The Empress Dowager Jade had no choice but to dismiss the plan to urgently transfer the elites of the two border armies of Ningyuan and Suyuan to the hinterland of the Central Plains to suppress the bandits, and instead set her sights on the armies in the west and south.

However, the west and south sides of the country are either by the sea, or they are close to small countries that are not worth mentioning, and the number of defenders has always been small and the troops are weak due to the long-term lack of fighting, and they have no combat effectiveness at all.

Just when the Empress Dowager Jade was worried, a special small team asked for an order to go out of Beijing to rush to the destination. This team is the royal subordinate officials and pro-army troops of the king of Shunjun, led by two lords of the sect.

When the Empress Dowager Jade heard this, she was even worse. What is the king of Shunjun, but he is just a puppet, and all the people inside and outside are the people of the Zongzheng family!

Alas! Let's deal with it like this first, I hope that this pro-guard army of the Shunjun Royal Mansion can quell the turmoil in Yuchuan County. But thinking about it like this, the Jade Empress Dowager's heart was even more unstable.

She had a faint feeling that the details of this political family were probably more than just what it appeared on the surface. The daughter of the Zongzheng family, who has a lot of background, will definitely not stay in Tianxingguo like this. What does she want to do? The Empress Dowager Jade didn't dare to guess, there was an instinctive fear and vigilance.

When people are confused, there will always be some unbounded thoughts. For example, I don't know who burned incense and prayed in the palace, so that there was a palace full of smoke all day long, and I couldn't even sleep well.

Because of this period of time, the Empress Dowager Jade took care of the previous dynasty, so she handed over the power of the harem back to Queen Xu, and then asked the imperial concubine to assist. As for how these two are fighting openly and secretly, she can't control it for the time being.

Queen Xu was so aggrieved that she couldn't do it, she was already a nobleman after a country, so she could only watch those sluts climb to the high positions one by one. In the past, Shino was her worst enemy, but now that she has no son, she has lost her threat.

So Jin Guifei, who has a strong mother's family behind her, has become Queen Xu's biggest thorn in her side, and the five princes from Concubine Jin Xian are against Queen Xu's three princes everywhere, and she doesn't put the queen prince in her eyes at all, making Queen Xu so angry that her liver hurts.

As for Prince Xiang Murong Shu, Queen Xu didn't take him seriously. The reason is simple. Although Murong Shu was treated differently by the Jade Empress Dowager at this time, Murong Shu did not have a powerful maternal family, nor did he have a wife family to help. He is a scenery now, but he will definitely not be a climate in the future.

What the? Is it very likely that Murong Shu will marry Yan Yushu? That also requires Yan Yushu to clear the charge of assassinating the emperor first! And wait until then. Maybe Murong Shu is already dead—he has killed a lot of Golden Horde barbarians, and will he still have the life to live to marry a wife?

Empress Xu's confidant Jian Yì said that he might as well go and win over the imperial concubine and deal with Concubine Jin Xian together. And from the fact that the Queen Mother is still willing to seal the high position of the Xiao family, it can be seen that the Queen Mother does not want to be an enemy of the Xiao family at this time.

That's how it was in the palace. Changing interests transform allies and enemies. Queen Xu thought about it and finally decided to give it a try. If the Xiao family is willing to drive for her, she will ascend to the position of the queen mother in the future, and she will be rewarded with a whole corpse.

On the night of the emperor's assassination, the imperial concubine sent people to search the palace, and although no assassins were found, many private affairs in the palace were found. Empress Xu took these things as an opportunity to test the imperial concubine's mind.

After a try, Queen Xu couldn't help but be overjoyed, Xiao's attitude was a world of difference compared to before. Although she is still so arrogant and rude. But in the end, he will not fight with Queen Xu as in the past, but shows a vague but very firm support.

- Empress Xu found out that Concubine Jin Xian was also courting the imperial concubine.

Even Shi Guifei, who has always been the same party as the imperial concubine, also commanded the behavior of the eldest prince and the third prince side by side, and expressed her sincere attitude to Empress Xu.

Empress Xu was so proud, she even faintly hoped in her heart that it would be best for the emperor to sleep for a long time. If the emperor is alive again, maybe the Xiao family will still be pregnant, and maybe those young and beautiful concubines will also be pregnant. Then she and her son will undoubtedly have many more enemies.

This time, there are many people in the palace who eat and worship the Buddha and worship the Sanqing Daozun. Empress Xu didn't want to care. But those cheap hooves are too much, crying in front of the Buddha or Daozun all day long, listening to the ears of the high-spirited queen mother, it is really uncomfortable.

Empress Xu ordered Emperor Xiao's concubine to deal with such trivial matters. I don't want to, after the imperial concubine walked around, she brought a person who has always been a dragon and does not see the end.

It is the innocent real person of Zuo Guoshi. Speaking of another right national division, it is said that he was originally going to Beijing, but he was blocked by the exile army on the road, and he didn't know if he could rush to Beijing.

So the only Zuo Guoshi who is currently in Beijing. The Empress Dowager Jade attaches great importance to it. Especially after the incident happened, Zuo Guoshi reasoned with astrology that the Golden Horde barbarian army was going to surround the capital.

When Zuo Guoshi saw Queen Xu, he was not rude, he shook off the dust and saluted, and then said directly without giving any face: "Poor Dao has important things to meet the Queen Mother, I don't know if the Queen Mother can be a substitute?" ”

Empress Xu smiled unnaturally, did not dare to refuse, and hurriedly sent someone to the Xuanzheng Hall to find the Empress Dowager Jade who was reviewing the chapter and dealing with state affairs. She asked Master Zuo Guoshi to sit down again, and asked with a smile: "But I don't know what happened after the national teacher was in a hurry to find his mother?" ”

Master Zuo Guoshi still didn't give any face and said: "Queen Mother, this important matter should only be told to the Queen Mother alone." The queen really wants to hear it, it's not impossible, it's just ......"

Queen Xu was so frightened that she hurriedly waved her hand, laughing, the two of them were competing with Concubine Jin Xian's mother and son to brush up their favor in front of the Empress Dowager Jade at this time, how could she dare to listen to the Empress Dowager Jade's private affairs? So what Grandpa Luo hasn't come back yet, who knows if it will be related to that person?

Seeing the opportunity, Concubine Xiaohuang said that she wanted to step down: "The concubine went to ask, it was Concubine Yu, Concubine Ning and others from Yuning Palace who were praying for the Queen Mother, the Emperor and the National Fortune, and there would be three more days." ”

Empress Xu waved her hand and said majestically: "Since this is the case, then it's enough." Imperial concubine, you can also go down, and recite more Taoist scriptures or Buddhist scriptures in the palace if you have nothing to do, and pray for the queen mother and the country. ”

The imperial concubine said: "The concubine body is trying to report to the queen's mother, and the concubine body intends to invite the Protector Heavenly Maiden into the palace to chant the blessing scriptures for a few days, I don't know if the mother can allow it?" ”

Come on, lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot. Queen Xu didn't dare to refuse, so she had to nod. The imperial concubine said goodbye to Master Zuo Guoshi again, and then left.

Empress Xu stared at her back that was still as graceful as a girl, and her eyes were full of dark light and shadow. The humiliation that Shino gave her in the past, she will never forget it no matter what. Hmph, if it's useful now, use it first, and then calculate the general ledger in the future!
