The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 425 Time is running out
The news that Hua Ye was made the regent spread all over the streets and alleys of Kyoto in less than an hour.

The harem received the news earlier.

The queen was originally restless and restless, so she had to find something to distract herself. When she saw a large camellia plant she raised bloomed, she took small scissors to trim the flowering branches of the tea tree.

"Empress Empress! Something serious happened!"

Fang Xin ran in from the door in a hurry, and shouted at the queen.

The queen shook her hands in fright, and cut off the best flower.

Seeing the huge flowers fall to the ground, the Queen's heart skipped a beat for some reason.

She frowned and looked at Fang Xin and reprimanded: "What's the matter that made you flustered? What's the matter with you? Is this how I usually teach you to behave?"

Seeing this, Fang Xin hurriedly knelt down, "Queen Empress, calm down! It's the servant who was reckless, but something really happened..."

"Tell me! What's going on?" the queen asked impatiently.

Fang Xin hesitated and said: "It's King Ming... His Majesty just issued an order to make King Ming the Regent."

"what?!"

The queen was startled, and the scissors in her hand came out and hit the ground straight.

Fang Xin was taken aback, "Mistress, be careful!"

The queen suddenly regained her senses and took a step back, the scissors just stuck on the carpet.

If she reacted a little slower, she might be stuck on her feet.

The queen looked at the pair of scissors with lingering fear in her heart, and backed away again and again, until she supported one side of the soft couch, she groped and sat down.

Fang Xin quickly pulled out the scissors on the ground, closed them and put them aside.

"Miss, are you alright?"

Fangxin looked at the queen worriedly, and seeing her pale face, her heart ached.

The queen shook her head, staring at the hole in the ground in dismay, and remained silent.

Fang Xin didn't know what to say, so she could only stand on the side worriedly.

After a long while, the queen finally moved, she said to Fangxin as if she had just woken up from a dream: "Go and call Wu Qiushi here."

Fang Xin bowed her body, "Yes, servant girl is going!"

Seeing Fangxin turned around to leave, the queen hurriedly called her back: "Wait! Don't go now, let him come over at night, don't let other people find out, you go to him in person, let him be careful, don't be caught Keep an eye on it!"

"Yes."

Wu Qiushi is the queen's bodyguard, and he has been with the queen since he was a child. Later, when the queen entered the palace, he was promoted to be the queen's confidant commander.

Who is the queen's most trusted person in this palace?That must be Wu Qiushi, even Fangxin must be ranked behind him.

Fangxin waited for a long time but did not get the queen's words, she couldn't help asking: "What is your empress looking for Wu Qiushi for? Is there anything you want to tell him to do?"

The queen glanced at her and said in a low voice: "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask. People who know too much in the palace often end badly. I don't tell you because I want to protect you, so don't ask."

Fang's heart tightened, and she hurriedly said: "Yes, this servant knows."

……

It was just getting dark, and the guards were changing shifts. Fangxin took advantage of this gap to find Wu Qiushi's residence, and happened to see him eating.

Seeing Fangxin push the door in, Wu Qiushi joked: "You just come in without knocking, you won't be afraid that I'm changing clothes, if you see something you shouldn't see, you'll have to marry me."

"When is it and you are still in the mood to joke with me?" Fang Xin closed the door behind her backhand.

Her vigilant appearance aroused Wu Qiushi's curiosity, "What's the matter? What happened? Why are you sneaking around?"

Fang Xin went to the table and pulled his arm and said: "Don't ask so many questions, the empress asked me to call you, so hurry up and follow me."

"The empress is looking for me, so just send someone to pass on a message, why bother you to go there yourself?"

Wu Qiushi stood up while talking, and Fang Xin pulled him towards the door, "I'll go out first, you will come out later, don't be discovered by others, you should be careful, avoid the eyeliner and come to the empress's bedroom by yourself. No?"

Seeing her so serious, Wu Qiushi also put away his playfulness, frowned and said, "Is it the empress who has something urgent to ask me?"

"I don't know exactly what's going on, time is running out, I don't have time to say so much, I'm leaving first, come here quickly!"

After Fang Xin finished speaking, she gently opened the door, glanced around, and saw that there was no one around, so she walked out boldly.

After Fangxin left, Wu Qiushi pushed open the door and took a look. At this time, it was the vacancy of the rotation, and the next guard was coming soon.

He looked back at the meal he hadn't finished, and couldn't care less, closed the door, tidied his clothes, and followed with strides.

As soon as Fangxin returned to the queen's palace, Wu Qiushi arrived on the back.

"The humble Wu Qiushi, see the empress, the empress is a thousand years old!"

"Fangxin closes the door, you watch outside the door and don't allow anyone to approach."

"Yes." Fangxin took a look at Wu Qiushi who was kneeling on the ground, walked out quickly, closed the hall door, and stood on the porch to watch over them.

"Get up, I have called you here today because I have something important to entrust to you."

The queen took out the red shirt that Xiao Yu gave her before from the closet and said: "In a while, you find an excuse to go out of the palace and give this dress to the shopkeeper of Qingyun Restaurant. You tell him that this dress is a gift from an old friend. He can understand the words on it."

Wu Qiushi got up and took the thin outer shirt, which was very light, he could stuff it into his lapel without being noticed.

Although he was curious, he also knew what to ask and what not to ask, so he just said: "The humble job will definitely be done well, the empress can rest assured."

The queen said with emotion: "You can rest assured that I will handle the matter. You and I have grown up together. Your status in this palace is extraordinary. This matter is of great importance. I can only leave it to you. Only this palace can rest assured, you must never mention this matter to the second person, it must rot in your stomach."

The queen looked extremely serious, and her eyes were extremely cold.

Wu Qiushi hadn't seen the queen like this for a long time, and only after hearing what she said did he truly realize the seriousness of this incident.

He lifted his robe and knelt down and said to the queen: "Your Majesty, don't worry, a lowly position will not disgrace your life."

The queen stretched out her hand to support him and said, "It's not too late, you go tonight."

"Yes." Wu Qiushi got up, clasped his fist at the queen, turned and left.

The queen looked at his leaving back, and exhaled softly, "I hope there is still time..."

Wu Qiushi took advantage of the night to sneak into the patrol team. He has been in the palace for so many years and has a wide network of contacts. It is not difficult to get out of the palace.

After he changed his clothes and pretended to leave the palace, he didn't go to the main entrance of Qingyun Restaurant. He went around in circles all the way in the alleys, making sure no one followed him, and then sneaked to the back door of Qingyun Restaurant.
