After Zhang Cambodia said, the three of them looked at him together, and asked in unison: "What does the elder Ge mean by this?" ”

Zhang Cambodia sighed and replied: "This eight characters can be described as extremely rebellious, and the people behind the scenes even used the method of God's foreshadowing to convey this message, Your Majesty and you and I will definitely not believe in the gods, but the people of the world will be convinced of this!" At that time, the rumors will surely spread all over the city, and it will be difficult to control! The mouth of the people is better than the river! In your opinion, if Your Majesty wants to minimize the harm of this matter, what will she choose to do? ”

The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what to say, and finally the prince got up and made a gesture of raising and falling with a knife! Whispered: "Kill! ”

Zhang Cambodia nodded lightly and said, "According to the old minister's opinion, it must be so!" Your Majesty will kill those who know about this today, so that the fewer people who know about it, the better! It is expected that Huan Yanfan also knows that it is powerful, so he passed the note to me and the prince, hoping that we can be thoughtful for him, but his behavior indirectly involved the prince, the prince and the ministers, which is exactly what the mastermind behind the scenes is willing to see. ”

The prince whispered: "Wolf ambition! This thief will be punished! ”

King Xiang muttered in a low voice: "But back to the question just now, who is the person behind this scene?" ”

Li Sanlang stood up, paced back and forth in the room, and finally stopped after a while, and whispered: "The so-called high is suspicious!" If this matter has affected the prince, father and Zhang Gelao, and now Aunt Taiping is guilty again, it is difficult to be the person behind the scenes... Liang Wangwu thinks twice? ”

King Xiang shook his head and said, "With his intelligence, he shouldn't be able to do it!" Even if there is that strategist Xue by his side... Good, but aren't you also imprisoned in prison at this moment? ”

Zhang Cambodia whispered: "King Xiang, don't forget, King Liang also has a resourceful person by his side - Shangguan Wan'er!" ”

After hearing this, the prince patted the table in front of him and said excitedly: "What the elder said is true! How could we have forgotten her? This person is not ordinary, if there is his help in this matter, according to the opinion of this palace, it is very likely to be successful! ”

Li Sanlang hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Then may I ask the elder pavilion, what should we do now?" ”

Zhang Cambodia thought for a moment and said: "I also hope that King Xiang and Li Sicheng will rush to the military camps immediately, strengthen their vigilance, and deal with them in time if there is any change; I also have to trouble Li Sicheng to go to the prison to confirm whether Xue Liang and the others are properly detained, in case our concerns are correct, then Xue Liang and the others may be imprisoned as a bitter strategy. ”

Li Sanlang immediately bowed down and replied, "Oh! Saburo will live up to the trust. ”

Zhang Cambodia turned around and bowed to the prince and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, according to the opinion of the old minister, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should return to the East Palace immediately at this moment, and prepare to celebrate the Shangyuan Festival step by step, unless His Majesty summons, you must not enter the palace to meet you!" Static braking! As for Shangguan Wan'er, after all, she is a person close to His Majesty, and if we take surveillance actions against her at this time, it will make Your Majesty suspicious, so we have to take precautions in secret. ”

The prince replied: "The palace is according to what the elder said, but this General Huan Yanfan... ”

Zhang Cambodia looked at the crown prince and said firmly: "If the old minister is correct, even if Your Majesty wants to kill the person who knows about this matter, he will wait for him to find out the truth of the matter, and he will never choose to do it today, and General Huan's life should be safe today." ”

The prince continued, "But what if... ”

Zhang Cambodia replied: "If it is in case, it is also the fate of General Huan, the prince must not lose the overall situation for one person, this is the heartfelt words of the old minister, and I hope to accept it!" ”

After hearing this, the prince closed his eyes slightly, and could see the unbearable in his heart, and after a long time, the prince seemed to have finally made up his mind, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "Okay!" It's all about you! ”

Li Sanlang's heart suddenly had mixed feelings, thinking that he would have to easily sacrifice his siblings for the sake of power, this matter is really sad! But if you think about it carefully, there is nothing you can do, there is really no better way at the moment, it seems that everything can only be Huan Yanfan's own life.

The three of them stood up and bowed their hands, and replied, "Oh! Then he left the room in turn and left the Wangjiang Tower.

It's timely! The streets of Shendu are more lively, out of the Wangjiang Tower, you can see the lampstand in the Luoshui River from afar, at this time it has been surrounded by the army, but the people who are pouring here are endless, it is expected that the matter of the stone statue has already revealed the news, I am afraid that the whole god has known about it at this time, but it is difficult to say how many people know the content of the word.

Huan Yanfan stood beside the stone statue, looking at the stone statue with a blank look, although all the stone statues had already been covered with black cloth at this moment, but those eight words seemed to have taken root in his heart, and they always lingered, and he was trembling in his heart, always waiting for the female emperor to summon him; Although the herald sent to the prince replied that the prince had promised to enter the palace immediately, it was still unknown whether the prince would be able to deal with the matter, and he could not help but feel melancholy; Huan Yanfan fought in the north and south all his life, killed countless enemies on the battlefield, and has been living a life of licking blood from the knife, when it comes to the word "death", he is really not afraid, but he does not want to end up planting in this matter, his prestige in his life is gone, and he is too aggrieved; He looked up and looked around, now this place was already crowded with people, even if the Yulin Army and the forbidden army tried their best to intercept it, they still couldn't stop the flow of people who continued to surge, today's events are expected to be difficult to cover up the past, the more so, the more afraid he was in his heart, how the female emperor would deal with it, it was really difficult to guess, but seeing that the heralds who entered the palace to report had been gone for more than an hour, and there was still no reply, he couldn't help but be anxious in his heart.

