"Your Highness, the princess went to Han's house and said that he wanted to find old general Han to learn some experience in leading the army, so as not to discredit you."

Lu Niaoyou sat up early in the morning with her mind still in a daze, when she heard Mulian talking about it while helping her to wash.

"What? It's not time for the palace gate to open yet. Why didn't she come and tell me about it in person?"

Lu Yanyou faintly felt that something was wrong, but Mulian was just a servant and could not meddle with the master's business, so she said in a bit of embarrassment: "Here, the princess said that the matter should be urgent, so she won't come to bid farewell to His Highness, just a slave to see When the princess left, his expression was a little strange, as if he didn't sleep well."

"Could it be that Yanyan chooses a shop? No, she slept with me in this bedroom the night before, and I saw that she was in good spirits yesterday..."

"Then did she say when she will come back?"

Mu Lian shook her head, Lu Niao was a little worried, just thinking that Gu Yan asked Mu Lian to give her a message here, just to learn some experience in leading the army, and she was too embarrassed to keep him in her hands, so she just Sighing, she confessed to Mulian: "Since that's the case, then I'll go out to work later, so you send someone to watch at the gate of the palace. If Yanyan comes back, let someone come and let me know."

"Yes."

Although there was something wrong in Lu Niaoyou's heart, but there were still many things to be busy today, so she could only suppress the something wrong in her heart.

Overnight, among those ministers who were under unified observation, two of them had developed drug addiction.

Lu Nianiao had already written the prescription, and asked someone to take the prescription to fry it. By the way, someone supervised the two adults to drink it, and ordered someone to tie them up when they couldn't bear it anymore.

As for those ministers who haven't behaved abnormally for the time being, Lu Niao has arranged for them to continue to do their jobs, but they just change their official duties to another place.

After everything was arranged, Lu Niaoyou remembered that Emperor Guang left the banquet in a hurry yesterday, and he didn't know what happened now, so he raised his heart again and hurried to Qinzheng Palace.

When Lu Niaoyou arrived, Eunuch Zhang was circling in a hurry outside the hall, and there was a roar from time to time in the bare space inside, only to hear a crowd of palace people kneeling outside.

"Your Highness, you are here. Something was wrong when His Majesty came back yesterday, but he could bear it at that time, but his body was trembling.

But this morning he couldn't eat this meal, and his expression was a little strange, as if he couldn't stand that thing right now. "

"Then the prescription I wrote down, can you order someone to decoct the medicine and let the father drink it?"

Eunuch Zhang wiped the sweat off his face, tremblingly said:

"Your majesty became very angry when he had a fit. My servant, my servant, let someone fry the medicine and bring it in, but your majesty didn't move, and even smashed the medicine bowl..."

"That's it, then you wait outside, and you will do whatever I tell you later."

After standing outside the door and listening for a while, Lu Niao ordered Eunuch Zhang to dismiss the palace servants, opened the door and walked in.

As soon as Lu Youyou entered, a teacup flew towards him. With sharp eyes and quick hands, Lu Youyou grabbed the teacup, walked over a few steps, and gently placed the teacup on the table.

"Father."

When Emperor Guang heard Lu Niao's soft call, he turned his face in a daze. After seeing Lu Niao, his eyes finally focused.

"It's you, Qinghe, why are you here now? Father is fine, you just settle the court."

Lu Niao looked at Emperor Guang from his high-spirited face to his face like gold leaf now, wearing a dragon robe that was so wide that it seemed to be leaking everywhere, he felt quite overwhelmed.

"Father, it's time to drink the medicine, and you will be well after drinking the medicine."

"Yes, drink medicine, I want to drink medicine, I want to drink medicine..." Guangdi listened to Lu Niaoyou's words, and touched the table casually while talking, but his expression was in a trance, and he immediately touched the teapot. He poured it into his mouth, but then stood up suddenly and smashed the teapot into pieces.

"Give me, give me, I want to eat, I want to eat the rice cooked by the imperial chef!"

So Lu Niaoliu watched Guangdi go from calm to mad, his eyes were bloodshot like a lunatic, running around in Qinzheng Hall, cursing and laughing.

