The Queen Mother did not speak, as if the soul that had left her body was slowly returning to its place. After a long time, she closed her eyes tiredly.

The hand resting on the edge of the bed trembled slightly.

The emperor waited patiently.

"The Ai family..." The Queen Mother spoke, her voice hoarse as if she had been cut by a sharp knife. She even froze before she spoke again, "What happened to the Ai family?"

The emperor turned to look at Ji Weiyu.

"Oh, I told the Queen Mother's fortune last night, and the divination showed that there was evil in the Queen Mother's palace." Ji Weiyu's expression was calm and calm, with no trace of lying at all, "Doctor Yan was worried about my health and insisted on following me. I'm afraid Doctor Yan was being made difficult in the palace, so he asked the eldest princess to come over and explain to the Queen Mother in advance. "

The emperor frowned: "Evil?"

"Yes." Ji Weiyu nodded, "I originally wanted to come here last night, but I was delayed because of something. I sped up this morning and came here, but I still couldn't stop the evil spirit from possessing me. As for the Queen Mother, she suffered so much. I am ashamed of my torture.”

"Nonsense!" the emperor scolded, "Since I saw Xie Sui last night, why did I just come here this morning? What is more important than the Queen Mother's body?"

Ji Weiyu lowered his head: "I know my mistake."

The medical ladies lowered their heads, and several young eunuchs and maids acted like mutes, lying on the ground without even daring to raise their heads.

"Where is Meng Changqing?" The Queen Mother was lying on the couch, panting weakly, her voice so hoarse that she could barely hear her, "The Ai family... the Ai family wants to see him."

The emperor turned around and ordered: "Zhou Shun, call Meng Changqing over."

"yes."

A young eunuch walked out respectfully. The older eunuch came back after a while and knelt down: "Report to your Majesty, Meng...Mr. Meng has passed away."

The Queen Mother was confused, as if she heard something wrong: "What did you say?"

The emperor frowned, turned to look at the Queen Mother, and said with some self-blame: "Mother, it's me who is good. I just saw that the mother's situation is wonderful. Because Meng Changqing and the others didn't take care of them well, they asked him and Aunt Zhou to do it. My grandma took me out and punished her with a cane, but I didn’t think about it..."

The Queen Mother's eyes went dark, and she couldn't hear the clear voice for a long time.

Meng Changqing is dead.

This fact made her feel a sense of auspiciousness.

Meng Changqing's life is a matter of life. Normally, the Queen Mother would not care too much even if she was angry, but now she can't.

She realized that this was the emperor's provocation.

The emperor was cleaning up the forces around her and seizing the power in her hands. First, he took advantage of her preparations and started with Marquis Zhongyi and the eldest princess in the palace. Now he started to clean up the power in her palace.

What does the emperor want to do?

The Queen Mother was filled with anger. The sudden anger made her suddenly gain strength as if she was having a flashback. She straightened up from the bed and said, "Let Aunt Zhou come over!"

If it were in the past, no one in Ren'an Palace would dare to neglect the Queen Mother's orders, and she would even need to speak harshly.

But today...

The emperor looked at her disheveled demeanor, with a look of guilt and compassion on his face: "Queen mother, please calm down. Just now, my sons and ministers were so angry that they were both taken out and beaten with sticks...I'm afraid right now..."

Meng Changqing has died, can Aunt Zhou be okay?

The Queen Mother's face was ashen, and her originally pale and colorless face turned red with anger: "Let Yan Zhen come over, the Ai family wants to see Yan Zhen!"

The emperor looked at her going crazy with cold eyes, and finally cooperated with her: "Come on, call Yan Zhen over."

The Queen Mother's eyes were cold. Even though her body was extremely weak at this time, the intimidation she had gained from being in power for several years was still there. She stared at the Emperor, "Does the Emperor want to kill his mother?"

"Yes." The emperor slowly shook his head, "Mother, don't worry, I will serve your mother well and never let her suffer any injustice."

As he said that, he turned around and looked: "There are too many 그 in the mother's harem. If there are too many 그, it will be impossible to keep quiet. Let's take half of them and send them to the queen's palace."

"Your Majesty, you are so presumptuous!"

