The palace is already a piece of plain.

Song Qingzhai had just stepped into the palace gate when he met the inner eunuch who came to welcome him——Liu Fu, the chief eunuch next to Empress Liu.

It can be seen that the inner palace has been completely taken over by Empress Liu.

The Empress Dowager Niu stayed in Ganquan Palace for the time being, and she will be buried in the Emperor's Mausoleum with the late Emperor after three months.

Ministers of civil and military affairs and royal family members were all in the outer hall, and the inner and outer wives guarded the spirit of the Queen Mother Niu in the inner hall in silence.

Although Song Qingzhai has a distinguished status, his seniority in the clan is not high, so his position is not high.

When Zhou Qi was walked over with the support of Empress Liu and Zhou Chengyu, Song Qingzhai didn't even notice it immediately.

Zhou Qi's face was ashen and his spirit was listless. If it wasn't for Empress Liu and Zhou Chengyu, he would have fallen to the ground at any time.

Even though Song Qingzhai hid himself in the crowd and deliberately lowered his sense of presence, Zhou Qi discovered him immediately, and his eyes were filled with anger.

Empress Liu whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, please fulfill your promise."

Zhou Qi looked away, and suddenly coughed loudly.

Empress Liu quickly covered his mouth with a handkerchief.

Civil and military officials, royal family members and even the wives inside and outside the apse all knelt down and saluted.

Zhou Qi's weak voice sounded above everyone's heads: "Masters, I am so sad that I have lost my mother... I can't help myself... I wanted to keep the coffin myself, but...cough cough..."

He coughed violently.

Zhou Chengqian raised his head, with a worried expression on his face: "Father, my son is willing to preside over here instead of Father."

A gleam of joy flashed in Zhou Qi's eyes, but there was a tinge of pain in the arm supported by Empress Liu. Empress Liu said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the tiger's poison doesn't eat its offspring. Could it be that Your Majesty is going to drag the First Prince into the abyss?"

Zhou Qi concealed his anger and passed out.

Empress Liu ordered Zhou Chengyu to personally send Zhou Qi back to the bedroom, and said in a gentle voice: "It's rare that the eldest prince has such filial piety, and it's not in vain that the empress dowager loved you in every possible way during her lifetime.

"Your Majesty's dragon body violates the harmony, I am really worried, so I will entrust it to the First Prince."

Zhou Chenggan was overjoyed.Xu Ji should also enter the palace, if he takes power, he will have a chance to get close to her...

Song Qingzhai sighed quietly.

If Zhou Cheng didn't do anything, he wouldn't make any mistakes, but he took the initiative...

That night, Zhou Chengqian sent Hu Song, a powerful eunuch beside him, to the apse to ask the wives inside and outside to rest temporarily, and took the opportunity to look for Xu Ji.

When Hu Song came back, Zhou Chengqian's mood fell instantly, "What's going on? The emperor's grandmother Bintian, as the princess granted by the emperor's favor, why didn't she enter the palace to guard the spirit?"

Hu Song lowered his head deeply, "The servant has inquired about it, and said that the princess was overly frightened last night..."

"Scared? What's the matter?" Zhou Chenggan frowned, "What's wrong? She lives next door to the Great General's Palace, and she is protected by Uncle Song Huang. How can she be surprised?"

There are many concubines in Zhou Chengqian's mansion. For pleasure, he also dug a hot spring pool in the mansion, and played with the beauties until midnight before going to bed. The house is deep, and he really didn't hear any movement outside.

When he got up early in the morning, he received the news that the Queen Mother Niu had passed away, so he hurriedly changed his clothes and entered the palace, but it was too late to receive the news.

Hu Song already knew it, and at this moment, he was still in a panic. It turned out that there were thieves patrolling near the First Prince's Mansion last night, but they were quickly dispersed by the Wucheng soldiers and horses, and the First Prince's Mansion did not suffer any losses.

Seeing no one around, Hu Song leaned close to Zhou Chenggan, and briefly talked about what happened last night in his ear.
