The anger in Fu Ping’An’s heart was already surging like waves.

But because the barrage was still less calm than her, she calmed down instead.

But amidst the continuous cursing on the empress dowager by the barrage, Fu Ping’An began to think: Is that the case?

It is true that nobles now value their reputation very much, but did her mother commit suicide just because of this? At that time, there were still her and her father in this world, so would mother act so impulsively?

Mother is not like that.

Fu Ping’An sat on the throne and thought for a long time, and finally asked Chen Yan to bring Aunt Quan over.

Fu Ping’An remembered that when Ah Zhi was sent out of the palace that day, Nanny Quan helped to say good things. She thought that the other party was a rare kind-hearted person in the palace, but it turned out that the day the Queen Mother was liquidated found out that Nanny Quan's family had long been arrested. Tian Bin bought it.

So about the Empress Dowager, Quan Nuan has already shaken it off and even talked about the fact that Emperor Wen killed a certain Zhaoyi and framed it for the former Empress. Fu Ping’An was very disgusted when she heard this, and she didn't listen to it much, and she never had any contact with Quan mama it after that.

At this moment, Sister Quan was standing in front of Fu Ping’An, with her head bowed in fear. Fu Ping’An said, "In the third year of Xingyun, there was an edict calling Princess Yong'an into the palace. Who wrote that edict?"

Sister Quan said: "Of course it was written by the Empress Dowager, Emperor Hui was young and sick, and so he didn't know how to issue edicts." "

Then what did she say to her mother that day?" Fu Ping’An’s tone was uncontrollably eager.

Sister Quan leaned over and buried her face on the ground: "At that time, the Queen Mother retreated to the left and right, and there were only the Queen Mother and Yong and Princess Yong'an in the palace."

"Didn't you hear anything?"

"This..." Sister Quan was sweating on her forehead, she shook her head after a while, and said, "I have already followed Your Majesty, there is absolutely no reason to lie."

Fu Ping’An also called a few old people in the Empress Dowager's palace, because she didn't want to make a big deal out of the matter. At that time, Fu Ping’An didn't kill the palace people, they were all imprisoned in the Beigong Palace but now they have come in handy.

Under the temptation of being able to commit crimes and make meritorious service, these palace people racked their brains to think back, and finally, someone remembered: "Is there a mention of rebellion..." "Is there a dispute? Was the mother poisoned?" "You scolded me badly."

It was not far from what Tian Gong said.

It was already late at night, and Fu Ping’An finally decided to go to the Queen Mother.

...

When stepping into Qianqiu Palace again, Fu Ping’An had a thought in a trance.

The building seems to have vitality, and it is the vitality that connects with its owner.

In her childhood memories, Yong'an Palace was a warm and spacious place, but when she returned from the Lingting Pavilion four years ago, she only felt that it was deserted.

And now she can still remember the first time she came to Qianqiu Palace, the tall palace room was like a huge mountain range, which made her shiver, but now she can only see that the paulownia wood has turned black, and the copper ornaments have turned green Rusty and in need of maintenance and repairs.

When she saw the queen mother in the palace, Fu Ping’An felt that the other party was like this old Qianqiu Palace. Although she still tried her best to dress neatly and make up delicately, she could already see the gray background.

She thought for a while and remembered that the Queen Mother was thirty-five years old this year.

But logically speaking, she should say something like "my son is busy with political affairs and neglects her mother", but thinking of what Tian Yan said half an hour ago, she couldn't raise the mood to greet her anyway.

Perhaps her gaze was too cold, so the Queen Mother spoke first: "It's late at night, and the emperor came to Qianqiu Palace, isn't it because she wants to pay my respects?" Her tone was sarcastic.

In fact, before saying these words, the queen mother considered whether she would put down her figure and adopt a soft policy, but perhaps because she had been in a high position for a long time, and the other party was a child she had watched grow up, she did not have time to change her identity, can't pull this face down.

