Although the Yang family kept it a secret, Queen Yang still knew the news of her father's death.

The Empress Dowager did not speak, and Empress Yang could not go out of the palace to worship, she cried quietly a few times.

She also knew that the one who killed her father was her second uncle Yang Qin.

Prior to this, Yang Qin had sent someone to ambush his eldest brother Yang Jincheng, who had just died nine times, but his father was murdered.

First, the fifth uncle Yang Jie died on the canal, then Yang Jinxuan killed the fourth cousin Yang Ne, and the life and death of his cousin Yang Jinting are uncertain, and now it is his father's turn.

Tonight, when Empress Yang heard that there were assassins in Chaoyang Palace, the first thing she thought of was Yang Qin.

It was the same people who killed my father as the one who came to assassinate the Empress Dowager!

But now, Empress Yang never expected that the assassin would be a remnant of the Later Jin Dynasty! And one of them turned out to be the old eunuch Deshan in the Protector's Mansion.

Concubine Mao on the side could not hide her fear, she was the granddaughter of the old protector Yang Feng, and like Queen Yang, she had seen Deshan since she was very young.

“...... Didn't the rebels of the Later Jin Dynasty be exterminated many years ago? Why is it happening again? Actually, now is not the time to say this, but Concubine Mao couldn't help but say it.

After saying that, she regretted it, and quietly looked at Queen Yang, who frowned, but it didn't look like she was going to reprimand her.

In fact, since the two concubines reached a cooperation, even if Queen Yang occasionally scolded her in front of people, she was still acting for others, and in private, they were not only cousins, but also allies in weal and woe.

Concubine Mao breathed a sigh of relief, but in an instant, she suddenly realized something.

From now on, in this harem, it will be Queen Yang and her world.

What a real world!

The night sky is full of stars, and the light in Mao Guifei's eyes is brighter than the starlight.

Mao Guifei's words brought back Empress Yang's thoughts, she exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, stabilized her mind, and said slowly: "Be bold and seek to kill the Empress Dowager, you are brave, loyal, and quickly investigate inside and outside the palace, if there are comrades, they will be severely punished!" “

Empress Yang's words put the matter to a conclusion, and the palace maids, eunuchs, guards, and Yulin Jun inside and outside Chaoyang Palace were all secretly relieved.

The death of the Empress Dowager was committed by the thieves of the Later Jin Dynasty, and they were all brave men, not only innocent, but meritorious.

Mao Guifei's lips rose slightly, if she said that she was powerful or Empress Yang was powerful, she would not only use the death of the Empress Dowager to establish her authority, but also use the death of the Empress Dowager to buy people's hearts.

Inside and outside this Chaoyang Palace, which one is not the Queen Mother? Queen Yang left their cheap lives in just a few words, and after this incident, not to mention the Chaoyang Palace, even the entire harem, they also have to read the virtuous name of Queen Yang.

You must know that a few years ago, Emperor Daxing gave Empress Yang the name of a jealous woman, and now he is going to change it completely.

Concubine Mao covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, hiding the smile on her face, but she whimpered twice, gently held Empress Yang's hand, and said sadly: "Queen Mother, Imperial Grandmother, she is an old man...... Let the concubines keep a watch for the Empress Dowager. ”

The head of the Empress Dowager has moved, so she can't be buried like this, Concubine Mao really wants to know how to dispose of this corpse in a different place, I'm afraid there is no such precedent in the palace.

Empress Yang glanced at her, suddenly remembered something important, and asked, "What about Your Majesty?" ”

Yes, the little emperor is in Chaoyang Palace, but everyone forgot about him tonight.

At this time, Yu Zheng, the chief eunuch of Chaoyang Palace, hurriedly ran over, and the reason why he didn't appear until now was precisely to find the little emperor.

Yu Zheng is a smart person, today's matter, even if Empress Yang will not punish the crime, but a eunuch like him, who has been by the side of the Empress Dowager for many years, is bound to guard the imperial mausoleum.

Yu Zheng has just turned forty, he still has twenty or thirty years to live, he has fields, land and houses outside the palace, and he also has a lot of godsons and grandsons in the palace, but if he goes to the imperial mausoleum to serve the empress dowager, then all this will be over.

Therefore, as soon as the news came out that the assassins had been caught, Yu Zheng went to find the little emperor.

Regardless of the future, the top priority is to take the little emperor into his arms.

In the future, this palace will be the world of the two new queen mothers, but there must be a transition, and he, a loyal and brave eunuch who desperately protects the little emperor at a critical juncture, will be the best candidate for the transitional class.

Who can say that it is just a transition, if he can coax the two queen mothers during this period, the chief manager will still be his.

Since he was a child, he waited for the new emperor, grew up with the little emperor in his infancy, taught him to babble, helped him walk, took him to listen to the emperor's lectures when he was a child, and helped him to go to the court to listen to the hundred officials when he grew up, this kind of opportunity is not something that any eunuch can have.

And he Yu Zheng has such an opportunity in front of him.

Therefore, Yu Zheng went to the little emperor without saying a word.

But now, he returned empty-handed.

"Queen Qi, Concubine Qi, Your Majesty is not in Chaoyang Palace, the slaves and maids have searched all over Chaoyang Palace, but they don't see Your Majesty, even the nurse on duty tonight is gone." Yu Zheng was heartbroken, in fact, if it wasn't for Empress Yang coming, he would have dug the entire palace three feet into the ground.

"What?" Empress Yang's calm and waveless face finally changed color.

Concubine Mao almost jumped up, it doesn't matter if the Empress Dowager dies ten times, but the little emperor can't make any mistakes.

Whether it is Empress Yang or Concubine Mao, the rest of their lives are all tied to this little baby.

"The slave did not find His Majesty." Yu Zheng crouched on the ground and sobbed.

Empress Yang stroked her chest, her chest aching faintly, and asked in a deep voice, "Which of you is waiting by His Majesty's side?" ”

"Slave and maid are, slave and maid should not be on duty tonight......"

"The slave maid is too, when she heard the movement, Lin Niangzi asked the slave and maid to come out to take a look, and then she ......"

There were more than a dozen people in the crowd who shrank their heads and walked out, but these people were either not on duty tonight, or they just came out when they heard the movement, and none of them stayed with the little emperor.

And the little emperor's nurse Lin Niangzi and the other two palace maids who were waiting for him were all gone.

"Find, go and find it for the mourning family!" Empress Yang said in a deep voice.

Compared with the loss of the little emperor, the death of the empress dowager does not seem to be very important.

The Queen Mother will one day become the Queen Mother, but the little emperor is gone, and this Great Qi and this palace will be in chaos.

At this moment, an attendant stumbled over: "Empress Qiyu, Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......"

Running too fast, the waiter was out of breath and couldn't speak.

"How is Your Majesty, where is he?" Concubine Mao couldn't hold back and asked anxiously.
