Chapter 144

At this time, a sharp voice suddenly said: "It is critical at this time, we should discuss it!"

Another person said: "Nonsense, you are obviously timid and want to negotiate peace!"

"You are not timid to fight, you go to lead the army."

Then there were loud voices: "Please show me the East Palace and the Central Palace!"

Siqing hesitated for a moment, then whispered to Lingzhen: "Are you talking about peace? Lingzhen, hang that ax outside."

Lingzhen made a gesture of killing a chicken and wiping her neck, Siqing looked at her coldly, but Lingzhen remained motionless.

The clamor downstairs became louder and louder, and Siqing recited the sentence silently in her heart: South Peak, North Peak, Dismal Haze Cave.Song Gaozong, nothing.Wu Shan is still in the style of wine and flags, and has twice dreamed of Jiangnan.

Concubine Ding'an couldn't help but probed: "It's not appropriate to negotiate."

A voice suddenly came from amidst the silence, "The inner palace must not be involved in politics—"

Afterwards, there was a strange laughter again, who let Zhonggong decide just now?

Siqing thought to herself that it was a big mistake for Xiao Yi to take away Li Yuanzhen, a scholar and military master.The cabinet below Fan Ziran all wished that she and Concubine Ding'an would come out on top.She already had some calculations in her heart, so she deliberately said: "You guys continue to discuss, it is also possible to discuss here. His Royal Highness has a fever, please ask the medical officer to go to the back hall to check the pulse." Withdrew from the main hall, leaving all the officials in the hall looking at each other in blank dismay.

Seeing this, Fan Ziran sighed.

Siqing watched Concubine Ding'an taking care of the East Palace busily, and keenly realized that there must be a bigger conspiracy hidden behind the loss of contact with Xiao Yi.But Xiao Yi went to Pingcheng to supervise the battle, and then became "ill". In Beijing, rumors began to spread that Xiao Yi was seriously injured on the battlefield in the northern border, or had "died of his injuries".

The situation in the imperial capital was in dire straits. Siqing originally had a candidate in mind to lead the army, and that was Sun Pingfu who had fled back to the capital, but she could not directly propose it.She looked back at the East Palace, and suddenly thought of someone, so she said to Yu Chu beside her, "I invite you to be beautiful."

Concubine Ding'an turned her head suddenly, "What did you ask her to do?"

It was rumored that He Meiren was suffering from hysteria, and Concubine Ding'an was very worried.

Siqing said: "Little lady, in this situation, the He family must not worry about the elder brother." She is the successor, not the biological mother of Donggong, so it is not easy to protect herself.

Concubine Ding'an nodded, "You are right to be worried."

Siqing's last layout did not attract Ning Shouhou, and she felt a little frustrated.Not long after He Meiren arrived, seeing Li, Siqing said: "It's just in time for you to come, I will trouble you to take care of elder brother these few days." After finishing speaking, "Little lady is tired too, we are here, little lady Go and rest first." Grand Concubine Ding'an hesitated to speak, but finally nodded.

After Concubine Angui left, Siqing stepped forward to look at the sleeping Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, and said to He Meiren, "You stay here for a few days."

He Meiren frowned and lowered her head, "Yes."

With a blank expression on her face, Siqing turned around and went out, closed the door behind her, and said to Lingzhen, "Where's Cheng Yingzhou? Tell him to come in and see me."

After a while, Cheng Yingzhou came forward and said, "Your Highness."

Siqing asked: "Is there any news from Yining Palace?"

Cheng Yingzhou shook his head, and Siqing sighed, "Is it possible for His Majesty to have an accident in Pingcheng?"

Cheng Yingzhou said: "Your Majesty left Pingcheng after a great victory in the Northern Territory. According to Xingyuan's news, His Majesty left Pingcheng unscathed."

Siqing said: "Continue to send more people to look for it! Find a way to hold the noble concubine and let her slow down to the Yining palace."

Cheng Yingzhou said: "Yes. Your Majesty should have bypassed Yining. On the way back to Beijing, there is no news for some reason. Li Yuanzhen and Li Xiang should go with Your Majesty."

Siqing sighed, "Recently, we can't take it lightly. In any case, Jingwei can't act without authorization, even if I'm in a dangerous situation."

"Your Highness?" Cheng Yingzhou was slightly startled.

Seeing that the guards were all standing very far away, Si Qing looked back at the silence of the hall, so she said, "I once suspected that Ning Shouhou had colluded with Ding Fan. When I entered Beijing in Xining 13 years ago, I was chased and killed. The people who chased me were from Lingnan. It was self-evident who had the motive to kill me at that time. So this time I set up a trick to lure out the secret sentry hidden in the capital by Ding Fan, and I also wanted to try Ning Shouhou and Is there any connection between Dingfan? As you can see, Ning Shouhou and Dingfan seem to have no connection."

Cheng Yingzhou said: "Your Highness, you mean that our people can withdraw from the vicinity of Ningshou Mansion?"

"No," Si Qing said, "I mean, it's very strange that the third brother has lost contact with Jingli at this time, so no matter whether Ning Shouhou and Dingfan are connected or not, you have to keep an eye on Ning Shouhou, and... ...Dong Gongwei."

"Your Highness!" Cheng Yingzhou turned pale with shock, "You mean that someone planned to murder His Majesty and the East Palace at the same time?"

Si Qing said: "I don't know either. But there is a Dingfan outside, and there can't be changes inside. We must plan ahead. People near Ningshou Mansion should not withdraw, and don't move without authorization. Keep an eye on Donggongwei."

Cheng Yingzhou said, "Yes."

Siqing said: "I said it before, it may be difficult for me to escape this time. You have to remember, if there is no news from the third brother, I will immediately return to Jia Guogong." After speaking, Siqing handed a piece of imperial edict to Cheng Yingzhou.Cheng Yingzhou opened it and saw that it was an edict drawn up by Siqing in the name of Zhonggong and Yininggong to recall Jia Guogong Shen Jiangdong.When Cheng Yingzhou raised his head again, Siqing had already gone far away.

He Meiren stayed in the East Palace that night, while Siqing still returned to Xiyuan.Siqing's attitude towards the East Palace has always been the focus of the palace, and Siqing is so indifferent that some gossip spreads.

Siqing didn't care either, and climbed to the high place of Xiyuan Qiongyu at night, seeing the moon shining like water, the outline of the entire imperial capital was obscured in the darkness.In the spring when she first entered the palace, she followed Xiao Yi to the top of Qiongyu quietly for the first time, feeling a sense of novelty.At that time, the flowers in Xiyuan were in full bloom, and there were clusters of pink halos of different shades under the lamp.It was the first time she smelled the faint fragrance of Jiang Zhenxiang from Xiao Yi's body, and it was the first time he held her hand.His hands were dry and warm, finally giving her a sense of stability.From the moment she returned to the imperial capital, she had never felt so at ease.

She was pushed step by step, not knowing what she was going to do, not knowing what was going to happen.Xiao Yi said that he would entrust Jingfang to her, and she took it over.Xiao Yi said that he left Dijing and let her see who was behind the scenes stirring up the situation.Every day after Xiao Yi left the capital, she was looking forward to his return to the imperial capital. Not only did she fail to find anyone who was stirring up the situation behind the scenes, but she also found that the situation in the imperial capital was getting darker and unclear.

She wrote to Xiao Yi, saying that she had nothing to do, but she didn't hear back from Xiao Yi.

Siqing came down from Qiongyu, walked across the long bridge to the shore of Taiye Pond, Yunchu greeted her with a lantern and said, "It can be regarded as finding a girl!"

Siqing asked: "Is there any news from Yining Palace?"
