Two days later, the carriage of Guo's mansion, accompanied by a group of guards of the forbidden army, drove towards the city gate.

And the person who will sit on the horse, in the eyes of the people who accompanied him, is Guo Yi and his wife, as well as the other party's two-year-old son.

But I'm afraid no one would have thought that Shen Mu, who had just been crowned by Empress Dowager Chen yesterday, replaced Shen Mu, who had returned to his hometown, and became the new Guo Yi of the Six Shangshu.

Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager Chen, Xiao Jinxuan, who hated her the most, hid in the carriage and took the other party outside the city gate in a grand manner.

Speaking of Guo Yi's sharp mouth, coupled with his eloquent ability, it is indeed unmatched in the Great Zhou court.

Two days ago, he was temporarily entrusted by Xiao Jinxuan to enter the palace to pretend to be loyal to the Empress Dowager Chen, under some encouragement and persuasion.

Empress Chen, who was already in power for the first time, stood at the peak of imperial power.

Under the power of the government and the opposition, she, like the previous rulers, will inevitably begin to be suspicious, and she is even more worried that one day she will fall directly from the position of honor.

Therefore, when Guo Yi talked about Zhou Xianrui's administration, how he was depressed, and Xiao Jinxuan, the person who had promoted him, also ignored him.

immediately expressed his allegiance to Empress Chen, and Guo Yi did not forget to kindly remind the Queen Mother.

Now Xiangping has controlled the harem, and when the other party and Xiao Yijun, the second master of the Shuaifu, get married, there will be more than 100,000 troops behind him, and he really can't help but guard against it.

In fact, Guo Yi dared to say such things directly, if Empress Chen was angry, his situation would be dangerous.

But before entering the palace, Xiao Jinxuan had already analyzed that according to her understanding of Ji Lingfeng, the other party was lurking next to Xiangping, not just to save his life.

Now that Zhou Xianrui is dead, the Empress Dowager Chen, who is easy to be swayed, is in power, Xiao Jinxuan feels that Ji Lingfeng will inevitably probe the greedy ** to the front of the dynasty through Xiangping.

After all, she and Ji Lingfeng have been married for many years in their previous life, and Xiao Jinxuan knows better than anyone that the other party's desire for power is almost enchanted.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan directly gave Guo Yi a move, and gambled that Xiangping was not staying in the palace now, but had been involved in the affairs of the previous dynasty.

After all, although this move is a risky move, Guo Yi is not a cronie of Empress Chen, and she is too close to Xiao Jinxuan in the past.

Therefore, he must leave Empress Dowager Chen with an iron-clad sense of straightforwardness and talent and strategy, which is enough to make the other party feel excited, so as to trust him.

And it is true that as Xiao Jinxuan expected, the biggest distress of Empress Chen now is that her once most intimate daughter Xiangping has now become a rather upset existence since she took power.

Although Xiangping thought that she was sharing her worries as an excuse, he always interfered in the affairs of the previous dynasty.

And what made Empress Chen feel most dissatisfied was that when he was in the last dynasty, Xiangping sat on the side three times and listened to the government.

Maybe when Zhou Xianrui was alive, Empress Chen was suppressed by this virtuous emperor's son, so she would be very useful for Xiangping's advice.

But now that Empress Chen feels that she has mastered the power of the court, Xiangping's fingers will arouse her disgust and even vigilance.

So it happened that when Empress Chen felt that she couldn't blindly rely on Xiangping and wanted to build up her own power, Guo Yi came.

And looking at the other party's high-minded talk, she told all the worries in her heart without bad, what Empress Chen lacks most now is someone like Guo Yi to assist.

Therefore, under her promise from a high-ranking official, Guo Yi also pushed the boat down the river, and directly made a look of greed for power and love for money, and all of them were laughed at.

Immediately afterwards, Guo Yi looked loyal, and according to the plan discussed in advance, he informed Chen Hou that Xiao Jinxuan had contacted him privately, and made an appointment to meet outside the city, and the other party wanted to seek his help.

Although Empress Chen was quite different from how Xiao Jinxuan escaped from Beijing, she saw that Guo Yi swore that as long as she gave him a pair of men and horses to go out of the city.

Go to the Rabbit Ridge City God Temple where Xiao Jinxuan met, and you will definitely be able to capture the other party alive.

Empress Chen, who had already decided that Xiao Jinxuan was the murderer, naturally couldn't wait to respond immediately, so now Guo Yi can go out of the city in such a grand manner.

And Xiao Jinxuan, who was sitting in the carriage, kept warning Xiao Zhou Yi not to talk nonsense, and then lowered her voice and said to Guo Yi:

"I don't know what month I don't know when I say goodbye, Guo Yi, you must remember to protect your life, and being with traitors is not a good choice for forbearance, at least your goodwill two days ago was exchanged for the important position of the six Shangshu now. Only if you protect yourself first, can you do your best for the Great Zhou. ”

Although Xiao Jinxuan already knew that she was from Beirong, after all, she grew up in the Great Zhou Dynasty since she was a child, not only did she have a lifelong relationship with Zhou Xianyu, but the former Ming Emperor treated her well.

Therefore, in Xiao Jinxuan's heart, Beirong is unfamiliar, but the land of Da Zhou is the place she is most familiar with and has feelings.

After all, in order to protect this mountain and river, she also put a lot of effort into it, and the tumor of the Xue family in Xiangfu can also be said to be eliminated by her.

suppressed the harem and monopolized power, Xiao Jinxuan paid too much for this land of the Great Zhou.

