After suffering so many losses, Chen Zhijing seemed much more stable.

In fact, he is not unwise, but because he has been arrogant for a long time and has never encountered many setbacks, he has become more arrogant.

I always think that I have great power and no one can do anything about him.

Now that he suffered repeated setbacks, he finally recovered. Today, he seemed particularly calm and smiled at Chen Rujin: "Uncle Wang is in good health, very tough."

When Chen Rujin mentioned this Uncle Wang, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's a blessing to have such a physical body at his age."

"What did Uncle Wang say?" Chen Renjin raised his eyes and couldn't help looking at Chen Zhijing.

Chen Zhijing narrowed his eyes and said, "I only said one thing, and I am going to be ready to finish it."

The final is the term for playing chess, namely the so-called "layout", "middle plate" and "official", everything has become clear, and the territory and life and death can be roughly determined.

Chen Rujin was silent for a moment: "What does this mean?"

Chen Zhijing smiled bitterly: "I don't know that Uncle Wang's mansion is unpredictable, but I saw that he was calm and calm, and it seemed that he had not been affected by what happened recently."

Chen Rujin also smiled bitterly. Uncle Wang couldn't figure it out, so he just didn't think about it. So he didn't think about it anymore. Then he raised his eyes and looked at Chen Zhijing deeply.

"Brother Wang, Uncle Wang is really too mysterious. His ambition is probably not necessarily for His Majesty to be able to rule smoothly. Therefore, when dealing with him, you must be more careful and have some precautions."

Chen Zhijing smiled helplessly: "How could I not know? But now, can I still turn back? I can't turn back. He has too many things to hold. Besides, Uncle Wang is unfathomable and can't hide many things from him at all. If he lets him know something, it would be a big concern."

Chen Rujin nodded.

Nothing has ever been said since then.

…………

The news has been quickly reached the palace.

The Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Mu rarely have a meal together today. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law both remain silent, and seemed to have both thoughts.

Suddenly, the Empress Dowager put down the chopsticks. The eunuch beside him was about to step forward. She waved her hand, and Empress Dowager Mu hurriedly said, "Mother, why do you eat so little today?"

The Empress Dowager suddenly raised her eyes, looked at Empress Dowager Mu, and then said lightly: "Somehow, my eyelids are always twitching today, and I always feel that something is about to happen."

Queen Mother Mu smiled and said, "When I talk about this, I heard that there is a Mr. Fang in our Luoyang, but..."

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she couldn't help but sneer: "It's just a person who pretends to be a ghost. Don't look at how many people in the capital hold him, but the Ai family has long known his way. His Shanzhuang seems to be saving people, but in fact, there are a lot of deficiencies."

Empress Dowager Mu had already picked up a warm scarf and wiped his mouth, smiling, but his heart couldn't help but skip a little. Mr. Fang has become famous recently. As the Empress Dowager who is a supplementary government, why didn't she touch this person's bottom? However... This person practiced the Five Ghosts's Transportation Art in the Name of Shanzhuang? Mingjingsi seemed to have inquired, and there was no problem in the account. How could the Queen Mother know clearly what Mingjingsi couldn't find out.

She knew very well that the Queen Mother would never be groundless. Since Queen Mother said this with certainty, then it would be true that it would be true.

But these casual words are really terrifying to think about it. Usually, the mother of the queen doesn't leave the gate of the palace and doesn't step into the gate. How could she understand the matter outside the palace clearly?

Queen Mother Mu wanted to know how this Empress Dowager knew all this. Although she had a lot of thoughts, she still pretended not to show her voice and said to the Empress Dowager with a smile: "There is such a thing. If this is the case, it would be a big deal. Since the Empress Dowager knows it, why not tell her sons and ministers to continue to tell her to take this village..."

"You don't understand." The Empress Dowager looked at the female official around him, and the eunuch glanced at him.

After the female official and the eunuchs got the hint, they bowed and stepped back.

In this small hall, only the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Mu were left, with extremely imprisonment.

The two looked at each other.

The Empress Dowager sighed and then said lightly: "If he really did not occupy the property in Shanzhuang, the Ai family would never be spared. He would definitely eliminate this person. This person is very polite and seeks fame and reputation. If he has no selfishness, think about it, a person can make people from all over the ministers and peddlers admire him. Can the court keep such a person?"

