The King of Liang, the feudal lords outside the town, and the generals inside

Princess Zhaoning shook her head, "Zhaoning just heard the Queen Mother ordering Cen An with her own ears. There is no evidence. But the emperor can go and investigate. If Zhaoning's words are false, Zhaoning will let the emperor take care of him!"

"Squeak" sounded, the palace door was slowly pushed open, and the Empress Dowager stepped in slowly, "Being a king is a death penalty, Aijia sees you as a madman, for a Yan Xun, you dare to slander Aijia like this , There is really no cure!"

"I'm not talking nonsense! If you are not guilty, let the emperor investigate!" Zhao Ning gritted his teeth.

The Queen Mother slapped her across the face again, "Dare to talk to Aijia like this, are you dying?!"

Princess Zhaoning received two slaps one after another, and bright red blood dripped from the corner of her lips. She covered half of her face without flinching, and only raised her head to stare at the Queen Mother hatefully.

After a while, she bowed to the ground three times, and said solemnly: "When the emperor first ascended the throne, the chaos of King Zhaowu was caused by the fact that King Zhaowu and the commander of the Imperial Palace Imperial Army colluded with each other. King Zhaowu led the troops and went straight to the Chongming Palace, almost killing the emperor. If it wasn't for Yan Xun's desperate protection, the person sitting in the court hall must be someone else! The commander of the forbidden army is known as the inner ghost, as everyone knows, the real inner ghost is someone else!"

Before she could say a word, a layer of frost appeared on the face of the emperor and the empress dowager.Thinking about that chaos to this day still makes everyone feel lingering fears, and it is easy to mention it.

The emperor took a deep breath and asked, "Who is it?"

Princess Zhaoning knelt on the ground, looked up slowly, and finally fell on the Queen Mother's face, pointed out, "It's her, Queen Mother!"

The air was as silent as stagnant water, and everyone almost forgot whether they were still breathing.The veins on the Empress Dowager's forehead were swollen, her face was slightly distorted, and there was still a cold smile on her lips, which made people shudder.

The emperor tried his best to keep his voice calm, but his hands trembled slightly behind his back.

"Zhaoning, don't talk nonsense."

Princess Zhaoning smiled happily and said slowly: "King Zhaowu is Zhaoning's elder brother, and Zhaoning knows everything about him. At the beginning, Yan Xun and Shen Qing forced the queen mother to retreat to the harem. Returning power to the emperor, although the queen mother handed over power under pressure, whoever once held the supreme power in the world would willingly hand it over to others? Even if it is her son, she is not very willing! The queen mother It's just an old woman in the harem, how can there be a female emperor! So she contacted Zhaoning's elder brother, King Zhaowu, and the commander of the imperial army, and let them make a fuss, broke into the palace and killed the emperor's brother, so she was logical Get back everything she wants!"

Princess Zhaoning's delicate and beautiful face was covered with a gloomy and cold light at this moment, she lay on the ground laughing non-stop, like crazy, "I didn't expect that, after all the calculations, I missed the face!" Xunhui came to save her, and she lost everything! So the queen mother hates her, she hates Yan Xun to death! Not because of Yan Xun's military power, nor because of Yan Xun's temper, but because Yan Xun saved her son HAHA! How ridiculous!"

The wind broke in wantonly through the half-open windows, rampaging, like cold slaps mercilessly slapping people's faces.The queen mother was startled and angry, her body trembling, "You, you..."

The emperor's figure was almost frozen, and he moved towards the queen mother little by little, his voice was not a trace of warmth, "Queen mother, is what she said true?"

The queen mother looked straight at the emperor and said: "Ai's family is your biological mother. She gave birth to you in October, how could she harm you! If you believe her instigation like this, you really have no conscience!"

The blue veins on the temples jumped up, the emperor's breathing became heavier and heavier, and his expression clearly believed, "Yes, I remembered, after Yan Xun killed King Zhaowu, I should have rewarded him for his rescue. Merit. But the queen mother told me that Yan Xunjun killed the prince rudely before, and it was his duty to save him, so not only did he have no merit, but he also had faults, so I insisted on belittling him."

The queen mother was stunned for a moment, she felt guilty for a moment, and soon she came back to her senses, her eyes were sharp, "The Ai family is afraid that Yan Xun will take credit for his pride, and the emperor's legacy of raising a tiger! The emperor doesn't believe his mother, but keeps talking to outsiders, what is the Ai family's fate?" If you did something wrong, you will be suspected by the emperor!"

"What did the queen mother do wrong, can I still use the son to explain it? The son just doesn't understand. The son has never treated the mother badly, and has been filial for many years. Why can't the mother rest in the harem to live in peace? A lot of government interference? If it weren't for the mother's empress doing those dirty things again and again, I wouldn't be so tired now!"

The queen mother took a deep breath and sneered again and again, "This is the good son of the Ai family! What you mean is that the old woman of the Ai family is redundant and an eyesore. What the Ai family says and does is wrong." Yes, isn’t it? You can’t wait for Ai’s family to go with the late emperor, so you can relax, right?!”

