Chapter 20 Reconciliation

Kunning Hall.

The guards were patrolling under the eaves, and the surrounding maids and eunuchs were sent away to wait outside. The thin female voice sounded as the figures moved, and continued to be heard.

"After hearing Bai Ning's behavior in the court today, I was worried that he was another King of Pu. Who gave him the order to kill those three ministers when they asked? Is it just because someone else said a few words in the memorial? He is narrow-minded... ....When he helped Jill in times of crisis, I thought he was just...well, forget it."

Jin Luan's embroidered steps lightly stepped on the soft blanket. Over there, the pretty figure looked at Shang Yu walking back and forth and frowned, "What does the queen want to do?"

The room was quiet for a while, and the candles flickered. After that, the woman shook her head: "Can we really fight against Bai Ning? Although he is Yi'er's uncle, he is not a relative after all. That's not right... that's not right. Bai Ning is a eunuch, and he will not take away Yi'er's throne... He won't take it away, but there is no way to let it continue like this. He will do everything as a eunuch. What will happen to Yi'er when he grows up in the future? Aren’t you becoming a puppet?”

"Mother-"

The golden dress was trailing on the ground as she walked around. Zheng Wan shouted loudly, then lowered her voice: "Mother, please calm down. There are Bai Ning's eyeliners everywhere in the palace. Don't get confused. Yi'er has only been on the throne for a long time, it's still a long time, everything can be done slowly."

"Wan'er! You don't understand!" Shang Yu shook his fist twice, "Today he can kill several ministers, and tomorrow he will be able to ride on our heads and dominate us. If you think about it carefully, he What I have done over the years has led me step by step to today, where I am not only the general manager of the palace, but also the admiral of Dongchang who holds the power of inspecting hundreds of officials, and now he is the uncle of the emperor..."

When the woman said, her originally bright eyes flashed with fear, "He... He had already arranged it before. For many years, everyone thought that he worked hard for the Wu Dynasty. In fact, he had already thought about what he wanted. What did you do... Wan'er, in order to protect ourselves, we two must find a way."

Zheng Wan opened her mouth, with a complicated look on her face. She moved, intentionally or unintentionally, she glanced at the other side of the screen with her peripheral vision, and comforted the somewhat panicked woman, "Mother, maybe you misunderstood, Bai Ning is It’s normal for eunuchs to feel proud when they gain power. In all dynasties, eunuchs who had exclusive power never ended well, have you forgotten?”

The words were like a double-edged sword thrust out, but Shang Yu didn't hear the meaning and was stunned for a long time: "Wan'er's heart is kind, but it doesn't mean that others are kind. I just thought of someone I can win over. As long as I If the palace tells him about the injustice in the past, he will definitely stand by our mother and father. Think about it, that man is now a general with a heavy army. As long as he comes to the court, he will definitely be able to check and balance Bai Ning... .”

The woman seemed to have made up her mind and showed a confident smile to the woman over there. Jin Feng Chai shook her hanging beads and turned around quickly: "...I will send my confidants to handle this matter."

Zheng Wan lowered her eyes and saw that the woman had walked out of the bedroom. She sat down at the table and whispered: "The Empress Dowager is gone. Come out."

Behind the screen, footsteps came, and the figure sat down opposite the woman in the gloom. Bai Ning looked over and said, "By the way, the last words you said seemed to be for the governor."

Unexpectedly, Bai Ning suddenly mentioned this first. Zheng Wan opened her mouth, but in the end she couldn't say anything. She fell silent and looked away.

"...It doesn't matter. Even the words the Empress Dowager said, I didn't take it to heart." After a moment, Bai Ning, who was looking gloomy, his gloomy aura suddenly dissipated, and a stiff smile appeared on his face. : "As you said, I am a eunuch. Why do you really want the throne... Queen Mother, are you right?"

He sat there and said these words with a smile, but Zheng Wan, opposite him, had his chest rising and falling rapidly, holding his breath. Although the other party was talking and laughing, it still felt eerie.

It was as if the person speaking in front of me was not a person, but a cold poisonous snake spitting out words.

"Okay... let's not talk about this."

The woman nodded.

Bai Ning nodded at the table and thought for a while, "Our family has thought a little about the burial of the late emperor. The burial should be simple. After all, the north was just finished, but it was also destroyed. The refugees need to return to their hometown and build their homes. The imperial court must be responsible, and the civilians and soldiers who died guarding Bianliang must be compensated, or their military pay must be doubled, so our family wants to take care of everything."

"What do you think?" Bai Ning tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, and Bai Ning stared at the woman's face without moving.

Zheng Wan took a deep breath, forced herself to wake up from her trance, gritted her teeth and moved her eyes to look at him, "Admiral Bai's suggestion, I think it is feasible, and the court should not object, but the late emperor is under the Nine Springs Wouldn’t it be a little shabby?”

"will not."

"Our family has been with the late emperor for many years. How could he be so shabby and lonely when we were as close as brothers?" Bai Ning cracked his mouth and smiled, revealing his white teeth, "So...some of the concubines in the palace... Let's go with the late emperor and save the palace some money."

Bai Ning didn't wait for Zheng Wan to object. He stood up and prepared to go out. "Sacrificial burial has been around since ancient times, and it is not a precedent set by this governor, so let's go as usual. My subordinates will pick some concubines, and the Queen Mother will not have to do it." Worry about it.”

The moment the door opened and the figure walked out, Zheng Wan's eyes immediately turned red, tears dripped down, and she sobbed faintly.

"Queen Mother... I'm sorry... I'm sorry... Wan'er can only do this, can only do this, but Wan'er swears that she will get rid of the white eunuch... His Majesty's death must be his fault. ...Wan'er knows it well...I'm sorry..."

......

The bright light spread in the corridor, bringing with it a golden glow. The figure left the dormitory, and the smiling face turned cold. As he walked, he ordered Cao Zhenchun behind him: "That old woman is tired of living... and she actually made up her mind. When it comes to the governor's subordinates, they are really suspicious because of their age, so I might as well go to hell."

The steps stopped and the hem of the robe swayed.

Cao Zhenchun from behind quickly bowed and heard a cold voice: "Inform Yu Huatian and give the Empress Dowager a free practice. This should be a wake-up call for everyone."

Looking at the indifferent figure striding away, Cao Zhenchun wiped away a bead of sweat that slipped to the corner of his eyes and replied respectfully: "Yes, Lord Governor."

ps: That’s it for tonight. Ask for a monthly pass.