Therefore, whenever she thought about it, she got rid of Xue Yi, a group of people with rebellious intentions.

However, it achieved the power of Empress Chen's mother and daughter, which is not a rather embarrassing result.

After listening to Xiao Jinxuan's admonition, Guo Yi couldn't help but nod with a wry smile, then shrugged her shoulders and said:

"The county lord doesn't need to worry about Guo Yi, he knows what to do. It's just that my pretending to defect to Empress Chen will inevitably provoke a scolding from future generations. But I, Guo Yi, have a clear conscience, and I am relieved when I talk and laugh at the criticism of this world. But you, county lord, once we get to Rabbit Ridge, Guo Yi and I will have to return to Beijing and can't see each other. You took the little prince to Beirong alone, this journey is not easy. ”

Seeing that this would have passed through the city gate smoothly, Xiao Jinxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a hint of heaviness in her expression:

"It's better to be in the capital than to stay in Beijing and wait for death, Guo Yi and I have all the things you can do, if the family teacher can't find the medicine, it will be difficult for me to survive for two years. Xianyu went to Gansu, and it would take several months to go back and forth, and if he found the medicine and went straight to the Crescent City where the family teacher Ding Lao was, then it would probably take more than half a year to return to the Beijing Division. ”

Having said this, Xiao Jinxuan's eyes were full of worry, and then she saw that she was overthinking, and her head was faintly swollen and painful, but she continued to say:

"So I don't have time to wait for him to come back, and I'm not going straight to Beijung. After all, my background is clear to both mother and daughter, so if I escape, Ji Lingfeng will definitely plan to go to the direction of Beirong to track down my whereabouts. Therefore, I will take Yi'er to the Crescent City on the border of Daliang first, if I am fortunate enough to meet with my family teacher and have the protection of his old man, I will definitely be more secure in turning back to the north. ”

I heard that Xiao Jinxuan had already thought about the whole plan, and Guo Yi had always admired the other party's foresight, so she didn't say anything.

And with a stick of incense, seeing that it was almost to Rabbit Ridge, Guo Yi couldn't help but chuckle and suddenly asked:

"County Lord, you are really sure that once Ji Lingfeng knows that I am leaving the capital, the other party will really be able to guess that I am escorting you out of the city. And he dared to ignore the will of the Empress Dowager Chen and chase directly to this City God Temple, then he was too bold. ”

As soon as she heard this, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but smile, but said with an extremely confident expression:

"Don't worry, Guo Yi, since I am leaving Jingshi, although I can't immediately settle the new and old hatreds with Chen Hou and the party. But before leaving, I will also give Ji Lingfeng a big gift, so that he will be completely jealous of Empress Chen. As long as the relationship between them is divided, Guo Yi's position will be firm, and it will be more valued by Empress Dowager Chen. With you secretly helping each other, and Meng Mian protecting each other on the surface, even if the emperor is walking on thin ice, he can still hold on after all. ”

In Xiao Jinxuan's heart, Zhou Xianchen is the same age as Xiao Wenyao, so there is no difference between her and her own brother.

In addition, the relationship between the two of them has always been close, so Xiao Jinxuan is indeed planning carefully for the other party, secretly sending Guo Yi and Meng Mian, these two important ministers to each other's side to assist, it can really be described as painstaking.

And when the City God Temple arrived, Xiao Jinxuan quietly got off the back door at the same time that Guo Yi ordered the forbidden army to disperse and surround the City God Temple.

Seeing that the forbidden armies around her were all branched out, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but feel at ease and took the opportunity to tell Guo Yi again:

"You just stay here and wait for Ji Lingfeng to come, I'll enter the temple now, as for how to escape, you don't have to worry about me, I hope you and I will say goodbye today, and he will meet tomorrow."

Hearing this, Guo Yi thought that when he met Xiao Jinxuan, he was just a crazy person in the eyes of others, and it was the other party who gave him the opportunity to show his ambitions.

In the face of Xiao Jinxuan's kindness, Guo Yi has always felt that the other party is his Bole.

Therefore, seeing that the separation was imminent, Xiao Jinxuan must have a difficult road ahead, so Guo Yi hurriedly handed the prepared fifty taels of silver to the other party.

"County Lord, you are alone and still leading a child, and it is not a good thing to bring too much money. These fifty taels are all broken silver, and it is convenient for you to spend them on the road, so as not to attract the prying eyes of others. Guo Yi is useless and can only do so much for you, the lord of Wanwang must protect himself and return to Beirong safely. ”

Parting is always the most sad and melancholy, but although Xiao Jinxuan is very uncomfortable, there will be no more time, so that she can use it to calm down.

So after giving Guo Yi one, the other party could smile with confidence.

Immediately, Xiao Jinxuan turned around, didn't stop for anything, picked up Xiao Zhou Yi, and walked briskly towards the City God Temple.

And after Xiao Jinxuan knocked on the wooden door of the inner courtyard of the temple, it didn't take long for a woman's quiet voice to come from the door with a puzzled tone

"Who came early this morning, if the pilgrims invite them to the City God Hall to worship by themselves, this backyard is a place for people in the temple to rest, I hope to forgive me for the inconvenience."

As soon as she heard the familiar voice of the woman in the courtyard, Xiao Jinxuan really had the illusion of being a world away and returning to a few years ago.

After approaching her to calm down, he immediately lowered his voice and said:

"Liangjun, open the door, I'm Jinxuan, Xiao Jinxuan. I haven't seen you for a year, but you're all fine, and it's really helpless to ask you for mercy today, and after entering the inner courtyard, I'm talking to you about the reason. ”
