Princess Consort Is No Pushover

"Present the notebook." Emperor Hongyuan raised his eyelids.

Eunuch Liu walked in and presented more than a dozen thick notebooks.

Emperor Hongyuan picked up these booklets and glanced casually, his face became darker and darker, "These people are so bold, they dare to say that I indulged King Jin, asked me to ask King Jin's crimes, and gave Chu Xuanchen justice .”

Su Ming said: "The emperor calms down, didn't you always want to get the list of Li Wang's contacts? Now these people have jumped out by themselves, you see which ministers wrote the notes, write them down one by one, and then ask them to settle accounts later. "

Most of these ministers were old ministers during the reign of the late emperor, and they were all confidantes of the late emperor.

When Emperor Hongyuan succeeded to the throne, he wanted to uproot them and eliminate them all, but they had already taken root in the court, and some of them were in charge of the lifeblood industry of Chu State.

So Emperor Hongyuan still kept them, but slowly weakened their real power, no longer reused them, only promoted his own people, and ordered his own people to squeeze out these old ministers.

Unexpectedly, when something happened to Chu Xuanchen, these people would jump out.

It seems that when Chu Xuanchen dies, it is time to eradicate these people.

At this time, Eunuch Liu came to report again, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is here, and she was carried here on a phoenix chariot."

He had just finished speaking when he carried the Empress Dowager's phoenix chariot into Emperor Hongyuan's bedroom.

Seeing this, Su Ming retreated first.

As soon as Emperor Hongyuan looked up, he saw the queen mother leaning on the phoenix chariot. He hurried forward and said with concern: "Mother, your illness is not cured yet, how can you come out to run around? If you want to see your son, let him Just go and see you."

"Prince, Ai's family has been restless recently. They don't think about tea or food. They always feel that something happened. Just now, Ai's family heard that something happened to Li Wangfu and Jin Wangfu. What happened? Both of them are the grandsons of the Ai family, so nothing can happen to them." The queen mother said with red eyes.

Seeing this, Emperor Hongyuan hurried forward and held the Queen Mother's hand, "The Queen Mother has been restless lately? Come on, hurry up and bring a bowl of calming tea to the Queen Mother."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Liu withdrew after finishing speaking.

After a while, he ordered the eunuch to bring over a cup of calming tea.

After the queen mother drank the tea, her expression was still sluggish, and her eyes were still full of tears, "Huang Er, can you just tell the truth to Ai's family? Xuan Chen, what's the matter."

Emperor Hongyuan knew that the Empress Dowager had always blamed him for killing the first emperor and successively, and had been indifferent to him all these years.

But only when defending Chu Xuanchen's two siblings, would she speak to him gently and intercede for them.

He was a little afraid to face the Queen Mother's eyes, rolled his eyes, and said, "Queen Mother, don't listen to those rumors outside, they are all rumors and false. Xuan Chen was indeed assassinated, but it was definitely not Jin Wang did it, and now the people outside are being greatly incited, and my son is also worried about this matter."

"Emperor, how is Xuan Chen doing now? Is he really... gone as rumored?" The queen mother choked up and looked at Emperor Hongyuan with a ashen face.

If Xuan Chen is gone, then she doesn't have to live with her old life.

But, what about Jieyu? She also has to protect her.

If their siblings were gone, her life would come to an end.

Emperor Hongyuan hurriedly said: "Mother, don't worry, Xuan Chen is still alive, Princess Li is taking care of him."
