Chapter 38
Jiang Feng went to investigate Chen Nanfei's whereabouts, but Siqing was very disturbed, because when he talked to Xiao Yi, he felt that things became more and more strange.But after Xiao Yi found out that the leader was Chen Nanfei, he didn't care about it anymore. The matter of cutting down the vassal made the government and the people cloudy, and he had to cheer up to deal with it.

Dingfan occupies the advantages of gold and copper mines, and also has the danger of mountains, rivers and rivers. It has been in operation for many years and has deep roots. The imperial court has many scruples about cutting down the clan.When the two kings Duan Jing were in power, they both hoped that the Ding Fan would be self-contained, but the Ding Fan has not shown signs of decadence for many years.Today, if you insist on cutting down the feudal clan, you can cut down the Dingfan clan, but you will have to send officers and soldiers to guard them and move them around.To cut down the vassal, regardless of whether there is a war or not, it will inevitably consume state funds.Where does the money come from is another big problem for the court.

This day Xiao Yi was angry in the Zhengqing Palace, and someone immediately asked Siqing to calm him down.

The Ninghua Palace is filled with the smell of various spices. The newcomer He Meiren is not as domineering as the previous clan sister Ning Concubine, but is very gentle and elegant.At the moment she is sitting on the table under Siqing's window, sharing incense for Siqing.

Da Dang Heshun, who was beside Xiao Yi, came in hurriedly, bowed to Si Qing out of breath, and said: "Your Majesty is so angry that no one can persuade you. Please move to persuade the Empress. "

Siqing casually asked: "What are you doing here looking for Ben Gong? Go find you Nine Kings."

"The Nine Kings are not at the mansion, they have gone out of the city, where can we find them?"

Siqing ordered Lingzhen: "Is this unruly? Why don't you serve tea?"

He Shun hurriedly said: "The little one has no life to drink tea, and invite the empress..."

"My palace has my affairs, so I can't be idle." Siqing said and gave Lingzhen a wink, Lingzhen stepped forward, half delayed, half persuaded, and pushed Heshun out.

He Meiren smiled lightly: "I don't know why Your Majesty is so angry?"

Siqing said: "It's just a matter of court. Have you... thought it through?"

"Ever since I accidentally heard the real cause of Sister Ning's death, I have already thought about it. Empress, I hope you can..."

"If I believe it or not, you can only choose to believe me. Otherwise, do you think He Shizhi will treat your father well? This is not only good for me, but also good for you. You can even put forward some conditions to He Shizhi. .”

He Meiren leaned back in the chair slowly, only feeling weak and weak all over, and tears flowed down unconsciously.

Siqing said indifferently: "Everyone has their own destiny, there is nothing to cry about." Seeing that she was still biting her lip and sobbing, Siqing suddenly asked tentatively, "Do you hate me?"

He Mei said humanely: "The concubine originally thought that if the concubine was from the He family, even if His Majesty took a fancy to the concubine, the queen would try to stop her."

Siqing smiled and said: "The most dangerous person is sometimes the safest because he knows the basics. This is life, do you recognize it?" After speaking, she asked Ling Zhen, "Go to the Zhengqing Palace to see where Your Majesty is. How's the situation?"

As soon as the words finished, He Shun came in again and said, "Empress Empress, Your Majesty is here to invite you."

Ling Zhen also came in and said, "My uncle and wife are here."

He Meiren hurriedly wiped her tears and said goodbye, Siqing asked Yunchu to send her out, and said to Lingzhen: "Please wait a moment, sister, I will go to the Zhengqing Hall first."

Siqing walked to the gate of the side hall of the Zhengqing Hall and dismissed the servants, and heard Xiao Yi tell Cheng Yingzhou that he planned to invite Dingfan to "go to Beijing to report on his work" as a test.

"The allusion of 'a cup of wine releases the power of soldiers' was used by the ancestor of Yi, and it has been widely circulated and known to everyone. Does the third brother think that King Dingnan is so stupid?"

Cheng Yingzhou saluted Si Qing from the side, and Si Qing waved his hand to signal him to excuse him. Xiao Yi said, "I didn't say that the purpose of inviting Dingfan to Beijing is to 'release military power with a glass of wine'."

