"Didn't the imperial concubine ask me to discuss things today? I'm not feeling well, and I've already asked Master Chu to tell you. I was lying on the bed, and I couldn't get over it, so I asked Xiaonianzi to invite you over. What is the matter with the imperial concubine?" Yan Shijie spoke calmly and without any tension.
"Oh," Zi Yan coughed, her eyes lit up, "Actually, I just want to tell Uncle Huang about the matter of regent."
Yan Shijie: "The imperial concubine must be dissatisfied with my handling of government affairs?"
"How dare, how dare!" Zi Yan laughed, "The emperor personally ordered the uncle to come to be regent, how dare I say that I am not satisfied. It's just that many ministers in the court are now talking about it."
Xiaonianzi brought tea, a cup for Yan Shijie and a cup for Ziyan. Zi Yan stared closely at Xiao Nianzi putting the tea on the table in front of her, she was about to pick it up and drink it, when a trace of panic flashed across her face, she put down the tea cup again, and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.
At this time, everyone is suffering from red eyes and wants to kill each other, so Ziyan dare not drink this tea.
"What are the comments in the court?" Yan Shijie had never heard of any minister who criticized his regent.
Zi Yan looked closely at Yan Shijie: "Some ministers said that the emperor's uncle is a relative of the emperor, so isn't the head of the country? Why don't you also give some power to the head of the country?" Zi Yan flicked his clothes, "Uncle Huang, First of all, let me declare that this is what other ministers said, not me, Ziyan, talking nonsense."
It turned out that Zi Yan no longer concealed it, and clearly wanted to fight for power with him!
Yan Shijie laughed: "This is the emperor's intention. I am in charge of what I do. If the emperor had handed over all the power to Mr. Guozhang, I would have nothing to say."
"That's what you say," Zi Yan said, "but, as the emperor's uncle, you should take the overall situation into consideration and distribute some power to the head of the country to make him feel more balanced. Although Queen Chu is sick in bed now, we should not In this way, her family was neglected. Uncle Huang, don't you think so?"
It sounds like Yan Shijie is a power-hungry person. Yan Shijie was a little unhappy.
"Master Chu holds the military power, which is also power. How can you say that the emperor doesn't give him some? Whoever said this must have other intentions in his stomach, trying to separate me and the head of the country, and mess up the court. Concubine Ziyan Tell him his name, and I will call him to confront him now!"
"If what this person says is right, you will listen to it; if what he said is wrong, Uncle Huang can ignore it, so why be angry." Zi Yan said.
Yan Shijie patted the table: "If this kind of villain is not cleared from the court, he will definitely bring disaster to the country!"
Zi Yan raised his eyebrows, and said in a gloomy voice: "What if I said these words? Will the emperor also take me into prison?"
Yan Shijie's face darkened: She really wants to have a showdown with me today! If I don't agree to hand over the power, she and Chu Lin will definitely arrest me.
The atmosphere was extremely tense, even if a needle fell on the ground, it could still be heard.
After being silent for a while, Zi Yanyu scooped up the teacup on the table with her hand, and was about to bring it to her mouth to taste it, when suddenly her little hand shook, bang! The teacup with the tea fell on the water-milled brick and shattered all over the floor.
Ma Yu got the signal, pulled out the dagger from his sleeve, and rushed to Yan Shijie with one stride, widening his ferocious eyes: "Yan Shijie, die!"
Between lightning and flint, there was a bang, Ma Yu's mouth numb, and the dagger fell to the ground.
"Who is it?" Ma Yu's face was full of pain, and he opened his eyes wide.
On one side of the screen, there stood a beautiful lady, dressed in white gauze, with a red jacket lining, holding a soft sword as thin as a bamboo leaf in her right hand, the tip of the soft sword was shaking tremblingly. And following behind her was Chu Lin.
"It's you!" Zi Yan and Ma Yu almost slipped out in unison.
Ziyan's thin lips twitched, her eyes were scarlet, and her complexion was pale: "I knew it, you're not dead yet! Xue'er is actually you, Rong Changan!"
"You know now, it's too late!" Rong Chang'an pointed his sword at Ma Yu, but looked at Zi Yan, "Today is the time for us to settle our old grudges."
In terms of martial arts, ten Ma Yus are no match for Rong Changan. Zi Yan should have been captured without a fight, but she still wanted to fight to the death.
"Ma Yu, if we kill Yan Shijie, we won't be considered a loser!"
Yan Shijie died, and Ziyan could put the blame on Rong Changan and Eunuch Lu, so she still held the initiative.
Ma Yu naturally knew this trick, he kicked with his toe, and the dagger returned to his hand, threw it hard, and flew towards Yan Shijie.
This was unexpected by many people, who would have thought that Zi Yan and Ma Yu would die together!
Seeing that the dagger was pierced into Yan Shijie's heart, it seemed that he couldn't stop it. But all of this is under the control of Rong Changan, she has been fighting with Ziyan for so many years, doesn't it mean that she still doesn't understand Ziyan's inner thoughts!
Ma Yu shot very quickly, but it was not as fast as Rong Changan's soft sword.
The soft sword and dagger collided in the air, sparks were stirred up, and the dagger was bounced back. I saw Ma Yu's frightened eyes widened, bark! A stream of blood came out. In Ma Yu's staring eyes, apart from horror, there was also surprise. He never thought that he would die by his own knife.
A trace of regret flashed in Rong Changan's eyes, she didn't want to kill Ma Yu.
Plop, Ma Yu landed on both knees first, and looked at Rong Changan in disbelief: "Death... in the hands of a woman, I am not... not reconciled." In my hands, I have nothing to complain about!"
However, Ma Yuyan didn't mean it. When he completely fell to the ground, his eyes were open, and he died with regret.
The tip of Rong Chang'an's soft sword flicked, pointing at Ziyan, Ziyan's face was pale, leaning tightly against the huge pillar.
"Can I say today, have you already lost to me?" Rong Changan approached Zi Yan step by step.
Zi Yan gulped down her saliva: "No, you can still say this! You... don't come near me. I still have a card in my hand. As long as you wait a little longer, you will know that I still have a card with you." fight."
Rong Changan sneered: "You still have cards in your hand, let's see if they are worth it or not?"
Zi Yan subconsciously looked at the sky outside: "Li Hao has already gone to the Northern Army Camp to gather troops. The current Northern Army Camp is already under the control of Mr. Chu, and will never listen to you again. One hundred thousand Northern Army How much time do you think it will take to attack the capital? Hey, Rong Changan, do you think my card is worth enough?"
Rong Changan's sword froze in the air, no longer approaching Ziyan. If the Northern Army really came to attack the capital, then the capital would not last long, but...
"You said that the generals of the Northern Army are already Master Chu's confidantes, but now Master Chu has turned his back on the dark." Rong Changan looked at Chu Lin with a questioning look, "Master Chu, am I right?"
"Lord Chu, we are on the same boat. We haven't lost yet. As long as you climb up and shout, all the Northern Army will follow your arrangement."
Ziyan said loudly, "Do you think she and Yan Shijie will let you go if you take refuge in Rong Changan? You are too naive! For the things you have done, such as putting Lin Hai and Huangfuzan under house arrest, Rong Changan will let you go? We are the two people with stakes!"
Chu Lin hesitated and scratched the back of his head.
"Lord Chu, you also know that the emperor is kind. If you really turn your back on the dark, he will definitely not punish you. I can assure you that the emperor will only deprive you of your military power and official position at most. However, if you continue to be stubborn, wait Yours will be punished by a thousand cuts. Your Chu family is in the south of the Yangtze River, and you have been cast aside by all generations. The choice you make is up to you."
