Zhou Xianchen has always been benevolent, and he rarely fights fiercely in everything.

Therefore, he will no longer bow to the Empress Dowager Chen because of filial piety, but will be more like the king of a country, and will not allow others to trample on the momentum of the imperial power and national law.

Not only did Empress Dowager Chen feel uncomfortable, but she was on the spot, and she even forgot to get angry.

Even Zhou Xianyu, who has always loved Zhou Xianchen's younger brother, looked at each other in surprise, but a look of relief flashed in his eyes.

Obviously, for Zhou Xianyu, who has always advocated that Zhou Xianchen must be pro-government, this ninth brother can become assertive and not blindly benevolent, which is indeed a great thing in itself.

And Zhou Xianchen, who also spoke completely today, didn't care about whether he would anger the Empress Dowager Chen, and whether this biological mother would be angry.

Zhou Xianchen, who had also suppressed a lot of words in his heart, had long wanted to vomit quickly, and after taking a deep breath, seeing that the hall was silent, he couldn't help but continue with what he had just said:

"The queen mother has always known that she is not the material to be the emperor, and you pushed the emperor to sit on this dragon chair at the beginning. But no matter what, after all, now I am the king of a country in the Great Zhou. Even if you are the queen mother, you cannot condone your relatives to seize power and ignore the law of the country. If the queen mother is alive, or the fifth brother is the emperor, the emperor really wants to know, will you still be so insistent on defending Chen Shuhang. ”

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Chen was speechless, and she didn't know how to answer.

Because she knows better than anyone else in her heart, whether it is the reign of Emperor Ming or the reign of Zhou Xianrui.

If the Chen family does not have the talent to govern the country, they will definitely not be named high-ranking officials and enjoy the benefits of the imperial court.

Looking at the little son who was standing in the hall, looking at her with a sad face, and already crying to tears, Empress Dowager Chen had to admit it.

The main reason why she has unscrupulously scolded this emperor's son for many years is also because she has never regarded the other party as the king of a country.

I even felt in my heart that this son could think of the emperor supreme, and she sent it to the other party with one hand, and with this alone, Zhou Xianchen should not disobey her words.

Looking at Zhou Xianchen, who is growing up day by day and is already seventeen years old, the other party did not evade and endure this time, but bluntly told the words in person, which made the Empress Dowager Chen fall into contemplation.

For the first time, I felt that I was a biological mother, and it did seem that it was a bit excessive.

And Xiao Jinxuan, who was already standing side by side with Zhou Xianyu, she had been silently watching Empress Dowager Chen's expression and demeanor.

Xiao Jinxuan can see the other party's remorse and self-blame clearly, thinking of the dignified and decent words and deeds when the Empress Dowager Chen was still a good concubine.

And how was this bewitched by Xiangping and Ji Lingfeng, and the other party became more and more obsessed with power.

Xiao Jinxuan suddenly sighed that the world is impermanent, and the human heart is really the most difficult thing to figure out.

sighed lightly, and then saw Xiao Jinxuan look at Zhou Xianyu and said:

"Xianyu, take the Nine Emperor Brothers down to rest, I have something I want to talk to the Queen Mother alone, can you all go out."

Now she doesn't know Xiao Jinxuan's true identity, when she heard this, she couldn't understand what the princess of Beirong in front of her could tell her.

Seeing that Zhou Xianyu did not raise any objections, he was very cooperative and immediately took Zhou Xianchen out.

Empress Dowager Chen, who had a full view of this scene, looked at the empty hall without people, and suddenly smiled inexplicably.

"Princess Changde, the mourning family really has to say a word of admiration for you. Xianyu's child grew up next to the Queen Mother, and he only liked one person in so many years, and the mourning family also thought that after the death of that woman, Xianyu couldn't get out of this knot in his life. But now he not only marries you as a concubine, but also obeys your words. But think about it, you alone mobilized 200,000 soldiers and horses from Beirong for the other party, even if the emperor is ruthless to you, for the sake of military power, you must also be affectionate to you. But the mourning family might as well tell you that Zhou Xianyu can't pretend to be you in his heart, he is just using you. ”

The meaning of sowing discord in Empress Dowager Chen's words is very obvious, and there is not even the slightest concealment.

It's just that after Xiao Jinxuan listened, not only didn't she care, but Liu Ye raised her eyebrows and murmured softly:

"I naturally know that Xianyu will not be emotionally attached to Changde, but do you know that the so-called Changde is Jinxuan, and I just returned to Da Zhou as the princess of Beirong. It's just to take revenge on those of you who framed me in the past, maybe my current face, even if I say the Queen Mother, I will definitely not believe it, then I don't recommend mentioning a few things to prove my identity. ”

Xiao Jinxuan now wants to be frank with Empress Dowager Chen, and she is not doing this because the enemy is too angry when she meets, so she loses her reason and makes an impulsive decision.

Because Xiao Jinxuan has always been very clear that the current situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty seems to be the struggle between the Empress Dowager Chen and Zhou Xianyu, but in fact, it is true that the other party is the Empress Dowager, but she has insufficient planning, and she has no ability to stabilize power.

Therefore, to be precise, Empress Dowager Chen is nominally Ji Lingfeng's master, but she is actually just a pawn of the other party to gain power.

is the so-called seven inches of fighting snakes, if the Queen Mother's party is compared to a poisonous snake, then the seven inches on this snake are not the noble Empress Dowager Chen, nor is it the ruthless Xiangping, but Ji Lingfeng who is hidden behind these two people and manipulates the overall situation.

