After the man left, the Queen Mother pinched her aching forehead and thought about what to do next.

The old eunuch slapped the shoulders on behalf of the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, is it possible that the regent did this matter?" After all, now it is Ji Changye who keeps fighting against them, and these things happen so coincidentally, it is difficult not to associate Ji Changye and them with this matter.

In fact, the Queen Mother also thought of this, but because there was no evidence, and even if this matter was related to Ji Changye, what was more important now was how to solve this matter.

So the Queen Mother sighed and replied, "Since the regent dares to do this, it means that there are people behind him who are supporting him, and this force can compete with the mourning family, do you think we can easily find out any evidence?" Even if she didn't say it, the Queen Mother guessed that the person behind Ji Changye was the emperor, after all, there were few people besides him who dared to do it against her.

If this is the case, then they really don't have any good policies to deal with, they can only take one step at a time.

"You arrange for Li Ming and Yu Chong to come to see the mourning family." Now they are being provoked by Ji Changye, and they are fighting to the death. Therefore, the Queen Mother plans to attack them first, and maybe she will be able to find a way to retaliate against Ji Changye.

At this moment, Shu Rong, who was beside the emperor, came with an order.

"Your Majesty asks the Queen Mother to go to the study quickly, there are some things to discuss."

The Queen Mother already knew what was going on, so she replied to Shu Rong: "The mourning family knows, you go back and tell Your Majesty, the mourning family is coming." Her attitude towards Shu Rong can be regarded as polite, after all, Shu Rong is a henchman who has been with the emperor for so long, and she can't be offended.

Shu Rong responded, and after he went back, he conveyed the words of his instructions to the emperor word for word.

In the study at this time, Ji Changye's figure is also here.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the Queen Mother has taken the bait." The stone hanging in Ji Changye's heart was finally put down, thinking that their efforts during this time were not in vain, at least they had made the Queen Mother vigilant.

The emperor put down the letter and replied, "But I still can't be careless, after all, it's not the last moment, and no one knows if the queen mother will notice anything at that time." Later, when the Queen Mother comes, you can hide in first and listen to what she has to say." As he spoke, he pointed to the inner room of the study, and Ji Changye nodded brightly.

Soon after, the Queen Mother finally came, Ji Changye quickly hid in the inner room, through the crack in the door, he could see everything that happened outside, after watching the Queen Mother sit down, Ji Changye tensed his nerves, for fear that the Queen Mother's words would be missed by himself.

"Your Majesty doesn't know why the mourning family came?" The Queen Mother took the lead in opening her mouth to seize the opportunity, in order not to let herself be in a passive position later.

After hearing this, the emperor calmly replied: "Disturbing the queen mother, it is because of some things in the previous dynasty, presumably the queen mother has also heard about it, after all, the people have already made trouble at the foot of the palace." did not directly expose what they had done before and the connivance of the queen mother, the emperor had already given enough to the queen mother. I just want the Queen Mother to be content.

"The Mourning family has never asked about the affairs of the previous dynasty, and it is naturally unclear what happened here, so why don't Your Majesty say it directly, the Mourning family is so old, and they don't have the energy to guess, right?" The Queen Mother pretended to say, wanting to pretend to be pitiful with this.

But the emperor was not moved at all.

The emperor also understood what the queen mother meant, so he really didn't beat around the bush, and directly singled out and said: "This matter is easy to say, but it is still difficult to do, first of all, this matter has involved you the queen mother, and it has been so long, no matter what it is, the investigation is time-consuming and laborious, but since those victims have been found here, if I don't solve it, I am afraid it will cause criticism." After thinking about it, since this matter is related to you Queen Mother, I thought about asking you to cooperate with the investigation and see if this matter is true or false." Although the truth of the matter has long been known, the ultimate goal has not been achieved, so the emperor said so.

The battle of wits and courage between the queen mother and the emperor was fully seen by Ji Changye, but now he is more concerned about the question: what should be done next in this matter.

Listen to the Emperor

The Queen Mother couldn't help but sneer and replied, "The mourning family has never heard of this matter, so how can they meddle in these things. Your Majesty should be knowing about the mourning family, and the mourning family will not do these things." Speaking of the Queen Mother, she pretended to be misunderstood, as if the emperor had done something.

Inner Room Ji Changye was very surprised when he heard these words, he didn't expect that the Queen Mother would use this trick to clear her suspicions. It seems that it is not easy to get them to cooperate with the investigation of these things.

The emperor didn't want these answers, and he had nothing to say about what the Queen Mother had done, no matter how he said that Ji Changye was a child, how could he possibly improve?

However, when it came to the end, the Queen Mother still didn't want to admit it, and continued to pretend to be stupid and said: "The mourning family really didn't know about this matter from beginning to end, so they can't provide useful methods for Your Majesty. She said this just politely, after all, it was to clear her suspicion of these things, so that the emperor would not suspect them soon.

