C105

Empress Dowager Wei paused for a moment before saying, "You told This Dowager before that the opportunity to set up the Divine Battalion might fall into the hands of Prince Xin?" Although she lived in a secluded place in the Palace, she knew the happenings in the outside world like the back of her hand. It was not so much that half of the Zhou Dynasty was controlled by the Wei clan as that part of it was controlled by her.

"There is such a suspicion." Before Dongfang Jingyu could finish her sentence, Empress Dowager Wei asked, "What do you mean?"

"Although he has been with the messenger king for almost five years, he has not yet gained the full trust of the messenger king, so he has not yet heard anything about the Shen Ji Camp. All he knows is that the messenger king does indeed have an unknown force in his hands."

Empress Dowager Wei gave a noncommittal nod before shifting her gaze to Yin Qiu by her side. "What about you? You think so too?"

Yin Qiu knelt down in the shadow of the sun and said with her head lowered, "This servant doesn't dare to speak carelessly."

"If This Dowager wants you to say it, then just say it." Having heard Empress Dowager Wei's words, Yin Qiu thought for a long time before speaking, "This servant remembers that when I followed her to the Eastern Palace, Prince Xin was just born. It can be said that this servant watched him grow up; King Xin is a man of abundant knowledge, especially good at calligraphy, even the late emperor was quite impressed with his calligraphy. On the surface, he has an upright and intelligent character, but he believed in the birth of his mother. This servant does not think that His Majesty would pass down the opportunity camp to him. " Yin Qiu had the ability to become Empress Dowager Wei's concubine and, for the next thirty years, have her rely on her as her trusted confidant. One of them was her ability to be calm and meticulous, adept at analyzing the pros and cons.

"It's not the Trust King?" Dongfang Qian's face was filled with astonishment. He immediately shook his head and said, "But she clearly found out that there's always an expert protecting the messenger king from the shadows."

Yin Qiu slightly smiled. "Prince Xin established his residence at the age of sixteen, and now, he's thirty, fourteen years of effort, which is enough for him to cultivate his own kind of power. It's not strange for him to occasionally recruit a few experts.

Dongfang Ru thought about it for a moment and said, "Imperial Mother, do you also think that way?"

Empress Dowager Wei took a sip of the dark green tea and said unhurriedly, "Although the late emperor didn't place much importance on the Ancestor System, he wouldn't let the son of a muse ascend to the throne. Besides, he seemed humble on the surface, but he was actually arrogant and paranoid on the inside.

"So you're saying that the god's fate camp isn't in the hands of the messenger king?"

Empress Dowager Wei's eyes shone brightly. "Rather than keeping an eye on the king, His Majesty might as well pay more attention to King Mu."

"Ol'nine?" Dong Fang Qian was even more astonished than before. "How could it be him!"

"The Emperor forgot his origin?" Of all the princes, the one that the royal father was most fond of was neither him nor the King of Trust, but the Dongfang Ze.

"Emperor Xian …" Empress Dowager Wei stared into the void, a trace of hatred appearing between her brows. "The most biased towards them is the mother and son. If it wasn't for your uncles and cousins, King Mu would be sitting on the throne today."

"This son understands, but …" Dong Fang Qian thought for a moment. "Mother knows the temperament of Ol 'Nine. He acted recklessly and impulsively, and now that the Zhou Dynasty has been handed over to him, it will definitely fall apart and fall apart."

Yin Qiu held up a jade hairpin by Empress Dowager Wei's bun. "This servant's opinion is slightly different from His Majesty's. Although Prince Mu is a bit young, he has to be nurtured personally by the late emperor. Among the ten princes, he's the most similar to the late emperor, while the late emperor …" This has nothing to do with being reckless. Your Majesty, you should think about it more carefully. "

That's right, when royal father was still alive, Dongfang Ze's character wasn't as hasty as it is now. Could it be … Was this the smoke he used to deceive people? If that was really the case, then Dongfang Ze's thoughts were extremely tight.

"Does the Emperor know what to do now?"

Dong Fang Qian regained his senses, cupped his hands and said: "Your son understands, please be at ease mother."

Empress Dowager Wei nodded. Her delicate and white hand, like a young girl's, stroked the hem of her royal blue dress as she lightly said, "Only by finding the God's opportunity camp can we put an end to all future troubles. Only then can your throne truly be secured." After a pause, she continued, "Those people Yin Qiu mentioned just now, if you think it's necessary, you can use them however you want."

"Yes." As Eastern Ru replied, Empress Dowager Wei supported Yin Qiu's hand and helped him to her feet. Before leaving, she remembered something. "How's things in the West Chu?"

"Although South Zhao has been annihilated, its citizens' resistance will be very intense. Right now, only twenty to thirty percent of the areas controlled by the West Chu are still resisting; the last time I heard from Seventh Brother, Mu Linfeng had already secretly returned to South Zhao and was preparing to gather the veterans and civilians. Whether he succeeds or or not, the subsequent conflict will only become more intense. My son estimates that the West Chu will not be able to completely control the South Zhao for at least five years."

"Yes." Empress Dowager Wei stroked the beads of gold and gems that Mu Qianxue had delivered to her wrist. After pondering for a moment, she said, "Have someone go check on Mu Qianxue in the West Chu."

Dongfang Zexuan disapprovingly said, "My son personally tried Mu Qianxue. He boasted that he was smart, but was actually incredibly stupid. Xiao Ruo's arrogance shouldn't have anything to do with her."

"It's never wrong to be cautious. Also, you have to keep an eye on King Rui. Don't let him join Ninth Brother at that time." Her wariness was even greater than that of Dong Fang.

She waited for Dong Kuan to respond before walking away slowly. From behind, she could see the blue train of the dress winding around. Large dark striped peonies were faintly discernible between the skirts.

The Wei family relied on their exceptional scheming and patience. After three dynasties, they were still standing, enjoying the highest honor in the world. They were like an everlasting peony in the palace.

However, there are no eternal dynasties in this world, nor are there truly ungrateful peonies. On this day … It would eventually come!

Twilight slowly descended from the sky like a pair of giant wings, engulfing the blood-red sunset. Only a few faint colors that had yet to be devoured were faintly discernible on the horizon.

As soon as Dongfang Qin stepped into the Mu Mansion, Dongfang Ze received the news and came out. When he saw that he was alone, he said in a low voice, "Seventh Brother, why haven't you seen the princess yet?"

"I alone will be enough to handle this matter. The princess' relationship in this matter …" Dongfang Yi stopped and said seriously, "You are not allowed to mention this to anyone!"

"Why?"

"No need to ask, just do as I say. Otherwise, even if it's you, I won't be polite with you!"

Seeing that he was unwilling to speak, Dongfang Ze could only shrug and say, "Fine." In fact, he did not intend to tell anyone about what had happened yesterday.
