That day, after Qi Guang and Jiang Lingzhou found out that Xiaoyi was not in Qingxiao, Qi Guang immediately returned to the palace to report.

"What do you say? None of them are there? Yan Qinghan asked in a condensed voice.

"Yes, there are only a few older disciples in the sect who are taking care of affairs." Qi Guang replied.

"What would make them leave at the same time?" Yan Qing was worried.

"Qi Guang, from today onwards, you have to keep an eye on Qingxiao, as long as you find that they are back, you will report back immediately."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

When Jiang Lingzhou returned to Jiangfu, it was already night, and Jiang Lingzhou wanted to return to his room unconsciously, but as soon as he walked to the garden, a calm and sophisticated voice came from behind him,

"Running out every day until midnight, when will you grow a little?"

Jiang Lingzhou was very crazy, but helplessly, it was common for him to be discovered, but he had always been a soldier to block and cover up.

He turned around and said with a courteous smile: "Dad, I'm busy with first-class things every day, but it's inconvenient to reveal it to you now, so you can say a few words, don't worry about me." ”

Hearing him say this, Master Jiang was even more angry, he asked himself that he was still a person with both ability and political integrity, but for some reason his son did not inherit his good points at all, but played around, I don't know that being motivated is the most described description of Jiang Lingzhou he has heard outside.

"You're trying to me off! If you can't support the wall with such mud, how can I trust this huge family business into your hands? ”

"Dad, I see that your body is very strong, why are you in such a hurry to take care of your old age, don't worry, if it really comes to that time, I will take good care of the family business, as for now, don't force me!"

Seeing that Jiang Lingzhou was still cynical, Master Jiang didn't bother to tell him again, sighed, and turned to leave.

Jiang Lingzhou looked at Master Jiang's disappointed departure, how could he not feel a pain in his heart, how could he not want to help his father share the burden, and how could he want him to always worry about himself, but now he has his troubles, instead of letting him know the truth and worrying about himself, it is better to make him think that he is just ignorant for a while.

Master Jiang returned to the room, and Mrs. Jiang immediately saw that he had just gotten angry with Jiang Lingzhou again.

"Master, is our continent angry with you again?" Mrs. Jiang asked softly.

"Don't mention it, look at what you've spoiled him!" Master Jiang frowned and said sternly.

"What the master said is not right, he is not only my son, doesn't the master spoil him?" Mrs. Jiang pretended to be disgusted.

"You are still angry with me with him at this time, you, hey, you really deserve to be a mother and son!" Master Jiang saw that his son and son didn't listen to him, and his wife didn't understand him, so he was even more depressed.

Who knows, when Mrs. Jiang heard this, she hid her face and laughed, "Master, others don't know our Zhou'er, don't you still understand, when did Zhou'er be like outsiders say, even if he is still like a child now, but he is still extremely filial to the two of us, isn't this enough?" ”

After listening to Mrs. Jiang's words, Master Jiang's face softened slightly, and then he looked at her before he said, "But if he keeps being like this, how can we hand over the Jiang family to him?" I'm not angry with him, I'm just worried that he will do without our protection in the future? ”

"Master, I believe that our continent will not let us down, and you should try to believe him."

"I hope it's really what you say."

After some persuasion and relief from Mrs. Jiang, Master Jiang's heart was indeed better.

The two of them have been married for decades, and they have always respected each other like guests, although Master Jiang is a rich party, but he has always been to his wife, and he has never accepted a concubine to enter the door, Mrs. Jiang is also famous for her gentle and gentle, so the impression of their son Jiang Lingzhou on outsiders is indeed a great impact compared with the two of them.

……

It has been about half a month since Tan'er was sent by Yan Qinghan to the frontier to investigate the situation, and today, Yan Qinghan finally received Tan'er's summons.

"The Turks are repeated, wanton and rampant, and if they are not clear, there may be a vicious war."

Seeing Tan'er's message, Yan Qinghan knew that there was something he had put on hold for too long, and now he had to solve it.

After burning the message, he went to Shoukang Palace.

And at this time in the Shoukang Palace.

"Queen Mother, the border Turks are repeated, if we don't send troops to suppress them, I'm afraid they will be even more rampant."

After listening to the content of the ear and eye report, Lu Lan was not worried but happy.

"Don't worry, someone is more anxious than us at this time, and soon, the mourning family will not have to sit in this Shoukang Palace to pray for scriptures and worship the Buddha."

As soon as Lu Lan's words fell, a voice came from outside Shoukang Palace, "The emperor has arrived." ”

"No, people have already come. Stand down, all of you. ”

Yan Qinghan entered the main hall, and there was only Lu Lan in the palace.

"The son has seen the queen mother."

Lu Lan looked at Yan Qinghan in the audience, and asked knowingly, "Why did the emperor come today?" ”

"The Turks have been repeated, and many countries belonging to the Ten Thousand Dynasties have been attacked, and the sons came today to discuss with the queen mother about sending troops to suppress it."

Yan Qinghan knew in his heart that Lu Lan would not be ignorant of this, and he also knew that since he came to Shoukang Palace today, Lu Lan would not easily agree to his request, and sure enough, what Lu Lan said next was as he expected,

"If the emperor wants to send troops to fight and discuss with the mourning family, it is natural that he should discuss and decide with the ministers of the previous dynasty!"

After consulting with them, how many of them are sincere to themselves? What's more, where is the soldiers and horses in his hands enough to suppress. Yan Qinghan thought in his heart.

"When the matter was urgent, the sons came to find the queen mother first, and wanted to hear what the queen mother had to say."

"It's not the kindness of a mourning woman, it's just a small vassal country in a few corners, why is the emperor so worried?" Lu Lan said unhurriedly.

