Empress Dowager Zhu was sent back to the palace. Seeing the person who sent her in carrying the decree she had just written, she could not help but walk back and forth in the room uneasily.
There were a few maids who were usually her usual servants standing around her in the dormitory, but these people were like wooden stakes at this time, and they had no intention of coming forward to relieve the Queen Mother's worries.
Empress Dowager Zhu glanced at them with an unkind expression, walked to one side angrily and sat down.
These slaves who cheated on her inside and outside her body must be killed intact when she escapes!
Luo Junyao lay on the beam of the main hall and looked down with some curiosity, and saw the Queen Mother Zhu sitting at the table, holding the handkerchief in her hand, lost in thought.
Empress Dowager Zhu was obviously in a very uneasy mood. She was lost in thought for a moment, but she couldn't help but stand up and want to walk out, but was blocked by someone, "Mother, please rest in the palace."
Empress Dowager Zhu said angrily: "How presumptuous! You slaves who betray the master! Get away!" The people who blocked her were not afraid. One of them raised his head and said with a smile: "So that the Empress Dowager will know.
Our master has never been the Queen Mother, so she cannot be called a slave who has betrayed her master. As for the servant who has truly betrayed her master, if the Queen Mother wants to see her, she can still see her when she comes back."
Empress Dowager Zhu gritted her teeth and said: "Don't even think about sowing discord!"
The chamberlain smiled and did not refute, as if to say: As long as the Queen Mother is happy.
Empress Dowager Zhu became more and more impatient. She avoided the people in front of her and wanted to continue walking out, but she was soon blocked again.
Just when Empress Dowager Zhu was about to get angry, she heard a thud from behind. Everyone looked back and saw that the two maids who were standing behind Empress Dowager Zhu suddenly fell down. Everyone in the dormitory was startled, but they had not yet fallen.
The person who went down quickly opened his mouth to call someone, but before his voice could come out, his vision went dark and he fell down.
Luo Junyao, who was lying on the beam, observed for a while, and made sure that the people below were unconscious. He secretly praised Qin Yaoer's medicinal effect in his heart, and then silently jumped down from the beam and landed lightly.
Got to the ground.
"Oh, it seems that all the experts from Luanyi Division have been sent to deal with Xie Yan." Xie Yan was definitely the master tonight, and he attracted most of the firepower alone.
He walked briskly to the window and listened carefully to what was going on outside. It seemed quiet outside the dormitory, but there was a commotion at the palace gate further outside. I wonder if Wei Changting did something.
Satisfied, Luo Junyao arranged the poison that Qin Yaoer gave her at the door of the bedroom, and then turned and returned to the palace. She raised her foot and kicked the person lying on the ground, then leaned over to open a small bottle and placed it under the breath of Queen Mother Zhu.
After a while, Queen Mother Zhu moved her eyebrows slightly and slowly opened her eyes.
When she saw Luo Junyao for the first time, Queen Mother Zhu suddenly opened her eyes wide and immediately wanted to open her mouth.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Luo Jun pulled the handkerchief from Queen Mother Zhu's hand and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Hmm..." Empress Dowager Zhu glared at Luo Junyao angrily and made a hmm sound in her mouth.
Luo Junyao tilted his head with a smile and said softly: "The Queen Mother, I am here to save you. If you shout and attract people, you will be in trouble."
Empress Dowager Zhu looked at Luo Junyao warily, her eyes filled with distrust.
Luo Junyao didn't care what she was thinking, and said softly: "I let you go, but don't scream again. If you call me again, I will have to make you speechless again, and nodded in agreement." Empress Dowager Zhu nodded.
Next, Luo Junyao pulled off the handkerchief stuffed in her mouth.
Queen Mother Zhu asked in a low voice: "Why are you here?"
Luo Junyao said: "I told you that I am here to save you."
"Are you so kind?" Empress Dowager Zhu didn't believe it. Luo Junyao smiled with crooked eyebrows, "Of course there are conditions."
"What conditions?" Queen Mother Zhu asked.
Luo Junyao said: "Now you write another edict and say that Xue Ya and Prince Ning are the ones who conspired against us, and they forced you to do everything just now."
