Chapter 184 Chapter 184, Queen Mother He’s speculation

Marquis Changxin?

Queen Mother He was stunned. As a woman who had lived in the palace for a long time, she was usually boring, but she had read a lot of history books. How could she be unfamiliar with the name Changxinhou?

The reason why Lao Ai will be remembered in history is not only that he was a stumbling block for Qin Shihuang's pro-government, but also because he successfully captured the heart of the mother of the Eternal Emperor... and gave birth to two younger brothers for the Eternal Emperor.

As the empress dowager, Empress Dowager He was naturally also very interested in Lao Ai.

Strictly speaking, Mr. Xiao is quite similar to Lao Ai. If the title of Marquis Changxin falls on him, wouldn't it be...

Queen Mother He thought about it and couldn't help but feel involved in it. She felt her cheeks were a little hot and subconsciously touched her lower abdomen.

However, I did not feel the expected fetal breath as I wished. Obviously, the overnight joy failed to successfully create a new life.

She was disappointed, but also felt a little lucky.

The reason for the loss is that as her son grows up and inherits the throne of the supreme king in the world, he spends less and less time with her, and he cannot help but look forward to the birth of a new life to accompany her.

As for the luck, it was because of the lessons learned from the previous generations, Chang Xinhou and Zhao Ji, and the fate of their two children.

Queen Mother He knew very well that if she was really pregnant, once the matter was revealed, the consequences would be disastrous.

It is precisely because of these factors that I have such a complicated mood: I want it, but I don’t dare to ask for it.

At this time, Empress Dowager He suddenly thought of a question and asked softly: "You just said, who invited the post of Changxinhou?"

"It is said that he is the prime minister's adviser, Guo Jia."

"Guo Jia?"

When Queen Mother He heard this name, she couldn't help but recall something in her mind.

There are rumors that both the death of Jian Shuo and the death of his brother are related to this person.

Because the last person with vested interests is Liu Bei, if this matter is related to him, then it is not surprising that this strategy came from Guo Jia.

Thinking about Xiao Yan's disappearance again, Queen Mother He suddenly thought of an extremely terrible result. If confirmed, she would find it difficult to accept it.

"No, he would never do this to Aijia..."

Queen Mother He murmured to herself, her face filled with all kinds of complicated expressions, sadness, anger, loss...tears welled up unsatisfactorily.

"My Lady, what's wrong with you?" The maid on the side was startled by her sudden reaction.

For a long time, Queen Mother He suppressed her chaotic thoughts, but her slightly trembling hands still betrayed her mood at the moment.

"Summon the Marquis of Jiyang into the palace immediately."

"Yes, empress."

The Marquis of Jiyang He Miao, the half-brother of the Queen Mother He, controlled two thousand Yulin troops.

Although Liu Bei took control of Luoyang, he did not return all military power to his close associates. Therefore, after He Miao showed his intention to surrender, he retained 2,000 men for him.

An hour later, He Miao arrived at Yongle Palace.

"My lord, please see the Queen Mother."

"Brother, there is no need to be polite." Empress Dowager He waved her hand slightly, signaling her brother to stand up, and then said, "I summoned my brother to the palace this time because I have something to ask for."

"My dear, it doesn't matter if you say so."

"The Ai family wants you to verify whether Xiao Yan is Guo Jia."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Miao's expression changed dramatically.

He didn't know Xiao Yan. Although he had never met him, he had arranged for him to enter the palace in order to unite with Jian Shuo to fight against He Jin.

But everything changed too quickly later. He Jin died, Jian Shuo also died, and then the Bingzhou Army and the Xiliang Army entered Beijing.

After a great battle, as the victor, Liu Bei successfully took control of Luoyang and became the number one prince in the world.

After that, Xiao Yan disappeared. It was He Miao who was appointed by the Empress Dowager to search for this person. This brother was also the last person she could rely on now.

"Why would your Majesty have such an idea?"

After He Miao thought carefully, he found that the possibility was not small, because he had heard Jian Shuo mention that Xiao Yan was probably Dong Zhuo, or someone under Liu Bei's command.

It was just that after Liu Bei took over Luoyang, he was busy with his affairs and ignored this person. Now that his sister reminded him, he felt that this guess was very possible.

Of course, this is just a guess.

The Queen Mother He did not want to reveal the trouble between herself and "Mr. Xiao" and did not explain too much.

"Go find a skilled painter and draw Guo Jia's appearance. Once the Ai family sees him, they will be able to tell whether Xiao Yan is Guo Jia."

At the end of the sentence, Queen Mother He's tone already sounded a bit gritty.

He deceived her feelings, harmed her brother, and finally left her cruelly... Guo Jia, such a long-term trustworthy marquis, if he is really a fool, the Ai family will never give up.

He Miao could hear the resentment in her words, but she didn't doubt him. She just thought she was angry about the death of her eldest brother.

"The Queen Mother, Guo Jia is a popular figure in front of the Prime Minister, please think twice!"

This is to remind my sister that the power of the government is now under Liu Bei's control, and it is not easy to influence the famous person in front of him.

Empress Dowager He snorted coldly: "The Ai family has its own way of making fun of Guo Jia. All I have to do is find his portrait for me."

She didn't know that Liu Bei had monopolized power, but even so, he couldn't treat the Queen Mother and the Emperor as nothing. The worst case scenario was that the Ai family would go all out and accuse him of defiling the Queen Mother, and then we'd see how Liu Bei would end up.

"My lord, I obey the order."

He Miao knew that his sister had been stubborn since she was a child, and he could not persuade her to do anything she decided to do, so she could only act according to orders.

——

Marquis Changxin.

When the decree of canonization was issued to the Guo family, the Guo family was stunned.

The Marquis was right, but the name was wrong.

Little Guo Yi tilted his head and asked: "Father, is Lao Ai of the Qin Dynasty called Chang Xinhou?"

"Yes."

"Is he having an affair with the Queen Mother?"

"yes!"

"Father, what about you?"

Xiao Guo Yi's final soul torture shocked everyone.

Su Meiniang immediately lectured: "How can you say such nonsense?"

Xiao Guo Yi suddenly felt aggrieved, so he just said it casually.

Guo Jia has a strange expression on his face. What a good boy, he is so accurate at looking at his father!

But of course he would not admit it, and let this kind of thing become a secret forever, scattered in the wind and buried in the soil.

So he also reprimanded in a deep voice: "Is it because your father is too indulgent to you, so that you become so outspoken?"

Little Guo Pi also didn't miss the opportunity to arrange his brother, and echoed: "Father, my son suggested that I confine my brother to confinement for three days, so that he can understand the principle of gaining wisdom through every hardship."

"good!"

Xiao Guo Yi's face suddenly fell.

Ever since, this genius who was the only one to guess the truth was treated inhumanely.

Cai Yan looked at Guo Jia thoughtfully. Through her understanding of this man's character, she suddenly had some doubts that her husband might really have the courage to get involved with the Queen Mother.

When he was still a student, he hooked up with a widow. When he came to Luoyang with a heavy responsibility, the first thing he did was to write letters to her, a newly widowed widow.

Cai Yan couldn't think of anything that this person wouldn't dare to do...especially as the mother of a country, how exciting!
