Su Yan heard the wind blowing from the back of his head, and subconsciously threw himself forward, doing a standard sideways roll with his hands on the ground, avoiding the mace blow.

The guard holding the mace took a moment and was a little stunned: Su Shaoqing was reciting poems a moment ago and stood upright, he was clearly a mighty and unyielding hero, why did he resort to such rough tricks the next moment and be so gentle?

Su Yan didn't care if he was gentle or not.With his small body, his spine would be broken if he hit the mace, he would be stupid if he gritted his teeth and resisted, and he could dodge it for a while.

There is a saying that blood spattered five steps from the wrath of a man, which drove him into a hurry, and he could do something like a fish to death. The Queen Mother was only a few steps away from him, so she caught off guard and took this old lady as a hostage and dragged her to the rescue station. until now.In the worst case, I won't be an official anymore, and the Central Plains won't wait anymore. Let's pull a sampan across the strait and open up wasteland in the Ryukyu Islands.

Su Yan got up suddenly, and rushed up the steps with the corner of his robe.The Empress Dowager was still in a good mood, surrounded by three or four maids of honor, only Aunt Qiong was standing at the bottom of the steps because of the news, seeing this, she thought that he was in a hurry to avoid the whip, and shouted loudly: "The left and right are not fast enough, beware of collisions!" Queen Mother!"

The guards reacted from their astonishment, and rushed towards Su Yan in a swarm.One of the hands was long, and grabbed his legs and feet and dragged him down.Su Yan rolled down the steps with his head in his hands, and ran towards the halberd gate again.

At this time, the guard with the mace just rushed behind Su Yan, kicked him in the back of the heart, kicked him to the ground, and slammed the golden mace in his hand.

Relying on the technical moves practiced on the court in his previous life, Su Yan exploded with speed and strength beyond his imagination at the moment of life and death.It's a pity that the potential of this body is really limited now, and it's almost exhausted right now.

The kick of the vest was full of vigor, and his heart and lungs vibrated, and he spurted out blood suddenly, and the stone floor was immediately mottled with red marks.

The wind filled his ears, but he was powerless to dodge this mace, so he could only accept it with his eyes closed in despair.

Suddenly, another whistling sound of wind came from the front, with a sharp sound like a sonic boom, as if passing over his head, making his scalp numb.

Before he could open his eyes, he heard the guard behind him cry out in pain, followed by the clang of the golden mace hitting the ground.

Su Yan endured the pain in his chest and breathed rapidly.The blood foam in his mouth choked the intake pipe, and he coughed violently. While coughing, he got up tenaciously, even if he was rolling and crawling, he continued to rush out the door—until he crashed into a firm and warm embrace.

"Qinghe! Qinghe!"

...It's King Yu!When Su Yan heard the familiar voice in his ear, his heartstrings suddenly loosened. He grabbed the other party's skirt and wanted to speak, opened his mouth and coughed up blood.

King Yu saw the dusty footprints on the back of his robe, his face was dark, he raised his leg and kicked the mace-wielding guard in the chest, almost sending him flying.

"Go away!" The bewildered guards of the Compassionate Palace of the Yu Dynasty yelled, and turned around and handed Su Yan to the guards of the palace who came behind.

He picked up the golden mace, strode towards Fengjia, saluted briefly, and asked straightforwardly: "What is the queen mother doing? She even used the golden mace to beat a courtier who has no meritorious deeds. Venting personal anger?"

The empress dowager's face turned red and then white, and said angrily: "Presumptuous, you talk to the empress like this? Go back to your palace!"

King Yu refused to budge: "If the queen mother is angry because of the crime of the Wei family, it is the emperor's order, so why bother to anger an innocent minister who is acting according to the order? When the news spreads, the humane queen mother and the emperor's mother and son are at odds. Losing the face of the Heavenly family will also cause the courtiers to worry, and they will not know whose will to obey in the future. Queen Mother Wanwang think twice."

The queen mother took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and slowed down her voice a little: "Cheng'er, this matter has nothing to do with the Wei family. What the queen mother wants to punish today is a courtier who tricks the lord with clever words and tricks. Su Yan seems to be Justice is actually a rascal, and he often goes in and out of the inner palace at night, and has an ambiguous relationship with the emperor. If this person is not eliminated for a day, he will be a disaster to the emperor and the court sooner or later!"

King Yu frowned in disgust: "Why did the queen mother say that! We know that he has been an official for less than a year, but his achievements are far better than those mediocre elders who have spent half their lives! With a weak body and the ambition to help others, punish Treacherous ministers and officials, rectification of Jinyiwei, establishment of Tiangongyuan, repeated plots to solve the crisis of diplomatic relations, reformation of evils and supervision of horse administration, eradication of cults to stabilize the capital—such a young pillar, do you think he is a courtier?"

