Chapter 187 Joining Forces
"Royal Grandmother." The prince saluted the Queen Mother respectfully and asked, "Are you feeling well?"
The corners of the Queen Mother's mouth twitched slightly, she raised her chin slightly, and said with unclear meaning: "Prince, do you think the Ai family is living well or not in this place of pure cultivation?"
The prince's heart was awe-inspiring, and he said more and more cautiously: "Royal grandmother, you prayed for the Great Zhou in the national temple. Over the years, the Great Zhou has had good weather, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and you have contributed a lot to it. My grandson wants to take you back to the palace, but it's a pity that you are alone. We are weak, and now the emperor's uncle is going to Xiliang as an envoy to attend the ceremony of canonizing the crown princess of Xiliang. The father of the emperor ordered his son to assist the emperor's people to take charge of the government. Today I am here to tell you that your grandson will welcome you in five days. Return to the palace."
The Queen Mother's eyes moved, and she finally looked directly at the Prince. After looking at him from top to bottom several times, she realized that the Prince had grown from an immature boy to a young man. His eyes were full of ambition, and he was more eager for power than Ji Ling.
At the moment before the prince came to the temple, the queen mother had not considered forming an alliance with the prince. Because he grew up under the Queen's knees, and secretly interacted with Ji Xuan to compete with the Queen Mother. Finally, he followed Ji Xuan's arrangement and married Su Mixue instead of marrying Su Wan. The Queen Mother thought that the prince had become Ji Xuan's puppet. Now after hearing what he said Well, that's not the case.
He was using his strength to fight back, enduring the humiliation and bearing the burden, and when he found the opportunity, he would fight back against Ji Xuan.
"Come into the room and talk." The Queen Mother held Nanny An's hand and entered the room.
She didn't want to stay in the national temple for a moment. The prince wanted to take her back to the palace. He took advantage of Ji Xuan's mission to Xiliang and asked her to return to the palace to take charge of the overall situation. The prince's current ability is too weak, and he may be too passive when facing Ji Xuan, so she needs to step forward. After all, she is Ji Xuan's mother, the Queen Mother of a country.
The opportunity she had been waiting for for years came.
The two men have formed an alliance at this moment.
The Queen Mother sat down.
The prince stood in front of the Queen Mother and said: "Grandmother, the emperor's uncle is seriously ill. Dr. Liu has been treating him, but there is no improvement. I have placed an informant in the Liu family, and the news came that the poison he was poisoned is related to his adopted son. The same thing. There is no cure for Ting Yuan's poison, and it seems the same is true for the Emperor's uncle. If he has any heirs, his men will be leaderless."
When the Queen Mother heard the name Ting Yuan, her eyes flickered slightly: "How is his adopted son?"
"I have disappeared for almost a year, and there is no news. I am afraid that I will soon fall ill and die." The prince muttered: "My father has made no achievements in the court, and my uncle has messed up the court, but most of the courtiers regard him as a follower. I plan to ask him to come forward." Master Ge Laojiang comes out."
"He was a minister of the Imperial Academy and was once the chief assistant. He had disciples all over the Zhou Dynasty. Almost half of the people in the court had to call him "sir." He strongly disagreed with the emperor's uncle's approach. For this reason, he resigned from the position of chief assistant and retired to his hometown. , It shows that he is a man of true temperament. If we can win over him, we can quickly regain the lost imperial power."
The Queen Mother saw some hesitation in the Prince's eyebrows and couldn't help but ask: "What are your concerns?"
The prince thought that Gu Huaizhi was Master Jiang's student, and he felt a little unhappy when he thought of Gu Huaizhi marrying Su Wan.
"No." The prince shook his head.
The Queen Mother also knew that Mr. Jiang was very stubborn and had trouble dealing with Ji Xuan. Although he was no longer in the court, he still had great influence.
"The Aijia will wait for you in five days to welcome the Aijia back to the palace. At that time, the Aijia will personally invite Mr. Jiang to come out!" Thinking of returning to the palace soon, the queen mother's heavy twilight energy dissipated and her whole face became radiant.
