Chapter 541: Enjoy the treatment of slipping into the water
"Is there any news?" The Empress Dowager's expression was gloomy, and her tone was filled with a strong murderous intent.
After seeing Chen Xiyi's efficiency in doing things, she was quite dissatisfied after seeing the abilities of these people under her command.
Thinking of the other party's ability again, it became increasingly difficult to sleep and eat.
"The Empress Dowager calms down. Chen Xiyi has a strange origin and is quite extraordinary. He may have escaped from the imperial capital long ago." The dark guard commander kneeling on the ground was covered in sweat on his forehead. He knew that this time he really couldn't get through.
Look at this, it is obvious that I am impatient.
But they really tried their best and could not find Chen Xiyi in the mouth of the Empress Dowager. The imperial capital was basically almost overturned.
"Baoshi, it's really a waste. A living person can run away." The Empress Dowager took a deep breath. If he really ran away, the matter would be very serious. With the other party's ability, he might be hiding in the dark, ready to expose his fangs to take revenge on himself at any time.
Looking at the secret guard commander kneeling on the ground, the Empress Dowager suddenly remembered a possibility. Could it be that Chen Xiyi had already taken control of the secret guard? At this moment, it was not that the secret guard commander did not find the other party, but deliberately concealed it.
Can he take the Ministry of Personnel within three days and the Ministry of Revenue in five days, what about the secret guards who have been with him for more than a month?
The Empress Dowager had some speculations before, but now that she is not doing anything well, she has come up with this idea.
If it is true, then how many people have been controlled by the imperial guards, except for the secret guards, the three provinces and six ministries, and the imperial guards?
Thinking of this, she felt chilling. If this is the case, wouldn’t it mean that although she openly held the power of the court, she actually made wedding clothes for others?
"Get up and tell me if there are any clues." The Empress Dowager suppressed all kinds of thoughts in her heart and then asked.
The secret guard commander was stunned. He didn't expect that he would say this. Shouldn't he be punished heavily or directly chopped his head? Why did he ask this?
"Report to the Empress Dowager, there are no clues, just as if this thief has evaporated from the world, without a trace." The secret guard commander did not dare to get up, but gritted his teeth and told the truth.
There has indeed been no clue from Chen Xiyi these days. The biggest clue is that he joined the Eastern Palace and was finally recruited by the Empress Dowager. As for the recruitment, there are some clues, but since the new emperor ascended the throne, he has completely disappeared, and there is no record of leaving the city.
This is also normal. Chen Xiyi did not walk there, he moved it, of course there is no record of leaving the city. Moreover, with his strength, it is not a very simple thing for others to ignore themselves.
Therefore, the secret guards had no clues at all. Even if they invited some Taoists to peek, they would find nothing.
"There is no clue. There is really no clue at all. Or you secret guards surrendered to each other!" The Empress Dowager said gritting her teeth.
This made the secret guards stunned and surrendered to the other party? What's the benefit?
If he lets the commander go, and he will be loyal to a white man, he will become a fool.
"The Empress Dowager is clear and I am loyal to the Empress Dowager. How can I surrender to someone who doesn't know what it means to be." Of course, I have to explain quickly at this time. If I don't explain, wouldn't I have to pay my life?
The Empress Dowager was actually confused in her heart. When she heard the words of the secret guard, her face looked much better.
She felt that she was a little bit full of weapons. If the other party really had such ability, how could he not take action until this time? Maybe it was because the situation was wrong, so he ran away.
After all, the other party is just a hunter's son and has no fame. How could he buy so many people?
After thinking of this link, I realized that the mastery of the three provinces and six ministries was also achieved by secret guards, which was equivalent to taking advantage of my own power, otherwise the other party would not be able to do it.
As a result, she felt relieved and couldn't help but feel funny: "I've been trembling these days, but I ended up scaring myself. If the other party is really capable, why can't I hide it?"
"Okay, go down and get a long-term mission. Once you find out about Chen Xiyi, you will be killed immediately without mercy." The Empress Dowager said with a rare hint of relaxation in her tone.
"Yes, the Empress Dowager." The secret guard commander also breathed a sigh of relief. He did not dare to guess what the situation was like. Over the years, it has become increasingly capricious. Many eunuchs and palace maids who served were killed one after another, which made the entire harem panic all day long.
Even though he seemed a lot happier today, he did not dare to relax his vigilance too much, for fear of being out of the prison if he accidentally got out of the heavenly prison. After all, this is not without precedent.
Before this, the Minister of Justice was so useless, and then the matter was handed over to him.
I remember that the Minister of Justice had vowed to arrest him for three days, and then, I was so bragging that I was directly dismissed from office and investigated the prison, and even implicated the family. Therefore, when facing the Empress Dowager, the secret guard commander had to deal with it carefully, for fear that he would say the wrong thing and let him fall into a place of doom.
