"You're scared to death, you know?"
Princess Wannian finally waited until Liu Yi arrived at the Xiangxiang Palace, and when she saw Liu Yi, she threw herself into Liu Yi's arms like a bird, hugged Liu Yi tightly, buried her head in Liu Yi's chest, and said with tears in her eyes. (The text was first published in the reading cabinet http://biquge.info.)

This is called Guan Ji Chaos, Princess Wannian who watched the competition in the palace tower during the day, and watched the competition between Liu Yi and Xu Zhu, she raised her heart and eyes. Although she has confidence in Liu Yi, but confidence is a matter of time, but this is related to the happiness of her life, and it is not that she is not nervous, no matter whether Liu Yi occupies the wind during the competition, she doesn't know how nervous she is, for fear that Liu Yi will have any accidents. If Leo Yi is defeated, she really doesn't know what to do.
Liu Yi returned to the Zhenfeng Grain Mansion, dealt with Xu Zhu's injuries, and settled him in the Zhenfeng Grain Mansion, and then had dinner with the women, and then entered the palace to convey Yuanyang's true qi to the emperor.
Liu Yi only had a battle with Xu Zhu on this day, so the loss of true qi is not too big, and the loss is only half of his true qi, so there is no need to rush to recover his true qi with all the women. Besides, there are also those who have not been in love with Princess Wannian for several days, and it is the same with Princess Wannian, besides, there is also Queen He Wan in the palace, there are two daughters, and Liu Yi can almost completely recover the true qi in his body. Besides, if it doesn't work, there are three or two delicate maids in the queen's bedroom, they are all virgins, and they are all henchmen of the queen He Wan, the kind that can definitely be trusted.
The two or three maids also knew about Liu Yi and the queen, after all, this kind of thing was definitely not really secret compared to the queen's palace, and some noises would make people suspicious. Besides, it is not surprising that the queen also wants those maids to wait, so that they can know about Liu Yi and the queen's private affairs. Fortunately, the only people who know about Liu Yi and the queen's private relationship are those two or three of the queen's most trusted maids, other maids or chamberlains, who don't know.
There are many people, and many people know about it, I am afraid that there will be rumors that will reach the ears of the emperor or the queen mother, even if it does not reach the ears of the emperor or the queen mother, let the eunuchs in the palace know, it is definitely a thing that can kill Liu Yi, and even reach the ears of Princess Yang'an and other princesses, I am afraid that Liu Yi will also get chicken feathers and duck blood, and he will be in a commotion.
The two or three maids, one is called Xiao Tao, one is called Wu Yi, and the other is called Xiao Fei. Under the age of seven, they entered the palace at the age of ten, and waited for the queen for six or seven years. The queen also has the intention to let Liu Yi accept these three daughters, so that it can really be reassuring.
Liu Yi hugged Princess Wannian and coaxed her: "Just wait for me to marry you, don't worry, if you're afraid, then don't watch our martial arts competition, it's not good to see too many men fighting and killing." Just find someone to sit on the castle tower with their face covered, and no one will recognize you. β
"I'm not, I'm going to watch you defeat those people." Princess Wannian said coquettishly.
"Okay, let's go to the queen tonight, I'm afraid she will miss me too." Liu Yi took Princess Wannian's little hand and walked towards a side door of the Xiangxiang Palace.
In fact, whether it is the Xiangxiang Hall or the Queen's Palace, there will definitely be no less, there will generally be more than ten or twenty people taking care of the palace, and there will be no shortage of maids who clean or plant and take care of those flowers and plants in the palace. However, fortunately, they all follow the rules of the palace very much, and they will not run around at night when they have nothing to do, and they will not talk nonsense or move around indiscriminately. Where they waited, they did not hear the command, and they would never dare to enter where they should not have entered.
The accommodation arranged for Liu Yi in the Xiangxiang Hall is the partial room of the innermost main hall building in the Xiangxiang Palace, and the main hall building is also separated from the surrounding buildings by a wall, so as long as the order is given, so that they are absolutely not allowed to enter without hearing the order, then, they will not break in. In this way, even if Liu Yi is not in the Xiangxiang Palace, no one knows. Of course, Liu Yi left the Xiangxiang Palace and sneaked into the Queen's Palace, so as not to let others see it, otherwise, everyone would see it, and naturally they would know that Liu Yi was not in the Xiangxiang Palace.
