Zhou Hao rushed over, but Shui Yun immediately stepped forward to block him.
Zhou Hao sneered in his heart, Shui Yun's cultivation level was too low, Zhou Hao's later king's cultivation level was more than enough to deal with Shui Yun.
Yuyao knew that Shuiyun was no match for Zhou Hao. She was worried that Long Chen would be killed, so she had no choice but to step forward to stop him.
The three people took action at the same time, and the surrounding imperial troops drew their swords, preparing to surround and kill Long Chen and the others.
At the critical moment, Long Chen took a step back and accurately inserted a golden needle into Zhou Haotan's central point.
Zhou Hao's body went limp and he fell limply to the ground.
"Great Commander!"
The Imperial Guards surrounded them and immediately helped Zhou Hao and Long Chen to their feet.
"How dare you attack the commander-in-chief!"
The sword in the forbidden army's hand pointed at Long Chen and shouted angrily.
Long Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, just pull out the needle in his heart and it will be fine."
The Imperial Guard immediately pulled out a slender golden needle. Zhou Hao coughed and tried to get up, but found that his limbs were weak.
"you"
Zhou Hao saw that Long Chen was weak. Long Chen smiled and said: "The second prince has a golden needle under his arm. If you pull out the golden needle, nothing will happen."
After saying that, Long Chen turned around and wanted to leave, but the imperial army surrounded him.
Yuyao and Shuiyun were both stunned. They didn't expect that Long Chen was so powerful and could subdue Zhou Hao with just a golden needle.
Moreover, after hearing the meaning of these words, Shi Yuncheng was also subdued.
"The queen's token is here. If you want to rebel, you can do it!"
Long Chen's golden needles were powerful, and Yu Yao gained the confidence to raise her token and walk out. The Imperial Army could only look at her angrily, but in the end no one dared to take action.
I have already said that taking action would be a rebellion, and they do not have the courage.
Zhou Hao watched Long Chen leave eagerly.
After a while, Zhou Hao recovered and returned to the room with the help of soldiers. Shi Yuncheng was still twitching and screaming.
"Quickly, help His Highness up."
Several Imperial Guards helped Shi Yuncheng up, and Zhou Hao found a gold needle under his arm.
After pulling out the golden needle, Shi Yuncheng's body immediately healed and the pain disappeared.
"You dog slave, how dare you plot against this prince!"
Shi Yuncheng was furious and shouted: "Where are the people! Where are the people!"
Zhou Hao said helplessly: "I was snatched away by Yuyao!"
Shi Yuncheng was unwilling to give in and said angrily: "Chase, bring me back!"
Zhou Hao said helplessly: "Your Highness, I'm afraid you have returned to the Central Palace by now."
Once in the Queen's Palace, no one dared to act wild.
Regardless of whether the queen is dying or not, she is not dead yet, she is the queen.
Anyone who dares to storm the Queen's Palace is committing rebellion.
Snap!
Shi Yuncheng slapped Zhou Hao on the face and cursed: "Trash! You can't even treat a little imperial doctor, so what's the use of you!"
Zhou Hao was beaten in public and lost all face. He was very angry and clenched his fists and said nothing.
Shi Yuncheng angrily left the Forbidden Army Yamen and took his people back to the palace.
Long Chen and the others returned to the middle palace and arrived at the dormitory. Shuiyun was waiting outside, and Yuyao took Long Chen into the dormitory.
"Empress."
Hearing the sound, the queen immediately came out and asked: "What did he ask? What did you say?"
The queen didn't care about Long Chen's safety, she just wanted to know if Long Chen had leaked anything.
Long Chen said: "The second prince asked the queen if she was about to die, what kind of poison she was poisoned with, who poisoned her, and whether Liu Yubi belonged to Concubine Li."
"Wei Chen didn't know anything about it and didn't say anything."
The queen turned to look at Yuyao, who replied: "Judging from Zhou Hao's reaction, Liu Feng probably didn't say anything."
The queen breathed a sigh of relief as the matter was not leaked, and sat down slowly.
"Tell me what's going on."
Long Chen replied: "Concubine Li asked Wei Chen to go to her palace tonight. Wei Chen doesn't dare to make any decisions, so he came here to ask for instructions from the empress."
