In order to prevent Su Sui from exposing all the things he had done in front of the emperor, the wicked people sued first, and wrote a lot of bad things about Su Sui, saying that he deliberately bribed the soldiers and made them loyal to him, not to the court, saying that he had problems with his decision-making, was not good at fighting, and played some intrigues and tricks.

When the emperor saw these contents, he was very annoyed and even more afraid of Su Sui's power, and he said in the court that the prison army had fabricated these contents, saying that he would recall Su Sui.

Some of the ministers supported the emperor's decision, but most of the ministers knew Su Sui's character, he would never be selfish, so that the soldiers could be loyal in order to unite as one and twist into a force to fight the enemy.

Su Sui is the pillar of the generals, how many victories have he fought over the years, his decision-making naturally has his reasons, otherwise those victories are all made by messing around?

Although the ministers are deceitful and fighting non-stop on weekdays, when facing Su Sui, everyone's opinions are very unanimous, because if Su Sui is recalled, they will not be able to stay in the capital in peace, and the generals of the faction are not at ease.

In the opposition of the ministers, the emperor thought of a compromise and sent a respected veteran to be the commander-in-chief, and Su became the deputy commander-in-chief, and all the decisions he made had to be approved by the commander-in-chief, which was also to test whether the soldiers in the barracks were only finally Su Sui and not the imperial court.

The veteran went to the army, and after learning about Su Sui's practices and behavior on the spot, he did not feel that he had done anything wrong, but was extremely good, and he did not criticize Su Sui harshly.

Not long after, the veteran's aged and injured body finally couldn't withstand the toss of the simple military camp life, and he fell ill all of a sudden.

The veteran saw that he could not play a role at all, and he was afraid that he would delay the war, so he secretly handed over the military power to Su Sui, and did not mention it in the report to the emperor.

At this time, in the imperial city, in the Renshan Palace where the Queen Mother lived, the emperor knelt in front of the Queen Mother and implored the Queen Mother to stay in the palace.

The Queen Mother has been fasting and reciting Buddha, and recently she feels that there is an undercurrent surging in the court, and someone has found him again, trying to win her over, stirring her up so that she can't meditate.

She saw that there might be greater turmoil in the imperial court in the future, and she didn't want to get involved, nor did she want her mother's family to get involved, so she simply made a decision to become a nun and become a nun.

"If the queen mother leaves, she will not ask about political affairs at all, and I will carry such a heavy burden on my shoulders, and I will not have anyone to talk to. I let you go to that bitter place, you can't do your filial piety well, how can you let your son bear it. ”

The queen mother twisted the Buddhist beads in her hand, stood up and helped the emperor up, pressed him on the chair and sat down, and said to him: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, the queen mother has never been clear about political affairs, and the queen mother is old and just wants to live a quiet life for a few days." The queen mother of the queen's family has seen it, and in order not to make it difficult for the emperor in the future, the queen mother still left far away. ”

The emperor wanted to interject, but the queen mother stopped him and said to him: You listen to me first. ”

The emperor had no choice but to obey.

The Queen Mother said: "The Queen Mother has been thrifty all these years, and she doesn't feel that the place is bitter. As long as the emperor can govern the country well, get close to loyal ministers, stay away from villains, and manage the country in a clear and peaceful manner, it is the greatest filial piety to the queen mother. The queen mother went here, not only for her own tranquility, but also for the well-being and joy of the emperor and future generations, and also for the peace and blessing of the common people in the world. Therefore, the burden on the queen mother is also very heavy, and the emperor will stop persuading the queen mother. ”

Only then did the emperor say what he wanted to say: "The queen mother's family has always been careful in its duties, and it will not be like the queen's family, and the son is still very clear about this." ”

This is not the first time he has come to persuade the Queen Mother, but every time the Queen Mother does not waver in her determination, he has to give up and agree to the Queen Mother's request.

