"Ghost Wolf, how is the matter?" The voice belonged to the empress dowager.

"In reply to the empress dowager, it's about time. I've already sent people to poison the food of those ministers. I believe that news will spread tomorrow." At this moment, the ghost wolf's eyes were a little cold as it spoke.

"Alright, you did well this time. I will reward you handsomely." When the empress dowager heard this, she stood up and paced back and forth with her back facing the ghost wolf, before continuing.

"Then how did you deal with the person who poisoned him?"

"Don't worry empress dowager, I'll take care of her."

"Mm, you've done well in this matter. When it's done, there will be benefits for you." When the empress dowager heard this, she smiled happily, but her smile was a little gloomy.

"Empress Dowager Xie, it's just that the Ghost Wolf still has something to discuss with her." At this moment, the ghost wolf suddenly said.

"What is it?"

"Right now, Commander Lan Cang has already dispatched troops to guard the northern stronghold. If that's the case, then King Cheng has also left. Why hasn't he launched a coup?" If Violet Garden was here, she would have definitely thought that her thoughts were correct. So the empress dowager actually wanted to carry out a coup d'état, but the cause of the situation was unknown and the empress dowager had plotted for a long time just to wait for today. It could be said that her thoughts were actually so farsighted.

"This isn't a good time." The empress dowager narrowed her eyes slightly before speaking up as well.

"Do you know why I didn't dare to start a coup when Helian was away in the North?"

"Your subordinate doesn't know, but Empress Dowager, please give me pointers."

"Humph, if Helian Lie did not bring back the northern army, I would not dare to act rashly. Otherwise, if the northern army were to be defeated, Xi Li would definitely send his army to the north and we would not be able to withstand this blow. And now, the northern army has returned, moreover, it is a great victory. The empress dowager clenched her fists tighter when she said this.

"Oh? "Why is that? Does the empress dowager think that the current emperor's power is growing bigger and bigger, that he's not using the method of weakening her? Does the empress dowager have great foresight? The Ghost Wolf doesn't know what the empress dowager's intentions are?" He was already on the same boat as the empress dowager, and by now, even the Ghost Wolf knew that if the empress dowager didn't turn traitor, then he probably wouldn't be able to hide anywhere if the empress dowager didn't win. For a moment, he also wanted to know the empress dowager's exact thoughts.

"I know what you're thinking, Ghastly Wolf. But don't worry, Helian will definitely not escape from my grasp this time." The empress dowager looked at the ghost wolf and gave a cold laugh. Naturally, it was impossible to hide its intentions from the empress dowager.

"Yes, yes. The empress dowager is wise, the Ghost Wolf was overthinking things." The ghost wolf said in fear.

"Mm, just do your own thing." The empress dowager spoke blandly. Although she had thought of something, she still explained.

"If not for Helian's return, I'm afraid that Murong Xiu wouldn't have let Bei Yue off so easily. Murong Xiu is a great enemy, so I naturally need Helian to deal with him. What I want is a complete Northern Desert, and one that can unify the entire world. Do you understand?" When the empress dowager spoke up to this point, her ambitions were suddenly revealed, and the matter was cleared up. As for the Ghost Wolf, his heart trembled. This empress dowager's heart was indeed ruthless.

"Yes, this subordinate understands. This subordinate is willing for the empress dowager to unite the world as soon as possible. This subordinate is willing to stand by the empress dowager's side and go through fire and water!"

"Mm, I'll remember these words. You can leave now." When the empress dowager heard this, her heart was filled with relief as her eyes brimmed with ambition.

"Yes, your subordinate will take his leave first." After the ghost wolf said this, it slowly left. After it left, a figure quietly prepared to leave. Just as it was about to leave, another figure snuck over.

"Don't move, it's me."

"Empress, I've already heard the news."

"Hmm, don't say anything for now. I'm afraid there are still some things that you haven't finished." Ever since the day of Zi Yuan's wedding, she had felt that if the ancient emperor wanted to seize the throne, it would be difficult for them to take it from home. Therefore, Zi Yuan immediately pushed this matter to the front, thinking of the empress dowager and the shadow that was sent from the sect, while he circled around the palace in the surroundings. When he arrived at the sixth prince's chambers, he did not discover the sixth prince, but he became vigilant and saw that the empress dowager just happened to have left the palace.

"Yes, Empress." After the silhouette finished speaking, she did not speak anymore. At the same time, the heart of the Violet Garden abruptly turned cold. Her guess was correct. This matter was most likely caused by the people within the palace.

