"Your Majesty, I don't know this fake Princess Lixiu at all, so how can I collude with you?"

"Your Majesty, the veteran's old eyes are dim, and he was blinded by the fake Princess Lixiu for a while."

"Your Majesty, the veteran is loyal and will never dare to harm the Emperor."

"Your Majesty, this Li Yao is avenging his own personal revenge."

"..."

All of a sudden, those courtiers who had arrogantly framed Li Yao earlier knelt in front of Zhengde, begging for mercy.

Among these people, some belonged to Cao Zhengchun.

So, Cao Zhengchun quickly said: "Your Majesty, these people were also temporarily deceived by the fake Princess Lixiu..."

Li Yao interrupted: "Eunuch Cao, you plead on behalf of these people, do you also have a part in colluding with the fake Princess Lixiu in order to harm the emperor?"

Cao Zhengchun quickly knelt down and expressed his loyalty to Zhengde: "Your Majesty, this servant is loyal to the Emperor and never dares to have second thoughts."

Zhengde knew that Li Yao was taking the opportunity to retaliate, but he did not dare to offend Li Yao.

Besides, Li Yao's suspicion is not unreasonable.

These people had unanimously targeted Li Yao before, as if it had been discussed in advance, and there must be someone behind it.

The chief envoy is probably Cao Zhengchun, maybe the emperor's uncle Zhu ignored it too.

It seems that Li Yao's appearance really made Cao Zhengchun and the emperor's uncle fearful.

However, if he handed these people over to Li Yao, Li Yao's power would grow stronger and stronger.

Therefore, he was in a dilemma for a while and didn't know what to do.

Alas, being the emperor is really tiring!

It's not as easy and fun as raising tigers and leopards.

Just when Zhengde was having a hard time making a decision, suddenly a eunuch shouted loudly outside: "The Queen Mother is here!"

"Empress?! Empress is back?"

Zhengde was overjoyed and couldn't help standing up.

With the support of Lu Xiaochuan, the Empress Dowager walked into the hall.

Afterwards, two people followed, namely Bai Sanniang and Guo Juxia.

Zhengde hurriedly left the dragon chair, greeted him, supported the Queen Mother, and asked with concern: "Queen Mother, are you okay?"

The queen mother shook her head slightly, and said with a smile: "The Ai family is fine."

A eunuch had already arranged a chair beside the Dragon Chair, and the Empress Dowager sat beside Zhengde.

At the same time, Bai Sanniang and Guo Juxia walked to Li Yao's side.

Bai Sanniang lowered her voice and said to Li Yao: "When we were rescuing the Queen Mother, someone suddenly released a poisoned arrow. Fortunately, Lao Guo found out that the Queen Mother survived, but the fake Karasuma was hit by the poisonous arrow and died. Arrows, but they all committed suicide by biting poison, we were worried about your safety, so we took the queen mother and rushed to the palace as soon as possible."

"The fake Karasuma was silenced?"

Li Yao couldn't help but glance at Zhu Wushi.

Obviously, after Zhu Wushi learned that the fake Karasuma was taken away by him, he split into two groups.

On the one hand, they arranged for fake Lixiu and Wen Chen to frame him for offending Princess Lixiu, and on the other, they sent someone to kill the fake Karasuma.

This Zhu ignores, it really is meticulous in his actions, and his methods are clean.

Now that the fake Lixiu and the fake Karasuma are all dead, no one can testify that he is related to the kidnapping of the Queen Mother.

Really well done!

Chapter 156 Tianxiang Cardamom, Loyal Eunuch Cao

Li Yao had to admire Zhu Wushi. After doing bad things, he wiped his butt clean, making it hard for people to catch him.

After the queen mother sat down, she glanced at the kneeling courtiers, and asked Zhengde, "My lord, what are you discussing?"

Zhengde quickly narrated what happened before.

After listening to the Queen Mother, she pondered for a moment and said:

"As a member of the harem, the Ai family should not have interfered in court affairs."

"However, this time Ai's family was robbed by the fake Princess Lixiu and the fake Karasuma, and almost died at the hands of the traitor."

Hearing this, a group of courtiers were all taken aback, they didn't expect the Queen Mother to be kidnapped.

Moreover, she was kidnapped by the fake Princess Lixiu.

