At this moment, Situ Mansion.

Situ and his son sat together.

"There has been no morning service for two days."

Situ Xuanran spoke. In front of him, the kit handed over by Situ Daer was placed on the table.

"Father, what you mean is that His Majesty has taken action?"

Situ Yuan pondered for a moment and asked.

Situ Xuanran nodded.

"That must be the case, I just don't know how long your Majesty can keep it secret. For your Majesty, time is everything.

Your Majesty must have bet on General Tianbao who led the army away. If General Tianbao can really destroy the White Lotus Sect within thirty days with the strength of three thousand men, he will return with success.

There is naturally a glimmer of hope.

But if it fails...

Yuan'er, it's time for our Situ family to be loyal.

But this is the best-case scenario.

I'm afraid, I can't wait for this day. "

Situ Xuanran looked in the direction of the palace.

The Queen Mother Zai was in the palace, could she hide it for so long?

difficult!

Difficult!

This is probably why Your Majesty asked Daer to take the risk.

The palace is deep and the walls are thick, which can always isolate countless news.

In Cining Palace, the Queen Mother Zai was sitting in front of the dressing table, letting the palace maid take care of her bun.

Although she is quite old, there are no wrinkles on her face. On the contrary, she is a bit more graceful and elegant than a young woman.

"Wang Zhen, that bitch, hasn't been to my Cining Palace for a few days."

The Queen Mother Zai spoke.

"His Majesty has been enthroned recently. I think there are many things going on in the palace. It will be time to come in a few days."

The palace maid behind her spoke cautiously.

"Um"

The Queen Mother Zai nodded, and then suddenly said:

"How many years have you been with me?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, I have been with you for five years." The palace maid replied.

"Five years is not a short period of time."

The Queen Mother Zai sighed.

"But after all this time, why haven't I noticed that you are a spy?"

Upon hearing this, the palace maid behind her narrowed her eyes.

"Queen Mother, I..."

Before she could finish speaking, the Queen Mother suddenly reached out and pinched the maid's neck.

Then she stood up without looking at the body on the ground.

"It's been so long. It seems like something happened with the emperor. Xiaoyanzi, go out of the palace and talk to Master Zai."

"Yes, Queen Mother." A response came from outside the palace.

Then, I heard hurried footsteps leaving quickly.

But the Queen Mother Zai herself turned around and walked into the inner hall.

Someone had already prepared a pool of hot water inside. Empress Dowager Zai took off her clothes, stepped into the pool, quietly closed her eyes and enjoyed it.

Suddenly, there was a slight tremor.

She didn't seem angry when someone touched her, and she didn't even open her eyes.

Just grab the bold one with one hand.

"No hurries."

"Why are you not in a hurry? Queen Mother, you are becoming more noble now..."

The Queen Mother Zai chuckled a few times.

"A lot of things seem to have happened in the palace recently."

"Wang Zhen is dead."

"Ok?"

The Queen Mother Zai opened her eyes.

"Did the emperor do it?"

"Two days ago, Wenhua Palace was under martial law. Wang Zhen took two third-grade eunuchs to Wenhua Palace and never came out."

"I didn't expect that the little bastard actually has such background."

Empress Dowager Zai gritted her teeth.

Suddenly he gasped slightly and said no more.

"As long as I'm here, it doesn't matter."

His voice was still calm, as if he didn't care about anything.

Then there was a splash of water, and only laughter remained.

At this time, outside Cining Palace, Eunuch Wei looked at the young eunuch in front of him.

"The people from Cining Palace went outside the palace?"

"Yes, ancestor, what I saw with my own eyes is absolutely true."

Eunuch Wei nodded, and then looked at Cining Palace. It seemed that the Queen Mother had finally come to her senses, but Que'er didn't send any news, fearing that something had happened.

With a cold light flashing in his eyes, Eunuch Wei jumped up and chased after the little eunuch.

A moment later, Eunuch Wei stood in front of Xiao Yanzi's body.

Beside him were several Xuanyu guards who had just stopped Xiao Yanzi. Although these Xuanyu guards had no loyalty at all, they could be put to some use now.

But Eunuch Wei didn't look at them.

Instead, he looked in the direction of Cining Palace.

"It seems that our family has to go to Cining Palace to take a look."

Afterwards, Wei Liao disappeared.

He wanted to visit Cining Palace at night to confirm the situation.

If it really comes to that point, I'm afraid we will have no choice but to kill the Queen Mother by force as planned.

But neither Zhou Yuan nor Wei Liao were willing to take this step.

Killing a minister is considered cruel, but killing the queen mother, even if she is not Zhou Yuan's biological mother, has such a reputation...

But no matter what.

This matter must not be leaked!

When Wei Liao visited Cining Palace at night, he did not forget to inform Zhou Yuan of the news.

Zhou Yuan was not surprised either.

The Queen Mother is not an idiot, this matter will be discovered sooner or later.

But the problem now is no longer the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was isolated and helpless in the deep palace, and he would be able to solve this problem sooner or later.

But looking at various memorials these days, he could feel how big the trouble Daqian was now.

There are three kingdoms surrounding Daqian, namely Dali, Dayuan and Wei.

Dali is a weak country, but before Yuwenwei broke through to the first level, the two sides had been fighting for more than ten years.

The Great Yuan and the Great Wei were even more powerful than Dali, but it was only the Great Qian who paid tribute year after year that maintained the situation.

But now, droughts and floods are occurring all over the country, and the people are already in dire straits. Otherwise, the White Lotus Sect would not be able to develop so fast. If the annual tribute is paid again, there will really be rebellions in the country.

Not to mention, he can't make the final decision in domestic affairs now.

Even just thinking about these things gave him a headache.

Just when he was thinking about how to break the situation, the palace door suddenly opened.

Zhou Yuan was about to get angry when his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Eunuch Wei!"

Wei Liao came from outside the palace with blood on his chest, his face was pale, and he was obviously seriously injured.

"What happened?"

Regardless of the shock, Zhou Yuan quickly helped Wei Liao sit down and closed the palace door.

I saw Wei Liao tapping himself a few times and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

After a full stick of incense, his pale face recovered.

Then he opened his mouth to explain:

"Your Majesty, this old slave is useless. I visited Cining Palace today and was discovered."

Zhou Yuan was still puzzled.

"You are a second-level warrior qi, and you also practice the Sunflower Manual. You can come and go without a trace. Even if you were discovered, how could you be so seriously injured!"

Wei Liao said helplessly:

“Your Majesty, we underestimated the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager Zai was not alone at all, there was actually a strong person hidden beside him.

If the old slave had been prepared, even if he was not an opponent, it would not be like this. Unfortunately, the old slave was careless and was secretly attacked by the master. "

Hearing this, Zhou Yuan's expression changed slightly.

"How strong is this person?"

Wei Liao gritted his teeth and said:

"On the second level, there is only one line away from the first level."

Zhou Yuan was stunned.

"How can she support a second-grade strong man!

In the second rank, even if he is placed in the Daqian, he is still a top powerhouse. If he enters the court and becomes an official, he will become powerful in an instant.

She lives in the harem and her power does not leave the palace, and gold and silver are not attractive to such powerful people. "

At this moment, Zhou Yuan was really shocked and angry.

Such a strong person instantly broke all his plans.
