The little queen is squeamish, and the tyrant of prey coaxes her every night

"Your Majesty, Lord Shangshu has arrived."

Eunuch Hai came in and announced the news, and Li Yan immediately asked someone to bring Li Rong in.

It was still dark outside, and the candles lit in the room were not bright either. Li Yan was sitting at the top, with most of his figure and face in shadow. Only his eyes were flashing in the flickering candlelight. A harsh light.

This was what Li Rong saw when he came in. He immediately lowered his eyes and stepped forward to salute.

"I pay homage to the emperor."

"Excuse me, sit down and talk."

"Yes."

Li Yan's deep voice came. After Li Rong sat down, he looked around, but did not see the other people, so his doubtful eyes returned to Li Yan.

"Your majesty, my lord..."

This is Prince Jiu'an's Mansion. He said he was here to discuss matters, but Prince Jiu'an was nowhere to be seen.

There has never been any quarrel between the emperor and King Jiu'an. In the past, as long as it was an important matter, King Jiu'an would almost always stay aside. Even though he didn't hold any position, he still had to take care of everything.

But now in the palace, the prince did not appear.

If the emperor was jealous of the prince, he would not be here.

That is……

Li Rong was shocked: "Your Majesty, something happened to the prince?"

"Ah."

Li Yan looked solemn and nodded slowly.

"King Jiu'an is still unconscious. The person hiding behind wants to use the queen to get rid of me at the same time, and also uses the chess pieces arranged many years ago to get rid of King Jiu'an. The only heirs of the late emperor are me and King Jiu'an. If we They all lost their lives..."

When Li Yan said this, he suddenly stopped and sneered.

"The Queen Mother can justifiably come out and establish a new monarch on the grounds that I have no heirs. What's worse...she will replace him herself."

Li Rong looked at Li Yan in shock: "Your Majesty, this..."

Li Yan raised his hand to stop Li Rong from continuing: "I single-handedly promoted you. I believe in your core, so I called you here because I have something to tell you to do."

Li Rong immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty has an order, and I will never live up to your Majesty's promotion and trust!"

Li Yan chuckled softly: "It's not the point where we have no way out yet. I don't need you to die in repayment. I just heard that you are not only reliable in work, but also good at martial arts. I want you to lead the imperial army and guard the guards in the next time." Miyagi, you don’t have to worry about anything else.”

Li Rong vaguely felt that this matter was about to reach an imminent end, even more dangerous than the last time the Queen Mother and the Liu family jointly tried to kill and support the new monarch.

He was able to blend in last time.

Moreover, both the Emperor and King Jiu'an were intact.

But what is the situation now?
The Queen was still in the opponent's hands, and the Emperor dared to wake up from his coma not long ago. His body must not have fully given instructions yet, and King Jiu'an was harmed like this by someone close to him again.

Father-in-law was escorted to Linchuan again.

There are very few people who can be used in the court.

If you are not careful, you will be completely defeated.

And according to the emperor's wishes, the emperor will still take risks.After a moment of silence, Li Rong made up his mind: "I will obey the emperor's order!"

Just as he finished speaking, Eunuch Hai came in again and said, "Your Majesty, the governor of Jingzhao has also arrived."

Li Yan asked Li Rong to visit King Jiu'an first, and then went back first.

When Li Rong came out of the house, he saw Jingzhao Prefecture Yin being led by a young man to go inside in a hurry. The two people glanced at each other in a hurry, nodded to each other, and then passed by.

Li Rong looked back and then left.

After visiting King Jiu'an, Li Rong returned home. It was already dawn. Fu Miao had not slept all night. He brought Li Rong a cup of soothing tea and sat down next to him.

"Husband, why did the emperor ask you to go?"

Li Rong sighed: "The emperor asked me to lead the troops and guard the palace city together with the imperial guards."

"Guarding the palace city?" Fu Miao was startled and quickly sensed something was wrong in this matter. It wasn't like anything serious had happened, so how could he send someone to guard the palace city?
"Aren't there guards in the palace? Or..." Fu Miao came closer, put her hand on Li Rong's arm, and asked carefully: "What happened?"

"King Jiu'an was assassinated by someone from the palace, and he is still unconscious. The person who assassinated King Jiu'an was an old man who had taken care of King Jiu'an for almost 20 years. This was actually a chess piece planted by the Queen Mother, and now it is used ”

Before Fu Miao could react, Li Rong looked at her and said:

"The emperor vomited blood twice and fell into coma. At this time, his body has not fully recovered. Something happened to King Jiu'an again. The Queen Mother's remnants of the party are fighting to the death this time. We still don't know what other tricks they have besides kidnapping the Queen. So this game is extremely dangerous.”

Fu Miao's eyes flashed, and the hand originally placed on Li Rong's arm slowly retracted.

She stood up and turned her back to Li Rong, thinking for a moment before speaking quietly:
"According to my husband, this situation is indeed dangerous."

She looked back and saw only Li Rong's sitting back. He picked up the tea but didn't drink it, as if he was thinking about something.

Fu Miao thought for a moment before walking behind Li Rong, gently placing her hand on Li Rong's shoulder, and looking at somewhere in the room.

"This time, the Emperor and Prince Jiu'an will be plotted by the Queen Mother's remnants of the party. If you are even a little careless, I'm afraid that both the Emperor and Prince Jiu'an will..."

She paused and continued: "But the remnants of the Queen Mother's party are in chaos, and we don't know what kind of bloody storm it will be. Husband, even if something happens to the Emperor and King Jiu'an, the throne cannot fall into their hands. Otherwise, there will only be a massacre waiting for us."

Li Rong nodded: "So there can be no mistakes in the things arranged by the emperor this time."

"..."

Fu Miao was silent for a moment.

She walked around to Li Rong and sat down. Seeing that Li Rong had a solemn look on his face, as if he was not thinking about anything else at all, she lowered her gaze, sighed in her heart, and then felt relieved.

Now that the matter is critical, it is useless to say more. We can only make a decision after seeing what the situation will be like.

After all, the current emperor has been on the throne for many years and has been dealing with the Queen Mother for many years. His character and skills cannot be underestimated.

The current disadvantage is simply because the Queen Mother has many more years. The layout was started before the Emperor had grown up. What's more, the relationship between the DPRK and the Central Government was complicated. , it is not easy to shake easily.

It would be much easier if it was truly a lose-lose situation.

If not, all the remaining members of the Queen Mother's party can only be killed.

Thinking of this, Fu Miao completely let go of her thoughts and said to Li Rong: "The emperor asked you to do this, I am afraid that the emperor will leave the palace. The Queen Mother's party just wants to use her sister to threaten the emperor. The emperor will really accept the invitation." ?”

"There is no news from the other party yet, but even if the emperor has withdrawn the people who searched openly, there should still be people watching secretly. Even if he is invited to go, he should not be completely passive."
