Empress, you don't want to be thrown into limbo by your father, do you?

After Li Changshou dropped his words, he disappeared into the night.

Only Eunuch Cao was left to ponder over what he said just now, and gradually seemed to figure out something.

"Let the empress take care of her life? Your Highness really wants to monopolize the power!"

Right now, inside and outside the court hall, everyone has already agreed to the enthronement of King Shou, and tomorrow is the grand ceremony of abdication and passing on the throne of the Taimiao. After everything is over, there will be one emperor and one courtier.

The officials in the court are like this, and it is actually the same in this palace.

For example, the noble concubine would have been promoted to empress dowager if she hadn't been buried as a martyr. In addition, the faction and selfishness of these years has controlled many court ministers.

At that time, it is not impossible for someone to listen to the government behind the curtain, and directly lift the emperor.

To understand this, Eunuch Cao already had an idea in mind.

Returning to the imperial concubine's dormitory, seeing her worried and restless appearance, she was in a daze for a while.

Over the years, the imperial concubine has been cruel and ruthless, and those methods have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Not only Eunuch Cao, but also the surrounding eunuchs and court ladies who were born in evil sects, all have shadows.

This is the impact left by accumulating prestige for too long.

"Miss."

"Shou'er has gone back?"

"The old slave personally sent His Highness back."

The noble concubine's eyes were a little sad when she heard the words. If it had been in the past, it would never have been like this, just because of Li Changshou's bitter show tonight.

Even Eunuch Cao can see that the King of Shou is clearly a bitter show tonight. Could it be that the concubine is so shrewd as a fox, can't see it?

But now in fact, the imperial concubine really didn't see it.

Father, like son!

Eunuch Cao couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

"Did Shou'er say anything?"

The imperial concubine asked, tonight her heart was in a mess, she hadn't seen any big storms in the past 20 years, but tonight was the only thing that made her restless.

Closing his eyes, Li Changshou's face and those questioning voices appeared in his mind.

Finally, there is the picture of the dagger and blood flowing out.

"My lord, His Highness did say something to this old slave..."

Eunuch Cao bowed his head, he had already guessed that Li Changshou would use him to influence the noble concubine, since he swore allegiance and chose a position, he naturally had to show himself well.

Maybe in the future, there will be even greater benefits waiting for him.

"What did Shou'er tell you? Quick! Tell me!"

The noble concubine asked immediately after hearing this, her expression was very urgent and nervous, and then she suddenly showed worry, "First, don't talk about it, tell me, does Shou'er really want to break up with me?"

Compared with others, the imperial concubine is actually worried about this matter, and Eunuch Cao doesn't know how to describe it.

Even if Xin Dao is the leader of the magic sect, he is a woman after all. This woman's heart has become weak, which is really unreasonable.

But he didn't dare to reveal it, and quickly smiled, "Don't worry, Madam, what His Highness said tonight is all angry words, so don't take it to heart."

"Angry talk? Is it really just an angry talk?"

The imperial concubine was dubious. How long ago did that woman who manipulated the court in her hands become so unconfident?
Eunuch Cao lowered his head halfway and smiled, "Your Highness is very filial to your empress, and everything you say must be angry. Doesn't your empress still believe in your highness?"

As soon as this remark came out, the imperial concubine smiled sweetly as if she had thought of something, and subconsciously replied, "Yes, Shou'er is really filial to this palace..."

"So empress doesn't need to worry about His Highness at all."

"Then tonight he..."

"Your Majesty, forgive me for being so bold. Your Highness will come here tonight to get angry with your Majesty, which proves that His Highness is still on your side!"

This kind of nonsense is purely fooling people, but the question is whether the fooled people are willing to believe it.

If you don't want to believe it, your eloquence is useless.

If you are willing to believe it, just mentioning it casually can play a role.

In the current situation, the imperial concubine clearly believed this nonsense.

"You slave, you know how to make me happy."

The noble concubine seemed to be relieved, and it was true after thinking about it carefully. Emperor Qianming summoned Li Changshou alone, and confessed so many secrets.

If he was really at odds with her, why would he come and speak to her immediately?

"Your Majesty, you are a fan of the authorities, but this old servant is a bystander!"

Eunuch Cao explained to himself with a flattering smile, "The old servant sent His Highness away just now. Your Majesty may not know it. Even though Your Highness is angry with your Majesty because of the incident back then, he still cares more about your Majesty's safety in his heart."

"Oh? What did Shou'er tell you?"

Speaking of what happened back then is the most difficult problem that the concubine is most unwilling to face now, but she can't ignore it, so she is more concerned about what Li Changshou talked with Eunuch Cao in private after he left her side.

"On the way back, Your Highness is still thinking about your mother, saying that he is still trying to persuade His Majesty, and wants His Majesty to take back his life."

Eunuch Cao humbly added fuel and vinegar there, since he chose to follow Li Changshou, he naturally had to perform well.

His performance before made Li Changshou reward him with a panacea, which allowed him to break through the bottleneck that he hadn't broken through for many years in an instant. What about after that?
"Shou'er really told you that?"

The imperial concubine was a little moved, her eyes were full of emotion and guilt.

"The old slave dare not lie to the empress, His Highness indeed explained this to the old slave, it's just..."

"Just what?!"

Seeing Eunuch Cao flickering and hesitating, the imperial concubine's eyes were filled with coldness and anticipation, she snorted softly, "Is there anything else you can't say in front of this palace?"

"The old slave dare not say it!"

Eunuch Cao made a thud, kneeling on the ground and trembling, obviously speechless.

