Feng Yin

Chapter 194

The residual fragrance is not exhausted, and the chaotic ashes are still warm.

Empress Dowager Jing rested her elbows and closed her eyes, leaned her body with condensed eyebrows, and leaned tiredly on the soft chair beside her, her troubles were clearly visible on her cold and calm face.

A gust of night wind blows directly on the lingering incense in the furnace, which is still on and off. In an instant, the lingering light is cut off, and the incense is covered with ashes.

Empress Dowager Jing suddenly opened her eyes wide, as if she had been frightened by a nightmare, she stretched out her hand and swiped in the air, shouting eagerly:
"Doro!"

Sister Dorothy stepped forward and supported the panicked Empress Dowager Jing:
"Empress Dowager, this old slave is here!"

Empress Dowager Jing held Nanny Doro's hand tightly, and there was deep fear in her eyes:

"He's back, Doro! He's back alive!"

Doro blinked with a smile, and knelt down beside Empress Dowager Jing:

"It's just a nightmare, the Empress Dowager must not take it seriously!"

Empress Dowager Jing shook her head more and more firmly:
"It's not a dream, Doro, you are the same as me, you can't be more clear in your heart! The island owner is him, right?!"

Doro raised his hand to hold the cloak that had slipped from Empress Dowager Jing's shoulders, and tied it firmly in front of him with gentle concern:
"The empress dowager is exhausted, she has not slept for several days, I am afraid she lost her mind for a while!"

Empress Dowager Jing stared at the golden Buddha beside her with dazed eyes, then sighed softly, and slowly closed her eyes: "Since it's karma, why should I, the eunuch Brahma, be afraid of! If you want to come to this world, there is no One place has allowed me to escape!"

After all, bowing down is a devout prostration.

Duo Luo frowned and stood by his side. After the Empress Dowager Jing had finished worshiping the Buddha, she quietly stepped forward and helped her up:
"Let the old slave say one more thing, if the island owner is really him, why does the empress dowager allow him to live? If you want peace of mind, you must kill him soon!"

Empress Dowager Jing sighed and shook her head: "Duoluo, I can't do it!"

"Then let the old slave do it!"

"no!"

Empress Dowager Jing turned around abruptly, tightly grasping Doro's hand:

"I...have already killed him once, how can I have the heart...to kill him a second time! Since God let him return safely, come to think of it, you and I shouldn't put the old hatred on him again! After all, at that time He is just a child!"

Deep worry arose in Dorothy's eyes:
"Empress Dowager, I'm afraid, he is no longer the weak and kind person he was back then! If he really let go of his previous hatred, he should take off his mask and use his true face to face you and Your Majesty calmly! Today, Empress Dowager Let the tiger go back to the mountain, don't be afraid, one day, the tiger will roam the world, and Yuan'er's country may be disrupted!"

Empress Dowager Jing's words flickered: "Perhaps... maybe Aijia is suspicious, the face under the mask is not him at all!"

"Yes, you can tell if you take it off! If the Empress Dowager is afraid, this old slave is willing to act on her behalf!"

Empress Dowager Jing hesitated:
"In the current situation, it's better not to startle the snake!"

Nurse Duo Luo's dark eyes turned quickly, and she raised her steps in a moment and said in a low voice, "This old slave has a way, which can save the empress dowager from worrying about the future, and find out the true identity of the island owner!"

Empress Dowager Jing was puzzled, and Mother Doro leaned forward, whispering again.

Empress Dowager Jing frowned upon hearing the sound, and after pondering for a while, she finally let out a long sigh:
"Forget it, just be careful!"

Duo Luo responded with a nod, and was about to turn around and leave, when he heard Empress Dowager Jing chase after her and said:

"Whether it's true or not, don't hurt him at all! Ai Jia doesn't think about it, if he makes a careless move, he will lose everything!"

Duo Luo bowed and replied: "Empress Dowager, don't worry!"

