Now the only people in the Royal Garden are the emperor and several ministers in the court, and the concubine and the queen have already left.
Now the queen is very uncomfortable, and she has a feeling of stealing chickens without losing rice.
But now she doesn't have the energy to take care of these things, she has to tell her brother the news she just got.
Now the emperor must not take care of himself, the queen asked her brother to secretly enter the palace to discuss countermeasures.
The more important thing is that the emperor has now determined that Nan Xuanyu is on the side of the Duan family, and the emperor let Nan Xuanjue come forward without hesitation in front of him. Not any better.
Thinking of this, the queen felt annoyed in her heart, and when she thought of the waste in the Xueying Pavilion, she was even more annoyed.
Now the queen has no choice. The emperor seems to have no intention of letting people on her side interfere in Pingnan's affairs. The current queen looks a bit like a hero.
After receiving the secret order from his sister, Duan Cheng didn't care about the matter at hand, and even hurriedly entered the palace.
"Niangniang, what happened? In such a hurry to summon ministers to enter the palace, could it be that something happened to His Royal Highness?" Duan Cheng entered the palace and saw the empress sitting on the chair with an angry face, he knew that something must have happened.
"No, this matter has nothing to do with Yu'er." The queen shook her head, looked at her brother, and said coldly, "This time it was Duan Xi's trouble."
"Duan Xi? Isn't he a prefect in Pingnan? Apart from donating money to Xueying Pavilion every year, he seems to be safe and has nothing to do with it." Duan Cheng heard the Queen mention Duan Xi, a little Doubtful.
"Pingnan flood, Duan Xi, this idiot, has been greedy for the public funds issued by the court every year. Now there is no money, food or grass for disaster relief. The emperor is going to send someone to do disaster relief now." annoyed.
"I didn't expect that Duan Xi would be so stupid, to actually greedy all the money for disaster relief." Duan Cheng listened, although he was a little surprised, but in this way, it is not a big deal.
After all, Duan Xi is just a pawn in the Duan family. Without him, they naturally have other ways to arrange for someone else to take Duan Xi's place.
The queen seemed to see her brother's thoughts and said, "The emperor said that Duan Xi should be cut off."
Although the Queen's remarks had no other tone, Duan Cheng also understood the seriousness of the matter from it.
"Since the emperor has spoken, there is nothing we can do. Duan Xi must not stay, let alone let the emperor know where Duan Xi's money has flowed to." Duan Cheng made a decisive decision and said ruthlessly.
The queen nodded, agreeing with her brother's words, "Yes, Xueying Pavilion is our trump card, and we cannot let the emperor know about it. If the emperor really intends to let Nan Xuanjue take the throne in the future, we can rely on Xueying Pavilion... "
The queen didn't finish her words, but Duan Cheng naturally knew her sister. She was ruthless and would remove everything that stood in her way when necessary.
"But now Duan Xi doesn't know where to go, the emperor will probably send someone to look for him, and now the most urgent task is to find Duan Xi one step ahead and take him..." Do a neck wipe.
"Now there is one more thing." The queen showed a gloomy look and said with gritted teeth: "The emperor probably will let Nan Xuanjue go to disaster relief. If this matter is done well, I am afraid that Nan Xuanjue will be kept inside the palace and outside the palace. are very beneficial.”
Duan Cheng didn't expect that it would become like this now, so the emperor made it clear that he was targeting the Duan family.
"Now the emperor has only summoned Du Zihuan's party, and Yun Zhexuan from Yunxiao Mountain Villa." The queen mentioned Yun Zhexuan and snorted coldly, "It's all because of this Yun Zhexuan that I made my plan today. Failed. And that Ji Wushuang also jumped out to oppose Ben Gong, and now Ben Gong is beleaguered, what should we do?"
Duan Cheng didn't expect that the queen would be reduced to such a level recently, and said somewhat unexpectedly: "The niangniang should not target Ji Yueqin during this time. She can't do anything about her even if she hides from you. The most urgent task is to find Duan Xi."
"It's up to my brother to handle this matter. Now that the emperor has taken precautions against me, I can only secretly send people from Xueying Pavilion to help you." The queen was a little helpless, as if she had already thought of a countermeasure.
Duan Cheng nodded, suddenly thinking of me, and asked the Queen, "Is Duan Xi the only one who knows about our relationship with Xue Ying Pavilion?"
"I'm not too sure, this Duan Xi is a good talent, but unfortunately he is too greedy and lustful, otherwise he wouldn't be like this today." The Queen thought of Duan Xi, somewhat helplessly.
"It was because he saw that this kid was good, and he was pushed into this position. Now that something happened, he naturally has to be conscious. However, the emperor is just killing chickens and warning monkeys. He wants to warn us not to take too much action? ?" Duan Cheng rubbed his chin and pondered.
"Hmph, the emperor has now made it clear that he pushed Nan Xuanjue to confront our Duan family. I'm afraid the emperor has endured us for a long time. Besides, the emperor has never loved me, hasn't it? He has always only seen Duan Rou in his eyes. When have you ever had my shadow?" The Queen's words were a bit lonely.
"Niangniang, you are always hard-hearted. But you must be hard-hearted when you become a great cause. Only in this way can you help His Royal Highness to get to that position as soon as possible." Duan Cheng persuaded him.
"Brother, you don't understand." The queen sighed, her eyes couldn't tell what kind of emotion it was.
"By the way, at the Xueying Pavilion, do you know that Ye Yi and Ye Er disappeared together?" Duan Cheng said suddenly. Recently, the queen was planning some other things, but she handed over the Xue Ying Pavilion to his brother to take care of it. .
"Ye Er? Isn't he dead? What's the use of this kind of waste?" The queen snorted coldly when she heard what Duan Cheng said, and said with a bit of disdain.
"It's just that Yebengong has been cultivated for a long time. It's a pity to die. She has handled so many things for me over the years. Without her for a while, Bengong is a bit inconvenient." Thinking of Ye Yi, it's a bit of a pity.
Duan Cheng looked at his sister and showed a meaningful smile: "If Ye Yi knew her so-called benefactor, she was the one who killed the village that day. I don't know what she would think."
"Hmph, there's no need to stay in that kind of village. Instead of letting them hide there, it's better to do things for me." The queen sipped the tea in her cup lightly and sneered.
Duan Cheng smiled without saying a word, and also picked up his tea.
