Chapter 19: General Chen's Choice

The county lord went directly to the palace after leaving the Xingchen Garden, it stands to reason that today is the day when she goes to visit Her Majesty the Empress, Her Majesty is very resourceful, rarely out of the palace, but she likes folk snacks the most, so the county lord passed by Yipinlou and bought a few boxes of pastries for Her Majesty the Empress to try.

The carriage of the county king's mansion soon came to the palace gate, according to the regulations, the carriage is not allowed to enter the palace, and the civil and military officials must get off the car and walk when they enter the palace, but the county lord is a special case, since the county lord moved out of the palace, Her Majesty the Empress gave her the privilege of riding into the palace.

But she did not enter the palace by car today, on the contrary, she got out of the carriage in front of the palace gate like a civil and military official, and walked towards Her Majesty's bedroom with pastries.

"Auntie, Xuan'er has come to see you."

The county lord shouted towards the imposing dormitory, but there was no one to see for a long time.

It's strange, usually as long as she shouts "Auntie", someone will come out to greet her, but what's going on today?

The county lord thought that the empress should be in the imperial study at this moment to deal with government affairs, so she walked in the direction of the imperial study.

She came to the queen's study, and was about to knock on the door, when a palace maid next to her hurriedly came over and saluted her:

"The county lord is fine, please wait a while, and the slave maid will go in and inform Her Majesty the Empress."

After the palace maid finished speaking, she went in to report.

After a while, the palace maid came out and said, "Her Majesty said that she is busy with official business today, please come back another day."

What the? Come back another day?

The county lord didn't believe that the empress's aunt would say such a thing, so he asked again, "Is that what the empress's aunt really said?"

"Yes, County Lord."

The palace maid looked more respectful, for fear that the county lord would be angry and hurt herself at this moment.

People's premonitions are often very accurate in times of crisis. Next, the county lord took the palace maid and threw her aside, and walked directly to the imperial study.

The palace maid who had been left aside saw that the county lord was about to arrive at the door of the imperial study, so she hurriedly got up from the ground, quickly ran to the county lord's side, and stopped her from approaching the door of the imperial study.

The county lord impatiently pushed her away again, walked to the door of the imperial study, and was about to shout "Aunt Empress", and before the word "aunt" could be spoken, she heard a man's muffled snort from the imperial study, she clenched her fists, put down the hand that was about to knock on the door, turned around, and left.

The palace maid seemed to realize what the county lord had discovered, and hurriedly shouted "county lord", but the county lord walked away, and left the osmanthus cake that the county lord brought to Her Majesty the Empress from Yipinlou on the way.

After a while, Her Majesty came out of the Imperial Study, for she had heard the movement outside and wanted to come out to see what was going on.

The empress looked at the palace maid crying with an aggrieved face, and wondered, "What happened?"

The palace maid wiped away her tears and reported to the empress: "Your Majesty, the county lord has just come."

Her Majesty the Empress heard this, what, Xuan'er is here? The Empress finally remembered that today was the day she went to the palace to see her.

The Empress rubbed her forehead, alas, what was wrong with her, she had often felt exhausted and exhausted lately.

"Your Majesty, this is ...... This was brought by the county lord. ”

The palace maid trembled and handed the pastry in a delicate box to Her Majesty.

"Take it back to the dormitory."

Her Majesty looked at the box of pastries, remembered the scene when the county lord pestered her every day when she was a child and asked her for pastries, and remembered the stubborn appearance of the county lord who would not give up if he didn't get anything.

The maid took the pastries and went to the dormitory.

At this moment, a man walked out of the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, the slave family shouldn't have come to disturb Your Majesty just now, it's all the slave family's fault."

The man pretended to be weak and said delicately.

The Empress sighed.

"I don't blame you, you go back first. I want to be alone. ”

"Yes. The slave family retired. ”

Before leaving, no one noticed the evil smile on the corner of the man's mouth.

……

After the county lord came out of the palace, he ran directly to General Chen's mansion.

The county lord knew that General Chen was in solitary confinement and it was inconvenient to come out and move around, so she came.

"Quickly report to your general, saying that the county lord is here."

"The general of my family said that the county lord does not need to be notified when he arrives, and he can just enter the mansion directly."

The two guards guarding the door said respectfully and opened the door.

The county lord walked into General Chen's mansion and said in his heart: General Chen, it seems that your matter is very serious.

Once again, the county lord was invited to the main hall by General Chen, and she clearly remembered that this was the second time she had stepped into General Chen's mansion.

"The county lord, the lower officials have something to ask for, and please ask the county lord to help."

"General Chen, General Ben has already heard about you, but, as far as this county lord knows, you have no motive to investigate the Zheng Mansion."

When General Chen heard the county lord say this, he couldn't help but be frank to the county lord: "The lower official was framed."

The county lord looked at General Chen's anxious and annoyed appearance, picked up a cup of tea next to him and sipped it slowly, deliberately to see how General Chen would react next.

You know, she won't help people for no reason.

"So what?"

The county lord pretended to be light and authentic.

"County Lord, please also help the lower officials tide over the difficulties."

"Why should I help you?"

The county lord asked rhetorically, why did Chen Ziwei betray her so much, why did she still help his family, and what did it matter to her whether she was dead or alive.

General Chen was blocked by the county lord's words.

Yes, why did the county lord help her, the county lord married his own son, and Her Majesty the Empress promised her descendants to shelter her, and the two did not owe each other, and he had no excuse to ask the county lord to help him do anything.

After being silent for a long time, the county lord finally spoke: "If you want me to help you, you can do it, on the condition that you stand on the side of the county king's mansion, and the county lord guarantees that no one can touch you." General Chen, how? ”

General Chen angrily pointed at the county lord and said, "You ......"

General Ben is wrong about you.

At present, the DPRK and China are divided into two camps, one is the camp headed by Li Shangshu, and the other is the camp headed by Lord Gao, and General Chen does not belong to any camp, she only knows that she is dedicated to the country, loyal to her, and guards her duty as a courtier.

However, what General Chen didn't know was that on the surface, the county lord who didn't ask about the government and the dignified Hades King was actually far less powerful than Li Shangshu.

However, General Chen thought that the county lord was like this at the moment, and he didn't like to help others for no reason without getting any benefits.

In the eyes of the world, the county lord is a bully on the street, an existence that cannot be offended, and never makes a loss-making business.

General Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I promise you."

Anyway, as long as he General Chen is not mixed in the two camps of the court, it doesn't matter if she is General Chen.

"Happy."

The county lord put down the teacup, stood up, and said:

"The lord of this county promises you that after three days, you will be free again."

General Chen looked at the awe-inspiring appearance of the county lord, and suddenly felt that the county lord was by no means as simple as she imagined.
