"Will it scare people to death, can it scare you to death?" Zuo Yanqing's face showed a rare cheerful smile: "I see that you, like your grandmother, are all horizontal seeds who are not afraid of heaven and earth, and you were born to scare others, how can others scare you?" ”

When Lu Yun heard this, he was at ease at first, and he really made the right bet. Uncle Bao, the former deputy commander of the guards, told him that Zuo Yanqing was originally the head of the guard of Princess Jinling of Western Qin, and later Princess Jinling was forced to marry Gaozu, and Zuo Yanqing entered the palace to serve the princess in order to complete the entrustment of the lord of Western Qin, and then became Emperor Gaozu's subordinate. Therefore, Uncle Bao judged that this person was likely to be loyal to neither Gaozu nor Daxuan, but only to the Queen Mother. Even if he wants Yin Luyun, he shouldn't mention the name of the Queen Mother.

And Zuo Yanqing mentioned the name of the Queen Mother, in fact, he was hinting at his position to Lu Yun.

"My imperial grandmother, you can be fine now......" Lu Yun's expression immediately darkened, and he couldn't hide the deep longing in his eyes.

"Not good, very bad." Zuo Yanqing also looked gloomy, and said quietly: "I don't know if you have the courage to go see her?" Saying that, he smiled with relief: "Originally, I was worried, but now it seems that you must have the guts." ”

"Yes." Lu Yun nodded solemnly and said: "Since I returned to Beijing, I have always had this plan, but I don't have a chance, and I am thinking about whether to break into the Forbidden Palace at night and give it a try." ”

"Don't." Zuo Yanqing slowly shook his head and said, "There is a great grandmaster in the palace. ”

"Does my husband mean Du Hui?" Lu Yun asked softly.

"No, there is also a clan called Huangfu Pixian. Yu Linwei commanded Huangfu Kang only as the nominal commander of Ouchi, and in fact he was responsible for the defense of the palace. Zuo Yanqing said lightly: "With your current cultivation, as long as you enter Ziwei Palace, you will be discovered by him." ”

"Oh, that's the case......" Lu Yun couldn't help but be afraid for a while, he really planned to visit the forbidden palace at night in the near future, in addition to sneaking a glance at the queen mother, he also wanted to touch the bottom of the palace's defense. Fortunately, there was Zuo Yanqing's reminder, otherwise it would have been self-defeating.

"But Your Highness doesn't have to worry, how to say that this Enke is also set up in the name of praying for the Queen Mother, then the Queen Mother heard that you were excluded by the Xiahou Valve, and felt that the holy products were rare, and she didn't want you to sink here, so I wanted to meet you and encourage you, which is also the meaning of the question."

"That's great, the juniors are waiting for their husband's arrangement." Lu Yun was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Well, wait a little bit, you just came here and met our family, and you will go to see the Queen Mother immediately, it's easy to make people think about it." Zuo Yanqing gently put down the teacup, revealing the meaning of sending off the guest: "In addition, if you want to take revenge on our family, you will not stop it, but I want to remind His Highness that your surname is Huangfu and not Lu, and don't regard anyone surnamed Huangfu as an enemy." ”

"The younger generation has taken it to heart." Lu Yun took a deep look and got up to exit the side hall.

Zuo Yanqing sat on the futon, drinking tea by himself, without the intention of sending it off.

。

Lu Yun came out of the side hall and saw that Eunuch Cao was still waiting at the gate of the back garden, knowing that the scene of the mother and son meeting was not over yet.

He stepped into the Sanqing Palace, took a stick of incense from the hand of the little Taoist boy, inserted it in the incense burner respectfully, and bowed three times to the ancestor of the Sanqing Dao. Then he sat quietly on the futon, listened to the melodious bells, closed his eyes and recuperated.

To tell the truth, although he never regretted his divorce with Xiahou Yanran, his heart has always been shrouded in thick clouds.

