Chapter 5 Empress Dowager and Wang Zhaoyi

"If you can really do this, the queen's position will never be hiss." The Empress Dowager took Wang Zhaoyi's hand holding her arm, gently patted the back of her hand and said.

"Auntie, Yuer heard that the emperor had recovered and went to the morning early in the morning, so she came to tell you the news." Wang Zhaoyi said to the Empress Dowager with a smile.

"Real?" The Empress Dowager still answered softly with an indifferent expression.

"Really, aunt, you said that the emperor's illness will come and go. Well, it will all be cured so soon." Wang Zhaoyi took the comb put aside by the empress dowager and combed her hair for the empress dowager herself.

Hearing Wang Zhaoyi's words, a flash of light flashed in the empress dowager's eyes, but her face was still calm. She just said, "The emperor is the son of heaven. He has the protection of heaven and his ancestors. Naturally, he will turn evil into good luck, and it won't be a big problem."

At this moment, she is a little uneasy. Wang Zhaoyi's words reminded her that Beichenye had been ill for three years since she ascended the throne. This time, she suddenly fell ill. I'm afraid it was a little strange, especially today, when the disease recovered without warning, and she went to the early morning...

The more the Empress Dowager thought about it, the more wrong it became, so she attracted the father-in-law who was serving beside her and ordered, "Little He, go and find out what the emperor did in the morning today."

"I obeyed." Grandpa He immediately took the order and withdrew from the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

Wang Zhaoyi carefully combed the empress dowager's head. She asked the empress dowager doubtfully, "Auntie, did you ask Grandpa He to find out what the emperor did in the morning today? There must be nothing serious in the court supported by my father, several brothers and my father's students, as well as the families who support our royal family.

"Although the Wang family has deep roots and can't make any problems, don't underestimate the emperor. I feel that the emperor's illness is strange. On this day that has been calm for more than three years, it seems that something will change again." The Empress Dowager motioned Wang Zhaoyi and the maid next to her to help her up.

Wang Zhaoyi hurriedly helped the Empress Dowager to the small table with the maids of honor. There were already more than a dozen light breakfasts on the table.

"You came to Ai's house early in the morning. I'm afraid you haven't had breakfast yet. Let's have some breakfast here today." The Empress Dowager said.

Before taking a few bites of the breakfast, I saw Grandpa He walk into the inner room of the Empress Dowager's bedroom with sweat. A string of sweat appeared on his forehead. As soon as he saw the Empress Dowager, he immediately shouted, "Empress Dowager!"

As soon as the Empress Dowager saw this appearance, she knew that it must be a good result that she had asked him to inquire about just now.

The Empress Dowager waved her hand and said to the maids around her, "You go down first. Wang Zhaoyi and Euke He are here to serve you."

The maids blessed the Empress Dowager and filed out of the inner room of the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

"Little Hezi, say it quickly, but what happened in the early morning?" As soon as the maids left, the Empress Dowager immediately asked Grandpa He.

"Empress dowager, it's not a big deal. Today, the emperor suddenly recovered from his illness and went to the morning. But Lord Wang Qiyuan, the third son of the Ministry of the Left's family, and Lord Li Jin, the son-in-law of the left prime minister, General Li Jin, did not go to the morning according to the ancestral system today. The right prime minister asked the emperor to punish them as a warning, and said that he would follow The crime committed by the king of law and General Li will be dismissed, and if the crime is serious, he will be executed immediately!" Grandpa He lowered his voice and eagerly reported to the empress dowager.

"What!" Wang Zhaoyi, who was sitting next to the empress dowager, immediately screamed when she heard the words. So how are my third brother and brother-in-law now? What did the emperor say?

Although the Empress Dowager's face was still calm, her hands in her sleeves involuntarily tightened the handkerchief in her hand. The Empress Dowager didn't care to scold Wang Zhaoyi for shouting that it was a loss of royal prestige. She just looked at Grandpa He with sharp eyes and said in a low voice, "Continue to tell the family the original original information you have found!"

"Yes, the old slave obeys the order." Eunuch He did not dare to hide anything, so he continued to say, "Although the right prime minister asked the emperor to severely punish Wang Shilang and General Li who did not come to the early morning in violation of the ancestral system, the emperor thought about the relationship between Zuo Xiang and Wang Shilang and General Li, so he only dismissed the official positions of Wang Shilang and General Li and ordered them to go home to reflect."

After listening to the news from Grandpa He, the Empress Dowager has thought about the whole matter carefully in her heart. She has been operating in this palace for more than ten years, and there have been many strong winds and waves. At this moment, she has made it clear that today's matter was secretly set up by Beichen Yeli to wait for the Wang family to come. Wang Qiyuan and Li Jin did not come to the early morning, so they were also scheduled to be inseparable from Beichen Night. However, she also knew that although the Wang family damaged two new generation officials in the court this time, it did not hurt their muscles and bones. However, although the positions of these two people are not the most important in the court, they inadvertently play a role of four or two thousand pounds. Now Beichen Yeli has taken these two positions from the Wang family, and the factions in the court I'm afraid we have to fight for these two positions. I don't know who will spend these two positions in the end.

