The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 354 Trend
Cao Lang, who has always been ruthless in his actions and consistent in his work, can be said to be a malevolent figure in Beijing.

In the past six months, there are not many official families in Beijing whose homes were seized by Cao Lang.

Cao Lang also won the appreciation of the eunuch Cao Shouli, the eunuch of the Ceremony Supervisor, because of his ability in handling affairs. From an unknown eunuch, he became one of the four eunuchs of the Ceremony Supervisor.

These people came to the mansion quietly, and Lin Zisu couldn't help thinking about it.

Especially this time, Cao Lang must have some ulterior motives, contrary to his usual high profile.

"Wangfei, this servant is under the order of Shangfeng, and I have something important to ask to see Wangfei."

Lin Zisu was apprehensive, and naturally responded politely and with a sense of alienation, "Eunuch Cao is here, what do you want to see?"

Cao Lang made a shallow salute, then straightened up, "Princess, you are being polite. This servant is here to bring a message. As it is said above, court affairs are court affairs, and family affairs are family affairs. No matter what your majesty says, we are a family with the concubine after all. In the past few days, I am afraid that Wangfei will be wronged for the time being, if there are any rumors, please don't pay attention to Wangfei."

Lin Zisu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Cao Lang with a scrutinizing gaze, trying to get some clues from Cao Lang's face.

However, Cao Lang still had a cold face, making it impossible to read any expression.

Lin Zisu had no choice but to ask tentatively: "The one who asked Eunuch to speak, but Cao Shouli, Eunuch Cao?"

There was a smile on Cao Lang's face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "There is nothing smarter than the princess, it was Eunuch Cao who sent the servant over to pass on the message."

Since returning home, Lin Zisu has always been worried.

The destruction of Qin's capital is no small matter. According to the emperor's temper, if he saw the military newspaper in Guanzhong, he would definitely relapse.

At the time of life and death, the emperor must not have any situation.

She was ready to be summoned into the palace, Cao Lang's attitude was beyond her expectation.

It seems that the emperor doesn't have a big problem, so it's no big deal. Lin Zisu felt a little relieved, and then asked: "These days, I'm only busy with the common affairs of the house, and I haven't paid my respects to the emperor and the queen. I don't know if Father's headache has ever recurred?"

This sentence is still probing, but Cao Lang replied with certainty, "Princess, please relax, Your Majesty has taken some warming supplements recently, and your body is not in serious condition."

Lin Zisu asked a few more questions, but Cao Lang didn't give her too many chances, just answered a few casually, and then left on the grounds that the palace was busy.

After sending Cao Lang away, Lin Zisu's doubts did not diminish in the slightest.

Although it was Cao Lang's short words, Lin Zisu could hear the comforting meaning in the words. If it was arranged by the emperor, it is somewhat possible.

It can be said that the order given by Cao Shouli seems to be a little unreasonable.

Duke Dun's Mansion has never had any contact with Cao Shouli, so Cao Shouli can't afford to curry favor with Xie Xi, an idle prince.

What's more, Xie Xi seems to have had a lot of quarrels with Cao Shouli.

When encountering a huge problem, Cao Shouli was lucky that he didn't make trouble, so how could he kindly remind him?

She couldn't figure out why, so she simply stopped thinking about it.

With the backing of the emperor and empress, Cao Shouli sent Cao Lang to show his favor, so nothing could go wrong.

But the situation in Guanzhong is the most important thing now.

Qin Jing had already fallen, and if Beidi sent his troops eastward, Luyuan and Hezhong would be the first to bear the brunt.

Luyuan is surrounded by mountains and can resist the enemy with danger, but there is no danger in the river. Once Beidi breaks through the defense line of the local guard, it can directly attack the capital.

Lin Zisu was very worried and wanted to inquire about some relevant details.

However, there is no definite news about this matter, except for a few words from Yang Xingyao, no details can be found.

Until dusk, Feng Renyuan, the governor of the mansion, sent a secret letter from the palace.

When the emperor summoned the cabinet, he suddenly fell ill. The royal envoy of the Imperial Hospital brought two imperial physicians into the Qianqing Palace. The three of them went in for more than an hour and hadn't come out yet.

Combined with the words from Cao Lang during the day, the situation became more and more confusing.

Obviously the emperor has an old illness of fainting, she used to treat the emperor, why this time, not only did she not call her into the palace, but Cao Lang came to the door in advance, saying that the emperor is fine?

If it was passed down by the emperor, she naturally believed it, but it was passed down by Cao Shouli, so she couldn't help but think about it.

In the previous life, Cao Shouli, the great eunuch in charge of ceremonies, had firmly controlled the palace guards and the top twelve personal guards in his hands since the emperor's funeral. Even Xie Yao, the emperor, had to fear three times. point.

Even in order to calm the chaos, Xie Yao humbly asked Cao Shouli for help.

The emperor of this life is still alive, so Cao Shouli naturally does not have that much power, but it is unknown if he has the intention of coercing the emperor.

Could it be that Cao Shouli colluded with foreign ministers, deliberately spread rumors to confuse himself, and wanted to put the emperor to death?
However, Cao Shouli did not gain any benefit at all by doing this. The Supervisor of Rituals and the cabinet have always been at odds with each other. If the two sides cooperate, the Supervisor of Rituals will definitely not gain much in the end.

Lin Zisu shook her head, denying the idea.

Of course, it is also possible that the emperor repeated his old tricks and used his illness to cover up the current situation in order to ensure the stability of the country.

But it didn't make sense, the emperor couldn't have been unaware that the crisis in Guanzhong was as urgent as a spark, and he couldn't hide it by pretending to be ill.

The military situation is critical. Once the news spreads, it will definitely cause shocks in the world.

If there is no way to deal with it by then, the situation will only become more turbulent.

Lin Zisu was a little uncertain for a moment, whether Cao Lang was lying or the emperor was pretending to be ill.

Compared with the previous life, the situation of the entire Dayan is getting more and more different.

If some of the previous changes were due to her rebirth, things like Beidi's capture of Qin Jing were beyond her influence.

The defeat of Qin Jing this time does not know how much it will affect Dayan.

Even if she was reborn, it would be difficult to see the current trend of Dayan.

At this time, she suddenly missed Xie Xi a little.

If Xie Xi was here, he would definitely be able to help her clarify the doubts.

Lin Zisu spent the night in amazement, but inside and outside the Qianqing Palace, there was a burst of chaos.

Because the emperor suddenly fell ill during the discussion, the six cabinet members headed by Qian Minzhong were all guarding outside the Qianqing Palace at this time, waiting for the emperor to wake up.

The queen was standing at the gate of the Qianqing Palace. At this time, she had lost her usual coolness, her face was full of panic, and she couldn't stop looking into the main hall of the Qianqing Palace.

It's a pity that the door of the main hall was tightly closed, and she couldn't see anything.

Distraught, the Queen called a eunuch beside her and asked, "Go and ask, it's been an hour, why hasn't Your Majesty woke up yet?"
