Chapter 222: Multi-party surveillance
"The Queen Mother summoned you, what is the so-called matter?"
Emperor Xiaoming seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage to ask this sentence, which was very tactful and flickering, but Zilong clearly found something intriguing from his gaze.
Maybe Emperor Xiaoming knew some of the things that Empress Dowager Hu Ling did, but he was unwilling to expose them, Zilong was always too soft-hearted and laughed.
"Hehe, unlike you, she hopes that I can protect your safety, it's your safety and not the Great Wei Jiangshan Sheji, I want to ......"
Zilong paused, he didn't know if Emperor Xiaoming could understand what he meant, so he skimmed the somewhat surprised Emperor Xiaoming and continued: "I think, she must love you very much!" ”
Hearing Zilong's words, Emperor Xiaoming was obviously stunned, maybe he didn't experience it himself, maybe it was different from what others said, in short, Emperor Xiaoming may not have such an answer in his heart at all.
In fact, according to the customs of the Xianbei people, there is a situation called inheritance marriage, Emperor Xuanwu died, and the things left behind should be inherited by the eldest son, but the eldest son died early, and Emperor Xiaoming became the legitimate heir.
Among the things left by Emperor Xuanwu are his wife, and Empress Dowager Hu Ling, according to this custom, is not only the mother of Emperor Xiaoming, but also the concubine of Emperor Xiaoming.
It's just that Emperor Xiaoming is really young now, although he already has concubines, but they are likely to be in name only, and the reason why he cares about this issue now may only be out of concern for his mother as a son.
Zilong's words undoubtedly made Emperor Xiaoming have another inexplicable feeling, but even he may not have thought that he would think like this.
"Oh, just step down if it's okay! I'm tired and want to rest! ”
Sure enough, it's the mother and son, even the tone of speech is the same, Zilong is also drunk, okay, you are all tired and tired, but my Zilong will continue to be tired, after all, comfort is reserved for the dead.
After saying goodbye to the palace, Zilong pondered all the way where the feeling of being put in the net came from, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
There are too many things that can't be figured out, and Zilong can't think about everything, unconsciously, he actually walked to the Qinghe Palace, hesitated, and Zilong still didn't go in.
Now after all, the situation is still vague, Zilong can't show that he is too close to a certain faction, especially Qinghe Wang Yuanyi, after all, he is still too weak.
At that time, if you are targeted because your actions are too obvious, and you fall short in the end, it will be worth the loss.
Shaking his head, he was ready to go back to the post station, this day's battle of wits and courage, dealing with too many things, and receiving too much information, Zilong was really tired.
Especially the Empress Dowager Hu Ling's walk around, which made Zilong's blood boil, but he had to restrain himself, if he didn't have to deal with Emperor Xiaoming later, he would probably be tired at that time.
What I didn't expect was that Emperor Xiaoming brought his own impact, which was not less than that of Empress Dowager Hu Ling, no wonder this mother and son made the Northern Wei Dynasty in jeopardy, and it was really difficult to deal with.
Now, everything is over, for the time being, and a deep sense of exhaustion comes to mind in an instant, and Zilong needs to take a good rest.
Turning around and returning to the post station, Zilong didn't notice that around the Qinghe Palace, there seemed to be countless eyes staring at him, quietly following.
And at this moment, in the Qinghe Palace, someone is reporting to Yuan Yi.
"Lord Wang, Dugu Zilong hesitated for a moment in front of the mansion, and then left, our people are following to see where he goes."
Yuan Yi's face now doesn't seem to be very good, and under the slightly frowning brows, those eyes don't have much joy of today's victory, but are full of dark light.
"Go down, watch him well, don't let go, always guard his safety, at the critical moment, even if you exchange your life for your life, you don't hesitate to let him have any accidents!"
After speaking, Yuan Yi stared at the portraits of Emperor Xiaowen and Emperor Xuanwu hanging on the wall, and was stunned for a long time, his fingers kept clenching, making a creaking sound.
Jiangyang Palace, there are also people rushing back and forth at this moment.
"Lord Wang, Dugu Zilong lingered in the Qinghe Palace, and now he has returned to the post station, and our people are already there without eyeliner and always watching."
Yuan Yi looked at a middle-aged man beside him who was not young, but did not have a trace of beard, and asked with disdain: "Liu Teng, as for being so popular?" It's just a demotion! ”
It turned out that the middle-aged man was Liu Teng, the head of the eunuchs.
His face looked a little disgusted, and he didn't know whether he was disgusted that Zilong had not entered the Qinghe Palace, or because he was disgusted with Yuan Yi's rat eyes.
"You have already suffered a dark loss, whether Dugu Zilong helped you or not, maybe, don't forget, the news we just got, he had to be summoned by the Empress Dowager Hu Ling alone for half an hour!"
"What's that, a little young ~ woman, when you see a handsome offspring, you will inevitably be moved, even if you are summoned alone, you won't be hungry for half an hour, you don't know that old lady!"
What Yuan Yi said was ~ trivial, mixed with some sourness that he couldn't eat grapes, but what he said was true, which Liu Teng did not deny, because every time Yuan Yi stayed in the Queen Mother's bedroom, it would take at least an hour.
Of course, he may also suspect that Zilong may not be as brave as Yuan Yi in some aspects, but Liu Teng is reluctant to think so, what he is more afraid of is that in this half an hour, Empress Dowager Hu Ling has done something more than he and Yuan Yi imagined.
Gaoyang Palace, at this moment, there are also people returning to Yuanyong.
"Lord Yu, Dugu Zilong did not go to Qinghe Wangfu or Jiangyang Wangfu, and went back to the post station directly, and there was news in the palace that Empress Dowager Hu Ling summoned Dugu Zilong alone for about half an hour, and Emperor Xiaoming also spent about a stick of incense alone with Dugu Zilong."
With a "bang", Yuan Yong took the case, startling the people who came and went, Yuan Yong's fat face trembled, gritted his teeth and said: "Go down first and continue to keep an eye on me, see if he has any suspicious movements, and report it immediately." ”
The man had just retreated, and Yuan Yong began to curse.
"Cheap ~ women, corrupt the dynasty, incestuous and incest, the royal face, let you lose everything, brother, this is the good daughter-in-law you chose at the beginning, if you can see it in the spirit of heaven, bless her to accompany your son as soon as possible!"
……
All the forces seem to be focusing their attention on the small Luoyang Beicheng Post Station at this moment, and the master who is closely monitored by them is lying on the bed at the moment, listening to Dugu's wishful chatter. (To be continued.) )
