=======================

Qing Tianliang was frightened by Ning Kou once, and had no sleep all night, and returned to Zhengyang with Ning Kou in a carriage early the next morning.

Huo Yunchao arranged for the injured people, compensated those who were accidentally injured, arranged for manpower to take over Gubeikou, and after promulgating the new policy, he led his army straight to Zhengyang.

Seven days passed in a blink of an eye.

Eunuch Ning brought Qing Tianliang into the palace, and just in time for the court to go down, Pi Shaoxian and Li Ju saw Qing Tianliang standing on the road, Qing Tianliang followed Ning Kou with his head down, his hair disheveled, and he was lifeless at all.

Wang Baoxiang came out slowly behind his father, at this moment Qing Tianliang followed Ning Kou through the arched door to the Empress Dowager's Palace.

Wang Baoxiang walked to Pi Shaoxian and Li Huaiying, seeing them staring at the harem in a daze, he asked, "What are you looking at?"

Pi Shaoxian said: "I saw Ah Liang."

"What! Ah Liang is back?!" Wang Baoxiang raised his voice, obviously very excited, "Where is it, where is it?"

Li Ju took a rare serious look, tugged at him, and shook his head.

When Wang Bao met, the officials of the next court were all looking at him, and his father frowned, hurriedly restrained his actions, pretended to put his hands together and smirked, and asked them in a low voice: "Where did Ah Liang go?"

Pi Shaoxian said: "I was taken away by Eunuch Ning."

Now even Wang Baoxiang lowered his eyes with a worried expression.

Eunuch Ning belongs to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager intends to compete for the throne. She is fighting openly and secretly with King Xiao and Mr. Huo Xiao. Come back, the purpose is definitely not simple.

Ning Kou, who was leading the way, took off his weird mask after entering the palace, revealing an old but serious face, which was seriously incompatible with his voice.

People who practice martial arts have always had a keen sense of hearing. Ning Kou stopped and smiled, and said, "The few outside are old friends of the young master, do you need to catch up on the old days?"

Qing Tianliang's eyes flickered for a moment, then lowered his eyes, buried his emotions deeper, curled his lips, and said nonchalantly: "A few insignificant people, what's there to catch up on."

Ning Kou looked at him: "I heard that they were your best childhood playmates."

"When I was a child? When I was a child, I still called Prince Guijue brothers and sisters. Now it doesn't delay us becoming enemies. We are all adults. How long can a relationship without interests be involved? What's more, they are not playmates. At best, they are easy to use. It’s just doglegs, I still have a lot of doglegs like this, have you heard about my father-in-law when I was in school?”

"Never." Ning Ko said.

Qing Tianliang raised his chin to look at him: "Then father-in-law can go and inquire about it. There is a land in the college that I conquered, and the dudes there still have people calling me the boss."

Ning Kou saluted respectfully, and started to walk forward again. He was not interested in paying attention to the pediatrics.

Qing Tianliang stepped into a dangerous chess game for the first time, and he had to be careful with every step. He had too many weaknesses and too little ability to protect important people. .

The Fuxi Palace is the place where the Empress Dowager lives. It has a simple and elegant style, and there are no fancy flowers in the yard. There are only two pine trees, four pots of [-]-year-old plants, and two pots of evergreens.

The attendants were very polite, they walked with their heads down all the time, only staring at their own feet, and they didn't even look at others when it wasn't necessary.

Repressed.

Qing Tianliang felt oppressed when he walked into this courtyard. If he lived here, he would definitely get sick.

The Empress Dowager sat in the main hall waiting for a long time, Qing Tianliang saw it as soon as she entered.

At the door, Ning Ko bowed and saluted, like other attendants, she bowed her head and came to the Empress Dowager, knelt down, kowtowed, and said in a low voice: "My servant is paying homage to the Empress Dowager. I am not good at doing things, please punish me by the Empress Dowager."

Empress Dowager Dong waved her hands and said "Excuse me", Ning Ko got up, bowed her body and took a few steps back before leading the others away.

