Emperor's Red Makeup: The Duke is too black

Chapter 3 The first confrontation

Under the dim light, the atmosphere in Jingrui Hall was very strange. There was an indescribable smell of medicine in the air, with a hint of freshness of the careless grass, but when one smelled it carefully, one could smell the unpleasant smell of medicinal soup.

"Cough cough, cough cough. The Empress Dowager came to visit me in person. I am very moved, but I am not feeling well, and I am afraid I will not be able to get up." Tarba Rui lay on the dragon bed inside, leaning on the bright yellow cushion, and coughed a few times .

The Empress Dowager Shengde withdrew her gaze, and hurriedly walked in with a gesture of love. What caught her eyes was still the emaciated person, and the indistinguishable appearance, but a sense of defense suddenly rose in her heart, because she was in front of him. There was no emotion in his eyes, and those eyes were so deep that it made people frightened.

"The emperor's poisoning really worried the Ai family, but who has the guts to poison the emperor, what did the emperor find out?" The Empress Dowager Shengde moved slowly, and the maids beside her hurriedly moved the chairs. He moved to Taba Rui's bed and waited for her to sit down.

Tarba Rui raised his eyes slightly, with helpless bitterness on the corners of his mouth, and said sadly: "I don't know why I was poisoned, let alone who poisoned me. If I know, I must let her taste it all over me. Yan Shishi tortured. Well, let me think about it, is it better to crack the car or Ling Chi?"

Tarba Rui put on a look of hard thinking, which made Empress Dowager Shengde turn pale with anger.

"Your Majesty, since you can't find the person who poisoned you, that person must be very powerful. You should be more careful in the future. By the way, the Ai family heard that the emperor's poison was cured by Wang Taiyi. This is true. of?"

"Of course, this time thanks to Doctor Wang, I have already rewarded him, and the Queen Mother doesn't have to worry about it anymore." Tarba Rui was waiting for the Empress Dowager Shengde's next trick in her heart. She came here not only because she wanted to know this, right? ?

The Empress Dowager Shengde just felt that she couldn't get the point out of every sentence, because this Taba Rui was no longer the Taba Rui she knew, and she thought that apart from Lan Ting, Taba Rui would no longer be a threat to her. But at this moment, her heart began to panic inexplicably, because at this moment she didn't understand Taba Rui at all, let alone what kind of character he was.

Since he didn't want to bring it up, so what if she asked?
"I don't know where the Ai family offended the emperor, and the emperor wants to kill Li Fuhai who is beside Ai family?" The Empress Dowager Shengde suddenly went uncharacteristically, looking aggressively at Ta Ba Rui.

Taba Rui sneered in his heart, can't help it?

"It's not that I have any dissatisfaction with the Queen Mother, it's just that Li Fuhai has the guts to curse me and announce my death on the spot. The Queen Mother should know that if I wake up a little late and the news gets out, it will cause serious trouble. It has caused a lot of disaster and panic, this person hides evil intentions, and has been hiding beside the Queen Mother for a long time, I don't know what plans, I execute him, it can be regarded as eliminating the threat for the Queen Mother, does the Queen Mother still want to blame me for an eunuch?"

Taba Rui fixedly looked at the Empress Dowager Shengde, with a look of disappointment and helplessness on her pale face, with a sad expression.

The Empress Dowager Shengde didn't expect that Taba Rui would say this, and in one sentence, she described Li Fuhai as a secret agent hidden by her side. Facing his sincere expression this time, she didn't know how to refute.

"But the emperor shouldn't execute him like this, anyway, it's not too late to inform the mourning family." The Empress Dowager Shengde thought for a while, and said in a deep voice.

"The situation was complicated at the time, and I didn't have time to inform the Queen Mother, and there were so many guards outside the palace, people who didn't know thought that someone wanted to take advantage of my serious illness and force the palace." Tarba Rui said lightly, as if I don't know what happened, but I seem to know everything.

Empress Dowager Shengde was startled by what he said, and hurriedly said: "Who is spreading rumors indiscriminately? The poisoning of the emperor was only an hour ago. How could the imperial guards have made such a big move? The emperor must not listen to the nonsense of others. , besides, even if someone really wanted to force the palace, it would be in vain, with the Ai family, the emperor's throne will not fall for a day."

Tarba Rui curled his lips coldly, "With the Queen Mother's words, I feel relieved. I think no one will rebel while I am recuperating."

"Your Majesty, just take good care of your illness. There is an Ai family to look after you in this imperial palace and court." The Empress Dowager Shengde just patted her chest to assure her.

"Then, I would like to thank the Queen Mother." Tarba Rui nodded, and ordered Jiang Qin who was standing behind the screen, and said, "Jiang Qin, pass on my oral order. During the period of my convalescence, the Empress Dowager Shengde will listen to the government behind the curtain. All major national affairs are decided by the queen mother."

As soon as he said this, the entire Jingrui Hall immediately fell into a strange silence.

After a long time, I heard Empress Dowager Shengde's trembling voice: "Your Majesty, what did you say just now? How did you make Aijia listen to the government behind the curtain?"

When the emperor ascended the throne at a young age, even his biological mother, Sheng An, that bitch Lan Ting never listened to the government behind the curtain. Now what is the purpose of Ta Ba Rui doing this?
Or, she felt wrong, in fact, Taba Rui was the same as before, timid and cowardly, that's why she took the initiative to hand over the power?

"Although the queen mother is a woman, she is as clever and wise as a man, and has the ability to plan strategies. I am very relieved to leave the affairs of state affairs to the queen mother." Tarba Rui lowered his head, trying to restrain the corners of his mouth that were about to rise .

Isn't that why she came here tonight? Since she hasn't spoken for a long time, so what if she offered it to her?

Only when she really has power in her hands, can she grab her fox tail when she is overwhelmed, and only one blow can eliminate future troubles forever.

"Since the emperor said so, the Ai family will take over this burden. I only hope that the emperor's body will recover soon, and the Ai family can also take good care of themselves." Empress Dowager Shengde showed a satisfied smile on her well-maintained face. What is the purpose of Taba Rui's move? Once the power of the government is handed over to her, he will not try to take it back!
"The Empress Dowager Lao is worrying a lot." Taba Rui said respectfully.

"It's okay, the emperor's body is important. By the way, Aijia heard that the emperor killed three imperial doctors in the imperial hospital. I don't know—"

"Those three people are not skilled in medicine, and they even tried to murder me. If they killed them, they would kill them. Could it be that the Queen Mother still wants to avenge them?" Tarba Rui's eyes lightly fell on the Empress Dowager Shengde, his appearance was indifferent but with a smile. A kind of pressure made Empress Dowager Shengde's heart tense.

"The Ai family is just asking. Those three people really deserve to die. Even if the emperor doesn't execute them, the Ai family will do it." The Empress Dowager Shengde suddenly found it difficult to deal with Taba Rui tonight. Since the government is so powerful, it's time for her to go back.

"Okay, it's late at night, the emperor is not in good health, it's time to rest, Ai's family will go back to the palace first."

"Jiang Qin, send the empress dowager off for me." Tarba Rui ordered, then pulled down the quilt and went to sleep.

In Qianxiang Palace, Empress Dowager Shengde leaned on the couch and could not fall asleep for a long time.

Weird, so weird.

She hadn't noticed it before, but when she came back and thought about it carefully, Taba Rui was indeed different tonight, not only her eyes were different, but even her every move was confusing. It seemed that she was in the dominant position, but she always It felt like everything was going according to Taba Rui's arrangement, including the matter of letting her hang the curtain.

"Xiao Lingzi, call Prince Ning into the palace immediately."
