Chapter 538 They were killed by the suspect
Empress Dowager Ruan practiced martial arts and she has always been in excellent health.
The reason she fainted this time was that she hadn't been able to sleep peacefully for many days, and yesterday she was so angry at Ruan Xinglin's words that she fainted due to shortness of breath.
She slept for half a day and drank some broth, and finally she felt much better.
"Empress Dowager, His Majesty has been waiting for you here for a long time and didn't even go to the morning court." Qingli said in a low voice.
"Where is Yi'er?" asked Empress Dowager Ruan.
Qingli pointed to the couch beside him and said, "Your Majesty must be tired. He just leaned against it and fell asleep."
Empress Dowager Ruan was slightly startled and looked at Fu Jinyi who was sitting on the couch beside the window.
His fair skin made the dark circles under his eyes particularly obvious.
It seems that I didn’t get enough sleep.
Queen Mother Ruan took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Fu Jinyi suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Empress Dowager Ruan who was so close to him.
His eyes were bloodshot and he was sleeping so deeply that he didn't realize why he saw his mother when he opened his eyes.
"Go to bed. It's uncomfortable here." Queen Mother Ruan said softly.
Fu Jinyi said "oh" and stood up and walked towards the bed. After taking a few steps, he stopped and looked back at the empress dowager.
"Mother, you're awake!" He finally came to his senses.
Queen Mother Ruan smiled gently, "I'm sorry to have worried you. I'm just a little tired. The imperial physician said there's nothing serious."
Fu Jinyi stepped forward and hugged Empress Dowager Ruan's hand, "Mother, please don't be angry with your uncle, okay?"
"I'm not angry." Empress Dowager Ruan felt sad and rubbed her youngest son's head.
"It's because I didn't handle things properly that you are all in trouble."
Fu Jinyi whispered, "Mother, it's actually not that important."
It doesn’t matter who sits in that position, and neither do the women’s army and female officers. His short life should not be wasted on these things.
Empress Dowager Ruan's eyes were swollen, "Yier, go back to the Yangxin Palace to rest, okay?"
"Mother, I'll let Doctor Zhou come in and give you..." Fu Jinyi said.
"I'm really fine." Queen Mother Ruan chuckled, "Go back to sleep first, or I'll take you back."
Fu Jinyi quickly held Empress Dowager Ruan's shoulders and said, "Don't worry, mother. I will come to see you later. You should have a good rest."
"Okay." Queen Mother Ruan nodded with a smile.
Fu Jinyi then looked back every few steps and slowly walked out of Kunning Palace.
Empress Dowager Ruan raised her lips and ordered, "Let Wei Zhen and Su Bingjie come to see me."
Qing Li whispered, "Empress Dowager, the two adults are waiting in the side hall."
In fact, Lord Wei and Lord Su had already arrived, but because the emperor was here, they didn't want to disturb him.
"Go ahead." Empress Dowager Ruan supported her forehead with one hand.
After thinking about it all night, she finally made up her mind.
Wei Zhen and Su Bingjie came in and were shocked when they saw the empress dowager's tired look.
"Empress Dowager... take care of yourself." Wei Zhen was worried.
Queen Mother Ruan smiled and said, "Everyone, get up. I'm fine."
Wei Zhen and Su Bingjie looked at each other and kowtowed heavily, "We are the ones who made things difficult for you."
"Your Majesty, we don't want our official positions anymore. We come to the palace to be your maids and stay by your side."
"We have such a beautiful country. You don't have to be trapped in the palace like me." Queen Mother Ruan said softly.
"I recommend a place for you to go, far away from the capital. You are all wise people and will live well."
Wei Zhen gently rested her forehead on Empress Dowager Ruan's knees, "Your Majesty, we will follow your arrangements. We can go anywhere. We just hope that Your Majesty will be well."
There was a gleam of light in Empress Dowager Ruan's eyes.
These are the children she watched grow up, and she feels pain in her heart.
"Empress, where are Lanxin and Yingying?" Su Bingjie asked softly.
Queen Mother Ruan said nothing, but just sighed softly.
Su Bingjie understood.
"They did something wrong. They have made contributions in the past. They can't..."
"Send them away and never let them return to the capital again." Queen Mother Ruan closed her eyes and said, "Leave now."
Wei Zhen and Su Bingjie still did not move, but just looked at Queen Mother Ruan with tears in their eyes.
"Empress Dowager, are you willing to accept this?" Wei Zhen asked in a hoarse voice.
Queen Mother Ruan smiled softly and looked up at the two of them. "Everything I have asked for has been fulfilled. I have no regrets in my life."
Su Bingjie wiped away the tears from her eyes and said, "My queen, no matter where we are, we will come back as long as you need us."
"it is good."
Queen Mother Ruan invited them to have dinner with her. She had already written the rules for the reorganization of the women's army.
"Take it and see, women can also protect the country, there is no need to cancel it, disperse it to various places and continue to defend the country."
The children in the women's military camp have worked hard to get to where they are today. They have done nothing wrong. It is the best choice for them to be dispersed to various places and enlisted.
"If you give this charter to the Prime Minister, he will have nothing to say." Wei Zhen said coldly.
Su Bingjie gently pulled her sleeve.
Wei Zhen suppressed the anger in his eyes.
They bid farewell to Queen Mother Ruan.
They knew this would be the outcome from the moment Ruan Xinglin made his request in the court.
Can not change.
The Queen Mother loved her two sons dearly.
However, before they could leave the palace, Song Zhiyi came to see the empress dowager in a panic.
"Your Majesty, Lanxin and Yingying... were killed." Song Zhiyi knelt in front of the empress dowager, tears streaming down her face.
Queen Mother Ruan was shocked. "Who?"
"The Pacification Division led soldiers to surround the villa, saying they were going to go in and arrest the suspect. Liao Yingying clashed with them. When I rushed back, Lan Xin and Yingying were both dead."
"Prince Kang captured a suspect, saying that he was caught from a separate courtyard. The suspect was a notorious bandit who had killed many people. People from the Pacification Office said that Lanxin and Yingying were killed by the suspect." Song Zhiyi said hatefully.
Who doesn't know this is an excuse?
It was obvious that the Regent ordered people to kill Lan Xin and Ying Ying.
Wei Zhen's face changed, "The Pacification Division has no respect for the law! Madam, I will go and settle accounts with them."
"Stop!" Empress Dowager Ruan stopped her, "Who saw the people from the Pacification Bureau killing them?"
"Yi Lanxin... Everyone in the world knows that she went to Wudao Mountain. How is she going to settle accounts with the Pacification Bureau?"
"My queen, in addition to the Pacification Division, there is another group of men in black." Song Zhiyi gritted his teeth and said, "We also made great achievements immediately, but the Southern Dynasty can't tolerate us."
Wei Zhen: "Is it the Emperor?"
"It's not easy for the emperor to disband the women's army." Queen Mother Ruan said immediately.
But since the Pacification Office has been dispatched, it must be related to the Regent.
Queen Mother Ruan felt a heart-wrenching pain.
A Yuan didn't even ask any questions and directly ordered the Pacification Office to kill people?
Did he have any resentment towards her?
"Don't be impulsive. I will find out everything." said Queen Mother Ruan.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Ruan requests an audience."
Queen Mother Ruan said angrily, "Let him in!"
This was not done by the emperor, but it must be related to Ruan Xinglin.
Wei Zhen and the others want to retreat.
"No need to leave, wait here." Ruan Xinglin came to the palace at this time, it must be because of the same thing.
