Nian Yun remembered that the Guo family was also involved in this matter, but he didn't know how Guo Lu arranged it, and planned to announce that Guo Yan would come to the palace to ask.

The little eunuch who had passed the word ran out, but it didn't take long for him to run back, with a strange look on his face, as if he was a little ...... Dismayed.

Nian Yun frowned slightly, "What's going on?" ”

The little eunuch opened his mouth wide and took a few breaths hard, like a drowning man struggling in the waves, and after a while, he regained his strength and fell to his knees with a pop...... The Praetorian Guards outside won't let the minions out! ”

The Praetorian Guard won't let him out? What is the meaning? The guards of this Daming Palace have always been in charge of the Shence Army, that is to say, today she ordered Xue Qixi to guard it, and there should be Qixi people outside.

She had a hint of foreboding in her heart, and said in a deep voice: "But Xue Qixi's orders?" What do they say? ”

The little eunuch had also been on errands in Penglai Hall for many years, and he knew a little about the current situation, and he was almost about to cry at this time, "Yes...... It was Grandpa Xue's order, saying that it was...... Those who say that they are not allowed to go out, and those who come back from outside to report the news are only allowed to enter, not to go out......"

Nian Yun's voice became colder and colder, "Is there anything else?" ”

"And ...... Xue Gonggong said, take care of the mother's ......"

Xue Qixi.

Why is that? He has followed him for more than 20 years, why is he suddenly like this...... Is it the other way around? Even when Du Qiu reminded her earlier, she didn't really take it to heart.

Why did the person she trusted the most trusted internal supervisor for so many years, who had always been entrusted with important tasks, suddenly betray her?

"This ......" Li Heng was also shocked, "It's none of my son's business, my son didn't ......"

"Hongu knows!" Nian Yun interrupted him a little impatiently, suddenly turned around, strode back to the main hall, pointed to the Nine Dragons Throne on the top, and his voice was angry and cold, "Sit down." ”

"Huh?" Li Heng didn't react at all for a while, and looked at his mother in amazement.

"This palace told you to sit up, sit down!" Nian Yun's emotions almost collapsed, trembling all over, and he pointed at the throne hysterically, his voice was extremely sharp.

Li Heng walked over to help his mother, and Nianyun's body suddenly seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and slowly slid to the ground.

She crouched on the ground, maintaining a fragile and childish posture, like a baby in her mother's body, buried her face in her knees, and began to cry bitterly. The luxurious dress dragged on the ground, like a blooming peony, and the heavy golden step shook and fell to the ground, like scattered stamens.

Since she returned to Chang'an City, for so many years, she has never felt so powerless as she does today. When her cronies are no longer cronies, when all the people who think they are her have become enemies, she realizes that she has always been just a fragile woman in the deep palace.

She cried for a while, her tears were like the clearest spring water in the Lingtai, washing away the regret and doubts in her heart, washing away the lingering love of the years, and washing away the years of sedimentation.

This Daming Palace, in the end, still has to rely on her weak shoulders to bear the heavy responsibility. Eunuchs seek the country, and there is never a good end.

The mind gradually returned, and the three souls and seven spirits all returned to their places little by little.

When she raised her head, Li Heng was surprised to find that Fang was as fragile as a child's mother, and her eyes once again gathered a bright and calm light, and the noble concubine Niangniang, who had collapsed in front of her without chaos, was back, even more majestic and solemn than before.

She pointed to the Nine Dragons Throne again, "Heng'er, sit down." ”

This time, her tone was much softer, but with an unmistakable meaning. Li Heng hesitated for a moment, involuntarily took a step, walked to the top of the royal platform, and sat down uneasily.

Nian Yun walked over slowly, walked up the stairs, walked to the throne, turned around, and faced the empty hall, but there was a majesty overlooking all living beings, as if the hall was kneeling with subjects at the moment, prostrating and shouting long live.

"From today onwards, this position is yours, and this palace will assist you to sit firmly here. From now on, you can't secretly disobey the palace, otherwise, you and I will die without a place to be buried. ”

Her tone was very calm, as if she was stating a simple fact, as if to say, "The snow is so big today." But to Li Heng's ears, every sentence was shocking.

"But Your Majesty ......"

Nian Yun's cold eyes shot like sharp arrows, Li Heng shivered involuntarily, and hurriedly silenced.

"But do you want to say it again? From now on, you are His Majesty the Tang Dynasty. ”

In Li Chunbu's bureau, the Shence Army and the military department under the command of Qixi are the last and most important link. But since Qixi dares to rebel, I'm afraid the military department already has a way to deal with it. His deep penetration into the tiger's den may have become a lure of wolves at this moment.

In this case, it is not only Li Chun who is affected, but the world of Datang. If one is not careful, I am afraid that even the Tang Dynasty will be overturned. Li Heng's small methods are no longer worth mentioning, but behind them will lead to a large number of jackals, tigers and leopards who are ready to move.