Su Yan stopped coughing, and the tightness in his chest felt better. Hearing this, he looked at King Yu in surprise: He knows all about it?Not only know, but also remember clearly.

It turned out that in King Yu's mind, he, Su Qinghe, was not just a pretty scholar, just a pastime for gossiping, his aspirations, ambitions, hard work and dedication were all seen and sincerely recognized .

The queen mother was choked, and said again: "You are a prince, why do you know so much about a small official of the fourth rank, and even praise it so much? I have heard it before, saying that you are a 'confidant' all over the court, this Su Yan It is also one of them, and now it seems that the rumors are true...it is shameless!"

King Yu said solemnly: "Mother, don't listen to rumors. The relationship between my son and Su Shaoqing is pure and clear, and there has never been any chaos, let alone a step beyond the thunder."

Su Yan: ...

Su Yan: Oh, that's shameless.

The queen mother slapped the armrest hard: "Get out of the Taimiao! Otherwise, I will personally use this golden mace to teach you a lesson!"

King Yu lifted the hem of his robe, held the golden mace in his hand, and knelt in front of the queen mother: "My son is willing to receive the teaching of the queen mother. As for Su Yan, he can't even stand the foot of the guards, let alone the golden mace. If the queen mother insists on If you kill him, stop blaming your minister for being unfilial and disobedient!"

The Empress Dowager was so angry that her brain ached, she gritted her teeth and said, "You always do your own way, but today you can't let it go. Come, send King Yu to the middle hall, and ask him to kneel on the God's Tablet of the First Emperor!"

King Yu said with a smile: "Your servant can kneel and be beaten, but before leaving, the guards of the palace must take Su Yan away. Offended, Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager was so enraged by this bastard son that her eyes turned black, she snatched the golden mace and slapped it on King Yu's shoulder.King Yu received the slap without changing his face, and still smiled with pain: "The mother taught me a good lesson. The minister has changed his past and will no longer mess with the officials. I also invite the mother to be a model for the son and minister. Yoyo's mouth."

This mace didn't hit him, but Su Yan took a painful breath as if he felt the same way.

"This matter has nothing to do with His Royal Highness Prince Yu, the Queen Mother will punish the minister—" He tried to step forward, King Yu turned his head and gave a glare, and the guards of the palace immediately dragged him back.

Seeing that King Yu wanted to protect Su Yan, the Queen Mother wanted to fight again but couldn't, so she put down her golden mace and slapped King Yu hard.

Seeing the empress dowager's red eyes and trembling lips, Qionggu looked extremely sad, embarrassed and angry, and hurriedly shouted to the audience: "All of you palace guards want to rebel! Do you obey the empress dowager's order, or the king of Yu's order? Can't you figure it out?"

The guards of the palace looked at King Yu, hesitating.

But I heard a sharp and bright voice: "Then Aunt Qiong might as well talk about it first, should I obey the Queen Mother's imperial edict, or the emperor's imperial edict?"

Lan Xi's voice... the emperor is here? !Su Yan turned his head when he heard the sound, and sure enough, he saw Emperor Jinglong walking in quickly from outside the halberd gate with a group of servants and Jin Yiwei.

The emperor did not ride in a shoulder car, perhaps he came from the palace on horseback, and his usual calm and elegant gait seemed particularly hasty.

When passing by Su Yan, he only took a quick glance, frowned slightly when he saw the little blood on Su Yan's lapel, and walked over.

"Mother Wan'an." The emperor climbed up the steps alone and saluted the queen mother.

The queen mother took a deep breath: "The emperor also came to accuse me?"

"I don't dare. I want to report something to my mother," the emperor gestured towards the side hall behind her, "and invite my mother to come into the hall with me to discuss in detail."

The Empress Dowager could teach King Yu a lesson in front of everyone, but she didn't want to conflict with the emperor, so she got up and left the couch, and walked towards the gate of the palace with the support of Qionggu.

The door of the palace was closed behind the two of them, blocking the mother and son who were talking in private from the afterglow of the dusk.

King Yu took the opportunity to get up, hurried down the steps and walked to Su Yan's side, and asked with concern, "Is it badly hurt? Where does it still hurt?"

Su Yan's chest has improved a lot from the sharp hammer-like pain just now to the nausea-like pain in his chest, and he forced a smile: "It's okay."

King Yu looked around and saw two imperial physicians quietly hiding in the corridor as if they were afraid of getting burned, so he called them over for diagnosis and treatment.

After being called by the prince, the two imperial physicians had no choice but to come over and examine Su Yan again.

