After being a widow, the empress dowager was favored by the powerful ministers

Chapter 155 Negotiations
As the discussion between the two deepened and became more obvious, it was close to blatantly uttering a dozen or so words of "force the little emperor to write down an abdication edict to make King Xianjing".

Jian Jia even wanted to find a place to hide.

This is no matter how the overall situation is in control, at least this is in the palace, even though they are all belonged to the empress, at least they should restrain themselves and give some face to the officials, right?

In fact, the reason why Sheng Baoling and Pei Ci did not hesitate to talk about Jian Jia's presence was because the former trusted Jian Jia. Jian Jia grew up with her since she was a child, and even if she didn't trust others, she shouldn't. Jian Jia's.

As for the latter, the reason why Pei Ci trusted Jian Jia was because in her previous life, Jian Jia died for Sheng Baoling once, knowing that the medicine was poisonous and had to drink it under the circumstances, she resolutely died for Sheng Baoling.

So loyal, why not believe it.

At this time, the autumn clothes outside the hall are the real anxiety.

Before the end of the matter, she couldn't relax for a moment.

To put it bluntly, the Criminal Department and the Household Department are now under the control of the empress, and they are no longer the help of the little emperor. When Grand Master Lou has an accident, the little emperor will really become a puppet except for the few hidden guards around him.

Whether the puppet is dead or alive is actually completely in the Queen Mother's mind.

And perhaps what Mr. Pei doesn't know is that the empress has already controlled the overall situation, the entire palace is under the control of the empress, even if Grand Master Lou does not step down, kill the king, and the new emperor ascends the throne, as far as the empress is concerned, there is no need to expend any effort .

And the reason for such a meticulous arrangement is to allow His Royal Highness King Jing to ascend the throne in a clear and honest manner without having to bear the infamy of regicide.

I only hope that in the future, His Royal Highness Prince Jing will be able to treat his empress kindly when he ascends the throne.

...

On the same day, the little emperor came to Sheng Baoling's place, apparently knowing that Pei Ci had been there during the day.

On the one hand, it was because of Pei Ci itself, and on the other hand, it was because of Ping Lehou's case, which really touched Grand Master Lou.

The little emperor had to intervene.

"Why is the emperor here today?"

At this time, Sheng Baoling was eating, put down the bowl and chopsticks, picked up the handkerchief and gently wiped his mouth, looking at the little emperor.

With Sheng Baoling here, Jian Jia's previous fear was not much left now, and she knew in her heart that the officials could do nothing if her mother was here.

She can ask questions about her life.

Therefore, I murmured in my heart: I never pick a suitable time to come, every time I come when the empress is eating, every time I disturb the empress not to eat.

Could it be intentional?

Sheng Baoling didn't pay much attention to it. He ate more during the day, so it doesn't matter if he eats less now.

There was an obedient smile on the little emperor's face, "I heard that today's queen mother ordered Pei Xiang to come to discuss matters?"

Sheng Baoling nodded slightly, and took the tea that was handed over to rinse his mouth, "So, why, the emperor has something to ask?"

Sheng Baoling was so straightforward, but it gave the little emperor a chance to ask further questions, so he followed Sheng Baoling's words and asked, "I wonder what the empress discussed with Prime Minister Pei?"

Sheng Baoling smiled faintly, as if he was laughing at the emperor's impatience, and at the same time he was laughing at his majestic son, who was not concerned with the court and society, but was not worthy of virtue in these plots and calculations.

In this regard, I am even more disappointed with the little emperor, and even more disappointed with the late emperor.

The prince who has been cultivated so carefully is not as good as King Jing who was thrown outside and experienced the sufferings of the people since he was a child.

If the first emperor knew about it, I'm afraid that the corpses in the imperial mausoleum should be faked right now.

"I said something about Marquis Pingle, which involved several senior officials in the court, so Pei Qing came to Xun Ai's family to ask how to deal with it."

Sheng Baoling's words were half true and half false, making it impossible for the little emperor to fathom.

In the end, the little emperor could only settle the matter hastily, with a pair of dark eyes hiding deep meaning.

Like a beast hiding in the grass, waiting for the best time to bite into the delicious food in front of you, leaving no flesh and blood!
The little emperor's eyes seemed forbearing, but at this moment, almost everyone could notice it, especially Sheng Baoling.

As soon as Sheng Baoling noticed this from the little emperor, he couldn't help thinking about everything in the dream, thinking of the little emperor's methods of torturing himself, thinking of his eyes, that kind of almost morbid madness, and couldn't help feeling sick.

The little emperor's thin lips were slightly parted, and his voice was a bit chilly, "Next time, the queen mother should not worry about this kind of thing, my son will definitely take care of it."

If it was in the past, Sheng Baoling would naturally agree, the little emperor loved to worry, so he did.

What she is planning is the final result. As long as these things in this process do not affect the final result, she can let him go to make troubles for the smooth progress of the subsequent plan.

But today, Sheng Baoling colluded with Pei Ci and knew Pei Ci's thoughts and plans. Naturally, he had to take Pei Ci into consideration in everything.

So at this moment, he didn't plan on targeting the little emperor.

No matter how cold the little emperor's voice was, Sheng Baoling could be even worse. "This matter involves many high officials in the court, and the emperor is still young. I'm afraid these matters cannot be handled well."

It was the first time Sheng Baoling said these words, and Jian Jia and Qiu Yi were stunned for a while.

Qiu Yi froze for a moment, his face full of confusion, what happened to the Empress Dowager today?
On weekdays, no matter how dissatisfied with the officials, they will endure it, or they will change the topic, not discuss it in depth, and never refute it clearly.

But today's remarks can be said to directly offend the little emperor.

Jian Jia felt a burst of joy in her heart!
That's the way it is, otherwise, if the empress has so many powers in her hands, and if she suffers from something wronged and makes her feel unhappy, what are these powers going to do?

That's the way to do it. If there is any unpleasantness, let it all out, while the little emperor is still in power, right?

Otherwise, in the future, this will become His Royal Highness King Jing, and there is no chance yet.

The little emperor didn't even expect that Sheng Baoling would utter such rebuttals without saving any face, even using his age as an excuse.

His thin lips were tightly pursed, and his forehead was tensed, obviously enduring it.

The atmosphere suddenly became weird.

However, Sheng Baoling seemed to have the same attitude as usual, he didn't react too much, and he didn't dare to look directly at the little emperor because of what he said.

It was as if those words were just ordinary, innocuous words.

The little emperor gritted his teeth tightly, as if a ball of blood was about to burst out in his heart, but he had to hold it back.

He is too clear, right now, he has no punishment department, no household department, even the Lou family is in jeopardy, he has no real military power in his hands, and was controlled by Sheng Baoling in the past, and now he is not Sheng Baoling's opponent.

Right now is not a good time at all.

No matter what, he couldn't disobey Sheng Baoling, he had to pretend to be an obedient little emperor.

Thinking of this, the gloom in the little emperor's eyes dissipated, and he became docile again.