Liu Yi was also familiar with the road for a long time, and he didn't need Princess Wannian to lead the way, but instead pulled Princess Wannian, and after leaving the main hall of the Xiangxiang Hall from the side door, he hid in the dark outside the palace, and sneaked all the way to avoid the route that might be seen by people, and sneaked into the Queen's Palace not far from the Xiangxiang Palace.
At this time, although it was very dark, it was not too late, at most it was about nine o'clock in the evening. Liu Yi and Princess Wannian sneaked along the root of the wall to the queen's bedroom, and were about to get a movable wooden board from the corner of the wall to get in, but Liu Yi heard who the queen seemed to be talking to, and quickly grabbed Princess Wannian and signaled her not to make a sound.
I don't know why, Princess Wannian may be very fascinated by this kind of sneaky behavior at night, or rather, she used to be too bored in the palace, so she especially likes this kind of game like hide and seek, when Liu Yi grabbed Princess Wannian's little hand, he found that her little palms were sweaty, and she was expected to be in a state of nervous excitement at this time.
Liu Yi motioned to Princess Wannian not to make a sound, and then ran the Yuanyang Divine Skill by herself, gathered her ears, and listened to the words inside.
I only heard Queen Wan'er say: "Big brother, are you crazy? Why are you so impulsive? How can you secretly let others lead the army back to Beijing? What do you want to do? β
"Hmph, didn't I do this for you and the prince? If you look at you now, you know that you are hiding in this queen's palace, and you don't know that while the emperor is sick in bed, listen to the government more and fight for more power, if you continue like this, when the time comes, will there be a place for us in this court? β
"Now that the Queen Mother is in power, what can the queen do? What can you win by listening to politics? The emperor is still there, there is a prince and a princess, what are you panicking about? The prince and the prince will definitely keep the argument, but you, don't let you get closer to the prince and the prince more, and have a good relationship with him, so that you have to discuss with the prince and the prince no matter how big or small, you are good, I heard that you sent two singers to spy on the prince and the prince, and almost made you turn your face with the prince......"
"What about turning your face? I'm really a little weird, sister, why do you open your mouth to be the prince and the prince, and close your mouth to the prince and the prince? β
"This" Queen He Wan was speechless for a while, and changed the topic: "The prince is the prince's master, and the prince who will assist the prince in the future will be the prince's main reliance on the prince's governance, if you don't have a good relationship with him, who else can you befriend him?" β
"Hehe, sister, don't be so naΓ―ve, the prince is the prince's master, yes, but he is also the master of the dead prince. Besides, did you see that? Liu Yi has no interest in government politics at all, almost no court, counting on him? You also know about the Empress Dowager's pro-government, now the Empress Dowager favors Zhang to let these traitors, and they all have the final say in the court, hmph, wait a little longer, in case the emperor has something long and short, when the time comes, whether the prince can ascend the throne or not. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Empress Dowager Dong doesn't like you, and she doesn't like the prince, if it weren't for the eldest brother finding out that the Empress Dowager Dong intends to set up another prince Liu Xie as the prince, I wouldn't be so nervous, anyway, if you don't fight with the Empress Dowager Dong, then, we don't know how we will die at that time, you just wait and see. β
"Anyway, eldest brother, I have made up my mind, since ancient times, eunuchs and relatives have not been separated, if the queen mother has no other thoughts, it will be fine, and those eunuchs will not be able to make too many waves, but in case the queen mother obeys the eunuch's construction, I He Jin, and my sister, you, the queen, and the prince, are all finished, if it comes to that point, it is estimated that our He family will be finished."
"Don't force me to ......"
