The Queen Mother was also stunned, she didn't expect that Shangguan Candle would dare to disobey her in public.

After coming back to her senses, the hatred in Empress Dowager Li's heart, since she took power, no eunuch dared to refute and sarcasm her so much in front of so many people.

"Presumptuous, what are you? Dare to speak out in front of the mourning family? Your Majesty is stubborn, the mourning family just said a few words to Your Majesty, do you need to stand up here for Your Majesty? ”

Empress Dowager Li was furious, stood up from the chair with a "brush", and pointed at Shangguan Candle's nose through the beaded curtain and scolded angrily.

was scolded angrily by Empress Dowager Li's nose, Shangguan Candle was not shocked, nor did he have any other emotions, he only raised his eyes lightly, his face was calm, and he respectfully saluted Empress Dowager Li.

"The lesson of the Queen Mother is that it is the slave who has crossed the distance, and she asks the mother to forgive her sins."

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Li's eyes quickly flashed a moment of shrewdness, she looked coldly at Shangguan Candle who was bowed down and succumbed to her obscenity, and secretly thought, she wanted to deal with this Shangguan Candle for a day or two, why not take advantage of today's opportunity to directly clean him up.

Empress Dowager Li, who had made up her mind, was about to speak, when a voice suddenly appeared, interrupting what she was about to speak.

"The Empress Dowager Qi, just a slave, not worth your anger, why bother with his general knowledge, Weichen thinks, Your Majesty is still young, the heart is still unstable, before proposed to learn to deal with the government independently, although this is a good thing, but too child's play, Weichen thinks, or by the mother to continue to assist, until His Majesty can handle the government independently."

Li Mao walked from the ministers to the center of the Jinluan Palace, stood in the middle of the dragon chair, and said expressionlessly in the direction of the Empress Dowager Li.

Shangguan Candle, who was standing on the side, glanced at Li Mao casually, and then breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly.

"The minister seconded the proposal, and the minister also felt that what General Li said was extremely true, His Majesty was still young and could not afford to take on the big responsibility, and the minister thought that the matter of delegating power should be discussed only when His Majesty was older."

Seeing Li Mao speaking for the Queen Mother, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly walked out of the crowd when she saw the stitches, echoing Li Mao's intentions and solving the problem of being seized by Fengxiyan for the Empress Dowager Li.

The angry Empress Dowager Li listened to the singing and harmony of the two people in the hall, and the anger disappeared in an instant, leaving a heart full of pride, sure enough, these henchmen did not disappoint her.

Of course, what surprised her even more was that Li Mao took the initiative to stand up for her, and he was accusing the little emperor of his absurdity, and even more bluntly proposed not to let go of power.

There is a reason why Empress Dowager Li is so surprised, before this, she didn't win over Li Mao openly and secretly, but this person didn't eat oil and salt, and didn't pay attention to the olive branch she threw out.

rejected her wooing several times, but she didn't expect that at this time, she would stand on her side in public, which made her forget about offending her before Shangguan Candle.

"Two Aiqing, the mourning family knows what you mean, knows that you are thinking about your majesty, and even more so for the sake of Daning's country, but your majesty is the emperor after all, and this country will be returned to your majesty sooner or later.

Empress Dowager Li said in a wry manner.

Shangguan Candle, who lowered his head, pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a sarcastic smile, and then quickly retreated, looked up at Li Mao under the hall, and was about to retract his gaze, when the afterglow suddenly swept to the outside of the Jinluan Palace, a familiar palace maid figure.

He frowned slightly, groaned slightly, and then retreated very naturally.

This palace maid is the person he arranged to take care of her by Feng Xiyan's side, and now that this person suddenly appears here, it can only show one problem, that is, something happened to Feng Xiyan.

Seeing Shangguan Candle come out, the palace maid was about to open her mouth to say goodbye, but was stopped by Shangguan Candle raising her hand, she immediately understood that she would keep silent, and followed Shangguan Candle to the corner on the side.

As soon as he arrived at the corner, as soon as Shangguan Zhu turned around, the palace maid who followed him couldn't wait to say goodbye. "Master Qiqi, something is wrong, Your Majesty has fled."

Hearing this, Shangguan Candle was stunned, for a long time, his black eyes moved in his sockets, and finally calmed down, and slowly spit out a few words.

"When?"

"Back to the master, the slave doesn't know, it was early this morning, the prince took us to invite His Majesty to the court, and when we came to the dragon bed, we found that Your Majesty was not there at all, and the bedding was neatly stacked on the dragon bed."

The palace maid who came to pay the obeisance shook her head and said.

Shangguan Candle closed his eyes, frowned, and then commanded in a low voice, "Go back and tell Wang Rong, let him quickly block the entire Heart Cultivation Palace, and no one is allowed to go out at will, and invite Zhang Yuanzheng of the Tai Hospital to come over, just say that Your Majesty is infected with the plague, except for Zhang Yuanzheng, no one is allowed to approach." ”

"Yes, slave understands." The palace maid who came to pay the salute to Shangguan Candle, and then walked away quickly.

At this time, in the palace, the Queen Mother was full of joy and staged a drama with Li Mao and his own Zhao Taifu to capture the old man.

"The Queen Mother, the old minister knows that you are a mother's heart, but there have always been loving mothers who have lost children, Your Majesty is not a child of ordinary people's families, his birth is destined for him not to have pampering, let alone make mistakes, so the old minister also thinks that it is better to ask Niangniang to continue to be in power, and when Your Majesty grows up, it is not too late for you to return."

Someone started up, and with the same purpose as him, Mrs. Zhao was finally no longer lonely, and he was even more confident than before, of course, I don't know if it was because Feng Xiyan was not there.

Li Mao, who was beside Mrs. Zhao, couldn't stop sneering in his heart, Mrs. Zhao, the old fox, really saw the opportunity to act, and wanted to take this opportunity to completely pull him into the camp of the Queen Mother, but it also depended on whether he was willing or not?

"Queen Mother, the meaning of Weichen has been conveyed, as for whether you have other considerations, the minister has no right to know, but, please think twice, after all, Your Majesty can't support the world of the Daning Dynasty for the time being."

After speaking, Li Mao bowed his hand to the Empress Dowager Li behind the bead curtain, and then quickly retreated into the crowd.

In this way, Mrs. Zhao was left alone in the middle of the Jinluan Palace, not to retreat, not to continue, so he could only stay in place with an embarrassed face, helpless.

"Li Aiqing's meaning, the mourning family understands, since the mourning family promised His Majesty that day, they can't be untrustworthy, this matter, the mourning family will discuss this matter with Your Majesty, and then decide how to deal with it."

Although Mrs. Zhao's wooing was too obvious, causing Li Mao's reaction to be too great, Empress Dowager Li was already very satisfied, and General Li, who was not in the oil and salt, had already revealed an important message to others, that is, he had plans to stand on her side.
