158 Private soldiers

handed over the post of entering the palace to ask for a meeting, Ruotang waited anxiously for a day, and finally waited for a reply from the palace, so he counted the things that had been prepared one by one one again, and couldn't sleep all night.

She had something on her mind, and she was inevitably a little panicked. Chu Qianlan had to hold her all the time to prevent her from turning over and rolling over.

"If you are really afraid, it is better for this king to think again."

This sentence greatly comforted Ruotang, and she took a deep breath, "It's not that I'm afraid, but I just feel ...... I haven't done anything big for a long time, and suddenly I have to do a big job, and I feel nervous and excited, you know? ”

Chu Qianlan's eyebrows jumped, and after a long time, she was not afraid. Are you still looking forward to it?

"You're really not afraid?" Chu Qianlan confirmed to her, "In front of this king, you don't have to be reckless. ”

No matter how bold a woman is. If you want to make a small move under the eyes of the Queen Mother and be discovered without paying attention to it, it is not a trivial matter, she should be afraid.

Ruotang turned around and hugged his waist hard: "You don't blame me for coming nonsense without consulting you, I'm already very happy." Besides, if you really want to find a way, what can you come up with? The harem is not a place where you can set foot in, except for asking for peace, you can't stay in the queen mother's palace for long, even if there are people in the palace, but you must be able to quietly approach the princess of Jin. How easy is it to say? ”

And time is pressing, and they can't afford to change the second set of rescue plans.

"You've been so busy for the past two days that your feet haven't touched the ground, but are you investigating the rebellion of King Jin?" Ruotang's hand unconsciously caressed his tight and sturdy waist, and he looked up and asked.

Chu Qianlan was almost unable to concentrate when she was teased, and while hugging her tightly, she kissed her lips hard, and said vaguely against Ruotang's mouth: "Hmm." He has raised a lot of private soldiers, but I haven't heard of any news of people entering Beijing recently, so I paid attention to it, but I didn't expect it to ......."

"Huh?" When his lips came to her neck, Ruotang shrank back in fear, and reached out to push his face away, "Speak well!" ”

Chu Qianlan snorted in disappointment, and her ghostly eyes were like a hungry wolf, staring at Ruotang. "Do you know where our good second brother raised his private soldiers?"

"How do I know...... Could it be that his private soldiers were kept in the capital? Ruotang gasped.

If the King of Jin is raising private soldiers in various places outside the capital, then he absolutely needs these troops to rebel, as long as he transfers troops into Beijing, whether it is the whole team going to Beijing together or the team is divided into pieces, this is always a very large team that attracts attention. However, Chu Qianlan said that there was no news that the people of Dalu had entered Beijing, which means that King Jin's private soldiers were either in the capital or not far from the capital.

However, it is by no means a simple matter to raise an army that is strong enough to support his rebellion, and has not been noticed. King Jin, how did he do it? suddenly remembered the purpose of King Jin marrying Shen Ruolan, Ruotang suddenly realized that this guy coveted Zhou's dowry in order to support his private soldiers!

"There are also in Beijing, and there are also in the suburbs of Beijing." Chu Qianlan smiled, "This is the first time that this king thinks he is smart, presumably he already knows about the alliance between this king and King Kang, and even more knows what will happen on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, when the crown prince and King Duan lose power, he will jump out again and control the emperor and the hundred officials of the civil and military forces, which can be regarded as a surprise." If the news hadn't been released, maybe he would have really been able to get his hands on it. ”

"What kind of grudge does Baili Wenhan have with him, he sold him like this." Ruotang was embarrassed.

Speaking of which, Baili Wenhan and King Jin are still in-laws, what is Baili Wenhan doing this for?

"It's just to muddy the muddy waters of Da Chu even more." Chu Qianlan said lightly, "There is a civil strife in Great Chu, the people in the court are panicking, the emperor has no intention of state affairs, and the ministers have no intention of political affairs. And Baili Wenhan naturally became a great hero, and when he returned to Liuguo, his benefits were indispensable. ”

Ruotang sighed, "Sure enough, those who achieve great things are not informal." ”

She mourned for three seconds in her heart for the doomed King of Jin.

Suddenly remembered again, "You haven't told me yet, where did King Jin raise his soldiers?" "Hongtu private skills.

Chu Qianlan also stopped selling Guanzi, "In the temple." ”

"Huh?" Ruotang was dumbfounded, he didn't expect it to be this answer. "He, how did he do it?"

