Chen Tongsheng walked very quietly.

Because of Chen Tongsheng's behavior in the side hall of the Baoyue Hall on the day of the banquet, and the shocking consequences that everyone saw by this behavior. Led by the right prime minister, they seized this hard-won opportunity, took the opportunity to demand a thorough investigation of the personnel exchanges in the palace, arrested dozens of people before and after, pulled out a considerable part of the left Cheng faction, or inserted the eyeliner, and used the topic to give full play to the trouble of flying light in the big book, forcing Wu Hanchi and others to gasp.

As for the round-faced palace maid, Chen Tongsheng knew that she didn't eat Feiguang, but the fact that she would become like that also had an inextricable relationship with Feiguang, Youcheng and the others were just using everything available to suppress the opponent, and that round-faced palace maid was a perfect excuse. Galashia is well aware of these rules in the court, otherwise he would not have buttoned his hat to Feiguang with red mouth and white teeth at that time.

Since the scourge of flying light is real, coupled with the clever words of the person who has the intention to protect him, Chen Tongsheng's behavior immediately became a heart-saving thing, not to mention meritorious, at least it can't be overdone. So she was so useless, fell ill in prison, and was released.

Chen Tongsheng was a little emotional on the day he was released from prison, and suddenly remembered Chen Die, who had also been in prison for a long time, she could be said to be pretending to be crazy and stupid, and she cooperated with Zou Shiyun to the end, brought the Shen father and son to justice, and repaid her father's kindness.

People's hearts are always complex and changeable, even if it is a person like Chen Die, who seems to have no city, it is not a few thin words that can be summed up in one sentence.

She frowned suddenly, thinking of the night when Chen Die was imprisoned, Jiang Liyan had appeared in prison. If Chen Die, Zou Shiyun, and Lin Xiarong were in the same group from the beginning, then Zou Shiyun is very likely to know about Jiang Liyan's existence.

Why did Zou Shiyun and others have been lurking for so many years, and now they suddenly dare to bet on the empress's mind?

...... Because of Jiang Liyan.

Because Jiang Liyan just needed an upright identity to appear by Zhou Guanzhao's side, and the Shen father and son were cruelly given up by Zhou Guanzhao because they had too many loopholes in doing things.

She only thought it was a coincidence, but now that she thinks about it, it should be a collaboration.

Jiang Liyan thus appeared beside the empress with that face that was exactly the same as Shen Ping.

What is he for?

Ten years ago, Jiang Liyan appeared in the rebel king's mansion and did things for him, what was he for?

A real remnant of the Northern Dynasty like him, who knows a lot about Galahia, who is immortal and has a strange body, is there anything else that needs to be painstakingly obtained?

It was close to noon, Chen Tongsheng stood at the gate of the city and looked in the direction of the Hou Mansion, but only waited for Fan Rui, who was in a hurry.

He got off the horse sweating profusely, ran to Chen Tongsheng, and gasped: "Master Hou, Master Hou can't come today." ”

"Why?"

"The military situation in the northwest has changed, and Lord Hou was urgently summoned into the palace by His Majesty!" Fan Rui wiped his sweat, his expression was a little strange, and said, "Girl, do you still remember the dragon roaring in the palace that day?" Do you still remember the words of the former queen of the dynasty? ”

Chen Tongsheng reacted for a moment, only to hear Fan Rui lower his voice and continued: "The news that the guerrilla general Fang Ming left his post and entered Licheng without permission was somehow known by some people in the court, and it is rumored that this dragon roar is the corresponding Fang Ming'......"

She felt a little nonsense: "What is this, it's time." ”

"Originally, no one cared about this matter, and it couldn't be Your Majesty's concern."

But Zhou Guanzhao just cared.

The sound of the dragon's roar doesn't matter, that dragon has been killed by Galahia for thousands of years, even if it can survive, it is just a dry skeleton, and Zhou Guanzhao cares about another thing.

Song Chuanbai had a private meeting with Fang Ming in Licheng under the pretext of finding out the mystery of the crown prince's death.

Isn't this just poking into Zhou Guanzhao's heart!

