In the imperial study, the empress read and put down the batch of folds sent today, handed them over to Narcissus to seal them, and stuffed them into the bookcase in the room.

After doing this, the empress stretched her waist for a long time, stood up from behind the dragon bookcase, patted her mouth, yawned, and said, "It's over, I'm tired." ”

Narcissus smiled on the side: "Your Majesty, in fact, you don't have to be so tired, like some small things, you can leave it to Zhongshu Province to do." ”

The empress smacked her mouth: "Come on, Zhongshu Province was controlled by the Qingzhou Party earlier, I killed a lot of people before, and now the officials sent to Zhongshu Province are all newly promoted, and it will take a while for me to consider their ability and loyalty." ”

Hearing the empress say this, Narcissus just shook her head helplessly.

"Narcissus, are you hungry?" The Empress asked.

Narcissus understood as soon as he heard it: "The minister will order the imperial dining room to prepare." ”

The Empress smiled and nodded.

When Narcissus walked out, he arrived at the door, and the general guarding the noon gate appeared at the door and knelt down: "Your Majesty, Miss Hongxiang said that she has something important to see." ”

Narcissus stepped aside and looked back at the empress.

The empress in the room hesitated for a moment: "Hongxiang? The maid next to Xiao Laizi? ”

Narcissus nodded: "It seems to be." ”

The empress didn't understand: "What trick does Xiao Laizi play, let Hongxiang come to me for something?" ”

As she spoke, the empress raised her head and asked the general, "What does she want to see me?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Miss Hongxiang gave the last general a gold leaf, and asked the last general to hand it over to His Majesty, saying that this is the meaning of the king's servant, as long as His Majesty looks at this gold leaf, he will understand."

As he spoke, the general took out the golden leaf that Hongxiang had given him from his bosom and held it high above his head.

Narcissus took it, went to the empress, and gave it with both hands.

When the empress took the gold leaf from Narcissus and looked at it in her hand, and noticed the word Guangling engraved on it, she was taken aback and hurriedly ordered the general: "Quick, bring people." ”

When the general heard this, he turned around and left.

Narcissus was also surprised and asked the empress: "Your Majesty, who are you?" ”

The empress didn't speak, but threw the gold leaf over with a gloomy face.

Narcissus took a look, and also reacted the same as the empress: "This is from Guangling's money bank!" ”

The empress snorted: "It seems that Zhao Sui, this guy, is ready to make trouble under my nose again." ”

With a wave of her robe sleeves, the empress sat down after returning to the dragon book case, waiting for Hongxiang to come.

About a stick of incense about a moment later, the general led the red incense to the door of the imperial study.

"See, I've seen Your Majesty."

Although Hongxiang has seen the empress, it is the first time to see it at such a close distance (the Hongxiang in the last echo valley is only seen from a distance.) ）

So much so that the little girl was so frightened that she took a deep breath, knelt down, and couldn't help but stammer.

The expression on the empress's face did not change in the slightest, and she hummed softly: "Get up." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Hongxiang, I ask you, this gold leaf, did Xiao Laizi ask you to send it back?" The empress asked, holding the golden leaf.

Hongxiang nodded, and explained everything that happened after leaving the palace.

Moreover, even Wang Xiaolai's speculation that he suspected Zhao Sui in Daxing City was also said.

When the empress heard this, she sneered, patted the dragon book case in front of her, and said, "Narcissus!" ”

Narcissus clenched his fists and stepped forward: "The minister is here." ”

"Mobilize the secret guards, I will personally lead and go to capture Zhao Sui."

The empress's words made Narcissus stunned: "Your Majesty, you..."

The empress glanced at her: "Go quickly." ”

Seeing that the empress's words could not be resisted, Narcissus had no other good way, so she could only admit: "Obey the order." ”

After a while, the secret guards had already been assembled, and the empress also changed out of her dragon robe, put on a military uniform, and hung a sword at her waist, and said to Hongxiang: "Do you still recognize the road?" ”

Facing the empress with full aura, Hongxiang nodded blankly.

The empress said: "Okay, in that case, you lead the way." ”

So, the secret guard led by the empress came out of the imperial city all the way...

···

At the wine table, Wang Xiaolai and Feng Qingyun were both a little drunk, and the two were talking enthusiastically about the issue of the royalists.

