The emperor did not speak.

Queen Tao raised her eyebrows and smiled, "If Your Majesty is reluctant to move Xiao Yi, I have nothing to say."

Her smile is beautiful, but her eyes are cold.

She didn't forget that Xiao Yi killed her second brother.

Xiao Yi will not be able to eliminate the hatred in her heart if he is not dead.

In fact, before last night, she never expected that her second brother would always have an invisible hand in the situation.

These invisible hands are the emperor.

Her brother died unjustly!

Xiao Yi was killed as a confession!

And the emperor actually acquiesced to this behavior.

Xiao Yigou is so brave!

It’s not good to kill anyone, but I insist on killing the Tao family. Is it really easy to bully the Tao family?

If the emperor hadn't protected Xiao Yi and Queen Tao snorted coldly, the boy would have died a hundred times long ago.

The emperor looked at Empress Tao, "The Empress is dissatisfied with me?"

"How dare I be dissatisfied?"

This is dissatisfaction in itself.

The emperor laughed, and he gently stroked Queen Tao's cheek, "No one can believe that the queen is actually the mother of three children. How did the queen maintain such a young face? I look old in front of you."

Empress Tao pursed her lips and smiled, "The emperor was in full bloom in spring and autumn..."

"You know that's not what I want to hear." The emperor interrupted Empress Tao.

Queen Tao lowered her eyes and bit her lip, "Your Majesty wants the Tao family to let Xiao Yi go, why? It's natural to kill someone and pay for his life!"

The emperor sneered, as if he was mocking, "Just based on my golden words and jade words, if the Tao family was tactful, they should not continue to make things difficult for Xiao Yi."

Queen Tao smiled and was angry, "Xiao Yi let King Dongping go, and Your Majesty will not pursue it?"

The emperor gently wiped Queen Tao's cheek with his thumb, "With such a beautiful face, you shouldn't have such a fierce expression. Just let it go, just a Dongping King cannot control the situation."

Queen Tao raised her eyebrows and said in a sour tone: "Your Majesty is really extraordinary to Xiao Yi. If Sanlang had let the person whom His Majesty go and was going to be executed privately, he would probably have been furious and beat Sanlang up."

The emperor laughed, "Sanlang is my son. I have high hopes for him, so I will naturally have to strictly demand him. Xiao Yi is just a foreign minister. I want to use him. You and the Tao family will tolerate him for the time being. When one day, I will no longer use him. If you want to kill and cut him, it will be your wish."

"Take it seriously?" Queen Tao was half-believing and half-doubted, she was afraid that she would be fooled by the emperor.

The emperor made a sound, "I speak in a golden voice, don't the queen believe me?"

"I naturally believe in Your Majesty. I just remembered my poor second brother who died in the hands of Xiao Yi in vain. Why didn't Your Majesty stop Xiao Yi? There are so many ministers in the court, who wouldn't kill anyone?"

Queen Tao wiped her tears and was very sad.

But the emperor said: "It was not my idea to kill the two uncles, but Xiao Yi made a good decision."

Empress Tao naturally disbelief when she heard this.

However, she still gritted her teeth and said, "Xiao Yi, one day, I will ask him to pay his life."

The emperor promised, "There will be a day, the queen, don't worry."

He hugged Queen Tao, so gentle that he could drown people in it.

After resting in Weiyang Palace for an hour, the emperor stood up and left, and returned to Xingqing Palace to handle government affairs.

After seeing off the emperor, Empress Tao's face suddenly sank, like a ghost.

She picked up the teacup used by the emperor and smashed it hard...

Bang!

The tea cup was shattered and the pieces were splashed.

Young Master Mei quickly advised him, "Stop the queen's anger and be careful to spread it to His Majesty."

"Who dares to go out and say a word? This palace kills her nine clans."

Queen Tao's eyes swept away, and all the palace servants in the hall were silent and fought.

Young Master Mei waved his hand, and the palace servants were as if they were granted a general amnesty and hurriedly left the hall.

Queen Tao couldn't hide her anger and kicked over the stool.

She said angrily: "You heard it just now. Before Xiao Yi killed his second brother, His Majesty knew everything, but he watched Xiao Yi commit murder. Afterwards, he protected Xiao Yi again.

Poor second brother died for half a year and died in a mess. The murderer not only got away with the law, but now he has become his hawk and dog. With this amulet, even this palace cannot move Xiao Yi without any action."

Queen Tao was sad about her brother's death and her eyes were covered with bloodshot.

"I didn't dare to guess at him before, but I only thought that Xiao Yi was crazy. Last night, my elder brother sent a message to me, saying that he had seen Xiao Yi and Xiao Yi led the southern army to maintain the security of the capital. I was still half-believing and half-doubted, thinking that my elder brother was confused. Xiao Yi was clearly imprisoned in the imperial prison, how could he come out and lead the troops."

"However, all of this is my own deceiving others, and it is his plan. The second brother died unjustly. He was plotted against his life by the king and his minister just for a letter of fame. He was so cruel and dared to say he didn't know about it in advance. It was all Xiao Yi's proposition. Humph, without his nodding agreement, how dare Xiao Yi kill the Tao family? Maybe he ordered Xiao Yi to kill someone."

