The Empress Dowager smiled faintly: "Yes, I underestimated him, and I also underestimated the sixth child." But it doesn't matter, see you in the dagger, after everyone does their best, let's settle their destiny. ”

Xia Xue brought a chair over, Mingzhu sat down, took the tea sent by Su Mei, and took a sip slowly: "Yes, I will wait here with the Empress Dowager." At this moment, she can almost be sure that the Empress Dowager is indeed doing it, and all she can do at present is to detain the Empress Dowager, and if something really happens, it can also be the final bargaining chip.

The Empress Dowager made a gesture towards Mingzhu: "Please please, I'm tired and want to rest." After saying that, he really didn't care about anything else, and lay down quietly.

Fu Zifei was angry on the side: "Fu Mingzhu is arrogant, disrespectful, and has no one in her eyes, please ask the Empress Dowager to treat her crimes!" ”

The Empress Dowager glanced at her and said, "Please ask the Empress to do it for you." ”

Fu Zifei was speechless for a while, and then blushed in annoyance. If she can do it for her, does she need to sue here?

Mingzhu ignored Fu Zifei at all, and lightly instructed Xia Xue: "There is a traitor making trouble, you go and tell Mei Yuxi and ask him to send someone to take care of the king of Xiangcheng County." ”

The Empress Dowager's calm expression finally revealed a flaw, and she looked at Mingzhu in disbelief: "How can you do this?" ”

Mingzhu said expressionlessly: "Could it be that the Empress Dowager thinks that the King of Xiangcheng County should not be protected?" ”

The Empress Dowager sneered and said no more.

Outside the hall, Ji Hui and Xiao Nuniang's master and servant looked at the tables, chairs, teacups and other things and were speechless, and Xiao Nuniang's hands and feet were trembling. They have been in the palace for some time, and they can be regarded as people who have seen wind and rain, but there has never been a time when she feels scared like this, for no other reason, no matter how the Empress Dowager fought with Yu Wenchu, she can always maintain a delicate balance, and they don't have to worry about disasters affecting them.

This time is different, the princess regent is menacing, and only then did she express her unfriendliness to Ji Hui in public, if the empress dowager falls, will they be next? Xiao Nanniang's palms were full of cold sweat, and she looked at Ji Hui fearfully: "Girl, what should we do?" Shall we go to the Chongzheng Palace? Your Majesty will definitely protect us. ”

Ji Hui looked at the sky, the clouds were faint, the sky was blue, she shook her head lightly: "No, we are not going anywhere, we can't go anywhere, just go back to the house and wait." ”

Xiao Nanniang wanted to cry, she took Xiao Nanniang's hand and pulled Xiao Nanniang back: "Let's go to burn incense in front of the Bodhisattva, maybe the Bodhisattva will let us go when he sees our sincerity." ”

Mingzhu drank a whole pot of tea, watched the sun and shadow under the window gradually shift, and her mood gradually became irritable. Xia Xue came in and said softly: "The king of Xiangcheng County was taken to the Chongzheng Palace by His Majesty. Manager Mei advised the princess not to mention this matter again, just to ignore or forget. ”

In other words, Yuwenguang still has brotherly affection for Yuwennuo, he knows that things have changed, and his first reaction is to bring his youngest brother to protect him first. From this matter, he didn't believe in the Empress Dowager, nor did he believe in Yuwenchu and Mingzhu, he only believed in himself.

This is understandable, Mingzhu accepted Mei Yuxi's suggestion and asked in a low voice: "How is the situation in the DPRK and the city?" Is there peace at home and in the prime minister's house? Is there news from outside the city? ”

Xia Xue shook her head: "There is no news, but when the slave maid went this time, she saw that everyone in the palace was performing their duties, and they did not mess up." Mr. May didn't get any bad news from there. ”

What does it mean that the capital and the court, and even the palace, are all peaceful, rather than following the outside of the city? Mingzhu looked at the Empress Dowager with a serene demeanor, and suddenly realized that the Empress Dowager was probably making a lone bet and betting all her strength and chips on the action of getting rid of Yu Wenchu.

First, there is no abnormality in the capital and the palace, and they will not startle the snake, which will make all of them relax their vigilance, so that they have a greater chance of success.

Second, instead of dispersing the forces, it is better to strike with all your might. Just imagine, if Yu Wenchu disappeared from this world, would all this he had worked so hard to manage before still be useful? If the name is not right, it is not good, the regent is dead, and it is impossible to let Zhuang Zhuang come out and continue to work.

Everything is still Yuwenguang's, at least on the surface.

Even if the Empress Dowager has no way to take it over, it has nothing to do with the Regent's Palace. Yuwen Chu got off to a bad start, he brought alive the minds of the princes of the clan, and everyone had to obey when he was alive, what if he died? Of course, it is the capable who live in it.

Mingzhu pondered nervously. Soon she found the loophole of this operation, because this situation did not do any good to the Yuwenguang brothers, if the Empress Dowager really wanted to make the Yuwenguang brothers the direct beneficiaries, there should be a more careful plan to keep up, for example, those who should be killed should be killed, and those who should be eliminated should be eliminated. But nothing.

Without warning, the plan may not be very thorough, but the Empress Dowager made a rash move, which can only mean one thing, she can't wait.

Mingzhu stood up and asked the palace people: "How long has it been since Jiangzhouzi entered the palace to treat the Empress Dowager?" ”

The Empress Dowager's eyelids jumped on the bed, and Fu Zifei sneered: "It's really rare, my aunt's conscience found out today, and she can actually think of this." Didn't you take Jiang Zhouzi away and forbid him to treat the Empress Dowager, and wanted to die alive? ”

The left and right sides had already torn their faces, and Mingzhu said coldly: "Invite the queen down, she is making a lot of noise here, which is not conducive to the queen mother's recovery." ”

Fu Zifei scolded angrily: "Fu Mingzhu! Hello majestic! He dared to point fingers at the queen of the dynasty! Traitor and rebel, you will not die well! I'm going to tell the world about all these rebellious things you've done......"

There is no way back from this road, Mingzhu waved his hand, signaling to hurry up and take Fu Zifei away. Mulberry was brought in, and she trembled and said: "Jiangzhouzi enters the palace every two days to ask for a pulse, and then adjusts the prescription with the Tai Hospital, and there has never been an omission." ”

Everything seemed to be going according to plan, but it was still not right, Mingzhu said in a hoarse voice: "Summons Jiangzhouzi into the palace immediately, I want to see him immediately." ”

The blue of the sky gradually deepened, a bright star lit up in the sky, and a palace man walked in quickly and whispered back to Mingzhu: "Mr. Jiang followed His Highness to the Jishan camp." It is said that there is an old gentleman over there who is seriously ill and needs urgent treatment. ”

Hell yes! Mingzhu held back his anger: "What about Tang Chunlai?" Let him enter the palace at once! ”
