"The matter of the lord's public service has been completed." Zuo You walked into the room and bowed. In Guo Shao's eyes, Zuo You still has many advantages, such as if he was asked to do something, he would take the initiative to report on the progress without Guo Shao's own concern.

Guo Shao gently placed the brush on the inkstone, then closed the booklet full of pages. His movements and expressions were not as elegant as the spirit, but they were very upright and calm, and his eyes had returned to the sharpness and gentleness of the past. At first, the emotions that overturned the teacup were out of control, the impulse had disappeared, and there was no sign of it.

He looked at Zuo You: "There is another thing that must be Mr. Zuo, and this time it may be separated for a while."

Zuo You bowed and said, "The lord told me to do it."

Guo Shao said: "You can set out sooner and go back to Beijing first."

Zuo You asked: "What should you do after returning to Beijing next time?"

Guo Shao said in a deep voice: "If the Empress Dowager summons Mr. Zuo and asks about the matter here, you can tell the truth."

Zuo You suddenly said, "I understand what I should do."

Guo Shao nodded. In such serious matters, it is really difficult for Zuo You to find a suitable candidate except Zuo You. Zuo You is also one of the planners of this incident. It would be better to let him go to Tokyo to communicate with the Queen Mother; at the same time, it would also allow Guo Shao to know the situation in Tokyo in time. If Guo Shao had not left the army himself, he would have wanted to go back first.

In addition to seeing Jinzhan, he was also worried that Fu Ermei and Li Yuaner should be short of their due date, and the Southern Tang Kingdom is still thousands of miles away from Tokyo.

Guo Shao stopped his mind and said softly: "You can tell the Empress Dowager specifically that I am determined not to change the country's name."

In this way, Fu Jinzhan is still the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and will not become the Empress Dowager of the previous dynasty overnight.

...

In the Tokyo Imperial City, Fu Jinzhan looked at the second sister's erect belly and said, "Look, many times, the second sister has to rely on the people of her parents to take care of you." The second sister curled her lips: "My husband goes out to fight for the country, and he has to put major issues first. I can't help, so I can't always make him worry and distract him."

"After all, it's a woman from the Fu family, knowing the general idea." Fu Jinzhan praised casually.

At this time, the Du Concubine Du and the palace wife next to him also followed him with a few words. Du Concubine was Du Chenggui's sister, and their father was also a military general of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After his death, the late emperor appointed his daughter as a concubine and asked his son to be a general in the inner palace to show his kindness. When the late emperor passed away, the concubines who had not given birth moved to the cold palace. Fu Jinzhan asked Du Concubine to be Chai Zongxun's adopted mother, so she was spared from the cold palace for such reasons. The palace wife was also the palace wife who was responsible for serving Chai Zongxun.

So Fu Jinzhan said, "Zongxun wants to greet the elders later. I want to talk to my sister for a while today, so I can't go there. Concubine Du asked Zongxun for me if he had gone to read and write."

Du agreed with a knee.

Unexpectedly, the palace woman next to her interrupted, "Empress Dowager, actually, Concubine Du doesn't really want to care about the emperor's affairs."

Du's face suddenly changed. Fu Jinzhan felt very uncomfortable, but she didn't show it. She just looked at the palace lady with a smile. The palace lady was stunned and said, "I shouldn't talk too much..."

Du glared at the palace lady, and his eyes seemed to have the heart to kill her. Du opened his mouth slightly, wanted to speak but stopped, and finally said, "I will say goodbye first, I will follow the order of the Queen Mother."

Fu Jinzhan seemed to be a little uneasy when she saw Du walking when she went out.

After the two people went out, Fu Ermei whispered: "Sister, what happened just now? I saw that they looked strange."

Fu Jinzhan said, "It's okay, second sister, please feel free to give birth to the baby and don't worry about those troublesome things."

Fu Ermei said innocently: "I think there are so many people in this palace."

Fu Jinzhan was unquestionable. Her current status and strength in the palace are actually no longer necessary to look at other people's faces, as long as others look at their faces... But Fu Jinzhan has been careful for many years before, and she knows too many things. She doesn't want to look at them, and she can tell at a glance.

After the Yellow River was rocked, the news that Guo Shao wanted to be emperor spread wildly in the palace; the people in the palace might not discuss military and national affairs, but who is the master here is a major event that everyone cares about. If Guo Shao became emperor, would Chai Zongxun still have a status? Although Du was Chai Zongxun's adopted mother, she probably was not willing to be together with a deposed little emperor, because Chai Zongxun was neither born to her nor had any feelings for her.

The palace lady was always with Du, and perhaps out of good intentions, she wanted to think about Du and alienate her relationship with Chai Zongxun... But the palace lady was really stupid. In this way, there was no silver here, and she didn't ask for advice and participated in the behind-the-scenes discussion. The empress dowager wanted to help Guo Shao take over the country and engage in escorts with his brother-in-law. (The lewd Fu served the three husbands, and the country was a wedding dress; the slaves responded outside the door, and the snake and wolf were both ungrateful.) Can Fu Jinzhan be happy?

