"puff--"

After the Queen Mother finished shouting, she spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

If she knew that the palace's private storehouse had been emptied, the pain she felt would be like having a large piece of flesh and blood cut off.

When she found out that He Huaiyuan, who had always been in control, had actually been deceiving her and had never said a word from the beginning to the end, it felt like a knife suddenly stabbed straight into her heart.

The pain I feel is a thousand times greater than before.

"Someone come! Send the doctor here quickly!"

Xiao Fuzi was so frightened that her soul was about to fly away. She hurriedly called for help while pouring tea for the empress dowager to rinse her mouth. The young palace maids also hurriedly helped her sit up and wiped her body.

The deputy commander of the Dark Dragon Guards secretly glanced at the Queen Mother's face, which was as pale as paper.

I thought to myself, it was a good thing that he didn't tell others that the Queen Mother's private letter had already spread to several counties.

I've only just finished half of my speech, and this person has already reacted so strongly.

If you tell me everything, won't you be so angry that you will die? It seems that I can find another opportunity to talk about it tomorrow morning.

The Queen Mother did not notice the little thoughts of the deputy commander of the Dark Dragon Guard. She now felt her head was filled with anger, embarrassment and shame.

After sitting on the couch for a long time, he finally recovered. He nodded in praise to the deputy commander of the Dark Dragon Guard.

"You did a good job. This matter is indeed more important than ambushing and killing the eldest son of the Sheng family. Did you also bring the more than a thousand hidden guards I asked you to gather?"

The deputy commander nodded.

The Queen Mother's lips curled up slightly, and her eyes gradually became filled with a strong fierce look.

"Bring all the men here and ambush them in the Changchun Palace. When He Huaiyuan arrives in a moment, you will seize the opportunity and kill him for me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the store suddenly became quiet.

"Your Majesty, please think about it. You now have the right to assist in the political affairs. Most of the policies of Southern Qi are issued by the Prime Minister alone. If something unexpected happens to the Prime Minister at this critical juncture, I am afraid... I am afraid that it will cause unrest in the world..."

Xiao Fuzi was so frightened that he trembled, but he couldn't help but persuade him.

"The sky is turbulent! Your life is almost gone, and you are still worried about the sky being turbulent!"

Empress Dowager He was so angry that her blood boiled. She waved her sleeves and swept the basin and towel that the palace maid brought to clean her onto the ground.

"Didn't you see what it says?!"

"Most of the civil and military officials in the Manchu dynasty came from He Huaiyuan's family! That's why he was willing to coax me all these years, but he wanted to use us mother and son as a cover to shut up the gossips in the world."

"Once our wings are fully grown, that will be the time for us to die!"

The Empress Dowager felt so angry when He Huaiyuan was mentioned.

Now that I think about it, many of the former officials that this good brother asked her to dismiss might not have had any problems at all. And this old dog is using me to eliminate dissidents!

After years of hard work, he thought he could climb to the pinnacle of power without any hesitation.

In fact, he had been taking advantage of them. He had extended the sickle to his own people and had eliminated all the chips left for him by the late emperor!

What made the Queen Mother even more angry and ashamed was that He Huaiyuan not only deceived her, but also deceived her heart!

He Yuerong is a petty and mean person.

Speaking of it, the eldest wife of the Sheng family had contradicted her on some trivial matters many years ago, and she still holds a grudge against her.

However, He Huaiyuan directly stepped on Taisui's toes and trampled all her pride into the mud!

In a flash, he surpassed the other members of the Sheng family in her heart and became the person the Queen Mother wanted to kill the most!

After the extreme anger, there is a suffocating calmness.

Empress Dowager He smiled an extremely sinister smile, squeezed Xiao Fuzi's hand and said comfortingly:

"There is always a way out. Even if the world is in turmoil, there will always be a way to calm it down in the end."

"He Huaiyuan is a ruthless man. Once he grows up, there will be no chance for us to survive. We have to kill him now before he can react. Only then will we have a chance of survival!"

The Queen Mother had a clear idea. The court was now in the hands of He Huaiyuan, and no matter what evidence she presented, she could not convict him.

If you want him to die, there is the assassination method!

"Okay, let's get ready. Help me change my clothes. I'll treat my good brother well later!"

The Queen Mother lifted her skirt and stood up, with an extremely sinister smile on her calm face.

…

At this time, Prime Minister He's residence was still immersed in laughter and joy.

Liuyun County was originally within He Huai'en's fiefdom. During this time, He Huai'en had been setting traps according to his brother's instructions, waiting for the Sheng family to be captured.

This morning, Prime Minister He received a message from He Huai'en a few days ago, saying that Liuyun County had been settled.

Along with the letter were several carts of gold, silver, grain, and other nourishing foods presented by Anzhuang as a token of filial respect.

The Prime Minister's Mansion was finally able to spend some time there. He Huaiyuan was in a good mood and invited several close ministers to a banquet.

At this time, the wine glasses were clinking. The aunt sitting next to He Huaiyuan was holding a large box of top-quality bird's nests, her face also full of shyness.

"Prince...you gave me all of these?"

He Huaiyuan was not interested in these girls' supplements at all, so he waved his hand nonchalantly.

"You have served me well these days. I appreciate all this."

"Thank you, my lord. I will be more careful in the future." Auntie Carol glanced seductively, holding the top-quality bird's nest in her hands with great joy.

Looking closely, the royal swallows she had were not only more in quantity than those obtained by the Queen Mother, but also seemed to be of better quality.

He Huaiyuan seemed to have thought of something. He said, "Everyone in Beijing is living in poverty now. If you get something good, don't show off."

After all, that crazy woman in the palace has now reduced a meal to five dishes and one soup.

They had several dishes for every meal and ate the good things sent by Anzhuang every day. If that person knew about it, he would be angry again.

"I won't bother." Auntie nodded in agreement.

The conversation between the two was just a small episode at the banquet. The men's banquets were mostly about discussing the affairs of the court.

He Huaiyuan ate and drank to his heart's content and was in a very good mood.

Knowing that everyone had been having a hard time recently, he immediately asked someone to distribute some of the good things that his good brother had just sent to everyone.

He even said that several carts of gold, silver and treasures would be sent to the capital soon. You have worked hard for him for many years, and you will definitely get some benefits when the time comes.

Many of the officials present here are now so poor that they have changed from one meal a day to two meals a day. They haven't gone shopping for daily necessities for a long time.

Hearing this, they were all delighted and raised their glasses to thank the Prime Minister for solving their urgent problem.

However, at this moment, a figure in black suddenly appeared behind He Huaiyuan and whispered something in his ear.

“Bang—”

The wine cup in his hand fell to the ground, and He Huaiyuan's face instantly turned the color of pig liver with anger.

"What did you say?! All the industries in Linyang County have been emptied?!"

"Even the carts of gold, silver, silk, and rare medicinal materials that Prince Yongping was going to send to the capital are all gone?!"
