Lord and leave

Chapter 232

But they can't help it.

Now the King of Zhao Kingdom didn't know why, suddenly he didn't go to court for many days, and the common people already knew about it, and everyone talked about it in private.

An order was also issued from the palace, saying that those who spread rumors in private, beheaded!
But even if you don't talk about it outside, who wouldn't chatter with your own people at home?
In this way, one spreads ten, ten spreads a hundred, and all of them spread.

It is said that the empress is in power in the palace now, and all things need to be nodded by the empress herself, and even the memorials are now brought by the empress for review.

And I don’t know why a while ago, I suddenly issued an imperial decree to them, as if they guessed that Zhao Heng would come back soon, and the imperial decree strictly stated that Zhao Heng should not be allowed to step into the city of Zhao, otherwise those who violated the order cut.

Don't they even listen to the Queen's orders?Each of them is a man with a family and a house, with seventy old mothers to support and young children waiting to be fed. The whole family counts on their meager wages.

If they were intimidated now and let Zhao Heng and the others in, then they would have disobeyed the queen's order, and they would really be beheaded.

So the soldiers guarding the gate weighed their power and decided to stop Zhao Heng for the time being, because even if Zhao Heng couldn't get in, they wouldn't kill them on the spot now, and their lives were the most important thing.

"Master, it's not that the little ones refuse to let go, it's because the higher ups have issued a decree, and specifically said that the prince is not allowed to enter. Even if the little ones have a few heads, they are not enough to beheaded. Please forgive the little ones, sir. It is also very difficult for us.” The soldiers can only push all the responsibilities upwards, so that they can make things easier.

When Zhao Heng heard this, he raised his hand incorrectly at that time, and stretched out his hand to stop the person beside him from continuing, "Please clarify what you just said just now, what is the order from above, and who issued the order?"

No matter how bad his father's attitude towards him is now, he would not use this method. This method is too naive.

Is it just an imperial decree that prevents them from entering the city so they can't enter?If he, Zhao Heng, wants to enter, even if the gods are here, he can't stop him.

Sure enough, what the gatekeeper said next immediately confirmed Zhao Heng's thoughts.

"Returning to the prince, I don't know who issued the imperial decree, but now it is spreading everywhere, saying that the queen is now in power, and this imperial decree must have been issued by the queen." Seeing that Zhao Heng was interested in this, the soldiers, Of course, there is nothing to say and nothing to say.

This is the best time to curry favor with Zhao Heng. The soldiers want to take this opportunity to make Zhao Heng think less about them just now. In this case, even after everything returns to normal, Zhao Heng should not retaliate. Bar.

Rumors from the outside world?Zhao Heng has never believed in rumors, because he only believes that there are no waves without wind. Although rumors are basically unreliable, if there is really no such thing, where is the groundlessness?
Zhao Heng thought in his heart, it seems that it is not easy to get the information on the secret letter.

Now that the father is poisoned and the empress is in power, such an imperial decree has been specially issued to prevent him from returning to the palace?

Would it affect their plans after he returned to the palace?Who is behind the scenes this time?

It seems that his return to the palace is a good breakthrough point. The queen is so strong to prevent him from returning to the palace, so he must know what is going on.

Now the biggest suspect is him. If he doesn't return to the palace, then he will really abscond with guilt.

Zhao Heng gave a wink, and the guards on the left and right around him stepped forward, knocked out the gatekeepers a few times, and walked in grandly.

Could it be that the queen's head is loaded with grass?A few guards seemed to stop him from going back to the palace?This is simply wishful thinking, if he is so easy to stop, then he will die in childhood, how can he still live in this world now.

Seeing the bodyguard lying on the ground and passing out without looking behind him, Zhao Heng led his men into the city...

On Chu State's side, Zhu Bingling also learned about Chu Hengqing's current situation from Chu Liyue, and she screamed in her heart that it was not good, how could she not understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth?

So far, Chu Hengqing can be regarded as one of her backers. If Chu Hengqing is really defeated, then the new emperor must be the first to clean them up. Their power is his greatest threat.

But thinking about it, Chu Hengqing really didn't have anyone around him right now. There was a disaster on both sides and Zhao Guo and Wu Guo didn't support sending people to make trouble, Chu Hengqing was a little overwhelmed.

Coupled with the unsteady rise of the remnants of the princes, this added to Chu Hengqing's burden.

According to Chu Liyue, now Chu Hengqing has no manpower to assign, and Chu Hengqing has already begun to draw manpower from the trusted guards around him.

This Chu Hengqing is really crazy. He dares to touch the people who protect his safety at this time. Isn't this telling others to go and assassinate him? He has no one around him now, so he probably needs to get an imperial list. It's announced.

No wonder Chu Hengqing sent people to look for her many times a while ago, and each time said that there was something very important, but unfortunately, she didn't see any of them, and she didn't forget about his concubines.

When it comes to concubines, Zhu Bingling gets up. Didn't Chu Hengqing take so many concubines just now?Isn't every concubine very powerful behind her?Why didn't it come out to use at the critical moment?Are you still looking for her?
He smiled mockingly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes at all.

