The warm pavilion was silent, needles could be heard, and the air seemed to be under a heavy pressure, which made Tan Ying maintain a stiff kneeling posture, not daring to move her eyes, staring at the bright and clean gold brick floor.

Binglun's breathing gradually changed from fast to shallow, and after a long time, he said, "Who did you listen to?"

"Linghu Rong mentioned it to Weichen twice in private." He thought about it a few times, and said, "He was very worried when he said it, and he seemed to remind me that if it wasn't for today's matter, I would never dare to mention it to the Queen Mother. "

Linghu Rong was originally the magistrate of Longgu County. He was exquisite and tactful. When he was in the Guangle Palace that year, he flattered and flattered Huo Ze in every possible way. Unexpectedly, he became proud of his official career and was transferred to Beijing after a year. Later, Huo Song was in charge of the Criminal Department, and he followed him into the Criminal Department.He is used to please the brothers of the Huo family, and they have very close contacts. It is natural that such words come from him.

"You did the right thing." Binglun sat down slowly, and said: "It's just that you, Linghu Rong, such disrespectful words must never be spread outside."

Although it was a warning, the tone was quite calm, and Tan Ying felt relieved: "Yes."

"It's been a long night, and you've worked hard, so just step back."

"Then the queen mother will rest earlier, and the minister will leave."

Gao Xian was waiting outside, although he heard the sound, he did not dare to enter because of the warning from Binglun. After Tan Ying left, Fang came in to clean up the debris on the ground. Wait for the Queen Mother to rest."

"I'm going to Xiefang Palace."

"Now?" Gao Xian was stunned: "At this hour..." Seeing Binglun looking at him, his heart trembled: "Yes, the slave will go to prepare now."

In the general's mansion, the courtyard where Huo Ze lived was brightly lit. Several famous doctors in the capital were invited overnight to examine Huo Ze's injuries. Someone had already packed up a few houses for them to live in.

Huo Mu came back from the palace early at this time, Huo Ze was beaten, his face was disgraced, Huo Rin, his life and death enemy, also came to visit, feeling ashamed and angry beyond description, he just closed his eyes and pretended to sleep facing inside.

Huo Song waited for the doctor to go out, turned around and told the housekeeper Huo Youzhong: "My wife is not in good health these days, don't let her know about the second master's affairs for now, so as not to worry her, understand?"

"Don't worry, sir, I understand."

Only father and son were left in the room, and Huo Song's eyes showed viciousness: "Break one palm, can this matter be offset?"

"What do you say?"

Before Huo Song could answer, Huo Ze couldn't bear it any longer, and suddenly turned around: "Father, I am your son, don't you just let me suffer such shame and humiliation?!"

"You still have the guts to say it!" Huo Mu looked at him, out of anger, and shouted, "It's not enough to accomplish anything, but it's more than a failure! How much trouble has caused me to raise you, a worthless bastard! From today on, you I just recuperate at home, and I don’t have to go back to the palace anymore.”

Seeing that he was angry, Huo Ze didn't dare to speak back, and lay down resentfully.Huo Song said: "Father..."

"Don't talk about it! His subordinates are still merciful, and if he exerts more strength, his arm and leg will be useless!" Huo Mu said with a gloomy face: "Not everything in this world has to be done. Be reasonable, but not everything can be unreasonable. What he did makes me ashamed to pursue this matter again!"

Huo Song looked at his father's face and stopped making a sound. Huo Rin stood aside and remained silent. Huo Mu said, "Third brother, what are you thinking?"

Huo Lin said slowly: "The Royal Guard is a hard bone."

He never talked much, so he stopped after saying a word.Huo Mu recalled the situation just a few moments ago, and he was deeply afraid. The words Tao Zhijian said while holding the sword, "According to the order of the empress dowager, I specially apologize to the general", nodded and said: "It is true that you should not be underestimated, but no matter how hard the bones are, , we will be able to swallow it sooner or later." With a smile: "Binglun is indeed my daughter!"

Huo Song frowned and said, "But she clutches the amulet tightly and refuses to hand it over."

"She has her own mind."

Huo Song said: "Father cares too much about her feelings, maybe we should be tougher."

