When they reached the outskirts of Ningkun Palace, everyone stopped. Only Zhao An and several ministers accompanied Chen Guogong into the hall.
Chen Yuru just sat like that, with clear eyes and a serious smile. When she saw Chen Guogong, she stood up and called her father.
Chen Guogong brought several people to the ceremony and shouted "Wanfu Jinan".
"What do you mean by your father's visit?"
Chen Yuru asked knowingly.
Chen Guogong's eyes fell directly on Chang Ming, who had his head lowered. "Recently, I heard that there were fake eunuchs in the cholera harem. I was deeply worried and specially requested your majesty to mobilize the Fifth Army Commander's Office to inspect."
"Someone pretended to be a eunuch and sneaked into the palace. How could I not know about it?"
Chen Yuru's pretty face turned sulky.
She is the master of the harem, and by kissing me, she is undoubtedly slapping her in the face in public.
Now she believed what Zhao An said more and more. Her father did not regard her as a daughter, he only had that son in his heart!
Duke Chen Guo said nothing.
The Minister of War behind him saw this and helped smooth things over: "Reporting to the Empress, we are also doing this for the sake of peace and tranquility. We cannot make any mistakes. The other eunuchs have been inspected, and you and the eunuchs around the Queen Mother are still left."
"What did you say!"
Chen Yuru was furious, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
The Minister of War quickly knelt down, his body like chaff.
He regretted it, why was he so stubborn that he helped Chen Guogong escape.
Isn't this looking for trouble?
"I am the majestic mother of the country, representing the royal family! If you want to investigate, I agree, but you have to keep your head!"
Chen Yuru got angry and really tried to bluff people.
Zhao An secretly gave a thumbs up. The woman who was determined to help the "Prince" ascend to the throne had a momentum at this moment that even the Empress could not compare to!
To put it bluntly, because her father is Chen Guogong, these ministers are more cowardly towards her than they are towards the emperor.
Because the emperor couldn't do anything to them even if he yelled to kill them, but she was different. Now she drew her sword and stabbed them to death in vain!
Sure enough, seeing Chen Yuru's furious rage, several ministers were frightened, their mouths tightened, and they didn't dare to let out a fart.
The atmosphere in the hall was tense.
Facing such a strong daughter, Chen Guogong frowned and wanted to get angry.
A bunch of stupid roe deer...
Zhao An was suddenly looking forward to what they would do when they went to Cining Palace later.
Will the old witch slap them to death?
However, acting is still necessary.
Seeing that it was almost done, Zhao An took out the Queen Mother's decree.
Several ministers immediately cast suspicious glances.
Chen Guogong was the first to kneel down.
Zhao Anxin's flowers were in full bloom and he was doing nothing. "The Queen Mother has decreed that what happened in the harem is not an affair between a fake eunuch and a palace maid, but a man who deceived the public and ruined the reputation of the royal family. His crime should be punished."
With that said, Zhao An threw the decree to Chen Guogong, "Everyone, if the Queen Mother invites you, please come with the Za family."
Everyone looked at each other, confused for a moment. Did the Queen Mother know that they would come like this?
When they thought of the Queen Mother's seclusion all year round and her sudden summons, they all felt at a loss and all looked at Chen Guogong.
However, Chen Guogong ignored everyone and said coldly to Chen Yuru: "The royal family's face is naturally important. I hope the queen will take care of her body, and I will retire."
"Father, my daughter is pregnant with dragon seed."
Chen Yuru suddenly spoke, but Chen Guogong paused and said without looking back: "Later, I will send people to bring tonics to the palace. The queen should take good care of herself and give birth to a dragon heir as soon as possible."
After that, he led the people and left Ningkun Palace directly.
At this moment, even though Chen Yuru had been mentally prepared, she still sat on the chair dejectedly, her nails almost piercing the wood.
Sure enough, she shouldn't have had high expectations from the beginning!
Zhao An laughed inwardly and kept up with Chen Guogong and others.
She should have seen the situation clearly and let it go.
In order for the child in her belly to ascend to the throne, what's the harm in her killing the entire Chen family?
Cining Palace.
Chen Guogong said to Zhao An: "I have paid homage to the Queen Mother in accordance with Yi's decree. I hope you can pass the news on."
"No need, the Queen Mother said, you adults are here, let the Zajia take you to a place."
Zhao An led the way, and several people followed curiously.
When they reached a remote spot, they heard a woman's shrill screams.
Taking a closer look, he saw that Concubine Xiao was hanging from the beam, and two palace maids were beating her crazily with whips soaked in water!
The beating was so painful that she was covered in blood.
The old woman sat in the back with a sullen face and shouted, "Strike harder! Beat the dead bitch who talks nonsense!"
"daughter!"
Xiao Qingyu's face suddenly became miserable, and several ministers even felt their scalps numb.
In fact, when Zhao An first entered the palace, a palace maid conveyed Luo Qingshuang's will, and now she was going to beat these eye-opening things.
Thinking of this, Zhao An teased: "Everyone, the Queen Mother wants you to watch, and you are not allowed to leave without an order."
"Eunuch Zhao, this will kill someone!"
Xiao Qingyu almost knelt down.
Zhao An looked embarrassed, "The Queen Mother also said that you can check the eunuchs of Cining Palace as you like, but if you can't find out, she will replace the Queen Mother and clean up the cholera harem's evil concubines."
"Please Eunuch Zhao, please save my daughter!"
When Xiao Qingyu heard that he was going to beat Concubine Xiao to death, he couldn't bear it any longer. He knelt down with a grunt and burst into tears.
Chen Guogong said displeasedly: "Look what you look like!"
"Your Excellency, my daughter was wronged. How dare she lie about such a thing! Please show mercy and save my son!"
"Huh, the Queen Mother said she was wrong, she is wrong."
Duke Chen Guo was really ruthless and obviously did not want to break up with the Queen Mother.
Xiao Qingyu looked desperate when he heard this, "There is still that palace maid, please interrogate me and prove my son's innocence!"
Several ministers were stunned and began to exchange opinions angrily.
At this moment, the beautiful little eunuch and several people came over carrying a huge steamer, opened it in front of everyone, and waited to see what was inside.
Except for Chen Guogong, everyone including Zhao An vomited.
The palace maid was steamed to death.
The little eunuch smiled and said: "Everyone, the Queen Mother said that you will allow all of you to inspect the body of this troubled slave, please."
It's a pity that no one dares to move.
In fact, let alone moving, my calves were trembling.
Several ministers knew too little about the Queen Mother and thought that she was just a woman who kept the palace door tightly and only ate fasting and chanted Buddha's name. Who would want to be so vicious.
Duke Chen's eyelids twitched wildly as he looked at the horrifying corpse, and he forced a smile and said, "Please, father-in-law, please repay the Queen Mother. If I realize my mistake, I will go to your majesty to apologize."
"In that case, I won't delay you adults."
The young eunuch waved his hand and asked someone to carry the steamer away. Suddenly his eyes fell on Zhao An and he narrowed his eyes, "Hey, I heard that the ministers came to the palace for inspection. Do you dare to ask if all the eunuchs have checked? "
Looking at the look on his face that he wanted to be beaten, Zhao An knew that he was not holding it in, but he could not stop it.
Chen Guogong was very scheming, and he understood it at a glance, with a smile on his face.
