Chapter 52 Dilemma

Ye Qinghuai was stunned for a moment. She never thought that Luo Zichang would give such a reason. Moreover, his rhetoric was obviously not a spur-of-the-moment idea, but had been prepared before he came.

Although Ye Qinghuai was surprised, after thinking about it, he felt it was reasonable.

Ye Qinghuai has been paying close attention to this Spring Festival for a long time. He got angry several times. If Luo Zichang said it was a student riot, he would definitely not get Ye Qinghuai's order.

So he came up with such a set of rhetoric. Thinking about it, it was probably Gu Shihai's instruction.

On the contrary, in Gu Shihai's view, the one who cares most about Ye Qinghuai now is Qin Baozhu. He requested the order on the grounds that he was the emperor's darling. The emperor would not allow others to criticize him. If he cared about it, he would definitely agree to mobilize the imperial army.

If Ye Qinghuai didn't know about the students' plan, or if she really was a foolish monarch who pampered noble people and indulged in beauty, then she must have taken action at this time and personally ordered the suppression of the mob.

I have to say, it is a good plan that is sure to work.

But Gu Shihai would never have imagined that the young emperor who was supposed to be full of energy was actually a woman, and he had no interest in beauties at all.

He would never have imagined that when the students were planning to drum and petition, Ye Qinghuai would be sitting among them.

"Since they are scolding me, I have to go and listen to what they scolded and who ordered them." Ye Qinghuai said, lifting her legs and walking towards the palace gate.

Luo Zichang suddenly moved half of his body, stopped in front of Ye Qinghuai, half-knelt on the ground, cupped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, there are many mobs, and they are armed with murderous weapons, and the swords have no eyes. Please be careful!"

He spoke sincerely and showed no intention of giving way.

Ye Qinghuai said coldly: "What? Commander Luo wants me to be a coward?"

After saying that, she was going to walk out of the palace again.

Luo Zichang half-knelt and moved a step further, standing firmly in front of Ye Qinghuai, saying: "I don't dare! But now that the emperor's heir has withered, I ask your majesty to plan for the world and never act out of anger or put yourself in danger!"

Your Majesty only needs to give an order to the general to allow the Imperial Army to leave the city to quell the chaos, and the general will be able to put the matter to rest."

He was tall, and when he was blocked like this, Ye Qinghuai couldn't get around him.

Unable to break through, Ye Qinghuai changed his mind to save the country and said: "Commander Luo, my jade seal is not here. If I want to issue an order, I must have a jade seal. If you are blocking me like this, how can I give it to you?"

Did you issue an edict?"

Luo Zichang hesitated for a moment, but did not step aside. He said: "Your Majesty, there is turmoil in the capital today, and the imperial city will inevitably be affected. I would also like to ask your Majesty to move around less. I will go and get the jade seal on your behalf."

Ye Qinghuai sighed softly and said, "Commander Yi Luo, it seems that I won't be able to get out of the Jingshou Palace today."

Luo Zichang lowered his head and said nothing, but his posture was stubborn and did not move, which seemed to be acquiescing to Ye Qinghuai's words.

"The jade seal is in Yichun Palace. After all, the right-hand Yamen Guards are foreign ministers and cannot enter the harem. Li Baoquan, please run for me." Ye Qinghuai called Li Baoquan, but did not take his eyes away from Luo Zichang.

"Come here, I will tell you where to put the jade seal." Ye Qinghuai said to Li Baoquan again.

Li Baoquan quickly walked to Ye Qinghuai's side.

Luo Zichang raised his head slightly and looked at Ye Qinghuai and Li Baoquan with his peripheral vision.

Ye Qinghuai looked at Luo Zichang with a steely expression, lowered his voice, and whispered in Li Baoquan's ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear clearly: "Find a way to escape, and then mobilize all the left government guards who can be mobilized."

Jingshou Palace." Ye Qinghuai paused and then said, "Also, send a message to Lu Yanchen that Wang Lisong is in danger."

After hearing the end, Li Baoquan looked up at Ye Qinghuai calmly, his eyes a little flustered, as if he wanted to explain something, but he suppressed his words due to the situation in front of him.