"It's not 'a glass of wine releases military power', is it 'cooking wine and talking about heroes'?"

Ling Zhen, who was following Siqing, heard that Siqing was talking more and more, and quickly coughed lightly.

Siqing asked Ling Zhen: "There are a lot of willow catkins recently, can your throat not bear the catkins?"

Xiao Yi finally couldn't hold back a smile.

Siqing glared at Xiao Yi, and only said: "Mrs. Yuanxi is here, I want to talk to her." She got up and left.Xiao Yi waited to call her, but she didn't answer.

Jiang Feng went into the Forbidden City to talk to Si Qing, and Si Qing came back from the Zhengqing Palace to meet her, and asked first, "Do you have any clues?"

Jiang Feng shook his head and said, "Maybe we've been watching too closely recently, and they've all hidden themselves. I'm thinking, I'd better cool off first."

Siqing said, "That's the only way to go."

Jiang Feng took the opportunity to talk about Shen Jiangdong's disapproval of the withdrawal of the feudal clan, "Perhaps His Highness's persuasion is still useful. If the feudal clan is cut down, there will be a battle between the imperial court and the Dingfan. The fire is burning, and the people are innocent?" Jiang Feng said.

Siqing smiled again, and said casually: "I neither agree nor disagree with this matter. I don't get involved in the affairs of the court. Otherwise, from the clan to Wutai, one person will carry a sign saying 'no political affairs in the harem' If it hits me, I will die without a whole body. Besides, if I persuade Your Majesty to cut down the feudal clan, if the situation is out of control, I will become the target of public criticism; if I persuade Your Majesty not to cut down the feudal clan, one day Dingnan Wang Bingqiangmazhuang suddenly rebelled, Your Majesty What do you think? In short - I don't make trouble for myself. "

Jiang Feng didn't expect Si Qing to answer like this, and he couldn't help thinking of Shen Jiangdong's words that "slandered" Si Qing in his mind, only to hear Si Qing ask again: "Do you know what that paralytic He Shizhi said?"

Jiang Feng said, "I didn't say anything."

Siqing asked Jiang Feng again: "There is only one Fan Ziran left in the cabinet, do you know what he said?"

Jiang Feng said: "Mr. Fan Ge said the decree."

Siqing listened and smiled: "'Straight as a string, dead on the edge of the road; curved like a hook, anti-housing', brother Shen has been in a high position for a long time, don't you understand this truth? Elder Fan Ge, he is smarter than you."

Jiang Feng suddenly turned his head to look at Si Qing, who smiled again: "Could it be that you want Brother Shen to be a lone minister?"

Although Siqing didn't say much, there were some people in the court who opposed it.Xiao Yi discussed with the Ministry of War about increasing armored soldiers, increasing silver and grain, reorganizing military equipment, and performing military parades. It can be discerned from the words that Xiao Yi is determined to cut down the feudal clan.

Some ministers and workers had doubts: "Will the military parade make Dingfan paranoid?"

Xiao Yi said: "The military parade is for the purpose of governing the country and not forgetting the danger. I want to see it with China and foreign countries."

Some ministers tactfully persuaded: "In order to cure the inherent problems, it is very urgent to seek the cure, and the harm is serious, and the haste is not enough. Your Majesty is angry at the corruption and insufficiency. Why don't you rectify the officials first, and then seek to solve the problem?" What about Dingfan?"

Xiao Yi said: "Two-pronged approach, wouldn't it be cheaper?"

Xu Wenchang said: "Forgive me, if your majesty wants to cut down the vassal, it is not appropriate to pursue the shortfalls left by Wu Tiande at the moment, otherwise it will give the vassal an opportunity to take advantage of it. It is too urgent to seek treatment, or people want to use things, and there is no desire to do so. You can speak kingly."

Xiao Yi said: "Time changes."

Fan Ziran said: "Your Majesty said that nights are long and dreams are many."

Yang Wanquan of the Ministry of Punishment said: "When a gentleman advances, the villain retreats, and when the villain advances, the gentleman retreats. The gentleman and the villain are incompatible. Since ancient times, the rule of time has been long and the chaos has been more. It is because of neglecting the righteous and loving the villain. Far away, you must know sincerity.”

