The look in Cheng Yunyi's eyes when he left was too complicated. Chu Yun couldn't understand it, let alone understand the meaning of his words.
But she soon put that behind her.
As Cheng Yunyi thinks, Chu Yun wants to go to the imperial city. Cheng Yunyi doesn't want to tell her the truth, so she goes to her father.
At the same time, envoys from other four countries and ten places are also on their way.
As the center of the storm.
The imperial palace of the empire is peaceful and peaceful, all because of a woman, that is, the Empress Dowager of the Empire today.
Yun Ying.
Now she was sitting on the soft couch with a kind face.
"You all go down."
Behind her, there is also a woman wearing a veil. She is tall, and her beautiful face behind the veil makes her stand out like a lotus.
It was she who was speaking.
Her voice is very cold, but it is tender and pitiful.
This is a very contradictory feeling.
"Xiangxiang, go and have a rest, too."
"Yes, Madame."
Outside Yunyang palace, the queen is coming by the moon.
Eight palace maids led the way with wind lamps.
But they were stopped outside by the maids of Yunyang palace.
"The Empress Dowager is going to have a rest. Please come back."
"Please tell me that there is something important in our palace to see the Empress Dowager."
The queen didn't put on airs.
The mother, who had been on the vigil, looked at her a few times, then hurried in, and happened to meet the woman in the veil.
"I have seen Princess Xiangxiang."
The old lady saluted her and then told her what the queen was coming for.
"Don't disturb your mother. I'll go out and have a look."
"Yes." This mammy has been with the empress dowager, and Xiangxiang princess has grown up with her.
Knowing that she could be the master, she did not go in to ask the Empress Dowager.
The moon was dim, and thin smoke came down, covering the whole palace.
The queen, dressed in plain clothes, stood under the pavilion.
When Xiangxiang appeared, their eyes were opposite.
"Empress thousand years old, the empress has already rested. If you have something to do, please come back tomorrow."
Xiangxiang came forward and bowed her knees.
The posture is calm and moderate.
"Who are you?" The queen narrowed her eyes slightly. She had never seen this woman before.
"I thought the queen would ask, when will the empress meet you?"
"Go back."
Xiang Xiang said this without thinking and left.
The queen stood where she was for a long time.
Heart not only surprised, but also with fear, this woman is too unusual.
There is no sound of footstep when walking. How deep skill can it be.
She asked herself that she knew more about the Empress Dowager than the Emperor today, but she didn't know that there were such experts around her.
When the queen returns to Zhonggong, she meets Cheng Yunyi.
"I thought you wouldn't come back."
Cheng Yunyi chuckles, but his eyes are more or less helpless.
"I'm here to ask for something." Cheng Yunyi straight mouth way, let the queen some surprise.
She tapped the table with her finger and asked for a long time.
"Don't you understand that I'm in danger now?"
"You mean the old lady of the Empress Dowager?"
The queen chuckled. "I didn't expect that there were people in the Imperial Palace who dared to call her like this."
"I'm just telling the truth."
"Come on, let's get down to business."
The queen frowned, and her face sank.
"Huang Cheng was washed with blood this time. Others don't know what happened. You don't know who did it, do you?"
Cheng Yunyi didn't expect that she would talk about it.
"You know, I've gone to do other things. I'm not here recently, so I really don't know."
"Is it..."
All of a sudden, Cheng Yunyi looked at the empress in surprise, "you don't say it's the empress dowager, do you?"
The queen said nothing with a smile and poured a cup of tea for herself.
But when the cup came to her mouth, she didn't drink it.
"Why did she do that? What's in it with her? "
Cheng Yunyi's mind is inexplicable. Looking at the woman in front of him, he thought she was crazy enough, but he didn't expect a more crazy one.
The queen will destroy a dynasty for a man.
But in Cheng Yunyi's opinion, it's more or less a small fight, but the Empress Dowager is a ruthless person. As soon as she comes up, she directly flattens the two forces that support the third prince and the eldest prince.
It's not so much to tie their power as to consume the fruits of the Empire."You two are terrible. One is killing people in the front and the other is finishing for you in the back."
Cheng Yunyi is frightened and feels that he is working with the queen for the skin of a tiger.
"You don't really think she's helping me, do you?"
"Otherwise, even if I'm outside, I've heard that you have a lot to do with the Empress Dowager."
Cheng Yunyi has always felt that the queen is cruel and desperate.
The most important thing is that she is too mysterious. There are many talented people around her, but her background is so simple that people can see through at a glance. Where do these people come from?