Emperor Taizu firmly believed in Buddhism, since then, the temples of Dachu have become more and more numerous, and there are no less than ten large temples in the capital, not to mention the prosperity of temple incense outside the suburbs of Beijing, which naturally breeds many monks. King Jin privately colluded with the presiding officer of the temple and shaved his soldiers and stuffed them into the temple, who could see that something was wrong? The temple can't be stuffed, and there are many mountains and mountains outside the capital, which are good places for Tibetans, not only for Tibetans, but also for drills. Do you think our second brother is smart or not? Chu Qianlan simply explained the way the King of Jin hid his soldiers, "I'm afraid that what colludes with the King of Jin is not just the temple, but also the five city soldiers and horses who are responsible for the security inside and outside the capital, most of them are his people, so they can't see anything unusual." ”

"Temple, barren mountain." Ruotang suddenly realized, and he really had to praise King Jin's wit in his heart, "It's a shame that he can figure it out - since you already know his family background, then you can end his family background first and cut off his way to rebel?" ”

In this way, he has no troops to rebel, can it be stopped, and Princess Jin will not be in danger, of course she doesn't have to risk being killed to save Princess Jin!

Looking at Ruotang's glittering little eyes, Chu Qianlan smiled, "There is a saying that a hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, King Jin has paid too much on the road to winning the heir, even if he ends his family now, he will not be willing to give up." And he teamed up with Baili Wenhan several times to put me to death, which I can't tolerate. This time, he had to fail completely. ”

It means that he and King Kang have decided to make a plan?

"It seems that the night of Chinese New Year's Eve was really a thrilling night." Ruotang took a deep breath, "No matter what decision you make, I support you, but you must pay attention to safety." ”

"Speaking of Chinese New Year's Eve, Xie Zhen is right, you don't want to enter the palace that night, I will think about it for you." Chu Qianlan patted her and motioned her not to worry about him.

"Hmm." Ruotang nodded, she stayed in the back of safety, and he could do what he had to do with peace of mind.

……

Early the next morning, Ruotang simply had breakfast and checked his clothes before boarding the carriage to the palace under Chu Qianlan's eyes.

came to the Queen Mother's Yongshou Palace very smoothly, and Ruotang calmly helped the palace maid's men to step down.

originally thought that he would get more and more nervous, but the closer he got to the goal, the more gentle and steady Ruotang's heartbeat became. With this fearless energy, even she couldn't help but cheer for herself in her heart, she was really a person who was born to do great things!

It was still Mama Zhao who came out to greet her in person, and when Ruotang saw it, she inevitably asked about the recent situation of Princess Jin.

Mama Zhao smiled and couldn't see her teeth, "Recently, the old lady of the Queen Mother has been a lot cleaner here, and the girl can be well raised, and her spirit is much better, and she can walk a few steps on the ground in the past two days." ”

"You can't go too much." Ruotang hurriedly said: "Doctor Lu said that you have to recuperate well, but you should still listen to the doctor." ”

"Dr. Lu's medical skills are excellent, so we naturally believe it." Since Lu Zhengqing saved the lives of Princess Jin's mother and son, in Mama Zhao's heart, that is the existence of a life-saving benefactor, listening to Ruotang's words, she hurriedly said, "It's just that the girl has been lying on the bed for too long, shouting every day to go to the ground, we really have no way, I consulted the doctor, and the doctor said that she could take two steps, so she dared to let the girl go to the ground." Rest assured, you've only taken two steps into the house. ”

"That's good." Ruotang put his mind at ease, "She is always lying on the bed, naturally she is bored, but you can't let her go too far." ”

"It's nature." Mama Zhao smiled and said, "You are here today, and the girl has something to tell you that she is happy about." ”

"Happy?"

Mama Zhao sold the guanzi, "The girl told the old slave not to say it, when you go in, she will tell you in person." ”

"So mysterious?" Ruotang also laughed, anyway, it's a happy thing, a little mysterious, a little mysterious, won't she know when she sees Princess Jin?

After entering the Yongshou Palace, it is natural to meet the Queen Mother first. In fact, Ruotang was still a little worried about this bright-eyed old lady, and respectfully greeted her, and heard the queen mother above her majesty shouting to her, Ruotang got up.

"Imperial grandmother, granddaughter-in-law made some soft cakes that are soft and easy to reduce." Ruotang took the rosewood double-layer snack box from the hands of the palace maid behind him, "The granddaughter-in-law can't do anything else, and she only has this bit of craftsmanship, please don't dislike it, grandmother." ”

"Oh?" The Queen Mother's cloudy and deep eyes flashed, "I often hear that girl from Fu Hui say that you have good cooking skills, and you don't want to mourn the family and have this blessing to eat what you make, take it." ”

In this palace, everyone knows that the most taboo is to send food. She was fine, and calmly brought the food to her.

Ruotang pursed his lips and smiled shyly: "It's the second sister-in-law who lifts her granddaughter-in-law, if your old man likes it, I will definitely make it for you to eat in the future." ”

The food box she brought was very small, with two layers on top and bottom, which could only hold two small plates.

The palace maid opened the food box, and a seductive fragrance suddenly overflowed the entire hall. The Queen Mother originally just wanted to give her a thin noodle to taste, but when she smelled the fragrance, she suddenly felt a gurgling sound in her stomach, and couldn't help but look at the small plate, a plate of golden square cakes, and a plate of small round cakes as white as frost, and immediately asked: "It doesn't look strange, but this fragrance is rare, what is this called, and how did you make it?" ”
