Before dawn, a maid entered the palace and gently woke Liu Ruxuan from her sleep.

This is not a difficult task, since that bloody night, Liu Ruxuan has never had a good night's sleep.Whenever she closed her eyes in the dead of night, before her eyes was the scene of big balls of blood spreading under her body, and the bright red color flowed under her husband's body, spreading out into a huge and gorgeous flower.

This is the flower watered by power and status, the most fragrant and beautiful flower in the world.

The more you want to forget the memories, the more they will hit you in the middle of the night.

All those affectionate feelings in the past, all emerged one by one in the dream, and can never be turned over again.She watched the still immature and innocent girl shyly throw herself into the arms of a tall and elegant man, watched her wither from a trusting innocent girl day by day, and finally became the dignified and dull princess.

Everything can evolve to the present situation, do you regret it?

You will be lost, you will be disappointed, but you will not regret it alone.

why?

Because there will never be a better result than now.Being a mother is tough, so she could bear it for the so-called love at the beginning, but she couldn't bear it anymore.

Does Liu Ruxuan love the prince?

She loved her so much that she felt that she had lost her dignity and became nothing like herself at one point.

But it turns out that this love is not without boundaries.

Liu Ruxuan could bear that the prince loved power more than herself, and could bear that the prince married other women for more support, but she couldn't bear that what belonged to Zhen'an was taken away.

For Zhen'an, everything is worth it, even if it makes her bear the infamy for thousands of years, she doesn't care.

Thinking of her infant son, the haze caused by the dream in Liu Ruxuan's heart finally dissipated.

She took the brocade handkerchief from the maid's hand, slowly wiped off the fine sweat from her forehead and neck, and lazily glanced at the still dark sky outside the window, and asked softly, "What's going on? You actually want you to take me away?" shout."

The maid looked strange, and said hesitantly, "Report to the Queen Mother, someone is visiting."

Who will come so early?

Liu Ruxuan's head became clearer, and she vaguely thought of someone: "Which adult is it?"

"Yes...it's Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie Zhaoxie from Yushitai."

Sure enough it was him.

When Liu Ruxuan heard this name, she showed such an expression.

Xu Yixin was on guard against her, and controlled the front court by himself, preventing her from touching any government affairs.But in her current position, Liu Ruxuan will no longer rely on Xu Yixin in everything like she did back then.Just because Xu Yixin didn't let her know about the previous court affairs didn't mean that Liu Ruxuan really didn't know anything about the content of the daily court meeting.

Why Xie Zhao came, Liu Ruxuan already had an idea in her mind.

The maid persuaded: "After all, it's a foreign minister, and it's this time, do you really want to see me?"

Liu Ruxuan lifted the quilt, and the maid at the side saw her, and immediately stepped forward to put her shoes on, and went to get a regular dress that was still stable with a wink.

While opening her hands and allowing the maid to help her put on her clothes, while carefully thinking about other things, Liu Ruxuan laughed casually, and asked lightly: "Why don't you see me? There are so many people in my palace watching, what can you do outside?" Arrangement?"

It is impossible for Xie Zhao not to think of things that a little maid can think about.But even though he knew that he would be gossiped about, and might even be referred to a book, he still rushed here without hesitation, which shows that the situation is really serious.

In this case, of course Liu Ruxuan had to see him.

In fact, even if Xie Zhao didn't come today, she still planned to find an excuse to meet Xie Zhao and explain some things clearly.Now that Xie Zhao came to deliver it to her door, it saved her a lot of trouble.

Xie Zhao only waited for a quarter of an hour before Liu Ruxuan arrived.

For Liu Ruxuan, who has a very different status and status, this time cannot be shorter. Xie Zhao, who originally thought that she would sit on the bench for a while, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the expression on the young civil servant's face was much more relaxed, a smile appeared on Liu Ruxuan's lips.

"Thank you for sitting down."

