Chapter 107 The high priest is evil
The two of them talked and avoided Zhongli Yuan for you.
Wu Ma Luoxue had excellent eyesight and had long since figured out that the young eunuch beside the emperor was a woman in disguise.
Given the wisdom of the Emperor of Dongxia, he could tolerate a woman disguised as a eunuch following him around. He must have tacitly approved it.
That's why she didn't let Zhongli Yuan retreat. She knew her own status and would not dream of reaching that unreachable person.
After Wu Ma Luoxue left, Zhongli Yuan looked at Leng Qingyi in confusion.
He met Zhongli Yuan's puzzled and worried eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
"What medicine can force out the poisonous insects?"
"Something about a medicine that forces out the poisonous insects."
"People in Southern Xinjiang are very evil. It's best not to have too much contact with them."
"Well, it's just so-so. It's nothing to me."
"So what exactly did you guys trade?"
"There's no deal. I helped the Southern Xinjiang Royal Family escape the control of the High Priest, and they must help me if I need them."
"Escape from the High Priest's control?"
"Yes, don't you know? All the people in the Southern Xinjiang Royal Family are actually Gu raised by the Southern Xinjiang High Priest."
"how come?"
"Why not? The royal family of Southern Xinjiang has a special bloodline, making it the most suitable for breeding Gu."
"How could the High Priest of Southern Xinjiang have such great abilities?"
"You also said that the people of Southern Xinjiang are evil. Actually, it's not the people of Southern Xinjiang who are evil, it's the Southern Xinjiang High Priest who is evil."
"How do you know this secret?"
"That's what the princes from Southern Xinjiang said when they came to see me with Wu Ma Luoxue."
"How did they know you had the medicine to free them from the High Priest's control?"
"You forgot that when I was competing with Wu Ma Luoxue, she spat out a mouthful of blood, and that blood contained the poisonous insect that the high priest had planted in her body."
"You are still you, as omnipotent as ever."
"That's right, don't look at who I am."
Seeing Leng Qingyi's confident look, Zhongli Yuan didn't ask any more questions. It was he who was too worried that made him confused.
While the two were having dinner together, Nie Yueming walked in with a somewhat grim expression.
"This slave is here to see the Emperor."
When Nie Yueming saw that the little pear not only did not greet him when he came in, but instead sat there leisurely to eat with the emperor, a trace of jealousy flashed through his heart.
"what's up?"
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has returned to the capital and is now outside the Yangxin Palace."
"Make her wait."
"Yes."
As Nie Yueming retreated, he secretly glanced at the two of them.
I saw that little Lizi was serving food to the emperor while eating by himself. What’s more important is that he didn’t even change his chopsticks when serving food to the emperor.
And the emperor actually ate the food that Little Pear took away.
This action made Nie Yueming's heart beat wildly, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.
As to whether it is what he thinks, it depends on the emperor's reaction after Gao Yaoyao's action.
The empress dowager who was waiting outside the Yangxin Palace had a gloomy expression on her face, and she was not too surprised to see Nie Yueming come out alone.
After all, the bastard born by a scumbag is uneducated.
The Queen Mother simply asked the palace servants to carry the sedan chair while she sat on it.
The weather is much cooler in autumn, and the sun is shining brightly today, so it’s okay to wait outside for a while longer.
Thinking that her son had gone to kill the emperor without consulting her, the empress dowager's face became even gloomier.
She knew her own son well, and he must have been instigated by others to act without consulting anyone else.
As for who instigated her son, if she finds out, she will definitely not let him off easily.
If she doesn't take action, do those people really think that anyone can come up and step on her?
"Go and invite the Second Prince's wife and the concubine to come to the palace for me."
"Yes."
The Empress Dowager waited outside the Yangxin Palace for half an hour, but no one came to let her in.
Gao Yaoyao was cleaning the Yangxin Palace while observing the Queen Mother's actions.
He quietly spoke to the system: "System, why do the Emperor and the Queen Mother have such a bad relationship?"
"Host, the Queen Mother is not Zhongli Yuan's biological mother, so naturally their relationship is not good."
"Isn't this ancient times? The word 'filial piety' can crush a person. Is it really okay for the Emperor to leave the Empress Dowager out in the cold for so long?"
"Host, don't worry. Zhongli Yuan's character is that of a tyrant. Not to mention that the Queen Mother is not his biological mother, even if she is his biological mother, he will still do as he pleases."
"Do you think I can start with their mother-son relationship, first curry favor with the Queen Mother, and then use her to get close to the Emperor?"
"Host, I advise you not to do this. The Queen Mother's own son wants to kill Zhong Liyuan. To Zhong Liyuan, the Queen Mother is his enemy. Trying to please the Queen Mother will only backfire."
"Then how can I complete the quest? The Emperor's favorability towards me is only +3 now. When will it be maxed out?"
"Host, do your best! The system can only provide assistance to complete the task, and the host still needs to find a way out on his own."
"Oh, how long do I have to sweep the floor here?"
When Zhongli Yuan came out of the Yangxin Palace, he glanced at Gao Yaoyao who was absent-minded, and walked straight towards the empress dowager who was waiting at the door.
"Your Majesty, please."
The empress dowager was angry when she saw that the eunuch beside the emperor had no respect for her at all, but she had to endure it because her son was still in the hands of the emperor.
After Zhongli Yuan delivered his message, he turned and left, almost making the Queen Mother faint from anger.
When the Empress Dowager and her entourage arrived at the Yangxin Palace, Zhong Liyuan had already stood obediently behind Leng Qingyi, with no intention of bowing at all.
Not to mention Leng Qingyi, who was sitting on the chaise longue reading a storybook without even glancing at the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother was breathing rapidly, and the palace maids around her hurried forward to help her breathe.
Seeing that the Queen Mother was feeling better, he turned around and knelt down to pay his respects.
"This slave is here to see the Emperor."
Leng Qingyi didn't look up. He turned a page of paper with his bony fingers before speaking calmly, "Taiwanese madam, please tell me how you plan to resolve your son's issue."
"The emperor is so well-educated! How could the dog slaves around him not even know how to bow to me?"
"If the Queen Mother still wants to return to the palace and turn around to leave, please leave without seeing me off."
"you……"
The senior palace maid beside the empress dowager pulled her back, fearing that she would say something unpleasant and make the emperor angry.
"How can you let Rui'er go?"
"As the Queen Mother of a country, you should know best how to deal with rebels."
"Rui'er is not that kind of person. There must be a misunderstanding."
"What misunderstanding? All I know is that it was him who led the assassins to stop me, it was him who pointed the sword at me, and it was him who admitted to treason."
"Then why did you ask me to come here?"
When Leng Qing raised his head, the smile on his face almost blinded everyone present.
"It's not that we can't talk. Little Lizi, why don't you bring a chair over for the Queen Mother?"
The Queen Mother was furious, but she had to endure it no matter how angry she was because her son was being held in the wrong hands.
Looking at the small stool brought by Zhongli Yuan, the empress dowager felt even more disgusted with the emperor.
"Your Majesty, just tell me what you want."
"I want 80% of the Yao family's assets."
