On their wedding night, she burned down the Prince Regent's palace.

Chapter 345: Exchange for power

Facing Feng Wuming's puzzled gaze, she said, "Be careful in everything."

Feng Wuming smiled.

His face rarely had such a lively expression, and most of the time there was always a hint of playfulness in the world, where everyone was toyed with.

This kind of Feng Wuming is more humane than him who is so powerful that everyone is afraid of him.

Feng Wuming sighed lightly and replied, "Okay."

It's just a simple word, but it connects the two people's emotions.

Ye Zhiyu stood in the courtyard and watched Feng Wuming go away.

I just hope this pass goes smoothly.

……

When Feng Wuming rushed to Feng Yanzhi's palace, the imperial doctor came in and out, and his face was even more wrinkled than withered tree bark.

The palace maid and eunuch were carrying basins of blood, their faces anxious and their steps fast.

Feng Wuming knew that the situation was critical and did not want to delay for a moment, so he walked into the palace.

I happened to hear the Queen Mother's furious voice.

"Publish the Ai family's decree and kill Wang Xiao'e immediately!"

When the Queen Mother heard the accompanying eunuch mention that Feng Yanzhi's situation was quite optimistic, she was really thinking about how to use this incident to bring down Feng Wuming.

But when she actually arrived at the palace and saw the lifeless Emperor's eyes closed on the bed, the Queen Mother couldn't care less about her plans, and she didn't worry about her great cause.

He just wanted to kill Ye Zhiyu to vent his anger!

"Wait!"

Following a sonorous and powerful shout, Feng Wuming stepped in.

The moment she saw Feng Wuming, the anger bursting out of the Queen Mother's eyes seemed to burn her out.

"Feng Wuming, do you want to rebel?"

After saying that, without waiting for Feng Wuming's answer, he scolded: "Hurry up and capture this traitor and traitor for the Ai family!"

The guards around me looked at me and I looked at you and lowered their heads.

No one took the lead.

That was none other than the regent, a being who was like the talisman of the imperial court!

Regardless of his prestige, let's just talk about Feng Wuming's unfathomable martial arts.

What's the difference between having such a small number of people and sending them to death?
Seeing that the people around her were motionless, the Queen Mother's chest rose and fell more violently.

"What? Don't you even listen to what the Ai family says? You all want to rebel, right?"

"If we don't take action, we will identify Feng Wuming as an accomplice and implicate the nine clans!"

The Queen Mother's voice was a bit sharp because of her anger, which stung people's eardrums.

This statement really intimidated everyone.Even the ants shaking the tree don't want to involve their family members.

Therefore, the guards around him drew their swords towards Feng Wuming one after another, with the aura of looking forward to death.

Feng Wuming just glanced at everyone and had no intention of taking action.

He said: "I do not want to rebel, nor do I want to cause trouble. However, the Queen Mother should not kill innocent people indiscriminately without investigation by Dali Temple."

"Indiscriminate killing of innocent people?" The Queen Mother couldn't help but raise her voice.

"A hundred pairs of eyes saw Wang Xiao'e committing murder on the spot. In your eyes, this is an indiscriminate killing of innocent people? Ai Jia, let me ask, do you still have the emperor's safety or dignity in your eyes?"

There was deathly silence all around, and the people around him didn't even dare to breathe for fear of harming the fish in the pond.

After the Queen Mother vented her emotions, she also realized that she might have gone too far, and was worried that Feng Wuming would really take this opportunity to rebel.

But once the words have been spoken, they cannot be taken back.

We can only remain in a stalemate like this.

Therefore, everyone's eyes fell on this prestigious regent.

Just when everyone thought that he might use some thunderous means to silence everyone, Feng Wuming made a move that shocked everyone present.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he only saluted the Queen Mother, but he still said neither humble nor overbearing: "I am willing to hand over all the powers of the Regent from today, and find the real culprit of Your Majesty within three days." "I only ask the Queen Mother. Madam, don’t kill innocent people indiscriminately and let Wang Xiao’e go.”

Even the Queen Mother was a little startled.

In all these years, Feng Wuming has never been as humble as he is today.

He even offered to hand over all powers to the regent.

However, the Queen Mother is now furious.

It is impossible to let Ye Zhiyu go no matter what.

In matters of state, she is the Queen Mother.

When it comes to family matters, she is the mother.

No matter which angle you look at it, it is impossible to just let the perpetrators go unpunished.

After thinking for a moment, the Queen Mother came up with a compromise.

"Then you will detain the person in the palace until you find the so-called real culprit."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother did not believe in the existence of a so-called real culprit.

After all, people only believe what they see with their eyes.

Feng Wuming refused to give in on this matter.

"No."

Feng Wuming refused cleanly, leaving no room for bargaining.

"Wang Xiao'e must not stay in the palace."

Feng Wuming's eyes, which seemed to be able to capture people's hearts and read people's hearts, looked straight at the Queen Mother, "If I stay in the palace, I'm afraid I will lose my life before the culprit is found."

"The Queen Mother, you will gain something if you give up. Don't be too greedy."

The queen mother choked when she heard this.

She naturally knew what Feng Wuming was talking about.

In her opinion, this is just a transaction.

A deal in which Feng Wuming used his power in exchange for Ye Zhiyu's safety.

If she really agreed to this deal, she should let Ye Zhiyu go.

But the Queen Mother insisted on keeping people in the palace.

The palace is the royal territory, not to mention that Feng Wuming is about to step down from all his positions.

Even if he is still the aloof regent, he must understand that it is beyond the reach of a whip.

You can't have both fish and bear's paw.

The Queen Mother could only choose between detaining Ye Zhiyu and releasing her power.

For a long time, for a long time.

The Queen Mother then spoke, but her voice was very aged, as if she had aged ten years.

"Okay, just as you said."

Feng Wuming breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, but at the same time he couldn't help but feel a little funny.

In the final analysis, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, power defeated everything.

Even Feng Wuming looked at the Queen Mother with a bit of sarcasm.

The Queen Mother knew that she was wrong and did not distinguish between them. She only said with a threat: "Feng Wuming, the choice you made today is a risk. Wang Xiao'e is the first suspect. If you abscond in fear of crime, then the Aijia will ask you to pay for it with your life." .”

Feng Wuming looked indifferent.

"If Wang Xiao'e is really the culprit who deliberately murders His Majesty, then it is up to you to kill or behead her. Even my life is in the hands of the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother heard this, and recently Feng Wuming spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Don't worry, the Ai family will find evidence sooner or later, and you and Wang Xiao'e won't be free for too long. You can't even think of finding a scapegoat to kill this person. Let’s get this thing out of the way!”

Feng Wuming looked at the Queen Mother. This woman who usually cared about her face the most also had many fine lines in the corners of her eyes.
