Under the bright candlelight, Empress Dowager Yu's old and tired face suddenly condensed like ice. Staring at Xie Mingxi's gaze, it also became cold and sharp.

Under the powerful coercion and compelling gaze of Empress Dowager Yu, Xie Mingxi's expression was as usual, and he didn't see any waves. It's as if what was just said was just a trivial matter.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law confronted each other speechlessly.

Obviously no one spoke, but the atmosphere was unusually tense and suffocating.

Zhilan and Yuqiao, who were standing aside and waiting, were also frightened and hurriedly lowered their heads.

In the palace, everyone was respectful to Empress Dowager Yu. Even Queen Xiao never dared to offend with words. Princess Shu was bold and bold and had no fear of Empress Dowager Yu. At this time, the confrontation did not lose momentum at all......

"Stand down." The two were thinking about it, and Princess Shu opened her mouth again: "The queen mother and I have to talk alone." ”

Zhilan Yuqiao was startled again, and looked at Empress Dowager Yu reflexively.

Empress Dowager Yu swept her eyes and motioned for the two of them to step back. The two of them then retreated and stayed outside the door. At this time, the palms of both of them were in cold sweat.

"Zhilan," Yu Qiao lowered her voice extremely low, "My heart is beating so fast. ”

It's scared.

In this house, knowing too much is not a good thing. Maybe he will die quietly in his bed at any time.

However, they are all confidants of Empress Dowager Yu, and they should know more things than others.

Zhilan was a little calmer than Yu Qiao, and said in a low voice: "Don't panic! With the Queen Mother here, the sky can't fall. ”

Not necessarily. Emperor Jian'an and his entourage all fell into the hands of traitors and were trapped in the imperial mausoleum. Isn't the Queen Mother also helpless, do you have to summon the King of Shu and his wife back to Beijing?

Yu Qiao muttered secretly in her heart, she didn't dare to say more, nodded slightly, and stopped talking.

……

In the inner room, there was still silence.

than patience, Xie Mingxi never loses to anyone.

She just sat upright and looked at the Empress Dowager Yu.

Empress Dowager Yu opened her mouth coldly and said, "Xie! How daring! How dare you talk to the mourners like this! ”

Xie Mingxi tugged at the corners of his lips, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "It's just me and the queen mother here, you might as well open the skylight and say something bright, why bother going around in circles." ”

"The origin of this gang of traitors, I think the queen mother already knows it."

"The one who hates the emperor to the bone is the king of Ningxia who has been under house arrest in the imperial mausoleum. It's just that the king of Ningxia alone doesn't have such great ability. Coupled with King Lu and King Min, it's different. ”

"How the three of them conspired, we are far away in Shudi, and the whip is beyond our reach, only guessing. The queen mother is in the capital, and all the vassal kings have the queen mother's internal response on their sides, so how can they not notice it at all? ”

"The queen mother has always pretended not to know, and even secretly contributed to the trouble. The mausoleum of the father collapsed, and the queen mother angrily reprimanded the emperor. An unfilial hat is pressed down, like a thousand catties. The emperor had to go to the imperial tomb in person. Fall into the conspiracy of the vassal kings. ”

After that, the queen mother pretended to be helpless and anxious, and kept everyone in the dark. Summoning our husband and wife back to the capital, how could there be no calculation? ”

Empress Dowager Yu was said to think about it one after another, and she could no longer maintain a condensed expression, her eyes flashed with surprise and vigilance, as well as deep jealousy.

Among the concubines, Sheng Hong's skills are the best. In terms of ambition and scheming, it may not be the most outstanding.

Among the daughters-in-law, Xie Mingxi is undoubtedly the best.

The sleek and clever Zhao Changqing compared with her, and he was not sharp. The intelligent and honest Xiao Yuhan is less ruthless than her, and Li Xiangru's inner house methods are not worth mentioning in front of her. Yin Xiaoxiao, who is slightly impulsive and reckless, is more like a blank sheet of paper in front of her.

This Xie Mingxi, since marrying Sheng Hong, has been low-key everywhere and does not show his grandeur.

At this moment, Xie Mingxi tore off the gentle mask of Yan Yan, and his sharp words were like sharp blades.

"What the hell is the Queen Mother going to do?" Xie Mingxi looked at the Empress Dowager Yu steadily, her voice was slow, but it was like a shock: "Could it be that you want to learn from the former Empress Dowager and listen to the government in person?" ”

Empress Dowager Yu finally changed color.

The shock and panic at this moment is completely different from the appearance of being half a drama before. In an instant, all her disguises were torn off, revealing her embarrassed true face.

……

Xie Mingxi's heart also sank.

Along the way, she has been thinking and speculating about what the Empress Dowager Yu thinks and does. The conclusions reached are chilling.

After seeing Empress Dowager Yu, Xie Mingxi became more and more determined.

Empress Dowager Yu never had any deep mother-son affection for her concubines. Several vassal kings were trapped in the imperial tomb together with Emperor Jian'an, which would not make Empress Dowager Yu panic to such a point. Empress Dowager Yu's helplessness was mostly pretended.

Empress Dowager Yu's real purpose was to use this incident to recall their husband and wife back to the capital together. Let Sheng Hong do his best to save Emperor Jian'an, and let their brothers fight each other. Anyway, no matter who wins or loses, Empress Dowager Yu is the winner......

It's better to all die cleanly. and then support the young emperor and grandson to succeed to the throne, and the empress dowager who is the regent herself, and all the power in the palace and the court is in her hands.

Scold!

She is too lazy to care about calculating others, and when it comes to calculating their husband and wife, then don't blame her for being ruthless.

Empress Dowager Yu took a few quick breaths, pressed down the surging emotions in her heart, and stared at Xie Mingxi fiercely, with a fierce light flashing in her eyes: "You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." Xie Mingxi! With just what you just said, the mourners can cure your sin! ”

The clash of words is also a contest of scheming skills.

Whoever is in a hurry to lose his temper loses first!

The corners of Xie Mingxi's mouth pulled out a sarcastic arc, and smiled: "What I said is the truth, what is the crime?" ”

"The palace is the queen mother's world, and I don't know how many masters are ambushed in the Jiaofang Palace. It is not difficult for the queen mother to kill me. However, I would like to advise my mother to think twice before acting. ”

"I dare to enter the palace with His Highness because we have been on guard for a long time. I have half an accident in the Jiaofang Palace, and His Highness will immediately lead the troops into the Jiaofang Palace. ”

"No matter how powerful the queen mother is, she is only confined to the harem. The command of the Imperial Forest Army is immovable, and the number of people who can be used is limited. If you want to be the queen regent, you can't fall into the notoriety of killing your daughter-in-law or son. Otherwise, the people of the world will scold, and the important ministers such as Lu Ge Lao and Li Ge Lao will not tolerate it. The queen mother's ambition to become the regent was completely shattered. ”

"The queen mother had better put away this face that wanted to kill me."

Empress Dowager Yu: "......"

The grievances and humiliations that Empress Dowager Yu has suffered in her life are mostly due to Empress Dowager Li's troubles. It is nothing more than a means of grinding people in the harem. Now, the Empress Dowager Li lies on the bed all day long, inside and outside the palace, only she is angry.

I never thought that she would suffer such humiliation today under the fierce verbal offensive of her daughter-in-law Xie Mingxi!