Fan Rui said: "What Master Hou means is that I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of the girl in time in the future, and if I send a letter, I may not be able to reply in time, I just hope that the girl will take care of herself and be safe and sound." ”

It means that from now on, Zhou Guanzhao's monitoring of him will only become more and more strict, and letters will pass through his hands, and don't say anything that shouldn't be said in the letter.

"You can also help me and send a message back to Master Hou." Chen Tongsheng's eyes were heavy: "Be careful of Shen Ping, who came back from the dead, he is a remnant of the Northern Dynasty." ”

The long street is bustling, and people come and go. Chen Tongsheng led the horse away, startling two or three birds in the trees outside the city, crying and flying.

These few cries should also be a send-off for her.

——————

In the palace. Side hall. Idlers are not allowed to enter, and the people in the hall are all low-eyed and pleasing to the eyes, walking briskly, it can be seen that the number of people in the activity is only about ten people, and it seems that this remote and inconspicuous small place is particularly desolate.

The old building and the old high platform were originally a place that was about to be abandoned, and the green plants in the yard grew quite luxuriantly, but they grew old, and the leaves were covered with a layer of gray of human ruined breath. The flowers that have just bloomed are delicate, and they are also gray and delicate, so when the palace people walked on the path that was blocked by the branches stretched out in the air, they never put their noses up to smell and put their eyes together to appreciate them carefully, but they just twisted their waists, turned their bodies to one side, and went around, for fear of being stained with dust, and also stained with lingering bad luck, which people perceived.

Although they knew that this life was the same as the greenery in this temple, and even more silent and gray, they could not empathize with the dead, and when someone walked by the house where the whining and crying sounded and looked inside, a companion immediately came and touched his elbow, signaling not to seek death.

At first, there was a banging on the door in the room, but gradually all that remained was crying. No one in the palace dared to cry loudly, and they just suppressed it, sobbing and crying.

Someone was sent in to deliver food, and the lunch box was in his hand, and the palace man opened the box and looked at it, and said suspiciously: "Didn't you say that all the palace people in the cold palace are locked up here?" Why is there only one person for this meal? ”

"Didn't you hear the voice of one person the whole time?"

The other party opened the door with one hand and shoved him in with the other.

I saw a young girl dressed as a palace man kneeling on the ground, shaking the body of her companion next to her with a crying voice, but although her companion had her eyes open, her eyes were dull and motionless, as if she was dead. The body is soft, but the expression is stiff.

It's just ...... The Living Dead.

There are more than a dozen palace people in such a state beside the woman, and they are placed on the ground crookedly, there are men and women, and she takes a look, most of them are palace people who have been on duty in the former residence of the former queen of the dynasty.

However, but, Empress Fang has been dead for decades, and the old residence has been idle for decades, they are just working in that place, how could they become like this?!

The only palace maid who was still conscious trembled and looked around in horror: "Let me out, I didn't do anything, we didn't do anything......"

The person who delivered the meal put the lunch box on the table, and he couldn't bear it, and said in a low voice: "Eat quickly, it's useless to cry." ”

The maid looked at him with tears in her eyes, and with despair in her eyes as if she had foreseen a tragic future, she asked sluggishly, "What is wrong with us?" How did they become like this? Why are we being locked up here? ”

If it is said that these palace people have made mistakes and done something wrong, there is a place and a steward to punish them, and they will not be unclear and suddenly locked up here, as if they don't care whether they live or die.

"If you want to blame you, you are unlucky...... "The person who delivered the meal whispered ambiguously, "I happened to be on duty, and I happened to be on duty at that time." ”

As he spoke, a purple smoke slowly wafted from nowhere, spreading in the room, and when the food delivery person realized it, the smell had already filled the room, and he took a few steps back, panicked, and planned to go out. At this time, the door of the room was suddenly opened, and I saw a person standing against the light, and asked in a clear voice: "This is all the palace people on duty inside when Long Ming was singing?" ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, he walked in slowly, and did not look at the person who delivered the meal, but only squatted down in front of the palace maid who was crying with tears on her face, and asked with a pleasant face under her panicked and desperate gaze: "What happened in the palace where you were when the dragon roared?" ”

"I, I don't know!" When the palace maid thought of this, her eyes suddenly widened, and she said quickly: "After the first dragon roar, some of them suddenly began to go crazy, running around in the palace, and some people wanted to run out, but were stopped. Originally, it was just some, but then there were more and more crazy people, and the whole palace was full of people talking nonsense......"

