In the evening, the sun was setting.
It gave the entire Thearch Palace a layer of sacred golden light.
Just as the empress was summoning all the civil and military officials of the imperial court to hold a grand court meeting at the Gate of Supreme Harmony to discuss the martial arts tournament-
.......
Northwest of the palace.
In a dark corner of the Clan Affairs Council.
Around the dry well, there were dark moss.
A group of masked men in black knelt beside the dry well with respectful expressions.
"Dear ministers, I…It had been many years since he had seen the light of day.”
An old and hoarse voice came from the dry well.
A man in black walked forward and said happily,
"Your Majesty, please be patient! Soon! Soon!"
"The martial arts tournament is about to begin! Today, the representatives of Korea, Japan, Yuanrong, and other countries had entered the palace one after another!”
"This old minister has already discussed with the Japanese. Tonight, once the traitor Xiao Qingmei dies, the 1,000 Japanese masters who entered the Imperial Capital will sneak into the palace and cooperate with us!”
"The most troublesome problem now is…"
"Minister Zhang, you're talking about the Divine Guards, right?”The person in the well asked.
"Yes, it's said that the God-approaching Guards are made up of thirteen supreme grandmasters. They are elusive and only listen to the previous emperors!”
Minister Zhang said.
"Pah! Xiao Qingmei is the Son of Heaven, then what am I? I am her biological father! I am the true Son of Heaven of the Great Xuan Dynasty!”
"This disloyal, unfilial, and unjust daughter who killed her brother and imprisoned her father should be killed by all the gods and ancestors in the sky!”
The voice in the well became more and more agitated, hysterical, and constantly cursing.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Forgive me for being blunt, but in order for the Eldest Prince to be able to master the Xiao Family's Nine Mysterious Divine Phoenix Technique, you wanted to use Princess Qingmei as a furnace and extract her bloodline. She was only reacting early and had the advantage over us.”
At this moment, another tall man in black said.
"Chen Anwu, you are the General of Pingnan that I personally conferred upon you back then. You are not speaking up for me, but you are helping the traitor to get away with it? F * ck your mother! F * ck your mother to death!"
The person in the well seemed to have broken down. He, who had spoken elegantly before, was actually cursing.
Seeing this formation, the surrounding ten or so men in black were so frightened that their bodies trembled and they knelt on the ground.
"Please calm down, Your Majesty!"
After a while.
The people in the well finally calmed down.”
"First, Xiao Qingmei was poisoned by the Wood Corpse Gu Poison that I got from the southern border. Although she stole a few antidotes, she could only temporarily suppress the poison.”
"If I'm not wrong, the poison has started to take effect in the past few days. She's like a living dead, and she can't even move, let alone her inner energy! All you need to do is sneak into the inner palace and kill her with a single strike!”
"Second! Later, I will stamp the seal of my Xiao Family Patriarch on you assassins. When the Close Divine Guards see this seal, they will definitely not interfere!”
"Oh, right."
The voice in the well continued," Before the uprising tonight, you must find Wei Dachuan of the West Hall. Eunuch Wei was loyal to me back then. If he knew that I was still alive, he would definitely help."”
"Your Majesty, nothing else." Minister Zhang shook his head.
"What's gone?"
"Eunuch Wei is already gone. He was killed by the East Chamber's Factory Duke. It is said that he was torn to pieces! Moreover, there was no West Hall in this world.”
"F * ck Liu Jin! How dare you kill my palm-print eunuch!" The man in the well was enraged again.
"No, it's not Liu Jin."
Minister Zhang said," The East Chamber's Chamber Master has been replaced. The current Chamber Master is called Zhou An. He's about seventeen or eighteen years old. His methods and martial arts are stronger than Liu Jin's. He's now the head of the Twelve Wardens of the Inner Palace and is favored by Xiao Qingmei!"”
"Zhou An? Zhou An? Xiao An Zi?"
The man in the well muttered the name,""Could it be the little eunuch I brought back from the fishing village on the coast of the East Sea that year?”
"Forget it, you guys go do your work! You must bring Xiao Qingmei's head to see me tonight!”
"Yes, sir! Your Majesty!"
The men in black kowtowed.
"Your Majesty, I still have one more thing."
The man called "Chen Anwu" knelt and said,""I don't think it's appropriate to cooperate with the Japanese.”
"What's wrong?" The voice in the well sounded impatient.
"When I was the governor of Donghai, I fought with the Japanese pirates. These Japanese are sinister, cunning, and ambitious.”
Chen Anwu said.
"Hey, do you think I don't know? To resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the country! Remember this! Get lost!"
"I can't wait any longer!"
Seeing that the voice in the well had started to become irritable again, everyone knelt down one after another.
........
At this moment.
As the sun set, night fell.
The court session at Great Harmony Hall ended.
The civil and military officials dispersed one after another.
This court meeting, apart from handling the routine political affairs.
The empress also personally selected a few officials who were in charge of the "China Elite Meeting"-the Minister of the Honglu Temple, Liu Songli, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Hu Yongjin, and others, as well as the Minister of the East Chamber, Zhou An!
This was probably the only diplomatic event hosted by internal affairs eunuchs.
Among the officials, there were many who tried to persuade the empress to replace them, but the empress firmly rejected them all.
"Tsk tsk, the empress's favor towards this Governor Zhou is evident.”
"This Eunuch Zhou is awe-inspiring, but I wonder what his character is like?”
"I'm afraid you don't know that outside the Honglu Temple today, when the Japanese Crown Prince insulted the palace maids, our Governor Zhou single-handedly beat those Japanese people into kneeling and surrendering, right?”
"Really? Is that true?"
"Absolutely true! I also heard that the Embroidered Uniform Guards were also present at that time. That Cai Wuhuan, Cai Daren, was so scared that he didn't even dare to fart!”
"In that case, this East Chamber's Factory Duke is the real man!”
......
When they left, the officials discussed.
"Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions for me to stay?”
Zhou An stood alone in the main hall, looking at the majestic and beautiful empress with her voluptuous figure.
No matter how deep Zhou An's thoughts were, he was still a normal man.
In the past three months.
When he thought of the feeling that night, he would occasionally have an evil heart demon. He wanted to pick up this beautiful empress and ruthlessly hit her on the dragon couch.
However, he was already doing his best to suppress it.
At this moment, their eyes met.
The scene from that night three months ago involuntarily appeared in his mind.
The atmosphere was very awkward.
"It's nothing serious. It's just that Princess Huai Zhen has just returned and the three of us haven't met for many years. Zhen wants to invite you to the Fairy Palace's imperial garden tonight for a meal.”
The empress looked to the side and broke the silence.
"Oh, okay, I will definitely arrive on time.”
Zhou An nodded.
For some reason, he felt that something " exciting " would happen tonight.
If she can't control herself, then don't blame me.
He thought so.
