"Prioritize the country?"
"What a good way to put the country first. Lord Yu, this widow has already tolerated it enough, but look at King Hun, he wants to force this widow to death!”
Sun Ruowei shouted at Yu Qian angrily.
At this moment, she was also very afraid in her heart. Therefore, she wanted to use a fierce appearance to show her final bottom line, trying to let Zhu Qiyu know that she was not to be trifled with.
Yu Qian was silent. Although Zhu Qiyu's behavior was very excessive, he could not stop it.
The lesser of two evils, Sun Ruowei could only make a concession.
"Empress Dowager, consider the big picture."
Li Yongchang walked forward and said in a low voice.
Although Zhu Qiyu was too much, pressing him step by step, what could Sun Ruowei do now? If she risked her life, perhaps she could bring some harm to Zhu Qiyu, but that would also destroy Big Ming.
"Yes, Empress Dowager. King Hun is searching for assassins for your safety.”
Jiao Jing said.
While the few of them were talking, the young eunuch that Cheng Jing had sent to ask Zhu Qiyu for instructions returned. He had also brought Zhu Qiyu's recovery. Yu Qian's appearance in Cining Palace was indeed under Zhu Qiyu's orders.
Cheng Jing nodded and stepped forward to salute Yu Qian."Lord Yu, you can participate in the search of Cining Palace.”
He was very puzzled and did not understand why Zhu Qiyu valued Yu Qian so much. However, this was clearly not the time to consider this.
"Yes!"
Yu Qian nodded, his expression calm.
He was also very clear in his heart that his intervention in the matter of Ci Ning Palace this time could only protect Sun Ruowei's life.
And this was Zhu Qiyu's disguised compromise to the civil officials.
"Empress Dowager, forget it. Let them search. With Lord Yu present, Cheng Jing wouldn't dare to go too far.”
"That's right. Yu Qian's appearance is a civil official's attitude. Empress Dowager, let's avoid King Hun's sharp edge for now.”
Li Yongchang and Jiao Jing said to Sun Ruowei.
They also reacted at this time. Although they could not rope Yu Qian in, from the current situation, Yu Qian was not roped in by Zhu Qiyu.
Sun Ruowei stared at Yu Qian for a while and said in a deep voice,"Lord Yu, this widow believes that you are not someone who fawns on power.”
With that, she pulled Zhu Jianshen up and turned to leave.
Obviously, she chose to compromise in the end, but it left Yu Qian with a difficult problem.
Yu Qian didn't have any reaction and said to Cheng Jing,"Eunuch Cheng, let's go in and search for the assassin.”
He understood Sun Ruowei's words, but it didn't matter to him, because he was doing it for Da Ming from the beginning to the end, and not to rely on Zhu Qiyu.
In comparison, in the depths of his heart, he hoped that Zhu Qizhen's line would sit on the throne.
There was no other reason, it was just orthodox!
"Good!"
Cheng Jing nodded and waved to the Embroidered Uniform Guards behind him."Search. We can't let go of any corner. We must ensure the Empress Dowager's safety.”
"Yes, Eunuch!"
The Embroidered Uniform Guards agreed and then barged into Cining Palace.
Li Yongchang and Jiao Jing looked at each other and sighed in their hearts. Their expressions were filled with helplessness.
"Lord Yu, let's go in as well.”
Cheng Jing said to Yu Qian.
Yu Qian nodded and walked into Cining Palace.
...
Ten minutes later!
"Empress Dowager, save me!"
"Empress Dowager, save me!"
“......”
More than a dozen elderly people from Ci Ning Palace were captured. They all looked terrified. They did not expect that a disaster would suddenly descend from the sky.
Yu Qian frowned slightly and said to Cheng Jing,"Eunuch Cheng, isn't it a little inappropriate to have so many people?”
He didn't mention the assassin because he knew that it was a cover that Zhu Qiyu had thrown out.
Cheng Jing shook his head and said," Lord Yu, it's better to kill wrongly than to let go. Otherwise, if something happens to the Empress Dowager, who will be responsible?"”
He had to be killed. Otherwise, how would he explain to Zhu Qiyu?
Li Yongchang's eyes widened and he was dumbfounded. He looked at everything in disbelief."This…"
Among the people who were captured, there were a few people who had similar status as him. However, at this moment, they were captured. Zhu Qiyu had really changed. This made an inexplicable chill rise in his heart.
"Eunuch Li, do you know how much King Hun has changed?”
Jiao Jing said with a bitter smile when he saw Li Yongchang's expression.
He had said so much just now, but it was far less direct for Li Yongchang to see it with his own eyes.
Li Yongchang's expression was downcast as he swallowed with difficulty.""Isn't King Hun afraid at all?”
"Afraid? Tsk..."
Jiao Jing shook his head and sneered in disdain.
He didn't expect that Li Yongchang could still say such stupid words at this point. He really didn't know how this old guy could stay in front of Sun Ruowei for so many years.
......
Palace of Heavenly Purity!
After Yu Qian left, Zhu Qiyu discussed with Wang Zhi, Hu Bi, Jin Lian, and the others about the Wala Empire going south. Then, he let them leave.
As he did not rest well last night, he suddenly relaxed and felt a strong sense of fatigue.
The body was the capital of revolution.
Zhu Qiyu did not insist and went straight to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to rest.
The 9,000 Breaking Ranks unit was firmly stationed beside Zhu Qiyu, protecting his safety.
Although they had already taken over the military power of the Imperial City, the loyalty of these Imperial City guards was probably so low that it made one's hair stand on end.
If it wasn't for the powerful and powerless intimidation of the Breaking Ranks Camp, the guards of the Imperial City would probably rebel at any moment and charge into the Imperial Palace to kill him.
After arriving at the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Zhu Qiyu couldn't care less about his emotions. He fell asleep immediately. For the past day and night, he had been sitting on all kinds of arrangements. His mind had been in a high state of tension. He was really too tired.
......
When she woke up, the sky was already dark.
Zhu Qiyu rubbed his sleepy eyes and got off the bed.
"Your Highness, you're awake."
When Cheng Jing saw Zhu Qiyu wake up, he hurriedly went over.
He had already settled the matter of Cining Palace, and after that, he had also cleansed Kun Ning Palace.
With Sun Ruowei lowering her head, Empress Qian of the Palace of Earthly Tranquility did not face too many obstacles. It was just that Princess Changde was a little aggressive and clamored to see Zhu Qiyu.
"Go, instruct the imperial kitchen to prepare some food.”
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand at Cheng Jing and said indifferently.
After sleeping for half a day, he felt like he could eat a cow.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Cheng Jing nodded and turned to leave.
Zhu Qiyu looked at Cheng Jing's back as he left and suddenly remembered that he hadn't signed in today, so he quickly called out the system: "System, sign in!"
