The villain empress's personal favorite

"Whoever dares to hurt the children of my Ji family in the slightest, they must pay the corresponding price!" A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he had obviously made up his mind to seek justice for Ji Shilin.

Even if you know that behind this matter, there may be someone who is doing the game, and the Ji family has to enter the game.

As the great families of the Great Qian Dynasty, it is naturally impossible for them to fight and kill at every turn like in the chaotic era.

This kind of fighting can only be fought in secret.

Therefore, the two families began to attack each other in the court, constantly exposing each other's scandals and bad deeds.

Today you join me and tomorrow I will impeach you once, today the young eunuch of the Shen family was transferred to a desolate state and county, and tomorrow the lieutenant of the Ji family was dismissed for corruption.

In short, the two families were inextricably linked, and even many officials who were attached to them were involved in this dispute.

Most of the other officials chose to watch from the sidelines, quietly watching the farce, and hanging on their own business.

Even the empress was intrigued by this, and watched the battle between the two families with great interest.

As long as it doesn't affect the normal operation of the imperial court, she doesn't bother to care about these small fights.

If the two families dare to cross the line, someone will naturally clean them up.

And Li Dequan in the prison can be sinned.

He was constantly interrogated by various departments, sometimes even several times a day.

But gradually, the Shen family couldn't hold it anymore.

It's not because the overall strength of the Shen family is not as good as the Ji family, or the power in the court is not comparable to the other party.

It's because Li Dequan is not a member of the Shen family after all.

However, many of the children of the Shen family were implicated or demoted or exiled because of Li Dequan's affairs.

This made the Shen family also complain about Li Dequan.

Li Dequan's daughter Li Zishuang is running around these days to rescue her father.

However, the uncles and uncles who used to be enthusiastic about her are now avoiding her one by one.

The better ones will politely refuse her, while the bad-tempered ones will simply close the door and not let her in.

This made Li Zishuang deeply appreciate the hot and cold state of the world.

Before the person left, the tea was already cold.

After running into walls everywhere, Li Zishuang's heart couldn't help but feel the figure of Chen Ming.

Although in his memory, he always holds a long whip in his hand, and his ruthless appearance makes people shudder.

But now Li Zishuang inexplicably feels that if it were him, there might be a way to rescue his father.

......

At this moment, Chen Ming once again stepped into the forbidden place of the palace.

Due to his prominent status as the Eight Guards of the Xuanniao, there is no need to inform the empress in advance when he enters the palace.

Before he knew it, his footsteps led him to the depths of the harem.

Although conventionally speaking, men are strictly forbidden to set foot in the harem, Chen Ming is an exception.

However, at this time, the harem, except for a few palace maids, was almost empty.

The first emperor was devoted to the Tao, and he was not keen on accepting concubines, and the only few concubines also left the palace with their respective princes.

Under the reign of today's empress, the harem is more tranquil, and there are many less intrigues in the past.

In this deep palace, the only noble existence is the Queen Mother, who is not only the biological mother of Empress Chen Keyan, but also Chen Keyan's only closest relative in this world.

This also added a lot of chips to Chen Keyan's fight for the throne, after all, she has an absolute advantage in bloodline.

"I haven't seen the Queen Mother for a long time, and I miss it very much. "

After making up his mind, Chen Ming walked straight towards Cining Palace.

In Cining Palace, a graceful beautiful woman is splashing ink.

Her ink paintings are far-reaching, and each stroke seems to contain infinite meaning.

The Queen Mother herself is a pure yang power with profound cultivation, and the paintings she paints are naturally extraordinary.

There is a transcendent aura between her eyebrows, and her jade skin is like a fairy walking out of a painting.

If it weren't for the fact that her plump figure revealed a hint of maturity, I am afraid no one would have imagined that she was already a mother.

At this time, a palace maid hurriedly walked in.

"Didn't I say you shouldn't disturb while painting?" the Queen Mother frowned slightly in displeasure.

"Back to the Queen Mother, it is the visit of Marquis Chen. The palace maid replied respectfully.

"Oh, it's Ming'er here. The Queen Mother's eyebrows and eyes suddenly showed joy, and the displeasure disappeared in an instant.

She put down the ink pen in her hand and eagerly waited for Chen Ming's arrival.

Under the guidance of the palace maid, Chen Ming walked into Cining Palace.

As soon as the queen mother saw him, she took his hand and sat down kindly, and the palace ladies also retreated with interest.

"Chen Ming has seen the Queen Mother. Chen Ming saluted respectfully.

"You kid, you're still so close to me. The Queen Mother said with disgust, her eyes full of doting light, "Have you forgotten what you should call me?"

Chen Ming's heart warmed, and he shouted softly: "Queen Mother." "

What few people know is that Chen Ming is actually the righteous son of the Empress Dowager Gong Yueru.

Strictly speaking, he should call Chen Keyan his sister.

However, he has no blood relationship with the former emperor, and when he became the righteous son of Gong Yueru, the former emperor had already died for many years.

Chen Keyan has been smart and sensible since she was a child, and rarely let the Queen Mother worry about it.

And Chen Ming was often bullied by Chen Keyan to tears, so he often complained to the Queen Mother Gongyueru.

Gong Yueru only has a daughter like Chen Keyan, and her daughter is too sensible, so she rarely has the opportunity to experience the joy of being a mother.

At that time, Chen Ming lost his memory, his parents died, and it was the time when he needed love.

In addition, he was cute and likable when he was a child, which made Gong Yueru regard him as her own, and even loved Chen Keyan even more.

Chen Ming also regarded Gong Yueru as his mother.

Over time, everything fell into place.

Chen Ming became the righteous son of Gong Yueru, coupled with the trust of the empress and the title of marquis, making his status in the entire imperial capital particularly noble.

Such an identity is almost impossible to provoke in Daqian.

However, in the original novel, in order to stimulate the conflict between the protagonist Ye Xuan and Da Qian, Chen Ming, who has a noble identity but weak strength, becomes a suitable victim.

"Ming'er, I heard that someone dared to attack you a few days ago, let the queen mother see if you are injured. Do you need the queen mother to send you some more guards?"

Gong Yueru stroked Chen Ming's cheek and asked with concern.

When she learned the news of Chen Ming's attack, her heart was filled with anger and worry. If it weren't for the empress who sent Tu Shengnan to protect Chen Ming first, she would have taken action in person.

Even the forces under her command have begun to secretly investigate Ye Xuan's details.

For the person who dared to hurt her own son, her heart was filled with deep hatred.

"Thank you for your concern, but I don't need it for the time being. "

Chen Ming thought about it, but politely refused.

"You kid, you're always out of sight. "

The Queen Mother patted his hand lovingly, "But it's okay, although you are a marquis, there is indeed a lack of competent people around you." In this case, I will give you the flowers of the other side. "

The Queen Mother handed over a token engraved with a strange pattern, then stared at Chen Ming and said, "You are not allowed to refuse again this time." "

The Flower of the Other Side is a top-level assassin organization in Daqian, integrating assassination, intelligence gathering, and even business activities, and secretly controls many other forces.

I'm afraid no one would have thought that the person behind this mysterious organization would be the queen mother of the current dynasty.

A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Ming's eyes, and he hurriedly took the token and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother." "
