The Queen Mother always thought that she was too strong back then, which made people in the previous dynasty fear her. The Emperor was not her biological son, so it was natural for her to be jealous of her, so she only wanted to stay away from power.

Let’s go to Fo’en Temple.

Unexpectedly, the murderer back then was still at large, but the person who took the blame had his family ruined.

"Grandma Li~" The Queen Mother was furious. When Xiao Zhuo saw this, he quickly stopped her, "Grandma, think twice."

At this time, Xiao Zhuo put all the evidence in front of the Queen Mother. Of course, he did not want the Queen Mother to go to the imperial concubine to settle accounts now.

"Xiao Zhuo, you collected these evidences today and brought them to the Ai family. Your purpose is probably not just to make the Ai family settle accounts with the imperial concubine. Please tell me your plan."

The Queen Mother was really angry just now. Now that Xiao Zhuo interrupted her, she lost a lot of her rationality. When Grandma Li who had just entered the door saw this, she retreated out again.

Xiao Zhuo took a step forward and knelt in front of the Queen Mother, with a solemn expression on his face, "Emperor Grandma, what your grandson says next may be treasonous, but these are all grandson's true words. Please don't get so angry."

."

Yun Su looked at this scene and was shocked. He didn't know that Xiao Zhuo would tell everything about the Yun family today. Now he probably guessed what Xiao Zhuo was going to say to the Queen Mother. If this was really told, the Queen Mother would blame them.

But we were in a dilemma.

Yun Su grabbed Xiao Zhuo and said, "Sister is still waiting for us at home. Don't mess around."

Xiao Zhuo pushed his hand away with a firm look in his eyes, "It'll be okay."

This was the first time the Queen Mother saw such a serious expression on Xiao Zhuo's face. She pursed her lips and said, "What do you want to tell me? You might as well tell me."

The waiters have all been sent out, and now everyone except the three of them will know what they say next.

Xiao Zhuo looked at the Queen Mother, "Royal Grandmother, you know that your grandson was rescued in Ruizhou City, but you probably don't know that Ruizhou City has other disasters besides floods. Since the floods destroyed Ruizhou City,

After all the villages outside, God seemed to be joking with us. Not a drop of rain fell. Since then, Ruizhou has become a dry land. Food cannot grow and the price of food has become higher and higher.

The people were miserable, and some were so hungry that they ate tree bark. However, the imperial court ignored this and ordered all localities to pay grain taxes in order to celebrate the new crown prince's birthday. If not for the coal mines in Ruizhou, the grain taxes were exempted.

, in the case of food shortage, if they continue to pay food tax, the consequences will be serious, the imperial grandmother should know without me having to say more."

"There's actually a drought in Ruizhou?" The Queen Mother took a breath, she didn't know about this.

Xiao Zhuo also knew that the Queen Mother had been praying and offering incense at Fo'en Temple for a long time and paid little attention to external affairs. It was normal for her not to know what was going on in Ruizhou.

"Yes, in addition, there are locust plagues, plague, riots, and the earthquake in southern Hubei that collapsed the entire county and displaced the people. These fathers and emperors ignored it. Now as long as you send people to

In Ruizhou, if you go to the south of Hubei and ask anyone, you can know whether what your grandson said is true."

The Queen Mother did not expect that things would develop like this. She was far away in the capital and praying at Fo'en Temple. She really had no idea what was happening far away in Ruizhou.

She didn't know, it was normal, but as the emperor of a country, even if his informant did not send the news back, the officials would still send the memorial to Long's case. It was impossible for the emperor not to see it, and it was impossible not to notice it at all.

have no idea.

Here, either someone with intentions secretly intercepted the memorial, or the emperor simply didn't care about the lives of the people.

Thinking of the scene when she returned to the palace and saw tens of thousands of people kneeling on the street to see Xiao Zhuo, the Queen Mother already had an idea in her mind.

What Xiao Zhuo said was true, and she didn't even need to verify it.

"Your father, how could he become like this..." The Queen Mother gritted her teeth, "These are all his people. Without them, how could he be the king of a country."

