Chapter 1966: She is the Empress Dowager

what he did, the entire Imperial City police department is not allowed to arrest him. Just hand him over directly to the Xuanyuan Pavilion for handling.Anyone who violates the regulations will bear f...Ye Bufan arrived at the entrance of Lingxiao Academy. Zheng Sanbao had already prepared his horse here. Everyone mounted their horses, and two people rode side by side in the front.

"Head Butler, do you know why the Dowager Empress summoned me"

Zheng Sanbao smiled faintly: “Your Majesty’s meaning is something like me, a lowly servant, could ever fathom.”

Although he held an extremely special position within the imperial court, he showed no arrogance whatsoever. When he spoke, his tone was calm and peaceful.

How did the Empress Dowager know about me

Zheng Sanbao smiled again and said: "Dr. Ye, there's no need to rush. You'll see the Empress Dowager soon, and then everything will be clear."

Ye Bufan saw that he couldn't ask anything out, so he stopped speaking. He pondered slowly in his heart, wondering why he always felt that this Empress Dowager seemed very familiar to him.

But he thought about it for a long time, after coming to the Kunlun Continent himself, he really hadn't seen this so-called Empress Dowager. He hadn't even met anyone related to the Imperial Court.

Zheng Sanbao had prepared the finest steeds, and soon everyone arrived before a grand palace.

The Tianfeng Empire is divided into outer city and inner city, and the imperial palace is naturally built in the inner city.

Just like the imperial courts I had seen before, the buildings here were magnificent and imposing, radiating an aura of endless authority.

Reaching the palace gates, Zheng Sanbao handed over his horses to the guards standing nearby. Everyone then walked towards the inside of the palace.

After about ten minutes, the group arrived at the Empress Dowager's sleeping quarters.

Zheng Sanbao led Ye Bufan inside, then turned and left, closing the door behind him as if he was not at all worried that he would pose a threat to the Empress's safety.

He stood in the room, alone except for a woman behind the beaded curtain opposite him.

Ye Bufan's heart was filled with confusion. What was going on Did the Empress Dowager truly trust him so much

Just then, the beaded curtain opened and a slender woman walked out from inside. She wore a phoenix crown and a brocade robe, her beauty radiating with an imperial freedom and majesty.

"Doctor Ye, so soon, we meet again."

Ye Bufan felt the voice was so familiar. He looked up and saw the woman standing before him - Hua Ziyue, the one who had been treated by Tianlang City's doctors.

At this moment, he was filled with shock. At the time, he only knew that Zhai Tianfang showed extraordinary respect to this woman, but he never expected her to be the Empress Dowager.

"Given the circumstances, I couldn't reveal my identity. I hope Dr. Ye understands."

In...

"I dare not."

Ye Bufan's understanding of etiquette stemmed from the palace dramas he had watched in his past life. Upon first encountering the real Empress Dowager, he was momentarily at a loss for words and didn't know how to address her.

Thankfully, Hua Ziyue didn't care about these things. She smiled faintly, showing not a hint of the Empress's majesty.

"Doctor Ye, did Mr. Zheng arrive in time Was the problem resolved"

"The problem has been solved, thank you for your help."

Ye Bufan immediately understood that Zheng Sanbao was sent by the Huazizhu sect, but this wasn't surprising.

As the current empress dowager, it stands to reason that she would have her own spies within the city guard and know about this.

"This is nothing, I still owe you a life in Tianlang City."

Hua Zi Yue smiled and said, "You and I are both cultivators, and you're also my savior. There's no need to be so polite. Just call me Senior Sister Ziyue."

"Then I'll thank you, Sister Zi Yue."

Ye Bufan said, bowing to Hua Ziyue. No matter what, he was still very grateful for today's events.

"I told you not to be so formal."

Hua Zi Yue reached out and took a gold badge, presenting it to him. "From now on, you can use this to enter and leave the palace freely. If you have anything, just come find me."

Ye Bufan took the gold medal and glanced at it. It was heavy in his hand, completely made of pure gold. The front read "Imperial Gift," and the back read "Empress Dowager."

He didn't hesitate and directly put the thing away.

"Zi Yuejie, I have something I don't understand. Why didn't you bring Zheng the Butler when you went to Tianlang City"

Indeed, he was very puzzled. When Hua Zi Yue went to Tianlang City before, the cultivation of her guards wasn't high.

If one were to bring along a master like Zheng Sanbao, those assassins would likely be slain before they even reached his side, posing no danger at all.

Moreover, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household was originally there to protect the Empress. There's nothing inappropriate about having him by her side.

"That's a complicated story. Have a seat, let me explain it to you slowly."

Hua Zi Yue made Ye Bu Fan sit down, a trace of sorrow flashed across her face, and she began to speak.

"Since the passing of the previous emperor, the Tianfeng Empire is now vastly different from what it once was…"

Ye Bufan certainly knew that some things were not suitable for him to know, but since the other party had already begun to speak, it was not good to interrupt. He could only listen quietly on the side.

...spoke for quite a while...

(To be continued, please turn the page)

In a quarter of an hour, Hua Zi Yue had told Flower about the situation and its general course.

One year ago, the emperor of the Tianfeng Empire suddenly passed away. The throne was hurriedly passed to the ten-year-old young emperor, and Hua Zi Yue served as the regent empress.

This will inevitably lead some people to harbor ambitions, vying for power and even attempting to usurp the throne.

Among the most powerful was the younger brother of the late emperor, Prince An Shun Song Jian.

This man has immense prestige throughout the Tianfeng Empire, and he is also the Grand Marshal of Armies, controlling military power. For someone like this to have rebellious intentions, it would be extremely difficult to control.

Thankfully, there is Zheng Sanbao, a stabilizing force within the imperial court. Furthermore, some people in the military remain loyal to the current emperor, which is why they haven't launched a coup yet.

But that was only superficial. Privately, Song Jian had been recruiting troops and buying horses, constantly expanding his power.

Hua Zi Yue was injured because she went to Taimiao Temple to burn incense for peace and encountered an assassin. The person behind this incident is most likely Song Jian.

She finally said, "The last time I went to Tianlang City to find you for treatment, I snuck there. To prevent the news from getting out, of course, I couldn't bring Zheng the steward along."

And he also has to guard the entire imperial city and the emperor's safety, so naturally he can't leave with me. Otherwise, I'm afraid when we return, there might already be a new dynasty in place.

"Oh!"

Ye Bufan nodded. It is said that there are many disputes within the palace walls, and now it seems to be true.

Conflicts of interest are not limited by time or space, they exist throughout history.

Then a new doubt arose in his mind: “Sister Zi Yue, I have another question, but I don’t know if it’s appropriate to ask”

Hua Zi Yue nodded and said, “Ask away!”

"Just…" Ye Bufan paused, adjusting his words. "Looking at your age, you're at most in your early twenties. How did you become the Empress Dowager"

If it were someone else, they definitely wouldn't have this problem and would think Hua Zi Yue had the secret to eternal youth.

But he was a doctor and had once felt his pulse, knowing his body better than anyone else.

Judging by her age, Hua Zi Yue is in her early twenties, at most not exceeding twenty-five. How could she possibly have a son as old as the little emperor

There was also something else he was too embarrassed to say, which was that Hua Zi Yue's Yin Qi was still present within her body. It was obvious that she was still a virgin, so how could she possibly have a son

(The End)That is the essence of the Spring Dragon..."Xuan Yuan Zhan Tian also knew he couldn't keep it hidden any longer. Having his favorite wine on his mind, he quickly told everything that happened."Finally...
