Three Kingdoms: Ten Times Speed, Diao Chan Says I'm Too Fast

Outside the Vermilion Bird Gate of the Southern Palace.

Yang Ci and Yuan Wei walked out of the covered passageway side by side.

The two remained silent as they walked from Jiade Hall to Zhuque Gate.

Only after reaching the outside of the Vermilion Bird Gate did Yuan Wei stop and look back at the little eunuch who had followed him from the Jiade Hall all the way to the Vermilion Bird Gate.

"Yang Gong must have realized it too," Yuan Wei said in a low voice. "Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong are already anxious."

"That's why we had no choice but to send Duan Yu to Luoyang to quell the rebellion in the south."

Yang Ci squinted and nodded.

If we disregard character and stance...

Yang Ci still admired Duan Yu's abilities.

For someone of Duan Yu's age to possess such abilities, it was indeed rare in the Han Dynasty.

After Huangfu Song took office as the governor of Beidi Commandery last year, he sent back a lot of intelligence about Duan Yu from Liangzhou.

Judging from Duan Yu's various governance practices, he was indeed a qualified official.

They are capable, competent, and able to get things done.

But......

The problem is that Duan Yu is in contact with Zhang Rang and others.

The more capable a person is, the greater the threat they pose when they become a tool in the hands of eunuchs.

Just like Duan Jiong back then.

Therefore, the more outstanding Duan Yu's performance, the more worried Yang Ci became.

If Duan Yu is truly a mediocre talent, then Yang Ci has nothing to worry about.

“Since His Majesty has already issued an edict ordering Duan Yu to enter Luoyang, there is naturally nothing we can do to stop him,” Yang Ci said helplessly.

Yuan Wei smiled slightly and said, "Lord Yang, there's really no need to worry too much."

"This is the Central Plains, not places like Bingzhou or Liangzhou."

“Let’s see how Duan Yu behaves after he enters Luoyang this time.” Yuan Wei squinted like an old wolf and said, “If he is really determined to become the emperor’s disciple, then he will probably find it difficult to move an inch in the Central Plains.”

Yang Ci, with his back hunched, nodded.

Yes.

This is the Central Plains.

It's not some remote place like Bingzhou or Liangzhou.

To travel in the Central Plains without any support is to face countless difficulties.

...........

Changqiu Palace, Shaohua Hall.

The quiet and elegant bedroom, adorned with light gauze curtains, was exceptionally serene. He Lingsi lay on a soft couch by the window.

He was resting his head on his arms, enjoying a massage from his maid with his eyes closed.

"Miss."

A young palace maid, dressed in a light green palace maid's uniform, came before He Lingsi, then knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I just heard in Jiade Palace that His Majesty intends to summon the Governor of Liangzhou and the General Who Breaks the Qiang to Luoyang, and then go south to quell the rebellion."

Ok?

He Lingsi, who was resting with her eyes closed, immediately opened them, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise.

"What did you say?"

"Say it again?"

The palace maid quickly repeated what she had just said.

"Your Majesty, I just heard His Majesty say in the Jiade Palace that he is going to issue an edict to summon the Governor of Liangzhou to Luoyang."

"And it was an urgent dispatch, traveling at an alarming rate of 800 li."

Excited, He Lingsi immediately got up from the soft couch.

A look of anticipation appeared in her beautiful eyes.

"That heartless bastard, he's been gone for so long and hasn't even sent me a message."

"It's a good thing I still have him in mind."

After getting up, He Lingsi thought for a moment and then rose from the soft couch.

"go."

"Take my token and go to the Imperial Physician's residence to invite my sister here. Tell her that I miss her and want her to come to the palace for a while," He Lingsi said.

After the maid nodded in agreement, she took He Lingsi's token and left the palace.

...........

Before long, He Lingman, dressed in a long black dress and looking much fuller than last year, swayed her slender waist as she arrived at the side hall of Changqiu Palace.

In the side hall of Changqiu Palace, He Lingsi, dressed in a light gold dress with colorful phoenixes embroidered in gold and red thread on the cuffs and collar, and wearing a white gauze robe over it, was sitting in the main seat.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Empress."

After entering the main hall, He Lingman bowed to He Lingsi.

He Lingsi covered her red lips with a charming smile and chuckled softly, then waved to He Lingman and said:

"It's been so long, why are you being so polite, little sister?"

"You seem to have gained quite a bit of weight. Have you been cheating on me a lot?"

He Lingsi chuckled as she looked at He Lingman.

He Lingman walked to the left of He Lingsi and sat down behind the table where fine wine, pastries and fruits were laid out.

He poured himself a cup from a silver pot filled with fine wine.

"Sister, you're joking. After experiencing that kind of pleasure, do you really think you can still be interested in other men?"

He Lingman's words struck a chord with He Lingsi.

Recalling that tall and robust figure, He Lingsi suddenly felt as if countless tiny insects were crawling all over her body, making her feel unbearably uncomfortable.

"Why did you call your younger sister here, sister?" He Lingman asked, looking at He Lingsi.

"Of course it's a good thing."

He Lingsi had just finished speaking.

He Lingman, who was holding a wine glass, suddenly froze.

The way they looked at He Lingsi changed.

"He's coming?" He Lingman exclaimed in surprise.

He Lingsi raised an eyebrow and smiled, "My sister is indeed clever. I haven't even said anything yet, and you've already guessed it."

"Is he really coming?" He Lingman asked in disbelief.

He Lingsi nodded with a smile.

"His Majesty summoned him to Luoyang, preparing him to go to Yingchuan to suppress the rebellion."

"We should be able to reach Luoyang in a few days."

"I told my sister the news, and I'm sure she knows why."

He Lingsi's smile held a hidden meaning.

He Lingman naturally understood immediately.

Before Duan Yu left last time, she never expected that something like that would happen.

"Little sister, I'm telling you this because I want to tell you that you absolutely can't eat alone this time, or your big sister will get angry."