"I didn't force you to do it, it's just a fact, if you don't fight with the Empress Dowager Dong, then it's us who will suffer, once they decide, it will be difficult to change it, think about it, if the prince is deposed, where will you go in the future? Big brother's words are here, even if you don't fight, I He Jin won't sit still, big brother naturally has big brother plans, don't worry about it, don't let me have a good relationship with that Liu Yi or something, Liu Yi is not the same person as your big brother and me, goodbye! β
Liu Yi and Princess Wannian eavesdropped in the corner of the wall outside the palace, and after a while, Liu Yi finally heard clearly, it turned out that the queen and He Jin, two brothers and sisters, were talking secretly.
Listening to the rushing footsteps in the distance, Liu Yicai signaled Princess Wannian to enter the queen's bedroom
Liu Yi didn't know what He Jin and Queen He Wan said before, but hearing He Jin's words behind him was enough to shock Liu Yi.
This He Jin has already secretly sent someone else to lead the army into Beijing? This person, if Liu Yi didn't guess wrong, it should be Dong Zhuo? Think about it, now in the world, I am afraid that only Dong Zhuo has that kind of strength to help He Jin seize power.
The south has never been an important place for warfare, it is not so valued, and the Yellow Turban Riot has relatively little harm to the south and other places, and most of the Han troops in the south have been transferred to Xiliang or Jizhou in the north. Such as Sun Jian and others, the Han army in Eastern Wu was transferred to Xiliang to fight, so the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou and other places in the south, or the Han army farther away, are not something He Jin can rely on, Jizhou and other places, there are too many factions, and there seems to be no one who is particularly strong. Therefore, He Jin calculated, and only Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, Ding Yuan in Bingzhou, and Dong Zhuo, who has now pacified the Xiliang Rebellion, can be used by He Jin.
However, Gongsun Chan in Youzhou in the north, he is too busy to take care of himself now, and he can't save the fire from far away, so He Jin naturally won't have too much friendship with Gongsun Chan, and he won't deliberately woo Gongsun Chan. And Ding Yuan, who merged with the state, had just suffered defeat, and the Huns had just evacuated the state, and Ding Yuan at this time was still in the process of recovering his vitality, and he was not He Jin's reliance. In this way, only Dong Zhuo is left to choose from He Jin. Although He Jin is now a general, he can be regarded as holding military power, but his army is so much, and he has to deal with the forbidden army and the city defenders who are not under his control at the same time, he does not have the courage to do so, so he must have the help of external forces.
Whether it is He Jin or those powerful ministers in the court, as the competition and recruitment process become more and more nervous, their hearts are becoming more and more nervous.
Because, they have also seen that if a new Yulin Army is established, it is obvious that this new army has little to do with them, they are not lovers, this army is ultimately in the hands of eunuchs in the palace. In this way, He Jin and the others felt deeply threatened.
What's more, this new army is to be formed by drawing elites from their army. After forming an army, they did not have the command of the half-battle. In this way, the eunuchs in the palace will be even more powerful in the future, and they will be completely out of their control. Therefore, with the process of recruiting affinity in martial arts, He Jin and others were so anxious that they couldn't help but carry out the means of fighting for power.
What He Jin is most worried about now is that the eunuchs in the palace are already accusing the palace, if there is another Yulin army that can influence their actions, what position will he have in the court in the future? In case it is really as the news he has found, the Empress Dowager Dong is going to depose the crown prince Liu Wei and appoint the prince Liu Xie as the crown prince At that time, what did he do to stop it?
Therefore, the struggle for power between He Jin and the eunuchs in the palace has reached a white-hot point. The formation of a new Yulin army proposed by the eunuch is a breakthrough point to break the balance between the eunuchs, the ministers, and their relatives. Once the army is really formed, and the Yulin army is really controlled by the eunuchs, then the court will truly become a hall of words for the ten permanent servants, and no one can compete with the eunuchs.
Therefore, He came in to find the queen He Wan, because she wanted the queen to show her face appropriately, for herself and for the sake of the prince Liu Wei, she had to fight for a little more rights. At the very least, you have to get a holy decree, even if it is a fake holy decree, give Dong Zhuo a holy decree, let Dong Zhuo lead the troops into Beijing, assist him He Jin, support him to fight against the eunuchs, and help him control the court.
