"Ge Aiqing." Empress Dowager Li looked at Ge Shouli. spoken. "This is what you asked. The mourners can't say. ”

There were dozens of people present who didn't know the truth of the matter. was looking forward to the Empress Dowager Li to say it. But I didn't expect Empress Dowager Li to say such a thing. All of a sudden. Although no one said anything. Or make some act of excitement. But it can be felt. Above the entire court. It's all a breath of disappointment. In surrounding.

"Weichen still wants to ask the Queen Mother." And Ge Shouli. But it was as if there was no impact at all from this answer. Go on. He asked very blandly. "I don't know why the Queen Mother refused to tell Weichen about it. Which prince was implicated in this matter? It's hard to say. There really is some ulterior secret in this. Or maybe it's going to be a big problem to say it. ”

Ge Shouli. Once again, rely on the old and sell the old. With his own identity and the popularity and qualifications accumulated in the court for so many years. In a way that can be called a forced question. It's time to ask Empress Dowager Li. And obviously. His goal can be regarded as accomplished. Empress Dowager Li at this time. Even in the face of Ge Shouli, a veteran of the Three Dynasties who has always been crowned with the words "old and serious". I also hated it fiercely in my heart.

In fact, Empress Dowager Li would have this kind of thought. It's normal. Although said. She really wants to make an impression on everyone's minds right now. Let these ministers feel that the thing is done by Zhu Xuanqi, the king of Shuduan. But. If this kind of thing were to be said so clearly at this time. There will be trouble. This kind of naming and naming Zhu Xuanqi is named. Although it is said that her purpose was achieved. But the court will also be in turmoil because of this. And. If Zhu Xuanqi knew in advance that Empress Dowager Li had already thought about him. At that time, this side will not be ready. If there's any movement over there. That's a problem.

So now. Empress Dowager Li couldn't say that at all. Or rather. You can't tell everyone present. But Ge Shouli didn't know how to retreat. I didn't want to say anything after hearing the proposal. But he still had to ask. One comes. showed that Ge Shouli really wanted to know about this matter at the same time. But it also made Empress Dowager Li annoyed. But it's a partial one. For such a person as Ge Shouli. Empress Dowager Li couldn't scold him at all. This feeling. may be the first time since Empress Dowager Li took sole power. It made her feel very uncomfortable. But there is no way to resolve it.

"Nope. There is no ulterior secret about this. Please also ask Ge Aiqing not to misunderstand. Empress Dowager Li calmed down. That's what he said. "It's just like it was said before. The stakes are high. If it is revealed to you now, Aiqing. I'm afraid that the mourning family will cause a lot of trouble for no reason. When the time comes, if there is chaos. That's incredible. So. Ge Aiqing may understand the distress of the mourning family. ”

"This ......," Ge Shouli hesitated a little this time. To be honest, he really didn't expect it. Empress Dowager Li would actually speak like this. Said such words that were clearly explanatory and pleading. If you put it before. Just before Empress Dowager Li said this. Don't say it's Ge Shouli. In other words, no one would think that Empress Dowager Li would speak like this. But nowadays. She actually said so.

But that's not the point. Although I think it's weird. was even shocked that Empress Dowager Li would say such a thing. But nowadays, the focus is on what's going on. Where is there time to care about these things.

"But ......" with the look of disappointment of everyone. Empress Dowager Li suddenly spoke. "The mourning family thinks. What will happen to others. There is really no bottom in the heart of the mourning family. But for Ge Aiqing. But the mourning family is relieved. If Ge Aiqing really wants to know. After the retreat, come to Cining Palace. The mourners tell you alone. ”

Empress Dowager Li's words. If it sounds. It's really inappropriate. After all. To say that is to say that. Inside this court. Except for Ge Shouli and the people who already knew what was going on yesterday. It's all unreliable.

But. It sounds like it's treating people differently. Very unpleasant thing. But no one is ready to show any resentment about it now. It's simple to be willing. Because of the object that Empress Dowager Li said. It's Ge Shouli. If it's a different person. It will definitely cause dissatisfaction among everyone present. But what Empress Dowager Li said was Ge Shouli. Then there is no problem. There will never be a single person present who will say anything wrong with this view. Even if there is some resentment. It will only be kept in mind. Don't say it, you won't say it. There is no dissatisfaction on the face at all.

