Chapter 542 Another Rebellion?
Eunuch He entered the palace with his own identity, but he couldn't see the little emperor.

At that time, it was midnight, and the little emperor was about to fall asleep.Empress Ma stood by the bed, with a conscientious appearance, resting her arms on her elbows, watching the night for the little emperor.

Of course, it is not up to her, the emperor's official wife and the mother of a country, to do such work as night watch.

But during the daytime, his father had repeatedly instructed her to guard the emperor, and not to let outsiders disturb him on the grounds of being considerate of his excessive grief.

Especially the people from Shen Qingzhi's side, and Eunuch He.

If she fell asleep at night, if someone came to report, it would definitely alarm His Majesty.

His Majesty was soft-hearted, and listened to the late emperor's words, and valued Shen Qingzhi and Eunuch He.Even if he didn't want to see her again, he would still be able to comply after a couple of soft and hard soaks.

So Empress Ma could only throw all the little maids out, and squatted on the side of the bed by herself, doing the work of the night watch maids.

In this way, if anyone wants to communicate, they have to go through her first.If she returns for His Majesty, His Majesty will not be able to see anyone.

Sure enough, Eunuch He came into the palace, and the empress told Eunuch He to come back tomorrow on the grounds that His Majesty was too sad and the imperial physician ordered him to rest, and he had just rested.

Eunuch He was not reconciled, but if he broke in directly, it would be against etiquette, so he said that he was waiting outside, and when His Majesty woke up, he would be notified.

Waiting and waiting, Shen Qingzhi also received the letter and entered the palace.So the two of them were outside, waiting and discussing.

Shen Qingzhi said worriedly: "Your Majesty always remembers the late Emperor's entrustment, but this time I don't know what kind of slander I heard, but I want to take Xie Yuan's military power away."

Eunuch He also sighed and said:
"What else could it be...Princess Huaizhen died, someone must have made a fuss about Xie Yuan being the murderer, if Xie Yuan was the murderer, His Majesty would not care about the late emperor's entrustment, let alone seize the military power, destroy her All nine races are possible."

Shen Qingzhi's chest froze, he looked around, and saw that the night was quiet and there were few people in the palace.

He approached Eunuch He, lowered his voice and complained:

"If you think about it, it's impossible. Xie Yuan is a girl. Didn't you say that His Majesty knew about it? He knew, how could he listen to other people's words, saying that Xie Yuan was dissatisfied with the princess's disobedience, which made her lose face , so killing her in a fit of rage?"

Eunuch He said in his heart: If our Majesty is such a smart person, he won't be so soft-hearted and lose his mind.Every day, people can change their minds in a few words, and they will always say 'you are right'!
But can he say this clearly?He couldn't... He was also angry, so he gave Shen Qingzhi a hard look, and said:

"Why are you telling me these things? I'm not Your Majesty. Can you make trouble with me? Go in and talk to Your Majesty later."

Shen Qingzhi knew that he was also impatient, so he was very magnanimous and didn't take his bad attitude to heart, but instead slowed down his tone and asked:
"Has the case been investigated? If the case is closed as soon as possible, this matter will be over as soon as possible."

Eunuch He folded his hands and said, "It's not that easy..."

He paused and said:

"I also know this truth. Only when the truth of this case comes to light as soon as possible can the court be stable, but there are clues and speculations, but there is no evidence, and the evidence is hard to find... After thinking about it, I am afraid that there is no way to report to His Majesty. gone."

Shen Qingzhi asked: "Then...how can Xie Yuan be cleared of his charges? After all, this is a stain. Do you want to be pestered all the time to trip her up?"

When Eunuch He was asked, the two remained silent for a while, both worried.

Suddenly, a large group of imperial guards rushed in, bypassed them directly, surrounded the gate of the harem, and blocked them from the outside.

Both Shen Qingzhi and Eunuch He were shocked when they saw this change.

Mr. He was recognized as the head guard, and asked: "Hou Ying, why is this?!"

That person was from Shi Ji, and after hearing this question, he raised his chin and replied coldly:

"Xie Yuan rebelled, and the rebels are being encircled and suppressed outside the palace city. If there is any change, I am here to protect your majesty's safety under the order of the commander-in-chief."

"What did you say?!" Eunuch He and Shen Qingzhi asked in unison.

Hou Ying chuckled and asked: "...The two of you don't know, or are you pretending not to know?"

Shen Qingzhi said angrily:

"Fuck your mother, Xie Yuan will never rebel! I think Shi Ji wanted to rebel but falsely accused her! Let me tell you, the three camps outside the city are just for display. If you dare to move one of your majesty's troops today Hair, tomorrow the army will attack the city and tear you to pieces!"

Eunuch He also thought it was possible. He looked at Hou Ying and sneered, and said:

"Don't you think that as long as you enter the palace gate and control His Majesty, everything will be fine?!
Really confused... Unless you kill us two old guys, you will not be able to convince the public, whether it is the government or the people. ...Oh, it's even more impossible to stand if you kill us. "

As Eunuch He said, sternness flashed across his face, he changed the subject, pointed at Hou Ying and said:

"If you want to rebel, don't look at who you are! Do you really think that you can respond to everything?!"

Hou Ying rolled his eyes and said:

"I was ordered to protect His Majesty!...It seems that you are indeed the accomplices of the traitors. Come, take these two people down and wait for His Majesty to deal with them!"

Hearing this, Eunuch He laughed angrily and said:

"You really think our Supervision Department is just a display. Hou Ying, you are a dutiful son. You get up every morning, grind a bowl of soy milk for your mother yourself, put it in a copper bowl, and send it over. At night, you will beat her for her." back.

Believe it or not, when you go back, you will see a knife in your mother's heart? "

Hou Ying's eyes widened in horror, looking at Eunuch He in panic.

He is just a small person who obeys orders, and there is not even a rare person in Beijing to tell about his family affairs, but Eunuch He is so precious, so he told it so easily.

Hou Ying suddenly felt creepy... He believed that what Eunuch He threatened him was not just a threat, they could really do it.

He was frightened, his eyes shook violently, and he reached out to stop the movement of his subordinates, but he didn't know what to do next.

But at this time, the little emperor was still shocked because the eunuchs and maids inside were frightened by such a big commotion outside.

He sat up suddenly from the bed and asked, "What happened?"

The little eunuch said in a hurry: "I didn't hear you clearly. Many guards came outside, and they quarreled with Eunuch He and Shen Guozhu. It seems that there is another rebellion."

"Another rebellion?" The little emperor asked in panic, almost crying.

Empress Ma was also frightened and leaned next to the little emperor, stammering:

"With my father, Your Majesty, my father will send someone to protect us."

The little emperor didn't seem to listen, but his eyes were straightened, his body trembled slightly, and he murmured:

"...They killed Sister Huang, and they are going to kill me again..."
