Chapter 290

"Master." a figure suddenly appeared in the room.

"How's it going?" Du Yunhan asked.

"King Ding said it would take three days."

"Three days, then let people delay for another three days." Du Xiaoli said.

"Yes," said the man in black.

"In addition, send more people to protect the young master."

"Yes." the man in black took command.

"Also, send someone to find the young lady and ask her not to return to Beijing for the time being."

"Yes."

"Go down." Du Yunhan waved his hand and lay down again after the man in black disappeared, as if what had just happened had never happened.

In the palace, the Empress Dowager and mammy Xi strolled leisurely in the palace. Today's sunshine is very good and warm.

"Have you found the jade seal?" asked the Empress Dowager.

"Back to the Lord, not yet." mother Xi held the Empress Dowager with worry on her face.

"Why haven't they been found for so many days? Why are those people so useless?" the Empress Dowager frowned and helped down to the prepared imperial concubine's chair to lie down and bask in the sun.

"Our people searched the palace inside and outside, but they just couldn't find it. So the old slave guessed whether they would hide the jade seal outside?" mother Xi speculated.

The Empress Dowager thought for a moment and said, "No."

"How can the master see it?"

"The day before the palace change, I saw the emperor use it with my own eyes. After the palace change, the palace was controlled by us. People entering and leaving the palace will be carefully checked. If you really take something out, you won't be unaware." the queen mother said, "so it must still be in the palace."

"Will it be with the Empress Dowager?" said mother Xi.

"That old thing, no one has been in before and after the palace change," said the Empress Dowager.

"Without the jade seal, his highness King Ren cannot ascend the throne. Since the jade seal is still in the palace, the old slave asked them to search again." mother Xi said.

"Go." the Empress Dowager waved her hand and narrowed her eyes to sleep.

A palace maid came over, blessed her body and said, "empress dowager, old Prime Minister Zhong is coming."

"Dad? Why is he here?" the queen mother opened her eyes and said, "bring him in."

The maid of honor stepped down. After a while, she brought in a man of 60 or 70 years old.

The Empress Dowager got up from the imperial concubine's chair and said to the prime minister, "Dad, you have been living in seclusion for so many years. How did you come into the palace today?"

Since Du Yunhan became prime minister, Zhong Bailin, the old prime minister, has released all his rights on the grounds that he is ill and can't go to the early Dynasty. He occupies the position of prime minister and provides for the aged at home. Later, he didn't go out much, and even Gong Yan won't come out. Few outsiders have seen him these years.

Old Prime Minister Zhong sat on the chair brought by the palace maid and said, "I haven't seen your sisters for a long time. Let me see you."

The Empress Dowager waved to the palace maid guard in the yard and said, "I'm sorry. I want my father to say something. You all go down."

"Yes."

Soon all the servant girls, eunuchs and bodyguards in the yard withdrew and left old Prime Minister Zhong with a good drink.

"Dad, what are you doing here?" asked the Empress Dowager.

"Let me see why you haven't succeeded for so many days. Minghong hasn't become emperor yet, and Han Mingze's life is still there." the prime minister Zhong said in a bad tone. It seems that he is very dissatisfied with their actions.

"Dad, the jade seal is missing. Without it, Ming Hong can't ascend the throne. Han Mingze can't kill him until he finds the jade seal." the Empress Dowager said.

"The jade seal is gone?" old Prime Minister Zhong's face sank and said, "the palace has changed for so many days. Even if the jade seal is gone, it should be found now!"

"I've sent someone to search the whole palace, but I haven't found the whereabouts of the jade seal," said the Empress Dowager.

"What about the imperial concubines' palaces?" asked Zhong Berlin.

"They have been searched," said the Empress Dowager. "I locked all the concubines in the cold palace, and then asked people to look for them in each palace. I didn't find the jade seal."

"Han Mingze is very close to that imperial concubine Yi. Send more people to search her palace." Zhong Berlin said, "there is a hurry now. You should get it quickly. Even if you dig three feet, you should find the jade seal."

"Dad, my daughter doesn't understand."

"What's up?"

"Dad, when Ming Hong ascended the throne, we are already the highest authority in Fengming country. Why should we give up the power in our hands? Why don't we break the connection over there and stay here..."

"Bastard!" Zhong Berlin was so angry that he stabbed the ground with his cane and looked at the Queen Mother treacherously, "what was the purpose of our coming here? How can we betray the top! What we did is for our Lord and our roots! Don't think so in the future!"

"Why not?" the Empress Dowager disagreed with Zhong Bailin, "Dad, how many things we have done and how much strength we have secretly supported over the years! You have worked hard for them all your life, but what have you got? Now we have the right, why should we worship them? Dad, you were born over there, but I am not, sister is not, and my child is not! This is my home. Why should I because of a complete family Abandon my home in a strange place? "

"We worship the gods! If you say these words, the gods will punish you! Cough -" Zhong Berlin was so angry at the Empress Dowager's words that he coughed for a moment. "Dad, how are you?" the Empress Dowager hurried up and patted him on the back. "You are so disrespectful to the gods that you want the gods to punish us!" Zhong Berlin stopped and pushed the Empress Dowager away. "Don't think you're the Empress Dowager now. How many people have been sent here? We're just a humble pawn working for the gods!" the Empress Dowager didn't dare to say anything when she saw that Zhong Berlin was so angry, but she still didn't intend to hand over her rights. "Find out the jade seal quickly. If you can't find it, try to pry Han Mingze's mouth open! Don't think about those ideas! Hear me!" Zhong Berlin said angrily. "Yes." "I'll go first. You should hurry up and get things done!" "yes." when Zhong Bailin left, the Empress Dowager was very angry. She kicked the stool he had just sat on. Kicking the stool was still not relieved. She turned and kicked her imperial concubine's chair. "Master!" mother Xi came behind the Empress Dowager and looked at her with some worry when she saw that she was so angry. "Why! Why should I hand over my power? What did those people do? They didn't do anything! They just watched us send batch after batch of resources to them in the mountains in the South and watched us seize power for them. Now we are the highest power, and they asked us to hand over the power we got? Beautiful! Dad Stubborn, he wants to be loyal to that God all his life. That's his business. Anyway, I won't! "
