Chapter 678: Don't let Chu He go back alive
"Madam is so smart. You can recognize me even when I'm wearing a mask." Xiao Yan'an immediately stepped forward to show his courtesy and poured a cup of tea for Ji Chuhe and handed it to her.
“Didn’t I tell you to take good care of the children in the imperial capital?” Ji Chuhe asked back.
"My mother said that I can rest assured that the children are under her care. I am not under house arrest in the imperial capital, and there is no order prohibiting me from leaving the imperial capital. I am very worried about Madam's safety, so I am staying by her side to protect her."
Ji Chuhe had no way to refute these words.
"Then don't reveal your identity for now. Once Tai***'s matter is dealt with, we will return to the capital together."
"Okay." Xiao Yan'an agreed happily, "Then from now on, I will protect Madam closely, twelve hours a day, and never leave her side."
"Mianzhu." Ji Chuhe called out.
"Madam." Mianzhu immediately walked up to Ji Chuhe and waited for orders.
"Make a bed for the prince in the outer room."
"Yes." Mianzhu immediately went down to prepare.
Xiao Yan'an didn't expect that he could live in the room. He was really flattered.
After the bed was made, Xiao Yan'an lay on it with his legs crossed, while Ji Chuhe was still writing a letter under the lamp.
He turned around, supported his head with his hands, and looked at Ji Chuhe quietly.
Ji Chuhe put the letter into a bamboo tube and handed it to Rong Song outside the door.
"Use our own people to deliver the letter to the Empress Dowager as quickly as possible."
"Yes." Rong Song immediately retreated.
When the secret letter reached the hands of the Empress Dowager, Chang Ru also received the secret letter from Li.
Chang Ru put the letter into the candle flame and burned it.
Suddenly, my waist felt tight and I was hugged by Xiao Wenxuan.
Xiao Wenxuan had also read the contents of the letter just now.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother will not have much time left. She will definitely not be able to return to the imperial capital alive. Once she dies, my father will have no choice but to support us. Otherwise, he will not have a good ending either."
"I am still a little worried about Ji Chuhe and Prince Huaiyang." Xiao Wenxuan always felt uneasy.
"Your Majesty, I have no intention of letting Ji Chuhe return to the imperial capital alive." A hint of viciousness flashed in Chang Ru's eyes.
……
The Empress Dowager almost died of anger when she saw the contents of the secret letter!
Ji Chuhe simply told the Empress Dowager the actual situation of the Empress Dowager.
Taiya unexpectedly married Changyi.
Chang Yi was so bold that he refused to let the person go.
Right now, Ji Chuhe wants the Empress Dowager to make a decision on whether to save the Empress Dowager from the dire straits.
The Grand Empress Dowager also has spies in Yancheng. Although they cannot rescue the Empress Dowager, they can still find out some of the actual situation over there.
The news her people brought back was roughly the same as Ji Chuhe's.
That means Ji Chuhe did not lie to her.
It's a pity that her beloved daughter was humiliated by Chang Yi!
She wished she could tear Chang Yi into pieces to avenge her daughter!
Ji Chuhe also brought an important message this time, that Chang Yi's sudden madness and imprisonment of Taixia was related to Chang Ru's mother Li.
This news immediately alerted the Empress Dowager.
Chang Yi has never dared to have any improper thoughts about Tai *** over the years, but he suddenly changed his usual behavior and did such a crazy thing at this moment. There must be a reason.
Or maybe Chang Yi and *** were both plotted against!
"What a Chang Ru! I never thought she would be so ambitious! She even dared to plot against the Empress Dowager!" The Empress Dowager was furious.
"How can I give in? I will never agree to this marriage! Otherwise, I will become a laughing stock in the world! Chang Yi, who has a little military power, dares to ignore the imperial power. If I give in, it will prove that anyone can bully me!"
"Someone, call the Emperor and Chang Ru. I have something to say to them."
"Yes."
Not long after, Xiao Wenxuan and Chang Ru came before the Queen Mother.
"Greetings, Queen Mother." The two of them bowed together.
"Get up. I called you here so late because I want to discuss the matter of the Empress Dowager with you." The Empress Dowager directly brought up the topic.
"Wasn't the marriage between Her Majesty and General Chang handled by Prince Huaiyang and the Crown Prince's wife?" Xiao Wenxuan responded softly.
"That was just a helpless move to save the royal family's reputation, and it was done for the people of the world to see. Your Majesty, don't you understand this truth? In doing this, I was actually saving your reputation in the end."
Xiao Wenxuan choked.
"Based on my understanding of the Queen Mother, she would never agree to marry Chang Yi. Even if she was told that she was willing to marry Chang Yi, it was not her true intention. She must have been coerced by Chang Yi."
Chang Ru secretly glanced at the Empress Dowager and was surprised.
Would the Empress Dowager actually oppose this?
Isn’t the Empress Dowager afraid of losing the support of Yancheng’s 100,000 troops?
Or has the Empress Dowager already gained the support of several other generals and has the confidence to break off relations?
This situation is not good for them!
"Your Majesty, at the court tomorrow morning, you must give an order in front of all the civil and military officials, asking Chang Yi to escort the Queen Mother back to the imperial capital immediately. If he disobeys the order, it will be treason!" said the Empress Dowager in a deep voice.
"Grand Empress Dowager, please calm down first. This matter will cause chaos if we are not careful." Chang Ru advised hurriedly.
"Great chaos? Chang Ru, you are Chang Yi's daughter, you should know him very well, right? Because I didn't agree to marry my daughter off, he dared to rebel against me, right?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant." Chang Ru denied it immediately.
"Chang Yi's behavior is not only trampling on the face of the Queen Mother, but also trampling on the color of the entire royal family. He does not take the Emperor and me seriously! Allowing such a minister to hold great power is simply raising a tiger to harm himself. He should be dealt with as soon as possible. Since ancient times, treacherous ministers and rebels have never had a good end!" The tone of the Empress Dowager did not allow for any discussion.
Chang Ru's face turned cold, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.
Why did the Empress Dowager's attitude suddenly become so stubborn, leaving no room for negotiation!
If Tai*** came back alive, all her plans would be in vain.
"Grand Empress Dowager, I dare not say that I know father very well, but I am clear about his feelings for the Dowager. The Dowager has been alone for many years and needs someone who understands her and takes care of her. I have nothing to repay my father for his kindness in raising me, so I will ask the Grand Empress Dowager for permission to let him take good care of the Dowager! He is so loyal to the Dowager and would never be disrespectful to the Emperor or the Grand Empress Dowager. It's just that he loves the Dowager too much." Chang Ru knelt down directly in front of the Grand Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager looked at Chang Ru's sincere expression and was almost persuaded by her!
Do you really think she is as stupid as a pig?
She still knew what her daughter had done.
How could Chang Ru be so kind as to wish Tai*** well?
