In Zhou Xianyu's eyes, the power of the country and the world is not as important as Xiao Jinxuan.

Therefore, after coming down from Rabbit Ridge, Zhou Xianyu just went back to the Imperial Palace, bandaged the wounds, and brought some good gold sore medicine without too much rest, and was about to leave for Yangzhou.

Before leaving, he called Su Qibai Chu, who stayed in the palace, to the front, and asked them to find Wen Xin's bones and take them to Rabbit Ridge and the mountain behind the City God Temple for burial.

As for Zhou Xianyu, after explaining the matter, he immediately did not rest for a moment, and carried Xiao Jinxuan's last letter, and rode out of the gate of the imperial capital on horseback here.

It's just that he only has Xiao Jinxuan's approach in his heart, which may be quite touching in Meng Liangjun's opinion.

But for Empress Dowager Chen, who summoned Zhou Xianyu three times in a row and failed to summon the other party into the palace, all she had left in her heart was anger.

Especially looking at the eunuch who was kneeling in front of him, he trembled and said that Zhou Xianyu had ignored Yi's decree, and this would be out of Changping City.

felt more and more that this adopted son was disobedient and unfilial, and Empress Chen, who was incompatible with her, was even so angry that he even fell to the ground with the blue and white porcelain teacup in his hand.

"This week, Xianyu really doesn't take the mourning family seriously, this palace is the queen mother, and he is just a prince, and he dares to ignore my will. The mourning family really raised this little beast for more than ten years, since he only had the dead slut in his heart, the mourning family cut his royal prince, telling him to guard the other party's tombstone in Yangzhou, and never allowed to step into the capital for half a step. ”

Since Zhou Xianrui fell ill last year, Empress Chen began to take power, and the situation for most of the year has also made the queen mother's killing spirit more and more serious.

If something goes wrong, it will be a court rod at the lightest, and it will directly kill people at the worst.

Therefore, the current Empress Dowager Chen is not the most virtuous and virtuous concubine in the harem back then.

The current people in the Sixth Palace, when they talk about Empress Dowager Chen, their faces are pale with fright, and they are terrified all day long.

I'm afraid that one day I don't like the eyes of this queen mother, and I will be killed.

And as soon as she heard that the Empress Dowager Chen was going to cut power to Zhou Xianyu, and she would have already returned to the palace to return to the other party, Guo Yi, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but immediately dissuade:

"The Queen Mother was angry, and the Prince ignored Yi's will, although it was indeed unfilial. But he is the prince's honor, and if he is unwilling to obey the other wills of His Majesty, except for the holy decree of His Majesty with a jade seal, the prince has the right to do so. And now that the abolished concubine Xiao has been removed, according to Weichen's meaning, the prince is now in a rage, we should avoid its edge and appease the other party first. Otherwise, once you are in a hurry, the prince is the one who holds the power of the army, and once he launches a mutiny, it must not be the result you want to see. ”

In the past half a year, because there is no one to check and balance, Zhou Xianchen is too benevolent and cowardly.

That's why she called this queen mother, who was too blind to no one, and felt that the entire court situation was already in her hands, and whoever dared to disagree would kill it directly.

But now that she is reminded by Guo Yi, even if Empress Chen doesn't want to admit it, deep down, she is really afraid of the 50,000 troops in the Beijing military camp and Zhou Xianyu's use of soldiers like a god.

Therefore, she couldn't bear this evil breath and had to endure it, and she didn't dare to touch Zhou Xianyu at all.

And this Xiangping, who was sitting next to Empress Chen, like Ji Lingfeng, recognized Guo Yi as Xiao Jinxuan's person, so she couldn't help but sneer and said:

"Lord Guo's words seem to be for the sake of the queen mother, but in fact, I am afraid that he wants to protect my seventh brother. At the beginning, he said that he would go out of Beijing with Seventh Brother in order to join forces with the people we sent inside and outside. But what about the actual situation, it was you who helped Brother Qi get rid of a lot of our manpower. So don't pretend to be loyal here, Seventh Brother can't get rid of it now, but according to the palace residence, the first person who should be killed is you Guo Yi. ”

Because Zhou Xianyu stayed by the Xizi River for ten days to search for Xiao Jinxuan's traces, Ji Lingfeng returned to Beijing one step ahead of them.

Then he told the Empress Dowager Chen exactly what happened on the Xizi Cliff and the situation along the way.

According to Ji Lingfeng's meaning, Guo Yi is the inner ghost who is in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and the other party's real allegiance is Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianyu, and advises Empress Chen that he must not keep this person.

But Guo Yi can be a man on weekdays, and he understands the truth that a husband can bend and stretch, so Empress Chen is quite comfortable with him.

Therefore, Xiang Ping will mention the matter of killing the other party again, but the Empress Dowager Chen's eyes flashed hesitation, and she did not give an order immediately.

Seeing this, Guo Yi knew that his life and death were all at this moment.

So I saw that he not only immediately knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager Chen, but also shed tears from his eyes with emotion, and complained in a choked voice:

"The Queen Mother Mingjian, Weichen doesn't know which villain is so slanderous of me Guo Yi. I**** follow the king's side, if I blindly cross my eyebrows and don't pretend to show favor to the other party, how can I gain his trust. And in the end, on the Xizi Cliff, Ji Dugong couldn't take down the prince with hundreds of soldiers, and it was me Guo Yi who personally pushed Xiao Jinxuan into the river below the cliff. If I really have a different heart for the Queen Mother, why do I do it? At all, there are people who are not doing well, and now they want to grab credit, which is really shameless. ”

Guo Yi said this clearly, everyone could hear it, the shameless person he was talking about was Ji Lingfeng.

