Chapter 256 Something happened to her? !
Xie Jingmo still waits at the door every day.
But Yunzhao came less and less often.
Deputy Gao will get less in the future.
On this day, Xie Jingmo couldn't bear it any longer, so he put on his clothes and hid far away at the door of the shogunate, just to take a look at Yun Zhao.
But no one came for a long time.
Even after the palace gates were locked, no one came.
Xie Jingmo sensed something was wrong, so he went to the palace gate and made friends with the guards there before he was able to call out Deputy General Gao.
"What's wrong?" Xie Jingmo asked.
Deputy General Gao wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "What's wrong?"
Outside the palace gate, it was difficult to say Yun Zhao's name. Xie Jingmo was reluctant to call her the Queen Mother, so he pointed inside the palace gate and asked, "What happened to her?"
Deputy General Gao said, "I've been busy lately and haven't had much time to visit you. Just take care of yourself."
Not having time to look at yourself can be an excuse or a pretext.
But it is impossible that Yun Zhao doesn’t have time to see Mu Chengyan.
There must be something going on here!
"Did something happen?" Xie Jingmo was very perceptive.
Deputy General Gao pursed his lips, and this time he was surprisingly strict. "It's okay. You are the only one injured. Just stay at home and recover. You don't have to worry about anything else."
After saying that, Deputy General Gao waved his hand and went in quickly.
Xie Jingmo was about to enter when the person at the door stopped him. "General Xie, I'm sorry, the palace gate is locked. If you want to go in, please come earlier tomorrow."
Xie Jingmo had a bad premonition in his heart.
He stood at the door for a moment, then turned around quickly.
He went to the military camp and found Lieutenant General Lin.
"What are you doing here?" Lieutenant General Lin said, "I'm busy and don't have time to talk to you about anything else."
Xie Jingmo immediately pulled him aside, "Did something happen in the palace? Did something happen to her?!"
Deputy General Lin waved his hand, and Xie Jingmo staggered two steps and almost fell.
"I know you blame me in your heart, but now is not the time to blame me. You can kill me or cut me up as you please in the future. Just answer me now, did something happen to her?!"
Seeing that Lieutenant General Lin remained silent, Xie Jingmo lowered his voice and lowered his posture to a very low level. "Isn't it enough for me to beg you? Do you really want me to kneel down and beg you?"
"Okay, I'll kneel down for you."
After saying that.
Xie Jingmo really wanted to kneel down.
Deputy General Lin frowned and helped him.
"Tell me now!"
Lieutenant General Lin then frowned and said, "The past few years since Yun Zhao became Empress Dowager have been turbulent. Empress Chen's clansmen have always felt that the late Empress's daughter has grown more and more like Empress Chen, and now the Emperor is even more like the late Empress. They have long suspected this and have been probing her."
"But I haven't found the trick yet. Although I'm confused, I haven't shown it on the surface. But a few days ago, a midwife suddenly appeared out of nowhere and said that the two queens switched their children, and the current emperor was born to the previous queen!"
"The Chen family naturally doesn't want to make things easier for others. They just said Yun Zhao deceived everyone. This matter has been raised for several days. But no matter what, the current emperor is still the child of the late emperor.
It was no different for other people, but the Chen family was furious. The emperor they had always thought of and supported with all their heart was actually born to someone else. They were so angry that they wanted to rebel!
Now they are forcing Yun Zhao to write a self-criticism edict and asking her to step down from the position of Empress Dowager!"
Xie Jingmo frowned, "What about the late queen? What about her family?"
Vice Admiral Lin said, "Their families are naturally delighted. They're happy that an emperor has fallen into their family for nothing, but they also naturally wish that the Empress Dowager Yun Zhao wasn't around to control the throne. That way, they can help their family members ascend to the throne. After all, the emperor is doomed."
Deputy General Lin said: "Yun Zhao is now under attack from both sides. I am just waiting for Yun Zhao's order to rush into the palace, so don't get in the way!"
Xie Jingmo narrowed his eyes, coughed a few times, and said, "Not enough."
Lieutenant General Lin looked over.
At that moment, Xie Jingmo was extremely nervous and his hands were shaking. He was afraid that he would fail miserably if he didn't think it through.
"not enough."
"Brother, before you rush to the border, gather these people together. Also, we can't rely solely on them. Everyone is watching now. We must have an overwhelming advantage. Otherwise, if a palace coup occurs, it will be very difficult to recover later."
"I immediately wrote a letter, anxiously asking the 100,000 troops who have followed me in the southwest over the years to mobilize 10,000 troops and generals and send them back to the capital. I also wrote a letter to the Lord of Lincheng. He's peaceful there, so I asked him to mobilize 30,000 troops and horses. Together with the old troops from the border, a total of 70,000 troops will be enough to win this battle!"
Lieutenant General Lin looked at Xie Jingmo.
Although at this moment Xie Jingmo was as weak as a candle in the wind.
But he seemed to see the high-spirited Xie Jingmo during the frontier period again.
"But it will take at least ten days for both sides to reach Kyoto. Can you handle it?"
Xie Jingmo's eyes were firm. "Even if we can't hold it, we have to! I will immediately gather my old subordinates in the capital. I will also go see my uncle Guo Tao. He has a group of elite soldiers under his command. As long as they are willing to help, it won't be a problem to hold out for ten days."
Lieutenant General Lin narrowed his eyes. "Guo Tao? Guo Yuanyuan's father? He's avoiding you now. Can he help you?"
Xie Jingmo was silent for a long time, "Before, when he wanted to marry his daughter off, he smiled at me in every possible way."
Lieutenant General Lin said, "Didn't I say that? Guo Yuanyuan is already married. Unless he has a second daughter to marry—"
The following words.
Lieutenant General Lin swallowed it all in his mouth.
"you……"
Xie Jingmo nodded. "He has a daughter who had a high fever years ago and damaged her brain. Guo Tao is old now and is most worried about how to take care of this child after he dies. If I promise to take care of his daughter, he will agree."
Lieutenant General Lin looked at Xie Jingmo with a complicated expression.
Unexpectedly, Xie Jingmo would be willing to do this for Yun Zhao.
"You—weren't you the one who cared most about your reputation?"
Xie Jingmo sneered, "What's the point of face? I don't want anything now!"
As long as she is safe.
In the past, he thought loving someone was possession.
But now.
He really felt it.
To love someone is to hope that she is well, to hope that she——
May all your wishes come true!
Xie Jingmo straightened his clothes and strode out.
That day the wind was strong, blowing the hem of my clothes and making them bulge out quite a bit.
Lieutenant General Lin looked at Xie Jingmo walking away and sighed deeply.
Xie Jingmo went to meet Guo Tao that night.
Tell me your purpose.
"You mean, you're willing to take care of my second daughter? Just ask me to give you the elite soldiers I have?"
"right."
Guo Tao was indeed moved. As a father, how could he not want his child to grow up safely?
He paused for a moment, "How are you going to take care of it?"
"In what capacity?"
"How can I trust you to take good care of my girl?"
"How do I know that you won't regret it later?"
Guo Tao is no pushover. Every word he says is logically clear and flawless.
A few words forced Xie Jingmo into a corner.
