"Yunzhi, Qiu Jincheng was able to do such a thing, and now he has been punished. It is still unknown whether he is alive or dead. Although Xi'er suffered a great crime, she was finally saved. Let's end this matter here. Continuing to investigate will also damage Xi'er's reputation."

The Queen Mother finally spoke, but Song Qingci really didn't like what she said.

In the past, she had endured it because of her status, but now, she didn't want to endure it at all.

If anything really happens, the worst that can happen is a massacre.

It's not like he hasn't killed anyone before.

So what if she is the Queen Mother? To put it bluntly, she is just an old woman. She is not afraid of any number of guards around her.

She is not the emperor. The death of the emperor may lead to turmoil in the country and make the people at the bottom suffer. She is just a queen mother. Even if she has real power, she is just a queen mother.

On the surface, in terms of justice, it can only be the Queen Mother. She has a lot of concerns.

If you can't bear it, then you don't need to bear it anymore.

Song Qingci looked at the Queen Mother with a fake smile and said, "Your Majesty, you haven't read the blood letter written by Shan Xi yet. Why do you say that as if you already know the whole story?"

The Queen Mother had never expected that Song Qingci would dare to speak so directly. Her expression suddenly became even uglier.

"I am just making a reasonable guess. A man and a woman were alone in the same room, and both of them were seriously injured. The cause and effect of this matter should be easy to guess. "The Queen Mother has been immersed in the harem for many years, and she immediately thought of a reasonable explanation.

"Oh, a reasonable guess?! Then the Queen Mother might as well speculate further, was Qiu Jincheng instructed by someone or did he just have a brain injury to dare to do such a dirty thing in the palace?!"

Madam Zhao couldn't stand Song Qingci's attitude and said directly, "Madam Shan, be careful with your words. This is the Queen Mother!"

"I just raised a reasonable question, how can that not be a matter of caution?! I said that precisely because we should be cautious!" Song Qingci, who had let himself go, did not indulge her at all.

She even dared to question the Queen Mother, let alone an old maid.

"And, if I remember correctly, Qiu Jincheng was the son-in-law that the Queen Mother strongly recommended to my mother-in-law. I don't know if the Queen Mother was deceived by the Qiu family and didn't know that Qiu Jincheng was such a beast, or if the Queen Mother knew that Qiu Jincheng had problems, but for some unknown reason, she chose to forget it. And then introduced such a person to Shan Xi?"

These words are not only murderous but also heartbreaking.

The Empress Dowager, who always kept a calm face and never showed her emotions, finally changed her expression.

"How dare you!" he shouted angrily.

The palace servants serving on the side were so frightened that they trembled with fear, but Song Qingci, who was the center of the topic, didn't feel anything at all.

Not only was she not afraid, but Dan Li beside her did not show any fear either.

Shan Li also said at this time, "Empress Dowager, my wife is right. Qiu Jincheng was recommended by the Empress Dowager. My mother is very relieved about this. That's why Xi'er will come to the palace for the banquet today."

"If Xi'er hadn't entered the palace for the banquet today, then the following events wouldn't have happened. Xi'er wouldn't be lying on the bed now, breathing weakly, and dying."

When Shan Li spoke, there was no expression on his face, he just looked at the empress dowager coldly.

The Queen Mother felt uneasy when seeing this.

It seemed as if she saw again the look of her father standing in front of her and questioning her many, many years ago.

"Yunzhi, are you blaming me?!" After waiting for a long while, the Queen Mother finally spoke.

At this time, she completely lost the aura of a queen mother. Not only did her voice soften, but her posture also softened. She even changed the way she referred to herself.

I am no longer the high and mighty me, but the timid me.

Aunt Zhao felt very distressed seeing her like this.

It has been many years since the Empress Dowager showed such an attitude.

For a moment, she seemed to see again how they had compromised in the past.

"I dare not!"

He said he didn't dare, but his eyes, attitude and tone of voice were completely different.

"I just want to know the truth."

Facing Shan Li's strength, the Queen Mother's attitude softened instantly. She looked sad and said slowly, "It's all my fault! I saw that Mr. Qiu was well-behaved, so I thought that his son would be a good one. Xi'er is also at the age of getting married, so I thought about finding a good husband for Xi'er. I really want to find a good home for Xi'er."

"Xi'er is my niece. We both have the surname Shan. I just want her to be well. I don't have any other thoughts." As she spoke, a few tears fell from the Queen Mother's eyes.

Song Qingci watched her performance and cursed her in his heart.

There was a burst of beeping.

This Queen Mother is so amazing.

When they need to be tough, they are very tough, but once they find that being tough is useless, they will immediately soften.

This ability to bend and stretch, and to swallow one's pride, is something that most people cannot learn.

No wonder she was able to fool the old emperor.

With her skills, no one else would be able to learn them even if they died of exhaustion.

"I believe that the Queen Mother has no other thoughts, and her kindness is all for Xi'er. Everything that happened today was done by the Qiu family. In this case, I beg the Queen Mother to issue an imperial decree to severely punish the Qiu family and Qiu Jincheng. To seek justice for Xi'er." Shan Li did not insist on being serious, but took the opportunity to put the Queen Mother on the spot.

Shan Liming understood that if the Queen Mother chose Qiu Jincheng from the Qiu family to be Xier's husband, then this Qiu family must be hers.

He now wanted her to deal with the Qiu family in public.

As for Qiu Jincheng, even if he could leave the palace alive, he would definitely not survive. In his eyes, he was already a dead man!

If he dares to have such dirty thoughts towards his sister and dares to put them into action, then he must die.

"This..." The Queen Mother hesitated. The Qiu family was in the Censorate. If used well, they would be a very good chess piece.

She hasn't even started using him yet. If she abandons him now, it will do her a lot of harm and no benefit in employing people in the future.

"Qiu Jincheng is seriously injured now, and it is still unknown whether he is alive or dead. If we deal with the Qiu family now, I am afraid it will be a pretext." The Queen Mother thought for a long time and continued, "Moreover, what Qiu Jincheng did should have nothing to do with the Qiu family. If we deal with him like this, I am afraid it will chill the hearts of those ministers."