Xiao Yi asked back: "Who are you referring to by the villain?"

Yang Wanquan didn't answer.

The official officials of the sky couldn't help but came out and advised: "Only by long-term planning can the general response be correct, otherwise, it may be absurd."

Fan Ziran interjected, "Heavenly officials are being too cautious."

The senior Wang An relied on his old way of selling old ways: "The matter of cutting down the vassals should be delayed and not quick, otherwise the imperial court will be caught in the fire, and it will not damage your majesty's morality? At the beginning of the country, the vassals were cut down, and the vassals rebelled, and it was a waste of money. It was pacified. Emperor Wuzong had already ordered the kings to no longer be feudal vassals, and Dingnan vassal king had been in the frontier for many years, and there was no major fault. Fan Ziran knew that withdrawing the vassal was useless, and he still called the decree, which was clearly flattering the emperor!"

Xiao Yi was furious when he heard this, but he didn't want to directly attack this uncle.Just as he was about to say a few words, an admonisher at Yushitai immediately joined in, kowtowing and saying: "If your majesty is determined to cut down the vassal, the ministers will definitely break their heads and make admonitions."

The admonishers of Yushitai came out to salute one after another.

Xiao Yi was about to have an attack, but he held it back and retreated.

"Based on the time, the person I sent to meet Princess Xianju should already be on his way back to Beijing," Xiao Yi said to Si Qing that day, "I hope the fourth child will not go wrong."

Siqing asked, "Are you ready to do something? For what reason?"

"There is no need for a reason," Xiao Yi said, "I have already thought about it. This time I will decree to cut down the feudal clan. If there is no action to fix the feudal clan, I will plan it slowly."

"It's impossible for him to not move," Siqing said, "Do you think Dingfan will remain unmoved?"

Xiao Yi said coldly: "If he takes action, I don't need a reason."

The next day, today's decree allows the king of the South to leave the capital to take care of him, and his heirs are not allowed to inherit the king's title.The throne of the two vassals will be abolished, and the former military system will be returned to the local government.

At this time Siqing was resting on the rocking chair, He Meiren came in quietly, stepped forward gently, and helped Siqing to help the golden hairpin that had slipped out of her temple.

Si Qing didn't move, didn't open her eyes, just said: "You and I shouldn't communicate too often, it's easy to make you suspicious."

He Meiren said softly: "The concubine has revealed His Majesty's views on the matter of Ding Fan according to what the empress said."

Siqing smiled: "Is Your Majesty satisfied?"

He Mei said humanely: "Satisfied."

Siqing said again: "You can take advantage of the situation to raise some conditions. Go."

He Meiren agreed, stepped back slightly, saluted, and left.

Seeing that He Meiren had left, Ling Zhen walked up and said, "Young lady, can you really trust her completely?"

"He Shizhi is far away from the imperial capital right now, and is eager to find out what the third brother is thinking. Why don't we send some news to He Shizhi through He Meiren? It is equivalent to catching He Shizhi's way of collecting information. He Meiren is smart. People, if she has a different heart, I can block all the channels for her to get information. If she can't send the letter, He Shizhi will not treat her parents kindly, and she will become an outcast of the He clan. What is Ning Bi It's not like she doesn't know what will happen."

Ling Zhen said: "He Shizhi is finished, do we need to spend so much thought?"

Siqing replied: "Others are paralyzed, but their brains are not paralyzed. A centipede is not dead enough to be stiff, so we have to guard against it. I'm afraid there will be chaos in the court soon, so let's be more careful in everything."

Not long after, King Dingnan beheaded the governor of Guangchuan, raised his flag and rebelled.

It was about to rain that day, and there was thunder for half a day, but only a little raindrops fell.In the afternoon a few dim rays of sunlight fell through the cloudy clouds.

While arranging the small things in the dowry, Siqing soaked cloves and wrinkled wrinkle in warm wine.Xiao Yi walked in and saw that she was cutting tiny gold leaf flowers.There are large and small porcelain cups on the dressing table, as well as a plate of wax and a plate of comfrey.

Lingzhen walked in and saw Siqing was fiddling with the bottles and jars in hand, so she asked, "What are you going to do?"