She rewarded the seat with a smile, and asked the maid to serve hot tea for Xie Zhao. She didn't have the slightest risk of being disturbed in her dream, but asked in a good-tempered manner: "Master Xie, what's the matter for coming to see me so early?"

If other officials of the DPRK and China saw her appearance, they would be shocked.After all, this guy scolded Xie Zhao for being ungrateful and rude to all the officials a few days ago, who would have thought that seeing Xie Zhao in private now would show him cherishing and loving him?

Putting the teacup on the small table at the side, Xie Zhao was not interested in deviating from Liu Ruxuan, and said directly: "I came to see the Queen Mother today because I have something to ask for."

The smile on her face became more genuine, Liu Ruxuan raised her eyebrows, and said teasingly, "Master Xie, did you recognize me as the empress dowager?"

"So what if you recognize it, so what if you don't recognize it, Xie Zhao is just a censor, and Xie Zhao's approval doesn't have that much weight."

Xie Zhao lowered his head and laughed at himself, "What is more important now is not the past. Compared with what has been lost, shouldn't we try our best to grab those who are still alive at this time?"

Having said that, it is indeed frank enough.

Unexpectedly, Xie Zhao would speak so clearly, Liu Ruxuan said, "That's the truth."

Smiling, she looked at Xie Zhao, and her tone suddenly softened: "Master Xie is such a smart person, he must understand that I am just a woman, so I don't know anything about the previous court. If you have anything, you might as well ask the prime minister .”

"Only you can help me with this matter."

Hearing Liu Ruxuan's evasive words, Xie Zhao frowned subconsciously: "I won't beat around the bush with you either—I hope that what Master Li Ying has, I can have too."

What does Li Ying have?It is a dispatch order, and it is the support from the capital for Yanding and Xie Jiajun.

Now that Li Ying has a dark heart, Xie Zhao naturally wants to fill in the vacancy and rush to Yanding as soon as possible.

At this time, even the time to drink saliva seems to be a waste of life.

Xie Zhao's eyes were burning, and his words were firm: "This trip to Yanding, I must go!"

As the Queen Mother, does Liu Ruxuan have this right?

some.

The little emperor couldn't even speak. According to the usual practice, as the empress dowager, she could indeed act as an agent for some court affairs, and it was nothing at all to appoint an official of the rank of minister.

Right now Xie Zhaoming is going to encourage Liu Ruxuan and Xu Yixin to tear each other apart, it all depends on whether Liu Ruxuan is willing or not.

The question is, does Liu Ruxuan have the guts?

"You are really embarrassing me."

Liu Ruxuan suddenly let out a long sigh, depressed: "It's not that you don't know that I don't interfere in the affairs of the court now, and I rely on Master Xu to help take care of it. Master Xu appointed Master Li in the front foot, and I appointed you in the same position in the back foot Responsibility, what will Lord Xu think of me? How will the courtiers think of me?"

Xie Zhao said in a deep voice, "You don't know what it means if Yanding and Xie Jiajun fall this time."

He raised his head and paused every word: "If you don't make a decision now, His Highness Zhen'an may not even have the chance to make a decision in the future."

It is really ironic to call the little emperor His Highness Zhen'an by name and surname.

Sure enough, when Liu Ruxuan, who was still calm before, heard these four words, she immediately slapped the table and got up angrily, and said bitterly, "Well, Xie Zhao! Do you know who you are talking to?!"

——Is this the attitude of begging for help? !

Xie Zhao met her gaze fearlessly and did not take half a step back.

In the end, Liu Ruxuan was the first to look away.

As her chest rose and fell, she tried her best to suppress the displeasure of being offended, sat down again, and began to think about what Xie Zhao said.

I have to say that although Xie Zhao's words are not pertinent, there is still a reason.

This matter is not difficult to figure out: something happened to Xie Jiajun, of course Xu Yixin's people will be on top.Now that there are Lin Zheng and Yu Shitai in the court to help her constrain Xu Yixin, if Xu Yixin has completely mastered all the military power, will her Zhen'an be the next one to strike?

