The Major General's Country Wife

"Something happened to the emperor."

The little eunuch shouted while running, leading everyone in Emperor Renhe's palace to the main hall, and took the opportunity to run out of the palace.

The only chance to survive is to leave here. He didn't know where to run for a while, but when he saw a group of patrolling guards, he suddenly had a direction.

"Guard He, Guard He." The little eunuch seemed to be grasping at straws, and desperately pulled Xiao He aside.

Xiao He, who had just entered the palace, was stopped by the little eunuch hiding in the dark before reaching the residence where the guards were on duty.

Xiao He looked around, there were not many people in the early morning, and it was just the two of them at this moment, so he followed the little eunuch's strength to a remote and uninhabited place.

"He guard." The little eunuch's face was pale, and he was so frightened that he couldn't speak for a long time with his lips trembling.

This was the only person who could, could, might have helped him, but the situation was too big for him to be or would be.

"Wow." The little eunuch cried loudly, and fell limp to the ground, feeling no hope.

"Yuan He." Xiao He squatted down, patted the little eunuch's back lightly, and said in a gentle tone, "What's wrong? Don't cry, tell me what's going on, and see if I can help you."

"No, no." The little eunuch cried in a mess, "Uh uh" hiccupped a few times, "No one can help me, no one can help."

"It's okay, don't be afraid." Xiao He continued to coax, "Don't worry, no matter what happens, there will always be a solution, just take your time."

"He guard." The little eunuch was coaxed by him, and his emotions gradually eased. He raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and said with red eyes, "I'm going to die, and no one can save me."

He said the matter slowly, and he had already figured it out in his heart that he was doomed in this matter, and his immature face was full of determination.

"Guard He." The little eunuch said: "For so many years, I have been grateful to you for taking care of me for my brother's sake, but I can't repay you."

"I'll give you a few kowtows." The little eunuch stood up in a slumped posture, knelt down on the ground and was about to kowtow.

"Don't." Xiao He grabbed him and stopped the storm in his heart, "Don't worry, I will try my best to find a way, you hide first."

"Where should I hide?" The little eunuch burst into tears again, "Now the emperor's bedroom is in a mess, no one is paying attention to my running out, and I will probably be arrested everywhere in a while."

"I'll find you a place." Xiao He pulled him up and said, "Hide as long as you can, I, I will try my best to help you escape."

Xiao He hesitated to speak, such a big matter, and such a big living person, how could he be so capable as a bastard who was not valued by his family.

"Leave me alone." Although the little eunuch looked thirteen or fourteen years old, he had been in the palace since he was a child, so how could he not know that he would not escape death anyway.

"Let's go, find a place first before anyone pays attention to you." Xiao He couldn't help but hold him back, and took advantage of his familiarity with the palace to hide him in a dark corner.

"Wait for me here, don't leave alone." Xiao He instructed, with eyes full of unbearable.

"Well, I know, Brother Yuheng." The little eunuch suddenly showed a smile, warm and shy.

"Yuanhe." Xiao He hugged him, and the past flashed back to his eyes, "I haven't heard you called brother for many years."

"If you don't bark again, I'm afraid you won't have a chance." The little eunuch said in a soft voice, "I really miss when I was a child, I could go to my father and the others."

"Don't talk nonsense." Xiao He let go of him, "Wait, don't move."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left, tears streaming down the corners of his eyes, he could have quietly sent him out of the palace at this moment when no one knew about it.

But thinking about his biological mother, the brothers guarding the palace gate and their family members, Xiao He couldn't bear to hurt them.

You can't let so many people lose their lives just because of one person, Xiao He can't be so selfish, just like watching a friend's family die back then.

There was only one remaining younger brother, and he was powerless to save him. Seeing him being sent to the palace at a young age, he couldn't even pass it on to an heir.

"Brother Xu." Xiao He returned to the guard station as if nothing had happened, and while changing his armor, he signaled to Xu Changfeng that he had something to say.

"En." Xu Changfeng nodded, went out first after changing his clothes, and waited for him in a corner.

When Xiao He told the story quietly, Xu Changfeng was shocked. He didn't expect that Emperor Renhe would be poisoned and died so soon.

Although he had received the news in advance that someone would attack Emperor Renhe's meal, Xu Changfeng never dreamed that the queen would quickly intervene in it.

After thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but wonder, for the sake of the throne, everyone is unwilling to be the queen, and wants to take advantage of the chaos to win it, so it is natural to strike first.

"Brother Xu." Xiao He said, "Can you save him?"

He looked expectant, and could only count on Xu Changfeng to help, "I really can't help at all, I can't bear to watch him die, and I can't hurt my brother against my conscience."

"It's easy to save him, but he may be needed for some things." Xu Changfeng said.

"Brother Xu." With a "thud", Xiao He knelt down and kowtowed, "As long as Brother Xu says, you can use us for anything, and we will find a way to repay the debt we owe you."

"Get up." Xu Changfeng pulled Xiao He up, "Keep him first, and we'll talk about other things later."

"Okay." Xiao He breathed a sigh of relief, "How to do it, Brother Xu, tell me."

Xu Changfeng looked in the direction of Emperor Renhe's palace, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth, "I'm probably thinking about how to suppress this matter now, no one will keep staring at the little eunuch, it will be dangerous when the prime minister enters the palace."

"Then?" Xiao He hesitated to speak.

