After the rebirth, the queen took the Meiqiang tragedy script

Chapter 35 Dark Tide
Gu Shihai only sat in the front hall of Jingshou Palace for a quarter of an hour before walking out of the room.

He looked stern when he pushed the door open, and walked with a swift stride.Although he was dressed in a civil official's red robe, he looked like a general in armor, full of murderous aura.

The inner court guards guarding the door saw him coming out and quickly followed behind him.

Along the way, Aunt Fanghua and court ladies and eunuchs saluted him as usual, but he didn't look sideways and left Jingshou Palace without saying a word.

Aunt Fanghua's heart rose to her throat.Obviously, the conversation between the emperor and Gu Shihai was not pleasant.

She glanced into the front hall, but the midday sun could not shine into the front hall. Aunt Fanghua looked in from the courtyard, and could only see a figure sitting on the front seat, but could not see clearly the expression of the emperor in the shadow.

Ye Qinghuai was in a bad mood after going to court today, and now she had a bad conversation with Gu Shihai, and Aunt Fanghua couldn't help worrying about Ye Qinghuai's situation.She ordered the maids to go to the guards to find a ladder, and let the guards climb up the tree to remove the magpie's nest, while she went to the small kitchen to make a pot of Cuiping Green Snow tea for Ye Qinghuai.

This tea is the best.

However, as soon as Aunt Fanghua walked out of the house with the brewed tea, she heard the sound of broken porcelain.

She paused, stepped into the door lightly, and put the tea in her hand on the small table beside her.

The ground was in a mess, a jade-white teacup was broken on the ground, and the warm tea and tea leaves spilled all over the floor, obviously it was smashed vigorously.

Ye Qinghuai sat upright on the front seat, her left hand on the armrest of the chair turned white because she clenched it too tightly, her whole body trembled slightly, her eyes stared at the tea stains on the ground, as if in a daze, I didn't notice that Aunt Fanghua came in.

"I was careless. Jijiu did not participate in the composition of the questions, but in the marking of the papers. The problem was not in the leaking of the questions, but in the marking of the papers. The replacement of Shi Taiping with Wen Xinzhong is obviously a change of soup but not medicine. Why didn't I think of it?" Ye Qinghuai murmured.

"Your Majesty, don't get so angry." Ever since she was a child, Aunt Fanghua had never seen Ye Qinghuai lose such a temper. She even dared not approach Ye Qinghuai.

"This Wen Xinzhong is so capable. He is Gu Shihai's person, but he can make Chen Yuansi nod. Chen Yuansi... yes, why is Chen Yuansi so calm this time? How can he watch the Spring Festival once every three years?" Let Gu Shihai push his own people up." Ye Qinghuai thought for a while, but didn't think of a reason, frowned and murmured, "When will they both pee in the same pot?"

"Li Baoquan!" Ye Qinghuai shouted loudly, and Li Baoquan immediately ran in from the outside.

"Go pass on Chen Yuansi and let him come into the palace to see me immediately." Ye Qinghuai ordered.

When Li Baoquan saw the debris on the ground, he hesitated for a moment, but he still went.

After he left, only Ye Qinghuai and Aunt Fanghua were left in the hall.Ye Qinghuai hung her head and remained motionless, while Aunt Fanghua picked up the porcelain on the floor.In the empty hall, there was only the sound of tiny fragments colliding.

After a while, Aunt Fanghua heard Ye Qinghuai say to her, "Auntie, be careful."

Her voice returned to its usual gentleness.Aunt Fanghua stopped what she was doing and looked up at Ye Qinghuai.

Ye Qinghuai showed her an apologetic smile, and said, "I lost my temper. Did you scare Auntie?"

Aunt Fanghua shook her head, put the half-packed pieces aside, brought the pot of freshly brewed Cuiping Green Snow Tea to the tea table beside Ye Qinghuai, and poured a new cup for her. , Said: "Your Majesty, the newly brewed green snow tea."

Ye Qinghuai looked at the bowl of spring green tea, and the aroma of the tea wafted into her nostrils.When there was no tea in the mouth, her anger subsided.She laughed at herself and said, "Auntie, it is said that only incompetent people are irritable, and I am also an incompetent person."

Aunt Fanghua swallowed her heart when she saw that she had calmed down. She comforted her and said, "There is no one who is not angry in one's life. Besides, Your Majesty is the co-lord of the world. There are so many things in the world that have to be dealt with." If His Majesty is worried, there will be more annoying things."

Ye Qinghuai sighed: "But some people don't want me to worry about it." She looked at the yard outside the door, the spring was in full bloom, and the magpie flew back again, several guards and little eunuchs in the yard were raising their hands. Chasing after with bamboo poles, very lively.The cry of the magpie came from the yard, but Ye Qinghuai felt that it was not as irritable as before, but rather pleasant.

"Auntie, do you think I shouldn't worry about this?"

"Does Your Majesty want to worry about this?" Aunt Fanghua asked.

Ye Qinghuai didn't expect her to ask such a question, she couldn't help being startled by the question, and turned to look at Aunt Fanghua.

Yeah, no one ever asked her that question.

Ever since she sat on the throne, all she heard was "what should you do" and "what do you need to do". Even she herself has been telling herself this way, what to do as an emperor.This is the case every day, and I dare not relax for a moment.

No one ever asked her "what do you want to do", so that even she forgot to ask what she wanted.

Why did she want to worry about this.

