The situation at that time simply did not allow him to fulfill his promise to Concubine Lian.
The Empress Dowager has been wallowing in the palace for most of her life, so she certainly knows how helpless Emperor Ling Xiao is.
She also sighed softly: "What about now? Xi'er has helped you a lot by removing the power of the Nalan family, and Yang'er has returned to normal. What are your plans?"
"...Plan? Mother, although Yan Chen's character is a bit more stubborn and domineering, he has indeed helped me solve many problems over the years. Furthermore, at least half of the ministers in the DPRK currently support him.
Destroy him..."
Bang!
The sudden sound of breaking glass interrupted Emperor Ling Xiao's meditation.
He suddenly turned around and saw Feng Yichen standing at the screen with a pale face. In front of him, a palace maid was kneeling tremblingly, shouting that the slave should die.
Seeing Emperor Ling Xiao turn his head, he waved away the palace maid, and the corners of his stiff lips moved: "Father..."
"You're here? It's rare for you to have such filial piety. Come and pay your respects to your royal grandmother!"
Emperor Ling Xiao's expression did not change much. He nodded lightly to Feng Yichen, then turned to the Empress Dowager and said, "Eniang, I will come to see you the next morning!"
"...Hmm!" The Empress Dowager looked behind Emperor Ling Xiao.
That look is always different from looking at Feng Qingyang!
Perhaps because of the relationship between former Queen Nalan Lianrong, she had never had a good impression of the Nalan family.
Feng Yichen had been close to the Nalan family since he was a child, and his personality was as aloof and contemptuous as the Nalan family. The Queen Mother had always disliked his aloof and self-righteous attitude.
In her eyes, Feng Qingyang's status was unparalleled among the many princes and grandsons.
Feng Yichen walked up to the Empress Dowager, his eyes fell on the distant face, and his face turned pale. It took him a while to squeeze out a sentence from his throat: "Emperor Grandmother, are you feeling better?"
"Well! Thanks to Yang'er for helping the Ai family to force out the poison, the Ai family has been able to enjoy a few more days of happiness."
Feng Yichen's face became even more ugly: "..." Feng Qingyang! Feng Qingyang! Damn Feng Qingyang!
The Empress Dowager glanced at Feng Yichen lightly, seeing that his eyes could not hide the jealousy, and she did not like this narrow-minded grandson in her heart.
She narrowed her tired eyes and said to Emperor Ling Xiao: "Emperor, the Ai family is fine! You have many things to do, so don't waste your precious time here at the Ai family. Go back, finish your political affairs early, and rest early!
"
"Then, mother-in-law, have a good rest, and my son will go back first!"
Emperor Ling Xiao nodded, his eyes fell on Feng Yichen's stiff face, and said to him: "Prince, please come with me. You girls, please take good care of me, don't be careless!"
"Here! Congratulations to the Emperor!"
Several palace maids in the room knelt down. One of the eldest girls, Hongxia, raised her head and happened to catch Feng Yichen's meaningful gaze.
She subconsciously looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to her, so she quietly nodded to Feng Yichen.
When Chen Xi arrived at Cixi Palace, the Queen Mother had just taken medicine and fell asleep.
In the gorgeous and luxurious palace, only one maid was left to guard the palace.
Seeing that Chen Xi had no intention of returning home, she frowned in the backlight. When she faced Chen Xi again, her attitude was humble:
"Sixteenth Princess, the Queen Mother has been awake for too long today. She finally fell asleep. She won't be able to wake up for a while. How about you come back tomorrow?"
