The empress dowager said, "How great it is to be the emperor. Everyone listens to him."

"What's the use of being obedient?" Nian Jun curled his lips. As long as I can play around and have a lot of delicious food, that's fine. "

The empress dowager nodded in satisfaction. "Very good. Go on, don't run around like that. Esteemed empress dowager told Vanilla to send you back so your mufei wouldn't dare to hit you again."

"Mm, the empress dowager's the best." After saying that, she jumped off the bamboo bed and left while holding the hand of the herb.

Xiang Xi walked in and closed the door. "grand empress, do you think this will work?"

The empress dowager laughed: "Actually, it was expected that Leng Qiyue would come to This Dowager. I never thought that Dongfang Haotian would actually seal that lass Liu as the imperial concubine, and that he would still remain in the imperial court. Right, has Han Liu's background been verified? "

Xiang Mi said, "Yes, it's the Prince Mu from the Tian Lai Kingdom. They are obviously on good terms with our country, but in the dark, they are thinking of annexing my great rivers and mountains."

The empress dowager pondered for a moment and said, "So that's how it is. This one will definitely not allow Sheng Dynasty to fall into the hands of another nation. Go and notify General An and have him come to see This Dowager."

"Understood." Mascot went out the door.

The empress dowager thought: "Did Dongfang Haotian lose his mind because of this victory? Do you think I'm a dead man just because I destroyed the east factory? "Hmph, don't forget, I still have a military seal in my hand. As long as I can speak of General An, this entire Sheng Dynasty will be mine. Hahaha …

Seeing that Niu Jun had returned, Leng Qiyue immediately closed the door and asked, "Did the empress dowager make things difficult for you?"

Nian Jun replied, "No, mufei doesn't need to worry. Everything is going according to your plan. As expected, she asked me if I want to become emperor."

Leng Qiyue heaved a sigh of relief when she heard her. Fortunately, she had acted out a play with Lin Jungong, making the empress dowager think that he was just a kid who knew how to eat, drink and play. If the Empress Mother found out about his abilities, she would most likely turn the tables on them and take care of them first.

Nian Jun said, "Mother, I don't think we'll be able to stay here for long."

Leng Qiyue also felt the same way. It's just that she didn't know what the empress dowager wanted to do.

Although he hadn't fought for many years, he had a lot of loyal troops under his command. If they all rushed into the palace at once, they could really occupy the entire palace. However, An Yixuan was a straightforward person. If there wasn't a sufficient reason, he wouldn't be able to force Mo Wuji to change his position.

The empress dowager was also well aware of this point. She found some reports about the unsettled lives of the people, handed them over to the old and upright general, and said, "General An, it is reasonable to say that This Dowager should not interfere in political affairs, but the ministers were unable to hand them over, so they all passed them to This Dowager. That's why I invited General An to discuss it with me. "

An Yi Xuan finished reading the imperial reports one by one, and coldly snorted: "This old subject has also heard that Your Majesty has been lusting after the beauty of the imperial court all day, but I didn't expect that you would already be in such a state of anger. grand empress, what do you think we should do? This old official shall listen to you. "

The empress dowager feigned distress and said, "Ai …" It's all my fault. I had misjudged Dongfang Haotian and thought that he would become an enlightened ruler, but in the end … "Ai …"

An Yi Xuan suddenly knelt on the ground and said: "grand empress, how about you choose someone else as the Emperor?"

The empress dowager pretended to be frightened. "How can we do that? We don't have any candidates! "

An Yi Xuan thought for a moment and said: "Bai Lan is also part of the Imperial Family, he is brave, and is a genius at war, why not consider making him emperor."

The empress dowager did not expect An Zaixuan to support Bai Lan. She rolled her eyes and said, "Although Bai Lan is part of the imperial family, his ancestors swore long ago that they would not allow their descendants to become the emperor. Otherwise, they would die a horrible death. Furthermore, it is impossible for us to convince the masses! "

An Yi Xuan cupped his fists and said: "grand empress, we do not have any other candidates … …"

"Mufei, this is a high honor. Does this mean that the person who becomes the emperor isn't important, and the people are the most important? "Water can carry a boat or turn a boat. If he is a wise king, the people will support him. If he is an unconscious king, the people will overthrow him." Niu Jun's childish voice sounded in the yard.

The empress dowager's mouth curved into a smile. She had instructed Leng Qiyue to bring Nian Jun here and purposely say this for An Yi to hear. Yi Xuan was startled and asked, "Whose child is this?"

The empress dowager replied, "It's the emperor's child, Dongfang Cheng. He's almost four years old. This child is very smart and deeply fond of this family."

An Yi Xuan got up and went to the door. He opened the door a crack and peeped inside. Leng Qiyue was holding a book and talking to Dongfang Cheng on a stone bench in the courtyard. He saw that Dongfang Cheng looked about 80 to 90% similar to Dongfang Haotian, and was also intelligent, and liked him. After closing the door, she said, "grand empress, isn't there a best candidate outside?"

The empress dowager pretended to be worried. "It's a pity that she's too young."

An Yi Xuan said disapprovingly: "What are you afraid of? As long as he taught them well, he could become a wise king. Imperial Concubine Leng's character was also not bad. When she went to provide assistance, her achievements were well-known to all. In the future, with the empress dowager assisting the people in their affairs, the people's lives will be filled with bitterness. "

The empress dowager hesitated. "Is it really possible?"

An Yi Xuan said, "Majesty, it's possible! It can't wait for Imperial Concubine to give birth before taking action, right? "

The empress dowager purposely said angrily, "That won't do, This Dowager found out that Xu Han and Liu's background was the Prince Mu of the Tian Lai Kingdom. If she gave birth to a boy, our Sheng Dynasty would have changed hands."

"What?" Is Imperial Concubine a spy from the Tian Lai Kingdom? " This shocked An Zaixuan greatly, and his heart became even more determined to make Dongfang Cheng the new emperor.

The empress dowager nodded. "I don't know what sort of fox trick Xu Han Liu used to make the emperor ignore court politics, but This Dowager even heard that the emperor's body has been getting worse and worse since she was pregnant. Not only is he sick now, even his head is sick, I believe Xu Han Liu's slanderous words about wanting to kill Leng Qiyue and her mother!"

Fortunately, the empress dowager is wise. This old official absolutely cannot allow the unconscious ruler to ascend to the throne, and even more so, cannot allow Tian Lai Kingdom to reap the rewards. grand empress, we have to act as soon as possible.

The empress dowager said, "Old General, you should reconsider it. This matter is of great importance. I wonder if Dongfang Cheng will be able to shoulder this heavy responsibility."

An Yi Xuan thought for a moment, then said, "Alright, wait for this old subject to probe out the First Prince's character before making a decision."

Her Majesty nodded and asked Vanilla to escort him out.

Leng Qiyue and Niu Jun were no longer in the courtyard. After completing their mission, they went back to rest. Niu Jun couldn't stay any longer, so she went out to play.

When he arrived at the main hall and saw the common people offering incense, an elderly woman and a little girl squeezed through the crowd. He stepped forward and said, "Sister, let's help Grandma up together."

The little girl smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you."
