Chapter 201: Plan
Looking at the palace door closing behind him, Gu Jin knew something was wrong.
She had always told Xie Ran to be careful, but she never expected that the fire would burn herself, and the other party even did not hesitate to drag Emperor Hui'an into the water.
Looking at the entire palace, he is the only one who can use Emperor Hui'an as a chess piece.
It turned out that Empress Dowager Jiang's previous warning was just to make her careless, and she never thought of letting her go.
The palace door behind him had been locked from the outside with a bolt, and even the windows were sealed.
She tried knocking on the palace door and calling out loudly, but there was not a single palace servant in the huge Zhangqian Palace, which showed how powerful Empress Dowager Jiang was in the palace.
At this moment, Gu Jin missed Chen Anan a little. With his brute force, he should be able to break down the door of the palace easily.
At this time, the sound of cups breaking and men groaning in pain came from the inner hall.
Gu Jin frowned. To be fair, Emperor Hui'an treated her well and she couldn't just ignore it.
"His Majesty?"
Gu Jin walked towards the inner hall tentatively, and suddenly a figure appeared behind her and reached out to pounce on her...
In Cining Palace.
The chief eunuch Liu Ren stood restlessly in the hall, while the Empress Dowager Jiang sat leisurely drinking tea.
Liu Ren's throat moved slightly, and he bowed his body and said carefully: "Does the Empress Dowager have any other instructions? Your Majesty has a lot of things to do at the palace banquet today, and I'm afraid he is still waiting for me to serve you..."
The teacup made a slight clinking sound when it fell on the table, but Liu Ren's heart still instantly rose.
"Liu Ren, you have been in the palace for many years, right?"
Liu Ren bowed even deeper, "In reply to the Empress Dowager, I have been working in the palace for more than 30 years, thanks to the Empress Dowager and His Majesty's great grace."
"More than thirty years is really not a short time." Empress Dowager Jiang sighed as if touched, "In the past thirty years, you have experienced all the bloody storms in this palace.
When I was still the queen, the Sun family controlled the government and pressed forward step by step. I finally defeated the Sun family's illegitimate princes and they rebelled again. But I still helped the late emperor ascend to the throne!"
Queen Mother Jiang was fierce and frosty, she looked at Liu Ren coldly and said: "I have gone through so many storms and still managed to sit firmly in the high position, and I will never be tripped up by anyone in the future.
You are a smart person, so I don't need to explain some things too clearly.
It is true that His Majesty is your master, but you must remember that His Majesty is not the only master in this palace!"
Liu Ren felt cold sweat all over his body, a chill suddenly spread throughout his body, and a sense of foreboding arose in his heart.
At this time, Nanny Song stepped forward and whispered a few words to Empress Dowager Jiang. The corners of Empress Dowager Jiang's lips curled up, and a cold smile appeared on her lips, "General Manager Liu has been away for so long, I think he is worried about Your Majesty. If so, I will go back with you to take a look."
Liu Ren's pupils suddenly shrank. He had been in the deep palace for so many years and had seen all kinds of conspiracies. The Queen Mother summoned him here not just to warn her, but to lure the tiger away from the mountain. She must have done something to His Majesty!
At this moment, he felt discouraged and his limbs seemed to be frozen stiff.
Empress Dowager Jiang was a person of deep thoughts. He had no idea what tactics she would use to plot against His Majesty. She wouldn't just kill the king, would she?
Liu Ren's face grew paler. Empress Dowager Jiang simply glanced at him with a slight smile on her lips.
She certainly would not do something as easy as regicide, which would leave an easy handle. What she wanted was to trample Emperor Hui'an into the mud again, to make them alienated from each other, and to make Emperor Hui'an become the puppet that she could manipulate!
"Madame Song, His Majesty is not feeling well. Please go to the Imperial Garden to find the Queen and the Imperial Concubine, and have them go with me to visit His Majesty!"