"The relationship is not shallow, ha ha, that's right. Don't you always want to know who has been helping me behind my back?"
Now it's not necessary for the queen to say that Cheng Yunyi also understands.
"She is the Empress Dowager of the Empire. Why did she do that?"
The queen shook her head.
"I'm not even a dog to her. How can I know these things?"
The queen drank the tea to her mouth, and then put down the cup heavily.
"I know what you're going to do. How about we make a deal?"
Cheng Yunyi sits upright and looks up at her, squinting slightly.
"Don't make such a fuss. You've been hiding in the imperial city for such a long time. First you catch up with the Jiangnan king, and then you go in and out of the Rui palace. What's your purpose? Isn't that confusing? Do you think you've been around for so long and no one can find out about you? "
The queen threw out a word lightly.
But it makes Cheng Yunyi tremble.
"You don't have to be wary of me. I know these things. If I can find them, it means that the people behind me also know them."
"So, what do you want to say?" Chen Yun also knows that this woman never fights an uncertain battle.
Everyone around her is to make the best use of everything and squeeze out the last value.
"Of course, I want to save my life, you and me."
Cheng Yunyi is not willing to cooperate with her.
"If I leave here from now on, what can she do to me? Why should I cooperate with you? If I guess correctly, the next thing the Empress Dowager wants is your life, right
"Will you? Will you be willing to leave here? "
Cheng Yunyi shrugged and sat down again.
"If you want to cooperate, show some sincerity."
"What do you want?"
Cheng Yunyi said without hesitation, "what are the women in the palace fighting for power all their lives for?"
"Don't forget that she is now the Empress Dowager. What else is worth her planning for so long?"
This is what the queen never thought. She didn't think so much about cooperating with the Empress Dowager.
It should be said that no one would have thought that the Empress Dowager could control the government. After all, the Empress Dowager is still alive and the emperor is so young.
"That's for you to find out."
"How can you save my life?"
Cheng Yunyi sneered and said, "I thought the empress had long ignored life and death."
"It's one thing for me to want to die. If others want my life, I'll make her peel even if I die."
Cheng Yunyi did not laugh at her.
"In two days, when I find out something, I'll tell you a piece of news. At the critical moment, maybe I can save your life."
The two reached a preliminary agreement.
Queen asked Cheng Yunyi to see her so-called what, Cheng Yunyi did not tell her.
Just not yet.
There is room for each other.
Many people didn't fall asleep this night.
The Empress Dowager is now in a state of six minds. She walks around the palace and refuses to sleep. From time to time, she asks people to go out and ask for information.
The next mammy advised several times, but it didn't work.
"Empress dowager, don't worry about it. The emperor has his own good fortune. It will be OK."
They say these words several times a day.
"What about the prince? Why haven't you come yet? "
The Empress Dowager originally preferred the third prince, but since the emperor was seriously ill, what the third prince and the eldest prince did was quite different, which made the Empress Dowager feel cold.
Now it is convenient for the prince to discuss.
The most important thing is that she has reached an agreement with the queen of the six palaces.
It was the United Front, but what she didn't expect was that the Empress Dowager would suddenly return to the palace.
All of a sudden, the palace, where everything was going well, seemed to be thrown into a bomb.
The whole empire changed dramatically because of the return of the Empress Dowager.
The prince came in in a hurry.
"What's the matter with grandmother inviting her grandson to come so late?"
Although the eldest prince was not in the palace when he was young, he knew these people in the palace. Later, under the guidance of his mother, he gradually adapted to his identity.Although he was forced to go all the way by others, at this stage, he is hard to ride a tiger.
What's more, his biological father's whereabouts are still unknown.
He was even more worried.
"Come on, don't salute. Come and sit down."
Empress Dowager impatiently waved back all servants and took Chu Jiyao to sit down.
"Grandmother..."
What puzzled the prince was that he had been sitting here for a long time, but the Empress Dowager didn't say a word, didn't know what he was thinking, and looked extremely complicated.
So he called her softly.
After all, it was late at night, so it was inconvenient for him to stay in the harem for a long time.
"There's something, I think, I should tell you."
The Empress Dowager sighed, as if she had made some important decision.
Chu Jiyao slightly frowned, subconsciously raised his ears, he felt that this matter is extraordinary.
"Grandmothers, you say, grandsons listen."
The Empress Dowager looked around and finally spoke in a low voice.
"In fact, your father has been missing for nearly a year."
"What?" Chu Jiyao fiercely stood up and looked at the Empress Dowager inconceivably.
"Isn't he sick, father, and hidden by the queen?"
Outsiders don't know the truth, but he does.
