The changes in the West Garden Army have come to an end for the time being.

Inside the palace, the turmoil has not stopped. In other words, the turmoil has stopped, but the aftermath has not subsided, and it continues to spread.

The eunuchs walking in the palace were cautious, and the panic on their faces was so intense, as if they were afraid of something. When they saw those Yulin Army guards standing on both sides of the palace road and on guard, they would unconsciously slow down, and they didn't dare to let out a big breath, and their whole hearts were lifted, until they walked over and walked away, they quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Next to the palace road, on the corners, on the stone steps, buckets of water were splashed down, and a famous eunuch and palace maid were holding washing tools and brushing the stained places. The imprints in those places have become extremely faint, and after being washed and brushed, there will be no traces.

These places used to have blood stains, blood stains. There are also corpses, but the corpses are dragged away and disposed of, and then the blood stains are washed away, and no one will be able to see anything different from them.

The palace is still the palace, and it will always be like this. The people inside came and went, life and death, and except for a few particularly prominent people, no one could leave an indelible mark on the palace.

On the corridor leading to the emperor's bedroom, Empress He was walking towards the emperor's bedroom, surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs.

Empress He's pretty face was cold, as if she was covered with a layer of ice, plus her majesty was originally heavy. At this moment, the eunuchs and palace maids who followed them, the closest people, could also feel a cold and heavy pressure pressing on their hearts. Let them breathe. Some people are careful to avoid making a slight noise when they swallow their saliva.

As the mistress of the palace, Queen He, if not the first to know, the big and small things that happened in the palace, will be the second to know. So she knew, knew what Zhao Zhong and the others had done, and knew the fact that her brother was seriously injured and almost died.

At that moment, Queen He deeply blamed herself, she didn't know that Shichang's hand was stretched out so deeply, and such a chess piece was arranged beside her, which led to the current situation. Almost, just a little, if the plan of the Ten Standing Servants had not been discovered by Liu Xuan, the commander of the Yulin Guard, then what would happen next was simply unpredictable.

Only then did she acquiesce to Liu Xuan's attack in the palace, cut off the wings of the ten permanent servants, and get rid of all the henchmen of the ten permanent servants Zhao Zhong and others. This is also the first time in dozens of centuries that blood has appeared in the Luoyang Imperial Palace.

Empress He looked to the side, and there were mottled red dots on the palace wall in the distance, like a blooming plum blossom. The color is bright, and each petal is extremely red, and it is vivid.

There were eunuchs and palace maids standing next to them, ready to clean these flowers on the palace wall. As soon as the water was splashed up, the water flowed down from above, lightening the bright red.

Soon, the plum blossoms on it withered, and they no longer had the same appearance as when they bloomed. Soon, nothing will be left of this blood, only a little pen and ink in the history books.

Looking back, the faint feeling in my heart melted like a cloud of smoke. Queen He's heart returned to its previous coldness, and it was so cold that gave her a little sense of security.

In this same cold and hard world, if her heart is not cold and hard, who can she rely on? Only when it is cold and hard can you stand firm in the palace and keep walking.

No one can be relied on. Her husband, the most noble and powerful man in the world, Liu Hong. Can't rely on it.

Her elder brother has a pivotal position in the imperial court, and he is the general who controls the military power in the world, He Jin. Equally unreliable.

So now, she has to do what she has to do, at least, for herself, for Liu Wei, there are some things she has to do. Just as she chose to poison Wang Meiren at the beginning, that was also something she had to do.

If she hadn't done this at that time, then it would be very likely that she would have died now, and even her defense would be in a dangerous situation. This kind of thing was countless in the past, and people's desires are always endless. If you get good, you will want to be better, and you will work hard for a better place.

Queen He does not repent of her actions, there is nothing to repent, and she will not say whether what she did was right or wrong. But the fact that she was standing here, walking in the palace, as the most honorable woman in the whole world, proved in itself that she was right.

