Chapter 13, burying the hidden heart

"When they told you you were leaving, I chased after you. There were a lot of people in there just now, so I didn't say anything. My husband has a matter that I would like to ask you to help me with." Su Xiuniang gasped and said.

Lu Zhaoyi smiled and motioned for her to speak.

But she was extremely cautious, looked left and right, pushed Qu Zhiyun away, and pulled her into the carriage together.

Seeing this, Lu Zhaoyi couldn't help but sigh lightly, let him take it into the carriage, and left Qu Zhiyun in place.

Qu Zhiyun pouted helplessly, and couldn't help but curse secretly, while she sat in the carriage and drove the carriage.

Soon, they set off under the escort of the shadow guards and the servants of the Liang Palace.

In the carriage, Su Xiuniang sat next to Lu Zhaoyi, with a serious expression, as if she had something important to say.

Lu Zhaoyi looked at her, and couldn't guess what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.

"When my husband and I left the palace this morning, he suddenly remembered something, and I thought I would have to explain it to you." Su Xiuniang adjusted her sitting posture and solemnly said, "He remembered that in Chaoge County, the servant of the Xie family who he killed by mistake had an object on his body, because they were scuffling together at that time, and the object somehow ended up in my husband's hand."

After speaking, she took out a sachet from her cuff and handed it to Lu Zhaoyi.

"I've seen what's inside...... It is a secret letter about the correspondence between a certain minister of Luojing and Dongning. It talks in detail about how to rescue Zhou Yi and promise to cede to Dongning, Liaodong and Lelang."

Hearing this, Lu Zhaoyi held the hand of the sachet and paused unconsciously, and his face immediately turned blue.

This is evidence of the crime of collaborating with the enemy.

She helped open the sachet, opened the secret letter, and read it through from beginning to end, and the doubts in her heart were even more indescribable.

After reading it, she panicked, and her heart became more panicked, and she hurriedly put the letter away.

"You really want to give me something so important?" It took a long time for Lu Zhaoyi to stabilize his mind and open his mouth.

"You also understand that this thing is extremely important evidence, and once this letter is published, there will be a group of people in the court who will be killed. Is King Liang really willing to give up and use this thing as a threat in exchange for power?"

Su Xiuniang's eyebrows widened slightly, and her eyes seemed to be extremely firm, and then she sighed.

"He wanted to keep it, but I persuaded him. The world is not his Xia family's world. If this physical evidence is true, it is a disaster at the dawn of the world. For this reason, he also weighed it again and again, and was willing to hand it over to those who needed her."

Speaking of this, she raised her head and looked out the window, her expression revealing a hint of indifference.

"Qi Niang, do you know? Xia Ran may have been obsessed with power, but now, we just want to live this life peacefully. Xu saw through the pros and cons of power, and did not fight or grab, so that His Majesty let down his guard for him and spare his life."

"Good, good ......"

Lu Zhaoyi was tactful, staring at her with his eyes, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Until the door of King Liang's mansion, Lu Zhaoyi sent her off the carriage, Su Xiuniang walked a few steps, and suddenly turned back, her smile was extremely bright at this moment, "Qi Niang, take care. If there is a crisis, it is incumbent upon the people of the Liang Palace."

Lu Zhaoyi smiled and nodded, paused slightly, and only spit out two words......

Also!

Su Xiuniang bowed slightly, turned around and walked into the threshold.

looked at each other, and it wasn't until she entered the house that Lu Zhaoyi came back to do it, looked at the car window, and motioned for Qu Zhiyun to come in.

Then he handed her the letter.

"Let's go, let's go to the other courtyard first." She said with a blank face, "This letter. You send someone to check carefully, do those old Nanling departments in Luojing have private dealings with Dongning...... And to find out what Xie Dongfeng has to do with them?"

Qu Zhiyun's expression was stunned, and she agreed instead.

Sometimes, it is not possible to determine the sin committed by the person with a single letter.

And the appearance of this thing also reminded her of the thing she didn't figure out last night.

