Chapter 542 Someone rebels again?

Eunuch He entered the palace by virtue of his identity, but could not see the little emperor.

It was midnight at that time, and the little emperor was just about to go to bed. Queen Ma stayed by the bed, looking conscientious, leaning on her elbow to keep vigil for the little emperor.

Of course, it was not her turn, as the emperor's wife and the mother of a country, to do such work as keeping vigil.

But during the day, her father had repeatedly warned her that she must guard the emperor and not let outsiders disturb him on the grounds of being considerate of his excessive grief.

Especially the people from Shen Qing's side, and Eunuch He.

If she slept at night, if someone came to report her, His Majesty would definitely be alarmed.

Your Majesty is soft-hearted and listens to the late emperor's words. He values ​​Shen Qingzhi and Eunuch He. Even if he doesn't want to see them anymore, he can accept them after a couple of tough times.

So Queen Ma could only kick out the little maids, and squatted beside the bed to do the work of a maid on night watch.

In this way, if anyone wants to communicate, they have to go through her first. If she returns on behalf of His Majesty, Your Majesty will not see anyone.

Sure enough, Eunuch He came into the palace, and the queen asked Eunuch He to come back tomorrow on the grounds that Your Majesty was too sad and had just rested after being told by the imperial doctor to rest.

Eunuch He was unwilling to give in, but if he barged in directly, it would really be inconsistent with etiquette, so he said that he would wait outside and notify him when His Majesty wakes up.

After waiting, Shen Qingzhi also received the letter and came to the palace. So the two of them waited outside and discussed it.

Shen Qingzhi said worriedly: "Your Majesty has always remembered the late emperor's instructions, but this time he did not know what slander he heard, and he actually wanted to take away Xie Yuan's military power."

Eunuch He also sighed and said:

"What else could it be... Princess Huaizhen died? Someone must have made a fuss about Xie Yuan being the murderer. If Xie Yuan was really the murderer, His Majesty would have ignored the late emperor's instructions, let alone seizing the military power and killing her. It’s possible for all nine clans.”

Shen Qingzhi's chest froze. He looked around and saw that it was late at night and there were few people in the palace.

He approached Eunuch He, lowered his voice and complained:

"It's impossible if you think about it. Xie Yuan is a girl. Didn't you say that His Majesty knows about this? He knows, how can he listen to other people's words, saying that Xie Yuan is dissatisfied with the princess for not observing women's ways and causing her to lose face? , so you’re talking nonsense like killing her in a fit of rage?”

Eunuch He said in his heart: If our Majesty were such a smart person, he wouldn't be so soft-hearted that he would lose his opinion. He can change his mind every day with just a few words, and he can always say "You're right"!

But could he say this clearly? He couldn't... He was also angry, so he rolled his eyes fiercely at Shen Qingzhi and said:

"Why are you telling me this? I'm not His Majesty. Is it okay for you to make such a fuss with me? Go in and talk to Your Majesty later."

Shen Qingzhi knew that he was impatient, so he was generous and did not take his bad attitude to heart. Instead, he softened his tone and asked:

"Have you found any clues to the case? If you close the case as soon as possible, this matter will be over as soon as possible."

Eunuch He folded his hands and said, "How can it be so easy..."

He paused and said:

"I also know this truth. Only when the truth about this case comes to light as soon as possible can the court be stable. However, there are clues and speculations, but there is no evidence and it is difficult to find evidence... After thinking about it, I am afraid that there is no way to report it to His Majesty. Already."

Shen Qingzhi asked: "Then... how can Xie Yuan's charges be cleared? Is this a stain after all? Is she going to have to be pestered all the time to stumbling upon her?"

Eunuch He was asked, and the two of them were silent for a while, both a little worried.

Suddenly, a large number of imperial guards poured in from outside, bypassed them, surrounded the gate of the harem, and blocked them from outside.

Shen Qingzhi and Eunuch He were both shocked when they saw this change.

He Gonggong recognized the leader of the guards and asked: "Hou Ying, why is this?!"

The man was from Shi Ji. After hearing this question, he raised his chin and replied coldly:

"Xie Yuan launched an army to rebel. The rebels are being surrounded and suppressed outside the palace. Unexpectedly, something happened. I have been ordered by the commander-in-chief to protect your majesty's safety."

"What did you say?!" Eunuch He and Shen Qingzhi asked in unison.

Hou Ying chuckled lightly and asked: "...Do you two not know, or are you pretending not to know?"

Shen Qingzhi said angrily:

"Fuck your mother, Xie Yuan will never rebel! I think it was Shi Ji who wanted to rebel but framed her instead! Let me tell you, the three camps outside the city are not for show. If you dare to touch your majesty today, No matter what, tomorrow the army will attack the city and cut you into pieces!"

Eunuch He also thought this was a possibility. He looked at Hou Ying and sneered, saying:

"Don't you think that as long as you enter the palace and control His Majesty, everything will be fine?!

You are really confused... Unless you kill us two old guys, you will not be able to convince the public, whether in the court or among the people... Oh, if you kill us, you will be even less able to stand."

As Eunuch He spoke, a look of sinisterness flashed across his face. He changed the topic and pointed at Hou Ying and said:

"If you want to rebel, don't look at who you are! Do you really think you can answer a hundred questions?!"

Hou Ying rolled his eyes and said:

"We have been ordered to protect Your Majesty!... It seems that you are indeed a group of traitors. Come, capture these two people and let Your Majesty deal with them!"

When Eunuch He heard this, he laughed angrily and said:

"You really think that our Supervision Department is just a decoration. Hou Ying, you are a filial son. You get up every morning, grind a bowl of soy milk for your mother, put it in a copper bowl and send it to her. At night, you also beat it for her. back.

Do you believe it or not, when you go back, you will see a knife in your mother's heart?"

Hou Ying suddenly opened his eyes in horror, looking at Eunuch He in panic.

He was just a little person who followed orders, and no one in the capital even heard about his family affairs, but Eunuch He knew all the family treasures and told them so easily.

Hou Ying suddenly felt horrified... He believed that what Eunuch He threatened him was not just a threat, they could really do it.

He was frightened, his eyes shook violently, and he stretched out his hand to stop his men's movements, but he didn't know what to do next.

At this time, because there was such a loud noise outside, which scared the eunuchs and maids inside, the little emperor was still shocked.

He suddenly sat up from the bed and asked, "What happened?"

The little eunuch said anxiously: "I didn't hear you clearly. Many guards came outside and started a quarrel with Eunuch He and Shen Guozhu. It seems that someone has rebelled again."

"Is there someone rebelling again?" the little emperor asked in panic, almost crying.

When Queen Ma heard this, she was so frightened that she stood next to the little emperor and stammered:

"My father is here, Your Majesty. My father will send people to protect us."

The little emperor didn't seem to listen, but his eyes were straightened, his body was trembling slightly, and he murmured:

"...They killed the imperial sister and are coming to kill me again..."
