Chapter 73 Attack
Empress Dowager Cao felt a stern.
There are many people around her serving people. When did a small guard dare to come to her?
Empress Dowager Cao, who fought all the way through the predicament, was very sensitive, otherwise she would not have become the first regent of the dynasty.
She hesitated for a moment and immediately stood up and ordered the palace maids to show her: "Invite someone in!"
The goddess of the palace went out in a panic look.
Empress Dowager Cao tidied up her clothes in front of the mirror and went to the main hall next to her.
Li Qian looked anxious, his clothes were messy, his sword was unsheathed, and there were a few dead grass on his hair, as if he was coming out of the woods, and he was very embarrassed.
Empress Dowager Cao's heart sank.
She looked at the person coming coldly.
Li Qian had already stepped forward and knelt in front of Empress Dowager Cao, and said anxiously: "Empress Dowager, I am Li Zongquan, Li Qian, the eldest son of Fujian General Li Changqing. Go away! Lord Cao has been killed. The emperor and Zhenguo Gong are coming here with people, saying that they are going to force you to return the power to the emperor..."
"What did you say?" Empress Dowager Cao couldn't hide the shock in her heart, and stood up in a hurry, and asked again with a trembling voice, "What did you say just now?"
Maybe Empress Dowager Cao never dreamed that she would have such a day!
Li Qian thought to himself, but his voice became more and more anxious, and he said, "Empress Dowager, I didn't lie to you. If you don't believe it, just send someone out to see it. They should be here soon, so you should follow me quickly! Keep the green mountains and don't worry about the lack of firewood. It's too late, so you should follow me quickly! I discovered it by accident, afraid of disturbing others, and came alone... There are also several guards behind me to cover me, and I don't know where now... As long as you arrive at Shuimu, you'll be fine, and the dragon boats will be stopped there... I heard from my father that the commander of the five cities' military commanders are loyal to the Empress Dowager. As long as you enter the city, it's good..."
He was incoherent, but Empress Dowager Cao widened her eyes.
People can only speak like this when they encounter danger.
It can be seen that Li Qian’s statement is true!
She stared at Li Qian's eyes tightly.
There is fear, tension, fear, nervousness, and trepidation, and forced calmness... but it doesn't plan!
It seems that this is true!
Empress Dowager Cao raised her hand and all the teacups and tin dishes on the coffee table were swept to the ground.
"Xiao Caosheng, his wings grew hard. He dared to change his palace!" Her eyes widened, and there seemed to be a ball of fire burning in her eyes, and her face was full of anger and her expression became a little distorted.
Li Qian was shocked.
But in a flash, the anger in Empress Dowager Cao's eyes turned into full of hatred. She gritted her teeth and controlled her emotions and ordered the palace maids around her: "Go and call Cheng Dehai over to me, and then serve me to change clothes. Let's leave now!" The last sentence was what Li Qian said.
Li Qian suddenly admired him.
Make a decision quickly and be brave and firm. Not to mention Empress Dowager Cao, a woman who lives in the deep palace, even those who often make contributions on the battlefield are rarely so responsible. No wonder Empress Dowager Cao became the first Empress Dowager in the dynasty to rule the country from behind the curtain.
Can Jiang Zhenyuan beat her?
As sympathy passed by, Li Qian immediately cleaned up all the things in his mind and began to help Queen Mother Cao clean up: "Do you see if there is any place that can be used for mine?"
Empress Dowager Cao had recovered from Rusong's standing posture at this time and praised him, "Your father can teach you a son like you, which shows that he has put a lot of effort into you. When I see your father, I will thank him very well."
Li Qian was like all ambitious young people who were praised by the peak, and his face was red with excitement and could not speak for a long time.
Empress Dowager Cao quickly went in and changed into an ordinary bag and brought out a royal blue bag.
Her wet nurse, Mrs. An Cheng, followed her like a frightened little bird.
The palace maid who went to find Cheng Dehai has not come back yet.