Siqing replied: "Make some golden flower rouge."

Ling Zhen said: "Please go over to the Maode Hall."

Comfrey, spices, and gold leaf are fried in wax, stirred evenly, and poured into thin bamboo tubes to condense.Siqing wiped her hands with the water brought by Lingzhen, and said, "Let's go, let's go to Maode Hall."

After Dingfan raised troops, until July [-]st, the rebel army was in full swing, and the world was in jeopardy.People's hearts in the imperial capital are also fluctuating, every door is locked, and shops are closed.

At this time, the battle was stalemate, and Xiao Yi was restless. As soon as Siqing entered the Maode Hall, he saw that the manuscripts were scattered all over the floor, and half a volume of maps were also thrown on the ground.The account books of the Ministry of War were piled up in the cabinets on the four walls, and their own books and music scores were crowded into wrinkles. They couldn't help saying: "Why is it so messy?" I can't find anything I want."

The palace man replied: "Your Majesty said that there is order in the chaos. Your Majesty knows where everything is put. Don't let us clean it up."

When I walked to the study, I saw Xiao Yi was writing an edict at the desk. Siqing took the tea from Yu Chu, ordered the palace people to go down, and said to Xiao Yi: "Do you want to save money? I sent all the edicts, and I want you to write them yourself. Purpose."

Xiao Yi looked tired: "Are you here? Come and see what I wrote."

Siqing walked over and saw that it was an imperial edict reprimanding Dingfan.Read it through and say, "You only said he was ungrateful, but you didn't scold him."

Xiao Yi smiled: "I said he was ungrateful, didn't I just scold him?" He also wrote, "The thief behaved rebelliously, owed the favor of the court to support him, and once he was arrogant, he spread fierce rebellion and ruined life. It is unreasonable." , Man and God share the wrath" added.

"The army in the middle route is disadvantaged in marching, or they can be restrained by the two wings." Xiao Yi said.

Siqing said, "I haven't read military books, so I don't understand."

Xiao Yi sighed, Si Qing turned around and walked away quietly.

In that year, the barbarians were panicked, King Duan avoided living in Beijing, the cabinet headed by Fan Ziran was silent, and Xinzheng had never had a good life.In the blink of an eye, the next year, the imperial court lost several provinces in a row. The fire in front of the army had already reached Hunan and Jiangxi, and the smoke and dust were billowing, approaching the rich land on the left of the river.Reports came like snowflakes, and the imperial court devoted all its energy to the battle of Hunan and Jiangxi.Facing Tuzhi alone, Xiao Yi stood with his hands behind his back, sleepless all night.

I don't know how long it has passed, stepping on the dark night before dawn, Siqing is wearing a porcelain blue cloak, gently pushing aside the curtain and walking.Xiao Yi didn't turn around, but still looked at Tuzhi, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "You're here."

Siqing said, "I'm here."

Xiao Yi turned around slowly, "The rebel army went down several provinces in a row, and the momentum was so great that I didn't expect it."

Siqing smiled and interrupted Xiao Yi's words: "Yesterday, Mrs. Hu from Duanwang's Mansion gave me a painting." She took out the scroll from her sleeve and shook it away. The painting depicted the moon in the Three Gorges of Badong. color.In the painting, the wind is rushing and the sky is high, and the waves and gloomy mountains, rocks, vegetation are dyed with large brushstrokes. There is a poem inscribed:
The high river is rushing to the gorge, and the thunder is fighting, and the green trees and cang vines are dimmed by the sun and the moon.

It is better to return to Ma Yi as a military horse. There are hundreds of families in a thousand families today.

When Xiao Yi saw the inscribed poem, his face became more and more serious, and he asked, "Is it from Duan Wangfu?"

Siqing replied: "Yes." She rolled up the scroll as if nothing had happened, walked to the brazier, and threw the painting into the brazier.The ashes of the paper flew up, and the ink color was completely destroyed.Seeing this, Xiao Yi regained some color on his face, and said, "The first two sentences are to warn you, and the last two sentences are to mock me."

Siqing said: "Don't be suspicious. The painter just inscribed Du Shaoling's poems in order to make the painting and calligraphy fit together."

