Everything the queen says is right
Chapter 217 Chapter 217, why are you here?
The words were spoken in front of everyone, but the audience was a few married women who stepped forward without any idea.
She still wants to chat with the queen, who has time to deal with these fateful ladies?
In this way, the queen and Acha left one after the other.
Although they were leaving, they did not conceal their whereabouts at all and went straight to the Imperial Garden.
"You all should stand down and leave everything under guard for me."
The queen arrived at the Royal Garden first, and as soon as she saw Ah Cha coming, she quickly gave orders to the palace attendants, her voice was quite low, as if she was deliberately letting Ah Cha hear her.
Acha smiled lightly and didn't say much.
She wanted to see what kind of cards the queen was trying to play by doing so many things.
"My Lady Goddess, you can come with me. I have already ordered people to prepare food."
"Ah."
What Ah Cha needs to maintain now is his aloof persona. He must make the Queen feel unfathomable, so that he can take more initiative after the detailed discussion.
But the queen was also proactive. As soon as Acha sat down, her words came out.
"I have invited the goddess here today because I also want to talk to you about the prince."
Ah Cha became interested and stared at her directly.
"Oh? The queen wants to talk to me about the prince's affairs?"
"About the crown prince's succession."
Ah Cha didn't expect that the queen would hit the ball so hard right from the start.
"Queen, I am just a goddess. No matter who takes the throne, it has nothing to do with me."
The queen shook her head and immediately denied her words.
"No, it has something to do with the goddess."
"I am the prince's biological mother. Naturally, I know the prince's thoughts very well. I have also heard that the prince and his staff have repeatedly sought out the goddess."
"I also know that the prince now has great trust in the goddess, so I also have a request."
The queen became sad as she spoke, and her whole body was enveloped in a faint sadness.
But this is a big puzzle for Ah Cha.
No, she wasn't hallucinating, was she? The majestic queen actually made a request to herself?
She looked at the queen up and down several times, trying to see any clues on her face.
But before she could get any clues, the queen's question came again.
"My Lady Goddess, are you unwilling to agree to my request?"
This time the queen's words were filled with tears.
Ah Cha felt very baffled, but rarely asked the Queen, and just nodded silently.
"Well, then you can tell me."
After receiving her approval, the Queen was so excited that she ignored her image and knelt down directly towards her.
Yes, I really just knelt down.
With the Queen kneeling like this, Ah Cha was really at a loss.
"Queen, if you have any requests, just speak up. There is no need to pay such a big courtesy to me."
As he said this, Ah Cha tried hard to help the queen up.
She has never been used to others kneeling down to her.
She felt like her life span would be shortened when others kneeled down on her. No matter how tortured they were, this was not the way to go.
When she changes this feudal system, the first thing she will definitely do is abolish this etiquette.
She thought so, but the queen who was kneeling on the ground still refused to get up.
"No, Lady Goddess, I cannot speak out my request."
Ok?
Can't you get up and say it?
Ah Cha couldn't pull her back, and the queen still insisted on kneeling like this. She was completely helpless.
"Then please hurry up, I have to take a nap."
She really didn't want to face such a queen kneeling on the ground.
"My Lady Goddess, I beg you, never let the Crown Prince succeed to the throne."
what? !
Not only did the queen use her own title, she actually did not want the prince to succeed her.
This shocked Ah Cha at all. She pursed her lips tightly and looked at the Queen with a probing look.
The queen was not frightened by her eyes at all, and continued speaking on her own.
"The prince is the flesh and blood that fell from my body. No one knows his temper better than me."
"The prince is not suitable for the throne at all. In terms of intelligence, talent, literary skills, and military skills required by the emperor, he is the one with the lowest qualifications among all the princes. In terms of benevolence, the prince does not have the slightest bit of kindness."
"Even if you say the prince is stupid, you are looking down upon him. If it weren't for the group of staff around him, the prince would not be where he is today."
"His Majesty was willing to make him the prince back then, but he just fell in love with the prince's stupidity."
"But if the prince really succeeds to the throne, it will be extremely irresponsible not only for himself but also for the people of the world."
The Queen's words surprised Acha.
She really didn't expect that the queen would see the prince's things so thoroughly.
"Then why don't you want the prince to succeed you?"
The queen mentioned previously all the shortcomings of the prince, but objectively speaking, the prince's succession is a very good thing for the queen.
After all, as long as the prince succeeds to the throne, the queen will naturally become the queen mother.
"My Lady Goddess, 'Parents love their children for their far-reaching plans.' I know the prince best. If he really inherits the throne, it will definitely lead to countless disasters."
"As a mother, selfishly speaking, I don't want my children to be in high positions, I just want my children to have a safe and smooth life."
After the Queen finished explaining her reasons, even Ah Cha was a little moved.
From the queen, she saw a mother's caring heart for her children, and she even made long-term plans for her children's future.
Thinking of all the ridiculous behaviors of the prince in the system log of the previous life, didn't it start after the death of the dog emperor and the queen?
It seems that maybe I really should comply with the Queen's request.
But Ah Cha was still thinking and didn't say much.
But the queen who was kneeling on the ground was panicked. She thought Ah Cha would not agree to her request, so she held Ah Cha's trousers tightly.
"My Lady Goddess, as long as you agree to my request, I am willing to escort Chen Zhaoyi in the palace and help her win the Holy Grace."
Ah Cha was once again shocked by her words.
Unexpectedly, the queen even saw through the relationship between herself and Jinlan.
But she still didn't say a word, just fixed her gaze condescendingly in front of the queen.
"My Lady Goddess, I know what you and the eldest princess are planning, that's why I come to beg you."
"As long as you promise me not to let the prince succeed to the throne and to ensure that the prince's life is safe and smooth, then you can use all my power in the palace as you like!"
Ah Cha hesitated.
It's not because the conditions offered by the queen are so tempting.
It's just that the Queen's motherly heart and her willingness to make all-out sacrifices for the future of the Prince moved her too much.
"Since you know my plan, why bother?"
Yes, the queen has been sitting in the queen's position for many years. Not only is her mother's family extremely powerful, but she herself has gained a lot of power in the palace.
