052 Guo Laowei

After they asked about the place, they went back to the palace together.

After a lot of tossing on White Fish Island, the two people's clothes were ragged and blue, looking like beggars.

They looked at each other, and both of them thought it was very funny.

For good, they still have silver on them. They bought some food on the way and went straight to the capital.

Two people are extremely happy in their hearts, and they have a kind of joy for the rest of their lives after the disaster.

That kind of joy is burning like a fire in their hearts, making them feel indescribably happy and gratified.

After they arrived in the capital, they were just about to enter the gate. When they saw the lights in the city, it seemed that something big had happened. They all felt very strange.

They walked in and saw the gatekeeper and asked, "What happened in the city? Why is it so strange?"

The gatekeeper looked at them and saw that they were blue and dressed like beggars. He said to them coldly, "If you guess correctly, you must be from other places, right?"

Huangfu Shangyin was just about to say something. Murong Qingluo had already pulled him and said repeatedly, "Yes, we are indeed from other places. Excuse me, what's going on?"

The man then smiled and said to them, "You don't know anything. If the new emperor wants to ascend the throne, it will be celebrated in the city."

"What? Is the new emperor going to the throne? How could it be like this..."

Huangfu Shangyin's face suddenly became difficult to look, and he asked repeatedly, "As far as I know, the emperor Huangfu Shangyin is still alive. Why did the new emperor ascend the throne?"

"How dare you say the name of the former emperor? Be careful to be caught and executed!"

The bodyguard glanced at him coldly, but he didn't seem to want to argue with him.

"What? You mean the emperor? What's wrong with Huangfu Shangyin? Huangfu Shang asked angrily.

"You are not allowed to mention the name of the emperor, and you also mention the name of the emperor. I heard that the former emperor has died. He died of a disease. Now the new emperor, the evergreen king, is on the throne.

"Why is it like this? When will the enthronement ceremony start? Huangfu Shang asked anxiously.

"I heard that it's about to start, it's noon today."

The two looked at it and found that it was only two hours away from noon, and they suddenly became a little nervous.

Huangfu Shangyin just wanted to continue to ask about something, and Murong Qingluo had pulled him aside.

Murong Qingluo whispered to him, "Don't say anything more. If you say it again, it's not good to show your horse's feet. Let's go to the city quickly."

"Didn't you find it? As soon as I left, someone wanted to replace me, and I didn't know what kind of wolf ambition it was.

"What's the use of losing your temper here?"

Murong Qinglu looked at him coldly and said to him, "We should arrive first to see what's going on, right? Even if you lose your temper here, it won't be good.

Huangfu Shangyin nodded, so the two walked forward together, and soon they walked to the gate of the palace.

Huangfu Shangyin looked around and said to Murong Qingluo, "Let's go into the palace quickly."

Murong Qinglu grabbed him, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, don't act rashly."

Seeing that she did not let her go back to the palace, Huangfu Shangyin was suddenly angry and said to her repeatedly, "What do you mean? Why don't you let me go back to the palace? If I don't go back to the palace quickly, I will definitely be robbed of the throne. If you take away my throne, how will you face the ancestors in the future?

"Your Majesty, someone wants to be the emperor now. Doesn't he know whether the emperor is dead or alive now? The emperor is still alive now, and there are already people who can't wait. What does this mean? This shows that others have been deployed for a long time. If you go in so rashly, do you think you will have a way to live?

After listening to her words, Huangfu Shangyin's face suddenly became difficult to look.

He asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?"

"It's very simple. What I mean is that we must find a way to enter the palace secretly. We must not be found out. I believe that those who want to ascend the throne must have been deployed for a long time. If you find out, you will not be killed. The two of us are weak, and how can we be the opponents of a large number of bodyguards in the palace? Do you understand what I mean?

"Do you think someone did it on purpose this time?"

"How do I know whether it is or not?" Murong Qinglu's voice is still cold.

"However, it's better to be measured than not. What do you think?"

Huangfu Shangyin thought about it carefully and felt that what she said was very reasonable.

Since someone wants to do this this time, it may be deployed.

He nodded and said, "Well, even if what you said makes sense, what should we do now?"

He looked at Murong Qingqi very nervously. At this moment, he could hardly calm down.

The whole thing happened so suddenly.

Less than ten days after they left, a great event happened in the palace.

Even if someone wants to be emperor, what does the Empress Dowager think?

Is the Empress Dowager watching others replace his throne?

Or has the Empress Dowager been poisoned?

He can hardly think now.

Seeing his nervous appearance, Murong Qinglu became more and more quiet.

Murong Qingluo knows that there must be one person who is not nervous at this time, otherwise, the two of them will have to die.

She said slowly to Huangfu Shangyin, "Don't worry. Think about who is trustworthy in this palace. We will go to find that kind of loyal ministers. We must not find the wrong person. If you find the wrong person, maybe your throne will be taken away by others."

