In front of Ciming Palace, dozens of internal guards guarded the palace gate closely, and the palace people of Ciming Palace were not allowed to leave the palace, and people from outside could not enter, only the eunuchs sent by the celebrant to deliver meals could enter and exit.

In such a dead silence, there were nine whips on the other side of the palace road, and there were palace cars coming, and the inner guards all turned their heads to look over, but they saw dozens of palace people holding high bright yellow crank yellow umbrellas, playing red gold oil bone phoenix tail fans, holding golden phoenix incense burners, whisking dust, and behind them was the Fengluan palace car, which came with royal majesty.

The inner guards were all stunned, hurriedly stepped forward to stop, and said in a loud voice: "The Queen Mother is seriously ill, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the Ciming Palace without an edict, go back quickly!" ”

Du Wan, who was next to the car of Fengluan Palace, stepped forward and shouted: "What a big courage, I didn't see that it was the queen mother coming, and I didn't kneel down to say goodbye." ”

The attendants glanced at each other, and they all bowed down: "Say hello to the queen." "They naturally recognize the queen's honor guard and dare not slack off.

Du Wanshi raised her head and said coldly: "The queen mother came to greet the queen mother, and quickly opened the palace gate to welcome the phoenix!" ”

The inner guard got up and still blocked the door: "The queen mother, forgive me, the little ones are ordered to guard the Ciming Palace, no one is allowed to enter, and please return to the palace first, to be summoned by the queen mother." ”

As soon as his words fell, the curtain of the Fengluan Palace car was lifted, and Queen Xu showed her face, she was wearing a phoenix tail skirt in a golden Luan Fengzhai dress, wearing a crown of nine dragons and nine phoenixes, looking at those inner guards dignified and solemn, with a noble face that was not angry but mighty, and said coldly: "Who gave you the courage to dare to stop my honor guard!" The Queen Mother is now sick in bed, the emperor has not returned to the palace in the western suburbs, the affairs in the palace should be decided by me, who gave you the order to prevent me from entering the Ciming Palace to see the Queen Mother? Her voice suddenly raised, "Are you going to make trouble?" ”

Such aggressive questioning was very different from her usual weakness, and it also made those inner guards stunned, and they couldn't speak for a while, so they had to whisper: "Please wait for the mother, and the little one will go in and report it." A chamberlain walked into Cining Palace quickly.

Empress Xu lowered the curtain, but her body was soft, leaning on the soft pillow, and Shen Ruohua, who was sitting in a palace maid's dress on the side, whispered: "Female Doctor Shen, will they really let us go in to see the Queen Mother?" Won't you drive us back again? ”

Shen Ruohua shook his head: "They don't dare, after all, now Niangniang is the rightful master of the Six Palaces, as long as they haven't thought about making a move, they don't dare to stop Niangniang from entering, otherwise this rebellious charge will be confirmed." ”

What she guessed was that the celebrant was only afraid that he would already be controlled by someone with other intentions, so he would take advantage of the fact that the queen mother was seriously ill and the emperor left the palace, and closed the six palaces in a vain attempt to control the inner palace, in order to plot the affairs of the previous dynasty, but they did not move at this time because they were still waiting for the opportunity, or they still had scruples, so they could only go in to see the queen mother as soon as possible and come up with a way before they started.

The inner guards entered Cining Palace all the way, but they turned around a few palaces, stopped at the innermost side hall, and knocked lightly on the door of the palace: "My lord, the queen mother brought someone to the gate of Ciming Palace, and wanted to enter the palace to see the queen mother." He told him all about it.

There was no sound in the hall for a long time, and it took a long time before a shrill laugh came: "Queen Xu actually has such courage, but she thought of coming over with the queen's guard of honor with great fanfare, so it's not good not to let her in, after all, she is also the queen." The voice stopped, and then ordered: "That's it, she's also a useless queen, even if she lets her in, it's nothing, let her in." ”

The inner guard agreed, turned around to leave, and was called by the people in the palace again: "Has King Kang's people sent news?" He didn't go to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the Twelve Guards, why didn't there be any movement at this time! ”

The inner guard said softly: "There is no news yet. ”

"It's really useless, if it weren't for his unstable behavior, most of the DPRK and China would already be in our hands, and we could have tried it slowly, why do we need to take such a risk!" The voice in the hall suddenly turned sharp, "Now that he can't transfer the soldiers and horses, how long can we get off, if we attract those clan vassal kings to join forces with King Qin, it will be a failure!" ”

"Sure enough, it's also useless, it's really not as good as that one!" The voice in the temple gradually lowered, and no more was spoken.

After listening to this, the inner guards retreated without saying a word, walked to the palace gate, and instructed them to let Empress Xu and others enter Ciming Palace.

Until the palace door that had been closed for a long time opened, and their palace car slowly drove in, Queen Xu grabbed Shen Ruohua's hand and said in a trembling voice: "They really let us in, I thought it wouldn't be possible." ”

She turned her face and looked at Shen Ruohua with a worried expression: "What should I do next?" Can we really have a way to save the Queen Mother? ”

Shen Ruohua patted her hand and nodded slightly: "There will be a way, no matter what, you can't stay in Kunning Palace and sit still, if there is really a big mess, it will be difficult for the mother and the imperial heir in the womb to be saved, only if we think together to rescue the queen mother." "I don't know what the situation of the Queen Mother is now, I just hope that she has not been killed by these people.

The car of Fengluan Palace stopped in front of Ciming Palace, Queen Xu helped Du Wanshi's men to get out of the car, and walked towards the hall with her head held high and a majestic face, Shen Ruohua followed behind with her head down in the dress of a palace maid, she could not be recognized, otherwise all plans would be in vain.

They walked to the front of the hall and found that there were many guards in front of the Ciming Palace, the door of the palace was closed, and no palace people dared to enter or leave, and it seemed that the Empress Dowager Shao was in the palace. Empress Xu glanced at the closed palace door, and Du Wan hurriedly said, "Why don't you open the door quickly and let the queen mother go in and say hello to the queen mother." ”

Only then did the inner guards step forward and push open the palace door, but they stopped all the palace maids behind Queen Xu, and they had to be instructed to let Queen Xu in, and they never said that the palace maids could also go in.

Queen Xu was in a hurry, Shen Ruohua was in that group of palace maids, if she didn't go in, how could she see the Queen Mother, know the Queen Mother's condition, and think about how to deal with it.

She gave Du Wanzhi a look, and Du Wanzhi understood and scolded the guards with a straight face: "These are Niangniang's personal palace maids, you stop them, is it possible for the queen mother to personally serve the queen mother with tea and water for a while?!" Don't get out of the way! ”

The inner guard looked at the group of palace maids suspiciously, and had to say: "The queen mother forgives her sins, now the queen mother is seriously ill, I am afraid that these many people will disturb the mother to recuperate, or ......"

Du Wanshi said angrily: "That's it, then just pick one or two and follow in." She pointed to Shen Ruohua and another palace maid on the side: "You two follow the mother in to serve." After that, he helped Queen Xu and went straight into the hall, without looking at the frowning guards on the side.