Empress Dowager Cao thought for a moment and said, "We won't wait anymore. I'll find a way to go to Shuimu's personal dock."
Mrs. Ancheng whispered "yes", but like the people in the house, she did not follow Empress Dowager Cao. Instead, two inconspicuous eunuchs followed Empress Dowager Cao, one left and one right.
Li Qian couldn't help but look at Mrs. Ancheng.
Empress Dowager Cao had already raised her foot and walked out.
Li Qian hurriedly followed.
Empress Dowager Cao then whispered to Li Qian: "What the emperor wants is me. Follow me. They are even more unsafe. Besides, we can't take these people away."
Li Qian nodded and couldn't help but look up at Empress Dowager Cao again.
He whispered: "I have already told my people that if they can escape the danger, two people stayed at Shuimu's own dock, and the others rushed to Dehui Palace."
Empress Dowager Cao nodded, was silent for a few breaths, and said softly: "Cao Guozhu is really gone?"
"I didn't see it with my own eyes." Li Qian felt that it would be better to make Empress Dowager Cao feel isolated and helpless. No one except the Li family could save her. The editor said, "I had some conflicts with Princess Jianan before. I rested in the veranda room at the East Palace Gate. Because I was in a bad mood, I couldn't sleep. I wandered outside. I heard the sound of swords and swords hitting. Following the sound, I found that four or five guards were tied together and pulled their swords. But looking like that, they were all from the Imperial Guards. I was very curious. Just as I was about to step forward, one of them was stabbed to the ground by the other three, and there was no movement.
“Those guys threw the thorned people into the grass and walked fearlessly.
“I felt unusual only then.
"I thought for a long time before I got to the stabbed person.
"The man was not dead yet. When he saw me coming, he had only time to say, "The Empress Dowager was in danger, and the commander was killed," and died...
"I didn't know what happened at that time. I was worried about the safety of the emperor, so I sneaked into Renshou Hall carefully. Only then did I realize that the one who killed Commander Cao was the emperor's intention.
"I rushed over..."
Empress Dowager Cao's face turned pale, her teeth were squeaking, and a surging hatred overflowed from her eyes, causing Li Qian, who had been led by Li Changqing and crawled through the pile of dead people since she was a child, tortured.
He sighed in his heart.
In the past, I underestimated Empress Dowager Cao too much.
If he had more contact with Empress Dowager Cao and had more knowledge about Empress Dowager Cao, I wonder if he still had the courage to follow Jiang Zhenyuan!
The group quickly passed through the yard and arrived at Paiyun Hall.
But the gate of Paiyun Hall was pushed open with a rumbling sound.
Zhao Yi and Jiang Zhenyuan appeared in the eyes of Empress Dowager Cao and Li Qian, surrounded by several eunuchs carrying lanterns.
Empress Dowager Cao paused and looked at him.
Under the light, Zhao Yi's white cheeks rose two bright red balls, his eyes were as bright as stars, and his spirit was shining with ambition, and his complacent pride and pride were full of confidence.
Jiang Zhenyuan's face was hidden in front of the light half-light and half-dark, and his expression was not clear.
Li Qian hurriedly stepped forward a few steps and stood in front of Empress Dowager Cao.
Empress Dowager Cao patted Li Qian on the shoulder and signaled Li Qian to stand aside. Then she didn't even look at Zhao Yi, and her eyes fell on Jiang Zhenyuan and said coldly: "Jiang Zhenyuan, several generations of loyal and wise men in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, I didn't expect to be destroyed in your hands. You are so brave, you dare to instigate the emperor to coronize the Queen Mother!"

Dear friends, today's update.
ps: The Empress Dowager is divided into "Mother Queen Mother Queen" and "Holy Queen Mother Queen". "Mother Queen Queen Mother Queen" refers to the emperor's legitimate mother, that is, the first wife of the late emperor. "Holy Queen Mother Queen Mother" refers to the emperor's biological mother.
Someone asked me, let me explain here.