"Queen Mother, even so, you can't underestimate the enemy, if you really wait for them to step into the territory of our court, it will be too late."

"What the emperor said is reasonable, but the mourning family is now in this Shoukang Palace, and they only have more than enough heart and not enough strength."

"Queen Mother!"

"The emperor doesn't want to say it anymore, the mourning family has been tired recently, and the emperor should first discuss with the ministers of the previous dynasty and make his own decision."

"Then the queen mother has a good rest, and the sons will not disturb the queen mother."

How could Yan Qinghan not understand, Lu Lan wanted to see his attitude, the overall situation was important at the moment, Yan Qinghan naturally understood which was more important.

Out of Shoukang Palace, Yan Qinghan gave an order to lift Lu Lan's grounding order.

"Niangniang, once this grounding order is lifted, won't the emperor be even more unable to contain your power." Rong Wan looks like a villain. As soon as the queen mother's grounding is removed, she doesn't know how far she will be in this palace in the future.

"Some people always don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and they don't want to think about it, without me, can he sit on this throne, it's not the same now, without me, can he sit on the throne steadily!" Lu Lan looked proud.

"Niangniang, since the emperor has now surrendered to you, don't you plan to agree to him sending troops to suppress it? If it's really as he says, it's going to be really tricky. The conversation between Lu Lan and Yan Qinghan, Rong Wan hid behind, and she heard it clearly.

"Wait, it's not time yet."

After Yan Qinghan returned to Weiyang Palace, he was on pins and needles, now he doesn't have much power in his hands, and there is no one who can be trusted, if Lu Lan really wants to spend it with him to the end, it is still those people who have suffered innocently in the war.

Just when he was worried, he suddenly thought of someone, that is Mu Sheng, now that Mu Sheng has promised the queen mother and is willing to be her meticulous work, then his mother should soon summon Mu Sheng.

For the sake of today, there is no better way than to wait for the opportunity.

……

"Rong Wan, change clothes for the mourning family, and the mourning family will go to Huaqing Palace in person."

It's been half a year, Lu Lan hasn't taken half a step except for the Shoukang Palace during the Midyear Festival, and now that the ban order has been removed, she naturally wants everyone to know that she Lu Lan can always hold Yan Qinghan, and those who can't recognize the direction are also time to show them the way.

Huaqing Palace.

"The Queen Mother has arrived."

Mu Sheng was in the hall when he heard the sound of communication from outside the palace.

She frowned slightly, except for the empress dowager's grounding order, it seems that Yan Qinghan has something going on, and before she has time to think about it, Lu Lan has already arrived at the door of the main hall.

Mu Sheng got up, stepped forward and saluted: "The concubine sees the Queen Mother." ”

"Flat, Mu Zhaoyi, the mourning family has something to explain to you." Lu Lan approached and helped her up, patted her hand and said.

"Then we might as well move to the inner sanctum, after all, the wall has ears, mother." Mu Sheng's face said gently.

So, the two of them entered the inner sanctum.

"The frontier Turks are attacking, the emperor is ready to send troops to suppress it, and the mourning family wants you to do one thing." After Lu Lan sat down, he spoke.

No wonder, the Queen Mother's grounding order would suddenly be lifted, and after listening to Lu Lan's words, Mu Sheng instantly understood.

"What does the Queen Mother want Mu Sheng to do?"

"If the emperor sends troops, the mourning family wants you to go with him."

"This? Since ancient times, where have harem concubines followed the emperor out of the palace to fight, not to mention how could the emperor agree? "Mu Sheng pretended to be guilty.

"Mu Zhaoyi, don't forget how you promised the mourning family in the first place." Lu Lan's tone was slightly sharper.

"Mu Sheng remembers, but I don't know what the Queen Mother wants Mu Sheng to do if she asked me to follow the emperor?"

"Find an opportunity, so that the emperor will never have to return to the Wan Dynasty."

When Lu Lan said this, Mu Sheng's heart was shocked, the ancient saying says that tiger poison does not eat children, and he couldn't imagine that Lu Lan could do it to his own son for the sake of power.

"Queen Mother, what you want is the emperor's life." Mu Sheng whispered, she still didn't believe it.

"Since he doesn't want to be this puppet, then I'll give him this opportunity, but if he doesn't give up his position, how can I let someone else replace him." Lu Lan said very decisively and ruthlessly.

"Don't worry, if you can help the mourning family succeed, the mourning family will reward you with ten thousand taels of gold, so that you can have no worries about food and clothing from now on, wouldn't it be better?"

Mu Sheng looked at Lu Lan with a sinister appearance, and sneered in her heart, there are ten thousand taels of gold, no worries about food and clothing, if she really assassinated the emperor, such a good scapegoat, will you Lu Lan let it go easily, this time, I am afraid that neither she nor Yan Qinghan can survive.

After Mu Sheng pretended to think about it, he said slowly: "Don't worry, the Queen Mother, Mu Sheng knows how to do it." ”

Hearing that Mu Sheng agreed so happily, Lu Lan couldn't hide her joy, "Okay, then the mourning family is waiting for your good news." ”

Mu Sheng pretended to laugh at the ruthless woman in front of her, how ruthless and greedy she was, so that she could be so indifferent and ruthless to her own blood and blood, after sending Lu Lan away, Mu Sheng was also in a predicament, if she told Yan Qinghan that her mother was using him from beginning to end, what would he think.

For Mu Sheng, she returned here for revenge, she firmly believed that when she saw Yan Qinghan, she did only hate him in her heart, but for some reason, Yan Qinghan showed himself again and again a side that he had never had, he didn't know what he was for, and now in Mu Sheng's heart, in addition to hating Yan Qinghan, she had a trace of sympathy, and her heart was suddenly confused at the moment.
