While half of the city of Zezhou was in chaos due to the fire in Deshengchang, the capital city was calm and the sun was shining brightly.
The four gates of the capital were still closed, and no one was coming or going outside. After all, the golden soldiers were still running around outside the city.
But the atmosphere at the city gate has improved a lot, the broken walls have been repaired, and there are a lot of people walking around on the street, but they are quite cautious when saying hello.
This is not to be careful of Jin soldiers, but to be careful of being caught by officers and soldiers if you say something you shouldn't say.
A carriage was pulled out in front of Jiulingtang. Several waiters carefully arranged the carriage and horses, while seven or eight guards looked around cautiously.
Many people on the street have already looked this way.
"Is Miss Jun coming out?"
As the news spread, more people gathered here.
Ever since she said the astonishing words in front of the imperial mausoleum to ask for the establishment of King Huai, Miss Jun has not appeared in front of anyone again.
Thinking about it, she also knew how appalling what she said was.
"Where is this going?"
"Are you going to the imperial mausoleum to question the emperor again?"
The people looked at this and pointed and curiously discussed, discussing where Miss Jun was going, she would not be arrested as much as discussing whether King Huai should be crowned prince. The streets were noisy and lively.
The atmosphere in Jiulingtang was quiet and solemn.
"Do you really want to go?" Chen Qi said with a frown, looking at Miss Jun who came out.
Miss Jun is dressed up in a grand manner today. This is only done when she is in audience.
"Is there any way you can resist the decree?"
Before Miss Jun could speak, Fang Jinxiu said angrily.
Chen Qi chuckled.
"I can't help it. If Miss Jun wants it, she can definitely do it," he said.
Miss Jun smiled.
"Neither do I," she said. "After all, I am not a high-ranking official. I can reject the Emperor's and Queen Mother's orders out of righteousness."
In the final analysis, she is just a woman of destiny, not to mention that she still carries the reputation of being domineering and domineering.
"That's not better. Before I give an answer to your request, you still resist." Fang Jinxiu snorted, "Anyway, it's just more domineering and arrogant."
Chen Qi reached out and poked her, but Miss Jun didn't care and just laughed.
"No matter how arrogant and domineering you are, it's just for the sake of talking." She said, "A stalemate will not solve the problem in the end. We still have to talk about what we have to say. Since the Queen Mother wants to talk to me now, there is nothing I dare not talk about."
Fang Jinxiu pouted.
"What are you talking about? I obviously want you to reprimand me," she said.
"Reprimands are also open to discussion. The Queen Mother can reprimand, and I can also refute." Miss Jun said, looking in the direction of the palace, "And there are some things I really want to ask her."
Ask her, she seems to be on equal terms with the Queen Mother, her attitude is really arrogant.
She had always felt that Jun Zhenzhen was very arrogant, especially after she broke off her engagement with the Ning family.
Fang Jinxiu paused briefly when he thought of this.
It stands to reason that breaking off the engagement with the Ning family should be a sign that Jun Zhenzhen is aware of current affairs and has become sensible and sensible. But from that time on, she felt that Jun Zhenzhen had become arrogant from the bottom up.
Appearance.
In the bones.
From the moment she called her Jun Jiuling?
Is that in the bones of the person named Jun Jiuling?
Fang Jinxiu looked at the woman getting on the carriage. There was no maid to help her. Liu Er had already been sent to the place where the families of the Qingshan Army gathered under the pretext of her help. She didn't need anyone to help her and got into the carriage quickly.
The carriage drove towards the palace surrounded by guards and pointed by the people.
Fang Jinxiu looked at the cars and horses in her sight in silence.
"Is it safe in the palace?" she asked suddenly.
"Safety." Chen Qi whispered, "Not to mention that everyone is watching the Queen Mother's every move. Because Jin Bing and the emperor are not in the imperial city, the Queen Mother has mobilized a group of Qingshan troops to serve as forbidden troops in the palace."
The Queen Mother had no choice but to trust in the heroic reputation of the Qingshan Army and specifically asked them to come to guard the palace. She was not happy that not many people came.
Miss Jun is safe with these people in the palace.
Fang Jinxiu said no more and looked at the direction where the carriage had disappeared on the street.
………
………
Miss Jun got off the carriage in front of the palace gate and met Ning Yan and several other ministers coming out. They all had complicated expressions when they saw her.
