"Can you scare others to death? Can you scare you to death?" Zuo Yanqing's face showed a rare happy smile: "I see, like your grandmother, you are all the Hengling seeds who are fearless. They were born to scare others. How could others scare you?"
When Lu Yun heard this, he felt at first relieved, and he had indeed bet right. Bao Shu, the former deputy commander of the guard of the Great Inner Guard, told him that Zuo Yanqing was originally the leader of the guard of Princess Jinling of the Western Qin, and later Princess Jinling was forced to marry Emperor Gaozu. In order to fulfill the instructions of the King of the Western Qin, Zuo Yanqing went to the palace to serve the princess, and thus became the subordinate of Emperor Gaozu. Therefore, Bao Shu judged that this person was probably not loyal to Emperor Gaozu, nor to Daxuan, but to the Empress Dowager. Even if he wanted Yin Luyun, he would not mention the Empress Dowager's name.
Zuo Yanqing mentioned the Empress Dowager's name, which was actually hinting at Lu Yun's position.
"My grandmother, I can be safe now..." Lu Yun's expression darkened and could not hide the deep longing in his eyes.
"No, very bad." Zuo Yanqing also looked gloomy and said quietly: "I wonder if you have the courage to meet her?" He smiled relievedly and said: "I was worried about it, but now it seems that you must have the courage."
"Yes." Lu Yunzheng said with a slight head: "Since I returned to Beijing, I have always had this plan, but I was struggling to have no chance. I was thinking about whether to break into the Forbidden Palace at night and try it out."
"Don't." Zuo Yanqing shook his head slowly and said, "There is a great master in the palace."
"Did you mean Du Hui?" Lu Yun asked softly.
"No, there is also a royal family named Huangfu Pixian. The commander of the Yulin Guard Huangfu Kang is only the nominal commander of the Great Inner. In fact, he is responsible for the defense in the palace." Zuo Yanqing said lightly: "With your current cultivation level, as long as you enter Ziwei Palace, he will discover it."
"Oh, that's right..." Lu Yun couldn't help but feel scared. He really planned to visit the Forbidden Palace at night in the near future. In addition to secretly looking at the empress dowager, he also wanted to touch the defense of the palace. Fortunately, Zuo Yanqing reminded him, otherwise he would have to backfire.
"But your Highness don't have to worry. No matter how you say that Enke this time, he thought it was set up in the name of the Queen Mother's prayer. When the Queen Mother heard that you were excluded by the Xiahou Valve, he thought that the holy product was rare and did not want you to sink into it. So I wanted to see you and encourage you, which is also the meaning of the question."
"That's great. I'll wait for my father-in-law to make an arrangement." Lu Yun was happy when he heard this.
"Well, wait a while, when you just came here and met our house, you will go to see the Queen Mother immediately, which makes people think too much." Zuo Yanqing gently put down the teacup and said with the intention of seeing off the guests: "In addition, if you want to take revenge, our family will not stop you, but you should remind your highness, "Your surname is Huangfu or Lu, don't treat all the surname Huangfu as enemies."
"I'll keep it in mind." Lu Yun bowed deeply, stood up and left the side hall.
Zuo Yanqing sat upright on the cushion, drinking tea on his own, without any intention of giving it to him.
.
Lu Yun came out of the side hall and saw Eunuch Cao waiting at the door of the back garden. He knew that the scene of mother and son meeting was not over yet.
He stepped into the Sanqing Hall, took a stick of incense from the little Taoist boy, respectfully inserted it into the incense burner, and bowed three times to the Sanqing Taoist ancestor. Then he sat quietly on the cushion, listened to the melodious bell, closed his eyes and calmed down.
To be honest, although he never regrets breaking off the engagement with Xiahou Yanran, his heart has been shrouded in thick clouds.
Although he had no contact with his tribe members, he could also hear from the rumors that the land franchises now have a lot of resentment towards him and his son, believing that they provoked the Xiahou clan, causing the whole tribe to be in turmoil. Although the lord and several deacons are still supporting their father and son, over time, it is difficult to guarantee that they will change their course for the so-called overall situation and sacrifice their father and son in exchange for the understanding of the Xiahou clan.
After all, I am really weak and pitiful than the Xiahou clan. There is no one around me who can be used except Lu Xin and Bao. My martial arts are also stuck at the bottleneck, and the breakthrough is nowhere to be achieved... The so-called name of a holy product, without the ability to endorse, can only become a target for trouble.
On the other hand, the Chu Shi Emperor was obviously more anxious than he expected. He thought the Chu Shi Emperor would delay it for a year or two before launching it, but he didn't expect that as soon as the competition ended, he couldn't wait to push himself and the eldest prince out, using the two as chess pieces and fighting with Xiahou Ba.
This will undoubtedly make the immediate crisis even more serious. Not to mention revenge, even self-protection has become a big problem. Although Lu Yun has the idea of ​​being temporarily rested, how can he say that he has not had to avoid the limelight because of his lack of good intentions?
That's why Lu Yun took the risk to see Zuo Yanqing to see if he could take the step of seeking life in death. Now it seems that this step is the right one, and Zuo Yanqing has been waiting for him to come to see him, and he is loyal to the Queen Mother!
He could clearly feel that the situation did not want to look so desperate. In this smoky and chaotic Luodu city, there were still some people and some forces who did not join the gang of traitors, and were still loyal to his father, loyal to the emperor and grandmother, and also loyal to himself!
As a result, it swept away the haze in Lu Yun's heart for several days, and it seemed that even his five senses became much more keener than usual. He clearly felt that Huangfu Xuan walked out of the back garden step by step and slowly walked towards the Sanqing Palace with the help of Eunuch Cao.
Lu Yun stood up and walked out of the hall. Sure enough, he saw Huangfu Xuan leaning on Eunuch Cao weakly, his eyes swollen like peaches.
"Have your Highness met the Empress?" Lu Yun asked with his fists.
"Get into the car first..." Huangfu Xuan's face became paler and waved his hand to signal Lu Yun not to speak first.
Lu Yun and Eunuch Cao helped Huangfu Xuan out of the Taoist temple and got on his carriage.
As soon as Huangfu Xuan got into the car, he couldn't wait to pick up the wine pot. Before he could pour wine, he started to drink it directly into his mouth. He ignored the milky white wine soaked his collar.
After a while, his face became bloody and he smiled apologetically at Lu Yun, "I was so excited that I made my brother laugh."
Lu Yun nodded silently. He could still tell the difference between drug addiction attacks and emotional excitement. If it were in the past, he might have advised Huangfu Xuan to quit this thing, but after Lu Xin's reminder, this time after listening to Zuo Yanqing's words, Lu Yun's mind unknowingly changed... He chose to ignore it.
"It turns out that my mother and grandfather have always been in contact. This is good news. If we can get the support of the guards, we are not so isolated and helpless." Huangfu Xuan was overly excited under the influence of stalactite wine: "In addition, your land fence and my Huangfu family cannot compete with the Xiahou fence, it will be fine to protect yourself!"
"Your Highness should not be proud of yourself. We are still very weak..." Lu Yun looked at Huangfu Xuan helplessly, not knowing whether this guy was really naive or because he drank medicinal wine. "They just sent a grandmaster to be our death."
"Ah?" Huangfu Xuan's face turned pale and he said dumbfoundedly: "It's not this, right?"
