A group of convoys drove on the official road, and a carriage in the middle of the convoy was very gorgeously decorated. In particular, there are some specifications that ordinary people cannot use, and they can only be used by the royal family.

A discerning person can see that the owner of this carriage should belong to the royal family. Exactly who was sitting in the carriage, although very curious, no one dared to explore.

All this was because, next to the carriage, it was guarded by hundreds of cavalry. More than 100 cavalrymen, guarding on both sides, followed the carriage slowly, and when they looked at the pedestrians with an inquiring mentality, they immediately made these people look away, and they didn't even dare to look at it, for fear that they would violate some taboo in the next moment.

In the carriage, an old woman with an old countenance, but still a trace of the beauty of the past, sat on the carriage, and the clothes she was wearing, although the color was ordinary, still showed something extraordinary in the texture.

The interior of the carriage was very spacious, so spacious that she sat in it alone, and it seemed a little empty. At her hand there was a small desk, on which were a few small snacks, so that the old woman could have a few bites when she was hungry.

She was the Empress Dowager Dong who was going to her hometown in Hejian, she was in the carriage, knowing that she was going to her hometown in Hejian, but she didn't have any excitement closer to her hometown. On the contrary, there was a trace of uneasiness in my heart, which was slowly spreading and becoming more and more intense.

This return to her hometown was not her intention at all, and if she really wanted to return to her hometown, it should not be at this moment, when her son was not yet buried. But she had to go, and if she didn't want to, she had to go.

In the current palace, it is completely the world of the woman of the He family, and the He family asked her to go, and she had to go. But she still didn't want to go, but in the end, she got on the carriage back to her hometown.

Beside her, there was only one palace maid who had served in the palace for a long time, and the other palace maids and eunuchs were all sent by the He family to serve her. When she left the palace, many eunuchs and palace maids who had served her for a long time wanted to come back to the river with her, but they were rejected by the He family for various reasons.

Now, except for the old palace maid sitting outside, Empress Dowager Dong is here, and there is no one she knows at all. Although those eunuchs and palace maids, when they stopped to rest, served her very diligently, and couldn't pick any thorns at all, the Empress Dowager Dong's uneasiness still did not lessen.

She is very aware of the woman of the He family, from her Hong'er, who included the He family into the palace, to the time when she wanted to establish the He family as the queen later, she was also extremely opposed. But it didn't work, He still became the lord of the first palace and the queen of the world.

thought that everything would develop according to a good situation in the future, and the He family also gave birth to a prince, who was the eldest son of the righteous son. At that time, the Empress Dowager Dong was very happy, compared to other things, maintaining the continuation of the royal bloodline, the orthodoxy of the royal family, is the most important thing.

She didn't expect that next, a series of things, instead of getting better, became worse and worse.

First, the emperor favored Wang Meiren, and then Wang Meiren gave birth to a child, and also gave birth to a prince. At this time, she was also happy, the more princes, the more branches of the royal family.

What happened next was completely unexpected by her, the He family actually killed Wang Meiren in the palace! Although He was cunning in every possible way later, only she could do this matter, and no one else had the ability and means.

Although I knew, it was useless, with the He family in the harem, and her brother He Jin was the general in the previous dynasty, it was basically impossible to abolish the queen. So later, the emperor poured all his love for Wang Meiren into the prince born to Wang Meiren.

It was this incident that aroused the jealousy of the He family, and in the end, the emperor had to send Xie'er to her to raise. She also likes her grandson very much, she thought that such days would last, but she didn't expect that all the tranquility would be broken as Xie'er grew bigger and bigger.

Even if it was her, she couldn't protect the young Xie'er anymore, so she would give him a mansion outside the palace and let him live there. Only in this way can we stay away from the palace, away from the danger here, and away from the dangerous woman of the He family.

"Alas..."Empress Dowager Dong sighed, feeling a little powerless.

From Liu Hong's death to Liu Xie's disappearance, she felt more and more that she was getting old. When I usually do something, I feel a little powerless.

The car window on the side was carried by the wind and showed a little gap, and the Empress Dowager Dong looked out through the gap and could see the cavalry guarding next to her.

She really couldn't say what she would feel like about these cavalrymen. If you really feel it, it's not that you feel at ease, but that you feel a little more uneasy.

