To put it bluntly, King Ji is really brave enough to say that King Ji really dares to say it! Aren’t he afraid that Zhou Jin will be punished? King Ji is not careful not to be particular about the rules. On the contrary, King Ji is actually a person who knows how to behave very well, but he actually rejected Zhou Jin so directly, which is really beyond Xu Shu’s expectations.

So what to do now?

Since Zhou Jin mentioned that the matter of King Donghai must be carried out to the end, he would not give up just because of King Ji's rejection.

I have already let King De go!

This was not a very difficult job. Zhou Jin asked King Ji to come to find out whether the letter from King Donghai was true, and more so he wanted to test King Ji's attitude. However, King Ji's attitude cast a shadow in Zhou Jin and Xu Shu's hearts. Xu Shu thought of the friendship between her and Princess Ji, and the shadow became deeper.

King Ji Xu Shu hesitated for a moment. It was not that she wanted to plead for King Ji. First, she understood King Ji's nature, not as generous as he showed. King Ji held a grudge, otherwise he would not have held a grudge against the Deng family for decades. If King Ji didn't understand King Ji's intention, he should be more cautious. Second, she is Zhou Jin's wife now, and she should take Zhou Jin's interests and position as a priority. Although King Ji has made contributions, it is not good to be proud of himself!

King Ji did not take credit for himself, he was just a resentful person! I had broken my trust in him first, so I can't blame him for anything! King Ji wanted to see that the Deng family was defeated, but Zhou Jin appointed the Deng family again.

Zhou Jin sighed. Although it made people feel pretentious when he said it, he really had difficulties in breaking his trust in King Ji.

In order to balance the situation in the court, I had to use the Deng family! Zhou Jin's original plan did not have anything to do with the Deng family, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. The Fu family's ambition was revealed too early, forcing Zhou Jin to be wary in advance, so he ignored the agreement with King Ji.

This matter also has a great responsibility. At that time, I was just thinking about taking revenge and wanting to take revenge on the Fu family, so I completely forgot the grudge between King Ji and Deng family!

It’s not your fault! Zhou Jin raised Xu Shu’s face aloofly. The Fu family will pay the price if they do something wrong. I don’t want to see you compromise for me. I will handle this matter well. Don’t worry!

Well! Xu Shu nodded. Thinking of the little movement behind the Deng family, she also felt that it was a hidden danger and had to be taken precautions. So she told Zhou Jin that the Deng family had just gained power and began to win over the power, planning to eliminate dissidents. If he succeeded, the next step would be to target the Zheng family. By then, the Deng family would dominate and you would be restricted in your actions!

Emperor Yingzong is the best example. He valued the Deng family, but was forced by the Deng family almost to burn both sides and suffered both losses. This also gave Zhou Jin an opportunity to take advantage of it. Otherwise, Zhou Jin would not have been so smooth if he wanted to install his own manpower in the court.

Using the Deng family to check and balance the Fu family is just a temporary measure. I will slowly promote officials and gradually disperse the power in the Deng family and replace it, but this takes time and cannot be done in a short period of time.

But after such a long time, can King Ji wait? Xu Shu asked a question mark in her heart. Forget it, she was no longer here at that time, so she should worry more about what was happening in front of her.

I hope King Ji is a wise man.

Knowing the current affairs is not a bad thing. If King Ji knew the current affairs, he should know that there would be no good end to opposing Zhou Jin. He would endure it until the day when the Deng family paid the price. At that time, he should be able to let it go.

Don't worry, King Ji is a smart person, he can't do stupid things! And he directly expressed his resentment towards me on his face, which shows that he is open and honest. If he still does the same as before, he will be worried!

Xu Shu waited for a few days and finally waited for the late Empress Dowager.

The Ai family has long said that they want to come and see you. How are you doing? But aren’t you used to the meals in the palace?

Empress Dowager Xie was concerned, but I was just a temporary spleen and stomach disorder, so there was nothing serious!

That's good! You have always been weak, so you should pay attention to it!

Yes, I will definitely be very careful! Xu Shu already knows the purpose of the Empress Dowager.

You kid has always been so cautious and unwilling to say a word of anything, for fear of saying something wrong!

The Empress Dowager laughed, I am so kind!

The Ai family knows that the Ai family knows that you are so kind of person and always live carefully. It’s not easy! The Empress Dowager sighed. When the Ai family first entered the palace, they were as careful and cautious as you. But you are blessed. They were the first queen to carry in from the Weiyang Gate. I don’t know how many people would envy such blessings! The Ai family is very envious!

This sentence is the truth of the Empress Dowager. Which woman doesn’t want to marry so gloriously? Even though she sat from the princess to the Empress Dowager’s position, it was still a great regret for the Empress Dowager to not enter the palace from Weiyangmen.

Xu Shu smiled and said, "Your blessings are not comparable to those of you!"

You child is too slandering, right? Your blessing is far more than that! The Empress Dowager looked at Xu Shu with a smile. The Ai family has experienced emperors of four dynasties, and has never seen any emperor favoring concubines as much as the emperor treats you!

Xu Shu lowered her head and seemed shy and couldn't bear to be shy. The Empress Dowager couldn't help but smile happily. The Ai family told the truth. At this age of the Ai family, she wanted to see the harmony and happiness of the younger generations. You and the emperor were so affectionate. The Ai family felt happy in their eyes! Maybe it was because the Ai family and Emperor Wenzong were not perfect enough and felt regretful, so they wanted to make up for it for the younger generation. I hope you and the emperor can be harmonious and long-lasting!

Xu Shu's face turned slightly red, the Empress Dowager nodded with satisfaction, and changed her mind. However, the Ai family is lucky than you. Wenzong's biological mother went there earlier. When the Ai family entered the palace, they could make the decision freely. There was no one above like you, and they were controlled everywhere! If the Ai family hadn't come forward to help you solve the situation a few days ago, how difficult it would be for you to be stuck in the middle!

Xu Shu raised her head at the right time and showed a hint of confusion and caution. I am a junior, and I only respect my elders and dare not complain at all!

You are sensible, but the Ai family feels sad when they look at you! The Empress Dowager took Xu Shu's hand mercilessly and calculated carefully. You have known each other for the longest time in this palace. You also understand how the Ai family treats you.

The Empress Dowager treats me very well!

The Ai family knows that you are a grateful child! The Ai family has also inherited your love. Now seeing you being stuck between the two empress dowagers, the Ai family wants to help you. The Empress of the Central Palace is the leader of the harem. How can you do it without any real name?
