Chapter 180
Xiao Yi said: "What exactly is Tang Peng thinking?"

Siqing said: "Loyalty and filial piety can't be both? It doesn't seem appropriate to say that. According to the informant, Tang Peng's mother is in the hands of Han Shouchen, the second son of Dingfan, so Tang Peng works for Han Shouchen."

Xiao Yi asked, "How did your strategy work?"

"It didn't work at all," Siqing said. "At that time, the only clans that came were Kang Wang, Kang Wang's son, Lao Shi, and Duan Wangfei. In addition to the thousands of private soldiers who came to Beijing, the other party also colluded with internal officials, with He'an as the leader." , set up an explosion point in the East Palace. Unfortunately, the explosion point was not fully ignited, and the explosion failed. In the chaos, Kang Wang had an accident first, and his son Xiao Shao was also injured. We kept going back, retreated to the apse, and ended up in the apse A fire broke out, so I had to retreat back to Yining Palace. Later, He An took Huipin and He Meiren hostage. I really admire it. Before the incident, I let Fang Huibin go. After the kidnapping, the Jinwu Guards fell, and there was a problem with the sluice gate at the southeast corner gate. More than 20 Dingfan dead soldiers got in and held them all the way to let me open the Chengtian Gate. Later, Xiao Shao, the eldest son of Kang Wang’s family and Xiao Xu’s younger brother, blew himself up as his brother. It may be a traitor in Dingfan, Yuan Lingbo went to Kang Wang's mansion to solve this problem. Lingzhen shot He'an with a crossbow, Fan Ziran dispatched in the middle, the forbidden army in ambush and the guard of the government outside, Yulin Wei, cooperated inside and outside, and killed the rebels. "

"Since the rebels have been eliminated and Xiao Xu has been exposed, why are you still in such a hurry to leave Beijing?"

"Because I'm angry. Xiao Xu, the eldest son of King Kang, refused to admit it. I didn't plan to intervene anymore. I wanted to wait until you came back to talk about it. At this time, there were rumors that I colluded with Sun Pingfu to rebel or something, and that I gave you to..., or I said I poisoned the noble concubine to death, but I didn't bother. Just when I was going to be quiet and thought the matter was over, Zheng Yiqin was the first one who jumped out and pointed at me and scolded me."

"Why are you going to Zheng's house?" Xiao Yi asked.

"That day, Zheng Yiqin's mansion said that his wife was seriously ill, and the little lady and Mrs. Zheng were well, so they said they would go and see. But that day, the little lady was not feeling well, so I went by myself," Siqing said, "After I went, Mrs. Zheng had passed away. Yes. Zheng Yiqin pointed at my nose and scolded me, and told me to recall Sun Pingfu. I ignored it, and the assassin he hired appeared to kill me! It turned out that the 'assassin' he hired turned out to be Uncle Wu! I saw that uncle was scared When I jumped, my uncle was even more shocked when he saw me. Zheng Yiqin paid his uncle a lot of money to kill him for him, but he was almost killed by his uncle. I was so happy when I received your reply that day, but it happened again. , In a fit of anger, I felt that I was going to leave the imperial capital to take a rest. Who knew that I won the lottery on the way. It is said that Xining was assassinated once in 13 years, Xining was assassinated twice in 17 years, and Zheng Yiqin wanted to kill me-I was safe and sound all four times, I thought I am invulnerable to a hundred poisons, I am invulnerable to swords and guns, I never thought that I would hit the south wall."

Xiao Yi listened silently, and finally said: "You are still too careless!"

Siqing said: "I'm done talking. As for whether Tang Peng is a man or a ghost, and how Xiao Xu in Prince Kang's mansion pretends to be a ghost, you can go back and interrogate yourself slowly. It's up to you to say, what happened to the Yining palace? Where's the old nine? Duan Where is the king?"

"Prince Duan is indeed ill, and Lao Jiu accompanied him from Xijing," Xiao Yi said, "Li Yuanzhen followed Dajia and came back soon. Li Yuanzhen, Li Yuanzhen and I encountered a little trouble on the way to Chengfu."

