The empress looked at the secret message on the table with cold eyes, clenched her hands, and said with cold eyes: "Damn it!"
Gong Qingqiu stood aside with a solemn expression.
"Including the wolf guards, there are five people in total, and all of them have been discovered. What kind of powerful masters are there around Uncle Ninth!"
The empress' cold words made Gong Qingqiu hesitate slightly: "It's difficult for us to get close to Uncle Jiu's house. During this period, we have sent out several groups of people to test it, but no one can get within ten meters of the house."
"And the opponent is very accurate in his attacks. No matter how we disguise ourselves, he will find out the clues. Moreover, his sword skills are so sharp that he can kill us with one blow."
Gong Qingqiu's words made the empress snort: "Can't even my people be able to deal with it?"
"It's difficult. Unless we send out several masters on the martial arts list in the imperial city, it will be difficult to find out the truth inside."
The Empress shook her head: "No, it's not yet time to completely break with the Nine Emperors, and now we only have suspicions and no substantial evidence to do so."
"Once Uncle Nine Emperors gets the handle, he will definitely add fuel to the jealousy in front of the Queen Mother. You also know the Queen Mother's character."
Gong Qingqiu sighed: "Sister, do you want to always live in the shadow of your mother?"
"I will not live in anyone's shadow. I am just waiting for a more suitable opportunity."
Gong Qingqiu wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the Empress: "A small impatience will ruin a big plan. Since the Nine Emperors Uncle retired, he has an excellent reputation among the government and the public. If you are not completely sure, you can just rely on my guess. By then, I’m afraid there will be another turmoil between the government and the opposition.”
There were hurried footsteps outside the door, and Gong Qingqiu immediately fell silent.
Eunuch Cui Shugong's voice sounded outside the door: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the border!"
"Come in!"
Cui Shugong lowered his head and bent down and delivered a secret envelope to the empress: "Your Majesty, this is the legend of the Flying Eagle just now. It has the fire seal personally sealed by the eldest princess."
These words made the empress and Gong Qingqiu's expressions change greatly.
The empress opened the secret fold, glanced at it lightly, and her face turned cold: "Come here! Arrest Lan Yu'er for me!"
"Sister, wait!"
Gong Qingqiu's expression changed drastically: "Sister, Lan Yu'er is an important person around Liu Yijin. How can you arrest her?"
"look by youself!"
The empress handed over the secret folder. After Gong Qingqiu looked at it, his expression changed drastically.
"How is this possible! The Uighurs are a small country affiliated with our Daqian dynasty. Yaowang Valley is also a holy land for the Uighurs. How can it possibly serve the Daxia army?"
"This is the news from the eldest sister, it cannot be false!" The empress said with a gloomy face: "Qingqiu, haven't I treated the Uighurs badly?"
"But Lan Yu'er is just a saint from the Uighur Medicine King Valley. She shouldn't be responsible for this!"
"Hmph!" the empress said in a cold tone: "As the Holy Maiden of the Medicine King Valley, she has an unshirkable responsibility. If I don't kill her today, how will I frighten the Medicine King Valley and the Uighurs!"
Seeing that the empress was angry, Gong Qingqiu didn't dare to say anything. Instead, he glanced at a maid behind him, and the latter quietly retreated.
Liu Yijin was talking to several women at his house about what happened in the court, when he heard Erzhuzi running over in a panic: "Sir, someone is coming from the palace."
Everyone saw a woman walking in in a panic: "Master Liu, Princess Qingqiu has something to tell you."
Seeing the panicked expression of the palace maid, Liu Yijin couldn't help but frown: "What happened?"
"Your Majesty wants to kill Lan Yu'er."
What?
Liu Yijin's expression changed drastically: "What happened? Why did Your Majesty suddenly want to kill someone?"
"It seems to be about the Uighur Medicine King Valley. I heard that all the people in the Medicine King Valley have defected to the Daxia army, so your majesty is so angry."
Everyone's expressions suddenly became solemn, and Mengyao hurriedly said: "Yu'er, I think you should hide as soon as possible."
"Where are you hiding?" Lan Yu'er said with a wry smile: "If the guess is correct, His Majesty's people should have arrived as well."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of soldiers and horses rang out in front of the Liu Mansion. At the wall of the Liu Mansion, swordsmen and axemen in powerful clothes looked ahead with cold eyes.
The door was violently pushed open, and a middle-aged man wearing golden armor looked at Liu Yijin and others who came out of the hall with cold eyes: "Master Liu, this general has been ordered to capture the Uighur demon girl Lan Yu'er! "
Lan Yu'er's expression changed slightly. Wang Ying, Mengyao, and Sun Sangxiang stood directly in front of Lan Yu'er, looking angrily at the general in golden armor.
"Why are you arresting Yu'er? She has been in the Liu Mansion and has never done anything. Why are you arresting her?"
The golden-armored general's face turned cold, and he waved his hand: "Get someone!"
"Let's see who dares!" Wang Ying took a step forward: "This is my Liu Mansion!"
The golden-armored guard glanced at Wang Ying and said calmly: "The general is acting under His Majesty's orders. Anyone who dares to stop him will be punished according to the crime!"
A group of golden-armored guards rushed directly towards Lan Yu'er.
"I'll go with you!" Lan Yu'er stood up: "As long as you don't move other people in the house, I will follow you."
Lan Yuer looked at Wang Ying and others with a grateful face: "Madam, thank you for taking care of me these days, but this matter is my own business, so I will let you and I handle it."
"How do you handle it!" Wang Ying said anxiously: "Lan Yu'er, I don't care what you did before, but you are now a member of my Liu family, and the master and I are responsible for you, right? catty!"
