The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

"As long as the emperor wants the empress dowager to live, I think I still have a chance to escape from the capital. The emperor should quickly prepare a fast horse, otherwise you will have to collect the empress dowager's body now." Wang Liu brought the dagger closer to the empress dowager's neck.

The Queen Mother's face turned pale with fear.

The emperor is not her biological son, and he probably wishes she were dead now.

The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor with a pleading look in her eyes, "Your Majesty, please release him and prepare a fast horse for him."

"It's not impossible to prepare fast horses for him, but the military power is in the hands of my mother?" Xie Ci'an hesitated to speak.

The reason why Xie Ci'an did not completely break off with the Queen Mother was simply because he was afraid that the Queen Mother still held the military power of Mobei given to her by the late Emperor.

When the late emperor was dying, the empress dowager had been guarding his side. She didn't know how she managed to trick the military power of Mobei into her hands. Although there were not many people, the terrain of Mobei was dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack.

This is also one of the reasons why he has never touched the Queen Mother.

As long as the Queen Mother's minions can be pulled out, she will surely not be able to stir up any trouble.

Wang Liu was already getting impatient. If he continued to delay, the Emperor would only mobilize more people, which would be like catching a turtle in a jar. He brought the dagger in his hand a few inches closer to the Queen Mother's neck. "I'm afraid the Queen Mother will die with me. But with such an important figure as the Queen Mother by my side, my death will not be in vain."

The Queen Mother could clearly feel the pain in her neck. Her face was pale and she spoke with an anxious tone, "As long as Your Majesty can save me, I will give you all my military power."

"Mother, please give me the military power first so that I can feel at ease." Xie Ci'an's eyes were indifferent.

The Queen Mother clenched her fingers into fists, her face extremely grim. "If I hand over the military power to the Emperor, what will happen if the Emperor doesn't save me?"

"Now it is the Queen Mother who is begging me for help, and this bandit was rescued into the palace by the Queen Mother. Then the Queen Mother should find a way to solve it herself." Xie Ci'an left a word and leaned lazily on the armchair, looking at Wang Liu and the Queen Mother leisurely.

Gu Jianchu stayed beside Xie Ci'an.

[Why would the late emperor hand over the military power of Mobei to the Empress Dowager for no reason?]

Gu Jianchu didn't know before that the empress dowager still had the military power of Mobei in her hands. She just thought that the emperor was so indulgent of the empress dowager in causing so many troubles because he was concerned about the public opinion.

The system, which had not popped up for a long time, finally came out when Gu Jianchu raised the question.

[Isn't that simple? I took it secretly. At that time, the Emperor was marching towards the capital with unstoppable momentum. The Empress Dowager knew that she and the Emperor were at loggerheads. Add to that the incident with the Emperor's mother, and Xie Ci'an's ascension to the throne would not make things easy for him. In desperation, she thought of using the military power and territory of Mobei to control Xie Ci'an and preserve her own wealth and glory for the rest of her life.]

At the time, the Empress Dowager had been tending to the late Emperor. No one else had the opportunity to visit, and the late Emperor was also seriously ill, so he had no chance to care for her. She stole away without anyone knowing, and she also copied the late Emperor's handwriting, writing an imperial edict and secretly affixing the late Emperor's imperial seal.

The Empress Dowager cleverly produced the imperial edict after the late Emperor's death, claiming it was written by the late Emperor himself. The handwriting was so similar, and since the late Emperor was no longer around, there was no evidence. Even if the Emperor and some of the court officials had doubts, what could they do? Could they actually die and ask the late Emperor for clarification?

[In addition, during that period, with internal and external troubles, the Emperor had no chance to reclaim the military power from the Empress Dowager. After the situation stabilized, the Empress Dowager gradually gained a firm foothold and she placed many spies in the court.]

Even the harem has a concubine planted by the Empress Dowager. As the Empress Dowager's influence grows, the Emperor can only slowly remove her minions. The Empress Dowager has reached this point today because of her own actions. If she hadn't done so, the military power in Mobei would have guaranteed her a lifetime of peace.

The system left these words and went offline silently.

Xie Ci'an was not surprised by what the system said.

Although his foolish father was a little stupid, he would not hand over the military power to a woman. The empress dowager had already seized the military power at that time, and no matter how she got it, it was of no avail.

After a fierce struggle between heaven and man, the Queen Mother was finally defeated. "Cuiwei went to the box in Aijia's bedroom and took the military talisman."

She could clearly feel Wang Liu's dagger rubbing against her neck. If she was a step late, the emperor's troops would arrive and Wang Liu would drag her down with him.

Cuiwei quickly took out the military token and handed it to Xie Ci'an.

Xie Ci'an stroked the military token, a faint smile on his lips, "My mother had handed over the military token a long time ago, so there is no need to be so frightened. Yunhe, have someone prepare a fast horse."

Yunhe received the order and went to do it immediately.

In just an incense stick of time, Yun He hurried back and said, "The emperor's express horse is ready and is now outside the Cining Palace."

"You have already prepared the emperor's express horse, why don't you prepare some travel expenses for me? Otherwise, I can't guarantee that the queen mother can come back alive and well." Wang Liu remained vigilant and hid his body behind the queen mother.

The Queen Mother can take care of the money herself without asking the Emperor for help. She looked at Cuiwei and said, "Go to my bedroom and pack up all my gold, silver and valuables for him."

"I didn't expect the Empress Dowager to cooperate so well. In this case, Your Majesty might as well order all your soldiers to withdraw and move far away from the Cining Palace." Wang Liu took the gold and silver jewelry handed to him by Cuiwei and gave orders to Xie Ci'an.

Xie Ci'an stood up and protected Gu Jianchu behind him, taking her to hide aside. It seemed that the guards who had just surrounded the yard had withdrawn.

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, please accompany me. As long as you cooperate and obey, I promise that I will never harm your life." Wang Liu warned the Queen Mother.

"Okay." The Queen Mother quickly agreed and walked out of the palace with Wang Liu.

Before leaving the Cining Palace, Wang Liu did not forget to look around to make sure that there was no one around. Then he pushed the Queen Mother to the corridor and signaled her to get on the horse.

Seeing the Queen Mother climbing clumsily onto the horse, Wang Liu anxiously grabbed the Queen Mother's collar and threw her onto the horse's back. The Queen Mother was so frightened that she hugged the horse's body. Just as Wang Liu was about to jump onto the horse, a dagger flew out from the dark and stabbed Wang Liu in the abdomen.

Before Wang Liu could react, a figure fell from the palace wall, kicked him in the chest, and then put a long sword against Wang Liu's neck.

Xie Ci walked out of the Cining Palace leisurely and straightened his sleeves slowly.

【Wang Liu had never expected the Emperor to know Kung Fu.】

【The typical villain dies because he has no brains. 】

Chongfeng twisted the dagger in Wang Liu's hand and pulled out the dagger that the emperor had stabbed into Wang Liu's abdomen. After a careful inspection, he confirmed that Wang Liu had no other weapons hidden on him. He handed him over to the guards beside him and said, "I am late in rescuing you, Your Majesty. I hope you will punish me."