Although he had no contact with the clansmen, he could also hear from the rumors that now Lu Valve had a lot of resentment against his father and son, thinking that they had provoked Xiahou Valve, and the whole clan was in turmoil. Although the valve owner and several deacons are still supporting their father and son, after a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that they will change their course for the sake of the so-called overall situation, sacrificing their father and son in exchange for the understanding of the Xiahou valve.

After all, compared to Xiahou Valve, he is really weak and pitiful, except for Lu Xin and Uncle Bao, there is no one around him who can be used. His own martial arts are also stuck in a bottleneck, and the breakthrough is far away...... The name of the so-called holy product has no strength to endorse, and can only become a target for trouble.

On the other hand, the Initial Emperor was obviously more anxious than he expected. He thought that the initial emperor would be delayed for a year or two before it was launched, but he didn't expect that as soon as Dabi ended, he couldn't wait to push himself and the eldest prince out, and wanted to use the two of them as chess pieces to break his wrists with Xiahou Ba.

This will undoubtedly make the immediate crisis even more serious, not to mention revenge for a while, even self-preservation has become a big problem. Lu Yun's so-called grounding for a while, although he has the idea of taking a break for the time being, how can he say that he has to temporarily avoid the limelight because of his lack of good solutions?

That's why Lu Yun took the risk to meet Zuo Yanqing to see if he could take a step out of the dead to survive. Now it seems that this step is the right one, Zuo Yanqing has been waiting for him to come to see him, he is loyal to the Queen Mother!

He can clearly feel now that the situation does not want to be so desperate as it seems, in this smoky and hateful Luodu City, there are still some people and some forces who are not in the same league as those chaotic ministers and thieves, and are still loyal to their father, loyal to their grandmother, and will be loyal to themselves!

As a result, the haze in Lu Yun's heart for days was swept away, and even his five senses seemed to have become much sharper than usual. He clearly felt that Huangfu Xuan walked out of the back garden step by step, and slowly walked towards the Sanqing Hall with the support of Eunuch Cao.

Lu Yun stood up and walked out of the main hall, and sure enough, he saw Huangfu Xuan leaning weakly on Eunuch Cao's body, his eyes swollen like peaches.

"Has Your Highness seen Niangniang?" Lu Yun asked with his fists clenched.

"Get in the car first and then talk about ......" Huangfu Xuan's face became more and more pale, and he waved his hand to signal Lu Yun not to speak first.

Lu Yun and Eunuch Cao helped Huangfu Xuan out of the Taoist Temple and got into his carriage.

As soon as Huangfuxuan got in the car, he couldn't wait to pick up the wine jug, and before he had time to pour the wine, he drank it directly to his mouth. Ignoring the milky liquor that drenched his collar.

After a while, there was some blood on his face, and he smiled apologetically at Lu Yun: "I was too excited, so my brother smiled." ”

Lu Yun nodded silently, he could still tell the difference between drug addiction and emotional agitation. If it was in the past, he might have persuaded Huangfu Xuan to quit this thing, but after Lu Xin's reminder first, and this time after listening to Zuo Yanqing's words, Lu Yun's mind unconsciously changed...... He chose to ignore it.

"It turns out that my mother and grandfather have always been in contact, which is good news, we can get the support of the Wei Valve, and we are finally not so isolated." Under the influence of stalactite wine, Huangfu Xuan was a little overly excited: "Plus you Lu Valve and my Huangfu family, even if you can't fight Xiahou Valve, it's no problem to protect yourself!" ”

"Your Highness, don't get carried away, we are still very weak and ......" Lu Yun looked at Huangfu Xuan helplessly, and he didn't know if this guy was really naïve, or because he drank medicinal wine. They sent a great master at random, which is our death period. ”

"Huh?" Huangfu Xuan's face turned pale, and he was dumbfounded: "It's not like this, right?" ”

"Before I entered, I told Your Highness that the news of your meeting with Wei Niangniang will spread throughout the valves before dark. What do you say this means in the eyes of the old lady? ”
