Chapter 496: Pan's Death Temptation Empress Dowager Liu's trap

"What's wrong with the Queen Mother? Did you call a doctor? ”

Concubine Pang finally frightened the gatekeeper eunuch, and when she came in, she saw that Empress Dowager Pan's face was completely devoid of the past, and she was depressed, but there was no surprise in her heart, but it did not affect her expression of concern.

As she spoke, she walked a few steps to the front of the embroidery bed, straightened the brocade quilt of the Empress Dowager Pan, and looked at her pale pretty face, and felt a little sympathy and sympathy in her heart.

"Don't worry, although the official family was brought to the Queen Mother to be raised, they were taken care of very well."

"There are also Pan Mansion, Pan Bao and others, and the imperial court did not rush to kill them all, but just set a distribution ......"

Since Empress Dowager Pan took charge of the inner palace, she has gotten along well with her, and her supply has never been bad.

Although Concubine Pang herself was disheartened with the first emperor and no longer competed for favor, as well as the reason why the Pan family wanted to win over Cao Bin, she was still a little grateful to the Empress Dowager Pan.

The palace maid Xiao Tao explained:

"Pang Niangniang, Niangniang hasn't eaten for a few days."

It is fortunate that there is a well in the courtyard, otherwise they would not have starved to death, but they would have died of thirst.

Concubine Pang was stunned for a moment, turned her head to look at the already cold food on the table, and suddenly understood, and said in a warm voice:

"I brought some pastries, the Queen Mother will eat some first...... Cao Wei, hurry up and get a snack box. ”

She was about to greet her young but sturdy maid, but she was tightly grasped by the Empress Dowager Pan:

"Sister Pang, is there any news from Cao Bin, and when will he return to Beijing?"

Hearing this, Concubine Pang's face suddenly turned cold, and she suddenly shook off Empress Dowager Pan's hands, and said in a cold voice:

"You want to pull Juncai into the water?"

Seeing that she reacted so much, Empress Dowager Pan was puzzled, and hurriedly said:

"Why did my sister say this? Cao Bin is in the center and has a very high military reputation, how can he stand out of the matter? ”

"If he doesn't do anything, then the old woman and Wang Yanling will not let him go? What's more, I am the emperor's biological mother, how can I say that I have usurped......"

Concubine Pang originally turned around to leave, but when she heard this, she looked back and sneered:

"That's your business, at least Jun Cai will keep his wealth and wealth, and the Empress Dowager is not a foolish person, and she will not let Wang Yanling's family dominate."

What she cares about most is Cao Bin's safety, and she doesn't want him to risk his life to save a loser, and she doesn't care about the country's righteousness.

Originally, she still had some sympathy for the Empress Dowager Pan, but at this time, seeing that she had hit Cao Bin with her idea, she suddenly had the idea of sending poisoned snacks next time, anyway, the Empress Dowager was behind her.

Empress Dowager Pan didn't know that she was testing at the ghost gate, and coughed repeatedly:

"Sister listen to me again."

It was easy for her to catch her breath, clutch her chest and say:

"Sister, you underestimate their jealousy of Cao Bin too much, even the first emperor has to guard against him, not to mention the old woman and Wang Yanling, they killed my father and other important ministers in the court."

"Thinking about it, even if Cao Bin can keep his wealth, he will be cut to seize power and be excluded, is this what he wants?"

She struggled to sit up again, raised her hand and swore:

"The gods and Buddhas in the sky are proof, if Cao Bin can help me quell the chaos, this palace is willing to worship him as the prime minister, Jin Jue as the duke, and all military and state affairs in Pingzhang will be lived up to for life."

As she spoke, she seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said:

"Cao Bin is still the emperor's father-in-law, he can't ignore the ...... of the palace"

She swore that she had been talking for a long time, but Concubine Pang's attention was on the sentence "Even the first emperor must be guarded against".

Thinking of a possibility, she was horrified in her heart, stared at the Empress Dowager Pan and asked:

"You...... Could it be that the Queen Mother also has a will? ”

If she really has this kind of thing, once it is exposed, it will be a big trouble for Cao Bin, not to mention that Wang Yanling and Empress Dowager Liu have already tried against Cao Bin.

Empress Dowager Pan hurriedly shook her head and said:

"My sister misunderstood, I said it before the first emperor died."

