The next day, above the court in the capital.

The civil and military officials stood on both sides, and the queen sat behind the bead curtain, on top of a bench, looking down at the ministers in front of her dignifiedly.

The dragon chair was empty, and these subordinates knew that the emperor had not gone to court.

"Queen Mother, Weichen has a play." An old minister stepped forward tremblingly, bowing with difficulty, he seemed to be very old, but his eyes were still burning with fighting spirit.

The queen sat behind the beaded curtain, smiled and waved her hand, and the little eunuch next to her said sharply, "Lord Chen, please speak." ”

"Queen Mother, the old minister heard that there seemed to be a change in the land of Loulan yesterday, I heard that there seems to be a rebel uprising, I don't know what the emperor has planned......," the old minister said slowly.

The person next to him laughed loudly and said: "Loulan is just an inch away, there are just some changes, and it can't set off any strong winds and waves, so there is no need to alarm the emperor for such a thing." ”

"Then ...... I heard that the superintendent of Loulan has fallen, and I don't know that the emperor can receive a message from my micro-minister this morning...... Wechen stated the possible consequences one by one, and this matter is not trivial. The old minister's speech was very slow, and the queen couldn't help but interrupt:

"Master Chen, you are old and physically exhausted, so don't bother yourself with these trivial mediocrities...... Your excerpts are long and boring, and the emperor will not read them. ”

"Queen Mother!" Lord Chen knelt on the ground and said: "The emperor has been in the court for many days, and the matter of Loulan is related to the stability of the border of the Lan Dynasty, and I also ask the emperor to come out in person, the most unfortunate, and ask the queen to allow the old minister to meet the emperor, no matter what disease the emperor suffers from, I will not be afraid of a handful of old bones......"

"Bold! The emperor is seriously ill, you should put the emperor's safety first, why do you still say such things! If the emperor is worried, it will not help his recovery! Retreat! The queen said sharply, as if she was trying her best to hide something.

The old minister frowned, he knelt on the ground, and no one in the court spoke for him, and he seemed to be able to hear the chatter around him.

"This Lord Chen is too eyeless, what is the current situation, can't he still understand? Meet the emperor and the next life! ”

"yes...... As soon as the child in the queen's belly lands, it will be the new emperor, and everyone knows what to do when the time comes. ”

"Now that the Zhou family is in power, why is he still so uninteresting."

The little eunuch glared at the old minister and said, "If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat!" ”

"Wait...... Queen Mother...... Let's listen to Weichen! ”

The queen smiled at the old minister with disdain, and then left directly.

After the queen left, the little eunuch walked in front of Lord Chen and said with a smile: "Lord Chen, there are some things that you should not mention, what is the current situation in this court, you should have a ...... in your heart."

"An old sour man like you, it's already a blessing for the queen to keep you."

Lord Chen was silent, and the courtiers left the hall one after another...... In Lord Chen's eyes, the raging fire seemed to cool down in an instant......

He walked with a stumbling footstep and left the hall with blank eyes.

On the second day, Loulan, supervised the palace of the superintendent.

Xiao Biao silently looked at the map in front of him, and the circles drawn on it were all the result of the sleepless days of fortune telling.

Listening to the divination heaven's clever statement of the current situation and the deployment they should make.

Xiao Biao was wearing a red robe, her long hair was scattered, her face was a little tired, her eyes were fluttering, and she yawned lazily.

"Your Majesty, we're getting down to business now, you can't be so lazy!" Jinghong frowned, although she had suffered a loss because of this mouth, she was still a little open-mouthed.

Xiao Yang didn't bother to pay attention to her, she supported her head with her hands, and said with a smile: "Fortune calculation, you continue, don't worry about her, I'll listen." ”

Bu Xuantian squinted his eyes, looked at Jing Hong, and explained: "Your Majesty has been tired and tired lately, and it is normal for you to be sleepy, so you don't have to worry too much about Jing Hong. ”

"Your Majesty, are you alright...... the sun leaned over to Xiao Biao's side and said, "Your Majesty has been really tired lately, so you should pay attention to rest." ”

Taiyin also echoed: "Yes, yes, although it is to revitalize Loulan, it can't be so hard~"

Taiyin and Sun's little faces are puffy, they look very cute and healing, and the hot Xiao Biao wants to pinch their faces.

Suddenly, the door of the main hall was pushed open, and it was not someone else, it was Xiao He, Xiao He was dressed in black, wearing light armor, his hair was tied high, and a pitch-black sword was hanging from his waist, quite some of the style of the year, and the fly in the ointment was that his eyes were covered with white silk.

"Brother." Xiao Biao got up, still very respectfully called.

No matter what time it is, her respect for her brother will not change.

Xiao He walked in front of Xiao Biao, frowned, and said, "Biao'er, there was news just now, and it said...... Master Chen committed suicide at home last night...... Mrs. Chen held Lord Chen's tablet and knelt on the street outside the capital all night, and the capital was now in chaos. ”

Xiao Biao was stunned for a moment, and then instructed the people of the Loulan Sixth Palace beside him: "You all go out first, and stay in the fortune calculation day." ”

The lord of the six palaces of Loulan in the main hall bowed to Xiao Biao and retreated.

After the people dispersed, Xiao Biao asked, "Brother, what's going on?" How could Lord Chen suddenly commit suicide, is this news credible? ”

"This news is what Jiang Lihuan said, and there will be no false ...... He was very loyal to the Moon Lotus Sect...... I've tried it myself. Xiao He replied carefully: "As for the cause of Lord Chen's death, I am not very clear now, it is said that when he returned to the house yesterday, Lord Chen has been depressed, and after he was depressed for a day, he hanged himself in his bedroom...... Lord Chen doesn't look like a person who can commit suicide......"

"Mr. Chen is indeed not a person who will commit suicide...... Presumably...... Silence is greater than death. Xiao Biao closed his eyes tightly and said, "Lord Chen is the elder of the Three Dynasties!" What did Zhou Yushu do? Can make him hang himself by hanging himself! ”

Xiao He patted Xiao Biao's shoulder comfortingly, and said, "There is another thing, I heard from rumors, it is said that Mr. Chen left a suicide note, in which he said that he was old and could not assist Ming Jun Kuang to support ......the government, and he felt ashamed in his heart."

Bu Xuantian was on the side, listened carefully, and asked, "Is this old Mr. Chen an acquaintance of His Majesty?" ”

"Yes, he's an old gentleman who used to teach me to read, and he used to ...... Although I often mock him for being sour and rotten, I still respect him very much from the bottom of my heart......"

Respect him for his humble and unpretentious personality, loyal to the monarch and patriotic feelings, assisting two generations of emperors, it is still not enough, and assisting the third generation of emperors in ancient years.

It is better to be broken than to be complete.

Mr. Chen has always been such a person.
