Ai Duoer almost didn't wait for anyone to report, so she hurriedly broke in.

"The Empress Dowager, the concubines have something important to report, and ask the Empress Dowager to let the concubines in." When Ai Duoer saw Aunt Hebi come out, she knew that the Queen Mother didn't want to see her, so she had no choice but to shout loudly inside.

Immediately, he immediately knelt in the front hall of Ningshou Palace without hesitation to show his determination to see the Empress Dowager. Seeing this, Aunt Hebi couldn't drive people anymore, so she could only turn around and go back to ask the Empress Dowager again.

After about half a cup of tea, because it was hot and the clothes she was wearing were very thin, when Ai Duoer's knees were slightly numb, she and Aunt Bi walked out of it.

"Concubine Niangniang, the Empress Dowager invites you in." Aunt Hebi politely owed a debt to Ai Duoer.

"Thank you, Auntie." Hearing this, Ai Duoer supported the ground with her hand, hurriedly got up, and walked inside.

Ai Duoer went all the way with Aunt Bi to the Buddhist hall where the Queen Mother chanted. She was a little surprised, because the Empress Dowager attaches great importance to the matter of worshiping the Buddha on weekdays, and rarely sees people in the Buddhist hall.

Ai Duoer entered the Buddha hall and knelt down respectfully and saluted. But the Empress Dowager did not turn around, she still sat there cross-legged, plucking the rosary in her hand with one hand, knocking on the wooden fish regularly with the other, and chanting the scriptures in her mouth.

After Ai Duoer saluted, the entire Buddhist hall suddenly fell into a dead silence, only the Empress Dowager seemed to have the sound of chanting. But the current situation made Ador feel that this kind of sound was even more unsettling and nervous.

Finally, the Empress Dowager stopped knocking on the wooden fish, turned her back to Ai Duoer and said, "Let's talk about something directly." ”

The Empress Dowager has come to her current status, and she is obviously not a simple person. She knew that the current situation was a big deal that made Ador so anxious to see her.

"The Empress Dowager, before the concubine said. Please ask the Empress Dowager to read that the concubine's father has assisted two emperors, and no matter what mistakes he makes, he can be dealt with lightly. Ai Duoer's eyes were full of sincerity, and she turned her head towards the Queen Mother.

She can't allow her father to hurt the emperor, but she doesn't want her father to end up with a head on the ground.

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she slowly turned around. With the support of Aunt Hebi, he got up and said: "The state has national laws, and the harem cannot interfere in politics, you should know this, the mourning family can't give you any promises." ”

"The Empress Dowager" Ai Duoer's eyes were a little moist. She is now in a dilemma, and she is now the emperor's person. Naturally, the emperor can't be allowed to do anything. But what she can gain a foothold in the harem is the big tree of Aifu, once this big tree falls, her miserable end in the future can also be predicted.

But forcing the palace is not so simple, since ancient times, those who want to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne are not good to die. Even if he helped his father succeed in winning the throne. Then he will be infamous through the ages, and there will be no place for the world.

After thinking about it, Ai Duoer still decided to gamble, she looked up at the Empress Dowager and said: "Empress Dowager, if one day the concubine has meritorious service to the Yuan Chu country, can the Empress Dowager protect the glory of the concubine and never abolish the position of the concubine." And if the concubine gives birth to the imperial heir in the future, what if the concubine's child is the crown prince? ”

Ai Duoer knew very well that if the Ai clan fell. Then the possibility of becoming the queen is even more slim. But she can pave the way for herself in the future. The emperor has great respect for the Empress Dowager, and as long as he obtains the protection of the Empress Dowager, he can also gain a foothold in the harem. Since you can't be a queen. It's better to set your sights on the position of the queen mother.

After the Empress Dowager took a deep look at Ai Duoer, she spoke: "Yes, the mourning family agreed to what you just said." ”

"The Empress Dowager, please forgive the rudeness of the concubines, please make an edict as proof." Ador knelt on the ground and said in a firm tone. This will determine the rest of her life, and she can't help but be cautious.

The Empress Dowager frowned. said to Aunt Hebi beside him: "Prepare pen and ink." ”

The Empress Dowager is a woman who knows how to weigh the pros and cons, whether it is the former dynasty or the harem. She has been left behind, so she can answer such a request from Ai Duoer. It must have been weighed up.

After covering the seal of the Empress Dowager in front of Ai Duoer, the Empress Dowager sealed the decree in the brocade box, locked it and gave the brocade box to Ai Duoer.

"The brocade box will be handed over to you for safekeeping, and when you need it in the future, the mourning family will hand over the key to you." As he spoke, he handed over the key to Aunt Hebi for safekeeping.

"Concubine Xie Empress Dowager is complete." Ador immediately kowtowed.

With the guarantee, Ai Duoer's scruples will be much smaller, and she immediately spoke: "Empress Dowager, the concubine left the palace yesterday and found that some border generals secretly entered Beijing. The concubines knew how powerful this was, and they didn't dare to guess at will, so they reported to the Queen Mother. ”

"General Shubian returns to Beijing?" There was only a flash of surprise on the Empress Dowager's face, which was quickly replaced by composure and calmness.

