Zhou Ying looked into Xu Hong's eyes, "When the queen mother was buried, the first emperor was still there. If you're smart enough, you should know who the real giver is. Or does it not matter who instructed me in your heart, but what matters is to pull me off the horse so that the wise master in your heart can ascend to the throne? ”

Xu Hong was silent for a while.

Zhou Ying sneered, "In fact, you and I both know that even if I really return to power, with the emperor's current level, I can't handle political affairs, and I have to rely on important ministers." Xu Hong, I admire your hard work on the emperor, and I also know that now in the emperor's heart, you are already the number one mentor and friend, and a confidant. Now I only have one sentence to ask you, do you want me to return to power, is it for the emperor or yourself? ”

Xu Hong's face turned white for a moment, and his face turned cold, "Zhou Ying, don't be impure in your own mind, just treat others with yourself, and spew blood!" ”

"Did I spew blood, or were you told that you were in the wrong mind and angry?" Zhou Ying sneered, picked up the chapter, turned around and left, "The first emperor left a will, so that the emperor will be pro-government when he is crowned." If you want your good nephew to resist in the name of unfilial piety, you can let the horse come. ”

The next day, Li Changyi was demoted to Renzhi County, Chaozhou.

Xu Hong stood silently in the court and did not say a word of objection. Of course, the ministers knew what the wind was blowing. invited the princess regent to return to power, and the recital of the emperor's wedding also disappeared on Zhou Ying's table. Chaozhong calmed down, but after a few months, Zhou Ying revealed that she was pregnant.

Because Zhou Ying had killed chickens and set an example for monkeys before, Yu Wei was still there, and the ministers only said that they were happy, and the court and the central government only seemed to be happy and happy.

Lin Ze invited to see the princess regent, and when the little eunuch saw that it was the servant of the criminal department, he hurriedly sent someone into the house to report, and made the best old gentleman's eyebrows, and served the most exquisite refreshments, for fear that the service would not be considerate. You must know that this Lord Lin has gone from obscurity in the past few years, and all of a sudden he has risen to prominence, and those who dare to speak out and secretly make stumbling have fallen off the horse, and no one knows who is in the background. Although he is just a squire, everyone knows that the Shangshu of the Criminal Department is only famous, and the person who is really in charge of the Criminal Department of the appointment and dismissal of officials is the henchman of the regent princess in front of him, Lord Lin Zelin.

Although the little eunuch was in front of the Heart Cultivation Palace, he didn't dare to snub the adult, personally served the tea, and whispered, "My lord, please sit down for a while, the princess is receiving the princess, I'm afraid it will take some time." ”

Before the words fell, the door of the main hall opened, and Xu Hong walked out.

The little eunuch's smile stiffened, and he felt some pain in his face, so he hurriedly retreated quietly.

Xu Hong walked to the center of the courtyard with an expressionless face, suddenly paused, turned his head, and met Lin Ze's eyes. Lin Ze peeked at being caught, but he didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and arched his hand towards Xu Hong with a smile through the window. Xu Hong's eyes were deep, he glanced at Lin Ze, and walked away.

Lin Ze's smile faded, and it wasn't until the little eunuch came and said that the princess had summoned him that Lin Ze smiled again and entered the main hall.

Lin Ze first saluted Zhou Ying and talked about state affairs before asking, "Now that Your Highness is pregnant, I am afraid that some people in the court are restless." ”

Zhou Ying stroked her stomach with her right hand, and sighed softly in her heart, this child is not very coincidental. Zhou Ying shook her head, that's it, after all, she also needs an heir. She pondered for a moment and shouted to Lin Ze to come closer, and as she was told, Lin Ze answered.

Although Zhou Ying was pregnant, she did not leave her job and go home as usual, and An An waited for the birth of the child. As Zhou Ying's month grows older, the people's hearts in the court are gradually fluctuating, and there are constantly people who play and fold, looking like they are thinking about Zhou Ying, and invite the princess regent to go home to recuperate, and then become regent after giving birth. But everyone knows that it is easy to delegate power, but it is not easy to retract authority.

Of course, Zhou Ying would not let go of power, and disposed of a few jumping Huan. Although the controversy has been calmed down, there is a dark tide surging under the surface of the water.

Everyone knows that this balance is temporary, even if Zhou Ying sticks to her power, there will be a day when she gives birth, and she will stay until that day...... Giving birth to a child is a ghost gate for women, even if Zhou Yinggui is the regent princess, it is no exception.

Early in the morning of this day, Su Zhi entered the house and prepared to serve Zhou Ying to get up.

saw that Zhou Ying had woken up, sat on the bed, stroked her stomach with her hand, and calmly ordered, "Today is a day off, I'm going to give birth." ”