"A little trouble?"

"Okay," Xiao Yi said, "I'm in big trouble." After finishing speaking, Xiao Yi hesitated, "There should be a connection between the affairs of the capital city and the Yining Palace. I'll check it out and tell you. I'm curious, are you Since when did you suspect that Tang Peng is Dingfan's eyeliner?"

"Sister Xuanbin's premonition has always been accurate. It is true that Tang Peng and Ning Shouhou have a grudge, but there were so many people at the funeral of Princess Duan and the Second Concubine. Why was it that only Tang Peng "saw Chen Nanfei". I will take him to see Han Shoushen tested him, but he didn't make a move. Obviously, he is not Han Shoushen's person, but Han Shouchen's. As for why he blew himself up..."

Xiao Yi listened, "You doubt him, and you still take him to see Han Shoushen?"

"At that time, I told people around me that as long as he ran, I would kill him."

"what?!"

"Why are you looking at me like that? By the way, you're back, where is Sister Zhou?"

"She also set off from Yining Palace."

"You doubt her that much? Do you also doubt me behind your back?"

"If she had no problem, the imperial grandmother would not have ordered me not to touch her in that tone before she passed away. I doubted her, and even suspected that the Yasukuni case had something to do with her. But the past is over, and her whole life If this is the case, I don't want to pursue it. Besides, don't you doubt her? If you don't doubt, why did you send her away from Beijing to Yining Palace as soon as you found something wrong?"

Knowing that she was wrong, Si Qing immediately interrupted, "In short - Ning Shouhou has nothing to do with Dingfan, Ning Shouhou is just a smoke bomb for Prince Kang's Mansion."

Xiao Yi said: "Ningshouhou doesn't matter, but He Shouzhi doesn't have to be." He Shizhi, the eldest wife of the He family, Ningshouhou and his wife, the former empress and concubine He Ning, and He Shouzhi of the three parties seem to be of one mind, but in fact each has their own ghosts.

Siqing let out a sigh, "Looks like the family has too many people, it's really troublesome." After speaking, she felt sick and started to vomit.

Xiao Yi said: "You took the medicine without taking anything, so you feel nauseous."

Siqing also felt empty in her stomach, so she said, "I want to drink chicken soup."

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "I'll go tell Ling Zhen."

Siqing grabbed Xiao Yi's sleeve with her right hand, "I want to drink the chicken soup you made." Her eyes flashed like a cat's, "You made the chicken soup yourself."

Xiao Yi said: "Your Highness, aren't you embarrassing yourself?"

Siqing smiled, "Governing a big country is like cooking small fish. You know how to govern a big country, but you can't cook small fish? Just now you were so pitiful and said sorry to me. It's faster to turn your face than to turn a book."

Xiao Yi had nothing to do with her, after half an hour, Xiao Yi really came in with the crock pot and opened it, although it smelled a bit fishy, ​​but there were goji berries and yams in it, which looked pretty good.

Xiao Yi seemed to offer a treasure, "Try it?"

So Siqing gave him a taste of the face, "It's not bad."

Xiao Yi asked: "Shouldn't it be fishy? There are so many seasonings added."

"so many……?"

Siqing fished it out and took out a pipa leg, Xiao Yi said, "Try it."

Siqing had no choice but to take out the leg of the pipa and took a bite.

Xiao Yi asked full of anticipation: "How is it?"

"..."

"It seems that I'm not familiar..."

Xiao Yi felt that he was "raw" once and "familiar" twice, and he didn't know what to do the next day.

Siqing was leaning against the window, but saw a chicken rushing into Siqing's room like a sword from a string, and plunged into Siqing's skirt again, only its tail was exposed.

Siqing was wondering, when she raised her head, Xiao Yi rushed in, brandishing a knife.

"what are you doing?"

"Catch the chicken, can't you see?"

Siqing: "..."

Fu Linchuan came in upon hearing the sound, and saw Xiao Yi stretch out his hand, the chicken continued to flee, but was bitten by Siqing's cat.

