Chapter Seventy-Three

Empress Dowager Cao's heart sank.

There are many people around her who serve, when did a small guard dare to break into her?

Empress Dowager Cao, who fought all the way from the predicament, was very sensitive, otherwise she would not have become the first regent of the Empress Dowager.

After a little hesitation, she immediately stood up and instructed the palace maid who came to show her: "Invite someone in!"

The goddess Omiya went out in a panic.

Empress Dowager Cao straightened her clothes in front of the mirror and went to the main hall next to her.

Li Qian's expression was anxious, his clothes were disheveled, his long sword was unsheathed, and there were a few sticks of dead grass in his hair, as if he had come out of the woods, very wolf.

Empress Dowager Cao's heart sank.

She looked coldly at the visitor.

Li Qian had already taken a few steps forward and knelt in front of the Empress Dowager Cao, and said urgently: "Empress Dowager, I am Li Zongquan Li Qian, the eldest son of Li Changqing, the general soldier of Fujian. Lord Cao has been killed, and the emperor and Zhenguo are coming here with people, saying that they want to force you to return the government to the emperor......"

"What did you say?" Empress Dowager Cao couldn't hide the horror in her heart, stood up suddenly, and asked again with a trembling voice, "What did you just say?"

Maybe Empress Dowager Cao never dreamed that she would have such a day!

Li Qian thought secretly in his heart, but his voice became more and more anxious, and said, "Queen Mother, I didn't lie to you. If you don't believe me, just send someone out and have a look. They should be there soon, so you might as well come with me! Stay in the green mountains, not afraid of running out of firewood. It's too late, so you'd better come with me! I found it by accident, and I came alone for fear of alarming others...... There were also a few guards in the back to help me cover up, and I don't know where I was now...... As long as you rush to Mizuki to kiss yourself, the dragon boats are all parked there...... I heard my father say that the commanders of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division are loyal to the Queen Mother. Just go into the city......"

He spoke incoherently, but Empress Dowager Cao's eyes widened.

It is only in times of danger that one can speak like this.

It can be seen that what Li Qian said is true!

She stared at Li Qian's eyes.

There's fear, there's nervousness, there's fear. There is apprehension, and there is also forced composure...... But he didn't calculate!

It seems to be true!

Empress Dowager Cao raised her hand, and the tea cups and tin dishes on the coffee table were all swept to the ground.

"The wings are stiff. How dare you change the palace!" Her eyes widened, as if there was a fire burning under her eyes, so hot that her eyes pierced, her face was full of anger, and her expression became a little distorted.

Li Qian was taken aback.

In the blink of an eye. The anger in Empress Dowager Cao's eyes turned into hatred, she gritted her teeth and held back her feelings, and ordered the palace maid beside her: "You go and call Cheng Dehai over to me, and then serve me to change clothes, let's go!" The last sentence was said to Li Qian.

Li Qian was in awe.

Decisive and resolute, not to mention Empress Dowager Cao, a female streamer who lives in the deep palace, even those men who are often born and die on the battlefield are rarely so responsible. No wonder Empress Dowager Cao became the first Empress Dowager to listen to the government in the current dynasty.

Can Jiang Zhenyuan beat her?

Sympathy swept by, and Li Qian immediately cleaned up all the things that he had and didn't have in his mind. began to help Empress Dowager Cao pack up her things: "Do you think there is any place where I can be used?"

Empress Dowager Cao had already regained her posture at this time, and praised him: "Your father can teach a son like you, which shows that he has spent a lot of effort on you. When I see your father, I will thank him very much. ”

Li Qian was like all the ambitious young people who had been praised by Shangfeng, his face was red with excitement, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Empress Dowager Cao quickly went inside to change into an ordinary gown, and carried a royal blue bag out.

Her nurse, Mrs. Anjo, followed her like a frightened bird.

The palace maid who went to find Cheng Dehai has not yet returned.

