County Lord Changning

Chapter 229 Chief Assistant Zhang Zhou
"The empress dowager is here." Following the announcement from the eunuch, the concubine, who was still angry, immediately cringed. She told the maid to quickly clean up the teacups on the ground, sat up from the soft couch, and went outside the palace. meet.

Accompanied by a group of courtiers, a charming woman came in. The concubine knelt down and said obediently, "The concubine has seen the empress dowager."

The queen mother smiled peacefully, and she walked over to help the concubine up herself, "You don't need to salute if you are pregnant, get up quickly."

The concubine stood up shyly, "I thank you, my concubine, for your compassion."

The empress dowager walked inside with her concubine, and said as she walked, "The emperor is not in good health now, and he lies unconscious on the bed all day long. Your child is the queen of our Yin family and the future emperor. When the child is born When you come down, you will be the empress dowager's milk to your empress, and then you won't be as afraid of trouble as you are now."

The concubine Zhen's eyes flashed brightly, and she answered obediently, "My concubine, please don't worry too much, your majesty, the emperor will definitely wake up."

The queen mother smiled, and glanced at the puddle of water stains on the ground, "Yes, the emperor will definitely wake up, Aijia believes that he will not let the white-haired Aijia send the black-haired one."

Concubine Zhen noticed the Empress Dowager's gaze, a trace of discomfort flashed across her face, and she explained, "I just heard that the empress is coming, and the concubine got up in a hurry, and tripped the teacup on the ground."

The queen mother gave her a look, "You can't be so flustered when you are pregnant. What if you get pregnant! Now you are the most precious person in the palace, you have to be careful in everything, do you understand?"

The concubine answered in a low voice, "The concubine would like to follow the teachings of the empress."

The Queen Mother sat in Anyang Palace for a while, got up and went back to the palace. On the way, she heard that An Guogong was in Xiangkun Palace, so she asked the soft sedan to speed up, and the soft sedan stopped outside the gate of Xiangkun Palace. An Guogong, who was drinking tea, frowned and walked over, "Brother, I told you not to go to my palace all the time, lest people gossip again."

"Now we are still afraid of this?" An Guogong sneered, "Since we dare to do this, we are not afraid of them daring to say it. Anyway, I have heard them say that I want to be a minister of power in the past few years. I wish to be a real power minister, to the point that those people dare not say it!"

His son was dead, and he had nothing to fear!
The Empress Dowager sat down on the rug, resting her forehead with one hand, and asked lazily, "Is there any whereabouts of that bastard yet?"

An Guogong shook his head, and when the queen mother mentioned Yin Jinglan, his face darkened, "I really didn't expect that thin and weak brat to raise so many hidden guards secretly, and all of them were elites. The people I sent out , were nearly all assassinated."

The queen mother clenched her hand tightly, and a hint of sternness flashed in her eyes, "Damn it! You shouldn't have kept this damn kid! I never thought that a baby who was going to die in the swaddle back then almost killed us!"

"Yes, a puppet should look like a puppet." An Guogong said in a deep voice, "How about that concubine?"

They have already failed to raise a puppet once, and now this time they must not be wrong again. They can come for the second time if they miss it once, but they cannot come for the third time.

When mentioning the concubine Zhen, a trace of disdain flashed across the Queen Mother's face. She played with the armor cover in her hand and said disdainfully, "I'm just pregnant with a bastard, and I dare to be proud of being favored. The child who doesn't speak well, I will invade the pigsty with her."

"It's a good thing to be proud of being favored." An Guogong smiled, "I'm afraid that she is not delicate. A delicate body is the most prone to accidents during childbirth. It is normal to only keep the small ones but not the big ones. thing."

The queen mother smiled, "It's still my brother who is thoughtful. He knows that he is a bastard, and he can't live in this world well, so as not to cause trouble." She stood up, "Then I will let her be more delicate. several months."

An Guogong hummed, and said seriously, "I came to see you today because Zhang Zhou, Tan Aofeng and others wanted to see the emperor, and said that they would see the emperor for the last time even if the emperor was critically ill. I'm afraid I can't hide it."

"They never believed that the emperor was seriously ill!" The queen mother's face became gloomy, and she said in a deep voice, "some of the envoys who went to Dazhou revealed that the emperor disappeared before going to Dazhou. They must know that the emperor is not in the palace. How dare you be so bold!" Gritting his teeth, he said, "I shouldn't have kept them in Zhangzhou back then!"

An Guogong said solemnly, "There are quite a few people in Zhang Zhou's faction, we can't act rashly now." What's more, the Zhang family is also an important person in Chen country, they still have to be careful.

The queen mother frowned, and said dissatisfiedly, "Brother was too kind back then, if he hadn't kept those people behind, why would there be such troubles now."

An Guogong raised his eyebrows, "If the name is not right and the words are not right, what can you do!"

"Well, my brother should pay more attention to the whereabouts of that little bastard. Even if he is dead, my brother should bring it back to the palace. Since they want to see it, let them watch it." The Queen Mother sneered, "Since he dared to If he leaves the palace, I will prevent him from coming back alive!"

An Guogong hummed, "Now that the imperial guards are all our people, it is not so easy for him to return to the palace."

Yin Jinglan rushed back to Xijing of Chen Kingdom day and night, Qifeng had already brought Jingwei's many hidden guards waiting outside the city, and when they saw Yin Jinglan's figure, everyone greeted them, Yin Jinglan raised his hand to stop them from saluting, and said coldly, "Go to Zhang! government."

"My lord?" Qi Feng showed doubts, isn't the most important thing now is to go to the palace first?

Yin Jinglan said, "Look for Zhang Zhou. Since they announced that I am sick and can't see others, they have made it clear that they want to use my life to threaten Zhang Zhou and others not to mess around. What if I am not in their hands?"

Qi Feng frowned, "Master, you mean to make Zhang Zhou and the others make trouble?"

"As the Minister of Gu Ming appointed by the late emperor, it is reasonable for Zhang Zhou to see me." Qi Feng didn't say anything more, and immediately arranged to enter the city. The team members entered Beijing openly.

When Zhang Zhou saw Yin Jinglan in his house, he was surprised and knelt down to salute, "My minister, Zhang Zhou, sees the emperor."

Yin Jinglan raised her hand, "The first assistant is very polite."

Zhang Zhou got up, led Yin Jinglan into his study, served tea for Yin Jinglan himself, and said, "Why did Your Majesty leave the palace?"

Yin Jinglan looked at Zhang Zhou with a half-smile, took a sip of hot tea, and curled his lips, "What does the chief assistant think?"

Zhang Zhou's face darkened, and he raised his voice, "He Wei Guoan is too rampant!"
