Chapter 224 Glass Necklace

The result is the same as Mo Ziyao thought. After Ruan Lingzheng learned that there were other hidden things in it, although he did not believe that the judgment might be wrong, he finally decided to re-Investigate the destruction of the Ding family in that year.

It's a pity that more than 100 people in the Ding family were lying down, and no one escaped. Useful clues have been broken. Now it is quite difficult to investigate again. I had to look through the file again to see if those who work in the Ding family are still there and if there are any insiders.

As for Suti, although she committed an unforgivable crime, for various reasons, Ruan Lingzheng did not want to die immediately, but put her into a cold palace. He would not let her go out until the matter came out.

Such punishment may be too cruel for others, but it is the best result for Suti.

Out of the hall, just as Mo Ziyao was about to leave, she suddenly heard someone timidly calling "Mother." Mo Ziyao turned around and accidentally saw a familiar face outside the hall. It was Clinique, the maidservant who Su Ti was sick and called from her palace a year ago.

Now that Suti is like this, those maidservants will probably not be better. Since this is a person from his own palace, he will naturally take it back now.

Although Clinique didn't say anything, Mo Ziyao also understood her thoughts and said to her, "Let's meet Yuyao Palace with this palace. Yunlan will arrange your work for you."

Clinique was overjoyed, and her excited voice trembled a little. She hurriedly said, "Thank you, mother!"

When Mo Ziyao returned to Yuyao Palace, the snow would stay and the sky was already slightly bright.

Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year, and everyone must go to celebrate the Empress Dowager early in the morning. From New Year's Eve to the Lantern Festival, the emperor did not have to go to court these days, and the ministers also asked for leave to go home for the Spring Festival. Today, the emperor must also go to the Empress Dowager to greet him.

I didn't close my eyes all night. Mo Ziyao was tired and took a short nap in the leisure time of the maidservists to dress up for her.

After finishing the makeup, Yunlan came to help her up and walked out of the door. Mo Ziyao took a few steps and suddenly remembered that she wanted to benefit the people in Yuyao Palace. She asked Yuzhi to do this, but she hadn't seen her this morning.

Mo Ziyao looked back at the people in the hall and asked, "Where is Yuzhi?"

Wanqiu replied, "The Empress left in a hurry and had not returned to the palace for a long time. Yuzhi was worried and went there." After saying that, she also looked out of her neck.

Yunlan frowned and said, "We have been back for a long time. Even if she was behind us, she should have come back long ago."

Mo Ziyao's eyes flashed slightly and said nothing. She just ordered Wanqiu to go to the warehouse to get some silver and distribute it to everyone. He took some good ginseng and blood bird's nest and went to Tairen Palace with Yunlan.

Tairen Palace was really lively. Mo Ziyao thought she had come early enough. She didn't think about it. Most people were earlier than her.

In the hall, when those early concubines saw Mo Ziyao's arrival, they got up and congratulated them one after another. Mo Ziyao also smiled and saluted.

Mo Ziyao found that their makeup today is very exquisite, with red apricot eyes and thick makeup, all like hibiscus, but they can't cover their red and swollen eyes and the tiredness of the bottom of their eyes.

Few people can really sleep on such a night.

Everyone looked for a seat, and several people whispered there, and some people looked at the inner room from time to time.

During this period, everyone left their seats twice. It turned out that Mrs. Yun and Mrs. Ya had arrived. Especially for the arrival of Mrs. Ya, almost everyone got up to congratulate her, which was more lively than when Mo Ziyao came in.

Mrs Ya stood at the door of the hall, as if all the light in the hall gathered on her person, and the moment she appeared became the focus of everyone's attention.

Mo Ziyao looked up and saw that she looked good today and was smiling and talking to everyone. Abandoned the pearl tassels of the past, the three thousand green silks were raised with only one meticulous magnolia hairpin, which was lightened with lead, which was a little lighter than usual. She seemed to feel Mo Ziyao's eyes, but turned around and accurately met Mo Ziyao's eyes.

Mrs Ya's raised phoenix eyes always flashed with an inexplicable light, and when looking at people, her lower jaws are always slightly raised, invisibly revealing a natural arrogance.

Now that she saw it, Mo Ziyao also got up and restrained her skirt and moved forward to congratulate her. Her eyes inadvertently caught a flash of red light between her neck. When she took a closer look, it turned out to be the glazed necklace she gave her during the banquet yesterday.

Seeing that she also wears it at such an occasion, it seems that she really likes this chain.

Mo Ziyao talked to her for a while, and turned around to see that Mrs. Yun was also not far away, and her eyes were also on the necklace.

When she saw Mo Ziyao looking at her, she also came over and said with a smile, "This glass and pigeon blood stone were originally common things, but after special carving, they immediately became beyond the ordinary and became dazzling. The two are so ingenious and beautiful when they are inlaid together.

Mrs Yun touched her collar, went forward, took Mo Ziyao's arm, and said, "Cousin, you see, I just lack a suitable necklace. There are still some materials in my palace. Please help me design one tomorrow."

"Ouch!" She shook Mo Ziyao's arm and said coquettishly, "This favor should be helped no matter what!" While talking, her eyes paused on Mrs. Ya again, and her eyes were full of envy.

"Yes, yes, there are also some good and rare things in the concubine. If you have time, can you help us design one?" The concubines gathered around and echoed one after another.

When Mrs. Ya saw that everyone was praising and envious, she turned out the necklace very cooperatively and put it outside for everyone to see. She was very happy.