Originally, Liu Yi was a better choice than Dong Zhuo, but He Jin knew that Liu Yi was not someone he could control at all. Moreover, after trying to win over Liu Yi without success, He Jin slowly lost patience with Liu Yi, and no longer listened to the advice of Queen He Wan and his father, and decided to find another help, and did not have too much contact with Liu Yi again.
And history, because of the Empress Dowager Dong's pro-government, caused Queen He's dissatisfaction, after a struggle for power and profit, it was finally Empress He who won and made He Jin move the Empress Dowager Dong elsewhere, which also made the Empress Dowager Dong die of depression.
However, Liu Yi now seems to be not Empress He and Empress Dowager Dong fighting for power, but being forced by He Jin to fight for power with Empress Dowager Dong. In fact, Liu Yi can also foresee that if there is no appearance of herself, Empress He will have a competition with Empress Dowager Dong, who wants to abolish the prince and establish a prince, in order to save herself, save the prince, and ensure that the prince can sit firmly on the throne. In any case, it is absolutely impossible for Queen He to watch her son be deposed.
After Liu Yi and Princess Wannian came in, the queen still didn't feel it, but she was just sitting on the phoenix couch a little depressed, and she didn't know what to think about.
"Queen Mother!" As soon as Princess Wannian entered the queen's bedroom, she screamed.
Queen He Wan looked up and saw Princess Wannian and Liu Yi, and she couldn't help but slide down two lines of crystal tears.
"Queen, what you said just now, Princess Wannian and I also listened a little outside, don't worry, there is still me in every qiΔ." Liu Yi knew why the queen was crying, so he hurriedly walked to the phoenix couch, pulled her soft and boneless jade hand, and held it tightly.
"Who is Dong Zhuo?" Empress He wiped a handful of tears and looked at Liu Yi blankly and asked.
"The traitor of the fallen country!" Liu Yi didn't think about it and said: "The wolf ambition, if you call him back to Beijing, it will be tantamount to luring the wolf into the room, so the queen doesn't care about your eldest brother's request, don't be embarrassed." β
"Then, then you will help the prince, yes?" Empress He's other jade hand gently stroked Liu Yi's handsome face and asked weakly.
"Of course, I'm his master, to be precise, it should be his godfather, I don't assist him, who will assist him?" Leo said as a matter of course.
"My eldest brother has already invited that Dong Zhuo to come, what should I do with this?"
"Haha, don't worry, Dong Zhuo may not come now, wait and see." Liu Yi said with a smile.
Dong Zhuo is indeed not going to lead troops into Beijing now, and in history, Dong Zhuo has also refused the call of the imperial court twice and has not returned to the capital. Dong Zhuo had just pacified Liangzhou, and it was at a time of rapid expansion of power, with his wolf-like ambition personality, how could he be willing to be a lackey under He Jin? He should still be preparing to enter Beijing, waiting for a suitable time to enter the capital in one fell swoop.
"Then, what my eldest brother said, should I ...... Do you want to listen to politics like Empress Dowager Dong? The queen couldn't make up her mind, and asked Liu Yi hesitantly.
"It's up to you, anyway, the emperor is still there now, in fact, it doesn't matter if you listen to it or not, maybe, after a while, the emperor will be able to go to court in person, so I think Wan'er, you better be quiet and don't care so much."
Liu Yi looked at the queen affectionately and said, "Besides, Sister Wan'er, don't you want to be with me all the time?" You'll know later that there's no point in fighting for power, even though you're the queen. But after all, they are all women's families, whether you say it or not, what really has the final say is those eunuchs and ministers, even if it is your eldest brother, a general, what he says is more useful than the queen. And. Empress Dowager Dong didn't dare to really abolish the crown prince, so you can rest assured of this. If you don't care, let things go as they are, the prince will be fine, and if you want to fight with others or something, then the prince's situation will not be good. β
"Well, people listen to you, don't care about so many ......," the queen nodded, and after speaking, she fell into Liu Yi's arms.
Needless to say, Lewy knew what she wanted.