Empress Dowager Cao thought for a moment and said, "We won't wait. This is to find a way to go to the Mizuki Self-Kissing Pier. ”

Mrs. Ancheng answered "yes" softly, but like the people in the house, she did not follow the Empress Dowager Cao, but two inconspicuous chamberlains followed the Empress Dowager Cao left and right.

Li Qian couldn't help but glance at Mrs. An Cheng.

Empress Dowager Cao had already raised her feet and walked out.

Li Qian hurriedly followed.

Only then did Empress Dowager Cao explain to Li Qian in a low voice: "What the emperor wants is me." Follow me. They are less secure. Besides, we can't take these people with us. ”

Li Qian nodded, and couldn't help but glance at the Empress Dowager Cao again.

He whispered, "I have already instructed my people, if they can get out of danger." The two of them stayed at the Shuimu Self-Kissing Wharf, and the others rushed to the Dehui Palace. ”

Empress Dowager Cao bowed her head, was silent for a few breaths, and said softly: "Cao Guozhu, is it really gone?"

"I didn't see it with my own eyes. Li Qian felt that it was better to make Empress Dowager Cao feel isolated, and it was better for no one to save her except the Li family. Editor, "I had some conflicts with the county lord of Jianan before, resting in the room of the East Palace Gate, because I was in a bad mood and couldn't sleep, I was wandering outside, I heard the sound of swords colliding, followed the sound, and found that there were four or five guards fighting together, and they also drew their swords. But they look like that, but they are all Praetorian Guards. I was so curious that I was about to step forward, when one of them was stabbed to the ground by the other three, and there was no movement.

The gang threw the stabbed man into the grass and went away without fear.

"That's when I felt unusual.

I thought about it for a long time before I walked to the person who was stabbed.

"The man was not dead yet, and when he saw me coming, he only had time to say, 'The Queen Mother is in danger, the commander has been killed,' and he died......

"I didn't know what was going on. Worried about the emperor's safety, he cautiously sneaked into the Renshou Palace, and then realized that it was the emperor's intention to kill Cao Ling.

"I'll just rush over ......"

Empress Dowager Cao's face was pale, her teeth were squeaking, and the monstrous hatred overflowed from her eyes, making Li Qian, who had been led by Li Changqing to climb through the pile of dead people since he was a child, shiver.

He sighed in his heart.

In the past, I still looked down on the Empress Dowager Cao.

If he had more contact with the Empress Dowager Cao and knew more about the Empress Dowager Cao, I don't know if he would have the courage to follow Jiang Zhenyuan!

The group quickly walked through the courtyard to the Paiyun Palace.

The door of the Paiyun Hall was pushed open with a bang.

Zhao Yi and Jiang Zhenyuan appeared in the eyes of Empress Dowager Cao and Li Qian surrounded by several attendants carrying lanterns.

Empress Dowager Cao paused and stared.

Under the light, Zhao Yi's white cheeks rose two clusters of red, his eyes were as bright as stars, flashing with high spirits, full of pride and pride.

And Jiang Zhenyuan's face was half-bright and half-dark in front of the light, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.

Li Qian hurriedly took a few steps forward and blocked in front of the Empress Dowager Cao.

Empress Dowager Cao patted Li Qian's shoulder, motioned for Li Qian to stand aside, and then didn't look at Zhao Yi, her eyes fell on Jiang Zhenyuan's body, and said coldly: "Jiang Zhenyuan, the Zhenguo Mansion has been loyal for generations, and I can't imagine that it will be destroyed in your hands." You are so bold that you dare to instigate the emperor to disobey the queen mother!"

Dear friends, today's update.

PS: The Queen Mother is divided into "Queen Mother" and "Mother Queen Mother". "Queen Mother" refers to the emperor's mother-in-law, that is, the wife of the first emperor. "Our Lady of the Queen Mother" refers to the emperor's biological mother.

Some relatives asked me, explain it here.
