Lu Zhi's eyes widened as he looked at Yu Huatian and Gu Fengming with a stunned expression. He immediately understood the crux of the matter.
"Mother, it seems that you are not too stupid.”
Gu Fengming smiled.
"There's no need to hide anything now. Mother, do you really think my Imperial Brother is a fool? Would he really hand over the lives of his wife and children to a nine year old child?”
"You should know better than me what the current situation of the Great Feng Dynasty is like. Imperial Brother was able to balance all the forces in the eight years since he ascended the throne, balancing the internal and external troubles of the Great Feng Dynasty to this point.”

Gu Fengming sneered and stared at Lu Zhi. In the eyes of outsiders, Gu Longming was a mediocre person who only knew how to balance the forces of all sides. He allowed the vassal kings to do whatever they wanted in the local areas, watched the four provincial governors of the northwest grow, and allowed the imperial court to fight endlessly.
However, who would have thought that if Gu Longming was really mediocre, he would have been gnawed to the bone long ago. How could he have been able to sit on the throne for eight years?
Gu Longming's death was just an accident. If he was given another ten years, the situation would probably be very different.
How could a person who was not mediocre let a nine-year-old child be regent? If he did that, there must be a reason.
"No, no, how could Yu Huatian be your man?”
Lu Zhi was still unwilling to give up. He looked at Gu Fengming and said.
"Don't struggle. Yu Huatian came from my residence back then, and I was the one who assigned the West Chamber's resume to Yu Huatian. Imperial brother merely took my advice and established the West Chamber.”
"The reason why we built the West Hall is to fight against the East Hall.”
"Mother, do you really think that the Imperial Palace's Inner Academy is still yours?”
Gu Fengming sneered as he looked at Lu Zhi. Over the years, the West and East Chambers seemed to have no disputes, but in fact, the West Chambers had already slowly eroded the East Chambers. It was only because Yu Huatian had been secretive that Wei Zhongxian and Lu Zhi had not noticed.
"You, what do you want?"
Lu Zhi's face was pale, but he was still calm as he looked at Gu Fengming.
"Could it be that you dare to kill this widow? This widow is the empress dowager!”
"It's the former Empress Dowager!"
"When the Crown Prince ascends the throne, Mother, you will be the Grand Empress Dowager.”
"You…"
"Moreover, so what if I wanted to kill you? You taught me that in the current imperial court, if an empress dowager dies, not only will the officials not pursue the matter, they will even secretly rejoice that there is one less problem. Tell me, if I kill you, will all the civil and military officials in the court thank me?”
Gu Fengming sneered. At such a young age, the words he said made Lu Zhi's hair stand on end.
"Wei Zhongxian, what are you waiting for?”
Lu Zhi was frightened. She had never dreamed that she would be threatened by a nine-year-old child one day. Seeing that things were going out of her control, she immediately shouted at Wei Zhongxian.
"Men, men, the King of Qin is plotting a rebellion. The King of Qin wants to kill the Empress Dowager.”
Wei Zhongxian shouted. He was already prepared. The people of the East Hall had already gathered outside. As long as he gave the order, the people outside would all charge in and hack Yu Huatian and Gu Fengming to death.
However, even though Wei Zhongxian thought so, things didn't develop in the direction he thought. No matter how he shouted, there was no movement outside.
"What happened?”
After waiting for a long time without any movement, Wei Zhongxian was a little flustered. He hurriedly asked with a panicked expression.
After a while, the door of the bedroom was pushed open and a person walked in.
The person was wearing the uniform of the East Military Yard. His clothes were stained with blood, and even his face was covered in blood.
"Supervisor, I've already cleaned up the people outside.”
After the other party entered, he said to Yu Huatian.
"Cao, Cao, Cao Zhengchun, how dare you betray me?”
Wei Zhongxian was stunned as he stared at the person who had just entered. Of course, he knew who this person was. It was his trusted aide, Cao Zhengchun, whom he had personally promoted.
But now, seeing Cao Zhengchun actually reply to Yu Huatian, he instantly seemed to understand something.
"Cao Zhengchun?"
"He is Cao Zhengchun?"
Gu Fengming was shocked. He turned to look at the eunuch from the East Chamber. He had never expected Cao Zhengchun to come out.
Cao Zhengchun was also a eunuch in a movie before Gu Fengming transmigrated. He was the supervisor of the East Chamber. He was ruthless, but his luck was a little bad.
What Gu Fengming did not expect was that this guy had actually appeared in this world. It seemed that he was Yu Huatian's man.
"Hmph, Governor Wei, you're wrong. I didn't betray you. I've always been a man of the West Hall, a man of Lord Yu.”
Cao Zhengchun smiled as he looked at Wei Zhongxian.
"Your Highness, this man is a spy I planted in the East Chamber. His name is Cao Zhengchun.”
"Cao Zhengchun, hurry up and greet His Highness.”
"This servant Cao Zhengchun greets Your Highness the King of Qin!”
Hearing this, Cao Zhengchun bowed to Gu Fengming without hesitation.
Gu Fengming nodded and looked at Cao Zhengchun. He was overjoyed. He didn't expect to meet Cao Zhengchun. This guy was an awesome person. If he could be used by him, it would be perfect!
"You…"
Wei Zhongxian was really frightened. He didn't expect things to turn out like this. Looking at Cao Zhengchun, he was terrified. It was obvious that Eternal Peace Palace was under their control.
"Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager…"
Wei Zhongxian was terrified and immediately ran to the empress dowager's side with a face full of fear.
"You, you, you…"
"Qin Wang, you, you, don't kill this widow. This widow will help you become emperor, not giving you any power. Whatever you want, this widow will help you.”
This time, Lu Zhi was afraid. She relied on the East Hall, but she didn't expect the East Hall to be different. It seemed that the East Hall had been eroded by Yu Huatian.
Looking at the situation before him, Lu Zhi understood that he seemed to have lost the upper hand. He only wanted to save his life.
"Hmph, mother, if you had done this earlier, you would have been fine. Why did you have to humiliate yourself? Go to Nangong and retire obediently. As for Wei Zhongxian…"
"Kill him!"
Gu Fengming said coldly without a trace of gentleness in his eyes. A treacherous eunuch like Wei Zhongxian would only get in the way if he were to stay.
"Yes, sir!"
Cao Zhengchun agreed. Without waiting for Yu Huatian to make a move, he stepped forward and grabbed Wei Zhongxian's head. In the next second, Cao Zhengchun exerted force and Wei Zhongxian's head was crushed.
The limp corpse lay on the ground. Gu Fengming glanced at the other party and sneered.
"You, you, you…"