But after thinking about it, she really had to help Chu Hengqing at this time, anyway, they are now a cooperative relationship.If she doesn't help Chu Hengqing get through this difficulty now, when Chu Hengqing really comes down, it will be a great harm to "Shuiyunjian".

The business of "Shuiyunjian" is getting bigger and bigger, and more than one Qinglou has been opened. Recently, a new Qinglou was opened in the most prosperous area of ​​the capital, called "Drunken Dream" Ju", a relatively elegant name, but it is indeed the name of a Qinglou.

However, the decoration here is all designed by Zhu Bingling, which is completely modern and simple style.

When designing this "drunken dream house", Zhu Bingling also designed a few darkrooms, so that they can use it when discussing important matters together.

In addition, the base of "Shuiyunjian" has also been moved here.

Now that he has decided to help Chu Hengqing, he must act immediately.

Although Zhu Bingling is a little lazy and enjoys a little when she has nothing to do, when she actually encounters something, her movements and acuity are like a black panther, which makes people feel like lightning.

In three days, Zhu Bingling prepared everything, but she didn't tell Chu Hengqing about it, because she knew that even if she didn't tell Chu Hengqing, Chu Hengqing would know all her actions.

What Zhu Bingling aimed at was not the people of Zhao and Wu, but the remnants of the princes in the country.

Because this kind of power is relatively suitable for her to deal with.Zhao Guo and Wu Guo are left to Chu Hengqing to solve. This is a problem between countries, and it is not something that Zhu Bingling can handle. The biggest person in power is still Chu Hengqing. Zhu Bingling has no need to mess with this trouble.

As long as these domestic affairs are handled well, Chu Hengqing's great burden can be relieved, so that Chu Hengqing will have no burden to deal with foreign affairs, and in this way, he will get twice the result with half the effort.

This is the second time that Zhu Bingling and Chu Hengqing have teamed up. Zhu Bingling always feels weird. This time, the two of them haven't even met each other, so they just do their own things. In fact, they have a tacit understanding.

Zhu Bingling's task is to ensure the safety of Chu Hengqing first, this is the first, and the second is to send more people to secretly inquire about the news in the capital, to see how many of the prince's remnants are left this time, and who is it? organized this matter.

Zhu Bingling didn't want to enter the palace to protect Chu Hengqing, but she really had to do this matter. There is no valid reason for others to go, and it will arouse suspicion of others.

In desperation, Zhu Bingling had no choice but to leave for the palace and take her title of counselor.

As long as it is determined to protect Chu Hengqing, of course it is impossible not to meet with Chu Hengqing, not just a few times, basically a few times a day.Ever since it was confirmed that she was going to protect Chu Hengqing, Zhu Bingling had been mentally prepared for this, but she hadn't seen Chu Hengqing for a long time, and she was a little nervous this time around.

Reaching out her hand, she took out her belt badge that she could enter and exit the palace at any time, and showed it to the guard at the gate. This was a privilege Chu Hengqing gave her, allowing her to freely enter and exit the palace at any time.

The guard looked at Zhu Bingling's badge and didn't ask any further questions. He bowed respectfully and let him go.

For some reason, Zhu Bingling suddenly remembered a saying in modern times, that there are people in the court who are easy to handle.

The current sentence is still somewhat close to her current situation, but her backer in the court is not ordinary, it is the emperor of Chu State, which is not something ordinary people can rely on.

As soon as she entered the palace, Zhu Bingling's heartbeat started to be irregular. Now that she was getting closer to Chu Hengqing, her heartbeat also beat faster as the distance shortened.

Zhu Bingling scolded herself in her heart for not living up to expectations. Now Chu Hengqing may have no place for her in her heart, what is she still thinking about.

To forget this relationship earlier is to relieve myself one day earlier.

Zhu Bingling tried her best to calm down her emotions, wanted her heart to return to its normal beating speed, and didn't want Chu Hengqing to affect her emotions anymore, but no matter how hard Zhu Bingling tried, her heartbeat was still involuntary and irregular beating.

After trying several times without success, Zhu Bingling simply gave up and stopped doing these meaningless things. Anyway, even if her heart was about to jump out, Chu Hengqing couldn't possibly know.

She was the only one who came today, and she did not bring anyone else with her. The others were still outside the palace.

The access control of the current imperial palace is very strict, because it is an extraordinary period, Chu Hengqing specially ordered to strengthen the access control, except for the ministers of the court who go up and down every day, and some special people with waist cards, no one has Chu According to Hengqing's will, no entry or exit is allowed.

Obviously, Zhu Bingling belongs to the latter.

That's why Zhu Bingling kept everyone outside, and then she came alone to ask Chu Hengqing for the imperial edict, otherwise people outside might not be able to get in.

Looking at Chu Hengqing's study from a distance, Zhu Bingling had already asked. At this time, Chu Hengqing was reviewing the memorial in the study. Chu Hengqing was clearly in the room in front of him, but Zhu Bingling's feet felt a little Heavy, Zhu Bingling still felt that she was not mentally prepared.

Zhu Bingling, who walked to the door of the imperial study room, was about to turn around and leave, but the sharp-eyed little eunuch saw it. Before Zhu Bingling said that it was time to communicate, he ran into the imperial study room and told Chu Hengqing to go. Don't think about it, it must have been ordered by Chu Hengqing.
