At the same time, at the Liuyang Inn, Lu Youping and the government officials were all wearing regular clothes. The government officials were distributed around the inn, trying not to attract attention.

The person who came next to Concubine Zhen was Fu Yue. When Lu Youping saw Fu Yue, he led the two of them into the inn.

"What are your orders, Master, when you call this slave?"

"Hide in the dark later and secretly take a look for me to see if the person in the wing is the Queen."

The queen...

Fuyue looked at Lu Youping in confusion: "Master, why can't this slave understand what you are saying?"

The emperor only took his wife with him when he left the palace this time. At that time, the queen also brought all the concubines to watch the emperor leave. What do you mean if the person in the wing is not the queen or his wife?

Seeing Fuyue's incomprehensible expression, Lu Youping was speechless.

How can he explain this?

If he wants to know the Queen, does he need to ask her to confirm?

This is not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of just in case.

He can't act rashly because of disbelief. What if he is really the current queen?

"Don't ask any more questions first. You just need to confirm it for me, and don't appear in front of the queen." If the queen saw Fuyue, the queen would definitely guess that she was acting like this because she had doubts about her identity.

Such an action might be remembered by the Queen in her mind.

Fuyue was full of questions, but still obeyed his orders.

Wuyue knocked on the door of the room where Empress Song was located, and it was Yunlu who opened the door.

"Aunt Yunlu, my master pays homage to the empress."

Yunlu looked back at the room in embarrassment and said, "My queen is asleep. Could you please sit down and wait for me?"

Wuyue smiled slightly and nodded in response: "Yes, I don't dare to disturb the queen's rest. I also ask my aunt to wait for the queen to wake up and tell the slave."

Hiding in the hiding place, Fuyue's mind went blank as if he had been struck by lightning. He looked at the woman at the door with dumbfounded eyes. His legs were weak and he held on to the wall to keep himself steady. Although he did not see the queen, the one who showed up was beside the queen.

Yunlu, the eldest palace maid.

OMG...

She is really the Queen, why is the Queen in Yangning City?

How did the master know?

When Lu Youping saw Fu Yue's shocked expression, he didn't understand anything, and his heart suddenly beat wildly: "Fu Yue, you go back first, and Concubine Zhen doesn't want to say anything about this matter."

Fuyue nodded blankly and was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly asked: "How did the master know that the queen is here?"

"This..." Lu Youping frowned and thought for a while: "I can wait until I see the queen to discuss this matter."

Xiang Xiang said that she happened to encounter the Queen being chased by someone, so she came to rescue her, but why did the Queen appear in Yangning City instead of the palace, and why was she in danger? Lu Youping did not dare to say anything without the Queen's affirmative advice.

"Yes, I understand." Fuyue suppressed the fear in her heart and left the inn.

After confirming the identity of the queen, Lu Youping didn't have the time to sit down and wait, so he stood at the door of the wing as a stone statue to ensure that the queen could see his hospitality at the first sight when she woke up.

Sheng Xian came to pick him up on the order of his master. The mother-in-law who was guarding He Zhiyi saw her companion and learned of the third lady's order, so she safely handed him over to Sheng Xian.

The Queen of the Song Dynasty slept until sunset. When Lu Youping heard the Queen's summons, he hurriedly bent down and trotted in respectfully.

"Welcoming ministers, please see the Queen. She is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

Although she had regained her energy after a good sleep, Empress Song looked even more haggard than before, and her hair was slightly messy: "Prefect Lu, no courtesy, I'm sorry to help you."

"It is a blessing for me to be able to serve you. Your Majesty is in Yangning City. I will escort you there right now."

The Empress of the Song Dynasty was startled: "The Emperor is not in Jiangcheng?"

"Yes, I'm staying at Mr. Yan's house now," Lu Youping replied.

In fact, he was also very confused. If the emperor came to Yangning City to observe the people's sentiments, he did not see the emperor go out a few times, let alone explain the customs of Yangning City.

Moreover, as soon as the emperor came to Yangning City, he went straight to Young Master Yan's house, as if the purpose of coming here was for him. This made Lu Youping think of countless speculations about Young Master Yan's identity.

Some say he is the crown prince of the Duke's mansion, others say he is the prince of the prince's mansion...

Lu Youping felt that it was more likely that he was the county prince. After all, his status as the crown prince was not enough for the emperor to take him so seriously.

Empress Song's gentle face suddenly looked like a storm was about to come.

Banquet for the young master?

hehe……

As a queen, she naturally knew more secrets than others. The second queen lost her health due to childbirth and died of illness within two years, while the eighth prince was weak and was said to have died when he was less than five years old.

She originally thought so, but after entering the palace for more than ten years, she had been childless. It was not that she couldn't have children, but that the emperor did not allow her to have children, which made her start to pay attention.

The concubines gave birth to sons one after another. The first queen had no children, and the second queen’s legitimate son died young. As the queen of the middle palace, why didn’t the emperor let her get pregnant when he had no legitimate son?

Once doubts exist, countless secrets that were not noticed in the past will be discovered.

But the emperor's actions were impeccable, and even though the Empress of the Song Dynasty had guesses in her mind, she couldn't find any evidence. Today, she was finally sure.

The emperor has a legitimate son, and he is born to his most beloved woman, so he can allow the birth of a legitimate son, but he will never allow the birth of a legitimate son from a half-brother. That will be the biggest stumbling block on the road to his beloved son.

After Song Empress understood everything, she was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She suppressed the rage boiling in her heart and said coldly: "Then Master Lu, let's go."

"According to the order." It was obviously a sultry day in the dog days of summer, but Lu Youping felt a chill on his back.

Even if the Empress is wearing simple plain clothes, she cannot conceal the majesty of her mother's grace in the world.

only……

He didn't seem to have done anything, right? Why did the empress suddenly become angry?

With a feeling of anxiety, Lu Youping sent the Queen of Song Dynasty to Chu Jinyan's house.

Emperor Cheng De boldly sat on the main seat in the main hall. He was dressed in sapphire blue uniforms and had a tall and straight figure. His calm and dignified face bore the sharpness of a superior, his sword eyebrows were slightly drawn together, and his handsome appearance became more polished over the years.

Calm and determined.

Lu Youping knelt down knowingly. Curiosity killed the cat, especially the curiosity about the emperor and empress. He didn't see the cannibalistic expression on the empress's face, and the emperor's face was as cold as ice. If he stayed at this time, he was afraid that he would die.

injustice.

"Queen, you are so brave, you dare to leave the palace privately." Emperor Cheng De said angrily, slapping the table.

Along the way, the Queen of the Song Dynasty's anger almost reached its peak. How could she bear to see Emperor Cheng De slamming the table with her now? So she walked up to Emperor Cheng De with a sullen face, slapped the table and cursed without any sign of weakness: "

The emperor is playing dirty tricks with his concubine. I just left the palace privately. If you want to depose the queen or behead her, it’s up to you.” Do as you like.

She has experienced life and death, but the first words she said when they met were not concern and greetings, but accountability.
