When Liuguang heard this, he no longer cared about the two women who were seeking death, and hurriedly used his lightness skills to run towards Mingyue Tower.

When the Minister of Revenue saw Liuguang running away, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief, bent down, supported his thighs with his hands, and gasped for breath.

"Oh my god!"

"My old arms and legs will fall apart if I run two more times."

Mrs. Jiang Si and Mrs. Jiang Wu listened to the conversation between the two, and their eyes lit up instantly. This is the Shangshu! They had never seen such an important official before!

And this man actually has an extremely powerful master!? He was able to stop the emperor from his rage and murderous intent. This Shangshu must be someone quite influential.

After much thought, they could only think of the Minister of Personnel. After all, in their eyes, only someone like him who was in charge of the transfer of officials across the country would be so powerful. The two looked at each other and surrounded him in an instant.

"Oh! Which department are you from?"

"Why is it so hard?"

"Your Majesty, what are you doing running around at your age? When we see Your Majesty, we will definitely have a good talk with you."

The Minister of Revenue looked at the two women with some surprise, "Who are you?"

The two men instantly puffed out their chests and said proudly, "We are the Empress Dowager's family."

"I am the fourth sister-in-law of the Empress Dowager, and the fourth aunt of His Majesty."

"As for me! I am the fifth sister-in-law of the Empress Dowager, and the fifth aunt of the current emperor."

The Minister of Revenue was even more confused. "Empress Dowager? How come I didn't know? When did an Empress Dowager appear in the palace?"

"I'm afraid the two ladies are talking in their sleep."

The two of them quickly explained, "The Empress Dowager is your Majesty's biological mother! She is currently living in the Cining Palace. We came here to visit the Empress Dowager."

"That's right! We are the Jiang family!"

"Jiang Rong! Old Marquis Jiang, do you know? The Empress Dowager is none other than Jiang Erlan, the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family. My poor sister-in-law was murdered by a traitor, and her child was switched at birth. She knew nothing about it and doted on that beast for over 20 years. In the end, she was nearly killed by a family that was worse than a beast."

"If it weren't for the mother-in-law who noticed something was wrong and quickly rescued the person, Your Majesty would probably never see his biological mother again."

"Yes! You don't know, Your Majesty is the most filial person. After learning about his life experience, he first sought revenge, and then began to look for his family. Now he has finally found his mother and immediately brought her to the palace to take good care of her. We relatives also followed him back to Kyoto."

"Yes! Yes! The Empress Dowager can't leave us. We, the sisters-in-law, have taken care of her all the way. Now she misses her even more."

"Isn't this an invitation for us to come to the palace and reminisce about the past?"

"And my mother-in-law and father-in-law are all in the palace."

"I have to say, His Majesty is incredibly kind to our Jiang family."

"Oh right! You haven't told me which ministry you're in? Are you the Minister of Personnel? Let me tell you, my son is both intelligent and brave. He's been studying since he was young. His Majesty praised him a few days ago. It's a pity that he was implicated and didn't take the imperial examination. That's why he never became an official!"

"My son is both intelligent and brave, and a handsome man! And my husband is even smarter than anyone before him and will never be surpassed!"

The Minister of Revenue listened for a long time and finally understood what the two men meant. He scratched his ears and asked in disbelief, "So you want me to find a backdoor for your son and husband?"

The Fourth Lady waved her handkerchief awkwardly, "Sir, please don't be so harsh. What do you mean by using a backdoor? The entire world belongs to your Majesty, and you're a descendant of the Jiang family. How can that be considered a backdoor?"

"If you don't believe me, you can come with us to the Cining Palace to find the Empress Dowager!"

She and the other girl talked for a long time, but still no sedan chair came. She was so angry that she scolded the maid again.

"What a tactless person! Where's the sedan chair!?"

"Humph, this queen is so petty. She can't manage herself, and she's extremely jealous. She won't abdicate and let someone else take over."

My goodness, as soon as these two sentences were spoken, the Minister of Revenue quickly moved away from the two of them, fearing that these words would reach someone's ears and splash him with blood.

What else did the two ladies want to say? Liuguang came running over with a little baby in his arms.

"Master Shangshu, hurry up!"

"The Queen said! Just let us carry the princess over."

The Minister of Revenue looked at the giggling little girl in Liuguang's arms and bowed quickly, "Your humble servant greets the princess!"

Then he said, "Then let's go quickly. The master said that the princess can solve it, so Her Highness can definitely solve it. If it doesn't work, calm His Majesty first, and then go and ask the master to come over."

Liuguang nodded, and the man ran away hurriedly like a gust of wind.

The two were left alone, their faces tangled in the wind. What was the meaning of their previous conversation? Could the master the Minister of Personnel was referring to be the Empress of unknown origin?

It shouldn’t be!

What virtue and ability did that woman possess? How could she even deserve such a title and even interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty?

It was really hard to understand. At this moment, Old Lady Jiang and Old Master Jiang, supported by the palace maids, hurried over. They saw their two daughters-in-law standing there in a daze, with the maids kneeling on the ground beside them. Their hearts skipped a beat.

He walked over quickly.

"Why are you two here? What's going on with these maids?"

The two of them felt aggrieved instantly when they saw their father-in-law and mother-in-law, who were surrounded by servants in Jinyi Hua Mansion and had rosy faces.

The two old men saw that the palace was well-fed and well-nourished, and their health improved a lot, and even their legs and feet became more agile.

But they were left to suffer at home.

So the two of them exaggerated and recounted what had just happened, "Father-in-law! Do you think the Queen did the right thing? She's just a junior, how could she treat us elders like this?"

"Yes! My sister-in-law has clearly moved into the Cining Palace, which means she is the Empress Dowager. How come Your Majesty didn't announce it to the world and even let that woman of unknown origin participate in court affairs?"

"If you ask me, my sister-in-law should take good care of her son."

When Old Madam Jiang and Old Master Jiang heard this, they felt their vision go dark and their legs went weak.

They have been in the palace for so long, so naturally they have a clear understanding of the current situation!

If they behave themselves, Your Majesty might give them some benefits out of consideration for their blood relationship.

But if they acted like they did today and used their status as elders to pressure the Queen, the Jiang family would not only gain no benefits, but even their lives would be in danger.