"Oh? How tough?" Huo Mu said: "For example, openly leading troops into the capital, killing them with the Imperial City's imperial guards, and then forcing Binglun and Zongxu to hand over the Chuanguo Yuxi?"

"Father, that's not what I meant."

"If you speak harder, what else can you do?" Huo Mu said in a deep voice, "Let me ask you, how long have you been the commander of the outer guard? Can you ensure that all the soldiers under Chai Biao are loyal to you?" Is it?"

Chai Biao commanded a total of more than [-] people in the imperial guards. After Huo Song took office, although he replaced many generals, how could he guarantee the loyalty of these people?If you really lead troops into the capital to seize power, not only will you encounter desperate resistance from Xia Houjin, Tan Ying and their subordinates, but also the guards outside the imperial forest, and even the soldiers of the guard battalion led by Kuang Chong and Huo Ling who are stationed outside the city. It is unknown whether they will follow [-]% wholeheartedly. After all, from the first day of their training, they were told that it is their lifelong mission to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, and the ones they will be enemies with are the empress dowager and the emperor.

Of course, even if they all turned against each other, they wouldn't be afraid. What about the army that Huo Mu brought back from the Western Border? Those iron hoofs were enough to level the capital, but they could hurt one thousand enemies and eight hundred themselves, so why bother?Besides, there is a King of England, Zongmou, who is supporting his troops outside. He sent over a hat of "rebellion", and then, as a prince, raised the name of King Qin, and raised his arms, and the world will surely respond. When the time comes Who will know who will win?

It's not that Huo Song doesn't understand the constraints and worries during this period. He lowered his eyes and fell silent for a moment. Huo Mu focused on him: "I know you love your brother, but don't let yourself lose your mind because of a little thing." .”

"Son knows his mistake." Huo Song said in shame, "Son let father down."

"Those who can endure can achieve great things. Back then, Zongxun suspected me, deprived me of all power, and drove me into the abyss. I survived, but can't wait for the moment in front of me? Xia Houjin and Tan Ying won't hand over their military power So what? I don't have to go head-to-head with them. They are already caged birds, trapped in this capital, and they can't fly out of my palm. The biggest obstacle in front of me is not them, but Zongmou, Zongmou Once we find this hard nail, we don't have to worry about it anymore!" Huo Mu sneered: "Hey, not only will I get what I want, but it will also be logical, and destiny will come!"

"Yes." Huo Song said excitedly, "Is father ready to conquer Shu Prefecture?"

"The Empress Dowager has promised me that Zongmou will be summoned to Beijing to meet in the near future. If he doesn't come, I will take this opportunity to send troops." Huo Mu tapped the armrest of the nanmu chair lightly with his fingers, paused, and said: "If Binglun sincerely made those requests to me today, that would be the best, if she has other plans, make false claims with me, hum!"

Huo Songdao: "Father is still skeptical. She sealed Zongmou to Shuzhou in the past, just to prevent today, hoping that Zongmou will come to rescue her?"

Before Huo Mu could answer, Huo Lin said, "No."

Huo Song watched: "Why not? Don't forget that girls are extroverted. She is not just the daughter of the Huo family, she is the mother of the little emperor."

"Not the biological mother."

"There is no difference, Zong Xu's little boy has only her mother."

"We and Zongmou, who is closer to her?" Huo Lin said: "You just said that Zongxu is still a little boy, and Zongmou is the only surviving son of Shizong. He is deeply supported by the courtiers and loved by the people."

His words are extremely simple, but Huo Mu and Huo Song both know what he means, who can guarantee whether Zong Mou has a different heart, what if he also wants to be emperor?Could it be that Binglun is really willing to trust a young, promising and powerful vassal king, but not his natal family?

"Binglun is a very smart person, as long as she doesn't get too smart, things will be much easier." Huo Mu said flatly: "I hope she doesn't make me disappointed."

Gao Xian entered the inner room, put down the horn lamp in his hand, and lit the palace lantern in the corner, and the surroundings suddenly brightened up. Baozhen gently opened the brocade tent and called out: "Master, wake up!"

