Chapter 623

The problem was that Duan Yu had connections with Zhang Rang and the others.

And the more capable such a person was, the greater the threat became when they became a knife in the hands of the eunuchs.

Just like Duan Jiong in the past.

Therefore, the more outstanding Duan Yu performed, the more worried Yang Ci became.

If Duan Yu were truly a mediocre person, Yang Ci wouldn't have to worry.

"Since the Emperor has already issued an edict to summon Duan Yu to Luoyang, you and I naturally cannot stop it," Yang Ci said helplessly.

Yuan Kui smiled slightly and said: "Minister Yang actually doesn't need to worry too much."

"This is the Central Plains, not a place like Bingzhou or Liangzhou."

"Let's see how Duan Yu does after he enters Luoyang this time," Yuan Kui said, narrowing his eyes like an old wolf: "If he is truly determined to be a student of the Son of Heaven, then I'm afraid this Central Plains will make it difficult for him to move even an inch."

Yang Ci, who was hunched over, also nodded.

That's right.

This is the Central Plains.

It is not a remote place like Bingzhou or Liangzhou.

Wanting to walk in the Central Plains without support, one can only struggle to move.

Changqiu Palace, Shaohua Hall.

In the quiet and elegant sleeping hall, decorated with light gauze curtains everywhere, He Lingsi was lying on a soft couch leaning against the window.

Resting her head on her arms, she was closing her eyes and enjoying the massage from her maidservant.

"Your Majesty."

A maidservant dressed in light green palace attire, twenty-eight years of age, came before He Lingsi, knelt on the ground, and said: "Your Majesty, just now this servant heard in Jiade Hall that the Emperor wants to summon the Liangzhou Shepherd, General Who Breaks the Qiang, to Luoyang, and then go south to quell the rebellion."

Hmm?

He Lingsi, who was resting with her eyes closed, immediately opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise.

"What did you say?"

"Say it again?"

The maidservant quickly repeated what she had just said.

"Your Majesty, this servant just heard the Emperor say in Jiade Hall that he wants to issue an edict to summon the Liangzhou Shepherd to Luoyang."

"And it is an eight-hundred-li emergency."

The excited He Lingsi immediately got up from the soft couch.

A look of anticipation also appeared in her beautiful eyes.

"This heartless man, he's been gone for so long and doesn't even know how to send me any news."

"It's a pity I'm still thinking about him."

After getting up, He Lingsi thought for a moment, then got up from the soft couch.

"Go."

"Take my token, go to the Imperial Physician's mansion, and invite my sister; tell her I miss her and ask her to enter the palace to meet me," He Lingsi said.

The maidservant nodded and agreed, then took He Lingsi's token and left the palace.

Before long, He Lingman, dressed in a long black dress, her figure looking much fuller than last year, twisted her slender waist and arrived at the side hall of the Changqiu Palace.

In the side hall of the Changqiu Palace, He Lingsi, wearing a light golden long dress, with colorful phoenixes embroidered with gold and red thread on the cuffs and collar, and a white gauze coat over it, was sitting in the main seat.

"Greetings to the Empress."

After He Lingman walked into the hall, she bowed to He Lingsi.

He Lingsi charmingly covered her red lips and laughed softly, then beckoned to He Lingman:

"It's been many days, sister, why have you become so polite?"

"It seems this body has also become much fuller; have you been stealing food outside?"

He Lingsi looked at He Lingman with a light laugh.

He Lingman walked to the position to the lower left of He Lingsi and sat down behind the desk where wine, pastries, and fruits were placed.

She poured herself a cup from a silver pot filled with fine wine.

"Sister, you really know how to joke; after tasting that kind of taste, can you still be interested in other men?"

He Lingman's words struck He Lingsi's heartstrings directly.

Recalling that tall and sturdy figure, He Lingsi felt as if countless small insects were crawling on her body, making her feel unbearable.

"Sister called me here, I don't know what for?" He Lingman looked at He Lingsi and asked.

"Naturally, it's a good thing."

As soon as He Lingsi's voice fell.

He Lingman, who was holding the wine cup, suddenly froze.

The look in her eyes when she looked at He Lingsi changed.

"Is he coming?" He Lingman exclaimed.

He Lingsi raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Sister is truly clever; I haven't even said it, and sister has already guessed it."

"Is he really coming?" He Lingman asked in disbelief.

He Lingsi nodded with a smile.

"The Emperor summoned him to Luoyang, preparing to go to Yingchuan to suppress the rebellion."

"I presume he will arrive in Luoyang in a few days."

"I told you this news, sister, I presume you also know why, right?"

He Lingsi's smile had a hidden meaning.

He Lingman naturally understood it instantly.

Last time before Duan Yu left, she never thought that such a thing would happen.

"Sister, I told you this news, just to tell you, this time you must not eat alone again, otherwise sister will be angry." ===== CHAPTER 625 =====
