Zhou Duan led the way in front, Empress Xuanren was in the center, and she had to pour Yan behind the palace. Just as Su Poyan finally entered the small door and dodged in, a sharp voice came from outside the main hall: "Command! Please ask Empress Xuanren to accept the order. ”

It turned out to be Chuntuo's voice.

Zhou Duan was frightened and gave a cold war.

Su Poyan looked at Empress Xuanren alertly, and asked with gestures if he wanted to get rid of Chuntuo.

Empress Xuanren pondered for a moment, then flashed out of the door again, patted the beard lightly and said, "No." Kill him at this time, and we will never succeed in getting out. Let's see what the dictation is. There is no rush at this moment. ”

Zhou Duan was quite annoyed, with a disappointed expression on his face. But Empress Xuanren had already given an order, and he had no choice but to withdraw with Empress Xuanren.

Su Poyan closed the door again, and straightened the sandalwood square table. The dormitory is back to normal.

At this time, Empress Xuanren asked lazily, "Who?" ”

Chun Tuo's footsteps had already arrived at the door of the main hall, and he replied respectfully: "Disturbing Niangniang late at night, I hope that Niangniang will forgive her sins." The slave maid is Chuntuo. Your Majesty has an edict, please get up and take the order. ”

Empress Xuanren walked out of the bedroom on the east side, stood still, and said slowly: "Since it is Your Majesty's will, then you can come in." ”

Chuntuo entered the door and saluted: "Niang Niang is endless." ”

"No courtesy."

Chuntuo saw that Su Poyan and Zhou Duan were also there, and said, "Lord Su Poyan and Xiangguo Gong are also there." ”

Empress Xuanren said: "I really can't sleep peacefully these days, let Xu Poyan give me luck conditioning every night, and let Duan'er accompany me here to talk about myself, so that I can fall asleep in front of me." Fang had just fallen asleep. By the way, why did you come so late to pass on His Majesty's message. What is Your Majesty's will? Empress Xuanren's expression was very calm, a kind of solemn tone that was disturbed by someone in the middle of the night, slightly annoyed, but without losing the dignity of the queen.

"It's rare for the mother to have a sleep, and let the slave and maid stir it up again. The slave deserves death, please give the mother. Chuntuo said.

"It doesn't matter. You can't help yourself. Proclaim it. ”

"Slave and maid thank Niangniang Longen." Chuntuo straightened up and said, "Your Majesty has a decree, please ask Empress Xuanren to move to Yinglu Palace immediately." ”

Empress Xuanren was shocked, but said with a smile on her face: "Oh? That's weird. Is it Yinglu Palace?! Is it Yun Xuan'e's dormitory?! What's the matter, is there something going on in Yun Jiao'e Palace? Why did His Majesty summon me to an audience late at night? That's weird. ”

Chun Tuo said: "What the hell is going on, the slave doesn't know. The slave maid just saw the king of Xiangting County enter the palace, and now he is in Yinglu Palace. ”

"King Xiangting? Entering the palace late at night, still in Yinglu Palace? ”

"Yes, sis. Qi Yu Niangniang, here's how it happened. Tonight, His Majesty had rested in Yinglu Palace, and suddenly, the Nangong guards at the palace gate came to report that the King of Xiangting County urgently asked to see him, and said that he was in a hurry and must immediately meet His Majesty. Niangniang, you also know, and the princes and ministers outside also know that Your Majesty is extremely taboo about the matter of detaining the palace late at night, and no one dares to ask to see the palace in the middle of the night. And His Royal Highness the King of Xiangting County has always been the most stable and courteous, and never overstepped the courtesy. Therefore, if it weren't for the fact that there was really a big and urgent matter, His Royal Highness the King of Xiangting County would never ask to see him late at night. For this reason, His Majesty specially allowed His Royal Highness the King of Xiangting County to enter the Yinglu Palace for an audience. After His Royal Highness the King of Xiangting County came down, he only said a few words, and His Majesty immediately ordered the slaves and maids to come over and invite the mother over. ”

Empress Xuanren thought of the secret letter she received today from the King of Xiangting County, and her heart began to run rapidly to analyze, with a look of doubt on her face.

Chun Tuo didn't know what Empress Xuanren was thinking, thinking that Empress Xuanren wanted to find out what the King of Xiangting County said, so she hurriedly said: "Niangniang, the slave and maid are incompetent, when His Royal Highness the King of Xiangting County spoke to His Majesty, he was close to the whisper, and the slave and maid were a little farther away and did not hear it. Wan Wang Niangniang forgives her sins. ”

Zhou Duan was very frustrated, and his escape was a failure.

Su Poyan said: "Niangniang, it's late at night, the dew is heavy and the weather is cold, the slave maid will bring you a thin hairy coat, right?" Although Yinglu Palace and Fengde Palace are only a few steps away, the night wind in the palace corridor is very strong and hard, and Niangniang should be careful, don't suffer the wind and catch a cold. The slave and maid went with the mother. Or, please wait here for a while, such a toss, it will be more difficult for Niangniang to sleep tonight, it is estimated that after Niangniang comes back, he will still have to be accompanied by Xiangguo Gong to talk and hypnosis. What does the mother think? ”

Su Poyan is reminding Empress Xuanren that first, she should be ordered to go to Yinglu Palace, second, she will protect the safety of Empress Xuanren, and third, please ask Zhou Duan to wait here, if there is no accident, he must act according to the original plan.

After hearing this, Zhou Duan felt that it was still possible to escape tonight, even if it didn't work out tonight, and if it was delayed for a day or two, he could always find an opportunity, so he calmed down in his heart.

