Ah Lu raised his eyes to look at the sunset, which had completely submerged into the top of the Nine Nights Terrace, and his eyes were slightly pierced by the brilliant glow.

She stood outside the council chamber for most of the day, her legs and feet were tired, her mood was complicated, her excitement and apprehension alternated, but her expression was always calm, as if she had no interest in the discussion that was taking place in the hall, and the outcome was of little importance to her.

She had seen the departure of the King of Shu just now, from that still handsome face, she couldn't see any joy or anger at a short glance, and she missed Liu Shiniang very much at this moment, because if she was there, she might be able to analyze some developments, so she didn't have to stand here and be afraid.

For a moment, Alu's mind drifted a little.

She remembered her childhood, and her parents also worshipped her as a palm bead, but now she can't remember many details, including the faces of her parents, she only remembers that before she was sent to the court, her father's earnest teaching, she knew that there was a father who had been a eunuch in the deep palace, and she knew that the life of the whole family, as well as the rich life, were all given by Xiao Cui.

She also knows her father's mission, knows her own life, and will dedicate herself to this mission.

This is not up to her, because the kindness she received is too heavy, and her father said that it is necessary to go to the soup and go to the fire, and these eight words have always been deeply imprinted in her mind.

But for a time she was deeply confused, because she did not know whether what she was doing was meaningful, and as she grew older, she became more aware of the dangers that arose in the court, and this confusion grew more and more, and for a long time she was almost numb to pursue her mission.

Even panic.

She is not worried about her life and death, she is worried about His Royal Highness the King of Jin, who she and her family are loyal to, and they can't struggle out of the splendid cage even if they try their best, their strength seems to be too thin, and the vicious woman who is high up and stretches out a finger with a smile is their catastrophe.

She once thought that such fears were long and endless.

Until the queen mother's marriage, Liu Shiniang left the palace and returned home, and when she said goodbye to her for a short time, she seemed to understand her loneliness and helplessness, and said with a smile: "You have to believe." ”

I didn't elaborate on what I believed, but Ah Lu gained strength from that shallow smile and short words.

Mao Wei admonished the Empress Dowager to appoint the King of Shu as the Taiyuan Mu, this seemingly sudden event, so that Alu suddenly felt hope, Taiyuan Mansion, but the fief of the King of Jin, maybe this is what Eleven Niang made her believe, their strength is by no means weak, they have been moving towards the dawn, everything they have paid, is not in vain, the King of Jin is finally expected to get rid of the shackles, one day, when His Royal Highness returns to Chang'an, it has been turned upside down, no one will be able to threaten the life and death of His Royal Highness, trembling and frightened, Instead, it's the woman who seems to be in the hands of the world right now.

Ah Lu looked at the brilliant glow again and smiled slightly.

Suddenly, she heard a sound of broken footsteps, Ah Lu suddenly tensed her nerves, and all her thoughts stopped when she turned sideways, and she saw Gao Yuxiang walking with a solemn expression.

"Alu, hurry inside." hurriedly confessed, and Gao Yuxiang was about to raise his feet.

"But the Queen Mother is seeing the foreign ministers......"

The queen mother discussed politics with foreign ministers, and in most cases, the palace people were not allowed to hear about it.

"The Queen Mother has an order, I have to arrange it immediately, it's not appropriate that there is no one waiting for the order, who else is more suitable besides you?" Gao Yuxiang is not as unsmiling as Dou Fu'an, and he is still very kind to the palace people who believe in the Queen Mother, and at this time he comforted patiently: "It doesn't matter, you just stand in the corner of the curtain and secretly pay attention to it, I just walked away for a while, and I came back in a moment, just in case the Queen Mother has any orders, no one will pass it on." ”

Gao Yuxiang only thought that Ah Lu was worried that he would anger the queen mother if he was not careful at this juncture, and the palace people in the Penglai Palace all knew that the queen mother seemed to be kind, but when she was impetuous, she was very easy to get angry, as for the secret...... The things that are being discussed inside are not important, and there is no need to fortify Alu.

After he finished speaking, he did not dare to delay any longer, and walked away quickly.

Ah Lu's heart was beating fast, and she seemed to be witnessing something crucial.

After taking a deep breath, he walked lightly inside, and walked to the east side until he heard human voices, and stood silently on the side of the curtain.

The curtain is tied by a golden hook, looking into it from this angle, the woman on the upper seat frowned, and there are several ministers sitting at the bottom, because they are facing back, they can't see their looks, and in addition to the important ministers of the political hall, behind the small cases on both sides, He Zhan and Xu Xiuneng are working hard to write a book, I don't know if they are drafting an edict or recording the proposal.

The person who spoke was Yuan Xiangguo, and his words made Ah Lu's heart tremble.

Unexpectedly...... Why did Yuan Xiangguo advise the king of Jin to go to the domain?

"The minister thinks that although Taiyuan belongs to the domain of the King of Jin, the King of Jin has always been not involved in military politics, how can he take on heavy responsibilities?" - The person who opposed it was Huai Zhun, the prince of Lingnuma.

Ah Lu couldn't help but look at the Queen Mother, still frowning, and there was an unfathomable gloom in his eyes.

