Chapter Seventy-Two

The Queen Mother sat in the palace with nothing to do, and when she heard that Uncle Rong Guo was walking towards the palace with Duan Nantian, she remembered that this was a good time to collect Duan Nantian for her use, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered the palace maid and eunuch to prepare a banquet to greet her. Uncle Rong Guo and Duan Nantian walked into the Empress Dowager's palace one after the other, and saw the Empress Dowager standing in front of the hall waiting from a distance, dressed in extremely luxurious clothes, making her look extremely graceful and elegant. Recalling the past, the queen mother's appearance of the country, famous all over the world, although now it is getting older, but in the deep palace pampered and properly maintained, so the charm of the past is still there, Duan Nantian was born in the army, when has he seen such a peerless beauty, therefore, when he saw the queen mother, he was shocked by the heavens, and he opened his mouth for a while, and forgot to pay a big salute to him. The Queen Mother was bent on encircling him, so she didn't bother with him, and after a few words of greeting, she retreated and invited the two to sit down for a long talk.

After a few glasses of alcohol, Uncle Rong Guo couldn't bear it, and said straight to the point: "If Master Duan can help us, he will be the prime minister in the future, and Rong will definitely offer it with both hands." ”

Duan Nantian pretended to look at Uncle Rong Guo suspiciously, and replied hesitantly: "The old minister doesn't know what Uncle Guo said, ......" but there was a hint of deceit in his eyes.

"Lord Duan said with a smile, just because you have been up and down in the officialdom for many years and are well-informed, how can you not understand Rong's words." Uncle Rong Guo saw that he was secretive, and the city was very deep, and he couldn't help but sneer.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother was anxious, and hurriedly spoke: "Big brother, since what we are planning is very important, we can't rush it. Lord Duan's resolute and resolute name, the palace has already heard of it, and I admire it very much, so I will give the adult a cup first, and I hope that the adult Haihan's brother will behave rudely. After speaking, the Queen Mother drank all the wine in the cup.

Duan Nantian was flattered when he saw that the Queen Mother personally poured wine for him, and the gloom in his heart disappeared, and he hurriedly raised his wine glass in return. "It's not a secret, the position of prime minister, the old minister really dreamed of, however, if the old minister wants to disturb the orthodoxy of the royal family, bear the infamy of treason, and leave a stench for 10,000 years, the old minister is categorical and can't agree!"

Seeing Duan Nantian's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, Uncle Rong Guo couldn't help but snort contemptuously, how could he, who had always regarded himself as brave and brave, endure such a hypocritical person acting in front of him.

Duan Nantian saw that Uncle Rong Guo's face was full of contempt, and he was furious, but it was inconvenient to attack in front of the beauty, so he could only be secretly angry.

The Queen Mother knew that with Uncle Rongguo's ability, it would be impossible to lobby such a treacherous person to her command, so she glanced at Uncle Rongguo, then turned her head and whispered to Duan Nantian: "Lord Duan is angry, this palace and my brother have no intention of rebelling. It's just that those who can inherit the unification, except for the current emperor, is there no more suitable person? Let's listen to this palace for adults one by one. After speaking, the Queen Mother slowly walked up the stairs, sat on the main seat of the main hall, looked at the two of them condescendingly and dignifiedly, and continued: "Today's emperor is from the first emperor Zhaoyi, with a low status, seniority, and not the eldest son, who is overwhelmed by the heavy responsibility. Moreover, since he came to power, the court has been turbulent, natural disasters have been repeated, the treasury has been empty, and the people are struggling to make a living. On the other hand, the son of this palace, who was born noble, has a good reputation in the court, and then has the support of the Rong family, and once he ascends to the throne, he will be able to benefit the people. Putting things right is really the will of the people, if Lord Duan can help, it is tantamount to saving the world from fire and water. ”

Duan Nantian hesitated a little after hearing this, and secretly calculated the pros and cons in his heart.

The Queen Mother looked at Duan Nantian fixedly, seeing that his mind was uncertain and seemed to be shaken, she continued without waiting for him to think about it more: "If Lord Duan is willing to join forces with this palace, the position of prime minister will naturally be no problem, once the throne is replaced, it will not be easy for Lord Duan to avenge the murder of his son." ”

"Why did the Queen Mother say this?" Duan Nantian clenched his fists and looked at the Queen Mother expectantly and asked.

