Lingyu still walked through the window unconsciously, returned to the office of Jinyiwei, and returned to the residence when it was late, and after a while, a little eunuch from Yuxiu Palace came to call him, saying that the concubine Niangniang had something to discuss with him, and Lingyu walked towards Yuxiu Palace with the little eunuch.

Lingyu walked into Yuxiu Palace, and saw Li Guifei sitting on the big bed waiting for him casually, Lingyu walked closer and said: "Guifei Niangniang, I heard that you have something to discuss with Lingyu, what's the matter!" Li Guifei took Lingyu's hand and shook her eyes frequently, and said coquettishly: "I can't call you over if it's okay, this palace can't miss you." Lingyu sat down beside her and said, "Of course, Lingyu also misses her mother." After speaking, he stretched out his hand to hug the concubine's willow waist, and kissed the mother's red lips on the square mouth, and kissed it for a long time before parting, the concubine stretched out her arm to hook Lingyu's neck, looked up at Lingyu, her face was charming, Chu Chu was moving, and said in a coquettish voice: "Lingyu, you are really willing to do anything for me." ”

Lingyu lowered her head and kissed her forehead, and said with a smile: "Niangniang, what do you say?" Li Guifei said in a coquettish voice: "Do people want you to say it yourself?" Lingyu kissed her red lips again and said: "They all said that they would rather die under the flowers, and be a ghost is also romantic." The concubine hurriedly printed his mouth with red lips, kissed for a while before parting and said: "This palace is reluctant to let you die, if you die, this palace is not fun to be a female emperor." After speaking, the two kissed passionately again, and were about to rain when they suddenly heard the death knell sounded, and both of them hurriedly sat up, and Lingyu said: "What's going on." ”

Concubine Li Guifei tidied up her clothes and said, "This is the death knell that only rang when an important person in the palace died." Lingyu tidied up her clothes and helped the concubine comb her hair, and said, "Who will die here?" Li Guifei said: "This palace doesn't know." As he spoke, the two got out of bed and walked towards the gate of Yuxiu Palace.

Before arriving at the palace gate, the palace maid Chun Tao ran in and shouted, "Niang Niang is not good." It's not good. The emperor is in control. The concubine reprimanded: "What are you panicking about." Something to say slowly. Chun Tao said slowly: "The emperor is in control." As soon as Li Guifei heard that her legs were weak and she was about to collapse to the ground, Lingyu picked her up, only to see her eyes blurred as if she was stupid. Lingyu secretly said: "Okay, you Li Guifei is really good at acting, and that son will accompany you to the end." ”

Lingyu hugged the concubine and shook it a few times and said, "Niangniang, wake up, Niangniang, wake up." Only then did the concubine open her eyes and cry: "The emperor is driving, and the palace will not have a good life." Lingyu, this palace depends on you, you must administer justice for this palace. Lingyu said: "Don't worry, Lingyu will definitely administer justice for Niangniang, I have to rush over to take a look now." Li Guifei took the initiative to go to the ground, and Lingyu put her on the ground. Li Guifei said: "You go first!, I'll come later." Lingyu said hello and left.

At this time, the palace was in chaos, and Lingyu quickly came to the camp of Jinyiwei and gave instructions to Jinyiwei to strictly guard their posts. Heighten vigilance to prevent people with bad intentions from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. Add expert defense to the archives, and report to me immediately if there is any change.

After Lingyu finished explaining, he went to Ximen Hu's residence, and Ximen Hu saw Lingyu and asked, "Master Zhang, is there something wrong in the palace?" Lingyu said: "The emperor has taken control, senior, how are you doing now." Ximen Hu said: "Thanks to your treatment, it is now intact, no, I think it is better than before." Lingyu said: "Okay, I'll arrange something for you to do now." Ximen Hu said: "Master Zhang, you can say it! Lingyu said: "It's not that serious, it's to protect the prince's safety, you put on the clothes of the brocade guard and follow me." ”

Ximen Hu got dressed and rushed towards the Xianxiu Palace with Lingyu, and when he arrived at the Xianxiu Palace, he saw the chief manager Liu Qi directing the palace maids and eunuchs to do things, and the emperor had been removed from the lotus platform and put on the big dragon bed to sleep. Many concubines have come, kneeling in front of the bed and crying.