After the Ghost Wolf left, a figure walked out from behind the curtains in the room, while the empress dowager also slowly walked over. At the same time, the eyes of Violet Garden and Shadow also became completely cold, and their breathing had become a bit weaker. Like this, the two of them climbed up the roof like cats, looking at the two people below.

"Muhou, there are some things that I still can't figure out. Can you explain it to me?" When the Sixth Prince came out and saw his mother, he spoke with a lost expression. The empress dowager also looked at her son and pampered him.

"If you have something to say, just say it. It's time to let you know about some of the things." The empress dowager sighed as well. She was afraid that her sixth son was going to have a showdown with her own sixth son, or else she wouldn't be able to get out of this mess. Thinking of this, the empress dowager pulled the Sixth Prince over to sit by her side.

"Imperial Mother, your son has always been unclear as to why you treat my eldest brother like this. Today, I have won a great victory over Xi Li, and elder brother's contributions have been great. Furthermore, ever since eldest brother took office, I, Bei Yue, have become abnormally strong in all the kingdoms under the heavens. But now …"

"Humph, shut up!" "What do you know?" The empress dowager's expression suddenly changed before she continued.

"Let me ask you. After your father died, do you know why your elder brother ascended the throne? He was your elder brother, but he wasn't the elder brother of everyone in the harem. Do you know?" The empress dowager's voice suddenly rose, while the Sixth Prince's hand trembled involuntarily as he spoke.

"Imperial Mother, what do you mean by this?"

"Hmph, you keep on calling him 'big brother'. Don't tell me you don't have any other brothers? Do you know how your other brothers died? " The empress dowager's expression suddenly changed as she spoke coldly.

"Your son doesn't know. Imperial Mother, please speak more clearly." At this moment, the Sixth Prince was somewhat anxious. He still didn't know why his father had so many sons, but there were only himself and Helian Haoyan in the Northern Yue State. He didn't even know how those people had died.

"Hmph, this is what you call the work of the so-called good big brother." The two people on the roof looked each other in the eyes and suddenly understood, and the shadow already knew about it in her heart. This was because she herself had participated in these things before, of course, she would not know about these things, and all she knew was that after she had transmigrated here, Helian Lie had already become the emperor. Hearing the empress dowager say this, it was likely that the situation had come to an end.

"Muhou, you're saying Big Brother did it?" The Sixth Prince's eyes widened as he stared at his mother. His hands unconsciously began to tremble as well, his face filled with disbelief. After a moment of daze, he also looked at the empress dowager and spoke.

"Muhou, big brother has great ambitions. How could he do such a thing? Furthermore …"

"And what? Even now, you still don't believe the words of the Queen Mother?" Isn't all of this meticulously planned by the Queen Mother for the sake of you? " The empress dowager cut him off, sounding a bit exasperated as she spoke.

"Mother, don't worry, your son is just a little out of sorts. At the beginning, you only told me to release Big Brother, I originally thought that Big Brother would make a move on me, so I've always had some grudges towards Big Brother. However, now that you say it like this, I'm not stupid, but Big Brother is still your child." Even though he himself also wanted the throne, but with Helian's power and strength in front of him, even if he had the intention, he did not dare act rashly. Hearing his mother's words at this moment, his heart was in his throat.

Ever since Helian Lie had set off with his army, the empress dowager had reminded the Sixth Prince that he was going to release his company at all times. However, the Sixth Prince didn't know that his eldest brother had been killed for the sake of seizing the throne.

"Helian is not my own body, son." The empress dowager sighed as she spoke.

"What!?" Big brother is not my biological brother. " When the Sixth Prince said this, he also looked at his mother in a daze, as if he had heard something inconceivable. The shadow on the roof and the Violet Garden were also startled. It was obvious that the two of them also felt that something was off.

"Helian was born from the concubine of your father's palace. Otherwise, how could I do such an outrageous thing to your brother? That Helian's existence is a threat to both my mother and me after all." When the empress dowager spoke up to this point, she looked at the stunned Sixth Prince before speaking again.

I'm afraid that he already found out from his mother that I'm not her real mother. But back then, I wanted you to get this throne and secretly poison her mother, and now, only she knows that I'm not her real mother and that her own mother was also killed by someone. The world is in a state of turmoil right now, and if Helian were to meet me at this moment, I'm afraid that the harem would be unstable.

"Besides mother, who else knows about this?" At this moment, the Sixth Prince finally understood. Although cold sweat had started to form on his palms, his heart had slowly started to calm down. At this point, his mother was already prepared for this.

Currently, there is only one more you. Helian will naturally not say such a thing, but once he obtains the position of the world's overlord one day, there is no guarantee that he will not make a move on us. Therefore, mother has been planning such a thing for a long time. The empress dowager looked at her son and said helplessly.
