Queen Mother, she just wants to lie down

"Aunt, what on earth are you planning?" Zhao Ping rolled his eyes and whispered in Ruan Qing's ear.

"Bad girl, don't ask too many questions." Ruan Qing reached out and pushed her head away.

Two days later, Chai Qiong got on a prison cart and was escorted away from Su Lin by several yamen runners and two hundred garrison troops.

Outside the city, on a plank road on Ming Mountain, Princess Yanshan stood with her hands behind her back, looking at the prison cart below with an expressionless face.

Zhou Huaimin next to her glanced at her, as if he wanted to say something, but after opening his mouth, he closed it silently again.

"Do you think I am too heartless?" Princess Yanshan turned to look at Zhou Huaimin after the prison car disappeared.

“No, Queen Dowager Daehui escorted Yoon Jin back to the capital with such fanfare in order to lure out the person behind him.

It is indeed unwise for us to rescue him at this time, I just…” Zhou Huaimin shook his head.

"Just what?" Princess Yanshan raised her eyebrows.

"I just feel that the way Queen Dowager Dae Hee dealt with Yin Zhen was a little bit inconsistent, as if she did it deliberately."

Zhou Huaimin thought about it again and again and decided to give a reminder.

No matter what, Princess Yanshan saved his life, and his suggestion was considered as his fulfillment of the favor she had given him.

"You don't understand, the crime of regicide is unforgivable.

Whether it is Da Xi or Bei Liang, once the monarch encounters such an assassination, he will never show mercy.

No matter what his original intention was, even if he knew that the family behind him was innocent, he could only let them die.

Otherwise, if anyone is dissatisfied with the royal family in the future, they will come to imitate and assassinate them. How can the king's face and the dignity of the royal family be preserved?" Princess Yanshan said coldly.

Zhou Huaimin closed his mouth. He had done his best.

As for whether the other party listens or not, it is beyond his control.

People like Queen Mother Ruan were probably royal outliers.

For the vast majority of people at the pinnacle of power, their authority and face are above all else.

In the Qiao family's ancestral home, Ruan Qing, Que Qi, Zhao Ping and Jiang Yuan were sitting leisurely in the courtyard sipping tea.

Qiao Jun, Jiang Xiaoyu and Qiao Ze each held a book in their hands and read attentively.

"Aunt, you forced Zhou Huaimin to leave Beiliang, but let him act freely. Aren't you afraid that he will ruin the plan?" After drinking two cups of tea and eating a piece of dessert, Zhao Ping asked the question that had been in his mind for two days.

She thought she was not a stupid person, but she really didn't understand the Queen Mother's action for a while.

"Zhao Ping, in your eyes, what kind of person is Zhou Huaimin?" Ruan Qing asked instead of answering.

"He is a smart man who hates the royal family and officialdom of Daxi very much, but at the same time he has sympathy for the people of Daxi." Zhao Ping thought for a moment and replied.

"Since he is a smart man and has stayed in Beiliang for so long, he must be very clear about what kind of person the monarch of Beiliang is and what the official atmosphere of Beiliang is like?" Ruan Qing asked again.

"It should be relatively clear." Zhao Ping replied.

"Is the ruler of Northern Liang a wise and brave man of genius?

Are all officials of Beiliang honest and upright?" Ruan Qing asked again.

"Of course not. If the monarch and court officials of Northern Liang were so powerful, our Da Xi would have been in their hands long ago.

Why would you spend so much time and effort and send so many spies to instigate internal strife among us?" Zhao Ping shook his head.

"That's right. Zhou Huaimin is from Daxi and has lived in Daxi for seventeen years. He has an inseparable feeling for his country and compatriots.

But Beiliang was not the pure land he longed for in his heart.

He accepted my offer of amnesty and took the poison I gave him, so why would he go back on his word?" Ruan Qing reached out and flicked her forehead.

"But he hates the Daxi royal family very much. That day in Yaoyuefang, if he had had the slightest chance, he would have taken your life without hesitation." Zhaoping covered his forehead and glared at her in dissatisfaction.

“In the past twenty or thirty years, our Daxi emperor and the royal family have indeed behaved like unhuman beings, and have done many things that have made the people hate them.

Isn't it normal that he resents the royal family and wants to kill me?

If you were in his place, wouldn't you hate him more than he does?" Ruan Qing said.

If I were in his shoes, I would not be as hesitant as he is. I would just do everything I can to overthrow the people in power who have treated me unfairly.

As for whether the people of the world will suffer because of this, what does it have to do with me?

I don’t have his kind of great love, the little witch thought viciously.

However, even though he complained, he secretly agreed with Ruan Qing's evaluation of Zhou Huaimin.

This person is indeed a person with ideals and ambitions, and he cares about the people.

If such a person is born in an era of wise monarch and clear politics, he has the opportunity to become a famous official.

"Aunt, you openly criticized the Xie royal family in front of so many people, and criticized modern emperors for being unhuman.

If word gets out, even if you are the empress dowager, you will be attacked by the Xie royal family and court officials.

Including my mother, she might be the first to come forward and accuse you." Zhao Ping was silent for a moment, and then made a sly face at Ruan Qing.

"What? Are you going to report me?" Ruan Qing rolled his eyes at her.

"Whether to report it depends on how my aunt bribes me." Zhao Ping tilted his head.

"What kind of bribe do you want? Tell me." Ruan Qing looked at her leisurely.

"I want a real job, like the ones that Queqi and Jiang Yuan have.

After opening two branches of the Women's Association a few months ago, I have discovered that if I don't have real power, it is impossible to open Women's Associations all over Daxi and make everyone in the world willingly accept the rules of the Women's Association." Zhaoping took the opportunity to state his request.

“Okay, but it’s going to take time. When I have enough influence in the court and my words carry enough weight, I will make all the female officials of the Women’s Association become officials with real power, just like the court officials.

Of course, I can’t do it alone. You have to work hard to let all officials and people all over the world see the role of the Women’s Association.

As long as you have enough ability and skills and are recognized by people all over the world, then you can forget about getting an ordinary job.

Even if you want to be a female prime minister who is second only to the emperor and above all others, I will fully support you." Ruan Qing said.

Zhao Pingyuan thought Ruan Qing would find excuses to reject him as before, but she not only agreed but also threw out such a big bait. His eyes suddenly lit up with a bright and amazing light: "Are you serious?"

"Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back. Everyone present can testify to this.

But let me be frank with you: if you want to be a female prime minister, you must care about the people and follow the right path.

After all, in the thousands of years of history before this, there has never been a female prime minister who was recorded in history and recognized by the world.

If you want to be the first to try something new, you have to do better than those famous male ministers in history."

Ruan Qing answered seriously, but he deliberately emphasized the last sentence.

This little devil Zhaoping is sharp-minded and intelligent, almost like a demon. If she really wants to become a female prime minister whose name will go down in history, it is not impossible.

The only problem is that she has a yandere nature, and I'm afraid that once she goes crazy, she will kill indiscriminately without distinguishing between friend and foe, loyal and treacherous.
