That Maha was only slightly injured, so I only have seven days to deal with him by activating the power of the Black Dragon Jade through the resentful spirit? But I don't know where this Maha is, how can I lead him out?

This night, Hou Fuzhong was afraid that I was not the only one who could not sleep. The Stygian Flame must have been sad in the room, and I strictly ordered the Iron Guard not to reveal what happened that night, and although the Iron Guard did not dare to ask questions and speculate about Mr. Fu's disappearance from the carriage, he must have felt strange in his heart. I thought about it all night, and when it was dawn, I went to the old man and reported to him the situation of the previous night, and at the same time, I wanted to hear his ideas.

The old man didn't show too much emotion about Mr. Fu's death, people lived to his age, and he had experienced too many things, not to mention that he grew up in a big family like the Yun family, and he had already practiced the ability to collapse in front of Mount Tai without changing his face. God is pitiful, how could I initially think that the Yun family is special and the Yun family is harmonious? Did Yun Zheng protect me too well, so that I didn't see the ugliness of this Houmen Deep Courtyard earlier? Yun Zheng, I miss you, but sometimes, I really complain about you, I really blame you...... "Grandpa, Mr. Fu said that the people in the second room were very likely to conspire with outsiders and harm Yun Zheng, what do you think about this?" "I am eager to know the old man's analysis, with his shrewdness, at least a few suspects should be locked up. The old man glanced at me faintly, smiled slightly, and looked noncommittal. I urged suspiciously: "Grandpa......"

"Girl, I want to know, it's only seven days, how are you going to lure Maha out?" The old man ignored my questions and asked me questions instead. I thought about it, the only one who can lead Maha to show up is probably today, I know that the emperor has the intention of saving the lonely, if I can ask him to activate the Shending within seven days, then Maha will definitely make a move, and the black dragon jade will be able to exert its power...... I only heard the old man say slowly: "There are priorities, girl, ......"

"I see, grandpa." I stood up, "I'll go into the palace right away." ”

When waiting for the decree at the palace gate, the people who did not wait for the emperor asked the queen mother to invite them first. Although I was anxious, I didn't dare not go to see her, but I didn't know what happened when the Queen Mother summoned me? After saluting, the Queen Mother gave her a seat, and said with a smile: "Ye girl, you came just in time today, and there are some things in this palace that I want to hear your thoughts." ”

I don't know why, I just listened to the Queen Mother: "Girl, the emperor's draft has also been for a while, this year's children, I think it is also your Yun family's appearance, conduct, and family background, which is most in line with my heart, and worthy of the burden of this mother's world, what do you think?" ”

I was slightly surprised, what does the Queen Mother mean, does she want to be the queen? Although she also mentioned this matter to me last time, but the words are unknown, how can she praise and show favor so naked this time? What's more, whoever is the queen, and who to discuss, it will not be my turn to make an idea, what is the intention of the Queen Mother to do this suddenly? How do I answer that? If it had been before, I would not have objected, and I would have put an end to the idea that the Queen Mother always thought that I wanted to do something with the emperor. However, after knowing that Yun Zheng's murder was inseparable from the people in the second room, and after knowing the ambitions of the people in the second room, how could I still tolerate a queen in the second room?

"Niangniang, the concubine thinks this matter is inappropriate." I thought about it for a while, risking being misunderstood by the Queen Mother, and I couldn't let Xiangrong be in the position of the queen.

"Oh?" The Queen Mother obviously didn't expect me to refuse so directly, and her expression was slightly stunned, "What is the reason?" ”

"Niangniang must know that we have booked a family before." I pondered the words in my heart, "I want to be blessed, my fiancé passed away before I passed the door, although I was favored by the emperor and had the honor to enter the palace to accompany me, but in the end, Derong was at a loss, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to convince the people and damage the emperor's holy name." ”

Uncle Tang regretted the marriage of the Mo family and delayed the age of his granddaughter, Yun Xiangrong entered the palace at the age of nineteen, which was already the laughing stock in the palace and the "evidence" of her "tending to be inflammatory" and "climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix". In such a snobbish place as the palace, I am afraid that it is not easy for the son to be Rong, once he sits on the throne of the harem, he will only become the target of the public, and then he will know how the word "death" is written.

"What should I do?" The Queen Mother smiled indifferently, "I don't think I want to be blessed, it's her blessings, her fiancé just can't bear her blessings, so he died early, such blessings, of course, only the emperor can stand it." ”

It's really up to her to live or die, and I smiled unnaturally, not knowing what to do. The Queen Mother saw that I was not happy, and her face sank slightly: "Ye girl, do you have other ideas?" ”

"The Queen Mother Mingjian." I was shocked, knowing that the Queen Mother was suspicious again, so I quickly knelt down and said, "The concubine is really worried about damaging the emperor's holy name, and the concubine is completely out of loyalty and patriotism, and she is absolutely selfless." ”

"Look at you, get up and sit down." The Queen Mother smiled, "Of course this palace knows that you are loyal and patriotic, the Yun family has been loyal for generations, and you are loyal to the court, and this palace understands it in her heart." ”

I breathed a sigh of relief, thanked me and sat down, and the Queen Mother said unhurriedly: "Ye girl, the Yun family has done a lot of things for the imperial court over the years, and this palace has it in mind. In the thirteenth year of Xiande, the Huanghe River burst its embankment, and the imperial court fought with Yaoyue and the treasury was empty, and it was your Yun family who took the money out to help the imperial court tide over the difficulties; In the seventeenth year of Xiande, there was a great drought in Chaozhou, and it was also your Yun family who took the lead in donating funds and helped the imperial court; In the twenty-second year of Xiande, your Yun family helped the South China Sea Anti-Japanese Army raise a large number of military ...... Girl, the merits of your Yun family over the years have always been remembered by this palace. ”

Remember, it's not necessarily a good thing. I was secretly frightened, it turned out that the imperial court would ask the Yun family for a sum of money every few years under the pretense? I don't know if this is the royal family's means to stop the expansion of the Yun family's power? The Queen Mother mentioned these things for no reason, could it be...... I was a little stunned in my heart, could it be that I wanted to ask the Yun family for money again? So, she couldn't wait to show favor to the Yun family? But the emperor wants to ask the Yun family for money, just say a word? Unless the amount will be so large that the Yun family may refuse, so they will make a wish for the Yun family?

I suddenly knew in my heart, since I have the chips in my hand, is it difficult to negotiate with you? Quietly listening to the Empress Dowager's enumeration of the Yun family's exploits, a noncommittal smile appeared on the corner of my lips.

The Queen Mother said a lot, I just smiled faintly, didn't say a word, but wanted to see who was in a hurry first. Sure enough, the Queen Mother saw that I didn't react at all, and she couldn't hold her breath a little bit: "Ye girl, this palace is looking for you today because I want to ask your Yun family for help." ”

"The Queen Mother is serious." When I saw her talking about this, I didn't dare to take the momentum, so I hurriedly said, "Dare to ask the Queen Mother why is she bothered?" ”

"The palace heard that a few days ago, the governor of Jiangnan gave the emperor a fold, and the southern merchants gathered together to hoard salt and rice for profit, and now the price of rice and salt has skyrocketed, and the people are dissatisfied, and the court raises these useless courtiers, and they can't think of a solution to the problem, and they only know how to ask the court for money to buy salt and rice at a high price to the price of salt per square meter." The Queen Mother slapped the table angrily and said, "The imperial court has experienced the rebellion in the northern Xinjiang a few years ago, the emperor ascended the throne, sympathized with the suffering of the people, and ordered the national tax reduction for three years. ”