What she wants is this effect, which is faintly threatening, but she doesn't want to completely tear her face, so she relies on her will to coerce Cao Bin to do things.

If she did that, not only would she not be able to predict the reaction of Concubine Pang and Cao Bin, but even if the seizure of power was successful, it would cause hostility from the other party and lay a future trouble that would be difficult to eliminate.

Concubine Pang looked at her suspiciously for a while, and was about to speak, when the maid leaning against the window suddenly said softly:

"Niangniang, the Queen Mother is here!"

Sure enough, not long after they changed the topic, the palace door was opened, and Empress Dowager Liu walked in surrounded by a group of eunuchs and palace maids.

She glanced at Empress Dowager Pan, then looked at Concubine Pang, and asked with a cold face:

"The mourning family has already decreed that the Pan family is guilty of sin, and no one is allowed to visit! Why did you break into the Praetorian Guards? ”

As she spoke, she groaned and said:

"Remember your first offense, and think about it for a month behind closed doors."

She was worried that Concubine Pang would open her eyes for Cao Bin's people in the court, causing her plan to suppress Cao Bin to be frustrated, but she didn't expect her to crash into the door herself.

Concubine Pang didn't defend either, and saluted:

"The concubine knows that she is wrong, so she will retire."

Seeing that she was so interested, Empress Dowager Liu nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the snacks on the table and sneered:

"Pan is sick and can't even eat the main meal, how can he eat these hair products?"

"The mourning family hasn't tasted Concubine Pang's craftsmanship yet, so send it to my palace......"

Don't you doubt that I will be poisoned? Then be hungry, it's just right for you.

In fact, she didn't plan to kill the Empress Dowager Pan, Pan Renmei's death in the court has already caused a bad impact, if the emperor's biological mother dies unexplained again, she has no way to explain to the world, the future is too great.

And she is nearly sixty years old, and she has some scruples about what happened after her death, and she doesn't want to offend the little emperor to death.

The most important thing is that she already has a better idea, which can make the little emperor hate the Pan family and firmly hold the little emperor in her hands......

Seeing her say this, what can Concubine Pang say? It's just that she doesn't have the skills to make dim sum, and those pastries are just taken from the kitchen chef to make up the numbers.

Empress Dowager Pan gritted her teeth with hatred, and when she heard that she was going to take away the pastries, her stomach had rebelled.

As he was talking, suddenly someone from the palace came to report:

"Big Lady, Lord Kou led people to break into the palace, and said that Prime Minister Wang Cheng was afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and he didn't dare to rescue Jiao Guluo, he had no foresight, and he was as brave as a woman!"

When Empress Dowager Liu heard this, her face suddenly darkened, where is this scolding Wang Yanling, this is clearly insinuating herself.

"Let's go, this palace wants to see, does he want to force the palace to fail?"

After speaking, he helped the old eunuch to turn around and leave.

Seeing this, the corners of Empress Dowager Pan's mouth showed some sarcasm, these people are no different from their own father, they are afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and they have no ambition.

In the blink of an eye, only she and Xiao Tao were left in the dormitory, and they felt even hungrier.

Just as he was thinking about how to persevere, Xiao Tao carefully took out two pieces of pastry from his arms and said:

"Niangniang, I secretly hid two pieces of dim sew, you can eat them quickly."

Empress Dowager Pan's eyes lit up suddenly, and she hurriedly grabbed one of them and stuffed it into her mouth, and was about to eat the second piece, when she saw Xiao Tao looking at herself with blank eyes, she broke the second piece of pastry in half and gave it to her in half:

"You pad your stomach first, leave half a piece for emergency relief, we don't know when we will be able to get out of trouble."

With the negotiation with Concubine Pang, Empress Dowager Pan felt that her hope was greatly increased.

The only thing I am worried about now is that Empress Dowager Liu and Wang Yanling have become a general trend, and Cao Bin will not be able to deal with them, or will not be able to deal with them with an overwhelming advantage.

In that case, there is still no way to change her situation.

After thinking about it like this, she gradually fell asleep in a weak satisfaction.

I don't know how long later, a few stones flew from the courtyard at night and hit the window, and then Xiao Tao called in the ear of the Empress Dowager Pan:

"Niangniang, the young master has come to save you."