"Miss Jun, I still hope you can understand the word duty." Ning Yan thought for a moment and stepped forward and said.
Miss Jun smiled at him.
"Yes, I have always remembered it and never dared to forget it," she said.
This duty is that God has justice.
Ning Yan wanted to say something more, but the chamberlain waiting in front of the palace gate became a little impatient.
"Master Ning, the Queen Mother is still waiting." He urged.
Ning Yan glanced at the servant.
"I think it is better not to discuss the government affairs unreasonably until Your Majesty returns to the palace," he said.
The waiter seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"Master Ning is joking. Both the empress and the county lord are women, how can they discuss the government affairs arbitrarily?" he said, emphasizing the words "female" and "arbitrary opinion", "The empress ordered the county lord to come, but it was just a chat between women.
Does Mr. Ning think that the county master can speak, but the empress cannot?"
Ning Yan would not argue with these servants and give him a cold look.
After all, the chamberlain did not dare to offend such an important minister, so he shrank his head and signaled Miss Jun again.
Miss Jun saluted Ning Yan and followed the waiter inside.
Ning Yan shook his head.
"Master Ning, let's go."
"Let's discuss it later when His Majesty comes back."
Other officials whispered.
Ning Yan frowned again when he mentioned His Majesty.
"I'm going to the imperial mausoleum, and then I'll invite your majesty back to the palace," he said.
What's the matter with always pushing and hiding like this?
Other officials also nodded.
"I must invite His Majesty to return to the palace today no matter what."
"If you don't return to the palace, I will be unable to kneel down in the imperial mausoleum."
Everyone said this, and everyone immediately prepared their carriages and horses.
Not to mention that these officials went to the imperial mausoleum, Miss Jun had already followed the eunuchs to lead the way to the harem.
Along the way, I saw the Qingshan Army guarding the Forbidden Army from time to time, and even saw Li Guorui.
Li Guorui never thought that he would be on duty in the palace. Although it had been many days, his face was still glowing, but he felt a little ashamed when he saw Miss Jun.
"I can't kill enemies as well as Miss Zhao and the others." He said sarcastically.
At the same time, he felt a little strange in his heart, when did he actually feel that protecting the imperial city was not as glorious as killing enemies outside.
"Master Li, you are being humble. You kill the enemy for the sake of the security of the rear." Miss Jun said, "They only trust you to be able to provide security for the rear."
That's right, Li Guorui was smiling again.
"Miss Jun is going to see the Queen Mother. Just now I saw that the Queen Mother has arrived at the main hall." He said enthusiastically.
The waiter beside him coughed lightly.
"Master Li, this is the palace. You are a guard now. I am not here to guard and check." He said displeased, "Don't forget the rules. You can discuss the Queen Mother's whereabouts at will?"
Li Guorui responded yes, but still winked at Miss Jun.
The waiter rolled his eyes and ignored it.
Miss Jun smiled at Li Guorui and followed the chambermaid to the palace where the Queen Mother was.
When she saw this palace, Miss Jun paused slightly.
Here...
"Miss Jun?" the waiter turned around to remind.
Miss Jun put away her confusion, regained her composure and continued walking.
A line of servants stood under the palace, lowering their heads and holding their breath in silence. When they saw them coming, two eunuchs opened the door.
"The Queen Mother has given orders, please come in when Miss Jun comes." said the chamberlain who led the way.
Miss Jun responded and walked in. The door was closed behind her. The sudden darkness made her vision blurry for a moment. She paused for a moment before she could see clearly inside the hall.
There was no one in the palace except the Queen Mother sitting in the middle.
Miss Jun took a few steps forward, bowed her head and saluted.
"I have met the Queen Mother." She knelt down and said.
"Miss Jun, I don't know if you know."
A male voice came from the front.
This voice startled Miss Jun. She raised her head and looked at the man wearing a dragon robe who came out from behind the screen behind the Queen Mother's seat.
emperor?
When did he return to the palace?
The emperor stood next to the Queen Mother and looked at her coldly and condescendingly.
"There was a man named Jiu Ling who was chopped to death by me with a knife here." He said, "I am very happy that another man named Jiu Ling came here today."
After he finished speaking, Miss Jun heard the sound of footsteps all around, and a group of servants emerged from behind the curtain.
They held swords in their hands and were approaching with flashes of cold light.
