Chapter 418 The Secret History of the Royal Family
Only after Zhao Yuan made a big splash in Mercury Tower, Zhao Yuan's image can be said to be known to all women and children. Now that there is something going on at Baihua Tower, Zhao Yuan is not suitable to come forward.
If Zhao Yuan showed up at Baihua Tower, the entire imperial capital would probably know about it immediately.
Undoubtedly, letting them come forward to handle the matter tomorrow is the best choice.
Although Ming Ri Mingyue is crushed by Wan Ling'er, don't think they are incompetent.
Among the younger generation of masters in the world of cultivation, Ming Ri Mingyue is considered the best.
In fact, without the help of heresy such as Dan Fu, Wan Ling'er would not be the opponent of Ming Ri Mingyue at all. If Ming Ri Mingyue really fights against Wan Ling'er through all means, there is no telling who will win.
Now Ming Ri Mingyue has reached the first level of Intermediate Spiritual Energy, which is extremely rare in this world. There should be no problem in suppressing a small Baihua Tower.
After the agreement, they will take Mingyue to Baihua Tower tomorrow, while He Ling will find a way to inform Princess Wan'er and Princess Qiqi.
The next day, He Ling's message had reached the mouths of Princess Wan'er and Princess Qiqi.
"Qiqi, what should we do if Wan Ling'er wants to see us?" Princess Wan'er lost a lot of weight. Her father's sudden death made her miserable, and the struggle for power in the palace made her even more haggard.
"I'll see her if she wants!" Compared with Princess Wan'er, Princess Qiqi's expression is much calmer, and there is a faint majesty that is compelling.
"Will she come to the palace?" When she was in the Demon Core Continent, Wan'er was bullied by Wan Ling'er, and she already had psychological shadow.
"If a little Wan Ling'er could break into the palace, the Qin Empire would have been wiped out long ago." Princess Qiqi said calmly.
"But……"
"Now is the fasting period. If we secretly leave the palace, if our mother finds out, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Could it be Zhao Yuan who wants to see us?" Wan'er asked worriedly.
"He..." Thinking of the spring scenery in the caves of the Magic Core Continent and Zhao Yuan's unscrupulous frivolity in front of the heroes of the world that night at the Mercury Tower, a bright red color appeared on Princess Qiqi's face.
"Now that my mother is being suppressed by General Changkong, will she turn her anger on Zhao Yuan?"
"Now there is an undercurrent surging in the imperial capital. Zhao Yuan should have known the risks involved. Logically speaking, he should have retreated long ago... Eh... Zhao Yuan is a hero, meticulous in his work, and often bold and reckless. It is difficult for ordinary people to guess his actions.
In the hiding place, it is possible that he stayed in the imperial capital to inquire about the destruction of the Zhao family... He Ling is Zhao Yuan's fiancée... It seems that we really have to go to the He family." Princess Qiqi sighed.
"Great!" Princess Wan'er swept away the gloom and said happily.
"Zhao Yuan ate the love-forgetting grass and forgot many people, but he did not forget us. What is there to be happy about?" Princess Qiqi's eyes flashed with a hint of sadness.
"Hehe, I thought Qiqi didn't care." Princess Wan'er chuckled.
"Can I not care?" Qiqi looked depressed.
"Yes, Qiqi went to Wushan with Zhao Yuan..."
"Shut up!" Qiqi looked angry.
"Shut up, just shut up, what's the big deal!" Wan'er pouted.
"Wan'er, let Sixth Aunt make preparations and inform General Changkong."
"Ah...you still need to inform General Changkong?" Wan'er was stunned.
"This is an emergency. If we leave the palace without authorization, if our mother finds out, the consequences will be disastrous. We must let General Chang Kong know about it and take precautions before it happens."
"Okay, but will General Chang Kong suspect that we are meeting Zhao Yuan?" A trace of hesitation appeared on Wan'er's face.
"It doesn't matter whether the general knows it or not. Now he needs us to contain the queen mother and won't embarrass us."
"I've never understood why the general didn't just kill the queen mother?" Wan'er suddenly became murderous.
"After all, the Queen Mother is the queen of a country. Her mother honors the world. Now her status is even more noble. She is the Empress Dowager of the Great Qin Empire. Moreover, she has worked hard in the Great Qin Empire for decades. The power of the court is intertwined. If she is killed, it will definitely cause chaos in the imperial court.
Chaos... Of course, the most critical issue is that the queen mother is a cultivator. In addition to being powerful and surrounded by experts, whether the general can kill her is still a question. In addition, it is said..."
"What is said?" Wan'er asked quickly when she saw Qiqi pause.
"It is said that the Queen Mother is an undercover agent sent by the cultivation sect..."
"Ah..." Wan'er looked shocked. You must know that the royal family is most afraid of cultivators. In addition to not being allowed to contact cultivators, they are also strictly prohibited from marrying cultivators. All along, Wan'er thought that the queen was just being instigated.
The cultivator went astray, never dreaming that she was actually an undercover agent sent by the cultivator sect.
"At this time, my father occasionally mentioned it once, saying that my mother used some cultivation elixirs to control important officials in the court. Even, once in a while, my father was obsessed with cultivating immortality and did not participate in government affairs. Later, he was discovered by General Chang Kong. This
Only then did he suddenly wake up and step back from the brink. Later, his father took many measures to remedy the situation, but the mother-in-law had already taken root, and many important officials in the court were controlled. Moreover, although the Qin Empire had a law that the royal family was not allowed to practice Buddhism, there were no current subjects.
The law of cultivation, so my father can only suppress it secretly, but he cannot eradicate the root cause..."
"Is my father's sudden death this time related to my mother and queen?" Wan'er looked sad.
"I need to ask Zhao Yuan at this time."
"Why are you asking Zhao Yuan?" Wan'er was stunned.
"Two hours before my father's sudden death, I had a night conversation with Zhao Yuan Bingzhu. If my guess is correct, it was Zhao Yuan who gave my father the idea. Then my father took action, but my mother took precautions and took action first.
Strong..." Princess Qiqi's eyes sparkled with wisdom.
"Father..." Wan'er's face was already filled with tears.
"Wan'er, Queen Mother is under the control of the loyal General Changkong. We don't need to worry. Now, we need to worry about ourselves. The royal family is withering. At this time, we must be stronger!" Princess Qiqi!
Hold Wan'er's hand.
"Yes." Wan'er raised her head and nodded heavily towards Princess Qiqi.
The two pairs of white hands were clasped together and staring at each other. In her veins, noble blood was flowing...
…
Next to the late emperor's coffin, sitting on a carved chair, was a beautiful woman in plain clothes. She was the current empress dowager.
The Empress Dowager sat quietly beside the coffin, her body motionless like a lifeless sculpture.
The queen's eyes fell on the corpse of the late emperor from beginning to end.
He is really dead.
The married couple who had slept with her for decades were really dead.
In the eyes of the Empress Dowager, there was deep sorrow.
