Chapter 140 The spy who fell in love with the male protagonist
After washing up, Rong Ji waved her hand and asked the servants to leave. The palace servants did not dare to raise any objection and left obediently.
When only the mother and son were left in the room, Rong Ji calmed down and began to ask questions carefully.
King Kang did not hide anything and told everything he knew.
After listening to King Kang's story, Rongji's last bit of hope was gone.
"Rui'er, don't do anything for now. Let's see what happens in Chang'an."
Adhering to the principle of "the more you do, the more mistakes you make," Rong Ji warned.
She wanted revenge, but she didn't want her son to be in danger even more. Her son was her greatest support. Without her son, she could do nothing.
King Kang would not listen to other people's words, but he would listen to his own mother's words, because he knew that his mother would not harm him.
After leaving Rong Ji, King Kang cleaned up the remaining stall and then remembered to contact the spies in Chang'an.
King Kang discovered the problem after this contact. He sent three letters in a row, but each one fell into the sea. He felt a pang in his heart and thought to himself that something was wrong.
If he guessed correctly, the spies he had planted in Chang'an had been eliminated or controlled.
He was right. All the stalls he had set up in Chang'an were indeed uprooted by the emperor.
Now that we know who the mastermind is, these spies have no value in existing.
As the emperor, Qi Lan had no mercy at all and directly wiped out the enemies completely.
Queen Mother Song Jia belatedly realized that her son had grown up.
The Queen Mother couldn't be a fool to have reached her current position among all the women in the harem.
She may not have noticed it at first, but as time went on, she realized that something was wrong.
But she couldn't do anything because of her physical condition.
Her confidants in the court were removed one by one by the emperor. Now she is just like the emperor before, with only a title but no power.
Cough cough cough~~
"Queen Mother, are you okay?"
Qiu Chan supported her, her eyes full of worry.
She waved.
"Aijia, it's okay."
"Chunxiao, please ask the emperor to come to my palace. I have something to tell him."
Chun Xiao said respectfully.
"Slave, obey your orders!"
The emperor was not surprised at all when he heard that the empress dowager was looking for him.
He found it strange that the Queen Mother didn't look for him since he had been making so much noise recently.
He asked Chunxiao to go back and tell the Queen Mother that he would go to the Queen Mother's palace to have lunch with her at noon.
Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Song Jia ordered the palace maids to ask the kitchen to prepare lunch.
At noon, Xicai saw that the emperor was still reading memorials and had no intention of moving, so he couldn't help but remind him in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, it's already noon, time for lunch."
The emperor paused holding the memorial, thinking of the empress dowager. He folded the memorial and put it aside, stood up, flicked his sleeves, and walked out with his hands behind his back.
"Go to the Queen Mother's Palace."
Xicai flicked his whisk and shouted loudly to the outside.
"Prepare your carriage, Changxin Palace."
The palace servants outside were very fast. When the emperor stepped out of the hall, the carriage was already waiting at the door.
The emperor walked straight to the carriage and sat down.
After the emperor sat down, Xicai screamed.
"Get started!"
In Changsheng Palace, the Queen Mother had the palace maids wash and dress her up early. After I dressed her up, her originally haggard face looked a lot more energetic.
The emperor strode into Changxin Palace and first respectfully saluted the empress dowager.
Only after the Empress Dowager called on him to stand up did he sit down opposite her.
When the people arrived, the Queen Mother glanced at Qiu Chan who was standing next to her.
Qiu Chan understood immediately, bowed silently, and walked out of the hall.
After a while, palace servants came in from outside in an orderly manner, carrying dishes.
The Queen Mother did not keep any palace maids to serve her.
The mother and son finished their lunch quietly, and then the empress dowager turned her gaze to the emperor.
Looking at her handsome and handsome son, the empress dowager clearly realized that her son had grown up without her noticing.
Seeing that the Queen Mother was staring at him, the Emperor spoke first.
"Mother, just ask whatever you want to ask!"
Before the Emperor came, the Empress Dowager had many questions to ask, but now that he was here, she didn't know where to start.
Finally, he just said this slowly.
"My son has grown up."
The emperor was prepared to be questioned by the empress dowager, but he was a little surprised that the empress dowager did not question him.
Since the Empress Dowager didn't ask, the Emperor wasn't going to say anything.
Now that the emperor has all the power in his hands, he no longer needs to fear the empress dowager, so he stopped giving her medicine, and the empress dowager's health gradually recovered.
However, after this incident, Dahou finally thought it through.
After recovering her health, she no longer asked about the affairs of the court, but stayed at ease in Changxin Palace, living her own life.
At first she was a little uncomfortable, but gradually she got used to her current life. She no longer had to get up, and she went to bed earlier than the chickens and later than the dogs.
With enough sleep, she is in better spirits than ever before.
She was used to being busy and couldn't sit still, so she asked people to clean up the courtyard of Changxin Palace, and then asked the palace servants to find seeds, and began a life of working from sunrise to sunset.
When the emperor heard about it, he didn't say anything and let the empress dowager do whatever she wanted.
Now that the emperor has just consolidated his power, he has a lot to do.
After dealing with one King Kang, there are still countless King Kangs waiting for him.
