Chapter 131 How long will we be bullied by you?

"Commander Wei, please stay—"

As soon as Wei Mingqi came out of the East Court, the female official Yudie, who had been waiting on the side of the road, trotted over and bowed her head respectfully, saying:
"The Holy Queen sent me to ask the commander to come over."

"..."

As expected of someone who was taught by him personally, Wan Renshan has a firm grasp of the mind of this woman from the Zhao family.

"it is good."

Wei Mingqi concealed his inner strangeness, nodded, and followed Yudie to the deep palace. On the way, he asked about Wu Tongtong's recent situation out of boredom:

"Your Majesty, are you in good health these days?"

"..."

As long as you don't meet him, Your Majesty can be as good as you want under normal circumstances.

After reviewing the matter, Yudie forced out a standard smile of a court lady and said, "The Holy Queen has taken care of him for a few days. He is much better than before. He even wears thinner clothes since the beginning of spring."

It seems that his Dragon Yuan is really suitable for children.

If he quarrels with her again in the future, Wei Mingqi can just say that he supported her alone.

Seeing the young man's inexplicable smile, looking like he was in a good mood, Yudie remembered the instructions of the Holy Empress and couldn't help but muster up the courage to say:

"Commander Wei, the Holy Queen sent me here to tell me that she has specially asked the old Jiedushi Zhao to come to the palace today to help you two resolve the conflict."

"..."

Hearing this, Wei Mingqi suddenly felt something strange in his heart.

The women of the Zhao family may not be particularly smart, but their deep love for the country is unquestionable.

He was able to temporarily put aside his family feud and work for his father and his enemy. This kind of forbearance alone was enough to make people look at him with admiration.

He is cruel enough to his family and even himself, and I don't know how determined he is in secret.

Unfortunately, the world is in turmoil, and she, who started out as a newcomer, was promoted to the position of the Regent Queen. Her position was too high. Otherwise, if she was given enough time—

Not really.

In the game line, Wu Tongtong returned to power when she was sixteen years old. She has very few roles in the entire game, and it is a bit sad that she can be so decisive when it comes to power.

This woman really takes good care of Wu Tongtong.

It's a pity that she has to be hurt again today.

Wanrenshan’s crimes are extremely heinous.

At this moment, inside the palace, an old man and a young man from the Zhao family sat opposite each other. The woman in black palace clothes calmly brewed tea herself, while the old man opposite in ordinary brocade clothes trembled his beard and said respectfully:

"Yesterday, Gan and Xiao rushed to the capital without receiving military orders. This morning, I summoned the officers of the two regiments to the tent and gave them a lenient and severe treatment, which has dispelled their complaints. As for the rumors in the army, I have also sent people to suppress them. I will never let such a trend spread to the entire army. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

The old man's voice was neither hurried nor slow, revealing a sense of maturity and relaxation, which made those who heard it feel at peace and no longer anxious.

"Those soldiers mistakenly thought that something was wrong in the capital, so they rushed here overnight. In the final analysis, their intentions were good, so we shouldn't blame them too much..."

The Zhao family woman pushed the tea over and whispered:

"Why not transfer some money and food from the palace and distribute some to the whole army as rewards? This way, we can get benefits, which is worse than trying to stop people from talking."

"Thank you, Holy Queen."

Zhao Yanjun took the tea respectfully first, and then answered her:

"Today, warriors are all arrogant. Your Majesty's endless favors will only encourage their arrogance. If you are rewarded today and don't complain, what will you do if you are not rewarded tomorrow?"

As he spoke, he looked directly into his daughter's eyes and said, "Besides, there is only a slight disturbance in the capital. You can send light cavalry to investigate the situation first, instead of bringing troops to the capital without authorization. If this action is not punished, what should we do if there are rebellious troops who follow suit in the future?"

"..."

Hearing this, hesitation appeared in those charming fox eyes.

Although I feel that this is a bit disheartening for the soldiers, isn't what my father said wrong?
If someone imitates this move in the future, creates an disturbance and then sends troops to attack the capital, if they act quickly, the officers and soldiers guarding the city gates will be completely useless and it is questionable whether they can last even a stick of incense.

At any time, the stability of the imperial center is the most important. For this reason, all dynasties would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go. What my father said is indeed a mature and prudent statement.

"Then it's up to you."

The woman said softly, "The Beijing Camp is related to the safety of the country. You have to pay more attention to everything."

Zhao Yanjun nodded and said, "Don't worry, Holy Queen, as long as the Wuwei Camp is there, nothing will go wrong with the Beijing Camp."

