Concubine's true colors

Chapter 611
Holding half of the Beijing Army Battalion Talisman in his hand, Zhou Xianchen, who was originally benevolent and cowardly, couldn't help but dripped tears.

Although he ascended the throne and became emperor, it would only take about one month, but Zhou Xianchen felt like his days were like years when he sat in this position.

After all, he is still young, and he never thought that one day, this dragon position would fall on him.

So trembling, plus Queen Mother Chen's interference in politics.

At the age of 12 years, Zhou Xianchen actually suffers from insomnia every night, relying on soothing soup to fall asleep.

For him, the throne has always been a kind of torture, making him miserable.

But now Zhou Xianyu is back, and without further ado, he will give him such an important soldier talisman.

Zhou Xianchen was moved and felt that there was finally someone he could rely on.

Although the Empress Dowager Chen was his biological mother, the other party was becoming more and more interested in imperial power. When Zhou Xianchen faced this empress mother, all he had left was fear and uneasiness.

So seeing Zhou Xianyu, after giving him the soldier talisman, he turned around and was about to leave.

In desperation, Zhou Xianchen quickly grabbed the seventh brother's robe sleeve, and said pitifully, with eyes full of expectation:
"Brother Seven, I have always known that Brother Huang was not killed by Sister Jinxuan. So if you are going to find Sister Jinxuan and come back, Xianchen will not dare to stop you. But if you find someone, will you and Sister Jinxuan meet?" Returning to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Chen’er is now said to be the king of a country, but he is just a puppet. The mother and queen of the court listen to the government behind the curtain, and go down to the court to review the memorial, and it is up to the other party to comment and change it. Chen’er is incompetent and cowardly. I can't change it, but I know that I am a member of the Zhou family's royal family, and it is wrong for my mother to interfere in politics like this. So Xianchen needs the help of the seventh brother, or I can cede the throne to my brother, but please come back."

Zhou Xianchen loves reciting poems and composing pairs, a romantic life.

He has no intention of imperial power, and now Zhou Xianyu's strength is a kind of dependence and sustenance in his fearful heart.

And looking at Zhou Xianchen's tearful and aggrieved appearance, Zhou Xianyu grew up in Yanqing Palace since he was a child, and he has always taken good care of this half-brother, and their mutual affection is very deep.

So, after Zhou Xianyu patted Zhou Xianchen on the shoulder to show encouragement, he suppressed his heart to look for Xiao Jinxuan, feeling unbearably anxious for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, he pulled out a smile, and said to Zhou Xianchen:
"Chen'er, you are 12 years old, and it's time to grow up and be sensible. You have to remember that you are the king of this country now, not Empress Chen. Even if the other party is your biological mother, you are the emperor in matters of state. You can't back down and be cowardly. And Seventh Brother promises you that as long as I find Jinxuan, I will definitely come back to Dazhou. Even if I won't stay to assist you, I will help you to take power and let you have your own ability to protect."

Hearing these words, although Zhou Xianchen knew he shouldn't cry, the tears flowed even more uncontrollably.

"Seventh Brother, you must find Sister Jinxuan quickly and come back quickly. Xianchen doesn't want to be the emperor, and now he is terrified every day. The Eighth Sister in the harem covers the sky with one hand, and the former mother and empress meddle in politics and treat me as a display. Chen'er is really hard, and I don't know what to do. I really don't know why my mother and sister Xiangping treat me like this. Obviously, when my father was alive, they loved Chen'er the most. people."

Facing Zhou Xianchen's bitter words, Zhou Xianyu also felt sore in his heart.

But he is a strong man, he can bleed, but he won't cry easily.

"Xianchen, you have to know that people will change, the most ruthless emperor's family, we have no choice when we are born in the royal family. But how to live is in your own hands. Promise Seventh Brother to protect yourself and wait for me to come back I will help you secure the throne."

After saying this, Zhou Xianyu patted Zhou Xianchen's shoulder again.

He pretended in his heart that it was all Xiao Jinxuan's him, and Dang even walked out of the Nether Palace, making preparations for the upcoming road of searching for someone.

But this time when Zhou Xianyu left, neither Empress Chen nor Xiangping spoke to stop him.

After all, they could see that as long as Zhou Xianyu had the military power in his hands, he would go head-to-head with the opponent, and in the end it would be of no use at all except to humiliate himself.

And the Empress Dowager Chen, who was completely suppressed by Zhou Xianyu when she entered the palace, waited until the other party left completely.

Only then did she burst out the anger and anger that she didn't dare to show just now, and not only punished all the forbidden soldiers.

He even vented his anger on Zhou Xianchen who knelt down to beg for mercy just now, and this Emperor Wen, as the Ninth Five-Year Lord.

He was fined to go back to the imperial study to face the wall for three days, and was not even allowed to come out to court.

Even if Empress Chen is Zhou Xianchen's biological mother, she is also the current empress dowager.

But she has no right to restrain the king of a country at all, and her domineering arrogance is really getting more and more insane.

But let's not talk about how Zhou Xianyu returned to the palace immediately, arranged for the deployment of the old department, and asked them to help Zhou Xianchen.

But she was suffocated when she said this, and returned to the Empress Dowager Chen of Yanqing Palace. Not only did she keep Xiangping, but she also brought the resourceful Ji Lingfeng and the now trusted Guo Yi into the palace.

When everyone arrived, she immediately rubbed her forehead with a headache, and then said with worried eyes:

"I think you all know about Prince Yu's return to Beijing. The Ai family doesn't gossip, I just ask who of you has a way to check and balance the other party. The Ai family will never allow Prince Yu to control the government, let alone save Xiao Jinxuan." The murderer who murdered Xianrui."