As long as this Grand Governor of Ji is captured, Xiao Jinxuan believes that it will not be long before the Queen Mother's party will collapse and break itself.

Therefore, the relationship between Ji Lingfeng and Xiangping is divided, so that even if they are willing to join forces with each other, they will still have knots in their hearts, except that they are not as unbreakable as in the past.

Xiao Jinxuan felt that it was time for Empress Chen's trust in Ji Lingfeng to be cut off.

Therefore, ignoring the stunned face of Empress Dowager Chen, who had already stood up in shock, Xiao Jinxuan continued unhurriedly:

"Queen Mother, although Jinxuan's appearance has changed, presumably Niangniang should not have forgotten it, and Xue Yi immediately abolished Xue Yi to give you a trick and imprison you in Yanqing Palace, it was Jinxuan who risked her life to break into the palace to save her. Later, in order to contain Xue Yi, it was still me Xiao Jinxuan who entered the palace as a concubine, and dealt with the other party to keep your identity as the queen mother of the West Palace from being shaken. But in the end, how did you treat me, a life-saving benefactor, first secretly suppressed and excluded me, and then even used my Beirong life experience to make a big fuss, and told Emperor Qi several times that he wanted to kill me. In fact, Niangniang has ever thought that if you hadn't single-handedly fueled the troubles, Zhou Xianrui would not have died early at all, and Da Zhou would not be in the current situation of internal and external troubles. Concubine Liang, have you ever thought about it, a hundred years later, on the day when Quanxia meets His Majesty Emperor Ming, you still have the face to meet each other, and can the ancestors of the Zhou royal family let you go. ”

When Xiao Jinxuan was no longer called the queen mother, she instead called the other party a good concubine.

has always been sealed in the heart of the Empress Dowager Chen, and it is difficult to suppress all kinds of past events that she doesn't want to recall.

Thinking of Emperor Ming, Empress Dowager Chen was afraid of guilt in her heart, under this kind of stimulation.

Empress Dowager Chen, who was not a deep-minded person, couldn't be happy and angry at all, but immediately pointed at Xiao Jinxuan in a panic and said:

"Sure enough, it's you, Xiao Jinxuan, you really didn't die. But why do you dare to come back now that you poisoned my son? Da Zhou's current situation is not the fault of the mourning family, it is all caused by you. If it weren't for you and Rui'er to separate themselves from morality and kill him in anger, Xianchen would not need to ascend the throne and become emperor. I was just worried that the child was young, so I listened to the government. So these root causes are all caused by you, Xiao Jinxuan, you don't want to put the responsibility on the mourning family. ”

Empress Dowager Chen was hysterical and shouted loudly in denial, but Xiao Jinxuan just looked at the other party quietly and didn't argue.

After all, she knows very well that only people who are completely panicked will try to hide their inner panic with loud shouts and fierce reactions like Empress Dowager Chen is doing now.

Therefore, let the Empress Dowager Chen criticize her, seeing that the other party was tired of shouting, and her emotions were not so excited, Xiao Jinxuan smiled gently and said leisurely:

"If Concubine Liang is tired, sit down and rest and drink tea. Jinxuan will call you a good concubine, because she feels that in your heart, there may still be a trace of virtue and kindness, and you are not completely at the mercy of power. And now it seems that what Jinxuan expected was not wrong, Niangniang will be anxious to put the blame on me, in other words, you are ashamed in your heart, and you are even more uneasy about what you have done, so you want to escape. Since Niangniang is still conscience-free, Jinxuan is also willing to open up with you to talk about Emperor Qi's death four years ago. ”

After saying this, Xiao Jinxuan sat back in the chair first, and then said with a flash of remembrance in her eyes:

"Niangniang, do you still remember Imperial Doctor Liang, who has been following you for many years, in fact, when you fed Emperor Qi the medicine of the tiger and wolf, and forcibly woke up the other party, so that on the pretext of this son's personal release of power, you can press my father-in-law, King Yongchang, so as to satisfy your power in power. Because Imperial Doctor Liang was uneasy and had known me for many years, he had already told me all the good things that Niangniang had done before he was framed for assassinating Emperor Qi. And Concubine Liang, you can know that in addition to the matter of the medicine of the tiger and wolf, Imperial Doctor Liang also said that Emperor Qi's refreshments and meals at that time were all added to the ingredients that were harmful to the lungs and caused the onset of old diseases. It is not surprising that he is the imperial doctor who will see through it, and this is the real reason why Xiangping can't spare the other party's life. ”

Secretly gave the medicine of the tiger and wolf to her biological son, although it has been several years, but now that it is mentioned, Empress Dowager Chen's face is still pale, and the feeling of guilt and regret is also spreading in her heart.

And I heard that in addition to the medicine of the tiger and wolf, Zhou Xianrui even mistakenly ingested things that were not good for the body, although the Empress Dowager Chen was not a calculating person, but she was really useless.

As soon as Xiao Jinxuan mentioned the death of Imperial Doctor Liang and was also associated with Xiangping, the words killing people and killing people immediately appeared in her mind.

It was only this idea that came out, and Empress Chen shook her head again and again in fright, and said in disbelief:

"Xiao Jinxuan, don't slander Xiang'er here, Xianrui is her own brother, could it be that you want to tell me. Xiangping, who is a younger sister, killed his own eldest brother with his own hands. They are brothers and sisters, they are all the blood and blood born of the mourning family's October pregnancy, Xiangping has no reason to assassinate Xianrui, you don't want to provoke discord between our mother and daughter, I will definitely not fall for it. ”