Empress Dowager Zhu was moved in her heart, but she quickly held it back.
Thinking of Xue Ya's threat to her, Queen Mother Zhu was naturally filled with hatred. But she also knew that if this problem could not be solved, Xie Yan would not let her go even if she defeated Xue Ya.
And this Luo Junyao...why is she so lucky?! A trace of jealousy and hatred flashed in the eyes of Empress Dowager Zhu, "Take me out of here first, and I will testify for Zhifei."
Luo Junyao squatted on the ground, holding his chin and looking at the Queen Mother Zhu in front of him with some embarrassment.
Empress Dowager Zhu snorted softly and said: "How do I know if you will take my Yizhi and leave me here to be killed by others?"
Luo Junyao said: "But if you don't do it, I might kill you now."
"How dare you!" Queen Mother Zhu opened her eyes wide and couldn't help but want to shout loudly.
It was just that the shining blade of Youyue Thorn touched her neck, and the cold touch made her calm down instantly, and her voice became even lower.
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "If I kill you now and then sneak out, no one will suspect me, right?"
Empress Dowager Zhu's face turned pale. Luo Junyao played with the dagger in his hand and said: "Empress Dowager, do you think I don't know that you and Xue Ya have hooked up? Did Xue Ya promise you that after getting rid of A Yan, you will let her go?"
Help you take power?"
Empress Dowager Zhu gritted her teeth and said: "I didn't. You saw it just now. I was guarded by these people."
Luo Junyao said: "But you helped Xue Ya frame A Yan. Do you really think that after killing A Yan, Xue Ya will support A Cheng and let you be the queen mother who listens to politics behind the curtain?"
Queen Mother Zhu avoided her eyes and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."
Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "Isn't the Queen Mother curious about how Xue Ya controls so many imperial guards and armed guards?"
"What do you want to say?" Queen Mother Zhu asked.
Luo Junyao said: "Do you think...if A Yan is gone, who has a better chance of seizing the throne, A Cheng or Prince Ning?"
"You, you are talking nonsense!" Empress Dowager Zhu said tremblingly, "Xue Ya, he clearly..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "What is it? Do you know him? Do you know his origin?" Luo Junyao had no intention of nagging her anymore, "Hurry up, I can't write.
Write?"
Empress Dowager Zhu was silent, and Luo Junyao sighed, "It's really troublesome." He raised his hand and tapped Empress Dowager Zhu's acupuncture points. Luo Junyao stood up and rummaged around in the bedroom for a while, and soon found the golden seal of the Empress Dowager.
Luo Junyao picked up a blank imperial edict and was about to put a seal on it. Anyway, the empress dowager's imperial edict was not written by the queen mother herself. Just find someone to fill in the content later.
As for Queen Mother Zhu, since she is unwilling to cooperate, then don't mess with her while she's awake.
Before the gold seal could be sealed, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.
Luo Junyao said to himself that it was not good. Everyone knew that this person was lying on the floor. Naturally, it was not safe on the rafters.
Without any time to think, Luo Junyao casually put the Queen Mother's golden seal into his sleeve pocket, and then ducked behind the door. At the same time, he did not forget to give another portion of the medicine just now to Queen Mother Zhu. Although Queen Mother Zhu was unwilling to do so, she could not help others.
My willpower was really unable to withstand the power of the medicine, so I had to slowly close my eyes.
The person who pushed the door open was a thin man in black. Just as he opened his mouth to say something, he saw someone lying on the ground. The next moment, a cold wind blew from behind. The man was also agile and quickly turned to the side.
She avoided it for the first time. Unfortunately, her opponent was faster than him, and his limbs were numb for some reason, but in an instant, a knife slashed through his abdomen.
The next moment, another palm slapped his chest hard. The man took a few steps back in embarrassment, almost tripping over the person who fell on the ground.
Although he managed to stabilize himself by relying on his own strength, he was still kicked to the ground.
Luo Junyao was a little surprised to find that there was no one else outside the door. It was obvious that this person came in alone. Although he was surprised, he reacted very quickly and closed the door again, and then moved closer to the person.