It's no wonder that Liu Ruxuan was so worried, it was because the brief cooperation with Xu Yixin that night had already planted a hidden thunder in her heart: what is there that Xu Yixin dare not do?

She thought to herself that Qin Zhen'an and Qin Zhen'an were orphans and widowed mothers. If Lin Ying, Xie Zhao and others were all down, how could her little cleverness be able to outplay Xu Yixin? By then Xu Yixin didn't want Zhen'an to continue to be a puppet. What will happen to Zhen'an and her?

Besides, Liu Ruxuan also has ambitions, and submitting to Xu Yixin is only a temporary strategy. She doesn't want Zhen'an to be a puppet in Xu Yixin's hands for the rest of her life.

These thousands of miles of rivers and mountains should belong to the surname Qin, shouldn't they?

Liu Ruxuan didn't want to confront Xu Yixin, but it didn't mean she didn't dare to do so. If she was brave enough, she was able to sit in this position, which naturally proved her courage.

After thinking about it for a long time, she suddenly asked Xie Zhao: "Master Xie should be clear, if you come to my place today, maybe what we said, that person will know everything right away."

Therefore, it is very likely that all your efforts will be in vain, and even become a sword that you handed over to the enemy.

Xie Zhao said: "I understand."

Even if you know that the road ahead is a sea of ​​swords and flames, you still have to be desperate?

Liu Ruxuan choked and didn't know what to say for a moment.She looked at Xie Zhao with a pityful look, was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Then, as you wish."

Xie Zhao got what he wanted, and strode out of the palace without daring to delay.At the gate of the palace, Liu Ruxuan's people had already prepared the horse for him, and thoughtfully arranged a small package containing dry food and handed it over.

After thanking him, Xie Zhao got on his horse and headed straight north.

This trip was so important that he finally decided to go himself.

Thinking of Liao Qingfeng, whom he hadn't seen for a long time in Yanding, Xie Zhao's eyes became brighter and firmer.

It's a pity that things didn't go well, Liu Ruxuan was still right.

"Call-"

Reining in the horse and stopping, Xie Zhao looked at the people in front of the city gate, his expression gradually becoming ugly.

The city gate was closed tightly, Wan Xu leaned against the city wall and looked over with a smile.

Seeing that there was no smile on Xie Zhao's face, he couldn't help but cheer up, and started teasing people again: "Master Xie came too late, which caused Master Cui and I to wait too long, and now we are full of premature dews. "

Zuojin Wuwei Cui Boxiu didn't want to hear Wan Xu's chatter, so he sneered and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Xie to be so capable that he can talk to the Empress Dowager."

Thinking of the young queen mother, he sneered, showing no respect at all: "After all, she is still young, she is still naive, and she hasn't hit the south wall enough."

Squinting his eyes and scanning the baggage behind Xie Zhao, Cui Boxiu asked, "Is the thing inside?"

He clapped his hands, and soon several strong Jinwu guards stood up, surrounded Xie Zhao and his men and horses, and all of them were staring at the ordinary-looking gray package.

The atmosphere was deadlocked for a moment.

After a while, it was Xie Zhao who made the first move.

He took off the bag and held it in his hand, and turned upside down in front of everyone: "Want this?"

So everyone's eyes moved up and down following the burden.

What they want to take is in this gray bag.

Immediately afterwards, to everyone's surprise, the slender and white hands threw the burden that they regarded as a treasure, and it fell straight to the ground in the distance!

——Xie Zhao actually threw away the baggage containing the dispatch order!

This action stunned everyone present.

After reacting, several Jinwu Guards had already rushed towards the place where the burden fell.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xie Zhao pulled the reins, suddenly drove his horse through the encirclement, and ran straight towards the gate of the city!

Wan Xu was startled, and immediately reacted: Xie Zhao is making a fuss, planning to run out of the capital while taking advantage of the chaos!

