"Yongzhou Taishou Lu Qin sent 50,000 pieces of grain."

"Song Shi sent 3,000 brocades and 500 good horses."

"Qianyang Taishou Zheng Anyu sent 5,000 gold, ten beauties, and a number of cattle and sheep."

A succession of news came to Sima Banru's camp, and then quickly spread from the camp to the Shu Han Palace.

These local officials who don't know the truth really know how to curry favor with the Sima family more than the other.

At this time, Sima Banru was drinking with Liu Yong and Empress Zhang in the hall of Jing'an Palace with Duan'er, and four palace maids dressed in Shu brocade sang and danced softly to the soothing music of the guqin.

Sima Banru was already slightly drunk, just grabbing Duan'er's little hand and rubbing it gently, but a pair of drunken eyes glanced at Empress Zhang, who also had a slightly burning face, from time to time.

"The concubine congratulates the prince on receiving so many congratulatory gifts in such a short period of time." Empress Zhang lost no time in spitting out witty words.

"The concubine should also congratulate the prince." Duan'er seemed to be dissatisfied with Sima Banru staring at Empress Zhang like this, turned over his hand, and pinched the back of Sima Banru's hand.

Sima Banru got carried away.

"This is all a good idea of the royal brother."

The crowd laughed.

Liu Yong didn't laugh, but he planned everything in his heart.

"A lot of supplies still need to be found in a safe place." Duan'er said.

"The terrain of my palace is vast, enough to hoard supplies, but I don't know if the prince can trust me." Liu Yong immediately said.

"It's all my own family, how can the prince not believe it." Empress Zhang spoke before Sima Banru spoke, "Put it here, the concubines and Your Majesty can also take care of it from time to time, and the prince can also come here from time to time, and the concubines should always prepare fine wine and drink with Your Majesty and the royal sister and his wife." ”

Sima Banru didn't care about the previous words, what he cared about was Empress Zhang's "standing wine" and "indulgence in drinking".

"The words of the imperial sister-in-law are exactly what the king intended, so there is Brother Lao." As he spoke, he patted Liu Yong's shoulder with one hand, like a brother he hadn't seen for many years.

At the end of the banquet, Sima Banru left the palace with the support of Duan'er, Wei Qing'er and others.

The next day, a steady stream of supplies arrived at the palace.

This huge building, which covers an area of three or four kilometers, soon became a huge warehouse for hoarding all kinds of materials, and Liu Yong personally commanded the demolition of many uninhabited palaces.

Despite this, many of the supplies could not be placed here, so they had to be piled up outside the palace walls.

After Sima Ban Confucianism woke up, he probably also noticed something, and sent three thousand Cao Wei soldiers to patrol day and night.

For this reason, Liu Yong just laughed secretly.

"Your Majesty, General Zhang Shao has secretly recruited nearly 10,000 military horses outside the city, and is stepping up training, and can cooperate with the peripheral forbidden army at any time to sneak attack the Cao Wei garrison."

At night, a Shu Han warrior in civilian clothes sneaked into the palace and reported to Liu Yonghui.

Liu Yong pondered for a long time.

"I expect that Sima Zhao and his son will never let Sima Banru mess around like this, the soldiers will come soon, go back and tell General Zhang Shao, this matter should not be rushed, just wait for my orders. I want to take this opportunity to purge the enemy from within. ”

"The villain understands." The samurai quickly left.

With these materials as a guarantee, Liu Yong is only waiting for an opportunity.

Cining Palace:

After having breakfast under the service of Ling'er and others, Empress Dowager Wu did not leave her bedroom, but sat alone on the phoenix couch.

"Since the Queen Mother returned to the palace, she has been frowning all day long, and if she continues like this, it may not be good for the phoenix body." Ling'er stood beside Empress Dowager Wu and said with concern.

