After the rebirth, the empress took the tragic script of Meiqiang

Chapter 8 Leaving the Palace

The next day, Wenxuan Hall.

As soon as the class started, Ye Qinghuai showed the unsealed imperial edict to Lu Yanchen.

Lu Yanchen looked calm, as if he was not surprised by the contents of the imperial edict.

"Sir, it seems that you are not surprised." Ye Qinghuai said.

"Wei Chen heard the results of the joint trial of this case yesterday."

"Sir, what do you think of this result?" After Ye Qinghuai finished speaking, he paused deliberately before raising his head and looking at Lu Yanchen.

Lu Yanchen met Ye Qinghuai's eyes, immediately looked away, lowered his eyes and said, "Unexpected, but reasonable."

Ye Qinghuai chuckled and said: "Mr. Wang Lisong once said that Wang Lisong is upright, has the ambition of a green pine, and has the demeanor of a gentleman. But as far as I can see, he is just a mediocre person who is greedy for life and sacrifices righteousness. It is far different from what Mr. Wang said."

It's not an exaggeration to say that they are completely different from each other."

After hearing the end, Lu Yanchen raised his head and looked at Ye Qinghuai. His calm eyes suddenly changed with shock and fear. Then he frowned in confusion, and finally sank down again, as if he had fallen asleep.

What a decision.

"Sir, I'm afraid you may have misjudged the situation." Seeing that Lu Yanchen didn't speak, Ye Qinghuai said again.

Lu Yanchen did not answer. He was silent for a while, looked at the edict in front of him, and said, "What your majesty said is that maybe I misread it. Now that the case has been concluded, why didn't your majesty refuse to seal it?"

"Because I don't believe it. I don't believe that sir would make a mistake." Seeing Lu Yanchen's somewhat astonished look, Ye Qinghuai raised the corners of her lips and smiled at him, "Sir, you have the unique insight to see that I can be a wise king.

.”

When she said this, Lu Yanchen showed a helpless smile, but his eyes looking at Ye Qinghuai flickered with hope.

Ye Qinghuai suppressed his smile and said: "I believe in your judgment, sir, and I also believe that Wang Lisong is a man of integrity. Therefore, I think that Wang Lisong is not sincere."

"The mirror of the three-level meeting is hanging high, and the filth in the world has nowhere to hide. Sir, do you know what prevents him from speaking sincerely in the court of justice?" Ye Qinghuai's voice was not serious, but he slowed down.

The teacher and the student looked at each other. Lu Yanchen could not hide his admiration in his eyes. The admiration was mixed with a certain amount of solemnity and a certain amount of worry.

He thought for a long time and then said: "Have your Majesty ever heard of the old story of Duke Mo? It is said that when Duke Mo went out to hunt in the city, a mantis raised its arms angrily and showed no fear. Although this move was brave, it was also stupid. Your Majesty is extremely intelligent and must be

Understand the rationale.”

Ye Qinghuai thought for a moment and smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, you are saying that I use my mantis as a chariot and don't know what I can do. Why don't I know it? But I don't want to be a mantis with strings for the rest of my life. Even if it is Mo Gong's chariot,

I am also willing to give it a try, and I must try. I just don’t know how to do it. Can Sir teach me?"

Ye Qinghuai looked at Lu Yanchen with sincerity in his eyes. After three years as a teacher and student, it was only at this moment that Ye Qinghuai truly regarded him as a teacher and asked for advice.

It was a great courtesy for the emperor to call himself "I". Lu Yanchen was obviously frightened, but the look of surprise on his face lasted only a fleeting moment. A sharp edge flashed in his eyes and the lines of his jaw tightened.

He said, "If Your Majesty has made this decision, I have two things to say to Your Majesty."

"Sir, please speak."

"First, know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger. Second, to overthrow the enemy, you should plan for it slowly."

"It's a pity that I don't even know who my opponent is now. Please tell me, sir, how to know yourself and the enemy."

Ye Qinghuai's words kept pressing, just to dig out the name "Gu Shihai" from Lu Yanchen's mouth.

However, Lu Yanchen said: "Your Majesty has forgotten what I just told your Majesty. If you want to destroy a big enemy, you should do it slowly."

Ye Qinghuai was choked by him and couldn't help but sigh, and finally said: "I understand. I have taken note of Sir's teachings."

Lu Yanchen had worries. Although Ye Qinghuai didn't know what he was worried about, she could see from his determined eyes that it was impossible for her to ask anything today.

