"She is... the emperor's uncle's servant, Zhu'er, and has never seen the princess yet." Ye Zhilan said.

Murong Mingzhu had no choice but to bow her head, "I have seen Your Highness the Princess."

"No gift."

Ye Youruo didn't look at Murong Mingzhu much, but said to Ye Zhilan: "My mother knows you are here, and she is waiting for you in the garden behind the palace. Uncle, come with me."

Walking through the Taoist path, bypass the Merit Monument, and entering the Enjoy Hall to walk back to a garden.

Murong Mingzhu didn't know what Ye Zhilan was going to do, so she naturally wouldn't be able to get in front of the Queen Mother.

Standing outside the garden cave gate, he stopped moving, "The prince went to see the queen mother, I would not follow him, and I would wait for the prince here."

Ye Zhilan glanced at her and smiled, "Okay, you can wait for me here, it will be fine soon. Youruo, you don't have to go in, I will go to see the Queen Mother by myself."

"Yes, the emperor's uncle." Ye Youruo was very obedient and stood outside the cave gate with Murong Mingzhu and didn't walk in.

Ye Zhilan walked into the garden and saw a middle-aged woman sitting in the pavilion after the flowers and trees were lush. Although she was already middle-aged, her face could easily see her former gloriousness. She only wore a simple white dress and a white jade hairpin was inserted into her bun. She was extremely simple and had no luxury.

"I've seen the Queen Mother." Ye Zhilan bent down slightly and had already bowed.

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, "Your Highness Ninth, don't have to be too polite."

At that time, Ye Zhilan ranked ninth and was called His Highness Ninth.

The Queen Mother still has a profound meaning as she was originally named.

Ye Zhilan disagreed and smiled and greeted, "I haven't seen each other for many years, how can the Queen Mother be happy?"

The Empress Dowager replied and smiled faintly, "The Ai family is very good, the Ai family knows, and Your Highness Ninth is also very good."

"I am indeed fine. I have all the blessings of the Queen Mother. I have assisted Your Majesty over the years. I have been worried and sighed. I dare not forget my duties and worked hard. I just want my moon to revive and the people will be safe."

Ye Zhilan said more than just a nice word, and even the Empress Dowager laughed out loud, "Your Highness Nine said so well, the Ai family is almost convinced."

With his thin lips curled up slightly, Ye Zhilan looked at the Empress Dowager and said slowly: "Does the Empress Dowager question me?"

"The Ai family dares not, and the life of the Ai family is still in the hands of His Highness Ninth. How dare the Ai family question His Highness? Whatever your Highness says is what you say." The Empress Dowager smiled unabashed, but what she said was unbelievable.

Ye Zhilan gently tapped the palm of his palm, and his smile on his lips did not diminish at all. "To this day, the Queen Mother still doesn't believe in me. If I want to have the throne at my fingertips, why bother with great effort?"

"Your Highness Ninth is afraid that he has forgotten his oath, right?"

The Empress Dowager's seemingly gentle and kind eyes fell on Ye Zhilan's face, and continued slowly, "The late emperor passed away, and the emperor made a will and the eldest prince succeeded to the throne, but His Highness Ninth dared to tamper with the will. How could you believe in you when you asked the Ai family?"

Ye Zhilan heard this and chuckled, "The late emperor is confused, is the empress dowager not confused? The eldest prince Ye Ziluo is not the empress dowager's biological son. His mother Feng Yingchun is very ambitious. It is not good for the empress dowager to succeed him. Then again, if it is good for the empress dowager, how could the empress dowager cooperate with me in the end? It seems that the king tampers with the will, but the one who tampers with the will seems to know that this king is alone. Haoer can ascend the throne, and the empress dowager is the greatest hero."

As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother's perfect smile finally cracked a corner.

Ye Zhilan is right.

She did it herself...

Feng Yingchun has been out of place with her since she entered the palace. She gave birth to a princess, but Feng Yingchun gave birth to a prince. If Ye Ziluo succeeded to the throne, Feng Yingchun would immediately become the Empress Dowager of the Virgin and be on an equal footing with her. Then she would not be able to escape the word "death".

Ye Zhilan would not let Ye Ziluo succeed to the throne, as her purpose is the same...

She had forgotten how Ye Zhilan convinced her, but after being moved by Ye Zhilan, she became obsessed with the will and dared to take the blame for the world and change the will.

The eldest prince Ye Ziluo was appointed as the emperor, and the ninth emperor's brother Ye Zhilan was appointed as the emperor.

Feng Yingchun and Ye Ziluo strongly opposed it, and the two sides were in a stalemate. In the end, they took a step back as Ye Zhilan planned, and made Ye Yuhao, the youngest prince, the emperor, and gave his mother to death.

Feng Yingchun and Ye Ziluo thought they won, and destroyed Ye Zhilan's succession, but they didn't know that this was the result of Ye Zhilan's real calculation.

With her support, Ye Zhilan successfully became the Prince of the Administration, surpassing Ye Ziluo with the title of the emperor.

After doing this, she thought she could get a good life, but what she didn't expect was that the first thing Ye Zhilan did to assist in government was to force her out of the palace.

She could only "voluntarily" come here to guard the tomb for the late emperor, and she would guard it for four years.

The Empress Dowager took a deep breath and said, "The Ai family is not as good as the Ninth Highness. She has been here for four years and finally figured out why the Ninth Highness did not kill the Ai family and did not let the Ai family return to the palace."

"Oh?" Ye Zhilan smiled slightly.

The Empress Dowager looked at Ye Zhilan and said slowly, "I don't want the Ai family to return to the palace because I don't want someone who can suppress you to check and balance you, and don't kill the Ai family, because the identity of the Empress Dowager of the Ai family is useful to you. This is the reason why you don't kill the Ai family, and you don't want the Ai family to return to the palace."

After hearing this, Ye Zhilan's thin lips raised its curves three more. "The Empress Dowager is thinking too much. I asked the Empress Dowager to guard the tomb just to show the world that the Empress Dowager and his wife have a deep affection. Of course, it is also to protect the Empress Dowager. I have installed countless shadow guards here. It has been four years, and the Empress Dowager has not been hurt at all, right?"

The Empress Dowager smiled coldly, "Why should your noble ninth prince be so polite? He would not go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble, and this is the tomb of the late emperor. You have a high position and a powerful position. If you are fine, you shouldn't have thought of Ai's family, right?"

I have already chosen the words very clearly, and it will be boring to pretend to be stupid.

Ye Zhilan smiled slightly and opened his thin lips lightly, "I am here to ask the Queen Mother to do a favor."

In the world, not many people could make Ye Zhilan say the word "please". The empress dowager was not surprised at all. Instead, she narrowed her phoenix eyes, "Your Highness Nine has kept the life of the Ai family. Now can you finally use the Ai family?"

The reason why Ye Zhilan didn't kill her back then was because of this. Now there is something to do, the empress dowager, and she needs to do it.

Ye Zhilan was about to speak, but the empress dowager sneered, "However, even if there is something really necessary for the Ai family to come forward, the Ai family will not help you."

Ye Zhilan didn't say anything else, and his deep eyes looked at the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager was not afraid of Ye Zhilan. Feng Tong, who was chilling, looked at him and did not give in to each other.

She refused to help Ye Zhilan not only hates him for breaking his word and drive her out of the palace, but also does not want to have any entanglements with Ye Zhilan. No one knows better than her how cruel and ruthless Ye Zhilan is.