Finally a person was squeezed out of the crowd, his whole body was wrapped tightly in a black robe, and he couldn't see his face clearly, he walked towards Huan Yanfan, Huan Yanfan subconsciously clenched the knife in his hand, and after the person approached, he gently opened the black robe, revealing his face, it turned out to be the little eunuch Gao Lishi next to the female emperor, and he whispered to Huan Yanfan: "Your Majesty General Xuanhuan quickly followed me into the palace to see the driver." ”

Huan Yanfan was about to give a salute to answer, Gao Lishi hurriedly stopped, he probably didn't want to attract more people's attention, and signaled Huan Yanfan to set off as soon as possible, Huan Yanfan didn't dare to delay, and followed Gao Lishi towards the palace. The two of them finally squeezed out of the crowd, and seeing that there were fewer people around, Huan Yanfan hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a whisper: "Dare to ask Grandpa Gao, what is Your Majesty's attitude towards this matter." ”

Gao Lishi stopped, turned his head to look at Huan Yanfan, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, but he stopped talking, and finally without saying a word, he began to rush towards the palace with Huan Yanfan; Seeing this, Huan Yanfan didn't want to ask more, but an ominous premonition hung in his heart.

Finally, the two arrived at the palace, but instead of going to the Jixian Palace, they came to a very small side hall, Huan Yanfan hesitated for a moment in front of the door, but stepped in. Gao Lishi stopped, turned around and whispered: "Your Majesty is in the back room, General Huan will go in by himself, and I will wait outside the door." ”

Huan Yanfan took a deep breath and cautiously walked towards the back room. But as soon as he entered the inner room, Huan Yanfan was stunned by the scene in front of him, there was only one female emperor in the inner room, there were no eunuchs or maidservants beside her, I saw her lying on her side on the dragon couch, no exquisite makeup and ornaments, no luxurious dragon robe, just dressed in plain clothes, and her face looked weak, in just one night, the female emperor seemed to have aged for ten years, and she was not the same person as she saw yesterday.

When the female emperor saw that Huan Yanfan had arrived, she sat up straighter with her hands on the couch, and said in a low voice: "General Huan, have you arrived?" ”

Huan Yanfan woke up like a dream, and hurriedly knelt down and said loudly: "The last general Huan Yanfan will see Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live long live, long live, long live!" After saying that, he didn't dare to raise his head again, and quietly waited for the female emperor's reply.

After a long time, the female emperor finally spoke again: "General Huan, work hard, get even." ”

Huan Yan Fan stood up after thanking him, but he still didn't dare to look directly at the female emperor, and the female emperor said in a trembling voice: "I already know what General Huan played, I don't know what General Huan thinks about this matter?" ”

Huan Yanfan didn't dare to think about it, and hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, this must be a conspiracy deliberately laid by people with sinister intentions, intending to disturb the public and confuse the public!" ”

The female emperor coughed and said slowly, "Doesn't General Huan think that this is a revelation from heaven to me?" ”

Huan Yanfan immediately knelt on the ground and replied: "It is impossible to return to Your Majesty!" Long live Your Majesty, you will be blessed with a long life! Huan Yanfan expected that the female emperor would have this question, so he had already secretly thought of a response on the way to the palace.

The female emperor suddenly sneered lightly and continued: "General Huan said it well! But how can I make all the people in the world think like General Huan thinks at this moment? ”

The female emperor asked Huan Yanfan that he had never thought about how to deal with it, so he hesitated for a moment and said: "The last general thinks that the people of the world will be able to distinguish between right and wrong, and will not mistakenly believe rumors!" ”

The female emperor continued to sneer: "If the people of the world can distinguish right from wrong, then the imperial court will not have these misfortunes!" The female emperor coughed again and said slowly: "So I think it's better not to let things flow out, what does General Huan think?" ”

The female emperor said that, Huan Yanfan immediately felt a chill on his back, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead unconsciously, this statement could not be more obvious, the female emperor wanted to cover up the matter completely, and the real way to keep the secret was nothing more than to make the living completely shut up, Huan Yanfan listened, and was nervous for a while and didn't know how to answer.

Seeing that Huan Yanfan hadn't answered for a long time, the female emperor asked sharply again, "What does General Huan mean?" Why didn't you reply to me? ”

Huan Yanfan was helpless, and said in a trembling voice: "Return... It is good to return to Your Majesty and prevent things from leaking, but... But right now, the Luoshui River has already been crowded with the people of Shendu, and it can't... ”

The female emperor had already heard what Huan Yanfan meant, and before he could finish speaking, her voice said coldly: "In my opinion, there are indeed not a few people in the Shendu who are watching, but there shouldn't be many people who have really seen those words, right?" ”