"Princess Regent!" The man said through gritted teeth, covering the scar on his abdomen, "Did you poison me?!" Not only was he injured, but his limbs began to feel numb.
Facing a completely unfamiliar face, Luo Junyao asked: "Who are you?"
The man stared at him coldly and said nothing.
Luo Junyao was not polite, and stabbed the Youyue Thorn in his hand through the wound in his abdomen again, and asked Youyou, "Who are you?"
The man didn't want to answer, but his expression began to change.
Because he felt that the knife in Luo Junyao's hand was slowly moving from the left to the right along his abdomen. The feeling of his abdomen being forcibly cut open by a knife was so clear, and the blood flowed faster than before.
I just don’t know if it was an accident or something Luo Junyao did intentionally. The dagger did not hurt his internal organs, but as long as Luo Junyao used a little more strength...
The pain made the man's eyes bloodshot and his lips white.
"I...am, the deputy commander of the secret guards of Prince Ning's Mansion." The man finally couldn't help himself and said in a low voice.
Luo Junyao narrowed his eyes slightly, "What do you want to do when you come here alone at this time?"
The man said: "By the order of the prince...kill the Empress Dowager Zhu."
"Then?" Luo Junyao asked.
"Put the blame on the regent." The man gritted his teeth and whispered.
Luo Junyao didn't ask how to frame the blame. If he really wanted to frame someone, there would naturally be many ways.
"What is the relationship between Prince Ning and Xue Ya?" Luo Junyao suddenly asked, changing the topic.
The man was startled, shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"Don't know?" Luo Junyao raised his eyebrows, obviously not satisfied with the answer.
The man quickly said: "I really don't know, I'm just a deputy commander!"
Luo Junyao looked at the seriously injured and weak man in front of him, seeming to be deciding whether he should believe him or not.
Ants are greedy for life, let alone humans.
Moreover, the petite-looking regent princess in front of her is obviously not someone who wants to give pleasure. With the way she is torturing him and the ordinary look on her face, the man is a little suspicious that His Highness Prince Ning thinks this little princess is nothing to worry about.
It's not that I'm blind.
Cold sweat broke out on the man's forehead, and he said weakly: "I have indeed never seen the prince contact Mr. Xueya, but...the prince has a close personal relationship with the deputy commander of the South Camp of the Wuwei Army, and...there are also two people from the Royal Forest Army.
The commanders of the National People's Congress all have a good relationship with the prince. I heard that the former commander and the prince were close friends for eight years in private, and the current commander... is the confidant and son-in-law of the predecessor. Also, there is the secret guard... the secret guard commander of Prince Ning's Mansion, originally
They came from the royal secret guard. Ever since Marquis Xiaoyuan disappeared and the late emperor passed away, the royal secret guard has gradually been weakened, and many people have secretly managed to escape..."
"They joined Prince Ning's command?"
The man nodded with difficulty.
"What's going on outside now?" Luo Junyao asked.
The man said: "There is some chaos outside. Suddenly, the Xuanjia Army broke into the palace. Everyone was sent to deal with the Xuanjia Army. The prince and Young Master Xueya are also outside. The commander ordered me... to come in while there is chaos outside.
Kill the Queen Mother."
Luo Junyao took out the Youyue Thorn and threw a bottle of medicine to the man.
The man hurriedly applied medicine to himself. He didn't care about many things. He just checked to make sure it was medicine for a wound, poured the medicine directly onto the wound, and then pulled a clean cloth from one side and wrapped it up in a rough way.
It wasn't until the wound was bandaged that the man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Wang..."
Before he finished speaking, Luo Junyao reached out and pinched his chin with his hand, and a pill was stuffed into his mouth.
The man secretly felt that something was not good, but the injury was too severe and he could not struggle at all, so he could only be forced by Luo Junyao to swallow the pills.
Luo Junyao was not afraid that he would spit it out again, so he let go of his hand casually.
Qin Yao'er said that this medicine dissolves very quickly and it is a delusion to induce vomiting.
