"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

With the shouts of the palace maids guarding the door, Liu Yong and Empress Zhang in the room woke up from their shock at the same time, and invariably pulled up the quilt on Liu Yong's body.

The sudden appearance of Empress Dowager Wu made the two feel an invisible pressure, which was different for Empress Zhang and Liu Yong.

"The concubine greets the queen mother." When Empress Zhang opened the curtain, she had completely calmed down.

Empress Dowager Wu walked in accompanied by Ling'er.

She didn't rush to see Liu Yong's injury, but stared at Empress Zhang's slightly drooping little face.

"Huang'er's injury is fine, he just needs to recuperate, and Qi'er should not come here late at night to visit the doctor in the future."

Qi'er is the small character of Queen Zhang, and this name is only known to a few people in the harem.

"The concubine remembers the teachings of the queen mother." Empress Zhang's expression did not change, but her tone became a little heavier, "The concubine is just asking Your Majesty for Mr. Huang's poisoning today." ”

"This matter is already known to the mourning family, and it has nothing to do with Qi'er." Empress Dowager Wu didn't wait for Empress Zhang to finish speaking, waved her hand and said, "The mourning family has asked Chen Ji to go to Mr. Huang's mansion to make arrangements, and this matter should not be made public, so as not to cause panic in the palace." ”

"Queen Mother Shengming." Empress Zhang said.

Liu Yong didn't speak, but there was a puzzled smile on the corner of his mouth.

The purpose of both women is obvious, and for him, the real internal and external troubles have just begun.

The night of the palace can hardly be called a night.

In front of the rows of palaces, lanterns of different colors are hung high, and the eunuchs on duty sit in front of their respective palace gates, and there are also groups of eunuchs and palace maids gathered in one place. From time to time, there were warriors of the imperial forbidden army passing by, and the armor on their bodies reflected the dim light, looking extremely heroic and strong.

As the night deepened, the palace fell silent.

Jing'an Palace, but Empress Zhang has not rested.

She's waiting.

The red lantern drifted along the long corridor to the door of the dormitory.

"Although the slave maid did not approach His Majesty's sickbed, she heard the quarrel between Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, and Your Majesty seemed to have broken something." Duan'er wiped the sweat from her face and said to Empress Zhang, "It's just that it's too far away to hear the content clearly." But according to the slave maid who later inquired about the palace maid sister who served His Majesty, it seemed to be because of Mr. Huang's matter. The reason is because of Chen Ji and Ling'er, it seems that the Queen Mother was blamed by His Majesty, and even the hosta on the top of her head was broken. ”

Empress Zhang listened quietly, thoughtfully.

"Niang Niang Chitose, but I suspect that Mr. Huang's death is ......," Duan'er wanted to speak and stopped.

Empress Zhang smiled faintly.

"Sister Duan'er has worked hard, this matter can only be known by you and my sister, and you can't tell outsiders."

"The slave knows." Duan'er leaned forward and almost touched Empress Zhang's body, "The slave maid has also found that Your Majesty is different from the past few days, but it is ......"

"You girl." Queen Zhang didn't wait for Duan'er to finish speaking, she had already deliberately put on a straight face and interrupted her, "Dare to be because this palace is too arrogant to you on weekdays, and you want to learn to be so unruly?" How can you even dare to speculate about the identity of His Majesty? Beware that the palace cut your tongue first, and then drove you out of the palace. ”

Duan'er stuck out his tongue and pretended to be frightened.

"If the queen is willing to leave Duan'er, Duan'er will leave the palace tomorrow. simply went out of the city to vote for Cao Wei, maybe he could be favored by some general. ”

"Little girl, think beautifully." Empress Zhang said with a smile.

Duan'er is the dowry girl who followed Queen Zhang into the palace together, although she is a few years younger than Queen Zhang, but her scheming is quite admired by Queen Zhang.

It can be said that under the cover of the identity of master and servant, the two have become "girlfriends" in the palace who can talk about everything.

Yongtai Palace:

Liu Yong still maintained his original posture, sitting on the dragon couch, his eyes bloodshot.

The palace maid had urged him to rest several times, but seeing that he was silent, she didn't dare to be too hasty.

It's about to dawn.

"General Qi Fang is back."

As the voice of the eunuch on duty guarding the door landed, Liu Yong, who was on the dragon couch, couldn't care about the pain and struggled to get up. The maid ran in and grabbed one of his arms hard.

"General Qi Fang is not allowed to trespass." The eunuch's voice rang out again.

Qi Fang, whose armor was splattered with blood droplets, carried a bulging coarse cloth bag on his shoulder, and despite the eunuch's obstruction, he staggered in with some steps.

"Weichen has fulfilled his mission and has come to reply to His Majesty." Qi Fang put the bag on the ground and wanted to bow down, but his body shook and he sat down on the ground.

"Quickly help General Qi to get up and give him a seat." Liu Yong instructed the eunuchs who followed later.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qi Fang sat down in a chair with the help of the eunuch.

"General Qi is wounded?" The eunuch saw at a glance that the armor on Qi Fang's left rib had torn marks, and the blood stains around him had turned purple, and the strong smell of blood went straight into his nostrils, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

"It's nothing if it's a small injury, just go back to the barracks and follow the army for diagnosis and treatment." Qi Fang said, but he kept panting.

Liu Yong felt pain in his heart, and slapped Qi Fang's shoulder hard.

Qi Fang knew how heavy this beat was.

"Wechen was afraid that his subordinates would make a mistake, but he was shocked by Sima Banru's house, so he had to go to the enemy in person, and I hope that His Majesty will forgive Weichen for the crime of disobeying the order."

Liu Yong nodded.

"Open." He commanded the eunuchs.

The bag was opened.

The palace maid who was holding Liu Yong let out a cry of surprise.

In the bag, there was a woman.

To be exact, a young woman wearing only a close-fitting nightdress.

The woman's hair was spread out, covering most of her face, and her round shoulders were exposed, probably from being held hostage to break into the camp, and there was still a bruise the size of an egg yolk on it.

When she was helped up by the eunuch, her head was lowered, and the rise and fall of her chest was faintly visible.

"Prepare clothes quickly and send them to the bedroom in the back, don't be lazy." Liu Yong said to the palace maids and eunuchs, "No one is allowed to approach without my will." If this woman is lost, only the two of you are asking. ”

"Yes." The eunuch and the palace maid had not yet broken free from their surprise, but they did not dare to ask more, so they hurriedly lifted the woman up and walked to the back.

"General Qi has made great achievements for my Shu Han, and after returning to the camp, he can send someone to write to Sima Banru, saying that this matter is the general's own opinion, and I don't know anything about it. I expect that this guy cares about the life of the concubine, and will never dare to enter the army easily. Seeing the eunuch and the palace maid leaving, Liu Yong said to Qi Fang.

"It's all up to Your Majesty's clever plan." Qi Fang said, thought for a while, and asked, "Can you force Sima Banru and Deng Ai to withdraw from the army in the letter?" ”

Liu Yong shook his head.

"This matter is not in a hurry, I have asked Deng Yi to draft a surrender letter, once it is sent to his coach Deng Ai, he will not be easily coerced by Sima Ban Confucian, and when there is a gap between the two, I can succeed in one blow."

"Wechen respectfully obeys His Majesty's holy will." Qi Fang stood up and replied.

Seeing Qi Fang leave, Liu Yong let out a sigh of relief.

Sima forbade Confucianism to take concubines in the army, which was really the biggest mistake, there was such a greedy person in Cao Wei's army, how could Deng Ai return to heaven?