"This time I really suffered an internal injury." One of the imperial physicians said helplessly, "The kick on the vest vibrates the viscera with vigor, and the heart pulse is agitated, causing hemoptysis."

Seeing that King Yu's face changed suddenly, he quickly added: "Fortunately, the injury is not serious. The two ministers have made up their minds and prescribed a prescription to dissipate the blood stasis outside and nourish the viscera inside. It will heal after a few days."

The imperial physician went to prescribe the prescription.King Yu asked someone to bring a chair, and asked Su Yan to sit down and breathe a sigh of relief.

Su Yan rinsed away the bloody smell in his mouth, drank some hot tea, felt much better, and asked, "How did the lord get the news and rush over here?"

King Yu said: "It's thanks to your young servant's cleverness. They guessed that the queen mother's summoning intentions were not good. As soon as you left, they went out to ask for help."

Before Shen Qi returned, they didn't dare to go to the palace, the only one they could find was King Yu.Moreover, the Qingqingfang where the Wangfu is located is relatively close to the Huanghuafang where they live, and Su Xiaobei was ordered by him to deliver blood-enriching medicinal materials (the ones that the woman left behind) to the Yuwangfu, so she was confused with the gatekeeper. He looked familiar, so he quickly got in touch with King Yu.

King Yu rode his horse and galloped to Taimiao, just in time to see the scene where Su Yan was kicked down, and in desperation threw out the riding whip infused with true energy, and knocked down the golden mace in the hands of the executing guards.

Su Yan was very grateful: "It's fortunate that the prince arrived in time and rescued him, otherwise the official's life would be entrusted here today."

King Yu sighed: "I didn't expect the queen mother...well, it's useless to talk too much, let's see how the emperor will deal with it."

In the side hall, the emperor personally helped the queen mother to sit down.

After the queen mother sat down, she brushed his hand away and said coldly: "Finally, do you want to plead for Su Twelve, or do you follow your brother's disobedience and rebellion against me?"

"My empress is serious. I invited my empress to enter the palace not because of Su Yan, but for another matter." The emperor took out a roll of silk paper from his pocket and handed it over, "I invite my empress to have a look."

The Empress Dowager took it with some doubts, just as she unfolded the paper, a string of flying phoenix necklaces fell from the middle of the scroll.Judging from the length, this wreath is a personal accessory for women to press the width of their skirts; judging from the standard, it is not allowed to be used by non-harem concubines.The more the Empress Dowager looked at it, the more familiar it became, and she suddenly remembered: "I remember that on Wei Lan's birthday, the Western Regions just paid tribute to a batch of necklace jewelry. She likes phoenixes, so she picked this string herself. What does the emperor mean by this?"

Emperor Jing Long signaled her to continue looking at the paper: "These two things were found from the bedroom of Mr. Vacuum Jiaohe, a doorman of the Marquis of Xian'an."

When the Queen Mother looked at it, she was at a loss, then shocked, and finally turned into fury——

She crumpled the drawing into a ball and threw it on the ground, her face was livid and her lips trembled.

The emperor stroked her back and persuaded: "Mother, calm down and take care of the phoenix's body."

The empress dowager's bright red lips twitched uncontrollably, twisted into a sad arc several times, and she couldn't speak.

After a long time, she slumped backwards on the chair, and let out a long and painful breath: "This bitch...I treat her so kindly, but she cuts my flesh and my heart with a knife! "

"Wei Shi lost her virginity and morality. After I got angry, my heart was as cold as ice, and I never wanted to see her again. If it wasn't for Zhao'er's sake—"

The queen mother suddenly grabbed the back of the emperor's hand, a little startled: "Zhao'er probably..." She shook her head again and again, "It shouldn't, it shouldn't."

The emperor said: "I originally wanted to announce her crimes to the world, but because I thought about Zhao'er, I was afraid that he would be gossiped about in the future, so I forbear to mention it. I ordered Su Yan to search the two residences of the Wei family, and she was caught. The leader of the Seven Killing Camp and Mr. He. The leader of the Seven Killing Camp was trapped by the king of Yu, failed to break through, and committed suicide in fear of crime.

The queen mother took a deep breath and said, "It was so dangerous last night? There are so many guards, why does Cheng'er take action himself? What if you get hurt!"

"Yu Wang Yi Gao is bold. On the contrary, Su Yan, a scribe who has no strength to restrain a chicken, dares to lead troops against the enemy. If the command is determined, I am quite surprised." The emperor said "surprise", and his heart But he smiled slightly.

