However, what the Queen Mother said at this moment overturned his previous speculation.

"Do you really think that just a young woman can easily control the imperial palace of the empire? Your father was no ordinary emperor. ”

The Queen Mother got up and said earnestly.

"Grandmother Huang, what the hell are you going to say?"

Chu Jiyao really hadn't thought about it before.

The Emperor was seriously ill and he had not seen him since.

The queen's obstruction and the imperial doctor's statement made him believe that his father was hidden by the queen.

However, at this moment, the truth is known.

"Your father is indeed sick, and he was taken out of the palace."

"Since you know everything, why didn't you stop it?" Chu Jiyao was a little incredulous.

The Queen Mother sighed deeply.

"How do I stop it? How can I stop it, what's more, the Queen Mother, is the emperor's grandmother, will she still harm him? ”

Yes, that's what everyone thinks in their hearts, but the truth is so ironic.

The Empress Dowager returned to the palace, but the emperor did not return.

"Where is Father now?"

Since the Empress Dowager returned to the palace, Chu Jiyao has not seen her, and she has been turned away several times when she went to see her.

"I don't know, now, the Queen Mother is gone."

"What is my grandmother trying to do when she tells me this now?"

In fact, not only the people outside, but the entire palace is under the control of the Queen Mother, although she did not show up, but the people around her are not easy people.

The commander of the Praetorian Guard, Xu Zhen, has long been stranded.

The guards of the four gates have long been replaced, and the entire imperial city seems to be bloody and bloody, but it is not leaking.

All of this was in everyone's eyes, but no one could stop her.

"I suspect she'll do it to you."

The Empress Dowager looked at Chu Jiyao quietly, her eyes full of worry.

"It's impossible, what's in it for us to kill her? Does she still want to be an empress? ”

Chu Jiyao has never had the heart to fight for the reserve, but step by step to the present, it is not easy to give up.

If he still has a little bit of love for the queen mother, but the legendary queen mother, he has no affection, not to mention that this woman is too mysterious, few people have seen her since she returned to the imperial city, but she can call the wind and rain in the entire empire.

"Silence, don't talk nonsense, now it's her eyeliner everywhere, don't you want to live?"

The queen mother patted Chu Jiyao twice on the shoulder, signaling him not to talk nonsense.

"Grandmother was too worried, she said that she wanted to do something to me, and she could find any reason, and if she didn't want me to die, it would be okay no matter what."

"Have you been to see the Queen?"

"No, I'm afraid that right now, the most dangerous thing is her!"

No matter how deeply the queen hides, Chu Jiyao has gradually figured out the power behind her in the past few years.

There are so many strange spirits, and when you think about the current situation, you can imagine that the queen and the empress dowager have long been in collusion.

It's a pity that it seems that the two people have different paths, they are just using each other, and now that they have reached a fork in the road, it is time to give up one of them.

"Since you know all this in your heart, I won't say more, don't mess with the Empress Dowager recently, the envoys of the other four countries and ten places have all been on the road, and they will arrive in the imperial city soon, everything will be talked about when this matter passes."

After the Queen Mother said this, she waved him to go back first.

Chu Jiyao didn't see it that way.

"Grandmother is afraid that she is a little taken for granted, the Empress Dowager has been preparing for so long, presumably for the reunion of the five countries, I am afraid that something big will happen."

However, no matter what the two of them think, everything is just speculation.

There is no way to deal with it.

In the entire imperial city, except for the Empress Dowager, I am afraid that no force can sleep peacefully.

The tense atmosphere on the side of the imperial city lasted for four months.

In the golden autumn of October, there is a scene of harvest outside the city.

Many strangers have come outside the city gates in recent days.

After the general gift, there are all big shots.

Envoys from the other four countries and ten places have already arrived.

At this time, the imperial city began, with a hint of relaxation, and the bustle and hustle and bustle of the past were restored.

The two sides of the street are decorated with joy and joy as they are for the New Year.

Everything is about welcoming people from several other countries.

The candidate for the imperial reception this time fell to the head of the eldest prince.

The eldest prince was confused and accepted Yi's order, so he hurriedly went to arrange a matter.

There was not a single objection to his arrangement.

At the moment, the second floor of the restaurant.

A man and a woman sat by the window.

The men are wanton, and the women are eccentric.

She turned another wine glass in her hand, supported her chin with the other hand, and looked at the big prince and the others who passed downstairs.

"It's a good thing you didn't choose him in the first place, otherwise you would have lived like this by saddle the horse for someone else?"

The man didn't mean anything, teasing her.

"It's been a long time since I've seen him."

"Why don't you go down and say hello, he should be happy to see you."

"The surname is Qian, if you want to die, don't drag me to the funeral, this girl hasn't lived enough!"

Qian Wei shrugged his shoulders, and at this moment, Xiao Er delivered the food.

interrupted the conversation between them.

"Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing, please have a good meal, it can be regarded as reparation!"

These two people are Qian Wei and Xiao Ting who returned to the imperial city from Licheng.

