Chapter 4 The Empress Dowager's Chip
Since the rebellion of the Wang family, the underground passage of Jinghu has been ordered to be blocked at the first time, so only the carriage of Dugufeng is running quietly under Jinghu alone.
The carriage drove through the underground passage of Mirror Lake for about half an hour and finally got out of the passage.
Out of the channel, Dugufeng took out a token and shook it in front of the guards. The guards immediately let it go. Hu Yimeng and Dugufeng quickly passed through the gate and entered the imperial capital city.
At this moment, all the shops in the streets and alleys of the imperial capital are closed, and the people are all hiding in their homes. There was no one wandering over the street, only a team of guards patrolling back and forth. Hu Yimeng felt that the atmosphere in the imperial capital was very depressing now, and she could already foresee what the situation would be like in the palace at this moment.
Like at the exit of the underground passage, the current guards of the palace let them in as soon as they saw the token in Dugufeng's hand and let them in.
The lonely carriage stopped directly in front of the gate of Cining Palace, where the Empress Dowager lived.
"It's here." The driver reported the lonely wind in the carriage.
"I know." Dugufeng looked at Hu Yimeng, "Do you want me to take you in or do you want me to untie your acupuncture point and go in with me?"
"Open my acupuncture point and I'll go by myself." Hu Yimeng said lightly.
Returning to this magnificent cage after three years, Hu Yimeng felt that everything was like a dream.
But now is not the time for her to sigh. She must fight 120,000 points, and there are two of her enemies who are staring at her!
Dugufeng untied the acupuncture point on Hu Yimeng's body.
Hu Yimeng rubbed her stiff legs and arms, stood up slowly in the carriage, bent down and lifted the curtain and got off the car.
Hu Yimeng and Dugufeng got off the carriage, and the eunuch general He, the eunuch beside the Empress Dowager, walked to the two. He looked at Hu Yimeng with three triangular eyes, and his well-maintained white and feminine face showed a sneer, "Empress Huifei, I wonder how have been these three years? The Empress Dowager and Princess Shu miss you all the time.
Hu Yimeng glanced at Grandpa He, and the expression on his face was cold, showing joy and anger.
"Fath-in-law, the empress dowager is still waiting. Please lead the way." Du Gufeng obviously didn't like this treacherous and insidious old eunuch. He said to Eunuch He with a blank face.
"Hmm!" Grandpa He snorted coldly. Naturally, he knew that the Empress Dowager was waiting to see Hu Yimeng. He just wanted to show Hu Yimeng a little face, and did not dare to really embarrass her behind his back. Eunuch He no longer delayed the world, so as not to be blamed by the Empress Dowager. He couldn't get rid of his business, so he had to hold his breath and lead Hu Yimeng and Dugufeng into the hall of Cining Palace.
In the hall of Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager sat on the main seat, holding a string of topaz Buddha beads in her hand. In the center of the hall was a golden incense burner, and the best sandalwood was burned in the incense burner. The Empress Dowager was dressed in a jujube red phoenix palace costume, and her face was ruddy, which was not much different from three years ago.
On the chair on the right of the Empress Dowager's hand, Concubine Shu, dressed in a bright yellow palace costume, was tasting tea.
Compared with three years ago, Shufei was much thinner. Her cheekbones protrud high and her eyes were dark. Compared with Hu Yimeng's extraordinary appearance when she first saw her in Cining Palace, she seemed to have changed into a person. Now there are only resentment and meanness left.
When the two saw Dugufeng coming in with Hu Yimeng, they immediately raised their heads and looked at Hu Yimeng with burning eyes.
Hu Yimeng looked at the two without fear, "Empress Dowager, I haven't seen you for a long time. I don't know why you came to me today?"
"B bitch! You bitch!" Seeing that Hu Yimeng not only was not dead, but also seemed to be alive well, Concubine suddenly went crazy, looked ferocious, and wanted to rush to Hu Yimeng.
M Mother, who was beside Shufei, hurriedly grabbed Shufei and shook her head anxiously, signaling her not to act rashly.
Hu Yimeng raised her eyebrows and looked at her excited expression. She couldn't wait to swallow the ordinary Concubine alive. She quickly turned her face and continued to look at the empress dowager with a normal expression and even a slight smile. She knows that the empress dowager is the really powerful role. She should be careful of the empress dowager, not the concubine who is already a little crazy.
"Fe Concubine Hui, I didn't expect you to be still alive. In the fire of Ganquan Palace, everyone thought you couldn't live. Unexpectedly, it was just a blindfold for you to escape from here." The Empress Dowager stood up and walked slowly to Hu Yimeng, "Are you a human or a demon?" Such a big fire won't kill you."
"Do you think I'm a human or a demon?" Hu Yimeng looked directly at the Empress Dowager's shrewd eyes, did not give in, and said lightly.
"Yes, whether you are a human or a demon, it doesn't matter now." The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "You are neither a human nor a demon in the hands of the mourning family. You are just a pawn, a pawn that can let the Wang family deal with Beichen Yeli."
"Is the Empress Dowager sure that I will be a pawn in the hands of the Wang family to deal with Ye Li? Mother, you should know that no one in the world can force me to do anything I don't want to do. In those years, I could escape from the night with a fire, and now I can escape from you in other ways. Hu Yimeng smiled coldly.
"You won't escape." The Empress Dowager smiled confidently, "Come on! Bring them all up!" As soon as the Empress Dowager clapped her hands, a team of bodyguards pressed a palace-dressed woman and several officials in imperial uniforms into the hall.
Hu Yimeng stared and saw that the woman escorted by the bodyguards was Chu Hanyan, who had helped her in those years. And several other officials have also had several relationships. Among them, the one with gray hair and wounds on his face was escorted by the bodyguards, but the old man who was still upright was Ling Xiao's grandfather, General Ling! And the tall and thin man who is full of books but upright is not the right superior official! As for the other ministers, they are also young officials who are highly trusted by Beichen Yeli!
"Does the Empress Dowager want to threaten me with several adults and Chu Zhaoyi?" Hu Yimeng asked the Empress Dowager in a cold voice.
It seems that the whole palace, the whole court, and the whole imperial capital have been completely controlled by the Wang family. This time, the Wang family is holding the mentality of breaking the fish dead net and fighting to the death. Beichen Yeli carried out the final battle, and the king defeat is only in this move!
"If Concubine Hui insists on this understanding, it's okay. I just don't want Concubine Hui to do anything impulsively. I know that you are the heart of Beichen Yeli. He is willing to do anything for you, but I don't know what choice he will make between the country and the beauty. Isn't Huifei curious?" The Empress Dowager still looked at Hu Yimeng with a cold face.
