"Miss...I don't know!"

The Empress Dowager smiled softly, "The tea here in Ai's house is better than the tea in Taichang Palace!"

Xu Shu was shocked, and her face showed a little confusion, "Empress Dowager? Why did Empress Dowager meet her ministers?"

"The Ai family also wants to know! The queen and Taichang Palace have no contact or affair. However, at the reception banquet that King Pingning still paid attention to you, Miss Zheng Jiu, and the Ai family is puzzled. Today, Taichang Palace sent someone to stop you, Miss Zheng Jiu, halfway. This really made the Ai family curious. Why did the Empress Dowager do this?"

"Maybe it's because... the daughter of the minister and the second young master Fu met!"

When the emperor fell ill, King Qing Jianguo was the country. The Deng family took advantage of the situation to control the Zheng family, but Xu Shu used Fu Junqian, forcing the Fu family to help the Zheng family. Therefore, Xu Shu believed that the Empress Dowager must have heard of the rumors about Xu Shu and Fu Junqian!

"Second Young Master Fu..."

The Empress Dowager gently pulled the corner of her mouth. Why did she forget about this? The Empress Dowager looked at Xu Shu calmly. Xu Shu was calm and did not feel shy when she mentioned the Second Prince Fu. It can be seen that Xu Shu had no affection for the Second Prince Fu, so that Xu Shu refused the Empress Dowager so tough that day. It seemed that it would make sense. But since Xu Shu had nothing to do with the Second Prince Fu, why did Empress Dowager still hold him?

The Empress Dowager couldn't think of any reason, and obviously knew that Xu Shu would not tell her anything, so she stopped talking and took the initiative to mention other things, "I heard that Miss Zheng Jiu has had a close relationship with Grandma Qi recently?"

"Yes! Grandma Qi is pregnant and feels depressed. She often talks to her daughters!"

"She felt depressed?" The Empress Dowager was surprised. "I heard that the Lord Rong's mansion treated her as a treasure. If she had any requests and had nothing to agree, why would she feel depressed?" Thinking of Deng Yarong's willful temperament, the Empress Dowager couldn't help frowning. Don't deliberately make things difficult for the Qi family again because of her stomach!

Xu Shu replied, "It is precisely because the Duke Rong's mansion treats her very well that she feels indescribable, so she feels depressed and dare not tell Mrs. Deng that she is afraid of being ungrateful and complaining. She can only tell her a little bit about the irrelevant person, a person who has nothing to do with. However, the daughter is incompetent and cannot relieve the sorrow in Grandma Qi's heart!"

Unexpectedly, Deng Yarong felt depressed because she felt that the Qi family was so kind to her. The Empress Dowager was stunned and murmured, "This child has finally grown up... It's just that pregnant women think so much, which is not conducive to the fetus!"

Xu Shu said, "The Empress Dowager Qi has always loved Grandma Qi, and Grandma Qi also respects the Empress Dowager very much. If the Empress Dowager is told, Grandma Qi will definitely be able to enter!"

Xu Shu wanted the Empress Dowager to summon Deng Yarong to the palace, but since the Deng family and the Empress Dowager were separated from the Empress Dowager because of the position of the Grand Prince, the Empress Dowager had never summoned Deng Yarong again. Several years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Deng Yarong has become a wife and a mother...

Now the Huang family and the Xiao family can't count on it anymore. Only the Deng family and the Empress Dowager rely on each other on the same boat. The previous knots should be put down. The Empress Dowager suddenly missed the ostentatious and charming Deng Yarong a little.

"It's been a long time since the Ai family saw her, so it's time to meet her..."

"It's getting late today. If the Empress Dowager wants to see Grandma Qi, it will be another day!"

The Empress Dowager couldn't help but smile. Xu Shu was just reminding herself that it was getting late and it was time to let her go!

"It has been a long time since the Ai family used the incense you made. Next time I go to the palace to bring some to the Ai family!"

"...Yes!" Xu Shu agreed.

Xu Shu had to agree to the request of the Empress Dowager, both in terms of emotion and reason.

"Little way, send Miss Zheng Jiu out of the palace!"

The Empress Dowager focused on the word "out of the palace". Eunuch Lu understood that this was the intention of asking him to send Xu Shu to the palace gate himself. It seemed that the Empress Dowager was considerate so that the Empress Dowager would not give up and rob people again on the way. However, the Empress Dowager dared to rob people from the empress, but he was not so brave to rob people from the empress dowager!

"It's time for you to be here!"

"Miss Zheng Jiu is polite, please!"

Xu Shu and Eunuch Lu are also acquaintances. In addition, the Empress Dowager seemed to be a little close to Xu Shu, so Eunuch Lu was extremely kind to Xu Shu. Along the way, he would introduce him to Xu Shu a few more when he saw the newly added scenery in the palace. Xu Shu listened intently and nodded from time to time.

When we arrived at Qinghui Gate, we suddenly saw a team of officials with red robes and purple belts heading towards the imperial study. At this time, what happened to so many imperial officials headed to the imperial study?

Eunuch Lu also stopped. It was obviously shocked by the scene. He counted silently and found that the six ministers were all among them. He immediately realized that something must have happened. Thinking of the emperor's current physical condition, Eunuch Lu became anxious and hurriedly called the eunuch who was on duty at Qinghui Gate to ask.

"What's going on? Why are all the adults hurried to the Imperial Study Room, but what's wrong with the Emperor?"

The eunuch replied, "Grandpa Rou said, just now, Eunuch Xing'an passed on the emperor's will and summoned all officials of the fourth rank or above to the imperial study room to discuss matters!"

It’s not the Emperor’s dragon body that has something wrong!

Eunuch Lu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What is the matter that the emperor summons you to discuss?"

The eunuch shook his head and laughed apologized, "I don't know this slave anymore, and Eunuch Xing'an didn't say anything!"

All the officials of the fourth rank or above were summoned to discuss the matter. It seems that the matter is quite small! What is it? It is already time for you to go to the yamen in such a hurry. You have to call people over. If there is anything you can't wait until you go to court tomorrow before you can talk about it?

Perhaps he was in a hurry to go back and report to the Empress Dowager, so the steps under the feet of Eunuch Lu accelerated. "Miss Zheng Jiu, let's go from here, don't hit you all!"

"good!"

Xu Shu followed the detour and left the palace. Lu Gonggong immediately trotted back all the way. Yuzhu said in surprise, "What's wrong with Lu Gonggong? It's dark. Are you not afraid of falling when you run so fast?"

"Because there are things that are more important than falling and falling!"

Unexpectedly, the queen was so fast that she left, and the queen couldn't wait to find the emperor. The emperor was astonished by the queen. Zhou Jin had always been a thorn in the emperor's eyes and a thorn in the flesh. She wanted to get rid of it quickly, but she never had the opportunity to get rid of him right! First, it was to take into account the withering of the bloodline of the Dayin royal family, and second, because of the special relationship between the emperor and Zhou Jin, if Zhou Jin had something rashly, the emperor would be the most suspicious.

Now, the queen is going to adopt Duan, and the emperor has a successor. It is much easier to get Zhou Jin to go south to supervise the army, and the troops are in chaos. It is much easier to get rid of Zhou Jin without any trace than in the capital!
