Empress Dowager Dong slowly walked into the main hall, and next to her was Liu Xie. The latter held the hand of the Empress Dowager Dong tightly, and her eyes fell on the body of Empress He at the head of the hall from time to time, and every time she saw it, there was a corresponding panic. If you have to say that Liu Xie has a nightmare in his heart, then it is no one else, it is his nominal queen mother, who is also the woman who killed his mother, Queen He.

Sensing the unrest in her grandson's heart, Empress Dowager Dong took Liu Xie's hand and shook it vigorously, and the trembling of the other pair of small hands in her palm became more and more slight, until it finally disappeared completely. She walked very steadily every step, although she was old, she was well maintained in the palace, and she did not tremble like the old man outside the palace.

Empress Dowager Dong stepped into the main hall and continued to move forward, towards the position in the center of the main hall, which represented the supreme position of the entire empire. There was another woman, another boy, all of them next to the throne, first at the very center of the entire empire, at the highest position.

Step by step, the entire hall was so quiet that all the ministers could clearly hear the heartbeat from the depths of their hearts. They were silent, quietly watching the Empress Dowager Dong and the prince walk in front of them, and slowly left their sight.

Some of the ministers raised their heads and looked at Queen He above, and after seeing Queen He's extremely bad expression, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, thinking about something. They understand, but sometimes they don't understand, and if they don't, then they are not qualified to stand here.

Connecting everything, Empress Dowager Dong's return to her hometown to recuperate, but she died of illness on the way, all this is too fast and too coincidental, what do you not understand?

The only thing I don't understand is why the Empress Dowager Dong can still appear here, although this is a big rebellion, but compared to the ministers, I really don't want any more waves in my heart, especially in the matter of the new emperor's accession to the throne. They also saw Liu Xie, who was following Empress Dowager Dong, and vaguely knew what she was doing here for, but it was impossible.

When the emperor was alive, he always wanted to make the prince the crown prince, but under the pressure from inside and outside the palace, he repeatedly failed to succeed, so the position of the crown prince was vacant until his death. What the emperor couldn't do during his lifetime, it was even more impossible to think about after his death, because the replacement of the crown prince represents orthodoxy or not, and it is also a kind of order!

When Empress Dowager Dong walked towards Empress He, these two women, one in front of the other, were the most powerful women in the entire empire, and there seemed to be sparks in their eyes that sputtered out at the moment of eye contact.

There was a feminine murderous aura in the air, although it was slight, but it was no stranger to Cao Cao, who had been going back and forth on the battlefield a few times. He didn't set his sights on Empress He like other ministers, he knew certain things earlier, earlier than many people.

Instead, he looked at Dong Zhuo, the initiator of all this. Dong Zhuo's plans and methods, he couldn't be clearer, but unfortunately he has not been able to succeed in several interceptions all the time, and he has to say that it can be regarded as his failure to get to this point. But he won't admit defeat until the results come out, even if he loses, he won't admit defeat.

The so-called victory or defeat is too insignificant, the real victory or defeat is life and death, and a person's failure will inevitably be accompanied by death. And if you don't die, then all wins and losses are just temporary wins and losses.

What's more, it is not known whether it will be won or lost.

Empress He watched Empress Dowager Dong walk towards her, the gloom in her eyes was so thick that she couldn't get away, she really didn't understand what was wrong, and she couldn't figure it out now. But the woman's intuition is telling her that the person who is coming is not good, no matter what, the Empress Dowager Dong and her mother are here today, and they must not have come here to congratulate.

She has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and the Empress Dowager Dong also understands that this time it will determine who the master of the world is, and it will also determine the ownership of the palace. No matter who wins, the other side will lose completely, and there will not be even a chance again.

Thinking about this, the gloom in Queen He's eyes suddenly disappeared, and all the emotions were hidden in the deepest part of her eyes. A crystal light suddenly flashed in the corner of her eyes, and Empress He reached out and gently wiped it away with her fingers, and hurriedly walked down the steps towards Empress Dowager Dong.

"The Queen Mother." Empress He gave a gentle salute, stood up again and walked to the side of the Empress Dowager Dong, to help her.

"No need for He, the mourning family has not yet reached the time when I need someone to support me." Empress Dowager Dong's hand was deflected and escaped Empress He's hand.

Empress He's hand grabbed an empty space, and after a pause, she grabbed it at a faster speed. This time, Empress Dowager Dong did not dodge again, her hand was grabbed by Queen He, and she was supported by Queen He and walked towards the steps.

"Even if the queen mother doesn't need it, it doesn't mean that the concubines don't need to do this." Empress He replied calmly, her face unchanged.

"It's really good that you don't have anything to do, you must know that the concubine was worried at the beginning, and now I am relieved when I see the concubine of the queen mother." Empress He whispered, with a smile on her face.

"Oh? Is it? Empress Dowager Dong smiled kindly, as if she was moved and relieved, her other hand let go of Liu Xie's hand next to her, and patted the back of Empress He's hand holding her hand.

"Smack."

A crisp voice appeared, and the back of Empress He's white hand quickly turned red, and the stinging pain made her body tremble unconsciously. Her expression didn't change at all, she maintained a happy look, but where no one was paying attention, her fingers pinched down and used more force.

Empress He's swift counterattack made the skin of the arm under the sleeve of the Empress Dowager Dong appear bruised, and the pain was only perceptible to the Empress Dowager Dong herself, and everything else was hidden in the sleeve.

From the perspective of many ministers in the hall, including Liu Xie, who walked beside the Empress Dowager Dong, this is a scene of mother's love and filial piety, and there is no more abnormality. Only Empress He and Empress Dowager Dong knew that their contest had begun, and the attacks and counterattacks were all in an inadvertent moment.

This is just a common means for them, no matter who they are, there must be a very long journey behind this step to the world of motherhood. Acting is just one of the most basic skills of women, used to provoke men's pity and fight enemies.

Empress He and Empress Dowager Dong were both smiling, and only at the moment when they inadvertently touched each other's gazes, the smiles on their faces were a little colder.