But now, in order to keep the prince, the queen did not hesitate to exchange all her power with herself.
"My Lady Goddess, the prince is my child, and this is what I should do for him."
Tears had already covered the queen's cheeks. Ah Cha couldn't bear to meet her eyes, so she could only turn around and speak as calmly as possible.
"The Queen Mother has issued a decree to confine the Crown Prince for two months. You should send someone to keep an eye on the Crown Prince and make sure he is not allowed to step out of the Crown Prince's residence."
"You should find a way to get rid of the prince's staff. As for the ministers in the court who support the prince..."
Before Ah Cha finished speaking, the Queen quickly took over the words as if she had an epiphany.
"Don't worry, Goddess, I will individually convince all the princelings' ministers to follow the eldest princess."
The queen is determined to disperse the princelings.
"It's good that the queen knows. The prince's confinement will begin tomorrow. The queen should take care of these things as soon as possible."
Ah Cha finally relented.
She is also a woman, so she can naturally understand the Queen's loving motherly heart, which is willing to sacrifice everything to protect her children.
Moreover, the queen will not only use all the power she has in the palace for her own use, but also want to break up the princelings, which is an excellent thing for their plan.
Ah Cha really couldn't think of a reason to refuse, and she didn't have the attitude to refuse.
"Ms. Goddess, don't worry, I will take care of these as soon as possible."
"Chen Zhaoyi will be safe and sound in the palace, and I will protect her."
Ah Cha nodded silently, accepting her words.
"Queen, I'm tired, so I'm going to take a nap first."
After finishing speaking, she raised her feet and was about to leave, but the queen's voice came from behind her.
"My Lady Goddess, do you still want to attack His Majesty?"
The Queen's words made Ah Cha wake up instantly, and he stared straight at her with sharp eyes.
But the queen seemed not to notice and was still talking to herself.
"Actually, I have been husband and wife with His Majesty for so many years, and I understand him quite well. But regarding Chen Zhaoyi, I can't understand him."
"The world says that His Majesty is dim-witted and incompetent. He is not only addicted to wine and sex, but also blindly pursues immortality. In my opinion, His Majesty is indeed what the rumors say."
"There's just one thing I don't agree with. His Majesty is not good at all, but he is pure in his heart. His Majesty will clearly put his intentions on the table when doing things. Even if the intention is shameful, he still It’ll be presented like that.”
"So I can also see that Your Majesty truly trusts the Goddess, but the Goddess has other considerations, which is why she has those plans."
"The relationship between your Majesty and I has long since faded away over the years. Now I don't ask for anything else. I just ask the goddess to give me some mercy so that your Majesty can abdicate the throne in peace and enjoy his old age."
After the queen finished speaking, she looked at Acha with tears in her eyes.
But Ah Cha was not moved this time. She half-squinted her eyes and focused her gaze directly on the Queen's face.
"Queen, you are bargaining with me!"
She had just promised that the queen would protect the prince, but she never expected that the queen would be so open-minded, and now she would even want to protect the emperor.
She could understand the reason why the empress wanted to protect the prince, but it was simply ridiculous for the empress to protect the dog emperor.
Not to mention that the Dog Emperor has not been interested in political affairs in recent years and has ignored the people. He is no longer a qualified king. Even the Queen herself knows that her relationship with the Dog Emperor has long since died out.
But the queen actually wanted to ask for a chance to survive for the dog emperor.
She really doesn't understand.
The queen seems to be a capable and strategic woman, how could she be so confused?
Perhaps her doubts were too obvious, so the queen smiled self-deprecatingly and answered the reason.
"My Lady Goddess, Your Majesty is the prince's father. I don't want to see the prince lose his father."
amount……
Ah Chagan was immediately silenced by these words.
Good guy, it turned out that I was waiting for you here.
For the first time, she felt that the Queen was such a love-minded person.
The emperor didn't love her at all, but she still had wishful thinking and even used the prince's father as an excuse.
Please, the prince is old enough to get married, and he does not lack the paternal love of a dog emperor.
Besides, the Dog Emperor is not a good father at all.
Just talking about what happened to Tuoba Jun, she was not qualified to spare the life of the Dog Emperor for Tuoba Jun and his mother.
Thinking of this, Ah Cha slowly shook his head.
"Queen, I am not that capable. Whether the emperor can abdicate safely depends on himself."
If the Dog Emperor knows current affairs and Tuoba Jun doesn't remember the past, then she can naturally spare the Dog Emperor's life.
But I'm afraid that the dog emperor's nature of seeking death will show up again, and he will seek death everywhere and bring about his own destruction.
The queen lowered her eyes and responded with a somewhat lonely tone.
"I understand, thank you, Lady Goddess, for the tip."
Ah Cha also felt that something in his heart seemed heavy, and he quickly rubbed his chest.
"Well, I'll leave first then."
At this time, Ah Cha still didn't know how much convenience and support the Queen would give them later.
But now she believes that according to the queen's execution ability, the princelings' ministers should be notified soon.
Of course, Zhang Ming, the crown prince's staff member, would naturally know the queen's decision soon.
But now she needs to go find Jinlan and test her reaction to seeing Zhang Ming just now.
Yes, that's right, at the last moment when the prince gave Qiu Xue a gift, Zhang Ming followed the prince and was looked at by Jin Lan.
At that time Ah Cha could already tell that something was wrong with Jin Lan's expression.
If she hadn't been invited to the Royal Garden by the Queen, she might have chatted with Jinlan long ago.
The Queen Mother has already gone to rest, and the eldest princess is still in the palace. Jin Lan will definitely not go with her to avoid suspicion, so now is the best time to go find Jin Lan.
Ah Cha felt a little uneasy. She only knew from Zhang Ming's mouth that he knew Jin Lan, but the specific relationship between them was unclear.
Moreover, one is the young patriarch of the Southern Barbarians, and the other is a saint of the Southern Barbarians. There is a big doubt as to whether the identities of the two are related.
With this thought in mind, Ah Cha walked all the way back to the place where the family recognition ceremony was held.
As soon as she got there, she spotted Jin Lan among the crowd.
The moment their eyes met, Jin Lan also looked at her. "My Lady Goddess, why are you back?"