"Princess, you..."
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "Now, do you know what to do?"
The man nodded stiffly and said, "I will never tell anyone that the princess is here."
Luo Junyao said: "When I go out to recover my life, I will say that Queen Mother Zhu is dead."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The man nodded.
"That's good." Luo Junyao said with a smile: "If you can survive tonight, go to the Regent's Mansion to get the antidote. By the way, if you don't take the antidote within two days, you will definitely regret that I didn't give it to you directly.
Killed. Since you are the secret guard of Prince Ning's house, you should know that there is a Miss Qin in our house, right? If you think you can find someone to detoxify her, you can also try."
The man's face became even more ugly. Apparently he had also heard of Qin Yao'er's reputation.
"I see."
Seeing the man in black staggering out, Luo Junyao sighed, stepped forward and lifted up Empress Dowager Zhu from the ground.
She is petite, so even a martial arts practitioner would still find it difficult to carry the Queen Mother Zhu.
After scanning the entire palace, Luo Junyao walked to the edge of the gorgeous phoenix bed, grabbed the gems embedded in the carved phoenix eyes under the bed, twisted it a few times, and then pressed it hard.
After a soft sound, a small hole was silently revealed on the wall behind the bed. There were steps leading down to the entrance of the hole. Luo Junyao grabbed Queen Mother Zhu and walked towards the entrance of the hole. After Luo Junyao and the two entered, the hole beside the wall
Several cabinets slowly moved back to their original positions, and one of the cabinets was right at the entrance of the cave, as if nothing had happened here.
Luo Junyao dragged Empress Dowager Zhu with some difficulty into the tunnel, which was not very spacious. The tunnel was very simple and had no carvings or decorations. There was already a thick layer of dust on the ground, and it was obvious that no one had been there for many years.
Gone.
Luo Junyao walked forward along the tunnel. The surroundings were quiet, and the noise in the palace on the ground could not reach here at all.
Queen Mother Zhu was dragged by her, and the hem of her clothes was stained with dust. Luo Junyao didn't care. She didn't have the strength to carry someone for such a long distance.
After walking for a while, I finally saw a glimmer of light.
Luo Junyao's eyes lit up, he quickly quickened his pace and soon reached the exit.
When he got out of the exit and saw the people waiting there, Luo Junyao said without any surprise, "Mr. Huang."
The person waiting at the entrance of the cave was none other than the Empress Dowager's confidant, Eunuch Huang.
Eunuch Huang was a little surprised to see the Queen Mother looking so embarrassed, but he still stepped forward and respectfully held his hands in his hands and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Princess."
Luo Jun waved his hands and said, "It doesn't matter. The Queen Mother is just unconscious. It's okay. You don't have to worry."
Eunuch Huang smiled. He was obviously not worried about Queen Mother Zhu.
"If it weren't for the fact that the entrance to the tunnel can only be opened from the Queen Mother's Palace, I wouldn't dare bother the princess with this trip," the palace said.
Luo Jun understood. Before Empress Dowager Zhu lived in this palace, the Empress Dowager had also lived there. But she didn't know. Did Empress Dowager Zhu know that there was a secret passage leading to the outside world in her bedroom?
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "I originally wanted to go to the Queen Mother's Palace, but Huang Gong saved me the trouble of going out. What is this place?"
Huang Gonggong said: "This is the secret room in the palace of the Queen Mother. The princess can go out directly from here. The prince is also outside at this time. However... please don't mention this matter to outsiders, including the prince."
Luo Jun was startled and looked at Eunuch Huang with some surprise.
Eunuch Huang did not explain, but just smiled and said: "Princess, just pretend that this incident has not happened. The Queen Mother will handle the rest."
Luo Jun said: "Has the Empress Dowager already known what happened tonight?"
Eunuch Huang sighed and said, "How could you not know about such a huge movement?"
Luo Junyao nodded and said, "I understand."
Eunuch Huang thanked you again and said, "Princess, please go out."
Luo Junyao looked back at the unconscious Queen Mother Zhu, and for some reason she had a premonition.
Maybe this is the last time she will see her in her life.