They immediately thumped in their hearts.

Before, they also framed Li Yao together with the fake Princess Lixiu.

This time the yellow mud fell into their crotch, and it was either flying or flying.

This time, they were killed miserably by Zhu Wushi and Cao Zhengchun.

Sure enough, the queen mother continued to say:

"Fortunately, Lord Li's subordinates arrived in time and rescued Ai's family."

"Without any verification, these people indiscriminately joined together to frame Mr. Li. There must be something strange in it."

"So, Aijia felt that if these people were handed over to Jin Yiwei for interrogation, the truth would definitely be found out."

Hearing this, many courtiers were so frightened that they wet their pants.

Where is Jinyiwei?

That is a place that eats people without spitting out their bones.

Entering Jinyiwei, even if you don't die, you have to shed a layer of skin.

They are not unyielding loyal ministers.

They are just lackeys attached to Zhu Wushi or Cao Zhengchun.

Of course they are afraid of death.

Of course they were not willing to be taken away by Jin Yiwei.

So, one by one, they asked their master for help.

However, this time it was the empress dowager who spoke, the emperor attached great importance to filial piety, and Zhu ignored the matter just now.

Therefore, Cao Zhengchun and Zhu Wushi were very consistent. They both chose to turn a blind eye, listen and not hear, and treated these pawns as abandoned children, regardless of them.

These people are just little pawns in their hands.

No more, you can find another chess piece.

Moreover, the confessions made by these people alone cannot shake their current status.

Therefore, Cao Zhengchun and Zhu Wushi were not worried.

Zhengde spoke when he saw the queen mother.

Therefore, he no longer hesitated, and decreed to hand over these courtiers to Jin Yiwei.

After hearing this, a group of courtiers immediately collapsed to the ground like dead dogs.

The Jin Yiwei brought by Bai Sanniang and others immediately entered the hall and dragged these people away.

The Empress Dowager looked at Li Yao, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Li Qing's family, you have contributed a lot to the Ai family's being saved this time. Whatever reward you want, just say it, and the Ai family will definitely satisfy you as much as possible."

Cao Zhengchun said in a strange way: "Yes, Commander Li saved the queen mother this time, and he made a lot of contributions. What reward do you want? Tell me, the queen mother will definitely satisfy you."

Li Yao glanced at Cao Zhengchun, and his heart moved.

Immediately, he said: "Queen Mother, can you make everyone else step down?"

Both the Queen Mother and Zhengde were stunned for a moment, not understanding what Li Yao was going to do.

However, the queen mother still waved her hand and ordered: "It's getting late, you all go back to rest."

Zhu Wushi, Bai Sanniang and others had no choice but to resign.

Cao Zhengchun was also preparing to leave together.

Li Yao said, "Eunuch Cao, please stay."

Cao Zhengchun was taken aback for a moment, then smiled uneasily and said, "Could it be that Commander Li is planning to share half of the queen mother's reward with the governor?"

Li Yao saw that Zhu ignored him and walked away, so he said, "Queen Mother, forget it, I'm afraid that what I want will embarrass Eunuch Cao."

Cao Zhengchun's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Li Yao was planning on him?

The Queen Mother immediately became curious, and asked: "I don't know what Li Qing's family wants, but it will embarrass Eunuch Cao. Could it be that Eunuch Cao has what Li Qing's family wants?"

Li Yao nodded and said, "The Queen Mother guessed right."

Zhengde was also aroused by curiosity, and asked: "What did Li Aiqing like in Eunuch Cao's? If it is not very precious, I will ask Eunuch Cao for it and give it to Li Aiqing."

Cao Zhengchun's face suddenly became very ugly.

Before Li Yao said anything, the emperor begged for Li Yao.

This is too bullying an honest person!

Li Yao smiled and said, "Actually, what I want originally belonged to the Queen Mother."

Cao Zhengchun thumped slightly.

Immediately, he guessed what Li Yao wanted.

"what?"

The queen mother was surprised, she couldn't imagine that she had something in Cao Zhengchun's hands.

She hurriedly said: "Li Qing's family, don't play tricks on me anymore, tell me quickly, what exactly is it that you want?"

Li Yao said lightly: "Tianxiang cardamom."

Heavenly Cardamom!

The Empress Dowager's face immediately changed drastically.
