When Empress Shen returned early on this day, he found that the prince Yijiu was not in his palace, so it can be seen that the prince was not in his palace when he went out to discuss the affairs of the Qin State a few days ago.

At this moment, this matter was discovered, and the people had no choice but to tremble and respond, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to Youyang Palace, saying that His Royal Highness would come back before Niangniang returned, so he didn't let me talk to Niangniang about it!" ”

"Youyang Palace?" Shen Hou had a sense of foreboding.

"Yes!" Someone responded, "I have been to Youyang Palace for the past few days." ”

"The palace knows, don't tell the prince about this matter and the palace already knows, just say that after the palace came back, he went to the palace to rest and found nothing!" Empress Shen instructed, and only then did she turn around and leave, walking towards the dormitory, supporting her forehead with one hand while lying on the bed, thinking about what could be discussed between Mrs. Qin and Yi Jiu? After thinking about it, Empress Shen also felt puzzled, just because there was one thing she happened to not know.

In order to prevent the sowing of discord between Bao Hui and Empress Shen in the future, Bao Hongde explained the situation in advance for Mrs. Qin, and now that Qin Hou has entered Beijing, his ambitions are in the territory of the entire Great Zhou, and it is time for Mrs. Qin to make a choice. If he returns to the dynasty in the future, this matter will definitely implicate Mrs. Qin, plus Bao Xi has made too many achievements in the palace, it is impossible for Mrs. Qin to regain her favor!

Mrs. Qin doesn't seem to have much to go at the moment, but she is not convinced by Bao Xi's sole favorite, and tells Bao Hongde that she has the secret edict of the king, and Bao Hongde has a plan at the moment and wants Mrs. Qin to have more contact with Yijiu.

After all, Ji Gongyan was out on a campaign, and he was able to make an edict asking Mrs. Qin and Empress Shen to protect the prince Yijiu, and exile Bao Xi and Bofu, he must have expected that his fierceness would be more auspicious. Mrs. Qin now supports Yijiu, once the king has an accident, let Yijiu take over, Qin Hou entered Beijing to take away the rights of Uncle Zhao, and then fully took over the capital, and then in the name of auxiliary politics in the future, expand the power of Qin, and finally empty the agent of the Zhou State, Yijiu, and ascend the throne himself.

And if the king comes back, then the words "preserving Yijiu" are the best explanation for Qin Hou's entry into Beijing, and Ji Gongyan does not need to blame Mrs. Qin's head, but now that Qin Hou has come, Mrs. Qin can only accept Bao Hongde's suggestion, otherwise he will be held accountable by the king, and I am afraid that he will not be able to escape the doom of the cold palace.

Mrs. Qin will be skeptical of Bao Hongde's analysis, but after all, this conclusion is too tempting, and she is still inclined to Bao Hongde's analysis. It's just that she doesn't know that the edict left by Ji Gongyan is the last way to retreat, and it is Bao Xi and Uncle who are saved, not Yijiu and Shenhou.

……

Zheng Boyou arrived at the boundary of Zheng Guo after a few days of travel, compared to the speed of going, he came back very slowly, as if every step was very difficult, getting off the carriage, the eldest lady took the burden in his hand, "The master is back?" ”

"Well," Zheng Boyou nodded, "What's going on lately?" ”

"No, everything is as usual," the eldest lady replied, "but what is the purpose of the master's entry into Beijing this time?" ”

"It's not a big deal to dispatch military horses!" Zheng Boyou said, these words startled the eldest lady, "Dispatch military horses? That means Zheng Guo is going to war? And with whom? ”

"It's just a scheduling, it can't be fought!" Zheng Boyou said.

"I said a long time ago, if there is chaos today, the ambitions of the Qin State are not small, we are just a small land, in order to protect ourselves, we should ally with the big powers, and now if we fall into a war, I am afraid that no one will lend a hand!" The eldest lady chattered endlessly, and the tone of her mouth was complaining that Zheng Boyou had refused to form an alliance with the Jin State that day, Zheng Boyou pinched his temples, felt very annoyed, and looked around at the people who came to pick him up, "What about Twenty-Seven?" ”

"I received a letter in the morning, and you came back in the afternoon, and the twenty-seventh sister said that she was having dinner with the old lady at that time, so she didn't come!" The eldest lady said, feeling very uncomfortable.

"I'm going to see my mother, too!" Zheng Boyou said.

"Shall I come with you?" The eldest lady asked.

"You can go whenever you want, so you don't have to join in the excitement today!" Zheng Boyou walked towards the backyard as he spoke, leaving the eldest lady to stomp her feet in place, her brows furrowed tightly, her hands clenched tightly, and she snorted in her nose.

Hearing someone come in, Twenty-seven immediately stood up and looked in the direction of the door, she had been this soulless appearance this afternoon, the old lady saw that it was Zheng Boyou who came in, "Haha" laughed, and joked to Twenty-seven, "You are so soulless, instead of staying here with me, it is better to wait for your husband outside the door!" ”

"Where do I have it?" Twenty-seven's face turned red with shame, and he pulled the broken hair in his ears, "Why did the master come here?" ”

"I heard that you are here, just come over to have a look," Zheng Boyou said, the old lady was immediately unhappy when she heard this, "What did you say, Twenty-seven is no longer here, you came back from a long time, and you won't come to see me?" ”

"I used to come back from the capital of Ho, and my mother always said that you don't have to come to see you often, now you don't have to ask about daily trivial matters! Since I came and was kicked out, then my mother shouldn't care if I came to see you for the first time, right? Zheng Boyou looked at the old lady and asked, the older this person is, the younger he is, but he is like a child.