After finishing the conversation, the woman looked at her humble father with a bit of sadness in her eyes. She felt that she had become increasingly distant from her family since she entered the palace. Now that she had ascended to the throne, her family had not gained much benefit, but instead suffered many grievances.

"Dad, there's no one around here, so we can talk more easily as father and daughter."

She held the kettle and pressed down Zhao Yanjun's hand as he was about to raise the cup, and said in a guilty voice:
"Since my mother passed away, you have been working hard in the palace and you still have no time to rest at your old age. I feel guilty about this."

"..."

Zhao Yanjun's eyes flickered, and his expression softened as he said:
"We are family, let's not talk about that. When Tongtong grows up, you and I will have some free time. After all, who doesn't work hard for their children?"

Hearing him say this, the woman felt even more guilty, especially when she remembered the other purpose of asking her father to come over today. She felt her heart tremble a little and she didn't even dare to look up at her father's eyes.

"……father"

The woman said with a trembling voice: "My daughter even called that man over today. He will be here soon. You don't blame my daughter, do you?"

"..."

Although that person was mentioned by name, Zhao Yanjun immediately thought of someone when he saw his daughter's unprecedented attitude.

Wei Mingqi.

A murderous intent rose up in his heart, but was instantly concealed by his deep scheming. Zhao Yanjun lowered his eyelids to hide the indifference in them, and said tolerantly:
"Is there any parent in this world who would blame their own children?"

"..."

"Do you really think I was just pretending to be nice at the court? It's better to resolve a feud than to create one. It's just right that you called him here today. I also want to talk to him."

Zhao Yanjun remained calm, but the more so, the more guilty the woman felt.

Chengsi is the eldest grandson of the eldest branch of the Zhao family. He has been trained as the successor by his father and brothers since he was young. Now, he is suddenly passing away his son. How can his father and brothers not be heartbroken?
She was just holding back her tears for her, Tongtong and the country. She didn't know how many tears she had shed at night, not to mention her father and brother.

The woman, who felt more and more that she had raised herself as the daughter of the Zhao family in vain, had reddened in her eyes and was speechless for a moment.

"Speaking."

Her father called her by her nickname again: "Don't blame yourself. Your father and your brothers know that you have it harder than anyone else. Everyone suffers more."

"father……"

Finally, she shed tears in front of everyone. The woman wiped her eyes with her hand:
"I will definitely give you and your brothers an explanation in the future."

He said it seriously, but Zhao Yanjun sneered in his heart.

Since ancient times, many families have become noble because of their in-laws, but there has never been a woman who was confused after entering the palace and did not know where her support was.

Only the two daughters of his Zhao family were treated like meat buns thrown at dogs after entering the palace, and they had no idea the origin of the blood flowing in their bodies.

Daughter? All the daughters of his Zhao family died long ago!
"Let's talk about the future later. Compared with personal feelings, your father and I are more interested in watching the country's renewal."

After saying the pun, Zhao Yanjun quickly asked another question:

"Tongtong is the emperor, and her health is the most important thing. As her aunt, you have to take good care of her. Now that spring has begun, is her health better?" "..."

The woman from the Zhao family looked a little more cheerful when this was mentioned. Ever since the thief gave her the Dragon Essence, she would secretly add a drop of it into Wu Tongtong's food every day.

You know what, the effect is immediate.

It hasn't been long since then, but her face has become rosier day by day. If she couldn't do anything about that thief, she would have wanted to stuff him into the pot and stew him for Tongtong to eat.

In the past, the women of the Zhao family kept the little emperor's physical condition strictly confidential, and even his own father and brothers could not ask her anything.

But today, his heart is a little more open, and the little emperor is in good health, so speaking out can cheer people up, so -

"Lord Zhao has stabbed your majesty's health for no reason. If it were anyone else in the palace, they would have been dragged out and beaten to death according to the rules."

The Zhao family woman who was about to speak glanced outside the door, only to see a young man coming in with a pale-faced female official with her hands behind her back, her face full of a disgusting and domineering look.

"this--"

Zhao Yanjun adjusted himself quickly and stood up to salute: "I was careless with my words. Thanks to Commander Wei for his advice."

"Humph."

Wei Mingqi looked down at him, almost looking at him with his chin, and said, "You have been an official for decades, and I have to teach you this taboo."

Zhao Yanjun was humiliated like this, but he just lowered his head slightly, with an expression of swallowing his pride, and said in a submissive tone:
"Please forgive me, forgive me——"

"..."