Princess Zhaoning knelt on the ground and squinted at her, "The queen mother doesn't have to talk about him, and use the so-called filial piety to suppress the emperor's brother. If the queen mother has a clear conscience, why not directly answer the emperor's brother, did you conspire with King Zhaowu to assassinate him?" !"

The Queen Mother turned her head to look at Princess Zhaoning, with gloomy fire in her eyes, "You keep saying that the Ai family conspired with your brother, what evidence do you have?"

Princess Zhaoning gave a "puchi" smile, which sounded particularly clear in the heavy atmosphere of the hall, "Is the queen mother afraid that Zhaoning will not find evidence? To tell you the truth, the queen mother had already prepared an attack before King Zhaowu assassinated him." The imperial decree is naturally a coercive edict. It says that because the first emperor died young and had only one son under his knees, the imperial brother felt that the world is impermanent, so he left this edict. Hand over the government to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will choose the next monarch."

The empress dowager's eyes were devouring, like a nail nailed to Princess Zhaoning.

Princess Zhaoning raised her face and smiled uncontrollably, "The empress dowager destroyed that false edict after the incident failed. But what the empress dowager did not expect was that the edict had already been stolen by my elder brother, and the empress dowager destroyed it. It's a coercive edict! My elder brother did this to give himself a retreat. If he didn't succeed, he could use this to threaten the Queen Mother to save her life. But I didn't expect Yan Xun to kill him directly in the Chongming Palace. The edict is useless. To this day, the Jiaozhao is in Zhaoning's hands!"

Princess Zhaoning's frantic gaze focused on the Queen Mother.She was too anxious when she got up, she accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt, staggered and threw herself in front of the queen mother, staring at her and said: "The imperial edict is written in the emperor's handwriting, and there is the emperor's jade seal, who can write the imperial edict?" Is it so true? Is it Zhaoning? Does the emperor believe it? If it is my elder brother, why did he go to the extra trouble to make an edict, and also write that the government is handed over to the Queen Mother? The throne is handed over to others? Anyone with eyes can understand how it is!"

After hearing this, the Queen Mother involuntarily took a step back like thunder, and her ears were buzzing.

The emperor's eyes were red, his complexion changed again and again, and the muscles around his cheeks twitched slightly, as if a stormy sea was undulating under his flesh.He said word by word: "Where is the Jiaozhao?"

Zhaoning bent his knees and said, "The Jiaozhao has been hidden by Zhaoning close to his body. Please allow Zhaoning to enter the inner room to take out the Jiaozhao."

The emperor couldn't remember that Baiyu and Wanwan were still in the inner room at all, so he nodded, and Bai Yu hurriedly picked up Wanwan and hid it in the closet.

The Jiaozhao was sewn into the clothes by Zhaoning. She went into the inner room and took off the clothes, bit the end of the thread with her teeth, and took out the Jiaozhao and handed it to the emperor.

The emperor held the edict for a long time and looked at it, his expression was as calm as the sea before the storm, without a single wave rising.

His mother wanted to kill him.

There was a tearing pain in the internal organs, spreading to the limbs and bones, gouging out the lungs and gouging out the heart, as if someone was holding a sharp blade and slashing open his body fiercely. He saw it with his own eyes.

There was a long silence, the emperor's voice was extremely soft, and it took a lot of effort to spit out the words, "The empress dowager is suddenly ill and sent back to the Palace of Compassion. , whoever dares to go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to disturb the Empress Dowager's rest will be killed."

"Emperor..." The Empress Dowager almost gasped, her lips quivered for a long time before she could speak, "You are so..."

The corners of the emperor's eyes shone brightly, and he continued: "Also, for the health of the empress dowager, all the maids, eunuchs, and guards in the Palace of Compassion and Peace were replaced by another batch. Lan Yan, the empress dowager's close maid, He and Lanxi, who were not diligent in serving the Queen Mother, caused the Queen Mother to be sick without realizing it, and were executed together. Chanjuan and Su'e beside me are smart and smart, so I can rest assured that they will serve the Queen Mother around."

The Empress Dowager pointed at the emperor with one hand trembling, and covered her heart with the other hand, panting rapidly, like a dilapidated bellows, trembling with a huff, and finally fainted on the ground out of strength.

The emperor frowned, and said indifferently: "Come here, send the queen mother back and pass on the imperial doctor."

The emperor retreated the crowd, and the hall fell silent again. Bai Yu calmed down and asked Wanwan to stay in the inner room quietly, then quietly walked out and walked to the emperor's side.

The emperor didn't speak, his eyes were so cold that his whole body felt cold in the hot summer.Bai Yu then didn't speak, and silently accompanied him.

The emperor's eyes didn't know where to look, and he asked wearily: "Li Guang, what should I do?"

Bai Yu was speechless.
