step by step

Empress Dowager Zhang has been unable to sleep at night, unable to swallow food, and has summoned the imperial physician many times to see her. The medicine pot is always on her body, but it can't relieve it at all.Zhang Juzheng's death affected her whole body, including five people from the former imperial court who confiscated her home, which greatly dealt a blow to her power in the imperial court.And the effect of killing chickens to warn monkeys is still exerting its residual heat in the court, and no one dares to take any action anymore.

The Empress Dowager stroked her swollen and painful temples, feeling that she had lost all strength.The emperor is slapping her in the face!For the first time, she deeply felt that the child who was bouncing behind her buttocks had grown up in an instant.He no longer obeys orders, but rises up to resist.Her arrangements and her will no longer take effect immediately.

She hates, hates that her child died prematurely, and also hates that without a child, she cannot stand in the harem.How many midnights she woke up from her dream, looking at the neat quilt beside her, guarding the cold night alone.So I don't know when she fell in love with power.So what if she doesn't have a son, she can raise her stepson; so what if she doesn't have the emperor's favor, she has the supreme right.This distorted heart gradually swelled after the death of the Immortal Emperor, becoming more and more out of control.

"The emperor is here!" Zhang was startled, the teacup in her hand slipped to the table inadvertently, her heart felt unspeakably flustered and helpless like ants gnawing on it.

"Why is the emperor looking for Ai's family today?" She tried her best to hide her nervousness, and made herself a cup of tea again.

"It's already at this time, does the queen mother still pretend?" Situ Liefeng said coldly, "Bring it up."

Two sergeants detained a man who looked like an imperial physician and entered the hall. The imperial physician was trembling and his face was pale.She clasped her fists in both hands and shook, "Forgive...forgive me, empress dowager...save this old minister."

The empress dowager turned pale with shock, and the hand holding the cup trembled slightly, "The Ai family doesn't know this person, what is the emperor doing?"

"Gu thought that the mother queen would not be able to reach this point, and I still called you mother mother, wow, are you doing this for a mother! Why can't you find out who is behind the hunting in Beishan? Aren't you just like the mirror!"

The more Situ Lieyu spoke, the more excited he became, the muscles on his face were trembling.He dropped his fist heavily on the table and overturned the tea that the Queen Mother had made again.

"So you already know..." The Empress Dowager sighed, "Then the emperor can bear me to this day."

"Gu thought that you at least still regarded me as your son, and you would never do this! You want Gu to die? And then sit on the world by yourself! Oh, by the way, there is also Afeng, you are targeting him everywhere, and you are also trying to put him Deal with it first, and cut off all the thorns on your road to the throne!"

"Aren't you good? You are indeed a child brought up by the Ai family. Aren't you trying to suppress my Zhang family's influence by eradicating my connections in the court?!" The Ai family has nothing to say, but Yu'er, are you really going to kill your mother?"

Situ Lieyu only felt a pain in his head. He closed his eyes and said weakly: "The Queen Mother, Zhang, is arrogant and ambitious. Now go to Dali Temple Prison to wait for punishment."
