Because of Mao Leyan's affection, King Jing immediately asked his soldiers and horses to secretly return to the court after returning home. He didn't feel anything before, but since Mao Leyan said it, he felt a depressed feeling, as if a storm was really coming.

Liu gradually finally knew that Mao Leyan had gone to Jingwangfu, he was very surprised and angry, but slowly calmed down, he knew that Mao Leyan would not go to Jingwangfu for no reason, with her temperament, there must be something she had to do.

He ordered someone to send a letter to King Jing's Mansion, and there was no room for the letter, only a short sentence: Waiting for you to come back!

When Mao Leyan received the letter, he was stunned for a moment, and then understood what he meant. He knew that she was angry, so he didn't write anything about being sorry superficially, and only wrote in an infatuated tone to wait for her to come back. In this way, it can warm Mao Leyan's heart more than apologizing.

The person who sent the letter was Liu Yan's secret guard, and he asked, "What does Niangniang have to return to the emperor?" ”

Mao Leyan put the letter on the candlelight, and the candle flame quickly burned the white rice paper, and she said lightly: "You only need to inform the emperor, and say I know." ”

The dark guard was slightly stunned, "That's it?" ”

"Yes, the emperor will understand." Mao Leyan said, "You leave quickly, this place is heavily guarded, and people will see it in a while, and your life will not be guaranteed." "This is where she lives, and only those martial arts people will relax their guards and dare not come to disturb, so the secret guards can easily come in.

The Dark Guard nodded and flew away.

Liu gradually listened to the secret guard's reply, and a faint smile appeared on her face, she knew, in other words, she would come back.

Only this time, when she comes back, he will cherish her even more, and he will not break her heart with such angry words again.

"Your Majesty, the recital of the prince of the town." King Qing hurriedly entered the palace, followed by Mo Li, and the chapter was sent to the military department, and Mo Li happened to be there, so he entered the palace with King Qing.

Liu gradually retracted his thoughts, reached out to take the concerto, and slowly frowned.

Seeing him like this, King Qing asked, "Your Majesty, what happened?" Isn't the prince of the town going back to the dynasty? The good news just arrived two days ago, so why did another piece of music immediately follow? ”

Liu gradually said slowly: "Uncle Huang said that he wants to take the southwest, pass through King Jing's fiefdom, and raise the prestige of our army. ”

Mo Li pondered for a moment and said: "The southwest is not the only way to return to Beijing, if you deliberately take the southwest in order to enhance the prestige of our army, it will inevitably take a lot of time. ”

King Qing said: "Actually, it's not a bad thing, our army has returned triumphantly, if you can let the people of the southwest see it, you will definitely worship my big Liu Junwei, and it will also show that my big Liu is strong, and at the same time, it can also give King Jing who intends to rebel a wake-up call!" ”

"That's what Uncle Huang meant, but I always feel that something is wrong." Liu gradually worried.

Mo Li also felt that something was wrong, "Could it be that the prince has other plans?" ”

"If you have any plans, why don't you write them in the cantata?" Liu gradually frowned.

Everyone couldn't think of a reason, but Liu Xian, the king of Qing, said something shocking, "Could it be that he intends to join the southwest sergeant?" ”

"Nonsense!" Liu gradually became furious, "Uncle Huang is loyal to the imperial court, absolutely not." ”

Liu Xian also knew that he had said a little too much, and said: "It's me who is too suspicious, and the prince of Zhen is very angry with the prince of Jing because of the Yuanyuan incident, how can it be?" ”

"However, there are still doubts about this matter." Liu gradually called Li Yuan, "The spies who are monitoring the southwest, can there be any news back?" ”

Li Yuandao: "Back to the emperor, there are flying pigeons coming back every day, saying that the southwest is calm now, and King Jing has not seen any changes. ”

Liu gradually nodded, "If this is the case, I understand Uncle Huang's thoughts a little, he has just won the war, and the class teacher has returned to the dynasty, so he naturally wants to show his majesty with the enemy, and also frustrate the spirit of the Southwest Army." Fortunately, the road through the southwest is only ten days and eight days longer, and I have allowed it. As he spoke, he felt a little inappropriate, and looked at Mo Li, Mo Li's expression was also very solemn, and he asked, "What is your opinion?" ”

Mo Li thought about it and shook his head, "I can't say why, but I always feel weird." After a pause, he said with relief: "However, I'm afraid that the prince of the town has a sense of pride because of the victory, and it is common sense to want to show his majesty." ”

King Qing said: "Maybe yes, after all, because of the Yuanyuan incident, the prince of the town has always had a grudge against King Jing. Passing through the southwest, it is to force King Jing to receive, and if King Jing does not receive it, he will be disrespectful to the heroes of the court. ”

Liu gradually nodded and said, "Well, Li Yuan, I have drafted my will, and I have approved it." ”

Li Yuan said respectfully: "The slave takes the order!" ”

In the evening, Liu gradually came to the queen's palace.

He didn't allow anyone to make a sound, and he didn't allow anyone to follow, he stepped into the high threshold alone, in the main hall, the palace maids were busy, and when they saw him come in, they hurriedly bowed and saluted, Liu gradually asked, "What about the queen?" ”

A palace maid replied: "The queen is in the dormitory, and the slave maid immediately went to inform the queen to come out to pick up the car!" ”

Liu gradually said lightly: "No need, I will go in personally!" ”

The palace maids were a little frightened, and they didn't understand why the emperor didn't order someone to announce the decree this time, and it was always Li Yuan's father-in-law who came first and informed the queen to prepare to take over, but now this is the first time that he has come suddenly.