After saying that, he was about to back away, just after taking two steps, he seemed to think of something again, and immediately turned around and said:
"The envoy from the Northern Liao Dynasty asked for an audience for three consecutive days in the name of chasing after the saint. Look, Empress Dowager, should I give him a definite refusal..."

Doro hesitated to speak, but Empress Dowager Jing frowned coldly:
"The Holy Majesty is still in a coma. Although the Ai family took advantage of the excuse of 'the winter solstice is a long festival, all officials will be out of business' to rest for three days, on the surface it seems to have stabilized all the courtiers! But the Ai family knows in their hearts that they have long been harboring ulterior motives. They spread rumors everywhere, took the opportunity to disturb people's hearts, and made everyone in Tianhua City panic! Now, this envoy from Beiliao has made trouble, and he keeps saying that he wants to see the Holy One on the pretext of looking for his relatives! Hmph, just want to have a show It's a good show to make matters worse, since this is the case, Ai Jia will play with him!"

"What does the Queen Mother mean?!"

Empress Dowager Jing revealed a strange look in her cold eyes:
"Since it's the festive season, there is no reason to treat guests slowly! According to the wishes of Aijia, this year's long festival, Aijia will be more lively than any other year in the past!"

Doro has concerns:

"But the body of the Holy Majesty right now...? Also, the king and queen of Eastern Chu have disappeared without a trace. It seems a little inappropriate to hold a big feast at this time?!"

Empress Dowager Jing sneered:
"Duoluo, don't be blinded by that Liluo! Do you think he would really give up the life of the Eastern Chu King to be a dedicated Nanchuan Chulihou?!"

Doro frowned and thought: "What the Queen Mother means, the Eastern Chu King is safe and sound!"

"If the Ai family's guess is correct, Dongchu will send someone again in a few days, and by finding the reason for the emperor, I will ask my teacher Nanchuan for punishment!"

Empress Dowager Jing spoke calmly, but Duo Luo suddenly realized:

"This old slave understands. No wonder the Empress Dowager wanted to write and run the script herself a few days ago, and asked Princess Keyu to move troops to Sichuan on the grounds of taking Prince Xirong back to the court!"

Empress Dowager Jing let out a long sigh:
"If Yuan'er hadn't been too impatient and acted recklessly with that self-righteous Phoenix, how could Nanchuan have reached this point!"

"But empress dowager, can you be sure that you can control Na Keyu?!"

Empress Dowager Jing smiled slightly:
"Aijia has her own way!"

Doro frowned and nodded, feeling uneasy again for a moment:
"Then, where is Mrs. Qingrui? The Empress Dowager really rest assured that she will heal the Holy Majesty!"

Empress Dowager Jing slowly frowned:
"For some reason, Aijia always feels that she is more trustworthy than any outsider in this palace!"

"But……"

Empress Dowager Jing raised her hand to interrupt Doro's questioning:

"Regardless of whether she is the emperor of Beiliao or not, as long as the Qiankun Yu is locked in her hands, Aijia will take this opportunity to keep that Beiliao in check! Besides, she risked her life to plead for the order to protect the safety of the saint, Change the island owner's life! Aijia is sure, she will not mess around!"

Mother Duoluo was full of worries, but seeing Empress Dowager Jing's determined face, she immediately bowed and nodded. After being rude, she was about to walk out of the Zen Palace slowly, when she suddenly heard Bi Qingliu's anxious shouting outside the door:
"Empress Dowager, I want to see Empress Dowager!"

Empress Dowager Jing frowned when she heard the sound, and murderous intent instantly appeared on her face.

Duo Luo understood, "This old slave will make Bi Qingliu..."

"Let her in!"

Empress Dowager Jing interrupted Sister Doro in a dignified voice, "Aijia wants to see what death method she will choose for herself!"