"The mourning family has worked so hard, but in exchange for the destruction of Shu Han, the mourning family knows that they have no face to face the first emperor, and they are ashamed of my family Yong'er." Empress Dowager Wu sighed.

"Although Shu Han is dead, His Majesty has painstakingly formed a relationship with the Sima family, and it will not be wrong to come in the future, what else is the Queen Mother worried about?"

"Having said that, the mourning family couldn't guess the emperor's heart for a while, and they were afraid that he had other plans."

Ling'er's eyes rolled.

"What the Queen Mother said is reasonable, the slaves and maids have also realized that this matter is not simple, now, the entire harem is grain, grass, gold and silver, once the enemy enters the city again, I am afraid that the entire palace will be destroyed."

Empress Dowager Wu was probably worried about this matter, so she was silent.

After a while, Empress Dowager Wu suddenly asked, "Chen Ji hasn't been seen for two days, do you know where he is now?" ”

"The slave maid has never seen Lord Chen." Ling'er replied, however, Ling'er had a very thorough understanding of Empress Dowager Wu's thoughts, and immediately added, "The slave maid wants someone to go outside the palace and find him to come back as soon as possible to accompany the Empress Dowager." ”

Empress Dowager Wu smiled but did not answer.

Coming out of the Empress Dowager Wu's bedroom, Ling'er did not order someone to go outside the palace, but arranged for two palace maids to stay here, waiting for the Empress Dowager's orders at any time, and she looked bored and walked in the harem.

Bypassing the sight of many palace people, Ling'er finally came to the Yanghe Palace, which had been demolished for most of its time.

Due to the accumulation of various materials everywhere, only a few main buildings of the Yanghe Palace have not been demolished, and even the forest that grows in front of the palace has been cut down.

Still, it's a much more deserted place than the rest of the world.

Seeing that there was no one around, Ling'er bypassed a long stack of grain and grass and entered the palace.

Not far away, Ling'er stopped on a path that was already a little deserted, and listened attentively.

Behind an arch not far away, there was the sound of footsteps, and the people stopped and stopped, probably for fear of being discovered by others.

After a long time, one of Chen Ji's heads poked out of the arch.

"Master Chen, why do you need to hide like this? His Majesty has not been to the Queen Mother in the past few days, but the Queen Mother is very worried about Lord Chen. After Ling'er saw Chen Ji clearly, she got up and walked over and said.

Chen Ji just snorted and didn't answer.

"How is Li Gongzi's injury?" Ling'er asked.

"It's already good, but I didn't know that Miss Ling'er was coming, so I hid in the house alone and sighed." Chen Ji replied.

Ling'er wanted to say something, but she didn't.

Chen Ji observed Ling'er's expression.

"After the death of General Deng Ai, Sima Banru regarded us as Deng Ai's henchmen, and Liu Yong's servant wanted to get rid of the two of us at any time, although there was the protection of the Queen Mother, I am afraid that the two of us would not live long."

"Master Chen, don't be so pessimistic, it's better to go back with me to meet the Queen Mother first, and then make a good plan in the future." Ling'er said, "As for Li Gongzi, the slave maid will take the time to come over and take care of it." ”

Before they could finish their sentences, a face poked out from behind the arch again.

It's Li Yin.

"In order to take revenge, the villain did not hesitate to change his name to Li Yin, but he didn't want to be hurt by Liu Yong's house." Li Yin gritted his teeth and said.

"Your Majesty has Qi Zhen by his side, and the two of you can't get close." Ling'er said, "According to the slave's opinion, the two of you will go back to Cining Palace and choose the opportunity to move." Your Majesty has only been drinking with Sima Banru every day for the past few days, and he has no time to take care of you and others. ”

Chen Ji glanced at Li Yin.

Li Yin's fists clenched around him.

Suddenly, there was a "plopping" sound on the road that Ling'er had just walked, as if someone had accidentally fallen.

The three men, like frightened rabbits, hid behind the arch almost at the same time.
