Domineering Daming

Zhou Yingqiu hurriedly wrapped up the package, picked it up and said.

"exactly."

Ni Wenhuan hastily agreed, wrapped up his things, picked them up and followed Zhou Yingqiu.

Wei Liangqing frowned, not knowing why the two lost their composure at all, but still followed them and left.

Zhou Mansion, when Zhou Yingqiu finished talking about these two things under suppressed excitement, Wei Liangqing was also dumbfounded.

"You mean, that nobleman is the empress?"

At this moment, Zhou Yingqiu was not only shocked, but excited in his eyes.In the entire Ming Dynasty, apart from the emperor, who else could be more dependable than the empress?What's more, the empress is already pregnant with Longzi, who will be Daming's eldest son, the future emperor!

A strange look also appeared on Ni Wenhuan's face. Didn't he curry favor with Wei Zhongxian at the beginning for the purpose of promotion? Now that he has the support of the empress, isn't it all easy?

Wei Liangqing looked at the faces of the two, shocked, and slowly calmed down, his eyes became hot.

The three of them were silent. After a long time, Ni Wenhuan suddenly looked at Zhou Yingqiu and said, "Brother Zhou, I plan to visit Tai Kangbo in a few days, what do you think?"

Tai Kangbo, the biological father of Empress Zhang, Zhang Guoji.

Zhou Yingqiu thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Brother Ni is still too impatient. Since the empress doesn't want to show up, we will show our whereabouts like this instead, which is not beautiful."

When Ni Wenhuan heard this, he nodded again and again, and said with a look of lingering fear: "It's what Brother Zhou said, my little brother almost broke things."

Zhou Yingqiu smiled calmly when he heard him calling himself "little brother". He is now the leader of these people outside the empress.

"Then, what should we do for the empress?" Wei Liangqing asked suddenly.He is also suppressing his excitement now. He used to rely on his uncle and aunt, but now he finally has a more secure backing, and that is the current empress!

Zhou Yingqiu was also pensive. From his point of view, it is clear that the empress needs foreign help to consolidate her position. After all, the Ke family and Wei Zhongxian had wanted to abolish the empress before.But what kind of gift does the Empress need from them to be happy?

The empress is extremely honorable, what in the world does she long for?

All three of them were thinking, what does the empress lack?No one can tell, and you can't do it blindly.

"How about, tomorrow I will ask the shopkeeper Zhou?" At this time, Wei Liangqing suddenly interrupted again.

Zhou Yingqiu's eyes lit up, and he turned to look at him and said, "Brother Wei, that's a good idea. The shopkeeper Zhou has been with the empress for a long time, so maybe he knows something about the empress."

Ni Wenhuan also nodded, and said, "But the shopkeeper Zhou was right, and this matter has to be done in secret."

The three of them were all excited, as if they had reached an agreement, they got together and started discussing in low voices.

They were very excited, but Zhu Xu was restless in the study.Today, being followed by someone, Ke Shi also appeared suddenly, which gave him a very bad premonition.With his current small arms and legs, if they are really exposed, there will be absolutely no good end.

"Your Highness." Cao Wenzhao hurried in.

Zhu Xu stood up abruptly, and said anxiously: "Did you find out, which palace did you enter?"

Cao Wenzhao looked a little hesitant, and immediately said: "Your Highness, I didn't see which palace it was, because there were people coming and going in the palace, and I could only look at the back from a distance, but in that direction, it seemed that there was only Xinwang Palace. "

"Believe in the palace?" Zhu Xu's expression moved slightly, and then he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, sitting on the chair and said: "It should be fine, I guess it's because I often go out of the palace, which aroused fifth brother's suspicion."

Zhu Xu said so, but he knew that it was probably the meeting between his uncle Fu Changzong and Bi Maokang that aroused his suspicion.Fortunately, he had been hiding some time ago, and his actions have always been extremely confidential, and since King Xin has no power in the court and the opposition, it should be only the courtyard that was exposed.

Cao Wenzhao thought for a while, and said, "Should I inform my uncle and the mountain?"

"No need." Zhu Xu waved his hand, with a serious expression on his face, and said, "Except for the normal production in the yard, everything else is temporarily suspended. I will write something later, and when you let Cao Huachun's people go out of the palace , take it to Zhou Jianyu."

"Yes, Your Highness is also relieved. We have always acted cautiously, and His Highness Xin Wang should just be curious." Cao Wenzhao looked at Zhu Xu's expression and said comfortingly.