The carriage of the eldest prince downstairs soon disappeared at the end of the road.

Xiao Ting didn't go to see him, it had been three days since she returned to the imperial city, and she hadn't gone to see anyone, and she wouldn't go to see anyone, including her father and aunt.

Xiao Ting filled her stomach with five by two, slapped the chopsticks on the table, looked at Qianyan, and asked, "Where is the prince?" ”

On the first day of Xiao Ting's return to the imperial city, she went to the Nine Princes' Mansion.

The furnishings inside are the same, and the doorkeeper is still the housekeeper at the beginning.

Nothing else.

There is no figure of the Nine Princes in the Zhongtian Moonlight Courtyard, and even the underground palace, she has managed to enter it.

And yet everything was empty.

It's as if the Nine Princes never came back.

Qianyu shook his head and solemnly told her that he hadn't found any news.

"So what do we do now?"

If it weren't for Qianqian to stop her, Xiao Ting would have wanted to rush directly into the palace and go to the woman to settle accounts.

But she also knew that none of this was done by the queen.

It's good right now, and I want to find someone to vent my anger, but I don't know who the main owner is.

"Don't worry, there will always be a way, I don't believe it, how many years has she been operating in this imperial city? Can you keep the news secret? ”

"Forget it, it's useless to ask you, let's go back and see Xiao Shi first!"

Xiao Ting was a little troubled, she didn't plan to take Xiao Eleven on the same road, but this kid couldn't live or die, and she even came up with a bunch of excuses, so she had to agree.

But he didn't expect that not long after he hit the road, he began to feel uncomfortable, and when he arrived in the imperial city, he was even more powerful, and he fainted directly, if it weren't for the doctor's sight that it was nothing serious, Xiao Ting would have thought that Xiao Shi was dying.

"Don't worry, it's a typical adaptation."

"That's not your brother, of course you're not worried." Xiao Ting scolded him angrily.

Qianyu touched his nose, and in line with the principle of not worrying about women, he stopped talking.

But what the two of them didn't expect was that when they returned to their temporary residence, Xiao Xin was gone.

Xiao Ting was angry, called Xiao Er, and asked him what the situation was?

As a result, Xiao Er looked at the two of them in confusion and said, "It was the doctor who said that the little boy was seriously ill and needed to be taken back for recuperation, and you agreed." ”

The whole person is in a state of mist.

"What about people? Where did it go? How long has it been gone? ”

Qianyu hurriedly stopped Xiao Ting, who was about to make a move, and hurriedly asked.

The little second was also frightened, and stammered and pointed behind him, "Just now, just left." ”

Xiao Ting and Qianyu didn't say a word, left Xiao Er and hurriedly chased them out.

There was no accident, they took a shortcut, and after climbing over the courtyard wall, they saw Xiao Xin.

was being carried on the shoulders by one of them, and a group of four people hurried.

"Leave people behind."

Xiao Ting didn't speak, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the four people didn't even turn their heads back, and ran away.

There were people coming and going on the street, Xiao Ting and Qianqi acted separately and caught up with the four people.

found that they were not carrying Xiao Xin at all, and they were transferred.

"What about people?" Xiao Ting was in a hurry, Xiao Shi was still in a coma, and she was taken away like this, and she didn't know why.

The four of them were simply not waiting for her to finish asking, their necks were crooked, and they swallowed directly.

Xiao Ting was directly dumbfounded, and looked at Qianqian in a daze, what does this mean?

Qianjun is also helpless.

He checked the situation of the four people left and right, and told Xiao Ting that they had died of poisoning.

"So simply?" Xiao Ting really doesn't understand these people, she has only seen this kind of thing in TV series before, but she didn't expect it to happen to her.

The most important thing is that now that Xiao Xin is taken away, she doesn't know who did it.

"It seems that the other party doesn't want us to know at all, has your brother offended anyone before?"

Xiao Ting glared at him, "My little girl has always been out of the door, who can I offend?" ”

"......" Qianyu wants to say that the door is not out of the door, is it good to describe the girl?

This is an upright little boy in your family.

"It's not him, it's someone you offended, someone knows your whereabouts, so you kidnapped your brother?"

Qianqi's analysis is normal, but Xiao Ting always feels that something is wrong.

"Our whereabouts when we came back this time are very secretive, even Li Mo and they don't know the specific situation, how can others know?"

"That's right, it's okay now, Chu Li hasn't found it yet, your brother has lost it again, it seems that you are busy now."

Xiao Ting rolled her eyes at him and looked at him suspiciously, "How do I feel, you are gloating?" ”

"It's definitely your delusion, the two of us are grasshoppers on the same rope now."

Xiao Ting scratched her head and stood in place for a long time.

In the end, I didn't think of a way, so I had to go back first.

Suddenly, there were a lot of big people in the imperial city, and there were more and more guards, patrolling the streets day and night.

However, until the evening, Xiao Ting did not hear any news about the death of the four people.
