Chapter 170 Queen Mother, this is what the King of Shu meant

Prince Shu's Mansion.

While the battle was going on at the Shangyang Gate of the palace, the Prince of Shu's palace was not at peace either.

The Queen Mother, who had fainted before, woke up faintly and saw herself lying on the couch in the Shu Palace. The Queen Mother's expression couldn't help but change.

Remembering what happened in the meeting hall of Prince Shu's Mansion, the Queen Mother immediately sat up.

"Here comes someone."

The Queen Mother shouted.

"Queen Mother."

As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, an old palace maid appeared next to the Queen Mother.

"How long has Aijia been asleep?"

"Where is the King of Shu?"

"Has the King of Shu already left the Shu Palace?"

The Queen Mother asked hurriedly.

I kept thinking in my heart, hoping that I had not been asleep for a long time and that Zhou Zhi was still in the Shu Palace.

Otherwise, if she had been asleep for too long and Zhou Zhi had left the Shu Palace, there would have been no room for recovery.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother has been asleep for more than half an hour."

"The King of Shu has left the Shu King's Mansion half an hour ago."

The old palace maid bowed and said.

"What?"

"The King of Shu left the Shu Palace half an hour ago?"

The Queen Mother's expression changed, and her heart sank to the bottom.

The Queen Mother did not expect that she had been asleep for half an hour, and Zhou Zhi also left the Shu Palace half an hour ago.

Now, there is really no room for recovery.

Half an hour was enough for Zhou Zhi to usurp the throne.

"Quickly, prepare for the Ai family to return to the palace."

"The Ai family will return to the palace immediately."

The Queen Mother reacted and said quickly.

Now that Zhou Zhi's usurpation of the throne has begun, it is impossible to stop it.

But the Queen Mother still wanted to rush back to the palace immediately, hoping to save Zhou Zhi's life.

If it's late, it's too late.

In the view of the Queen Mother, it was impossible for Zhou Zhi to usurp the throne.

"Queen Mother, our people are still being detained by the guards of the Shu Palace, and the entire Shu Palace is under martial law."

"The King of Shu only asked four maids and slaves to guard the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother wants to return to the palace immediately. The guards of the Prince of Shu's Mansion..."

The old palace maid didn't say anything further, but everyone understood what she meant.

That means it is impossible for the guards of the Shu Palace to let the Queen Mother out of the Shu Palace and return to the palace at this time.

"Humph, the Ai family said that the Ai family will return to the palace immediately."

"Anyone who dares to stop him will be killed by the Ai family."

"What's the matter? That bitch slave Wu Shi doesn't listen to Ai Jia's words. Don't you also listen to Ai Jia's words?"

The Queen Mother looked at the old palace maid and said coldly.

Wu Shi is the closest attendant to the Queen Mother, and this old palace maid is also the most capable person beside the Queen Mother.

It can be said that the status of this old palace maid beside the Queen Mother is no worse than that of the old eunuch Wu Jian.

Moreover, the strength of this old palace maid is second only to Wu Tongue in the Queen Mother's side.

If Ji Wusheng and San De had not used tricks to capture the defenseless old palace maid, it would not have been so easy for them to keep the Queen Mother in the Shu Palace so easily.

"I don't dare, slave."

The old palace maid quickly knelt down.

As soon as the old palace maid finished speaking, there was a sound of fighting and fighting outside.

"what happened?"

The Queen Mother looked shocked and stood up directly.

Even the old palace maid who was kneeling immediately stood up to protect the Queen Mother.

"Queen Mother, it's not good. The Eight Wise Kings came to Shu Palace with their people to see the Queen Mother."

"But the Prime Minister didn't allow it, so the Eight Wise Kings led their men directly into the Prince of Shu's Mansion."

At this time, a palace maid ran in with a panic look on her face and said.

When the Queen Mother heard this, her face turned a little pale.

The Eight Wise Kings brought their people to the Prince of Shu's Mansion, and even went straight into the Prince of Shu's Mansion.

This shows what?

The Queen Mother could guess a thing or two without thinking carefully.

What the Queen Mother didn't expect was that Prime Minister Yuan Bo was also at the Shu Palace.

"Why is Prime Minister Yuan Bo in the Shu Palace?"

The Queen Mother looked at the old maid guarding her.

"Queen Mother, when the King of Shu left the palace, he was afraid that someone would disturb the Queen Mother, so he asked the Prime Minister to be responsible for the security of the palace."

"In addition to the prime minister, there are five ministers from the court who are also in the Shu Palace."

The old palace maid immediately spoke.

Are you afraid that someone will disturb the Ai family?

When the Queen Mother heard this, her expression suddenly dropped, and her anger surged.

"The traitor."

The Queen Mother immediately saw Zhou Zhi's intention and cursed fiercely.

Any fear of someone disturbing the Queen Mother is all nonsense.

This was obviously because she was afraid that she, the Queen Mother, would wake up and leave the Shu Palace to return to the palace, and ordinary people would not be able to stop her, the Queen Mother.

Therefore, Zhou Zhi asked Prime Minister Yuan Bo, an important official in the court, to come to the Shu Palace to be responsible for the security of the Shu Palace.