She knew that these cavalry were not the Yulin Army, and she couldn't tell the appearance of the Yulin Army from their bodies and the armor they were wearing. That's why she's uneasy, so uneasy.

She believed that the cavalry sent by the He clan said that there were bandits on the road to protect themselves, but in fact, it should be more important to monitor themselves. But Empress Dowager Dong also had no choice, when she was in the palace, she couldn't go out, and she couldn't contact the courtiers outside. It's the same here now, there is also no one to contact, and the one who is loyal to him is just a palace maid.

What can a palace maid do in such a situation? I can't do anything, the only thing I can do is to accompany myself and reduce some of the fatigue caused by the journey.

Empress Dowager Dong now just wants to go back to her hometown Hejian, and then see if there is any way to expose the true face of He's poisonous woman. This woman is so terrible that even she can't help but be secretly frightened.

She felt that there was something strange about the emperor's death, although the emperor's health was very bad during that time, but under the diagnosis and treatment of the imperial doctor, it was a good situation. Including her, a few days before the emperor died, when the emperor was awake, she also visited the emperor, but she didn't expect that just a few days later, the emperor died!

At that time, she was a little suspicious, suspecting that this was done by the woman He. This is just speculation, and the more important reason is that Empress Dowager Dong has no way to believe that this woman can really be mad to this point.

"Queen Mother, it's getting dark, so I'll stay at the post house in front of you tonight?" Outside the carriage, there was an inquiry from the palace maid.

Empress Dowager Dong rubbed her temples, and in the gentle carriage, although it was not bumpy, she also felt more tired. It was a good choice to have a place to rest, at least not to continue like this in the carriage, she was a little out of breath.

"Okay." Empress Dowager Dong said.

When the sun was about to set, the group drove to a post house next to the official road and stopped. After revealing the identity of the cavalry who protected the chariot, he was treated with the highest standard by the post house, and everything was in order, and there were no problems.

As soon as she arrived at the post house, Empress Dowager Dong went to the room to rest, of course, the room she lived in had to be cleaned up by the palace maid in advance before she could move in. Empress Dowager Dong only wants to take a rest now, relieve her fatigue first, and then choose to fall asleep after dinner.

The entire post house, before the Empress Dowager Dong moved in, had been searched by the cavalry guarding to confirm that there would be no danger, and then let the Empress Dowager Dong move in. After confirming the danger, the cavalry set up guards everywhere, standing guards, resting and resting, and only after the agreed time would they be rotated.

Outside the post house, there are also cavalry left behind to stand guard, pay attention to the movement outside. Even now in the official road, where the bandits have obviously subsided, they don't dare to be careless, because the post house is where the Empress Dowager Dong lives, and if anything goes wrong with her, everyone's heads can't continue to stay on their necks.

In addition to these cavalry, the eunuchs and palace maids who came with them also began to get busy, cleaning the post house. When I came, it wasn't good, but when I came, during the time when I waited for the Empress Dowager Dong to come out, I had to clean up the environment to the best state.

There was also the imperial chef in the palace, and there were many raw materials that had been preserved for a long time, so that the people in the post house could go to the nearby market to see what else could be bought, and the imperial chef would make a fire to cook. He doesn't have to be responsible for the eating and drinking of these palace maids and eunuchs, he needs to be responsible for the eating and drinking of the Empress Dowager Dong, and he must also achieve the best state under the existing conditions.

Just looking at the configuration of this team, it is completely impossible to see what Queen He is going to do, it is all perfect. Including daily life, including eating and drinking, it is strictly required by the standards of the palace.

Feeling tired, Empress Dowager Dong will be uneasy, but when nothing happens, she will only think that this uneasiness is just an illusion.

After the car arrived at the post house and stopped, on the official road in the distance, a group of cavalry galloped and followed the trail of the car. They were moving fast through the night, except for the sound of horses' hooves trampling the ground, and then the cavalry had gone farther away.

These cavalrymen, all of whom were black-armored cavalry, maintained a steady posture on the back of a bumpy horse. The subtleties revealed that these cavalry were elite, because their speed was completely free of their horses and running at full speed, which was not something that any cavalry could do.

The cavalryman who led the team, in the moonlight, revealed his true face.

Huaxiong! It's Huaxiong! Dong Zhuo's subordinate general Hua Xiong! It's just that he can't stay by Dong Zhuo's side to protect Dong Zhuo, what is he doing here?