"If I want to worry about this, why would I give in?" Ye Qinghuai lowered her eyes and murmured.

She was suddenly confused.

Ever since she was a child, she has never longed for the throne.On the contrary, this most precious crown in the eyes of the world has always been a disaster and a cage that Ye Qinghuai can't avoid.

It was this crown that exhausted the father's body, and it was also this crown that caused the brothers to kill each other.And it finally fell on Ye Qinghuai's head, and this incident became her mother's reminder.

Now this crown is about to become her death talisman again.

Gu Shihai's appearance just now made Ye Qinghuai really feel that if she was no longer "worthy" as an emperor, Gu Shihai would be able to commit regicide.

I'm not afraid to say it's a lie.

Today, the two monarchs and ministers talked about it for this sake, and they brought the secret rivalry before to the table, and there was no room for change in the future.

Ye Qinghuai suddenly remembered something.

"Auntie, are the guards at Jingshou Palace still Li Baoquan's Zuo Yawei? Has there been any change recently?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

Aunt Fanghua thought for a while, and replied: "It seems that a group of people were changed during the New Year's Eve. They said that some people were transferred because the Ministry of Rites was too busy, but after the new year, those people from before were not replaced. "

"Are these people listening to Li Baoquan's transfer now? Are there any restrictions on you?"

"It should be Eunuch Li's people. There is no restriction on us, it just feels like there are more people than before."

Ye Qinghuai nodded.

The Forbidden Army in the imperial city is divided into two departments, Zuo Yawei and You Yawei. Zuo Yawei is under the orders of the eunuch of the inner government, namely Li Baoquan.You Yawei obeyed the dispatch of the Ministry of War, which was equivalent to obeying Gu Shihai's orders.

Now that she and Gu Shihai are tearing their skins apart, naturally they can no longer use You Yawei's people.Even though Li Baoquan suspected of revealing her whereabouts, he was much safer than Gu Shihai after all.

Ye Qinghuai was thinking about it when Li Baoquan rushed back.

Seeing him coming back alone, Ye Qinghuai's heart sank.

Chen Yuansi was not with him.

"Your Majesty, Chen Ge is old and sick." Li Baoquan reported.

"Did you see him?"

Li Baoquan thought for a while, and replied: "I see, it's true that I'm seriously ill and can't get out of bed. I'm afraid I'll have to ask for leave in the morning tomorrow."

"Have you seen the imperial doctor? What's wrong with him?"

"The imperial physician hasn't been there yet. I heard from the doctors in Chen's residence that Chen Ge is too worried, with wind and evil entering his body and stagnation in his lungs. I'm afraid he will have to rest for a few days before he can recover." Li Baoquan replied.

The more Ye Qinghuai listened, the more outrageous she became. She frowned and said, "Too worried? Are you depressed?"

What is there to worry about?What is there to be depressed about?At most, what he was worried about was whether Wen Xinzhong could organize his granddaughter's engagement ceremony for him next month.

Ye Qinghuai couldn't help sighing: "This old fox."

Chen Yuansi fell ill at this time, no matter whether his illness was real or fake, Ye Qinghuai could no longer count on him to help deal with Gu Shihai.

But now the Chunwei list is the same as in the previous life, fraud still exists, I am afraid that the hidden danger of Chengtianmen's change has not been eliminated.

"Li Baoquan, this morning, why did you go to the official department for so long? Is there anyone in the official department making things difficult?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

"Going back to His Majesty, the officials are not in trouble. I came back late because I took a detour."

"Why take a detour?" Ye Qing had a bad feeling.

Li Baoquan replied: "There was a disturbance in front of the official department, and the servant led the champions around Wangqu Street, but did not go to Tianmen Street."

"Who is making trouble in the official department? Tell me in detail."

"About a dozen people, all dressed as scholars. According to what they said, they should be students who used to be classmates with Zhuangyuanlang, and they were dissatisfied with Zhuangyuanlang's talents. I heard that Yijia lived in the official department, so he came to block the door in front of the official department. You need to have a face-to-face discussion with the number one scholar. The slave was afraid of being entangled by them when he walked through the main entrance, and missed the audience at the upper hall, so he took a detour through the side entrance and was delayed for some time."

Ye Qinghuai took a deep breath, put her hands on her forehead and closed her eyes.

It seems that everything is still developing according to the established track.If there is no accident, tomorrow is the day when the students will jointly sign a letter.

Now that Chen Yuan wanted to report her illness, and Gu Shihai had turned against her again, it must be a situation where Gu Shihai had the final say in the court.

In this life, her identity as a woman has not been revealed, and even if the Chengtian Clan incident occurs, she should not be able to come to a dead end and be powerless.

But, can she really watch such a tragic thing happen at the feet of the emperor without moving?

"Li Baoquan, how many Zuoya Guards are under your control in the Forbidden Army?"

"Return to Your Majesty, a total of 750 people."

Ye Qinghuai nodded, thinking, there are a total of 2000 imperial guards in the imperial city, that is to say, there are still more than 8000 people in Gu Shihai's hands.

"Li Baoquan, from now on, as long as you don't have my handwritten letter or my seal, no one can mobilize your left yamen guards. Oral orders won't work. Of these 750 people, if any one leaves without authorization, I will only you It's a question. Do you understand?"

Ye Qinghuai's expression was stern, as if the mountain and the rain were about to come and the wind filled the building.

Li Baoquan was startled, and replied: "I will keep this in mind, and I will live up to your Majesty's trust."
