Memoirs of the Heavenly Khan

Chapter 97 The Moon in My Arms

Late at night, in the palace.

"Xuan Hui! Xuan Hui!"

Queen Hu gently pushed her sister, and seeing that she did not wake up, she quietly got up and put on her shoes.

Outside the palace, Yuan Mingyue had already been waiting.

Under her leadership, Queen Hu quietly left the palace and came to Yuan Mingyue's residence.

Li Shengui's voice came from inside.

"Tianba, why did you bring me here so late at night?"

The door slowly opened, and the moment he saw Queen Hu, Li Shengui glanced at Li Shuang with disbelief in his eyes.

Li Shuang smiled and left the house, leaving Queen Hu and Li Shengui alone in the house.

After a long conversation, the faint sound of crying could be heard. Then, the crying stopped and other sounds were heard.

Li Shuang calculated it.

It took Li Shengui less than three minutes from sternly refusing to surrendering.

Queen Hu is still very resourceful!
In the night wind, Li Shuang and Yuan Mingyue stared at each other under the eaves.

It was the first time that Yuan Mingyue had such close contact with Li Shuang. Looking at his appearance, she didn't expect that this legendary bandit looked surprisingly good.

"You said the Queen Mother is such a noble person, why would she be so in love with a man?"

Yuan Mingyue asked Li Shuang boldly, full of girlish innocence.

Anyway, they are all in the same boat now, and no one can escape if the boat capsizes.

"How should I know? I'm still a boy!"

Yuan Mingyue blushed and turned his back, ignoring the man who was teasing him.

Li Shuang thought it was quite interesting and made another joke.

"Why, don't you know what a boy is?"

Yuan Mingyue turned around, stared at Li Shuang and spat lightly.

"Damn you!"

After saying this, Yuan Mingyue stood still like a statue.

As a lady-in-waiting in the palace, treating oneself as a statue, unable to hear or see, seems to be a compulsory course.

But soon, Yuan Mingyue could no longer pretend to be a statue.

Hu Xuanhui is here!
Yuan Mingyue wanted to stop him, but her slender body was no match for him.

But Hu Xuanhui pushed Yuan Mingyue away, and Li Shuang quickly took her in.

"Are you OK!"

Yuan Mingyue scratched her hand and was in so much pain that tears were about to come out. She was anxious and aggrieved, and said:

"Don't worry about me, go stop her!"

"it is good!"

Li Shuang helped Yuan Mingyue up and was about to turn around when Hu Xuanhui had already walked to the door and pushed it open.

From inside the room, Queen Hu's exclamation was heard.

"How could you do such a shameful thing!"

"Sister, don't tell anyone, I beg you!"

"How can this be good, how can this be good!"

……

Yuan Mingyue, who was outside the room, was very anxious and almost in tears.

After this incident, the Queen Mother still didn’t know how to punish her!
Li Shuang looked at her, hugged her in his arms, and comforted her softly:
"Don't cry, don't cry!"

"But...what should I do?"

"Life will find a way!"

"what are you talking about?"

"There's no point in being anxious. How about I take you to get some medicinal wine to rub it on? Look at how your little hand is injured."

Yuan Mingyue cried, her little face red.

"I don't have the energy to rub medicinal wine. If I mess up the job, I'll lose my head."

To Yuan Mingyue's surprise, Queen Hu in the room not only had no intention of punishing her, but instead closed the door and went to discuss things in private.

"How is this going?"

"I've said before that things between men and women are too complicated, and not something that boys and girls like us can understand."

Li Shuang blew on Yuan Mingyue's little hand and said with some heartache:
"Does it still hurt?"

Yuan Mingyue only then noticed that the posture between her and Li Shuang was extremely ambiguous at this moment.

"Let me go!"

Yuan Mingyue struggled a bit and broke free from Li Shuang's arms, her face even redder than before. "Does your hand still hurt?"

Yuan Mingyue nodded, her voice as soft as a mosquito's.

"Ok!"

"Then let's go to the rub bar!"

Yuan Mingyue asked pitifully:

"Is it far?"

"Not far, just in my room."
-
Loyalty Arch.

"Master, there's a fire in Luoyang City!"

After hearing the news, Hou Jing jumped up from the bed.

"Go and see what's going on?"

Hou Jing waited anxiously in the house until his scouts came back to report.

"There's a fire in the palace. It looks like Yuan Yi is responsible!"

"Great!"

Hou Jing was very excited and gave orders.

"Gather the troops and split into two groups."

"Why?"

"My lord has ordered that if we see a fire in the north, we should go to Prime Minister Yuan Yong's residence."

"What?"

"Set the fire first, then put it out!"
-
The situation in the palace was completely different from before.

It can be said that offense and defense are easy to use.

Empress Hu looked solemn, but Hu Xuanhui was crying.

"Impossible, Yuan Yi doesn't have that much courage."

Empress Hu did not listen to Hu Xuanhui's explanation because the facts were already clear.

Yuan Yi gathered his followers and wanted to capture the palace and use the emperor to control the world.

Queen Hu had no idea.

"Your Majesty and Prime Minister Yuan Yong are both in the palace right now. What should we women do?"

Li Shengui felt a little embarrassed when he saw the two sisters, but Empress Hu's gaze was already looking at him.

"We only have 3,000 soldiers. It's already difficult to protect the palace, and I'm afraid we don't have enough strength to rescue the imperial palace!"

Queen Hu had some doubts.

"Why?"

Li Shengui was familiar with the Imperial Guards, so he said:
"They only have 3,000 people!"

"What about that?"

"My brother-in-law still has 500 troops hidden in Zhongyifang. As long as they are willing to send troops, they may be able to fight."

Queen Hu and her sister looked at each other, both at a loss.

"But aren't there fewer people?"

Li Shengui said:

"That's a lot! That's a full 500 people!"

Empress Hu was a little dizzy after being confused by Li Shengui, and said helplessly:

"Then quickly find Li Shuang!"

At this moment, she looked around and realized:
"Where's that girl Mingyue? Why is she gone?"
-
Li Shengui finally found Li Shuang and came to discuss countermeasures.

Queen Hu discovered that after Li Shuang came, Yuan Mingyue followed in like a kitten, with red cheeks.

But at this moment, she no longer had the mind to worry about these details.

Empress Hu wanted Li Shuang to send troops, but he refused:
"I'm afraid this is difficult to handle!"

Empress Dowager Hu asked anxiously:

"Why?"

"A group of villains, seeing the chaos in the city, went to burn down the Prime Minister's residence. My troops saw this and went to put out the fire!"

Queen Hu was furious.

"It's already this late, and you still have the mind to put out the fire. Let them all come back. As long as they can save His Majesty, I will give them whatever they ask for!"

"This……"

Seeing that Li Shuang was still hesitating, Empress Hu gritted her teeth and said:
"If you can save His Majesty, I will make an exception and grant you the title of Duke of a County, with a fiefdom of two thousand households."
