A few months ago, Cong Ji had changed the guards at the gates of the capital, and so did the guards everywhere.

Therefore, he led the army to drive straight in without encountering the slightest obstruction.

He has always managed the army strictly. During the march, he did not wake up the people who were still asleep. As for the people who got up early, he specially comforted them and did not make any noise.

In just one stick of incense, he had already led his army to the gate of the palace.

The gate of the palace opened immediately, and the guards inside were all kneeling and prostrating.

Cong Ji motioned for him to keep quiet, and then a secret guard came to report in a low voice: "Your Highness Six will stay overnight in the Sizheng Palace."

The ideological and political hall is the place where state affairs are handled, and the bedroom is not far from the ideological and political hall.

Cong Xun stayed overnight in the Ideological and Political Hall, which can be regarded as hardworking.

He ordered Duan Ruizhi to go to Yong'an Palace to arrest the Empress Dowager Zhou, while he himself went to the Sizheng Palace.

Outside the Ideological and Political Hall, the two confidantes guarding Cong Xun saw this and drew their swords to face each other.

The sound of clashing swords suddenly sounded, and Cong Ji felt as if he had entered the land of no one. In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived at the gate of the temple, and he hadn't even taken out the "ten steps".

He was about to raise his hand to push the door, but surprisingly, the door of the hall opened.

As soon as the door of the hall opened, a familiar face appeared, it was Cong Xun.

Cong Xun was stumped, without an outer shirt, and his body was emaciated.

He opened his eyes wide, looked at Cong Ji and said, "I heard something moving outside, and I was about to check it out, but unexpectedly, it was my brother. Today is December [-]th, and my brother passed away on July [-]th. A full five months and ten days have passed, and my brother has never dreamed. I miss him so much. I see him today. I don’t know how to apologize to him. Brother, whether you believe it or not, I have never coveted the throne. The goal of my life is to be my brother's right-hand man. I was very sad when I heard that my brother passed away, but my mother forced me to ascend the throne as soon as possible. ..."

He knelt down and cried, "Brother, I was wrong. I was too incompetent to match the empress mother. Brother, maybe in a few days, the Cong family's country will be owned by the Zhou family. I moved the ministers you left behind or put them in confinement, and even planned to arbitrarily put a crime on them and kill them. I tried my best to dissuade my mother, and barely managed to save their lives, and their official positions were all occupied by the Zhou family. It is said that The newly appointed Zhou family has fish and meat people, but I can't do anything about it. Brother..."

"Brother..." He hugged Cong Ji's feet, "Brother, did you come to this dream to tell me how to deal with my queen?"

Cong Ji listened to Cong Xun's confession, and observed Cong Xil carefully without saying a word.

Suddenly, he saw Cong Li let go of his hand, and then said in astonishment: "Brother, your feet are hot. Could it be that I am not dreaming now? Brother is actually still in the world?"

He saw Cong Xun pinch his cheek vigorously again, the skin and tender flesh of this cheek turned red all of a sudden.

"It hurts..." Cong Xun said ecstatically, "My brother is still alive, brother, I am finally looking forward to your return."

Cong Ji was skeptical, and took advantage of the situation to help Cong Xun, showing his brotherly love, and said: "Ah Xun, brother is back."

Cong Xun was helped up, and said timidly, "Don't you blame me, brother? I'm really a traitor."

Cong Ji shook his head and said, "I don't blame you, it's all the fault of the Empress Dowager Zhou."

"The empress, she..." Cong Xun closed his eyes, "The empress is not willing to be the empress dowager, I have heard that the empress herself said to her confidantes that she would become an empress and change the dynasty, I..."

He choked up slightly: "I'm just a puppet used by my mother for the transitional regime."

The voice fell to the ground, and Duan Rui went forward to report: "The general has captured the Queen Mother Zhou."

Cong Ji looked back, not far away, the Empress Dowager Zhou was being escorted towards him in a panic.

