Chapter 553 Will (3)
The direction he was heading was Cining Palace.
Aunt Yang carefully beat Empress Dowager Yide's shoulders. She had a good grasp of her strength and had been taking care of Empress Dowager Yide for decades. Aunt Yang was always so thoughtful. In the past, Empress Dowager Yide was served by her comfortably, but today, Empress Dowager Yide's brows have not relaxed, as if she had encountered something unsolvable and kept wrinkling tightly.
Aunt Yang sighed silently. Maybe the news of Xuan Pei killing was not hidden after all, but he wanted to try his best to hide it. How could the Eighth Prince's sect let go of such an opportunity to attack Xuan Pei? Now the comments flying all over the court are all hoped to decide the crown prince as soon as possible. The Thirteenth Prince is not worthy of being the emperor for his virtues, and the Eighth Prince is the well-deserved future master of the Dajin Dynasty. Although these voices are not as arrogant as they are on the surface, they have almost spread throughout the previous dynasty of the Dajin Dynasty. Xuan Pei was under house arrest and naturally did not know about these things outside, but perhaps a good thing. Aunt Yang thought to himself that he was just a young child. It would be too cruel for him to face the tragedy of flesh and blood and confuse right and wrong at such an age.
Xuan Pei did not face these cruel things directly, and all the pressure was pushed to Empress Dowager Yide. Empress Dowager Yide, the empress dowager who ruled the country from behind the curtain, could not do it for too long, otherwise it would be criticized by the world. Just like an empress dowager who personally governed the country after his death in the previous dynasty. No matter how well the family and country were governed, she could never get the name of a demon queen, and was eventually overturned by civil and military officials and the regent.
If Empress Dowager Yide had not expressed his opinion for a long time, the court officials would think that she wanted to control the government affairs by herself. But once Xuan Pei provoked this matter, Empress Dowager Yide would not be able to support him openly. In such a situation in the court, Xuan Pei's followers also turned against him, but Xuan Li had much more people.
Aunt Yang knew the thoughts of Empress Dowager Yide. At that time, the emperor wanted to make Xiao Shao the crown prince, but Xiao Shao never had this intention. Empress Dowager Yide thought that she owed Xiao Shao, and it was impossible not to ignore Xiao Shao's intentions. If Xiao Shao did not want to be this emperor, Empress Dowager Yide would naturally not force him. To be fair, no matter which side Empress Dowager Yide chose, it would be harmless to him. She was always the emperor's grandmother, and Xuan Pei and Xuan Li could not do anything to her, as long as they were not afraid of being drowned by the spits of the people in the world.
With Empress Dowager Yide's original character, he would definitely not take action, but Prince Jinying's mansion has clearly stated that he was on Xuan Pei's side, which represents Xiao Shao's attitude. Although this must be because of Jiang Ruan, it was later proved that since Xuan Li had an indescribable relationship with Southern Xinjiang, he was a pawn that could no longer be used on Empress Dowager Yide's side.
Therefore, Empress Dowager Yide will not express his support for Xuanli publicly. Even if the general trend is in progress, Empress Dowager Yide will still hold on with countless pressures. Even if this woman is bloody, she will be like an iron mirror and will not surrender to anyone.
"Empress, now..." Aunt Yang finally couldn't help but ask the question that had always been puzzled in her heart: "What is your hard work to hold on?"
"To wait for an opportunity." Empress Dowager Yide, who had her eyes closed, said so.
