Lou Jinhuan felt a trace of fear in her daze. She stared blankly at Yan Ruqing's figure disappearing from the back window, feeling lost.
[Congratulations to the host, the favorability of the target is increased by ten. The current total favorability is seventy. Victory is right in front of you~]
001 was spinning excitedly in her mind.
Lou Jinhuan pursed her lips, lowered her eyes and looked at her palms. After a long silence, she suddenly asked: [001, what is the love between men and women? 】
001:【Don’t the host know?】
He scratched his head in confusion, "Didn't you still speak succinctly before?"
Lou Jinhuan was suspiciously silent.
[Silly system, she is fooling you!]
[Hahahahahaha, poor system, I thought I was bound to a love expert, but I didn’t know that the other person was an innocent little white flower]
[Correct the previous one, it’s the innocent overlord flower! 】
001 also recovered from the silence. He asked in disbelief: [Host, have you never had any emotional experience before? 】
Lou Jinhuan asked back: "Do you think I look like that?"
001:【……】
Lou Jinhuan: [……]
Silence doubles, doubting life.
However, there was not much time for them to discuss this fatal issue. There was a burst of rapid and orderly footsteps in the court. Lou Jinhuan calmed down his emotions and walked out from behind the screen as if nothing had happened.
Du Ruo looked at her, nodded, opened the door and went out, "The Queen Mother is taking a bath, what's the matter?"
Lou Jinhuan grabbed his coat and quickly put it on, then listened with his ears straightened up.
"I am under the command of Your Majesty to protect the Queen Mother. There was turmoil in southern Xinjiang. Ministers went to the palace overnight to discuss countermeasures. People came and went. Your Majesty was worried that someone with evil intentions would sneak in, so he ordered the Jinyi Guards and the Royal Forest Army to strengthen the guards in the palace.
,in case."
Lou Jinhuan narrowed his eyes, wondering if Yan Ruqing had gone out?
Is the sudden increase in defense unintentional or intentional?
Her eyes flashed slightly, she picked up a hairpin and tied up her hair, and walked out.
"When the Ai family finds out, they will do as Your Majesty says."
Lou Jinhuan looked down at the people at the foot of the steps. They were wearing the clothes of the Royal Forest Army.
The leading young general bowed his hands toward Lou Jinhuan and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your understanding."
As soon as he raised his hand, the imperial guards armed with swords immediately dispersed and surrounded the entire palace.
Lou Jinhuan looked at him deeply and turned back.
Du Ruo followed behind and closed the door, asking in a low voice: "The Queen Mother, what do you mean by this? The people from southern Xinjiang have not broken into the palace, so why are so many people looking at you?"
Lou Jinhuan pulled his lips and sat down at the table, "Looking at me? He is just looking at me."
Du Ruo was confused: "Huh?"
"Yan Ruqing is leaving soon. I am the only one in charge of this palace. Since the little emperor wants to seize power, why would he let this opportunity go and let me go?"
Du Ruo was stunned: "So he wants to——"
She held the knife and wiped it on her neck.
Lou Jinhuan shook his head: "He doesn't dare. After all, behind me are the Duke of Fuguo, General Dingbian, and a hundred thousand troops from Northern Xinjiang. If he attacks me, he will be criticized by everyone in the world.
The most they can do is put me under house arrest."
"It just so happened that my brother returned to the capital, I was under house arrest, and my brother was restricted in the capital. The Northern Xinjiang army did not dare to act rashly, and the young emperor could concentrate on dealing with Yan Ruqing."
"this……"
Du Ruo was shocked, "Isn't the prince in danger?"
Lou Jinhuan picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Don't worry, we still don't know who is the swordsman and who is the fish."
…
On this night, the imperial city was brightly lit, the imperial army and the imperial guards were in full array, and everyone coming and going was subject to strict interrogation.
Yan Ruqing had just left the palace with her front legs, then walked directly around to the main entrance with her back legs and walked in with great swagger.
The imperial study room was already noisy, and the little emperor was sitting on the main seat with a heavy look in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, the Regent wishes to see you." Lu Bai came in to announce, and the quarrel stopped abruptly.
The ministers looked at each other with somewhat subtle expressions.
The little emperor narrowed his eyes and nodded: "Let him come in."
The next moment, Yan Ruqing came quickly. The tall figure cast a shadow as soon as he came over, and the entire imperial study seemed to darken.
The little emperor raised his eyes to look at him, and the regent cupped his hands and said, "I have met your majesty."
The regent didn't have to pay a courtesy when he saw the emperor. Originally, the young emperor didn't think it was a big deal, but during this time, he became more and more displeased with Yan Ruqing.
"Uncle, no gift."
The little emperor raised his hand in vain, "I think the emperor's uncle has also received the news."
The other ministers immediately looked at Yan Ruqing with burning eyes.
Yan Ruqing straightened up and said calmly: "Yes, as the commander-in-chief of the border border, if something happens in southern Xinjiang, of course I will send someone to notify you as soon as possible."
"Oh, then I wonder how the regent plans to deal with it? You are still injured now, so you may not be able to go to the battlefield, right? If the general is gone, who will take charge?"
General Liu, who had not been favored last time, stood up again, like a dog smelling the smell of meat.
Yan Ruqing glanced at him. Although her face was still a little sickly white, her expression was as proud as ever. He stood up with his hands behind his back and said, "You do it."
General Liu: "?"
"What can I do?" he retorted with a glare.
Yan Ruqing raised her eyebrows: "Aren't you a general? You don't know how to lead troops in battle?"
General Liu: "Of course I will!"
"Then why don't you come?"
"I……"
General Liu was speechless when asked. Several ministers behind him coughed, and the prime minister came out and said in a strange tone: "The border war is about to begin. The regent still has the leisure to quarrel with the ministers. It seems that he doesn't care too much."
Yan Ruqing turned around and looked at him, "So, I should find a rope to hang myself now?"
He sneered: "Don't forget who asked me to return to the capital. If I were sitting on the border, how could we be in the current situation?"
It was the late Emperor who asked him to come back. Who among them would dare to say that he was not the late Emperor?
The imperial study fell into an awkward silence.
The little emperor coughed lightly, breaking the scene, and said warmly: "Uncle Emperor is injured, please give me a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yan Ruqing sat down on the chair unceremoniously, and the group of ministers began to quarrel over the selection of generals again. He listened without saying a word, but not long after, the topic turned to him again.
"In my opinion, the commander-in-chief of the border area must be appointed by the regent. After all, he has rich experience and prestige. It is most suitable for him to lead the army."
Someone suggested, but someone immediately objected, "He has not been cleared of the suspicion of colluding with southern Xinjiang. How can you trust him with the lives of 200,000 soldiers in the border area and the people of the three cities? If anything happens, who can afford it?"
"
"Then let him issue a military order. If he can't repel Southern Xinjiang, come and see him!"
As soon as this was said, it became quiet again.
Yan Ruqing smiled suddenly, saying so much was just to prepare for this sentence, right?
Sure enough, the next moment all the ministers looked at the little emperor, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
