Youmei gently pulled back Tongguan's hand, retracted her smile and said, "Sister Tongguan, we should go and thank Your Majesty for your grace." But before thanking Your Majesty, Sister Tongguan please accept Youmei's worship first. ”

After Youmei finished speaking, she immediately knelt on the ground and was about to bow down to Tongguan.

"I can't do it! I can't help it! …… Hurry up, hurry up! Tong Guan hurriedly bent down to support Youmei's shoulders, and seeing that she stubbornly refused to get up, he simply knelt on the ground and said uncomfortably: "Youmei, what is this doing?" ”

Youmei raised her head, and her big round eyes had begun to moisten, "Sister Tongguan, because Youmei had a hard heart, she had to live up to the friendship between the two of us as sisters, and she didn't tell you in advance about such a big thing as secretly telling Your Majesty, and she was detained by Your Majesty together with you." My sister and everyone didn't know anything about it, but they still believed in Youmei and tried their best to defend Youmei; The elder sister also went out of the palace alone to find Youmei's brother and clear Youmei's charges. Youmei knows that her sister has been in the palace since she was a child, and she has no relatives outside the palace, so she almost never leaves the palace, and she doesn't know anything about the situation outside the palace; However, in order to find Youmei's brother, who had resigned from prison, the elder sister traveled to many places and suffered from traveling, and managed to bring her brother into the palace, risking a capital crime and hiding her brother for many days, until the elder brother was able to present his case in front of His Majesty...... My sister is very kind, and it is really ...... to have Mei."

Before Youmei finished speaking, her throat was already choked, and two lines of tears couldn't stop rolling down her cheeks.

"Silly sister." Tong Guan's eyes were also slightly red, she reached out and touched Youmei's bun, and smiled: "Since you said that we are sisters, and we are still so outside, we really deserve to fight." I have no parents since I was a child, and a few of you are all my relatives, I think, for the sake of my relatives, no matter what you have to do and what you give, it is worth it, so you don't talk about these little things. If it had been me, not you, who had been locked up by His Majesty first, I think each of you would have defended me in the same way; You're going to do whatever it takes to get me out, right? ”

Youmei nodded vigorously, wiped her tears, and smiled again.

"Sister, otherwise, let's just say goodbye." Tong Guan's eyes lit up and said, "Just in front of Concubine Hui's spiritual seat, let Niangniang give us a witness." ”

Youmei was happy at first, then her eyes widened, and she shook her head again and again and muttered, "No, no...... We are sisters, so aren't my sister and brother also brother and sister? ”

"This ...... Why not? Tong Guan blinked, not knowing why.

"No, it's just can't ......" Youmei looked left and right, vague.

At this moment, there was a burst of boiling laughter from outside, which startled the two and hurriedly got up from the ground.

I saw a group of palace people from other palaces, and when they saw Tong Guan and Youmei, they all surrounded them with a smile on their faces.

"Tong Guan, Youmei, congratulations!" A palace maid arched her hand again and again: "Your Majesty not only let you keep filial piety for Concubine Hui openly, but also ordered you to go to Weiyang Palace to serve after you are all filial piety, what a grace that is!" It's enviable! ”

Another palace maid also smiled and said: "Yes, from now on, you will be happy to come, and you will have a beautiful scenery, and you don't have to live this kind of life without food and clothing." ”

"Isn't it?" An attendant also accosted: "This must be Concubine Hui's spirit in heaven, grateful for your loyalty, silently bless you!" ”

Tong Guan showed a grateful smile, and before he could speak, he bowed deeply to everyone, and Youmei behind her also hurriedly stepped forward with understanding, and also bent down and bowed, until everyone was embarrassed and said, "Why is this?" Why is that? ”

Tong Guan straightened up before he said: "The days of suffering in Ganlu Palace, thanks to the generosity of all the brothers and sisters, a few of us were able to survive the hard days and support the day when the Holy Grace of the Dao came. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to support it a long time ago. How can a shallow bow be enough to express our gratitude to you? ”

When everyone heard this, they were both embarrassed about the past and happy for them now, and you and I began to talk word by word.

At this moment, a group of people walked in from outside the gate. When everyone looked back, they saw a group of guards, and their relaxed and happy mood suddenly dissipated, and they wondered what else was happening.

I saw a person at the head, wearing the court uniform of a four-grade military attaché, with a tall and strong physique, a national character and a face, a pair of big eyes and bright eyes, thick eyebrows and a knife, refreshing and majestic.

As soon as she saw this person, Youmei took the lead in greeting him and said happily: "Brother! ”

That person was none other than Youmei's brother Wei Chi Nan.

Only then did everyone settle down and no longer worry about any waves. But Youmei, the four-grade brother who suddenly appeared, surprised everyone.

At this time, Tong Guan also stepped forward, said a blessing to Yu Chi Nan, and said with a smile: "Yu Chi Gongzi, oh, no, Your Majesty has already appointed Gongzi as the commander of the guards of the Forbidden Palace, and it should be called Wei Chi Da." ”

Wei Chi Nan smiled and arched his hand and said: "Miss Tongguan made fun of it, there are officials and non-officials, high officials and low officials, there is no difference between the subordinates, as long as you can be loyal by Your Majesty's side, it is enough." He turned to look at the group of guards behind him and said, "Your Majesty knows that Ganlu Palace is understaffed, and it may be difficult to handle the funeral for Concubine Hui, so he specially ordered to bring some brothers to help prepare the guards, and after you have finished the funeral, I will report to Weiyang Palace with you." His Majesty also asked me to pass on the word that you don't have to go to Weiyang Palace to thank you, concentrate on doing a good job of the funeral, and also have a heart for her. ”

Hearing the Son of Heaven is like seeing the Son of Heaven in person. Tong Guan and Youmei both consciously knelt on the ground and gratefully agreed.

At this time, in the imperial study, there was an old minister sitting and talking with Zuo Ying.

The old minister was wearing a second-class court uniform, and he looked like he was close to his prime, with spotted temples, short hair, and silver white, and his gestures were not very neat, and he looked old, but at this time, when he answered Zuo Ying, his voice was calm and his thinking logic was extremely clear. This person was the old minister who drafted the edict on behalf of the emperor when he was dying, and established Zuo Ying as the crown prince.

He said in an orderly manner: "The old minister should not have commented on his colleagues, but thanks to His Majesty's trust in the old minister, the old minister has the courage to express his own foolish opinions, hoping that it will be beneficial to His Majesty." ”

Zuo Ying nodded and motioned for him to continue.

Zuo Ying knew that in order to stabilize and strengthen his own power, he couldn't just rely on the strength of the Li Group - if he couldn't realize this, it would be tantamount to cultivating a second "Helan Chu" with his own hands without knowing it. Therefore, she wants to understand who else can be used in the DPRK and China, and she can rely on it.

When the old and the new rulers are replaced, it is also when many opportunistic elements smell that there is an opportunity to turn over, and they will move closer to the center of power one after another, showing off and flattering; And many high-minded people with real talent and real learning disdain to do so and have been buried again and again. The people who recommend themselves are not all people who are untalented and unvirtuous, and it is not possible to do it at a glance to get the essence from the bad; And to discover the hidden talents, we need to have a deep discernment. Therefore, Zuo Ying thought of Dugu Mingde, who had been rolling in the officialdom all his life, and had also watched this changing court coldly for a lifetime.