When the Empress Dowager heard the emperor mentioning Su Yan, she was still angry, but compared with Concubine Wei who committed the crime of adultery, this anger had obviously been diluted.Her face turned blue and pale, and finally she gritted her teeth and said, "Give Wei Lan a death. Wei Yan and Wei Jun teach daughter Wufang, who led wolves into the house, and should be sent to prison!"

Until now, all the Queen Mother's anger was caused by Concubine Wei's adultery and infidelity, and it was also for this reason that the Wei family was punished, and there was no mention of the Wei family's evil deeds that corrupted the country and harmed the people.Realizing this, the emperor felt a little colder in his heart, and said indifferently: "Zhao'er is not yet one year old."

After careful consideration, the Queen Mother changed her words: "Then let's go to the cold palace first."

The emperor nodded: "Yongning Palace will be closed from now on, Zhao'er will be sent to Concubine Shu first, and she will be the one to discipline her."

The Empress Dowager wanted to take her beloved little grandson back to the Palace of Compassion, but when she remembered the crimes committed by his biological mother, she felt a little hard in her heart, and she finally kept silent, which was her acquiescence.

The emperor sighed: "If this matter spreads out, I will have no honor in my face."

The Empress Dowager said sympathetically: "Let's say that Wei Shi was abolished as a noble concubine because he violated the holy will and oppressed the harem."

"As for how to deal with Wei Yan and Wei Jun...the relationship is very important, let's discuss it later." She sighed long, as if she had aged ten years in an instant, revealing a bit of desolation and weakness under her gorgeous makeup .

The emperor saw that the fire was almost ready, and said: "Su Yan is quite intelligent and courageous. Now I am using my hand, and I would like to ask my mother for a favor."

The queen mother was greatly shocked, and waved her hand wearily: "I am too lazy to kill him, but he has spoken badly to me, and the punishment he deserves will be given. Send him out of Beijing, and go to a remote place to serve as a small official. Appear before me."

The emperor was silent for a moment, and said: "I will send him away, the queen mother can rest assured."

The Empress Dowager got up, opened the palace door together with the emperor and went out, and told Qionggu: "Go back to the Palace of Compassion."

Aunt Qiong gave her a suspicious look, and immediately lowered her eyes and said yes.

According to her understanding of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager has two extremes of love and hate. She has always acted on the basis of likes and dislikes.

But she has been in the palace for many years, knowing that talking too much is the way to bring disaster, so she just silently helped the queen mother board the phoenix chariot, and left the Taimiao under the escort of the guards.

King Yu went to the emperor's side and asked, "What did the emperor say, why did the queen mother suddenly stop the flag?"

The emperor glanced at him: "Say he poisoned you, and if you live for a day, you will have a day's antidote to continue your life."

King Yu: ...

It's really shocking that Brother Huang can tell cold jokes!

King Yu: "It's better to say that he is pregnant with my younger brother's child, please ask the queen mother to see it for the sake of the unborn grandson—"

The emperor gritted his teeth secretly, grabbed the back of King Yu's neck, and pushed him down the steps: "Get lost!"

King Yu was strong and strong, so he couldn't fall on several steps, but Su Yan was taken aback, thinking that he was deliberately provoking the emperor again with a grudge, so he went up to salute and said: "The emperor is tolerant, forgive me for the crime of disrespecting the queen mother. The minister is grateful."

The emperor looked down at him for a long time, with a calm expression, but his eyes were like lakes under the moon, shining with a gloomy and indescribable clear light. At the end, he only left a sentence: "Go back and take care of your wounds." Then he also got up and drove back to the palace.

Su Yan was still thinking about the mystery hidden in the emperor's seemingly indifferent attitude.

Yu Wang took the opportunity to put his shoulders on his shoulders, and walked out of the Taimiao together with half support and half hug, and asked, "I haven't seen my mother become so angry for many years, let me listen to what disrespectful words you said. ?”

Su Yan rolled his eyes at him: "I thought I was going to die soon, so why didn't I dare to say anything? But you, this is going to gossip, is it your own?"

"Of course. My own will not hinder me... Ha! You wouldn't..." King Yu showed a look of surprise and admiration, "Respond to my letter? Did you really say it?"

Su Yan kept a straight face and said nothing.

King Yu laughed lowly: "I think so, every time I offend you, you have to scold your father and mother, very vicious."

Su Yan felt a little embarrassed, and said stiffly, "That's not aggressive, it's true temperament."

King Yu leaned close to his ear and said in a low voice: "I don't mind, the more you scold me on the bed, the harder I get. Do you want to try again?"

Su Yan: ...

I feel offended, but it seems that it is just teasing among bad friends, and it is difficult to define whether it is sexual harassment.

Su Yan: "Get out of here!"
