Chapter 242
The empress dowager in the harem, for some reason, was quite restless and panicked, as if something important had happened, she rubbed her long armor, and couldn't even drink the nourishing goat's milk and almond milk that she liked on weekdays .

"My eyelids are always twitching. Could it be that something happened in the palace?" She asked in a low voice.

The maid at the side quickly squatted down, "Returning to the empress, the palace is as peaceful as before, and I haven't heard what happened anywhere?"

"It's not that something happened in the palace, so could it be that something happened at home?" Madam Yu raised her hand and stroked her forehead, muttering to herself.

"Did your empress not sleep well last night? Are you overwhelmed with worry? If there is anything wrong, Uncle Guo will definitely inform your empress, empress, don't think too much about it!" The maid stepped forward and stood behind her, softly Fingers, gently press her temples, massage and soothe her.

Yushi sighed comfortably and was about to speak.

Suddenly I heard footsteps coming in a hurry from outside the hall, and before I could tell, the female official broke into the hall.

The maid in the palace scolded: "Who is so unreasonable?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Empress Dowager!" the female officer said quickly, regardless of pleading guilty, "at the Xihua Gate, a small palace attendant saw that Prince Qi's people had detained people from the uncle's mansion who were about to enter the palace."

"What did you say?" Mrs. Yu immediately sat up straight, "Who was detained?"

"The person who was detained in the uncle's house who wanted to enter the palace should have come to look for the empress, but he was taken away as soon as he entered the Xihua Gate, and no news was sent!" The female official said hastily.

"Sure enough something is wrong!" Mrs. Yu patted the short girl beside her, her brows were erected, "What is King Qi trying to do? Detaining my brother?"

The hall was immediately silent, and a needle could be heard falling.The maids and officials looked at her face, and they were all silent.

"Let's go, follow Ai's family for a while! Go and ask Prince Qi, why do you want to detain brother's people?" Yu said coldly, "I don't know, I am in this palace, even my brother's people Can't you see it?"

Yu Shi got up and was about to walk out of the hall.

The female officer beside her squatted down to salute, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's not important to settle accounts with King Qi now!"

Yu Shi turned to look at her, "Of course it's not just for the sake of settling accounts, but also to bring people over."

"Your Majesty, since Uncle Guo ordered someone to enter the palace since it was getting late, he must have something important to tell your Majesty. Prince Qi has already detained him, and the delay is not short. You can't give it quickly, and it's a waste of time!" The female officer squatted down and insisted.

Yu's face was sullen, but after hearing this, she calmed down.Sure enough, when Fang Yan was mentioned, she couldn't think calmly.What the female officer said is true, now is not the time to care about the detainee.The first thing to do is to find out what happened in the house.

"I went to find a master in the family, quietly left the palace, and asked what important things happened at home." Yushi ordered in a cold voice, "No matter what happens, you must bring the news back as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" The female officer took the order.

Shen Xinniang slept soundly in the Palace of Qinzheng, she was the most sensitive person on weekdays, even the palace people came in and out and couldn't wake her up.Fang Yan came to her side in a moment of free time, squatted down beside the soft couch, lowered his deep glass-like eyes to look at her quietly, and only after hearing her calm and long breathing, his expression softened a little.

Suddenly, I heard the footsteps of many people outside the hall, rushing towards the Qinzheng Hall.Worried about disturbing Shen Xiniang, he immediately got up and walked lightly towards the outside of the hall.

The palace people stood at the entrance of the hall, not in a hurry to enter, the glazed gauze hanging beaded palace lanterns swayed gracefully, the footsteps that stepped on the soft light of the palace lanterns came in a hurry, and they spoke with a slight panting, "Uncle! Fortunately, you haven't left yet, I'm afraid that if you arrive later, you will leave the palace."

On the bright yellow dragon robe of the little emperor, there were some wrinkles rubbed off by his hurried steps.

Fang Yan immediately made a silent gesture to him, "The princess is inside, she is asleep."

He looked very solemn, as if he was emphasizing an extremely important matter. The little emperor was a little surprised when he heard this, but he very cooperatively lowered his voice, "Uncle, the eunuch in the inner palace just got the news that the queen mother has taken the phoenix seal. According to Yi's decree, Yu Miao, the general of the Northwest, will be summoned back to Beijing!"

Fang Yan's expression was not surprised when he heard the words, but he nodded slowly.

The little emperor became anxious now, "Uncle, think of a way to stop it, how can we let her recall Yu Miao? One Yu Tai in the capital is enough to make people worry, and another Yu Miao will make people feel confused." Messed up? Taking advantage of the fact that I have just heard the news, if I want to stop it, there is still time!"

Fang Yan raised his eyes slowly, his glazed eyes were stained with the soft color of palace lanterns, like brilliant flowers blooming in his eyes, and his tone was slightly smiling, "Sure enough, Xin'er was right. "

Now Yu Tai's situation is definitely very bad. Although he stopped the queen mother to know the news from Yu Tai's residence, the queen mother obviously has her own channel. Since the news that Yu Tai is going to be sent to the palace cannot be concealed, their next move is It was to call Yu Miao back to the capital, so Xin'er's move to steal Yu Tai's soldier amulet seemed particularly wise and important.

