In the sleeping hall, the emperor's terrified shouts were all heard.

He closed his eyes tightly, and his voice was hoarse, as if he had seen some terrible scene in a dream, and he kept chanting.

"Don't come here! Don't come here!"

"Father, it is you who are partial! It is you who are partial to the emperor! I have no choice but to!"

"Chu Jianming! You are not as good as me! You are hypocritical, you are just relying on the Lu family, those good names are all fake! You are not as good as me!"

"Don't come here! I am the Son of Heaven now! I am the Emperor, and God blesses me!"

With a cry of surprise, the emperor finally woke up from his nightmare.

Seeing someone in the hall, a murderous intent flashed across his eyes very quickly.

"Emperor!" The Empress Dowager came in in a hurry, and seeing his bloodshot eyes and exhausted appearance, she sighed deeply, "You're talking nonsense again."

Hearing this, the emperor's body trembled, no matter how well he disguised himself, he couldn't help showing a frightened expression at this moment.

"Don't worry." The empress dowager immediately comforted the son Mo Ruomu, "Those ministers have all been stopped outside the hall, no one heard."

The emperor's face was full of impatience: "Why are they here again?"

He has been troubled by nightmares all night these days, and he has no leisure to deal with those ministers.

"Let's see you later." The Queen Mother persuaded with a rare gentle look, "Now General Pei has assembled a lot of ministers waiting outside the palace, saying that I will harm you! If you don't see them again, these rumors It will only spread more and more widely, and there is no telling when Pei Anlin will lead troops to Qingjun's side!"

The empress dowager's words meant that she wanted the emperor to suspect that she had gone to Pei's house.

However, the emperor didn't have the time to delve into the deep meaning of her words, but waved his hands weakly: "The queen mother is right, go and invite General Pei and a few ministers to come in, and I have a few words to explain."

The empress dowager's face froze, she glanced at the emperor with hatred, and said coldly to Li Dehai who was beside her: "Didn't you hear what the emperor said? Hurry up and let them in!"

"Yes!" Li Dehai hurriedly bowed, stepped back outside the hall, and then turned around.

Seeing Li Dehai, Pei Anlin stepped forward quickly, his eyes were inquiring about Li Dehai: "Does the emperor have something to convey?"

"The emperor said, please come in." Li Dehai replied in a low voice, "But the emperor has just woken up, and his body is still a little weak. If there is nothing important, please make a long story short!"

"This is nature! This is nature!" Song Shangshu slowed down and responded repeatedly.

The queen mother heard Song Shangshu's voice in the hall, and she waved her sleeves in disgust: "Song Shangshu is a man who has evil intentions, and in just a few days, he has colluded with Pei Anlin."

But the emperor who had always respected her was silent and did not echo her words.

For a moment, the queen mother's heart became cold.

At this time, Pei Anlin led a large number of ministers into the hall, stood aggressively in a few rows, and bowed to the emperor and empress dowager.

No matter how loathed Song Shangshu and Pei Anlin were, the Queen Mother had no choice but to put on a smirk.

But what Pei Anlin said next made her smile freeze on her face.

"The harem is not allowed to engage in politics. What the ministers and the emperor are going to discuss next is state affairs. Please avoid the empress dowager."

Pei Anlin lowered his head slightly, neither humble nor overbearing, and said loudly.

The Empress Dowager's hands were tightly clenched into a ball, and the exquisite and sharp armor sank deep into her palms, leaving a deep imprint.

She suddenly showed a smile: "General Pei is thoughtful, and the Ai family admires him."

"The empress dowager praised you absurdly, and I also think about the country of Chu. After all, the dynasty that allowed the harem to interfere in politics has already been destroyed. If our great Chu wants to last forever, we have to be careful." Pei Anlin's expression remained unchanged, and he said respectfully, " The empress dowager is old, so it is better to provide for her retirement in a stable way."

The queen mother was so angry that her face was contorted, but she could only let out a cold snort, and then left the Tai Chi Hall angrily.

As soon as she left, Song Shangshu immediately stepped forward and greeted the emperor, "The emperor has been resting in the bedroom for the past few days, is there any other discomfort? I see that your complexion is not very good, why don't you ask Xiao Yuanzheng to come over and feel your pulse?" ?”

Song Shangshu's flattery made the emperor quite useful, but the emperor didn't take his proposal seriously, but said: "Xiao Yuanzheng's medical skills are ordinary, and he can't cure my headache."

"Where is Daoist Chen? Go ask Daoist Chen to come here! Only he can cure my illness!"

When Pei Anlin heard the words, he knelt heavily on the ground with a "plop": "Your Majesty, Daoist Chen is just a Taoist priest, how can his medical skills compare to that of Xiao Yuanzheng, who was born in a family of Xinglin? I'd better invite Xiao Yuanzheng to come over and have a look. Best policy!"

"Is General Pei questioning me?" The emperor showed displeasure, "I know my body well, the medicine Xiao Yuan is giving is not working at all, it has been more than ten days, and my headache still hasn't been relieved! Daoist Chen, whom you call the Demon Dao, can restore me to normal with just one elixir!"

