MTL - My Parents Are Omnipotent-Chapter 389 Empress Dowager

  Chapter 389 The Empress Dowager

The search for clues and interrogation of the gatekeepers in Zheng Fengshou's imagination did not happen at all. This group of people was so stupid, they divided into two teams with great fanfare, chased out the west gate and the north gate of the capital, and expressed the word "acting" to the fullest. It's like being afraid that people won't know they're on an errand.

  Those big Zhou soldiers guarding the city were veterans. Looking at their posture, one could tell that they were putting on a show, so no one took the words they yelled seriously.

  They changed shifts when they should, and closed the city gates when they should, as if the guards who had chased out of the city before did not exist.

   This led to the fact that until Ye Anlan and the others finished all the finishing work, there was still no sign of the pursuers they expected to arrive long ago.

  Yang Xiaotao, who was still nervous, opened her eyes, expressing that she was quite speechless.

  Ye Anlan breathed a sigh of relief. After a busy day and night, and she has been highly concentrated, she already felt a little tired.

  She glanced at the slightly pale sky, "Clean up and let's go to the city."

  Yes, she did not run away after doing bad things, and she still planned to return to the capital to do things.

Taking advantage of the already pale sky, Wen Liuniang dressed herself as a blind fortune teller, Ye Anlan as a hunchbacked old medical woman, Yang Xiaotao as a country girl adopted by the medical woman, and Zheng Fengshou as a vegetable deliverer. Country boy who goes to town.

  The four of them took the disguised road that symbolized their identities, and generously paid money to enter the capital.

  As for Li Jing and Chang An, one of them is still pretending to be a scholar and the other a servant, but they will not enter the city with Ye Anlan and the others.

  Ye Anlan and the others played the role of getting up early and rushing to live, so as soon as the city gate opened, they were very dedicated and sandwiched among the bottom-level masses with similar identities to them, and went to the city to "seek a living" in a proper manner.

   Li Jing, dressed as a scholar, seized the time to stroll into the city with Chang'an after the Great Court Meeting was over.

   By the time they finished their seemingly aimless stroll, the latest developments of the Great Zhou court had been gradually gathered into the hands of the two of them.

  Brought many secret letters gathered by eyeliner according to the level, Li Jing and Chang An rushed to the meeting place they had agreed with Ye Anlan before the curfew.

   Ye Anlan, who was full of sleep, was in high spirits at this time. Together with Li Jing and others, she deciphered all the small notes according to the fixed rules, and then combined all the information together.

The results of the combination showed that the imperial guards who chased out of the city last night did not show up in the capital all day today, and the second brother of the empress dowager's natal family who was still going out for a banquet heard the news and was keenly aware that something was wrong, and asked the servants to investigate the whole story immediately .

   The second brother of the Empress Dowager's natal family immediately turned black in the face of this investigation. Others don't know the Queen Mother well, but he and their eldest brother know the Queen Mother very well.

  Others only saw the willfulness of the queen mother in certain matters after she took power, but they didn't know that the queen mother has always been a person who is very good at weighing pros and cons.

Now that Pei Yuanjiang regards Ji Tian as the future mistress of the Pei family, even if the queen mother is angry with the Pingkang Palace again, she will not assassinate the Pingkang Palace before solving the threat of Pei Yuanjiang. everyone.

  The second brother of the Empress Dowager's natal family believed in her younger sister, and believed that she would keep the Prince Pingkang's family as a bargaining chip against Pei Yuanjiang.

  Being cautious, he immediately told his elder brother the news, and then the two brothers went to the palace together to meet their direct sister.

  People are sitting in the palace, and the pot comes from the sky. The empress dowager, who was in a good mood, suddenly turned from sunny to thunderstorm after hearing what her two elder brothers told her.

  She sent someone to call Eunuch Huang and asked him if he had been out of the palace yesterday.

  Eunuch Huang is old and has reached the age of going out of the palace to provide for the elderly. The queen mother prepared a house for him outside the palace and rewarded him with a lot of money for the sake of having been with her for so many years.

  Now he has handed over half of his errands to Eunuch Zheng, newly promoted by the Queen Mother, so he doesn't stay in the palace every day.

   But coincidentally, Eunuch Huang really never left the palace yesterday, and some of his disciples and grandchildren, as well as other eunuchs who lived close to him, could testify to him.

  He has never been out of the palace, so the Eunuch Huang who appeared in the Prince's Mansion of Pingkang County before is undoubtedly a Xibei product.

   That is to say, the imperial guards guarding the Pingkang County Prince's Mansion were deceived by others, and the Pingkang County Prince's family was really rescued.

  The moment she came to this conclusion, the empress dowager who was sitting on the phoenix chair swept down the cups, plates and bowls beside her. With a hideous pretty face, she cursed fiercely, "Idiot!"

  The empress dowager's natal brothers were also very angry, but they still had to persuade the angry empress dowager, lest she only focus on losing her temper and forget to find a way to make up for it.

   After they persuaded the queen mother a few words, the queen mother finally forced herself to calm down.

  She took a deep breath, "I'll leave it to the two elder brothers to track down the whereabouts of the family. I always feel that Pei Yuanjiang's single-minded stupid big man can't do it."

   I have to say that this person's brain is really good enough, and she has indeed done all her homework on her enemies. She deserves to be a powerful woman who has the ability to kill the old emperor and listen to politics behind the curtain to be the actual ruler of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

  When her two elder brothers were reminded by her, they immediately remembered the theft in the capital some time ago, and they also picked on the theft of their Zhuangzi and the official warehouse.

  The eldest brother of the Empress Dowager pondered for a moment, "Could it be Xie?"

   "It's possible." The queen mother was a little angry when she thought of the Wang family and the Qin family that had been captured by the Xie family one after another.

  Speaking of it, this Xie family is really a bit evil, and I don't know if they did it on purpose, but every time they pick on the forces she has managed to recruit.

  The plans failed one after another, and time and time again all efforts were wasted. Although the Queen Mother has not met Xie Yuan yet, she is already full of hatred for Xie Yuan.

She reminded her two elder brothers, "Although Mrs. Xie is the most likely one, don't ignore Mrs. Zhao. Zhao Zongrong is a man who is used to picking stitches and taking advantage of others when they are fighting. Underestimate."

  The elder brother of the queen mother frowned slightly when he heard the words, "He and the Pei family have just had a fight, and now he is mobilizing the Pingkang family, is it to use them to threaten Pei Yuanjiang, the lord of the Pei family?"

"Even if it's not a threat, if you put that family in front of the battle, you'll still be disgusted by Pei Yuanjiang and Ji Tian." The Empress Dowager took a sip of the warm tea brought by the maid, "What's more, if you operate Properly, using them may also be used to split the Pei family from within."

   Didn't Pei Yuanjiang regard Ji Tian as the future mistress of the Pei family? She wants to see, when the time comes for him to choose between beauty and country, whether he wants beauty or country.