"The Queen Mother is getting old, so the Queen can stay in Ren'an Palace and rest in peace." The emperor said in a gentle tone, "The trivial matters in the harem are too heavy, and the Queen will be solely responsible for it. I will ask the concubines to come to pay their respects again. Let me Mother, please rest for a while, okay?"

Is this an attempt to imprison her?

"Presumptuous!" The Queen Mother's face was livid. Even though her hair was messy, her eyes were unabashedly shining with sharp light: "Your Majesty, what do you want to do? What do you want to do!"

"Zhou Shun." The emperor took a step back and ordered solemnly, "Starting from today -"

"Your Majesty, Commander Yan is here."

The emperor was silent, slowly turned around and walked to the palace gate, looking at Yan Zhen who stepped into the Ren'an Palace gate with cold eyes.

Yan Zhen, who is dressed in the uniform of a military commander, is tall, has a strong and mighty appearance, and holds a scimitar at his waist. He is responsible for guarding Ren'an Palace and executing the Queen Mother's orders.

However, his mission is destined to end today.

As soon as he stepped into the palace gate, Yan Zhen had two long swords holding his neck. In surprise, he wanted to resist, but saw King Ming walking over steadily and looking at him with cold eyes.

The blood all over his body seemed to be flowing backwards in an instant. Yan Zhen turned his head slowly. The smell of blood in the palace was strong. The two men were lying lifelessly on the spring bench. They moved without moving. There was a shocking pool of blood on their bodies.

그 is dead.

Yan Zhen realized this fact and recognized in the shortest possible time that the clothes on the two men belonged to Meng Changqing and Aunt Zhou.

King Ming led the Royal Guards' cavalry battalion to stand in Ren'an Palace, the formations were heavily guarded, and the emperor dealt with Meng Changqing and Aunt Zhou on the spot - what did this foreshadow?

As the commander of the Royal Forest Army's forward battalion, Yan Zhen instantly understood what this meant.

He looked at Ji Chenghao coldly: "His Royal Highness Prince Ming wants to build a palace in the Queen Mother's Palace?"

"You are not worthy enough to say this." Ji Chenghao's voice was cold, "The Queen Mother is not in good health. My father came to see the Queen Mother, that's all."

"Mr. Meng and Aunt Zhou are the Queen Mother's most trusted..."

"What about that?" Ji Chenghao said coldly, "Being arrogant and serving Zhou Zhou caused the Queen Mother to suffer from serious diseases. Punishing the two of them is kind enough."

Suffering from a serious illness?

Yan Zhen felt happy, how could the Queen Mother contract a serious disease when she was so good?

"I want to see the Queen Mother!" His tone was cold, "I suspect someone is trying to take advantage of the Queen Mother, so I want to see the Queen Mother immediately."

Ji Chenghao said nothing.

His Majesty the Emperor in a bright yellow dragon robe came out, his voice was so light that you could hear the emperor's majesty and ruthlessness: "Start immediately to seal Ren'an Palace. The Queen Mother's body is out of harmony and she needs to rest."

"yes."

"The royal palace will be reduced by half, and the medical women will be reduced by half." The emperor ordered, "All concubines in the harem must disturb the Queen Mother's recuperation without any reason, including Concubine Yun Gui."

"yes."

"Yan Zhen is escorting Zhou, but as for the evil spirits that have touched the Queen Mother's body, he will be removed from the post of commander with immediate effect and will be thrown into prison pending trial."

"yes."

Every command was issued, which heralded the emperor's victory in this struggle. Ji Weiyu and Yan Qing stepped out of Ren'an Palace, already caring about everything here.

If Ji Weiyu wants to talk to Yan Qing, he can always find a topic.

He approached Yan Qing and lowered his voice and said, "The invasion of evil spirits should be something that a mortal can handle."

"There has to be an excuse to give up." Yan Qing said calmly, "What should I say?"

Ji Weiyu thought for a while: "But it can be said that Yan Zhen is an evil spirit. But this sentence should be spoken by the father, not the son of God, who is more credible."

Yan Qing asked whether it was possible.

Things in the palace were handled by the emperor. Ji Weiyu and Yan Qing were not interested in participating, so they left one step ahead of time and left the palace to return to Prince Feng's Mansion.