She looked at Ai Duo and said, "You saw them in Ai Mansion?" ”

Ai Duoer knew that she couldn't hide it from the Queen Mother, but she didn't want to increase her father's guilt, so she replied: "Back to the Empress Dowager, the concubines only saw these people in Ai's mansion, but this is not necessarily the concubine's father who summoned them back to Beijing, and asked the Queen Mother to give the concubine's father a chance for the sake of the concubine's father's hard work for many years." ”

"The mourning family can give him a chance, as long as he stays in his current position and stays in Aifu, then the mourning family can be this qiē I don't know. But if he dares to rebel, don't say it's the emperor, even the mourning family will not spare him first! ”

The Empress Dowager glanced at Ai Duoer and said, "If you want to avoid being affected right now, it's better not to step out of your Huaqing Palace." ”

After speaking, before Ai Duoer could react, the Empress Dowager immediately said to He Bi beside her: "He Bi, the concubine is unwell and needs to recuperate in the palace, and no one is allowed to disturb her without the will of the mourning family." In addition, a special person will be sent to wait. ”

Ai Duoer was stunned there, the Empress Dowager put herself under house arrest so quickly? Is she worried that one day her father will force the palace, and she will be in harmony with her father? Or are you going to threaten your daddy with yourself?

But no matter what the situation is, it is obvious that the Queen Mother's wishful thinking will not work. If I had intended to help my father, I wouldn't be here at this moment. If her father really cared about herself, then for her safety, she should be in Aifu by now.

Ai Duoer walked out of Ningshou Palace with some mockery on her face, she just waited and saw when this mess would come to an end.

After Ai Duoer left, the Empress Dowager immediately left the Buddhist hall, changed her clothes and dressed, and prepared to go to Changle Palace, she wanted to see how the emperor's situation was.

"The Queen Mother, but do you need to call the princess?" Aunt Hebi reminded on the side.

Yesterday, Prince Xuan was worried about the Empress Dowager's body, so she stayed overnight in Ningshou Palace and did not go back. Previously, Ai Guifei made a fuss at the gate of the palace, and Princess Xuan also heard some movements, and wanted to come to see the situation, but then she didn't go in after seeing Ai Guifei enter the Buddhist hall.

"Go and tell Sù Ayin, just say that the mourning family will go to see the emperor, if she wants to go, she will go together, if she is tired, she can rest in Ningshou Palace, or she can go back to the house, don't joke with her body, lest someone feel distressed when she gets it, and come to find trouble with the mourning family." The Empress Dowager glanced at the place where Prince Xuan lived, and said with a doting tone in her tone.

"Okay, the slave and maid know, and the slave and maid will go and ask the princess." Aunt Hebi hurriedly walked towards the residence of Prince and Princess Xuan.

After a while, Aunt Hebi replied: "Back to the Empress Dowager, the princess said that she entered the palace yesterday, and it stands to reason that she should go to the queen to sit there today, so let the empress dowager go to Changle Palace first, and the princess will go later." ”

"Well, she's always been a polite child, and since that's what she said, let it be up to her." The Empress Dowager said and walked out of Ningshou Palace.

All the way to the Yongning Hall of Changle Palace, a strong smell of medicine came to the face.

When Jian Ning saw the Empress Dowager coming, she naturally got up to greet her.

"What's going on with the emperor, the mourning family wants to see the emperor." The Empress Dowager did not look at Jian Ning, but directly set her eyes on the inner room, wanting to see the emperor as much as possible.

Jian Ning walked in with the Empress Dowager, and said lightly: "Back to the Empress Dowager, after two nights and one day of treatment, now the emperor's condition has improved, and there is no danger of life at all, but it may take a while to wake up." ”

"How long will it take? You should know that even if you mourn your family, you can't wait for this national event. The Empress Dowager looked at the emperor's face but was a little better than before, so she asked Jian Ning.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager was obviously suppressing a solemnity, Jian Ning tentatively asked, "Empress Dowager, is there something big happening to Yuan Chu?" ”

Although the emperor is unconscious now, there are still King Xiang and Prince Xuan in this country, and she doesn't know much about Prince Xuan, so she doesn't say much. But a Long Zening will not be much worse than Long Zeye in terms of ability. If it was an ordinary political matter, the two of them could handle it enough.

When the Empress Dowager saw Jian Ning ask this, her eyes suddenly looked at her with some fierceness, and she said coldly: "What you have to do now is to take care of the emperor and let him wake up as soon as possible, and it is not your turn to ask more about other things!" ”

"Yes, the concubine has exceeded the rules." Jian Ning immediately nodded and admitted her mistake.

After that, the Empress Dowager went to the imperial study, and Jian Ning really didn't ask any more about other things, and waited for Long Zeye to wake up wholeheartedly.

Time passed like this, and in order to reduce Qianlan's burden, Jian Ning deliberately found a few imperial doctors and asked them to learn from Qianlan the acupuncture points and strength of needles for the emperor, etc. In this way, several people can take turns to come, so that Qianlan will not be too tired alone.

In the past two days, with the announcement of the emperor's dragon body, those women in the harem wanted to come to Changle Palace from time to time to find out, but in the end they were all rejected by Jian Ning unceremoniously, so Jian Ning completely offended the women in the harem.
