Yan Shijie was actually lying down, but he was half asleep and half awake because he was thinking about state affairs in his heart. Hearing voices outside the room, he opened his eyes and stretched his muscles.
"Who's out there?"
The eunuch stuck out his tongue, thinking: It's not good, I woke up the emperor's uncle!
"It's Eunuch Lu, who said he has something important to report to you."
Ever since Yan Li accepted Yan Li's commission, he has been sleepy all night, and he is afraid that he will not be up to the job, so how dare he take a break! Today he was in poor health and had to lie down. Hearing that Eunuch Lu had something urgent to do, he straightened up his clothes immediately.
"Take him to the octagonal glazed pavilion, I'll be right there!"
Yan Shijie took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and came to the octagonal glazed pavilion.
"Eunuch Lu, why are you panicking?" He asked from a distance before entering the pavilion.
After Yan Shijie walked in, Eunuch Lu pointed to Rong Changan who was beside him and said, "Uncle Emperor, a friend of yours has something to tell you."
Yan Shijie noticed a veiled woman next to Eunuch Lu, and looked her up and down: "Dare to call her by your name? Where did you meet me before?"
Rong Changan took off his hat and veil, revealed Lushan's true face, smiled all over the country, and made a graceful gift to Yan Shijie: "Uncle Emperor, can't we forget about Chang'an?"
Yan Shijie took a step back: "You...you are a human or a ghost!"
"Uncle, she is really Queen Rong!" Eunuch Lu said beside him.
Yan Shijie was stunned for a long while before asking: "Didn't you say you have already gone? Why did you come back to the palace?"
"Uncle Emperor, you have been kept in the dark! Concubine Xue is actually Empress Rong, and Empress Rong is actually Concubine Xue. It is Empress Rong who disguised herself as Concubine Xue."
After listening to Xiaonianzi's words, Yan Shijie finally understood.
"Uncle Huang, I am looking for you now for important matters. I will explain to you about other matters in the future." Rong Changan asked Yan Shijie to sit down and told Xiao Nianzi, "Go outside and wait. If someone comes to look for Uncle Huang, you mean Uncle Huang has something important to do and cannot see guests."
"Yes!" Xiaonianzi knew that the matter was important, and it was not easy to listen to it, so he went outside to watch out.
Rong Changan then told about Chu Lin, Ziyan and Li Hao's conspiracy to rebel. Yan Shijie was stunned for a long time, his mouth opened for a long time, but he couldn't close it.
"Are you telling the truth?" Yan Shijie came to his senses, "No wonder Chu Lin looked strange when he came to see me today. He always stares at me with blank eyes on weekdays, but today he is uncharacteristically smiling at me."
"Chu Lin wants Uncle Huang to see Ziyan, right?" Rong Changan asked.
Yan Shijie looked at her with surprised eyes again: "How do you know?"
Rong Chang'an revealed Zi Yan's plan: "Chu Lin led you to the Jiao Palace, but luckily you didn't go, otherwise, Uncle Huang would have died."
Yan Shijie's body stiffened: "Why... why did he die?"
"Zi Yan has ambushed the knife and axe in the Jiao Palace long ago, under the name of throwing lamps, as long as you go, you will never return."
Yan Shijie still had lingering fears at this moment, and couldn't help wiping his face. If it wasn't for a temporary illness, how could he still be alive! In the future, he really wants to burn two more sticks of incense and recite a few more scriptures in front of the Buddha.
Eunuch Lu also had lingering fears. In fact, Ziyan was always thinking of trying to win him over, and he was also a little moved, but when he thought of the former Eunuch Fan, he tried to keep a distance from Ziyan with the lessons learned from the past.
Seeing that both Eunuch Lu and Yan Shijie were silent, Rong Changan suggested: "Uncle Emperor, now the Emperor is still far away in Tianchi Country, thousands of miles away, and you have the final say on everything about the country. Today Ziyan is going to rebel, can you let the country It's up to you and me to turn the corner."
Yan Shijie is a clean person, with more than elegance but not enough intelligence. When encountering such a situation, his mind is in a mess and he doesn't know what's going on.
