Luo Shan was soaked with tears, in Yan Li's memory, Rong Chang'an had never cried like this before.
Yan Li didn't want to ask too many questions, perhaps the answer to the question had already been revealed from Rong Chang'an's sad and moist eyes.
In addition to hugging, it is a tight hug.
…
Fengzao Palace. Xu Feng has continuously boiled Su Hexiang medicinal wine for the queen mother for the past two days. The queen mother drank it very happily, always thinking that she would recover as soon as possible. It seemed that everything was going the way she wanted.
After three days of drinking, it started to rain in the evening, pattering down, covering the whole palace in a cold and dark atmosphere. A pair of silk shoes and clean socks quickly passed through the red wall, and the rain splashed from both feet fell on the trousers, and the running man didn't care. Da da da da, like a healthy horse, stepping on the water-milled bricks.
On the roof of Fengzao Palace, rainwater dripped down along the glazed tiles.
"Stop, where are you going, father-in-law?" A hulking imperial guard stretched out a simple knife, and stopped the panting eunuch, with a hint of doubt in his words.
The eunuch wiped off the rain on his face, and found that Fengzao Palace suddenly had a lot more imperial soldiers today, everyone was wearing Fanyang felt hats, holding simple knives in their hands, their faces were gloomy and cold, full of murderous intent.
"You guys are..." The eunuch didn't understand why there were so many guards in Fengzao Palace all of a sudden.
The Yulin Army who stopped the eunuch said: "According to the emperor's order, there have been important incidents in the palace these few days. In order to protect the queen mother, the guards of Fengzao palace will be strengthened. This is for the safety of the queen mother, so don't be too suspicious."
This is Rong Chang'an recruiting Lin Hai in the name of Li Hai, and asked Lin Hai to increase the defensive strength of the Imperial Forest Army of Fengzao Palace. Because Rong Chang'an calculated that these few days are critical times, the queen mother will abscond from the palace to meet with her relatives, and then attract the feudal town to start a rebellion. Therefore, Rong Chang'an had to act first and stop the empress dowager from escaping until she drank Su Hexiang and died.
The eunuch's heart skipped a beat: How could he escort the queen mother out with such a defense? There was a look of horror on his face.
"What's going on in the court? Are you really close to the emperor?" the eunuch questioned.
The Imperial Forest Army smiled confidently: "If the father-in-law disagrees, you can ask the emperor!"
How dare the eunuch ask Li Hai! Things are going in a direction that is unfavorable for him and the queen mother.
He gritted his teeth, with a smile on his face: "Since this is the case, you are also working hard for the Queen Mother. When the matter is over, the Queen Mother will definitely reward you!"
As he said that, he was about to enter Fengzao Palace, but the man used a simple knife to hold his lower abdomen.
"What are you doing?" The eunuch showed displeasure on his face, staring at a pair of bee eyes, with a cold light in his eyes, "Can't I even see the Queen Mother? I have served the Queen Mother for several years, don't you Do you suspect that I will kill the queen mother?"
The Imperial Forest Army smiled: "I don't suspect that you killed the Queen Mother, you should answer my question first."
The eunuch showed disdain on his face: "Where have I been? I'm going to pay for the Queen Mother's living expenses. Why, so you have to interrogate me?"
Unexpectedly, the other party asked: "What are the expenses?"
The eunuch angrily said, "This is what you should ask? What are you!" The eunuch finally couldn't help it anymore.
The Imperial Forest Army was unmoved, and sternly shouted: "This is the emperor's will. We are only acting according to the will. If something goes wrong, we can't afford it! Father-in-law, you should be honest."
"Bastard! I'll slap you first, so you don't know what to do!"
The eunuchs are used to being pretentious in front of the queen mother, and even the people around Li Hai didn't dare to provoke him in the past, but now that a small imperial army is so presumptuous, it really makes him angry.
The eunuch was about to make a move, but a loyal voice came from behind.
"Eunuch, just tell me the truth. Why do you want to beat someone? If you sit upright and stand upright, are you afraid of being asked? Could it be that Eunuch is not actually going out to buy things for the Queen Mother, but instead going out to do some shady things for himself?" ?”
The visitor was dressed in bright armor, with a sword on his waist, and three beautiful beards that were majestic and majestic. It was Lin Hai, the deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army, who came.
When the eunuch saw Lin Hai, his momentum lost, and he hurriedly called Lin Hai to ask: "Commander Lin is good!"
Lin Hai said solemnly: "Elder-in-law, you didn't come back until evening, where did you go? If the queen mother has something to look for you but can't find you, can you bear it?"
The eunuch lowered his head, his eyeballs were rolling, and the pupils were flickering.
"I... I really went to pay for the Queen Mother's backup."
Lin Haidao: "The people who need to prepare for the expenses will go, how can you go?"
The eunuch insisted that he was going to pay for the queen mother's preparations: "This is the queen mother's private matter, so I have to prepare it."
Speaking of this, Lin Hai is not easy to ask. As long as the Queen Mother is in Fengzao Palace, she is not afraid of flying away.
"Okay then!" Lin Hai smiled deeply, "Elder-in-law, hurry up and go in to serve the Empress Dowager. If the Empress Dowager gets angry, it will be bad."
The eunuch squinted at the Imperial Forest Army who stopped him just now, and said angrily: "Did you hear that? Even Commander Lin has to give me a little bit of trouble, how about you? Hmph, you will feel better in the future."
Angrily, he went into Fengzao Palace.
The Royal Forest Army said to Lin Hai: "Commander Lin, I see that your father-in-law is acting in a panic, there must be something wrong!"
Lin Hai raised his hand and signaled him not to say: "Everything is within the Queen's expectation. You have to be careful, even if a sparrow flies into Fengzao Palace, you must tell me. Now is the most critical period, so be careful Be more careful!"
All the imperial guards shouted together: "I obey my orders!"
The eunuch entered the door and let out a long sigh of relief. He was almost questioned about his whereabouts just now. He hurried to the Queen Mother's bedroom, and with a bang, he knocked his foot on the threshold. The queen mother who was drinking Suhexiang medicinal wine was startled, some of the medicinal soup in the bowl poured out and landed on the queen mother's clothes.
"Frizzled, why are you so anxious and flustered? You have been serving me for half your life, but you are still so unsteady and calm in doing things. How can you entrust important things to you in the future?"
Seeing the empress dowager's white eyes, the eunuch was also terrified.
"The empress dowager made atonement, the servant was nervous for a moment and disturbed the empress dowager, he is really guilty!"
The queen mother took a sip of Suhexiang wine: "That's all, that's all! Do you have anything to say?"
The eunuch was about to say: "Queen Mother, it's not good..." Suddenly he caught a glimpse of Xu Feng standing upright beside the Queen Mother with his hands crossed, he swallowed, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
"What's wrong?" The queen mother was only drinking Suhexiang wine, but she didn't notice that the eunuch's expression was wrong.
The eunuch muttered: "This..."
