Step on a branch

Chapter 229
Passing through the long palace road, seeing the palace gate just ahead, the little maid next to her lowered her shoulders and breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Luan couldn't help but smile when he saw it.

Meeting Zhao Qi whose eyes are not eyes and whose nose is not a nose made the little palace maid quite nervous.

Qin Luan pursed her lips.

She will not regard this meeting as "accidental".

As Concubine Shu said, the emperor asked Concubine Shu to call her into the palace, it was absolutely impossible to reward her with a few things.

The emperor is not that kind.

As for when Qin Luan will come and leave, it is not certain.

The time seems to be a bit accidental, but this result is inevitable.

The emperor wanted Zhao Qi to meet her face to face.

As for what effect he needs to achieve, Qin Luan couldn't sum it up completely for a while.

But sure, not now.

Zhao Qi didn't say a word, didn't embarrass him, didn't show any ruthlessness, it was extremely abnormal.

If nothing unusual, conflict, even one-sided conflict, is nine out of ten.

Zhao Qi's anomaly was probably beyond the emperor's expectation.

After leaving the palace gate, Qin Luan returned to the Marquis of Yongning.

Knowing that she came back, Ji's heart was finally relieved.

Qin Luan went to see Mrs. Yongning Hou and explained the situation.

When Madam Hou heard that she was meeting the Second Highness, the corners of Madam Hou's mouth twitched, and the curse words rushed into her throat. She glanced at Qin Luan before swallowing it back.

Forget it, don't ask Aluan to listen to her foul language, and save the old man from complaining about her unrestrained speech in the future.

Taking a breather, Mrs. Hou said: "Nothing happened at that time, so it's the best, but we can't relax, who knows what's going on behind the scenes."

In marching and fighting, the most undesirable things are slack and luck.

In terms of the art of war, build the plank road in the open, and keep the warehouse in the dark.

I only saw that the plank road was being repaired in full swing, and it would be over when the other party passed the old position.

Of course, no one is a god, and no one knows what other strategies are there besides the huge army. No matter how many scouts there are, they may be used instead.

It's like the Yushakou victory just won.

Xiliang only saw one of them, but not the other. Even the scouts were confused by the vanguard of the raid and mistook their target. In the end, the army was defeated like a mountain.

Right now, Jingzhong's position is reversed.

They need to be careful at every step, watch more, think more and prepare more. Even with a scout like Concubine Shu, they can't take it lightly.

Seeing that it has been resolved, who knows what changes will happen in the future.

Or, this meeting itself was building a plank road, and they haven't found out where Chen Cang is.

Can't relax for a moment!

On the other side, Zhao Qi came out from the cold palace.

But in a short period of time, the mother and concubine looked much older.

Rao didn't like mother and concubine rambling, after all, they were also mother and son, seeing her suffer so much, Zhao Qi felt very uncomfortable.

Leng Gong Leng Gong, the palace lives up to its name.

Years of disrepair, a musty smell, cold and damp.

The spring day is bright and bright, but the palace does not feel any spring warmth and flowers blooming.

This is still the case in spring, not to mention how difficult the winter that just passed was.

Zhao Qi couldn't wait for a moment.

How could Concubine Shun fail to see his expression?
"Where does this go?"

"I'm not bad at this. I can maintain my food and drink expenses, and I haven't been deducted."

"There are no good people in the palace. I can survive the day not because they have a conscience, but because I have a son, and in a month or two, I will have a grandson."

"Emperor's eldest grandson, otherwise, she is also an eldest granddaughter, the first one in the palace. Seeing the child's joy, the emperor might let me go out."

"When I go out, what will happen to those who offend me? So they dare not."

"One by one, I am used to seeing the wind and the wind. Once something happens, I am completely hopeless, and that day will be impossible."

"You should bear it for the mother and concubine until the child is born."

"Remember what the concubine mother said, don't be arrogant."

Zhao Qi felt bored listening to the long story, but he knew the truth, so he didn't interrupt.

Concubine Shun hoped that he would listen more, so that he could talk and send people out.

Zhao Qi walked through the corridor and went all the way. He couldn't see the cold palace wall when he turned his head. The afterglow of the setting sun reflected on his body. After a while, the chill on his body dissipated.

He returned to his palace.

Before entering the hall, Zhao Qi heard Jin Shuer's crying and cursing, and his brows furrowed.

These days, it has been like this.

Zhao Qi didn't need to go in to see what was going on.

It must be that Jin Shu'er's leg was very swollen, the maid rubbed her, it was useless if the force was too weak, but she felt pain again if the force was too strong.

Zhao Qi was extremely impatient, he turned around and wanted to leave, but thinking of Concubine Shun's words, he turned half of his body, paused, and then slowly turned back.

Forget it.

Just bear with it.

After entering the inner hall, the palace people saluted one after another.

Jin Shu'er's eyes were red, and she asked, "Where did your Highness go?"

"I was called to the imperial study by my father, and I was scolded for a while." Zhao Qidao.

When Jin Shu'er heard this, she shut up.

The servant served Zhao Qi a cup of tea.

Zhao Qi smelled it, and the fragrance was overflowing, not as good as the one used by the emperor, but...

"It's much better than the one used by my concubine," he murmured.

Jin Shu'er heard it, and asked again: "Did your Highness go down to see Mother and Concubine?"

"Father asked me to go," Zhao Qi felt very uncomfortable when he mentioned this matter, "He also asked Eunuch Xu to deliver a box of snacks to Concubine Mother, hum!"

Jin Shu'er was puzzled: "Bringing snacks to the empress, the emperor still misses the empress, why should His Highness be angry?"

Zhao Qi's jaw was tense.

If that was not his royal father, he would yell at him now!
I can only bear it, so as not to spread it to the ears of the emperor, he will be unlucky, and the mother and concubine will be implicated.

"Why are you angry?" Zhao Qi squinted at Jin Shu'er, "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it."

Jin Shu'er lowered her eyes.

The maid didn't control her strength well, she screamed in pain, and if she didn't dare to complain to Zhao Qi, she went to the maid.

"Do you want to hurt me to death?" She gritted her teeth, "What is your intention?"

The maid fell to her knees with a puff, shrinking her neck, and said "ten thousand deaths".

Zhao Qi got annoyed and interrupted: "If she doesn't press well, she will be replaced. Why are you arguing?"

Jin Shu'er was halfway through the scolding, and suddenly lost her temper, and turned her head away.

The maid hurriedly retreated, and the rest saw that the atmosphere was not right, seeing that Zhao Qi had no intention of keeping them, they also retreated one by one.

In the inner hall, only Zhao Qi and Jin Shu'er were left.

One was silent, the other was crying, the atmosphere was extremely weird.

Zhao Qi repeated the "patience" explained by his mother and concubine, and wanted to comfort Jin Shu'er, but seeing her frown, she felt bored again.

He didn't know how Jin Shu'er became like this.

It turned out that she was not such a bad temper.

She is docile, gentle, and cautious, not the sharp, blaming, and seeking trouble for nothing like she is now.

Changed, like two different people.

Suddenly, Zhao Qi thought of Qin Luan again.

In the past six months, nothing has changed, except Qin Luan.

What kind of temper was it before, and what kind of temper is it today.

No.

She also changes.

At this time, Zhao Qicai belatedly remembered that the Qin Luan standing in front of him in the imperial garden was completely different from the one he saw outside Guixiang Tower that day.

Chicken and Luan Bird.

Underground and heaven.

　I'm numb.

　　The keyboard has been stuck with keys, and it is especially serious today. If you type a sentence, you can make a half sentence wrong, so write me directly, sigh...