While everyone was making noise, Luer came out of it and said to everyone, "The Empress Dowager didn't sleep well last night, so she hasn't got up yet. The Empress Dowager said that most of the ladies must be the same. Let's go back to rest and wait until three o'clock in the afternoon to go to Zeyi Hall for dinner. The emperor will also arrive at that time.

Lu'er's words are very clear. Now there is nothing for everyone here. There is no need to go back and forth. There is no need to pay New Year's greetings to the Empress Dowager or greeting the emperor.

After saying that, Luer left. Since the Empress Dowager hasn't got up yet, it's meaningless to stay here. Everyone left one after another, and soon the hall became empty.

Empress Dowager's bedroom.

There are many heaters in the room, and the temperature here is much warmer than the hall. In the middle of the house is a delicate incense burner. From time to time, smoke floats slowly over the stove, and the whole room is filled with the fragrance of sandalwood.

When Lu'er came in, Ruan Lingzheng was sitting by the Empress Dowager's bed, with a little tiredness on his face. I don't know what was said before, and both of them were silent at this moment. Luer stood in the distance, lowered her head, and breathed gently, and did not dare to disturb.

After a long time, he sighed and said, "Since you insist on doing so, there is nothing to say."

Ruan Lingzheng said, "Now the current situation is not good for us. The top priority is to solve external problems first. As for internal worries, as long as we don't do it first, he must not be able to find an excuse to make trouble."

"A high-quality mineral vein, just give it away, just for a few years of stable time, and I feel sorry for my family."

"This is also a last resort." Ruan Lingzheng said bitterly.

The Empress Dowager's face changed for a long time, and finally asked in a discussative tone, "Since the messenger of that dynasty was interested in Concubine Yao, it would be better to let her interce, which may make him change his mind. Didn't you say that this last one was also added later?

Ruan Lingzheng refused, "No, I still don't understand what he was thinking? He wants to take Yaoer away from me, but I will never allow it! I have lost her once, and I don't want to lose her this time!"

The Empress Dowager seemed to be a little angry with Ruan Lingzheng's words and said in a low voice, "It's just a woman. What if she can protect the safety of Ruan Nanguo and give her to China?"

Ruan Lingzheng was also angry and his tone turned cold: "When do I need to use women to protect my country? If women can be used to quell the war, and if I can't even protect my relatives or women, what kind of shit emperor am I?

"Is that your attitude when you talk to your mourning family?" The Empress Dowager was very angry, her chest fluctuated violently, and her breathing was short. Her head hurts again, and burning so many sandalwood can't calm her down.

"Alas, my family is old and can't control you, and many things are left to your nature. Don't mention that Yu Zhaoyi committed such a big crime, you just put it into the cold palace and let it go gently and skillfully. She is your concubine, and you can deal with it as you want, but have you ever thought that if you let go of the assassin so easily, will your safety be guaranteed in the future?

"Do you have to force their blood to splash in front of me?" Ruan Lingzheng ridiculed each other.

"You...you...don't you mourn for your family? What's your attitude?"

This time, the Empress Dowager was so angry that her body trembled. Lu'er hurried forward to make her angry and whispered, "Empress queen, don't be angry. The doctor said that you need to be calm and your condition can get better."

With the efforts of Lu'er, the Empress Dowager finally calmed down. She shook her head and sighed, "It's not her own. No matter how much the mourning family treats you, you won't know how grateful..."

But such a sentence changed Ruan Lingzheng's face. He suddenly got up and stared coldly at the Empress Dowager, as if the kind old man in front of him was his enemy.

He said indifferently, "If you hadn't been in the back position, would you have raised me? If it weren't for your selfishness and let me separate from my mother since childhood, will my mother die of depression? Did Phil lose his mother when he urinated so much? Also, do you dare to say that the death of the former queen has nothing to do with you? You vicious woman! This sentence came to her mouth and was swallowed by Ruan Lingzheng. After all, the Empress Dowager raised him and tried her best to push him to the throne of God. With these two points alone, he should give her the old age she wanted.

The Empress Dowager was slightly stunned and her face kept changing. After a long time, she smiled and shook her head in a helpless tone: "Maybe I owed you in my last life, so I let my family pay it back in this life."

Ruan Lingzheng's mood still fluctuated, and he did not change his attitude because of the Empress Dowager's softness. At this time, he couldn't say anything comforting words, but asked Lu'er to take good care of the Empress Dowager and turn away.

The lunch was a little depressing. The Empress Dowager and Ruan Lingzheng quarreled and broke up unhappily. It would be unrealistic to make the two make up quickly.

Two people who are too proud do not allow themselves to submit to each other in their hearts. This is such a pair of 'mother and son'.

Although the two still couldn't see anything on the surface, the careful people felt the atmosphere was strange and did not dare to be too casual. Originally, some concubines wanted to take this opportunity to perform well in front of the emperor to win the favor of the emperor, but anyone with a little brain knew that it was really not suitable to stand up at this time.

For good, it's just a family reunion New Year's dinner. Everyone eats their own meal obediently, and they are safe after a meal.

The Empress Dowager seemed to be really not feeling well, and she didn't talk much during the banquet. After eating a few bites, she had no appetite, so she asked Luer to help her back to the palace to rest.

The emperor also left halfway through the banquet. In the following time, everyone took a long breath, relaxed their tense nerves, and soon began to talk in groups.