"And then?"

"And then, and then they went crazy for a while, and they fell straight down, and they became like this!" The palace maid cried: "Believe me, you believe me, my lord, we really didn't do anything, I don't know why we became like this!" ”

Jiang Liyan pinched her chin and looked left and right, and asked, "Then they are crazy, why aren't you crazy?" ”

"I don't know, I really don't know ......"

"How did you feel when the dragon roared?"

The palace maid recalled, and said with tears in her eyes: "I just think it's shocking and novel, where did you think that this would happen later?" ”

The person who sent the rice palace stood stunned for a while, and finally walked out, but Jiang Liyan raised his hand and stopped him: "You can hear the dragon roaring today." ”

The man who sent the rice palace swallowed his saliva and replied, "I heard it." ”

"What does it feel like?"

He recalled for a moment and said, "Heart palpitations ......"

"What else?"

"I felt a slight dizziness and tightness in my chest, and I felt like the sound was going to drill a hole in my head."

Jiang Liyan nodded, and made a move behind him: "Leave her behind, and the others can carry her out." He glanced at the man who delivered the meal again: "Has it only been a long time?" Something that has no eyes, next time you stand stupidly next to you and ask for your head, go! ”

In the panicked cry of the palace maid, Jiang Liyan slowly wiped his fingers with a handkerchief, and instructed the person who had just walked to his side: "Check the ancestral home of this palace maid and see where it came from." ”

"Do you suspect that she has the blood of the Northern Dynasty?"

Zhou Guanzhao walked in the door, raised his hand to stop the palace people from saluting, stared at Jiang Liyan and said, "People with the blood of the Northern Dynasty have no reaction to the sound of the dragon's roar?" ”

"Not the dragon's roar, to be exact, Your Majesty," Jiang Li said, "it's something that resides in the keel, sensing the ...... from Galahia Howl of rage. ”

"But it doesn't matter, it's asleep now. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to be here. Jiang Liyan said with his hand a little outside the door, facing the back of the person who had just sent the rice palace to leave in a panic: "This person's head is still clean?" ”

Someone next to him immediately bowed his head and said, "No, no, it's washed, he was originally a blind look." He glanced at Jiang Liyan's expression, and asked very observantly: "If the adults are not satisfied, will they wash it again?" ”

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Liyan looked at the people who came and went around him, lowered his eyes and lowered his head, acting neatly and properly, but his eyes were silent and almost lifeless, and he shook his head: "No, let him just keep it." As long as he is loyal......" He paused here, glanced at Zhou Guanzhao with a smile, and then continued: "As long as he doesn't say what he shouldn't say, just do what he shouldn't do." I don't want to look at these dead eyes all day long. ”

Zhou Guanzhao scoffed and replied: "Isn't this all thanks to you?" ”

Jiang Liyan replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, if I don't do this, who do you dare to use?" Who dares to let know what you are doing now? Feiguang is really pitiful, some people want to use it, and they have to scold it, but no matter how righteous they are, it is just to make up for the irreparable bitter fruits brought to themselves by the temporary shaking of the year. ”

In the face of this irony that the parties involved are well aware of, which can be called naming names, Zhou Guanzhao also replied with a cold smile: "A mistake gave me the world." It's a lot of money. ”

The two of them smiled at each other tacitly, and walked out of the side hall, and there was a palace person in front of them to report, and the big eunuch replied that Yang and Hou had already entered the palace and waited for His Majesty in the imperial study.

Jiang Liyan let out an "oops", and suddenly said: "Patronizing the dragon roar, I didn't go to send Gala." ”

"You mean Chen Tongsheng?"

"Ah, Kiryu, yes, Kiryu." Jiang Liyan repeated the name, revealing a look of "I remember", and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, whether you can completely get rid of your own bitter fruit, or be completely devoured by your own bitter fruit, depends on this Chen Tongsheng." ”

"If she dies before she becomes Gala, you must not live."