Jin Lan saw Ah Cha and the Queen walking out one after the other, so she stayed where she was and acted as the mascot talking to her fateful wife.
However, she did guess a little bit about the Queen's intentions.
The Queen actually had no ill intentions towards her. She had been very helpful to her when she was thanking guests behind closed doors in the dormitory.
From the bottom of her heart, she was somewhat grateful to the Queen.
So she subconsciously thought that Acha was coming to talk to her about the queen.
But Ah Cha shook his head slightly at her first, and then raised his hand.
"Chen Zhaoyi, I remembered that I promised the emperor yesterday to inquire about your situation, so I turned back to find you."
Ah Cha did not deliberately lower his voice, but deliberately let everyone present hear clearly.
She was using the Dog Emperor as a cover, and it was impossible for these people to actually go to the Emperor to ask whether it was true.
Even if the emperor knew that he had a conversation with Jin Lan, he just thought that he had not finished casting the magic spell yesterday and needed to make up for it.
So instead of secretly calling Jin Lan out, it would be better for her to be fair and let everyone see clearly.
Jinlan instantly understood that there was something behind her words, nodded slightly to the fateful women, and then followed Ah Cha out.
Of course, before walking out, her eyes met the eldest princess.
Now that her past with the eldest princess has been sorted out, she naturally doesn't want anything to cause misunderstandings between her and the eldest princess.
Ah Cha naturally had a panoramic view of all this and was very happy to see such a scene.
However, her attention was still on Zhang Ming, who was following the prince not far away.
In fact, from the moment Jin Lan walked towards her, she had clearly noticed that Zhang Ming's expression was wrong. He looked very nervous, as if he was worried about what he would do to Jin Lan.
She took Jinlan away from the sight of these fateful ladies, went to a slightly remote place, and then asked her doubts straight to the point.
"Jinlan, are you familiar with the prince's staff before?"
Her words successfully stunned Jin Lan, who looked at her in disbelief.
"Why would the goddess ask this?"
Logically speaking, the acquaintance between him and Zhang Ming should be very secret, so how could the goddess know about it?
But this is definitely not because Jinlan thinks Ah Cha shouldn't know about this, it's just that in her opinion, Ah Cha's question was too unexpected.
Jinlan was the eldest princess's closest friend, and Acha had no intention of stopping her and directly recounted the events one by one.
"Before Zhang Ming sought cooperation with us, he had already stated that he was the young patriarch of the Southern Barbarians. In addition, you are the saint of the Southern Barbarians, so I am sure that you will know each other."
"But just last night, when Zhang Ming came to see me, he specifically begged me to rescue you from the palace."
"I asked him why, what do you think he answered?"
Ah Cha deliberately kept it a secret just to see Jinlan's reaction.
Sure enough, Jin Lan's face turned gloomy when he heard the reason, and there was still a hint of tears in his eyes.
Ah Cha can't handle this.
No, she just wanted to test whether Jin Lan had a deep connection with Zhang Ming. Why did Jin Lan suddenly react like this?
But she knew that Jin Lan should be given some time at this time, so she didn't say anything, just waited quietly for Jin Lan's reply.
I don’t know how long it took before Jin Lan spoke.
But there was an obvious cry in her words.
"Goddess, he should be said to be entrusted by... an old friend, so he must rescue me from this palace."
Acha raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect Jinlan to guess it right.
"Then who is the old friend you are referring to?"
Jin Lan sniffed and looked far away with a pair of deep eyes.
"It's my deceased young man."
what? !
It turned out to be the instructions given to Zhang Ming by the young man Jin Lan who had died long ago.
It seems that the relationship between Jinlan and Zhang Ming is probably more than just being members of the Southern Barbarian tribe.
Jin Lan seemed to have guessed her thoughts and continued.
"My young man was once a young general, but he was also the former young chief of the Southern Barbarians, and the biological brother of the current young chief."
"When the current young patriarch was still young, my young men and I would often take him to ride horses and sing songs together, so he always called me sister."
"Presumably he came to you because of his brother's entrustment and our past friendship, and he wanted to rescue me from the palace."
Good guy, as soon as this answer came out, Atcha Lei was struck with thunder.
No, this world is really that small.
She never expected that the relationship between Zhang Ming and Jin Lan would be so deep yet simple and clear.
The young man who co-wrote Jin Lan left instructions to Zhang Ming before leaving, asking Zhang Ming to protect Jin Lan, and then Zhang Ming definitely wanted to rescue Jin Lan from the palace.
Having said this, Ah Cha felt that there was no need to hide anything from her.
"He came to beg me, but I asked him to exchange sincerity."
"Then what do you think?"
Jin Lan knew what she and the eldest princess were planning, and she also understood what she meant by asking Zhang Ming to trade sincerity.
"Goddess, I know that you and the eldest princess have worked hard. There is no place for a princeling to stay for a long time. It would be a good thing if he could join your side."
"He is well, and I will be able to have the nerve to mention this when I go to see his brother in the future."
Jin Lan finally made his attitude clear.
"I gave him three days, so what do you think he will choose?"
Acha's words once again made Jinlan fall into silence.
She and Zhang Ming hadn't seen each other for many years. If they hadn't met by chance today, she wouldn't have known that Zhang Ming had also come to the capital and even became the prince's staff.
However, she was still a little worried about this young brother of hers, the young patriarch whom she had watched since childhood.
"He has always been a child with ideas, and he always keeps his promises. He also follows his word to his brother. If I guess correctly, he should be sincere."
Ah Cha believed that Jinlan understood Zhang Ming well enough, and also believed that Zhang Ming might show corresponding sincerity.
But what she wants to ensure is that Zhang Ming can completely fall into her own camp.
"I want you to find an opportunity to chat with him. Are you willing?"
Jinlan's eyes widened and she pointed at herself.
"Me? Go talk to him?"
"But I haven't seen him for a long time, and he is now an aide to the prince. If I were like this..."
"No, he won't be anymore soon. Now you are the only one who is most suitable to talk to him."
Acha could clearly see the rejection in Jinlan's eyes, but she still finished the second half of her sentence.
"It's best to do it as his brother's widow."
