After the morning came down, Zhao Qian, as usual, went directly to Chongqing Palace without any communication.
Now he is the most powerful regent, anyone who sees him has to humbly and carefully. With such a setting, it is much easier to get started, and he doesn't have to worry about anything.
When Zhao Qian rushed to the apse of Chongqing Palace, Li Wei was watching people move flowers, and Wan Su's sudden death did not seem to affect her much.
When Qingxiang tremblingly told Li Wei that the regent was coming, Li Wei didn't even lift her head. She sat in the comfortable armchair and told people how to place the flower pots.
"Please, Queen Mother."
When approaching, Zhao Qian respectfully saluted her. Last night’s wind and rain blew off countless petals on the branches, and even some of them were just flower bones before they had time to bloom before being raged into the mud by the wind and rain.
She looked at the Can Hua in the same place, but did not go to see Zhao Qian. Zhao Qian stood near her with his head down, and Zhao Qian said to her: "The minister heard about what happened in the Queen Mother's Palace early in the morning, and was afraid that it would disturb the Queen Mother, so the minister came in to greet the Queen Mother."
Li Wei calmly said: "A trivial matter is not in my position. If the prince comes to see the joke, you should be disappointed."
Zhao Qian yelled in a low voice: "A Wei, why bother to say that. I know that something is wrong in your palace, I am more anxious than anything, so I hope I can come in and see you, hoping that I can help."
Zhao Qian’s words were not very loud, but Li Wei heard them clearly. None of the busy palace people in the courtyard noticed that the regent’s words were bad.
Li Wei glanced at him leisurely, and her eyes returned to the former alienation and indifference. She said: "Master, please pay attention to your current identity and impropriety."
Obviously she was right in front of him, and the two of them had already agreed to each other, and when they decided to go hand in hand for a lifetime, no one knew that fate had made such a big joke again. So close to the end of the world, the gap between them couldn't be crossed.
She is the queen dowager high above, and he can only be her subject, stand in front of her, and protect her and the little emperor. This is the only thing he can do.
After a moment of thinking, Zhao Qian has carefully put away those children's sentiments, and his speech has returned to the indifference of a long time ago.
"Queen dowager, the minister will never let anything that threaten you and the emperor happen, and the minister will also thoroughly investigate this matter for you."
"Why don't the prince do this little thing, the prince's focus should be on the previous political affairs, I will handle such a little thing myself, you bother."
This blocked Zhao Qian's words, he didn't know what to say, he secretly saw that all his old faces were familiar to him, but they could only drift away. It's a pity that there is no place in the world where they can leave everything behind and come together. After all, the two hearts go further and further.
"Queen mother, you allowed Li Hanlin to go to Yunnan?"
Li Wei nodded and said, "I agreed, and the prince will do what he wants."
Li Wei must have made such a decision carefully. Instead of staying under his nose, it is better to stay away. If there is any turmoil one day, Li Jia Liulang will not be quickly involved in it. There is always room for relaxation. It also left a way out for the Li family. Zhao Qian understood Li Wei's decision.
The two had nothing to say, Zhao Qian stood in front of him for a while and then resigned. Li Wei was still sitting in the armchair, and his figure was getting farther and farther away as he looked around.
Lan Hui brought the tea tray and walked over. Li Wei already looked up at the sky. It melts in spring, and it is very comfortable to shine on the body. At this time Princess Shujia ran, and Li Wei reached out and hugged her.
Shujia sat on Li Wei’s lap obediently, but saw the tears on the corner of Li Wei’s eyes. She stretched out her little hand and gently wiped the tears for Li Wei, and said softly: "The queen mother misses the father, don’t cry ."
Why do you shed tears? Li Wei forced the tears back again, and Xiang Shujia smiled: "Hey, the sun is too dazzling, and the eyes hurt. The queen didn't cry. The queen is an adult, so how can she easily shed tears."
There is someone to take care of Wan Su's behind, and Li Wei just asks a few words.
Mother Yun went back less than an hour later.
Mother Yun stood below and answered Li Wei's words.
"The silver, clothes, and jewelry have been rewarded according to the mother's orders, and they have returned the body of Miss Wansu."
Li Wei asked, "What complaint does their family have?"
Mother Yun said: "No, Wansu's mother also said that she would come to give you a kowtow to the queen mother. The old slave was afraid of disturbing her to rest, so she blocked her."
Li Wei said in a convenient way: "Let's let this happen for now."
She had to wait for Luo Chong's investigation result. Wan Su's death hope could tear open the long-held conspiracy. She had to grasp the situation and could no longer be buried in the drum like last time.
Luo Chong was a member of the Fengyi Temple, and the eldest sister later gave this to her because of Luo Chong's loyalty and ability. When the first emperor had just left, shortly after the will was issued, the new widows in the palace had a few arrangements that were willing to obey the will, and some people wanted to make trouble in Zhaoyang Palace. Thanks to Luo Chong's blocking inside and the Li family and Zhao Qian blocking her outside, she was able to secure this position.
She was not the birth mother of the little emperor, nor was she aunt. She was on the throne of empress dowager only by virtue of her adoptive mother's identity. Perhaps since the day the will was announced, someone secretly planned a conspiracy against her and Fu Guang. If she wants to survive, she must find the messenger behind the scenes.
Two days later, Luo Chong's investigation was almost done. He came to reply to Li Wei.
"As the Queen Mother, the young one has already investigated Wan Su's death similarly. According to your instructions, all people who had been with Wan Su have been asked questions, and the content of the questioning has been recorded." Luo Chongrang A stack of dialogue content was presented.
This is a transcript made by Li Weirang. She glanced briefly, before taking a closer look at the contents, she asked Luo Chong: "What have you discovered during the two days of investigation? Is there anything wrong with Wan Su's hanging?"
Luo Chong shook his head and said, "When I returned to the Queen Mother, I didn't. Wansu had no dispute with anyone, nor did she have any grudges. She had a small family situation and visited according to the Queen Mother's intentions, and found no special place. ."
Wan Su's death was entirely her own pursuit of death, and had nothing to do with others, and it was not entirely the case. Outsiders will say that she is not generous to her servants, and that she forced them to death.
Although she had always thought that Wan Su must have some compelling reason to seek death, but now it seems that it has little to do with those, but she can't think of it. This result is also expected, she can accept it. Li Wei said, "Thanks for your hard work."
Her gaze moved again to the large stack of transcripts, and her next task was to study these conversations to see if she could find anything wrong.