"Royal Grandma, my grandson is telling you these things just because he wants to tell you that he has traveled to Ruizhou and knows how desperate and difficult the people are. He cannot bear to see them continue to suffer, so he

My grandson wants to fight for that position. In the past, my grandson would not care about such a position, but now, my grandson wants to fight for it, even if he fights to the death."

The Queen Mother was not too surprised by what Xiao Zhuo said. Instead, she hoped that Xiao Zhuo would fight for it.

"Whatever you want to do, just do it. The Aijia is your grandmother, so she will naturally support you. The imperial concubine faction is deeply rooted and has the emperor's backing. If you want to argue, it is not an easy matter." The Queen Mother reminded.

Seeing that the imperial grandmother was not angry, Xiao Zhuo knew that she had misunderstood that he was fighting for the crown prince's position, "Emperor's grandmother, what my grandson wants is his position, not a mere crown prince's position."

"You want to usurp the throne?" The Queen Mother's eyes widened, "Zhuo'er, he is your father. If you kill the king and usurp the throne, you will be reviled by the world and your spine will be stabbed."

Xiao Zhuo shook his head, "If my grandson wants it, he must sit on it openly and openly."

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, "Since you have decided, there is nothing to say about the Ai family. The people are the foundation of the country. If the foundation is shaken, the foundation will be crumbled. Jinyun has reached this generation and cannot be destroyed. But you have just come back, how can you

They are their opponents, so this road is not easy to follow."

"My grandson knows." Xiao Zhuo knew that this road was difficult to walk, "Grandma Huang, these evidences are the stepping stone for my grandson. The grandson was afraid that grandma Huang would be worried, so he told grandma first, but he also wanted to

Imperial Grandmother, do me a favor. What the Imperial Concubine is most worried about is whether the position of the new crown prince will be taken away by me. How about Imperial Grandmother reveal my intention to take away this position, so that my grandson can concentrate on doing other things well.

."

After making noises in the east and west, the Queen Mother fell in love with Xiao Zhuo even more.

There is no need to worry about the future of Jinyun not being prosperous in the future.

"The Ai family understands." The Queen Mother nodded and glanced at the sky outside, "It's getting late. You all should stay and have dinner. The Ai family will give them a clean slate for what happened to the Yun family back then. You can concentrate on it."

Do your thing, Aijia can still do this little thing."

Xiao Zhuo glanced at Yun Su and said, "Then I'll trouble Grandma Huang."

The two of them had dinner in the Queen Mother's Palace. Naturally, the emperor and the concubine also received the news. The concubine frowned slightly and said, "I heard that after the Queen Mother came back, she became very angry in the palace. Is the Queen Mother here?"

Do you blame the emperor for not protecting King Jing'an?"

The emperor lay on the dragon chair, his eyes narrowed slightly, "The Queen Mother has loved Xiao Zhuo since she was a child, and Xiao Zhuo was assassinated in front of her home. The Queen Mother will inevitably be anxious."

"But the Queen Mother doesn't see you, so she is blaming you. King Jing'an is now in good health and can leave the house. I'm afraid he will have to go to court tomorrow." The imperial concubine reminded without looking for any trace.

"What the noble concubine said makes sense." A trace of deep thought flashed in the emperor's eyes, "The queen mother has been praying at Fo'en Temple. Her return this time is sudden. I am afraid she still has a grudge against me because of what happened back then."

"Your Majesty, you are the king of a country. Even if the Queen Mother is dissatisfied with you, she will not blame you for this." The imperial concubine nodded, with a smile on her lips, "Why don't I go to pay my respects to the Queen Mother tomorrow on behalf of Your Majesty? Look.

Let’s see what the Queen Mother says?”

The emperor was silent for a moment, then looked at the imperial concubine and said with a smile, "My beloved concubine is indeed my beloved concubine. I will leave this matter to you."

The imperial concubine lowered her head slightly, "I am doing this for the emperor."

She knew in her heart that the emperor was pushing himself out as a shield.

