It took nearly an hour to go to the morning court.

Outside the magnificent hall, the civil and military officials in the court were still waiting in the cold wind, and there were still two groups of people clearly separated, and very few were wandering outside the two groups.

Discussion is inevitable.

It is strange today. It seems that this situation has never happened. Since Empress Shen Zhao ascended the throne, she has been extremely diligent. Although she has been in the court for many times, there are reasons for it, involving some major events, or a game with Wu Xukuan.

This is the first time that people like today who keep going on court but miss the morning court.

And just the day before, Kang Longji, who was rumored to be bedridden, went to court.

No one knows whether there is a connection between the two.

Wu Xukuan was closing his eyes and resting, turning a deaf ear to the surroundings. He had his own plans in his mind. Originally, he wanted to get sick today, because Kang Longji returned to the court, which would be very unfavorable to him in the court!

But he thought about it again and again and came to court!

Because he considered that just like the concession the day before, the public opinion of the capital had begun to be unfavorable to him. Although there was also rumors that Kang Longji was returning to the scene, as long as Kang Longji was still alive, the rumors would not have a substantial help to him.

He was already timid yesterday!

Can't continue to be cowardly!

I was so scared that I didn’t even dare to go to the morning court, which was not conducive to stabilizing people’s hearts!

So when Wu Xukuan comes, he wants to stabilize people's hearts and confirm his own ideas. He wants to see how many days can Kanglongji last?

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!…

The bell to go to court finally rang.

The discussion outside the hall stopped suddenly, and they all looked up at the entrance of the hall, and then lined up automatically, just like Li Guangshan and Wu Xukuan, who led the team to walk up the steps.

Ministers of civil and military entered the hall.

Seeing that the empress was already sitting on the high platform, Zhou An stood on the left side of the empress, but Kang Longji was not seen.

Many people's faces changed slightly. They glanced in the hall, but still couldn't find Kang Longji's figure. Kang Longji came yesterday, but not today. This... can almost testify to the rumor of "returning back".

But no one can tell the truth.

"Go to court!!" Zhou An proclaimed sharply.

"See the Emperor, long live my emperor!"

"The Lords are calm."

"If you have something to report, you will leave the court without a foundation!"

"Report to the Lord, I have a memorial to report..."

Everything seems to be very normal!

The empress sat on the high platform with a magnificent expression, while Zhou An was a worker with a expressionless face.

This was an extremely calm morning court. Perhaps it could be said that it was the most normal morning court since Empress Shen Zhao ascended the throne. The emperor had the majesty of the emperor, and the courtesy of the ministers.

Donggan seemed to have returned to a hundred years ago overnight. A hundred years ago, the morning court of the Donggan court in that period was like this. The power was in the hands of the emperor. No minister dared to contradict the emperor in the morning court, and forcing the emperor to abdicate was even more impossible. It would kill the whole family!

The whole morning court lasted for less than an hour.

Only when a matter of great importance can one be discussed in the morning court. The others are handed over and waited for the emperor to review. What can now be called important are just a few big and small rebellions and disaster relief matters.

Nothing else is considered important.

The most important thing is that the affairs between Wu Xukuan and the Empress lasted for several months, but there was no such thing as the morning court on this day.

Wu Xukuan never said anything!

He just watched!

He could feel that the empress in the court on the morning of this day was a little stronger than before, like an emperor holding great power. The empress could do this because of Kang Longji. Although Kang Longji did not come today, she came yesterday.

So the empress has confidence!

An extremely normal morning court!

It’s normal that people always feel that something is wrong, but most people can’t imagine what’s wrong!

Wu Xukuan felt that the more normal it is, the more abnormal it is. At this critical period, any normality is abnormal and something must have happened.

*******

After morning court.

On the extremely huge square, Long Yan followed a group of eunuchs and palace maids, and walked inward without any rushing.

Zhou An followed the dragon chariot without saying a word.

The empress sat in the dragon chariot and had lost the majesty and domineering that the emperor should have. She seemed very tired, very tired and haggard, and her brows were always tightened.

"Xiao Anzi..." The empress suddenly spoke.

"Master, here is the slave." Zhou An replied.

"You said... can you deceive Wu Xukuan? What if he asked him to know about Kang Gong's death?"

"The Master, I think that I can only take one step at the moment. The matter of the Grand Duke cannot be hidden... In a few days, Wu Xukuan will know that at that time, I am afraid it will be..."

"Xiao Anzi, just say it just by saying something."

"Master, you have to make plans early. If this Qianjing City is in chaos, I feel that you should avoid its edge first. Your safety is related to the destiny of the country and the country. You are not careless and you cannot act voluntarily..."

What Zhou An said can be said to be extremely explicit and unrestrained.

But the empress did not scold Zhou An, but was silent.

The eunuchs and palace maids around Longyan all heard Zhou An’s conversation with the empress.

They all heard that Zhou An was letting the empress run away!

Once there is a change, you will escape from Qianjing!

The dragon chariot stopped outside Qianwu Palace.

Zhou An helped the empress get off the carriage and walked into Qianwu Palace together. After returning to Qianyuan Palace, Zhou An asked all the palace maids and eunuchs who served in Qianyuan Palace to go out.

The only two of them were left in the hall.

The empress's frowning face finally stretched out. She sat on the dragon chaise with her head tilted, and supported her forehead with her hands, looking so tired.

Tired is really tired!

From last night to now, the empress has been in a state of performance most of the time, and most of the time it is to express a false and complex emotion, especially the performance of the morning court, which seems the simplest, but actually the most difficult!

Because she wants to deceive her own people and enemies at the same time!

She wanted to give everyone a feeling that Kang Longji was there and she was confident, but she also wanted to make Wu Xukuan feel indefinitely because it was wrong for Kang Longji not to attend court. The so-called intelligence was mistaken by intelligence, and she had to let Wu Xukuan mislead herself!

At the same time, she also had to make the people in the palace feel that the confidence she showed was actually a kind of guilt, because she was afraid that Wu Xukuan would find that Kang Longji was dead, so she acted like that. But in fact, she wanted Wu Xukuan to believe that Kang Longji was really dead!

Very complex!

It was Zhou An who taught her to do that.

"Xiao Anzi, do you think... will I really fall into the position of leaving Qianjing City? If I get to that point, alas!" the empress sighed and asked.

"Master, what did you say?" Zhou An picked up the apple in the fruit plate, wiped it, and handed it to the empress.

The two of them said so on the way back, naturally they were also doing a show, in order to shake the hearts of the big inner people and prompt some people to betray them. They will all testify to Kang Longji's death.

"No?" the empress took a bite of the apple and asked again.

"Of course not, the slave can assure the emperor." Zhou An smiled.

"Hmph!" The empress made a nasal sound and looked at Zhou An with a squint, "You promise? Yes, you are so capable, even those who are big dare to do anything to me, but you dare to promise..."

It's nerve-wracking again.

Zhou An did not respond and did not give her a chance to continue talking.

The empress looked at Zhou An with a look of anger.

From last night to now, Kang Longji has been tortured by Zhou An. She is still lying in the coffin to pretend to be dead. The empress is also tortured by Zhou An. She is crying, screaming, normal, uncomfortable and haggard... but Zhou An has nothing to do, so comfortable.

Zhou Anshu, the empress was a little resentful. When she was in the morning court, she was so nervous and difficult that she felt in her heart. How she lived like a year was unimaginable to others.

"Xiao Anzi." The empress suddenly called Zhou An again.

"Here is here." Zhou An responded.

"Come on, hug me..." The empress held the half-eat apple and gestured with her arms open.

Zhou An was stunned.
