Ban Xia knows that Gu Qingqiu has completely fallen into madness at this moment, no matter how much he persuades, Gu Qingqiu will not listen to it, and for the present plan, he can only wait for Gu Qingqiu to calm down temporarily.

She has been by Gu Qingqiu's side for so many years, and has seen these calculations in the palace many times. She still has a sense of reason, and she can see that Mr. Zhuang may be a bait, just to lure Gu Qingqiu into action.

Seeing Ban Xia's silence, Gu Qingqiu's face became more and more gloomy: "Could it be that you want to betray me too?"

"My servant has no such intention!" Ban Xia immediately knelt down, her eyes full of earnestness, "This life of my servant belongs to you, the Crown Princess, so how could you betray you?"

She has already become a part of Gu Qingqiu, even if she betrays Gu Qingqiu, she will never end well, not to mention that Gu Qingqiu has indeed helped her a lot over the years.

Even though Gu Qingqiu looks like a violent person to outsiders, to Ban Xia, Gu Qingqiu is her real life-saving benefactor.

Ban Xia's attitude softened Gu Qingqiu's cold eyes slightly.

After a moment of silence, Gu Qingqiu closed his eyes, and said coldly: "Forget it, if that's the case, then you should remember my order and make sure to get this matter done."

"Your servant understands." Ban Xia quickly responded, "It's just that a group of prisoners have just been locked up in Dali Temple, and the guards are very tight. some time?"

"How long do we have to wait?" Gu Qingqiu frowned, and his tone was extremely unfriendly, "Don't you know how many things he has about me? For the present plan, we have to solve him as soon as possible!"

Seeing Gu Qingqiu showing impatience, Ban Xia didn't dare to persuade him any more, and could only nod slightly.

"Take the money, go buy some people and come back." Gu Qingqiu pointed out, "There are still a few families, since they want to have the power of the dragon, they should have the consciousness of contributing to the East Palace!"

Ban Xia heard Gu Qingqiu's implication, and nodded quickly.

……

At this time, the atmosphere in the queen mother's palace was very depressed.

Since she fainted last time, the queen mother has lost a lot of weight.

Li Dehai stood in front of the Empress Dowager and said with a smile: "Empress Dowager, this is a nourishing and health-preserving medicinal material specially sent to you by the emperor's servants. You must take care of your health!"

Hearing this, an imperceptible sarcasm flashed across the Queen Mother's eyes.

After being ill for a few days, the Queen Mother no longer regained her previous dignity, and her white hair made her look even more haggard.

"The emperor's filial piety is commendable." The queen mother smiled, "The Ai family will accept them all."

Li Dehai nodded quickly, and when he was about to leave, he heard the Queen Mother's cold voice behind him: "However, the disease of Aijia cannot be cured by a few herbs."

"Go and invite Daoist Chen over here." The Queen Mother said word by word, "The Ai family wants to see him."

Hearing this, Li Dehai stopped in his tracks immediately.

He stood there in astonishment, with his back to the Queen Mother, but it was enough for the Queen Mother to see his stiffness at the moment.

"Why?" The queen mother smiled coldly again, "The emperor is the son of Ai's family, so it's possible that Ai's family can't even meet a Taoist priest?"

"In these days, Aijia often dreamed of the late emperor, and Aijia was terrified, fearing that he had done something wrong to offend the late emperor, so he punished Aijia. I heard that Daoist Chen is very capable, and he must be able to do it with his power. Let the Ai family meet the late emperor again."

Li Dehai didn't dare to agree at all, his steps were brisk and his voice was very relaxed: "It's natural, this servant will go to see the emperor and tell him your plan."

"The Ai family is going to meet Daoist Chen now." The queen mother said coldly, "Could it be that, as the queen mother of a country, the Ai family has to get the emperor's approval to meet anyone?"

The queen mother's voice became colder, and Li Dehai was sure that the queen mother must know something.

There were many thoughts in his mind, and finally he decided to act safely, and said, "The queen mother, it's not that the emperor forbids you to see Daoist Chen, it's really... Daoist Chen is arrogant, and other than the emperor, no one can command him at all. If you want to Let him come over, I'm afraid the emperor will still have to invite him."

Unexpectedly, when these words were just spoken, the Queen Mother interrupted Li Dehai's remaining long speech.

"You don't need to be so troublesome, Ai's family just goes to see him." The queen mother raised her hand and said lightly, "No matter how arrogant Chen Daochang is, he will not reject Ai's family."

After all, the Empress Dowager walked out with a few court ladies.

Li Dehai was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat, and hurried to the Tai Chi Hall.

Seeing Li Dehai's back in a hurry, the Empress Dowager's eyes were filled with coldness.

She could see Li Dehai's prevarication, she knew that Li Dehai didn't want to let her go to see Daoist Chen, Li Dehai was just a slave, he had no idea of ​​his own, the emperor would not allow it.

Why did the emperor stop her from meeting a Taoist priest?The reason for this must be related to the late emperor!

The queen mother took a deep breath, and now there is no one available by her side.

The scene of Nanny Lin's death could still be seen in her mind, she clenched her hands uneasily, and came to Zhaixing Pavilion nervously but firmly.

The owner of the Zhaixing Pavilion seemed to have guessed her arrival long ago. At this time, the door was opened, and the drug boy stood on both sides, saluted the Queen Mother, and said: "My Lady, Daoist Chen has been waiting for you for a long time."

The Queen Mother had also seen Chen Daochang's ability, but when she saw Chen Daochang's ability to predict the future, a look of surprise inevitably flashed across her eyes, and then she strode towards the Star Picking Pavilion.

The second floor of Zhaixing Pavilion was empty, with only a futon on the smooth ground.

Chen Daochang knelt on the futon, muttering something.