Liu gradually entered the dormitory, the queen was holding a book in her hand, sitting on the chaise longue near the window in a daze, the dormitory was lit with incense, and the fragrance filled every corner.

This fragrance is different from the fragrance he smells when he comes to the queen's bedroom on weekdays, he frowned slightly, and clearly remembered that this kind of lily fragrance is King Jing's favorite.

"Your Majesty?" was packing up her things, and when she turned around, she saw Liu gradually standing at the door of the dormitory, her face was cold, her heart sank, and she hurriedly saluted: "Slaves and maids see the emperor!" ”

The queen turned her head and quickly got up, her expression was a little abrupt, and she was slightly blessed: "The emperor is here!" She reproached slightly, "Why don't people outside come to report?" The concubine is rude, the emperor forgives the sin! ”

"I didn't let them know," Liu said softly, "I just think that since you married Liu Guo, I haven't talked to you like an ordinary couple." ”

The queen smiled slightly, put down the scroll in her hand, moved the lotus step lightly, walked in front of Liu Yan, and said softly: "What does the emperor want to talk about with his concubines?" ”

Liu gradually looked at the queen, and his tone was a little stiff, "The queen has worked hard for me to manage the harem for so many years, and she has never been jealous, I am very happy to have such a competent queen." ”

The queen smiled again and said: "The concubine just thinks that as long as there is no dispute in the harem, the emperor can rest assured about political affairs. How can the concubines allow some jealousy in the harem to distract the emperor? ”

Liu gradually didn't speak, sat on the chair, stepped forward to serve tea, and quietly took the incense burner from the pear blossom wood coffee table.

Seeing that Liu Yan's expression was a little solemn, the queen asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, is something wrong?" ”

Liu gradually nodded slightly, and said lightly: "I can only tell the queen about this matter." ”

The queen sat down, with a shallow smile on Duanxiu's face, "The concubines are willing to share the emperor's worries." ”

Liu gradually looked up at her and looked at her for a long time before he said slowly: "I just made a decree to put King Jing to death!" ”

The queen's face turned white, she stood up suddenly, and said in shock: "Your Majesty, this is ...... Why? Hasn't King Jing already released his military power? There was a hint of sadness in her voice, her expression flustered, and her body trembled slightly.

Liu Yan has never seen such a disproportionate queen, even if he was assassinated before and seriously injured in bed, she is also dignified and dignified, never like now, so flustered that she can't even speak. His heart sank, and it seemed that what Xiao Yan said was the truth.

Liu gradually said lightly: "I suspect that King Jing has bad intentions and intends to rebel, and it is reasonable for me to execute him." ”

The queen shook her head, her teeth trembled slightly, she twisted her dress tightly with both hands, knelt down with a puff, and said: "Please think twice, King Jing did have the ambition to usurp the throne in the past, but now he is only Shuntianfu Yin, his mind is no longer on the throne, he is completely obedient to the emperor, if the emperor insists on killing his brother, I am afraid that he will be scolded by the world!" ”

"Bold!" Liu gradually became furious, and looked at the queen with sharp eyes, "Empress, do you know what you are talking about?" ”

The queen also knew that she had lost her proportion, and she tried to stabilize her emotions, but her mind was full of Liu Yan's words that she would execute King Jing, she couldn't calm down, couldn't calm down, and there was nothing she could do, so she just kowtowed vigorously, "The concubine is guilty, but I hope that the emperor will let King Jing go with his brotherly affection!" ”

Liu Yan's voice was as cold as coming from hell, "Empress, are you going to abandon the people of the motherland for the sake of King Jing?" ”

The queen was shocked, looked up at Liu Yan, the coldness in Liu Yan's eyes made her feel frightened, her body trembled, knelt on the ground, Fang Fang's pale face because of worry has now turned pale, she said a little desperately: "Concubine, I don't know what the emperor said?" ”

Liu gradually reached out and pinched her chin, and said coldly, "I don't know what I said?" How long have you been with King Jing? ”

The queen shook her head, tears slipped from her eyes, and finally the emperor knew, "The emperor wants to kill him because of this?" The emperor, the concubines and him, were affectionate and polite, and there was no overstepping. "She hurt him, she still hurt him after all, thinking that if she hid it well, she would be fine, but how can there be an impermeable wall in the world?

As soon as Zheng'er came in and heard it, he rushed up and knelt in front of Liu Yan, and begged: "The emperor is clear, and the slave can testify, there is really no personal relationship between the queen mother and King Jing, and they are as innocent as water, and the emperor is aware of it." ”

Liu gradually said coldly: "Can you testify?" What can you do? You are the person next to the queen, what you say and say is all to help your master, queen, queen, I thought that Xiao Yan made up words because of delusion about the queen's position, but I didn't expect that there was really a personal relationship between you and King Jing. ”

The queen was stunned, did she say it? Why did she sell herself? She looked depressed and said in despair: "Whether the emperor believes it or not, the concubines and King Jing are innocent." If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can kill his concubines. ”
