Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder

Madam Ye Si was half-forced to leave the palace, and everyone from other palaces who were trying to find out the news saw it, including the emperor's men.

The young emperor asked the chief eunuch An Dahai, "What do you mean by Renshou Palace?"

An Dahai had no idea what Ye Zhiqiu meant, but he knew what the emperor wanted to hear: "What else could it mean? He must be embarrassed to bow to the emperor, so he deliberately slapped the Ye family in the face for the emperor to see. Maybe Renshou Palace will send someone over soon."

The emperor was very satisfied with An Dahai's answer. It was worth it that he secretly ordered people to make things difficult for Renshou Palace. This was the result after only a few days of hardship. If he had known earlier, he should have taken action earlier.

When the master and servant were feeling happy, a young eunuch came running in and said that the Empress Dowager from Renshou Palace was coming.

The emperor thought Ye Zhiqiu came to ask for peace, and his mood immediately became better.

"The emperor is in a good mood? It seems I came at the wrong time." Ye Zhiqiu heard the emperor's laughter outside the Taiji Hall, but it was a pity that she had to be a destroyer.

"Mother, what brings you here?" Although the emperor has not yet taken power and cannot control the power of the previous dynasty, he is the one who has the final say in his own Taiji Hall and is not even willing to pretend to be affectionate.

"Baizhi, slap her!" Since the emperor couldn't hit him, he would move his lackeys first and collect some interest. Taiji Hall also contributed to Baizhi's beating, so letting her do it was a good way to vent her anger.

"Yes." Bai Zhi quickly walked in front of An Dahai and slapped him in the face with both hands. The force was so strong that each slap left a slap mark, and in the blink of an eye, An Dahai's face was slightly swollen.

Ever since he became the number one eunuch beside the emperor, no one dared to attack him for a long time. His heart was full of anger, but he dared not and could not resist without the emperor's order.

The emperor didn't react. He was expecting Ye Zhiqiu to make peace one second, but he dared to touch his people the next second. This was really too much. He would not let the Ye family and Ye Zhiqiu go.

"Stop, you lowly bastard. Who told you to do that in the Taiji Hall?" the emperor shouted, hoping that other eunuchs and guards would come to help.

Ye Zhiqiu smiled gently: "I asked her to move her hand, but you didn't hear me clearly. Do you want me to repeat it again?" After that, she drew out the long sword in her hand, cut the emperor's hat with the tip of the sword, and then slowly moved the tip of the sword from top to bottom, finally stopping at the throat.

If the tip of the sword had advanced an inch further, the emperor would have been covered in blood in the Taiji Hall. With his life threatened, the emperor no longer cared about his dignity as a ruler and shouted in fear, "Help! Someone, come quickly, protect me!"

An Dahai was a step slower in reaction. He was annoyed and shouted louder than the emperor, making a gesture to save him. Bai Zhi would never give him a chance and kicked him away.

Ye Zhiqiu moved the sword in his hand: "Emperor, order them not to move. If anyone dares to move, don't blame me for moving my sword too. Don't blame me for the shaking hands."

The emperor did not dare to move. An Dahai's eyes flickered and he asked the others who had rushed in to leave. The fewer people who knew about this embarrassing scene, the better. However, he could drive away the palace guards and eunuchs and maids, but he could not drive away the ministers in the court.

Not only were the two regents powerful, but the other officials were not something a eunuch like him could offend. He could only apologize to the emperor silently in his heart and step back a little. His loyalty to the emperor depended on the situation.

The Empress Dowager of Renshou Palace was mad. She might not dare to kill the emperor, but she had no problem killing him. He had not lived enough and did not want to die yet.

The emperor was in no mood to care about the eunuchs around him at this time. He pointed at Ye Zhiqiu angrily and said, "Grandmaster, uncle, you are here at the right time. The queen mother is crazy and wants to kill me. Get rid of her quickly."

The Grand Tutor looked at Prince Jin and motioned for him to speak first.

The King of Jin cursed inwardly that he was an old fox, knowing to let him go first at this time, but not knowing to give way when fighting for power. As the emperor's elder, the empress dowager's brother-in-law, and the patriarch of the royal family, he really couldn't shirk it.

While thinking of a solution, he saluted Ye Zhiqiu and the emperor slowly and calmly: "Sister-in-law, I wonder what made you angry? The emperor is the ruler of a country. Even if he is wrong, you shouldn't point your sword at him. Put down the sword first."

"So what if I am the emperor's mother? Confucianism says that filial piety is the most important virtue. If the emperor makes a mistake, it is not okay for the elders to teach him a lesson, right? Master, what do you think?"

The Imperial Tutor cursed in his heart, but smiled and stroked his beard: "The Queen Mother is the elder, so she can naturally educate her son, but Your Majesty is the ruler of a country, you..."

"Shut up, acknowledge that I'm your elder, and you can beat and scold him, that's all." Ye Zhiqiu was not here to reason with them. She came here just to cause trouble. She would definitely not kill the emperor, but she could make him lose face.

In order to achieve her goal, before coming she deliberately asked someone to delay Li's steps and prevent her from coming to rescue people. Although it would be useless for her to come, the less trouble the better.

The persuasions of Prince Jin and the Grand Tutor were in vain. The emperor was counting on the arrival of another minister, the prime minister. Unfortunately, the old prime minister was old and had slow legs. He had to wait until Li arrived at the Taiji Hall before he arrived, dragging his sick body.

"Ye, you bitch, you dare to hurt my son, I will fight you to the death." When Li entered the room, she saw the emperor being pointed at by a sword. She was so angry that she wanted to rush over to save him.

"Mother, please come and save me." Seeing that no one else could be trusted, the emperor placed all his hopes on his mother.

Ye Zhiqiu would not give her a chance to step forward, and raised his eyebrows: "The sword in my hand is the Longquan Sword bestowed by the late emperor. It can kill tyrants and treacherous ministers. If I really kill the emperor by mistake, I will not be responsible."

"What are you going to do?" Li didn't dare to move.

Ye Zhiqiu beat the emperor in front of several powerful figures, and then told him the reason. She was the emperor's biological mother, and the emperor did not take the initiative to pay his respects to the Renshou Palace on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, and even had people withhold the Renshou Palace's share of the allowance. Wasn't this unfilial?

The emperor thought about what he had secretly ordered people to do, and he felt guilty in his heart but pretended to be aggrieved on the surface: "I didn't do it."

"You didn't, so it was Li who did it? The son has taken the mother's place, so it's not wrong to beat you."

Li didn't dare to say anything. She only regretted that she failed to poison Ye Zhiqiu to death. She would find a more powerful poison when she returned. The harem only needed one empress dowager.

The Prince of Jin and the Grand Tutor looked at each other. It was normal for the Li family to make some small moves, but the Ye family dared to be so strong. Did something happen to the Ye family? Was there an invasion from foreign enemies at the border, or did the Queen Mother want to change someone to be the emperor?

No matter which situation it is, it is not what they want to see.

Ye Zhiqiu didn't care what the group of old foxes thought. After the fight, she should leave. There was no food to eat in Taiji Hall, so she should go back to her Renshou Palace as soon as possible.

The emperor waited until she was far away before he sat down on the ground. He not only did not appreciate the ministers' concern and greetings, but also cursed without caring about his image. If you didn't stand up just now, what's the point of saying nice things afterwards? You are not a good person.