"Queen Rong, what to do, I'll listen to you!"
With Uncle Huang's guarantee, Rong Chang'an became more confident in bringing down Zi Yan and Li Hao's forces.
"Zi Yan wants to lure you over and kill you with one blow. Can't we turn the other way around and invite her over to capture her?" Rong Changan confidently looked at Eunuch Lu and then at Yan Shijie.
Then, she whispered a few words in Yan Shijie's ear, and Yan Shijie nodded in agreement.
"Young man!" Yan Shijie cleared his voice and shouted to the outside world.
Xiao Nianzi ran in without moving his feet: "Uncle Emperor, Concubine, Manager Lu, what orders do you have?"
Yan Shijie took out a jade token and handed it to Xiaonianzi: "Take this token and go to Jiao Palace to invite Concubine Ziyan, and say that I have important state affairs to discuss, so you must come."
When Xiaonianzi was about to leave, Rong Chang'an specially warned: "Zi Yan is very treacherous, and he will probably keep interrogating you. You have to answer carefully, and you must never reveal the news that I am with the emperor uncle."
"Don't worry, queen, even if she puts a knife on my neck, I won't say anything." Xiaonianzi said confidently.
At this time, Zi Yan and Li Hao were in the Pepper Palace, poking their heads out from time to time to look at the sun in the sky, wishing they could pull the sun down the mountain! When the hunger is rumbling, there will be a maidservant to bring the meal.
While eating, Zi Yan asked casually: "When you came to deliver the food, did you meet anyone on the road?"
What Zi Yan said reminded the maidservant: "The others didn't see it, but they saw Master Chu's car driving to Fengwu Palace. There are no people there now. I don't know what Master Chu is doing there."
Ziyan narrowed her eyes vigilantly, and exchanged glances with Li Hao.
"Are you sure it's Master Chu's car?"
The maid said: "I wasn't sure whose car it was, but I only found out later that Master Chu poked his head out of the car."
Ziyan, Li Hao, and Ma Yu stopped serving food, and fell into doubts.
"It's okay, you go out first!" Zi Yan said to the servant girl.
The servant girl exited the dormitory.
Ma Yu snorted coldly: "We didn't ask him to enter the palace, but he went to Fengwu Palace. I don't know what to do!"
Li Hao's face was solemn and his eyes were deep: "It must not be easy for Chu Lin to go to Fengwu Palace." A wave of ripples started in his eyes, "Concubine, tell me, will he have other plans to betray us? To the emperor?"
Just as he was talking, another person came to report outside: "Your concubine, a father-in-law is here to invite your concubine!"
When the matter came to this point, Li Hao, Zi Yan, and Ma Yu had to be careful about every disturbance, and not be careless.
"Who is going to invite the imperial concubine?" Ma Yu pinched her chin and thought.
"Chu Lin?" Li Hao looked at Zi Yan.
Zi Yan licked her teeth, rolled her eyes: "Whoever invites me, I will know when I go out. Let's eat first, it's not far from dusk, and it's time to invite the emperor."
Zi Yan came out, seeing that it was a young man, she sharply examined him, and asked coldly: "Young man, who will invite me?"
"The emperor wants to invite the imperial concubine to discuss state affairs in the minister's study." Xiaonianzi lowered his head as much as possible, so as not to let Zi Yan see that he was flustered.
Ziyan's eyes flickered, and the corners of her mouth curled up: "Young man, did the emperor tell you what made me go there?"
As far as Zi Yan knew, the young man didn't serve Yan Shijie, so how could he spread the word for Yan Shijie
"The emperor said it was a major military event, but I don't know what it is." Xiao Nianzi remembered Rong Chang'an's words and kept calm and did not panic. "The imperial concubine also knows that I am just a little eunuch who gets up every day to clean the palace. Uncle also saw that I was diligent, so he called me to serve him temporarily. But that's all, he never mentioned the government affairs to me."
Xiaonianzi's words just answered Ziyan's question.
"Little Nianzi, raise your head, don't be nervous in front of me." Zi Yan looked at Xiao Nianzi sharply like a knife, "How was Uncle Huang's health when you came?"