She is Li Chun's wife, the concubine of the Tang Dynasty, and the granddaughter of Ziyigong. Even if Li Chun still has the opportunity to say another word with her at this moment, just one sentence, what he said must be asking her to protect the Jiangshan Sheji of the Tang Dynasty.

Jiangshan is the most important thing in his heart, far better than her, she always knows.

Therefore, at this time, she has no time to take care of him, and the top priority is to protect this Daming Palace and the Tang Dynasty no matter what.

"Heng'er, you tell the truth to this palace, who is the person who instigated you behind the scenes? Also, when this palace ordered Qixi to go to the East Palace to see you, what did Qixi tell you? ”

Li Heng didn't dare to hide it anymore, and told Nian Yun about the words he had said to King Li in Pingkangli, to Qixi, and their arrangements.

The first group in the cave was sent by Li Heng at this moment, and the one who was guarding the trap and would take Li Chun to Chenjiazhuang was Li Yun's people.

Li Heng of Chenjiazhuang also arranged some manpower, but for some reason, they didn't send back the news.

Nian Yun was silent for a moment and sneered, "Your people? Presumably he was killed by King Li a long time ago, do you think King Li is helping you with such a big effort, he is just borrowing your hand to usurp the throne! ”

"But the second brother said that after the matter is completed, he only wants a fiefdom......"

"Fiefdom!" Nian Yun snorted coldly, "The fief he wants is probably the entire Tang Dynasty, right?" ”

Li Heng was silent, his arguments were too weak, and he had vaguely realized that he had completely fallen into Li Yun's trap. Li Yun didn't pull out a knife to help at all, he just wanted to use a knife to kill people and wait for an opportunity to make a comeback.

From the time he conspired with the Liu family to kill himself and his eldest brother, shouldn't he be careful about him? How can you be so naïve as to think that they are brothers of flesh and blood! If he really thought of any brotherly affection, he would not have murdered his eldest brother in the first place!

He is completely remorseful at the moment, but remorse has nothing to uncome.

Li Heng was a little frightened, and looked at Nian Yun with a look of help, "Mother, what should we do now?" ”

What to do? Nianyun's cool eyes looked at the outside of the main hall, this Zichen Hall had been guarded by the Shence Legion, what else could she do?

At this time, Fennel, who had been guarding the door, came over and lowered her head, "Niangniang, it's already here...... It's time for dinner......"

Nianyun stepped off the royal platform, "Now, let's set the meal." ”

There is no small kitchen in this Zichen Palace, and in such a situation, what to eat, naturally you can only tell the forbidden army guarding outside, and then they go to the Shangshi Bureau to buy it.

Fennel thought for a moment and asked, "What do you want to eat today?" ”

Nian Yun glanced at her thoughtfully, "The dishes are casual, make more dim sum, it's cold this day, Bengong wants to eat some dim sum to warm up in winter." And also...... Tell the Shang Food Bureau, Heng'er is also eating here. ”

Qixi is the body of the inner prison, if he seeks power and usurps the throne, he should not establish himself as the emperor. It is more likely that he will choose to cooperate with Li Yun and make King Li emperor.

And her identity at the moment is the head of Daming Palace, and she has always treated him well. To a certain extent, even if they succeed in the end, she still needs to stand up and give an explanation to all the people in the world.

Then they should not touch her for the time being, and even protect her well.

She just wants to bet on this game, bet that Qixi will remember her love for many years, and she can also have a little indulgence with her.

Several of the cooks in the Shang Shi Bureau are all old people in the palace and know the tastes of the masters. The forbidden army outside would definitely not know that one of Prince Li Heng's favorite snacks was preserved fruit chestnut cake with raisins and dried lychees. And the concubine has always been because lychees are a hot thing, and he is usually not allowed to eat more, and only in winter does he ask the Shangshi Bureau to cook a few times and send it to him.

When the Shang Food Bureau prepared the dishes and handed them to the guards of the forbidden army, they were also carefully inspected, and specially ordered someone to try the dishes, naturally there was nothing unusual, because this was originally an ordinary diet.

When dinner was set up in Zichen Palace, Li Heng actually couldn't eat at all. Nian Yun walked straight to the edge of the long table where the meal was placed, looked at the hearty diet, sighed slightly, picked up the plate of preserved fruit and chestnut cake, and walked to Li Heng's side: "Eat, when you are full, you have the strength to think about what you should think." ”

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of pastry from the plate, took a small bite, and ate it slowly.

Li Heng was a little surprised to see that it was his favorite preserved fruit chestnut cake, he remembered that his mother didn't eat lychees. When he was a child, his father traveled thousands of miles from Lingnan to bring some fresh lychees, but his mother did not want to brush off his kindness, and said that he couldn't eat it, so he always secretly took it and distributed it to the palace maids and eunuchs.

Later, he quietly asked Qixi and Fennel about them, only to learn that his mother couldn't eat lychees, saying that she was allergic and would get sick if she ate them.

But mother, this is ......

He was about to go up and snatch the snack from his mother's hand, Nian Yun had already put the snack in his hand into his mouth and swallowed it quickly, so he quietly signaled him not to say more.
