Seeing that the empress dowager had made up her mind, the Prime Minister Wei could only obey and leave the Tzu Ning Palace with a bow.

After nightfall, the Nanny Qiu helped the empress dowager enter the secret room.

When Wei Qing heard the voice, she raised her eyes to look at the empress dowager and was startled.

"Why is Esteemed Empress Dowager here?"

The empress dowager indicated that the Nanny Qiu should leave first, and her gaze towards Wei Qing was deep.

Wei Qing couldn't help but feel that something big had happened.

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, if you have anything, just go straight to the point."

The empress dowager sighed. "Wei Qing, how is the emperor?"

Wei Qing shook her head, "Esteemed Empress Dowager, even though I have consecutively consumed several Hundred Poison Pill and the Emperor's pulse has indeed improved, his pulse is still very weak."

The empress dowager nodded. "Wei Qing, I hope you won't have any burdens. Use all your heart on the emperor."

Wei Qing listened quietly, nodding from time to time.

After the empress dowager finished speaking, she looked deeply at Old Emperor, then shifted her gaze onto Wei Qing's face. "This Dowager will go up first."

Watching the empress dowager's departure, Wei Qing had a nagging feeling that something was off. Just as the door to the secret room was about to close, Wei Qing quickly chased after the empress dowager.

Because Wei Qing had a small amount of Inner Qi in her body, her speed was naturally extremely fast.

After clearly seeing Nanny Qiu kicking out the protrusion at the entrance of the secret room, the two of them came out, and Wei Qing immediately hid herself.

After confirming that the two had indeed left the secret room, Wei Qing crept to the door of the room and pressed against it to listen. There was no sound from anywhere, she kicked the bulge at the door.

The door of the secret room slowly opened, and Wei Qing quietly walked out.

There were whispers, Wei Qing held her breath and listened quietly.

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, don't worry, Prime Minister Wei is not a fence-sitter like you. With Prime Minister Wei watching, the Crown Prince will not dare to lay his hands on you." Nanny Qiu helped the empress dowager massage her legs.

Wei Qing's breathing stagnated as she raised her hand to tightly cover her mouth.

Could something have happened to Ah Qian?

Thinking that the empress dowager would appear in the secret room today, with a face full of hesitation and desire to speak, Wei Qing confirmed her guess.

The empress dowager sighed heavily. "In the end, he is a subject, a crown prince. Even if there is this royal decree, if the crown prince insists on doing something, I'm afraid the Prime Minister Wei will not be able to hold on for long! "

Today, the crown prince held onto his imperial decree as he rushed into the Tzu Ning Palace with bloodshot eyes. She knew that this matter wouldn't drag on for long.

After she finished speaking, only the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard. Wei Qing quickly rushed to the front of the empress dowager because she was too worried about her and had even forgotten her manners.

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, what's wrong with Ah Qian? What happened? "

The empress dowager and Nanny Qiu were stunned at the same time. After a brief moment of shock, the empress dowager looked at Nanny Qiu and he withdrew.

"Wei Qing, what are you talking about?"

Before the empress dowager could finish speaking, she was cut off by Wei Qing, who looked worried. "Esteemed Empress Dowager, tell the truth to me!"

Now, she already knew that something had happened to Xiao Qingqian. If the empress dowager chose to continue hiding it from him, even if she entered the secret room, she would definitely be distracted.

The empress dowager looked at her eyes that were filled with concern and worry. After muttering to herself for a while, she told Wei Qing the truth.

Wei Qing frowned slightly as she seriously analyzed the empress dowager's every word.

Xiao Qingqian's eyes were lifeless, this very likely meant that his consciousness had been manipulated.

Moreover, he already knew that the current Old Emperor was only a shadow that disguised himself. How could he possibly come to the Imperial Palace, and in broad daylight, to do such a thing as plotting to kill the Old Emperor?

Wei Qing kneeled down, "Esteemed Empress Dowager, Ah Qian must have been controlled."

"Control?" The empress dowager frowned, and looked at Wei Qing in search of him.

As matters stood, Wei Qing could only tell the truth and tell the empress dowager about the subGu.

The more Her Majesty listened, the more her heart clenched.

"Xie Jing's Second Prince is going too far!" Her Majesty's eyes were wide open as she spoke furiously.

Wei Qing pursed her lips, "Esteemed Empress Dowager, as you said earlier, the Crown Prince might not always be suppressed. This time, it will definitely be the Crown Prince and Long Xiaotian who will join hands."

Only Long Xiaotian had the ability to control the subGu.

"Wei Qing, you are a woman who is plotting something, this one wants to hear what you have to say."

Wei Qing frowned and thought, "Now we have three things we need to guard against!"

Her Majesty nodded and motioned for her to continue.

"First of all, the emperor must cure the poison as soon as possible. As long as the emperor can wake up, then the crown prince won't dare to act rashly!

Second, Ah Qian cannot stay in the dungeon, he must leave that place in order to prevent the crown prince from backstabbing him! "

"So, what's the other point?" The empress dowager felt that Wei Qing's words were reasonable and immediately asked.

Wei Qing took a deep breath, "Esteemed Empress Dowager, previously, the Emperor bestowed me a Death-Free Token. Now that Ah Qian is in trouble, I want to use this to first save Ah Qian."

Hearing this, the empress dowager's gaze fell upon her.

"Wei Qing, you have to know, in the entire Northern Kingdom, the number of people who can obtain Death-Free Token s are extremely few."

Wei Qing gazed unblinkingly into the empress dowager's profound eyes. "Empress Dowager, this humble one naturally understood what you want to say. However, the Emperor is important, and so is Ah Qian. In the dungeon, we'll only make Ah Qian feel that his hands and feet are tied. "

"But, there's only one Death-Free Token!" Her Majesty warned her in a low voice.

Wei Qing pursed her lips. If it wasn't for Xiao Qingqian helping her catch her prey back then, it would have been impossible for her to obtain this Death-Free Token.

At this moment, if Xiao Qingqian was in a difficult situation, she would naturally not choose to ignore him selfishly.

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, I have made up my mind. Please grant me your wish!"

Hearing this, the empress dowager stood up and personally supported Wei Qing up, holding Wei Qing's hand in gratitude.

"Wei Qing, This Dowager was not wrong about you!"

Wei Qing smiled at the empress dowager, "Because of the emperor's matter, it's not good for me to stand up for you."

The empress dowager replied with a "En" sound, "This Dowager has her own arrangements. In the future, you can follow Ah Qian and call This Dowager 'Royal Grandmother'."

Wei Qing was surprised, "What does the empress dowager mean?"

The empress dowager's smile was kind. To be able to stand out without a care when Ah Qian was in a difficult situation, she could finally relax and hand Ah Qian over to Wei Qing.

"You're so smart. You can't possibly not think of something, right?" Her Majesty did not answer her.

Wei Qing blinked her eyes, "Could it be..."

The empress dowager nodded. "Alright, this one will have Nanny Qiu look for Chen Cheng now."

Wei Qing smiled and was about to kneel down and thank her, but she was stopped by the empress dowager.

After settling this matter, most of Wei Qing's worries were gone. When the door to the secret room closed, Wei Qing raised her head with a smile on her face.

The empress dowager told her to call her "Royal Grandmother" from now on, which meant that the empress dowager sincerely accepted her.

He thought that this would be the biggest happy occasion for Wei Qing.