Because this can arouse Zhang Ming's memory for his brother to the greatest extent, attack the softest place in his heart, and make him most likely to agree to fall to his camp.
Indeed, Ah Cha knew very well that by doing so, he was rubbing salt into the wounds of Jin Lan and Zhang Ming, which would be a bit unethical.
But who can truly speak from the moral high ground?
If they cannot pull Zhang Ming into their own camp, they will not be able to make better use of the Southern Barbarian forces behind Zhang Ming, and their plan will not be accelerated.
By that time, it may affect the situation of all people in the world.
Ah Cha couldn't take any risks.
So even if she is now accused of being immoral and unscrupulous, she is willing to do so.
"Okay..." Tears sparkled in Jinlan's eyes, but she pursed her lips and agreed, "I'll give it a try."
She is willing to sprinkle a handful of salt on her own wounds with her own hands, pave everything about herself into a stepping stone, and become the bridge that helps Acha and the others win over the Southern Barbarians.
With her promise, Ah Cha was relieved and did not forget to tell her the Queen's promise.
"By the way, the Queen has agreed. She will protect you and help you win the favor of the Dog Emperor."
"The Dog Emperor is still fasting and purifying himself these days. You can take advantage of his free time to go to him every day to make your presence felt and show your kindness a little bit."
Jin Lan nodded in agreement, but Ah Cha was still a little worried and continued to give instructions.
"I will leave the capital in a few days. At that time, the dog emperor's fasting and purification period will be over. He is very lustful towards you. Now it is just a matter of time. Remember to protect yourself."
Jin Lan nodded again.
"If you have anything to do in the palace, just go to the eldest princess and the queen. They..."
Unfortunately, before Ah Cha could finish her words this time, Zuo Qiuge hurried over with a letter.
"Goddess, this is a letter sent from the fief by the master."
Tuoba Jun’s letter?
Ah Cha was already surprised when he heard this.
Tuoba Jun has been away from the fiefdom for so long, but there has been no letter explaining the specific situation, which makes both her and the eldest princess worried.
Now that I have received a letter, it must be explaining the situation there.
Jin Lan saw her anxiety and took the initiative: "Goddess, I'm going to the married woman first."
"Ah."
After she left, Acha finally opened Tuoba Jun's letter.
There was nothing special about the content of the letter.
It was nothing more than that he first went to the fiefdom to deal with the arrogant governor, settled the people, and gained the hearts of the people, and then started to build the altar.
He had already sent most of his manpower to build lifeboats in the name of building an altar. He also said that everything was going well and told him not to worry about it.
These words were quite normal, but Ah Cha had a lingering bad feeling in his heart.
Coupled with the fact that she saw Zuoqiuge hesitate to speak, this suspicion deepened.
"Did Tuoba Jun encounter anything else in the fief? How is his health?"
Zuoqiuge had been debating whether to tell the truth about the situation, but now that Ah Cha had taken the initiative to ask, he could no longer hide it, so he could only tell the truth.
"Goddess, in fact, Zhu Shun secretly sent a message to his subordinates."
"Oh? What's the news?"
"My master's health is getting worse in the fiefdom. He vomits blood from time to time. In recent days, vomiting blood has become more frequent. I'm afraid..."
Zuo Qiuge looked at Ah Cha's expression and did not dare to say the next words.
But Ah Cha had already understood from his words.
She really didn't expect that Tuoba Jun's body would be in such a bad condition in just a few days.
It was clear that Tuoba Jun didn't seem to be in serious trouble when he left the capital.
It's also her fault that she has been sending people to investigate the matter of Blue Moon's bloodline, but she has forgotten about it because there is no follow-up.
Now that Tuoba Jun's condition is not good, he has to find a way to go to the fiefdom to meet Tuoba Jun earlier, otherwise he is afraid that Tuoba Jun's health will get worse.
Acha, who realized this, did not dare to delay any longer and gave instructions directly to Zuoqiuge.
"You quietly invite the eldest princess here, and tell her that I have something to discuss with her, and ask her to come quickly."
She must discuss with the eldest princess as soon as possible the most appropriate way to speed up the plan that has been laid out in the capital in recent days.
At the same time, they also had to find a way to investigate the relevant information about Blue Moon's bloodline as soon as possible, so that she could prepare some medicine for Tuoba Jun and go to save him.
After the eldest princess got the news about Zuoqiuge, she came quickly.
"Comrade Acha, what happened? Why are you so anxious to see me?"
The eldest princess knew that Acha had only met Jinlan, so she was very surprised that she was in such a hurry to see her.
As soon as Ah Cha saw her figure, the tight string in his mind immediately relaxed.
"Comrade Princess, Tuoba Jun...he is not well..."
For some reason, Ah Cha felt that whenever she mentioned Tuoba Jun, she would feel a little distressed.
Tuoba Jun had a very hard life in the past, but now he is finally feeling better, but his health is failing again.
As a friend, she really couldn't bear to see such a scene.
The eldest princess's complexion also changed drastically, and she asked nervously.
"Have you received the news? Is Tuoba Jun's body unable to hold on now?"
Ah Cha nodded heavily.
"Yes, he vomited blood very frequently today, but he didn't mention anything in his letter. It was Zhu Shun who told Zuoqiuge that I found out about the situation."
She wiped away the tears from her eyes and handed the letter to the eldest princess.
"This is the letter sent by Tuoba Juncai, please take a look."
The eldest princess took the letter with a heavy heart. The more she looked at it, the worse her face became.
"He's a kid who always likes to report good news but not bad news. I didn't expect that he would even hide his own condition from us now."
"However, the personnel we sent out haven't found out anything about Blue Moon's bloodline, and we can't come up with a solution for the time being. What should we do?"
The eldest princess is worried about exactly what Acha wants to say.
"Comrade Princess, I want to speed up our plan and go to the fiefdom as soon as possible to check on Tuoba Jun's condition."
"Well, don't worry, I'm here in the capital and nothing will happen to you."
"But the Dog Emperor has to fast for nine days to purify himself. Especially on his last day, he has to bow three times and bow nine times to the Zhaixing Tower. I should be there on that day."
This is Acha's real worry and unsolvable problem.
The eldest princess thought for a moment and gave some advice.
