Chapter 259: Clean up the mess

Empress Dowager Li said triumphantly, while constantly approaching Shangguan Candle's side, raising her hand to elegantly wipe away the tears on her face.

"Unexpectedly, it turned out that it was not you who took refuge in the emperor, it was the emperor who took refuge in you, the mourning family killed your family, you were resentful, and you wanted to find the mourning family to take revenge, but it was too weak, so I hit the idea on the emperor, and used my wisdom to help the emperor step by step from a puppet to an opponent who can compete with the mourning family."

"I have to say, the mourning family really admires, but unfortunately, the emperor doesn't seem to be able to control it if you want to, today he dares to raise a sword for a lowly palace maid and angrily point at the mourning family, waving a knife at each other, tomorrow, he can take your life for that palace maid ......."

"So, what do you want to say, Queen Mother?"

Shangguan Candle raised his eyes to look at Empress Dowager Li, although the smile on his face was warm, but the eyes looking at Empress Dowager Li were extremely cold, almost piercing.

If Wang Rong or Xiao Dezi were here, seeing Shangguan Candle's expression at the moment, they would definitely quickly hint to the other party not to say anything more, otherwise, the end would be very miserable.

Because of this, the expression only appeared twice on Shangguan Candle's face, and the first time it appeared, the person who offended him probably didn't want to touch him, and the second time it appeared, the frightened eyes of the other party before he died said it all.

Although Shangguan Candle's eyes were terrifying and scary, Empress Dowager Li was in a state of excitement at the moment, thinking that she could take down the emperor and Shangguan Candle in one fell swoop today, she didn't care about anything else, and only threw herself into the joy of imminent success.

"What does the mourning family want to say, doesn't Grandpa Candle understand? It's okay if you don't understand, you'll understand later. ”

After speaking, Empress Dowager Li turned around cleanly, walked a few steps forward with her back to Shangguan Candle, and commanded the eunuch who was standing beside her.

"Someone, spread the will of the mourning family, go and transfer the city defense battalion, just say that there is a rebellion in the palace, and the descendants of the rebellious ministers and thieves hide incognito in the palace, and put an ecstasy spell on Your Majesty, control Your Majesty to kill the mourning family, let them hurry up and come to the rescue!"

"Yes, the minion will go."

A smile of successful conspiracy flashed on the face of the eunuch who received the will, and then he replied excitedly, got up and walked out quickly.

Seeing this, Shangguan Candle's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly gave a signal to the commander of the Praetorian Guard on the side, and then, the eunuch who was about to deliver the decree was stopped.

"What do you want to do? Do you really think that the mourning family is dead, and you feel that the palace has been controlled by you, and you want to end the mourning family without doing anything? ”

Seeing that her own people were stopped, Empress Dowager Li, who had already been on fire today, couldn't hold back any longer, and quickly turned around and angrily pointed at Shangguan Candle and shouted angrily.

In this regard, Shangguan Candle stood in place, lifted his eyelids idly, and said coolly.

"What's the Queen Mother's hurry? My hole cards haven't been shown yet, and the Queen Mother can't wait to do it, and the appearance is inevitably ugly. ”

"Shangguan Candle, what do you mean?"

Empress Dowager Li looked at Shangguan Candle in confusion and asked.

Hearing this, Shangguan Candle raised his eyes and casually swept the stunned eunuchs and palace maids left and right.

"The Queen Mother should let the idlers and others step down, otherwise, you shouldn't want to be heard next."

"What tricks are you playing?" Empress Dowager Li continued to ask.

"Since the Queen Mother doesn't want to listen to my opinion, then, I'll speak freely."

"During the Qingping period of Daning, when the first emperor was still reigning, on the day of the heavy snow on the winter solstice, in the Changchun Palace, at that time, she was still the queen's queen ......mother."

"Shut up!"

Before Shangguan Candle finished speaking, he was interrupted by the nervous and shrill voice of Empress Dowager Li, whose face had changed greatly.

"Stand down! All to the mourning family to retreat! ”

In this regard, Shangguan Candle's expression remained unchanged, and the ridicule in his eyes became more and more intense.

"Why bother? Wouldn't it be nice to listen to my advice sooner? ”

"Count you ruthless!"

Empress Dowager Li said viciously, her eyes were like knives, constantly stabbing like Shangguan candles.

"Each other! Each other! Shangguan Candle smiled coldly.

"What exactly do you want?"

Unable to wait for the surrounding palace people to retreat, Empress Dowager Li couldn't wait to hurriedly approach Shangguan Candle, and as she approached, she lowered her voice and gritted her teeth and asked.

"It's very simple, in exchange, use today's things to offset, as long as you don't pursue today's things, these things, I dare to promise, there will be no third know."

In the face of Empress Dowager Li's angry rhetorical question, Shangguan Candle still looked indifferent, and put forward conditions without pain.

"What if the mourners don't agree?"

Shangguan Candle glanced at Empress Dowager Li and said lightly.

"You'll say yes."

"Are you confident that the mourning family will definitely agree?"

Empress Dowager Li hated Shangguan Candle's confident appearance, as if everything was in his calculations, and there was not too much bias, and what she hated most was that others pressed her everywhere, and it just so happened that Shangguan Candle was such an existence.

"It's not self-confidence, it's determination."

"Then you are wrong, the mourning family will not agree."

"No, you will definitely agree, you are a person who values reputation, you have been in business for so many years, and you finally got the current reputation and momentum, you will not let all this be ruined."

Shangguan Candle said expressionlessly, although it was an extremely ordinary word, but when it fell on the ears of Empress Dowager Li, it was like a life talisman.

"Shangguan Candle, you are really afraid that the mourning family will not make it, and before you can spread these things, you will die in the hands of the mourning family, so why do you think the mourning family should promise you?"

Empress Dowager Li stared at Shangguan Candle with a pair of fierce eyes, and the corners of her mouth were pursed with disdain.

In this regard, Shangguan Candle laughed sarcastically and said: "I know that the Queen Mother has long been ambushing the top masters around the Imperial Garden, as long as you give an order, I will definitely die." ”

"But you seem to have forgotten one thing, it doesn't matter if I'm dead, my subordinates can't get a signal for half a pillar of incense, and your unsightly things won't have to wait until tomorrow to spread all over the streets and alleys of Daning, even if you die, I will ruin your reputation."

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Li didn't come up in one breath, and was almost angry to death, obviously she was the one standing above, but she was changed by a Feng Xiyan and a Shangguan Candle, and the position fell off in an instant.

"Today's events can indeed put Your Majesty and I in a predicament, but we can't be cleaned up at one time, so, Niangniang, instead of making a mess, everyone can't get any benefits, so let's take a step back and make a truce for the time being, anyway, maybe next time you can wipe us out."

Shangguan Candle calmly analyzed the pros and cons of this matter to Empress Dowager Li, as if he was not the opposite of Empress Dowager Li, but the most powerful adviser by her side.

Empress Dowager Li was in a very complicated mood, obviously she had already prepared everything, just waiting to clean up the emperor, but she didn't expect that she was still a bad move, so that Shangguan Candle could rush back in time.
