After Song Qiang left, Rong Changan came to Fengzao Palace without stopping. There are a large number of troops guarding Fengzao Palace. At this time, the sky is already bright, and the torches of the troops have been extinguished, and thick black smoke is rising from them.
"Who dares to bring soldiers to the Queen Mother's bedroom!"
The leading general stopped Rong Chang'an, the knife was half drawn out, revealing a hideous light.
"I'm Rong Chang'an. I need to see the queen mother. Is the queen mother in the palace?"
Rong Chang'an originally thought that the queen mother had already left the palace in order to avoid this fight, and she would come back after killing Li Hai.
However, seeing so many guards in front of the palace gate, the queen mother should still be in the palace. Rong Chang'an couldn't help feeling admiration for the Queen Mother. An old woman can hold her ground in such a chaotic situation. Without a certain amount of vigor and courage, it is impossible for an old woman to do so.
The general's answer also confirmed Rong Chang'an's guess: "The queen mother is in the palace, but she won't see you."
"Why?" Rong Changan looked at the general sharply.
The corner of the general's mouth curled into a sinister smile: "Don't you know?"
Rong Changan smiled easily: "What do I know?"
"Until news comes from over there, I won't let anyone see the Queen Mother," said the general.
"Over there?" Rong Changan sneered twice, "You mean the Taimiao side? The so-called news should refer to the rebellion, right?"
The general's face suddenly became ugly: "I am ordered by the Queen Mother to guard here. Without the order of the Queen Mother, no one is allowed to enter!"
"Have you still not understood the situation?" Rong Changan said, "I went to the Taimiao with the emperor this morning, and now I have come back safely, what does this mean?"
The general's eyes widened suddenly: Rong Chang'an was able to retreat unscathed, which means that the plan of the Taimiao has failed! Now Rong Changan is here to wipe out the traitors!
"This..." the general was still skeptical.
Rong Changan took out the soldier talisman: "Look, this is the soldier talisman given to me by the emperor. He already knew that you were plotting rebellion and rebellion, so he asked me to send troops to suppress it. The Taimiao side has already surrendered. With you guys, you still want to resist the heavenly soldiers." ?"
The voice was over, and the guarding rebels immediately threw the weapons in their hands on the ground and kowtowed for mercy.
"May General Rong point out the way, we were also confused for a while and did stupid things, I hope the general spares our lives!"
"As long as they sincerely surrender, I will spare their lives."
Rong Changan walked into Fengzao Palace, the Queen Mother was not in the palace, a court lady said:
"The Queen Mother is walking the birds and drinking tea in the small garden!"
It's quite leisurely! I don't know what the empress dowager will look like when she hears that she plans to have a miscarriage
"Empress Dowager, I'm in a good mood today." Rong Changan walked through the Moon Gate, and sure enough, he saw the Empress Dowager sitting on a rattan chair, sipping tea while looking at the birds hanging on the plane tree.
The queen mother just heard the commotion outside, as if there was a quarrel, and was about to send a maid out to ask what happened, but unexpectedly she heard Rong Chang'an's voice.
"Why... how is it you?"
Didn't Rong Chang'an go to the Taimiao with the emperor? How could he be here
Seeing the Queen Mother's frown, Rong Chang'an smiled. Come over and tease the bird in the cage.
The empress dowager's old face flushed for a while: "Rong Chang'an, you are... a soldier in armor and entered my bedroom. What do you want to do?"
Rong Changan asked back: "Queen Mother, what are you trying to do by replacing the Imperial Forest Army and letting the outside army guard the palace gate?"
"I... I, bold! You, a mere queen, talk to me in such a tone, is there any distinction?" The queen mother stood up abruptly.
Rong Changan met her glare.
"Queen Mother, you have to let me speak clearly to make you feel comfortable, don't you?"
The queen mother said: "I don't understand what you mean."
"Your plan has failed!"
Like a bolt from the blue, the Empress Dowager's eyes suddenly turned black, and one of them couldn't hold on, and fell onto the wicker chair.
"Rong Chang'an, you... what did you say?"
Rong Changan said sternly: "The army you borrowed from your relatives has been confiscated by the Imperial Forest Army. Now you are alone."
"I don't believe it!" The queen mother said stubbornly, "This plan is perfect, who would leak the news?"
Rong Changan said: "If you want to blame, just blame a dog."
"Dog?" The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes, "Are you kidding me, Rong Changan?"
"When the emperor's car and I were approaching the Taimiao, we found a dog with horns growing on its head. According to the Five Elements, if a dog has horns, it will be a disaster for soldiers. The emperor was inspired by this and returned to the Minister's study. Rebel."
"Impossible! Impossible!" The look in the Queen Mother's eyes suddenly disappeared, "How could there be a dog to enlighten Li Hai? It's ridiculous!"
"It's probably God's will. It's God who doesn't want the emperor to die." In fact, it was Rong Changan who didn't want Li Hai to die. She wanted Li Hai to die after he had suffered so much.
The queen mother gritted her teeth and thought for a while, then suddenly shook her head, as if she had given up everything, lowered her head, clenched her head with her left hand, and spoke weakly.
"Since my plan has failed, then you can kill me. Don't take me to see that unfilial son. I feel disgusted even if I look at him."
How could Li Hai be her opponent! She was really unwilling to lose to Li Hai. This was all because of Rong Changan, if it wasn't for Rong Changan, her plan would not have failed!
Thinking about it, the Empress Dowager's eyes burst into anger, squinting at Chang'an.
It's her fault that she thought of Rong Chang'an a little too simply, and was always on guard against Rong Chang'an, but she was still caught by Rong Chang'an in the end.
Rong Changan understood the Queen Mother's heart from her eyes.
"Don't worry, Queen Mother, not only will I not hand you over to the emperor, but I will not kill you."
The queen mother couldn't understand Rong Chang'an's words: "Then what do you want to do to me? Are you going to send me to a remote place? Hmph, rather than doing this, I might as well die in the palace."
"I won't assign you either." Rong Changan said.
The queen mother was very annoyed by her consistent aloofness: "Rong Chang'an, are you playing tricks on me? I am an old woman, and you still make such jokes with me, don't you think it is cruel?"
Rong Changan poured a cup of tea for the Queen Mother and handed it to the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother didn't pick it up, Rong Changan trembled when he saw her hand.
"Queen Mother, you only need to do one thing, and I will keep you and the emperor safe and sound, just like before. The emperor will come to greet you every day, and I will come to greet you every day."
The Queen Mother's face wrinkled into a piece of old bark: "Rong Chang'an, stop beating around the bush and tell me what you plan to do!"
Rong Changan once again handed the teacup to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, I will tell you after you drink this cup of tea."
The queen mother observed Rong Chang'an sharply, and drank the tea.
"Rong Chang'an, speak quickly!" The Queen Mother was always arrogant, even in this situation, she still spoke domineeringly.