Ye Qinghuai also looked at him, his eyes sharp, as if he had penetrated his eyes straight to his heart. Li Baoquan suddenly felt that he seemed to have no secrets in front of the young emperor in front of him.

This sent shivers down his spine.

Seeing Li Baoquan's eyes, Ye Qinghuai knew that he had guessed correctly.

Ever since Aunt Fanghua told her that Li Baoquan had passed news outside the palace when she secretly left the palace for the first time, Ye Qinghuai had been paying attention to who was behind Li Baoquan.

If it was Chen Yuansi or Gu Shihai, then she would have to find a way to change her to the chief steward of the inner court.

It wasn't until the quarrel between her and Gu Shihai in Jingshou Palace that Lu Yanchen got the news that afternoon, which made her speechless. At that time, she suspected that Li Baoquan had a private relationship with Lu Yanchen.

After that, she tried a few more times and found that Li Baoquan didn't tell Lu Yanchen everything. The only few times were when Ye Qing was in danger, so she didn't pursue it.

Since there was no harm, Ye Qinghuai didn't intend to expose it, and wanted to wait for Li Baoquan to tell her about it on his own. But now that his life was in danger, he couldn't care less.

Wang Lisong's safety can be said to be the key to the direction of the situation. He must not be allowed to die in Leizhou.

Ye Qinghuai looked at Li Baoquan with calm and sharp eyes, but also with some ardent and heavy expectations.

This is the look of the whole country supporting each other.

Ye Qinghuai placed all her hopes on him.

Li Baoquan was shocked when she saw him, and his cold blood seemed to be on fire.

He nodded slowly and replied, "I understand."

Then, he raised his head and met Ye Qinghuai's eyes. The master and servant seemed to have said a thousand words in this short look at each other.

Li Baoquan saluted Ye Qinghuai, and then followed the two right-hand Yamen guards to the direction of Yichun Palace.

The left and right government guards outside the palace gate were still confronting each other, and neither side relaxed their vigilance.

Only Ye Qinghuai and Luo Zichang were left in the palace, as well as General Wu Wei of the Youya Guard. Ye Qinghuai didn't have much impression of him and only vaguely remembered that his surname was Xu.

After Li Baoquan left, Ye Qinghuai walked into the main hall without speaking to them, sat down at the desk, took a book from the table and read it.

Luo Zichang saw that she didn't move, and didn't say anything. He just stood in the courtyard, looking outside the palace door from time to time, looking a little anxious.

Ye Qinghuai glanced at Luo Zichang secretly from above the scroll, and when she saw that he was not looking at her, she touched her left sleeve.

The jade seal was lying in her sleeve. It had been several days since her jade seal had never left her body.

Ye Qinghuai turned his head slightly, and out of the corner of his eye saw the sword hanging on the wall beside the desk. It was three feet long and half a palm wide. The hilt was engraved with dragon patterns, and the whole body was gilded. It was simple and solemn.

The Imperial Sword "Ryuyuan".

The sword of Ye Yunhan, the founding emperor of Dajing. Two hundred years ago, he carried this sword and fought all the way from Beidu to South County of Rongzhou. He used numerous corpses to build this supreme throne and created the Ye family.

The prosperous dynasty.

According to legend, the Holy Ancestor Emperor used this sword to kill countless people, which caused the sword to become full of viciousness. After the peace of Kyushu, the Holy Ancestor Emperor specially ordered someone to make a scabbard for this heavy sword, in order to seal the souls and murderous aura in the sword.

.

From then on, this sword was shelved in a high cabinet and worshiped respectfully by generations of Emperor Jing. No one ever pulled this sword out again.

As time passed, a legend spread in the palace. It was said that the Longyuan Sword could not be unsheathed. Once it was unsheathed, it would have to drink blood, which would even lead to another war in Kyushu.

At this moment, this heavy sword hangs quietly on the wall, silently, like a sleeping ancient object.

The light on the sword's hilt flashed through Ye Qinghuai's eyes, reflecting a cold light in her eyes.
