The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 168 Disaster on Xiao Qiang
The Chonghua Pagoda is located in the middle of the mountain behind the Beirong Palace. It has seven floors in total and contains [-] volumes of books, as well as some precious calligraphy, painting and stele rubbings.

At this time, the rainstorm had subsided, and Ning Yi held an umbrella and stood under the tower with Qin Wan. He looked up at the top of the tower, seeing how solemn it was with its golden roof and black tiles, he couldn't help but frowned.

The internal officer in charge of guarding the Chonghua Pagoda opened the pagoda door and said to Qin Wan, "Little Madam Qin, please enter the pagoda."

Qin Wan knew that once she entered that door, she probably wouldn't be able to get out for a while, so she smiled at the inner officer, "I still want to have a few words with His Highness King Ning, is that okay?"

The internal officer looked at Ning Yi, and walked away a little to save face.

Qin Wan stretched out his hand, wrapped his arms around Ning Yi's waist, and leaned his head on his chest: "Ning Yi, I always feel that this matter is not that simple, whether Situ Xinghe, Chang Guogong, or those officials, I think their behavior just now was too aggressive. Even though Chang Guogong and I have some problems because of Chang Lianjun, but I have never provoked those officials, it is too strange that they would join forces to kill me."

"They just want to see me turn back." Ning Yi stood on her head with her eyebrows on her head, and said in a deep voice.

"Seeing you rebelling?" Qin Wan was puzzled, "Why? What good will it do them if you rebel?"

Ning Yi raised his hand to caress Qin Wan's cheek: "It's just that someone has taken a fancy to the power in my hands, but I didn't expect them to take advantage of you."

Qin Wan said: "As long as these people think you value me, they will do so sooner or later. If you really ignore me, they will actually have nothing to do with you."

Hearing what Qin Wan said, Ning Yi immediately turned cold: "I won't."

Qin Wan smiled: "I see."

She let go of Ning Yi and waved at him: "I'll wait for you to save me."

Ning Yi stared into her eyes and promised her: "Okay."

Qin Wan walked into Chonghua Pagoda, looked back at Ning Yi, until the gate was closed by the internal officials and locked with heavy chains.

……

That night, Situ Xinghe returned to Situ Mansion.

Ning Xi sat in the living room and waited for him with a cold face.

"It's so late, why isn't Xiao Xi sleeping?" Situ Xinghe smiled and sat beside her.

Ning Xi: "You lied to me, Situ Xinghe!"

Situ Xinghe raised his hand to hold Ning Xi's hand: "I told Ning Yi and Qin Wan to separate, I did it, I didn't lie to you."

Ning Xi withdrew her hand: "But you didn't say it was such a separation. I trust you so much, but you would use such a vicious method."

Situ Xinghe sneered and shook his head: "I didn't do anything, I just revealed Qin Wan's identity to Duke Chang."

Ning Xihen said: "Your living soul is as innocent as you, Situ Xinghe, why on earth did you do this?"

Situ Xinghe: "I just want to help Ning Yi get rid of her weakness, so that our regent of Beirong can become stronger."

Ning Xi said: "You don't want to lie to me again. You only gave Ning Yi two choices, one is to raise troops to rescue Qin Wan, and the other is to hand over military power and take Qin Wan to leave Beirong forever. Either way, he will lose his power and status forever, is that what you want?"

Situ Xinghe shook his head: "Xiaoxi, you misunderstood me, I didn't think so."

Ning Xi stared at Situ Xinghe's living soul, which was sincere and calm, and did not feel guilty or concealed because of being told what he thought in the center.

Ning Xi was puzzled: "Situ Xinghe, I found that I don't understand you at all. What do you want?"

Situ Xinghe held Ning Xi's hand again and said, "Xiao Xi, don't be angry, you are pregnant now, and being angry is not good for the child. Don't worry, I will not do anything bad for you or Your Majesty. So you have to trust me."

Ning Xi sighed helplessly, but was embraced by Situ Xinghe: "Xiao Xi just needs to rest at home obediently, I swear that I will protect you and Your Majesty, and will not let you suffer any harm, okay?"

Ning Xi: "..."

……

At this time, at the Duke's mansion outside the palace, Duke Chang looked angry, looked at the eunuch Ling in front of him, and reprimanded: "What's the matter with today's inscription? Didn't you ask you to write 'King Ning must rebel'?" , How did it become a 'Nannvyecuo'?! The murdered old man's plan to get rid of King Ning has become so complicated, please explain to me, what is going on?!"

The eunuch replied tremblingly: "It is true that when the villain was making the tortoise shell, he had already carved cracks on the four characters 'Ning Wang Bi Fan'. It stands to reason that as long as it is baked by fire, it will definitely break. Open. I don’t know why this happened.”

Chang Guogong gritted his teeth: "Forget it, fortunately you were witty and said that Nan Nu is Ning Yi's favorite concubine, at least the old man's plan can continue. You are going to bite Qin Wan to death for endangering the country, and then the old man Then I will help you to send her to the soul-destroying stage. If Ning Yi raises troops to rescue her, the old man will attack him for the crime of treason. If Ning Yi watches Qin Wan die, then I will be avenging Lianjun Arrow of Vengeance."

Tai Bu Ling worried: "But my lord, Ning Yi has 35 Bei Rong troops, while you only have 20. If he really raises troops, will we be able to win?"

Chang Guogong smiled proudly: "The army of the lonely old man will naturally compete with Ning Yi's 35 Beirong army, but don't forget, the real garrison in this cold city is not his Ning Yi's people."

Tai Buling asked tentatively: "Are you talking about Master Situ Xinghe, the doctor in charge of the 20 forbidden army?"

Chang Guogong nodded.

Tai Bu Ling was puzzled and said: "But I heard that Sir Situ and Ning Xia played together since they were young. You see, in the hall today, Sir Situ still spoke for His Highness King Ning. He really Will you help us deal with King Ning?"

Chang Guogong sneered: "I am afraid that the person who wants King Ning to die the most in this world is Situ Xinghe."

"Ah? How come?" Tai Bu Ling's eyes widened in disbelief.

Chang Guogong: "Ning Yi and Situ Xinghe grew up together, they were equal when they were young, but look at the past few years, Ning Yi took down Nanliang Xidi, took over Bashu Liang Kingdom, and other large and small The border states and counties are all under his control. Not only that, he also brought back that pill from Sidi to His Majesty, which saved His Majesty. Now His Majesty has handed over all the government affairs to Ning Yi, hum, say he The master of merit is a bit small. You think that Situ Xinghe holds so many forbidden soldiers every day, but what he does is to protect the guards of the cold city. He is an extraordinary person like him. How can he look down on Ning Yi for a day? Overshadow him for a day?"

Tai Buling suddenly realized: "I understand. But besides His Royal Highness King Ning, then Sir Situ won't be afraid of you?"

Chang Guogong stretched out his hand and patted Tai Bu Ling's shoulder: "Don't worry, I've already made up my mind. When the time comes to get rid of Ning Yi, I will betroth Lian Jun to Situ Xinghe. By then, we will be a family. He will lead his family." Bing, I earn my money, the well water does not interfere with the river water, how harmonious."

Tai Bu Ling asked again: "Where is Your Majesty..."

Chang Guogong frowned: "Why do you talk so much today? What does your Majesty's hairy kid know? He just needs to be raised in the palace obediently, don't worry about him."
