"In accordance with the emperor's holy will, the queen mother's mercy, the palace maid Qing Kite has a good temperament, gentle and gentle, Yu De Xianjia, since entering the palace to engage in the wrong thing, won the holy will, Zite was promoted to the second rank of the imperial attendant, gave the marriage to the martial arts captain Helian Che, and chose an auspicious day to complete the marriage!" The high voice of the great eunuch echoed throughout the Shengning Palace.

The main hall was silent, and many people still did not recover from the marriage.

Seeing a man and a woman kneeling on the ground to receive the decree of thanksgiving, Xu Yushu's eyes were full of unwillingness, and something called jealousy gradually sprouted into resentment, which quietly sprouted in her heart and grew wildly.

A grand palace banquet finally ended in a lot of discussions.

In the study of Taishi's Mansion, Helian Zhu was pacing back and forth anxiously, and when the guy who delivered tea came in, he asked him to urgently find Helian Chu to come over.

After a while, the door to the study was pushed open.

"Father!" Helian Chu walked in and saw Helian Zhu standing uncomfortably and burning his eyebrows, and he was surprised in his heart.

Here, Helian Zhu was full of sadness, and when he saw Helian Chu coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled his hand, and said urgently: "It's just right!" For the father, you need to go to Chengji's mansion. ”

With that, he hurried to the bookcase, picked up a brush and wrote something, and stuffed it into the envelope before the ink on the letter paper was dry.

handed the envelope into Helian Chu's hand, and said with a serious expression: "Remember, this letter must be handed over to Cheng Ji by hand!" ”

Helian Chu didn't know why, looked at Helian Zhu, and replied respectfully: "Yes!" ”

I couldn't help asking: "Didn't my father go to the Queen Mother's birthday banquet?" What the hell is going on? Why is the complexion so ugly? ”

Helian Zhu didn't plan to talk to him, but now that he asked, he would open up by the way.

"Do you know about Helian Che's marriage?"

"Yes!" Helian Chu felt more and more strange, "Didn't Helian Che and the cheap maid of the green kite marry her father make it happen?" In order to cut off the alliance between the Queen Mother and Helian Che and the Ministry of War, now that the matter has been successful, shouldn't my father be happy? ”

"Confused!" Helian Zhu shouted bitterly: "It's all because I can't distinguish clearly, if the Queen Mother really wants to form an alliance with the military department Shangshu, then how can she ignore Helian Che and Qing Kite's marriage at the birthday banquet today?" The strange thing in this is that this marriage is Xiang Zhuang's sword dance, which is intended for Pei Gong! Maybe that slut has already made up his mind to deal with me, and he just wants to take advantage of the big wedding to attack me, so what does it matter who marries Helian Che? ”

"What does Father mean?" Helian Chu, who heard what Helian Note said, also realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately felt puzzled: "If it is as my father said, if the Queen Mother wants to attack us, why don't you just marry that cheap maid and Helian Che?" Why do you need to beat around the bush and go around the bush to come out of the military department? ”

Helian Note was not without doubts about this, but he quickly figured it out again, Empress Liang's purpose was to attack the west, and when he was busy dealing with Helian Che's marriage with the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, I am afraid that Empress Liang had already arranged the killing situation.

Now, Helian suddenly has a sense of crisis of stepping into a trap.

didn't explain much, but solemnly instructed Helian Chu: "Quickly hand over this letter to Cheng Ji, tell him, take the fireworks as a letter, and if there is any change in my house, ask him to send troops to help quickly!" ”

"Yes!" Helian Chu made a gesture and withdrew with a solemn expression.

Staring at his distant back, Helian Zhu's heart was very heavy, and he secretly thought about how to resolve this crisis.

The late autumn nights are slightly cooler.

Behind the water-colored curtain as thin as the wings of a cicada, the back of the beam supported the temples, closed his eyes and rested, and the golden thread outlining the phoenix on the dark gauze robe covered the entire soft couch like flowing water in the jumping candlelight.

