The Empress Dowager's voice was not loud, but it was still clearly spread in the quiet hall, and everyone was silent with bated breath, wanting to hear what kind of answer Zhu Qiyu could give.

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu's back couldn't help but feel cold. Huo Ran looked up and saw the Queen Mother's cold eyes with little expectation.

Zhu Qiyu remembers these eyes, since he was a child, every time he saw these eyes, he would feel uncomfortable, uncomfortable all over, and felt like something was nailed to his body. For as long as she can remember, Zhu Qiyu was reluctant to face these eyes, and when she grew up, she realized that she was strongly vigilant and wary of anything that would pose a threat to her brother, that is, Zhu Qizhen's crown prince.

When Zhu Qizhen became the son of the Great Tomorrow, her gaze changed a little, but that seemed to look at you, she could still see through the gaze of what you were thinking in your heart, and the expression that seemed to be always on top made Zhu Qiyu still very uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

And now, she still hasn't changed much, even that day, when she took out the edict written by Zhu Qizhen with her own hands, her expression didn't change much, as if everything was still under her control.

Yes, yes, everything was in her control at that time, first after everyone had not reacted, she first set up the crown prince, cut off the back road of the new emperor's bloodline first, and then took out the blood edict. At least, Zhu Qiyu feels that the truth must be so.

Or the Empress Dowager felt that after she ascended the throne, she would still be the submissive King of Servants, but she only guessed the beginning.

But he originally thought that he had broken free from the shackles and became a real dragon, the true son of the Ming Dynasty, when the world was in control. Zhu Qiyu sadly found that one by one, invisible forces, like dense chains and ropes, had been wrapped around his body at some point, making him feel as if he was trapped in a huge cage.

Here, in addition to the Emperor Taishang who is far away in Xuanfu is the biggest culprit, the civil and military officials in the palace, as well as the empress dowager in front of him, are also one of the culprits, although Zhu Qiyu doesn't understand how she did it, but, with instinct and intuition, Zhu Qiyu feels that it must have something to do with her, and even what happened to the Tai Palace, maybe she is the real mastermind behind the scenes.

The Empress Dowager also quietly looked at Zhu Qiyu, who had a complicated expression and flickering eyes, and waited patiently, at least, since she arrived here today, then, a moment earlier, a moment later, she knew the result, what was the difference, but this result must be satisfactory to her.

-------------------- "Queen Mother, Erchen thinks that the prince will be safer in Beijing, not to mention, Erchen will invite me to be the prince ......of the Ming Dynasty" Zhu Qiyu didn't dare to carry the courage to carry it with the Empress Dowager Sun, and finally lowered his eyes, a little unwilling, and a little struggling to argue for keeping the prince.

"Does the emperor mean that he is not willing to do his filial piety in front of the emperor's knees? ......" Empress Dowager Sun stroked the corners of her carefully trimmed eyebrows, and her mouth raised slightly, as if everything was still under control.

"Erchen finally feels that it is too much for the prince to leave Beijing, besides, the prince is young, it is difficult to go through the hardships of displacement, if there is a case, son, I am afraid that the queen mother will ......" Zhu Qiyu's head leaned lower. But the tone is a little tougher than the previous sentence.

"Yes, the prince is still young, how can the queen mother not know, but in this Forbidden City, can the prince be safe and sound?" The Empress Dowager's voice also cooled, and the hall that originally seemed a little cool was like a cold wind that would only appear in winter, stabbing everyone to their bones.

Yu Qian's brows jumped slightly, but he still didn't say a word, and that Wang Wen wanted to open his mouth to speak, but Fang Zi raised his head, but saw that Zheng Neng and several other nobles were cold, with a fierce gaze falling on him, Wang Wen's heart couldn't help but sudden, and Fang Wan's words were swallowed back into his throat.

Although the power of the Xungui group is now weak in the DPRK, they who hold the important military power of the Ming Dynasty are still a force that no one wants to ignore or offend, and more importantly, many of the Xungui group are relatives of the emperor.

Although Wang Wen is utilitarian, he is definitely not a fool, he remembered one thing, these nobles who are currently standing in the court, but there are many, Zhu Qizhen pulled down his face, flicked his three-inch incorruptible tongue, and persuaded Na Boyan Timur and the Taishi of Waspur to be first, so that they could escape from the life of a prisoner of war like hell and return to the Ming Dynasty to enjoy wealth again.

What's more, opening his mouth by himself is tantamount to refuting the face of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager really has to think about herself, even if the Son of Heaven defends herself, I am afraid that her position will not be stable.

After all, the Empress Dowager is not a kind person, can Wang Wenyan, who has been in the court for many years, not hear of it?

Zhu Qiyu's hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched into fists at this moment, and he took a few deep breaths to stabilize his emotions before he said slowly: "Queen Mother, what you said is really ...... Such a thing is not what the retainer wants, besides, the first evil has been punished, after this incident, everyone in the palace is terrified, how can anyone dare to come nonsense? ”

"Hehe, there are unpredictable circumstances in the sky...... Who knows. In this world, how many people don't want the prince to be safe and sound. The Empress Dowager smiled lightly and said, and the sound of the heavenly word bit hard and heavy, and the last sentence was like talking to herself, but her eyes had been nailed to Zhu Qiyu's face, this sentence was like a hammer smashing into Zhu Qiyu's heart, making his heart and liver almost stop.

Empress Dowager Sun slowly took another step forward, about half a foot away from Zhu Qiyu's ear, and said coldly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "The mourning family hopes that the emperor will agree to fulfill the reunion of their father and son, otherwise, the mourning family would rather go to the Zongmiao now and hang themselves in front of the spirit of Emperor Xuanzong, so as not to see the tragedy of fratricide." ”

"Queen Mother, ......" Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu's face couldn't help but change greatly, and his hands and feet were cold, and his eyes fell on the Empress Dowager with a meaningful smile. The decisiveness and coldness between her eyebrows and eyes seemed to be hinting to Zhu Qiyu that she definitely didn't mean to joke at all.
