Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang knew nothing about what happened behind them. They hurriedly climbed over the wall and returned to the palace. However, the palace was quiet and unusual. Yun Shang looked around before raising his eyes.
He came to look at Luo Qing, who was hugging him behind him, and said, "Something's wrong."
Luo Qingyan nodded, "We haven't returned to Weiyang Palace yet, so we shouldn't be so quiet."
The two looked at each other, Yun Shang pondered for a moment, then took out the flute from his sleeve and conveyed the message to the secret guard. For a long time, there was no response.
"I'm afraid something happened at Weiyang Palace, let's go to Tai Chi Palace first." Luo Qingyan made a decision immediately.
Luo Qingyan took Yun Shang and carefully avoided the guards patrolling back and forth, and then arrived in front of the Tai Chi Hall. In front of the Tai Chi Hall, there were two eunuchs dozing off. Yun Shang escaped from his sleeves with a small white jade bottle, and put it in
With a light step, he walked up to the two chamberlains, gave the white jade vial to the two men to smell, and then the two men fell asleep against the wall.
Luo Qingyan pushed open the door of Tai Chi Hall, and the two of them quickly entered the Tai Chi Hall.
Because Luo Qingyan was not in the Tai Chi Hall, there were still a few lamps on in the Tai Chi Hall, but there were no palace attendants on duty. Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan sat down on the steps in front of the dragon chair. Luo Qingyan
Fang opened his mouth and said: "The private prison I arranged earlier will definitely draw Xia Huanyu's attention away. It was supposed to last until we came back, but now that the palace is so quiet, I'm afraid something has happened.
I'm afraid Xia Huanyu saw through our plan in advance, because the secret guards at Weiyang Palace didn't respond just now, so they must have been controlled by Xia Huanyu's orders."
"Then what should we do now?" Yun Shang frowned and asked softly.
"Even if Xia Huanyu found out that his people were with the wrong person, he didn't know where we went. There were secret guards around us, and the troops were divided into three groups. One group went to Weiyang Palace to inquire about the situation, and the other group went
Outside the palace, it was reported that two or three courtiers had entered the palace. Instead of entering through the palace gate, they climbed over the wall. The third way was to go to the palace gate. There were also people who placed us among the guards at the palace gate. We recorded in the record book of entering the palace.
Some hands and feet colluded with the palace gate guards to give false evidence." Luo Qingyan arranged it carefully.
Yun Shang frowned and pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "In this way, it can be proved that we are in the palace and have not left the palace. Xia Huanyu did not want to go to Liu Yinfeng. He just sent someone to go there.
I'm afraid there is something wrong with Weiyang Palace. Since Weiyang Palace has been controlled by Xia Huanyu, if we send secret guards to investigate again, wouldn't we be throwing ourselves into a trap and telling him that we already have suspicions may disrupt our arrangements. I
There are also some hidden stakes arranged in other palaces. Things were so noisy tonight, so they must know something about it. I wrote down the palaces and names, and asked the secret guards to look for them one by one and ask them.
."
"Shang'er should be careful." Luo Qingyan smiled and touched Yun Shang's hair, and the two of them started to act separately.
The night is already dark, but the palace is destined to be unable to calm down tonight.
The secret guards moved separately, and the speed was not slow. The first one to return was the one who went to find the palace guards, saying that everything had been arranged properly.
Then, they went to various palaces and halls to check the hidden stakes.
"After your Majesty and your empress left the palace, the people in the private cell clashed with the secret guards who came as arranged, and started fighting for a while. However, the people hiding in the surroundings secretly
It was not like Your Majesty and Your Majesty imagined that they would take advantage of the chaos to enter the private prison to investigate. Instead, they went directly to the Palace of Supreme Harmony to report to the Supreme Emperor, who then came over in person." The secret guard cupped his hands and reported.
Yun Shang frowned: "No wonder, when the Emperor came, the secret guard pretending to be us didn't dare to meet him."
"Yes. After the Supreme Emperor arrived, he couldn't find His Majesty or the Queen, so he angrily ordered everyone to be taken back to Weiyang Palace. The secret guards led by the Supreme Emperor were extremely skilled in martial arts, and the martial arts masters in the Weiyang Palace were relatively high.
They were all guarding Your Majesty and Your Majesty, and the secret guards in Weiyang Palace were suppressed to death, but they didn't even have a chance to report the news. Then the Supreme Emperor ordered people to search everywhere, in the name of looking for Your Majesty and Your Majesty.
It’s just the real purpose, but I’m afraid only they know it.”
When Luo Qingyan heard this, he smiled coldly and said, "Have they ever come to Tai Chi Hall to look for them?"
The secret guard shook his head: "No."
"I knew it." Luo Qingyan sneered, and then said softly: "He knew that he had been fooled by our golden cicada's escape plan, so he felt that we would definitely not be in Tai Chi Hall, but he didn't even bother to search. He was looking for
Yes, I’m afraid it’s Cao Wenxi.”
Yun Shang reached out and shook Luo Qingyan's hand, and said softly: "However, this does provide us with an opportunity, doesn't it?"
Luo Qingyan nodded: "Yes."
The door of the Taiji Hall was gently pushed open. Li Qianmo walked in the front, followed by several men in court clothes. They were about to salute, but Luo Qingyan waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite, today we are here."