What's more, the other party didn't seem to have any intention of talking to her.

Fu Ping’An’s voice was cold and hard: "I don't have this idea; I just have a question to ask you."

The queen mother sneered and looked up at Fu Ping’An. She mocked Fu Ping’An in her heart for being arrogant and rude.

She hated herself even more for losing to the opponent, to this arrogant child because of momentary inattention. She stared at Fu Ping’An fiercely, but gradually she felt it and put away her resentment.

Because the other party seems to hate her more than herself.

It's not like a winner's gesture.

Fu Ping’An knew that she was showing too much emotion. If she lost her composure like this before, the barrage would remind her.

But not at the moment.

Everyone knows why she came here.

Fu Ping’An finally said, "How did my mother die seven years ago?"

The Empress Dowager was stunned, and sneered for a while: "Oh, now you don’t even want to call me mother?"

"Was my mother killed by you?"

The Empress Dowager looked at her fixedly and sighed for a while.

"If Zhu'er is still alive, she will also be towards me like you are towards your mother."

[Talk about giving Yizhichun: Don't be angry, anchor; don't be angry, she is barking incompetently.]

[Insomnia day by day: It means that maybe it was because of doing too many bad things that harmed Yin and virtue, and that's why I killed my son.]

Fu Ping’An felt that she was very calm, but she said the next sentence uncontrollably: "Don't you think about it, is it because you have committed too many crimes and caused harm to your family?"

Flushed, eyes wide open, forehead covered with blue veins: "What are you talking about, you little bastard? You're a sharp-tongued little jackal, but I completely missed it."

[Chang'an Hua: ... you are indeed the king of insomnia and anger.]

[Insomnia day by day: Thank you, thank you, it's just so-so, just so-so.]

She pretended to calm down, but her cheeks were still twitching, she suddenly sneered and said, "You know all about it, and you still come to ask me what to do, it seems that the people around me don't have a tight mouth, but the one who forced her to death Not only me, but also the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, they couldn't wait to support the new emperor even though she was still alive, but my admonition to her was not the cause of her death."

Fu Ping’An looked at her coldly.    

The queen mother sneered: "At this point, I don't bother to lie to you. She will commit suicide. It should be because she heard the news of King Yong'an's death after she went back."    

The queen mother looked at her coldly: "You got the order wrong. King Yong'an died first. As for who did it, you can ask Fu Lingxian. It's important, so I covered it up for a few days."    

"Did Fu Lingxian kill Ah Weng...?” Fu Ping’An murmured.    

The queen mother squinted at her: "Who knows."   

[I really want to see the moon: calm down and be safe, she is lying to you.]   

[Total eclipse of the heart: I feel like I am pouring dirty water on the regent.]    

Fu Ping’An’s mind was shaken.

Today is no longer suitable for talking; she looked at the queen mother coldly and said: "The queen mother should have a good rest, there are some things that the queen mother does not say, I can also investigate, and after all, now, I have many more people in my hands than the queen mother."

After that, she turned around and prepared to leave, but as soon as she turned around, the empress dowager's shrill voice came from behind: "Do you think that you will have everything if you are in charge? On that day, you will find that you have more enemies than you imagined. Your minister, today is your minister, tomorrow I want to eat your flesh and blood, today I regard you as the emperor, tomorrow I will regard you as a beast, and my ministers are the most ruthless people in the world. You just need to feed them less. Then they will swarm up and devour you——I'm waiting for that day, I want to see how long you can last!"

This must contain a deep curse.

Fu Ping’An stopped and said calmly, "Thank you for the teachings of the Queen Mother, I will... forge ahead."

...

The Bo family is completely untrustworthy.

Fu Ping’An didn't know if this was Tian Yin's purpose in telling her to confront the queen mother, but she realized that the queen mother and she were indeed deadly enemies, and the queen mother hated her, and she couldn't help hating the queen mother.

