"What's the big deal? Why are you looking for me suddenly?" Lin Han asked.
"The Queen learned that you had returned to Luoyang, so she sent me here specifically to ask you to go to the He Mansion Villa to discuss an important matter."
"when?"
"Tomorrow evening." Cao Zhengchun said.
"good,"
"Has there been any major events in the palace recently?"
"Yes, as far as I know, the emperor wants to establish a Xiyuan Colonel to integrate the Sili troops and command the Imperial Guards." Cao Zhengchun said, "My lord's name is on the list of colonels."
"What about the development of the Jinyiwei?"
"My lord, the Imperial Guard has been expanding. In addition to the palace, we have also deployed Imperial Guards in the homes of major eunuchs, relatives of the emperor, and powerful officials. The number of personnel has expanded to 5,000. We can control the affairs of the palace and the homes of important officials. We know about any disturbances."
"Is there anything important happening recently?"

"You go back now. There have been a lot of things happening recently, so be careful. The astronomical signs show that the lord will die next year. Pay attention to any major events in the palace recently and send the Embroidered Uniform Guard to report to me at any time." Lin Han warned.

He's Villa.
When the queen returned home, the security around her was tightened.
With the defense loopholes that Cao Zhengchun deliberately left exposed, Lin Han easily entered the backyard.
No one dared to approach the wing room, and Cao Zhengchun was the only one at the door.
"The queen has been waiting for you inside for a long time."
Cao Zhengchun bowed respectfully to Lin Han, opened the door for him to enter, and then stood guard at the door, keeping an eye on his surroundings.
As soon as Lin Han entered the house, he saw He drinking alone.
"Your Majesty." Lin Han bowed.
"General Xiao, I've been waiting for you." He looked at Lin Han in a daze, and said drunkenly, "You returned to Luoyang without even saying hello to me. Have you forgotten me?"
