On the road.

Li Yun sat in the car with his eyes closed, and Gai Nie sat next to him.

"Your Majesty, I don't think Lin Xiang will really help you!" Gai Nie said.

Li Yun slowly opened his eyes, "I know, but I don't expect him to really help me." ”

Lin Xiang is very cautious and cautious, and today he agreed to cooperate, which shows that he understands very well in his heart that as long as I step down, his strength can no longer restrain the Queen Mother, and when the time comes, the Queen Mother will inevitably deal with him. ”

"But even so, it hasn't driven him to a dead end, so he's still waiting to see if my chess piece is worth his help. ”

"And his purpose is only to use me, if the cost is too great, he will not do his best for me as a pawn. ”

"Moreover, I don't expect him to help me much, and cooperating with him is just a delaying tactic, as long as I have nominal relations with Lin Xiang, then the Queen Mother will pay more attention to Lin Xiang, in this way, the safer I will be, and I, to establish my own power during this time, only in this way, can I have a chance to win a glimmer of life in this war." ”

"Also, since he doesn't really help me, I don't have to really help him, not only is it not sincere, but when he is in power, we have to suppress him. ”

"Suppress him, wouldn't that increase the power of the Queen Mother?" asked Gai Nie suspiciously.

"This is the art of trade-off, the forces on both sides of them, no matter which side is a little more, only if their forces are about the same, they will not dare to act rashly, and we will be safer. ”

"Since they want to fight, I'll let them fight again!" Li Yun sighed.

Gai Nie nodded, he understood that Li Yun's current situation was already a desperate situation, the Queen Mother wanted to deal with him, although the prime minister cooperated in disguise, but in the end he still had to deal with him, and he didn't even have a person around him who could be used, if it was an ordinary person, I was afraid that he would not be able to hold it for a long time.

But Li Yun did not give up even in the face of such a desperate situation, he still talked and laughed and strategized, and he did have the talent of an emperor.

Li Yun and Gai Nie returned to the palace, and at this time, a father-in-law in the Queen Mother's bedroom blocked Li Yun's way.

"Your Majesty, are you back?"

"Is there something wrong?" Li Yun asked lightly.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother asked you to go to her dormitory!"

Li Yun had long expected that the Queen Mother would summon him, but he didn't expect the Queen Mother to be so anxious, it seemed that the Queen Mother was going to ask about the killing of her guards.

"Okay, you go back first, I'll be there shortly. ”

Li Yun changed into white clothes, the wounds on his hands were not treated, and he took Gai Nie to the Queen Mother's bedroom.

Because the wound was not treated, blood leached out of Li Yun's hand and stained his white shirt red.

Li Yun came to Yong'an Palace, and the people from Yong'an Palace stopped Li Yun.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother only summoned you alone, and your guards are still ......?"

Seeing that they didn't let Gai Nie in, Li Yun had no choice but to say, "Mr. Gai, please wait for me here." ”

Gai Nie nodded, "Be careful. ”

Li Yun followed the maid to the queen mother's bedroom, through the curtain, the queen mother lay on her side on the bed, and the white cat lay on the queen mother's chest, looming.

"Sons see the queen mother!"

Li Yun saluted.

"Get up, please!"

Li Yun slowly stood up, "I don't know why the queen mother called me?"

"I heard that you went to see the prime minister?" asked the Queen Mother.

"The queen mother, the test given to me by the queen mother is too difficult, so I went to the prime minister, the prime minister is the minister of my country, so I went to him to discuss how to solve the matter of this homeless people. ”

"Then have you found a solution?" the Queen Mother asked again.

"Not yet. ”

The Queen Mother got up slowly, stroked the white cat and said quietly: "I also heard that you killed my guards?"

"That's right!"

"You know he's my bodyguard?"

"Erchen knows!"

"Then why do you dare to kill him?"

At this time, Li Yun deliberately exposed the wound on his arm, and then said, "Queen Mother, is the son the emperor?" ”

"Of course you are!"

"So if someone dares to assassinate the emperor and injure the emperor, how should it be handled?"

"You should kill your head, and then punish your nine clans!"

"Okay, the queen mother, the knife wound on the hand of the son is exactly what Wang Chong did, he did not hesitate to sword each other in order to stop the son of the minister, although he is your guard, but the son knows that it must not be the queen mother who asked him to do this, he injured the son of the minister is his own will, so I directly asked my guest to kill him. ”

The Queen Mother was shocked when she saw the wound on Li Yun's arm.

Because she knew that Wang Chong didn't have the courage to hurt the emperor with a knife, so how did the injury on his arm come about?

"Are you sure that the injury on your arm was caused by Wang Chong?"

"It's true, if the queen mother doesn't believe it, the son keeps the knife used by Wang Chong at that time, and the queen mother can compare it by herself!" Li Yun said immediately.

"Well, no need. He dares to stab the emperor with a knife, then he should be killed, I don't think I want to kill him, but also punish his entire clan, okay, since you are injured, let's recuperate!" the Queen Mother waved her hand lightly.

"Thank you!"

Li Yun retreated.

The Queen Mother was immediately furious and threw the white cat off her body.

Although Li Yun is an emperor, if he kills his puppet, he can make some trouble with Li Yun.

She even wanted to get rid of the guards around Li Yun and weaken Li Yun's power because of this.

But now, I didn't expect Li Yun to be so cunning and use the method of self-harm.

In this way, Wang Chong killed Li Yun in the first place, and I can't do anything with Li Yun.

The Queen Mother said coldly: "Okay, you Li Yun, why didn't you find you so difficult to deal with before? But you are so smart, I think it is getting more and more interesting!"