The Empress Dowager lowered her eyelashes without a trace, covering the cold light at the bottom of her eyes, and her heart was deeply hated. Beichen Yeli's move to watch the tiger fight across the mountain. It seems that she wanted to use these two positions to attract various factions to compete with each other. He only waited for the vitality of the crowd to fight to receive the interests of the fishermen!

The Empress Dowager silently thought about the pros and cons of the whole incident, but Wang Zhaoyi couldn't sit still and walked around the house anxiously. She couldn't wait to see her brother and brother-in-law immediately. She asked them how they were so confused and dared not go to the morning because of the emperor's illness. Did they really have the courage to borrow from heaven? ?!

What will she do? Are you going to ask the emperor to take back his order and restore his brother and brother-in-law? But the emperor's attitude towards her is always lull. Will he be hated by the emperor if he goes to ask the emperor this time? Wang Zhaoyi was a little uncertain for a moment.

"Auntie, what do you think we should do? Do you want to beg the emperor? After all, our royal family has made great contributions to the throne. He can't be so ruthless!" Wang Zhaoyi took the Empress Dowager's hand and said in a panic.

"Absolutely not!" The Empress Dowager grabbed Wang Zhaoyi and said in a low voice, "Now none of us can ask the emperor for this matter!" It must be regarded as if this has never happened, and I feel sorry for you and don't know anything!"

"Auntie! But we can't watch my third brother and brother-in-law be dismissed, which is too embarrassing for our Wang family!"

"My family has said so. Why don't you understand whether it's a serious shame or a serious loss of life!" The Empress Dowager said righteously, "Are you going to ask the emperor? I'm afraid the emperor is waiting for you to hit the muzzle at this moment! If there is no acquiescence in this matter, do you think the Wang family will fall into the hands of the right-wing party so easily?!"

"Aunt...Your Majesty... He... He..." Wang Zhaoyi was so shocked that she couldn't speak. She was the eldest daughter of the family. She was noble and extremely beautiful. She was regarded by her father as the apple of her eye and spoiled in every way since she was a child. At the age of 14, she accidentally met Beichen Yeli, who came to find her father to discuss political affairs. From then on, she fell in love with this handsome but ruthless man. Beichen Yeli ascended the throne with the help of the royal family. She also successfully entered the palace with the help of her father and aunt and became a noble person beside Beichen Yeli. Originally, she thought that with her beauty, she would definitely be able to ascend the throne. When the harem was empty, she would get the favor of Beichen Yeli before other women. In the future Become his queen and share the supreme glory with him.

But this beautiful dream was finally shattered in front of reality. Three years ago, she made a mistake and became a long-lasting hatred, but now she has only barely got a position of Zhaoyi with the help of her aunt and father. Today, after listening to her aunt's words, her heart suddenly became cold and it was difficult to accept this cruel reality.

"Yuer, you are too young and too simple after all." The Empress Dowager sighed softly and regretted how she had agreed to send her brother Zuo Xiang to the palace.

There are crises hidden everywhere in this deep palace. If she is as reckless as Yuer, she will protect her for three years, but she may not be able to protect her for the rest of her life. If the Wang family wants to occupy a place in this harem, I'm afraid they will find another way.

"Aunt..." Wang Zhaoyi called the Empress Dowager softly.

"Well, I'm tired today. You can take your eunuchs to the meeting first. Remember that you can only think that what Xiao Hezi said today has not been heard and nothing has happened. You can't beg the emperor, and you can't let him know what happened in the early morning today. The Empress Dowager stretched out her excellent slenderness and softness, slightly rubbed her forehead, and carefully told Wang Zhaoyi in a plain tone, which made Eunuch He lead Wang Zhaoyi out of the Cining Palace.

Wang Zhaoyi was in chaos at this time, so she had to write down the instructions of the Empress Dowager carefully, then blessed the Empress Dowager, followed Duke He out of the Cining Palace, and led her many eunuchs back to her bedroom.

Eunuch He sent Wang Zhaoyi away and led a group of maids quietly into the inner room of Cining Palace.

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes and quietly closed her eyes to refresh herself. At this moment, she had a new plan in her heart. It seemed that it was time for her brother Wang to choose a suitable candidate to enter the palace. In this way, one can help Yuer, and the other can also attract the attention of part of the emperor to prevent the forces of other factions in the court from penetrating into the harem.

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager opened her eyes and called Eunuch He to come to her, which made him listen and gently told him to find an opportunity to inform the left of his plan.

I hope that the left prime minister can really send herself a good helper to enter the palace this time, the Empress Dowager secretly thought.
