Empress Dowager Gao, Zhao Xu, Zhao Hao, Meng Yuan and other groups turned back to the Cining Hall from Xuande Gate.

When Empress Dowager Gao, Zhao Xu and others arrived, they saw Lu Dafang and Han Zhongyan were already waiting.

After arriving along the way, Zhao Xu calmed down a little, and looked at the two of them with his eyes slightly moved.

"Empress."

Lu Dafang and Han Zhongyan came to greet him.

After Lu Dafang finished speaking, he stopped talking. Instead, Han Zhongyan hesitated and said to Zhao Xu: "I have met the official family."

Lu Dafang had no expression on his face, and Empress Dowager Gao didn't seem to notice anything abnormal. With the help of Zhao Xu and Zhou He, his face was still pale and he smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work in the two Qing families, everyone should sit down."

Everyone thanked her and waited for Empress Dowager Gao and Zhao Xu to sit down, and then they settled one by one.

Zhao Xu was going to be the next leader, but Empress Dowager Gao grabbed him and sat next to her.

Empress Dowager Gao held Zhao Xu's hand and said with great relief: "Ei family already knows it, and the Ai family is very happy."

Zhao Xu didn't know why Empress Dowager Gao was happy, so he rubbed the corners of his face and smiled bitterly: "Grandma, your illness almost scared me to death."

Empress Dowager Gao smiled, patted Zhao Xu's hand again, and said, "It's okay, I can't make a fuss. You send her out of the palace. This method is very good. I didn't expect it before."

The reason why Empress Dowager Gao attacked Concubine Wu Xian first was actually because she wanted to hold Empress Dowager Xiang and find another solution. She didn't expect that her body could not hold on, which almost caused a bloody battle in the palace tonight.

Zhao Xu said: "I have no other way, I think of it temporarily."

Empress Dowager Gao nodded slightly, not sure if she was thinking about something or because of illness, she looked a little tired.

The people below looked at the two grandparents and grandchildren, most of them looking at Zhao Xu.

Although Empress Dowager Gao woke up, the young official's series of methods tonight was really shocking.

First, he took advantage of Zhou He's control of the military power of the palace to stabilize the palace, and then placed a house arrest on the three prime ministers to prevent the court from acting rashly. He immediately decided to send the Empress Dowager out of the palace and become a monk. He even said a few words on the palace wall to force Zhao Hao and Meng Yuan to retreat. When Empress Dowager Gao woke up, these things were not something that ordinary people could do!

Empress Dowager Gao was silent for a while, her expression became more and more tired. She suddenly reached out to touch Zhao Xu and said with a smile: "Very good."

Speaking of this, Zhao Xu realized that his chest and back were wet, and he smiled reluctantly.

Empress Dowager Gao was really happy. She had already learned from Zhou He's mouth. After she fell into a coma, Zhao Xu had been taking care of her, feeding her medicine and wiping her. This change tonight was also thanks to Zhao Xu's resistance, otherwise he would not know what would happen.

After thinking for a while, Empress Dowager Gao looked down, and the first one was Zhao Hao, with an expressionless face.

Zhao Hao's face was pale, he knelt on the ground with a thud, and cried: "Mother, I, my son, knowing that you are seriously ill, I have no other intention to see you as soon as possible..."

Zhao Hao had thought about it back then. Empress Dowager Gao knew it very well, but she also knew that her son was a coward, so she turned to Meng Yuan again.

Meng Yuan stood up, raised his hand, and said no word.

Empress Dowager Gao had no expression. Yu Guang glanced at Lu Dafang, Han Zhongyan and others, and said lightly: "The Ai family knows what you are thinking about fighting, so you will take it away. From tomorrow, the King of Yan will be the vassal of Fengxiang. Meng Yuan will be transferred to Meizhou's defense envoy."

Zhao Hao suddenly collapsed on the ground, his face as white as white paper. This is not just a vassal, but an exile!

Meng Yuan raised his hand and bowed, saying, "I thank the Empress Dowager for the grace."

Meng Yuan's official position was half a rank, but he was transferred to the local area, with name but no reality. He was promoted openly and demoted secretly and transferred from the capital.

This is the punishment of Empress Dowager Gao to the two. Although Empress Dowager Gao did not say it clearly, everyone here could probably guess that Meng Yuan might have been passively involved, but Zhao Hao must have been involved with Empress Dowager Xiang.

