The love of fast-wearing has thousands of eons

Chapter 71 071 Empress Dowager (23)
In this anxious mood, things finally began to make new progress.

"My lord, according to the report of the spies, there may be a palace change after dark tomorrow."

A man who was dressed in ordinary clothes but did not look like an ordinary person in words and deeds knelt down in front of Xuanyuan Zichen.

Xuanyuan Zichen, who was reviewing the memorial in the study, put down the brush in his hand, said after a moment of silence: "Got it, you go down first."

"Subordinates retire."

Shen Mengdie looked at the people who came and went suddenly, and nervously stepped forward to hold Xuanyuan Zichen's hand.

"Nothing will happen, right?"

"It's okay, don't worry."

Xuanyuan Zichen touched the top of her hair with one hand, and rubbed it comfortingly, but he was thinking about how to deal with this matter.Ever since the emperor became seriously ill, he had been acting as his agent to review the memorials. Except for some important confidential memorials that could not be taken out of the palace, he brought the rest back to the palace.Facing Shen Mengdie's questioning, Xuanyuan Zichen didn't want her to know too much about the dark side of the royal family, and said that the most ruthless emperor's family was the most ruthless emperor's family, which was absolutely true.

Faced with Xuanyuan Zichen's plausible answer, Shen Mengdie could probably understand the other party's intentions, so he didn't plan to delve into it.

Early the next morning, Xuanyuan Zichen entered the palace with the guards beside him. While waiting anxiously, Shen Mengdie became even more flustered as she watched the gradually darkening sky.

Just after the sky completely darkened, the sounds of fierce fighting began to be heard from the imperial palace in the inner city, and at the same time, the flames soared into the sky, almost illuminating the sky over there.For many courtiers, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. Shen Mengdie sat in the courtyard, praying silently in her heart looking at the direction of the fire, feeling very flustered.

"Zichen, don't let anything happen to you..."

While waiting anxiously like this, the sky gradually brightened. Hearing the sound of footsteps outside, she quickly moved her stiff legs and stood up.

Looking at the blood-soaked person, Shen Mengdie ran towards him in panic.

"Where is the injury?"

"I am fine."

"But blood..."

Shen Mengdie pointed to the blood on the opponent's clothes, and said worriedly.

"This is the blood of the enemy."

"You scare me."

Shen Mengdie ignored the blood stains on the opponent's body, and stepped forward to hug Xuanyuan Zichen tightly.

"You didn't rest all night, now go back and have a good rest."

Xuanyuan Zichen looked into her red eyes, and patted her on the shoulder comfortingly.

After a night of worrying, after knowing that the other party had nothing to do, Shen Mengdie finally relaxed her tense nerves, and at the same time, a wave of tiredness hit her.After rubbing her eyes, she looked at him hesitantly.

"Go."

Under Xuanyuan Zichen's caring gaze, Shen Mengdie blinked her tired eyes, nodded to the other party, and walked back to the bedroom every step of the way.

Looking at the people who left, Xuanyuan Zichen said to his subordinates behind him: "Now you send someone to deal with the remnants of the traitor."

"Subordinates take orders."

After Shen Mengdie returned to the bedroom to freshen up, she soon fell asleep. In a daze, she dreamed that Xuanyuan Zichen was stabbed by a sneak attacker during the palace change, and she was about to be captured by the enemy. Surrounded, she shouted hastily.

"don't want……"

"Have a nightmare?"

"Hoohoo..." Shen Mengdie tried hard to calm down her beating heart, feeling Xuanyuan Zichen's palm on her cheek, she turned over and hugged the other person's neck. "I don't want you to die..."

"Aren't I fine?" Xuanyuan Zichen let the other party hug him without moving, stroking the other party's hair with his free palm.

When Shen Mengdie finally woke up from the daze, she felt at a loss for what to do with her overreaction, so she had to bury her head deep in the other party's arms.Feeling the childish movements of the other party, Xuanyuan Zichen raised the corners of his mouth happily, and looked at the other party dotingly.

"My lord, all the ministers came to ask for an audience."

The butler stood outside the door, looking at the closed door, and after hesitating for a moment, he still conveyed the purpose of his visit.

After listening to the chief steward's announcement, Xuanyuan Zichen paused for a moment, then ordered the people outside: "Well, I'll go later."

"Yes." The big butler who got the news responded, then turned and left.

Xuanyuan Zichen patted her on the shoulder, and said comfortingly: "It's still early, you can rest for a while."

"En." Shen Mengdie nodded her head, and then slowly let go of the other party.

"Go to work, I won't delay you."

"Have a good rest." After Xuanyuan Zichen kissed the other person's forehead lightly, he covered her with the quilt.

Shen Mengdie grabbed the quilt, blinked at the leaving figure of the other party, and then looked in the direction of the window.

"What time is it?"

"If you go back to the princess, it's still early at noon, and you only rested for less than an hour."

Listening to the maid's reply, Shen Mengdie calculated silently in her heart, and confirmed that she had only slept for more than an hour before being awakened by a nightmare. "You go down first, I will give orders if there is anything to do."

"Yes, princess."

As the door gradually closed, Shen Mengdie slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

On the other side, Xuanyuan Zichen faced the bowing down of many ministers, frowned and looked at the people present with stern eyes.

Prime Minister You raised his head tremblingly, and finally bowed deeply as if he had made a decision.

"The country cannot be without a king for a day. Please also invite Prince Li to ascend the throne as soon as possible and take charge of the Xuanyuan Dynasty."

After Xuanyuan Zichen took a deep look at Prime Minister You, he asked the other people present: "I wonder if you all have the same opinion?"

"You will follow the example of Prince Encouragement."

"It seems that you have the same idea?"

All the ministers knelt on the spot tremblingly, not daring to make a sound.

"That's all, that's all. If that's the case, let's get ready."

Xuanyuan Zichen naturally knew the good intentions of the ministers. Unfortunately, the current emperor passed away in the battle yesterday, and other talented and powerful princes fell one after another, and the person who conspired against him was the little-known third prince.After using the influence of his mother's family to win over Prime Minister Zuo as his help, he also used his mother and concubine to secretly poison His Majesty.

Today's streets in Kyoto are full of officers and soldiers who ransacked their homes, making people panic, and Prime Minister Zuo's family can't stay any longer.

After receiving Xuanyuan Zichen's approval, all the ministers got up to take their leave and leave.

Looking at the people leaving, Xuanyuan Zichen couldn't help but fell into deep thought. "Come on."

"What orders does the lord have?" The soldiers waiting outside heard Xuanyuan Zichen's summons, and walked in quickly to salute him.

"Take someone and follow me to Prime Minister Zuo's residence."

"Yes."

After Xuanyuan Zichen took a line of soldiers, he rode to Prime Minister Zuo's mansion on horseback.When thinking about Prime Minister Zuo's rebellion, he suddenly thought of the fact that he had promised to help Mo's father and daughter.