"Why don't you trick the Dog Emperor to advance the date a few days?"
She still wants to chat with the queen, who has time to deal with these fateful ladies?
In this way, the queen and Acha left one after the other.
Although they were leaving, they did not conceal their whereabouts at all and went straight to the Imperial Garden.
"You all should stand down and leave everything under guard for me."
The queen arrived at the Royal Garden first, and as soon as she saw Ah Cha coming, she quickly gave orders to the palace attendants, her voice was quite low, as if she was deliberately letting Ah Cha hear her.
Acha smiled lightly and didn't say much.
She wanted to see what kind of cards the queen was trying to play by doing so many things.
"My Lady Goddess, you can come with me. I have already ordered people to prepare food."
"Ah."
What Ah Cha needs to maintain now is his aloof persona. He must make the Queen feel unfathomable, so that he can take more initiative after the detailed discussion.
But the queen was also proactive. As soon as Acha sat down, her words came out.
"I have invited the goddess here today because I also want to talk to you about the prince."
Ah Cha became interested and stared at her directly.
"Oh? The queen wants to talk to me about the prince's affairs?"
"About the crown prince's succession."
Ah Cha didn't expect that the queen would hit the ball so hard right from the start.
"Queen, I am just a goddess. No matter who takes the throne, it has nothing to do with me."
The queen shook her head and immediately denied her words.
"No, it has something to do with the goddess."
"I am the prince's biological mother. Naturally, I know the prince's thoughts very well. I have also heard that the prince and his staff have repeatedly sought out the goddess."
"I also know that the prince now has great trust in the goddess, so I also have a request."
The queen became sad as she spoke, and her whole body was enveloped in a faint sadness.
But this is a big puzzle for Ah Cha.
No, she wasn't hallucinating, was she? The majestic queen actually made a request to herself?
She looked at the queen up and down several times, trying to see any clues on her face.
But before she could get any clues, the queen's question came again.
"My Lady Goddess, are you unwilling to agree to my request?"
This time the queen's words were filled with tears.
Ah Cha felt very baffled, but rarely asked the Queen, and just nodded silently.
"Well, then you can tell me."
After receiving her approval, the Queen was so excited that she ignored her image and knelt down directly towards her.
Yes, I really just knelt down.
With the Queen kneeling like this, Ah Cha was really at a loss.
"Queen, if you have any requests, just speak up. There is no need to pay such a big courtesy to me."
As he said this, Ah Cha tried hard to help the queen up.
She has never been used to others kneeling down to her.
She felt like her life span would be shortened when others kneeled down on her. No matter how tortured they were, this was not the way to go.
When she changes this feudal system, the first thing she will definitely do is abolish this etiquette.
She thought so, but the queen who was kneeling on the ground still refused to get up.
"No, Lady Goddess, I cannot speak out my request."
Ok?
Can't you get up and say it?
Ah Cha couldn't pull her back, and the queen still insisted on kneeling like this. She was completely helpless.
"Then please hurry up, I have to take a nap."
She really didn't want to face such a queen kneeling on the ground.
"My Lady Goddess, I beg you, never let the Crown Prince succeed to the throne."
what? !
Not only did the queen use her own title, she actually did not want the prince to succeed her.
This shocked Ah Cha at all. She pursed her lips tightly and looked at the Queen with a probing look.
The queen was not frightened by her eyes at all, and continued speaking on her own.
"The prince is the flesh and blood that fell from my body. No one knows his temper better than me."
"The prince is not suitable for the throne at all. In terms of intelligence, talent, literary skills, and military skills required by the emperor, he is the one with the lowest qualifications among all the princes. In terms of benevolence, the prince does not have the slightest bit of kindness."
"Even if you say the prince is stupid, you are looking down upon him. If it weren't for the group of staff around him, the prince would not be where he is today."
"His Majesty was willing to make him the prince back then, but he just fell in love with the prince's stupidity."
"But if the prince really succeeds to the throne, it will be extremely irresponsible not only for himself but also for the people of the world."
The Queen's words surprised Acha.
She really didn't expect that the queen would see the prince's things so thoroughly.
"Then why don't you want the prince to succeed you?"
The queen mentioned previously all the shortcomings of the prince, but objectively speaking, the prince's succession is a very good thing for the queen.
After all, as long as the prince succeeds to the throne, the queen will naturally become the queen mother.
"My Lady Goddess, 'Parents love their children for their far-reaching plans.' I know the prince best. If he really inherits the throne, it will definitely lead to countless disasters."
"As a mother, selfishly speaking, I don't want my children to be in high positions, I just want my children to have a safe and smooth life."
After the Queen finished explaining her reasons, even Ah Cha was a little moved.
From the queen, she saw a mother's caring heart for her children, and she even made long-term plans for her children's future.
Thinking of all the ridiculous behaviors of the prince in the system log of the previous life, didn't it start after the death of the dog emperor and the queen?
It seems that maybe I really should comply with the Queen's request.
But Ah Cha was still thinking and didn't say much.
But the queen who was kneeling on the ground was panicked. She thought Ah Cha would not agree to her request, so she held Ah Cha's trousers tightly.
"My Lady Goddess, as long as you agree to my request, I am willing to escort Chen Zhaoyi in the palace and help her win the Holy Grace."
Ah Cha was once again shocked by her words.
Unexpectedly, the queen even saw through the relationship between herself and Jinlan.
But she still didn't say a word, just fixed her gaze condescendingly in front of the queen.
"My Lady Goddess, I know what you and the eldest princess are planning, that's why I come to beg you."
"As long as you promise me not to let the prince succeed to the throne and to ensure that the prince's life is safe and smooth, then you can use all my power in the palace as you like!"
Ah Cha hesitated.
It's not because the conditions offered by the queen are so tempting.
It's just that the Queen's motherly heart and her willingness to make all-out sacrifices for the future of the Prince moved her too much.
"Since you know my plan, why bother?"
Yes, the queen has been sitting in the queen's position for many years. Not only is her mother's family extremely powerful, but she herself has gained a lot of power in the palace.
But now, in order to keep the prince, the queen did not hesitate to exchange all her power with herself.
