He casually found a dilapidated hut, and Chen Mu summoned the seven demons of the gourd to discuss the next plan.

Although the seven demons of the gourd escaped successfully, the West Factory would never give up. It is estimated that they have begun to closely monitor the city gates to prevent them from escaping.

But Chen Mu was not worried about this.

To leave the capital, he has many ways to sneak out secretly.

What he was worried about was that now the two big bosses Yu Shaoqin and Gu Jianling were standing opposite him, what would the Empress Dowager have to do with him?

After all, the Empress Dowager's attitude determines the safety of the people around him in the capital.

"It's really troublesome."

Chen Mu rubbed his eyebrows, and was extremely irritable.

Looking at Chen Mu with a cold expression, the gourd demons who had been shouting in the cell were silent at this time. After all, they also saw Chen Mu had a dispute with the West Factory for them, and even disobeyed the imperial edict.

Such actions are enough to show that Chen Mu really wants to help them.

If it is hostile, it will be ignorant of politeness.

"You seven brothers now see how dangerous the current situation is."

Chen Mu said lightly. "Don't think about staying in the capital. You can only go to Tiande Valley with me. No matter what your grandfather is planning, you only have this road to choose from."

"Don't worry, Lord Chen, since my brothers and others agree to go to Tiandesity Valley with you, they will definitely not go back on their promises."

The gourd dick said in a deep voice.

Others nodded one after another.

Chen Mu glanced at Shao Siming who was guarding the door and asked the gourd second son: "You can tell me now, what are you looking for?"

"this……"

The second son of Hulu looked slightly stiff and looked embarrassed.

"What? Don't trust me?" Chen Mu sneered and glanced at the other gourd demons. "You don't want to say it?"

Hulu Laowu shook his head quickly and squeezed out an ugly smile: "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just... it's just this..." After stuttering for a long time, Laowu didn't say anything, so he had to smile embarrassedly.

He glanced at the other brothers, and everyone bowed their heads and was unwilling to speak.

Although everyone chose to trust Chen Mu, it was still quite resistant to the seven brothers who wanted to ask them to give up Princess Xueer.

They were unwilling to let Princess Xueer take risks.

You should know that Princess Xueer is still a "fugitive" of Pisces Country. Once the Da Yan court knows about it, she is very likely to be sent back to Pisces Country.

It would be too late without their protection at that time.

After waiting for a long time, no one spoke. Chen Mu smiled and said, "Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't say it. I can't knock your head open to spy, and we are just a cooperative relationship at the moment. But now you seven are all here, so there is time to consider whether to tell me."

"actually……"

The gourd dick was struggling for a while, and finally said, "Actually, we are going to find a key."

"Key?" Chen Mu frowned.

The gourd nodded slightly and said, "This key is very important to us and can help us rescue grandpa. As for what the key is for, I'm sorry, we can't tell you this."

"But the question is, why are you looking for the keys to go to my woman's house?"

Chen Mu was very puzzled.

Hulu Lao Er said: "The clue we got is there, and it will definitely not be wrong."

“Where did the clue come from?”

"Can't say it."

“…”

Chen Mu was speechless.

If these guys weren't needed, I really wanted to put a hammer on everyone's head.

However, out of his keen intuition to investigate cases all year round, Chen Mu guessed that these seven brothers might have chosen such a tough concealment in order to protect one person.

The clues to the key were probably provided by that person.

Who will this person be?

You should know that it is impossible for the seven gourd demons to escape pursuit in recent years, and it is impossible for anyone to help them.

Chen Mu thought about it for a long time but had no idea.

But vaguely, he felt that he seemed to have overlooked some important information and it was difficult to recall it for a while.

"Forget it, don't say it if you don't say it."

Chen Mu was too lazy to continue asking questions, so he walked to the door and gently hugged Shao Siming, and said lightly: "I'll ask Heiling to arrange it tonight and set off for Tianming Valley."

——

"Damn it!!"

In Fengyuan's palace, memorials and secret letters on the desk were thrown to the ground.

The queen mother in a golden phoenix robe was so beautiful that she was so beautiful that she was covered with a phoenix crown on her head, and the beads on her head were slightly shaken because of anger.

The palace maids and eunuchs in the hall were all kneeling on the ground, not daring to breathe for a moment.

Originally, the empress dowager looked in a good mood these two days, but after receiving a secret message from the secret guard, a fire suddenly started.

They rarely see the Queen Mother so angry.

When I was so angry last time, many officials fell to the ground, and everyone was uneasy.

"Get out!" the empress dowager said coldly.

As if the eunuchs and maids were granted a general amnesty, they all left the hall and closed the hall gate.

Only the personal female official who usually serves the queen mother.

The light in the hall dimmed, while the illumination pearls on the walls on both sides automatically illuminated slightly, intertwined like daylight.

"What the hell is this Gu Jianling doing!"

The empress dowager slapped the table and her chest was irritated. "At this time, we have to put on our own position so that everyone in the world knows what he is thinking when he stands opposite Chen Mu? Is he warning the Ai family?"

The secret guard Xiaoying, who showed his figure, looked at him silently without any consolation.

She understood the queen mother's anger.

The previous Dongzhou City incident made the empress dowager lose some face.

After all, Du Piwu, the prefect of Dongzhou, was protected by her, but she became a rebel against the world, which became a black spot for many officials to criticize the empress dowager.

Although everyone understands that letting Du Piwu remain the prefect of Dongzhou was a helpless move by the court.

But as the actual person in power, the Empress Dowager should shoulder this responsibility.

Secondly, the Empress Dowager must also take responsibility for the Dongzhou City Massacre incident.

Anyone who knows the inside story knows that 20,000 people were massacred as an order from the emperor to cover up some secrets.

But on the surface, this cannot be said.

The reason why the emperor "tolerates heartache" ordered the massacre of the people was to prevent the spread of the poison, otherwise it would have greater consequences.

So, Ji Min, the little emperor who was originally an executioner, was a savior hero.

But someone must be responsible for the death of more than 20,000 people.

So the only one who takes the blame is the Queen Mother.

If you hadn't been trying hard to ensure that Du Piwu continues to be the prefect, would Dongzhou be in chaos? If you hadn't been doing anything, would Prince Yun Zheng's conspiracy have emerged?

In any case, the source of all these sins lies in you, the Queen Mother!

Even some people who heard rumors chose to support the emperor and had a lot of complaints about the empress dowager.

Some radicals fanned the flames and said that the Queen Mother was a witch who was a disaster to the country.

In the court, because of the incident in the Dongzhou, officials from different factions secretly carried out another round of fierce dialectics and confrontation.

Although in the end, the power of the Elegant Democrats suppressed them with a strong attitude, there were many hidden dangers.

So at this time, the Empress Dowager urgently needs the support of the people around her.

However, at this critical moment, Gu Jianling, the commander of the Mingwei Du, was closest to and trusted, stabbed her secretly.

From the surface, Gu Jianling just didn't want to marry his adopted daughter Bai Xianyu to Chen Mu.

But you have to know that Chen Mu just won the title.

It is worth intriguing if you don’t lose your marriage sooner or later, but you only choose to break your marriage with Chen Mu at this critical moment.

Who previously proposed to be named Chen Mu?

It's the Queen Mother!

The Empress Dowager has made it clear to all officials that Chen Mu will be my person in the future and that he will be my trustworthy confidant. However, you, Gu Jianling, chose to stand opposite Chen Mu at this time. What did other officials think?
