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

Chapter 456
Qin Wan looked at the pitiful copper coins in his purse, and sighed deeply.She was willing to buy a biscuit with this little money.A penny stumps a hero, and it is pitiful to have no money.

Qin Wan pursed her lips and walked to the biscuit stand with a sad face: "Boss, how much is a biscuit?"

"Two pennies." The boss replied, "How much does the girl want?"

Qin Wan complained in her heart that the biscuits in Zoucheng were too expensive, but because she was hungry, she had to hand over two Wen to the boss: "I want one."

"How can you only eat this?" Suddenly a familiar voice appeared behind Qin Wan.

Qin Wan suddenly turned around to look at the person who came, and smiled instantly, and was about to jump up in surprise and joy: "Liexiu! How could it be you?!"

I saw Lie Xian wearing men's clothes, with calm eyes and a smile: "Go, my subordinate will take you to eat delicious food."

Qin Wan immediately gave up the idea of ​​eating sesame seed cakes, took Lie Xian's arms, and walked towards the market cheeringly.

The two came to a noodle shop, and Lie Xie looked at Qin Wan with distress and helplessness as he wolfed down a whole bowl of noodles with sesame seed cakes.

"You really saved my life, I'm going to starve to death." Qin Wan finally ate and drank enough, freed himself to talk, and asked with a smile, "By the way, why did you come to me? "

"The subordinates have been looking for you for nearly 16 years. Lie Xie said.

Qin Wan's smile froze at the corner of his mouth: "I'm sorry, thank you for your hard work."

Lie Xie shook his head: "It's your subordinate's dereliction of duty that made you suffer on the island for many years."

"Not at all," Qin Wan waved his hand, "Although life on the island is hard, it's flat and simple, which made me think about a lot of things over the years and reflect on it for a long time. I was too impulsive before, I don’t care about the consequences in everything I do, and looking back now, I feel that too many things are unnecessary and not worth it.”

Lie Xie: "Your Majesty has heard from your Majesty that you seem unwilling to return to the palace?"

Qin Wan nodded: "I just want to be a salted fish like this and live my life lazily."

Lie Xie silently nodded, agreeing with Qin Wan's thoughts.

Qin Wan: "Are you just here to see me?"

Lie Xian: "Your Majesty ordered his subordinates to protect you."

Qin Wan wondered: "Didn't she still want someone to send me out of the country before? Why did she let you come again?"

Lie Xie: "King Zhao killed all the people His Majesty sent to Zoucheng, and he is still in Zoucheng."

"So Miaomiao was afraid that she would send other people to come and kill Xizhao one by one. If only you came, he would not dare to do anything to you, and there is no need to do it to you." Qin Wan said.

Lie Xie: "Yes. His Majesty cannot send you out of the country with King Zhao's obstruction. But His Majesty Zhao Wang cannot control your actions when he sends his subordinates down."

Qin Wan sighed deeply: "There is indeed a problem between Miaomiao and Xizhao."

Lie Xie: "Your Majesty and King Zhao's forces in the court have been clearly opposed. They are divided into courts, and those who defend and support His Majesty are basically old ministers. In the past ten years, King Zhao has cultivated many people who are loyal to him and owns more than half of the North. Rongjun. Prime Minister Bai and General Yuan Ying are in the court, and the court seems to be calm on the surface, but some new ministers have begun to carry out reforms, and they have received great support from King Zhao."

"Reform..." Qin Wan bit her lip, "It's not a bad thing."

"However, His Majesty still hopes to maintain the tradition, thinking that the Nine Provinces have just recovered, and the current reform may affect the people who have just recuperated." Lie Xian said.

Qin Wan was silent for a while, and then smiled slightly: "Oh, this kind of disagreement would never happen to me and Ning Yi. At that time, Ning Yi had some political ideas and needed my help. Buddha. Although the two of us have conflicts every day, I have never disagreed with him in terms of political views."

Lie Xie nodded: "Your trust in His Majesty Ningdi has always been rock solid."

"Then what do you think about the relationship between Miaomiao and Xizhao?" Qin Wan asked.

