In the Qianyuan Palace, fruit bowls, teapots and other things were scattered all over the ground.

A group of little eunuchs and palace maids all knelt on the ground, looking trembling in horror, Zhou An lowered his head and entered the main hall, glanced at the situation in the main hall, and his heart sank.

What's going on?!

Empress Shenzhao's temper is excellent, and she is only seventeen years old, not yet at the age of being short-tempered and autocratic, she may not become such a person, now she can not only listen to opinions, but also endure temperament, Zhou An has never seen the empress lose such a big temper.

And from the situation in the palace, Zhou An can also see that it must have not been negotiated, Gao Hong and they did not come up with any good solutions, and they did not solve the problem for the empress, so the empress was angry.

Behind the beaded curtain, the empress was walking back and forth anxiously.

Kang Longji stood silently aside.

Zhou An walked outside the bead curtain and said respectfully: "Holy Lord, the slave is late to come back, please forgive your sins." ”

The empress looked back at the bead curtain violently, she was glaring, staring without saying a word, and only after a while did she suppress the fire and said, "Get over here and talk!" ”

"Yes!" Zhou An responded and walked behind the bead curtain.

"Why did you go? Why did you go? Just back? Just back? Yes?! You don't dare to come if I'm looking for you? How bold you are! What a guts! The empress broke out, picked up the peaches in the only remaining fruit bowl, took them one by one, smashed them one by one, crackled and smashed Zhou An, and finally picked up the fruit bowl and buckled it directly on Zhou An.

Zhou An didn't hide either.

Zhou An didn't feel that he came an hour late, it was a big deal.

This matter is very serious on other people, but it is nothing on Zhou An, with Zhou An's status today, the empress will definitely not criticize him for this, and Zhou An is still very confident in the weight in the empress's heart.

But Zhou An was still smashed.

He knew that the empress was just angry and angry! He just caught up with the empress in anger, and he didn't know what Gao Hong said to the empress just now, and he didn't say anything useful? What's going on?!

Zhou An decided to make a quiet punching bag first, so that the empress could dissipate her breath first.

The empress hit him with something, but he didn't speak, just stood with his head down.

"Are you talking? Are you dumb? Dumb, isn't it?! Yes?! The empress was really out of her mind, and she asked and looked around, as if she was looking for something else to smash.

If she can pick up the things that are thrown out, she has already smashed them.

So, she picked up the small sandalwood table next to the dragon chair with one hand.

The teapots and fruit bowls were placed on the low table before they were smashed out.

The empress actually wanted to move the table and smash Zhou An!

This punching bag is not good!

"Alas, holy, holy, not so ...... Holy Lord, calm down, dissipate your anger...... "Zhou An hurriedly stepped forward and stopped the empress, this move can be described as extremely bold, but Zhou An spoke quickly, stopped and said quickly: "What happened here?" Holy Lord, if something happens, you say, the minions will definitely help you solve it, don't smash it...... It's nothing to smash the minion, I'm afraid that you will flash your waist again and hurt yourself. ”

Zhou An said as he gave Kang Longji a look.

At this time, Kang Longji was able to suppress the empress.

But Kang Longji didn't seem to see Zhou An's eyes, he didn't move, his eyes didn't blink, like an old monk in a fixed place.

Bang!

The small sandalwood table was thrown to the ground by the empress and shattered.

"Good! You said! You solve it for me, you go and see it yourself, go and see ......" The empress was still very angry, pointing to the bead curtain and shouting, "If you can't solve it for me, don't blame me for beating you hard......"

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhou An responded and turned around and walked out of the bead curtain.

He quickly swept his gaze and knew what the empress was referring to...... It was two pieces of paper, it was supposed to be a letter, and it was two letters, because the color and texture of the paper were different, it couldn't be one.

There were melons, fruits, pears and peaches all over the ground, as well as teapots and cups, and the two letters were also on the ground, probably thrown out by the angry empress before.

Zhou An walked over and picked up the two letters.

The first letter, from Yourong Prefecture, a piece of paper is full of words, in fact, the content is not much, this is the second secret letter written by King Rong Jun to the empress, the last secret letter was received three days ago, that is, at ten o'clock in the lunar month, King Rong Jun secretly reported to the empress that Prince Ning secretly entered Beijing, and this secret letter, naturally received today, and it should be this afternoon.

The letter said one thing: The men sent by King Rongjun to hunt down Prince Ning caught up with Prince Ning, but they suffered heavy casualties, and they had already been startled, and Prince Ning was missing!

King Rong Junwang has failed!

The first letter from King Rongjun was sent on the tenth day of the lunar month, but in fact, the letter was sent from Yourong Prefecture on the fifth day of the lunar month, and it was sent to Jingshi after walking on the road for five days, and King Rongjun had already sent people to hunt down Prince Ning at the same time as he sent the letter.

And this second letter was sent on the morning of the eleventh day of the lunar month, and it was sent to the capital after two and a half days on the road, and the second time was much faster than the first time, because the priorities were different, so the second letter sent by King Rongjun was eight hundred miles expedited!

Anyway, Prince Ning knew that someone was chasing him, and Wu Xukuan would soon know that King Rong was naturally not afraid of leaking the news, so he dared to go eight hundred miles to expedite.

Zhou An quickly read the first letter.

Sure enough, it's a big deal! King Rongjun's side was unfavorable, and the people sent to chase him for five or six days, but he didn't win, not to mention the heavy casualties, and let Prince Ning escape, which was more serious than killing Prince Ning on the spot.

Prince Ning was already alert that his subsequent route to Beijing would inevitably be difficult to trace, more secretive, and more difficult to find.

If this really lets Prince Ning enter Beijing, then it will be a lot of fun!

However, Zhou An didn't think that the empress would lose such a temper because of this kind of thing, after all, Prince Ning's matter has not come to fruition, once it is unsuccessful, just continue to send someone to hunt down, or even issue a chase and kill order...... After all, there is a chance to solve the problem, so why bother?

Zhou An immediately looked at the second letter.

He knew that the main reason for the empress's tantrum was probably on the second letter!

The second letter is also eight hundred miles expedited!

However, it is not from Yourong Prefecture, but from Baijiang, the southernmost part of Zhongzhou...... Baijiang is not an official place name, but the joint name of Baihu Mountain, the most famous mountain on the southern edge of Zhongzhou, and the Cangjiang River, the second largest river in Dongqian, its main river is in Jiangzhou, and its tributaries connect eight states.

Jiangzhou is just to the south, next to Zhongzhou.

At the southern foot of Baihu Mountain, there are tributaries of the Cangjiang River.

And that tributary of the Cangjiang River happens to be the "dividing line" of Zhongzhou and Jiangzhou.

Therefore, the southernmost part of Zhongzhou, Baihu Mountain and the surrounding places, is called Baijiang.

The most famous thing about Baijiang is not a person or a city, but an army, which is part of the Zhongzhou Army, a regiment that guards the southern end of Zhongzhou, called the Baijiang Army!

The content of the letter is simple, with few words, and it only says one thing.

——100,000 Baijiang troops mutinied and rebelled!
