Several adults who entered the palace with King Jing and the Nine Kings were all old ministers of the Three Dynasties, and they were highly respected, and King Jing and the Nine Kings came with them, presumably to present something important to the Queen Mother. For a while, I felt that it was difficult to sit still behind the screen, and if I heard them talk about some national affairs or some confidential and important matter, I would just cover my ears and not listen, and no one would believe me. Didn't the Queen Mother make it clear that she was embarrassed for me?

I heard King Jing salute the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother gave her a seat, and said, "Uncle Wang, Qianyi, all the adults, why are you looking for this palace together?" ”

I only heard King Jing say: "Queen Mother, after the emperor left the palace to go to the Taimiao, a lot of things happened in the imperial court, the salt disaster in the south has not been settled, there was an earthquake in Beijing, and General Lin died suddenly, and the folk rumors are everywhere, and the ministers and several adults are deeply worried. ”

"What are the rumors among the people?" The Queen Mother asked.

"Back to the Queen Mother, it is rumored among the people that some people vainly moved to protect the country, resulting in earthquakes and natural disasters, and the country will be in chaos." King Jing said, "Although the imperial court has informed the world of the emperor's holy decree to go to the temple to pray for the blessings of the people of the world, the rumors have not completely subsided. ”

"What?" The Queen Mother exclaimed, "Is there really such a rumor among the people? ”

"Yes, the Queen Mother, you also know that the Protector Shending is an artifact that blesses me with the rivers and mountains of the Tiancao Kingdom." King Jing said, "Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, the ministers believe that they should go to the Taimiao as soon as possible to clarify the matter." ”

The Queen Mother hesitated: "But the emperor is now in the Taimiao, if there is really something to protect the country, how can the emperor not know?" ”

"Queen Mother, the minister is worried that not only the protector of the country will have trouble, but even the emperor may have an accident." King King Jingdao.

The Queen Mother lost her voice and said, "You mean that something happened to the emperor?" ”

"The minister is not sure, but General Lin died suddenly, and there was a lot of discussion in the court, and they all felt that this matter was strange, and the emperor's holy decree was also a little strange." King Jing said, "If the protector god has really been moved, the minister is worried that someone will take the opportunity to disadvantage the emperor......"

"Who is so bold?" The Queen Mother's tone was a little flustered, it was a matter of her son's life and death, and no matter how calm she was, her heart would definitely be in chaos at this time.

"Queen Mother, the minister also thought that he should go to the Taimiao Temple as soon as possible to verify the matter." Jiuwang said, "Yesterday, Uncle Wang was worried that someone would be unfavorable to the emperor, and the minister informed Xiao Wuwang, the commander of the right battalion of the Yulin Army guarding the Taimiao, to step up his precautions overnight, and this morning he really received a secret report from the Yulin Army, and last night there was a man in black of unknown origin who tried to sneak into the Taimiao to assassinate the emperor!" ”

"Is that so?" The Queen Mother exclaimed, "The emperor is fine, right?" ”

"The man in black was discovered by the Yulin Army, and he couldn't even get close to the main hall of the Taimiao." Jiuwang said, "However, the emperor's safety is in danger, and the minister thinks it is more appropriate to determine it in person." ”

King Jing implied that someone who was unfavorable to the emperor was naturally the Nine Kings, and the Nine Kings were not to be outdone, and immediately brought out the assassination of the man in black to hint at King Jing. The matter of Taimiao has nothing to do with the Nine Kings, he naturally will not be weak-hearted, King Jing really started to act last night, but unfortunately the Nine Kings are not fools, and they also made arrangements when they went back. In order to clear the charge of "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes" detained by King Jing, the Nine Kings must be more anxious than King Jing to determine the life and death of the emperor.

"Then, then you go to the Taimiao Temple to see the emperor." The Queen Mother didn't have an idea, so she said in a hurry.

"The Queen Mother, the Yulin Army guarding the Taimiao issued an order, saying that the emperor did not see anyone during the blessing period, and the minister said that he had been turned away." King Jing said, "The ministers are here to ask the Queen Mother to give an order, and the ministers will enter the temple to find out the truth." ”

"Please give an order from the Queen Mother!" Several people spoke in unison, startling me. The Queen Mother said: "Uncle Wang's worries are also the worries of this palace, and this palace makes people draw up their intentions." After a while, no one spoke in the outer room, and after a while, I heard the Queen Mother say: "This palace is very worried about the current situation of the emperor, and this palace will let people go with you for a while." ”

King Jing said: "It is naturally best to have people around the Queen Mother to go." ”