He raised his voice and said, "Queen Mother, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you all right?"

Not long ago, the Empress Dowager Zhou was hugging her male favorite, Haomian, when she was caught off guard, the door was broken into, and she was forcibly escorted here before she even had time to put on her clothes.

She thought it was Cong Xun who had taken the guts of a bear and made trouble for her, and was planning to teach Cong X a lesson, but she didn't think that the villain who made her so miserable was not Cong XI, but Cong Ji.

This Cong Ji is not dead!

Obviously Cong Ji had a plan long ago, but he has fallen into a trap, and I am afraid it will be difficult to end well.

Hearing Cong Ji's words, she couldn't stop slandering, but her face was full of surprises: "Didn't your majesty pass away from serious injuries? Since your majesty is in good health, why didn't you return to Beijing earlier?"

Cong Ji said with a half-smile, "When will I go back to Beijing and get my mother's beak?"

"Aijia..." The Queen Mother Zhou sighed, "I can't help my mother."

Cong Ji asked bluntly: "Empress Zhou, but you ordered Fang Yun to poison the empress's rouge?"

The Empress Dowager Zhou denied: "After my sister passed away, Ai's family just entered the palace. At that time, Ai's family didn't even know Fang Yun. How could he instruct Fang Yun to poison her sister's rouge? How could Ai's family predict that he would be killed by the first lady?" The emperor welcomes you into the palace?"

"Zhou Shi." Cong Ji changed the title, "You once seduced father father when father was accompanying mother queen to visit relatives. Father father was very happy with a virgin son, so anyone who came would not refuse. After a night of spring festival, you thought father would take you away. Returning to the palace, however, failed to fulfill your wish, and you also failed to conceive. You were not reconciled, and you bought the alchemist who was reused by your father. As soon as your mother passed away, the alchemist said, "The successor must come from Linyun Zhou's family, otherwise , It may affect the fate of the country', in fact, the father had already forgotten about you at that time, and listened to what the alchemist said, so he welcomed you into the palace and became his successor."

——The imperial father once doted on the empress mother, but because the empress mother was weak after giving birth to Luzhuer, she was unable to sleep with her, so the imperial father became increasingly indifferent to the empress mother, and instead favored concubine Shu exclusively.

The queen mother passed away, and the only beneficiaries were Concubine Shu and Queen Mother Zhou.

Concubine Shu had already been executed by him, so the person who instigated Xuejuan to kill with a knife was probably the Queen Mother Zhou or Cong Xil.

But the Empress Dowager Zhou had not yet entered the palace, how could she order Fang Yun to poison her?

Faced with a lot of fog, he spent a lot of manpower and material resources to thoroughly investigate those who were related to the Queen Mother Zhou, only to find out that the Queen Mother Zhou had seduced his father.

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager Zhou said angrily, "Why does Your Majesty spout blood?"

Cong Ji said indifferently: "When Father came to you for the first time, did you wear a silk handkerchief?"

Seeing that the Empress Dowager Zhou remained silent, he continued: "Father loves virgin blood the most in his life. He keeps a red sandalwood box full of silk handkerchiefs stained with virgin blood. There is also yours, which is marked Linyun Zhou family, and also marked the date - it is the day when the father accompanied the mother and the empress to visit her relatives."

Empress Dowager Zhou turned pale, pretending to be calm and said: "How do you prove that what you said is not fabricated?"

"If you really don't cry when you see the coffin, then don't blame me for not saving face." Cong Ji winked at a guard, who immediately brought a red sandalwood box.

Cong Ji opened the red sandalwood box, took out a silk handkerchief from it in public, and handed it to the Queen Mother Zhou.

When the Empress Dowager Zhou saw that the silk handkerchief was covered with dark red blood, she wrote a letter to the Zhou family on the [-]th of March in Yangchun, Jiazi Year, and she was horrified.

Seeing this, Cong Ji knew that the Empress Dowager Zhou had believed her.