When he returned to his palace, he lost his temper with the chamberlain, and said that the queen mother insisted on going her own way, and did not consider his position at all, and the queen mother of a country actually went out of the palace as a nun, which let the people know what they would think of him, and those who understood said that the queen mother was voluntary, and those who did not understand must think that he treated the queen mother harshly, and was not close to the queen mother, or the queen mother committed some crime of insulting the royal family and was punished by him out of the palace.

But no matter what he thought, the queen mother set a date to leave the palace, in order to reflect the importance of the queen mother, the emperor asked the daughter of a wealthy family in the capital to go to the temple to send the queen mother.

Su Wanyan was naturally among the ladies who went, her frame lined up behind the crown princess Qiu Yulin, and she slowly moved forward with the mighty convoy of fragrant cars and BMWs, from early in the morning to the afternoon.

Now that the queen has died, Qiu Yulin is the lady with the highest status in the royal family, so after getting off the car, she went to serve the queen mother, Su Wanyan was similar, and hurriedly rushed to help the queen mother get out of the car, and accompanied the queen mother into Zhengjue Temple with Qiu Yulin.

Zhengjue Temple is the largest temple near the capital to accommodate nuns, and some of the nuns in Zhengjue Temple are from the royal degraded concubines, and a large part of them are official women.

There has long been a host to lead the monks to greet the queen mother, to the queen mother, a series of ceremonies are held in a step-by-step manner, the female dependents can rest in the temple temporarily, there are willing to return to Beijing immediately to return to Beijing, and some feel that those who are tired can stay and rest for a night.

Su Wanyan said that it was impossible to return to Beijing immediately, and she would not leave until the Queen Mother settled down.

After dark, she returned to the courtyard arranged for herself to rest after serving the Queen Mother, and as soon as she sat down, she saw Duanmu Rui suddenly open the door and come in.

"Why are you here too?" Su Wanyan was overjoyed and asked with a smile.

"The emperor sent me to secretly escort the Queen Mother, but I didn't expect to be chased by assassins, and I was trapped in the temple." Duanmu Rui said and looked out of the window vigilantly.

Su Wanyan was shocked, "Isn't it another trick of the emperor?" ”

"Who else but him." Duanmu Rui asked her with concern, "How is it, is it hard today?" ”

Su Wanyan pouted, "It's not hard work, you just have to accompany you all the time." ”

She can show this attitude because the Queen Mother is not Duanmu Rui's biological mother, and the relationship between them is also very distant.

Duanmu Rui rubbed the top of her hair and comforted her: "You can go back tomorrow, just bear with it." ”

Su Wanyan nodded and didn't say anything more.

At this moment, someone suddenly shot an arrow from the outside, through the window and directly at Su Wanyan, who deftly dodged.

Duanmu Rui saw that the archery shooter was on the opposite roof, pulled Su Wanyan to avoid the position directly opposite the window, and then broke into several assassins through the window, slashing at them indiscriminately, the two of them worked together to deal with it, but the assassins couldn't help them.

They took the opportunity to destroy the back wall, ran out from behind, ran for a while, and encountered the assassin of Duanmu Rui, and the assassin who assassinated Su Wanyan also quickly caught up, Duanmu Rui glanced at the back mountain, pulled Su Wanyan and ran over, and in the process of being chased and killed today, he found that there was a terrain that was extremely favorable to them.

After running closer, Su Wanyan also found the benefits here, there was a narrow pit valley in the back mountain, the two of them ran through the pit valley to the mountain, and the two groups of people who assassinated them chased after them together, and saw them standing on the edge of the cliff halfway up the mountainside, it seemed that there was no way to escape, as long as they went up through this narrow pit valley, they could succeed.

Both sides were anxious and wanted to complete the task through the pit valley first, but they couldn't reach an agreement for a while, so they fought.

Duanmu Rui and Su Wanyan watched them fight from above, and they both felt funny, and even pushed down many stones from the mountain and rolled down, and soon heard a wail below, taking advantage of this opportunity, the two ran back to the temple from other roads.

