"Now the emperor is in the palace, and the entire palace is mine, so I can kill him first, and then pretend that he was assassinated by assassins, so that I can bear at most one charge of being unfavorable." Fu Xiujie smiled coldly and said, "Qing Ze, you and I have been father and son for many years, you know very well what kind of temper your father is, so don't provoke me again and again, otherwise you ......"

"Don't hurt her!" Fu Qingze was immediately anxious.

"I said it, if you want me to let the emperor go, you should be obedient." Fu Qingze was defeated, and he said with a begging voice: "Father, I can promise you not to see the emperor alone in the future, but please don't let me leave the palace." Fu Xiujie directly rejected his request,

"No, I just received news that the Queen Mother was poisoned and her life is in danger, I haven't finished dealing with the affairs of the palace yet, and I can't leave Liuhuang Mountain for the time being, so you rush back to the palace to protect the Queen Mother immediately." Fu Qingze was shocked when he heard the news,

"How could the Queen Mother be poisoned for no reason?"

"I haven't found out the cause of the Queen Mother's poisoning yet, but the harem is always restless, you have to stay in Yong'an Palace at all times to avoid anyone wanting to continue to harm the Queen Mother." Fu Qingze didn't speak, Fu Xiujie saw that he was still hesitating, and directly lowered his face,

"Qing Ze, the Queen Mother is your aunt, she loves you very much since she was a child, and often takes you into the palace to play, she treats you like her own son, and now her life is in danger, shouldn't you go into the palace to protect her?" Fu Qingze was very entangled for a while, as his father said, the Empress Dowager Fu was really good to him, and he had always respected her in his heart, and when he heard that she was poisoned, he was also worried, it stands to reason that he should indeed enter the palace to protect him when the Empress Dowager is in a critical situation.

But he couldn't let go of Song Jiu now, and he promised her that no matter what happened, he would stay by her side to protect her.

Now he has to break his promise. The more Fu Qingze thought about it, the more he felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.

"Father, can you find a way to send a few good guards into the palace to protect the Queen Mother?" Fu Xiujie frowned, and he replied, "Qing Ze, do you think that you can protect the Queen Mother with good guards?" The Queen Mother has a lot of capable subordinates around her, but she was still secretly poisoned, do you know why? Fu Qingze pondered and asked, "Father, do you suspect that the Queen Mother was calculated by her own subordinates?" ”

"I'm not sure yet." Fu Xiujie replied: "But I think it is very likely that the Queen Mother was betrayed by the people around her, the Queen Mother has been immersed in the harem for many years, her vigilance is very strong, and ordinary people can't calculate her at all, so it is very likely that the people who can poison her quietly are the acquaintances around her." Fu Xiujie looked at Fu Qingze fixedly when he said this, and asked, "Now do you know why I have to let you enter the palace to protect the Queen Mother?" The Queen Mother is in critical condition, I don't worry about anyone at all, now only you are the only one I trust, so I hope you can stay by the Queen Mother's side until she is okay. Fu Xiujie said it to this point, so that Fu Qingze had no room to refuse.

"Father, I can enter the palace to protect the Queen Mother, but you must protect the Emperor Zhou Quan."

"You really miss the emperor no matter what time you go." Fu Xiujie looked dissatisfied, but he finally persuaded Fu Qingze to return to the palace, so he didn't say anything cruel, for fear that it would irritate Fu Qingze and cause him to regret it, in short, no matter what he wanted to do with Song Jiu next, he would get Fu Qingze away first.

Fu Xiujie slowed down his tone, and he spoke: "Okay! I promise you, I don't move the emperor is! As for the others, you don't have to worry, I will never let others attack the emperor on my territory. Fu Qingze felt slightly relieved, and he replied: "Father, you must do what you say." Gu Shengan hurried back to the imperial city, because now everyone thought that he was dead in Liuhuang Mountain, so he couldn't reveal his whereabouts, Gu Shengan had no way to walk in directly from the main gate, so he slipped into the harem quietly under the cover of the secret guards.

Gu Shengan did not go to Yong'an Palace to see the situation of Empress Dowager Fu, but walked directly into the Zhongyuan Palace, because Song Jiu had been away for a while, there had been no master in the palace, and the palace maids and eunuchs inside were very lax, including the guards in charge of guarding were also lazy and lazy, so Gu Shengan walked in very easily.

Zhang Yi has been following Gu Sheng'an's side, he really doesn't understand why the emperor is obviously not in the Zhongyuan Palace, why did the Taifu come over, and when the two walked into the courtyard, Zhang Yi couldn't help it, he asked: "Taifu, shouldn't we go to Yong'an Palace at this moment?" Why come here? The emperor is not here! ”

"Of course I know that the emperor is not here, and I didn't come here to see the emperor."

"Then what are you doing when you come to the Zhongyuan Palace?" Zhang Yi was really confused, and he continued to ask. Gu Shengan didn't answer Zhang Yi's question, he walked directly to Song Jiu's dormitory, only to see him stretch out his hand and push open the door of the dormitory and walk in, Zhang Yi originally wanted to follow, but Gu Shengan directly asked him to stay outside the door.

Zhang Yi was a little stunned for a moment,

"Taifu, what are you doing in the emperor's palace alone?" Gu Shengan glanced at Zhang Yi and replied: "Why do you talk so much, don't ask if you don't know, stay outside the door honestly, and don't let anyone break in." Zhang Yi was reprimanded by Gu Sheng'an, lowered his head, he didn't dare to ask more,

"Don't worry, Taifu, I will guard the door." Gu Sheng'an strode into the inner hall, there was a woman sitting inside, she heard movement behind her, and immediately turned around, when she saw that the person who came was Gu Sheng'an, she immediately stood up in surprise,

"You...... Are you Mrs. Gu? She asked incredulously. Gu Shengan sneered and said, "Eldest Princess Liyang, are you surprised to see me?" The eldest princess of Liyang stabilized her emotions, and she asked, "Mrs. Gu, didn't you fall off the cliff and die?" How did you end up here? Could it be that I stayed in this palace for too long and had hallucinations? ”

"You're not hallucinating." Gu Shengan replied: "I'm not dead. ”

"Since you didn't die, then why didn't you show up, do you know that there are rumors throughout Kyoto that you fell off a cliff and died."

"Since they like to spread this rumor, then I'll let them spread enough, I want to see how many people in the entire government and opposition are waiting for my death."

"So you deliberately played dead!" The eldest princess of Liyang asked, "What is your purpose in doing this?" Gu Shengan didn't answer the question of the eldest princess of Liyang, he looked at her with dark eyes, and asked, "You have been staying in the middle for three consecutive days."
