The strongest nine thousand years old on earth, I will take charge of the harem on behalf of the emp

Weiyang Palace:

Qingying is reporting the latest situation to Empress Yingyue.

"Your Majesty, that Prince Zhao Yingguang really wants to kill and silence the witnesses."

"However, Bai Xue and Li Changsheng arrived in time and successfully rescued the Dragon and Tiger Gang leader, Dalong!"

"Moreover, that big dragon has also confessed that King Zhao Yingguang is in the Divine Capital and has secretly instructed the two brothers to take over the Feilong Gang's territory at all costs!"

After hearing Qingying's report, Empress Ying Yue couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Strange! My uncle's fiefdom is the ancient land of Zhao. The land there is fertile and the products are plentiful. He should be rich enough to rival a country. Why would he be interested in the Flying Dragon Gang's mere trifles?"

Qingying carefully considered her words and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for daring to speculate. The King of Zhao may have ulterior motives!"

Ying Yue pondered for a moment, his expression somewhat solemn.

"Qingying, are you saying that Prince Zhao intends to get his hands on the secret passage in the underground palace that the Feilong Gang used to imprison the palace maids in collusion with Mu Zhong?"

Qingying didn't answer.

After all, this involves the secrets within the royal family.

There are some things that His Majesty can say, but she cannot.

At least, it can't be said openly.

Of course, she did not deny the speculation about Empress Ying Yue.

It's a kind of default.

Yingyue and Qingying have known each other since childhood, so they naturally understand this kind of tacit understanding.

She changed the subject calmly.

"Qingying, there's something you might not know. Xie Chen from the Imperial Hospital suddenly came to visit today for some reason. He said there's been a cold epidemic in the palace recently, and asked me to take care of myself!"

Qingying looked surprised and asked, "Imperial Physician Xie Chen? Why is he here with Your Majesty for no reason?"

Ying Yue said, "I was also puzzled at first, but later I sent someone to investigate. Guess what?"

"Xie Chen went to Kunning Palace early in the morning, came out in the morning, and came to me in the afternoon!"

Qingying asked, "Your Majesty, are you saying that Xie Chen was following the Queen Mother's orders?"

When mentioning the Queen Mother, Empress Ying Yue's eyes flickered, revealing a barely perceptible hatred.

"Who else could it be but her?"

"Our Queen Mother has always wanted to dethrone me and take power alone."

"This time, they sent the imperial physician here. They must be trying to repeat their old tricks and poison me like they did my mother."

"In my opinion, the King of Zhao's secret entry into the Divine Capital was most likely at the Queen Mother's behest!"

"They can't wait any longer and are starting to get excited!"

When he said this, Ying Yue clenched his fists, his cold eyes filled with rage.

It turns out that Empress Ying Yue’s mother was not Empress Dowager Jiang Nanfeng.

She was just a palace maid who served the late emperor in his daily life.

Later, the late emperor visited her when he was drunk.

Later, when the palace maid became pregnant with the emperor's seed, she was given the title of Concubine Hui because of her status as a mother.

Unfortunately, she went into labor suddenly two months before her due date, resulting in heavy bleeding and death during labor.

Before giving birth, the then Queen Jiang Nanfeng sent her a bowl of calming soup.

Jiang Nanfeng has no children and is known for being jealous.

Therefore, the murderer of Concubine Hui was most likely her.

However, the imperial physician who was in charge of prescribing the medicine suddenly committed suicide.

Even the soup bowl containing the tranquilizer was missing.

Death has no evidence.

In addition, the previous emperor had just ascended the throne.

Queen Jiang Nanfeng's father held the high position of Prime Minister, had countless students and former officials, and had great influence in the court.

Without solid evidence, even as an emperor, he could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger.

Even the late emperor was like this.

Ying Yue’s current situation is even worse than before.

The Queen Mother is watching with eager eyes.

The princes in various places had ulterior motives.

And the Xiao family, who holds military power and whose achievements are so great that they threaten the emperor.

There are also places where corrupt officials are rampant and war is raging.

……

Just dealing with all this made Ying Yue feel exhausted.

Not to mention thoroughly investigating the truth of what happened and avenging his mother.

Qingying knew the pain in Yingyue's heart.

When she looked at Ying Yue again, he was no longer the high and mighty Majesty.

But she is a little girl who has no way to seek revenge and is lonely and helpless.

"Yue'er, don't worry. Anyone who killed your aunt will be punished, one by one. No one will escape!"

Well, Qingying and Yingyue are not just a monarch-subject relationship.

Or cousins whose blood is thicker than water.

It turned out that Concubine Hui died of childbirth complications.

But the baby girl survived.

In order to fulfill his own plan, the late emperor announced to the public that the baby was a boy.

Named Ying Zhao.

It means that the sun is shining brightly.

This is Ying Yue’s official name.

The late emperor even registered him under the name of Empress Jiang Nanfeng in order to obtain the status of "eldest son".

Of course, it is just a name, not something to be taken care of.

For safety reasons, the late emperor also sent his confidant to secretly bring Hui Fei's elder sister Liu Yueru into the palace.

