The queen wants to run away every day

Chapter 359 Catch the Way of Yanxi Palace
On the second day after Yu Jia returned to the palace, the Empress Dowager caught a cold at night, contracted the wind and cold, and stayed in bed for several months.And when winter is approaching, Yingyun and the concubines in the harem take turns to serve the sick, and everyone is exhausted.

Because the Queen Mother was still ill, the southern tour originally scheduled for the 26th year of Qianlong was also postponed for one year.

Even the bustling Qianqing palace banquet in previous years was deserted, and the whole palace had a meal and then dispersed.

The emperor was worried about the coldness of the Empress Dowager, after visiting the Palace of Compassion and Ning, he ordered the palace staff to take good care of her, and then went back to the Palace of Mental Cultivation to rest.

Li Yu served the emperor to bed, extinguished the candles in the hall, and tiptoed out the door.

The wind and snow outside were raging, and I lost my eyes if I was not paying attention, but I saw two dark figures whispering in the corridor.

"Who?" Li Yu shouted and walked towards them.

"Greetings to the Chief Manager." Hu Zhong stepped forward and gave Qian'er a slap, and the other figure had disappeared into the wind and snow.

Li Yu only caught sight of a figure from behind, squinted at Hu Zhong, and asked, "Which palace is the person who talked to you just now?"

Hu Zhong lied and said: "It's just a little father-in-law passing by..."

Li Yu groaned with sideways eyes, and said, "I don't know how much your belly weighs? You still want to hide it from me?"

"Director Li..." Hu Zhong was a little timid.

Li Yu sighed with a smile: "What? The imperial concubine Chunhui passed away, which high branch have you climbed?"

Hu Zhong asked in surprise, "You...know everything?"

Li Yu sized him up and said, "I am on duty in front of the imperial court, so my eyes should be brighter. The emperor hates people who convey the holy will in private. If the emperor finds out, your little life will be lost."

Hu Zhong was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he said: "My lord, please don't, the slave just made a little profit, and didn't tell others about the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

Li Yu sneered and said, "Then why don't you tell me who it was just now?"

Only then did Hu Zhong tell the truth: "It's Xiao Lingzi from Yanxi Palace."

"Grand Concubine Ling?" Li Yu narrowed his eyes, turned to look at him with a smile, and said, "You have quite a wide network, and you have found the way of Yanxi Palace so quickly?"

Hu Zhong bowed his head and said in shame: "I know I was wrong, please forgive me this time."

Li Yu thought about it, only the whistling wind could be heard in his ears, and after a while, he said: "You are usually clever, why can't you turn your head now? If I want to report you, it would have been long before you and Xianfu Palace secretly You said it when you communicated, so why wait until today?"

Hu Zhong was taken aback for a moment, and then said joyfully, "Thank you, Mr. Manager."

"However..." Li Yu paused, and then said: "If you want to attach to Yanxi Palace, I'm afraid it will be a dead end. You have to think it through yourself."

Hu Zhong didn't quite understand what he meant, and said, "I implore the general manager to make some suggestions."

Li Yu smiled and said, "I'm getting old, and there will always be a capable person in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Do you want to follow me?"

Hu Zhongyan rolled his eyes, Li Yu is the emperor's confidant, and being able to follow him is naturally a hundred times stronger than looking at the face of Yanxi Palace.

Thinking of this, Hu Zhong hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The servant pays homage to the master."

"Get up," Li Yu smiled with satisfaction, and said, "Hu Zhong...unfaithful, you were not loyal to the emperor before, and your name was wasted. After following me, this name will have to be changed ..."

Hu Zhong was taken aback again, and said, "But it's up to the master to make the decision."

Li Yu thought for a while and said, "It's called... Hu Shijie."

Hu Zhong immediately knelt down cleverly and said, "Hu Shijie pays homage to Master."