Lie Cuisine: "Like a cicada's wings."

Qin Wan's eyes darkened: "With one heart and strength, we can withstand strong winds and gallop across the world. If we don't, we will be fragile and will be broken by a blow."

Lie Cuisine: "Yes."

Qin Wan frowned tightly: "I was too optimistic at the time. By the way, how is Qingchi? Is the child okay?"

"His Highness Qingchi has been living in the army with General Yuan Ying since he was 12 years old. He has a free and easy personality. He has quelled dozens of rebellions on the border, and has just wiped out the southern bandits. Some people in the court think that His Highness Qingchi should be Inheriting the throne, fortunately, His Highness spends only a few days in Hancheng in a year, and these people will not be able to make a fortune."

"That's good," Qin Wan exhaled, and said reassuringly, "Qingchi is a sensible child, so you can rest assured."

Thinking of Qingchi, Qin Wan suddenly thought of Cangming Mountain, the large snow field, and the emerald-like pool of water in the snow.

Qin Wan shook his head, drove away the vast expanse of snow in his mind, changed the subject and said, "By the way, how is Liuying?"

Lie Xian said: "About five years ago, Liuying and Master Xiaobai moved to Baishan Gate with their children."

"Very good." Qin Wan said.

In this way, Qin Wan and Lie Xie chatted and asked and answered until the noodle shop closed before leaving.

Walking on the street, Lie Xie said to Qin Wan: "Your Majesty, from tomorrow onwards, my subordinates will enter Yunxia Academy as martial arts instructors."

"Yes, I got it." Qin Wan nodded, "By the way, since you're here, help me check how many people from Xizhao are in the academy, I'm pretty sure."

"Yes, ma'am." Lie Xie took the order.

The two were walking and talking, when suddenly Lie Xie stopped in her tracks.

Seeing Lie Xian stop, Qin Wan raised her head and followed her gaze, and saw Xun Che standing in front of her with frowned eyebrows.

"Ah! I chatted with you for too long, I forgot about him!" Qin Wan hurriedly "introduced" to the dazed Lie Xian, "Lie Xian, he is..."

Before Qin Wan finished speaking, Xun Che asked Xiang Liexiu sharply: "Who are you?!"

Lie Xie looked at Xun Che in amazement, and was about to kneel down to the ground reflexively, but Qin Wan directly stopped him, "Lie Xie! Don't!"

Seeing the change in Qin Wan's eyes, Lie Xie immediately understood and looked around carefully.She was also horrified in her heart, she never thought that His Majesty Emperor Ning would be here.From the look in the eyes of His Majesty Emperor Ning looking at her, Lie Xie immediately guessed that he had lost all his memories, and at the same time, she immediately understood why Qin Wan insisted on not returning to the Beirong Palace.

Lie Xian controlled her shock, and bowed to Xun Che.

Qin Wan glanced at the dark surroundings from the corner of his eye, and briefly introduced: "Master Xun Che, this is Lie Xian, Chief Director of the Dark and You Division of the Beirong Palace."

Then she looked at Lie Xie: "Lie Xie, this is my colleague in the academy, Xun Che, the second son of Xun Zheng, the official servant."

Xun Che was also horrified when he heard about Lie Xian's position.The Anyou Division of Beirong Palace, the highest secret unit of the royal family, and the chief director is a higher and more secretive manager than the commander, and controls it.

Seeing Qin Wan's cautious eyes, Lie Xie asked in a low voice, "Will Madam shut up those who are watching in the dark?"

Qin Wan's expression froze: "Are they all from Xizhao?"

Lie Cuisine: "Yes."

Qin Wan shook his head, and ordered simply: "It's okay, let them live first. But for the time being, no one should know about Young Master Xun, and someone should be sent to closely monitor Xizhao. Let him meet the two sons of the Xun family!"

Lie Xi was puzzled: "Two?"

Qin Wan nodded: "Twins."

Lie Xie was surprised again, but immediately took orders: "This subordinate understands, Madam, don't worry."
