At the palace grounds, Lin Dagui was ordering troops. In front of him were the guards in front of the palace who had been notified.
After receiving the news from Xu Yu, Lin Dagui made the same choice, which was to immediately strengthen the security of the palace.
Trouble can happen anywhere, but it must not happen in the palace, and even more so in the forbidden palace.
The soldiers stood solemnly and listened to Lin Dagui's deep voice: "The Forbidden Palace is guarded by General Zhang Banner, but there are still many weaknesses inside and outside the Forbidden Palace, so we must take strict precautions..."
Next, Lin Dagui began to arrange tasks, mainly regarding the patrol of the Forbidden Palace and the guarding of key locations.
After the tasks were arranged, the small flag officers took their orders and left. Lin Dagui took the two small flags and their subordinates to Xibianmen.
At this time, in the square outside Jinshen Palace, Zhang Meng was lecturing his subordinates, and the commotion alerted the eunuch Huo An.
A young eunuch held a lantern and accompanied Huo An down the steps in front of Jinshen Hall.
"I said Mr. Zhang, what are you going to do? What happened?" Huo An stepped forward and asked.
Zhang Meng has a reckless personality, but he still maintains some courtesy towards Huo An, the great eunuch.
"Eunuch Huo, just now Xu Baihu sent someone to inform him that there are Liaoping rebels in the palace, and they may cause trouble tonight. The subordinates are ordering troops, so brothers must be vigilant!" Zhang Meng said in a loud voice.
"A spy? He also sneaked into the palace?" Huo An couldn't believe it.
"Exactly!"
"It's good to be on guard, it's good to be on guard!" After saying that, Huo An turned around and walked towards the inner house.
Such a big thing happened, and he had to report it to the three princesses.
In fact, the news of troop deployment outside had already disturbed Xue Baoyun.
On the soft couch, Xue Baojun held her forehead with one hand and touched her abdomen with the other hand. She would give birth in three months.
At this moment, Xue Baoyun heard the sounds of soldiers outside and Zhang Meng's loud voice.
But after all, they were far away, so it was hard to hear clearly what happened.
I thought it was a normal transfer, but there was a lot of movement outside. Xue Baoyun finally couldn't help but said: "Go to someone and ask what's going on!"
"Yes!" Yuzhu turned around and went to deliver the order.
But when Yuzhu just walked out, before he could give orders to his servants, he saw the palace door being opened.
Walking down the steps, Yuzhu said in an angry tone: "What's going on?"
After the gate of Yongfu Palace is closed at night, it will not be opened easily unless Zhao Yanxun arrives in person.
"Sister Yuzhu, it's Eunuch Huo who's here!"
Under the dim light, when Yuzhu got closer, he saw clearly that the person coming was Huo An.
"Eunuch Huo, what happened outside?"
Ignoring Yuzhu's question, Huo An said in a deep voice: "Is your Majesty going to bed?"
Yuzhu replied: "It's noisy outside, how can the empress sleep peacefully, while my slaves are sending people to ask about the situation!"
"Take our family to meet the empress!"
"Father-in-law, please!"
In the bedroom of Yongfu Palace, Xue Baojun slowly sat up from the couch with the help of the maid.
The noise outside made it difficult for her to sleep, so she simply stopped sleeping.
At this time, Yuzhu came in from the outside, hooked her waist and reported: "Mother, Eunuch Huo is outside asking for an audience!"
Xue Baoyun was a little surprised, but then she understood that Huo An must have come for something outside.
"Let him wait in the main hall!"
"yes!"
After Yuzhu left, Xue Baojun said to the maid: "Help me get up!"
Supported by two maids, when Xue Baoyun slowly walked into the main hall, she saw Huo An already waiting in the hall.
"Slave Huo An, please pay homage to your empress!" Huo An saluted and paid homage.
Slowly taking a seat, Xue Baoyun straightened his body, then looked at Huo An and said, "What's going on outside?"
"Reporting to the Queen, there are several thieves outside, and the guards are arresting them..." Huo An wrote lightly.
The reason why he didn't tell the truth was because Huo An didn't want Xue Baoyun to worry. If he had fetal force, that would be a big deal.
"Thieves?"
At this moment, a maid in the main hall reported: "Your Majesty, Mr. Lin Quanlin wants to see you!"
Xue Baoyun originally believed that Huo Anshuo was a thief, but now Lin Quan also rushed over to let her understand that things were not that simple.
"Tell him to come in!" Xue Baojun said calmly.
After a few breaths, Lin Quan cautiously entered the hall and was not surprised to see Huo An kneeling in front of him.
Lin Quan received the news from the spies, but at the same time he learned that the situation in the palace had changed, so he did not go to the government office, but came directly to the palace.
"Slave Lin Quan, come to see your Majesty!"
Xue Baojun asked in a cold tone: "Huo An said that there were robbers in the palace, is that why you came here?"
Thief? Hearing this word, Lin Quan glanced at Huo An, and then he understood Huo An's intention.
"Go back to your Majesty, there are indeed some thieves in the palace. I have come here... just to ask for your Majesty's instructions. Can I let this case be investigated?"
This seemed strange. Xue Baoyun was a cautious person, so he immediately asked: "Who doesn't want you to check?"
"The spy was originally targeted by the servants, but unexpectedly he was intercepted by the government officials..."
Lin Quan's simple explanation also allowed Xue Baoyun to clarify the key points.
This is a conflict between eunuchs and foreign ministers. You cannot be used as a weapon.
"How to investigate a case, I, a woman, don't understand, you can discuss it yourself!"
At this point, Xue Baoyun's tone became serious: "You must urge the guards to catch the thief as soon as possible!"
"Yes!" Huo Anlin replied.
Picking up the teacup on the side, Xue Baoyun turned his head and asked: "Have you gone to notify the other two sisters?"
On the surface, he was concerned, but the purpose of Xue Baoyun's question was to find out the order of their reports.
Just listen to Huo An's reply: "Reply to the queen, I will go and inform the two queens later!"
"Okay, you go!" Xue Baoyun showed a smile.
After the two people left, the smile on Xue Baiyi's face gradually disappeared, and a look of worry appeared between his eyebrows.
The matter was by no means as simple as a few thieves, but she didn't ask too much, just hoping to calm down as soon as possible.
Let's talk about Huo An. After walking out of the gate of Yongfu Palace, Huo An couldn't help but ask: "What's going on?"
Lin Quan is naturally more informed than Huo An.
"This afternoon, my men discovered a spy sent from the north, but he was arrested by Yuanyang Mansion. It seems that they tortured and found clues, and then they found out that the traitor was going to cause trouble tonight!"
After hearing what Lin Quan said, Huo An said with a serious expression: "This matter needs to be settled as soon as possible, and we must not let the ladies be frightened!"
After Lin Quan nodded, he turned to Huo An and said: "The palace guards are already arresting the criminals, you have to help me!"
"How can I help you?"
"If the guards catch a criminal, ask them to hand him over to me for interrogation!"
"They may not listen to me!"
"As long as you speak for me, how can they abandon the near and seek the far away and hand people over to those civil servants!"
"Okay!" Huo An agreed.
Since they are all eunuchs, they naturally have to help each other, so he can rest assured that Lin Quan will investigate the case.
Before leaving, Lin Quan couldn't help but said: "Okay, I have to go to work. If you catch the traitor, you have to inform me as soon as possible!"