"My Lady Goddess, the prince is my child, and this is what I should do for him."
Tears had already covered the queen's cheeks. Ah Cha couldn't bear to meet her eyes, so she could only turn around and speak as calmly as possible.
"The Queen Mother has issued a decree to confine the Crown Prince for two months. You should send someone to keep an eye on the Crown Prince and make sure he is not allowed to step out of the Crown Prince's residence."
"You should find a way to get rid of the prince's staff. As for the ministers in the court who support the prince..."
Before Ah Cha finished speaking, the Queen quickly took over the words as if she had an epiphany.
"Don't worry, Goddess, I will individually convince all the princelings' ministers to follow the eldest princess."
The queen is determined to disperse the princelings.
"It's good that the queen knows. The prince's confinement will begin tomorrow. The queen should take care of these things as soon as possible."
Ah Cha finally relented.
She is also a woman, so she can naturally understand the Queen's loving motherly heart, which is willing to sacrifice everything to protect her children.
Moreover, the queen will not only use all the power she has in the palace for her own use, but also want to break up the princelings, which is an excellent thing for their plan.
Ah Cha really couldn't think of a reason to refuse, and she didn't have the attitude to refuse.
"Ms. Goddess, don't worry, I will take care of these as soon as possible."
"Chen Zhaoyi will be safe and sound in the palace, and I will protect her."
Ah Cha nodded silently, accepting her words.
"Queen, I'm tired, so I'm going to take a nap first."
After finishing speaking, she raised her feet and was about to leave, but the queen's voice came from behind her.
"My Lady Goddess, do you still want to attack His Majesty?"
The Queen's words made Ah Cha wake up instantly, and he stared straight at her with sharp eyes.
But the queen seemed not to notice and was still talking to herself.
"Actually, I have been husband and wife with His Majesty for so many years, and I understand him quite well. But regarding Chen Zhaoyi, I can't understand him."
"The world says that His Majesty is dim-witted and incompetent. He is not only addicted to wine and sex, but also blindly pursues immortality. In my opinion, His Majesty is indeed what the rumors say."
"There's just one thing I don't agree with. His Majesty is not good at all, but he is pure in his heart. His Majesty will clearly put his intentions on the table when doing things. Even if the intention is shameful, he still It’ll be presented like that.”
"So I can also see that Your Majesty truly trusts the Goddess, but the Goddess has other considerations, which is why she has those plans."
"The relationship between your Majesty and I has long since faded away over the years. Now I don't ask for anything else. I just ask the goddess to give me some mercy so that your Majesty can abdicate the throne in peace and enjoy his old age."
After the queen finished speaking, she looked at Acha with tears in her eyes.
But Ah Cha was not moved this time. She half-squinted her eyes and focused her gaze directly on the Queen's face.
"Queen, you are bargaining with me!"
She had just promised that the queen would protect the prince, but she never expected that the queen would be so open-minded, and now she would even want to protect the emperor.
She could understand the reason why the empress wanted to protect the prince, but it was simply ridiculous for the empress to protect the dog emperor.
Not to mention that the Dog Emperor has not been interested in political affairs in recent years and has ignored the people. He is no longer a qualified king. Even the Queen herself knows that her relationship with the Dog Emperor has long since died out.
But the queen actually wanted to ask for a chance to survive for the dog emperor.
She really doesn't understand.
The queen seems to be a capable and strategic woman, how could she be so confused?
Perhaps her doubts were too obvious, so the queen smiled self-deprecatingly and answered the reason.
"My Lady Goddess, Your Majesty is the prince's father. I don't want to see the prince lose his father."
amount……
Ah Chagan was immediately silenced by these words.
Good guy, it turned out that I was waiting for you here.
For the first time, she felt that the Queen was such a love-minded person.
The emperor didn't love her at all, but she still had wishful thinking and even used the prince's father as an excuse.
Please, the prince is old enough to get married, and he does not lack the paternal love of a dog emperor.
Besides, the Dog Emperor is not a good father at all.
Just talking about what happened to Tuoba Jun, she was not qualified to spare the life of the Dog Emperor for Tuoba Jun and his mother.
Thinking of this, Ah Cha slowly shook his head.
"Queen, I am not that capable. Whether the emperor can abdicate safely depends on himself."
If the Dog Emperor knows current affairs and Tuoba Jun doesn't remember the past, then she can naturally spare the Dog Emperor's life.
But I'm afraid that the dog emperor's nature of seeking death will show up again, and he will seek death everywhere and bring about his own destruction.
The queen lowered her eyes and responded with a somewhat lonely tone.
"I understand, thank you, Lady Goddess, for the tip."
Ah Cha also felt that something in his heart seemed heavy, and he quickly rubbed his chest.
"Well, I'll leave first then."
At this time, Ah Cha still didn't know how much convenience and support the Queen would give them later.
But now she believes that according to the queen's execution ability, the princelings' ministers should be notified soon.
Of course, Zhang Ming, the crown prince's staff member, would naturally know the queen's decision soon.
But now she needs to go find Jinlan and test her reaction to seeing Zhang Ming just now.
Yes, that's right, at the last moment when the prince gave Qiu Xue a gift, Zhang Ming followed the prince and was looked at by Jin Lan.
At that time Ah Cha could already tell that something was wrong with Jin Lan's expression.
If she hadn't been invited to the Royal Garden by the Queen, she might have chatted with Jinlan long ago.
The Queen Mother has already gone to rest, and the eldest princess is still in the palace. Jin Lan will definitely not go with her to avoid suspicion, so now is the best time to go find Jin Lan.
Ah Cha felt a little uneasy. She only knew from Zhang Ming's mouth that he knew Jin Lan, but the specific relationship between them was unclear.
Moreover, one is the young patriarch of the Southern Barbarians, and the other is a saint of the Southern Barbarians. There is a big doubt as to whether the identities of the two are related.
With this thought in mind, Ah Cha walked all the way back to the place where the family recognition ceremony was held.
As soon as she got there, she spotted Jin Lan among the crowd.
The moment their eyes met, Jin Lan also looked at her. "My Lady Goddess, why are you back?"
Jin Lan saw Ah Cha and the Queen walking out one after the other, so she stayed where she was and acted as the mascot talking to her fateful wife.
