Chapter 133 The overall situation comes first
Because the emperor is ill, the guards in the palace are even tighter. In addition to the daily patrol guards who are stationed at their respective places, the rest of the elite guards are sent to guard near the Yangxin Hall. , to prevent thieves from taking advantage of the situation.
Cui Xiu looked for this opportunity and prepared to leave the palace. After all, all the attention at this time was on the emperor, and no one should be paying attention to their Chuxiu Palace
She wanted to go Meet the youngest son of Dr. Zhang.
Before going out, she discussed this matter with Li Qun, and Li Qun agreed to help her arrange it.
Choose a suitable time, put on men's clothes when ready, and meet at the place agreed upon in advance. Someone will naturally meet her.
As for the fifth prince, he was with the Queen Mother during the day.
By the evening, she had already come back, so the fifth prince would not notice anything wrong.
“Mother, everything is ready.”
“Are you sure you are going alone? Don’t you need us to accompany you?”
Chunfeng took the packed things to the table next to Cui Xiu, and asked with a worried look on his face.
Chunfeng knew that his mother-in-law had always known this.
But the emperor was seriously ill at this time. If someone with evil intentions knew that her mother-in-law left the palace privately and put on men's clothes, unnecessary trouble would definitely be caused.
At this time, there is one less thing to do, one thing.
After Cui Xiu heard what Chunfeng said, he walked straight to the table, picked up the clothes Chunfeng had prepared, and said, "Don't worry about this, I'll be back as soon as I go."
"The affairs in the palace still need to be taken care of by the two of you."
"If someone comes to see me, just say that I am not feeling well and should not see people, and ask her to come back another day."
"If you really have a problem that can't be solved, just go to Sister Yun."
Cui Xiu told Chunfeng and Qiufeng everything she wanted to deal with. She believed that these two people could handle the affairs in the palace well.
When Chunfeng heard what Cui Xiu said, her face showed a hint of worry, but she did not refute Cui Xiu's words.
Chunfeng responded simply: "Chunfeng knows, don't worry, my queen."
"My queen, please remember to come back early."
After Cui Xiu changed into men's clothes, he followed Li Qun's previous instructions The route map arranged for her reached the joint, and she saw a relatively strong man.
Cui Xiu saw the man walking towards her, and he said with suspicion: "Is it you?"
Cui Xiu did not say who sent him. But if Li Qun sent him here, he would definitely know what he meant.
Dong Zuo heard Cui Xiu's words, nodded and responded: "Yes, let's go."
Dong Zuo took Cui Xiu out of the palace smoothly. No one stopped them along the way, as if everything All were well arranged.
Cui Xiu thought to himself, he didn’t expect Li Qun to have such power in the palace, he really underestimated him.
She originally thought that Li Qun was only powerful in the court, but she never thought that he also had his own arrangements in the palace.
No wonder the emperor is wary of him.
She had thought that Li Qun had been deprived of power by the emperor for so many years. Although he was glorious on the outside, there was probably only an empty shell left inside.
I never thought that he was just pretending to show the emperor, so that the emperor could relax his vigilance and avoid trouble with him.
After leaving the palace, Dong Zuo relaxed his vigilance and took her to find a carriage. Sitting outside the carriage was another tall and thin man, dressed similarly to Dong Zuo. He must be Dong Zuo's companion.
Dong Zuo said respectfully to Cui Xiu. : "Master Cui, please."
Listening to Dong Zuo's respectful words, Cui Xiu thought to herself, she didn't expect that Li Qun had even arranged a title. He was really thoughtful.
She had not heard the title Mr. Cui for many years.
The last time I heard this title was a long time ago. From time to time it reminds her of her youth. To be honest, she still missed those incomprehensible and crazy experiences.
At least people are free to do whatever they want, unlike now where they can only stay in the palace. The most they can do is listen, go fishing, go to the theater, and can't do anything else. .
Can't ride a horse or raise a whip, can't draw a bow and shoot an arrow. There are too many things that cannot be done and too few things that can be done. It’s really not free.
Xu Zong entered the carriage and immediately saw Li Qun sitting inside. When Li Qun saw Cui Xiu coming, he said, "Let's go."
When the people outside heard Li Qun's words, the carriage began to move.
Li Qun glanced at Xu Zong, who was wearing men's clothing. He had a calm expression on his face and said, "My queen, why do you want to see Mr. Zhang so much?"
Cui When Xiu heard Li Qun's question, she glanced at Li Qun, straightened her waist, and said seriously. : "Of course it's for business."
"Master Xu Guogong, there is no need to think too much. I am no longer the same person I was back then."
"Don't worry."
Cui Xiu originally wanted to say the first sentence, but the next two sentences came out naturally for some reason.
It's like what a libertine who has been in trouble for many years is going to meet a strange wild man to make a promise to his wife.
Obviously Li Qun didn't mention that aspect in his words, but Cui Xiu always felt that Li Qun was like a royal wife controlling her husband.
Li Qun has the feeling of a royal wife.
She just thought about this feeling in her heart. If she told Li Qun about it, she would be embarrassed.
For some reason, she really wanted to see Li Qun's dark face.
I always feel a bit of a contrast, but just thinking about it, I came out today for business.
Let’s talk about teasing Li Qun later when we have the opportunity. Anyway, there will be more opportunities in the future.
As Cui Xiu spoke, he stared at Li Qun closely, as if he was fascinated, with some thoughts in his heart.
Although Mr. Xu Guogong has grown older, his charm is still there.
Compared with the wanton and flamboyant young man back then, the mature and steady Mr. Xu Guogong with a little "temper" today is more interesting.
"I hope the empress can keep her word. After all, it will not be easy to come out this time."
"Everything must focus on the overall situation."
Li Qun looked serious. warned.
Cui Xiu was not frightened by Li Qun's serious expression. There was no shocked expression on his face. He nodded and said perfunctorily: "I know, I know."
"What is important? I know it well.”
“But Mr. Zhang”
“It’s really as imagined——”
Cui Xiugang mentioned Mr. Zhang, Li Qunna. The sword-like gaze swept over him, as if to warn him to be careful in his words and actions.
Cui Xiu caught Li Qun's gaze and subconsciously raised her hand to cover her mouth. The expression on her face was a little uneasy, and she didn't speak anymore, as if she had guessed what Li Qun was thinking.
She was really curious, was Mr. Zhang really good-looking?
Li Qun can remind her early.
Focus on the overall situation.
