At night, after Wen Shuyu fell asleep, she actually dreamed of her previous life and Yang Jian.

His smile and unruly appearance in the dream made Wen Shuyu grind her teeth in anger again. When Wen Shuyu argued with him, Yang Jian pushed her into the water for some reason.

Wen Shuyu stretched out her hand to grab at something, but was shocked awake all of a sudden.

"Phew …" She sat up and let out a long breath. So it was just a dream. Why was she always dreaming about Yang Jian? It seemed like she had been troubled by both internal and external problems in her previous life!

"What's wrong, Princess? What are your orders?" Was it a nightmare? " When Qian Cao heard the sound, she knew that the princess had woken up and rushed over to inquire about the matter.

"Qian Cao, what time is it now?" Wen Shuyu rubbed her forehead, obviously not having a good night's sleep.

"It's only the fourth day now, please don't go to sleep. Qian Cao will be waiting for you here."

"Fine, I'm going to sleep for a while. I'm not feeling very well today, so aside from Great Empress Dowager who has matters to discuss with me and some other special matters to attend to, don't wake me up. When it's morning, send someone to the Palace of Tzu Ning to inform them that I've had a nightmare last night, and then pay my respects to the Palace of Tzu Ning in the afternoon."

"Qian Cao understands."

Wen Shuyu lay back down after she had settled the matters of the morning. However, she tossed and turned in her sleep, unable to fall asleep. After some time, the Calm Incense also took effect. Wen Shuyu gradually fell asleep. It was already the fifth fragment of the night.

Early in the morning, County Lord Jinghe and Tian Lan arrived at Wen Shuyu's side hall.

"County Lord, Princess is still not up yet. Last night, Qian Cao stayed up late and said that she had a nightmare for the princess, that she fell asleep in the fifth fragment of the night, that even Great Empress Dowager had to send someone to inform her of the situation. How about County Lord stays here for breakfast and wait for the princess to wake up?"

Ling Xi had to always report what Qian Cao's homework told her.

"Linglong is in a nightmare again? Did you order the Calming Incense? A few days ago, Ling Long had cried in Great Empress Dowager's arms, causing Great Empress Dowager to worry for a while. Now that it's like this, how can we deal with it? "

Tian Lan was worried that Wen Shuyu would not be able to handle the situation if this were to continue on. She was worried that Great Empress Dowager would also worry about Wen Shuyu if she found out about this, so she assigned an imperial physician to look for her personally.

"In reply to County Lord, we've already lit the Calming Incense. Qian Cao was watching us from the side before we fell asleep."

"When Linglong gets up, I'll pass on the message to the imperial physician to take a look first. Don't make things difficult for her every time. I'll just wait here for Linglong with breakfast."

"It's County Lord."

Ling Xi informed the second-rate palace maid, Glutinous Rice, where County Lord Jinghe had breakfast this morning and prepared County Lord's favorite dishes.

Among the maids, Ling Xi was the most intelligent, shrewd, and transparent one.

It wasn't long before Wen Shuyu woke up. The palace maid waited for her to dress up before leaving the hall.

"What time did Jing Shu come?" Can I have breakfast now? " Wen Shuyu had slept soundly, and her mood looked better.

"I've been here for a while, the breakfast was prepared with glutinous rice. Her cooking skills are really getting better and better and you don't like eating in my hall anymore. Linglong, did you have a nightmare last night?" How about Imperial Physician Xuan come and take a look! "

Tian Lan was a little worried, but she couldn't make the decision on her own accord. She was afraid that if she made Great Empress Dowager worried again, she would still have to ask Wen Shuyu about it.

"No need, no need. If Great Empress Dowager knew, the imperial physician would come visit every day. I'll just sleep for a while longer."

For the rest of the day, Wen Shuyu and Tian Lan didn't leave the side hall. Other than reading, they only watched Tian Lan pick up her needlework.

These two days had passed peacefully without any incident, but Wen Shuyu had always felt her eyelids twitching, as if something was going to happen. However, when she thought back to her previous life, she could not remember that something big was going to happen. Just as she was lost in thought, news came from the imperial court.

This was something Wen Shuyu had never expected. This had never happened before in his previous life.

That morning, the Emperor, Lou Yiyang and Empress Dowager Yu, went to the imperial court as usual.

The Emperor had already lost his crown, but Empress Dowager Yu still refused to hand over authority to Lou Yiyang. She still held herself aloof from the rest and listened to everyone else, reporting everything and obtaining permission before allowing the Emperor to lay down the imperial edict before adding the Imperial Jade Seal.

In the audience hall, Imperial Party had sent someone to perform.

"This subject has a starter."

Noticing that no one else had reported it, the assistant minister stepped forward and respectfully handed over the imperial report.

"Yu Dingwen and Lord Yu were ordered to use their power for personal gains in the performance. They secretly roped out the various kingdoms and attached a letter. Your majesty, please have a look."

They all belonged to the Imperial Party faction, and claimed that Empress Dowager Yu would hand over the imperial power so that the Emperor could wield it. Most of the civil servants had old ideas, but most of them were the Elders of the previous two dynasties, and there was also Assistant Minister. Since they were supporting the Emperor, Wu Tie, they would weaken Empress Dowager Yu's power.

When the middle vice minister finished his report, the people in the hall began to discuss among themselves. Yu Dingwen immediately stepped out of the line and went forward to kneel.

Your majesty is enlightened and your subject is terrified. Your subject has not been in this position for long, so how could I dare to act in such a manner? Your subject is Empress Dowager Yu's nephew and is considered the center of the imperial court.

Although Yu Dingwen was smart, he was still caught unprepared by the rebellion and did not know where the letter came from, but he knew in his heart that it must be a plot set up by the Imperial Party, to get rid of him, and to let Empress Dowager Yu off with a big helping hand. It seemed like it would be difficult for him to escape!

After waiting for the ministers to express their opinions, the situation had been divided into two factions. This was also the expected result.

At this time, Empress Dowager Yu who was behind the bead curtain spoke out, "Your majesty, since this matter involves Lady Yu, it is not convenient for me to step in, but things cannot be hastily concluded like this. After all, secret communication through Balie Kingdom is not a small crime, and it might implicate me, Lady Yu, who is also your mother's house. What does the Emperor mean? "

Empress Dowager Yu spoke very clearly. Although she had a dignified appearance, her voice was soft and her words were confident.

However, no one could see that behind the bead curtain, Empress Dowager Yu's eyes were emitting a piercing lustre, and her hand that was tightly clenched under the wide sleeves had almost broken the fingernail on her hand!

"The Queen Mother said that the affair of exorcism cannot be generalized. If you listen to her words and follow Queen Mother's advice, then we will close the gates for now and wait for the truth to be revealed before we make our decision! Does Queen Mother think that's good? "

His Majesty was in a great mood. It was finally time to start. He wanted to take over Empress Dowager Yu's forces one step at a time, leaving her with no one to use. He wanted to see how she would control the imperial government when the time came.
