Half an hour later.
The whole court was in an uproar, and hundreds of officials gathered in the palace, asking to see the holy face.
Huang Zhong brought the news, "Everyone, please go back. Your Majesty is not in good condition today. If you have something to do, we will start tomorrow."
"Eunuch Huang, I have urgent matters to see your Majesty. Please inform me."
"I'm sorry. Your Majesty said he'd see you no more. He's gone now."
After Huang Zhong finished speaking, he ignored the noisy officials and returned to the Yangxin Hall.
The empress walked around with her hands behind her back, her heroic cheeks filled with anger, "Damn it, who is causing this!"
"Your Majesty, the Queen wishes to see you——"
A sharp voice came from outside, and the empress' heart tightened. She hesitated again and again, and asked someone to escort her into the palace.
I saw Chen Yuru holding a snow-white handkerchief and wiping her tears. She was helped in by Chang Ming, who was wearing eunuch uniform. She had runny nose and tears. When she came to the empress, she knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me. ah."
The empress forced a smile and took two steps forward to help her up. "The empress is pregnant, so don't kneel down."
"Your Majesty, my mother died miserably! If Your Majesty cannot seek justice for me, I will never be able to kneel down."
Chen Yuru whimpered hard.
Chang Ming lowered his head and retreated to the door, not daring to speak.
The empress said displeased: "What do you mean, queen? Are you saying that Eunuch Zhao harmed your mother?"
"Who else could it be but him?"
"That's ridiculous. Queen, please don't accuse someone unjustly. Do you have any evidence?"
The empress was very angry.
Has Chen Yuru forgotten who supported her and where the child in her belly came from? If Zhao An hadn't been the mediator, what qualifications would she have to challenge the emperor?
Chen Yuru cried and said: "Your Majesty, I know that Eunuch Zhao and my father are at odds, and I cannot afford him to vent his personal anger and threaten revenge."
"If Eunuch Zhao really wants to take revenge on you Chen family, how can he put himself in danger and have to eliminate the plague? Wouldn't it be better to just kill him?" the empress asked majestically.
"The so-called plague is just a cover-up. I heard that the imperial guards planned to burn the body and destroy the corpse on the pretext of plague. I hope your majesty will make a decision soon and send my mother back so that I can be examined by the Imperial Medical Office to give me justice."
The more Chen Yuru cried, the harder she cried, and she seemed to be about to pass away.
The empress was distraught and suppressed her anger and asked Chang Ming to send her away and not come over without summoning her.
Chang Ming immediately stepped forward and helped Chen Yuru up. When Chen Yuru left, she was still shouting: "I am wronged—Your Majesty—"
"The bastards are all bastards!"
The empress broke the tea cup, and the pieces fell at the feet of Huang Zhong who hurried back. Huang Zhong said bitterly: "Your Majesty, the officials are making a big fuss and insist on seeing you. Judging from their posture, I'm afraid they won't be able to attend court tomorrow morning. Will give up."
"I understand, please step back."
The empress rubbed her brows and had a splitting headache.
Ningkun Palace.
Chen Yuru stopped crying when she returned to the palace. Chang Ming smiled gloomily, "Your Majesty, you are good at acting."
"Hmph, that bitch slave Zhao An secretly got rid of the Heart-Eating Gu and even hid it from me. He deserves to be damned. I knew he had evil intentions, and it's thanks to you that you saw through his situation." Chen Yuru sneered and cursed.
Chang Ming said: "I don't know how he got rid of the heart-eating Gu, but I have to say that Zhao An's medical skills are very powerful, I'm afraid they are not weaker than those in the Tai Hospital. It's a pity that he doesn't understand the Gu. I started to doubt his antidote before, and then used the Gu technique to attract the Heart-Eating Gu worm, and sure enough, he didn't have an attack."
"Zhao An is no longer controllable. Since he is not of the same mind as me, we should get rid of him as soon as possible. Anyway, I have found a new ally."
When Chen Yuru said this, she immediately asked Chang Ming to bring the news, "To build momentum for me, everyone must know it. Zhao An can use the momentum to kill my father, and I can also use the momentum to kill him."
"Leave it to me and make sure his head is gone."
Chang Ming grinned and left.
Inside Cining Palace.
In front of Luo Qingshuang was Ling Qiaoer's round fan with poems written on it, which Zhao An asked Jingzhao Mansion to send over.
Wu Shi was talking about the chaos outside.
Luo Qingshuang picked a grape and put it in her mouth, smiling: "It has only been a few days since the fall of the Chen family, and the capital is already so lively."
"Yes, Eunuch Zhao holds the position of general manager and factory supervisor. He has long been a thorn in the side of all officials. Everyone is eager to deal with him quickly. A plague broke out in the house. He meant well, but unfortunately he fell into the trap." Wu Tongue Shaking his head with emotion.
In his impression, Zhao An is a very smart person, who can calculate every step he takes. Who would have thought that if he took one wrong step, he would end up in a place of no return.
Luo Qingshuang said: "Tell me, why did His Majesty give him the title of Director of the Black Factory?"
"Your Majesty is young and energetic. She finally regained power. Naturally, she wants to keep all the power in her hands. The feared black factory is the sharp blade in her hand."
"Yes, you see clearly. You are worthy of being an old man around the Ai family."
Luo Qingshuang smiled and praised.
Wuji said: "It's just that I don't understand who is so ruthless. It seems that both the Northern and Southern Saint Sects intend to win over Zhao An. The family is still worried about the new salt matter, and they don't have the mood to add insult to injury."
"go on."
"Yes...His Royal Highness Prince Ning lives in seclusion. Ever since the last time he was injured by a wild beast and almost killed a powerful son, he has gradually come into the court's sight. His relationship with Zhao An is not bad, and now that King Chu has returned, He will not and cannot do anything to Zhao An. As for His Highness the King of Chu, the old slave has heard that he suffered a stab wound and was in unbearable pain when he came back, but he has never seen him before."
The tongueless words stopped here.
Luo Qingshuang joked: "Why don't you say anything? Don't you think His Majesty is also suspicious?"
Wu Tongue was frozen, not daring to say a word.
"Your Majesty is young, powerful and ambitious. Zhao An has a wild and uncontrollable nature. She may have deliberately planned this to get a hold of that boy, and then showed her merciful side to protect Zhao An, and then made him hate all officials and be willing to do this A sharp sword.”
Luo Qingshuang's words moved Wuyu.
This is the imperial court. No one knows who is behind it until the last step, but what is certain is that Zhao An is now desperate.
The interior of the mansion.
Zhao An and Luo Qingshuang continued to treat the female relatives in the house together. He was very calm, as if nothing had happened.
Xu Ruqing, on the other hand, was very worried and a little absent-minded in doing things.
The imperial guards were dealt a heavy blow by Qiao Yan, but it was a pity that he never found out who killed Mrs. Chen.
Half a day later, someone came back with news.
Hundreds of officials impeached the factory governor, and the news that Mrs. Chen was tortured to death has become known to everyone in the capital.
Nowadays, the literati are talking about clearing the emperor's side and killing the eunuchs!
