The room suddenly became quiet like death.

Cao Jixiang's smile slowly stiffened on his face. He said this, but the sudden silence of the two people in front of him suddenly realized what he said.

"I don't mean that..." The two people in front of him looked at him, and he suddenly felt panic: "I mean, if King Yi ascends the throne in the future, will he watch the Supreme Emperor suffer in Nangong..."

Shi Heng's eyes were rolling, and Xu Youzhen's eyes were also rolling.

"The Marquis met the Empress Dowager today. What does the Empress Dowager mean?" Xu Youzhen ignored Cao Jixiang and asked Shi Heng directly.

"What can the Queen Mother say?" Shi Heng said slowly: "Mr. Xu, you are asking this strangely!"

"Whether it is King Yi or King Xiang, you have to pass the Empress Dowager's level!" Xu Youzhen said sinisterly: "No matter what we just said, as long as the Empress Dowager is unwilling, Yu Qian's army will not be able to kill people, and Xu doesn't know the strength of the Marquis. However, I think no matter how high the palace wall is, I am afraid that the Marquis' subordinates will not be able to withstand the attack of the army for how long!"

"Why don't you go and ask the Queen Mother's meaning?"

Cao Jixiang said softly, "At this time, the Empress Dowager is afraid that she hasn't fallen asleep yet. However, if we go to see the Empress Dowager like this, will the Empress Dowager feel like we are...forcing the palace?"

The muscles in the corners of Shi Heng's eyes were beating slightly, which made him look a little hideous under the light. When he saw Xu Youzhen near the palace gate, he did not expect that the conversation with him would go to such a point. Cao Jixiang's intrusion made this matter look even more like the conspiracy of the three of them.

It's not like this, it's simply a conspiracy, a conspiracy that concerns the lives and future of the three of them here.

He was thinking, and a trace of evil light could not help but show his eyes. Xu Youzhen was a civil servant, killing him was just like killing a chicken. It would be a bit troublesome to solve Cao Jixiang. He had a lot of sons and grandsons in the palace. If he died, he would be in trouble in the palace, but if he didn't want to get involved in this matter, these two people would have to die.

Xu Youzhen was extremely clever. When he saw Shi Heng's eyes flashed with fierce light, he immediately knew what the other party was thinking about now. He immediately spoke: "What does Eunuch Cao say? How is this called forcing the palace? Eunuch Cao is in the palace and has a high position and power. If Eunuch Cao wants to force the palace, he will not need the guards of the Marquis of Shi. As for this official, he is also a close minister of King Yi. It is also a filial piety of King Yi. How can he force the palace to force the palace?

Shi Heng felt a stern in his heart. He almost forgot that Xu Youzhen was sent by King Yi. If he died at his own hands, he was afraid that he would not be able to pay the money from King Yi. In the future, King Yi ascended the throne, and he would be finished once he turned over the old account.

However, what are the benefits of surrendering to King Yi? He is in charge of the imperial guards in the palace. If King Yi really enters the palace and becomes the emperor, he will definitely not be able to stay in this position. If he does not eliminate himself, he will have already established a contribution. In such an important position, he can only give it to his confidant.

With almost a few thoughts, he understood his ideas. Yes, although he was valued by His Majesty, His Majesty is now terminally ill and may die at any time. It would be of no benefit to him that he killed the close ministers of King Yi and cleaned up Cao Jixiang for him. As long as the descendants of Emperor Xuan are still sitting on the dragon throne, then what he did is worthy of His Majesty who is about to make a fortune and also to himself.

It is too late to surrender to King Yi, and the best result is to be without any punishment. Moreover, it is almost inevitable that King Yi will be excluded and treated coldly after he ascended the throne. Once the emperor is the emperor and his minister, he will never use it.

However, what Cao Jixiang just said, supporting the Supreme Emperor seems to have this.

The Supreme Emperor is in the Nangong at this moment. Now the only person in the palace is Cao Jixiang's people. It is easy to save the Supreme Emperor. Once the Supreme Emperor is restored successfully, as a minister who supports him, he holds the imperial guards. The Supreme Emperor does not think that someone like him can be used. If he wants to sit firmly on this dragon throne, he must rely on himself.

The same is true for Cao Jixiang. If the Supreme Emperor is restored and Cao Jixiang controls the palace, the Supreme Emperor will not be able to find someone to replace him in a short time. Moreover, facing the imperial officials, the Supreme Emperor has a lot to do. As his arms, hawks, and lackeys, he and Cao Jixiang are obviously very useful.

As for King Yi?

He glanced at Xu Youzhen with a bright look, and was afraid he would be wronged. Anyway, you father and son are all together, there is not much difference between the Supreme Emperor and the King of Yi. It is impossible to have a few years later that King of Yi will sit on the throne again.

"The Empress Dowager's side, don't go!" Shi Heng repeatedly showed a decisive expression: "I can roughly guess what the Empress Dowager is thinking. I think the one we should go to at this moment is Nangong!"

"You mean..." Xu Youzhen showed a look of surprise on her face: "Please go out of Nangong?"

"How can you two be so mother-in-law and mother-in-law get what you can do!"

Once he had made up his mind, Shi Heng immediately became very firm and decisive: "Cao Jixiang, you said this. Could it be that you can still retreat at this moment? You and I know what your Majesty is in his heart. If you dare to turn against him now, then there will be no need for someone to splatter here today!"

"When did I say I'm backing down!" Cao Jixiang's scalp hard: "I'm just worried about the Empress Dowager's side, it will look ugly then!"

"The rice is cooked and cooked, what's the ugly thing! She has to admit it even if she doesn't recognize it!" Shi Heng said fiercely: "They are all descendants of Emperor Xuan. What's the difference for her? If King Xiang really covets the throne, he would probably die long ago without a burial place!"

"Mr. Xu, what do you mean?" Shi Heng looked at Xu Youzhen maliciously: "After all, this is something that happened in the palace. If you don't explain it to the officials of the court, I'm afraid someone will misunderstand me and Eunuch Cao!"

This is not a result for me!

Xu Youzhen felt a little crying but no tears. Why did things develop to this point as they were said? Don’t you need to make a long-term plan? Besides, I surrendered to King Yi and the Crown Prince. Why did I become the one who supports the Supreme Emperor in a blink of an eye? Does the Supreme Emperor know that there is someone like me?

He would never say these complaints in his heart at this moment no matter what. He knew that even if he showed a little hesitation, the two people in front of him would probably kill him without hesitation.