Used to take care of Yingyue.

Moreover, Liu Yueru was with her one-year-old daughter at the time.

That is Qingying!

Liu Yueru treats Yingyue as her own daughter, even closer than her own biological daughter.

In fact, even the name Yingyue was given by Liu Yueru.

To commemorate her mother Liu Yue'e, whom she had never met.

……

Just as the sisters Yingyue and Qingying were expressing their feelings to each other.

A dark shadow suddenly flashed outside the window.

Seeing this, Qingying immediately drew her sword.

A brilliant arc of light shot out of the window.

When the black shadow saw that he had been discovered, he did not stop for a moment and quickly retreated backwards.

Qingying wanted to chase after him.

However, he was stopped by Ying Yue.

"Don't chase the poor bandits!"

"Qingying, take the people from the Imperial City Bureau and go to Prince Zhao's mansion to arrest him immediately!"

Qingying said worriedly, "Your Majesty, what about you..."

Before she could finish her words, Ying Yue interrupted:

"You can go without worry. No one in this palace dares to attack me openly!"

Qingying saw the empress inadvertently releasing her kingly aura when she spoke.

He no longer hesitated, clasped his fists in response, and walked out of the palace with his sword in hand.

at the same time:

The entire Prince Zhao's Mansion was shrouded in a solemn and murderous shadow.

Zhao Kuan, the double-swordsman with one arm broken, has returned with his remaining troops.

At this time, he was kneeling on the ground, asking for forgiveness.

King Zhao Yingguang's face turned pale as he shouted angrily, "Useless trash, you can't even do such a small thing. What's the point of me keeping you?"

After saying that, he planned to draw his sword and kill all these trash.

However, at this moment, a guard came hurriedly to report.

"Your Majesty, news from the palace!"

When Ying Guo took the secret letter and read it, his expression immediately turned gloomy.

"Yingqi, pack your things quickly, we have to leave immediately!"

Ying Qi is the son of Ying Guang.

According to the rules of Dawu, the princes had to send their sons to the capital to serve as officials.

In fact, it means being a proton.

Prince Zhao Yingguang had two main purposes for secretly entering the capital this time.

First: He saw that the Tiandao League was in Yannan, causing war everywhere.

The Xiao family, a prominent military family in Dawu, is going to lead troops to quell the rebellion.

So, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity.

I came to Shendu to meet some old friends and to plan the underground forces here in preparation for future uprisings.

However, judging from the current situation, this purpose has failed.

The second is to take away his son, Ying Qi, who was left as a hostage in Shendu.

Ying Qi looked troubled and said, "Father, Bai Li has gone to visit a friend and hasn't returned yet. Should I go and inform…"

"Snapped!"

Before Ying Qi could finish his words, a loud slap came towards him.

"You are too soft-hearted. Once you inform Baili, both my father and I will never be able to leave the capital again in this lifetime!"

After receiving a slap in the face, Ying Qi became completely obedient and never mentioned anything about his sister, Princess Baili, again.

Ying Guang looked at Zhao Kuan who was still kneeling on the ground and said coldly:

"Zhao Kuan, I'm giving you a chance to redeem yourself. Give me everyone in this house who has seen me..."

Having said this, he stopped talking.

Instead, he made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Zhao Kuan was frightened when he heard this.

Based on his understanding of his own prince, the people who would be killed also included him, Zhao Kuan.

Ying Guang saw what Zhao Kuan was thinking, so he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

"I will take good care of your wife, children and elders in Handan!"

This is a promise, but also a threat!

Zhao Kuan had no choice.

I can only sacrifice myself to protect my family!

"Yes, Zhao Kuan is willing to go through fire and water for the prince, even if it means death!"

Hearing Zhao Kuan's promise, Ying Guang showed a smug smile.

Immediately, under the protection of Deadpool, he got on a very luxurious carriage and headed straight out of the city.

Not long after they left, Zhao Kuan brought his assassins, wielding butcher knives, and started a massacre of the maids and servants in the mansion.

In order to destroy the body, the entire house was burned down.

Watching the mansion being burned down, Ying Guang's sinister eyes flickered.

"Master, how many years do you think it will take me to return after leaving the Divine Capital this time?"

"Your Majesty, everything is destined by heaven!"

Master Kongxiang made a mysterious move. He looked at the raging flames that were gradually moving away, clasped his hands together, and silently chanted the Buddha's name.

"Amitabha, sin, sin!"

Ying Guang became dissatisfied when he saw that he did not get the answer he wanted.

However, this Master Kongxiang is a high-ranking Buddhist monk.

At the same time, he is also a genuine heavenly-level grandmaster.

Even though he is a prince, he cannot be offended easily.

"Master, I promise you that within five years at the latest and three years at the fastest, I will return to this divine capital!"

"When that time comes, I will be the Lord of Dawu, and the White Horse Temple will be renamed the Great Compassion Temple. We will rule the world together!"

Speaking of this vision for the future, he couldn't help but laugh heartily with pride...
