Ye Yunyi, who walked into the palace, saw the queen mother for the first time, with a simple blue robe, gray hair, and a hint of tiredness on her face with shallow wrinkles, but she still looked energetic.

Prince Ping, who was walking in front, quickly dismounted and walked over and asked, "Imperial sister-in-law, have they embarrassed you?" ”

The Empress Dowager waved her hand and looked at Ye Yunyi behind Prince Ping.

Ye Yunyi still saluted the queen mother out of courtesy, but he felt a little awkward, so he should pay tribute to the old people back then.

"The mourning family wants to talk to this young man, if you have something to do, go and leave me alone", the queen mother looked at the people around her.

Xie Shuran and they now see that the old school affairs have been almost solved, and they also need to be busy dealing with various government affairs, the news of the death of the Chu Emperor has to be announced, as well as the consideration of the future monarch, to appease the people, etc., so after the queen mother said it, they hurriedly retired.

Xu Tingwei was in charge of guarding, and even Prince Ping could only wait under the city wall, leaving only the Empress Dowager and Ye Yunyi on the wall, as well as Qin Luoyao, who supported the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager walked to the edge of the city wall and looked down at the city gate, because the people in the bustling streets had taken refuge in their homes because the army had been stationed before, and now the streets had become deserted.

Ye Yunyi didn't say anything, and also walked to the wall and looked into the distance.

After a while, the Empress Dowager spoke: "The mourning family is here to thank the Dark Pavilion for saving the Chu State again."

"Where I am doing, I am not thankful," Ye Yunyi replied.

"This Dark Pavilion Master is much younger and more powerful than I thought, I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing for the Chu State," the Empress Dowager continued.

"If the state of Chu is here, the dark pavilion will be there, and when the state of Chu is dead, the dark pavilion will have no meaning of existence."

Neither of them looked at each other, one continued to look at the imperial city of Chu, and the other looked into the distance.

When she saw Ye Yunyi, the Empress Dowager Li Jingzhi already knew Ye Yunyi's identity, after all, Ye Yunyi was too similar to Ye Beijiang when he was young.

The same handsome demeanor and the same high spirit, but Ye Yunyi's temperament is more like a strategist, and Ye Beijiang is more like a general.

Both knew their identities, but neither of them mentioned them.

Ye Yunyi thought that the queen mother was here to ask for the guilt, and the secret pavilion was on her own territory, calculated by the Yan State, the monarch was killed, and there were civil strife and disputes, but she only saw it in the end.

Ye Yunyi knew that the queen mother had a grudge in her heart, complained about the incompetence of the dark pavilion, and complained about the incompetence of the ministers.

But Emperor Chu's death was his own doing, no wonder others, look at what he did during his reign.

And it was none other than the Emperor Chu who killed him, it was your Empress Dowager's former wings, it was the Empress Dowager who single-handedly lifted them up from the old faction, but now the old faction killed her son, who is to blame?

"The mourning family knows that my emperor has not shown the courage to be able to take charge of the monarch since he was a child, and he lacked the teachings of me and his father in the process of growing up, plus I had to compromise with the dark pavilion before, so that no matter what, he will inherit the throne, and Uncle Chu will become mediocre or even incompetent as soon as they are confused, which is not to blame."

After all, the Empress Dowager was once in charge of the Chu State, and her vision of dealing with problems was even higher, and Ye Yunyi admired it a little.

"The country of Chu can have today, the mourning family has to bear a lot of responsibility, and the state of Chu has been powerless because of the war before, plus my son's toss over the years, the country has not been destroyed, I take the people of the state of Chu to thank the dark pavilion and those who secretly dedicate themselves to the state of Chu."

Ye Yunyi's previous worries seemed a little redundant, the queen mother saw the problem very thoroughly, Ye Yunyi knew that it was not for nothing that the queen mother almost hung the curtain to listen to the government, and this bearing alone made Ye Yunyi embarrassed.

The Empress Dowager paused and continued: "If you can, the mourning family hopes that the Dark Pavilion can come out of the shadows and lead the Chu State to become strong, and you can replace the position of the monarch, I believe that with your identity as the master of the Dark Pavilion, there will be no obstruction."

This sentence directly hit Ye Yunyi's weakness, which is exactly what Ye Yunyi has always wanted to do, but feeling the queen mother's torch-like eyes staring at him, Ye Yunyi didn't want to tell the truth.

"The Queen Mother is too worried, whether it is the throne you are talking about, or the incomparable glory, it is not my ambition, and even the position of the Pavilion Master of the Dark Pavilion is not my wish", Ye Yunyi retracted his gaze and looked at the Queen Mother next to him.

The plausible answer, which neither answered the Queen Mother's words positively, nor had a clear intention, this is the result that Ye Yunyi wants.

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she unconsciously tightened her hands, she hadn't felt like a punch on cotton for a long time, and she didn't allow this uncertain factor to threaten the Chu State.

Even if she is now a queen mother who has no strength and has been forgotten for many years, she is not easy to fool, because she still holds the hole card in her hand.

That was the army of his relatives who helped him quell the rebellion of the prince of Chu - the Tieshan Army.

After the pacification that year, the empress dowager understood that the Chu State was the most important, so she compromised with the Secret Pavilion and took the initiative to imprison Jining Temple.

But which Tieshan Army was always in the hands of the Empress Dowager back then, this was the dowry left to her by the Empress Dowager's father before she died, and the Empress Dowager would not allow the rivers and mountains of Chu to be cut off in her hands, and neither could Ye Yunyi.

"When the matter of Chu is settled, I will leave, I heard that there is a fairy trail north of the border of Chu State, I think I am more suitable for a life of leisure."

Ye Yunyi's next sentence dispelled the queen mother's scruples, Ye Yunyi knew what the queen mother was worried about.

There was a big mountain behind both of them, and at this critical time, neither wanted things to go in an unforeseeable direction.

This is equivalent to Ye Yunyi's assurance, guaranteeing that he has no idea about the throne, and a person like the Queen Mother has long understood what Ye Yunyi meant.

"I'm old, and I will be your young people in the future", the queen mother said to herself, but it was more like she was saying it to Ye Yunyi, which was tantamount to agreeing with Ye Yunyi's approach in disguise.

"Queen Mother, I have a question, I don't know if I can answer it for the kid", seeing that the opinions were agreed, Ye Yunyi wanted to ask the Queen Mother for verification.

Although he had already guessed the approximate answer, Ye Yunyi still wanted to hear the answer of the Queen Mother.

"You mean Uncle Chu, their actions against your Ye family!" Even though Ye Yunyi hasn't said it yet, the Queen Mother has already guessed it.

Qin Luoyao next to her was very surprised, because these days, she had never heard of any action about the Ye family, but seeing that Ye Yunyi was fine at the moment, she was relieved, and just pricked up her little ears and wanted to listen carefully.

"Yesterday, there was a border army that was transferred to Chudu and tried to assassinate me", Ye Yunyi did not detour and directly told what happened.

"Your grandfather was my guard, and I sent him to follow Gaozu", the Queen Mother looked at Ye Yunyi with some meaning.