"When I was halfway there, I was forcefully taken away by the second prince."
"Wei Chen said that the empress is waiting in the palace, and Wei Chen cannot go with the second prince, but the second prince does not take the empress seriously at all."
The queen's face was grim, and her dissatisfaction with Shi Yuncheng was written on her face.
Yuyao said: "Your Majesty, just now I took the token to the Imperial Guards' Yamen to ask for someone, but the Imperial Guards guarding the gate dared to stop me and made rude remarks."
In the harem, Yuyao was considered a respectable person, and what happened today made her very unhappy.
The queen was angry and asked coldly: "The second prince asked me if I am about to die?"
Long Chen bowed: "Yes, the second prince said that there are rumors that the empress is terminally ill and there is no way to save her. I asked the minister if it is true."
The queen sneered and said: "Okay, I usually value him so much, but he actually expects me to die."
Long Chen listened without speaking.
You shouldn't say anything else at this time, it's best to let the queen recover her anger on her own.
The queen asked: "He also said that Liu Yubi belongs to Concubine Li?"
Long Chen pretended to be slightly frightened and replied: "Yes, the second prince asked me if Liu Yubi was a subordinate of the noble concubine, and if it was the noble concubine Li who ordered him to poison."
Long Chen pretended to be scared because Liu Yubi was Long Chen's nominal master, and he wanted to pretend to clear away any suspicion.
The queen nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I haven't thought of it yet."
The queen began to think that Concubine Li sent Xiao Lizi to sneak into the palace to defile herself, and then specially asked Liu Yubi to diagnose and treat her, deliberately delaying the news of pregnancy.
When her belly gets bigger and she can no longer hide it, Concubine Li can take the opportunity to attack and overthrow herself.
This all sounds reasonable.
The queen looked at Long Chen and asked, "Is Liu Yubi a subordinate of Concubine Li?"
Long Chen immediately replied: "Your Majesty, it is clear that the minister is just the plaything of the old thief and does not know these secret things."
The queen looked at Long Chen suspiciously, and after a long time she nodded slowly and said, "Concubine Li wants you to go to her palace, probably because she wants to ask about my palace. How do you plan to answer?"
Long Chen thought for a long time before replying: "Wei Chen will say that the empress is terminally ill and there is no cure."
Yuyao's face suddenly changed and she yelled angrily: "You bastard! How dare you curse the queen!"
The queen raised her hand slightly and said coldly: "Continue."
Long Chen said: "This time the queen is ill, and the true colors of the concubines who want to seize the throne in the harem are revealed."
"Concubine Li wants to know the queen's physical condition and also wants to seize the opportunity to seize the throne."
"In that case, let's follow the trend and tell Concubine Li that the Queen is no longer able to do anything, so we should take action earlier."
"When the signs of Concubine Li's rebellion are exposed, the empress can eradicate her with the force of thunder."
The queen nodded slightly and said: "Good strategy."
Yuyao looked at Long Chen in surprise, she didn't expect Long Chen to have such a plan.
Long Chen added: "However, the key to this plan is that the queen must control the imperial army, otherwise she will be killed."
"Concubine Li's brother Li Guangliang is the governor of Jingzhao. He has spies and spies in his hands, and his power cannot be underestimated."
"In addition, Shi Yuncheng has evil intentions. If they collude, the empress will be in great danger."
The queen felt a creepy feeling after hearing this.
The Forbidden Army and the Jingzhao Mansion are both in the hands of others. She is called the mother of a country, but in fact she is a lamb to be slaughtered.
"What strategies do you have to enable me to seize the imperial army?"
Long Chen replied: "Wei Chen was caught in the imperial army's yamen today, and it was discovered that the commander Zhou Hao and the deputy commander seemed to be at odds with each other."
"Zhou Hao is attached to the second prince, and the empress can recruit the deputy commander."
"The outside world just says that the empress is terminally ill, so she is committing evil and causing trouble."
"As long as the empress summons the deputy commander and lets him know that the empress is in good health and has a prosperous life, the empress is the master of the harem, and the deputy commander will definitely surrender."
"When the time comes, kill Zhou Hao, strengthen the deputy commander, and the imperial army will be in the hands of the empress. Finally, we can use the power of thunder to eradicate Concubine Li and Concubine Shu."