However, she did guess a little bit about the Queen's intentions.
The Queen actually had no ill intentions towards her. She had been very helpful to her when she was thanking guests behind closed doors in the dormitory.
From the bottom of her heart, she was somewhat grateful to the Queen.
So she subconsciously thought that Acha was coming to talk to her about the queen.
But Ah Cha shook his head slightly at her first, and then raised his hand.
"Chen Zhaoyi, I remembered that I promised the emperor yesterday to inquire about your situation, so I turned back to find you."
Ah Cha did not deliberately lower his voice, but deliberately let everyone present hear clearly.
She was using the Dog Emperor as a cover, and it was impossible for these people to actually go to the Emperor to ask whether it was true.
Even if the emperor knew that he had a conversation with Jin Lan, he just thought that he had not finished casting the magic spell yesterday and needed to make up for it.
So instead of secretly calling Jin Lan out, it would be better for her to be fair and let everyone see clearly.
Jinlan instantly understood that there was something behind her words, nodded slightly to the fateful women, and then followed Ah Cha out.
Of course, before walking out, her eyes met the eldest princess.
Now that her past with the eldest princess has been sorted out, she naturally doesn't want anything to cause misunderstandings between her and the eldest princess.
Ah Cha naturally had a panoramic view of all this and was very happy to see such a scene.
However, her attention was still on Zhang Ming, who was following the prince not far away.
In fact, from the moment Jin Lan walked towards her, she had clearly noticed that Zhang Ming's expression was wrong. He looked very nervous, as if he was worried about what he would do to Jin Lan.
She took Jinlan away from the sight of these fateful ladies, went to a slightly remote place, and then asked her doubts straight to the point.
"Jinlan, are you familiar with the prince's staff before?"
Her words successfully stunned Jin Lan, who looked at her in disbelief.
"Why would the goddess ask this?"
Logically speaking, the acquaintance between him and Zhang Ming should be very secret, so how could the goddess know about it?
But this is definitely not because Jinlan thinks Ah Cha shouldn't know about this, it's just that in her opinion, Ah Cha's question was too unexpected.
Jinlan was the eldest princess's closest friend, and Acha had no intention of stopping her and directly recounted the events one by one.
"Before Zhang Ming sought cooperation with us, he had already stated that he was the young patriarch of the Southern Barbarians. In addition, you are the saint of the Southern Barbarians, so I am sure that you will know each other."
"But just last night, when Zhang Ming came to see me, he specifically begged me to rescue you from the palace."
"I asked him why, what do you think he answered?"
Ah Cha deliberately kept it a secret just to see Jinlan's reaction.
Sure enough, Jin Lan's face turned gloomy when he heard the reason, and there was still a hint of tears in his eyes.
Ah Cha can't handle this.
No, she just wanted to test whether Jin Lan had a deep connection with Zhang Ming. Why did Jin Lan suddenly react like this?
But she knew that Jin Lan should be given some time at this time, so she didn't say anything, just waited quietly for Jin Lan's reply.
I don’t know how long it took before Jin Lan spoke.
But there was an obvious cry in her words.
"Goddess, he should be said to be entrusted by... an old friend, so he must rescue me from this palace."
Acha raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect Jinlan to guess it right.
"Then who is the old friend you are referring to?"
Jin Lan sniffed and looked far away with a pair of deep eyes.
"It's my deceased young man."
what? !
It turned out to be the instructions given to Zhang Ming by the young man Jin Lan who had died long ago.
It seems that the relationship between Jinlan and Zhang Ming is probably more than just being members of the Southern Barbarian tribe.
Jin Lan seemed to have guessed her thoughts and continued.
"My young man was once a young general, but he was also the former young chief of the Southern Barbarians, and the biological brother of the current young chief."
"When the current young patriarch was still young, my young men and I would often take him to ride horses and sing songs together, so he always called me sister."
"Presumably he came to you because of his brother's entrustment and our past friendship, and he wanted to rescue me from the palace."
Good guy, as soon as this answer came out, Atcha Lei was struck with thunder.
No, this world is really that small.
She never expected that the relationship between Zhang Ming and Jin Lan would be so deep yet simple and clear.
The young man who co-wrote Jin Lan left instructions to Zhang Ming before leaving, asking Zhang Ming to protect Jin Lan, and then Zhang Ming definitely wanted to rescue Jin Lan from the palace.
Having said this, Ah Cha felt that there was no need to hide anything from her.
"He came to beg me, but I asked him to exchange sincerity."
"Then what do you think?"
Jin Lan knew what she and the eldest princess were planning, and she also understood what she meant by asking Zhang Ming to trade sincerity.
"Goddess, I know that you and the eldest princess have worked hard. There is no place for a princeling to stay for a long time. It would be a good thing if he could join your side."
"He is well, and I will be able to have the nerve to mention this when I go to see his brother in the future."
Jin Lan finally made his attitude clear.
"I gave him three days, so what do you think he will choose?"
Acha's words once again made Jinlan fall into silence.
She and Zhang Ming hadn't seen each other for many years. If they hadn't met by chance today, she wouldn't have known that Zhang Ming had also come to the capital and even became the prince's staff.
However, she was still a little worried about this young brother of hers, the young patriarch whom she had watched since childhood.
"He has always been a child with ideas, and he always keeps his promises. He also follows his word to his brother. If I guess correctly, he should be sincere."
Ah Cha believed that Jinlan understood Zhang Ming well enough, and also believed that Zhang Ming might show corresponding sincerity.
But what she wants to ensure is that Zhang Ming can completely fall into her own camp.
"I want you to find an opportunity to chat with him. Are you willing?"
Jinlan's eyes widened and she pointed at herself.
"Me? Go talk to him?"
"But I haven't seen him for a long time, and he is now an aide to the prince. If I were like this..."
"No, he won't be anymore soon. Now you are the only one who is most suitable to talk to him."
Acha could clearly see the rejection in Jinlan's eyes, but she still finished the second half of her sentence.
"It's best to do it as his brother's widow."
Because this can arouse Zhang Ming's memory for his brother to the greatest extent, attack the softest place in his heart, and make him most likely to agree to fall to his camp.