Right or wrong, sometimes it's so simple. It is right to live and win, and it is right to die, and it is wrong to lose. The original Empress Lu was like this, and so was she.

"The Queen." Liu Xuan, who was standing outside the dormitory, saw the arrival of Queen He, and hurriedly knelt down, clasped his fists and said.

Beside him, the guards of the Yulin Army who were guarding everywhere also knelt down and saluted, and the armor leaves of the armor collided in a series of sounds.

"Excuse me, get up." Empress He raised her hands upward.

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Liu Xuan said respectfully, and then stood up.

"Thank you, Queen Mother." After Liu Xuan got up, the other Yulin Army guards also said in unison and also stood up.

"Is Niangniang here to visit Your Majesty today?" Liu Xuan asked.

Empress He glanced at Liu Xuan, nodded, and said, "Yes." ”

"Please also ask the mother to go in alone." Liu Xuan continued.

In the past, it was the rule that no matter who was not summoned by the Son of Heaven, they could only enter the palace alone to visit. The reason why two of the Ten Standing Servants went in together was that after the Son of Heaven woke up, he ordered Liu Xuan to let them in.

Otherwise, no matter who wants to enter, the first thing to pass is his Liu Xuan's new level. The Yulin guards he arranged to guard the dormitory were the most elite ones, and the Yulin guards who took his orders as the first criterion.

Without Liu Xuan's order, they would not let people in, whether it was the queen or anyone else. If you offend other people, they will not necessarily die, but if they can't fulfill the military order, they will definitely die.

"Hongu knows." Empress He said lightly.

Liu Xuan stepped back a distance to the side, raised his hand, and waved it lightly. Behind him, the two Yulin guards standing on the left and right sides in front of the door of the dormitory slowly pushed open the door of the dormitory.

Empress He walked towards the door of the dormitory, and behind her, all the palace maids and eunuchs she brought were all standing in place. They could only wait here, waiting for the queen to come out of the palace.

When she walked to the position parallel to Liu Xuan, Queen He stopped.

Liu Xuan could smell the faint orchid-like fragrance that Queen He carried, faint and not strong, but this fragrance would really sink into his heart. Otherwise, no matter how strong the fragrance is, it can only be pungent, and there will be no other sensation except irritating the nose.

He didn't have any beautiful thoughts in his heart, a beautiful woman like Queen He, especially this kind of strong woman temperament, could attract many men. The other small part, the men who are not attracted, Liu Xuan is among them.

Some flowers are poisonous and have thorns. Only some dead bees and butterflies will approach and want to pick them. However, they will all die, at least for now, no matter who they are, while he Liu Xuan is still there.

His duty, the duty of the Yulin Army, is to defend the palace and protect the emperor and empress. Liu Xuan just wants to do his duty well, or if he is finished, or if he is not done, he can finish his life as Liu Xuan.

I'm really tired. However, whether in the game or in reality, there are some tiredness and some things that people have to continue doing.

"Thank you."

Hearing Queen He's coquettish voice, Liu Xuan was a little stunned, he actually heard thank you? The queen is such a noble woman, it can be said that the most powerful woman in the whole game will say thank you to him.

Although surprised, Liu Xuan immediately hugged his fists and said, "Where is the duty of the minister." ”

Empress He bowed her head, and after listening to Liu Xuan's answer, there was no extra expression on her face. She continued to walk forward, crossing the threshold and entering the chamber.

"Stand down." She walked into the dormitory and said to the ladies in the dormitory.

"Yes." The palace ladies gave a salute in unison, stood up again, and exited the dormitory in a neat and orderly manner.

After the last maid left, the door to the dormitory was re-closed by the Yulin Army guards. In the entire dormitory, only Queen He was left, and the current son lying on the bed, Liu Hong.

Two people, husband and wife.

Queen He doesn't know how long it has been, and she hasn't been with Liu Hong so alone. More often, when two people stay together, they are surrounded by many palace maids and eunuchs.

