Martial Boss Chapter 547

Night.

In the Phoenix Cloud Palace, a pair of nominal mother and son, actual enemies, met again.

“Empress Dowager, it is you who has lost.” Feng Jiuyu looked indifferently at the noble woman sitting at the end of the table and said.

“It is I who have lost, lost in underestimating you.” The Empress Dowager laughed miserably.

She had actually been underestimating this once concubine son, whether it was during the fight for the throne or this coup d’état. She had always thought that she was winning, but it turned out that the other side had already set everything up, just waiting for you to fall into the trap.

“So, are you here to kill me?”

To the Empress Dowager’s surprise, Feng Jiuyu actually shook his head and said, “I promised Feng Qiuwu that I would spare your life.”

Since he had promised others, he would do it, and Feng Qiwu knew what he was doing, so he was given a reward for his good sense over there.

“Is that so? Qiuwu he is actually forgiven you ——”

Knowing a son is like a mother, as soon as she saw Feng Jiuyu like this, the empress dowager knew that Feng Qiwu should have met with this now emperor’s majesty in private, and that Feng Qiwu had forgiven Feng Jiuyu and treated him as a brother.

“How could he? How dare he?!” The dignified Empress Dowager finally broke, her face twisted as if she were an evil ghost, and the look she gave Feng Jiuyu was one of utter hatred.

“How could he just let go of the hatred of killing your brother and taking your wife so easily? How could he forgive you just like that?” The Empress Dowager roared shrilly.

The Empress Dowager did not care about the deaths of the other princes, but the death of the Grand Prince was something the Empress Dowager could not care less about.

To this day, the Empress Dowager had almost understood that Feng Chaonan was only Feng Jiuyu’s pawn, and that Feng Guangyu had died at the hands of Feng Jiuyu rather than at the hands of Feng Chaonan.

How could the Empress Dowager not be angry and mad that Feng Qiwu had let such a tragic death of a close relative go unpunished?

“Perhaps he is destined to be a man who can forgive others!”

Qing Yu suddenly appeared behind the Empress Dowager and waved her dust, dispersing the true qi that had gathered in her body.

“The Empress Dowager is also ruthless enough, preferring death to letting her enemies get the better of her. Just haven’t you thought that even if Feng Qiwu hates Feng Jiu, he may not be able to fight him?” Qing Yu asked with a light smile.

Just now, the Empress Dowager pretended to roar in anger, but in reality, she was going to use her power to cut her own meridians and kill herself. In this way, the black pot that killed the Empress Dowager would be thrown on Feng Jiuyu’s head, and no one would be able to pick it off.

It was late at night, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the Phoenix Cloud Palace had retired. If the Empress Dowager died at this time, Feng Jiuyu, who was in the same room as the Empress Dowager, would not be able to get away with it.

Even if Feng Jiuyu is the most respected of the nine to five and the Empress Dowager is wearing a sin, there will be no action to pay for her death, but the aftermath is not easy to handle.

Even if it was announced to the public that the Empress Dowager had died of illness, this kind of thing could be concealed from the general public, but not from Feng Qiwu.

If Feng Qiwu knew about it, then the outcome would go without saying.

The Empress Dowager is using her own life to make Feng Jiuyu and Feng Qiuwu complete enemies in life and death.

Using her own death as a bargaining chip, I must say that the Empress Dowager was ruthless. With this move alone, it could be said that she was a woman of great courage.

“Who are you? How dare you call him Feng Jiu?”

Naturally, the Empress Dowager could not possibly not know who the white-haired Daoist behind her was? It was the demon daoist Qing Yu, who was famous throughout Northern Zhou. This reputation was still spread by the Empress Dowager’s order.

What she really wanted to know was why this white-haired Daoist dared to ignore the etiquette of ruler and subject and speak Feng Jiuwu’s name outright. Her keen intuition told her that this person’s true identity was by no means simple.

“Who I am is none of your business. Rather, can you tell me how you came into contact with Xinxin Temple, Guangwen Temple and Yunkai Temple? Did they seek you out, or did you seek them out? Was this a request from the three temples themselves, or from the entire Zen sect?” Qing Yu asked.

Although he had heard Zen Master Baikong’s answer before, Qing Yu was still unsure and wanted to confirm it again.

The Zen Sect had now put down roots in Northern Zhou, and there was a Tong Shen realm powerhouse who had been sitting in Northern Zhou. If they really wanted to rebel against Feng Jiuyu, they could really make Feng Jiuyu anxious.

The Empress Dowager was also clear about this, so she chose to keep her mouth shut and not answer.

However, in front of Qing Yu, a closed mouth would not be useful. Although the Empress Dowager knew martial arts, her realm was still too far from Qing Yu’s. Trying to conceal the result in front of Qing Yu with such a realm was undoubtedly a useless exercise.

“Is that so? They were the ones who approached you, but in words, their spearheads were always on me?” Qing Yu casually said what was on the Empress Dowager’s mind.

“You ——” The Empress Dowager’s face showed all the shock.

This bizarre method of mind reading was truly frightening. The Empress Dowager felt as if she had no secrets at all after the scrutiny of the pair of eyes behind her. This feeling of having nothing to hide from her thoughts made the Empress Dowager feel shame and panic from the bottom of her heart.

“Don’t be complacent, sooner or later you will have to pay for what you have done?” The Empress Dowager sneered.

“Are you thinking about the Bracket Pa*s?”

The softly spoken words caused the Empress Dowager’s body to tremble.

He had seen through her again, could he really see through people’s minds?

Qing Yu’s words continued, “Your brother, General Yi Qianshan, is very ruthless. Before he left, he wrote a letter about his secret departure from Bracket Cang Pa*s and gave it to his beloved, instructing him that if he could not return within three days, he would send that letter secretly to Zuo Xian Wang of the Golden Wolf Khanate. Even if he dies, he will not let Northern Zhou have a good time. Your brother’s nature is just like yours.”

“The Empress Dowager sneered, “Since you know about this, you should be prepared to deal with the Golden Wolf Khanate’s invasion. Even though the Golden Wolf Khan King and Meng Shanhe have a pact, promising not to invade Northern Zhou for ten years, this pact is not without room for manoeuvre.”

There are countless tribes in the northern gra*slands, and the Golden Wolf Khanate is actually a tribal alliance. The Golden Wolf Khan King made a pact with Meng Shanhe in the name of the Khan Court, then as long as the invading tribes did not belong to the Golden Wolf Khan Court, it was fine.

And this matter is easy for the Khan King.

If he expelled a tribe from the Golden Wolf Khanate today, he could just let him join again tomorrow.

Apart from those iconic Tong Shen realm, it was difficult for Meng Shanhe to take care of how the rest of the manpower would operate.

“It’s a pity ——,” Qing Yu suddenly sighed.

“It’s a pity that Yi Qianshan had just left Bracket Pa*s on the first foot and his beloved belly died on the second. As for the letter ——”

Qing Yu took out an unmarked letter from his sleeve, “Look, is it this one?”

“You ——” The Empress Dowager suddenly deflated and sat down in dismay.

Everything had been calculated by the enemy, was it any wonder they were losing? How could they win a battle like this when their opponents knew every move their side made and targeted them?

The Empress Dowager looked scornfully at Qing Yu, her instincts told her that all this had been set up by his hand.
