Lin Yunrou was not frightened this night, she was helped back to Zhaoyang Hall by the girls, lying on the beauty couch, and her whole body was still trembling with fright.

"It's her...... She must be back! Lin Yunrou's eyes widened in horror, staring at the door, and only darkness was spreading in her empty eyes.

"Mother, who did you say came back?" The valet asked worriedly.

Lin Yunrou grabbed the handmaiden's hand and said nervously: "It's a painting!" That dancing girl is Huayan, she's back! She wants to seek revenge on me, and she is looking for me for revenge! ”

"Niangniang, you are wrong, that is not the painting of the face, the painting of the eyes...... It's long gone...... "The maid comforted Lin Yunrou while wiping the sweat from her forehead.

"yes, her eyes...... How could it be ......" Lin Yunrou remembered the knife-like gaze of the woman in red, and suddenly shuddered, she couldn't stop shaking her head, "It must be her, it must be her, even if it turns to ashes, I can recognize her!" ”

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered many things she had done in the past, painting the picture of Shu's tragic death, painting the gouged out eyes, and the poisoned painting Taishou couple...... These images replayed in her mind over and over again, and they were about to drive her crazy.

She subconsciously touched her waist, and the jade plate was gone!

She remembered the previous change of clothes, suddenly jumped up, looked around, and looked at every girl around her, but she couldn't find the girl named Xiaolan, "Xiaolan...... Little Blue? Lin Yunrou paced among the maids and looked carefully again, and she suddenly understood everything, "Xiaolan, Shenglan?" ”

The doubts were finally verified, but Lin Yunrou sat down weakly.

The girls didn't know what was going on, and when they saw the concubine's abnormal appearance, they panicked and turned their heads and ears, "Huayan won't really come back, right?" ”

"That's okay, isn't the palace going to be turned upside down by her? I heard that she is very capable! ”

Lin Yunrou was shocked from her confusion and scolded angrily: "Shut up! Shut up all to Hongu! ”

"Mother's anger!" The girl in the hall knelt on the ground.

"No...... This palace is the Great Song Guifei, she is in a high position, and the palace is heavily guarded, she can't and doesn't dare to do anything to this palace......" Lin Yunrou comforted herself while helping the girl to get up.

"This palace is tired, help me in to rest." Lin Yunrou finally stabilized her heart, rubbed her temples in severe pain, and walked towards the dormitory, slowly she stopped, pushed away the maid behind her, and stared at a bright, lush peach blossom on the tea table in surprise.

Peach blossoms have always been the symbol of the peach orchard, and now that it is the autumn equinox, the peach blossoms that have passed the season suddenly appear in Lin Yunrou's bedroom, obviously hinting at her something.

It seems that the palace has long been covered with peach orchard eyeliner.

"Amazing...... Amazing! Lin Yunrou overturned the vase, nervously looking left and right, and the grass and trees were all soldiers. She no longer dared to close her eyes and fall asleep, for fear that she would die if she didn't notice it.

She couldn't bear this permeating fear anymore, she didn't care about her untidy makeup, lifted her skirt, pushed away everyone's obstructions, and ran quickly towards Cixi Palace.

Hurry up and tell the Queen Mother the news of Huayan's trespass in the palace, and it is best to let the Queen Mother send troops to encircle and suppress her!

Time was in a hurry, she didn't sit in the sedan chair, and stumbled all the way to the gate of Cixi Palace.

Lin Yunrou tore down the wet hair that clung to her cheeks, and panted as she climbed the stairs of Cixi Palace.

The attendant was also shocked by Lin Yunrou's gaffe, for fear that she would collide with the Queen Mother, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Concubine Niangniang, the Queen Mother has gone to bed, come again tomorrow!" ”

Lin Yunrou pushed the attendant away, opened the door and rushed in.

"Queen Mother! Hurry up, hurry up and send someone to chase, she ...... It's back! Lin Yunrou rushed to the queen mother's bedroom, but she didn't have time to salute, so she hurriedly said.

