Chapter 11

Just when Lan Yao and Feng Jin were testing each other, suddenly there was a loud voice from outside the door: "The Queen Mother is here!"

Seeing the empress dowager, who was over half a century old, enter the palace aggressively, she was furious as she approached Lan Yao: "Ning Shu, does the matter of Qi Ziyang have anything to do with you?"

Lan Yao nodded in confusion, and explained hesitantly: "Forget it, queen mother, don't get angry—"

"Don't get angry? Ning Shu, look at what you have done. Qi Ziyang is dead, and the Prime Minister will definitely not let it go!"

The Empress Dowager is obviously strong-tempered, and at this moment, she doesn't care about her own image, and directly scolds the female tyrant who is avoided by others:
"It's not enough for you to hurt Yi'er once, do you want to push him into the abyss again?"

"In the past year, the Ai family has advised you so many times. How have you listened to it once? Now your name as a female tyrant is resounding all over the world. The foundation laid down by the late emperor, like you, continues to behave recklessly and kill innocent people indiscriminately. Can you still hold it?"

Although Lan Yao's memory is full of how this once favored concubine Qi became the empress dowager, and she spoke coldly to Ning Shu, but she couldn't help but be unable to react to such an intense scene.

The Qi family is an aristocratic family, and the prime minister Qi Yuming and the current queen mother are brothers and sisters. If Ning Shu hadn't ruined Jing Wang Ningyi's qualifications to compete for the crown prince, Qi Yuming, who had a deep plan, would not have turned to Ning Shu. your Highness.

Although the Empress Dowager loved her daughter Ning Shu in the past, she still couldn't compare her regard to the talented Ning Yi.

Now the brother-sister relationship and the mother-daughter relationship have become tense because of Ning Shu's willful behavior. If it weren't for Ning Shu, who became Her Majesty the Empress, she would definitely not be able to bear such scolding.

Sure enough, the Qi family was moved, those who should have come and those who shouldn't have come will all rush forward this time!
"Ning Shu, do you still have the queen mother of the Ai family in your eyes? Are you really going to force the Ai family to death?"

She is eager to love her son, and she hates Ning Shu, the once pampered daughter, and the Queen Mother Qi Xin who is so weak. Immediately, she is about to be impulsive and slaps Lan Yao who has no room to explain—

It was too late to say it, but the empress dowager, who was extremely stubborn, was grabbed by the wrist by Feng Jin, who reacted more quickly, and warned in a cold voice: "Empress dowager, don't forget, you are hitting the current majesty!"

Feng Jin's sudden defense, as well as the somewhat cold voice in the banter, made Empress Dowager Qi Xin feel a little guilty, and her anger subsided for a while.

Looking at the whole world now, there are only two or three people who can reach the realm of freedom in martial arts.

Now the strength of this empress can be regarded as unrivaled in the world, and she must not be underestimated.

Lan Yao was also a little surprised by Feng Jin, the Shura devil's sudden overtures.

After all, just now he was full of doubts and did not hesitate to force him. The matter of the Qi family involves a lot. Before that, even Ning Shu did not dare to easily shake the deep-rooted family in the court, so he secretly arranged and took the opportunity Provoke the struggle between civil servants and military generals, divide and rule, so as to quickly centralize power.

The atmosphere froze for a moment, and Lan Yao had no feelings for Qi Xin, the Queen Mother who favored Jing Wang Ning Yi, so she quickly saluted solemnly and said solemnly:

"Queen Mother, I will always keep your words in my heart. I will take care of the Qi family's affairs and my brother's affairs."

If it had been normal, Ning Shu would have been furious after hearing this reprimand, but Lan Yao, who now occupies the position of Her Majesty the Empress, didn't care about the harshness of the words, instead she firmly promised:
"This big announcement, I can keep it, and I won't let you down again!"

The rich and graceful queen mother was stunned in disbelief. Lan Yao nodded her head slightly to express her gratitude to Feng Jin. At this moment, Meng Shuang, who came in hastily after receiving the news, reported:
"Your Majesty, it's not good. The prime minister's son, Qi Ziyang, died in Ruyilou. After leaving the court this morning, the prime minister took a group of officials from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to King Jing's Mansion, saying that he wanted to arrest the culprit, Miss Ye. Qingli will be arrested and brought to justice."

"But His Royal Highness King Jing said that there is no real evidence, and he refuses to let him go. Now that the two parties are in a heated dispute, they are going to fight. The people onlookers are talking a lot. This subordinate came here to ask His Majesty for instructions. How should we deal with this matter?"

As soon as Lan Yao made the promise, the things that she should handle personally came one after another. Just when the queen mother was still able to react, she said respectfully and politely again:

"Mother, I will settle this matter myself. You don't have to worry about it, brother."

After finishing speaking, she immediately ordered: "Meng Shuang, prepare the car and go to King Jing's Mansion. I will personally take care of this matter."

