The look in Cheng Yunyi's eyes when he left was too complicated, Chu Yun couldn't understand it, let alone understand the meaning of his words.

But she soon forgot about it.

As Cheng Yunyi thought, Chu Yun was going to the imperial city, and Cheng Yunyi was unwilling to tell her the truth of the matter, so she went to find her father.

At the same time, envoys from other four countries and ten places were also on their way.

And as the very center of the storm.

The imperial palace of the empire is quiet and peaceful, all because of one woman, that is, the current empress dowager of the empire.

Yunying.

At this moment, she was sitting upright on the soft couch, with a kind face and peace of mind.

"Go down, all of you."

Behind her, there was also a woman wearing a veil, tall and tall, and the beautiful face looming behind the veil made her stand out like a hibiscus out of water.

It was she who spoke.

Her voice was cold, but there was a hint of weakness that made people pity.

It's a very contradictory feeling.

"Xiangxiang, you can go and rest too."

"Yes, sissy."

Outside Yunyang Palace, the queen is coming on the moon.

Eight palace maids led the way in front of him with wind lanterns.

was stopped outside by the palace maid of Yunyang Palace.

"The Empress Dowager is going to rest, please come back."

"Please say goodbye, this palace has something important to see the Queen Mother."

The queen didn't put on a show.

The grandmother, who had been keeping vigil outside, took a few glances at her, and then hurried in, just in time to meet a woman wearing a veil.

"The slave has seen the lord of Xiangxiang."

The old lady saluted her, and then said the queen's intention.

"Don't disturb the mother, I'll go out and have a look."

"Yes." This grandmother has also been with the Queen Mother, and the county lord Xiangxiang also grew up under her watch.

Knowing that she did the Lord, she didn't go in to ask the Queen Mother.

The moonlight was faint, and a faint thin smoke fell and shrouded the entire palace.

The queen was dressed in plain clothes and stood under the pavilion.

When Xiangxiang appeared, the two happened to look at each other.

"Queen Chitose, Niangniang has already rested, you can come back tomorrow if you have something."

Xiangxiang stepped forward and bowed lightly.

The posture is calm and measured.

"Who are you?" The queen narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, she had never seen this woman before.

"I thought the queen would ask, when will the mother meet you?"

"Let's go back."

Xiangxiang said this sentence without a head and left.

The queen stood there for a long time.

Not only was there surprise in my heart, but also a trace of fear, this woman was too unusual.

There was not the slightest sound of footsteps while walking, what a profound skill it is to be able to do this.

She asked herself if she knew more about the Empress Dowager than the current emperor, but she didn't know that there was such a master by her side.

The queen returned to the middle palace, and sure enough, she saw Cheng Yunyi.

"I thought you wouldn't come back."

Cheng Yunyi chuckled, but there was some helplessness in his eyes.

"I'm here to ask for something." Cheng Yunyi said straightforwardly, which surprised the queen.

She tapped her finger lightly on the table before she asked.

"Don't you understand that I'm not going to be able to protect myself right now?"

"Do you mean the old woman of the Empress Dowager?"

The Empress chuckled, "I didn't expect anyone in the Imperial Palace to dare to call her that." ”

"I'm just telling the truth."

"Alright, let's get down to business."

The queen raised her eyebrows, and her expression sank.

"Huang Cheng was washed in blood this time, others don't know what's going on, you don't know who did it, right?"

Cheng Yunyi didn't expect her to talk about it.

"You know, I'm going to do something else, and I'm not here lately, so I don't know."

"Is it ......?"

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and Cheng Yunyi looked at the queen in surprise and inexplicably, "You shouldn't say it's the queen mother, right?" ”

The queen smiled lightly and poured herself a cup of tea.

But when the teacup came to her mouth, she didn't drink it.

"Why would she do that? What's in it for you to be with her? ”

Cheng Yunyi was inexplicable, looking at the woman in front of him, he thought that this woman was crazy enough, but he didn't expect an even crazier one.

The queen wants to ruin a dynasty for the sake of a man.

But in Cheng Yunyi's view, it was more or less just a small fight, but this empress dowager was a ruthless person, and as soon as she came up, she directly flattened the two forces that supported the third prince and the eldest prince.

It is not so much to tie their forces as to consume the fruits of the empire.

"You two are terrible, one kills people in the front, and the other finishes for you in the back."

Cheng Yunyi was frightened, feeling that he was cooperating with the queen to seek skin with the tiger.

"You don't really think she's helping me, do you?"

"Otherwise, even if I'm outside, I heard that you have a lot to do with the current Empress Dowager."

Cheng Yunyi has always felt that the queen is a ruthless woman and desperate.

The main thing is that she is too mysterious, and there are many talented people around her, but her background is so simple that people can see through it at a glance, so where do these people come from?

"It's not a shallow relationship, hehe, that's right, haven't you always wanted to know, who has been helping me behind the scenes?"

