in the sound of swallows

Chapter 126
Wiping her tears, Empress Dowager Wen sat up and leaned against the head of the bed, thinking with a straight face, Gu Chaobei was able to control civil and military officials unconsciously, it was her negligence, and when she regained her energy, let Fu Xueshi go back The city is fine, after all, there are still people in the court who listen to her.

What she has to do now is to raise her spirit well.

As soon as he was thinking about it, Gu Chaobei's voice came from outside: "I come to pay my respects to my mother."

Empress Dowager Wen didn't bring it up in one breath, and coughed violently.Gu Chaobei really wanted her to die, so he came to pay his respects?

Fanghua hurriedly helped her sit up, and took a Shu brocade shawl to put on her.On the other end, Gu Chaobei had already brought a group of Yingying and Yanyan in.

Shen Guiyan followed Gu Chaobei, Xi Guiren and Hua Concubine were also standing very close, but Concubine Shen led the other people in the harem, but they stood a little far away.

Gu Chaobei had a gentle face, but he didn't salute. He came in and sat down next to the queen mother, looked at her with a smile and said, "The mother's hair is a little white in just a blink of an eye."

Empress Dowager Wen was startled, and subconsciously touched her bun.She is only in her forties, where did her gray hair come from?

Gu Chaobei stretched out his hand, gently twirled one of Empress Dowager Wen's hair, wiped it with his finger, and pulled it out suddenly: "Look."

Shen Guiyan stood next to Gu Chaobei, with a serious face, not smiling.

He put white paint on his fingers. She was just curious about what she was doing with it, but now she understands, it's nothing else, just to frighten Empress Dowager Wen and her old man.

Since ancient times, it is the most unseen, the hero is old and the beauty is old.

Empress Dowager Wen's eyes widened. Before she could see clearly, the white hair was thrown out by Gu Chaobei: "The empress dowager still has it on her head. Would you like me to pull it out for you?"

"Ah!" Empress Dowager Wen stretched out her hand and violently pushed Gu Chaobei away, covering her bun with red eyes: "Don't touch Aijia!"

Fanghua hurried over and stood next to the queen mother, frowning at Gu Chaobei: "Your Majesty, the queen mother is emotionally unstable today, why do you need to provoke me again?"

"I have to come." Gu Chaobei said in a very serious manner: "The affairs of the harem are under the control of the empress dowager, so my son and minister specially came to ask for an order to make Yan'er a queen. What does the empress think?"

"Impossible." Empress Dowager Wen shook her head without thinking, looked at Shen Guiyan coldly and said, "If Ai's family is in one day, she will not be allowed to take the throne. As long as the harem is returned to Ai's family, she will Shen Guiyan don't want to be a queen!"

Shen Guiyan took half a step forward, looking at the Empress Dowager without being angry or annoyed, and said: "The Empress Dowager Wen is sick now, the Emperor loves you and you have to worry about the previous court and the harem, so I want to decree to hand over the power of the harem to the younger generation." Empress Dowager, the promotion of the status of concubines in the harem will be determined by Empress Dowager Nian."

Anyway, it's the queen mother.

Seize the power of her harem?Want to make that bitch Nian Chanjuan arrogant?Empress Dowager Wen snorted coldly: "The Ai family disagrees."

Gu Chaobei smiled, and reached out to take out a volume of imperial decree: "I have already written the decree, and I will have someone announce it later. It doesn't matter if the queen mother disagrees, I'm just here to go through the motions. I have seen it, you are already old, these matters should be left to my son to deal with."

No matter what you call disagreement, now no one listens to you, I have the final say.

Hearing this meaning, Empress Dowager Wen was so angry that she couldn't breathe, pointed at Gu Chaobei and said, "You bastard, you want to monopolize power!"

Gu Chaobei's complexion darkened, and Shen Guiyan also frowned: "Queen Dowager, I dare to remind you that the emperor is the blood of the late emperor. The queen mother just said that word, which is disrespectful to the late emperor. I will hand it over to the clan's mansion. can be convicted."

Empress Dowager Wen slapped Shen Guiyan with a slap, her eyes were full of viciousness.Shen Guiyan had expected that the old lady liked to slap people, so she leaned back, and Empress Dowager Wen slapped Nanny Fanghua next to her.

Sister Fanghua was astonished.

"Do you still dare to hide?" Queen Mother Wen was furious, she wanted to get up and fight again, but Gu Chaobei had already held her hand.

"Mother, this minister is here to discuss with you, not to watch you beat my concubine." Gu Chaobei said softly: "My minister is in awe of mother, so I came to ask mother for instructions. , The queen mother always has to make a choice. If both sides have to be taken care of, it will definitely take a lot of effort, and maybe you will be stunned next time."

Empress Dowager Wen was taken aback.

What Gu Chaobei meant was that she was either in charge of the harem, or involved in government affairs?

She really wanted to choose to participate in the government, but did the emperor leave her room at 01:30?In the court today, her empress dowager's face has been swept away.Even if she wants to go back again, can she still dictate some things like before?

This is clearly a trap set for her. If she chooses the former court, the power of the harem will be gone, and she will still be like a puppet in the court.

If you choose the harem... Empress Dowager Wen gave Shen Guiyan a cold look.

