On the sixteenth day of the first month, Li Zheng personally conquered Youzhou, and the Son of Heaven took command, commanding 15,000 elite soldiers, and set off from the capital majestically.

The magnificence and astonishing of the scene attracted hundreds of people to watch and see them off.

The hearts of the common people are looking forward to a victory, but Ruan Linluo, who is standing on top of the palace at this time, wants nothing more than a big victory, but hopes that he can have a pair of wings that can fly freely like a bird.

Wanting to leave this palace city is already a luxury in this life for Ruan Linluo.

She can't do without it, but she doesn't care, and she doesn't care anymore.

Without freedom, there can be something else. But if you don't even have your life, you really have nothing.

Alive, she must live and live with dignity and grace, because only in this way can she protect the child and keep the prince!

For the sake of her son, she is willing to give everything she has, and she will do everything.

After Li Zheng left Beijing, all that remained in the imperial city was solemn and desolate cold air.

Inside and outside the palace, everyone had uneasiness and worry on their faces, for fear that one would not know that Li Huan, the king of Sui, had already attacked the city with his elite soldiers......

The waiting time is always long.

Ruan Linluo summoned her father and mother and wanted them to help her plan and see what to do in the future.

Ruan Xiping said very firmly: "Niangniang, don't be impatient, you must first keep the phoenix body healthy, and then you can think about it in the long run." The kingdom must not be disturbed, and no matter how ambitious the king is, he does not want to bear the reputation of a rebellious minister and thief. The saint is his brother and his sibling, if he really dares to take advantage of the situation, then, from now on, he will bear the infamy of a lifetime! ”

His opinion, like that of the ministers of the court, was that as long as the war in the north was eased, Li Huan would be nameless, and he would not be able to usurp the emperor's brother's Jiangshan Sheji in the name of saving the world.

However, Ruan Linluo did not think the opposite. The gentleman and the villain are only in a thought, whether they advance or retreat, and it is just a momentary decision.

Li Huan has been recuperating for two years, with the name of "Sui Wang" on his head, and he has been suppressed by the saint everywhere, but he does not resist, and the resentment in his heart is afraid that it is only shallow.

The huge country is in front of you, let alone a gentleman, even a saint is difficult not to move.

Ruan Linluo groaned slightly: "What I said before, my father and mother have planned it?" ”

Zhu Yuanlan was slightly stunned when she heard this: "Niangniang, don't you really want us to move back to Texas." ”

Ruan Linluo lowered her eyes: "For the sake of safety, you better go back quickly." ”

"No, how can the concubine leave Niangniang alone in this palace to live in distress......"

Ruan Linluo raised her hand and signaled her not to continue, "This palace is the mother of a country, the queen, in this life and this life, except for the inner courtyard of this deep palace, you can't go anywhere, and you can't go anywhere." The palace is heavily guarded, and the palace is fearless, but the father and mother are already old, and the elder brother is so young, the palace doesn't want you to stay and take risks...... Moreover, you are gone, and there is one less layer of worry in the heart of this palace. ”

Her energy was limited, and now, just taking care of the crown prince had exhausted her.

Ruan Xiping naturally did not follow, he was born as a military general, although this time because of the identity of the national abbot, he was not sent to Youzhou to fight, but he still had a military order on him, and at a critical time, he had to dispatch the Praetorian Guards to protect the imperial city and protect the safety of the Empress Dowager, Empress and Prince.

"If the minister doesn't leave, the minister wants to live and die together with his mother, and share hardships."

Ruan Linluo's eyes were slightly red, and she only said to her mother: "Since this is the case, then ask my mother to take my brother back first." Don't say no, you should think it is for the palace and the prince. ”

Zhu Yuanlan lowered her head and wiped her tears, choked for a long time, and then replied yes.

Ruan Xiping vowed to protect his daughter and the crown prince, and no one could shake his determination.

Ruan Linluo also took matters into his own hands and gave his father great rights to come and go freely in the palace without supervision.

The imperial city is important, and no one can enter the city without the emperor's order.

It's just that right now, the Holy Emperor is driving in person, and the Empress Dowager is seriously ill. In the huge palace city, only Ruan Linluo is the master, so her words are like a holy decree, and everyone can only listen to them, and there is no room for refutation.

When the Empress Dowager learned of Li Huan's intention to rebel, she became seriously ill.

The doctors said that they were in a hurry and needed to recuperate. But right now, the atmosphere in the palace, let alone recuperation, is simply a dead silence.

Ruan Linluo often came to visit the Empress Dowager, and when she saw her sick, she only felt heartache.

At this time, she needs the support of the Queen Mother the most.

Mama Cui, who was next to the Queen Mother, personally helped Ruan Linluo into the inner room and sat next to the Queen Mother's bed.

"The Empress Dowager, how are you?" Ruan Linluo asked softly.

The Queen Mother opened her heavy eyelids, glanced at her, and replied, "The Holy Lord is really gone." What can you do......"

Ruan Linluo's eyes flashed when she heard this, and she looked up at Mama Cui and asked, "How is the Queen Mother's body?" ”

Cui Mama shook her head again, and sighed again: "If you go back to your mother, the queen mother's health has not been very good, and she always has to make some old problems of headache and brain fever every winter." In the past few days, because of the matter of the holy king, the queen mother has not been able to eat and sleep well, and her physical recovery has naturally worsened. ”

As soon as her words fell, the Queen Mother murmured again: "Prince...... The prince is still so young, what should I do? ”

Ruan Linluo's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said softly: "The Queen Mother is recuperating with peace of mind, and the Holy Lord will definitely return triumphantly." ”

The Queen Mother shook her head, took a deep breath and said, "It doesn't matter whether the Holy Lord wins or loses. He's gone...... This move is already a throw in the towel......"

Ruan Linluo's expression instantly became heavy, only to hear the Queen Mother seem to sigh, and continued: "This is all fate...... Can't hide from ...... Do you know how the Holy One plotted to seize the throne back then? It's the same...... cough cough cough ...... What the saint can calculate, of course the king can calculate...... What kind of flesh and blood relatives, it's all a joke! It's just a joke......"

The only person in this palace who can tell her the truth is the Queen Mother.

Ruan Linluo muttered, "What should the concubine do?" ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she slowly stretched out her hand from the quilt, took her hand weakly, and frowned: "Keep the prince, no matter what, keep the prince......"

Her mouth kept repeating the words to protect the prince, protect the prince, as if this sentence was like a mantra, as long as she read it more, it would come true.

Ruan Linluo smiled bitterly: "This is natural, no matter what, the concubine will keep the prince, even if it is ...... death."

As soon as her words fell, the Queen Mother suddenly exerted force, grabbed her hand and said, "Can't die...... The crown prince can only live if you live...... You are his life talisman! ”