Zhao Xu was also analyzing in his heart. He was afraid that this grandmother knew more, but she didn't ask much at this time.

Empress Dowager Gao had no intention of explanation, and her tone became a little cold, saying, "Let the soldiers outside the palace go back. Let's tell the commanders again, and then make up the explanation for the Ai family."

Meng Yuan was able to lead troops to block the palace gate for so long, and the attitude of the three commanders of the "Three Ya" behind him was worthy of consideration.

Meng Yuan raised his hand and said, "Yes." After saying that, he turned around and retreated.

Then the yellow goalkeeper Zhao Hao was dragged away, and Zhao Hao collapsed on the ground, shaped like a dead tree, speechless.

After taking care of the two, Empress Dowager Gao looked at Lu Dafang again, Han Zhongyan said, "Two husbands, what do you think of this, Ai family and the official family?"

Royal affairs are the affairs of the world. The palace has to deal with Empress Dowager Xiang and her followers. To settle the matter tonight, the outer court must be speechless.

Han Zhongyan wanted to speak, but he had to wait for Lu Dafang to speak first.

Lu Dafang took a slow slap for a while and said, "I have no objection."

Han Zhongyan was stunned and anxious. How could he have no objection? Not to mention that the government almost made the palace bleeding tonight, Su Che was still locked up in the sidelines, and the three officials will be tried tomorrow!

But Lu Dafang didn't say anything, and Han Zhongyan, the Privy Councilor, did not dare to stand up. He glanced at Empress Dowager Gao, glanced at Zhao Xu again, and raised his hand and said, "I have no objection."

Empress Dowager Gao looked at the two of them for a while and said, "Then let me send it out of the palace tomorrow morning, Zhou He, you are with the Imperial City Department."

What is the meaning here, including how Queen Mother Xiang is placed, or even life and death. Perhaps Zhou He has to think carefully about it, and he should be silent when he stepped forward.

When Empress Dowager Gao woke up, his confidence came back and returned to his usual calmness.

After dealing with these messy things, Empress Dowager Gao looked even more tired. She patted Zhao Xu's hand and said, "The official family is tired too. If you have anything to say, let's talk about tomorrow."

Seeing that Empress Dowager Gao could not hold on, Zhao Xu stood up and said, "Grandma is ready to raise her, so don't be tired."

Empress Dowager Gao smiled and nodded, watching Zhao Xu leave.

Zhao Xu glanced at Lu Dafang and Han Zhongyan, and left Cining Palace with a normal expression.

Lu Dafang remained indifferent and always looked like he was asleep. However, Han Zhongyan's expression was tight and he couldn't help but bow slightly.

When Zhao Xu left, Zhou He glanced at Lu Dafang and Han Zhongyan, stepped forward and whispered in Empress Dowager Gao's ear: "Empress, the people from the official family are purges the imperial guards of the palace."

Empress Dowager Gao frowned and said, "Where have you been?"

Zhou He looked at Lu Dafang and Han Zhongyan again and whispered: "The official family had ordered the blockade of the palace gates of each palace, and to mobilize troops to Xuande Gate. Now, it is probably almost done."

Empress Dowager Gao's expression changed slightly, and she quietly looked at the door.

The importance of the imperial guards in the palace is self-evident, but not to mention the filial piety that Zhao Xu had shown before, even Zhao Xu's decisive performance tonight, she could not forcefully seize the imperial guards' military power. It would be like a breakup with Zhao Xu or even declare war.

When Zhou He saw that Empress Dowager Gao did not speak, he stopped talking and slowly retreated.

When Han Zhongyan heard this, he was secretly shocked. He wanted to talk about Su Che, but how could he dare to mention it now?

Empress Dowager Gao was still sick and kept barely holding on. After dealing with these things, she couldn't hold on anymore, so she said, "If you have anything, let's talk about it tomorrow. The two Qing families are also tired. Zhou He and Ai's family will send them to the two Qing families."

Zhou He bowed and walked towards Lu Dafang and Han Zhongyan.

Lu Dafang was still as motionless as a mountain, and no one could guess what he was thinking. He raised his hand to leave and wanted to turn around.

Han Zhongyan was full of thoughts. He always felt that what happened tonight was not that simple, especially the performance of the official family made him worried.

Zhao Xu left Cining Hall and turned straight back to Funing Hall.

His whole body was soaked in cold sweat. There were too many things that happened tonight, so he had to sort it out.