As soon as she heard this, Ji Lingfeng, who was also standing in the hall, immediately turned gloomy, and Xiangping saw that her beloved was counted down like this, and she immediately slapped the table and stood up.

not only stretched out his hand to point at Guo Yi, but also scolded with resentment in his eyes:

"Guo Yi, you are too presumptuous, Ling Feng is bothering to plan for the sake of the queen mother, before and after the saddle. How long have you been loyal, and now you dare to insinuate in front of this princess that I am not from the Golden Jubilee Palace, I think you really don't want to live. ”

Looking at Xiangping's murderous appearance, Empress Chen, who has always loved this daughter, flashed dislike in her eyes this time, and said in an unhappy tone:

"Okay Xiangping, who is the queen mother is still here, you don't have to speak. Moreover, Guo Yi said that Xiao Jinxuan was pushed down the Xizi Cliff by himself, why didn't you report this matter to the palace Ji Lingfeng. It seems that what Guo Yi said may not be completely wrong, at least he killed Xiao Jinxuan's slut for the mourning family, so why should I doubt his loyalty. ”

Looking at the Empress Dowager Chen in astonishment, Xiangping really didn't expect that this queen mother didn't help her, but would rather defend Guo Yi.

For a while, the expression on Xiangping's face was extremely ugly, after all, she always felt in her heart that the Empress Dowager Chen could have today, and it was all the support of her and Ji Lingfeng.

But now that the queen mother is in power, she is beginning to be a little difficult to control, which Xiangping has long discovered, and because he has been haunted for a long time.

But just as Xiangping was about to say something to argue, Ji Lingfeng on the side secretly pulled down her sleeve, and stood up first and said:

"The lesson of the Queen Mother is that this matter was indeed Ling Feng's negligence at the time, and now that I have heard Lord Guo's words, I also feel that I am wrong to blame the loyalty of the adult. And now is indeed not the best time to get rid of the royal prince, and we can't help him if he doesn't take over his military power. However, when the princess marries into the Shuai Mansion under the auspicious day of the zodiac in October, and the Empress Dowager of the Xiao family is in control, she can take action against the king. ”

When this royal princess gets married, she naturally has to choose an auspicious day for the zodiac according to her birthday.

According to Qin Tianjian's deduction, Xiangping's wedding to Xiao Yijun in October this year is the best day, so there is still more than half a year to go.

As soon as Ling Feng took the initiative to soften this season, the breath in Empress Dowager Chen's heart became much smoother.

Although she was now afraid of Xiangping interfering with her power, the thought of using this daughter to control the Xiao family's military power, Empress Chen's face couldn't help but show a loving smile immediately.

"Okay Xiang'er, you are a princess to be married, don't worry about the affairs of the previous dynasty. On weekdays, in the palace, you choose the hairpin style and dowry at the wedding. At that time, as long as you like it, the queen mother will prepare it for you. Now you and Ling Feng will go out first, Guo Shangshu and I still have important matters to discuss, so I won't keep you. ”

I heard that although Empress Dowager Chen's tone was good, she actually issued an expulsion order, and the affairs of the court and politics obviously did not intend to involve her.

Xiangping, who is also extremely enthusiastic about power, and is now almost in the realm of demons, his face turned faintly blue with anger, but in the end he was forcibly pulled out by Ji Lingfeng.

As soon as he left Yanqing Palace, after there was no one around, the anger in Xiangping's heart completely exploded.

"Now that the queen mother is in power, she has to cross the river and tear down the bridge. She didn't want to think about how she would be able to fight the imperial brother and Xiao Jinxuan without you and me. And Ling Feng, too, why don't you tell me to reason with the queen mother face to face, you can bear this breath, this princess can't stand this squeeze. ”

Facing Xiangping's indignation, Ji Lingfeng smiled softly.

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, you are angry, the Queen Mother's status is precious, but she has no far-sighted plan and is not afraid at all. Although Xiao Jinxuan is dead now, there is a more difficult Zhou Xianyu who is still alive, so we still need to use the Queen Mother to compete with the other party, so that we can reap the benefits of the fisherman. If you anger the Queen Mother now, it will be detrimental to our next plans. ”

Ji Lingfeng's words were reasonable, so after listening to it, Xiangping thought about it carefully, and felt that it was indeed the case, so the anger slowly calmed down.

But then she frowned again, and said worriedly:

"My seventh brother is strong in martial arts, and he has been poisoning and assassinating these tricks for many years, but it is useless for him. Although the queen mother can suppress the other party with her identity, it is too difficult to get rid of Zhou Xianyu, according to Princess Ben. ”

After hearing this, Ji Lingfeng chuckled, and then his face was full of himself, and he said quite mysteriously:

"This person must have weaknesses in the world, Zhou Xianrui died of suspicion, and the death of the prince is Xiao Jinxuan. Especially now that Xiao Jinxuan is dead, if Zhou Xianyu meets a woman who is very similar to the other party's personality habits, and even the tone of her voice. Xiang'er, your seventh brother is suffering from lovesickness, if you get the company of such a spiritual sustenance beauty, guess whether he will be tempted. ”