The Queen Mother was changing her clothes, and suddenly heard a commotion behind her, and when she looked back, it was Lin Yunrou again, she couldn't help frowning, and scolded angrily: "Presumptuous!" ”

Lin Yunrou was shocked back to her senses by this reprimand, and knelt in front of the Queen Mother with weak legs, "The Queen Mother forgives her sins!" Concubines...... The concubine is really forced to do so! ”

"Oh? Why did the concubine dare to break into the dormitory of the mourning family, the mourning family wants to listen to you, if you can't tell the beginning and the end, don't blame the mourning family for being ruthless! "The Queen Mother has long been tired of Lin Yunrou's complaints about being jealous of the harem concubines all day long, and in the past, it was still tolerable for her unfortunate loss of children, but now she chased her to the palace and made her uneasy, but she was completely angered.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was finally willing to listen to herself, Lin Yunrou's eyes lit up, and she immediately stood up and leaned over to the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, ...... painting"

The guards who rushed in outside the door interrupted Lin Yunrou's next words.

"Empress Dowager Qiqi, something is wrong! Yonghua Hall is gone! ”

"What?!" The Queen Mother brushed away Lin Yunrou who was blocking her, Huo Ran got up and asked, "What's the matter?!" ”

The guards hesitated and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, the Yonghua Palace is often unattended, and the wind is strong tonight, blowing over the candles in the hall, so I ......"

The Queen Mother was in a hurry to walk out of the door, remembered something, and asked, "How are the concubines and princesses?" ”

The guard stammered even more, "Back to the Queen Mother, it's too ...... Concubines and princesses...... Not spared......"

The Queen Mother suddenly paused, as if surprised and happy: "Really?!" ”

The guards nodded vigorously, "The fire is fierce, I'm afraid there are no bones left......"

Although the Queen Mother did not speak again, the corners of her mouth still showed her cheerful mood.

Lin Yunrou caught up from the dormitory again, "It must have been her fire!" Queen Mother, if you don't send someone to arrest her, it's too late! ”

The Queen Mother turned around and asked suspiciously: "Did the concubine mean that someone deliberately set the fire?" Who is so bold? ”

Lin Yunrou nodded excitedly, and was about to say the name of the painting face, when she suddenly saw the two forbidden soldiers guarding outside the Queen Mother's gate both raising their heads and staring at herself, one finger had gradually pried open the scabbard, showing the shiny half-cut hilt, which immediately scared the words in her mouth back!

She couldn't help but gasp, and a chill ran down her back.

It's all her people! Even the Praetorian Army is no exception!

Lost, completely lost!

If you confront her head-on at this time, I'm afraid you won't see the sun tomorrow! I had to hide it for the time being and find another life.

Thinking of this, Lin Yunrou shook her head categorically, "The concubine doesn't know...... The concubine just guessed that I don't know which slave had a grudge against the concubine......"

The Queen Mother wanted to ask a question, but suddenly saw a guard come to report, "The Empress Dowager, the Battle of Tongzhou, General Tan...... Defeated! ”

"What?! Defeated?! The Queen Mother was shocked by this news and retreated again and again. She looked at the red light of the angry waves in the south in confusion, and muttered, "Bad omen, bad omen! ”

"Queen Mother......" Lin Yunrou had never seen the Queen Mother look so flustered, so she carefully supported her and called softly, for fear that she would faint with excitement for a while.

The Queen Mother froze and asked fiercely, "Where is General Tan?!" ”

The guard arched his hand and said, "General Tan is kneeling outside the palace gate, waiting for the instructions of the Queen Mother." ”

"Let him come to the mourning family immediately! Call Lord Xie and Lord Xu again! The Queen Mother pushed away the support of the people on both sides, straightened her clothes, and drifted away like a gust of wind.

"Yes!" The guards quickly followed behind the Queen Mother and ran away.

Lin Yunrou secretly glanced at the two forbidden army guards in fear, and saw that they didn't look at herself, and returned to her usual appearance.

But she didn't dare to do the test anymore, and hurried back to her palace in a hurry with the girl in her arms.