"But it was precisely because he secretly brought the property from Shanzhuang to satisfy his selfishness in the name of doing good that the Ai family was willing to keep him. Such a person... has selfishness, and people have selfishness and greed, it is not a bad thing. Such a person seems to be the so-called nobles, but in fact, although he has obtained a lot of money, hasn't it also made many ministers willing to take out money and grain to do some good things? I'm afraid that a person without selfishness will not be able to control him if he has no selfishness. If he wins the hearts of the people again, it will be even more likely to shake the foundation of the country. There is nothing wrong with keeping such a person, at least it can give the people more hope. In the event of a disaster, it will never make the people desperate."

Queen Mother Mu lowered her eyebrows and ordered for a moment, and immediately understood the meaning.

A person without selfishness is admired by countless people. If the court has any mistakes or public grievances arise, such a person will inevitably be a firewood. If he has ambitions, wouldn't he be able to subvert the Great Chen Dynasty?

If a person has no selfishness at all, he will definitely become an idol in the hearts of the people. This is terrible, difficult to control and even more puzzling.

But even though the Empress Dowager, who is greedy like Mr. Fang, said nothing, has his own handle after all. If something happens, he can control him at any time. Moreover, if a person accumulates a lot of wealth, he will inevitably be greedy for life and death, because he has too many things that he cannot lose. Such a person is the most harmless.

So what if you keep it and don’t expose him and let him plunder some wealth? For the court, there is no difference between money and grain, whether in the hands of A and B, or in the hands of C and D. As long as there is no trouble.

When Empress Dowager Mu heard the words, she nodded in praise: "My mother is aware of it."

"Oh..." The Empress Dowager sighed, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Empress Dowager Mu, and then slowly spoke: "Mu, there are still many things you need to learn. Although you have been assisting in the administration for several years, the Ai family knows your suffering. In the past, there were people who shelter you from the wind and rain, but now many things are carried by you, a woman."

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly before saying, "There is actually one thing in the Ai family that I have always wanted to ask you."

"It's all right for the Queen Mother to ask." After hearing the Queen Mother's words, Empress Dowager Mu felt a sudden soreness, and then she quickly adjusted her mentality.

A sharp light suddenly passed through the turbid and gray eyes of the Empress Dowager, and asked very seriously: "Why didn't Zhang Jing go to find the prince again?"

When Empress Dowager Mu heard this, her heart skipped a beat and she became flustered.

Zhang Jing has always been a secret mission, and not many people know about this.

But why did the mother know?

What is even more terrifying is not this. If the queen mother knew that Zhang Jing was responsible for secretly searching for the prince, it might not be strange. What is most terrifying is how could she know that Zhang Jing began to relax her mission of searching.

The Empress Dowager had no expression on her face, but asked calmly: "To be honest, have you already known something? The Ai family knows you. If the prince is lost, you will never give up. You will see people in your life and see corpses when you die. You have visited people... or..." Speaking of this, the Empress Dowager's voice trembled slightly: "Or, you have found the corpse."

"I..." Empress Dowager Mu's expression turned pale and she was extremely frightened.

This fear is that she will never know why the Empress Dowager knew so many things.

The real fear is more than that. If I learned any news, there are still traces to follow, because I could ask Mingjingsi to inquire, but what about the mother? How did the mother contact the outside of the palace and who was offering her advice and dispatch? Queen Mu knew nothing about all of this.

The Empress Dowager suddenly smiled: "Okay, you don't have to be afraid, so the Ai family won't ask more questions, but you have to understand one thing. Like you, the Ai family is waiting for a miracle. This miracle has been waiting for fifteen years. Perhaps, if you wait for another fifteen years, even when the Ai family dies, you will never wait. The Ai family actually has no hope. They just want to see that child. If he lives, even at a glance, and want to know where he is now, whether it is cold or hot, and whether his life is hard. It is said that the heavenly family is ruthless. No, as long as it is a human being, it is affectionate, but it depends on what kind of person he is right."

The Empress Dowager's eyes turned red as she said, and she had the urge to cry. But just a moment, she curled her tears and frowned slightly: "But, the Ai family has more important things to do. What we say here today comes from fifteen years ago, fifteen years ago, the person who arranged this matter was the real concern of the Ai family. The Ai family was in their forties and was about to die. There was nothing to look forward to. The only thing they hoped for was to preserve the country of Da Chen and retain the last bit of decency of the Da Chen royal family."