Hearing Queen Mother Chen's words, everyone couldn't help but fell into silence for a while, and not long after, Ji Lingfeng broke the silence in the hall.

"Empress Dowager, I think you must have heard the saying that the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind. In fact, it is not a bad thing for the king to find the abandoned concubine Xiao himself. After all, we have been looking for it for so long, but we have not been able to arrest Xiao. Returning to Beijing. Maybe the other party has left a secret letter or a code word, as long as we send someone to follow Prince Yu and be the oriole after the mantis, maybe the other party will be able to lead us to find Xiao Jinxuan."

Upon hearing Ji Lingfeng's proposal, Empress Dowager Chen's eyes lit up, while Guo Yi's heart sank, and she sighed secretly that the other party was cunning and difficult to deal with.

But Guo Yi is not someone who waits for nothing, he will not watch Ji Lingfeng succeed in his tricks, so he also immediately said:
"Empress Dowager, Weichen thinks that Duke Mo's method is feasible, and it can also temporarily transfer Prince Yu out of Beijing, so that the other party can't interfere in the court situation. But according to Weichen, it is better to send someone to follow Yu directly. The prince left Beijing together, so if he finds the abandoned concubine Xiao, he can snatch her back immediately. Such two forces, one light and one dark, follow Prince Yu at the same time, and it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. I am familiar with abandoned concubines, so I, Guo Yi, recommended myself, because it was the empress dowager who committed the crime and got into this situation."

For Guo Yi's seemingly loyal remarks, he has always been skeptical of him, and he has never really trusted Ji Lingfeng, so he immediately sneered.

"Master Guo, you are now the head of the six ministers and a pillar of the court. If you go out of Beijing with Prince Yu, it is simply unrealistic. Besides, you are a civil servant, and you don't know a little bit of martial arts. Don't say you will be arrested first." Live in the abandoned concubine, and you will die if you pick the point of Prince Yu's spear. Therefore, Guo Shangshu should stay in the capital and don't participate in it."

Guo Yi wanted to go there in person because he was the only one who knew Xiao Jinxuan's real escape route and where she was going.

So he had to tell Zhou Xianyu the news, and at the same time assist him to join Xiao Jinxuan and get rid of the troops sent by Empress Chen.

In the matter of Xiao Jinxuan, Guo Yi regards the other party as Bole who has the grace to know him, so he will spare his life, so he will naturally continue without retreating half a step:
"Duke Mo's words are wrong. It is because I, Guo Yi, have no power to restrain the chicken, so I will follow the Prince Yu, so that the other party will not be suspicious. And my official position is given by the Queen Mother, for the Queen Mother herself. There is nothing to be afraid of. At that time, I can say that I am sick at home, and I will quietly leave Beijing with the Prince Yu in private. With me being by his side every day as an internal response, the people we send out to follow can also choose the right time to take action. After all, even if we can’t find If I can get rid of Prince Yu on the way to the abandoned concubine, then it will be worthwhile for me, Guo Yi, to take the risk."

Fearing that Empress Chen would become suspicious or refuse to grant his request, Guo Yi simply did what she liked and used the assassination of Zhou Xianyu as a bait to tempt the empress dowager, so she agreed to leave Beijing.

Although Empress Chen valued Guo Yi's ability, she couldn't help but worry a little, whether the other party proposed to leave Beijing at such a sensitive moment, whether there was another purpose.

But hearing that Guo Yi wanted to get rid of Zhou Xianyu as an internal response, the Empress Dowager Chen was really moved, and immediately agreed with the attitude of giving it a try.

And when Guo Yi was excited, he quickly thanked her, and then went down to prepare for a long journey, and exited the Empress Yanqing Palace.

Xiangping wanted to leave too, but Ji Lingfeng stopped him when he didn't want to.

Seeing that not only Xiangping, but even Empress Chen looked over in surprise, Ji Lingfeng smiled and stroked the mask on his face.

"Empress Dowager, this slave has already spoken to you. That Guo Yi is Xiao Jinxuan's person. You must never believe his words. Now he seems to be loyal to you as an internal response, but it is Guo Yi who wants to do it for Zhou Xianyu." Counselor, just help the other party to reunite with Xiao Jinxuan smoothly. Maybe you still can't believe my words, queen mother, and even think that I am jealous of Guo Yi and competing with the other party. But if you have seen my face, believe that the queen mother will not No more thoughts like that."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Lingfeng ignored him at all, Xiangping was surprised and panicked, and wanted to stop the move.

Instead, he held the mask first, and without hesitation the next moment, he exposed his true face to Empress Chen.

It's not that Ji Lingfeng doesn't know that the consequences of his actions are likely to be dragged out by the Queen Mother Chen and quartered.

But he was also forced to take the initiative first, and at this moment, he presented his true identity in front of Queen Mother Chen without concealing it.

Because of Zhou Xianyu's return, Ji Lingfeng managed to plot Zhou Xianrui, and it was because the emperor was suspicious that he easily alienated the relationship between the other party and Xiao Jinxuan.

But Zhou Xianyu is not the case. This battle king Qiansui holds a heavy army, no matter whether the opponent finds Xiao Jinxuan or not, it will not be long before he returns to the court.

And at that time, Ji Lingfeng knew clearly that if he dared to wear a mask, he would be active in front of power.

That Zhou Xianyu would definitely take off his mask because of boredom, then his identity would be invisible, and the only thing waiting for him was death.

Therefore, Ji Lingfeng can only expose his biggest secret to Empress Chen first, and let the Empress Dowager rely on her power to rehabilitate his identity without being affected by the previous treason case.

In this way, Ji Lingfeng can take off his mask in a dignified manner. Even if he is facing Zhou Xianyu, he will have a chance to compete. He will not be restrained to be beaten passively because of his status as a repeat offender in the former court.
