Chapter 91 The Situation in the Palace

The empress dowager sneered in her heart, the father and daughter really thought she was blind and blind.

Over the years, the Tai Tuo formed a clique for personal gain, embezzled the royal land, ruled out dissidents, suppressed upright courtiers, interacted with people in the world in private, hoarded power, did he think he could really catch her eyes?

If the outsiders hadn't been called by him, who would have dared to come to her palace to force them?

Especially now, the father and daughter are singing together, it seems that if she is not forced to make a decision today, she will not give up.

Thinking of this, the empress dowager covered her stomach, her face looking extremely painful.

Eunuch Sun hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "Queen Mother, what's the matter? Come on, send the imperial doctor!"

The queen glanced at it, stepped forward and asked, "Queen mother, did you eat too much today? Why don't you order someone to make you a cup of hawthorn malt water?"

The empress dowager frowned, gasping for breath, obviously getting more and more painful.

Eunuch Sun said: "Where did you eat too much? Is it a stomachache? Hey, my ancestors told you not to be too sad. The prince has gone, and you have to take care of your body. How can you not eat?"

Eunuch Sun's words were equivalent to satirizing the empress. The regent is dead, and the empress dowager can't even eat, how can she still eat?

The queen's complexion changed slightly, and she said respectfully: "Mother, my concubine will accompany you back to rest."

The Empress Dowager grabbed Eunuch Sun's hand, "Help Ai's family in. Except for the imperial doctor, no one from Ai's family will be seen."

Eunuch Sun got the order and helped her into the inner hall. Grand Tutor Liang and the queen looked at each other and peeked at each other.

Liang Taifu got up and said to the queen: "Your Majesty, take a step to talk."

The queen went out of the hall with him and hid under the locust tree in front of the porch.

"Father, what should we do? The empress dowager is unwilling to make such an order, how can Qiao'er supervise the country? How to exercise great power? Only when the empress dowager makes an edict can it be justified." The empress asked worriedly.

Liang Taifu said seriously: "She can hide, but today she can't hide tomorrow, this order will always be issued, unless she really wants to listen to the government behind the curtain, but she still has self-knowledge. It's not enough, so she has no other choice, at most it will be a stalemate for a day or two."

The queen was very puzzled, "I don't understand why she doesn't support Qiao'er in getting power? Could it be that she has someone else in mind?"

Mrs. Liang shook her head, "It's hard to say, she has always been dissatisfied with the prince, and if I guessed correctly, she still pinned her hopes on the emperor, and she also imagined that the emperor would wake up, and she trusted the regent too much. , thinking that the regent has no ambition to seize power. It can only be said that Murong Jie is too cunning and good at disguising to gain her trust. Since these days, the empress dowager has intentionally or unintentionally attacked the East Palace, in fact, it is to strengthen the regent position, so that the regent can guard the throne and wait for the emperor to wake up."

"But Murong Jie is dead." The queen lowered her voice, "Father, are you sure that Murong Jie is dead?"

Taifu Liang hesitated for a moment, with some doubts on his face, he said: "The minister received the letter that day and set up an ambush. Murong Jie fought with our people. Although he fought bloody, he escaped in the end, but It's very strange that a group of people appeared in the end, all of them are martial arts masters, and the minister's people saw Murong Jie stabbed several times with their own eyes, so judging from his injuries, he probably wouldn't survive."

The queen was very surprised, "A martial arts master? Who sent him out? Who else wants Murong Jie to die?"

The queen asked this question because most of the civil and military officials, and even the nobles in the palace, were afraid of his domineering power and did not dare to take action easily. And that night, the Taifu was able to set up an ambush only after receiving the news from the internal response, but where did the third group get the news? It's a good trick, the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind.

Liang Taifu shook his head, "I'm also puzzled. I really can't find the person who attacked Murong Jie in Beijing."

The queen was a little worried, but the current situation was too much to think about, "No matter what, he is dead, and then we have to let Qiao'er take over the power first, the empress dowager can't last long here, as you said, If you don’t agree today, you have to agree tomorrow.”

Liang Taifu's face was gloomy, "In the past two days, the ministers will lead hundreds of officials in front of the palace, forcing her not to agree."

The queen smiled slightly, "The future of the prince is entrusted to my father. Once the prince ascends the throne, our Liang family will enjoy wealth forever."

There was a cold light in Liang Taifu's small eyes, and he curled his lips into a smile, which was extremely cold, "Yes, our Liang family can enjoy eternal wealth and power."

After hearing this, the queen felt her heart tremble inexplicably. At that moment, she actually thought that her father had other plans.

However, she immediately felt that she was overthinking. For so many years, her father supported her to stabilize her position, and it was he who had always been behind her back to make suggestions to let the emperor confer Qiao'er as the crown prince. Deng Dabao's.

The prince and his party were kneeling outside, while the empress dowager was very anxious inside.

After the imperial doctor left, the empress dowager sat up, and said sadly, "What do you think? The Ai family really can't control the current situation. Do you want to go to Hanshan?"

Eunuch Sun comforted: "Queen Mother, don't worry, the regent is dead, no one has seen the body, and the body has disappeared again. Also, I heard that Xia Zian stole the body. Look, will there be any What inside story?"

The empress dowager looked at him, "You mean, Ah Jie faked his death?"

Eunuch Sun said: "I don't know, it's just that I feel that the regent Wang Fu is so fateful that it is impossible for him to die like this. Perhaps, he deliberately forced some people to show their fox tails. I think that there are still good things to do in the past few days." Look."

"Is there still a good show?" The empress dowager stretched out her hand to support her forehead, "The Ai family is really annoying, and no one will be seen."

Eunuch Sun helped her up, "Okay, then don't think about anything and take good care of your body."

The empress dowager took two steps, "Tell me, what's the fun?"

Eunuch Sun said: "Assuming that something happened to the regent, then there is almost no doubt that the crown prince supervises the country, but the concubine is really willing to hand over the power in her hand easily? Isn't there another Nan Huai?" King? Also, those empresses who have princes in the harem, don’t they get a piece of the pie right now? Behind every prince, there are a crowd of ministers, and the relatives are the big ones, queen mother!”

The empress dowager was terrified when she heard it. Eunuch Sun has always been a person who sees things thoroughly, so there is some truth to his analysis.

"go on."

Eunuch Sun continued, "Whether Taifu Liang is really the crown prince is still unknown, but the prime minister must support the crown prince. There have long been rumors in the market that the crown prince likes Xia Wan'er, and the prime minister is eager for Xia Wan'er to become the crown prince's concubine. Kingdom, it is equivalent to having the imperial power, and when she ascends the throne in the future, Xia Wan'er will be the queen, and the relative of the prime minister will become one person under one person and above ten thousand people."

"The Ai family will never let the crown prince marry Xia Wan'er." The empress dowager said coldly.

Eunuch Sun said: "If the Crown Prince doesn't marry Xia Wan'er, who will Prime Minister Xia help?"
