The seller of the heavens

"Queen!"

While everyone was talking, Princess Yunluo hurried into the hall.

Seeing the empress dowager sitting at the top, she let out a cry of joy, and immediately rushed up, holding the empress dowager's arm and asking:

"Mother, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's all up to your friends to help."

The queen mother touched Yun Luo's hair as she spoke.

"Jiang Chen is not only my friend, but also my master."

Princess Yunluo secretly glanced at Jiang Chen who was standing aside, and was also a little surprised in his heart, he didn't expect Jiang Chen and Gu Santong to have a reception with his mother so soon.

Recalling what Jiang Chen said to herself, she said to the Queen Mother coquettishly:

"Queen, my master and senior Gu have made such great contributions, you have to reward them properly."

The queen mother nodded slightly:

"They saved Aijia's life, so naturally they should be rewarded well. Jiang Daxia, Gu Daxia, what kind of reward do you want?"

The emperor also said generously:

"That's right, the two heroes did a great job in rescuing him, and they should indeed be rewarded."

Jiang Chen sent a voice transmission to Princess Yunluo, and said:

"My boy, you are so..."

After listening to Princess Yunluo, she leaned into the Queen Mother's ear and said in a low voice:

"Queen, I do know that Master has always wanted a treasure. If you can reward him with that treasure, he will definitely be satisfied."

The queen mother asked nonchalantly:

"Oh, yes, I don't know what kind of baby it is?"

She is the empress dowager, and there are so many rare treasures in the palace, it doesn't feel bad to give one to Jiang Chen, the lifesaver.

Princess Yunluo said in a low voice:

"Master, he wants to save someone, so he needs Tianxiang cardamom. I remember that my father gave you one back then."

"Here, Tianxiang Cardamom..."

When the queen mother heard this, she couldn't help showing a bit of distress on her face: the Tianxiang cardamom disappeared a few years ago, but after all, it was a treasure bestowed by the late emperor. She was worried that the late emperor would punish her, so she kept silent.

Seeing the Empress Dowager showing embarrassment, Princess Yunluo couldn't help asking:

"What's the matter, mother, you won't be reluctant, will you?"

"It's not, it's just..."

Princess Yunluo seemed not to notice the embarrassment on the Empress Dowager's face, and continued:

"By the way, you should have hidden the cardamom that day. You were taken away by assassins yesterday, and the palace was in chaos. I don't know if the treasure in your palace was stolen by someone in the chaos."

When the queen mother heard the words, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and an idea came to her mind. She said slowly:

"Don't worry, who is so brave to steal something in my palace. Since your master wants Tianxiang cardamom wholeheartedly, I will reward him with this thing."

She got up and said to the emperor:

"Yun Luo asked me for a reward on behalf of her master, I'll go get it."

The emperor: "Mother, let the maids handle this matter, why don't you do it yourself."

"No, only I know where this treasure is hidden."

As the queen mother said, she turned and left. After a while, she hurried back again, and said to the emperor with an ugly face:

"No, the heavenly fragrant cardamom that the emperor gave me is gone. I'm afraid it was stolen because of the chaos in the palace last night."

The emperor's face sank when he heard this, and he was furious:

"Who is so daring? Dare to steal in the palace, and what you steal is such a treasure."

After hearing this, Cao Zhengchun felt something was wrong. He had stolen the cardamom from the Queen Mother a few years ago, and the Queen Mother should have noticed it long ago, but now the Queen Mother said it was stolen last night.

Before he could think about it, Princess Yunluo said:

"Last night when we tracked down the assassin, only Eunuch Cao and his men entered the queen mother's bedroom. Eunuch Cao couldn't have done this, right?"

Cao Zhengchun's complexion changed when he heard the words, he groaned inwardly and fell to his knees with a thump, crying out:

"How could a slave have the guts to steal a national treasure? This matter must have been done by those assassins and has nothing to do with the slave."

Yun Luo nodded slightly:

"It's also possible that the assassin did it, but the assassin was able to break into the palace and kidnap the queen mother, so it was not because of your negligence, Eunuch Cao.

I heard that my master captured those two assassins alive.

I think Eunuch Cao must have a way to find out the whereabouts of Tianxiang Cardamom from their mouths, right? "

As a victim, the Empress Dowager also had resentment towards Cao Zhengchun. If it wasn't for Cao Zhengchun's ineffective guarding, she wouldn't have been taken captive to suffer.

Immediately said:

"You have three days to retrieve the Tianxiang cardamom, otherwise you will have to count the crime and punish it."

After Cao Zhengchun's complexion changed for a while, he finally had no choice but to kowtow:

"yes."

Seeing this scene from the side, Jiang Chen couldn't help laughing secretly, knowing that his plan had succeeded.

Although Cao Zhengchun's martial arts are high, but in the palace, he still has to be controlled by the imperial power. Under the current situation, if he doesn't want to be punished by the emperor and queen mother, he can only obediently hand over the Tianxiang cardamom.

He didn't have much confidence in this plan, and even prepared a second plan. Unexpectedly, with the assistance of Princess Yunluo, it was successfully completed in the end.

Afterwards, the emperor and the queen mother encouraged Jiang Chen a few more words, and they were ready to let everyone retreat, leaving the family of three to talk.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a resolute face walked into the hall. His facial features were carved like a knife and an axe, his eyes were shining brightly, and he was not angry and majestic.

Before Zhu Wushi had time to salute the Empress Dowager, he saw Gu Santong standing aside.

He has been investigating the whereabouts of Gu Santong for the past few days, but he has found nothing. He did not expect to see the figure of the other party in the Empress Dowager's bedroom. He was startled and asked sharply:

"Gu Santong, why are you here? What is your purpose in entering the palace?"

While speaking, his aura swept the entire hall like a volcanic eruption, and the surrounding air suddenly became extremely viscous and suffocating under his aura.

A wave of air then spread, and for a while there was a strong wind.

Windows trembled and rattled, screens moved sideways, curtains danced.

Jiang Chen stood beside Gu Santong, facing Zhu Wushi's domineering and oppressive aura, he felt as if he was carrying a huge mountain on his back, extremely heavy.

"Strong, too strong!"

Jiang Chen was amazed at Zhu Wushi's strength, and thought to himself, even if he used the Tathagata Palm, he might not be an opponent.

Zhu Wushi's internal power is too deep, as vast as the sea, far beyond what Jiang Chen can compare.

Although the emperor, the empress dowager, and Yun Luo stood a little far away, they were weak, and their feelings were stronger, and they felt like they couldn't breathe.

Seeing this, Cao Zhengchun quickly took a step forward, stopped in front of the three of them, and angrily scolded in a high-pitched voice:

"Shenhou, you are so courageous that you dare to act presumptuously in front of the emperor and the queen mother. Are you planning to rebel?"

Zhu Wushi also realized that he had lost his composure, quickly restrained his breath, and bowed to the emperor and queen mother to apologize:

"I ask the Queen Mother and the Emperor to forgive me. I have been rude. However, I am also worried that this person will harm the Emperor, so I..."

The queen mother frowned slightly, and said dissatisfiedly:

"This ancient hero is a hero who saved Ai's family, so how could he be detrimental to Ai's family and the emperor?"