Duo Luo bowed and retreated, and after a while, Bi Qingliu rushed in anxiously, and when she saw Empress Dowager Jing sipping tea, she forgot the etiquette for a moment, and went straight forward and shouted:

"Empress Dowager, you have been fooled!"

Empress Dowager Jing took a sip of the warmth, then slowly raised her eyes, and shot a burst of majesty directly at the wild-haired Bi Qingliu.

When Bi Qingliu saw this, she was taken aback for a moment, but the next moment, she hastily plopped her knees and said eagerly:
"My maidservant Bi Qingliu kowtowed to see the Empress Dowager! Just because of an emergency, this servant was impatient and out of courtesy, please don't blame the Empress Dowager!"

Empress Dowager Jing blinked and blew on the hot tea in the cup, and said coldly:

"The sky is falling, Nanchuan still has Aijia and Shengshang, it's not your turn, a little palace maid, to spread false imperial decrees and act recklessly!"

Bi Qingliu turned pale when she heard the sound, although she was terrified in her heart, her mouth was still full of unrepentant strong words:

"I... this servant is guilty! But this servant also wants to take the emperor's place and eradicate the remnants of the Phoenix Party! That's why I risk the world's disgrace. Empress Dowager, you are always sensible, and you must understand Qingliu's good intentions!"

"Good intentions? In this way, the Ai family and the emperor should thank you for Nanchuan, right?!"

Bi Qingliu jumped up when he heard the sound: "We are all a family, the queen mother is welcome! Qingliu came here this time for a more important matter, that box..."

Bi Qingliu hadn't finished speaking, only to hear Empress Dowager Jing slam the teacup in her hand and squat down on the table fiercely, followed by an angry shout:

"A bastard who speaks without words!"

Bi Qingliu knelt down in shock, but still held her head up stubbornly:
"Empress Dowager, you are Rong Qingliu, I'm done talking!"

Empress Dowager Jing suppressed the anger in her heart and suppressed:

"Bi Qingliu, don't think that you can blackmail Aijia everywhere because you know two prophecies! A villain like you who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth and has no self-knowledge, if Aijia really wanted to kill you, you would have died a thousand times already Already!"

Bi Qingliu was upset when he heard the sound, straightened up in an instant, and desperately said:
"I know, isn't it just a slap in the face! You don't kill me, because you are afraid that if you kill me, you will anger my omniscient father! You are afraid that my father will turn to the enemy in a fit of anger. , All is lost! Let Nanchuan, who was originally the most hopeful to rule the world, become a place of humiliation that has been reduced to the iron hooves of other countries because of the momentary anger of you, an old woman!"

As soon as the words fell, Empress Dowager Jing raised her hand angrily, and slapped Bi Qingliu on the face.

In an instant, Bi Qingliu covered her sore cheeks and glared angrily, and jumped up straight:

"Old woman, kill me if you have the ability! Today I, Bi Qingliu, will not let you go and tell you that there are many people who want to overthrow your Nanchuan! You can kill me, can you kill them all! Hmph!"

Empress Dowager Jing was furious all over, and approached Bi Qingliu step by step, Bi Qingliu was so frightened by the majesty of Empress Dowager Jing instantly, she couldn't help but staggered back, and sat on the ground without paying attention.

Empress Dowager Jing gritted her teeth secretly, stared at Bi Qingliu and let out a harsh voice:
"Before you die, Aijia wants you to have a good time!"

Bi Qingliu lost all arrogance in an instant, her nose sore, and she cried out in horror:

"The empress dowager, spare me, Qingliu doesn't want to die! Qingliu just wanted to tell the empress dowager that the box has been tampered with long ago, woohoo... Qingliu is really kind, and wants to remind the empress dowager, don't Fooled..."

Empress Dowager Jing frowned and paused: "Speak clearly! Who moved the box? How did you know?!"

Bi Qingliu shed tears and raised her eyes boldly:

"I... I said, can you... Can you spare me?!"