To put it nicely, he is responsible for the security of the Shu Palace.

To put it mildly, isn't it just to restrict her, the Queen Mother, from leaving the Shu Palace?

Perhaps others would not dare to stop her as the Queen Mother, but an important minister like Prime Minister Yuan Bo would.

What's more, there are five other ministers in the court.

"Walk."

"Go out with the Ai family to have a look."

The Queen Mother walked directly outside.

The two palace maids followed closely behind.

…

The front yard of the Prince of Shu's Mansion.

At this moment, the fighting continues.

The Eight Sage King Zhou Xian led some masters from the royal family and thousands of forbidden troops, and rushed directly into the Shu Palace.

"Yuan Bo, you dare to prevent me from meeting the Queen Mother and imprison the Queen Mother. You are really looking for death."

The Eight Wise King Zhou Chen looked at Prime Minister Yuan Bo opposite and said coldly.

"Hmph, Eight Wise Kings, you should stop being such a mouthful."

"When did the truth imprison the Queen Mother?"

"But what do you, the Eight Wise Kings, want to do when you rush into the Prince of Shu's palace with this man of men?"

Prime Minister Yuan Bo asked the Eighth Sage King Zhouxian with a serious face, without paying any attention to the identity of the Eighth Sage King Zhouxian.

Now they both understand what's going on.

The Eight Wise King Zhou Xian brought people to the Shu Palace to see the Queen Mother. It was obvious that His Majesty in the palace was worried about the Queen Mother.

It is impossible for Prime Minister Yuan Bo to let Zhou Xian, the Eight Wise King, see the Queen Mother, and it is also impossible for him to let the Queen Mother leave the Shu Palace.

Because the Queen Mother is their guarantee and their last bargaining chip.

If something unexpected happened this time, with the Queen Mother in hand, they might still be able to struggle.

Otherwise, they will be completely suppressed without even a chance to struggle.

"Since you didn't imprison the Ai family, why did you prevent the Eight Wise Kings from seeing the Ai family."

As soon as Prime Minister Yuan Bo finished speaking, a majestic and cold voice sounded.

I saw the Queen Mother walking from the inner courtyard of the palace with a gloomy look.

In addition to the two palace maids, there were also many people following the Queen Mother.

These are the people the Queen Mother brought with her when she left the palace.

The Queen Mother had just asked the old palace maid to rescue all the people she had brought directly from the hands of the guards of the Shu Palace.

"Queen Mother?"

The sudden appearance of the Queen Mother made Prime Minister Yuan Bo's expression change.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo did not expect that the Queen Mother had already woken up and passed through the layers of guards in the inner courtyard to the front courtyard.

Now I'm in trouble.

Compared with the change in the expression of Prime Minister Yuan Bo, the face of the Eight Sage King Zhou Xian was obviously relieved.

Although the Eight Wise King Zhou Xian believed that no one would dare to harm the Queen Mother easily, he still felt a little worried.

Now that the Queen Mother came out safe and sound, the Eight Wise King Zhou Xian, who had been worrying about it, could breathe a sigh of relief.

"I have met the Queen Mother."

The Eight Wise King Zhou Xian killed several masters who blocked him with one sword, jumped up to the side of the Queen Mother, bowed and said.

At this time, the fighting scene also stopped at the moment when the Queen Mother appeared.

The troops on both sides stepped aside.

The Queen Mother glanced at the Eight Wise King Zhou Xian without saying anything, but looked directly at the Prime Minister Yuan Bo; "Prime Minister, you haven't answered the Ai family's question yet."

"Since you are not imprisoning the Ai family, why are you preventing the Eight Wise Kings from seeing the Ai family?"

"Why don't the guards in the inner courtyard let the Ai family in and out?"

"Can you explain it to the Aijia?"

The Queen Mother looked at Prime Minister Yuan Bo coldly, her tone making people shudder.

"Queen Mother, this is what the King of Shu wants."

"I am just following the wishes of the King of Shu."

Prime Minister Yuan Bo said expressionlessly.

"What does King Shu mean?"

The Queen Mother sneered.

"How come the Ai family doesn't know when the King of Shu has the power to order the Prime Minister of Zhou Dynasty?"

"When did the Zhou Dynasty have the rule that the king could command the important ministers of the court? It is because the Ai family is ignorant and ignorant, or the Ai family is old and confused."

The Queen Mother's voice was a little louder and a little colder.

If it weren't for people from these aristocratic families collaborating with Zhou Zhi, Zhou Zhi wouldn't have the courage and confidence to openly usurp the throne.

In the view of the Queen Mother, Zhou Zhi is now on a dead end because of people from these aristocratic families.

Otherwise, with her being the Queen Mother, even if Zhou Zhi had done what he had done before, the Queen Mother would be very sure that she could save Zhou Zhi's life.

But now, Zhou Zhi directly brings people into the palace to usurp the throne, which is no longer something she, the Queen Mother, can protect.

The Queen Mother wished she could cut these people into pieces.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo remained silent.

