Phoenix Knot: Butterfly Dance

Chapter 2

Emperor Xi Yuan is my husband and also the emperor of the Yinlian Dynasty; it was just that he was assassinated by an assassin the day before yesterday, so I became the queen mother according to the precepts of my ancestors.

My father is the great general Gong Xu, and it was Emperor Xi Yuan Lian Yu's elder brother Lian Chan who assisted me to become the Empress Dowager, he was nearly 20 years older than Lian Yu.

When Brother Lian Yu left, I was really sad, as if I had lost my dearest relative; but I didn't feel that heartbreaking.

Chu Yan said, that's because I'm still young; it's because I don't have feelings for Lian Yu.

But I really don't like the oppressive life in this palace, Gu Yan said, this is my destiny, I have been in the palace for nearly nine years.

"Half a year." I raised my eyes and looked out the window: "Yes, it's only half a year."

"What's wrong with you... Your Majesty" Cong Yan looked at me cautiously, afraid that I wouldn't be able to think about it, yes, now that I'm the Queen Mother, naturally I think more.

"After half a year, I don't want to take care of anything in the palace anymore. I want to change the precepts of my ancestors. From now on... the harem must not interfere with the government!", I said.

Cong Yan hurriedly stepped forward and tried to cover my mouth: "Your Majesty, you are disrespectful!"

"Disrespectful?" I laughed at myself, "Now I am the first queen mother of the Yinlian dynasty, what's wrong, even if I change the ancestral teachings, who can stop me?"

"...You really don't want to be the queen mother..."

I looked at the emerald green jade seal in my hand, but I couldn't laugh, "Who wants to be... Who wants to be, the Yinlian Dynasty has been in power for more than 150 years, and has never had a queen mother. Why did I bump into it? Yinlian Of the three emperors of the dynasty, which one didn’t abdicate all the year round to give way to the virtuous? How could there be such a situation? The old emperor abdicates, and the empress also retires, what about me?”

"It's not like Emperor Yuan, so is Emperor Yue..." Gu Yan suddenly stopped talking.

"Emperor Yue? What happened to Emperor Yue?"

"No, it's nothing." Gu Yan intended to change the subject, "Speaking of which, the assassin who assassinated the emperor seems to have been caught."

"Caught it?" I was a little surprised, "Where is it?"

"I've been put in prison"

"...Auntie, take me to meet him"

"Ma'am, this address will have to be changed in the future, don't call me aunt anymore, call me by my first name," Gong Yan said with a smile.

"It's..." I laughed at myself again, status, what is it to me?I am just a woman in full bloom, why should the prosperity of the country be related to me.

(day prison)
In the depths of the prison, there was only one man in white in the huge cell, with his back to the cell door; he seemed to hear footsteps faintly, and turned around, showing an extraordinary appearance.

"Caomin, see the empress." He just bent his body slightly, neither humble nor overbearing.

I glanced lightly and asked, "Why did you assassinate?"

"Does the empress think that an assassin will tell others the purpose of the assassination?" He raised his eyes and chuckled, "Or the empress thinks that grass people are people who are afraid of death."

"Empress?" I also laughed, "I am no longer an empress."

"how you said that?"

"Thanks to you, I have become the queen mother, do you understand? ... What is your name?"

He turned around and said, "Cao Min, Xue Wufeng. Empress Dowager, the prison is filthy, please invite the Empress Dowager back to the palace, don't ask the rest, Cao Min has nothing to say."

I looked at Xue Wufeng's back, and shook my head lightly: "Although I don't know why you assassinated the emperor... But now, you have given me an inexplicable but important task in this world. If you don't give me an explanation... how can I be reconciled." ,leave.

"Mother Yi Tianxia...?"