In addition to the local foreign kings who were eyeing the Dongli Kingdom covetously, foreign tribes were also eyeing it covetously, which could be said to be internal and external troubles.
So he is very busy and has no time to pay attention to what the Queen Mother is doing?
Prince Kang's Mansion.
Not receiving a reply from the spies, King Kang sent two trusted men back to Chang'an in disguise.
It took the two confidants half a month to go back and forth.
After reading the news brought back by his confidant, King Kang sat in his study with mixed feelings.
After digesting the news, King Kang got up and went to Rongji's residence.
After hearing this, Rongji covered her face and laughed so hard that tears came out.
Seeing her like this, King Kang's eyes showed a hint of worry.
"Concubine, are you okay?"
Rongji took the handkerchief in her hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, returning to her usual unattainable look.
Only the slightly raised corners of her mouth showed her good mood.
"It's okay, what can happen to me?"
"I was just too happy. I never thought that Song Jia would be stabbed in the back by the son she raised..."
Rong Ji was extremely happy at this moment. She had been fighting with Song Jia all her life. Now that she saw Song Jia in trouble, all the frustration she had felt in the past few days was swept away.
It was said that Empress Dowager Song was noble and returned power to the emperor.
Rong Ji scoffed at this.
If Song Jia was really so righteous, she would have returned the power to the emperor as soon as he came of age. There would be no need to wait until today.
Those rumors outside can only deceive those ignorant people.
She didn't believe a word of it.
Song Jia spent the whole day hunting geese, and was eventually pecked in the eye by a goose.
Although Song Jia is still the empress dowager, it is just an empty title.
After laughing enough, Rong Ji finally spoke.
"Rui'er, from today on you don't have to be so cautious. Just do what you need to do."
"Mother concubine!"
Rong Ji raised her hand to stop him from saying the next thing.
"Don't worry, the emperor has just taken back his power and has no time to deal with us for the time being."
I have to say that Rongji is very smart after calming down.
The emperor really doesn't have time to deal with them.
Now the emperor is busy preparing for the expedition.
General Song Yan was shocked when he received the news from Chang'an.
He didn't expect that such a big thing would happen in Chang'an just after he left there for a few days.
Like Rong Ji, Song Yan also did not believe that the empress dowager would take the initiative to return power to the emperor.
Although other people don’t understand the Queen Mother, this nephew knows her quite well.
The Queen Mother is not someone who would take the initiative to return power to the Emperor.
The Empress Dowager's control over the Emperor has reached a perverted level.
Song Yan learned a lot of unknown news from his father.
In order to prevent the emperor from following the previous emperor's footsteps, the empress dowager would secretly take action and kill the woman as soon as the emperor showed a little difference in his attitude towards a woman.
Sometimes Song Yan would suspect that the current emperor was not the empress dowager's biological son, otherwise she would not treat the emperor like this.
He also knew that a few years ago, the emperor fell in love with a beautiful woman, who became pregnant. Not long after, she was found drowned in a pond in the imperial garden.
After the emperor found out, he was ill for half a month.
Because of the Queen Mother's abnormal desire for control, the Emperor now has only a few princes.
Now that the Queen Mother has been sidelined, Prince Kang's fiefdom has become wary.
He no longer needed to stay in Prince Kang's Mansion.
But before leaving, he still went to find Furong.
Furong knew that he was going back to Chang'an, and she felt reluctant to let him go.
"Ayan!"
Song Yan held her in his arms and promised.
"Arong, we will meet again soon."
Although Furong knew in her heart that this was impossible, she couldn't help but feel excited when she heard her lover say this.
"Well, when we meet again, I will marry you..."
Song Yan smiled.
"Okay, when we meet again, we'll get married."
The two talked for a long time before reluctantly saying goodbye.
As soon as Song Yan returned to Chang'an, the imperial edict arrived at the Song Mansion, and the emperor ordered his father to go to war.
As soon as he heard this, he knew this was his opportunity, so he mentioned it to his father.
When Song's father heard that his son wanted to go with him, he agreed without any hesitation.
The war lasted for three years.
After returning to Chang'an in triumph, the emperor asked Song Yan what reward he wanted. Song Yan knelt down and boldly asked the emperor for an imperial decree granting him marriage.
The imperial edict was for Furong. One year after Song Yan left, Furong received a letter from Song Yan, asking her to fake her death and escape.
Furong trusted Song Yan very much. After she faked her death and left Prince Kang's Mansion, Song Yan had someone give her a new identity.
The reason why Song Yan changed Furong's identity was for today.
Now the two of them can finally be together legitimately.
Although the emperor knew Furong's identity, he still wrote an imperial decree to grant the marriage when Song Yan proposed it.
Compared to giving him a high position and generous salary, the emperor felt that an insignificant imperial decree granting him marriage was much simpler.
After all, the emperor had finally gained power, and he didn't want the Song family to do anything else.
Song's father also knew that the emperor was wary of their Song family, so after returning to Chang'an from the expedition, he handed the military command to the emperor shortly afterwards.
Feeling free and at ease, he closed the gate and started living his own life.
The emperor was very pleased with his understanding and happily conferred the title of marquis on him to show his great favor.
.........
These are all things for later.