"little tricks."

Cui Boxiu squinted his eyes and watched the scene for a long time, and finally couldn't hold back a contemptuous smile at this time.

Those who can become Zuo Jinwu Guards will not be without some skills.

No one could tell whether Xie Zhao's horse ran faster or Cui Boxiu's sword was faster.

The others present only heard a clear cry from the sword coming out of its sheath, and a short while later heard a miserable and sharp neighing of a horse. Looking closely, Xie Zhao's horse had a pair of front hooves chopped off!

A good bay red horse was abandoned just like that.

Fortunately, Xie Zhao reacted quickly, and when he was thrown away by the horse, he used skillful strength, turned his waist, and turned over abruptly in the air, with his clothes fluttering, he barely landed on the ground, unscathed.

Seeing that Xie Zhao staggered a few times and then stood firm, Wan Xu's eyes lit up, and he praised with a smile: "Master Xie is really charming, and he has the legacy of General Xie."

Xie Zhao looked at Cui Boxiu with a cold face, and raised his eyebrows: "Master Cui is good at swordsmanship."

Cui Boxiu put the blood-stained sword back into the scabbard.

Reaching out to take the gray bundle picked up by Jin Wuwei, he was not in a hurry to open it, but looked at Xie Zhao, and said with regret and appreciation, "Master Xie should go to the martial arts exam."

The skills are really good.

Xie Zhao was noncommittal, and asked Wan Xu, "Is all of this a setup by Master Wan?"

He has a quick mind. He heard Wan Xu say a word just now, and he guessed everything in twos and threes: "... Li Ying was used by you to lure me into the game?"

Pop, pop, pop.

Wan Xu applauded: "Yes, you guessed it right, but unfortunately there is no gift."

He smiled: "I know you don't trust us, so we let your people see Li Ying's disappearance with their own eyes—it seems that I know you very well, and I don't know if I can still be your partner in the last few days." Friends and friends?"

The last days.

Xie Zhao repeated these words in a low voice, his eyes rolled up, and he smiled brightly: "Forget it, if you want to be Xie's confidant and guest, your intelligence is still lacking."

What does this mean?

Xie Zhao's face in front of him was as calm and handsome as ever, but in Wan Xu's eyes, it was even more hateful than ghosts.His complexion changed, and he suddenly realized that he grabbed the gray bundle from Cui Boxiu's hand, and then shook off all the contents inside.

Wan Xu's face turned dark when he saw a pile of miscellaneous pastries and sweets on the ground.

He turned his face and gritted his teeth: "There is no dispatch order—"

been played!

"Master Li hastily hid himself not far from the capital, so impatient, as if he was afraid that I would not be fooled."

Xie Zhao sighed, "It's pitiful for you to work so hard, but I'd like to teach Xie Zhao not to accept everyone's wishes, and come to accompany you to perform a performance, so that everyone can have a good time."

The sun rose, and after some tossing, there was already light in the sky.

Xie Zhao covered his mouth and yawned, wiped away the tears that didn't exist in the corners of his eyes, and said to himself in a volume that everyone could hear: "I sacrificed my sleep time to act this time. It's a loss. I won't play next time."

And next time?

Wan Xu's face was gloomy: "It seems that Mr. Xie didn't take the lives of Mr. Liao and Xie Jiajun seriously at all. Fortunately, Mr. Liao still regards Mr. Xie as a life-and-death friend."

"Liao Qingfeng is of course my best friend."

Xie Zhao didn't look at him any more, and walked slowly towards the Forbidden Court, while casually dropping a sentence: "I've let you down, I've already given away what should be given away."

What should I send?When did he send it out?

Wan Xu and Cui Boxiu, who had been secretly watching Xie Zhao for the past few days, looked at each other, frowning and feeling confused.

The author has something to say: Master Xiao Xie acted with Xiao Pei in a play with true feelings.