Speaking of which, between them, they are really inferior to those ordinary couples in the folk. Feelings, it seems that until now, the so-called feelings, there is nothing left.

Or, from the beginning there was no emotion? If there were feelings, she wouldn't have had to attack Wang Meiren at the beginning.

It is precisely because she has no feelings and knows Liu Hong's personality that Queen He will choose such a cold way.

The corners of Empress He's mouth curled up and a smile appeared. The smile is very bright, there is really a smile, and everything else loses the taste of color. If anyone is here, whether it is a man or a woman, I am afraid that they will lose their minds for a while and be infected by this smile.

Walking towards Liu Hong step by step, Queen He seemed to be walking all her life, every step lifted, every step fell, there would be previous memories flashing from his mind. From the girlhood, to the time when she entered the palace, to this time now, every step, every memory, is so clear.

The last step fell, and Queen He stood in front of the bed, from the memories of the past, to the present. Looking at Liu Hong's face, she felt a sense of strangeness, as if she was facing a stranger.

Liu Hong's face was so thin, the flesh on his cheeks was deeply sunken, and he couldn't see any of his former appearance.

Queen He suddenly had some soft-heartedness, at least for her, if it weren't for Liu Hong, she wouldn't be able to become what she is now, standing in the position of the queen. Yes, it's all because of Liu Hong, there is no Liu Hong, and there is no current her.

However, it is also because of him that all this is happening now.

You have to know what kind of torture and blow it will be for a person when you stand on the top of the mountain and see so many scenery.

She knows it, she knows it. Without Liu Hong, the order of the Son of Heaven, even if the Ten Standing Servants were rampant, they would not have done such a bold thing.

All of this is nothing more than Liu Hong's love for Liu Xie, and he wants to pass on the throne to Liu Xie!

She can forgive a lot, forgive Liu Hong for liking the new and hating the old, and forgive Liu Hong for quickly snubbing her after Wang Meiren entered the palace. She can forgive these things, but the only thing she can't forgive is that Liu Hong is so ruthless about her own flesh and blood, her defense.

Even now, Bian'er is still only a prince, not a prince.

Looking at Liu Hong, Empress He's gaze gradually became cold.

She didn't know her anymore, and what she was seeing in front of her was just a stranger. What feelings does she have for strangers?

No, no, all none.

"Water, water," Liu Hong muttered in a low voice.

But for a long time, no one brought water, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.

He was often awake from thirst, and after drinking water, he fell back into a deep sleep. After such a long time, Liu Hong gradually felt that his body had recovered a little, maybe a little longer, he could get better, right?

"What about people? What about people? To me..."Liu Hong said, suddenly stopped, panting rapidly, and it took a long time to recover.

"Bring me water..."

Seeing this scene, Queen He felt deeply sad, such a man who couldn't even get the water by himself was still the co-master of the world in the past? It's a little ridiculous.

Her lips moved lightly, and she said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, there is only one concubine left here." ”

When Liu Hong heard the voice, he opened his eyelids with difficulty and looked at Queen He for a long time. After a long time, he finally saw Queen He's appearance clearly.

"Queen, help me bring water... I... Thirsty. Liu Hong said in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, why do you have to drink water?" Empress He asked.

"Also, the concubine came this time, not to feed the water, but to tell His Majesty something."

Looking at Liu Hong, Queen He continued to speak to herself.

"The Ten Standing Servants have been killed in an attempt to cause chaos. As far as the concubines know, all this is caused by Liu Xie's desire to sit on the throne of the crown prince and conspire with the ten permanent servants! ”

"I also hope that Your Majesty will be aware and issue an edict to abolish the Prince's Association! If Your Majesty can't bear it, the concubines can also do it for you. Anyway, didn't Your Majesty also let the Ten Standing Servants do this? If they do it, the concubines will naturally do it. ”

Liu Hong suddenly felt cold, and at this moment, he was in the futon, without any warmth, and his whole body began to tremble.