The incense burner not far away burns the golden cinnamon incense, and the green smoke rises from the incense lid with complex patterns, and gathers into a light and fluttering "ribbon", which disperses with the wind, leaving the fragrance of the hall in vain.

From time to time, footsteps stepped into the hall, stopped in front of the water-colored curtain, and said: "Queen Mother! ”

Hearing the sound, the tail of his eyes opened half a slit, and when he saw that it was Tang Luo, he closed his eyes again, and asked slowly: "Is the matter done?" ”

Tang raised his eyes slightly, looked at Liang Hou with a comfortable expression behind the curtain, and replied in a deep voice: "Empress Dowager, it's all done!" ”

After a pause, he said: "But there is one thing, the ministers think that they must be clear to the Queen Mother." According to our eyeliner, Wu Zuogu entered the palace overnight and went to Danxia Palace to ask for a meeting with the emperor, probably because he suspected that there was a change in the military camp. ”

"What did you say?" Liang Hou opened his eyes suddenly, propped up his upper body slightly, and his expression suddenly changed viciously: "This is what you said has been done?" The mourning family clearly said not to attract attention, this is how you fooled the mourning family? What about Helian Che? Bring him to the mourning family, and the mourning family wants to see what he does. ”

"Don't be impatient, the matter has indeed been done," Tang Luo bowed his head, "After all, Captain Helian is mobilizing people in the military camp, if you want to be unaware, it is really impossible, although Wu Zuogu is suspicious of the mutiny, but there is no definite evidence, fortunately, the emperor does not believe it, but accuses Wu Zuogu of being suspicious of ghosts, and scares himself, saying that the talisman has been lost as early as the period of the first emperor." ”

Saying this, Liang Hou's upturned upper body leaned back again, his expression returned to normal, he supported his temples, and said, "Since that's the case, why do you have to say this?" The mourners only need to know the results, and the rest ...... Unimportant! ”

Tang was slightly silent, standing behind the water-colored curtain for a long time, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Empress Liang seemed to have already understood his thoughts, and said slowly: "Do you still want to ask the mourning family about the Qing Kite being accused of marrying Helian Che?" Worried that on the night of the wedding, her safety will be affected by Helian Bet? ”

Tang was slightly stunned, and immediately hugged his fists and knelt down on one knee: "Disturbing the Queen Mother Qingning, Your Majesty is guilty!" ”

"Okay, you don't have to be like this, you are the fiancé of the green kite, if you don't worry about her, the mourning family will feel strange. However, there is one thing, the mourning family must remind you that as the price used by Helian Che for the mourning family, the green kite will be Helian Che's person in the future, and she can only serve the mourning family and stay by Helian Che's side, so you still put away your thoughts. ”

Tang lowered his head slightly and was silent, his eyes were deep, and he remembered something.

Rewind to a few hours ago.

Helian Che, who had just come out of the Shengning Palace, was suddenly blocked by a long sword.

Tang Luo, who was holding the sword, had a gloomy expression and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Tang Guard?" Helian Che raised an eyebrow.

He looked down at the long sword lying across his neck, and said in a cold tone: "What is Guard Tang doing?" ”

"Why did you agree to this marriage? You know how dangerous it is, and you still watch her step into it! ”

"Do I have a chance to resign?" Helian Che stared at him fixedly.

"You talk nonsense! How could there be no chance? Tang Luo withdrew his long sword and grabbed Helian Che's shirt fiercely, his eyes were red: "You are just using her, using her to avenge your personal vendetta!" He didn't care about her life or death! You scum don't deserve to marry her! ”

Helian Che sneered: "What right do you have to accuse me? If you really think about her, why didn't you remind her sooner when you knew the plan was dangerous? Why did you stop her from leaving at the birthday party just now? If you think about it, are you so angry now, is it for her safety, or is it ......"