Xie Dongfeng is the history of Yuzhou, why did he cross Yanzhou and appear in Chaoge County.

Now it seems that Xie Dongfeng is extremely strong

It is possible that at that time, he was going north to deliver a letter, passing through Chaoge County, meeting with King Liang, and had a dispute.

If Xie Dongfeng found out that the secret letter disappeared from the domestic servant, then it would be certain that it must have been taken away by King Liang. Only then did he run to the front of the palace with great fanfare and ask His Majesty for impeachment.

At the moment, they didn't know that the secret letter was already in Lu Zhaoyi's hands, but they were afraid that those people would continue to be unfavorable to the people of Liang Wangfu.

Thinking of this, she immediately made a decision to let Xia Yuanlong, the commander of the Black Armor Guard, send someone to protect King Liang and his wife.

The Imperial Palace, the East Pavilion Hall.

Xia Pei, who had just finished the morning court, was tired, sat on the dragon chair, rubbed his temples, and asked the chamberlain next to him to pour a cup of tea to moisten his throat.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good."

Before the tea could be eaten, a panicked shout suddenly came from outside the hall.

Xia Pei frowned, a little annoyed in his heart, he had already retreated, no one had left yet, and this voice was too loud.

Just as they were about to get angry, three middle-aged ministers stumbled in, their faces full of anxiety.

"What the hell is going on, what kind of system is it to be so flustered!"

Xia Pei scolded sharply, his tone quite displeased.

The three ministers trembled, quickly knelt down, and confessed one after another.

"Your Majesty's forgiveness, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty is angry! Wechen and the others have something important to report."

"Say it!" Seeing them like this, Xia Pei raised his hand slightly to signal them to report, and at the same time, the half-raised tea bowl was put aside by him.

"Yes, yes!"

The three of them glanced at each other, and then one of them said, "Your Majesty, just after retiring from the court, when the ministers walked out of the palace gate, they saw Ying Yuewei and his party blocking the palace gate, and handed over the Gou Chen order to Yuan Zuoxiang, and then Yuan Zuoxiang took this order and summoned the military generals, including the clan, to enter the Gou Chen Courtyard for discussion."

When Xia Pei heard this, he immediately let out a sigh of relief, and said nonchalantly, "That's it? I thought it was a big deal, so I stepped down!"

"Your Majesty!" Another minister shouted hurriedly, "Gou Chenzi is obviously my courtier of Dayuan, but he openly dares to set up a small court privately and bypass Your Majesty, is he still your Majesty the Son of Heaven?" Gou Chenzi's move is punishable. Please take a clear look at your majesty."

"If Your Majesty doesn't know about this matter, then in the future, this great abyss will be up to him."

When Xia Pei heard this, his eyebrows were raised, his face was extremely calm, he didn't take these words to heart at all, he just spread his hands, sorted out his cuffs, and didn't look at them with his eyes.

"It is a privilege granted by the previous king to convene the generals to discuss important matters, and I have no right to interfere. What's more, the war in the north is tight, and the Central Plains is empty, if he really has any objections, the 30,000 elite soldiers outside the city, as well as the 120,000 iron cavalry in Qingzhou, will come early to capture the palace and force me to abdicate, but he didn't."

"Gou Chenzi may just be an expedient measure, if Your Majesty doesn't prepare in advance, then he will follow the old path of Heyang Gong." Z.br>

"Shut up!" Xia Pei was furious.

The Duke of Heyang was the last emperor of the previous dynasty, and he was forced by Xia Pei to take the Zen throne, and he called himself the emperor to open the dynasty.

Now, these ministers below have openly compared themselves to the Duke of Heyang, how can they not make him angry? These words really touched the emperor's scales.

"Get out of here!" Xia Pei collected his emotions and did not blame them, "I know this matter in my heart, and I don't need you to remind me. You just have to do your part."

As he spoke, he casually picked up the tea bowl he was about to drink just now and threw it at them.

The bowl shattered and burst into a loud noise, and the three ministers were so frightened that they fell to the floor and lay on their stomachs trembling, not daring to say a word.