Liu Yijin glanced at the golden-armored general, then at the guards standing on the wall, and said calmly: "Are you the guards in front of His Majesty?"
"Exactly!" The golden-armored general looked at Liu Yijin with indifferent eyes: "Master Liu, this matter was ordered by His Majesty. I advise you not to stop it."
Liu Yijin turned around and glanced at Lan Yuer, who looked at Liu Yijin with burning eyes: "Liu Yijin..."
Liu Yijin waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't say anything anymore, just leave it to me."
"Someone come!
Following Liu Yijin's scolding, the sound of soldiers moving in unison came from outside the door: "The Wolf Guard of the Supervision Department obeys the order of the Chief of Staff!"
"No one can take anyone from the Liu Mansion without my order today."
"promise!"
The golden-armored general heard the cold voice coming from outside the gate, and said with a gloomy face: "Liu Yijin, are you going to resist the order?"
"Resist the decree? Haha, if His Majesty doesn't give me the decree, it doesn't count as resisting the decree!"
"Bold!" General Jinjia moved his fingers and unsheathed his long sword: "Liu Yijin, you are the head of the Supervision Department. You know the serious consequences of resisting the order."
"I know." Liu Yijin sneered: "I am the head of the Liu family. If you have any problems, you can come to me to solve it."
"Looking for you?"
Jin Jia said coldly: "I'm afraid you won't be able to get away with it this time."
"Since you can't get away with it, don't blame me for being rude."
Liu Yijin punched him directly, and the golden-armored general's expression changed drastically. He was about to raise his hands to block, but who knew that the fist directly broke through the blockage of his arms and hit the opponent's chest with a punch.
Seeing the figure of the golden-armored general being smashed away, the golden-armored guards around him roared angrily, unsheathing their swords, and their eyes were cold and murderous.
"Let's see who dares to act arrogant in the Liu Mansion!" Erzhuzi walked out holding an iron rod and roared at the golden armored guards.
This directly caused a fight between the two sides.
Erzhuzi roared like Gouzi: "Grandma, I am also a wolf guard, outside the Third Independent Division, no worse than you!"
"Guys, fix these scornful guys!"
The arrogant Wolf Guard met the golden-armored guard in front of the palace. Naturally, neither party was convinced by the other.
When Liu Yijin saw that something was wrong, he turned around and pulled the ladies towards the house: "You all stay here, and you are not allowed to come out without my order!"
"Master, what about you?"
Wang Ying shouted eagerly.
"Of course I'm guarding you outside. These grandsons are disrespectful to me, the leader. I want to show them some respect."
After Liu Yijin finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.
Lan Yuer looked worried and said: "Madam, what should I do?"
Although Wang Ying was nervous inside, she still comforted her calmly: "What are you afraid of? As long as we don't break the law, no one can do anything to us."
Mengyao walked to the door and looked forward with burning eyes: "Before, I was still hesitating whether to find two masters for the big shot, but now it seems that it is indeed imminent."
"Mengyao, what master are you talking about?" Sun Sangxiang stood next to her and looked out worriedly: "What should we do? If this starts a fight, both sides will have no intention of stopping."
"As long as no one is killed, it will be fine. And I think His Majesty will soon know everything here."
...
In the palace, the empress was so angry that she said, "Qingqiu, go there yourself and arrest everyone in the Liu family!"
"Including his pregnant wife!"
Gong Qingqiu paused: "Sister, is this too much?"
"What did you say?" The empress looked at Gong Qingqiu with cold eyes: "At this time, even you doubt me?"
Gong Qingqiu's eyes showed dissatisfaction: "Sister, how could you do this!"
"If you dare to disobey my order, I will lock you up!"
Gong Qingqiu sighed helplessly, turned and left.
And just when Gong Qingqiu walked out of the palace gate, a blurry figure flashed away at the corner.
In a side hall in a corner of the palace, a young eunuch walked in in a panic. He glanced around, stuffed a piece of paper directly under the feet of the Jade Buddha placed on the table, and turned to leave.
After a while, a maid came in and took the note out.
When this note was delivered to the Ninth Prince, the Ninth Prince, who was always good at strategizing, couldn't help but be stunned: "Your Majesty wants to send Liu Yijin to prison? How is this possible!"
"Liu Yijin is her most powerful arm. If he is captured, wouldn't His Majesty be known as the man who killed Zhongliang?"
"Your Majesty, this happened so suddenly. We didn't expect Liu Yijin to openly resist the order because of a woman."
The old man in black said respectfully.
The Ninth Prince smiled: "This is a good thing for us. If your Majesty really investigates Liu Yijin, then we will really have peace of mind."
"But could this be the empress's plan?"
The old man in black said worriedly.
The Ninth Prince chuckled and said: "Whether it's a trick or not, we'll find out next time."
"Send this news to Liu Yong and others, so that they can play a role at the critical moment."
"Old slave obeys the order."
While Gong Qingqiu was still on the way to the Liu Mansion, the news that the empress wanted to attack Liu Yijin spread throughout the court.
Liu Yong was drinking at home with several adults. When he heard the news, he pinched his thigh a few times in disbelief: "Is this true?"
"Reporting to your lord, this matter is absolutely true."
Liu Yong laughed: "This Liu Yijin is really crazy. He offended His Majesty because of a woman. He is simply seeking death!"
Jin Bing on the side also had a sneer on his face: "Young people can be arrogant, but they must understand what they are!"
Gao Ju and Yao Yuan also had sarcastic faces: "How could we miss such a good show?"
Everyone looked at Liu Yong, who had a hint of sarcasm on his face: "Such a good opportunity, of course we can't miss it."