Xiao Yi went to grab the chicken wings, but the cat didn't let go.Xiao Yi picked up the cat by the back of his neck, but the cat still didn't let go.Siqing smiled and said, "I picked this cat from the mountain road. Not only can it catch mice, but it also has the function of catching chickens. Third brother, give him a raise."

Fu Linchuan went out with a smile, Lingzhen said: "Girl, stop joking, it eats better than humans."

Fat Cat protested and barked, and Xiao Yi let go, pulling the chicken out.

Although Tantai occupies a small area, there are two kitchens, one inside and one outside.There was no one in the boy's room, so Xiao Yi naturally didn't know how to butcher chickens, so Ling Zhen had to follow along to help.

Xiao Yi and Ling Zhen walked through the courtyard, and Fu Linchuan was turning over medicinal herbs in the inner courtyard.Xiao Yi and Ling Zhen went into the boy's room next door, Ling Zhen tied up her apron and rolled up her sleeves to butcher the chicken, added firewood and set fire to boiling water, and Xiao Yi invited her out.

Lingzhen was helping Fu Linchuan to look through the medicinal materials, when there was a sudden bang, flames burst out from the kitchen window, Xiao Yi also rushed out, Lingzhen murmured: "Are you frying chicken or frying the kitchen..."

Tantai was in danger now, and the sound shocked all the guards hiding outside and rushed up.Fu Linchuan was taken aback, "Why are there so many people hiding around?!"

During the day and night, Siqing's wound was in severe pain again, and she couldn't eat anything, only drank some rice soup.The next day Xiao Yi brought porridge, and Siqing groaned angrily, "You want to starve me to death? I don't want white porridge, I want meat! Meat!"

Her wound was uncomfortable and her heart was depressed, and she wanted to eat spicy food for a while, and river fresh food for a while, Xiao Yi said helplessly: "After eating and coughing, the wound hurts."

Siqing said: "I don't care, I want to eat meat dishes."

At this moment, Fu Linchuan came in with a bowl of Chozi pork porridge, and gave Siqing a bowl, and Siqing stopped talking just now.Xiao Yi helplessly shook his head at Fu Linchuan, and Fu Linchuan walked out with a smile.

Xiao Yi sniffed it, "It smells so good, I'll eat a bowl too."

Siqing said: "You're already back, what do you want from that old man? It's almost done, hurry back to the palace."

Xiao Yi said: "You have to do enough to save face, and besides, the guard of honor has to return to Beijing."

"Waste," Siqing said, "Why don't you eat minced meat?" After speaking, she knocked on the bowl in her hand.

Xiao Yi glanced at the meat porridge, and protested: "Can't you let me finish drinking it?"

Siqing said: "Go back and have a look, don't let the little lady worry."

Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment, "Okay. You—"

"I can't die," Siqing said, "You're sticky again right now."

At this time Fu Linchuan just walked in, Xiao Yi immediately complained, "Now we are talking about life and death again."

Siqing was dissatisfied and said, "So you still sue!"

She is like the civet cat she raised, if she usually ignores it, it will turn to Xiao Yi to act like a baby.

Xiao Yi returned to the city for two days, and Siqing's spirit improved a lot.Fu Linchuan was a restless person, so he wanted to wander around Nanshan.However, as the weak point of Nanshan's defense line on the outskirts of Beijing, there were mostly soldiers stationed there.After Siqing was injured, the Jinwu Guards and Fujun Guards even mobilized to block the entire mountain.Lingzhen was afraid that Fu Linchuan would bump into the forbidden army when he went out, so she couldn't explain clearly, so she said a few tactful words, so Fu Linchuan didn't come out of Tantai, boiled medicine for Siqing, and hid in the westernmost pavilion of Tantai to read some miscellaneous books collected by Siqing .

Siqing drank the medicine and insisted on sitting outside, so she put on her clothes and sat under the window outside to bask in the sun.It is the time when autumn is high and crisp, and I feel a lot of ironing in the sun.Siqing Lingzhen asked: "Who is on the mountain in the forbidden army?"

Ling Zhen said: "It's General Cheng."