After listening to Murong Qingruo's words, he thought about it carefully, and then said to Murong Qingruo, "I thought about it carefully. It seems that there is only one Du Guolao. This Du Guolao is an old minister of the Three Dynasties. He has been assisting the government since the era of my grandfather. He has always been respected and loved by my grandfather. It's just that I don't know why, but later he suddenly returned to his hometown. Let's go to Du Guolao.

"Okay, let's go to Du Guolao." She nodded and said to Huangfu Shangyin.

So, the two went to find Du Guolao together, and soon they came outside Du Guolao's house.

At this time, a young man with red lips and white teeth, dressed in gorgeous clothes, came out.

After he came out and looked around, he saw that there was no one next to him, so he suddenly shook the folding fan in his hand and was ready to leave.

Murong Qinglu just took a look and recognized that this was his daughter's family.

She stepped forward and shouted softly, "Girl."

The fake man dressed as a man looked back and saw Murong Qinglu, so he said to her with a smile, "Girl, who are you calling? Are you calling me?"

With that, she stretched out her hand and squeezed her face, trying to flirt with Murong Qinglu.

Murong Qinglu has already grabbed her hand.

Murong Qingluo gently used a little effort, and her hands were already creaking, screaming in pain.

It took a lot of effort to shake Murong Qinglu's hand away and said to her angrily, "Hey, you're crazy. Why are you hitting me? What's wrong with you?"

Murong Qingruo smiled slowly at her and said, "This girl, you must be someone from Mr. Du. Please take us in to find Mr. Du."

"What? What are you looking for my grandfather? What are you looking for?

After she said this, she realized that she had said something wrong, and quickly stretched out her white jade-like fingers and covered her mouth.

Huangfu Shangyin came forward to look at her and said with a smile, "As far as I know, Du Guolao has two granddaughters, a granddaughter named Du Qianyi, and a granddaughter named Du Ruoyi. Are you Qianyi or Ruoyi?"

Seeing her identity so easily, she was recognized. The girl suddenly stamped her feet, muttered and said to them, "It's boring. You can see through my identity so easily. Who are you? I'm Ruoyi. What are you looking for my grandfather for?

"It turned out to be Du Ruoyi, the second lady of the Du family."

Huangfu Shangyin looked at her with a heavy look and said slowly, "I'll discuss with your grandfather about a national event. You help me bring this token to your grandfather, and your grandfather will understand what's going on. Take it in."

Du Ruoyi looked at him strangely, but still nodded to help take the token in.

Not long after, I saw Mr. Du come out in person.

Murong Qinglu looked up at the old man and saw that he was about 70 years old. His hair was gray and his face was full of wrinkles. He looked very old.

After he came out, he would kneel down to Huangfu Shangyin.

Huangfu Shangyin has hurriedly helped him up and said to him, "Guo Lao, let's go in and talk about it later."

Mr. Du nodded and led him in together.

After entering, Huangfu Shangyin asked, "Does the old man know that the capital has changed suddenly recently?"

Du Guolao coughed twice and said repeatedly, "I haven't heard about this court for a long time. How can I know? I don't know what's wrong with you coming today?"

He has long known the identity of Huangfu Shangyin, but he doesn't say anything, which shows his strength.

Huangfu Shangyin said to him truthfully, "Well, something happened to me a few days ago. I wandered outside for a while. When I came back, I found that the sky had changed in the palace. Now someone is going to ascend the throne at noon, so I specially came to the old gang of Du. I also ask Mr. Du to help me."

With that, he saluted Mr. Du.

Du Guolao was silent after listening to it.

After a long time, he said, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but you can also see that I'm so old that I'm too old, and I'm not strong enough about things in the court. Do you understand?"

"So what? I know that Mr. Du, you will definitely be able to help me. Mr. Du beg you. Now no one can help me except you. Otherwise, what if the court falls into the hands of others?

Huangfu Shangyin was almost pleading with Du Guolao, but Du Guolao still didn't say a word.

Mr. Du thought about it for a long time before he raised his head and looked at him and said, "My country is always the important minister of the three dynasties of the court. It can be said that he did his best to assist the court. However, when it came to the dynasty of the former emperor, the former emperor actually thought that the old power of his country would feast the sky. He was afraid that the old man's achievements would be high, so he casually found a reason to let the old man return to his hometown. What else do you think needs to be managed by the old man in this court?

Listening to his tone, he was obviously a little dissatisfied with what the previous emperor did.

The Huangfu Shangyin didn't know what to say for a while.

Murong Qingluo has already said beside him, "The emperor's idea is the emperor's idea, but the emperor's idea is the emperor's idea. Why didn't Du Guolao help the emperor this time? Even if the new emperor ascends the throne, he may not reuse the old. However, if the emperor can return to the court, the old man will save the important minister. At that time, the emperor will definitely not forget the great kindness of the old man.