The Queen Mother's face suddenly turned cold, and she directly ordered: "Eight Wise Kings, arrest all these rebellious people in the Ai family. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed on the spot."

The Queen Mother no longer wanted to talk nonsense.

She doesn't have time to talk nonsense with these people.

She still wanted to rush back to the palace to see how Zhou Zhi was doing.

Therefore, the Queen Mother asked the Eight Wise King Zhou Xian to directly capture all those who dared to rebel.

As for how to deal with it, that is not something the Queen Mother should worry about.

"Yes, Queen Mother."

When the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Come on, let me capture them all. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy."

Thousands of imperial troops, led by some masters of the royal family, once again rushed towards Prime Minister Yuan Bo and his group.

After hearing the Queen Mother's words, Prime Minister Yuan Bo's face flashed with gloom.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo knew that they had no way out now.

If they were captured by Zhou Xian, the Eight Wise King, what awaited them would definitely be life or death.

Besides, the Queen Mother is a big bargaining chip in their hands, and they must never let the Queen Mother leave their control.

"Do it."

Prime Minister Yuan Bo didn't say anything more and just uttered two words in a cold voice.

As soon as Prime Minister Yuan Bo finished speaking, many people suddenly appeared around the front yard, directly attacking the masters of the royal family and thousands of forbidden troops.

These manpower that suddenly appeared were not from the Shu Palace, but from the three major families.

The three major aristocratic families brought many people into Luoyang, and only the strongest among them entered the palace.

The rest of the men were left outside the palace.

In order to completely control the Queen Mother, Prime Minister Yuan Bo placed all the personnel from the three major families in the Prince of Shu's Mansion.

The sound of fighting resumes.

The fighting started again.

The master guards who originally belonged to the Shu Palace also gritted their teeth and obeyed Prime Minister Yuan Bo's order again, and together with the men from the three major families, they attacked the thousands of forbidden troops.

They are all small people, and they are all from the Shu Palace.

They have no choice but to follow orders.

The order given by the King of Shu was to obey the Prime Minister Yuan Bo, so they could only obey the orders of the Prime Minister Yuan Bo.

What's more, they have already seen the current situation and they have no way out.

The only way to go is to fight.

Seeing how many people Prime Minister Yuan Bo deployed in the Shu Palace and how dared to directly resist, the Queen Mother's face turned extremely cold.

The Queen Mother glanced at the old palace maid behind her: "Why are you still standing there in a daze?"

"Catch these traitors for the Ai family."

The people the Queen Mother brought out of the palace were all masters.

Otherwise, how can we protect the safety of the Queen Mother?

"Yes, Queen Mother."

The old palace maid hesitated for a moment, a little worried about the Queen Mother's safety.

But seeing the unquestionable look in the Queen Mother's eyes, the old palace maid could only obey her orders.

The old palace maid waved her hand.

Those who followed the Queen Mother out of the palace immediately took action and joined the battlefield.

Even the old palace maid herself was no exception. The Grand Master's late stage strength exploded, and she jumped directly towards the Prime Minister Yuan Bo.

The Eight Wise King Zhou Xian did not take action this time. The Queen Mother was here, and his first priority was to protect the Queen Mother's safety.

…

More than ten minutes later.

The sound of fighting stopped suddenly.

The master guards of the Shu Palace and the manpower of the three major families were all suppressed.

Even Prime Minister Yuan Bo was no exception. He became a prisoner and was held on his knees by two imperial guards.

In addition to Prime Minister Yuan Bo, five other ministers were also arrested by the Imperial Army.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo glanced at the Queen Mother and the Eight Wise King Zhou Xian, with a gloomy look on his face.

I don’t know what’s going on in the palace.

But it was over for the Prince of Shu's Palace, and the Queen Mother's biggest bargaining chip was gone.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo really didn't expect that the Eight Sage King Zhou Xian would bring so many royal masters and thousands of forbidden troops to the Shu Palace.

The Queen Mother looked coldly at Prime Minister Yuan Bo, who had become a prisoner, and said nothing.

The Queen Mother glanced sideways at the Eighth Sage King Zhou Xian: "Eighth Sage King, are you here at the Prince of Shu's Mansion on His Majesty's orders?"

"How is the situation in the palace?"

"Has the King of Shu already entered the palace?"

The Queen Mother looked at the Eight Wise King Zhou Xian and asked eagerly.

This is what the Queen Mother is most concerned about now.

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian shook his head and said, "Queen Mother, I don't know what the situation is like in the palace."

"I am here to protect the Queen Mother according to His Majesty's decree."

"The Prince of Shu's palace and palace are in chaos now. For the safety of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother should go to the clan's mansion with her ministers first!"

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian said.

"Going to the clan mansion?"

"Is this what Your Majesty meant?"

The Queen Mother's expression changed immediately after hearing the words of the Eight Wise King Zhou Xian.

"The Ai family will not go to the clan's mansion. The Ai family will return to the palace immediately."

The Queen Mother said firmly, leaving no room for Zhou Xian, the Eight Wise King, to refute.

After finishing speaking, the Queen Mother directly asked the old palace maid to prepare to return to the palace.
