An official from the Ministry of War was grabbed by Zhuge Qing's chest. He looked around and wanted to ask for help, but other officials hurriedly left the table to dodge.
"I, what I mean is that even if you want to send troops, there are no troops to send."
"Where have the troops gone?"
"This morning, I went to... Shifeng... on the outskirts of the capital for training..."
"How can the army leave the capital without permission when the emperor is not here? Who made the decision?"
"Yesterday, Mr. Wang, the Minister of War, made a sudden decision."
"Secretary Minister? Where is the Minister of War?"
"The minister suddenly fell ill a few days ago... All official duties have been temporarily taken over by the minister."
Zhuge Qing smacked his lips and pushed the official away.
"...Where is Mr. Wang?"
"He, he also went to training together."
Zhuge Qing turned around and walked out of the military department, closing the door forcefully.
...This time the opponent's actions were very secretive. Maybe the Minister of War was also poisoned.
Arriving at Zhongshu Province, Zhuge Ciyun, Zhuge Qing's father, Zhongshu Ling, looked surprised when he saw his son's face.
"No matter what happens, don't write it on your face."
"I can't dispatch the troops. Wang Shilang has mobilized all the troops for training."
"Really? Then we can only summon the imperial army and state soldiers in the city."
"The security in the palace will be relaxed."
"This is exactly what the other party wants."
Zhuge Ciyun continued to read official documents and handle government affairs as usual.
"...I understand, go ahead! Even if something happens here, we are the only ones in the palace anyway, so hurry up and protect His Majesty and the Queen."
"this……"
The Zhongshu Provincial officials other than Zhuge Ciyun looked at each other uneasily, but still said to Zhuge Qing: "Go ahead! We will immediately prepare an official document to notify all counties."
"Zhongshu Province will also send personnel to accompany you..."
"..."
Zhuge Qing breathed out a heavy breath and turned his shoulders.
...Yes, although we must act quickly, we cannot be in a hurry.
"What about the selection of the Imperial Guard?"
"Do it now, it will be done by dawn."
"give it to you."
Zhuge Qing was about to walk out when he suddenly looked back at Zhuge Ciyun.
Zhuge Ciyun still didn't look at his son, looking down at the information.
"Father……"
"What's up?"
"Qing'er is in Chunying Palace."
"knew."
Zhuge Qing immediately walked out.
Zhuge Ciyun did not raise his head and whispered softly: "...This is a big help."
The sky was getting brighter, and the boat turned its back towards the rising sun.
The distant coast, the towering rocky mountains, the bottomless color of the water... As the sun gradually dawned, the scene that clearly appeared in front of me just told myself that there was no way to escape here.
Xiangquan no longer cries.
After she cried heartily, she finally realized that crying could not solve any problems. She could only hold the pipa she accidentally brought tightly, like a child holding tightly to its mother's arm.
Last night, I heard the man named Xu Gongchun explain the general situation.
Of course, it was Xu Gongchun who kept talking endlessly.
They planned to depose Lu Fusu, install Shui Qiancheng as emperor, and let the people of Liuzhou restore the Xia Kingdom.
Xu Gongchun was so tongue-tied that he described Shui Qiancheng as the mastermind of this absurd rebellion. However, these three people were just a thirteen-year-old child, a maid, and a young man studying in a private school. It was impossible for him to plan such a rebellion.
thing.
...Who is behind the scenes...?
It was not difficult for Shui Xinyuan to realize that someone was behind the scenes. They must be princes and nobles who hated both him and Lu Fusu.
...Lu Fusu hasn't returned to the capital yet. What will happen without the emperor and the empress' court?
I should be defending the court, but now...
Looking back, Shui Xinyuan felt that she was too addicted to Lu Fusu's love.
As a queen, she should be stronger, but because she stayed alone in the palace for a month, she felt uneasy. She was unwilling to face things that would make her unhappy, and she pursued the relaxation of the court servant era...
...I'm so useless...
I was kidnapped like this, causing trouble to all the civil and military officials.
Moreover, there is no way to escape now, I am too incompetent.
emperor……
I really want to see you, but I don’t have the face to see you.
If another woman became the queen, she would be so sad that she would cry bitterly, but I can't do anything a queen should do...
