The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

The questions Xu Yao asked were all related to the Queen Mother.

Where is she? What is she plotting?

Unfortunately, this fake knew nothing about it. He only said that he was a substitute trained by Emperor Qingzong of Yuan for the Empress Dowager, and was sent out to block death at the critical moment.

When Wu Sanlang saw the explosion in the direction of the imperial study room in the palace that day, he knew something was wrong and immediately asked the Queen Mother to hide. Not only did he hide the Queen Mother, he also asked a substitute to replace the Queen Mother and wait in the Wutong Palace.

The real empress dowager seemed to be hiding, and the substitute had no idea where she was hiding.

Xu Yao wondered where he could be hiding, but he was afraid he was still in Wutong Palace.

I was really careless and was not familiar with the Queen Mother's breathing and specific condition, so I caught the wrong person.

Then she thought again, the Queen Mother was still in the palace, but she didn't show up. Was she trying to take advantage of this incident to plot something?

Pei Shuo nodded, agreeing with her idea.

Judging from the situation in the capital, Queen Mother Wang must have wanted to take action against the Jia family for a long time, but she just never found a suitable reason.

This time Xu Yao captured the substitute, but Queen Mother Wang hid in the dark, probably just watching Tutor Jia's family running around and collecting evidence against them.

Within a few days, the Jia family was completely finished.

Xu Yao couldn't help but sigh, no wonder she could be the queen mother and rule Beichen for so long, she shouldn't look down on her like that.

She does have some skills, but sometimes force is not so effective when it comes to the brain of a smart person.

"Could it be possible that the Wu Sanlang I dealt with at that time was also fake?"

She was seriously injured that day, but fortunately she practiced the world's best martial arts secret book, the Nine Plum Blossom Techniques.

This is the only way he could repair his internal strength after being seriously injured and survive until now.

But if she were to tell her now that Wu Sanlang, whom she had worked so hard to destroy, was a fake, Xu Yao thought she would be so angry that she would die.

If it’s so difficult to deal with a fake, how can she deal with Yuan Qingzong?

Zhao Xi said, "There are not so many fakes in the world. I have never seen anyone with Wu Sanlang's ability in the Yuan Qing Sect. The person who dealt with you that day was 100% Wu Sanlang."

Xu Yao felt a little relieved when he heard her say that.

Pei Yi became worried, "This Queen Mother is fake, what should we do next?"

Since the empress dowager is a fake, the Marquis of Pingxi might know the truth and he probably won't exchange the Duke of Zhenguo for the fake one.

What’s even worse right now is that the Duke of Zhenguo seems to have been taken away by Tutor Jia.

Pei Shuo thought that they might as well attack Master Jia directly and snatch his father away from him. However, Xu Yao shook his head: "If Queen Mother Wang could have fabricated the story, then this matter might have been a play performed by Marquis Pingxi to make us mistakenly believe that your father was released from the White Dragon Temple."

When Pei Yi thought of this possibility, she didn't know what to say for a moment, so she looked at Pei Shuo.

She can ask Pei Shuo for help in this matter. He is her younger brother and he saved their father, so it is natural for her to make the request.

But Xu Yao is not a member of the Pei family and has no obligation to take any risks for their family.

Pei Shuo thought for a moment and said, "Master, can I go to Master Jia to test the situation?"

Xu Yao did not agree immediately. She looked at the fake with a dazed look in silence, as if thinking about something.

The situation in Panjing City was turbulent, and Marquis Pingxi entered the palace under pressure.

The emperor summoned him after a long time, but he did so by the Tai'an Lake.

The emperor was sitting and fishing. It was rare for a young emperor to sit still, but he cast the fishing rod in his hand for a long time but did not catch a single fish.

Now that the Empress Dowager is missing, the Emperor is still thinking about fishing here. Others may criticize him, but the Emperor doesn't seem to care.

He had not summoned the court ministers for two consecutive days. Marquis Pingxi stepped forward and kowtowed to the emperor. The young emperor asked him to stand up and ordered the eunuch to find a seat for him.

Pingxi Hou sat beside the emperor, watching him fishing quietly. After fishing for a long time, he still couldn't catch any fish. The emperor finally lost his patience and threw the fishing rod to the eunuch who was serving him.

"Why can't I catch any fish no matter what I do?"

He looked at Pingxi Hou meaningfully, and Pingxi Hou paused and said, "Maybe the fishing spot is wrong."

The young emperor seemed to be thinking after hearing this. Seeing that he remained silent, Pingxi Hou tried to probe him: "The whereabouts of the empress dowager is still unknown. Yesterday, I received a letter. Please read it, Your Majesty."

The emperor took the letter from his hand, read the contents, and frowned slightly.

"The Duke of Zhenguo of the Great Zhou is in Beichen, how could I not know about this?"

Pingxi Hou sighed and said, "Grand Tutor Jia took the man away a few days ago. Didn't he report this to His Majesty?"

The emperor's face was gloomy and uncertain. He snorted and laughed, "Didn't my mother tell me? You all treat me as a child and don't allow me to interfere in the affairs of the court. But I am sixteen years old now. It is obvious that I should be in charge of the government. My mother has refused to give up power all these years. She thinks she can't be the emperor, right? Then who does she think is suitable?"

Hearing him say this, Pingxi Hou quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, calm down. Your Majesty, I didn't mean that."

"No such intention?" The emperor snorted and laughed. "You two all use the excuse of doing good for me to stop me from doing this or that. Even such an important matter as the Duke of Zhenguo being imprisoned in Beichen, only you know about it. What do you think of me? Don't you still think that I am a child who will cause trouble and harm the country?"

The emperor stood up and looked down at Marquis Pingxi, with no intention of letting him stand up.

Pingxi Hou felt the young emperor's anger and told him in a calm voice: "When I was young, I was a naughty child. I was naughty and gave my parents a headache. My father disciplined me strictly, but the stricter he disciplined me, the more upset I became.

Once, someone gave my father a horse. The horse was very fierce and no one could tame it. I didn't believe it and insisted on giving it a try. As a result, the horse went crazy.

I grabbed its temples and dared not let go. The horse was out of control and was running further and further away with me. It was about to be dangerous. I didn't know what to do. My father rode over and hugged me. We both rolled off the horse. In order to protect me, my father hit his head on a big rock on the side of the road. He was unconscious for a long time and almost lost his life. "

Hearing him say this, the emperor's anger gradually subsided.

Pingxi Hou raised his head and looked at the emperor. "Your Majesty, parents love their children, although they may not say it out loud, but they always think a lot about their children. I am young and ignorant, and I am still ignorant about many things. I just acted recklessly. My father, as a person who has experienced it, repeatedly advised me, but I always didn't listen. In the end, it almost caused a disaster and endangered my father's life.

Your Majesty, as the monarch, shoulders the heavy responsibility of a country. It is not that the Queen Mother is unwilling to let Your Majesty rule the country, but it is a matter of state that must be handled with extreme caution. I was willful for a moment and almost caused my father to lose his life. If the monarch of a country is willful, there may be thousands of corpses lying around. Is Your Majesty willing to see such a scene?"