The Queen Mother rushed to the Taiji Palace angrily, the emperor Liu Yifu had not yet arrived, the Queen Mother opened the curtain and sat down directly on the emperor's throne in front of the palace.

She slapped the case angrily and said to Tan Daoji, who was kneeling in the hall, "What's the matter? Go ahead?! ”

Tan Daoji's face flushed, bowed down, and said regretfully: "Back to the Queen Mother, it is the minister's negligence, the minister is guilty, please ask the Queen Mother to deal with the minister's crime!" ”

"What the hell is going on, you explain it clearly to the mourning family!" The Queen Mother said with a roar.

Tan Daoji raised his head slightly, and then he told everything that happened on the battlefield, and at the end he still couldn't help but wonder, "I know Zhu Chaoshi best, he can only dance with knives and sticks, and he has no culture, if he is alone, it is impossible to break my turtle hiding array, there must be a master behind this guy to help!" ”

The Queen Mother sneered, "General Tan will pass the blame on others!" ”

Tan Daoji was dumbfounded by the Queen Mother's words, since he followed the first emperor to fight the country, neither the first emperor nor the current emperor had ever said such humiliating words to him, but he was powerless to refute, just waiting to shrug his head and listen.

Xu Xianzhi stood up and said: "The Queen Mother is angry, General Tan's achievements since the founding of the country are obvious to all, and the minister believes that General Tan must have done his best." Although General Tan made mistakes in this battle, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers......"

The Queen Mother interrupted: "Lord Xu is saying that the mourning family is strong?!" ”

Xu Xianzhi was stunned, and hurriedly knelt down and replied: "The minister doesn't dare, the minister is speechless......"

Xie Hui had a different opinion, he heard that Zhu Chaoshi had a master to help, so he believed it a little, and stepped forward and said: "Queen Mother, the minister feels that this matter is indeed not so simple. Tongzhou borders Pei County and Luling County, and the master is probably from these two families. ”

Tan Daoji immediately said: "It must be so! I remember that there was a young man in Tongzhou City at that time, who dared to call forward single-handedly, and his martial arts were extremely high, and the wall was ten zhang high, and he easily jumped over. In my opinion, he must be a man in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Jianghu young man? Extremely high light power? Xie Hui turned the jade wrench on his thumb, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, and said: "Queen Mother, that young man from the rivers and lakes must be from Taoyuan!" It has long been rumored that after the painting came back from the dead, he defected to the third prince. Then Zhu Chaoshi may have colluded with the Third Prince! ”

Xu Xianzhi half bent over, his heart was suddenly shocked, thinking that he should always say something, to clear some suspicions for the third prince, he raised his head and said: "Queen Mother, the minister thinks that the third prince has always only cared about drinking and composing, and it is unlikely that he will have such leisure, and besides, he yearns for a leisurely affair, how can he get such a climate." The minister felt that the second prince, Liu Yizhen, was recruiting troops everywhere, and the staff in the palace gathered people, and the high-ranking people came out of the Luling Palace. ”

Xie Hui glanced at Xu Xianzhi coldly, "Lord Xu's words are a bit far-fetched!" ”

Xu Xian's face was calm and said, "The minister just thought of something and said something." There is nothing else, unlike Lord Xie. ”

Xie Hui had already had doubts about Xu Xianzhi, and pointed at him angrily and said, "Lord Xu has done everything possible to clear the third prince, is it that the two of you have already colluded?!" ”

Xu Xianzhi calmly shook off a sentence, "Lord Xie is doing everything possible to speak for the second prince, what is his intention?" ”

"You! Honest and untrustworthy! ”

"Enough! The mourning family asked you to come to analyze the situation for the mourning family, not to let you quarrel! The Queen Mother held her heavy head and interrupted impatiently.

A woman who has been in the harem all her life, how many difficulties she has overcome along the way, there is always something special about her, and at this moment she still gives full play to her strengths and accurately grasps the core of the problem from the chaos.

She raised her heavy head, looked at Tan Daoji with a deep gaze and asked, "The 150,000 army has been wiped out, and the mourning family is interested," she said, leaning forward and asking, "How can General Tan return safely?" ”
