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

Chapter 482
Lie Xie cupped his hands at the side and said: "Mrs. Cui Liu's father is the imperial servant Liu Quan."

"Taifu Cheng? She is indeed the daughter of a high-ranking official. Cui Changshi, your father is an official at least, and he was in the court more than ten years ago. I think you should know more or less that I have never been used to the stinking problems of aristocratic families. "Qin Wan turned to Ning Xizhao and ordered, "Xizhao, the Cui Liu family intends to assassinate, and the Cui and Liu families deliberately conspire against each other. If Nian sees that these two families should be killed, they will be killed. And the families behind Cui Yao The women will not be spared, and all of the family will be imprisoned for trial, whether they are Cui Liu's party!"

Mrs. Cui Liu Shi heard her father's name, and her whole body fell into an ice valley. She never thought that what she did today would affect her natal family.

Ning Xizhao: "Yes, I understand."

Hearing this, not only the three members of the Cui family, but the girls and servants also kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Forgive me? Forgive my sin?" Qin Wan stood up straight, let go of her aura, and said intimidatingly, "There is no such word as forgiveness in my world! I will never let anyone who has sinned against me be forgiven." However, he will definitely pay in blood!"

After speaking, Qin Wan silently clenched his fists in his sleeves.

……

Back in the tent, the female doctor Baili made sure that Qin Wan was not injured, and prescribed some soothing soup before leaving.

Carp went out to decoct the medicine, while Qin Wan sat alone in the tent.

At this time, there was the sound of the door curtain, Qin Wan thought it was a carp, turned to look, but found that it was Ning Xizhao.

There was a little anger on Qin Wan's face: "It's inappropriate for you to come here at this time."

Ning Xizhao walked up to Qin Wan, and said softly and concernedly, "I'm worried about you, so come and see."

Qin Wan frowned slightly: "I'm fine, the mother and daughter can't do anything to me, I just..."

Before she finished speaking, Ning Xizhao suddenly pulled her into his arms and hugged her in his arms: "No matter where you go from now on, even if you don't bring delicious food, you should at least bring a few maids with you."

Qin Wan froze in Ning Xizhao's arms. She wanted to break free, but she controlled herself and let him hug her wantonly.

"Don't worry, I will not let the Cui and Liu families go." Ning Xizhao said solemnly, "If they dare to hurt you, I will make them pay the price."

"Well, good." Qin Wan said, "Rong Kingdom has been established for more than a hundred years, and there are many veterans and old ministries who are hard to keep. I just want to let them know that I have returned to the palace, so they should be afraid."

The Cui family and the Liu family are both former ministers of the Rong Kingdom, and they are also the biggest obstacles to the reform.Of course Ning Xizhao knew what Qin Wan meant. It wasn't that she couldn't bear Cui Liu's and Cui Yao's domineering behavior, but she wanted to make an example of them, and told all the big families who tried to oppose the reform to tighten their tails and don't try to fight against the royal family's decision .

Ning Xizhao looked down at Qin Wan in his arms, his eyes were filled with love and affection, this hug was also a step he mustered up his courage to take.He thought that Qin Wan would push him away angrily, but he didn't expect that although her whole body was tense, she did not resist decisively.

But Ning Xizhao also knew that this was just her small reward for him to do things according to her wishes during this time.

If he wanted more, he had to fulfill every request Qin Wan made. Even if these requests led him to a dead end, he would be willing to do so.

Qin Wan slowly let go of Ning Xizhao's arms, took a step back, went to the table and poured him a cup of tea: "I know you hit the white fox today."

"I know that's your wish, and whatever you say will be fulfilled for you." Ning Xizhao took the tea in Qin Wan's hand and drank it until there was no bitter taste in his mouth. A cup of tea was like honey.

Qin Wan felt that the atmosphere was not right, and immediately changed the subject: "By the way, where is Qingchi?"

"Qingchi sent Lu Shangshu's daughter back to the tent." Ning Xizhao replied.

Qin Wan's eyes lit up: "A smart girl kills two birds with one stone. Although she was slapped, she became the biggest winner tonight."

Ning Xizhao asked Qin Wan: "Speaking of killing two birds with one stone, there is still one more day to hunt tomorrow, what else do you want?"

"Don't kill the deer, everything else is fine." Qin Wan replied.

Ning Xizhao nodded: "I see."

"Let's go, you shouldn't stay here for too long." Qin Wan raised his hand to take back the teacup from Ning Xizhao, walked to the table, and put it on the table.