He ordered someone to forge this silk handkerchief. His father really likes the blood of virgins the most. Every time he comes back to be a virgin, he must put a silk handkerchief on it for him to play with afterwards, but his father has no interest in collecting silk handkerchiefs. If you pass it, you get tired of it, and when you get tired of it, you throw it away.

"So what if the Ai family seduced the first emperor? Does this mean that the Ai family is going to murder my sister?" The Queen Mother Zhou pinched Sipa in her palm, her knuckles turned white, and Cong Ji asked, "If you don't murder your mother, how can you defeat your mother? I heard that you have been compared with your mother since you were a child, but you are not as good as your mother in every way."

The Empress Dowager Zhou smiled and said, "Do you have evidence?"

"I don't have physical evidence, but I have someone to prove it." Cong Ji ordered, "Duan Aiqing, please send Concubine Zhao."

When she was young, Concubine Zhao came with Duan Ruizhi, and when she saw Cong Ji, she was startled: "Your Majesty, didn't you die?"

"Zhenji people have their own celestial features, how could they die so early?" Cong Ji pointed to the Queen Mother Zhou and said, "Concubine Zhao, what was the relationship between Fang Yun and Queen Mother Zhou before she was alive?"

Concubine Zhao replied: "Fang Yun is a little afraid of Queen Mother Zhou."

Cong Ji asked again: "Why is Fang Yun afraid of Queen Mother Zhou?"

"Fang Yun was Empress Dowager Zhou's attendant before entering the palace..." Before Concubine Zhao finished speaking, she was interrupted by Empress Dowager Zhou: "Stop talking nonsense."

"That's the truth. I'm not talking nonsense. Fang Yun was indeed your maid before entering the palace." Concubine Zhao added, "And you arranged for her to enter the palace, and you even paid a lot of money to seal her family's silence."

Cong Ji said sharply: "Mr. Zhou, don't hesitate to recruit from the truth!"

"The Ai family has nothing to recruit. The Ai family is innocent. You have colluded with Concubine Zhao, a lowly servant girl, to slander the Ai family." The Queen Mother Zhou straightened her hair, and said unhurriedly, "Your Majesty is afraid that the Zhou family will become too powerful. , decided to deal with the Zhou family from Aijia and Shanger, His Majesty planned a feigned death so that Aijia and Shanger could be punished for treason. Your Majesty is still not satisfied, and wants to blame Ai's family for sister's death."

She walked towards Cong Lie, and after a while, she stood in front of Cong Lie and comforted her: "Don't worry, Aijia did nothing wrong, and Lai'er did nothing wrong. The first emperor passed away, and the new emperor should take the throne. We The mother and son were just tricked by Cong Ji."

In the next breath, she suddenly felt a pain in her heart, and when she lowered her eyes, she saw a sword piercing her heart.

She once held the hand holding the sword, it was once small and soft, and the owner of the hand once called her "mother queen" affectionately.

"Xie'er..." She stared at Cong Xun, gently stroked his cheek and said, "Don't cry, men have tears..."

She spat out a mouthful of blood, and immediately fell to the ground.

Cong Ji is by no means a kind person, as soon as she saw Cong Ji, she knew that she had no life left, and what she said and did just now were nothing but dying struggles.

But she didn't expect that she would die at the hands of her own flesh and blood.

When she was dying, she thought of her sister, the gentle and demure, beautiful, and beautiful sister who surpassed her in every way.

As long as there is a sister around, she will ignore it.

Even her biological parents wished that her sister was their biological daughter.

Back then, the first emperor chose his sister between her and her without thinking.

When she seduced the first emperor, the first emperor did not remember her.

She was full of resentment and vowed to surpass her sister, but unfortunately she failed to do so throughout her life.

But it's not that she can't die with peace, she was inferior to her sister in every way.

It's just too sad to die at the hands of one's own flesh and blood.

Forget it, death is death, at the hands of Xun Er, Xer Er may be able to survive under Cong Ji's hands.