Siqing said: "He didn't go back to the city? It's just right, you call him, and I'll ask him a few words."

Ling Zhen hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

After a while, Cheng Yingzhou came to bow down to Siqing.Si Qing said "you don't need to be too polite", but Cheng Yingzhou didn't move.At this time, Siqing suddenly wondered: "Old Cheng, what's wrong with your neck?"

Lingzhen's eyes wandered, Cheng Yingzhou bowed again, Siqing reacted and said: "Why do you still want to end yourself?"

Before Cheng Yingzhou could speak, Siqing said angrily, "I seem to be such a mean person? Did I tell you to die? Didn't I say that it has nothing to do with you that I hastily changed the itinerary—" After speaking, she coughed loudly.Lingzhen was startled, and even supported Siqing back to the inner room.

This afternoon Xiao Yi came from the city, and he smiled when he came in: "How did Lao Cheng offend you? He will kneel outside sooner or later."

When Siqing didn't listen, she became even angrier when she heard it, "Who made him kneel outside?" After speaking, she coughed loudly again.

Ling Zhen and Xiao Yi hurried forward to comfort Si Qing, Xiao Yi said: "What's going on, are you still coughing?"

Siqing waved her hand, "I have a fever, I'm fine." She keenly captured Xiao Yi's emotions, "You go back to the palace to see, how is it?"

Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment, and said to Ling Zhen: "You ask Lao Cheng to come in and talk."

Siqing leaned on the bench facing east, Xiao Yi sat beside Siqing, Cheng Yingzhou walked in to meet again, Siqing snorted, Xiao Yi said: "Get up and talk." He looked around and asked: "Why don't you see Mr. Fu?" ?”

Ling Zhen smiled and said, "I'm reading the girl's book upstairs on the west side."

Xiao Yi nodded, seeming to see something, so he said, "Old Cheng, why is your wound still bleeding?"

Lingzhen was about to step back, and said casually: "He still had a fever last night." That day Cheng Yingzhou was about to commit suicide, although Fu Linchuan knocked down his sword, but his wound was very long, and because of physical and mental exhaustion, he launched an attack. It's hot.

Ling Zhen heard Si Qing coughing after finishing speaking, said again, "I'll make some pear water." Then she got out and went out.

Xiao Yi looked at Cheng Yingzhou and said nothing, Si Qing said: "Go to see the little lady?"

Xiao Yi nodded and said: "I'm going to see the little lady. The little lady said about Kang Wang's mansion - I'm afraid it's not so easy to find out. Also, Tang Peng was injured unclearly. He was slashed in the chest, and it hasn't been done yet. Awake."

"I chopped it up," Siqing said.

Xiao Yi was surprised: "So you wanted to kill him?"

"After the explosion in the East Palace, there was smoke and chaos everywhere," Siqing said, "I didn't see the face, so I thought he was a traitor, so I gave him a sword." After saying that, Siqing said, "Oh, no, he is a traitor."

Xiao Yi said: "What else does he know..."

Siqing asked Cheng Yingzhou, "Old Cheng, you have worked together for so long, and you really didn't find anything wrong with Tang Peng?"

Cheng Yingzhou shook his head, "The only flaw is that he said that he saw Chen Nanfei, the commander of the former military guard at the Duanwang Mansion's funeral."

"It's Chen Nanfei again," Xiao Yi gritted his teeth, "Could it be him who assassinated the queen this time?" (Chen Nanfei saw Chapter 10 Jiang Feng Yuhuo before)
"It's good for Chen Nanfei to show up, but this time it's definitely not. He's very skilled, the last time was an accident. If he had planned carefully this time, I would have been gone by now." Si Qing said.

"Then is there any connection between this assassination and Zheng Yiqin?" Xiao Yi asked again.

Si Qing said: "I don't know. Zheng Yiqin's target is also the little empress. It's too abnormal for him to do so."

Xiao Yi said again: "Zheng Yiqin's affairs are under investigation by the military guards."

Siqing sneered, "I always feel that Dingfan pushed Ningshou Mansion out, but the praying mantis caught the cicada, and the oriole was behind."