You must know that he has followed the imperial concubine all these years, has known too many secrets, and is often worried that the imperial concubine will cross the river and demolish the bridge and kill him with one blow. Although he secretly seeks refuge with Li Changshou, how can the imperial concubine's accumulated power for many years be forgotten overnight?
"I forgive you for your innocence! Tell me."

The noble concubine is in no mood to care about Eunuch Cao's reaction now, she just wants to know immediately what Li Changshou said to Eunuch Cao, and whether she really wants to separate from her mother-in-law.

Eunuch Cao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his head and said cautiously, "Your Highness told this old servant that he wants to negotiate with His Majesty and exchange the right to inherit the throne for your empress's life."

Good guy!
Li Changshou was hiding on the roof of the imperial concubine's bedroom. Hearing Eunuch Cao's nonsense, he couldn't help but want to praise him!

He just hinted that he didn't expect Eunuch Cao to perform so well.

It can still be said to be so reasonable and seamless!
Really, smooth old fox!

Did he say it?

Did not say!

But really didn't say it?

Eunuch Cao is obviously an expert in reading comprehension. Not only did he understand his hints, but he also went deep into his associations, used his imagination and came up with the best answer!
"What? Shou'er really said that?!"

Sure enough, the imperial concubine has planned for so long, or how much manpower, material resources and energy has been spent on the century-old project of the Demon Sect. Now that the best result is finally coming, how could it be possible to let the fruit that is about to be obtained fly away like this?

The imperial concubine became anxious on the spot, "Tell me, Shou'er really told you that he would trade the throne for my life?"

"This old slave dare not lie, every sentence is the truth!"

Eunuch Cao is serious about the matter, his face is not red and his heart is not beating. He really is an old man who has been immersed in the palace for many years. This nonsense is absolutely perfect.

"Absolutely not!"

The noble concubine immediately refused when she heard it, and finally killed the prince, and even changed the attitude of the prime minister who had originally opposed it.

Right now is the last critical moment. Wouldn't giving up now make all efforts in vain?
"The old slave also persuaded His Highness, but His Highness said that the Empress is more important than the throne, so His Highness would rather give up the throne to protect the Empress!"

Eunuch Cao continued to open his eyes and talk nonsense, and Li Changshou was also listening on the roof.

These remarks definitely left the noble concubine with a dilemma.

Either continue to support Li Changshou to ascend the throne and sit on the dragon chair, but Emperor Qianming is determined to let her be buried, and he calls it for the sake of the country, so that the court officials will not object, even the prime minister. The group of ministers from the Qing school would clap their hands in approval.

But if he wanted to save the life of the noble concubine, Li Changshou would give up the throne. In this way, Emperor Qianming would have no reason to drag the noble concubine to be buried.

Which to choose?

The problem was completely thrown to the imperial concubine herself.

"Confused!"

The imperial concubine didn't know whether to be moved or angry, "Why is Shou'er so impulsive, how can he make fun of the throne?"

"Your Majesty, Your Highness cares about you too much, that's why..."

Eunuch Cao defended Li Changshou.

"Oh, I am naturally happy that he attaches so much importance to me, but he, he can't..."

The imperial concubine showed hesitation, her eyes were full of complexity, like joy, but also like gratification and satisfaction, but more of ambition, how could she fail in the palace for more than 20 years?
Doesn't that mean that her efforts and losses over the years are all in vain?
"No, I can't let him act like this!"

She would definitely not agree to the burial, but Momen has not yet found a suitable candidate who can be buried for her, otherwise why the dilemma like now?
Up to now, the noble concubine's eyes were filled with coldness, and she was about to get up to leave the palace but was dissuaded by Eunuch Cao.

"Your Majesty, please be safe and don't be impatient. In fact, this old slave has an idea. I don't know if it will work or not."

"What's your idea?"

Hearing that Eunuch Cao had an idea, the imperial concubine hurriedly asked.

"The old slave thought of a way. His Majesty knew the identity of the empress. He should be worried that after His Highness succeeded to the throne, the empress would be the empress of firefighting. That's why he ordered the empress to be buried with her. It can also convince the court officials that they will not object."

Eunuch Cao laughed and said, "But Your Majesty dare not disclose the identity of your empress to the public, otherwise it will affect His Highness's succession to the throne, so His Majesty can only use your empress to intervene in politics to make an order."

"Then what do you mean?"

The young master succeeded to the throne, and the queen mother listened to the government behind a curtain. Many things have happened since ancient times.

"What I mean by this old slave is that as long as your majesty can let the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty understand that you have no ambition to listen to the government behind the curtain, and you will not interfere in the government affairs after your highness succeeds to the throne, but choose to cultivate your morality, but your highness can only plead for your majesty with filial piety. At that time, even if His Majesty wants to drag the empress to be buried, there will be no excuse."

Emperor Qianming dared not let people know that the noble concubine is a demon girl, that would damage the royal family's face!

It is more reminiscent of the disaster caused by Emperor Wu of Zhou, the Queen of Heaven!

Now is the critical time when Li Changshou is about to ascend the throne, and it is even more impossible to reveal the secret.

And as long as this secret is kept secret, Eunuch Cao's current proposal will be very promising.

Since ancient times, the Central Plains has paid attention to filial piety. The so-called filial piety comes first, and even the king of a country cannot escape this concept.

When the imperial concubine heard this, her eyes lit up.

"Then what do you think this palace should do to convince the ministers that they will not interfere in the government in the future?"

Eunuch Cao lowered his head, "Your Majesty, you can take the initiative to go to Ganye Temple and lead your hair to practice!"
