"It's okay." Liu Xiu looked back at Xu Xiling and said, "Xiling also heard that Lihua hadn't left home for many days, so she came here to visit her."
Yin Lihua smiled at Xu Xiling and said, "Thank you, Xiling."
"You are welcome, noble man."
Sitting down in the main hall, Yin Lihua looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Your Majesty, I still want to go to Nanyang."
The smile on Liu Xiu's face froze, and then he said: "I thought we had already discussed this matter."
When Yin Lihua raised this matter, Liu Xiu had already clearly rejected it. He did not think it was necessary to continue discussing the matter again.
She frowned and said seriously: "Now because of Yuan Zhi's rebellion, Da Sima and one hundred thousand soldiers are in danger. I am confident that this trip can persuade Yuan Zhi to change his mind and free Da Sima and one hundred thousand soldiers."
Danger!"
Liu Xiu stroked his forehead and said helplessly: "Lihua, I have already said that there is no need to discuss this matter again! Moreover, Deng Feng's rebellion was not caused by Yuan Feier, nor will it be caused by you.
Ended with lobbying.”
Deng Feng was not an ignorant person, and such a big thing as rebellion could never be due to his impulsiveness. Yuan Feier's death was just an introduction at best, and the intention of rebellion had long been in Deng Feng's heart.
.
Yin Lihua shook her head and said: "Your Majesty has misunderstood Yuan Zhi too deeply. Yuan Zhi and I are innocent..."
"Does Lihua think that I don't know about your innocence with Deng Feng, and I need Lihua to remind me in person?" Regarding Yin Lihua's misunderstanding, Liu Xiu felt helpless, sad and angry.
He said: "It is definitely not feasible for Lihua to go to Nanyang, and there is no need to discuss this matter again!" After speaking, Liu Xiu stood up and walked out.
He didn't want to get angry at Yin Lihua, so it was better to leave now and calm down.
"Your Majesty..." Xu Xiling raised his hand to stop Liu Xiu, but Liu Xiu simply walked away without looking back.
Xu Xiling slowly lowered his raised hand, turned to look at Yin Lihua, and said softly: "Your Majesty does not allow you to go to Nanyang because you are worried about your safety, so why should you persist?"
Yin Lihua lowered her head and said: "Your Majesty and I are husband and wife, and Yuan Zhi is a close friend to me. During Your Majesty's stay in Hebei, I relied entirely on Yuan Zhi's care."
Xu Xiling has followed Liu Xiu for a long time, and she is also very clear about the relationship between Liu Xiu, Yin Lihua, and Deng Feng. Just as she was about to speak, Yin Lihua continued: "The last thing I want to see is His Majesty and Yuan Zhibingrong.
Facing each other."
Alas! Xu Xiling sighed secretly, not knowing how to persuade Yin Lihua. The latter suddenly thought of something, and an idea flashed in her mind. She looked at Xu Xiling and said, "Xiling has served as the Yeting Order before."
Xu Xiling nodded, not understanding why Yin Lihua suddenly mentioned this matter, and suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
Yin Lihua looked around, stood up, came to Xu Xiling, and whispered: "Since Xiling has made the Ye Ting Order, it shouldn't be difficult to secretly send someone out of the palace."
A cold breeze ran down Xu Xiling's spine. She knew that something bad would happen if Yin Lihua suddenly mentioned this matter. She swallowed her saliva, looked at her in disbelief, and asked, "Doesn't the noble man want Xi Ling to send it secretly?"
Are you leaving the palace?"
Yin Lihua immediately asked: "Is there anything Xi Ling can do?"
Xu Xiling almost laughed, laughing angrily. Not only did Liu Xiu think that Yin Lihua had a narrow escape from going to Nanyang to persuade Deng Feng, Xu Xiling also thought that doing so was too dangerous.
Although the two women serve the same husband, there must be a rift between them, but Xu Xiling doesn't hate Yin Lihua to the point of trying to kill her.
She swallowed her saliva and said cautiously: "My lord, do you know how the relationship between you and Deng Feng is spread in the palace now?"