No wonder Du's face suddenly turned like that just now. Du was obviously much more intelligent than the palace lady.

Fu Jinzhan was indeed very unhappy at this time, but not targeting Du Shi, but those rumors. Because it was obvious that the rumors were not just about Du Shi and others.

Fu Jinzhan is not a person who doesn’t want to be famous and has a good reputation, and he even cares more about this kind of thing than ordinary people. After all, it’s not only her, but also the reputation of the Fu family. What’s more, as a woman, who would be willing to bear the reputation of a “lutty woman”? Who can really not care about being scolded by others behind her back?

Even if she held it, the expression on her face was extremely unnatural, and there was no smile in her eyes. She knew that the matter with Guo Shao was true (at least the younger sister in front of her knew about it). She was very cautious in those few times, but she still couldn't stop the speculation of the world.

"Big sister..." Fu Ermei looked at her in surprise. The second sister might not have figured out what was going on for a while, but she is also a very careful person and can tell her sister's mood.

Fu Jinzhan held back her breath, showed a very forced smile on her face, and said a few casual words to Fu Ermei.

However, she was absent-minded and still distracted. Fu Jinzhan said in her heart: I am never mean to others, but I don’t really think of me well. She looked at Fu Ermei’s clumsy body and showed an undetectable sneer on the corner of her mouth: But those people can’t do it. Even if I am not the queen mother, the Fu family still can’t fall into it.

There is also the relationship between her and Guo Shao, which outsiders don’t know, but they have been tested by life and death, not just as simple as competing for favor... Perhaps all men will choose to make Fu Jinzhan eventually become a victim when facing Guo Shao’s situation, but Guo Shao will not.

She suppressed the humiliated anger in her heart and gradually calmed down: Everything is still under control, how can she lose her composure just because of the traitor's scolding?

At this time Fu Jinzhan said, "You are so happy to give birth to your child, and you often walk around. I still want to go over."

"Yes." Fu Ermei nodded obediently.

Fu Jinzhan came to the main hall of Wansui Hall. Before Chai Zongxun came, Du Fei was sitting on the chair beside him. When they saw Jinzhan coming, they hurriedly stood up from the chair and respectfully bowed their knees: "Greetings to the Queen Mother."

"No gift." Fu Jinzhan sat down on the soft couch above, gently brushed the sleeves of the robe, and sat upright. The women around him all faced her in awe.

Fu Jinzhan smiled on her face and looked at Du Fei and smiled: "Not long ago, the people from the Eunuchs and the Provincial People praised your brother in front of Ai's family, saying that General Du is quite wise, loyal to his duties, and is upright and honest. The Ai's family has not told you yet."

When Du Fei heard this, he hurriedly bowed and said, "I thank the Queen Mother for her praise. I can do what I am today, all my mercy and grace..." She said, she actually cried, "If the Queen Mother had not pity me, I would have spent the rest of my life in the cold palace. I will never forget the Queen Mother's kindness for three lives, and I must not have any distorted thoughts."

Fu Jinzhan advised kindly: "Why are you crying? Don't be afraid."

Du Shi choked and said, "The Empress Dowager is so good, I am not afraid of it. I am not too late to be grateful."

Fu Jinzhan nodded and said calmly and calmly: "That's it."

Du silently wiped away his tears, and the two stopped talking about the topic just now. After a while, Chai Zongxun was brought over by his wet nurse and the palace servant, and Fu Jinzhan talked to Chai Zongxun.

Not long after, Fu Jinzhan got up and left the main hall, and went to the bedroom to change clothes. Du ignored his identity as the concubine and called the retired maid and served the queen mother himself.

At this time Fu Jinzhan whispered: "Who is facing the Ai family? Can the Ai family still not know? Your ears are not always blocked. You can't blame you just because you hear something, right?"

Du immediately said, "I heard from Wang Cairen of Zide Hall that those comments were about. I should have reported to the Queen Mother in the main hall just now, but there were too many people there, and I was afraid that someone would blame me for telling me, and there would be trouble. So now I am reporting to the Queen Mother..."

"Oh, I know this person." Fu Jinzhan nodded quietly, "It was also a talented person given by the late emperor. He should have gone to the cold palace. Alas... Ai's family always has good intentions, and there are always people who don't appreciate it."

"Yes, yes." Du said hurriedly.

Fu Jinzhan changed her yellow robe and changed into a light red robe skirt. Now, the February Spring Envoy, this relatively relaxed dress can make her feel a little relaxed. She walked out of the screen and saw the eunuch Cao Tai standing at the door of the bedroom, and called out.

Cao Tai hurriedly ran in with the whisk. His hair was gray, but his hands and feet were still as quick as a young man in front of the empress dowager. Cao Tai bowed and said, "What are the instructions of the empress?"

Fu Jinzhan said: "Wang Cairen, who is in the Zide Hall, feels that he is too tired of staying in Zide Hall. She should have gone to Wanfu Palace and asked her to go now."
