The Child Emperor

A large number of eunuchs and court ladies in the palace were imprisoned, and they had to be recruited from the outside. This is how Bu Hengru and others came in. None of the waiters around the empress dowager knew them. It feels like a pet dog that has been raised carefully for many years, suddenly ran away from him, pounced on a stranger, shook his head and tail, and whined, and was a hundred times more affectionate than he was to his old owner.

The Empress Dowager is not a "love dog". She carries practical meaning and interests. There are several eunuchs and maids in the Palace of Compassion and Ning who came from the Prince's Mansion. Especially, they couldn't believe what they saw. One of them stepped forward boldly. , "Emperor Dowager, these people..."

The imperial concubine turned around and said to the old attendants: "The sky is full of disasters, the earth is shaking and the mountains are shaking, and the mountains and rivers of Dachu are not stable. I am acting according to the order of the emperor and the queen mother. You don't need to panic. Stay in the Palace of Compassion and Ning to wait for orders. Anyone who dares to go out privately Kill without mercy."

The imperial concubine left with the emperor and the king of the East China Sea, followed by more than 20 new eunuchs who came from nowhere, and closed the palace gate outside, leaving four people guarding under the porch, opened the hem of the clothes, and took out the clothes hidden by the legs. The short knife is shocking even before it is unsheathed.

Dozens of eunuchs and maids in the courtyard retreated one after another, the horror in their hearts was stronger than that of the earthquake.

The little eunuch Zhang Youcai ran to the palace maid Tong Qing'e and said in a low voice, "I think it's about time."

"But Your Majesty hasn't given the password yet." Tong Qing'e only felt her legs go weak.

"Your Majesty said it with his eyes, didn't you see it?"

Tong Qing'e has been flustered since the earthquake, and she is not even sure whether the emperor has seen her.

Han Ruzi did wink at Tong Qing'e, and then Bu Hengru and the others dragged her away, barely touching the ground, and had no chance to speak.

After leaving the Compassionate Ning Palace, the imperial concubine stopped and asked: "Have the gates leading to the inner palace been guarded?"

Bu Hengru nodded, "The south, north, and west gates are all guarded, but we must get the Queen Mother's order as soon as possible, so as not to be suspicious."

"Okay." The Empress Dowager walked towards the Empress Dowager's Cishun Palace.

The King of the East China Sea followed her closely, "How did Han Ruzi know our plan? Who leaked the secret?"

"Of course it's your good cousin. She regards herself as a real queen and must stand by the emperor's side." The imperial concubine said without thinking.

"Hey, stinky girl, you are disobedient at home, and you just turn your elbows outside when you get married. Let's see how I deal with her in the future." Donghai King said bitterly, still a little worried in his heart, "It won't be a bad thing, even he knows Now, will the Queen Mother..."

"No." The Empress Dowager was very sure.

The king of Donghai was relieved a little, and glanced at the emperor who was held hostage by the eunuch, "Why don't you speak?"

Han Ruzi remained silent on the road, didn't even make any resistance, and obediently followed the empress dowager, even the eunuch beside him let go of his hands, "There's nothing to say." He didn't look at the king of the East China Sea.

"I told you a long time ago, you have to learn to please..." The King of Donghai shut up. In front of him was the Cishun Palace. There were at least 15 eunuchs guarding the gate.

Standing in the middle is the eunuch Zuo Ji.

Han Ruzi felt a little relieved, he had at least reminded one person next to the Queen Mother.

The group stopped, the imperial concubine and Zuo Ji looked at each other for a moment, and said, "Do you have any questions, Mr. Zuo?"

Zuo Ji's eyes swept across the faces of the new eunuchs in front of and behind the empress dowager, and stepped aside, "Emperor dowager, please enter Cishun Palace, slaves are waiting to guard the palace gate."

The imperial concubine walked in, Han Ruzi was really taken aback this time, staring at Zuo Ji, Zuo Ji also looked at him, the corners of his mouth twitched in mockery, and immediately raised his hand to press the scar on his face.