"That's fine," Empress Xuanren also came back to her senses and said, "Yun Jiao'e is still pregnant, don't take too plain and clean ones, pick a warm one." In addition, take another peach hairpin, I have a funeral on my body, and I always have an unlucky body, Buick rushed to Yun Jiao'e. Take it, just take the phoenix hairpin made of peach wood. ”

"Niangniang is really generous and benevolent, and she thinks about everything." Chuntuo complimented.

But Su Poyan knew that this was Empress Xuanren making necessary preparations. This phoenix tail wood hairpin is not a peach wood hairpin. The reason why Empress Xuanren laid out a lot of words and directly asked for this phoenix-tailed wooden hairpin was because this hairpin contained highly poisonous poison. Empress Xuanren is preparing for this, in case something bad happens to Yinglu Palace, Empress Xuanren may commit suicide by taking poison on the spot. In this way, Xiao Jia no longer has to worry about the future, and if Empress Xuanren poisons herself in front of the emperor, she can add another crime to the emperor, which is also conducive to winning people's hearts when Lu Jia raises troops.

Empress Xuanren said to Chuntuo: "You sit for a while." I went in and got a little haircut. Just come in and serve. ”

Entering the bedroom, Empress Xuanren approached Su Poyan and said in a very low voice: "If something unexpected happens in Yinglu Palace, I will judge myself on the spot." You must leave me alone, you must desperately break out of the palace, first use the cloud pigeon to inform Xiao Jia, and then go to Canaan yourself, don't go back to Xiangting County. ”

Su Poyan felt quite sad and desolate in his heart, and even the feeling of parting from life and death, but now is not the time to be emotional, Su Poyan endured it and responded expressionlessly: "Yes, don't worry, Niangniang." ”

Because Tuyu is extremely taboo about detaining the palace late at night, and he is a powerful old county king like the king of Tingjun, the guard of Yinglu Palace is extremely strict, and the vigilance force has increased several times, and layers of Nangong guards surround Yinglu Palace. Empress Xuanren found on the road that many Nangong guards were still pouring out from all directions in full armor, according to the palace guards arranged points, one point at a time to supplement the military strength. The passages in the palace were soon filled with the newly arrived Nangong guards.

When Empress Xuanren arrived at the gate of Yinglu Palace, she saw that Hua Yun had also arrived.

"The mother is endless." Hua Yun saluted.

"Excuse me."

The grounds of Yinglu Palace are surrounded by several circles of guards.

Hua Yun followed Empress Xuanren, Chuntuo, and Su Poyan into the main hall of Yinglu Palace-Yilan Palace.

He was sitting on the main seat, and the king of Xiangting had already given him a seat and sat in the lower seat. Yun Jiao'e is not in the temple. The door of the main hall leading to the dormitory was closed, and it seemed that Yun Jiao'e should rest in the dormitory.

There were only two people serving beside him, one was Ling Ji and the other was Dieji. Ling Ji is responsible for serving the emperor and the king of Xiangting County in the palace, and Dieji is responsible for contacting the palace maids and attendants outside the palace and asking for things.

Hua Yun hurriedly walked forward, bowed briefly to the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, everything has been settled. ”

Everyone saluted and said, "The imperial sister-in-law has arrived, hurry up and sit down." Su Poyan, Chuntuo, Dieji, you all go out and wait. Chuntuo and Xu Poyan, the two of you are carefully guarded, and no one is allowed to approach near the Yilan Palace. It is enough to keep Ling Ji and Hua Yun in the hall to serve. Su Poyan, Chuntuo and Dieji didn't dare to stay for a long time, and retreated.

Empress Xuanren's heart tightened, and she silently measured the situation in the palace: "Hua Yun is the younger brother of Yun Jiao'e, and the eldest son of Hua Chong, the patriarch of the Hua family, who was newly subdued by the emperor. Ling Ji is Yun Jiao'e's Liuchuan Maiji's sister, and she is also the emperor's low-ranking concubine, so she is also a person from the emperor's side. If the position of King Tingjun is the same as that of Tuyou, then he will be completely isolated. Empress Xuanren secretly made up her mind, "In this gladiatorial battle in this palace, she has no chance of winning, so she can only judge herself on the spot." In this way, it is fortunate that Su Poyan was sent out of the palace. With the effort of the mustache, there is no problem in escaping from the palace. The road ahead can only be walked by Xiao Jia alone. With the purpose set in her heart, Empress Xuanren calmed down.

Ling Ji and Hua Yun are both very clever. Ling Ji didn't say a word, stepped forward and took Empress Xuanren's arm from Su Poyan's hand, and then gently supported her, and helped Empress Xuanren to the seat on the emperor's right side and sat down.

King Xiangting and the others then saluted Empress Xuanren: "Niangniang is endless. ”

Empress Xuanren just raised her hand, signaled for exemption, and did not speak. She was very disgusted by the hypocrisy of these people in the palace, including the low-brow and pleasing King Xiangtingjun and her own brother, and she was also disgusted. For the first time in her life, she felt a little cynical.

Xiao Tuyou said: "Imperial sister-in-law, in the middle of the night, inviting the imperial sister-in-law over is really a major matter that must be dealt with immediately. This matter is related to the Daisho Society. Every more delay is a moment of risk. Hey, I never thought that someone would secretly make a big arrangement, wanting to break with me and the ancestors and ancestors. I'm afraid that if it's a little bit later, I'm afraid the world will be in chaos soon. Without further ado, in order to prevent a lot of dreams at night, I invited the imperial sister-in-law over at night, and we made a decision in person. I still hope, I hope that the imperial sister-in-law will forgive me. ”
