I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 319 Before Return
"Is this how you do things perfunctorily?

Look, what are you cleaning?
Although His Majesty is kind, he likes cleanliness the most. Look at the dust in this corner. Do you plan to let His Majesty see this when he comes back?

It’s not cleaned up yet! "

In Liu Long's palace, as Liu Long's personal servant, Cao Teng was yelling at many eunuchs and palace officials with an angry look on his face.

As time goes by, Cao Teng has gradually grown from the young chamberlain to the real eunuch he is now.

Moreover, he was one of the big man's regular attendants and was recognized as Liu Long's confidant.

During these years, Liu Long went on an expedition and did not come back for many years, while Cao Teng was left in the palace.

Firstly, it is to take care of Liu Long's palace and be ready to welcome Liu Long's return at any time. Secondly, he will be transferred to Deng Sui's side from time to time to help Deng Sui deal with some matters in the palace.

As time went by, Cao Teng came into contact with more and more things, and his power became stronger and stronger.

When Zheng Zhong found him, Cao Teng still looked like he was neither fighting nor grabbing, gentle and even a little weak.

His non-competitive attitude quickly gave him the opportunity to stay with Liu Long.

And after all these years, of course he still maintains his gentleness, which is what Liu Long and Deng Sui are most satisfied with about him.

But except in front of Liu Long and Deng Sui, his gentleness had disappeared.

In front of the other eunuchs and the maids, Cao Teng was Liu Long's close confidant and a famous regular attendant in the palace. He was someone they could not reach and did not dare to be presumptuous in front of him.
Therefore, Cao Teng's prestige has become higher and higher.

Now that he heard the news that Liu Long was about to return, Cao Teng immediately said goodbye to Deng Sui and returned to Liu Long's palace again.

The first thing he did when he came back was to call the remaining palace residents in front of him, and then give them a scolding.

That scolding voice was particularly harsh and even more unpleasant to hear!

“You lazy guys, what did Cao tell you before he left?
Let you take care of this palace, His Majesty may come back at any time.

If His Majesty comes back and you are not considerate in any way, be careful that Mr. Cao will become ruthless!

Did Cao tell you these words word for word at the beginning, but now you haven't heard a word! "

Cao Teng's angry curses made all the palace officials lower their heads. They didn't dare to speak for a while, and at the same time they didn't dare to raise their heads to look at him.

Cao Teng was so angry this time, not because he was deliberately arrogant, but because what these people did was really too much.

As a chamberlain eunuch in the palace, Cao Teng is their predecessor, but he is not their father either!

If you want to be in the palace, let alone be successful, if you simply want to live a better life, you must at least understand the rules.

What does it mean to know the rules?

Serve your majesty well, serve the queen mother well, that is the rule!

Other things like studying literature and practicing martial arts are just gifts given to them by the Queen Mother and Your Majesty.

This group of people enjoyed the gifts from His Majesty and the Queen Mother, but they were so perfunctory in serving them.

I have only been away for more than half a month, but there is actually a place in this palace that is gathering dust. Dust is gathering in other places.

But this is the emperor's palace. Do they really think that His Majesty is merciful and has no temper?

Even if His Majesty does not punish them, do they still think that he will not punish them?

Therefore, Cao Teng was not polite and directly pushed the eunuchs leading by him to the ground. Then several people rushed out from the Yulin army, raised the guys in their hands and hit them.Suddenly, the sound of wailing began to sound.

After the wailing ended, the servants in front of Cao Teng finally calmed down, and at the same time, each of them became extremely honest.

Especially when looking at Cao Teng, he didn't even dare to raise his head.

"Now, clean up this palace.

Otherwise, your end will be even more miserable than theirs! "

Cao Teng didn't talk nonsense. With an order, Liu Long's dormitory began to get busy.

At the same time, Cao Teng's curses continued one after another in the dormitory, and they never stopped.

On the other side of the Changle Palace, the Empress Dowager Deng Sui, who had also received the news, looked at the battle report in front of her with a bit of a smile.

“Your Majesty, you really don’t know what to say.

Call him sensible, the battle report ahead has changed from three days to ten and a half months since that majesty left, and he will only come back when he wants to.

But if you say that His Majesty is fooling around, the war in the northwest has ended quickly since that Majesty left.
Hahaha. That Your Majesty really has some of the demeanor of the late emperor! "

Deng Sui's words made Cai Lun on the side smile a little, which really made people feel happy.

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty is coming back, what do we need to prepare?"

"Prepare?" After Deng Sui heard these words, his eyes suddenly changed a bit, and then he looked at Cai Lun aside, and his words seemed to have changed a bit, "What do you think I should prepare?"

"I don't dare to speak nonsense. It's just..." Cai Lun looked up at Deng Sui in front of him. Finally, he slowly took a step forward, then whispered to Deng Sui's ear, "I'm just here in the palace." I heard something”

"What?"

“His Majesty is now in his prime, and he has gained a lot of prestige during his military expeditions in the past two years.

This time... His Majesty is back to take charge. "

After Cai Lun finished speaking, he glanced directly at Deng Sui. After making sure that Deng Sui's expression had not changed much, he whispered directly to Deng Sui.

"Your Majesty, the source of this news has been secretly investigated.

But what I can be sure of is that this news did not come from Cao Teng's mouth.

Even, I’m afraid Cao Teng doesn’t know about it.”

"Yeah!" When Deng Sui heard this, his eyes obviously changed a bit, and then he took a deep breath and then continued to speak softly towards Cai Lun.

“I already know about this, but I don’t need to do anything for the time being.

Go and tell Cao Teng the news. Then let Cao Teng prepare.

Go and greet His Majesty! "

"The Queen Mother won't go?"

"Let your majesty come and see me!"

"." Cai Lun looked at Deng Sui with a calm expression in front of him, and finally lowered his head silently, "I obey!"