"No, I can't eat, I will die if I eat, I want to drink medicine, I want to drink medicine, no, don't take medicine, I will feel comfortable when I eat, I will feel comfortable when I eat..."

Emperor Guang walked back and forth in the huge palace unsteadily, with empty clothes floating behind him, and it was only then that Lu Niao realized that Emperor Guang was walking barefoot in the palace.

It's already a cold winter, and the hall didn't even light a charcoal fire because they were afraid that Emperor Guang would hurt him.

Lu Niao looked at the bruises on Emperor Guang's feet, but Emperor Guang didn't notice it at all, like a wandering spirit, walking back and forth, staggering, while walking, he seemed to be talking to himself.

If outsiders saw the situation of Emperor Guang at this moment, the news of Emperor Dayu's madness would spread throughout the entire capital in an instant.

No wonder, no wonder Emperor Guang felt so uncomfortable, he wanted to kick out Eunuch Zhang and other palace officials, he, he didn't want his appearance to be seen by others and spread to ruin the reputation of the royal family!

Lu Niaoyou bit her lip, and finally made a decision to call Eunuch Zhang in.

"Your Highness..."

As soon as Eunuch Zhang came in and saw Emperor Guang's appearance, he was startled at first, and then quickly covered his mouth.

Lu Niao glanced at Eunuch Zhang coldly, seeing that his eyes were filled with distress and worry, she let go of the last trace of guard in her heart, and then said: "Take the rope and tie up the father."

"Your Highness, no!"

When Eunuch Zhang heard Lu Niaoyou's words, he seemed to be frightened, and his voice was a little shrill.

Lu Niao's complexion was as cold as ice:

"As the empress dowager, I tell you, go and get it! If there is anything, I will take care of it!"

Lu Niaoyou's last sentence had a faint feeling of breaking the sound, and at this moment, Eunuch Zhang realized that Lu Niaoyou's eyes were already flushed red.

The Dayu royal family has a rule that when the emperor is not around, the prince/granddaughter should be respected as the emperor.

Now that Emperor Guang is like this, what is the difference between not being there?

Eunuch Zhang looked at Lu Niaoyou like this, and wanted to say something, but then he saw what Guangdi standing barefoot in front of the window was about to do that would startle people's eyes, he gritted his teeth and ran out quickly.

Not long after, Eunuch Zhang came back with the rope, and Lu Niao and Eunuch Zhang worked together to fix Emperor Guang on a chair.

Although Eunuch Zhang is a eunuch, he started as a eunuch when he was young. He also knows how to kidnap people, and he knows that his majesty's pride is not willing to let others see him in such a state of mind. In addition to the second, the emperor was tied to the chair.

However, Emperor Guang was the emperor, and he was pampered and raised since he was a child. When the rope was tightened, Emperor Guang's struggle became more violent, and his hands and feet were worn out after a short while.

Looking at Emperor Guang like this, Lu Niaoyao felt distressed in her eyes:

"Let's loosen up your father..."

Hearing Lu Niaoyou's words, Eunuch Zhang couldn't bear it at first, so he hurriedly prepared to loosen the rope, but he didn't want to be held down by Lu Niaoyou again: "Forget it, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, let's do it first. You immediately let people Go to decoct the medicine, and when the father calms down, feed the medicine to the father."

At this moment, Eunuch Zhang only knew that he should be numb. Seeing that His Majesty, who had been served by him until now, became like this, his heart was filled with fear and distress.

If His Majesty had an accident, he might go with His Majesty too!

After Lu Yuyou gave all these instructions, seeing Emperor Guang being tied up with a rough rope, his whole body roared and struggled like a trapped animal, thinking of the kind and kind father in his memory in the past, Lu Yuyou closed his eyes , suppressing her sadness, turned around and left from Qinzheng Palace, now she should find out who was behind the scenes.

"Take good care of the father, and send someone to find me immediately if there is anything."

After leaving the Hall of Qinzheng, Lu Niao led the people directly towards the queen's palace.

