Chapter 23
What does his last sentence mean?
In Lou Jinhuan's bewilderment, there was another throbbing. She stared at Yan Ruqing's figure disappearing through the rear window, feeling lost.
[Congratulations to the host, the target's favorability has been increased by ten, and the current total favorability is seventy, victory is just around the corner~]
001 circled excitedly in her mind.
Lou Jinhuan pursed her lips, looked down at her palm, and after a long silence suddenly asked: [001, what is the love between a man and a woman? 】
001: [Does the host not know? 】
He scratched his head in a daze, 【Didn't you still speak logically before? 】
Lou Jinhuan fell suspiciously silent.
[Stupid system, she is fooling you! 】
[Hahahahahaha, poor system, I thought I was bound to a veteran in the love field, but I didn't know that the other party was an innocent little white flower]
[Correct the front, it's the overlord flower of pure love! 】
001 also recovered from this silence, and he asked incredulously: [Host, did you have no emotional experience before? 】
Lou Jinhuan asked back: [Do you think I look like someone? 】
001: […]
Lou Jinhuan: […]
Double the silence and doubt life.
However, there is not so much time for them to discuss this fatal issue right now, there was a sound of hurried and orderly footsteps in the court, Lou Jinhuan restrained his emotions, and walked out from behind the screen as if nothing had happened.
Du Ruo looked at her, nodded, opened the door and went out, "The empress dowager is taking a bath, what's the matter?"
Lou Jinhuan grabbed the coat and quickly put it on, pricking up his ears to listen.
"The humble official was ordered by His Majesty to protect the Empress Dowager. There was turmoil in southern Xinjiang. Ministers entered the palace overnight to discuss countermeasures. People came and went. His Majesty was worried that some people with evil intentions would sneak in. Therefore, he ordered Jinyiwei and Yulin Army to strengthen the guards in the palace. ,in case."
Lou Jinhuan narrowed his eyes, wondering if Yan Ruqing had gone out?
Suddenly strengthening the defense, was it unintentional or intentional?
Her eyes flickered slightly, she casually picked up a hairpin to tie up her hair, and just walked out.
"If the Ai family knows about it, they will do as His Majesty said."
Lou Jinhuan condescended to look at the people at the bottom of the steps, they were wearing the clothes of the Imperial Forest Army.
The leading young general cupped his hands at Lou Jinhuan, "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your understanding."
As soon as he raised his hand, the imperial guards armed with swords immediately dispersed and surrounded the entire bedroom.
Lou Jinhuan took a deep look at him and turned back.
Du Ruo followed behind and closed the door, and asked in a low voice: "Empress Dowager, what does Your Majesty mean by this? People from southern Xinjiang didn't break into the palace, so why are there so many people looking at you?"
Lou Jinhuan pursed his lips and sat down at the table, "Looking at me? He's just looking at me."
Du Ruo was puzzled: "Huh?"
"Yan Ruqing is leaving soon. I am the only one in this palace. Since the little emperor wants to seize power, why would he let this opportunity go and let me go?"
Du Ruo was stunned: "So he wanted to—"
She palmed the knife and wiped it on her neck.
Lou Jinhuan shook his head: "He dare not, after all, standing behind me is the Duke of Fuguo, General Dingbian, and the troops from Northern Xinjiang. If he attacks me, he will be criticized by the world. At best, put me under house arrest."
"It just so happened that my brother returned to the capital, I was under house arrest, and my brother was confined in the capital, so the northern army would not dare to act rashly, so the little emperor can concentrate on dealing with Yan Ruqing."
"This……"
Du Ruo was startled, "Isn't the prince in danger?"
Lou Jinhuan took a sip of the tea and said slowly, "Don't worry, it's still unknown who will be the sword and who will be the fish."
……
That night, the imperial city was brightly lit, and the guards of the Royal Forest Army were in full formation, and everyone who came and went had to undergo strict interrogation.
Yan Ruqing had just stepped out of the palace with her front foot, and her back foot went directly to the main entrance and swaggered in.
There was already a commotion in the imperial study room, and the little emperor was sitting on the main seat, his eyes were heavy.
"Your Majesty, the Regent is asking to see you." Lu Bai entered the door to report, and the quarrel stopped abruptly.
The ministers looked at each other with subtle expressions.
The little emperor narrowed his eyes and nodded: "Let him in."
The next moment, Yan Ruqing came quickly, and the tall figure cast a shadow as soon as he came, and the whole imperial study room seemed to be darkened.
The little emperor looked up at him, and the regent cupped his hands and said, "I have seen Your Majesty."
When the regent saw the emperor, he didn't have to give a big gift. Originally, the little emperor didn't think it was a big deal, but during this time he found Yan Ruqing more and more distasteful.
"The emperor's uncle is free."
The little emperor raised his hand falsely, "Uncle Emperor must have received the news."
The other ministers immediately looked at Yan Ruqing with burning eyes.
Yan Ruqing straightened up and said calmly: "Yes, as the chief general of the border, if something happens in southern Xinjiang, of course I will send someone to notify me as soon as possible."
"Oh, then I wonder how the regent plans to deal with it? You are still injured, so you may not be able to go to the battlefield, right? The main general is not here, who will take over?"
General Liu, who failed to please him last time, stood up again, like a dog smelling of meat.
Yan Ruqing glanced at him, although his face was still a little sickly pale, but his expression was as proud as ever, and he stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Go ahead."
General Liu: "?"
"How can I?" He retorted with a beard and a stare.
Yan Ruqing raised her eyebrows: "Aren't you a general? Can you lead troops to fight?"
General Liu: "Of course I will!"
"Then why don't you go?"
"I……"
General Liu was speechless when asked, and the ministers behind him coughed, and the prime minister came out and said in a strange tone: "The frontier war is coming soon, and the regent is still free to argue with the ministers. It seems that he is not too concerned."
Yan Ruqing turned around and looked at him, "So, should I hang myself with a rope now?"
He sneered: "Don't forget, who told me to go back to the capital? If I was sitting on the frontier, how would it be the current situation?"
It was the first emperor who called him back, who dare to say that the first emperor is not?
The imperial study room fell into an awkward silence.
The little emperor coughed lightly, breaking the scene, and said in a warm voice: "Uncle Huang is injured, please give me a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yan Ruqing sat down on the chair unceremoniously, and the group of ministers began to quarrel again over the candidate for the chief general. He listened without saying a word, but it didn't take long for the topic to turn to him again.
"According to my opinion, the chief general of the frontier should be brought in by the regent. After all, he has rich experience and prestige. It would be perfect for him to lead the army."
Someone suggested, and someone immediately objected, "He has not been cleared of the suspicion of colluding with southern Xinjiang, how dare he trust the lives of 20 soldiers in the frontier and the lives of the people in the three cities? If there is an emergency, who can afford it?"
"Then let him issue a military order. If you can't repel the southern border, come and see him!"
As soon as this remark came out, he became quiet again.
Yan Ruqing smiled suddenly, saying so much, is it just laying the groundwork for this sentence?
Sure enough, the next moment all the officials looked at the little emperor, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Test the waters today!Ask for votes, boys!Don't save articles these days, let's rush!
