"It's a coincidence that the Marquis of Xiguan, Mu Miu, came to the court in person this time."
Ye Wanwan leaned lazily on the back of the chair, tapping the armrests with her fingertips. Almost all the people who were supposed to come had arrived, and the invitations from the palace were also sent out. This time will definitely be exciting.
Qingsha walked in with a not-so-good look on her face: "Madam, there is news from the palace that the Empress Dowager is critically ill and insists on seeing you."
Ye Wanwan raised her eyes slightly. She had forgotten that there was a Queen Mother in the palace.
He lowered his eyes and said, "The new emperor didn't make things difficult for her. She had delicious food and drinks, and there was an imperial doctor specially waiting on her. How come she is critically ill?"
Ye Wanwan hated the Empress Dowager, but she never thought about letting her die, so everything was arranged according to the best arrangement, although the Empress Dowager didn't think so.
Feng Wei did not dare to abuse her. She had only become the Queen Mother for a year. She could not bear the crime of murdering the Queen Mother, and Zhao Zhuo could not bear the crime of such great unfilial piety. Therefore, the Queen Mother seemed to be imprisoned, but in fact, her life was not the same.
Not sad.
All her cronies around her have been retained. Except for the fact that she cannot contact the outside world, everything is as usual. There is also an imperial doctor who specializes in taking care of her. She is using the best medicinal materials. How could she be critically ill?
Seeing that the New Emperor's banquet is about to come, I can't sit still.
Naturally, Ye Wanwan was not in a hurry to enter the palace, so she asked Aunt Lin to go in and check it out. The Empress Dowager was really 'sick'. It was said that she was quite seriously ill, and her face was so pale that her face was drained of blood. She seemed to be ready at any time.
Being able to let go is like a human being.
Ye Wanwan felt that Feng Wei, the Queen Mother, had really neglected her duties. The harem was firmly in her hands. How could the Queen Mother still send news to her?
Ye Wanwan raised her hand to pick up a petal, looking behind Aunt Lin to look at the rickety eunuch: "Eunuch Wang, long time no see."
Aunt Lin was shocked. She quickly turned around and looked at the old eunuch whose appearance was unrecognizable among the crowd. She couldn't believe it: "Wang Wei?"
The old eunuch suddenly laughed, his ordinary and honest face seemed a bit inconsistent. He raised his hand and took off his mask, and it turned out to be Wang Wei.
Aunt Lin's eyes almost popped out of her head. She just brought a eunuch out to ask questions. How could she become the empress dowager's personal eunuch?
"lady......"
Ye Wanwan pressed her hand soothingly: "It's not your fault. This is Eunuch Wang. I'm not surprised that I can deceive you. Please step aside and I'll have a few words with Eunuch Wang."
Aunt Lin held the handkerchief, glared at Wang Wei unwillingly, and then left.
Wang Wei bowed and bowed to Ye Wanwan with great respect: "Old slave, I would like to pay my respects to my young master."
"The old slave has shown all his housekeeping skills. I didn't expect that he still couldn't deceive the young master."
Ye Wanwan was stunned when she was called "little mistress". In the past, Ye Wanwan often walked around the Yingfei palace and called Miss Ye too distant, so they all called her "little mistress". It wasn't until she became a noble concubine that she changed her name to empress.
And she hadn't heard this call "little master" for too many years.
"Eunuch Wang tried every means to see me and still called me master. Could it be that he was betraying his master?"
Wang Wei shook his head: "I have been with the Queen Mother for many years. I have a deep love between master and servant. I only want to serve the Queen Mother until the day when I die."
Ye Wanwan chuckled: "Then what are you doing? What order did she give you to kill me?"
Wang Wei shook his head again: "My little master was raised by my old slave. How can I do it to you?"
She was honest and did not deny that the Empress Dowager had an order to kill her.
Ye Wanwan didn't understand: "Then what do you want to do?"
Wang Wei sighed and knelt down: "My young master, please save the life of the Empress Dowager."
The Empress Dowager is really ill, but it is not her body that is ill, but her spirit.
The pain of losing her son, the hatred of losing power, and the resentment of being imprisoned. The better her body is nursed back to health, the more intense the darkness of her spirit becomes.
After being imprisoned for a whole year, she never gave up her resistance.
Although the Empress Dowager lost her power, there was no shortage of people in the court to provide her with help. The cause of Zhao Yi's death was strange, and not without suspicion.
There were emperors and courtiers. The courtiers were busy fighting for the new distribution of power and had long forgotten the late emperor. However, the late emperor also had loyal ministers. They did not recognize Zhao Zhuo as the emperor and believed that he was also involved in the murder of the late emperor.
They were loyal to the late emperor and must seek justice for the late emperor, but such a matter required a leader, and the Empress Dowager was the perfect candidate.
The late emperor's own mother was extremely noble. Who else is more suitable than her to seek justice for the late emperor?
Ever since she hooked up with those people, the Empress Dowager's entire mental state has changed. She may look depressed to outsiders, but in fact she is sharpening her knife with great excitement behind her back.
She wanted to avenge the late emperor, bring order to the chaos, and kill Ye Wanwan, her ruthless and unjust niece.
As the most caring and closest person to the Empress Dowager, Wang Wei saw everything and never said anything. He was loyal to the Empress Dowager and naturally obeyed her in everything.
But now, this is the only time he goes against the wishes of the Empress Dowager.
After talking about the Queen Mother's plan, Wang Wei asked Ye Wanwan: "My young master, do you think the Queen Mother will succeed?"
Ye Wanwan sighed and shook her head: "I really didn't receive any news about this matter."
But it was precisely her failure to receive it that proved that the Empress Dowager would never be able to fulfill her wish.
The Empress Dowager was surrounded by her people, but there were also people from the Emperor and the Queen Mother, as well as spies from all sides who could not be distinguished.
It seems to have been forgotten, but in fact, it is being watched by countless pairs of eyes. The so-called conspiracy of the Empress Dowager is probably carried out under their noses. They did not stop it, but they wanted to wait for the opportunity to act, or it was simply a set up by some people.
Bureau.
How many people are sincerely loyal to the late emperor who died and want to avenge him?
To avenge the late emperor and question the current emperor, but after Zhao Zhuo was pulled down by them, who would get the throne?
Except for the Empress Dowager who really wants to avenge her son, who else dares to say that there are no other intentions and conspiracies?
In this conspiracy, the Empress Dowager was just a pawn that they exposed openly. When the conspiracy broke out, the Empress Dowager was still a pawn. If they failed, the Empress Dowager was the shield.
It's not some clever trick, it's just a trick to seek power and usurp the throne.
The most unbearable thing to think about is that Ye Wanwan has no idea that she has been away from Beijing for several months. It is not surprising that she does not know these things, but Yan Chen can't help but know that she has been back for so long and there is no news at all.
Therefore, the only possibility is that Yanchen doesn't want her to know, and others don't want her to know either.
Yan Chen never mentioned that the Empress Dowager almost killed him with a stick, but he should have hated it.
It would be normal if he took this opportunity to seek revenge. If he didn't tell her, he was probably afraid of embarrassing her. Even if she imprisoned the Empress Dowager herself, it didn't mean that she would really turn a blind eye.
Just like now, Wang Weiqiu was in front of her.
Someone wants the Empress Dowager to die, should she save him or not?
