Chapter 144: Re-entering the cage
Liu Ruohua counted with his fingers, and said after a while: "There are few, and my brother is not familiar with them, he has never even met in person, he is unreliable, unreliable." Besides, my brother has been serving in the palace since then, how can he have time to make friends with courtiers, and he looks at the palace concubine but... ”
Liu Shouye gasped, his brain buzzed, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
Liu Ruohua felt that he had guessed the right direction, and continued: "Dad, fortunately, my brother can't hold a post now, and the contact with the palace will be cut off in the future, and after a long time, the affection will naturally fade, so we don't have to worry." ”
Liu Shouye took a deep breath and nodded: "That's right, that's right, God bless!" ”
Two days later, Liu Jianzhang and Liu Ruohua set off to return to Beijing. In order to take care of Liu Jianzhang, he walked slowly all the way and arrived at the foot of the capital at the end of the year.
On this day, it was dark, and it was too late to enter the city, so the group stayed at the post house and officially entered Beijing on the second day.
Liu Ruohua said: "Brother, let's split up tomorrow, you go home directly, I'll go back to the palace and talk to Sister Rui Yao first, and then, I'll ask for a will, stay at home and take care of you." ”
Liu Jianzhang's heart was warm, and he couldn't bear his sister's hard work, so he persuaded: "Come out for so many days, rest in the palace, I'm just incapacitated, and I'm not bedridden, so I don't have to work hard." After a pause, he raised his hand to stroke the girl's face, and said, "Look at you, your face is full of wind and frost, where is the appearance of a princess." ”
Liu Ruohua pouted and said: "Don't talk nonsense, before Daddy comes back, I have the final say at home, I will tell you the arrangement, just let you listen, not let you point fingers, come on, sleep honestly!" "Cover the quilt for my brother and press the corners of the quilt. Liu Ruohua knew that Liu Jianzhang's legs must not be frozen, and then, carefully checked the doors and windows, charcoal, and after walking out of the door, he pulled the steward of the post house to explain that he was careful of the charcoal fire and replaced it in time, and then returned to his room.
The moment you step into the capital, you are tantamount to putting yourself in a cage again.
Thinking of this, Liu Ruohua couldn't sleep, lying on the bed, facing the dark roof, and in a trance, the sky was bright.
Liu Ruohua was secretly carrying out the mission, so he couldn't be like other generals who were triumphant, and quietly entered the palace without arousing anyone's suspicion.
In fact, Liu Ruohua's escort of grain and grass and leading the troops to the customs were exposed on the third day after she left, and there was an uproar in the court. The ministers were furious. On that day, Wu Yunzhao couldn't hold back at all, rushed out of the curtain, confronted the ministers, fought with words, showed the majesty of the queen in a bright and bright way, and suppressed it with a tough attitude.
Liu Ruohua is an opportunity. The arrangement of Liu Ruohua as a general represents that Wu Yunzhao has truly moved towards the center of power. This event is a milestone.
After meeting His Majesty, Liu Ruohua and Wu Yunzhao sisters talked, greeted each other, and cared about each other.
Wu Yunzhao prepared the will to leave the palace, handed it to Liu Ruohua, and said: "Don't be tired, stay at home for more time, the palace is boring, when you want to come back, remember to show up when the palace banquet, on Chinese New Year's Eve, the Queen Mother will also come back to see, but after the fifth day of the first month, the Queen Mother will return to Xiangguo Temple, if you are willing, wait for Old General Liu to come back from the battle, after celebrating, it is not too late to return to the palace." With my sister here, no one dares to gossip. ”
Liu Ruohua smiled: "Sister Rui Yao, thank you." Thanks to you, I was able to spend two more days outside. I'm used to being wild, and I can't take it for a while. He flicked his wide and complicated sleeves and said, "I don't even feel comfortable wearing clothes, it's heavy." Especially these bells and whistles on the head, the neck hurts! ”
In order to surprise Liu Ruohua, Wu Yunzhao did not disclose her proposal with Xiong Yan for the time being, held Liu Ruohua's hand, and said: "Originally, General Liu contributed to the country and was seriously injured, Your Majesty and I had better see it in person to make sense." However, His Majesty's health has not been very good, and in recent days, it is the end of the year, and there are many things in the palace, large and small, and I am really busy. ”
Liu Ruohua said: "Sister Rui Yao, okay, what are you talking about, there is no need to explain between you and me." ”
Wu Yunzhao smiled: "Okay, then I won't be verbose." Let's go, my sister will send you to the palace gate. ”
The two of them held hands, and only then did they walk out less than ten zhang away from the Lizheng Palace, and saw Han Qing rushing over in a panic, and before he could salute, he knelt in front of Wu Yunzhao with a "poof".
Wu Yunzhao and Liu Ruohua were both taken aback and looked at each other.
Wu Yunzhao said: "Guard Han, what's the matter, get up and talk back." Motioning to Xiaoshun to help the person up, listening to the movement just now, Han Qing's knees were swollen even if they were not broken.
Han Qing waved his hand and begged: "Weichen has something to ask for, and I ask Niangniang for permission." ”
Liu Ruohua said softly: "Sister Rui Yao, looking at the appearance of the Han guards, the matter is not small, I am not in a hurry to go back, let's go to the palace, there are many people outside, and it is easy to be looked at." She learned from Wu Yunzhao that although Lu Jin was restrained, his thief heart was not dead. Han Qing is already considered his own person, so he can't fall behind.