"Then I have to treat my beloved concubine well." The emperor stretched out his hand and dragged the person into his arms, and then the concubine's laughter sounded, "Your Majesty, how are you~"

"Hahaha~"

In the inner courtyard of the palace, in the calm atmosphere, a storm was slowly brewing, and no one seemed to notice the omen.

This is the capital, which is always delicately balancing between calm and turmoil. One wrong step may lead to a catastrophe.

When Yun Miaomiao and Gu Fengqing got up, Xiao Zhuo happened to come back with Yun Su.

"Sister." Yun Su hadn't seen Yun Miaomiao for two days and one night. Now he saw Yun Miaomiao and ran over immediately, "Sister, get up."

Yun Miaomiao remembered that when she got up, Qing Mo looked at her with unclear eyes. Now that she heard what Yun Su said, she became angry and glared at Gu Fengqing.

"Have you gone to pay your respects to the Queen Mother?" Yun Miaomiao looked at Xiao Zhuo, "Has the Queen Mother given you any trouble?"

"No." Yun Su said in advance, "Xiao Zhuo gave all the evidence to the Queen Mother. It is estimated that the Queen Mother will find trouble for the imperial concubine soon. Xiao Zhuo said that if the Queen Mother wants to torture the imperial concubine hard, it is best to let her

It’s better for them to jump over the wall in a hurry.”

"Have you confessed everything to the Queen Mother?" Yun Miaomiao was surprised. She originally planned to ask Gu Fengqing to hand over all the Yun family's papers to the emperor, but she didn't expect Xiao Zhuo to take the first step.

"Yes." Xiao Zhuo nodded, "It is better to give it to my father than to the Queen Mother. If you give it to him, he might destroy all the evidence for his own reputation. After all, we came from Ruizhou

There is no response to even one memorial, doesn’t that explain the problem?”

Yun Miaomiao had been hesitant to hand over the petition just because she knew it.

"Now that you've said it, let's say it." Yun Miaomiao looked at Xiao Zhuo, "Thank you for what you have done for the Yun family."

Xiao Zhuo was not so happy, "Cousin, the Yun family has saved me so many times and taken good care of me. Am I not good enough to even do such a small thing for the Yun family? You shouldn't be estranged from me."

Yun Miaomiao laughed, "Okay, okay, don't tell me, I will prepare delicious food for you. You can eat whatever you want, just bring it up."

Yun Su immediately said, "I want to eat the dry pot made by my sister."

Xiao Zhuo hesitated for a moment and then said, "I want to eat braised pork."

"Okay, I'll cook it for you right now. Let's have a good celebration today." Yun Miaomiao got up and walked to the kitchen. Gu Fengqing glanced at the two little ones and said, "I'll do it for you."

This was the first time Yun Miaomiao saw him being so clingy, so she didn't stop him, "Just don't cause trouble."

"Madam, I'm not that kind of person." Gu Fengqing followed Yun Miaomiao into the kitchen, and soon there was a scent coming out of the kitchen.

After a feast of wine and food, news came from the palace that the Queen Mother had been poisoned.

"What?" Xiao Zhuo immediately stood up from the chair, "How could the perfectly good Queen Mother be poisoned?"

Xiao Zhuo quickly put down the cup in his hand and hurried outside. At this moment, Nanny Li who was beside the Queen Mother came in and stopped him.

"See you, Your Majesty." Nanny Li saluted immediately when she saw Xiao Zhuo, "Your Majesty, please stay."

Xiao Zhuo looked at her in surprise, "Mother Li, why are you here?"

"The prince must have also heard that the Queen Mother was poisoned." Nanny Li said seriously, "The Queen Mother asked this old slave to come to you and ask you to enter the palace as soon as possible."

After hearing this, Xiao Zhuo's heart suddenly tightened. The Queen Mother was poisoned. This was no small matter.

He calmed down the emotions on his face and said to Aunt Li, "I will follow you into the palace now, let's go."

Yun Miaomiao and Gu Fengqing looked at each other, feeling that something was wrong. Sure enough, Nanny Li walked up to Xiao Zhuo's ear and whispered, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has her own arrangements."
