"No, I will definitely work hard for the Queen Mother!" Lu Qian looked at Queen Mother Dou's face and said firmly.
He had no choice.
It was obvious that Cheng De had betrayed him completely.
Moreover, even if Chengde betrayed him, he would not dare to let go of anything.
"Very good!" Seeing Lu Qian's answer, Queen Mother Dou gently stroked Lu Qian's face, and then helped Lu Qian up.
"Queen Mother, if you help Xia Xingbang, what should Xia Zongze do?"
After listening to Lu Qian's words, Queen Mother Dou smiled slightly and said with narrowed eyes, "Xia Zongze is too young after all. Nowadays, the government and the public are in turmoil. Since Xia Xingbang wants the position of prince, let him come first! After all, the title of prince is the highest." The seat is not that easy to sit in..."
Listening to Empress Dowager Dou's answer, Lu Qian suddenly realized, "Empress Dowager, what you mean is... let Xia Xingbang sit on the throne of the prince first, then roast him on the fire and become the target of public criticism... After all, who has the last laugh? It’s the best laugh.”
Seeing Lu Qian say this, Queen Mother Dou's eyes became even more appreciative. "No wonder he admires you so much! He really has his reasons..."
Seeing Empress Dowager Dou say this, Lu Qian knew in his heart who she was talking about.
However, he still pretended to be stupid and asked, "Empress Dowager Dou, who is he you are talking about..."
Empress Dowager Dou smiled calmly and did not say, "Okay, you don't have to meddle in things that are not yours! Just work for the Ai family honestly! In this palace, no one can do anything to you except the Ai family. . "
These words sounded familiar to Lu Qian.
Seeing Queen Mother Dou's attitude, Lu Qian thought to himself.
Chengde said this, which is also beneficial.
As long as Queen Mother Dou knows what she is doing, she will trust him 100%. It will be much easier to do things by yourself in the future.
Lu Qian showed a humble look.
Queen Mother Dou seemed to suddenly think of something, and then said to Lu Qian, "There is something that the Ai family would like to ask you...have you also had a relationship with Nihuang..."
Lu Qian didn't want to admit it, but Queen Mother Dou was famous for her beauty.
Moreover, he felt that Queen Mother Dou's eyes changed slightly after she knew that he was a fake eunuch.
He does like seafood though.
But aged seafood is really unappetizing.
After some weighing, Lu Qian said to Queen Mother Dou, "Please forgive me, Queen Mother... I... I am... I was forced to do so..."
Queen Mother Dou was not surprised when she saw what Lu Qian said, "No wonder Nihuang's attitude towards you was so strange before. It's okay! The Ai family won't blame you. Food and sex are human nature! Just be honest." Serve the Ai family, and one day, after the government is stabilized and the power is in control, the Ai family will let you become Xia Nihuang's consort, and your help for me is not in vain."
Seeing that Queen Mother Dou was not angry, Lu Qian quickly thanked her.
Empress Dowager Dou said nothing more and asked Lu Qian to quickly find a solution.
"Then Queen Mother...can you let Yu Li go back to Liyang Palace..." Lu Qian tentatively asked Queen Mother Dou.
"Xiao Qianzi, if you want to be with Yu Li, just come to Kunning Palace... It is not safe for Yu Li to return to Li Yang Palace now." Queen Mother Dou said.
Seeing her say this, Lu Qian didn't dare to say anything more.
...
After receiving Queen Mother Dou's reply, Lu Qian finally understood.
What she said did make sense. No one in the Kunning Palace could harm Yu Li except Queen Mother Dou.
As long as Lu Qian concentrates on helping Queen Mother Dou... When they arrive at the side hall where Yu Li lives.
Yu Li saw Lu Qian and said in surprise, "Lu Qian, why are you here? What happened? If the Queen Mother..."
Lu Qian said nothing, smiled, stepped forward and hugged Yu Li.
Yu Li was startled by Lu Qian's actions and thought about pushing him away.
He said, "Lu Qian, you are crazy... This is in Kunning Palace.
..”
He hinted at her with his eyes, and there was Empress Dowager Dou's maid beside her.
Lu Qian hugged Yu Li a little tighter and said to the palace maid beside him, "You guys can get out."
The maids nodded and left.
Yu Li still struggled hard. "You're crazy..."
Lu Qian looked at Yu Li's worried and struggling expression and explained briefly.
After hearing this, Yu Li said with disbelief, "You mean the Queen Mother knew about it? Then..."
Lu Qian nodded to Yu Li and said, "That's right, you don't have to worry... I just need to be on the same front as the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will protect us."
Yu Li looked at Lu Qian with a complicated expression and said, "Would this wrong you..."
"If I had known about Queen Mother Dou's attitude, I would have told him a long time ago. I wouldn't have had to suffer this lovesickness with you..."
Yu Li's face turned slightly red, and he looked at Lu Qian affectionately. He also hooked his hands around Lu Qian's neck and said, "Will you be able to visit me often in the future?"
Lu Qian smiled and said, "It's okay to spend the night..."
...
After all, they were in Kunning Palace, and the two of them didn't dare to go too far, after some gentleness.
Lu Qian left.
It is actually not difficult for His Majesty to make Xia Xingbang the crown prince.
Still have to discuss it with Gao Weixin.
After a trip to the Yangxin Hall, the eunuch on duty said yes, and the emperor took Gao Weixin to the Ancestral Temple.
Lu Qian was a little confused. Why did the emperor go to the Ancestral Temple at such a young age?
However, Lu Qian didn't ask any more questions.
He just told the eunuch on duty to tell Gao Weixin later that he had come to see him.
After Gao Weixin heard the news, he would definitely come to him.
He simply returned to the Outer Imperial City and just arrived at the palace of the Outer Imperial City.
As soon as she entered the door, Tong Yao said to Lu Qian nervously, "Eunuch Lu, you are finally back... The former concubine came to see you early in the morning. She said you were not here, so she still had to wait here... It looks like I have something to ask you..."
"Don't be nervous! It's okay..." Lu Qian looked at Tong Yao's nervous face and gently pinched his face to comfort him.
What did Concubine Xi come here for?
When they arrived at their residence, Xi Fei was half lying on Lu Qian's bed.
"Xiao Qianzi, where have you been? So many palace maids are not enough for you...you still have to run out." Xi Fei said quietly.
"Xi Concubine, is there something urgent that brings you here?" Lu Qian asked Xi Concubine.
Only then did Concubine Xi wave her hand, signaling Lu Qian to help her up.
After helping Xi Concubine up, Xi Concubine took out a letter from her arms.
"My father asked me to deliver this letter to you personally two days ago. As a result, I forgot about it in a hurry...I suddenly remembered it this morning. I was afraid of delaying things..."
Lu Qian took the letter.
Xi Fei never opened it either.
After opening it and taking a look, Lu Qian suddenly felt dumbfounded.
The best emperor master
