Chapter 1293 Wolf Cub

Zhao Yuanjing watched her leave with a gloomy expression.

Yun Dai walked to him and said softly: "I didn't expect that the Queen Mother would protect King Yi."

Zhao Yuanjing breathed out gently and said with a smile: "Dai'er, do you still remember what I said to you?"

"Which sentence?"

"The royal family has no family ties, as long as they are involved in power disputes. It doesn't matter whether they are father and son, brothers, or grandparents." Zhao Yuanjing said softly, "The Empress Dowager is angry with me."

"The Empress Dowager has stood at the pinnacle of power in the Great Zhou Dynasty for half her life. She raised you single-handedly. I thought you would be like the late emperor and be controlled by him. Who knows... The emperor is not a docile cat, but a Wolf cub."

Zhao Yuanjing smiled slightly. He didn't feel angry that she called him a wolf cub. Instead, he felt an inexplicable intimacy.

He took Yun Dai's hand, held her and sat down, and said: "Dai'er, you have also seen what Yuhe has become like under her control for decades. The rivers burst their banks and no one repaired them, and the national treasury It is empty and ruthless officials are rampant. The Empress Dowager is satisfied, the clan, the government and the public are satisfied. But are the thousands of people in Great Zhou ever satisfied?"

Yun Dai nodded: "Yes, if I hadn't heard it with my own ears, it would be hard for me to believe that the Ministry of Internal Affairs still owes money to the local government."

"In the past few years, the money has been in the hands of King Chun and other clans. They have always been close to the Queen Mother. Today, the Queen Mother came over to prevent me from punishing King Yi, and she did not really want to protect King Yi."

"Then what is she for?"

"Because I am sending Jin Lan to investigate the accounts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Zhao Yuanjing said, "The arrival of the Empress Dowager shows that they are guilty and they are afraid."

"Could it be that they really embezzled money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

"If they are not greedy, I really don't know where the millions of taels of silver from the Ministry of Internal Affairs every year go."

"Your Majesty, why does the Empress Dowager have to be like this? She should really be good to you in her heart."

"I know. But... once a person gets used to power, it's hard to let go."

"I understand."

Yun Dai knew that he was not in a good mood today.

He had just taken care of the government affairs, but the royal family members such as King Chun started to make trouble again. Even the imperial grandmother who raised him had been pressuring him because of recent events.

At this moment, Zhao Yuanhe didn't know whether to live or die and offended him many times, and he really had murderous intentions.

Seeing her frown, Zhao Yuanjing patted the back of her hand and said, "It's okay, don't worry."

Yun Dai asked him: "Just now, if the Empress Dowager had not come, would you really have killed King Yi?"

"meeting."

Zhao Yuanjing's eyes fell on the little golden bell beside her ear.

Yun Dai tilted her head slightly, subconsciously avoiding his gaze.

Zhao Yuanjing raised his hand, held her cheek, and turned her face to expose her ears.

He moved closer to her face and studied it carefully.

The small bell is entirely pure gold, very small, but very delicate, and the details are polished to be extremely round and smooth.

"I never took a closer look before, but now I can see that it is a rare and good craftsmanship." Zhao Yuanjing raised his hand and touched it gently.

The little bell trembled slightly.

Yun Dai closed her eyes and felt his breath spraying on her ears.

He suddenly asked: "The fourth child said that the little emperor's mood will affect this pair of bells. Is it true or false?"

"This kind of thing...he shouldn't be lying."

"So, it's true."

Zhao Yuanjing raised his eyebrows lightly, "On the day of my uncle's wedding, you were so painful that you fainted. Does that mean that he was in a very bad mood at that time? It shouldn't be on a wedding day."