At this time, Ning Xizhao still couldn't hold back the love in his heart, hugged Qin Wan tightly from behind, and put his chin on her shoulder: "Wanwan, I really want to take you out of here quickly."

Qin Wan didn't give in this time, but ran away from Ning Xizhao's arms.

But Ning Xizhao approached her even closer, forcing her whole body to the felt wall of the tent.

Only then did Qin Wan smell the faint smell of alcohol on him.

"Did you drink at the banquet?" Qin Wan asked.

Ning Xizhao: "No, I drank it before coming here. How dare I look at you like this if I don't drink a glass of wine."

Qin Wan frowned: "Ning Xizhao, Qingchi is still in the camp, surrounded by courtiers and generals."

Ning Xizhao shook his head: "I won't do anything to you now, I just miss you, I'm just afraid that you will forget our agreement again."

Qin Wan: "..."

Ning Xizhao: "When I complete the reform and return everything to Your Majesty, I will take you away, marry you, and accompany you to see the Buddha in the West."

Qin Wan bit her lip and lowered her eyelashes: "I remember, but I haven't forgotten."

When Ning Xizhao heard what Qin Wan said, he took a step back and walked out of Qin Wan's tent with a smile in his eyes.

Seeing Ning Xizhao leave, Qin Wan breathed a sigh of relief, her gaze condensed.

She has always hated hypocrisy and submissiveness.

But now it can only be so.

At this moment, Li Yu came back with the prepared Anshen Soup, but saw Qin Wan sitting on the couch with his knees hugged.

Li Yu brought the soup to Qin Wan: "Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"

"Carp, I miss Ning Yi." Qin Wan looked up at Carp, took the soothing soup in her hand, and drank it down.

Li Yu heard what happened just now, and comforted him: "Your Majesty, although the late Emperor is not here, each of us will do our best to protect you."

Qin Wan pursed her lips, buried her head in her arms on her knees, and said nothing.

After the end of the autumn hunt, the voices of opposition to the reform in the court of Rong Kingdom were indeed much smaller, and the progress was obviously accelerated.

As time passed, it entered winter.

Lu Fangzhong was entrusted with an important task by Ning Xizhao to start various matters of the reform.

Qin Wan ordered Liexiu to let the people of Anyou Division secretly visit all the veterans who participated in the battle against the cold city 15 years ago, hoping to get useful clues from them.

However, Qin Wan got the most answer that the battle situation was urgent at that time, and everyone was nervously retreating to the gate of the cold city, and no one saw where the arrow came from.

At this time, news came from the south that Hou Lu, the Nanliang rebel general stationed in Leizhou, rebelled.

When Nanliang was defeated, Hou Lu saw the wind and was willing to defect to Rong Kingdom with thirteen cities. Ning also accepted his surrender because he was useful, and let him station in Leizhou, and named Leizhou General.

At that time, the situation in Nanliang was over, and Hou Lu was just one of countless Nanliang rebels, and did not attract any attention from the court of Rong Guo.

But he suddenly rebelled, which surprised Rong Guochaotang.

Qingchi came to Chonghua Tower to find Qin Wan, intending to personally send troops to the South China Sea to suppress the rebels.

Qin Wan stood with his arms folded in front of the huge map of Kyushu in the Chonghua Tower and carefully looked at Leizhou in the South China Sea. He shook his head and said, "Now the reform is still going on, you can't go anywhere. Find out the reason behind Hou Lu's rebellion in Liejiao." Before, you can only stay in the cold city."

"The queen mother is worried that the cold city will be chaotic?"

"After all, the reform will harm the interests of some people, and they will definitely do everything possible to prevent the success of the reform. At this time, there is no war that can divert the court's attention more."

Qingchi knew that what Qin Wan said was reasonable, so he didn't refute it, but he still worried: "However, Hou Lu has been supporting troops in Leizhou for many years, and the number of rebels is far higher than that of other local military camps. It may not be able to restrain Hou Lu."

At this time, Lie Xie came to Chonghua Pagoda: "Your Majesty, Your Highness Qingchi, Your Majesty has accepted His Highness Zhao Wang's suggestion to let Danzhou send troops across the sea to besiege Leizhou Houlu's [-] rebels with the three armies of Wuzhou, Liuzhou, and Qinzhou .”

Qingchi frowned: "It's said to be three routes, but in fact the three prefectures of Wu, Liu, and Qin prefectures have no more than 2 troops, and even if the Danzhou army is added, there are no more than [-] troops, so there is no way to fight Hou Lu. "

"Danzhou Army..." Qin Wan felt her heart throbbing when she heard Qing Chi say that.