Feng Jin saw the excitement, so naturally he couldn't miss the opportunity to monitor and listen to the empress who had changed temperament, and immediately smiled and said:

"Just right, I also want to see how His Majesty handles this matter, why don't we go together?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Yao couldn't help but the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. She had no way to refuse directly, so she could only acquiesce in Feng Jin's behavior of restraining her everywhere, and smiled without showing any weakness:

"With the empress personally guarding me, I will definitely be able to catch my hand during this trip."

Lan Yao and Feng Jin soon left the palace. The queen mother herself did not trust the promise made by her unscrupulous daughter's sudden temperament change, and she couldn't help but feel more suspicious, and immediately said to the maidservant:

"Shuxi, follow Your Majesty. If there is any movement in Prince Jing's mansion, please report it at any time. If King Jing is in danger, you can rescue him first. The Ai family will bear all the consequences."

The people around him took the orders and shook their heads wistfully looking at the cloudy queen outside the window, and couldn't stop sighing.

If he had known that Ning Shu had the ambition to inherit the throne, he would not have pampered her so much that he caused today's irreversible situation.

How long can this big announcement be stable?
……

King King's Mansion.

People from the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple outside the gate surrounded the place tightly, but because of His Royal Highness King Jing's name, even Prime Minister Qi Yuming did not easily trespass.

A door apart.

In the garden, under the small pavilion, a very well-matched pair of people sat facing each other, listening to the occasional voices, there was no sign of panic.

On the contrary, the bodyguard Chaisang who came to report was full of sorrow and said: "Your Highness, the Prime Minister is relentless outside the door. I'm afraid I won't go back if Miss Ye is not caught."

"If they rush in to confront us, His Highness may really be charged with harboring murderers. His Majesty has been watching over there all the time, and this matter may be difficult to resolve."

Ning Yi rubbed the note in his palm that came from the palace, on which was written——

Brother Huang, if you want to protect Ye Qingli, remember to stay behind closed doors and don't give any response, I will handle it personally.

Ning Yi didn't shy away from looking at Ye Qingli, the eldest lady of the Ye family, and after showing the content of the note to the other party, he said calmly:
"It's okay, let's wait and see, what exactly does our Queen, who wants to wake up, want to do?"

Ning Yi, who also has a heart to explore each other, quickly sent out an invitation:
"Miss Ye, do you dare to take a gamble?"

Ye Qingli, who traveled through the night and already figured out the general situation of the world, tilted her head slightly, and said with a confident smile:
"I've killed everyone, so why wouldn't I dare to gamble? What's more, even if I lose the bet, isn't His Royal Highness King Jing still behind? What am I afraid of!"

In her previous life, Ye Qingli was an agent who was both a doctor and a poisoner, and she was full of confidence. She leaned over slightly, and whispered in the ear of Ning Yi, who seemed to be just an idle prince:
"Your Highness saved me. Naturally, I want to repay your kindness. Your Highness's crippled legs and the poison in his body. I can cure His Highness. I believe His Highness will be able to solve today's crisis~ "

Ye Qingli had always wanted to retire in her previous life, but she never expected to come to this world in an accident of a plane crash. After fully understanding the situation, she quickly made the due decision by virtue of her outstanding ability.

If she comes, she will be safe, she has always refused to admit defeat, now that she has come to another world, no matter what, she has to rely on her own ability to make a living in Shengjing City!
At the moment when the disguise was seen through, Ning Yi's eyes suddenly became turbulent, and almost instantly, he couldn't help but exclaimed from the complicated emotions in his heart.

But after enduring it for five years, he still signaled Chaisang, who wanted to take measures, to stop, and pretended to be calm: "Miss Ye's strategy and courage are really not comparable to others. It seems that it is worthwhile for the king to choose to save."

"Since we have this fate, I will definitely not disappoint Miss Ye's expectations!"

Ye Qingli, who was lazy by nature and wanted to be a salted fish, snapped her fingers, laughed at Yan Yan and said:
"Sure enough, talking to smart people is easy!"

The more Ning Yi looked at Ye Qingli, the more she felt that such a smart and decisive woman was not simple, so she felt tempted, and analyzed bluntly:
"I heard that His Majesty not only announced the cessation of the construction of the Mausoleum and the Zhaixing Tower in the court today, but also decided to reflect on himself. So far, he has humbly accepted advice and opened up his voice. It is really quite different from the image he showed before.

"Miss Ye feels that His Majesty personally sent someone to block the news of what happened last night, expressly ordering not to reveal his whereabouts, but after everyone knows about it today, he sent a letter to the king not to give any response. What is the intention?"

Ye Qingli was also full of doubts about the behavior of Lan Yao, the queen who took office, but her intuition told her that the other party didn't want to harm her.

As for the reason behind this, although she has an idea, she is not fully sure, and still needs to wait and see...

Ye Qingli had no answer, so she simply spread her hands, smiled slightly, and said truthfully:
"The intention, don't you know if you look at it?"

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to talk freely, Ning Yi simply responded naturally: "That's right, since Your Majesty ordered me to stay behind closed doors, I naturally have to follow the order!"