I only heard the Queen Mother say: "Mrs. Ronghua, you come out." ”

I was stunned, what do you want me to go out for? You told me to go out now, why did you let me hide just now? I shook my head, came in as I wished, helped me out from behind the screen, and saw the eyes of a room of people falling on me, bowed my head and bowed: "The concubine has seen the two princes and the lords. ”

King Jing smiled and said, "It turns out that Mrs. Ronghua is also here. ”

The Queen Mother said: "I'll talk to Mrs. Ronghua about raising money for the salt disaster in the south, just right, let Ye'er go with you." ”

Let me follow me to the Taimiao? I looked at the Queen Mother in amazement, King Jing seemed to expect the Queen Mother to say this, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll bother Mrs." But the eyes fell on my feet: "But Madame seems to have difficulty moving......"

"It doesn't matter." I bit my lip and smiled bitterly in my heart, "The mother has a will, and the concubine will go with the prince." "The old man just said yesterday that he would not let the Yun family get involved in this battle, but today the Queen Mother dragged me into the water, which really fulfilled the old saying, "It's a blessing and not a curse, and it can't be avoided." That's it, anyway, I'm also worried about the emperor's current situation, and this trip is actually just what I want.

King Jing and the others withdrew from the edict, and the Queen Mother left me to say a few words: "Ye'er, do you know why the palace still wants you to go with them when you are unable to move?" ”

"Please make it clear to the Queen Mother." I looked down and knew she wasn't asking for my answer at all. Sure enough, the Queen Mother then went down and said: "Hmph, these people came to me to ask for a decree, do they really think that the palace doesn't know anything?" It's just stepping on each other's dog-eat-dog, and I'll believe the news they report back? The Queen Mother turned her eyes to look at me, sighed and said, "Ye girl, now by the side of this palace, only you can be trusted." ”

"The concubine is terrified." I drooped my eyelashes and said no more. Scold...... It's really funny, I have become a "trustworthy" person of the Queen Mother, so to speak, the Queen Mother treats me as a confidant? I don't know if I really trust me, or if I use this as bait to win over the Yun family behind me? His lips pursed tightly, quite displeased. Isn't she already co-opting? Sending me, a "henchman", to the Taimiao with me, wouldn't it be tantamount to telling King Jing, the Nine Kings, and the courtiers that the Yun family was on her side? No matter how much trouble you guys make, you have to be a little afraid of the Yun family! What a sinking scheming, Queen Mother.

Seeing that I didn't answer, the Queen Mother took my hand and said quietly: "Ye girl, this palace treats you like a daughter, and I am not afraid of your jokes." After the emperor ascended the throne, although he also rewarded the Si family, but in the imperial court, in the end, he was only a new minister, and in the face of those high-powered ministers, even the palace had to bow his head and endure it......

If it weren't for the fact that I had seen this lady "change her face" before, I was afraid that I would really be moved by her heart-wrenching words, right? I'm afraid I'm really going to be smudged for her "value", right? I listened quietly to her chatter, Jingci Empress Dowager Si Hongyue, can survive in this intriguing harem and ascend to the throne of the Queen Mother, her scheming is self-evident, but in the end, she was born in a poor family, even if she is now the queen mother, she also lacks some of the wisdom of the heart, so those scheming and means are naturally inferior.

Seeing that I had not answered, the Queen Mother stopped her mouth stupidly, paused for a moment, and said: "That's it, this palace is too worried about the emperor, and I am dizzy, you can go with King Jing and them." ”

"The queen mother takes care of the phoenix body, and the concubines retire." I saluted, and the Queen Mother passed Ruyi to help me withdraw from Yining Palace. King Jing and the others waited outside the palace, the carriage was ready, Xiaohong helped me into the car, the two princes and the adults got into their respective carriages, and the convoy went to the direction of the Taimiao.

There are about two kilometers away from the Taimiao, our convoy was stopped by a team of Yulin Army, King Jing showed the Queen Mother's decree, Yulin Army's tone revealed hesitation, was scolded by King Jing with a fierce face, I lifted a corner of the car curtain to look out, saw that the Yulin army commander was a little familiar, thought about it, recognized him was the young man who had been reprimanded by Yun Zheng near Guanyin Temple, this person had a low military rank, at this time by the two princes and the identity of the ministers, plus there is the queen mother's decree, Even if the emperor ordered that no one should be allowed to enter the temple, I am afraid that he would not be able to stop him for long. Sure enough, after the captain was reprimanded by King Jing for a while, he blushed and stepped aside, and let a Yu Linlang go to the pass in front to report the news, but he was let go here.