I invite you all to come here just because I want you to act as a shield for me. If the Supreme Emperor comes later, please tell me that we will discuss political affairs in this Tai Chi Hall from Haishi."
Several people looked at each other in confusion after hearing this. Li Qianmo cupped his hands and said, "But Your Majesty, if the Supreme Emperor asks us what we are discussing and why the Queen is here, how should I respond?"
Luo Qingyan turned his head and looked at Yun Shang, who smiled and said: "The harem is not allowed to participate in political affairs, but there is only one thing that can be excluded. Some time ago, the traitor Xia Houjing raised troops in Liucang to plot a rebellion. Although the rebellion has been suppressed,
The people around Liu Cang also suffered heavy losses due to this war, and there was a famine. Your Majesty received an urgent report and summoned you to the palace to discuss relief matters. I was just here...to ask your Majesty to come earlier.
I went back to the palace to rest, and I met you guys discussing this matter. I felt that the people were in trouble, and as His Majesty's family, the harem should also reduce expenses and set an example. Then, we discussed the emergency medicinal materials that Liu Cang might need to prepare now.
some type of."
Everyone looked at each other, and Fang nodded and said, "I understand."
Yun Shang smiled, turned to Luo Qingyan and said: "I went to wake up the two palace attendants at the door first, and then said that His Majesty was tired from discussing matters, so she asked him to go to Weiyang Palace and order someone to cook some porridge and bring it over."
Luo Qingyan nodded lightly, and Yun Shang smiled and left the Tai Chi Hall.
Outside the Tai Chi Hall, two palace ladies were sleeping soundly against the wall. Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked into the sky. Today is the beginning of the month, and the moon has only a small tooth and is not very bright. There are two lanterns hanging outside the palace door. Yun Shang
Using the light of the lantern, I touched my sleeves, but I didn't find what I wanted.
Frowning slightly, Yun Shang reached out and pushed the two chamberlains to the ground.
"Who? Who? Who?" One person shouted, suddenly opened his eyes and looked around. The other person saw Yun Shang at a glance, and hurriedly stood up and knelt down:
"The Queen, I pay my respects to the Queen."
When the people who were looking around heard this, they paused and quickly knelt down.
Yun Shang sneered: "Did you take a nap here while you were on duty?"
The two of them trembled all over and begged for mercy: "Queen, please forgive me, my servants have realized their mistake."
"Are you wrong? When I and Your Majesty came over an hour and a half ago, you were sleeping. Now His Majesty and several adults have been coming in and out, discussing political affairs in the palace for nearly an hour, and you are still sleeping. Who will
How brave are you?" Yun Shang's voice suddenly became louder.
When the two of them heard this, they even lay down on the ground, not even daring to breathe a sigh of relief.
Yun Shang glanced at the two of them coldly, and was silent for a moment. When she spoke again, her voice was a little lower, but her coldness continued unabated, "Go to Weiyang Palace and tell the kitchen to make some midnight snacks."
Come here. If you can't even handle such small things, you don't have to work in this Taiji Palace anymore. The inner chamberlain must be more suitable for you."
After Yun Shang finished speaking, the two people kowtowed in response to the "yes". Yun Shang raised his eyes again and glanced at the crescent moon in the sky, then turned around and slowly entered the Tai Chi Hall.
Voices from the Taiji Palace came over, and someone was saying: "Your Majesty, I thought it would be difficult to get the ministers of the court to use money to provide food, but there must be a lot of worn-out clothes in each mansion.
Although the clothes are worn out, the material is definitely not bad. Now that the weather is getting colder, it is difficult for the people in Liucang to dress warmly, so it is better to collect those old clothes and send them to Liucang. Such things,
For the people, it is real, but for the officials who handle it, it is of no benefit, so there is no need to go through layers of exploitation, and it will not reach the hands of refugees."
"Master Li, this plan is very clever." Luo Qingyan said with a clear voice. The two servants kneeling outside the palace door looked at each other with a bit of sweat on their foreheads, and their eyes were filled with fear.
Seeing Yun Shang walking into Taiji Hall, he stood up in a hurry, and one of the chamberlains hurried towards Weiyang Palace.
In less than half an hour, a series of footsteps were heard outside the palace door. Everyone in the palace looked at each other, but pretended not to hear anything, and everyone was busy discussing.
The palace door was pushed open, and Xia Huanyu stood at the door, expressionless, but his eyes seemed to be filled with frost and snow.
Yun Shangfang put down the pen in his hand, stood up, walked behind Luo Qingyan, saluted Xia Huanyu and said, "Father."
"The Great Emperor."
Luo Qingyan raised his eyes and looked at Xia Huanyu, with a slight smile on his face: "Father came to visit late at night, what's the urgent matter?"
Xia Huanyu glanced at the people in the hall indifferently, then walked to the middle of the hall and said: "You guys who work in the middle of the night, what are you busy here?"
Luo Qingyan smiled and responded: "I am discussing political affairs with all the adults."
"Discussing political affairs?" Xia Huanyu sat down on a chair nearby, but his eyes fell on Yun Shang: "Since we are discussing political affairs, why is the queen here? The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. This is a rule set by our ancestors. Could it be that
Does the queen want to break this rule?" (To be continued)