Now there is no need for the queen to say, Cheng Yunyi also understands.

"She's the Empress Dowager of the Empire, why would she do this?"

The queen shook her head.

"I'm not even a dog to her, so how can I know these things?"

The queen drank the tea to her lips, then put down the teacup heavily.

"I know what you're going to do, how about we make a deal?"

Cheng Yunyi sat upright, looked up at her sharply, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Don't make such a fuss, you have been hiding in the imperial city for so long, first to catch the king of Jiangnan, and then to enter and exit the Rui Wangfu, for what? Isn't it just confusing? Do you think you've been messing around for so long and no one has found out your details? ”

The queen threw out a sentence lightly.

But it made Cheng Yunyi's heart tremble.

"You don't have to be wary of me, I know this, and if I can find this, it means that those behind me also know."

"So, what do you want to say?" Chen Yun also knows that this woman never fights uncertain battles.

Everyone around her is making the best use of everything, and they have to squeeze out the last bit of value.

"Of course I want to save my life, save your life and mine."

Cheng Yunyi was reluctant to cooperate with her.

"If I leave here from here, what can she do to me? Why should I cooperate with you, if I guess correctly, the next thing the Empress Dowager wants is your life, right? ”

"Will you? Will you be willing to get out of here? ”

Cheng Yunyi shrugged his shoulders and sat down again.

"Since you want to cooperate, then show some sincerity."

"What sincerity do you want?"

Cheng Yunyi said unhurriedly, "What are the women in the palace fighting for power all their lives? ”

"Don't forget, she is now the Empress Dowager, what else is worth her planning for so long."

This is something that the queen could never have imagined, and she didn't think so much about cooperating with the queen mother at the beginning.

It should be said that no one would have thought that the Empress Dowager would be able to control the government, after all, the Empress Dowager is still alive and the emperor is so young.

"That's for you to figure it out."

"And how did you save my life?"

Cheng Yunyi sneered, "I thought that the queen mother had already put life and death out of the way. ”

"It's one thing for me to want to die, but if someone else wants my life, I'll let her shed her skin even if I die."

Cheng Yunyi didn't laugh at her.

"In two days, when I find out something, I will tell you a piece of news, and when it comes to a critical moment, I may be able to save your life."

The two reached a preliminary agreement.

The queen asked Cheng Yunyi what he was doing when he came to see her, but Cheng Yunyi didn't tell her.

Let's just say it's not time yet.

There is room for each other.

There were a lot of people who didn't fall asleep this night.

The queen mother is now six gods and no master, walking around the palace, refusing to sleep peacefully, and letting people go out to inquire about the news from time to time.

The grandmother next to her persuaded several times to no avail.

"Queen Mother, don't worry, the emperor has his own nature, and he will be fine."

They had to say these things several times a day.

"What about the Great Prince? Why haven't you come here yet? ”

The queen mother's favorite was the three princes, but since the emperor was rumored to be seriously ill, the three princes and the eldest prince behaved completely differently, which made the queen mother feel cold.

Now that there is one, it is convenient for the prince to discuss.

The main thing is that she has already reached a preliminary agreement with the queen of the six houses.

It can be regarded as a united front, but what she didn't expect was that the Empress Dowager would suddenly return to the palace.

The Imperial Palace, where everything was going well, suddenly felt like a bomb had been thrown into it.

The entire empire has been turned upside down by the return of the Empress Dowager.

The eldest prince hurriedly walked in.

"What is the important matter for the imperial grandmother to invite her grandson to come so late?"

Although the eldest prince was not in the palace when he was a child, he was also acquainted with these people in the palace, and later under the guidance of his mother, he gradually adapted to his identity.

Although all the roads were forced to be walked by others, but at this point, he is already difficult to ride a tiger.

What's more, the whereabouts of his biological father are now unknown.

He was even more worried.

"Alright, don't salute, come and sit down."

The Empress Dowager impatiently waved away all her subordinates and pulled Chu Jiyao to sit down.

"Imperial Grandmother ......"

What puzzled the eldest prince was that he had been sitting here for a long time, but the queen mother didn't say a word, she didn't know what she was thinking, and her expression was extremely complicated.

So he called her softly.

After all, it was late at night, and it was inconvenient for him to stay in the harem for a long time.

"There's something, I think, to tell you."

The Queen Mother sighed, as if she had made some important decision.

Chu Jiyao frowned slightly, and subconsciously pricked up his ears, he felt that this matter was extraordinary.

"Imperial grandmother, you say, grandson, listen."

The Empress Dowager looked around before finally speaking in a low voice.

"Actually, your father has been missing for nearly a year."

"What?" Chu Jiyao stood up violently and looked at the Queen Mother incredulously.

"Isn't my father sick and hidden by the queen?"

Outsiders don't know the truth, but he does.