For the organization of the royalists, Feng Qingyun can be said to be more important than his own life.

Especially after drinking, no one is allowed to say a bad word between words.

At the beginning, Wang Xiaolai could calm down and find out the potential drawbacks of the royalists for Feng Qingyun, but later, Wang Xiaolai's temper also came up, and the two scolded directly.

It can be said that the two had a very unpleasant quarrel.

But seeing Wang Xiaolai staring at him, he was panting with anger.

Feng Qingyun was blushing and thick-necked, and he was-for-tat with Wang Xiaolai.

"Feng Juren, no matter what, we are also friends, I stand in the position of friends, I remind you, according to your method, the road of the royalists will only get narrower and narrower, even if your royalists are of the same mind as Your Majesty, but there are many people who have offended, Your Majesty will also abandon the royalists."

Wang Xiaolai said.

Feng Qingyun laughed: "If there is really that day, Feng also admits it, the existence of the royalist party is all Your Majesty, if Your Majesty says that you want to eliminate the royalist, then starting from me Feng, the 60,000 members of the royalist party will all be slaughtered." ”

Wang Xiaolai scolded: "Crazy, his mother's world is full of madmen. ”

Feng Qingyun snorted: "Wang Shizhong, you don't understand. ”

Wang Xiaolai slapped the table and retorted: "Why don't I understand? If you don't understand, it's you. ”

Feng Qingyun shook his head, and then ripped open the placket on his chest, on his chest, there was obviously a scar, like an earthworm lying together, extremely disgusting, this injury was still left when he was in Shuangxi Town.

"Wang Shizhong, you are deeply appreciated by Your Majesty, you have never experienced human suffering, you don't know what Feng is thinking!! I don't know what the royalists are looking forward to, these 60,000 people!! ”

Feng Qingyun shouted at the top of his voice, and he was stunned to stop Wang Xiaolai.

He stared blankly.

But seeing that the latter's eyes seemed to be rolling with tears, he sobbed: "The wind has been cold for twenty years, my heart is in the abyss, looking up at the clouds, and now, I am about to touch the clouds, you shouldn't stop me." ”

"I'm not stopping you, I'm helping you, so that the royalists don't get more and more crooked."

Things have developed so far, Wang Xiaolai has also sobered up, and said softly.

Feng Qingyun shook his head: "Is my way extreme?" No, it's not, it's Brother Wang, your vision is too narrow, now the Suiyang Dynasty is in chaos, Your Majesty needs a non-governmental organization like the Royalist Party, I stand up at this time, look at it, it won't take long for me to be like you, standing on the Taihe Hall that all scholars yearn for, and shouting to see my emperor. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaolai also understood, he stood up and shook his head: "It seems that the two of us, after all, are different in the Tao and have different aspirations, since this is the case, then this wine, don't drink it, if his words come true, then the right should be my crow's mouth." ”

Saying that, Wang Xiaolai was about to leave.

At this moment, a royalist member rushed in from outside, and while running in, he said: "My lord, my lord, it's not good, it's not good, there are many women in black clothes outside." ”

Feng Qingyun was stunned when he heard this: "Woman? What's going on? ”

Next to Wang Xiaolai's heart was broken, he asked Hongxiang to take the gold leaf back to the palace, and told the empress that she had found Zhao Sui, now it's okay, the empress believed it, and sent a secret guard to come, proper, the crime of bullying the king is not running away this time.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaolai hurriedly ran out.

Seeing this, Feng Qingyun also followed.

When the two came to the courtyard, more than a dozen secret guards led by Camellia had already drawn their knives and walked in.

They walked towards the royalists in the courtyard, and when they saw that they were about to make a move, Wang Xiaolai hurriedly shouted: "Slow down, keep people under the knife!" ”

Camellia stopped when he heard the sound, followed the sound and looked over, and saw Wang Xiaolai, who was also stunned: "Lord Wang, are you okay?" Are these people all Zhao Sui's subordinates? ”

Wang Xiaolai ran up: "What is Sister Camellia, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, these are all royalists, royalists." ”

"Xiao Laizi, what do you mean by this, Hongxiang Ming and I said, these people are Zhao Sui's hiding place in Daxing City, how did they become royalists again, what the hell is going on!"

At this moment, the empress who followed the team came in from outside the door, pushed away several secret guards in front of her, stood at the front, and asked coldly.
