Chapter 12: Leaving the Palace
Qiu Zhentian resolutely disagreed, and planned to hand over a post to meet the Empress Dowager.
Qiu Jue naturally knew, stopped him, and said: "Grandpa, the emperor is making a secret visit this time, and it is clear that I am the only one, even if those people have intentions, what is the use of killing me as a powerless queen mother?" β
"You, you're still too naΓ―ve, if you can't keep it, someone will already know the news that the emperor is leaving Beijing."
Qiu Jue sent Qiu Zhentian away after thousands of persuasions, of course she knew this.
But she has her own ideas, as long as she can ensure the emperor's safe return this time, the ancestors and grandchildren will definitely be grateful to her, then her will to leave the palace can be more lightly obtained.
There is another reason, it is because of Qiu Chan.
Ten days later, the news that the Empress Dowager of the West went out to patrol Huai'an flew everywhere like wings, and the people said goodbye to the people before leaving Beijing, saying that the Empress Dowager, who was only fifteen years old, was sympathetic to the people.
Of course, there are also people who see through the royal family's plans and feel pity for her.
Either way, Yu Qiujue is beneficial.
At this moment, she was sitting in a luxurious carriage drawn by five horses, accompanied by Qiu Chan and Xiao Taohong, and there was a long queue outside.
"What are you all doing with your faces?"
Qiu Jue was helpless, how could she have an expression that she was going to die?
Xiao Taohong knelt on the side, chattering in the past, since she knew that she was going to be ordered to tour the south, she was sullen, and after the persuasion was fruitless, she had a thief's expression all day long.
looks like a killer, but he doesn't pay much attention to Qiu Jue.
Qiu Chan was even more excessive, ignoring her directly.
Standing next to her all day with a sword, but he didn't even give her a straight eye.
"What does the mother want to do, the slaves and maids can't stop it, but you can't watch it with twelve points of spirit to protect the safety of the mother."
Xiao Taohong said sullenly, flattened the winter carpet, and served Qiu Jue a stack of snacks.
Qiu Jue comforted, "There are hundreds of people outside to protect the palace, who is so short-sighted and dares to do it in broad daylight?" β
As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion outside, and Qiu Chan was the first to lift the curtain and rush out.
The little peach was tightly protected in front of Qiu Jue, with a solemn look in her eyes.
Qiu Jue hadn't swallowed the snack in his mouth yet, and he almost choked himself to death, and it took a long time to swallow it with saliva, and said in his heart: This is too unlucky, right?
Qiu Chan came in again to confirm her statement.
There are really people who want to kill her, the pretending Queen Mother of the West, in broad daylight.
The commotion of the "Niang Niang ......" quickly subsided, and those people came and went as fast as they could, leaving dozens of corpses behind and retreating in a hurry.
This time he was accompanied by a person from the Regent's faction, named Li Jingzhi, about 20 years old, walking in a tiger's step, meticulous, and a very well-behaved person.
"Get up!"
Qiu Jue stepped out of the carriage, the early spring weather was cold, she tightened the cloak on her body and looked forward.
The official road is full of sentry soldiers on the left and right, so there are still people who dare to come, that is fearless.
"Do you know the identity of those guys?" Qiu Jue asked symbolically, and the result was not surprising, I really didn't know it.
At this moment, the sunset is beginning to bloom, and the sky is like a picture scroll splashed with colored ink, which is very spectacular and gorgeous.
Set off again, because of the delay, they did not rush to the post station to rest, so they camped near the water, guarded heavily, for fear that the queen mother would blame her.
At that time, in the tent, Xiao Taohong was quickly packing up her things, Qiu Jue was taking off her makeup in the mirror, and when she saw her posture, she couldn't wait to move all the things here.
"Little Peach, we're running away and not driving, what are you doing with so many things?"
"Huh? But mother, this is all needed on the road. "Little Pink is tangled, her left hand is full of clothes, and her right hand is full of headdresses.
The ground is a mess packed with a mountain.
"Only take the silver ticket given by grandpa, two sets of clothes I told you to buy, and don't want anything else."
That's right, Qiu Jue is going to run away.
Even if you know that these people are very powerful, you don't want to be a live target here.
This was the countermeasure she had already thought of.
Qiu Chan went to contact the people sent by her grandfather to protect her.
Not long after, Qiu Chan returned, and Qiu Jue was just about to ask her how she was preparing.
saw Qiu Chan move to the side, and a small figure walked in.
A look of displeasure.
The little emperor is here.
Her black jewel-like eyes sparkled, staring at Qiu Jue and asking her extremely aggrieved, "Is the Queen Mother planning to leave me behind and escape alone?" β
Qiu Jue looked at Qiu Chan?
Qiu Chan pursed her lips, with a look of annoyance.
She didn't expect that she was doing things so secretly, how could she be seen by the little emperor.
"Is Hongu such a person?" Now that it was discovered, Qiu Jue told the little emperor about her intentions.
"Does the emperor know, what are we going to Huai'an for this time?"
The little emperor looked defensive, but he still answered honestly, "Observe the people's feelings and subdue the people's hearts." β
"You see that today is only the first day, and someone has come to kill the palace, do you think the palace can reach Huai'an alive?"
As soon as Qiu Jue finished speaking, his sleeves were pulled by the little emperor.
Qiu Jue's height is considered high among women, and the little emperor is only below her shoulders, and when he looks at her, he looks a little nervous.
"General Li will protect the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will be fine."
Qiu Jue pulled him to sit down and analyzed carefully, "Don't worry, the emperor, you heard from this palace that the palace only took a few people away, and it was also to arrive in Huai'an as soon as possible and understand the real disaster." β
Seeing that the emperor had no intention of letting go, he continued: "As soon as the palace leaves, those bad people will know that the palace is not there, and they will not keep an eye on the team, so the emperor will be safer." β
"I am the Son of Heaven, and I am not afraid of them."
