"I don't know if it is safe, but he is the only one who can use it."
If someone else could be sent to sneak into Concubine Li's palace, the queen would naturally choose someone else, but now only Long Chen is available.
Long Chen is very clear about the ins and outs of the matter, and Long Chen is also the most suitable.
Another point is what Yu Yao said, Long Chen didn't seem to have any respect for the people in the palace.
Only such people dare to sneak into the palace of a noble concubine and cause trouble.
Most people simply don't have the courage, and even if the queen coerces and induces them, they would not dare to take on such a task.
Long Chen was different. Just after some coercion and inducement, Long Chen agreed.
"My Lady, we must prevent this boy from betraying us. If he is incited by Concubine Li to rebel, we will suffer the consequences."
Yuyao felt that Long Chen was difficult to control, or she felt that she couldn't control Long Chen at all.
If Long Chen gets benefits from Concubine Li and turns against Queen Lu, it will be over.
Long Chen is the key person who knows the whole thing.
The queen thought deeply: "I want to give him some sweetness, but after much thought, I can't think of anything to give him."
If you are a man, you can buy him with wealth, sex, and power.
But Long Chen was a eunuch, and the queen couldn't think of any way to bribe him.
Just now, when he said that Long Chen would be rich for three generations, Long Chen directly said, "I am a eunuch," which the Queen herself found ridiculous.
Yuyao thought for a while, but couldn't think of any good solution.
"Empress!"
Outside the door, a palace maid shouted loudly.
The two immediately stopped talking. Yuyao walked out and saw a palace maid standing at the door.
"whats the matter?"
Yuyao's face was cold and stern, and her tone was dissatisfied.
The palace maid was so frightened that she immediately bowed her head and replied: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent letters and gifts."
When she heard that Shi Haoran had brought something, Yuyao's face became better and she said, "Bring it in!"
The palace maid immediately turned around and carried two boxes in with several other people, with Yu Yao directing from the front.
"Put it in the middle."
The box was placed in the middle, and the palace maid handed another letter to Yuyao, who turned around and presented it to the queen.
The palace maid exited the door and Yuyao closed the door.
The queen opened the letter and looked at it both happily and worriedly.
After reading the letter carefully, the queen carefully put it away.
"Long Chengen occupied the Panhe Palace and threatened to spend the summer in Panhe. The king was worried that Long Chengen would launch a sneak attack in the name of summer vacation, so he sent the prince to Wucheng."
Yuyao said: "Wucheng is easy to defend but difficult to attack. His Royal Highness should be safe."
The queen nodded slightly: "Witch City is built on the mountain. There is only one road through which the prince can pass. You only need to stick to it."
"There is enough water in the city, so we are not afraid of being besieged."
Yangcheng was originally besieged due to lack of water, and the queen knew this very well.
"Look what Wang'er gave me."
Yuyao immediately opened the box, and the queen stood up, picked up a necklace, and said with a smile: "Wang'er knows that I like rubies, so I specially sent one here."
Yuyao immediately praised: "His Royal Highness has a filial heart."
While the queen happily looked at the gifts sent by Shi Haoran, Long Chen was brewing medicine in the backyard.
The medicine is not boiled in the palace, but in a specialized pharmacy in the backyard.
A palace maid led the way, Long Chen walked in the middle, and several palace maids behind him carried medicinal materials.
Along the way, palace maids kept peeking, not only at Long Chen, but also at the medicinal materials in the basket.
When she reached a corridor, the palace maid suddenly stopped and bowed respectfully to a Buddhist temple in front of her.
"Still not kneeling down!"
Seeing that Long Chen only refused to kneel down, the palace maid immediately scolded him in a low voice.
Long Chen ignored the palace maid and looked towards the Buddhist hall.
This Buddhist hall is not big, but it is very exquisitely done. It should be a place where concubines in the palace worship Buddha.
But the strange thing is that what is enshrined in the temple is not the Refuge Buddha, but a wooden statue of a military commander wearing armor and a full beard.
The general held a wooden sword in his hand. This wooden sword was very long, almost three meters long, and had blood-red wooden strips.
"Why don't you kneel down when you see Taizu!"
The palace maid scolded Long Chen in a low voice again and asked Long Chen to kneel down.
"Taizu?"
When Long Chen looked carefully, he found that this wooden statue did look a bit like Shi Le. No, it should be said that Shi Le looked a bit like this wooden statue.
This is not a Buddhist temple, but an ancestral hall to worship ancestors.
Such a small ancestral hall is too stingy. It is still the ancestor of Xixia.
No matter what the palace maid said, Long Chen refused to kneel down. The palace maid had no choice but to get up and pull Long Chen towards the pharmacy.
"How dare you not kneel down when you see Taizu's sacred elephant? You will be beheaded!"
The palace maid reprimanded in horror, and several palace maids behind her also looked frightened.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Sister, don't scare me. If I behead you, you won't be able to run away."
The palace maid was stunned and speechless...
Indeed, anyone who disrespects the Taizu of Xixia will be beheaded.
Therefore, the best option is to say nothing to anyone.
After entering the pharmacy, the maid immediately took the key and opened a room. This was the pharmacy exclusively for the queen.
Seeing Long Chen's arrival, the other palace maids who prepared the medicine all retreated, and at the same time they all quietly looked this way.
Long Chen didn't bother to pay attention, and started lighting the fire, pouring water, and decoction step by step...
"Sister, was that the Taizu of Xixia just now?"
Long Chen asked in a low voice, but the palace maid said nothing.
They must have said nothing because they were afraid.
"Sister, if you don't tell me, I will file a complaint and say that you are disrespectful to Taizu's holy elephant."
Long Chen's face was pleasant and his expression was kind, but the palace maid was shocked: "Why do you confuse right and wrong? You are obviously disrespectful to Taizu's sacred elephant."
Long Chen chuckled and said, "Sister, whatever I say will be whatever it is. Will your Majesty believe you or me?"
The palace maid knew that Long Chen was very favored, so she didn't dare to argue with him.
The palace maid had no choice but to close the door and whispered: "That is the sacred image of Taizu Shi Potian. Everyone will kneel down when they see it. You will also kneel down next time you see it."
Long Chen asked: "Is the wooden sword held in Taizu's hand some kind of treasure?"
Although it was made of wood, Long Chen felt that the wooden sword was unusual.
The palace maid shook her head and said, "I don't know about that."
An older palace maid behind her said: "That is a holy sword, which can subdue demons and eliminate demons. It is said to be carved from holy wood."
Long Chen smiled and said: "Conquering demons? Have you seen it?"
The palace maid said: "The king was frightened and cried when he was a child. The Supreme King asked the king to take off the wooden sword and put it next to his pillow. It will be fine that night."
Long Chen said speechlessly: "That's it?"
It is normal for children to cry when frightened. It would be too hasty to say it is a holy sword just based on this.
The palace maid said with some pride: "Mr. Liu, you know how to treat illnesses and save people. I know more about the Holy Sword than you do."
"It is said that the holy sword was forged by Taizu when he followed the Martial Saint to conquer the world. The wood used is a kind of sacred wood."
This may sound mysterious, but it makes sense.
"Sacred tree? Kunlun Mountain? Or Penglai Island?"
Long Chen joked.
The palace maid asked: "What is Kunlun Penglai?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "This is where the gods live."
The palace maid shook her head and said: "No, it is said that the sacred tree is in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty."
Long Chen laughed and said: "Eastern Zhou? There are sacred trees in Eastern Zhou? Why didn't I know?"