"The Ai family understands what the emperor means." After tidying up her appearance, the Empress Dowager Wen calmed down: "The emperor is getting old, and he should be in charge by himself. The Ai family will not stop you, just enjoy your old age in this harem."

Gu Chaobei was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "The queen mother is so considerate of my son, I am very happy. Then let's make it so. If the mother mother disagrees with Yan'er being the queen, I will not force it."

Shen Guiyan also took a step back, and obediently stood aside and said: "The concubines and sisters will definitely serve the queen mother well in the future."

Empress Dowager Wen frowned.The decision she made by herself is not going to be a problem. Even if she does not go to court, she still has her own influence. Compared to losing the power of the harem, it is better not to go to court.

But I don't know why, the expressions of these people in front of them seem to have succeeded.

What are they planning?Empress Dowager Wen had a lump in her heart, she was suspicious, and her head ached.

"The empress dowager should take care of her health." Concubine Shen on the side spoke softly, "When her body recovers, she will have the strength to manage the harem."

Empress Dowager Wen took a look at her, Shen Hanlu came out of the cold palace, she seemed to be a lot more sensible, and at least it made her feel a little better.It's just that she is not favored, so what's the use of being obedient?

"I still have something to say to my mother." Gu Chaobei said with a smile, "Concubine Yan stays, and the rest of you should go back to the palace to pray for the Empress Dowager."

"Yes."

What the emperor said was just like the empress dowager Wen died of a serious illness, and he prayed for blessings.Empress Dowager Wen was extremely dissatisfied, but all the concubines had already left.

"Mother Fanghua, please move too." Gu Chaobei said with a smile, "It's about royal secrets, so it's good for Mother Fang to guard outside."

Fanghua frowned, she was worried.Although the emperor in front of him was smiling, he looked terrifying.

Empress Dowager Wen snorted coldly: "Fanghua, you go out, these two people can't touch Ai's family, go outside and guard."

"Yes." Only then did Fanghua answer, exit and close the door.

"Is there any royal secret?" Empress Dowager Wen raised her eyelids and looked at Gu Chaobei: "You are only half of the royal family, how can you know more than Aijia?"

"Naturally." Gu Chaobei smiled slightly: "My mother doesn't know who killed the sixth prince back then, I know."

Empress Dowager Wen paused, her mind was a little unresponsive, and she looked at the emperor blankly.

Shen Guiyan came out with two spiritual tablets, and stood beside Empress Dowager Wen's bed, smiling very gently: "Is the Empress Dowager literate?"

Empress Dowager Wen was furious: "The Ai family came from a scholarly family, so you can't read? You are so bold!"

Shen Guiyan was not frightened by her, but respectfully turned the two spirit tablets in her hand towards Empress Dowager Wen.

Of the two spirit tablets, one is "Zhuangfei Baishi" and the other is "Sixi Family".

Empress Dowager Wen took a breath, and waved her hand to sweep away the spirit seat: "You dare to bring any dirty things in front of Ai's family? Shen Guiyan, you are really brave!"

Quickly protecting the two spiritual seats in her arms, Shen Guiyan smiled slightly: "The concubine is not courageous at all. On the contrary, the concubine is timid and knows that there is reincarnation in the law of heaven. Whatever evil I do, there will be retribution." , so concubines dare not do anything."

"Empress Dowager, are you courageous?"

Empress Dowager Wen moved into the bed, turned her eyes away and said, "You madman, you are not worthy to serve the emperor at all. The Ai family will decree that you will be demoted to the cold palace!"

"If the Empress Dowager thinks clearly about what I'm going to say, and if you can still make an order, I won't stop you." Gu Chaobei took the words and said with a smile, "Didn't the Queen Mother once say that if you don't like something, just wipe it lightly." , is it gone?"

Empress Dowager Wen looked at him in horror.

"When I was just a courtier, I didn't like the sixth prince very much. He was fatuous and incompetent. He would only obey his mother's words. Such a person still wants to inherit the throne."

"So I thought of a way to let him inherit the throne without his life. Even if the crown prince is gone, it won't be his turn."

Many images flashed through her mind, some of her prince was covered in blood, some of her sixth prince was murdered after dying, and finally died in Huangquan.

God knows how much she cried when the sixth prince died.Regardless of interests, that is also her own son.For a long time, Empress Dowager Wen dreamed that she killed a murderer with her own hands.

Her emperor died too unjustly!

Now Gu Chaobei said that he knew who killed the emperor's son, and also said that he didn't like her emperor's son.

Her mind went blank, Empress Dowager Wen couldn't connect these words together, but her hand was already on Gu Chaobei's neck before she realized it.

"you you…"

"Mother, it's me." Gu Chaobei didn't panic at all, stretched out his hand to pull away Queen Mother Wen's hand, and said softly: "It was the prince's idea to kill the sixth prince, and it happened to be the one who carried out the order and arranged the manpower. That's all for the son. The empress mother is sad and obedient, so you don't have to think about the sixth prince all the time, look, the son was helped to the throne by your own hands, isn't he also your emperor's son?"

It's not worth stabbing a knife in someone's heart in the court, but now there's a magic trick.

The murderer you hate the most, the enemy you want to kill the most, was put on the throne by your own hands, and will live a lifetime of prosperity and wealth!

Empress Dowager Wen took a deep breath, but couldn't let it out for a long time, her bloodshot eyeballs protruded, as if trying to break free from their sockets!
