When Yang Ji heard what Shi Jiang said, he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "You have a guilty conscience, right? You are a vicious woman, I will not let you go and make you regret what you have done."
Shi Jiang sneered, and slowly sat upright while leaning on the chaise longue.
Then he looked at Yang Ji with bright eyes and said word by word: "It seems that the Ai family was too kind-hearted at the beginning. I thought you still had some brains, but I didn't expect that the small fashion was good, but the big time failed.
The Ai family wants to see how the emperor did not spare the Ai family. I also want to see who will regret what they have done."
After saying that, there was a look of disgust in his eyes, and he waved to the eunuch and the maid to invite the emperor out of Cining Palace.
Saying "please" is actually the same as rushing.
Yang Ji thought Shi Jiang had a look of disgust, but for some reason, the scene when he asked his mother about it suddenly came to mind.
At that time, his mother asked him to think about it on his own, but he never figured it out.
Until he knew his life experience, he was in so much pain and resented his mother.
Now, he actually saw the disgusting look in his mother's eyes again, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.
When he came to his senses, he saw the Cining Palace door slamming shut. Yang Ji's face was full of disbelief that he was kicked out just like that.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother will definitely take action against you soon."
Yang Jian looked at Yang Ji with a worried look on his face, his eyes full of worry.
When Yang Ji heard this, he gritted his teeth and ordered directly.
He called the commander of the imperial army and asked him to bring a team of imperial guards to guard the door of Cining Palace and not allow anyone inside to come out.
The commander of the imperial army was confused, but the water in the palace was so deep, and it was better not to know things that he shouldn't know.
When Yang Jian heard Yang Ji's instructions, a subtle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
It was also his fault that the Queen Mother was too kind and soft-hearted. Eight years ago, he found the midwife who had delivered Qi Yue's baby.
In addition, one of the palace maids who served in Fengyi Palace back then, after her family was threatened, naturally followed his instructions and told Yang Ji that Qi Yue died after giving birth to him.
thing.
Yang Jian did not let anyone say clearly that it was the Queen Mother who attacked the emperor's biological mother.
He just said a few suggestive words, and then the emperor himself turned into a conspiracy about the death of his biological mother.
In addition, over the years, some people occasionally lamented the situation when the two brothers were studying together, which gave the emperor the illusion that he had no other relatives in the world except him, the emperor's brother. Under such brainwashing,
Naturally, the emperor softened his heart towards his brother.
After all, the queen who I thought was my strict mother turned out not to be my biological mother, and may have been the culprit who killed my biological mother.
Yang Ji naturally moved away from Shi Jiang and approached Yang Jian.
"The Queen Mother, what should we do now?"
When Xi Le heard the emperor's order, he felt angry but also a little anxious.
After all, if Cining Palace is sealed, the emperor will not be able to do whatever he wants in the future.
Shi Jiang clicked his tongue and secretly cursed Yang Ji for being so brainless.
"Go and tell the commander of the imperial army to drive out all the maids and eunuchs from Cining Palace and let him be kept alone."
Regarding the Queen Mother's request, the commander of the imperial army hesitated for a moment, and then went to report it to the emperor.
Yang Ji sneered when he heard that the Queen Mother had kicked out all the eunuchs and maids serving in Cining Palace.
"Let her go. Just keep the people under my watch, and no one is allowed to leave the palace."
It was good to let him go, so that he wouldn't have to worry about the Queen Mother sending people to contact others. Now that he was like this, he felt a lot more relieved.
Yang Jian, on the other hand, showed a solemn expression on his face when he heard the Queen Mother's request.
As far as he knew, the Queen Mother was not such an angry and impulsive person!
However, the Emperor has already said this, and if he talks too much, it will be superfluous. It is better to just watch the Queen Mother and see what tricks she can come up with.
Thinking of this, Yang Jian secretly sent people to guard the courtyard of the eunuchs and maids who had been driven out of Cining Palace and locked up, making sure not to let a single mosquito fly out of the courtyard.
Four or five days have passed in a row, and there has been no movement among the eunuchs and maids, let alone the Cining Palace. Now only the Queen Mother and her personal maid, Aunt Xie, are left.
Just when Yang Ji was waiting for the Queen Mother to give in to him, that night, Yang Ji was woken up by a loud noise.
Frowning, he sat up from the queen's side and saw the eunuch next to him coming to report in a panic.
"Your Majesty, Cining Palace is on fire."
Upon hearing this, Yang Ji's expression changed drastically. He lifted up the quilt and ran towards Cining Palace barefoot without even having time to put on his clothes.
Before he could get closer, he could see the raging fire shooting into the sky from Cining Palace, burning the entire sky red.
Yang Ji asked with red eyes: "Why did the fire happen? Where is the Queen Mother? Where is the commander of the Forbidden Army? Is he dead?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the commander of the imperial army's face was covered with black coal, and his hair was burnt and smelled bad.
"Your Majesty, the fire in Cining Palace started in the Queen Mother's palace. When the ministers sent people to climb over the wall to put out the fire, the fire had spread to several palaces, especially the Queen Mother's palace, which was inaccessible at all.
.The Queen Mother, I’m afraid it’s more bad than good.”
Having said this, the commander of the imperial army lowered his head slightly. He just felt that he was really unlucky.
I was sent here to guard, but I didn't expect something like this to happen.
When Yang Ji heard this, he staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, there was a eunuch supporting him.
Just when his mind was dull and confused, and his heart was filled with panic, the sound of fighting suddenly came out.
"Your Majesty, the regent has entered the palace!"
A eunuch covered in blood approached Yang Ji. After saying these words, he was chopped to the ground with a knife.
Yang Ji's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at the man holding the knife in his hand.
"Yunjin, how dare you?"
Yun Jin glanced deeply at the Cining Palace with the red sky, then turned her head and sneered at Yang Ji.
"Why don't you dare? Your throne was just stolen by the Queen Mother for you. Since the Queen Mother is no longer here, then your throne will naturally be occupied by a capable person. What's more, you just listen to villains and are so stupid.
How can a person like me be worthy of being the king of a country? When the Cui family rebelled, you were able to forgive them, and I think you should be able to forgive me for what I am doing now."
After saying that, he directly waved his hand and picked up the embarrassed Yang Jian behind him. He raised the knife and dropped it. Yang Ji saw Yang Jian's head rolling down at his feet, just like when Cui Xiang's head was cut off.
