Chapter 896 A group of drama queens and a silly person

In the Cining Hall, the eldest lady was sitting on the phoenix chair. She looked at Li Zhan who was bowing down below, waved her hand for Li Zhan to get up, and asked the attendant Zhu next to her to move a grand master's chair for Li Zhan, and asked Li Zhan to sit down.

Li Zhan did not directly express his intention to come. He chatted with the eldest lady for a long time, and half an hour passed. Li Zhan saw that the atmosphere was relatively harmonious, so he spoke.

"My eldest lady, today Grand Prime Minister Han told me about the jade seal. Please come and advise me!"

As soon as the eldest lady heard this, her expression immediately dropped, and she asked with some displeasure.

"Ms. Li, do you think the Ai family is easy to bully, so are you ready to show your loyalty to the officials?"

Li Zhan frowned and looked at the rude Queen Mother, feeling slightly unhappy. However, thinking of the late emperor's favor and trust in him, he had to calm down and then persuaded her earnestly.

"Madam, after all, the official has been on the throne for more than a year, the government is stable, and it is justifiable to be in charge of the jade seal!"

The eldest lady looked at Li Zhan with a frosty look on her face and looked at Li Zhan with displeasure. She angrily slapped the armrest of the phoenix chair, interrupted Li Zhan's words and asked.

"Xiangong Li, have you forgotten the late emperor's promotion and appreciation of you? Now you are working with outsiders to bully me, an old woman who lives alone!"

Li Zhan sighed, looked at the angry eldest lady, stood up, bowed and said.

"The late Emperor was indeed very kind to me, and I will never forget it. But, Madam, have you ever thought about the future. Even if you win the fight with the officials, what's the point?"

The eldest lady had already lost her calm at this time, and spoke directly without caring about Li Zhan's persuasion.

"Li Zhanyou really has too much to worry about, so I don't need you, the great minister, to care about these things!"

Li Zhan was also angry. At this time, the eldest lady had completely lost her grace and magnanimity. She was dazzled by the desire for power. She only focused on fighting for power and gain, without any regard to the fact that doing so would cause party strife, which would be harmful to the country and herself, but not beneficial.

Li Zhan stood up, looked at the angry eldest lady, bowed, and left the Cining Hall angrily.

The eldest lady looked at Li Zhan who had disappeared before her eyes, put away all her anger, looked at the servant Zhu beside her, and said with some emotion.

"Xiangong Li is an upright man who values ​​affection and righteousness. When it came to the imperial examination, he contradicted the officials every time. He would rather leave the center than compromise. Now even he has come to persuade me to let go. Do you think the Ai family is Did you really do something wrong?"

The waiter Zhu carefully bowed his waist, raised his eyes and glanced at the face of the eldest lady, and said quietly.

"I don't know what's right or wrong. I only know how to be loyal to the eldest lady. I never consider other slaves!"

The eldest lady glanced at the sincere Attendant Zhu, her face was uncertain, and finally turned into a stern look, and sighed.

"It's a pity that there are no people as loyal as you nowadays. All the civil and military officials in the dynasty are eager to express their loyalty to our officials. Naturally, they don't take this lonely old lady of the Ai family seriously!"

The waiter Zhu was so frightened by the eldest lady's words that he knelt down and kowtowed.

The eldest lady stood up and helped him up, patted the arm of Chamberlain Zhu and comforted him.

"What are you doing? Why don't you get up quickly? You are the most loyal person around me now, and no one else will mention it!"

Li Zhan was very angry at the eldest lady, and left the palace directly without telling Han Qi the result.

Li Zhan believed that someone would naturally inform Han Qi and the officials about his angry departure from Cining Hall, and there was no need for him to go and explain it in person.

The official listened to the report from the eunuch beside him and waved him down. Looking at King Huan and Han Qi sitting below, he smiled slightly and said relaxedly.

"It seems that the conversation between our Xianggong Li and the eldest lady did not go well? At this time, Xianggong Li has already left the palace in anger!"

Han Qi and Zhao Ceying looked at each other with a hint of joy. This was exactly the result they were happy to see.

After Li Zhan defeated Xixia in the first battle, the officials understood that Li Zhan was definitely the best candidate to realize their ambition to regain their homeland. However, because Li Zhan cared about the late emperor's affection, he never expressed his attitude and remained neutral. So I am very worried. Now that Li Zhan and the eldest lady are at odds, their relationship will inevitably become estranged. This is naturally good news for the official family.

After Han Qi smiled, he offered advice to the officials.

"Officials, since Mr. Li has returned in disgrace, why not use Zhong Huai's method and directly snap off the jade seal!"

The official glanced at the old fox Han Qi, and felt slightly moved in his heart. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said softly.

"Just follow Zhong Huai's method!"

Li Zhan knew a long time ago that when he came to persuade the eldest lady, he would inevitably end up unhappy. After leaving the palace angrily, the anger on his face disappeared in an instant. What he just said was also for the officials and others to see.

After Li Zhan returned to the court, his prestige increased greatly. The officials and Han Qi were naturally worried that he would seek refuge with the eldest lady, so today Han Qi tested his position and bottom line and asked Li Zhan to go and persuade the eldest lady, hoping that Li Zhan and the eldest lady could Have some conflicts so they can feel at ease.

Li Zhan was also well aware of the concerns of Han Qi and the officials, so he went to the Cining Palace to let the officials and the civil and military officials of the court know that he and the eldest empress were not of the same party and had left the country. Cining Palace, without going to the officials to discuss countermeasures with Han Qi, left the palace directly, which also showed to the eldest lady that she did not want to get involved in these messy things.

Li Zhan was sitting in the carriage, feeling a little tired of the feuding and profit fighting in the court. He was thinking about when he would be able to return to the Northwest Fourth Road again. He still liked to stay with the soldiers, laughing and cursing, feeling happy and angry. No need to be so hypocritical.

Not to mention that Li Zhan returned to Dingyuan Hou Mansion in a depressed mood. After all, Gu Tingye was deceived by Han Qi, an old fox. He took the initiative to go to the Cining Palace and borrowed the imperial seal from the eldest lady. He never returned it. He directly deducted the jade seal.

The next day, after learning the truth, the eldest lady was so angry that she summoned Gu Tingye to the Cining Hall after the dynasty had dispersed. She questioned Gu Tingye sternly. Gu Tingye was unwilling to give in and directly angered the eldest lady and ordered someone to beat him severely. He gave Gu Tingye a slap in the face.

Li Zhan stood outside the palace gate and looked at Gu Tingye who was being carried out on a stretcher. The clothes on his buttocks were stained red. He knew without looking that his buttocks must be bloody.

Li Zhan stretched out his hand to stop the guard who was carrying Gu Tingye, looked at the lying Gu Tingye with a half-smile, and slapped Gu Tingye's wound hard with his palm.

Gu Tingye let out a sharp cry of pain and stopped him loudly.

"Ah! Ziqing, what are you doing? Stop it, it hurts me to death!"

Li Zhan leaned down, looked at Gu Tingye, and said in a deep voice.

"This is to remind you not to interfere in everything. You should also think more about Minglan and Sister Rong!"