"Whether I let you come or not is one thing, and whether you come or not is another!" The old lady reprimanded, and Zheng Boyou could only bow his head in response, "What my mother taught me is that if I call Twenty-Seven, you probably won't drive me back to deal with government affairs, right?" ”

"You're just too lazy!" The old lady pointed to Zheng Boyou and said, "If this is Qizhi, from now on, we must immediately organize everyone to report on what has happened recently, and make decisions quickly on some major matters, ask about everything, and know every decision." ”

"I don't have the energy, so I can only read, compose, and farm...... Qizhi is coming back soon, so my mother doesn't have to look at me upset! Zheng Boyou looked at the old lady and said, he knew that because of various reasons, his father and mother had more preferences for Qizhi since he was a child, and he didn't say this at this moment to be jealous, but he just hoped that the old lady would not have to be immersed in the pain of losing her relatives.

Twenty-seven pulled Zheng Boyou's sleeve, shook his head, and signaled him not to talk to the old lady like this, "The old lady said that you don't have to worry about adults since you were a child, let others do everything, treat your subordinates very generously, rarely care about personal gains and losses, and don't be surprised, but the second brother is not, because of physical reasons, he cares a lot about the eyes of others, so he has more preferences for him since he was a child, but in his heart, he likes you as an elder brother." She doesn't let you come to see her, and she doesn't want you to worry about her, she has bitterness in her heart but doesn't dare to say it to you, so she has to swallow the bitter water by herself. ”

Zheng Boyou grabbed Lan Twenty-seven's shoulders and held her hand, "Thank you for your hard work!" ”

Twenty-seven's face suddenly became very crimson, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Zheng Boyou's face again, Zheng Boyou turned to the old lady, "In the end, they are all their own children, and the palms and backs of their hands are also meat, and when I come back in the future, I won't embarrass my mother!" ”

"I'm afraid it's not me who won't be embarrassed!" The old lady was too familiar with her son, looked at Twenty-seven and said, "Twenty-seven, you go down first, I have something to talk to Zheng Boyou alone!" ”

"Yes!" Twenty-seven stood up and answered, turning around and walking out of the house.

"I'll go to you in a while," Zheng Boyou said behind Twenty-seven, Twenty-seven nodded, the steps under his feet became faster and faster, his face was flushed, his heart was beating faster, and some smiles appeared unnaturally on his face.

Zheng Boyou turned to his mother again and asked, "What's going on at home?" ”

"What do you think about Uncle Zheng's location?" The old lady asked, "Since Yan'er let you sit in this position, I'm afraid that I don't want you to hand over the power to Qizhi, if he succumbs to you......" She sighed and shook her head, she knew her child's heart too well, and she was worried about the world, so she could only make herself caught in the middle and embarrassed, so she simply closed the door and ignored the world, but now all this has been broken again.

"We'll talk about it then, right?" Zheng Boyou said, not seeming to be in a hurry about this matter.

The old lady nodded, and she didn't embarrass her son, after all, she couldn't always ask the bully to make concessions, "Why did Niangniang let you enter the palace?" ”

"Now that the soldiers of the Qin State are coming to the city, the pickaxe capital is in danger, Zheng Guo has made a posture of waiting for the day, so that the pickaxe capital can be saved from danger!" Zheng Boyou said truthfully, "I went to see my sister's mausoleum this time, and the king buried her with the rites of the next throne, so she can rest in peace, right?" ”

"This lady ......," the old lady looked at Zheng Boyou and muttered for a long time before continuing, "It's not easy! ”

"Regardless of whether she is the murderer of her sister or not, with her, the Great Zhou Dynasty will not be chaotic!" Zheng Boyou looked at his mother and said, but the old lady didn't seem to care about this matter, "Did she explain anything else to you?" ”

"No more!" Zheng Boyou said.

"If not, why did your attitude towards Twenty-Seven change so much?" The old lady looked at Zheng Boyou sharply, and couldn't allow him to tell a lie, Zheng Boyou frowned, hesitated again and again and told the truth to his mother, "She said that a hundred years of life is fleeting, just as it is an acting, and it will not be too long in a lifetime." ”

"What a wise woman! She's not protecting Twenty-Seven, she's protecting herself! The old lady's hands were clasped tightly together, and she said word by word.

"Why does my mother think so?" Zheng Boyou asked calmly, there was not even a trace of ups and downs in his emotions, Bao Xi was misunderstood for a day or two, and he misunderstood her a few times, but it turned out that he was wrong every time, although Bao Xi admitted to killing Mrs. Zheng, but Zheng Boyou felt more and more that this matter was fraudulent! There is only one person in the whole world who wants to protect him, and Zheng Boyou knows why Mrs. Zheng died. For others to her disease, he has long had a preventive mentality, and he doesn't think so.