There were only two people left in the hall.

Empress Dowager Dong was really disappointed that she couldn't make a move against Huo Yunchao, but after ruining Huo Yunchao's reputation and allowing her to win a round, she didn't care about Ning Ko's miss.

Looking at the disheveled Qing Tianliang below, Empress Dowager Dong frowned slightly, and said in displeasure, "Why is it so dirty, go wash it up and come see Ai's family."

Qing Tianliang was taken down. After taking a shower, he looked at the unicorn brocade robe neatly stacked on the plate. He was stunned for a while, and asked the maid beside him, "Do you have any other clothes?"

The maid said respectfully: "No, the Queen Mother has ordered that you must ask the young master to wear this suit to the main hall."

Qing Tianliang had to bow his head under the eaves, so he could only wear this suit in response, and came to the Empress Dowager Dong again, Ning Kou was also there, and changed his clothes.

Empress Dowager Dong looked him around and nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, he has the demeanor of a king."

Qing Tianliang frowned, and said solemnly: "Please be careful with your words, Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Dong stood up from her seat, walked down with the support of Ning Kou, stood in front of Qing Tianliang, and said: "She looks very similar to your mother, and she also has the same temper. Not very happy."

Thinking of that proud woman, Empress Dowager Dong felt a little emotional: "Twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye, how old are you?"

Qing Tianliang replied: "Twenty."

"Twenty?" Empress Dowager Dong shook her head, "It should be twenty-two."

"How come, the Queen Mother must have remembered it wrong." Qing Tianliang clenched his fists, he did not expect the Queen Mother to tell him this as soon as they met, he was not yet mentally prepared.

Now that Huo Yunchao had led his army to Baicheng, if it hadn't been for the obstruction of the folk forces, he didn't want to be delayed in conflict with the people, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to wait for Qing Tianliang to enter the palace.

The situation is already so tense, how can she have the leisure to follow Qing Tianliang step by step?

"I can't remember wrongly," Empress Dowager Dong said with a sigh of reminiscence about the past, "On the day you were born, the sun was shining brightly, and the phoenix flew around the roof of Qingbei Palace. The late emperor tabooed your birth. If you say that the child cannot be kept, you will send someone to kill him."

"A Bing couldn't bear it, so he immediately handed you over to the prime minister to take you away, and found a dead baby from somewhere, and told the first emperor that the mother of the child had a dystocia, and the child followed. The first emperor was deceived, so you live come down."

After hearing this, Qing Tianliang said: "The empress dowager, the person you are talking about is Huo Yunchao."

"Son," the queen mother said still calmly, "would you like to hear me tell you a story?"

Qing Tianliang opened his mouth: "I don't..."

"It all starts in the 76th year of the Dajia Kingdom..."

Qing Tianliang: "..."

……

During the 76 years of the Dajia Kingdom, the world was still dominated by the Shang Kingdom and the Guijue Kingdom. The Dajia Kingdom and the Yunzhao Kingdom were struggling to survive. At that time, His Majesty Huo Qiu saw that if the country could not be strengthened, it might be doomed. Then he formed an alliance with the lord of Yunzhao country.

The two countries made a good relationship and jointly defended against the enemy. The two monarchs made an oath before the gods. The two countries merged to defend against the enemy and survive. Before the crisis of survival was resolved, they trusted each other and helped each other.

After forming an alliance, Yunzhaoguo was responsible for giving weapons and money, while Huo Qiu led the army to deal with Shangguo and Guijue, and finally found a place in these two countries.

After the four kingdoms formed a tripartite confrontation, Yunzhao Kingdom and Dajia Kingdom ushered in a period of stability and peace. At this time, the king of Yunzhao Kingdom fell ill and entrusted his only daughter to Huo Qiu before his death. It was agreed that if they form a family with their sons and daughters, the country of this generation will be ruled by Da Jia, and the country of the next generation will be ruled by Princess Yunzhao, and so on.