Such a scene made the woman of the Zhao family stunned, but after she reacted, her charming face turned red.

As a child, how could she watch her father being humiliated in front of her? Not to mention that this thief had benefited from her before, but now he was like a vicious dog, wiping his mouth and not recognizing her, knocking her sincerity to the ground!
"Be bold!"

She stood up and said angrily, "Wei Mingqi, do you still have any manners?!"

"..."

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, the young man turned his eyes to her and said with an attitude that did not soften in the slightest:

"Rules? You, the master of a palace, still know the rules? You know the rules, but you still want to tell the outsiders about the emperor's condition? Don't you know how the emperor is doing? Do you have a brain!?"

This scolding caused the hall to fall silent in an instant, and even Zhao Yanjun's face twitched.

"you you……"

"What are you?"

Wei Mingqi looked at the stiff-looking woman and said:

"Can you still be a prisoner in this country? If not, pack up and put it in the cold palace as soon as possible. Tomorrow I will ask the old man to send people to remove the curtain facing upwards!"

"..."

Traitor, traitor!
Even the old woman in the dark was so angry that her mouth twitched. She really wanted to tear out the boy's heart, liver, spleen, stomach and lungs with one claw to see if he was really black!
The only person in the field who felt ecstatic was probably Zhao Yanjun.

Although I knew that the palace would never be peaceful with this kid around, I never thought it would come to this. My grandson's death was really worth it!

If God wants to destroy someone, he will first make him rampant!
The world is already in turmoil, and yet this kid dares to cause chaos in the palace. It's really time for the bad times to come...

And there is the little emperor. This guy is in a hurry to come out to shut his daughter's mouth. I guess the situation is not optimistic. As soon as this news spreads, the whole world will be shocked!
Could it be——

Thinking of what the previous visitors said to my home, and thinking about it again now, my heart is burning even more.

"Commander Wei, calm down..."

Holding back his emotions, Zhao Yanjun blocked the evil thief for his daughter who was wide-eyed and distraught. He bent down humbly and said in a flattering voice:
"It's all my fault. I said something that was taboo. Commander Wei, please be magnanimous and don't bother with a woman like her."

"Humph."

Seeing his own tyranny at this point, the proud boy straightened his back even more, pointed at his beautiful daughter and said arrogantly:

"I'll deal with you later."

"..."

There was a lot of meaning in these words. Zhao Yanjun's heart skipped a beat. He wondered if he had underestimated the courage of this kid. Could it be that his daughter had been -

That would be great. It would encourage his arrogance and leave him with more evidence of his treason, so that he can be justified in the future.

"Commander Wei, please don't be angry. I will apologize to you and leave immediately. Please don't be angry, please don't be angry."

As he said this, the old turtle retreated in an extremely humble manner, bending over and smiling as he went, all the way to the door.

After others leave.

"Hiss—ha!"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yanjun was making room for the young man, and she was pointing at him and making trouble for him. The woman in the palace couldn't hold it anymore. Seeing the old father enduring humiliation for the sake of his "children" and "the country", she was almost like a lit firecracker. As soon as Zhao Yanjun left, she pounced on him with a resolute attitude.

"Kill me if you dare."

"You are a traitor to the country--"

The overlapping figures of the woman who was struggling and crying and a certain girl immediately made Wei Mingqi feel strange.

I have to say, he is indeed my aunt's nephew...

"Why are you crazy?"

Although this woman didn't know how to use fists and kicks, and her beatings didn't hurt, she was thrashing around in front of him like a big bluefish, and even he reacted to her thrashing. Wei Mingqi could only hold her down helplessly and said:

"You're listening to my excuses, no, you're listening to my explanation!"

"..."

The Zhao family woman ignored him, stood on tiptoe with red eyes and bit his shoulder fiercely. She bit him hard with all her strength, but Wei Mingqi just patted her shoulder helplessly and said:

"Relax."

"..."

"Relax."

"..."

"..."

After a while.

"Woo——"

Finally, the woman, whose cheek was bitten by the cowhide-like touch and felt painful, could not help but raise her face and cry. Her fox eyes were filled with tears. Her charm was gone, and only deep hatred and helplessness remained.

"Why can't you just let us go——"

She cried breathlessly:
"My dear nephew, my father, my brother, and Tongtong, how long will we be bullied by you..."

"..."

Wei Mingqi took a deep breath and was about to push her away to say something, but suddenly an angry voice came from outside the door:
"you!"

"Let go of my aunt!"