Seeing Yin Lihua's blank face, Xu Xiling said meaningfully: "Many palace people said that the nobleman and Deng Feng were childhood sweethearts. It was His Majesty who snatched the nobleman from Deng Feng's hands with a knife, and this led to Deng Feng's death.
Feng Zai’s rebellion in Nanyang.”
Yin Lihua's expression changed, her eyebrows knitted together, and she said, "That's all nonsense!"
Xu Xiling said: "That's right, it's all nonsense! Don't you think, once the noble man secretly leaves the palace and goes to Nanyang, won't these rumors be confirmed? People will think that the noble man is going to elope with Deng Feng!"
Yin Lihua was stunned, trembled, and said: "Yuanzhi and I are innocent. Now that such a rumor suddenly appears, I have to go to Nanyang to persuade Yuanzhi to return to the court. In this way, the rumors will not come true.
break!"
Xu Xiling looked at Yin Lihua longingly. After a long time, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh, shook her head and said: "Why don't you understand, noble man? Human words are terrible! Noble man, stay peacefully in the palace. It won't be long before these things happen."
The rumors will naturally dissipate, and once the nobleman sneaks out of the palace and goes to Nanyang to find Deng Feng, then..."
By then, the rumors will become more and more intense. Not to mention that your noble reputation is in jeopardy and your face will be lost. Even His Majesty's face will be lost. How can you not understand such a simple truth?
It's not that Yin Lihua doesn't understand, it's just that she has important things to do now. Liu Xiu is her husband and Deng Feng is her good friend. She doesn't want anything to happen to anyone. There is only one solution, which is to persuade Deng Feng to give up.
rebel.
"Xiling just tell me, is there any way to get out of the palace?" yyls
"Yes!" Xu Xiling said truthfully: "But I won't do such a thing for a noble person." She refused simply.
Yin Lihua said: "Xiling, you and I have known each other for many years, and I have never asked you to do anything for me."
Xu Xiling smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said: "My lord, Xiling can help you with everything else, but this matter is absolutely impossible!"
Yin Lihua looked at Xu Xiling, was silent for a moment, and suddenly knelt down on her knees. Xu Xiling was startled, and then she knelt down and said urgently: "What are you doing, sir? Isn't this the evil Xi Ling?!"
"I really have no other choice but to ask Xi Ling to help me!"
"I..." At this time, even Xu Xiling, who had always been resourceful, was almost forced to cry by Yin Lihua. Helping Yin Lihua get out of the palace, what if His Majesty knew about it? It's a trivial matter whether you lose favor or not.
You're going to lose your head.
"Your Majesty, you are forcing me!"
"If Yuan Zhi cannot change his mind, has Xi Ling considered what the final result will be?" Yin Lihua asked word by word.
Xu Xiling stared blankly at Yin Lihua without saying a word. Yin Lihua said: "Now, Da Sima and his 100,000 soldiers are trapped in Nanyang, surrounded by enemies, and are struggling. If Yuan Zhi cannot change his mind, I am afraid that Da Sima and
One hundred thousand soldiers will all die in Nanyang! Once the Great Sima and one hundred thousand soldiers are lost, His Majesty’s great cause will probably..."
She didn't finish what she said, but the meaning was already clear. If Wu Han and one hundred thousand elite soldiers were lost, how could there be any great cause left?
Xu Xiling took a breath. Since she became Liu Xiu's concubine, she has seldom cared about government affairs. She mainly focuses on the harem and how to recuperate her body and give birth to children.
She did not expect that Wu Hanjun's situation in Nanyang was already so critical.
Yin Lihua said seriously: "I went to Nanyang to persuade Yuan Zhi, not for my own selfish reasons, but to share your worries and solve your problems!"
Xu Xiling fell into silence and didn't say anything for a long time. She didn't know how long it took before she came back to her senses, looked at Yin Lihua, and asked seriously: "Your Majesty, has it really been decided?"
Yin Lihua nodded heavily and said decisively: "Yes!"
Xu Xiling took a deep breath, thought about it for a long time, and said, "Okay! I'll help you get out of the palace!"