"Get out!"

Xia Pei drank cold again, and the three ministers hurriedly got up and walked out of the hall in a gloomy manner.

After the three ministers went out, Xia Pei leaned back on the soft couch, rubbed his temples, and had a headache.

The waiter on the side took a new pair of tea bowls, poured a bowl and handed it to the dragon case.

"Please dissipate your anger and take care of the dragon's body!"

summer

Pei raised his head suddenly, as if suddenly glaring at the attendant beside him.

"You, prepare for me, I want to leave the palace......

"No!" The chamberlain replied calmly, "Your Majesty is going to the Gouchen Courtyard?"

The corners of Xia Pei's mouth were lightly grinned, which seemed meaningful.

At the same time, in the main hall of the Gouchen Courtyard, there were people in official robes, who were waiting anxiously at the moment.

Although these people are military generals, they are all unarmed because they have just entered the court, except for this official robe, they have no foreign objects on their bodies, and they are unarmed. In the courtyard, all the shadow guards were wearing armor and swords at their waists, which made these generals who had seen the world a little weak.

"I also asked Brother Yingwei, I don't know what happened when Zhenguo Gong asked me to wait?"

At this time, a military general couldn't help but ask.

"That's right, please make it clear to the prince of Zhenguo, don't hang our appetite."

Everyone spoke one after another.

However, the shadow guard ignored them, and just looked ahead in silence, undisturbed by them.

Ying Yun, the commander of the shadow guard, looked at the full hall of generals, and seemed to be a little anxious in his heart, so he explained to the shadow wind around him, asking him to be optimistic about the other courtyard, and he stepped forward and hugged his fist at everyone.

"Generals, please forgive me. It must be a big deal for the military advisor to summon you here, and I ask you to be calm."

Suddenly, one of them, a sturdy middle-aged man, walked out and beckoned to Shadow Cloud, "You kid! I remember that you used to be a partial general under me, and now you have followed the military advisor and treated me as an outsider?"

Shadow Cloud leaned over, and the man muttered in his ear, "Go to the backyard and see, when the hell will the military advisor come out, can't you let us wait here?" You haven't had lunch yet!"

As soon as the words fell, he immediately understood, and immediately ordered the shadow guards to prepare the meal, and he took the opportunity to leave this place first.

When he left, he also instructed Shadow Wind to let him serve these generals well, and never slack off.

Just as Shadow Cloud was whirling with everyone, at the back door of the courtyard, a carriage stopped quietly.

Lu Zhaoyi got out of the carriage alone and rushed to the courtyard.

"Sir, would you like to summon Shadow Rain?" The shadow guard stationed at the back door hurriedly followed her and asked.

Her expression was solemn, but there was no trace of panic, only a heavier gasp.

"Okay. Call the Shadow Rain and the Shadow Cloud."

As she spoke, she walked briskly into the backyard bedroom and began to prepare to change her clothes.

It didn't take long for her to change her outfit.

Dressed in white, wearing a gauze scarf on his head, covering his face, only revealing his two eyes outside, and the clothes he wore were white plain clothes and a pair of cloth shoes, which was simple and elegant.

A moment later, Shadow Rain and Shadow Cloud entered the bedroom one after another.

"Sir, what happened today, such an urgent summoning, the subordinates have not been prepared."

As soon as he entered, Shadow Rain seemed to complain.

Lu Zhaoyi combed her hair and said, "You don't need to make any preparations today, I will lift half of the veil and expose my lips, you just need to stare at your lips and make a sound."

Shadow Yu was stunned, and then nodded.

Seeing her reaction, Lu Zhaoyi looked at Yingyun again, "You arrange the front hall first, the screen used this time should be pure black."

Pure black, better concealment, the previous screen, may be able to make people see a little figure, and pure black, is through the screen, even a little shadow can not be seen.

Just as they were about to rush to the front hall, the shadow guard's report made Lu Zhaoyi at a loss.

Because, Xia Pei's dragon chariot is about to arrive in the other courtyard.