These words of Murong Qinglu moved Mr. Du's heart.

Mr. Du bowed his head for a while and said, "Okay, but please ask the emperor to agree to an old man's request."

"You can feel free to say anything you want. As long as I can do it, I will promise you." He said quickly.

"In fact, the old man is not an insatiable person. The old man's idea is very simple, that is, I hope that after you successfully return to the court, you can can title the old granddaughter Qianyi as the queen. I don't know what the emperor wants?"

"This..." As he spoke, he looked at Murong Qinglu.

Murong Qingluo quickly said loudly, "The emperor can naturally agree to this request."

Du Guolao thought for a moment and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, you don't have to agree so in such a hurry. As far as I know, you have married Princess Murong of the Mingjing Kingdom as a concubine. According to common sense, you should have canonize Princess Murong as a queen."

"That's right. Even if the emperor makes me queen, I'm willing to give up the throne, so that you can rest assured."

As she spoke, she looked at Mr. Du.

Du Guolao looked at her and quickly asked, "Are you Murong Qinglu?"

"Yes, I'm Murong Qinglu."

"Okay, with your words, I will promise you."

He thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, in that case, let's settle this matter. There is no other way now. I will take you to see the bodyguard now."

With that, he stood up, and the people next to him quickly helped him.

Soon, they came to the main hall together.

He said something in the ear of a person beside him, and the man promised to leave quickly.

Huangfu Shangyin waited anxiously there.

After about half an hour, I saw that the servant had come in with a man.

After the man came in, he quickly knelt down to Du Guolao and said repeatedly, "Students see the teacher. I don't know what's wrong with the teacher coming to the students at this time?"

"Look who is in front of you?" As Mr. Du said, he pointed to Huangfu Shangyin.

He looked up and saw that it was the emperor. He said in surprise, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

"Yes, the old man asked you to come to see the emperor. It is indeed very hateful that there are thieves who take the opportunity to make trouble today. As the leader of the bodyguards, are you on the side of the emperor or on the side of the thieves?"

After hearing Du Guolao ask such a question, he thought for a moment and quickly said, "On which side the teacher stands, the student is willing to stand on which side, and everything is up to the teacher."

It can be seen that although Mr. Du usually doesn't care about things in the palace, he still has a good position in the court.

He smiled and said, "Buncle, what are you talking about? You are on which side of the teacher. Naturally, we are on the side of the emperor. The emperor is the foundation of the court. Now that the emperor is in trouble, we should naturally assist the emperor with all our strength, right?"

"Yes, what the teacher said is very reasonable." He nodded quickly and said.

"Well, in that case, your Majesty, let's go to the palace now."

Mr. Du was about to stand up.

The bodyguard leader hurried forward to help Du Guolao, so they entered the palace together.

And Murong Qinglu didn't say a word.

After reading all this carefully, she finally understood that Du Guolao was indeed a pivotal person in the court.

Whether it's Huangfu Shang's faint and mediocre or Qingming, since he knows how to come to him, he hasn't found the wrong person this time.

Soon, they came to the gate of the palace together.

When everyone saw that Du Guolao was coming, they gave way one after another and let Du Guolao in.

Mr. Du walked in with the bodyguard leader Lian Haishan.

They came all the way to the Longhua Hall and saw many ministers gathered in it. Obviously, they were already preparing for the new emperor's accession ceremony.

Suddenly seeing Mr. Du coming, the ministers greeted Mr. Du one after another.

When I walked to the hall, I saw Evergreen King Fu Yueshan standing in the center, while the Empress Dowager was sitting on the throne.

The Empress Dowager holds a crown in her hand and is waiting for Huangfuyue Mountain to come to crown her.

Huangfu Shangyin came forward and shouted repeatedly, "Queen Mother!"

The Empress Dowager looked back and saw that the crown in her hand almost fell to the ground.

She shouted in surprise, "Your Majesty, is it really you?"

"Yes, the mother-in-law is indeed a son-in-law, and the son-in-law came back by chance."

The empress dowager suddenly put the crown in her hand on the table, stood up, walked down to Huangfu Shangyin's side, stretched out his hand and touched his face, and said repeatedly, "Your Majesty, you came back alive. I heard Hongyan say that you went to the Black Forest. I thought you couldn't come back."

"Mother, my son is still alive." He said repeatedly.

"It's good to be alive, that's good." With that, the mother and son hugged and cried.

The evergreen king's face changed greatly. When he saw Huangfu Shangyin coming back alive, his face became ugly.

But after hesitating for a long time, he still walked to Huangfu Shangyin and said to him, "Brother, you are back."

"Yes, I came back alive, brother," he looked up at Huangfu Yueshan and said to him, "I really didn't expect that you really want to be the emperor."