At this moment, Princess Pingyang and the Queen are sitting in the palace cursing Lu Niaoyou, and secretly complaining about Emperor Guang's eccentricity in their hearts.

"It's all Royal Father. If Royal Father hadn't always favored Qinghe, how could we have come up with this idea? It's just that this thing is only available to her. How could those ministers..."

"Shut up, Pingyang! We can't talk about this matter anymore! I'm afraid we are making a knife in someone else's hand. This matter should be the trick of the Di people!

If it wasn't arranged by Di Ren intentionally, as the woman of Gumei's boudoir, how could she get that thing, I'm afraid we are being used by others just like Gumei! "

Empress Lin said with a gloomy expression. Pingyang didn't dare to say more when she saw that the empress's complexion was not right. He just thought that his sister-in-law, who had always been on his head in the past, suddenly became the empress dowager. Then he leaned up to her and breathed, which made Pingyang's teeth itch.

"Then... look at the empress, about the emperor's daughter, did the emperor really approve of her? Obviously, obviously, I am not inferior to her, and I also have an empress..."

After listening to Pingyang's words, Empress Lin put her eyes on her. After a while, she sighed softly and patted Pingyang's head.

It's because you have a queen mother.

If you were the Empress Dowager, your relatives would definitely monopolize the power, how could His Majesty want to see this?

Empress Lin is well aware of this matter, but she has never revealed a word to Pingyang. She has always taught Pingyang that her mother clan is her most solid backing.

Besides, she's just a princess, isn't she not enthroned yet?Before everything is settled, Pingyang's heart can only turn to the Lin family.

"Your Majesty! Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager is leading a lot of people towards our palace!"

"She is bold! After all, she is also her mother, and she is so rude. Could it be that she really thinks that she is omnipotent when she becomes the empress dowager?!"

Pingyang was the most impatient, but a flash of panic flashed in Empress Lin's eyes, and then she forced herself to calm down.

"Pingyang, don't worry, she must have come here this time to ask about the imperial chef. We have done a good job in this matter, even if Qinghe can't find any omissions, so you just need to hold your breath for a while, Mo Lu It’s good to be on the horse’s feet.”

Hearing what Queen Lin said, Pingyang couldn't help but feel half relieved.

It was also the palace man with sharp eyes, and not long after, Lu Niao came.

After entering the palace, Lu Niaoliu bowed to Empress Lin, but Empress Lin didn't dare to accept the full salute, so she turned sideways to avoid it.

She is the successor, even if her children have royal blood, they will be half a head shorter in front of the children born of the Yuan Dynasty, let alone her.

What's more, Empress Lin is still guilty at the moment, she just hopes that she will lower her posture a bit so that Lu Niao will not hold her tightly.

After Lu Niao finished the ceremony, she didn't intend to exchange greetings with Empress Lin, and asked straight to the point: "I heard that the imperial cook was recommended by the empress mother to the emperor father. I don't know where the empress mother found him?"

coming.

Queen Lin thought about it for a while, and Lu Niao's question had already been expected by her.

"Yes, yes, I heard that your Majesty Qinghe misses you day and night when you are not in Beijing these days, so the food doesn't taste very delicious, so I specially asked someone to find a fresh cook."

Listening to Queen Lin's answer, Lu Niaowei did not show any disbelief, but just lowered her eyes and continued to ask, "Then I wonder if the queen mother has tasted the dishes presented by this cook?"

Empress Lin was stunned for a moment, and said:

"Tasted."

Lu curled up with a smile:

"Since that's the case, how can the empress be willing to recommend the cook who can only cook ordinary dishes to the emperor as the imperial cook?

After all, I saw that the chef was able to serve only ordinary dishes when the banquet was so important that day, so that's the end of his skills.

By the way, I heard that the banquet that day was held by the queen mother, and the dishes at the banquet were also decided by the queen mother, could it be the queen mother..."

"It's not me!" Empress Lin lost her sense of control when Lu Nianiao said a few words, she stood up quickly and said anxiously.

But then, when she saw Shang Lu Niaoyou's half-smiling eyes, she just felt a basin of cold water poured down her head.

