Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

Si time the next day.

Luo Jing, West City.

Chongdefang.

In a quiet small courtyard.

"Hmm..."

Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes.

Gradually regaining consciousness, he raised his hand subconsciously, but the next second——

"Fuck! It hurts!!"

The bone-piercing pain spread all over the body in an instant, and the strength suddenly faded away. The wrist that had just been raised a little bit lost the strength to maintain it, and fell powerlessly on the bed.

The severe pain instantly dispelled the haze in Lu Chen's mind, and he woke up immediately, and the memory before coma soon appeared in his mind.

"hiss!"

Feeling the sharp pain as if his body was falling apart, he couldn't help but gasped, and sweat dripped from his face.

Immediately afterwards, when he was shrouded by the Queen Mother's Lingtian Fengwei in the Tai Chi Hall, the feeling of powerlessness like an ant that could be crushed to death gradually came to my heart.

"What a scary old woman, is this the power of an emperor unique to those who rule the world? It really is powerful enough."

Just her aura was enough to crush him into this miserable, scarred appearance from a long distance away. This shows the strength of the Empress Dowager.

After a while, his breathing gradually calmed down, and his face gradually returned to normal.

His eyes were extremely clear, and he did not fear the queen mother at all because of this encounter.

After all, no matter how strong the queen mother is, it is impossible to be compared with an immortal, and as long as he achieves his goal, he will immediately become an immortal and become an invincible existence in this world. Like ants, they can be destroyed with a flick of a finger.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen couldn't help thinking about it.

"According to the memory of my previous life, Empress Dowager Zhao is very good at power and strategy. In the past six years, she has often relegated and dismissed courtiers who opposed her in the court, and she is extremely suspicious. As long as there is a slight sign, she will use thunderous means to suppress it."

"The [big loyal minister] who openly declares his loyalty to the empress like me, the Queen Mother Zhao will never tolerate me, and I'm just a small Taoist official from the seventh rank, that old woman doesn't need to play those things with me at all. It’s useless to issue an edict directly in the name of the emperor to my official position, even if the emperor doesn’t want to.”

"If you are more ruthless, it is possible to kill me directly."

"And the empress has been the puppet emperor for six years. She has succumbed to the empress dowager Zhao's lust for six years. Being a tool person who can only stamp the big seal has almost no sense of existence. What the empress dowager Zhao is going to do, she must fart Don’t even dare to let one go.”

"What's more, in today's imperial court, almost all the courtiers have surrendered to the supreme authority of the Queen Mother Zhao. For a foolish and loyal person like me, those Queen Mother's followers will definitely only sneer. It is absolutely impossible for someone to stand up and speak out for me at the risk of offending the queen mother to death."

"..."

Through the memories of his previous life, Lu Chen analyzed all the forces from the queen mother to the emperor, dignitaries to hundreds of officials, and so on.

After thinking about it, he really couldn't think of any other consequences besides being relegated or killed after he supported the Empress in front of so many courtiers.

After analyzing the situation, Lu Chen gradually smiled.

"It's done!"

Next, just stay at home and wait quietly for the final result to come.

Then immediately rise to immortality in place!

Thinking about it, I am a little excited...

And just when he imagined the decadent life of becoming the fairy queen——

"Mr. Li, please stay!"

Suddenly there was an anxious shout from outside.

"Cousin was injured yesterday, and he hasn't woken up yet..."

Lu Chen quickly judged that it was the voice of his predecessor's cousin Luo Xiaoyu.

Of course, it was his cousin now.

As soon as Luo Xiaoyu finished speaking, a rude voice sounded from the side.

"Hmph! The old man is in a hurry to find him, and he has to wake up if he doesn't wake up!"

As soon as these words came out, Luo Xiaoyu's voice suddenly became more urgent: "Hey! Cousin is so seriously injured, he needs to rest for a while, and must not be disturbed in any way, and the big things have to be put aside... "

Before she finished speaking, the person Luo Xiaoyu wanted to stop said impatiently:

"Stop talking nonsense, that idiot is just in a coma, he's not dead, as long as he's still breathing, the old man has plenty of ways to wake him up."

After the words fell, there was a burst of hurried and messy footsteps outside the door, from far to near.

"You! Why are you like this!"

Luo Xiaoyu panted heavily, as if trying to stop her with all her might.

"The old man has no time to entangle with you, get out of here quickly, or don't blame the old man for being rude!"

"No, I must not let you disturb my cousin in the past!"

"Smelly girl, you are courting death!"

"ah!"

Luo Xiaoyu suddenly screamed, and then Lu Chen heard the muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Apparently the man was rough.

Lu Chen frowned.

"Little Yu."

With difficulty, he yelled softly towards the door.

"Let him in."

As soon as Lu Chen opened his mouth, the voice outside the door stopped abruptly.

A moment later, the man who had just made a harsh voice snorted again.

"Stinky girl, how dare you lie to this old man!"

However, Luo Xiaoyu struggled to stand up from the ground, ran forward to open the door eagerly, and said with a pleasant face: "Cousin, you... you woke up, that's great!"

Then Li Yuanwai rushed in aggressively.

Seeing Li Yuanwai's furious look, Lu Chen couldn't help but move his eyes.

Although it was the first time we met, he was no stranger to this old guy.

Because he is the future old father-in-law who used the method of "catching a son-in-law under the list" to forcibly capture his predecessor and marry him in the mansion when he was a Jinshi in high school.

An out-and-out rich businessman in Luojing.

It is an old tradition in Luojing to catch a son-in-law under the list. Like the predecessor, young people with ordinary backgrounds and no background, but with their own efforts to obtain the honor of being a Jinshi with a bright future, are the most popular among wealthy businessmen in Beijing.

As long as he is recruited as a son-in-law, the merchant will put on a layer of official status. Not only will he have the opportunity to make his business bigger and stronger, and to a higher level, but he will also add a bit of scholarly atmosphere to the house full of copper smells, and even become an official. "Poetry and Book Heirloom" is a scholarly family.

His previous life didn't have a good impression of him, but after all, he received some care from him before he was appointed as an official, and he owed him some favors, and the other party kept licking his face and approaching him, which can be said to be "passionate", so even if he knew He has bad intentions and doesn't always show his face.

They can barely be considered harmonious with each other.

but now……

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Chen could roughly guess why the so-called future father-in-law's attitude towards him suddenly became so bad.

The businessman's news is generally well-informed, and the news that he expressed his loyalty to the empress in the court before may have already started to spread.

And this guy seems to have something to do with a certain courtier.

That is to say, the news that he offended and killed the queen mother who was in power, has most likely reached his ears.

The fate of offending the Queen Mother can be guessed by a normal person, so he must have thought that not only his future would be ruined, but also those related to him might be affected.

This is in a hurry to come over and clear the relationship!

In a flash, Lu Chen sorted out the cause and effect, and while struggling to get up, he said to Luo Xiaoyu:

"Xiao Yu, help me up first."

When Luo Xiaoyu heard this, her expression became anxious.

"Cousin, you are not in good health, don't move around."

Even though she said so, she still approached Lu Chen without any hesitation, and then helped his slightly thin body up with some difficulty.

"No problem."

Lu Chen coughed twice, and a look of depression gradually appeared on his face.

"Since father-in-law is here, no matter what, we must not lose our courtesy."

While speaking, he stood up with Luo Xiaoyu's strength, facing Li Yuanwai, then pretended not to know anything, stepped forward slightly, and said softly:

"My son-in-law has met Yuezhang. I don't know why Yuezhang is so eager to find my son-in-law?"
