She felt that there was a lot of articles in her intuition, but when she asked the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother was so secretive.

In order to avenge the humiliation that night, she agreed to the Queen Mother's plan without hesitation, so the scene of Lan Lingling being poisoned after eating pastries.

Concubine Xiao was filled with emotion. I have to say that her aunt was so powerful that she could find a loophole for this witch.

I don’t know what my aunt is going to do, but once her plan is successful, she begs her to let the witch tear her out of pieces.

Thinking of this, she grinned: "Take it away!"

The Si kitchen returned to silence, and the traces of Lan Lingling's existence were completely cleaned up, as if she had never been to the future.

Just after Emperor Wu of Yuan finished several copies, Eunuch Lu hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty, Miss Lingling is gone!"

Emperor Yuanwu was shocked: "Didn't go out?"

Eunuch Lu shook his head: "The people below came to report, but no Miss Lingling left the palace."

A complex and indescribable emotion flashed through Emperor Yuanwu's eyes, as if happy and as if incredible.

He said, "Have you found the Si kitchen?"

Lu said, "The person you sent to protect the Lingling girl did not see Lingling leave the palace, so he immediately went to the Si kitchen to look for it, but Lingling girl was not in the Si kitchen at all. However, they saw that there was a plate of freshly steamed mung bean cake missing two pieces in the Si kitchen."

Emperor Yuanwu put down his pen with a "slap" and couldn't help feeling a little panicked.

He confirmed that Zhizhi left in anger and would go to the Qi Palace to report today's incident, but he did not expect that until this time, his people did not see Zhizhi leaving the palace.

The kitchen has strict rules and is not allowed to move food without permission. Apart from Zhizhi, he really can't find anyone who dares to do such a thing.

However, according to his understanding of Zhizhi, even if Zhizhi gets angry, he will not stop eating only two pieces.

What caused her to give up her beloved pastry and leave the kitchen?

After all, I was too self-righteous and thought that Zhizhi would definitely leave the palace, so I didn’t always pay attention to Zhizhi’s movements.

Just as Emperor Yuanwu was in deep thought, Chunxi's aunt Yingying walked in and saluted her. "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is invited, and you also ask Your Majesty to go to Qingning Palace immediately."

Emperor Wu of Yuan pretended to be calm and said indifferently: "I will go after the approval."

Aunt Chunxi's tone was undeniable: "Your Majesty, you can wait, I'm afraid that the girl can't wait."

Emperor Yuanwu's expression changed and he hurried to Qingning Palace.

The Empress Dowager was lying on the chaise longue, supporting her head with one hand, half-closing her eyes, and leisurely placing her with the other hand. The palace maid was applying danmu to her neatly trimmed nails and pasting them with beautiful gold foil.

She seemed to have changed.

But I can't tell what's wrong.

"Son of my son meets with my mother." Emperor Yuanwu bowed on one knee.

The Empress Dowager slowly lifted her eyelids, glanced at her son, and said in a low tone: "On the second day of the Lunar New Year, you, the son who should have been filial to the Ai family, don't even have a reunion dinner with the Ai family. If you want to see you, you have to tie up the girl from the barbarian land. Emperor, are you sarcastic? "

Emperor Yuanwu knelt down and his voice was almost begging: "Mother, she is my beloved person."

The Queen Mother sneered: "My beloved person? I am your mother! Now even a wild woman has gone over Ai's house, which is ridiculous."

Emperor Yuanwu's posture became lower and lower: "Mother, my son begs you..."

The Empress Dowager asked, "What identity do you have to ask the Ai family? The king of a country or the son of the Ai family?"

Emperor Yuanwu slowly raised his eyes: "My mother?"

The Queen Mother blew the Danko, who had not yet dried, and suddenly laughed: "Emperor, the Ai family is your closest person, but now anyone can ride onto the Ai family. Since it is in your heart, the Ai family is so insignificant, so the Ai family does not demand that you be a filial son."

