"Cough cough cough..." Hua Qingxue coughed violently again.
Li Jingnan looked at her worriedly and said, "Why don't I ask the imperial doctor to take a look at you? Look at your face, it's getting worse and worse..."
Before Li Jingnan finished speaking, Hua Qingxue interrupted him: "I am a prisoner now. Have you ever seen any prisoner who asked the imperial doctor to see a doctor?"
Hua Qingxue gave him a blank look.
"But I'm really worried about you..." Li Jingnan frowned, his eyes full of worry.
"Your Majesty, it's time for you to go back."
At this time, a eunuch came in. Li Jingnan was surrounded by the Queen Mother's eyeliners. He glanced at him with gloomy eyes. The eunuch was frightened by him, but he had to bite the bullet and remind him: "Your Majesty... you It’s really time to go back.”
"I know, you don't need to push me!" Li Jingnan had anger on his face. He was really fed up with this eunuch.
"Okay, go back quickly. I'm fine. Don't worry about me." Hua Qingxue touched his head and comforted him. Li Jingnan's situation was not very good either, so she didn't want Li Jingnan to be distracted by herself.
"Then I'll go back first. Hua Qingxue, you must take care of yourself." Li Jingnan looked at her worriedly, fearing that something might happen to Hua Qingxue.
"Okay, I get it, I'm not a child." Hua Qingxue twitched the corners of her lips and forced a smile.
Li Jingnan glanced at her again, turned around and left reluctantly.
…
"Has the Emperor been up to anything lately?" the Queen Mother asked Zi Wan while sitting in front of the dressing table.
She looked at herself in the bronze mirror. Although she was well-maintained, there were still some wrinkles on her face.
The Queen Mother frowned and stroked her face, suddenly afraid that one day she would grow old and become ugly.
"Recently, in addition to visiting Hua Qingxue in Tianlao every day, the Emperor also studies in the Imperial Study Room and reviews memorials." Aster reported to Zheng Shuwen truthfully.
"My prince has finally grown up. Finally, all my hard work has not been wasted." Zheng Shuwen felt a lot of comfort when she heard that Li Jingnan had been so honest and peaceful recently.
"Queen Mother, you are treating the Emperor like this..." Zi Wan hesitated before speaking.
In fact, she knew very well that all the words and deeds of the Queen Mother seemed to be for the emperor, but in fact they were just to satisfy her own selfish desires. Although Ziyuan had been deliberately provoking it, she also felt strange that this woman was not afraid of being completely cold in the future. The emperor's heart
"Shut up, I'm doing this for his own good." Zheng Shuwen scolded Zi Wan sharply.
Zi Wan touched Zheng Shuwen's cold eyes and quickly shut up and lowered her head.
Zheng Shuwen gave her a cold look and said nothing. Although she was unhappy, Li Jingnan's recent behavior made her very happy.
Nowadays, most of the ministers in the DPRK are leaning towards Zheng Shuwen, so they often bypass Li Jingnan and then report some matters to Zheng Shuwen.
"The Queen Mother, I heard from Mr. Li that the war on the border is imminent." Zi Wan suddenly thought of the news she got today and diverted the Queen Mother's attention in a timely manner.
When Zheng Shuwen heard about the fighting at the border, her face darkened.
No matter what, she will keep her position as Queen Mother and the rights in her hands.
"There is Fu Tingye at the border, let him defend the enemy at the border first." Zheng Shuwen had already thought about what she would do if Fu Tingye was defeated.
Zi Wan stopped talking. She lowered her eyes. Her heart was complicated and she didn't dare to speak lightly, so she had to swallow it quietly.
When doing these things recently, she has become less and less aware of whether she is right or wrong...
…
Li Jingnan sat on the chair with a solemn expression.
He looked at the list in his hand and thought about it for an unknown amount of time. He must eliminate the power of the Queen Mother as soon as possible, and then rescue Hua Qingxue from the sky prison.
The door creaked open.
"I wonder what the emperor called me to do?" Chen Yuan still looked carefree.
Li Jingnan glanced at him with a frown, handed him the list in his hand, and said, "Take a look at this list."
Chen Yuan took it and looked at it. On the list were some ministers of the DPRK, and these ministers had always been dissatisfied with Zheng Shuwen.
"You are..." Chen Yuan understood, but he was still a little surprised.
"I want to rescue Hua Qingxue as soon as possible, so I plan ahead." Li Jingnan looked at him solemnly, his eyes resolute, "No matter what, win over these ministers to me."
"Wei Chen accepts the order. Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will give you news about this matter as soon as possible." Chen Yuan cupped his hands and replied. Since Li Jingnan has advanced his plan, he has to act quickly.
"Here are the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel... But the most important thing is the Prime Minister Zuo!" Li Jingnan squinted his eyes. If he can win over the Prime Minister Zuo, then he will definitely win over the Queen Mother.
Chen Yuan knew a little about this left prime minister. He was an old man with a lot of knowledge. He couldn't tell which side he was partial to, but...
Chen Yuan's eyes flashed.
"The noise must not be too loud, so that the Queen Mother does not notice it like last time." Li Jingnan said.
"Yes, I understand." Chen Yuan nodded.
"Go down and do it as soon as possible." Li Jingnan was obviously anxious.