Liu Qi saw Lingyu coming and reprimanded: "Master Zhang, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, why did you not come until now when such a big event happened." Lingyu said: "I just came back from running errands outside the palace." Liu Qi said: "I'm afraid I'm going to meet your love sister!" Lingyu said: "Manager Liu, now is not the time to chew the root of the tongue, it is reasonable to talk about it later, let's do the right thing first!"

Liu Qi said: "Master Zhang, what do you see." Lingyu said: "I don't understand this very well, so it's better to have the chief manager copy it!" Liu Qi said: "You don't understand, our family knows a lot about you, and you dare to put even my people in prison." ”

At this time, the prince and Princess Cuiyu came, and when they saw Lingyu arguing with Liu Qi, the prince stepped forward and said: "Chief Administrator, Lord Zhang, it is the time of the emperor's funeral, and the two of you are still arguing about personal grievances here. Lingyu said: "What the prince taught is that he is ashamed of his duties to the emperor. Liu Qi said: "For the prince's sake, I will let you go today." After saying that, I went to command the errand.

Lingyu said: "The lowly Zhang Lingyu has seen the prince. The prince said: "Excuse me, what the hell is going on, how can my father control it well." Lingyu said: "I don't know the specific situation, just ask Xiao Dezi." The prince said, "I'll ask." Lingyu said: "Prince, this is an extraordinary time, your safety is the most important, I call Ximen Hu to protect your safety." Ximen Hu came over and saluted: "The humble Ximen Tiger has seen the prince." The prince said: "I don't have to worry about the people you sent, let's go!"

After speaking, the prince walked towards the emperor's body, followed by Ximen Hu. The princess looked at Lingyu with a sad face, and Lingyu said in a secret voice: "Sister Yu, don't worry! I will protect you and the prince, and we will know tomorrow, so we don't have to meet secretly." The princess reluctantly walked towards the dragon bed.

The prince and the princess knelt in front of the dragon bed and wept and counted, and as soon as Li Guifei entered the Immortal Cultivation Palace, she cried sadly to the dragon bed, crying: "Your Majesty, why did you go, how can we let our orphans and widows live! Your Majesty, wake up!"

Several important ministers of the imperial court also rushed over one after another, Li Gelao, Fan Tongzhang, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Jia Rong, the new secretary of the Criminal Department, Dou Baoqing, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Zhao Gang, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, they were all together, as well as the prince and master Hong Xuefu, the left governor of the Inspectorate Yang Jingkang, the secretary of the Ministry of War Li Jinjiang, and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites Liu Quanli. They all went to the dragon bed to worship, and then persuaded the prince, Hong Xuefu said: "Prince, you have to mourn by the way, there are bigger things waiting for you to do." ”

Hong Xuefu and the crown prince, Yang Jingkang walked out of the Xianxiu Palace to the palace to discuss the matter of succeeding to the great treasure.

Liu Quanli, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Liu Qi (the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, the overseer of Dongchang and the head of the harem) discussed the emperor's funeral and the new emperor's accession to the throne.

Li Gelao, Fan Tongzhang, Dou Baoqing, Zhao Gang, Jia Rong and Li Guifei all returned to Yuxiu Palace to discuss countermeasures, Li Guifei said: "You go back immediately, inform our people, once the edict is read, we will immediately support and respond, we will use the overwhelming advantage of the majority to let the little prince ascend the throne, and your benefits will be indispensable when the time comes." Fan Tongzhang said: "How did Jinyiwei arrange it." Li Guifei said: "Don't worry, Jinyiwei is in the hands of Zhang Lingyu, and there should be no mistakes." Jia Rong said: "As long as Jinyiwei doesn't make mistakes, we can rest assured, because we are all literati, and it's okay to be noisy on the table, but it's not okay to fight." ”

Li Ge Lao said: "Don't worry, I have another plan, if it succeeds, it will be more convenient." "Fan Tongzhang said: 'Lord Wangge's plan can succeed, then we will go back first. After speaking, he and Jia Rong left, and Li Ge Lao and the concubine discussed in a whisper for a while and left. (To be continued......)
