It would have been fine if he had just come back, but he actually came into the palace right away. It seemed like she had been planning for so long before letting Suifeng go out to deliver the message to him, but he didn't listen at all.
"Ahem, Your Majesty." Eunuch Quan could no longer sit still at this time and directly reminded Long Qingyi.
"You." Seeing that Eunuch Quan was still going to warn her, Long Qingyi became angry and wanted to say something, but before she could do anything, she was stopped by Xu Tianze.
Xu Tianze shook his head slightly at Long Qingyi, then looked at Eunuch Quan: "Eunuch, instead of wasting time here, why don't you clear that place first? I'm here to get something."
When Eunuch Quan heard this, a trace of unnaturalness flashed across his face. He had originally thought that Xu Tianze would definitely disdain the imperial edict, and he was even prepared that Xu Tianze would not take it even if he died.
Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better. Now that Xu Tianze was willing to mention it on his own initiative, it meant that he had accepted the appointment of this imperial edict.
I think that if Xu Tianze helps him later, the one who finally sits on the throne must be someone extremely outstanding who can complete the last step.
"Mr. Xu, are you really planning to come and get it?" Eunuch Quan was still a little bit incredulous when such a good thing happened right away.
"Just do as I say, sir. After all, even if I cheated you, you won't suffer any loss, right?" Xu Tianze said in a calm tone, as if he was talking about taking an insignificant item.
"Okay, then I'll go clear the place first." Eunuch Quan laughed so hard that his eyes disappeared. He bowed to Xu Tianze and went out happily.
Long Qingyi looked at Eunuch Quan's back suspiciously, then looked at Xu Tianze. During this period of time, she had a thorough understanding of Eunuch Quan, this old fox.
As long as there is no benefit, this old guy will ignore you and sometimes he can even directly confront you and make you angry to death.
This was the first time she had seen Eunuch Quan like this in such a long time. For a moment, she was wondering what Xu Tianze and the other man were talking about just now.
"Aunt, don't worry about it. Let's think about how we have prepared for the retreat." Seeing that Long Qingyi was curious, Xu Tianze did not explain too much. The less you know about such things, the safer it is.
"What? Do you have a better solution?" Long Qingyi looked at Xu Tianze, somewhat surprised.
In fact, Emperor Gan died very suddenly, so there were many loopholes to exploit. For example, he did not clearly stipulate who would sit on the throne, nor did he say whether the so-called death in the palace was real or fake.
But the existence of loopholes does not mean that they can be exploited. After all, there are die-hards like Monkie and Eunuch Quan, who will not be flexible at all. Otherwise, she would not be constrained everywhere in the palace.
"What they want is to follow Emperor Gan's last wish and finally unify the Three Kingdoms. So whether you and I are really dead or just faking it doesn't really matter." Xu Tianze pulled Long Qingyi to sit on the chair.
After Xu Tianze's suggestion, Long Qingyi immediately understood what Xu Tianze wanted to express. However, although this matter seemed to benefit both parties, they would definitely not agree.
Because whether she or Xu Tianze were alive, they would be a hidden danger to the new emperor, because some things cannot be exposed, and their survival means the risk of exposure.
They are all shrewd people who have struggled in the mud. They all know that only the dead can keep secrets.
"Ze'er, your idea has been on my aunt's mind for a long time, but it simply won't work. Otherwise, why would I waste my time here?" Long Qingyi was a little embarrassed. It wasn't that she wanted to discourage anyone, but that was the fact.
All we can say is that Ze'er entered the palace with hope, but now she has killed her last hope with her own hands.
However, there is still an unknown secret passage that can be used. This secret passage was specially left for her by her mother, because she was afraid that Emperor Gan would want to kill her one day and she would have no chance of escape in the palace.
Yesterday, Suifeng was allowed to leave through the secret passage. Half a month later, she and Ze'er also left from there. From then on, there would be no more Empress Long Qingyi and treacherous minister Xu Tianze in this world.
Just when Long Qingyi was about to reveal it to Xu Tianze in advance, Xu Tianze also had a secret to tell Long Qingyi.
"Aunt, the thing I just talked about with Eunuch Quan is the opportunity for you and me. It is enough to shake Eunuch Quan." Xu Tianze smiled and gave Long Qingyi a reassuring look.
If he really had no confidence, how could he enter the palace? With the imperial edict, he and his aunt only had to watch the three of them, uncle and nephew, fight for the throne. Not only could it save his and his aunt's lives at the critical moment, but it could also leave a glimmer of hope for the two failed ones.
"Are you sure?" Long Qingyi's eyes lit up, and the sad expression on her face disappeared in an instant.
If they could really fake their death, then they could leave the palace directly. If there was no way to leave the palace, the secret passage would be the best option.
Xu Tianze smiled and nodded: "Aunt, just prepare it with peace of mind. I'm going to go get the things from Eunuch Quan first."
Long Qingyi smiled and nodded. After Xu Tianze left completely, Long Qingyi's expression became completely solemn. It was not that she did not believe what Ze'er said.
After all, she was sincere to Ze'er. At the beginning, it was because of Qing'er, her mother, and later it was because she really liked the child. She also believed that Ze'er would definitely not harm her.
However, she was a little worried about giving the choice to Eunuch Quan and others. Ze'er had been away from Shangjing City for a long time and might not know about it, but she, Long Qingyi, had been in the palace all the time, so she naturally knew that Eunuch Quan and others had changed their minds.