Chen Yuan put the list in his sleeve and quietly exited the imperial study.
Now that there are many informants, he cannot easily alert others, so what should he do
Chen Yuan was thinking this, and out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the little tail following him. The corner of his lips curled up, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, and he thought to himself: What a loyal dog.
Chen Yuan did not expose that person. He crossed his hands and held his head, then whistled and walked aimlessly.
The little tail behind him kept following him, moving cautiously, for fear that Chen Yuan would find out that he was following him.
Chen Yuan kept swaying left and right, which made the other party a little confused and felt something was wrong. However, looking at Chen Yuan's leisurely look, he gave up his doubts and continued to follow him.
Chen Yuan walked and walked, and even went around the path from time to time, having a great time.
Suddenly, Chen Yuan's figure disappeared around the corner, and the little tail quickly chased after him.
"Where is the person?" He looked around, but Chen Yuan was nowhere to be seen.
Standing on the wall, Chen Yuan's mouth curled up, his eyes flashed with mischief, and he said, "Are you looking for me?"
The man was startled by Chen Yuan. He quickly turned around and saw Chen Yuan jumping down from the wall. He was shocked!
"Chen, Mr. Chen, why are you here?" His voice was trembling, revealing his guilt.
"Follow me, is it fun?" Chen Yuan leaned against the wall with a careless smile on his face.
The little eunuch's expression changed immediately when he heard this. He didn't expect Chen Yuan to notice it, so he quickly covered it up and said, "What are you talking about, Mr. Chen? I don't understand. I want to go to the imperial dining room."
"Don't understand? Do you really don't understand or pretend you don't understand?" Chen Yuan looked at him with interest.
"Master Chen, I have to go to the imperial dining room, so I'll leave first." The young eunuch didn't want to tangle with him anymore, so he turned around and left.
Chen Yuan smiled and said: "Let's go? Who told you to leave? Did I say let you go?"
"... Master Chen, if I am delayed, I will be punished. Master Chen, please don't embarrass me. I really don't understand what Master Chen is saying." The little eunuch looked embarrassed, as if he was really worried that he would be punished. .
"I found that your tracking skills are terrible. I didn't expect that you are good at acting. Since you like acting so much, I don't mind having fun with you." After Chen Yuan finished speaking, he walked towards him step by step with a smile on his face. Weird.
"What, what are you going to do? Master Chen?" The little eunuch looked at Chen Yuan who was pressing closer and quickly backed away.
He suddenly stepped on a stone, his feet slipped in panic, and he fell onto his back!
"Hahahaha! Look at you like this, you really look like the turtle I raised! Hahahaha..." Chen Yuan burst into laughter.
A hint of gloom flashed in the little eunuch's eyes, and he got up, gritting his teeth secretly.
"Master Chen, why do you have to tease this villain?" The little eunuch looked at Chen Yuan with a lot of resentment towards Chen Yuan in his eyes.
"Teasing?" Chen Yuan curled his lips, "Then why are you following me?"
Chen Yuan was smiling, but his smiling eyes were cold.
"Master Chen, I didn't follow you." The little eunuch lowered his head, still refusing to admit the fact that he was following Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan didn't take it seriously when he told him to be so tough-talking.
"Let me guess, the emperor sent you here, right?" Chen Yuan flexed his muscles and said with a smile, "In that case, let's go to the emperor."
As Chen Yuan spoke, he went over to grab his collar. Seeing this, the little eunuch dodged and avoided Chen Yuan's attacking hand.
"A guilty conscience?" Chen Yuan couldn't help but sneered when he saw what he had done just now.
"Now that Mr. Chen knows it, I will stop talking nonsense. Yes, the emperor sent me here!" The little eunuch's narrow eyes had a hint of sinisterness. He suddenly took out the knife in his sleeve, "Mr. Chen, you can Don’t blame the villain!”
"Your Majesty? Why did Your Majesty send you to follow me?" Chen Yuan stared at him, as if he wanted to see something.
The man in front of him was obviously not sent by the emperor. After all, no one knew about his relationship with the emperor.
"Master Chen, have you ever heard a sentence?" The little eunuch looked at Chen Yuan, and a strange smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"What words?" Chen Yuan asked.
"Curiosity killed the cat!" After saying this, the little eunuch stabbed Chen Yuan with a knife.
"You don't know what you're capable of, and you still want to show off in front of me?" Chen Yuan turned around and dodged the knife in the little eunuch's hand.
The eunuch was immediately furious at Chen Yuan's actions and began to attack Chen Yuan crazily!
There was a trace of order in the random moves. After Chen Yuan fought with him for several rounds, he was secretly shocked: This little eunuch is anything but simple!
Chen Yuan stopped playing, and his moves were immediately fierce. He clamped the eunuch's neck and asked in a cold voice: "Who sent you here?"
The little eunuch smiled, and the expression on his face suddenly changed.
not good!
This little eunuch wants to bite his tongue and commit suicide!
Chen Yuan wanted to stop him, but was a step too late.
A mouthful of blood spurted out from the young eunuch's mouth, and immediately he lost his breath.
Chen Yuan frowned. This man is willing to die to frame the emperor, he is really cruel.
He stood up and looked at the corpse lying on the ground, his eyes flashing brightly and dimly, and he vaguely understood something in his heart.
