My wife is not a demon

……

"Ah-"

On the wide official road, a carriage was driving fast.

In the carriage, Yun Zhiyue, who was rushing to the capital to meet the man in her heart, sneezed inexplicably, and subconsciously rubbed her shoulders.

"Is this because of the wind and cold?"

Chapter 680 The queen mother slaps her in the face!

Under the arrangement of the shadow guards, the queen mother returned to the capital at a very fast speed.

Although she had been missing for many days, under the clever cover-up of the female officials in Fengyuan Palace, not many officials noticed the abnormality.

I only know that the queen mother is not in good health these days and needs to rest.

Even if some officials had doubts, they were blocked outside the palace and could not be confirmed, but occasionally they could catch a glimpse of the Queen Mother's figure and disappear in a flash, allaying their suspicions.

During the period, Gu Jianling, the commander of Du Mingwei, came once and was summoned.

Gu Jianling was very angry when he left, as if he had quarreled with the Queen Mother, and he was still holding some torn documents in his hand.

After he left, there was also the sound of the desk being overturned in the bedroom.

After returning to the mansion, the guards outside the door inadvertently heard Gu Jianling say that the queen mother is too stubborn and shouldn't wait like this.

These were learned by other officials, and they believed that the Queen Mother was really recuperating.

All in all it's foggy.

Even the little emperor was a little confused.

I remember that when he returned to Beijing that day, the shadow guard told him that the queen mother had secretly returned to the capital because of some injuries, and told him not to continue searching.

Although the little emperor didn't believe it, he even came to Fengyuan Palace several times to find the queen mother but was rejected.

But looking at the atmosphere inside and outside Fengyuan Palace, it seems that the queen mother is really recovering from her injuries, and she was suspicious for a while, making it difficult to make a judgment.

But as time went by, he gradually realized that the queen mother might really not be in the palace.

In particular, he tentatively handled some important affairs of the DPRK and China.

They also sent people to monitor the small courtyard of Chen Mu's concubine Meng Yanqing, removed Zhang Awei from his position, and ordered to take back some of Chen Mu's redundant positions.

After crossing the border so much, the queen mother never came forward to stop it.

This made Jimin confirm his conjecture even more.

The suppressed officials continued to think about it again, and rumors spread all over the court.

Some officials of the empress dowager's faction even took the initiative to show favor to the emperor.

After feeling that the center of power is slowly approaching him bit by bit, for an emperor who has been under the shadow of the queen mother all year round, it is undoubtedly worth being excited.

But deep down in the little emperor's heart, he was ambivalently worried about the situation of the empress dowager.

After all... that woman holds a lot of weight in his heart.

Too heavy to disdain other women.

Even the all-powerful Suzaku envoy, or the talented and beautiful Lu Wuyi from a prominent family... can't compare to that woman's half of her hair in the bottom of my heart.

So he hoped that the other party was really in the palace.

With this contradictory state of mind, Jimin went to Fengyuan Palace several times to seek evidence. Although his attitude became worse every time, he was still stopped by the female officer.

Until today, officials from several factions of the court came to make euphemistic requests.

They hope to use the hand of the emperor to confirm the status of the queen mother.

If something happened to the queen mother, such as being seriously ill and comatose, they could prepare in advance to suppress other factions and help the emperor stabilize his power in one fell swoop.

Emperor Jimin hesitated.

Recalling the past, he finally made a decision in his heart.

Even if the queen mother is not in the palace, nothing will happen. He can take advantage of these rare gaps to expand his power.

Even if the queen mother returns at that time, he still has enough wrist-wrestling ability.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has been recuperating for many days, and there are many affairs in the court. If this continues, there will be big problems sooner or later."

"Yes, Your Majesty, at least we should have the right to know what kind of illness the Empress Dowager is suffering from."

"Your Majesty, in this court, it is up to you to decide after all."

"..."

Inside the Golden Luan Hall, several core faction officials tried to persuade him.

They knew that the time had come, and whether they were tactful or blunt, they all hoped that Jimin would show courage and reverse the situation where the queen mother was in power in one fell swoop.

This is an opportunity bestowed by God, not to be missed.

Emperor Jimin stared blankly at the mountain of memorials on the table, his fingertips unconsciously caressing the armrest of the dragon chair, his eyes flickering.

He picked up the pen and wanted to write something, but found that the ink on the inkstone was a little dry, and said casually: "Rong—"

As soon as the words came out, it suddenly occurred to him that Eunuch Rong had been killed by Chen Mu.

Recalling the unforgettable scene that day, the violent emotions in the little emperor's heart once again ignited a fire in his chest, he tightly squeezed the pen holder, and his face became distorted.

Snapped!

He threw the pen on the ground viciously, got up and said, "Go to Fengyuan Palace!"

The officials were overjoyed.

……

He came to Fengyuan Palace in a mighty way, but there were still female officials blocking him.

Seeing the emperor's arrival, all the female guards hurriedly knelt on the ground to stop him: "Your Majesty, please stay, the empress dowager is not in good health, so it is inconvenient to see each other."

An official scolded: "I have to report to the Queen Mother for an important official business, which delays the business, can you afford it?"

The female officer was neither humble nor overbearing: "I'm sorry, my lords. The queen mother said that if there is something urgent, you can leave a note, and she will review it. Now that I am not in good health, I really can't meet with your lords. Please forgive me."
