Li Yi was still wrong. For several days in a row, Empress Dowager Zheng, apart from going to the imperial mausoleum, stayed in the palace, never leaving or taking a step forward.
This really made Li Yi a little confused. Could it be that he had guessed wrong and that Empress Dowager Zheng really returned to Beijing to miss the late emperor?
With such doubts, it was not until the tenth day that Empress Dowager Zheng suddenly ran to the queen's palace and invited her to go out and play.
When the news reached Li Yi's ears, he guessed that Queen Mother Zheng really couldn't bear it anymore.
"Cao Qingyan, follow from a distance, don't let her find you, I want to know what she wants to do!"
"No!" Cao Qingyan left quickly.
Li Yi Hanche's eyes were filled with coldness, "If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. I know that you will never do anything good when you come to the capital."
…
On the streets of the capital, Ye Qingluan, as the current empress of the palace, naturally wanted to show her kindness as a landlord and personally took Empress Dowager Zheng to visit some of the most prosperous streets for half a day.
It was approaching noon, and Empress Dowager Zheng wanted to taste the delicacies of the capital, so she looked for the largest restaurant.
After three drinks, Ye Qingluan suddenly left because of something, leaving Empress Dowager Zheng alone.
As expected, she took the opportunity to leave the restaurant, turned left and right, looked around cautiously, made sure there was no one behind her, and then entered a private house.
Just in case she made a mistake, she checked again and then felt relieved.
She was confident that she would not sense a mistake. After a moment of doubt, she pushed the door open and slowly walked into the house.
As soon as the door opened, there was an old man sitting in the room, it was Liu Jin, who had been waiting for a long time.
"Why are you here?" This was Liu Jin's first sentence when he saw Empress Dowager Zheng.
Queen Mother Zheng replied angrily, "The Queen is accompanying me personally. Do you think I came late?"
The two people looked at each other, but the atmosphere was strange. Shouldn't the key relationship between the two be that of master and servant?
Why do they feel that both of them are cold, especially Liu Jin? There is no respect in his eyes, but disdain.
Logically speaking, Queen Mother Zheng, as the biological mother of Prince Fu, has a respected status.
Even if Liu Jin is Prince Fu's favorite, he's not so arrogant that even Prince Fu's mother can't look down on him, right?
"Tell me, what's going on?" Liu Jin shook her robe and sat down proudly on her seat.
"What's going on?" Queen Mother Zheng said in a very unhappy tone.
"You are still pretending to be stupid. Who asked you to make your own decision and move into the palace!" Liu Jin's face changed drastically and she asked.
Empress Dowager Zheng's demeanor was dignified, her eyebrows raised slightly, "It is your Majesty's decree that I be allowed to stay in the palace temporarily."
"snort!"
Liu Jin snorted coldly: "Li Yi is not that easy to fool today. It's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out."
Empress Dowager Zheng frowned warily, her pretty face changed slightly, "The matter is now over, the deal is done, at worst, let Li Yi kill me!"
"Shh!"
Liu Jin was so frightened that she quickly ran to the door, made sure no one was there, and then hurriedly said: "Be careful, the wall has ears. This is not the southwest, this is the capital. You should be more careful in the future."
Looking at Liu Jin like this, Empress Dowager Zheng's beautiful eyes moved, her wrists moved slightly, her slender fingers glowed with white luster, and she said contemptuously: "Mr. Liu, I didn't expect that after not seeing each other for a few days, you have become so timid. .”
"snort!"
In response to this, Liu Jin snorted coldly without explaining, but said lightly: "I'll say it again, this is the capital, not the southwest. You have no idea how scary this place is, and how scary today is. I'm afraid it will be too late when you know." ”
"And your arrogance will not only destroy yourself, but also King Fu, and even everyone on this ship!"
Queen Mother Zheng glanced coldly, her eyes full of disdain, "Yes, the little emperor has indeed become a lot more cunning, but he is not that terrifying."
Liu Jin was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, "Then you underestimate Li Yi!"
"You were scared out of your wits by Li Yi, right?" A look of contempt appeared on Queen Mother Zheng's charming face, and she bit her teeth lightly, "If it weren't for your inability to do things and being timid, so that Prince Fu's many years of planning failed, I would have Why does the palace need to come here?"
"Wantless, what do you mean by that?" Liu Jin stood up and glared angrily.
"Is what I said wrong? Look at what you have done. The entire court has been given to Li Yi. The power in Young Master Yan's hands has also been pulled out one by one. The Jiubian family has all turned to Li Yi. Yi, many aristocratic families are starting to wait and see."