"Zuo Ji was also brought over by the imperial concubine?" The King of the East China Sea whispered excitedly, and immediately felt a little dissatisfied, "You should have told me earlier."

"Responsiveness, how can I tell you everything?" said the imperial concubine.

Han Ruzi suddenly realized that he was the one who caused the imperial concubine to fight in advance. He provoked Zuo Ji to fight with the imperial concubine, but the result was just the opposite. Angry, even the Queen Mother hated it.

Perhaps this was the Empress Dowager's scheme. Han Ruzi had his last hope, but as soon as he entered the inner courtyard of Cishun Palace, this hope was shattered.

There was no one in the courtyard, the door of the main room was open, and the Empress Dowager stood at the door, with only two attendants beside her, one of whom was Wang Meiren.

Han Ruzi took a step forward and called, "Mother."

Bu Hengru pulled back the emperor, Han Ruzi shook his arm, did not break free, stopped resisting, nodded to his mother, and Wang Meiren also nodded to his son, showing a slight smile, and said nothing.

Most of the eunuchs brought by Bu Hengru stayed outside the palace, only he and three others followed.

The king of the East China Sea stepped aside, watching with a smile on his face, he was not in a hurry to speak, but wanted to watch a good show.

The Shangguan sisters stared at each other.

The imperial concubine spoke first, "When did you know that?"

"Just now." The queen mother's voice was calm, as if she had expected this scene long ago, "Zuo Ji called the people around me away, saying that he wanted to relieve the disaster, and I understood it. After much deliberation, the entire palace You are the only one with this ability."

The king of the East China Sea curled his lips in disdain, because many things were his ideas, and the imperial concubine was just the executor.

"Thanks to the empress dowager for looking at it." The voice of the imperial concubine also became flat, "Then I don't need to say anything more, and I am sorry for the empress dowager to draw up a few orders."

Han Ruzi thought that the queen mother would react a bit, even if she didn't sternly reprimand, she should have shown anger, but she didn't, she nodded slightly, turned around and entered the room, as if she really wanted to draw up an order.

Instead, it was King of the East China Sea, Bu Hengru and others who were surprised.

Only the imperial concubine did not show any surprise, and said to Han Ruzi: "Please, Your Majesty, I will ask you to write an imperial decree later."

In the empress dowager's bedroom, the only lady-in-waiting was already trembling with fright, and it was difficult to spread paper, let alone grind ink. Wang Meiren took over and prepared everything. The empress dowager nodded to her to express her gratitude.

Bu Hengru took out a few pieces of paper from his bosom, all of which were written decrees, and asked the queen mother to copy them, and took a step forward to send them over, but met the queen mother's stern and uncompromising gaze, Bu Hengru hesitated, and then turned back resentfully. In the original position, hand the paper to the empress dowager.

Wang Meiren walked over, took the paper from the imperial concubine, and put it on the table, without looking at her son who was close at hand.

The Empress Dowager looked at the paper on the table, did not reach for a pen for a long time, turned her head and asked, "Why? I really can't think of any place where I have treated you badly."

The imperial concubine said coldly: "You killed my son."

"Did you forget that you took the medicine voluntarily at the beginning?"

"It's not the unborn child, but Sidi. I raised him since he was a child, and he is his real mother. You are not worthy."

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows slowly, "I was the one who conceived for nine months, not you. And I didn't kill him, why would I kill my own child and make someone else the emperor?"

"Because Sidi discovered your secret."

"That's our secret. Even so, I can't kill him." The queen mother finally showed some excitement in her voice.

The King of the East China Sea persuaded: "It's all a matter of the past. If there is no result in the dispute, let's write the Yizhi first. Later, the empress dowager will have to go to the Qinzheng Hall to meet the ministers."

The Queen Mother still stared at her younger sister, "The Cui family is the source of disaster, you know it very well, but you still turned to that bitch."

"Are you talking about my mother?" Donghai King stared, "Queen Mother, for your own sake, it's better to be more polite to my mother from now on."