Lianzhen was awakened from her sleep, and her mind was still in a trance. Just as she turned sideways, the sudden light made her subconsciously cover it with her hands. Baozhen said urgently: "The Queen Mother is coming." As soon as these words came to her ears, Lianzhen couldn't help but widen her eyes. Her mind cleared up quite a bit, Baozhen was about to say something more, but Gao Xian winked at her, she quickly swallowed the rest of the words, and followed him out.

Lian Zhen sat up slowly, only to see the tall and tall figure in front of the bed, the beautiful face as if exquisitely carved, and the familiar cold and temperatureless eyes. "Binglun." She rubbed her sleepy eyes, doubting that she was dreaming, then let out a low cheer, got out of bed and rushed towards her.

At this moment, the lingering lovesickness gained the greatest comfort, and the endless worries were also released safely. . . . . .But Lianzhen soon realized that something was wrong, Binglun was stiff all over, and the hand caressing her back was trembling slightly, her heart sank suddenly, and then she remembered how Binglun came suddenly so late at night, most of the joy disappeared in an instant , looking up at her: "Binglun, what's wrong with you? Is something wrong?"

Binglun shook her head, she was a bit annoyed at first, but seeing her standing in front of her, her starry eyes were shining slightly, her clothes were half-faded, that kind of charming and charming attitude, even if all the beautiful words in the world, can't describe it in case , No matter how great the anger was, it all disappeared at this moment. She sighed helplessly, and said for a long time: "Didn't I tell you to stay in the harem and not walk around at will? Why did you go to Changle Palace again?"

The voice was soft, no trace of reproach could be heard, Lian Zhen said in amazement: "I heard that the emperor has not thought about eating and drinking recently, so I went to see, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Binglun answered lightly, but frowned again in the blink of an eye: "Aren't you afraid of the cold?"

Lian Zhen lowered her head, looked at her pair of snow-white slender feet, couldn't help curling up her toes, and said embarrassingly: "I'm here to see you..."

"Go back to bed."

"Then you too." Lian Zhen blurted out, and immediately thought of something, her plump jade cheeks blushed, and she lowered her head: "You are also so cold."

Binglun didn't pay attention, but suddenly bent down and hugged her horizontally. Lian Zhen exclaimed in a low voice, and let her hold her, staring at her dreamily, soft waves floating in her star pupils.Bing Lun put her on the bed, tucked in the quilt, and sat down beside her. Seeing her looking at him, she seemed to know what she wanted to say, and smiled slightly: "Although I am also a weak woman, I am not as weak as you."

"Hmph, I'm not a weak woman." Lian Zhen pulled out her hands, pulled Bing Lun's hand over, hugged her in her arms, and murmured: "It's so cold."

The tentacles are soft and warm, and her heartbeat is also transmitted along the palm of the hand, getting faster and faster each time. . . . . .No words can describe Binglun's feelings at this time, "I would rather die drunk and die in Gentle Township, than admire Emperor Wu's Baiyun Township", this sentence flashed in her mind, what kind of amazing beauty Zhao Hede has, can make Emperor Hancheng so obsessed , This is unknown, but she knows that she will never be able to compare with Lianzhen in case, Lianzhen is precious, and it is not only the appearance bestowed by heaven's preference?She is not only her gentle hometown, but also the resting place of her soul.

Binglun exhausted all her concentration in her life to suppress the raging desire in her heart. She knew very well that as long as they looked at each other for a moment longer, she would never be able to leave tonight.So she slowly turned her head and stared at the palace lantern in the corner. After a while, she whispered, "I'm here tonight because I have something very important for you to do."

Lian really had a bad premonition inexplicably: "What's the matter?"

Binglun took a deep breath and looked into her eyes again: "You pack up tonight, before it gets dark tomorrow, I will arrange for someone to quietly take you out of the city and go to a secret place to stay."

"I knew it, something must have happened." Lian Zhen was stunned, and the tenderness in her eyes had disappeared: "Why did you send me out of the city? Where did you send me? What about you?"

"Lian'er, listen to me." Seeing her terrified, Binglun stroked her soft hair comfortingly, and her voice became deeper and deeper: "There will be a big change in the palace soon, I must send you out to ensure your safety. safety."