On the way, Duanmu Rui said: "They may have to fight for a while, you go back and tell the Queen Mother, find the guards to help, and when they find out that Zhongji will come back to you, you don't have to be afraid." ”

"What about you? Why didn't the guards come with you? Su Wanyan said strangely.

"I was temporarily sent by the emperor, they have other tasks, but they should be able to come soon, and besides, I will be fine without them, don't worry."

Su Wanyan returned to the temple and found that the movement just now had alarmed the female dependents, and they all gathered together to discuss the matter. She immediately went to the Queen Mother to report that she had been assassinated, and the Queen Mother recited "Amitabha" vigorously, ordering the guards to protect the safety of the female dependents, and she didn't care about the rest, probably not at all.

The assassins on both sides quickly reacted and quickly rushed back to the temple, and found that something was wrong, so the royal guards escorted many female dependents out of here and ran to a safe place in the temple.

Su Wanyan was a little slow to move because she was worried about Duanmu Rui, as if she had been pushed by someone, she fell to the ground, and the guards didn't notice it when it was dark, so they closed the courtyard door and someone locked it from the outside.

In the chaos, Su Wanyan didn't see who pushed her, but the courtyard door was locked by Qiu Yulin, and she pretended to ask if anyone hadn't come out, and then quickly locked the door, looking at Su Wanyan's figure from the crack in the door, with a sinister smile on the corner of her mouth.

In addition to the dead and wounded, there were seven or eight people on both sides, Su Wanyan struggled to support for a while, Duanmu Rui rushed over, and his subordinates also came, their side quickly gained the upper hand, Duanmu Rui secretly gestured to leave one or two alive.

At this moment, suddenly a hidden arrow shot at Su Wanyan out of nowhere, Su Wanyan didn't check, seeing that she was about to be hit by the arrow, Duanmu Rui subconsciously pushed her away, and the arrow hit him in the chest.

The force of the arrow was very strong, pushing Duanmu Rui back a few steps, and the whole arrow pierced through his chest cavity and peeked out from behind.

Su Wanyan was shocked and trembled with fear, she hurriedly stepped forward to support Duanmu Rui, a stream of blood had gushed out from the corner of his mouth, and then he passed out.

Seeing that he was wounded, his men divided two men to find the archers, and the rest accelerated their attacks, and finally caught one alive, ready to leave a confession.

Su Wanyan examined Duanmu Rui's arrow wound, fortunately it didn't hurt his heart, but his lungs must have been penetrated. She hurriedly went to report to the Queen Mother, and after the Queen Mother allowed it, she carefully sent him back to the palace overnight with his men.

That night, Su Wanyan took out the arrows on his body with the help of Duanmu Rui's guards, and a lot of blood was inevitably shed, and Duanmu Rui looked even weaker.

He had a lung injury and couldn't breathe, so if it was in modern times, he could have been on a ventilator right away, but in ancient times there was no such thing, and it was also necessary to prevent infection of the injured area, and if the internal wound spread, it was very likely that he would die of respiratory distress.

Su Wanyan saw that although it was a little difficult for him to breathe, he could still maintain it, so he hurriedly prepared a lot of herbs with anti-inflammatory effects and boiled them for Duanmu Rui to drink.

Unfortunately, Nangong Qiu Ni has been traveling far away recently, and she is not in the mansion, her medical skills are better, otherwise Su Wanyan would not be in such a hurry.

Early the next morning, Duanmu Rui's subordinates interrogated the assassin and there was a result, he was sent by the emperor's side, and naturally only confessed to the emperor, which for Su Wanyan could only say "That's the case" in her heart, and nothing else.

Duanmu Rui's serious injury had to be reported to the emperor, Su Wanyan personally entered the palace, and the emperor took this opportunity to let her get close to Duanmu Rui and gain his trust, so that she could hear the news from him in the future.