Emperor Yuanwu's head was completely raised. He looked at the empress dowager and asked word by word: "Mother, what do you want to do?"

The Empress Dowager made a gesture to Aunt Chunxi: "Make a cup of good tea for the emperor, and the Ai family wants to tell the emperor what he is thinking."

She turned her head and said to Emperor Yuanwu: "Get up, the words are a bit long, I'm afraid you can't kneel down."

Emperor Yuanwu stood up and sat on the chair, waiting for the empress dowager to speak.

The Empress Dowager didn't keep it a secret and went straight to the point: "The Ai family already knows about Yu Yin. He not only makes a deal with you, but also makes a deal with the Ai family under the same conditions."

Emperor Yuanwu's expression moved slightly, but he did not speak.

The empress dowager smiled and smiled. The face of the empress dowager implicitly mocked: "You deliberately left the savage man to let her go to the Qi Palace to report the news? Emperor, you are born in the Ai family. The Ai family knows you so much."

"You don't believe that Yu Yin has money, but you want to know what Yu Yin is going to do, so you pretend to be fooled."

"You want King Qi to cooperate with you in this drama, so you deliberately left the savage man and wanted her to inform you so that you can cooperate with King Qi and make a false deal with Yu Yin."

"It's a pity that the barbarian is devoted to you and cannot understand your intentions at all. Instead, he stays in the palace and does not leave, which gives the Ai family an opportunity to take advantage of."

"Emperor, the Ai family has to criticize you. Sacrifice Xiao Qian as a bastard to get the truth you want. Why do you have to try your best to make any tricks?"

"You value King Qi so much, and even a small beast related to him must protect him. So does he value you? In this world, you should not believe anyone except the Ai family."

Emperor Yuanwu clenched his fists, but his face remained silent. He stared at his mother tightly and asked her: "My mother, who is that person?"

The Queen Mother chuckled: "Who is it? Why don't the Ai family know?"

Emperor Yuanwu's eyes were bright: "Who is it, who is urging you behind the scenes?!"

The Empress Dowager was calm: "Who can command the Ai family? Naturally, the Ai family figured it out. She had cared too much about you before, so she was blinded by the mother's love."

Emperor Wu of Yuan didn't believe it. If no one helped him, how could the queen know her thoughts well?

How could I know that I didn’t use Xiao Qian to exchange for the so-called more than 5 million silver at the beginning?

If no one is instructed, how could she catch Zhizhi?

Behind this, there must be someone who will give her advice.

Emperor Yuanwu's voice seemed to have quenched ice: "Mother, you have to think clearly that this person can instigate you to do such a thing, how can you know that Yu Yin was not his instructing him? He did this to harm his son and Daqin!"

The Empress Dowager was still calm and composed: "I said it to you, no one urged you. Emperor, your suspicion is too serious."

Emperor Yuanwu glanced at the Empress Dowager deeply, and his helplessness and disappointment were intertwined, which made him almost breathless: "Mother, how can you release Lingling?"

The corners of the empress dowager's lips were raised high, and her eyebrows that were flying into her temples seemed to show off her achievements.

She slowly spoke: "Emperor, don't blame the Ai family for being radical. It's really because the Ai family doesn't want to see their son getting deeper and deeper, and finally being deceived by the most people has nothing. You are the son of the Ai family. How could the Ai family harm you?"

"The Ai family does what you cannot do for you, and the Ai family does it for you. There are some things you cannot see clearly in the situation, so the Ai family will see it for you. All the Ai family does are for you, and the only son of the Ai family."

Emperor Yuanwu's eyes were red. For some reason, he spoke, his voice was terrifying: "Mother, what do you want?"

The Empress Dowager sat upright slowly and looked far away, because she looked too far away and looked arrogant.

She spoke and said three conditions: "First, arrest Xiao Qian's wild man and take it to deal with Yu Yin; secondly, release your grandfather and Yu Zhen, and let them all take their place; finally, immediately reunite with the imperial concubine."