"Li Dehai, go and invite Daoist Chen over here!"

However, Li Dehai did not act immediately, but knelt at his feet, trembling and said: "Chen Daochang is in the prison, I'm afraid...I'm afraid I can't bring him here."

"Chen Daochang is the person I trust the most, who put him in the prison without my permission?" The emperor's face was flushed red, like a mad cow, and his red eyes stared at all the ministers in the hall.

Pei Anlin knelt on the ground, and said seriously, "The emperor suddenly fell into a coma that day, and the ministers and all the ministers suspected that there was something wrong with the elixir, so they put Chen Daochang into the dungeon, and made plans after finding clues. "

"Then is there evidence now?" The emperor gritted his teeth and pointed at Pei Anlin, with a ferocious look in his eyes, as if he was about to eat Pei Anlin alive in the next moment.

Pei Anlin lowered his head and remained silent.

After a long time, the emperor sneered: "Since you couldn't find evidence, why didn't you release Daochang Chen? Do you know that Daochang Chen was sent by heaven to assist me? How could the elixir he gave go wrong?"

The emperor's face was ferocious, and his fierce eyes swept over many ministers.

The ministers who were stared at by him knelt down one after another, but a few shouted out in fear of death: "I am definitely not an accomplice of General Pei! Back then, I strongly opposed the imprisonment of Taoist Chen!"

As soon as he spoke, many ministers echoed him.

The emperor stared at them for a long time, making them flustered all the time, then the emperor smiled coldly and pointed at them: "Put these people into the sky prison and let Dali Temple have a good trial!"

They froze in place, unable to believe what they had heard.

"I have been in a coma for several days, and it is very likely that I was poisoned. There is nothing wrong with General Pei's actions, but you..." The emperor glanced at them sadly, "It's this time, and you still want to flatter yourself !"

"The emperor is wise!" Pei Anlin shouted immediately.

Song Shangshu followed closely behind, leading other ministers to echo: "The emperor is wise!"

The emperor smiled, thinking that everything was under control.

Pei Anlin lowered his head, keenly feeling that the cold killing intent above his head had disappeared. He knew that he had completely won the emperor's trust today.

……

At the same time, in the endless dense forest.

Jin Huan looked at the group of people who appeared around him. He was familiar with all the faces, and he quickly shouted: "Guard Yue! Help!"

The two camps were only a few meters apart. As soon as he heard Jin Huan's almost broken voice, Yue Rong rushed over immediately.

Behind Yue Rong, more than a dozen strong guards rushed over together.

It's just that a dozen or so people are still not enough to see the dozens of people in front of them and the other dozens of figures that can be glimpsed in the dense forest.

Jin Huan's heart seemed to be clenched tightly by a pair of big hands, and he could hardly breathe.

At this time, he regretted it very much. If he had known that this group of people would come after him so early, he would have bought dozens of more guards instead of saving some money so that there were only a few guards around him. The thigh I just hugged is not as powerful as these pursuers.

Yue Rong stood in front of Jin Huan with a knife in his hand, looking at these bloody pursuers, he glanced suspiciously at Jin Huan: "Who are you offending?"

"I... I don't know!" Jin Huan's legs were trembling, and he whispered, "I'm just an ordinary businessman! I escaped from the Western Regions and finally brought back a batch of goods. I just provoked this group of people! They chased me all the way from Beiduhu Mansion to here!"

"That's asking for money?" Yue Rong frowned, "But judging by their appearance, they don't seem to be asking for money."

The housekeeper at the side whispered: "This is the horse bandit outside the pass! Although thanks to the blessing of Changning county lord, the bandits near Yuezhou have been wiped out, but the horse bandits outside the pass are still rampant without control. We came back from the Western Regions, thinking about hunting treasures and killing people!"

The horse bandit on the opposite side heard their discussion, patted the back of the knife, and laughed arrogantly: "Since you know it, why don't you hurry up and offer it up! If you had learned something earlier, we wouldn't have chased all the way here from outside the pass!"

This is a dense forest with no people in the area for tens of miles, and no matter how loud their movements are, they will not attract the government, so they are very arrogant, and they don't pay attention to these people at all.

Only the sudden appearance of Yue Rong and others made them feel a little threatened.

"Okay, quick battle!" A voice came from behind them, "Take away the treasure earlier, and we don't have to scramble in the yellow sand outside the pass! At that time, I will take you to Jiangnan to visit flower houses and drink Flower wine!"

As soon as these words came out, the morale of this group of horse bandits rose again.

Jin Huan's white and fat face was only blue, and he whispered to Yue Rong: "Guard Yue, you better go! They are coming after me. Although you are powerful, they are many and powerful, and I am afraid they cannot be defeated. They! With my treasures, they will not take care of you!"

Yue Rong smiled coldly, and suddenly walked to the left.

"It's still unknown who will win the battle, Master Jin don't need to panic."

The guards behind Yue Rong also moved to the sides, and a man in a long cloak came out. His tall figure gave people a great sense of oppression.