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, King Xin heaved a sigh of relief, but the old hag couldn't relax at all.If she is really eyeing him, he is by no means an opponent on the bright side.

Not long after, Cao Huachun came in a hurry and said out of breath, "His Royal Highness heard it. The Li Supervisor said that Mrs. Ke just returned to Beijing from Henan and is tidying up in the palace. It is expected to move out of the palace in three days and move to Yunwu Mountain."

After Zhu Xu listened, his face was thoughtful, and he said to himself: "Three days later? It's well hidden, why did it suddenly appear, what's the idea of ​​the emperor?"

Both Cao Huachun and Cao Wenzhao stood at the table, looking at him, thinking.Ever since Qingliu worked together to force Wei Zhongxian away, the palace was full of weirdness, which made them tremble with fear from time to time.

Zhu Xu couldn't find the reason in his heart, looked up at the two of them, and said, "Is there anything special about the court recently?"

Cao Huachun and Cao Wenzhao looked at each other, and Cao Wenzhao said: "There is nothing special about facing up, but Zhao Nanxing is very resistant to Gu Bingqian's marriage. He also said some nasty things."

Zhu Xu sighed slightly, Zhao Nanxing is one of the pillars of the Donglin Party, and also a hilltop of Qingliu, with a resolute personality and a clear name all his life, marrying someone with such a bad record like Gu Bingqian is more uncomfortable than killing him.

It is estimated that on the side of the emperor's brother, he not only said bad words, but also insinuated and accused the emperor's brother.

Zhu Xu vaguely felt that maybe it was really related to this matter, so he couldn't help saying to himself: "If his plan goes bankrupt, what else does he want to do after that?"

Cao Wenzhao suddenly glanced at Cao Huachun, and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, no matter what, that matter cannot wait any longer."

Zhu Xu's heart skipped a beat, and immediately his face ached again, as if Ke Shi was pinching his face again, very hard.

Chapter 40

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes and tapped the table with his fingers habitually.

Keshi has always been a thorn in his heart. Her position in the harem is so terrible that even Queen Zhang can't hold it down. She even thought of abolishing the queen before.If the relationship between her and Zhu Youxiao is not completely cut off, there will be another Wei Zhongxian who will appear even more unscrupulous in the palace and no one can control him.

But if you want to move her, you can't take risks. After pondering for a while, Zhu Xu looked at the two of them and said, "Let Xiao Cao participate in this matter. You can talk about it first. Tonight, let's discuss the details."

Cao Wenzhao was actually a little worried about Cao Huachun, but he nodded and said, "It's Your Highness."

Cao Huachun was extremely excited in his heart, finally gaining the trust of His Royal Highness King Hui!It can be regarded as establishing a foothold in the future Prince Hui's Mansion.

After the two left, Zhu Xu took out a pen and paper, wrote and drew on it, drew a rough map of the palace, and then kept calculating for completeness.

For the Ke family, Zhu Xu was more solemn than ever. If you kill a tiger, you will be injured by the tiger. This principle is most correct when applied to the Ke family.If one is not good, not only will he be unlucky, it may even implicate Queen Zhang who brought him up.

I don't know how long it took before Yao Qingqing appeared outside the door and softly called inside: "Your Highness, the empress has sent someone to invite you over."

Zhu Xu was stunned, looked up and looked out the window, the sun was about to set, thought for a while, and said: "Okay, I'll be there now."

Zhu Xu tidied up the papers on the table, and ran into Cao Huachun and Cao Wenzhao as soon as he went out, he said: "You wait, I'll go to the emperor's wife."

"It's Your Highness." The two of them were not in a hurry, and bowed to see Zhu Xu off.

Zhu Xu was holding the pastry brought back from the palace, and when he looked up, it was Wu Qing.

"Your Highness." Wu Qing saluted slightly, pursed her lips, and seemed to stop talking.

Zhu Xu understood, nodded and said, "Let's go."

The two walked towards the Kunning Palace one after the other, and they didn't go far. Seeing no one, Wu Qing said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the Emperor has been to the Kunning Palace before, and the empress scolded Mrs. Fengsheng. It made the emperor unhappy."

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, it turned out that he was here, and said calmly: "What else did the sister-in-law say?"

Wu Qing looked back and forth again, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty also said that Feng Guiren's miscarriage is related to Mrs. Fengsheng."