"First spread the news of the emperor's death." Xu Changfeng said: "It's best to lure the queen mother out, so that the queen has no time to look after him, and the prime minister can't cover the sky with one hand."

"I'll do it." Xiao He said.

"Okay." Xu Changfeng nodded, "You are familiar with the palace, and you will go to the emperor's bedroom more often when you are on tour."

"Got it." Xiao He said, and left first.

Xu Changfeng turned around, he had to find a way to send the news out of the palace, let everyone in the capital know, and he couldn't let Prime Minister He and the others quietly suppress the matter.

……

"What?" Yun Chang's jaw almost dropped in shock, the emperor is making a fart so soon?

"Go, spread the news." Yun Changsheng ordered: "Many officials don't know about it now, and they have just entered the government office at this time."

"Yes." Qiu Si said: "I will try my best to let them know as soon as possible."

"I didn't go to court this morning, so many people may think that they can relax for a few days!" Yun Changsheng said.

He sighed: It's so easy to die alone. Emperor Renhe is the lord of the world, and he was poisoned by the closest people around him. It's really hard to guard against.

He hurried to Xu Guogong's place. Xu Changfeng sent a message to let the family prepare, and Xu Guogong would be of great use.

"Grandfather." Yun Changsheng rushed into Xu Guogong's study and said, "The emperor has passed away."

"What?" Xu Guogong stood up in surprise, "When? Why isn't there a death knell?"

"What death knell do you want?" Yun Changsheng almost rolled his eyes at him, "I can't hide it."

He briefly explained the matter, then turned his head to look at the sky outside the window, and said, "It's been less than an hour now, and many people still don't know about it."

After Xu Guogong heard what had happened, he looked at Yun Changsheng helplessly, and said, "The palace is full of eyeliners. You think many people don't know the news. It is estimated that the major families are already discussing countermeasures."

"Huh?" Yun Changsheng was stunned, slapped his forehead, and said annoyedly: "When it comes to conspiracies and tricks, and all kinds of secret methods, no one can compare to the veterans of various aristocratic families and officialdom."

"You don't need to understand." Xu Guogong smiled, "We don't participate in these things, we only keep our own duties."

"But." Yun Changsheng looked at Xu Guogong, "Whether it is the eldest prince or the second prince ascending the throne, the situation of our Xu family will not improve."

"Hey!" Xu Guogong sighed, "Didn't I let go and leave everything to you and Changfeng?"

He had already noticed that his grandson was messing with things secretly. The actions of Yun Changsheng, the eldest daughter-in-law, and the power he possessed were surprising again and again.

Xu Guogong simply let go, handed over all the rights, and let the two juniors handle all the internal and external affairs of the Duke's mansion, and he hid in the dark to help them control it.

"There are some things that we can't do." Yun Changsheng said, he was not so arrogant, thinking that he was all-powerful and could do everything.

"You want me to interfere with the throne?" Xu Guogong said, although his tone was not harsh, his eyes showed disapproval.

"Grandfather is not loyal to the dynasty, is he not for the sake of the people of the world?" Yun Changsheng said: "Are the two princes suitable for the throne? And Emperor Renhe, who is now on the path of mediocrity, which one is suitable for the throne? "

Xu Guogong was silent, he didn't want to think about it according to what Yun Changsheng said, but if these three people were really on the throne, the world might not be peaceful anymore.

"Okay." Xu Guogong said after a long time: "When the news spreads outside, my country's lord will enter the palace immediately."

"Grandfather." Yun Changsheng was ashamed, "I'm sorry, the ancestors taught us not to interfere in the government and not to participate in the struggle for the throne, but we are not only for the government."

"It doesn't matter." Xu Guogong said: "The rise and fall of a dynasty should be based on this generation. If there is no good heir to the throne, even if there is nothing wrong with this generation, the next generation will not know whether it can be preserved."

Seeing that Xu Guogong wanted to open up, Yun Changsheng got up with confidence, and said, "Grandfather, I'm going to find out the news, and I will send someone to report if there is something to do."

"Go." Xu Guogong nodded.

……

"Snapped."

"what."

The queen covered her face and looked at the furious queen mother, "Queen mother, calm down."

She suppressed her fear, she didn't expect the news to come so fast, the queen mother had rushed over before the prime minister entered the palace.

"Calm your anger?" The Empress Dowager's eyes were cold, "You control the emperor's bedroom and prevent anyone from visiting, just to murder the emperor?"

"No, no." The queen hurriedly shook her head, but she couldn't explain it.

"Empress Dowager." The old mother next to the Empress stepped forward and knelt down, pointing to the wound on her head, and said: "It was a little eunuch who murdered the Emperor, and was caught by the servant, who injured the servant and escaped."

"Hmph." The Empress Dowager's eyes moved on her and the Empress, and she sneered for a while, "Aijia is easy to fool? A little eunuch who can do something under the Empress' nose is first of all a crime of dereliction of duty."

"Besides, whether it is a young eunuch or not remains to be verified. Don't think about getting away so easily." The Empress Dowager said: "Let the civil and military officials call the clan into the palace."

"Yes." The eunuch who served beside the queen mother took orders.

"Mother." The queen stepped forward to stop her, saying: "The person who murdered the emperor has not been found yet, and it is a bit inappropriate to call the ministers into the palace now."

"You don't need to teach Ai's family how to do it." The Queen Mother said coldly: "You should think about it yourself, how to shirk the responsibility and get away with it."

"The Queen Mother is serious." As soon as she finished speaking, Prime Minister He walked in.