But. Empress Dowager Li said so. Ge Shouli had a different reaction. Of course, he wanted to know what was going on. And to this point. He wanted to know even more. But he didn't think about it. Empress Dowager Li would actually say that. This kind of thing that was told to him in private. The proposal itself should be said in private. But I didn't expect that Empress Dowager Li would say it so bluntly. And in front of so many people.

That's it. Ge Shouli couldn't answer. If yes. When the time comes, he will go to Cining Palace. Empress Dowager Li would definitely tell him. That's it. Ge Shouli was able to solve the doubts in his heart. But. Ge Shouli understood. I really can't do that. The reason is simple. It was the scene above the hall that frightened him.

If it is said. At that time, Empress Dowager Li told him what was going on. This informed person. There's one more. And when the time comes. The ministers who want to know what the hell is going on. Definitely going to be enthusiastic. No. There is a good chance that it will go up a lot. And now. There is one more person in the know. That means. will be surrounded by these people and intercept the people who ask questions. There's one more. And Ge Shouli didn't say anything just now. But he could also imagine that those people were being killed by so many ministers. I asked about it all day long. Whether it's upwards or at home. None of them can live in peace. Even if it's Ge Shouli. I also feel a little chill down my spine. After all. He's so old. He didn't want to take that share. And. Face those people. He didn't know how to turn them down.

Other words. In this way. Although Ge Shouli still really wanted to know what was going on. Even after Empress Dowager Li said so. He wanted to know even more. But when he thought about it, he would encounter the "tragic situation" that would happen to him. Ge Shouli stubbornly threw away this idea.

Curiosity is one thing. Being able to satisfy curiosity is naturally a good thing. What's more, he wanted to know the reason for this. It is also a responsibility to the imperial court. But if curiosity comes at a price. Even if it's Ge Shouli. But it's also a little unaffordable.

"Wechen. Forget it. Ge Shouli said.

"Oh." I heard Ge Shouli say that he didn't want to know. Empress Dowager Li felt curious. "Ge Aiqing, why is this. Just now, Aiqing asked the mourning family like this. It must be that Aiqing really wants to know what is going on. How nowadays. The mourning family said that they were going to tell Aiqing. Aiqing didn't want to. Empress Dowager Li finished saying this. Think about it for a moment. There was a look of "I understand" on his face. Apparently. She also thought of what Ge Shouli was afraid of.

"The Empress Dowager has already said it." Ge Shouli was very calm. doesn't seem to care about his own reversal. "Since the Queen Mother has said it. The stakes are high. If it is revealed, which prince is implicated. It's going to be messy. Compared to Wechen's curiosity. Wechen hopes that nothing will happen. So. Weichen still thanked the Queen Mother. That's all he said. Ge Shouli stood up and went back.

And so many ministers present. Seeing that Ge Shouli didn't want to know. couldn't help but show a disappointed expression. In fact, they also have the same idea as Ge Shouli. If Empress Dowager Li told Ge Shouli about this. They have another channel to ask the truth.

After all. Compared to a few other people who know the truth. Ge Shouli's behavior really made them want to ask him even more. Ge Shouli doesn't matter who it is. It's all relatively mild. And there was never a fight. Even now, he is the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Inspectorate. But the officials of the court were not afraid to touch him. Now Ge Shouli said he gave up. This is really a pity for many people.

And Ge Shouli gave up. But I don't think it's too much of a pity. Although he still didn't know what was going on. And he'd love to know, too. But nowadays. Through the words of the Empress Dowager Li. In fact, Ge Shouli had already heard something.

After he asked so much. even let go of what they usually upheld to ask questions. Empress Dowager Li didn't say anything. It can be seen that this matter is really very involved. Although I don't know which vassal king of the current dynasty was implicated. But it's definitely not a simple character.

And since Ge Shouli already knows this. He felt satisfied. And for today's Ge Shouli. Actually know or don't know. What difference can it make? He's ...... anyway

"Is there anyone else Aiqing wants to ask?" Empress Dowager Li saw Ge Shouli standing back. I couldn't help but ask.

Where else will anyone stand up? Even Ge Shouli returned in vain. Others don't feel like they're asking. You can ask what to ask. Now. Empress Dowager Li's words. But no one answered.

"That being the case. Then retreat. "Empress Dowager Li is not procrastinating. Say it directly.