For the sake of fairness, the two agreed that if the princess gave birth to a daughter, the third generation would be ruled by Da Jiaguo, and if a son was born, Yunzhaoguo would continue to take over the country.

There are many daughters in the Huo family lineage of Dajia Kingdom and few sons. This agreement is beneficial to Dajia Kingdom, but the master of Yunzhao Kingdom also has selfish intentions. He is afraid that his daughter will lose power and be bullied, so he intends to fight for her to be re-elected. In case a son is born, the son will have time to establish his own power, and even if Da Jiaguo takes over the country again in the end, they don't have to be afraid of being bullied.

It's a pity that people's hearts have changed, and the leader of Yunzhao Kingdom left early. The princess of Yunzhao Kingdom was still young when she came to Zhengyang to rule. Hand over the political power, and let his most outstanding son, Huo Yuheng, use beauty tricks to seduce other girls.

At that time, Huo Yuheng was high-spirited, young and handsome, and Princess Yunzhao was in love for the first time, and the two fell in love and let nature take its course.

Huo Qiu's plan was very successful. He emptied Princess Yunzhao, secretly supported his own power, and gradually took all the power of the alliance of the two countries into his hands.

Until Princess Yunzhao reached the marriageable age, Huo Qiu directly ordered that Princess Yunzhao be betrothed to his second son, Huo Bing.

Huo Qiu wants to make Huo Yuheng the monarch, and in order to prevent Princess Yunzhao from giving birth to a crown prince, he wants to marry her to Huo Bing as a princess.

Huo Yuheng was away fighting, and when he heard the news and returned to Zhengyang, Huo Qiu threatened the lives of the princesses and clansmen of Yunzhao Kingdom.Forced her to marry Huo Bing.

Huo Bing also liked the princess at the time, and for his own selfish desires, he forcibly married his younger brother's woman in accordance with his father's plan.

Huo Yuheng was heartbroken until Huo Qiu violated his oath to pass the throne to him, and on the day he succeeded to the throne, Huo Yuheng pushed Huo Bing to take the position in order to take revenge on Huo Qiu.

Princess Yunzhaoguo was conferred the title of Empress Zhengde and she was pregnant. Huo Qiu was furious and said that even if she was conferred the title of empress, she would not be allowed to live in the harem.

Huo Bing was worried about Huo Yuheng, so he sent him to Qingbei Palace to be taken care of by the old prince until the child was born. Huo Qiu heard that it was a boy and wanted to send someone to deal with it. Huo Bing and Huo Yuheng hid the matter together.

Princess Yunzhaoguo died in childbirth indeed.

"Impossible..." Qing Tianliang murmured, "If the child goes to the prime minister's residence, then what is Huo Yunchao's identity?"

The Empress Dowager said: "Although Ah Bing is sitting on the throne, he is not someone who is not without wolfish ambitions among the royal relatives. His position is not stable. After the former emperor died, some people wanted to make use of it to find out whether the little prince is dead or not, because compared to Huo Bing, The little prince is a more legitimate heir to the throne."

Huo Bing was afraid that someone would take away his throne, and at the same time, he was afraid that the child would be harmed, so he desperately concealed it, and did not hesitate to use drugs to suppress the child's growth, so that people could not find out where it was based on age. The child was still wrapped in swaddling clothes when he was two years old. Can talk and can't walk.

After the little prince was taken away, the prime minister's wife was ordered to go to another village to recuperate. When the prime minister's wife Du Qingrong became pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy, Huo Bing had a plan in his mind.

"In order to divert the attention of interested people, when the prime minister's son was two years old, Huo Bing personally went to pick up the prime minister's wife back to Zhengyang. At that time, there were two children, one was four years old and the other was two years old. Guess who looks like four years old and who Looks like two years old?" The Empress Dowager walked to the seat and asked Qing Tianliang.

Qing Tianliang felt cold all over and shook his head: "I don't know..."