"Prince Fu issued a death order before he left. Governor An must bring us back to our camp. As for An Zhiyi, he will give it to Young Master Yan and borrow Li Yi's hand to get rid of Young Master Yan."
"If I don't come here in person, what can you do?"
Seeing that Empress Dowager Zheng was really angry, even though Liu Jin was arrogant, she still suppressed her anger and suddenly showed a wry smile, "Yes, it was the old slave who underestimated Li Yi and fell into his trick. Please, please The concubine has restored the old slave's decline."
Empress Dowager Zheng smiled charmingly and said, "How did that matter go? Governor An just let it go."
Liu Jin smiled evilly, "Don't worry, it's almost done, unless he wants to ruin the An family's reputation."
"Then what happens next?" Queen Mother Zheng asked eagerly.
Liu Jin looked around vigilantly, still maintaining enough vigilance, and carefully put it to his ear and whispered.
The voices of the two people were almost as quiet as the buzzing of mosquitoes.
at the same time.
On the roof of a private house, a figure clung to the roof, eavesdropping carefully.
This person is Cao Qingyan, who is following Li Yi's order to explore the purpose of Mrs. Zheng's coming to Beijing.
It's a pity that Liu Jin is too vigilant and cunning, and even with such a small voice, no matter how deep his inner strength is, he can't hear anything.
As for the core stuff, he didn't hear a word clearly.
Liu Jin couldn't help but let out a wild sneer, "Okay, okay, His Royal Highness Prince Fu is truly unparalleled in his scheming. In this way, it will be really stable."
"No matter how cunning Li Yi is, he will never be able to predict it."
"I really can't wait. I want to see Li Yihui's reaction. His expression must be very exciting. Let's see how you turn things around this time!"
He really hates Li Yi. He was so humiliated by Li Yi last time that he almost vomited blood. If he doesn't take revenge, he will never be able to hold his head high in his life. However, this big revenge will soon be avenged.
Empress Dowager Zheng was worried that something would happen, so she reminded her: "You should be more responsible lately, at least don't let Li Yi notice anything, especially with the martial arts competition coming up, King Fu doesn't want you to be too impulsive and cause other troubles. "
But after hearing this, Liu Jin's face suddenly changed drastically, and his eyes were full of anger. He stood up directly and said in a bad tone: "Queen Mother Zheng, pay attention to your identity. It's not your turn to educate me. Don't forget, you also It’s just a dog beside King Fu!”
"Don't forget your own identity. Do you really think you will become a real phoenix when you put on the phoenix robe?"
Immediately, he raised his hand and said, "If you have nothing to do, go back. Be careful of the Queen, she is not a good person either!"
"Humph!" Empress Dowager Zheng's pretty face was instantly stained with bitterness, and then she snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Looking at Queen Mother Zheng leaving, Liu Jin's expression turned playful again, and she spat, "Bah, what the hell, I put a piece of human skin on you, I really thought you were a human being."
After leaving the door and walking on the street, Empress Dowager Zheng's beautiful face was once again stained with a layer of helplessness, which she couldn't escape after all.
I thought that by escaping from this place, I could put an end to the past, but unfortunately I couldn't help myself after all.
Think about it, how can you disobey your family's orders as a female prostitute?
Even if his family lets him die, he has no choice.
But this time, even if I want to escape unscathed, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.
immediately.
Li Yi's voice and smile appeared unconsciously in her mind.
"Alas, Your Majesty has really grown up. Once upon a time, he was still the child who only knew how to play with cats and dogs. In the blink of an eye, he became a real emperor."
Walking on the streets of the capital, she seemed like a walking corpse, out of tune with the bustle around her.
Back at the restaurant, she sat silent for a long time, leaving only bitter lamentations.
But above the private house, Cao Qingyan frowned angrily. This time he didn't hear anything, and he didn't know how to report it to His Majesty.
Seeing Empress Dowager Zheng leave, he also disappeared quietly.
…
Royal study room.
Li Yi was shocked when he learned what happened.
"Can you confirm?"
Cao Qingyan nodded solemnly, "Return to your majesty, I will guarantee it with my life."
"Okay, I didn't expect that Queen Mother Zheng's return to Beijing this time would be related to the An family, and it would have a great relationship with Chief An?"
"I'm just a little curious, what leverage does that old man, Chief An, have in their hands?"
At this time, Cao Qingyan suddenly said: "By the way, Your Majesty, I discovered something."
"What's the matter?" Li Yi asked.
"Liu Jin seemed to be very rude to Concubine Zheng, and even scolded her several times!"
Li Yi frowned slightly, "What, how is this possible? How can Empress Dowager Zheng be Prince Fu's biological mother... Wait, isn't this Empress Dowager Zheng..."
