Chapter 1353 Brazen

The news spread back to the Kingdom of Yan, and the Empress Dowager Yan learned that Zhong Xingxiao had been imprisoned because her subordinates had assassinated an important court official of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It's a treacherous trick, Bai Qingyan said that it was basically to get revenge when she betrayed Da Zhou and intentionally killed her brother.

Empress Dowager Yan got the news that she was injured when she entered the palace for the first time in Dazhou. She did not intercede with Bai Qingyan for Zhong Xingxiao's entry into the palace. Go, she couldn't sit still for a while, her face was pale, she was supported by her personal maid, and hurried to Murong Li's bedroom.

Murong Li had just finished talking with his elder brother Murong Ping, and was writing a letter to Da Zhou, when he heard his mother's voice, he gave Wang Jiuzhou a wink, put aside the brush with the green jade pen holder, and got up to meet the Queen Mother Yan.

Taking advantage of the situation, Wang Jiuzhou stamped the letter of reply written by Murong Li, and then went to welcome the Queen Mother Yan together behind Murong Li.

"Ali...Ali must try to save your uncle!" Empress Dowager Yan choked up and shouted as soon as she stepped into Murong Li's study, "Mother is such a big brother!"

Murong Li saluted, sat down with the Empress Dowager Yan who was crying, and then said, "The guards were all chosen by my uncle before he set off. This time, my uncle's guards assassinated Mr. Liu and were arrested on the spot by the guards of the Liu residence. It was only after being tortured that I spit out my uncle, and the evidence is conclusive..."

"No!" Empress Dowager Yan said in a sharp voice, "A Li, you forgot, it was your uncle who first agreed to your policy of betting on the country, and it was your uncle who persuaded your mother! Why is your uncle begging for help?" When Da Zhou agreed to the policy of betting on the country, he was stupid enough to send someone to assassinate the important ministers of Da Zhou!"

"The assassin said... that my uncle was afraid of Master Liu's mouth. It is well known in all countries that Master Liu is eloquent. Whether it is Xiliang or Daliang back then, they have all suffered losses from Master Liu. Uncle He wanted to promote the strategy of gambling between the two countries, so he sent someone to assassinate Master Liu, and now Master Liu of the Great Zhou Dynasty is still lying unconscious on the bed..."

In fact, as for whether Zhong Xingxiao really sent someone to assassinate Liu Rushi, Murong Lek was not interested, but...if Zhong Xingxiao could be kept in Dazhou, and there would be fewer people around the queen mother to bewitch, it might not be a good thing for Yan Guo .

"Even so...Even so, your uncle is doing it for the good of our Yan country! Can you try to save your uncle!" The Empress Dowager Yan firmly grasped Murong Li's hand, and said to Murong as if she suddenly remembered something. Li said, "Where is your ninth uncle? What did your ninth uncle say? He persuaded your uncle to go back to Dazhou. Did he explain to you? Before leaving...your ninth uncle promised, how could he let your uncle Something happened! Why didn't he ask the Emperor of Zhou, after all, the two of them have children..."

Murong Li's eyes darkened, and the soft voice that comforted the Empress Dowager Yan just now seemed a bit cold: "Mother, the news arrived a few days ago, Uncle Jiu entered the palace...he was injured, and the mother was in the alliance between the two countries. When I stabbed Da Zhou in the back, didn't I just hope that Uncle Jiu and Emperor Da Zhou would break up with each other? Now that Uncle Jiu and Emperor Da Zhou have reached a point of incompatibility, my mother can say that her wish has come true, but now... as soon as something happens to Uncle Mother is counting on the Great Zhou Emperor to remember his friendship with Uncle Jiu!"

"Mother's queen..." Murong Li pulled his hand from Queen Mother Yan's, "You can't always take advantage of the good things in the world! Because Da Zhou refused to do good when his mother was stabbed in the back. The second elder brother of Yan Guozhi, the great general Xie Xun, and the ninth uncle Yu Da Zhou agreed to the policy of betting on the country. They said that they would take the hostages of our country Yan who can fight well in Da Zhou, so they believed that our country Yan is a country that bets on the country sincerely. , instead of trying to stabilize Da Zhou with the theory of gambling on the country, waiting for the main force to come back to help... I want to fight Da Zhou."

The Empress Dowager Yan's face was pale, and she stared at Murong Li with wide eyes: "How could they be like this? Our country of Yan is willing to bet on the country, it is already..."

"Our country of Yan is willing to bet on the country because we have to do so at the moment of life and death! But Da Zhou... can completely trap the main force of our country of Yan, and then attack the capital of Yan! Queen Mother... Is it possible to do so now? Do you still think that our state of Yan's policy of gambling is a gift to Zhou?" Murong Li was a little bit harsh in his words because of the anger in his heart.

This... is the second time in so many years that Murong Li talked to Queen Mother Yan like this.

"Think about it later, mother, why did the Emperor of the Great Zhou keep Uncle Jiu in the Great Zhou?" Murong Li said in a cold voice, "The Emperor of the Great Zhou annoyed Uncle Jiu, so he left Uncle Jiu... I'm afraid it was for the sake of training Uncle Jiu. Can't the queen mother figure it out?"

"But Ayan is the father of her two children!"

"As soon as the mother made a move, she made Uncle Jiu completely separated from her own flesh and blood and lover, and even stood on the opposite side. Now she asked Uncle Jiu to use two children to beg Emperor Da Zhou to let him go. Uncle Jiu... got How cheeky do you have to be able to say this? Mother, you made Emperor Da Zhou care about children, so when you conspired with Xiliang back then, did you ever think that... Emperor Da Zhou is pregnant with Jiu Shu's own flesh and blood?"

If the person in front of him was not Murong Li's mother, Murong Li really wanted to ask...how could he be so cheeky?

"There is also the matter of going on a mission to Dazhou. Uncle Jiu can go... but uncle can't. This is also from my mother's mouth. To put it bluntly, uncle is mother's elder brother, and uncle Jiu is mother's brother. Younger brother, but not blood relatives, uncle and Uncle Jiu are still close to each other with mother! Ali feels sorry for Uncle Jiu!" Murong Li straightened his spine, looked at his mother who was paler than before, and said, "But mother also Don't forget, Uncle Jiu's surname is Murong, and A Li's surname is also Murong. To A Li... Uncle Jiu is as close as his mother, and I will never allow Uncle Jiu to have an accident! So this time I... only preserve Jiu uncle!"

"Ali! That's your uncle! He's related to you by blood!"

"How did Ah Li come to be the throne? I'm afraid my mother has forgotten it!" Murong Li's face was dull, "Mother asked herself, if it were my uncle...would he give up the throne to Ah Li?"

The Empress Dowager Yan tightened her palms, and her nails sank into the tender flesh of her palms.

"In the final analysis, mother and uncle are for the Zhong family, and I and uncle Jiu are for the Murong royal family." Murong Li is full of imperial spirit, "Mother is getting old, let's go back to tend flowers and plants, and pray for the Yan Kingdom! After Yan Don't meddle in the country's state affairs, I... have my own opinion!"

"A Li, why are you so cruel? That's your uncle...you just ignore it and let your uncle die unjustly?" Empress Dowager Yan cried out, "Your uncle loves you so much..."