The queen mother said that her mother only heard about her father's death after returning home, but the palace people said that Princess Yong'an's face was as frosty and snowy when she left the Qianqiu Palace. Her mother had heard the unbelievable news at that time.

Fu Ping’An already had a guess in her mind.

It was probably herself who was used by the queen mother to threaten her mother.

The conversation is very likely to be like this - if you commit suicide, let your child live, otherwise, we will confiscate your home for the crime of treason.

Regardless of whether this is the case or not, Fu Ping’An has been completely disappointed with the Queen Mother. If she had thought of letting her live in the palace for the elderly in the past, now she only hopes that she will disappear quickly.

For this, she needs to cut off all the Queen Mother's cronies.

Fortunately, half of this matter was already done. Three days later, Gao Yan, the former imperial historian, was found out for corruption and bribery.

Many members of the Bo family were drawn out of the collaborators, but Her Majesty only removed their titles, considering that they were members of the Empress Dowager's family.

The Bo family was hit hard, but Fu Ping’An couldn't vacate these positions, because if she didn't occupy them immediately, someone else would always occupy them.

The only thing she can rely on now is her relatives.

Several ministers jointly recommended the previous royal censor, Tian Bin, to continue to serve in this position, and Her Majesty also issued a sincere edict.

Tian Bin resigned twice because of old age and frailty and finally accepted the edict for the third time.

Seeing the official uniform and official seal being sent into the mansion, Tian Bin looked flat, but Zhang Ling was excited: "Congratulations, teacher, once again ranked third." Tian Bin sighed: "I don't know now... Is it right or not?

"That's wrong."

"What's wrong? Tian Gong is Her Majesty's uncle; so naturally, he is Her Majesty's best assistant."

Tian Ting said: "Your Majesty has early wisdom; maybe she has discovered the law..."

Zhang Ling showed his face Puzzled: "What rule?"

Tian Yan shook his head: "Forget it; there is no other way now."

As soon as the words fell, a woman wearing a hood was attracted by the porter and Zhang Ling hurriedly left, but couldn't bear it. Turning around, the woman is slender and graceful, and she can be seen to be a beauty just by her figure.

Tian Bin brought the woman to the main room, and the woman took off her hood, but it was Ah Zhi.

Tian Yan said with a smile: "Ah Zhi, ah, I should call you Miss Sun. I heard that you are talking about marriage recently. Do you want to take time out of your busy schedule to see me, an old man?"

“Tian Gong is the doctor of the royal family, a minister of the court, and I am grateful to see my concubine with the face."

Tian Bin waved his hand: "Okay, although you are a servant girl in name, you are no different from my daughter in reality. Now that you are grown up, I am very happy..."

Before the words finished, Ah Zhi straightened Kneeling on the ground, Tian Bin's last word got stuck in his throat and turned into a cough.

"You, you, and what are you doing!"

Azhi looked up: "Tian Gong, I don't want to get married; I want to enter the palace as an internal official, please help me."

Tian Yan was slightly stunned: "You are Dikun, why bother..."

Azhi looked at Tian Yan, and she could still remember that Her Majesty once said to her: "Then Azhi, you are the Qilin who assists me."

But she can't be a real courtier, but even if she can only be Internal officials are also good.

She pursed her lips and knocked heavily on the ground: "Azhi knows that she has received too much favor from Tian Gong, so she doesn't know what to do, but this is my greatest wish, please help me, Tian Gong, I have devoted myself to learning this year, but It's okay to do something simple for Her Majesty."

Tian Yan's lips moved, and after a while, he sighed.

...

Fu Ping’An fell into a state of study and work that was close to frenzy again, and it was useless to persuade her with a barrage this time.

Fu Ping’An thought it was because the shock was too great. She couldn't sleep at night, and she didn't know what else to do without reading and studying.

But the barrage concluded -

[Insomnia every day: She should have reached the stage of rebellion.]
