Under the arrangement of the Shadow Guard, the Empress Dowager returned to the capital at an extremely fast speed.

Although he has been missing for many days, under the clever concealment of the female official in Fengyuan Palace, not many officials noticed the abnormality.

I only know that the Queen Mother is in a state of peace these days and needs rest.

Even if some officials were suspected, they were blocked outside the palace and could not be confirmed. However, occasionally they could glimpse the empress dowager's figure flashed and slapped their suspicion.

During this period, Gu Jianling, the commander of Du Ming Gu, came once and was summoned.

When he left, Gu Jianling was very angry, and seemed to have a fight with the Queen Mother, and he was holding some torn documents in his hand.

After he left, there was also a sound of desks being overturned in his bedroom.

After returning to the mansion, the guards outside the door accidentally heard Gu Jianling say that the empress dowager is too stubborn and should not be like this.

These were learned by other officials, and they believed that the Empress Dowager was really recuperating.

In short, there is a lot of fog.

Even the little emperor was a little confused.

I remember when I returned to Beijing that day, the Ying Guard told him that the Empress Dowager had secretly returned to the capital due to some injuries and told him not to continue searching.

Although the little emperor did not believe it, he even came to Fengyuan Palace to look for the empress dowager several times and was rejected.

But seeing the atmosphere inside and outside Fengyuan Palace, it seemed that the empress dowager was indeed recovering from her injuries. She was full of suspicion for a moment and it was difficult to make a judgment.

But as time went by, he gradually realized that the empress dowager was probably not in the palace.

In particular, he handled some important affairs in the North Korea and Central China tentatively.

He also sent someone to monitor the courtyard of Chen Mu's mistress Meng Yanqing, removed Zhang Awei's position, and issued an order to take back some of Chen Mu's extra positions.

After doing so much crossing the line, the Queen Mother never came forward to stop her.

This made Ji Min even more confirm the conjecture.

The suspicious officials who were suppressed continued to think about it again, and rumors spread throughout the court.

Some officials from the Empress Dowager faction even took the initiative to show kindness to the emperor.

After feeling the center of power slowly moving closer to oneself, it is undoubtedly worth being excited about an emperor who has been in the shadow of the empress dowager for many years.

But deep in the heart of the little emperor, he also had a contradictory concern for the situation of the empress dowager.

After all... that woman is very important in his heart.

Heavy enough to disdain other women.

Even the scenic Suzaku Envoy, or Lu Wuyi, who has a talented and outstanding family background... she is not as good as the woman's hair in her heart.

So he hopes that the other party is really in the palace.

Under this contradictory mentality, Ji Min went to Fengyuan Palace several times to verify. Although his attitude was worse than that of the time, he was still stopped by the female official.

Until today, officials from several factions in the court came to make a tactful request.

They hope to use the emperor to confirm the situation of the empress dowager.

If something happened to the empress dowager, such as being seriously ill and coma, they would prepare in advance, and help the emperor consolidate his power while suppressing other factions.

Emperor Ji Min hesitated.

Looking back on the past, he finally made a decision in his heart.

Even if the Empress Dowager is not in the palace, there should be no accident. He can take advantage of these rare gaps to expand his power.

Even if the Empress Dowager returns, he will have enough ability to wrestle his wrists.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has been recuperating for many days, and the affairs in the court are tiring. If this continues, big problems will arise sooner or later."

"Yes, Your Majesty, what kind of illness did the Empress Dowager have? At least we should have the right to know."

"Your Majesty, you have the final say in this court."

“…”

In the Golden Palace, several core faction officials persuaded each other.

They understood that the time had come, and they either tactfully or speak frankly, hoping that Ji Min could show his courage and reverse the situation of the empress dowager's rule in one fell swoop.

This is a good opportunity given by God and cannot be missed.

Emperor Ji Min stared at the memorial that was as tired as a hill on the table, unconsciously rubbing the armrests of the dragon chair with his fingertips, his eyes flashing and dark.

He picked up the pen and wanted to write something, but he found that the ink ink on the inkstone was a little thick and dry, and said casually: "Rong"

As soon as he spoke, he suddenly remembered that Eunuch Rong had been killed by Chen Mu.

Looking back on the unforgettable scene that day, the little emperor's violent emotions ignited the flames in his chest again. He held the pen tightly, and his face became distorted.

Bang!

He threw the pen to the ground, stood up and said, "Go to Fengyuan Palace!"

The officials were overjoyed.

...

When he came to Fengyuan Palace in a mighty manner, there were still female officials blocking him.

Seeing the emperor coming, the female guards hurriedly knelt on the ground to stop each other: "Your Majesty, please stay. The Empress Dowager is in good health and is inconvenient to meet."

An official scolded: "We have important official duties to report to the Empress Dowager. If we delay the important matter, can you afford it?"

The female official is neither humble nor arrogant: "I'm sorry, sirs, the empress dowager said that if there is any urgent matter, she can leave a memorial, and she will review it. Now she is in poor health and really cannot meet you. Please forgive me."

"Hmph, we have handed all the memorandums, but now there is no reply, which makes us doubt... if you imprisoned the Empress Dowager!"

The forefront of the rich-looking official shouted loudly and directly threw the charge on the female official.

As soon as this statement was made, other officials agreed.

"That's right, I haven't let me wait for the Empress Dowager for so many days. It's obvious that there is a ghost. Let me get out of here as soon as possible, otherwise you won't be able to afford it!"

"Bold maid, if the Queen Mother has three strengths and two weaknesses, she will definitely kill your nine clans!"

"Did you hear it, don't let go!"

“…”

Faced with the aggressiveness of the officials, the female official still showed a calm expression and replied to the words just now.

Emperor Ji Min looked at him coldly and did not speak.

Silence means support.

With the support of the emperor, the officials became more and more intense and began to push and shovate.

The female official quickly signaled the guards to stop him and shouted: "Sir, do you know what you are doing? It has disturbed the Queen Mother's resting, and I regret it when the time comes!"

"Go to your code!"

At this time, an emotional official suddenly grabbed a vase next to him and slapped it hard on the female official's head.

Hurry!

The vase is split into pieces.

The sharp porcelain piece cut through the female official's forehead and blood gushed out.

The official was stunned for a moment, then shouted angrily: "A group of thieves, it is clear that you imprisoned the Queen Mother with the intention of disrupting my great-sex kingdom! Come and arrest them all!"

Seeing this, the guards who followed the emperor rushed forward and wanted to draw their swords to capture them.

Several officials even rolled up their sleeves and squeezed over.

The scene fell into chaos for a moment.

"presumptuous!"

At this moment, a majestic shout suddenly rang in the bedroom.

The noisy door became quiet instantly.

Hearing this familiar voice, the officials were stunned at first, and then they were stunned, and cold sweat began to appear on their foreheads, and they had a bad premonition.

The little emperor's pupils were like needles, and he suddenly raised his head and stared at the bedroom.

His body began to tremble.

Until the familiar figure appeared in sight, Ji Min's brain buzzed, her forehead was bulging, and her hands were holding the dragon robe tightly.

How... possible!

Ji Min couldn't believe his eyes at all.

Could it be that the Queen Mother is really in the palace these days?

When the officials saw the Queen Mother appearing in front of him, their faces were so scared that they turned pale, as if they were drawn away from blood, with a look of ghosts.

The next second, they all trembled and knelt on the ground.

"I bow to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will be thousands of years old."