The queen mother didn't make a sound when she came up, but the moment the queen mother walked to the second floor, Chen Daochang opened his eyes. His eyes were deep and deep, as if he could see through all disguises.

"For the poor, see the empress dowager."

Chen Daochang saluted, but he didn't intend to get up.

The queen mother knew that Chen Daochang was very favored by the emperor, and she didn't even need to salute when she met the emperor. As a queen mother, she naturally didn't have such a big face to make Chen Daochang salute to her.

"Chen Daochang doesn't need to be too polite." The queen mother forced a smile on her face, and her attitude towards Chen Daochang was very gentle. "Today, Aijia came to ask Chen Daochang for a favor."

"The empress dowager just speaks directly." Chen Daochang held the whisk in his hand, looking like a fairy.

Seeing him like this, the Empress Dowager felt more relieved, and said hastily: "Aijia has always dreamed of the late Emperor these days."

"Last time..." When the Queen Mother mentioned Mother Lin, a trace of panic emerged.

Nanny Lin's tragic situation, even if she was cruel and murdered many concubines in the palace, she would be frightened into a cold sweat by Nanny Lin when she dreamed back at midnight.

Daoist Chen stroked his beard, and said quietly: "Empress Dowager, I already know what you are talking about."

"To solve this matter..." He shook his head, "I'm afraid it will be very difficult."

"Pindao has already said before that for some reason, the soul of the late emperor has monstrous grievances, which cannot be countered by manpower. If you want him to stop entanglement, you can only dissolve his grievances."

"However..." Chen Daochang glanced at the Queen Mother with complicated eyes, "This resentment is obviously not easy to resolve, he is targeting you and the emperor."

The queen mother tightly squeezed her hands. If she had guessed before, she can be sure now.

The emperor really wanted to use her life to resolve the late emperor's resentment!Knowing the child is like the mother, the emperor came out of her stomach, how could she not see the emperor's thoughts?

What a poisonous heart!

The Empress Dowager's eyes were ruthless, and she suppressed that resentment in her heart.

She looked at Chen Daochang, and continued to ask in a gentle voice: "Chen Daochang, the life of the Ai family is not important, but the emperor is different, he is the lord of a country, if there is something wrong with him, I am afraid that the whole court will be unstable. If the State of Yan and the Huns lead their troops to invade our State of Chu, it will be even more devastating!"

"You must find a way to save the emperor!"

The Empress Dowager's voice was very earnest, and there were tears in her eyes. Anyone who looked at her would think that the Empress Dowager was a loving mother who was dedicated to the emperor.

Chen Daochang's expression relaxed a bit, just when he was about to speak, he saw that the door of Zhaixing Pavilion was pushed open forcefully, and Li Dehai stood at the door panting.

Behind Li Dehai, the emperor was walking in.

"Mother, why did you come to Chen Daochang?" The emperor looked at the queen mother disapprovingly, and sighed, "I know the grievances in your heart, this has already made Chen Daochang prepare to get rid of the father's grievances, why do you have to do it yourself?" Come out and ask?"

"Father's soul is everywhere, and there is no one available around you, in case something happens to you..." The emperor sighed, as if he was only planning for the queen mother.

If the Empress Dowager hadn't been familiar with the emperor's temperament, she would have been deceived by the image the emperor created on the surface.

And she has been with the emperor for decades, so she knows the emperor very well.

I'm afraid that the current emperor is already planning to get rid of her in his heart.

The queen mother is not a vegetarian either, once she has confirmed this guess in her heart, she will no longer have any feelings for the emperor.

At this moment, she sighed faintly, her old wrinkled face was full of panic and fear.

"The Ai family is really worried." The queen mother covered her heart and recalled the tragedy of Lin Nanny to the emperor.

"You didn't see it at the time, right under Aijia's nose, Mother Lin disappeared as a living person! Aijia saw with her own eyes that the flesh and blood on her body turned into blood, and finally turned into a dry bone!" The queen mother was talking, because of the fear in her heart, she squeezed the emperor's hand firmly, and said word by word, "Emperor, why do you think he is so cruel? Aijia and his husband and wife! Why would he... Why do you do this to Aijia?"

Even today, the queen mother has never regretted her choice back then.

The first emperor always remembered the dead Empress Yuan, and didn't care about her successor at all. He even regarded the first prince as his only flesh and blood. All were taught and selected by the emperor himself!

To this day, thinking of these things, the jealousy in her heart is still burning uncontrollably.

If she hadn't joined forces with Jiang Taifu back then, how could she have the glory and wealth she has today?

What she regrets is that she couldn't hold back the resentment in her heart, and even let the late emperor know what she had done. If she had been able to bear it at that time, it would definitely not be her who was tortured by the late emperor today!

While crying, the Queen Mother was thinking in her heart how she could escape this dead situation.

It was a certainty that the emperor wanted to attack her. I'm afraid it was just that he was not ready, so he never did it.

Thinking of the emperor's various actions, the empress dowager's eyes changed.

But when the emperor's eyes swept over her, her expression changed to what she had just now.

No one seemed to guess that she already knew the emperor's plan.

Seeing the Empress Dowager crying, the emperor had a look of disgust in his eyes.

When he was young, he also longed for maternal love, but today, he no longer needs these illusory things. The only function of the Empress Dowager to him is to appease the late emperor's resentment.

The mother and son stood in the Zhaixing Pavilion, although they didn't speak, but the undercurrent in it had already made Li Dehai feel uneasy.

Li Dehai cast a glance at Chen Daochang, but saw that Chen Daochang was resting with his eyes closed, turning a deaf ear to the undercurrent between the two.

Just at this time, a young eunuch walked in quickly from outside the door, and said eagerly: "It's not good! His Royal Highness is dying soon!"