Yu Miao stayed in the Northwest Camp all year round. He had loyal generals and troops, but if he didn't want to openly confront the court, he couldn't move the Northwest Camp back.Now that Yu Tai's soldier talisman was stolen, he came back to the capital, and he wanted to use Yu Tai's mouth to order the Longwu Army's left army, but it was impossible.

"What is Mrs. Shen saying right? Uncle, did you hear what I said?" The little emperor was so anxious that he was almost sweating.

Fang Yan nodded, pushed back the people around the little emperor, and whispered to the little emperor about Yu Tai's current situation.

The little emperor's immature brows were tightly frowned, and his small face was full of maturity and stability that did not belong to his age, "I see, no wonder uncle is not in a hurry, but Yu Tai's situation is not good now, isn't it just a blow to Yu Tai?" Is it a good time for the Yu family? If Yu Miao comes back, wouldn't it give the Yu family new strength? How can we take advantage of the current opportunity to severely attack the Yu family?"

Fang Yan lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Yu Tai is nothing to worry about. If Xin'er is right and there is no cure for his disease, then now he is already a useless person. It doesn't make much difference if he dies sooner or later. And Yu Tai The real pillar of the family now has changed from Yu Tai to his younger brother Yu Miao who guards the frontier and holds an army of 40."

The little emperor nodded, "Yes, wouldn't it be more dangerous to let him go back to the capital?"

"If we don't take this opportunity to let him come back and leave him in the Northwest Barracks, how can we move him? The 40 troops in the Northwest Barracks all obey his orders! He can be called the real overlord of the Northwest, and the Northwest Barracks are his minions and wings." "Fang Yan Xun Xun said in the little emperor's ear, "Only by taking this opportunity to transfer him back from the northwest, and when he is defenseless, is it better than the capital city to use his sharp claws and wings cut off!"

There seemed to be a shocked look in the eyes of the little emperor, he was stunned for a long while, and then he let out a long sigh, "Uncle is right, he stays in the northwest, and no one of us can touch him, if he sees us in the northwest, he will destroy the Yu family , it is very likely that the mercenaries will take the opportunity to rebel!"

Fang Yan looked at the little emperor with great satisfaction, and nodded slowly.

"If the Empress Dowager calls him back, he will definitely not have too many precautions. Taking advantage of the opportunity to leave the northwest military camp, he will stay in the capital 'forever', and he will not be allowed to return to the mountain!" The little emperor squeezed his tender little Fist, said with a serious face.

Fang Yan raised the corners of his mouth, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

The little emperor giggled, "Uncle's idea is right! Then let's do what uncle wants, and now I will act as if I don't know what she wants!"

Fang Yan nodded and said yes, the little emperor got up and walked out of the hall, just took two steps, stopped, turned his head to look at Fang Yan and said: "You think Mrs. Shen is here?"

Fang Yan nodded slowly, raised his finger and pointed to the inner hall.

"Sleeping?" The little emperor asked again, and Fang Yan nodded.

The little emperor seemed to have a regretful look on his face, "Forget it, she rarely enters the palace, and I wanted to say hello to her, but since she is asleep, I will not bother her! Let her sleep well, in the future... ...In the future, when no one in the palace threatens her safety, I can see her anytime!"

Fang Yan smiled and nodded.

The little emperor waved his hand, "Uncle, don't work too hard. If you want to wait for Yu Miao to come back, there is still a tough battle to fight. I'm leaving."

"Respectfully send off the Holy Majesty." Fang Yan bowed.

The little emperor and his party gradually went away, Fang Yan turned around and entered the inner hall, only to see Shen Xinniang leaning on the big pillow of gold and silver threads, looking at him quietly with a pair of black and white eyes that were exceptionally bright.

"When did you wake up?" Fang Yan asked gently.

"I woke up when the sage came up, what time is it?" Shen Xiniang looked at him with a hint of exhaustion in his eyes.

"It's time to go back to the mansion. The gates of all the palaces have been locked, but I still keep the Xihua Gate. I will hear the news when I go back to the mansion." Fang Yan stepped forward to bend over and hug her up.

Shen Xinniang stretched out her hand and pushed his shoulder, "It's okay that I'm not injured, it's embarrassing enough for you to hug me in in front of so many people, and if you hug me out like this, will I have to see people again in the future?" ?”

It was obviously a resentful tone, but under her angry and angry eyes, there was a bit of tenderness.Fang Yan smiled lightly, and bent over to put on the high-toed clogs for her personally.

"Hey..." Shen Xinniang stretched out her hand, but she didn't have time to stop him. He held her white cotton socks with his warm and slightly rough hands, and she felt a slight tremor in her heart.

He even put on her shoes so delicately and gently.

Shen Xinniang's eyes couldn't help but a warm smile appeared.

She insisted on refusing to be hugged by him, and the two of them walked out of the Hall of Qinzheng together.After taking a nap in the palace for a while, on the carriage back home, Shen Xiniang finally felt better, not as tired as before.