After leaving Shangyang Palace, the secret guard commander was truly relieved. He felt in a trance that he was soaked in cold sweat. This feeling was like walking in front of the gate of hell.
What does it mean to be with the king like a tiger? That's it.
When he was still the queen of heaven, he did not have such great authority. This Empress Dowager was not so unpredictable. Now he could not understand what the Empress Dowager was thinking.
He even had the urge to resign, but it was just an impulse and did not dare to resign. Since the Empress Dowager came to power, their secret guards have been exposed on the surface. He, the secret guard commander, knew too much. Once he resigned without the protection of the secret guards, he would probably have to be suicide at home the next day.
The secret guard has too many handles and secrets for all officials, which is a time bomb for everyone.
They dared not provoke this big bomb. After all, the Empress Dowager is there, but if they leave the secret guard, it will not be a bomb, but a lamb to be slaughtered.
Moreover, even if he wanted to leave, the Empress Dowager might not be willing. Basically, few of the secret guards could have a good ending. They were either dealt with secretly or died because of the failure of the mission.
In short, don't think about it if you end up being good.
If it weren't forbidden, who would have been willing to join the secret guard to do such a shameful thing?
After the secret guards were in charge, the Empress Dowager reviewed all the memorials in his hand, and then said, "Come on the Imperial Garden."
After removing the self-encourage from his body, the Empress Dowager finally felt a good mood, and also remembered that she had not gone to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers for a long time, so she could just go to relax.
The eunuchs and palace maids naturally did not dare to disobey. They hurried to prepare the sedan chair and brought a large number of imperial guards to protect the safety. This attitude was similar to the original Emperor Xi.
But this is also normal. Although it is said to be the biggest in the new emperor on the surface, in fact, the empress dowager who is in power is the real power, and he has filial piety and righteousness. Even if the new emperor grows up in the future, he will be suppressed.
Unless you really regain your power tomorrow, there is a high probability that you will only become a fertility machine.
The Empress Dowager did not have the idea of cultivating the intention of Emperor Xi. It was more for his own rights. Although Emperor Xi was also keen on power, he also had a tempered mentality. In the existence of the dynasty, the Empress Dowager was still much worse.
Although the emperor is his grandson, he is not his own family. It is more like he is irrelevant to the flood after his death, it is best to keep the power in his hands.
When he came to the imperial garden and felt the fresh air, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but move her body.
The pool in front of me was sparkling, and many precious fish wandered around it, as if they had been specially treated and were not afraid of people. Instead, they had a little relative. When they saw the Empress Dowager standing by the pond, many fish wandered over, and it seemed like they were asking for food.
At this moment, the Empress Dowager was shocked when she looked at the reflection in the water.
She saw Chen Xiyi in the reflection, and was shocked, and took two steps back and almost fell. Then she turned her head decisively, but there was nothing, and there was still only those eunuchs and palace maids, and there was no Chen Xiyi at all.
"Empress Dowager, be careful." A eunuch hurried over and supported her.
She broke free from the eunuch's support, then walked over and took a look at the pond, but there was no reflection, and it looked like a false alarm.
'It seems that there was an illusion. These days, it should be a shock to the gods and needs to be well-regulated.' She quickly calmed down. In this palace, the country's fortune was prevalent, and it was impossible to get into illusions. Even if the Taoist, the best Taoist in the world, came, and could not perform Taoism here.
So naturally, it was because I was shocked by God and led to hallucinations.
Just as I was thinking, I suddenly felt that there seemed to be a malicious gaze behind her. It felt like I was being stared at by a wild beast. I turned my head and followed my eyes, but there was nothing, just some flowers and plants.
At this time, she didn't think it was an hallucination, but was likely to have been drugged in her food.
Because Taoism cannot affect her, the only place to target her is naturally diet.
Just as I was about to say something, my feet slipped and I fell into the pond.
When the eunuchs and palace maids saw this scene, they were shocked and hurriedly wanted to save the person, but they found that the Empress Dowager had sunk directly under the pond and kept fluttering there.
One by one, they jumped out of the pond to pull the person up, but suddenly they found that the Empress Dowager was as heavy as a pound, and the random fluttering resulted in the fact that she couldn't pull it up at all.
All of the eunuchs and palace maids were confused and could only get confused and want to pull the person up.
However, as time passed, the Empress Dowager's movements became increasingly weak. Until she stopped moving, she was rescued. However, after she was rescued, she had lost her life and became a corpse.
This made everyone present pale.
"The Empress Dowager, Bintian!!!" I don't know who shouted this, which made everyone feel ashamed.
