Chapter 18 Liu Zhongshu went to the palace to plead. He was rejected!

——

After parting with Su Yi in the bamboo forest,

Yueyue and Rusu quickened their pace, heading deep into the forest, crossing cliffs, stone walls, and rivers.

finally arrived,

In a hidden bamboo house, Yueyue watched her surroundings to make sure there was nothing strange.

Rusu beside her gently opened the bamboo door and went in quietly.

At this time,

A veiled woman walked out of the bamboo house, wearing a long green ink gauze skirt. When the other party saw that they were coming, they happily greeted her.

An extraordinarily gentle smile appeared on Xianyue's face, and she shouted: "Senior sister."

Before they finished speaking, the two embraced each other.

The other party also shouted softly: "Yue'er."

This woman is none other than Zhou Qinyi, the elder sister of Xianyue.

Immediately afterwards,

Rusu watched the two of them loosen their arms and greeted the woman: "Senior Sister Qinyi."

"Junior sister Rusu." Zhou Qinyi said and touched the other person's forehead.

Then he looked at Xianyue and said, "Master is waiting for you inside."

Xianyue nodded: "Thank you, senior sister."

After saying that, he walked to the bamboo house alone.

——

In the room, the smoke from the burning incense rises and floats in the air.

At this moment, the sky outside the house has darkened, and candles have been lit in the house. The weak light shines on Yuyue.

Xianyue walked extremely carefully to a white gauze curtain, knelt down gently, and then said:

"Master, you have been fine recently. My disciple has not been able to see you for a long time. Master, please don't blame me."

Opposite the gauze curtain, sitting was her master, named Mo Qin, who was also wrapped in a veil and the head of the Confucian sect.

She spoke in a calm tone:

"No problem, everything is fine. Is Yue'er here here for the general's sake?"

"yes."

With this answer, Mo Qin could hear the worry that appeared in Xianyue's heart.

then,

Mo Qin reminded coldly: "Yue'er, you still remember the purpose of entering the palace."

"The disciple remembers and never forgets it. The disciple also understands the master's doubts, but please rest assured, master, the disciple has no affection for the general. He just wants to complete the big plan and cannot do without the general's help."

When Yueyue said these words, there was still a trace of nervousness in her tone.

After being silent for a few seconds, Mo Qin asked, "How is the situation in the palace?"

"Returning to the master, the apprentice has enlisted Su Yi, the head of the Mibu Division, at the apprentice's disposal. It will be more convenient for him to act in the palace from now on. Moreover, Su Yi seems to be very familiar with what happened fifteen years ago.

I care."

Mo Qin looked at the chess game in front of him and said:

"He can sit in the palace and take the position of the main palace by himself. Don't underestimate him. Don't let your identity be discovered by him. Now the battle between the power and the public in the court has begun. Whether you are an enemy or a friend, you cannot make it easy.

judge."

"Yes, master."

"I have already sent people to find the general, so there is no need to worry about Yue'er. Su Xi has been used by us, so let's speed up the process and go back to the palace."

Yu Yue clasped her hands tightly: "Yes, my disciple understands and will leave immediately to return to the palace."

Just as Yuyue finished speaking, she stood up

Mo Qin finally gave instructions:

"Remember your mission and be more cautious in your actions in the future. Don't be as willful as you are today, lest you miss the plan."

"Yes, please remember this. There will be no next time. I will go back first. Master, take care."

Fuyue walked out of the bamboo house worriedly.

Zhou Qinyi and Rusu asked worriedly at the same time: "Are you okay?"

Xianyue calmed down and smiled and said:

"It's okay, senior sister, don't worry. We're going back to the palace first. I'll leave the general's affairs to my junior sisters. As soon as there is any news, I must inform Yue'er."

"Don't worry, senior sister will definitely inform Yue'er as soon as there is news."

"Then let's go back first."

After saying that, he took Rusu and left.

——

The two walked out of the bamboo forest and looked at the few people in the city walking around in the street.

She stopped, and Rusu immediately stopped when she saw this.

Looking at the thoughtful look on his master's face, Rusu couldn't help but ask:

"Empress, what are you thinking about?"

Xianyue's eyes never left the front and she said:

"Rusu, tell me, when will I be able to be as free as them?"

"Empress."

Rusu looked at the other party's sad eyes and didn't know how to comfort him for a moment.

soon,

Yuyue returned to her previous expression, leaving her sorrow behind, and said:

"Let's go, lest the people in the palace find out."

——

Then,

The two of them came to a certain place on the wall outside the palace and used Qinggong skillfully. They jumped up and followed closely behind.

Just like that...the two of them climbed over the city wall, carefully returned to the palace, and changed out of civilian clothes.

——The vertical sun..In the Palace of Longevity.

"Old minister, please pay homage to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be blessed with peace and prosperity."

The Queen Mother looked at the kneeling Prime Minister Liu and raised her hand:

"Get up, Prime Minister."

Prime Minister Liu, who had just stood up, said impatiently:

"Your Majesty, my whereabouts are still unknown. I would like to ask the Queen Mother if you can send some troops to me to find my son."

I saw,

The Empress Dowager said slowly and awkwardly:

"Zhongshu, the guards in the palace are guarding the imperial city and cannot move. The soldiers in the camp have just won the battle and need to recuperate. Now the life or death of the general is uncertain. The emperor and the Ai family are very sad, and the Ai family is also

I understand your concerns, but the current situation still focuses on the overall situation. The general is missing, and the military camp cannot be left alone without a commander. The Ai family is discussing with the emperor and other ministers to decide to make Xu Tuojin a general. What is Zhongshu's intention?"

Prime Minister Liu looked at the Empress Dowager in disbelief, anger slowly filling his eyes.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager said displeasedly: "What is Zhongshu's expression like? Do you have any objections?"

"No intention." Prime Minister Liu said suppressing his anger.

"That's good. The Aijia thinks that you have been loyal to the emperor for many years, so we will allow you to rest for a while and then retire."

"Come on, old minister, please retire." Prime Minister Liu said angrily, waving his sleeves and walking away.

Prime Minister Liu, who was mercilessly sent away by the Queen Mother, was walking calmly with his head down. When he was distressed,