——

As soon as class was over, Lu Yanchen's instructions were forgotten by Ye Qinghuai.

She decided to leave the palace.

She could take her time to figure it out, but Wang Lisong couldn't wait that long.

Although the edict was temporarily suppressed by her, it could not be delayed for a few days. Once the real Wang Lisong was exiled to Leizhou, it would be difficult for Ye Qinghuai to find him again.

Moreover, Ye Qinghuai also did not know whether Lu Yanchen's "slow plan" was out of consideration for the emperor's protection and the overall situation, or a delaying tactic to deal with Wang Lisong.

After all, he was forced to commit suicide once in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, so Ye Qinghuai was always wary of Lu Yanchen.

There was still an hour before sunset, and Ye Qinghuai summoned Aunt Fanghua and told her that she wanted to leave the palace incognito. As expected, she was immediately opposed by Aunt Fanghua.

"Why did your Majesty suddenly want to go to the palace to play again?" Aunt Fanghua has a big head.

"I promise to come back before dark, please help me, aunt." Ye Qinghuai said coquettishly, holding her sleeve.

"Hey, you kid..." Aunt Fanghua, who always couldn't stand her coquettishness, softened her tone immediately.

Ye Qinghuai interrupted her quickly and said, "Auntie, I agreed! Auntie, remember, if anyone comes, tell me that I have stopped feeling unwell. If it doesn't work, I will ask Grandpa Zhou to come and check my pulse."

"Okay, okay." Aunt Fanghua responded, while tidying up Ye Qinghuai's casual clothes worriedly, "Let Commander Yan send two reliable experts to follow him, and don't run around outside the palace. It's very dangerous outside the palace.

And this, keep it away so no one can see it."

Aunt Fanghua carefully folded and wrapped the menstrual belt and stuffed it into her chest.

Ye Qinghuai responded one after another. When she was ready to come out, Li Baoquan was already waiting outside.

Aunt Fanghua looked around and saw no one else except Li Baoquan. She couldn't help but look suspicious and asked Li Baoquan: "Why are you the only one?"

A trace of surprise flashed across Li Bao's face, but he quickly covered it up naturally. Just as he was about to answer, Ye Qinghuai jumped in front of him and said to Aunt Fanghua: "This matter is confidential, I will let others wait."

It’s at the palace gate.”

Aunt Fanghua breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Your Majesty came back early, and the servant ordered the imperial kitchen to make your Majesty's favorite sliders."

Ye Qinghuai nodded and said: "Okay. Please trouble my aunt in the palace."

After saying that, she took Li Baoquan out of the gate of Jingshou Palace.

As soon as she left the palace, she gave up her position and let Li Baoquan walk in front of her.

"Have everything been arranged?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

"Everything has been arranged when I return to Your Majesty. Your Majesty will go out from Donglin Gate to Zhengde North Street."

Ye Qinghuai nodded.

She didn't plan to bring any bodyguards with her on this trip, and she wasn't going to be in plain clothes, but sneaking out. There were very few people she trusted in the harem, so she only informed Li Baoquan and asked him to arrange for her to sneak out of the palace.

Li Baoquan was left to Ye Qinghuai by Emperor Shunping. He grew up with Emperor Shunping since he was a child. He once blocked a knife for Emperor Shunping and was a loyal servant.

After all, Li Baoquan is the general manager, so it is very easy for him to arrange for someone to go out without anyone noticing.

Ye Qinghuai followed Li Baoquan with his head lowered, and met no one along the way except for a few maids sweeping the palace. When the two of them walked along the palace wall to Donglin Gate, Li Baoquan suddenly slowed down and said: "

Your Majesty, the old slave is a slave. His master acts and a slave should not talk too much. But after walking this way, the old slave is always worried. I still want to persuade Your Majesty. Let’s not leave the palace. It is not peaceful outside the palace. Your Majesty has a daughter of gold.

, Don’t think about yourself, but also think about the country. If there is anything outside the palace that is not in the palace, I can just bring it into the palace with my slaves."

Ye Qinghuai stopped, looked up at the towering palace wall, sighed, and said: "You can't bring what I'm looking for into the palace. No one can bring it into the palace."

Li Baoquan was puzzled: "Your Majesty is interested in something outside the palace?"

Ye Qinghuai did not answer him. She withdrew her gaze and looked in the direction of Donglinmen, her expression dark and unclear. After a while, she said: "Let's go."

Every step she took was extremely determined.

There was something outside the palace that could not be brought into the palace, and no one could get it for her. She had to get it herself.

That's the truth.