"How can he do this? It is said that a couple has a hundred days of kindness in one day. How can he treat me like this with him for twenty years? The Tao family has always been honest and respected, and has never had any unjust intentions. Why did he let Xiao Yi kill someone? Isn't he afraid of forcing the Tao family to rebel?"

When Mei Shaojian heard the word "compulsive rebellion", he was frightened and his face turned pale.

He hurriedly persuaded, "Empress, be careful, don't talk nonsense!"

Queen Tao gritted her teeth, "Brother has the third battalion of Northern Army in her hand, if so..."

"Miss no!"

Mei Shaojian knelt down to Empress Tao, "My grandmaster think twice! The Northern Army is loyal to Your Majesty. The soldiers of the Northern Army acted on the emperor's order last night, so they dared to kill the princes. If the soldiers of the Northern Army were allowed to enter the palace, the old slave dared to say that the Northern Army would immediately turn against each other and deal with the Tao family. The loyalty of the Northern Army soldiers is never doubtful. Doesn't the Empress understand?"

"Those lieutenants are all Tao family members. At the critical moment, I ordered them..."

"My queen can't!" Mei Shaojian interrupted Empress Tao excitedly, for fear that she would say something that was deadly, "The lieutenant is the lieutenant, and the soldiers are the soldiers. Once several lieutenants reveal any words and deeds that are unfavorable to His Majesty, those Northern Army batons will definitely dare to use a knife to kill the lieutenant and then enter the Tao family. The lieutenant must not take any risks."

"This is not possible, that is not possible. What do you want me to do? Do you let me hold back this breath? I will tell you that I can't stand it."

Queen Tao was furious.

Mei Shaojian said with great thoughts, "The Northern Army is loyal to the emperor, whoever is the emperor is loyal to whom? The Empress may wish to take this opportunity to ask His Majesty to enthrone the Third Highness as the crown prince. In the next day, when it is an extraordinary moment, the Third Highness shall order the crown prince, and the Northern Army must obey."

Queen Tao frowned.

Mei Shaojian continued to persuade, "The Empress should not turn against His Majesty. We should seize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fulfill the title of crown princes for the third emperor. This time, the Tao family was operating the whole process of killing the princes. With so many princes and kings dead, the world will definitely be in chaos for a while. The only person that Your Majesty can rely on is the Tao family. Will the Empress really miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"

Queen Tao frowned and thought deeply, "Your Majesty will not make a crown prince easily!"

"However, because of the incident last night, the royal family was very dissatisfied, and the military generals were in panic, and the civil officials were afraid that the world would not be in chaos. At this time, who else could His Majesty rely on besides the Tao family?"

"Don't forget, there are also the Southern Army."

"The combat power of the Southern Army has never been as good as that of the Northern Army. You can rest assured to the Queen."

Queen Tao shook her head, "I can't rest assured. I understand him. Since he dared to be honest with me about Xiao Yi's killing of his second brother in front of me, it proved that he was not afraid of our Tao family's rebellion, and he was prepared for it.

The so-called relying on the Tao family is just a one-sided statement. I dare not take it seriously. Don’t underestimate the Chinese ministers of the court. They all come from aristocratic families. As long as they are willing, they can pull up a group of people and kill the Tao family at any time."

"What does Empress mean?"

Empress Tao smiled sarcastically, "Your Majesty is not a mediocre person, but is extremely smart. He is honest with me and expected my reaction. You are right, I cannot be confused, but I cannot tolerate it. Your Majesty only said that I cannot kill Xiao Yi, but I did not say that I could not do anything else. In addition, you send a message to my elder brother for me and immediately hand over the military power and no longer command the Northern Army."

"Why is this asking the master to give up his military power?"

"In case your majesty dies and dogs cook! The power of handing over military means that the Tao family is loyal to Your Majesty and has no other intentions. Your Majesty is cruel, but he is also nostalgic. The Tao family has served him for so many years, and now he has not only dealt with the princes and kings for him, but also handed over military power. What reason does Your Majesty have to turn against others? Go, just do what our palace said."

Young Master Mei received the order.

He felt a little guilty. Is it really appropriate to hand over military power?

I'm afraid Master Tao wouldn't agree if he finally got half of the Northern Army's troops and gave up like this.

What if the emperor takes advantage of the empress and does the opposite, what should he do is to give up the military power?

Mei Shaojian was unstable. Looking at the direction of Xingqing Palace, he felt a little fear in his heart.

Xingqing Palace is like a monster that chooses people and atees, and it will open its bloody mouth at any time.

"Eunuch Mei!"

A shout woke up Young Master Mei.

He looked back and found that it was the third prince Xiao Chengyi.

"Please to the Third Highness!"

"You are kind to you, Eunuch Mei! Are you okay with your mother? Such a big thing happened last night, did you disturb your mother?"

Young Master Mei stared at the third prince Xiao Chengyi, "The third prince did not go to the Tao family, didn't talk to Lord Tao?"

"I can't find time to go to the Tao family for the time being."

Young Master Mei immediately said, "If the third prince doesn't dislike it, you might as well go with our family to the Tao family."

The third prince was stunned for a moment, and then followed the righteous, "Okay! Eunuch Mei, please!"
