When the emperor said this, he looked very kind, but when the empress dowager heard this, a layer of frost suddenly fell on her face, and she said with a cold face: "Emperor, now you are finally full of your ambitions, so come to enjoy the Ai family?"

The emperor smiled and said, "How dare I pass on my mother's memory? I came here today to say something I never said to my mother."

"The emperor does not need to pretend to be so hypocritical." The empress dowager sneered, "The Ai family is now on the table. It depends on when the emperor's knife will be chopped down."

"My mother, I realized that your patience has been eroded a lot." The emperor slowly shook his head and smiled, "This is not like a son. When I was a child, whenever I asked my mother, when would my son become a ruler, the mother always said that the emperor should be patient. Now that I think about it, decades have passed, my son's patience has been slowly tempered."

At this time, the Shoukang Palace was very quiet, and only the curling smoke slowly rose from the copper furnace of auspicious beasts and disappeared invisibly.

Suddenly, a sneer pierced the tranquility.

"Haha, Emperor, now you have defeated the Ai family. This is the fate of the Ai family. The Ai family recognizes it. But the Ai family will advise you again for many years of maternal and child relationships. This world may not be yours. From now on, you will come to court to rule. You will know the hardships of the matter. If you accidentally lose a great country in the future and have no face to see the late emperor, it is you, not the Ai family." The empress dowager said coldly.

These words were like a cone, and every word penetrated the emperor's heart.

He held the folding fan tightly, breathed a sigh of relief, and said sarcastically: "My mother has been in the court for many years. The achievements of governing the country are obvious to all. My sons dare not speak nonsense. But even though my sons are not good at making weapons, they know that the great Yan is full of talents and armed with millions of armor. How dare you let the bandits trample half of my Yan?"

Upon hearing this, the empress dowager sneered and said, "All talents are there? millions of armor? Emperor, you will understand how many days you have to approve memorials. The government and military operations are not as interesting as fireworks and willow alleys."

The emperor gradually became angry and forced himself to calm down. He said in a deep voice: "Mother, my son is here today to ask you two things. One is that after Liang Bo left Guangming Palace last night, his whereabouts were unknown. Did you do this?"

"Haha, it's not bad. It's done by the Ai family, how about it?"

The emperor said calmly: "I have been in love with my mother and son for many years, and I don't want to tear my last face. Where is he?"

The Empress Dowager said lightly: "It was done by the Ai family. The Ai family has already recognized it. It was not done by the Ai family, but it should not be recorded in the Ai family's account. He was kidnapped, and that person is very capable and unstoppable."

The emperor was stunned and pondered for a moment and asked, "Okay, let's give up this matter. There is another thing that I have been puzzled for many years. I will ask you in person this time. Did your biological mother, Concubine Wan of Jinxiu Palace, kill you?"

After saying that, the emperor looked at the Empress Dowager without saying a word, like a stone statue.

The Empress Dowager was shocked, and her eyes finally moved away, and she did not dare to look at the emperor's eyes.

In the Shoukang Palace, dead silence returned to its original state.

On that day, the Queen Mother’s decree was heard from the Shoukang Palace.

After that night, the Empress Dowager moved to the Baolian Hall, worshiping the Buddha sincerely, and praying for the spirit of the late emperor in heaven, and no longer took a step out of the Baolian Hall.

Speaking of which, Zhou Shaobai and Mu Ningzhi left Jinxiu Palace and went back to the Dance and Music Department.

As soon as he arrived at the dance music department, Xiao Cui walked towards him and said anxiously: "Young Master Zhou, Miss Mu, you are back, let's go quickly."

"Let's go? Are you going back?" Mu Ningzhi asked.

"Of course. This time I entered the palace, I was originally preparing a new dance music for Princess Yunshang's birthday. Now that the situation in the palace is like this, how can I prepare any new dance music?" Xiao Cui said hurriedly, "Let's go out of the palace and go back!"

Liu Ruyan walked over. She knew Mu Ningzhi's true intention to enter the palace this time, but she didn't know if Mu Ningzhi had any gains at the moment, so she looked around. Mu Ningzhi saw it and nodded slightly.