The Queen Mother grinned toothily and replied: "Who doesn't know that the current emperor relies on Ning Shangshu, even if he knows that Lord Ning and Lord Duan's beloved son are inseparable, he insists on delaying it, thinking that this matter will not be resolved in the end, poor Lord Duan has the only son under his knees, and he died in vain in Ning Mansion but there is no way to vent his hatred......"

"Not only that, but they actually want to open the coffin for an autopsy today, which makes Ming'er uneasy, it's just too deceitful!" Duan Nantian heard the Queen Mother's sympathetic words, and when he thought of today's events, he couldn't help but show a fierce light and reprimanded loudly.

"Lord Duan, please mourn, the emperor is so partial, it is really not a blessing for the country, if Lord Duan is willing to lend troops to this palace and his brother, this palace promises you, the day it is done, it will be the time for Lord Duan to slash the enemy, I don't know what Lord Duan thinks?" The Queen Mother said softly.

The deeply buried hatred had already tormented Duan Nantian to the point of pain, and now when he heard that the day when the great revenge would be avenged, his heart was very excited, looking at the Queen Mother's smiling phoenix eyes, Duan Nantian nodded firmly.

Uncle Rong Guo, who was sitting on the side, saw that Duan Nantian was finally willing to use it for himself, and he was amazed by his sister in his heart, and he was happy for a while, so he didn't care about the etiquette, picked up the wine and toasted a few glasses. Seeing his reckless behavior, the Queen Mother sighed lightly, but she did not say a word to remind him, so as not to disturb his interest.

It is estimated that with the intelligence and clever means of the Shadow Guard, they will be able to hide the guards sent by An Dingguo to guard An Ruiqi, so An Ruiqi no longer has any scruples, and is pacing leisurely towards the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time. When passing by the market, she happened to meet Ning Xue's personal maid Yumei, and when she saw that it was An Ruiqi, she hurriedly stepped forward, and tears fell like rain before she spoke.

An Ruiqi saw that she was depressed and unhappy, and it would be difficult to be happy for a while, so he led her to the teahouse and sat down, and asked gently, "Why are you so sad?" ”

"Second Young Master...... Yumei has bitterness in her heart...... But the second lady also has bitterness in her heart...... She washed her face with tears all day long...... Yumei looked at ...... I felt even more bitter in my heart...... Whining...... Second Young Master...... Only you are the second lady's panacea...... Can you go see her more......" Yumei said with a whimper.

"Doesn't the eldest brother go to see her every day......" An Ruiqi replied indifferently.

"Yes and how...... Now the second lady's nightmare is getting more and more serious, even if the master and the second lady try their best, they still haven't improved...... Yu Mei is afraid that if this goes on for a long time, the second lady will die of this fragrance......" After speaking, Yu Mei couldn't help but cry.

"I'm neither a doctor nor a warlock, how can I ...... if I go," An Ruiqi sighed.

"The second young master doesn't know, since the last time the second miss saw you return safely, for two days in a row, they have slept very peacefully, but later, you didn't show up again, and the second young lady relapsed again...... Yu Mei originally wanted to invite you to visit the second lady in the general's mansion, but she had no choice but to hear that the eldest young master said that you were seriously injured, and the general issued a grounding order, so she gave up...... Since the second young master is no longer in trouble, I will definitely go back with Yumei to meet the second young lady today! Yu Mei pleaded.

"Right now, I have something important to do, and it's inconvenient to go to Ningfu with you......" After listening to Yu Mei's words, An Ruiqi was also very worried about Ning Xue's illness in his heart, thinking that he was going to leave to get together with Ning Yue on the same day, I don't know when I would return, before leaving, I went to visit her to express my concern, and it was also a matter of concern, so after thinking for a while, I continued: "Tell Ning Xue for me, I will definitely go to Ning Mansion to visit her in the future, let her calm down and recuperate, don't worry too much." ”

After hearing this, Yu Mei looked at An Ruiqi gratefully and burst into laughter.
