Behind Mrs. Chen are several aunts, as well as several of Chen Yuan's women, all of whom are considered beautiful and fragrant.
According to the criminal law of Daxia, rebellious ministers and traitors should be killed in the whole family, but the emperor did not issue an order, indicating that she still cared about the queen's face.
Zhao An was suddenly curious. Now that the Chen family has been destroyed and Chen Yuru is alone, will the empress directly deal with her?
Thinking like this, Huang Zhong ran all the way and handed over a secret order with a smile.
There are some words of praise written on it, which probably means that the chief steward of the imperial family should be credited with the first contribution to the elimination of the Chen family. In recognition of his outstanding achievements, the Chen family can take whatever they want, including the wives and concubines of the Chen family and his son.
Zhao An couldn't help but be speechless.
Huang Zhong smiled and said: "Master Zhao, Huang En is so majestic, don't you feel moved by so many lovely wives and beautiful families? I heard that there is a little-known history circulating in the capital, in which there was a wife named Cao who loved other wives deeply. "
"Fuck you, I don't have that kind of hobby."
Zhao An rolled his eyes and asked how these people would be accommodated.
Huang Zhong said helplessly: "His Majesty said you should make your own decision."
Zhao An had a slight headache. Mrs. Chen was the mother of the queen and had a distinguished status. If she did not go well, she might get burned.
In fact, if possible, I would prefer her to accompany Chen Guogong on the road.
After much thought, Zhao An asked Xu Ruqing to stay and help count the money, and then returned to the palace with Huang Zhong.
On the way back to the palace, Huang Zhong said solemnly: "Master Zhao, your Majesty has dismissed many officials. People in the government and the public are panicking. However, some officials are writing letters to impeach the Queen."
Impeach Chen Yuru?
Zhao An didn't find it strange, he was just curious about how the empress would treat that woman.
After the carriages and horses enter the palace, you can still smell the pungent temperature when passing by Xuanwu Gate. It will take a lot of time to completely remove the smell.
In the study room.
The empress rarely read the memorial and sat there drinking tea alone, with several plates of refreshments placed in front of her.
Zhao An sat in front of her carelessly.
She said: "Slave, you have done a great job in helping me get rid of the big trouble in my heart. You can make requests and I will grant them."
"Your Majesty, do you remember what I said? If one day you gain power, your servant will leave."
Zhao An said in a serious tone.
The empress was caught off guard and asked blankly: "The situation in the court is not stable, how can you abandon me?"
"I am a powerful eunuch. Your Majesty is not afraid that all the officials will be jealous of me. Isn't he afraid that I will form a clique for personal gain and become the second in command of Chen Guogong?"
"Not afraid."
The empress did not answer simply, but she gave the answer after two seconds of silence.
Looking at her perfect face, Zhao An felt a trace of unconcealable disappointment in his heart, but he did not show it, so he changed the subject and asked when the Chen family's party would be executed and how Chen's widow would be settled.
The empress said: "I heard you tell the story of the Three Kingdoms, and you often mentioned other people's women. Since you are interested in this, what's the harm in giving them all to you?"
"No, I can't bear it!"
Zhao An decisively refused. He was not a fool. She was the queen's mother. If she really ate Chen's mother and daughter's rice bowl, she would be convinced that the eunuchs would bring disaster to the country!
Or did the empress do it on purpose?
"If you don't want it, don't want it, but the Chen clan cannot escape their punishment. I intend to send them to the bitter cold land of Mobei."
"Your Majesty is wise."
"The Queen has arrived——"
Suddenly Huang Zhong shouted outside.
Zhao An stood up reluctantly, and then saw Chen Yuru entering the door in panic.
She couldn't tell whether her mood was good or bad. She seemed to have just cried, and her eyes were slightly swollen. After entering the hall, she knelt at the feet of the empress and said sadly: "Your Majesty, my father's sins are his own fault, but my mother and the others were not involved. I hope that your majesty, for the sake of my loyalty, will be more generous."
Is Chen Yuru trying to plead for the female relatives of the family?
Zhao An was a little unexpected.
The empress said displeasedly, "The empress has put me in a very difficult position. The Chen family has made a rebellion, and everyone in the family should be executed because of the etiquette and law. I only spared it for your sake, and sent her to Mobei as a slave."
"My mother is old and cannot bear the displacement. I hope your majesty will agree."
Chen Yuru knelt on the ground and kowtowed, her forehead turning red.
The empress helplessly helped her up and scolded: "The queen is pregnant, how can you be so contemptuous of yourself? Let me think about it again."
"Then I won't disturb you."
Chen Yuru wiped away tears and exited the hall. Before leaving, she glanced at Zhao An, her meaning was self-explanatory.
After he left, the empress asked: "What does the queen mean when she suddenly comes to plead for mercy?"
"I'm not the roundworm in her belly, how could I understand."
Zhao An shrugged and immediately went out to see Chen Yuru.
Sure enough, Chen Yuru did not go far, but waited nearby, and the two came to the garden together.
Zhao An took a step behind and lowered his head and asked, "I have something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Now that the Chen family has been destroyed, I am worried that I will be unable to survive alone and want to preserve the Chen family and their family business." Chen Yuru's request was truly outrageous.
Zhao An shook his head without hesitation, "You think this is impossible."
"It may not be possible for others, but you are the chief steward and the most popular person. As long as you ask, I will agree to it."
"So, the empress plans to keep the Chen family's property in Beijing, and then support her relatives and support her own troops?"
"Humph, I am only thinking about the future of the prince. If there is no support from my relatives, I am worried that the prince will be bullied in the future."
Chen Yuru made her thoughts clear.
Zhao An secretly said that she wanted to be Luo Qingshuang's second, which was really difficult to handle.
The empress finally took back her power, how could she allow another relative to appear next to her bed?
"Eunuch Zhao, I leave this matter to you. If you can't handle it, you have to handle it."
Chen Yuru suddenly took out a small white bottle from her sleeve and smiled menacingly.
Zhao An's anus tightened.
groove!
I almost forgot that I had been infected by Chang Ming's "Heart-Eating Gu" and had to be controlled by others, so I pretended to be excited and wanted to grab the bottle.
Chen Yuru smiled slightly, turned around and dodged lightly, teasing: "Don't worry, Eunuch Zhao, as long as you finish your errands, this bottle of medicine will be yours, but you must not keep me waiting for too long."
"Here..."
Zhao An laughed along with him, pretending to be conceited.
Chen Yuru then left with satisfaction.
"Damn, what a beautiful thought."
Zhao An spat.
Before Chen Guogong died, she jumped up.
As expected of a father and daughter, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked!
"If you want to plot against me, you are not qualified yet."
Zhao An cursed and returned to the royal study, telling the empress exactly what had happened.
The empress said sullenly: "A fallen phoenix is worse than a chicken. She dares to threaten you. How about I cut the knot quickly and get rid of her?"
"not good."
Zhao An decisively rejected it because the current situation in the court was still unclear.
The empress is pregnant. To ensure the stability of a dynasty, a heir must be chosen. The prince is now well known. If Chen Yuru is killed, Great Xia will fall into turmoil again. What's more, she came out to kill her relatives out of justice, and there is no crime to attack her.