And the emperor had already seen through the Queen Mother's thoughts, so he didn't answer her words immediately, but diverted the topic and said, "I will investigate this matter clearly, thank you for the Queen Mother's cooperation." If the Queen Mother knows something, she must come and tell me, this matter is not a child's play. By the way, these are the records of those people who say they have been wronged, and the queen mother will see if she can find any useful information." As he spoke, he began to observe the Queen Mother's expression, trying to capture something from it.

And this move is not really trying to ask the Queen Mother to help do something, the emperor is just doing this to see the Queen Mother's expression and see if she can be moved.

Sure enough, the emperor thought well, and the queen mother's expression changed suddenly after seeing this, obviously surprised that these people said everything. However, in order not to expose anything in front of the emperor, the Queen Mother pretended to be calm, put the papers aside without care, and replied, "Your Majesty gave these to the mourning family, and the mourning family has nothing to do to help you, right? After all, the mourning family is in the deep palace and does not know about the affairs of the previous dynasty. The mother of the mourning family is not in the Ji family now, and it may be too difficult to know these things. But why should Your Majesty ask the Prince Regent or the Ten Princes, and they might be able to guess something." Saying that, the Queen Mother pretended to sigh melancholy and expressed her helplessness, as if she really wanted to help with this matter but was helpless.

The emperor couldn't easily question the Queen Mother, and besides, this was not the purpose of this time, so he comforted him, "I was too anxious about these things and didn't think about them thoughtfully. I hope the Queen Mother doesn't mind."

"Your Majesty's words are serious, and if you can share these things for Your Majesty, the mourning family will not feel that they have nothing to do every day." The Queen Mother replied pretendedly, but in fact, she was already angry in her heart.

The emperor no longer wants to embarrass the Queen Mother, whoever lets them continue to be so deadlocked, the Queen Mother will not say anything, and will suspect something, it will be difficult to deal with them when the time comes, but there will be no way to end it.

At this point, the Queen Mother could leave here, and returned to her bedroom with a sense of relief, thinking that she had not said anything just now, and she was already relieved.

But Ji Changye and the emperor also began to think carefully about what the Queen Mother wanted to do.

"Is it possible that the Queen Mother already knows about our plans?" Ji Changye asked worriedly, if this is the case, if it is revealed again, then what they have done will definitely be abandoned halfway.

The emperor was also a little worried, but he still comforted and said, "This time it is very secretive, even if the Queen Mother knows something, she can't throw herself into the net and take the initiative to say something, otherwise she will take the initiative to admit her crime." Because the queen mother had unclean hands and feet at the beginning, she has now left herself with troubles, so she is like this now.

Ji Changye listened to the emperor's comfort and was relieved, and after listening to the emperor's instructions, he left the palace and returned to his palace.

"How's it going?" Song Qian saw Ji Changye coming back, so he came to Ji Changye and asked with the support of his subordinates.

"Everything is fine, don't worry, Mrs. Song." Ji Chang

Night didn't tell the story, otherwise he was afraid that he would startle the snake.

Looking at Song Qian's already powerful body, Ji Changye said happily, "It looks much better, does Song Niangzi still feel that there is anything uncomfortable on her body now?"

Song Qian shook his head and replied, "No, I have taken the medicine prescribed by Lang Zhong in the past few days, and my body has almost recovered." It won't be long before she recovers completely, and finally no longer has nothing to do in her bed.

Ji Changye's mood was finally because Song Qian relaxed a lot, and he no longer thought about the Queen Mother, so as not to add a lot of troubles to himself.

At this time, after the Queen Mother returned to her bedroom, the old eunuch had already arranged the meeting properly, and reported: "Queen Mother, in less than a quarter of an hour, the carriage of Li Ming and Lord Yu Chong will come."

Hearing this, the worry that the queen mother was stirred up by the emperor in the study disappeared in an instant, and immediately asked the old eunuch to continue to arrange, in order not to let anyone see it, otherwise she would not be able to explain it clearly.

Sure enough, as the old eunuch said, within half an hour, Yu Chong and Li Ming came to visit together, the two of them are still mortal enemies, and there has been a lot of movement in the open and secret battles, and there is also a part of the reason why they are so turbulent in the court.

If it weren't for these, I'm afraid the emperor wouldn't have associated these things with himself, so looking at the two of them, the Queen Mother was angry and wanted to reprimand them, but in the end, because she thought that they were called here for business, so she endured it, and asked, "Do you know what the mourning family asked you to come here for?"

The two of them looked at each other, looking at each other hostile in their eyes, but because the Queen Mother was here, they endured it patiently, shook their heads and replied, "Back to the Queen Mother, I don't know."

The Empress Dowager slapped the table angrily and vented the anger she had just received from the emperor on Yu Chong and Li Ming: "Do you know what you have done? What you want has nothing to do with the mourning family, but you shouldn't threaten the mourning family!"