"It's useless to talk too much, please draw up an order with the Empress Dowager." The Empress Dowager didn't want to argue any more.

The queen mother sighed softly, picked up the pen, and wrote the decree according to the content provided by the eunuch, temporarily relinquishing the power of Qinzheng Hall to listen to the government to the empress dowager, while she herself had to stay in the palace to fast and pray for gods.

The king of Donghai pretended to be relaxed and said: "This earthquake came so timely, it was much more perfect than our original plan to set the fire on fire, and the steps are so fast, won't you be hopeful? Why didn't you expect the earthquake beforehand?"

Bu Hengru said with a smile: "The secret must not be leaked. Master made a decisive decision last night and decided to start the incident in advance. Isn't it just a prediction?"

The King of the East China Sea also laughed.

Hearing the word "Wang Qi", Han Ruzi thought of someone, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you a disciple of Chunyu Xiao from Qi State?"

Bu Hengru nodded with a smile, "Exactly, even His Majesty knows my master's name."

Donghai King corrected coldly, "He will no longer be His Majesty soon."

The Queen Mother finished writing a few edicts, put down the pen, turned and walked to the side, and Wang Meiren followed closely, never leaving.

Han Ruzi felt that this was his mother's hint to him: he would rather stand by the Empress Dowager than submit to the Empress Dowager and the Cui family.

When it was his turn to write the imperial decree, Bu Hengru took out another written paper, spread it on the table by himself, took away the Queen Mother's decree, read it once, was very satisfied, and handed it to the empress dowager.

Han Ruzi took a rough look at the written text, it was an edict of guilt, stating that the emperor should be responsible for the earthquake, and he fasted for ten consecutive days to see the aftermath. Lie Zongyun said, this is a hint that the emperor may abdicate due to divine punishment.

The queen mother didn't resist, and he didn't need to, so it was written correctly.

The imperial concubine has all the necessary orders, and the empress dowager's seal is in her hands, only the emperor's imperial edict needs to be sealed by Jing Yao, "I will go to the Qinzheng Hall, you stay here."

The King of the East China Sea was not at ease, "Wait, let's make things right at the end. Is there any problem with Jingyao?"

"No problem, he was persuaded, the only request is to get rid of Yang Feng afterwards." Bu Hengru replied, he was responsible for many things.

"Where are the masters around the Queen Mother? Especially the Meng brothers and sisters, they must be eliminated as soon as possible."

"They were all led out of the capital by my master, and they won't survive tonight." Bu Hengru said affirmatively.

The King of the East China Sea thought for a while, "My uncle will be able to rush back to the capital within three days at most. By then... you all work hard, and I will remember your contributions."

The king of the East China Sea began to call himself "Zhen", but the empress dowager and Bu Hengru did not kneel down to bow to the courtiers, but bowed slightly.

The empress dowager left, Bu Hengru and the other three stood guard at the door, the king of the East China Sea found a place to sit down, his eyes swept over several "prisoners", and finally looked at the empress dowager, "To be honest, I have been quite worried, I thought there would be twists and turns, but in the end even God helped me, hehe, you are not as powerful as I imagined."

Sitting on the couch in the middle, the queen mother said coldly: "If twists and turns happen here, I, the queen mother, will be in vain."

The King of Donghai laughed, "Do you think the ministers in the Qinzheng Palace will help you? They don't care who is the queen mother, and they don't even know what happened in the inner palace."

Having said that, the King of Donghai was still a little uneasy, turned his head and said to Bu Hengru at the door: "These three people know martial arts, so it's fine for them to stay. You go to Qinzheng Hall to help the imperial concubine."

Unexpectedly, Bu Hengru shook his head, "No, my duty is to stay at Cishun Palace."

"Your duty?" Donghai King couldn't believe his ears, "My order is duty!"

Bu Heng remained unmoved, Han Ruzi stood in front of the table, and said at this time: "King of the East China Sea, don't you understand? You are also a prisoner just like us."