In fact, Ye Tingling had quite a lot of power in the palace. Most of the palace ladies were under the control of Ye Tingling. In addition, Ye Tingling was also in charge of Yeting Palace.
Yeting Palace was a place where maids who made mistakes were reformed through labor. Those who entered the Palace would be skinned even if they did not die.
It is not easy for people in the palace to leave the palace. The chance of a palace maid leaving the palace is almost zero. It is easier for a chamberlain to leave the palace.
If Xu Xiling wants to get Yin Lihua out of the palace, there is only one way, which is to disguise her as a chamberlain. Yin Lihua's appearance, even if she changes into the chambermaid's clothes and her bun becomes the chamberlain's hairstyle, she still looks amazingly beautiful.
Fortunately, Xu Xiling has also learned some disguise techniques. She can't disguise one person into another person's appearance, but she can still make a person look ugly.
She thickened Yin Lihua's delicate eyebrows, flattened her nose, and painted her lips thick and big. After dressing up, Yin Lihua looked in the mirror, and she didn't even recognize herself in the mirror.
Then, Xu Xiling took out the chambermaid's clothes that she had received from someone else and helped Yin Lihua put them on. Looking at Yin Lihua at this moment, she seemed to be a different person, she was just a rough-looking little chamberlain.
Yin Lihua looked in the mirror again and again and felt very satisfied. She smiled and asked, "Xiling, when can we leave the palace?"
"In a few days, some of the chamberlains will come out of the palace to select ingredients. Then we can take the opportunity to sneak out!" Xu Xiling said in a brisk tone while helping Yin Lihua take off her clothes and wash off her makeup.
Yin Lihua said oh at first, but soon she heard something was wrong. She was surprised and said: "Us?"
Xu Xiling smiled and said: "Helping the nobleman leave the palace, how can such a big thing be kept secret? As long as your majesty investigates, he will definitely find me. This time, Xiling can only accompany the nobleman."
After leaving the palace, Xi Ling will go and apologize to Your Majesty once the noble lady returns to the palace safe and sound."
Hearing this, Yin Lihua felt very sorry. She took Xu Xiling's hand and said with emotion: "Xiling, thank you for what you have done for me!"
Not for you, just for His Majesty!
Deng Feng's rebellion put the Han army led by Wu Han into a desperate situation in Nanyang. As Yin Lihua said, the best solution is to persuade Deng Feng to change his mind.
Xu Xiling didn't know whether this trip would be successful, but even if there was only a glimmer of hope, it was worth taking the risk.
Yin Lihua and Xu Xiling decided to leave the palace secretly and go to Nanyang. Liu Xiu knew nothing about this matter. At this time, he was receiving the envoy sent by Kai Xiao.
Kui Xiao was an old minister of Gengshi.
When the Red Eyebrow Army came to the city, the Green Forest people plotted to kidnap Liu Xuan, planning to loot Chang'an and then evacuate Chang'an to avoid the Red Eyebrow Army.
Among the group of ministers who conspired to kidnap Liu Xuan, there was Kui Xiao.
Later, when the incident was revealed, Liu Xuan learned about it, pretended not to know, and invited the conspirators into the palace. At that time, Zhang, Hu Yin, Liao Zhan, and Shen Tujian all arrived, but only Wei Xiao was the most cunning, claiming that he was ill.
Later, Zhang, Liao Zhan, and Hu Yin saw that the situation was not right and fled one after another. Only the unlucky guy Shen Tujian stayed in the palace and was finally executed by Liu Xuan.
After the incident was revealed, Wei Xiao could no longer stay in Chang'an, so he fled to Tianshui, proclaimed himself the General of Xizhou, and occupied the Xiliang area.
This time, the main purpose of Kaixiao sending an envoy to Luoyang was to make good friends with Liu Xiu. Kaixiao was ambitious but not courageous. Although he now controlled the Xiliang area, he had no intention of proclaiming himself king.
courage.
He wanted to find a backer for himself, so that he could have a protective umbrella, and at the same time, he could stay in Xiliang openly and honestly. Wei Xiao made many choices and settled on Liu Xiu from Luoyang.