Liu Ruyan immediately knew it and said, "I think it's better to go back quickly."

Qingrou next to her sighed: "Leave the palace? Now the palace gate has been closed by Huwei Camp. She said she wants to thoroughly investigate the remnants of the eunuch party in the palace. How can you get out?"

Zhou Shaobai heard the words and said, "Si Le doesn't have to worry about us. He just met the emperor and he rewarded this thing."

After saying that, Qingrou took out the gold medal. When she saw it, she was shocked and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Long live."

Zhou Shaobai was startled and quickly put away the gold medal. Mu Ningzhi and Liu Ruyan hurriedly stepped forward to help Qingrou up. Mu Ningzhi glared at Zhou Shaobai fiercely and said, "How can I take out the imperial gold medal at will to scare people?"

Zhou Shaobai touched his scalp and quickly stepped forward and clasped his fists to apologize: "Si Leshu's guilt, I'm too ignorant."

"No, Mr. Zhou has made great contributions to protecting the emperor and is worthy of being rewarded by the emperor." Qingrou said quickly, "When you see this gold medal, you are like seeing the lord. If you have this treasure and want to leave the palace, those soldiers will naturally not stop you."

"Since that's the case, Sister Qingrou, you must be careful in the palace." Liu Ruyan held Qingrou's hand and said earnestly.

"Sister, don't worry, when the palace is peaceful, you will naturally sing and dance to peace." Qingrou replied with a smile.

Zhou Shaobai suddenly asked, "Hey, where is Miss Yu? Why didn't you see her?"

"Miss Yu said that before her little fox woke up, she was very worried, so she went to find someone to treat the fox." Xiao Cui said.

Zhou Shaobaiqi said: "She has left the palace? How did she go out? And, who did she go to find?"

"I don't know, she just said that she had a way to leave the palace. As for the person she was looking for, it was Mr. Liang Boliang." Xiao Cui said.

Zhou Shaobai suddenly realized: "It must be because she thought that Mr. Liang had many ways and could help her find someone to treat the jade-eared red fox. Since that's the case, then we will go to Liang's house to meet her."

So the few people left Qingrou and successfully left the palace gate.

Liu Ruyan and Xiao Cui sat in the carriage, while Zhou Shaobai and Mu Ningzhi rode their horses all the way up the street.

I saw that on the streets of the capital, there were also soldiers from Huweiying guarding the major intersections, strictly identifying pedestrians, and arresting the remnants of the eunuchs.

However, these soldiers also took the opportunity to extort, stared at them, and scared passers-by on the charge of affair with the eunuch party. The pedestrians could only dare not speak out, and had to admit that they were unlucky and pay for money to eliminate disasters.

Zhou Shaobai sighed when he saw it, and suddenly a burst of crying came. He followed the sound and saw a row of soldiers scolding and escorting a group of criminals.

Those people were either rich or noble at first sight, and were all white and fat, crying and sarcastically.

When Zhou Shaobai was confused, the people watching next to him talked: "These are all ministers in the court, and they are said to be from the eunuch party. Now that they have been arrested and interrogated by Eunuch Liao's people, there must be more people involved."

"Who is Eunuch Liao?"

"Hey, of course, it is the eunuch general manager around the emperor. Now the empress dowager's governor and the mirror guard office are both gone. Eunuch Xu and Eunuch Chang are said to be missing. It is finally the turn of Eunuch Liao to make a move. It is said that Eunuch Liao set up a national guard according to the emperor's wishes, which is specifically responsible for the eunuch party case."

"Zhenguowei? Another of the State Administration and the Mirror Guard Office!" the man sighed.

"Shh! Don't say it again!"

After hearing these words, Zhou Shaobai just stood there blankly.

Yes, after the fight last night, everything seemed to be different, but it seemed to be nothing different.

Zhou Shaobai shook his head and smiled helplessly, looking at the team of fat and white prisoners, gradually drifting away from the scolding and whipping of the soldiers.