Indeed, Ah Cha knew very well that by doing so, he was rubbing salt into the wounds of Jin Lan and Zhang Ming, which would be a bit unethical.
But who can truly speak from the moral high ground?
If they cannot pull Zhang Ming into their own camp, they will not be able to make better use of the Southern Barbarian forces behind Zhang Ming, and their plan will not be accelerated.
By that time, it may affect the situation of all people in the world.
Ah Cha couldn't take any risks.
So even if she is now accused of being immoral and unscrupulous, she is willing to do so.
"Okay..." Tears sparkled in Jinlan's eyes, but she pursed her lips and agreed, "I'll give it a try."
She is willing to sprinkle a handful of salt on her own wounds with her own hands, pave everything about herself into a stepping stone, and become the bridge that helps Acha and the others win over the Southern Barbarians.
With her promise, Ah Cha was relieved and did not forget to tell her the Queen's promise.
"By the way, the Queen has agreed. She will protect you and help you win the favor of the Dog Emperor."
"The Dog Emperor is still fasting and purifying himself these days. You can take advantage of his free time to go to him every day to make your presence felt and show your kindness a little bit."
Jin Lan nodded in agreement, but Ah Cha was still a little worried and continued to give instructions.
"I will leave the capital in a few days. At that time, the dog emperor's fasting and purification period will be over. He is very lustful towards you. Now it is just a matter of time. Remember to protect yourself."
Jin Lan nodded again.
"If you have anything to do in the palace, just go to the eldest princess and the queen. They..."
Unfortunately, before Ah Cha could finish her words this time, Zuo Qiuge hurried over with a letter.
"Goddess, this is a letter sent from the fief by the master."
Tuoba Jun’s letter?
Ah Cha was already surprised when he heard this.
Tuoba Jun has been away from the fiefdom for so long, but there has been no letter explaining the specific situation, which makes both her and the eldest princess worried.
Now that I have received a letter, it must be explaining the situation there.
Jin Lan saw her anxiety and took the initiative: "Goddess, I'm going to the married woman first."
"Ah."
After she left, Acha finally opened Tuoba Jun's letter.
There was nothing special about the content of the letter.
It was nothing more than that he first went to the fiefdom to deal with the arrogant governor, settled the people, and gained the hearts of the people, and then started to build the altar.
He had already sent most of his manpower to build lifeboats in the name of building an altar. He also said that everything was going well and told him not to worry about it.
These words were quite normal, but Ah Cha had a lingering bad feeling in his heart.
Coupled with the fact that she saw Zuoqiuge hesitate to speak, this suspicion deepened.
"Did Tuoba Jun encounter anything else in the fief? How is his health?"
Zuoqiuge had been debating whether to tell the truth about the situation, but now that Ah Cha had taken the initiative to ask, he could no longer hide it, so he could only tell the truth.
"Goddess, in fact, Zhu Shun secretly sent a message to his subordinates."
"Oh? What's the news?"
"My master's health is getting worse in the fiefdom. He vomits blood from time to time. In recent days, vomiting blood has become more frequent. I'm afraid..."
Zuo Qiuge looked at Ah Cha's expression and did not dare to say the next words.
But Ah Cha had already understood from his words.
She really didn't expect that Tuoba Jun's body would be in such a bad condition in just a few days.
It was clear that Tuoba Jun didn't seem to be in serious trouble when he left the capital.
It's also her fault that she has been sending people to investigate the matter of Blue Moon's bloodline, but she has forgotten about it because there is no follow-up.
Now that Tuoba Jun's condition is not good, he has to find a way to go to the fiefdom to meet Tuoba Jun earlier, otherwise he is afraid that Tuoba Jun's health will get worse.
Acha, who realized this, did not dare to delay any longer and gave instructions directly to Zuoqiuge.
"You quietly invite the eldest princess here, and tell her that I have something to discuss with her, and ask her to come quickly."
She must discuss with the eldest princess as soon as possible the most appropriate way to speed up the plan that has been laid out in the capital in recent days.
At the same time, they also had to find a way to investigate the relevant information about Blue Moon's bloodline as soon as possible, so that she could prepare some medicine for Tuoba Jun and go to save him.
After the eldest princess got the news about Zuoqiuge, she came quickly.
"Comrade Acha, what happened? Why are you so anxious to see me?"
The eldest princess knew that Acha had only met Jinlan, so she was very surprised that she was in such a hurry to see her.
As soon as Ah Cha saw her figure, the tight string in his mind immediately relaxed.
"Comrade Princess, Tuoba Jun...he is not well..."
For some reason, Ah Cha felt that whenever she mentioned Tuoba Jun, she would feel a little distressed.
Tuoba Jun had a very hard life in the past, but now he is finally feeling better, but his health is failing again.
As a friend, she really couldn't bear to see such a scene.
The eldest princess's complexion also changed drastically, and she asked nervously.
"Have you received the news? Is Tuoba Jun's body unable to hold on now?"
Ah Cha nodded heavily.
"Yes, he vomited blood very frequently today, but he didn't mention anything in his letter. It was Zhu Shun who told Zuoqiuge that I found out about the situation."
She wiped away the tears from her eyes and handed the letter to the eldest princess.
"This is the letter sent by Tuoba Juncai, please take a look."
The eldest princess took the letter with a heavy heart. The more she looked at it, the worse her face became.
"He's a kid who always likes to report good news but not bad news. I didn't expect that he would even hide his own condition from us now."
"However, the personnel we sent out haven't found out anything about Blue Moon's bloodline, and we can't come up with a solution for the time being. What should we do?"
The eldest princess is worried about exactly what Acha wants to say.
"Comrade Princess, I want to speed up our plan and go to the fiefdom as soon as possible to check on Tuoba Jun's condition."
"Well, don't worry, I'm here in the capital and nothing will happen to you."
"But the Dog Emperor has to fast for nine days to purify himself. Especially on his last day, he has to bow three times and bow nine times to the Zhaixing Tower. I should be there on that day."
This is Acha's real worry and unsolvable problem.
The eldest princess thought for a moment and gave some advice.
"Why don't you trick the Dog Emperor to advance the date a few days?"
