"The Ai family agrees with the emperor's idea, but with the strength of the Ai family, I am afraid that it is not enough to send the emperor into the palace to exchange with fakes under the siege arranged by Ye Kang..."

The queen mother raised her hand and rubbed the center of her brows, sighed and glanced at the old nanny who was serving with lowered brows.

This old nanny has followed the Empress Dowager for many years, she is as important as the Empress Dowager's left and right hands, and she also has the most discerning eyesight.

Seeing this, she came out with a knowing mind, bowed to Lin Muxuan, and said: "I don't know if there is news from the queen, the queen mother intends to help, the queen can't just ignore it in the prime minister's mansion, right?"

What's more, this matter has something to do with the Ye family. The Empress Dowager did not reveal it publicly, but she already felt resentful towards Ye Chu in her heart.

The person who did such a rebellious thing was Ye Kang, and the reason why Ye Kang had the confidence to try to steal someone else was because of the unborn child in Ye Chu's womb?

The Empress Dowager had already considered Ye Chu as Ye Kang's indirect accomplice. If Lin Muxuan hadn't highlighted Ye Chu's difficult situation when she begged to see the Empress Dowager, she would not have designed Ye Chu's unborn child to persecute Ye Kang.

At this time, Ye Chu was like a hot potato, both parties were not pleasing, but he had to take care of the unborn child in her womb to confess her.

Hearing what the old mother said, Lin Muxuan's face changed slightly. He didn't know that Ye Chu was in a difficult situation, and it was only a matter of encouragement to protect himself.

But what the queen mother said is also reasonable, if Ye Chu no longer helps Wen Zheng's affairs, I am afraid that the queen mother will hold grudges against her when she returns to the palace.

For Ye Chu's plan, Lin Muxuan sighed in his heart, with a proper embarrassment on his face.

"What does the Empress Dowager mean to let the Empress take action and send the Emperor into the palace? But right now Ye Kang is very cautious about the vicinity of the palace, and the Empress Dowager may not be able to achieve this, otherwise I wouldn't have spent so much time to come to Zhuyin Temple."

The queen mother frowned when she heard this, and after a while, she coughed lightly and took out a small token from her sleeve.

This token is carved from ivory, and it looks like it was used in the palace.

"Doctor Lin, Ai's family saw you and the emperor coming. You were willing to block arrows with your body to protect the emperor on the way. You seem to be a loyal and trustworthy person..."

The old mother took the token from the Queen Mother, held it in front of Lin Muxuan with both hands, and asked him to put it away.

"The empress dowager has some capable people in the palace, and the head of the Shang Palace Bureau holds an important position. Although Ye Kang sealed off the palace, the huge palace confinement consumes countless supplies every day, and the connection with the outside world must not be cut off."

That's a good point, the food in the palace is all brought in from outside.

Not to mention those pampered concubines and masters, just the thousands of court ladies and eunuchs in the palace consume countless rice, grain and food every day.

Even though Ye Kang could order the closure of the palace, he couldn't cut off the palace's connection with the outside world, and the Shang Palace Bureau, which was in charge of the palace's expenses, was the most suitable to start with.

We are all smart people, some things need not be said thoroughly.After the old mother gave the token to Lin Muxuan, she took a note from the Queen Mother with the name and position written on it.

The two handed over the items, and when they looked up at each other, their faces were calm, and they already had a plan in their hearts.

Lin Muxuan looked down at the name with wet ink marks on the paper, and after a moment of silent memorization, he burned the note with the candle next to him.

"I don't know if this will work out... I just hope that God will show mercy, and don't disappoint the expectations of the emperor and the empress dowager!" Lin Muxuan cupped his hands, and saluted the empress dowager again with the awe of a strong man , then turned around and retreated.

Seeing the back of Lin Muxuan leaving, the Empress Dowager suddenly felt a little emotional, she squinted her old eyes and sighed: "This doctor Lin was inconspicuous in the palace in the past, the Ai family only thought that he was skilled in medicine and had a wide range of friends, but they never thought that there was such a thing as a doctor. He is truly a loyal and reliable person.”

Lin Muxuan never knew about the queen mother's evaluation.

After he went back, he shared his thoughts with Wen Zheng, borrowed a good carriage from the monk of Zhuyin Temple, and then set foot on the road back to the capital.

Sitting in the carriage, Wen Zheng lowered his head and played with the ivory token given by the Queen Mother, with a cold look in his eyes.

He has always felt that the Queen Mother is not that simple, but now it seems that Guo secretly left behind in the palace as he guessed.

Now Ye Kang is covering the sky with one hand in the capital, and has made a fake emperor, and no one in the palace can dismantle him. It can be seen that his domineering is unparalleled.

Furthermore, Ye Kang must have a lot of people in the palace to cover him, otherwise he would not be able to maintain the order of the court, and even use the emperor's order to search and arrest the capital!

Those who can respond to the Queen Mother's order at this time are definitely not ordinary chess pieces.

And in times of crisis, the queen mother dared not hand over her prosperity and wealth for the rest of her life as a bet.Those who can be used by this token must be dead men whom the Empress Dowager can entrust with wealth and honor.

"Your Majesty, the capital is just around the corner. When I send you into the city, I will go to Ye's house and ask the empress to help me."

Lin Muxuan shook his head slightly, but he still spoke out the Queen Mother's request.

The empress dowager's intentions cannot be ignored, and Ye Kang's doing such a treasonous thing will greatly implicate Ye Chu.

If he can't find a way to extract Ye Chu from this treason case, when Wen Zheng returns to the palace, he will either suppress Ye Kang's actions, or cover Ye Chu under the pressure of the officials.

But no matter how much Wen Zheng defended, he couldn't stop everyone talking.Ye Chu is not the kind of person who will allow others to deceive her. She will eventually hear those rumors that are not good for her.

Therefore, the best way is to let Ye Chu assist in the dispute. In this way, the ministers of the court will not be able to criticize Ye Chu, a meritorious minister, and the guilt is limited to Ye Kang alone.

Thinking of this, the gloomy expression on Wen Zheng's face finally faded.

"Although I am unwilling to let the queen be involved at this time, but the matter has come to this point... it has to be like this."

Wen Zheng nodded slightly, and he had resumed his appearance in the courtroom while speaking, with a bit of majesty in his eyebrows and eyes.

Lin Muxuan acted very quickly, took the documents prepared by the queen mother and passed through the city gate, first placed Wen Zheng in a safe place, and then tried every means to pass the news to Anzi who was hiding in Ye's house.

The previous steward who helped the two enter Ye's house had already been put into the dungeon by Ye Kang and suffered a lot of torture.However, the people Wen Zheng cultivated were hard-bodied men. Although they were severely tortured, they never spoke up and gave their companions a chance.

When Lin Muxuan came to find him, although Anzi showed hesitation, he still agreed.

The next day, when Ye Chu had breakfast, he suddenly felt something was wrong, and found a wooden bead from the meat porridge with a spoon.
