342. Confident, Arrogant Woman (16)
He knew only too well how tight the palace could be guarded. He had been here for decades and knew all too well. Although those assassins were very skilled, they could never get within ten feet of the outer court. Fifty thousand imperial guardsmen were not there for show.
It's nice to see. What's more, those experts and strange people who hide in unknown corners and specially protect the Emperor and the Queen are not vegetarians.
Xiong Minye tried various methods in the first few times, but still got nothing. Those assassins seemed to be born with good luck. They could always "just happen" to avoid the patrols of the guards and "just happen" to touch the Honglu Palace.
.
Once is a coincidence, twice is luck, and three times is intentional.
It seems that some people not only did not object to the assassination of the man who lived in Honglu Hall, but were quite happy to see it succeed. They even used their power to block the flow of information, mobilize the inspection routes of the imperial army, and secretly issue orders to avoid it.
The person living in Honglu Hall now is not an envoy from another country, but a man brought back by the Queen. Xiong Mingye has never seen the face of that man, but he has heard of his name, Ling Ziyuan.[
In the entire Nanzhao, there was only one person's will, and even the young queen did not dare to disobey.
Of course, Xiong Mingye would not be stupid enough to say this. He understood it, and so did the Queen. She sighed in her heart and thought, after all, she is still a little girl.
In order to prevent the angry girl from venting her anger on him and his brothers who were struggling to make ends meet with him, Xiong Mingye had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, my subordinates always deploy properly, but they always encounter arbitrary orders from above.
so……"
There was silence.
Huangfu Ruoshang looked at the palace ladies and eunuchs who were kneeling all over the floor, as well as the guards who were on duty tonight but were suddenly summoned to the safe and sound Sikong Garden by an order. He shook his hands and then released them, then released them and held them firmly.
Hold tight.
When she came in a hurry, just seeing the man's blood-stained arm from a distance made her heartache. Her rage almost made her lose her mind, and she also forgot her responsibilities as a queen.
She knew what Xiong Mingye meant, of course she knew!
"That's it, everyone, stand down! From now on, guard Honglu Courtyard for me. If anything happens again tonight, I'll see you all tomorrow!"
Taking a deep breath, the anger finally suppressed the fear and awe that started from habit, and the voice was firm but with a faint tremor: "Stop, Summer Palace!"
Si Qiu is the highest-ranking female official in the Nanzhao palace. The current Si Qiu originally had no surname.
Because she was with the previous empress when she was young, she was given the surname Qu with great honor. I can’t remember her name for a long time. People often didn’t call her by her name. When she was young, she called her Qu Yatou. When she grew up, her status changed.
When it got higher, it was called Qu Nuli, and then it got to the current Qu Siqiu.
She had been with the previous empress all her life, and had brought up two princesses, one of whom was the current Tai Huang. Even though the years had passed and her old age was showing, Qu Siqiu was still the Tai Huang whom few Huangfu trusted.
one of them.
Even the young queen must show courtesy in front of Qu Siqiu.
Qu Siqiu stood next to Huangfu, her waist slightly bent, not as hunched as ordinary people. She was respectful, but not deliberately humble. Her tone was rare and disapproving: "Princess, why should mother and daughter be so tense?
