Chapter 217
"Empress Dowager, Xietu got married today, and the one who presides over the marriage is the empress's aunt, Mrs. Luo." Mother Ji said: "It seems that the empress, through Mrs. Luo, wants to make peace with Concubine Shu."

"Concubine Song Shu's pain of losing her son may not be easy to forgive the Queen." Empress Dowager Zhao said: "The suspicion has been buried, and conflicts will definitely break out in the future."

Mother Ji said again: "Chen Yutang was originally the emperor's favorite concubine. In order to win over General Chen, the Empress Dowager promised to release her from the palace and give her freedom. She ignored her former status and practiced well, but went to marry again. It's too shameless."

Empress Dowager Zhao said: "General Chen and Xietu married to show their loyalty to the emperor and queen. Chen Yutang may not be willing to marry, just like she was unwilling to marry into the palace at the beginning. Women, they are always involuntary."

"That's right, Xietu is a martial artist, how can he get Chen Yutang's heart?" Nanny Ji said: "I will pay close attention to see if I can break their alliance."

Just as she was talking, the palace maid reported: "Empress Dowager, Princess Baibao, please see me!"

"Quickly declare her to come in!" The Empress Dowager Zhao sat upright, frowned and said, "Bao'er just entered the palace yesterday, why is she here again today? Is there something wrong?"

At that moment, Princess Baibao came in, saluted, and sat down on Queen Mother Zhao's head, and said with annoyed expression: "Queen Mother, the court is about to turn against the heavens."

"What's the matter?" Empress Dowager Zhao's heart clicked.

"Recently, because of the Snitch incident, the city was full of uproar. The son-in-law searched for the Snitch but failed, so the courtiers impeached him for dereliction of duty, and demanded that he be replaced as the Chief of the Five Cities Army and Horse Division, and replaced by a capable person. This matter has been quarreling for several days. The emperor was noncommittal, at first he thought it would be nothing, but today there is another report, saying that last night there was another snitch, and the snitch hurt someone, and today the courtier impeached the son-in-law again and asked Xietu to be the commander of the five cities Director, the emperor seems to be moved."

"What? The son-in-law has always been devoted to his duties, but he found out that there were only a few small thieves, and he would be able to hunt them down in time. Why did he lose his position because of this? And Xietu is now a guard in the palace. How can He De be the commander of the five cities? Director?" The Empress Dowager Zhao clapped the case and said, "Is the emperor confused?"

Princess Baibao said: "Some courtiers also pointed out Xie Tu's current position, saying that he is not suitable to be the director of Wucheng Bingma Division, but a deputy director came forward and said that Xie Tu was also a member of Wucheng Bingma Division earlier. His martial arts are strong, his ability is superb, he is familiar with Si Wu Yun Yun, and he cited many achievements of Xie Tu in the past. After saying these words, the courtiers who originally opposed were speechless."

Empress Dowager Zhao's complexion changed greatly: "The Ai family understands, this matter was planned early in the morning."

"The queen mother said that the son-in-law's dereliction of duty was a trap?" Princess Baibao's expression also changed. If the emperor planned this matter, no matter how hard they tried, they would not be able to undo it.

The Empress Dowager Zhao couldn't get up, panting, "Wei Guan is a white-eyed wolf. The Ai family helped him to take the position. In the end, this is how he treated the Ai family."

"The empress dowager, calm down and think of a way." Mother Ji hurriedly stepped forward to rub the chest of the empress dowager Zhao, while comforting her: "The emperor has not been on the throne for a long time, and the foundation is not particularly stable. The empress dowager will definitely regain power again. of."

Empress Dowager Zhao let out a breath, calmed down, closed her eyes for a while, opened them again, and said to Princess Baibao, "Did the envoy of Yan Kingdom bring the Prince of Yan to Beijing?"

"Yes. Yesterday, the envoy from the Kingdom of Yan went to the son-in-law's mansion to meet the son-in-law, and the interview was very pleasant." Princess Baibao said.

"That's good, you let the son-in-law meet the envoy of Yan Kingdom, so and so." Queen Mother Zhao waved Princess Baibao to come closer, and said something.