Yuan Dezhi did not argue with Wang Huaizhun on the basis of reason, Xie Raoping and Wei Yuanping remained silent, and the palace fell silent for a while.

There seemed to be a drum beating in Ah Lu's ears, and she knew it was the sound of her own heartbeat.

So much so that she almost ignored the Queen Mother's words, saying that today's deliberations would be here for the time being, and waved her hand to let the important ministers retire, but she left two living quarters alone, and ordered the palace people to hold the lamps.

Although the western sky was shining, it could not shine into this deep hall, and on the east side, the light was already a little dim.

Ah Lu pinched his palm, only to let his heartbeat decrease slightly, ordered the palace maid to hold the lamp, and signaled the idler to retreat, but she still stood at the curtain.

She heard the Queen Mother asking He and Xu: "What do you two think?" ”

Ah Lu's heart hung again, He Shishilang, he will definitely support His Highness to go to the domain, definitely!

But it was Xu Xiuneng who spoke first, he did not hesitate to refute Yuan Xiangguo's advice, supported Mao Wei's advice, he even accused His Royal Highness the King of Jin of being immoral and incompetent, if the King of Jin is appointed as the pastor of Taiyuan, it will undoubtedly mislead the country and the people.

But the people of Heshe remained silent until they were named by the Queen Mother again and asked for suggestions.

"Weichen thinks that Xue Sheren's advice is greatly conducive to the current situation in Jinshuo, so Weichen suggests that no matter who is Taiyuan Mu, Xue Sheren can be Taiyuan Mansion Shaoyin."

Ah Lu's palms were already sweating, why didn't the Heshe people directly seconded the King of Jin to go to the domain?

After a hurried look, she saw that Xu Sheren seemed to be stunned on the spot, wanting to refute, but as if he hesitated for some reason, and wanted to stop talking.

And the next state of affairs was even more unpredictable by Alu, because the Queen Mother suddenly stopped talking about the appointment of Taiyuan Mu, and inexplicably transferred Xu Xiuneng to his post, so that from now on, he will no longer wait for Penglai Palace, and will be promoted to the Ministry of Works, specifically responsible for kiln matters.

This seems to be a rehash of the old story, because of the Wen Qiao case, Xu Sheren's advice was meritorious, and the Queen Mother had already promised to commend her, but in Ah Lu's opinion, Xu Sheren's face was pale, and for some reason he was a little helpless.

Ah Lu didn't know that this promotion, which seemed to be a reward, was like a bolt from the blue for Xu Xiuneng.

Of course, he had already planned to transfer to the sixth department, but the first choice has always been the Ministry of Officials, and again it is also the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Works? is still in charge of kiln matters, for the likes of Chai Tori, it is a fat difference, but for Xu Xiuneng, a living houser, he is undoubtedly excluded from the discussion of politics and is completely marginalized.

He looked at He Zhan, he didn't understand why he still stepped on the trap, he was obviously extra cautious, and he didn't even accuse the King of Jin for his ill intentions, but the King of Daoming Jin was just immoral and incompetent, this is a well-known thing, why did he anger the Queen Mother?

But as wise as Xu Xiuneng, he has been extremely soberly aware that it is superfluous to say anything at this time, and even say too much wrong, and more deeds will be guilty!

The Queen Mother waved her hand and signaled that the last two could also retire, and it seemed that there was no conclusion on who would be responsible for Taiyuan Mu.

Ah Lu was hesitating whether to pass the meal, Gao Yuxiang returned to the chamber at this time, and no one signaled Ah Lu to avoid, so she still stayed here, but she regarded herself more and more as an ornament, lowered her eyes, and even locked her eyes on the square inch now.

But she heard the conversation between the Queen Mother and Gao Yuxiang.

"A good Yuan Dezhi, even admonished He Ye to go to the domain, and I don't know if he really drew a line with the King of Shu, everyone understands that King Yu is sick, Taiyuan Mu can only choose among the two kings of Shu and Jin, He Ye is obviously useless, and the King of Shu is what everyone expects! That Xu Xiuneng, in vain I appreciate him very much, and think that he is really loyal to me, yesterday asked for his opinion, he didn't say a word, today when he heard Yuan Dezhi propose He Ye, he was so anxious to refute it bluntly, although he did not directly recommend the appointment of the king of Shu, and I can't hear the meaning of the words? ”

"How did Xu Sheren know that his secret dealings with the King of Shu had been mastered by the Queen Mother? The Queen Mother knows everything, where will they be blinded by the past. ”

"The King of Shu and Mao Wei secretly colluded, this time he didn't shirk it, and he told me what to say about his mission, it seems that as soon as Zongzhengtang was abolished, he was really in a hurry! There is also Wang Huaizhun, he is enough to represent the world, it can be seen that in the hearts of the family, loyalty to orthodoxy is unshakable. ”

"Wang Xiangguo is indeed a little pedantic, but he is already old, and he has complained about illness several times, so it should be difficult to be a minister of the society."

"Petron, you use these two words properly, but now in the court, how can there be more than one or two pedantic people?"

So how does the Queen Mother decide? The king of Shu must not indulge, but unfortunately the king of Jin is really unbearable. ”

Alu's heartbeat was heavy again.