At this time, Ping Yang on the side obviously couldn't bear to see his mother being suppressed by Lu Niao, so he quickly stood up and stood in front of Queen Lin, looked at Lu Niao, and glared: "Elder sister's words are so unreasonable. If you don't manage the palace banquet very much, it is inevitable that there will be omissions. All these are compared to the previous examples.

Does the elder sister have any objections to the comparison? You should know that the elders can't deny it. You should be grateful to the queen mother for taking the trouble to prepare the palace banquet for you, instead of questioning the queen mother here! "

After Pingyang interrupted, Empress Lin gradually calmed down, but Empress Lin who calmed down looked a little ugly.

She was well aware of the reason why she didn't prepare much for palace banquets, but being said so by her own daughter made her feel like her face was being torn off and trampled under her feet.

She looked at Lu Niaoyao opposite, and felt a mockery in her eyes.

Obviously they are all women, Qinghe has no biological mother, but Pingyang has been taught by him all the time, but compared with Qinghe, Pingyang's qualifications are really too rough, is he really not as good as Yuanhou?

"Pingyang, that's enough! Don't be disrespectful to the princess!" Empress Lin scolded Pingyang lightly, unwilling to listen to her own daughter talking about her unsatisfactory past.

But Ping Yang obviously got the wrong idea, thinking about Queen Lin's whispered words in front of Lu Niaoyou just now, but she met her... Obviously she stood up for her, but she didn't hesitate to blame herself for it.

"Queen! Am I your daughter or is she your daughter?! You actually blamed me for her. If that's the case, you won't be my queen in the future!!!"

After Ping Yang said this, he rushed out sullenly.

"Hurry up and stop Pingyang!"

Empress Lin hurriedly ordered the maids to stop Pingyang, but Pingyang ran very fast and disappeared after a while.

When Pingyang's shadow disappeared, although Empress Lin was worried, she managed to force a smile: "Pingyang, I'm spoiled, I hope you don't take offense. But, before the cook was recommended by me, I It was investigated by someone, he is absolutely innocent, you have to trust the queen mother!"

As Empress Lin said, she was observing Lu Niaoyou's face and thinking about herself. Yesterday she prevented Lu Niaoyou from becoming the crown princess, so today I have to bow my head in front of her to explain it. I just feel bitter and unbearable in my heart. Started doing something wrong?

Lu Niao looked at Queen Lin, thinking about the turmoil just now, and smiled ironically in her heart.

She looked at Empress Lin with cold eyes:

"Since the queen mother said so, I naturally believe it, but the queen mother said that she had tasted the dishes served by the imperial chef, so she must have become addicted to drugs.

From now on, the queen mother will need to be observed. At that time, the small kitchen in your palace will be closed, and someone will deliver meals to you in a unified way.

This turmoil is caused by the disease from the mouth, and I hope my mother will take it as a warning. "

Lu Niaoyou said softly, but Empress Lin's face turned pale when she heard Lu Niaoyou's words. If she didn't even have the right to control the palace, and had to accept food from outside, who would know that the empress dowager would Will he secretly take personal revenge and add that thing to his meals?

"This, this is unnecessary..."

Empress Lin said with a pale face, she wanted to refuse, but she remembered what happened just now, and the tone of her rejection was not so strong.

Lu Niaoyao glanced at her with a smile on her face, but there was no smile in her eyes.

"Of course I want it, otherwise, who knows what else should not be in this palace. After all, the culprit who is collaborating with the enemy and treason has not been found out yet, and the queen mother should be cautious after being a country."

"Tong, collaborating with the enemy and treason? Why is it such a serious crime?"

Lu Niao smiled lightly:

"What did the empress think, now that the Di people have captured the Nine Cities in a row, but I, Dayu, have no generals and no officials to serve. Today is only the first day and two adults have been found to be addicted to drugs. I don't know what's going on!

At such a critical moment, someone has moved his hand against the important minister of the country in advance. If this is not collaborating with the enemy and treason, what is it?If this person is found out, his nine clans will be punished and his body will be shredded into pieces! "

Lu Niaoling's words made Empress Lin tremble, and then a pale smile appeared on her face: "Qing, Qinghe's right, he should be dealt with like this, this person is too bad, he is trying to dig out my roots, Dayu! "

Queen Lin's teeth chattered unconsciously as she spoke.