Speaking of this, Helian Che's eyes suddenly sharpened, and even his voice was mixed with a little coldness: "Or do you have a crush on her in your heart, and now you are just blinded by jealousy?" ”

His words were like cold water pouring down on his head, pouring Tang Luo to wake up in an instant, his expression was stunned, and he didn't even let go of the hand holding his clothes.

In this way, the deeply hidden things in my heart were easily revealed.

"It seems that you are really pleased with her." Helian Che's ancient waterless eyes blew through the gloomy cold wind, and the slightest ripple swept away.

Tang Luo's awakened look suddenly made Helian Che begin to regret it, maybe he shouldn't have reminded him to face up to his feelings at all.

However, the overall situation has not been achieved at the moment, and it is by no means the time to be jealous, since Tang Luo is interested in the green kite, maybe he can be an important chess piece in the entire chess game.

After a moment of silence, Helian Che straightened up the clothes that were being torn up, and said in a deep voice: "Actually, I want to protect the green kite just like you, and there are ways to protect her from it now, it depends on whether you are willing to help." ”

As soon as he heard that there was a way to protect her, Tang Luo's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What way?" ”

"What is this method......" He paused halfway through his words, glanced at Tang Luo, who was full of anticipation, and deliberately sold a pass: "However, why should I believe you?" ”

Tang was slightly stunned, reacted and said firmly: "She is my only relative in this world, I must protect her!" You're just afraid that I'll leak out if I know about the plan, and it's okay if you don't believe me, I can cut off my tongue! ”

After saying that, he drew his sword, and the light in his eyes suddenly became fierce, and he was about to stab it when he aimed it at his mouth.

"Enough!" Helian Che grabbed the arm in time, his eyes were dark, and he was secretly puzzled by Tang Luo's sentence "She is my only relative in this world", but he didn't ask any further.

"Actually, the solution is very simple, you only need to pass a message to the Queen Mother for me, and then lead the garrison of the Siege Mansion that was originally scheduled to be commanded by me on the night of the wedding."

"I'm in charge of the garrison of the besieging mansion?" Tang was slightly puzzled, and asked again: "What about you?" ”

"Me?" Helian Che replied with a very provocative smile, "Of course it's the lady who protects me." "There is also Helian Note, the old thief, who has a grudge against him, and he must slash Helian Note to comfort the soul of his deceased mother in the sky.

His eyes were cold, and he heard Tang Luo say, "Okay, I promise you!" What other message do you need me to convey in front of the Queen Mother? ”

Helian Che seemed to be smiling, and replied: "In front of the Queen Mother, I said that General Wu Zuogu suspected that the military camp mutiny, and asked to see the emperor late at night, but the emperor called him a mediocre and disturbed himself, and the talisman had already been lost in the period of the first emperor. ”

Empress Liang is suspicious and suspicious, and now he handed over the talisman to him, if he wants to call the generals under the nose of Wu Zuogu, it is impossible to be unaware, and Empress Liang also knows this, once things develop too smoothly, it is easy to arouse suspicion, so he must create a reason to convince Empress Liang completely.

Wu Zuogu asked to see the emperor, which is an excellent reason.

And at the same time as he said this, Tang Luo had already guessed everything, thinking that Helian Che was already the emperor's faction, and naturally thought about the emperor's regime everywhere, and now Empress Liang wanted to take advantage of the big wedding to kill Helian Zhu, the whole plan is likely to be that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and Empress Liang tries his best to make wedding dresses for others in the end, and the emperor's purpose is to use her hand to kill Helian Zhu and achieve the unity of the regime.

Helian Che saw his thoughtful appearance in his eyes, and only assumed that Tang Luo acquiesced, and even if he had different intentions, it didn't matter.

Since he can let Tang Luo know the whole plan, he is not afraid of him betraying, and he has the preparation and means to destroy him at any time.

And Tang Luo didn't care how the court forces fought openly and secretly, in his opinion, as long as he could protect his only concern in this world, his life would be enough.