What, is it so serious?

However, seeing Lu Youyou's cold expression, she knew that everything Lu Youyou said just now was not a lie.

Seeing that under her verbal offensive, Empress Lin had faint signs of mental breakdown, so she put it away as soon as it was over, got up and said goodbye.

"Since the mother's mother is well here, I have finished asking what I should ask, so I will take my leave."

Queen Lin wanted to get up to see her off, but was stopped by Lu Niao the next second.

"Mother stay here, it's enough for you to wait and observe quietly in the palace during this time, this is what happened just now, Qinghe has a word for mother."

"What?" Empress Lin was in a daze at the moment, so she asked along the way.

"When Qinghe was young, he heard that in the Gobi Desert, there was a kind of sheep called the Tibetan antelope. If they encountered a strong enemy, they would encounter natural dangers on the way to escape with their children, and then use their bodies as stones to let the children step on their own lives. Survive, but he fell into the abyss.

I think that even animals know to protect their children, let alone humans? "

Lu Niaoyao's words were plain and plain, but to Empress Lin, they were heartbreaking words. She remembered what Pingyang said just now, and her whole body collapsed instantly. She took a few steps back and fell to the ground.

After Lu Nianiao said this, she took people away without caring about Queen Lin's reaction.

In the following time, she arranged for manpower to investigate the matter of the imperial chef. She now had objects of suspicion, that is, Queen Lin and the Lin family of Queen Lin's mother. After all, everything that Queen Lin showed today was too much. Strange, and the only thing missing now is evidence.

On the other hand, she was busy running between the rooms of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance and the Minister of the Ministry of War, waiting for their decision.

In the end, the three simply gathered in one room and discussed the arrangements for this expedition. It was not until late at night that Lu Niao returned to her bedroom exhausted.

Mu Lian was still waiting in the palace as caringly as yesterday. As soon as Lu Youyou came back, she stepped forward to take off the heavy clothes for her, removed the complicated hair accessories, and combed her hair with a comb. , massaging the scalp, let Lu Niaoyou relax as quickly as possible.

After Lu Niaoling took a short breath, Mu Lian said with a smile:

"Your Highness is discussing court affairs with the adults today. Eunuch Zhang doesn't want to disturb His Highness, so he asked someone to come and tell his servants that His Majesty is much better after drinking the medicine today. Please don't worry His Highness."

Lu Niao nodded, feeling a little relieved, this is the best news today.

"Then Yanyan fell asleep?"

Lu Niao closed her eyes and asked. After hearing this, Mu Lian hesitated for a moment, lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the princess has not returned to the palace today, so he must have talked with Old General Han about leading the army just like His Highness." I was lost in the matter and missed the time to return to the palace."

Mu Lian's last words meant some relief, but the feeling that something was wrong rose up in Lu Niaoyou's heart in an instant.

This girl is definitely avoiding herself, but what is there that deserves her avoiding herself, and why can't she sleep well because of this matter?

Lu Niaoyao thought that she had almost arranged the things that should be arranged today, and the next thing was to wait for the results, so she decided to go to the Han Mansion the next day to have a look.

I don't know if it's because I was thinking about Gu Yan not coming back at night, Lu Youyou didn't sleep very well that night, and when she woke up the next day, her eyes were still faintly black.

In the early morning of the next day, Mu Lian took the egg and rolled the eyes of Lu Niao, and said in a low voice, "What's the matter, Your Highness? As soon as he left the palace, he had two dark circles under his eyes just like the princess!"

"Thinking about these two things at night, I just didn't sleep well for a while, you just roll around a few more times, and it will be fine when it subsides."

Lu Nianiao said this, but she sighed softly in her heart, Yanyan, ah Yanyan, going out, is it so stressful for you?

After a night of deliberation, Lu Niao determined all this to be Gu Yan's pre-conquest anxiety.

But today she will comfort and comfort Gu Yan.