Xiao Yi said: "After the restoration of Yuezhou, Chenzhou has never been able to conquer. The Central Route Army can be said to be alone. After the Battle of Yuezhou, many people were lost. In addition, Beixian County in the northwest of Chenzhou City is still in the hands of the enemy. Fortification along the line from Bei County to Chenzhou City failed to form a siege of Chenzhou. The battle of Chenzhou cannot be delayed any longer."

Siqing asked, "What's the third brother's plan?"

"The king of Anping County is quite arrogant in the army," Xiao Yi sighed, "There is no one available right now, so we have to let Yuanxi go first."

Si Qing suddenly changed her cautious style of speaking in the past, and said with a sneer: "Shen Yuan has gone to the west, so it can be seen that the situation is difficult now. Have you left King Duan in Xijing for half a year? Third brother, don't you worry that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and he is in touch with foreign enemies?"

After listening to the explanation, Xiao Yi said: "Prince Duan will return to Beijing soon."

A few days later, King Duan finally "recovered" from Shangjing and returned to the Imperial Capital. He entered the palace the next day after arriving in the Imperial Capital.Jinshang originally made full preparations to deal with King Duan's return to the capital, but he didn't expect to be unable to use it, so he explored to discuss the matter of food and salary with him, and the talk went smoothly.

King Duan took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty can issue an order to persuade local officials not to be rebellious, to return to sincerity and forget the past."

Xiao Yi said: "What Uncle Wang said is true."

The two agreed on many details, and King Duan recommended the grain management system, and Xiao Yi also accepted it.

"He guards the grain road in Jiangxi. This person is cautious. Duke Jia stayed in Yingtian last year for some reason, and now he is near Jiangnan, and he can lead the army. It is very useful."

The enemy is now, even though Xiao Yi had a lot of dissatisfaction with King Duan in the past, the two have reached an unspeakable tacit understanding, and all the knots in their hearts seem to be wiped out along with the painting that Siqing burned.

In the blink of an eye, it was summer, and this summer was also unbearably hot, and the hot wind mixed with the fragrance of flowers made people drowsy.After Shen Jiangdong went to the front line from Jiangzuo, Siqing and Jiang Feng became more and more in touch.That evening, Siqing sent Jiang Feng back from Ninghua Hall, wearing only white silk around the waist, a sky blue gauze shirt, and a purple silk skirt, and ordered the bamboo couch to be placed outside, and she leaned on the couch to enjoy the cool air.Holding a Kesi Xiangfei bamboo fan in his hand, he beat the wind one by one, and the handle of the fan became tired of sweat after a while.Siqing switched hands to hold the fan, while the other hand reached for the grapes in the ice bowl.

Before Siqing touched the grape herself, an ice grape was fed into Siqing's mouth, and when Siqing bit it, she bit her finger.

Through the tapestry fan, Xiao Yi's face appears in the gap between the tapestry.Siqing knocked off Xiao Yi's hand, sipped at Rose's lip balm, half sat up and said, "It's elusive again."

Xiao Yi saw that Siqing's mouth was translucent, like a cherry with drops of water, so he took advantage of the situation and kissed it.Siqing blocked it with her fan, and said angrily, "What are you doing in the blue sky? See if you broke my fan."

Xiao Yi took the fan to beat the wind for Siqing, and said with a smile, "It's very hot this year. You are afraid of the cold and heat, do you want to stay in Zhiyuan for a while?"

Siqing tugged at the collar of her gauze shirt and said, "I really want to go, but I don't have time right now."

Xiao Yi said: "It's time to eat, don't eat those ice grapes, it's easy to hurt your stomach."

Siqing said: "As soon as you say it, I'm hungry. Let's pass on the meal." Yin ordered Lingzhen, "Put the table on Zhanyun Tower."

Xiao Yi and Siqing first went up to Zhanyun Tower hand in hand, opened the long windows on the four walls, and let the evening breeze from the heights enter the hall.Xiao Yi said: "Sure enough, I feel less depressed in the high place."

Siqing said: "I see you are very happy today, the battle went well?"

Xiao Yi said: "No. Now that Yuanxi has gone to the army, I feel more at ease."

Siqing suddenly turned around and leaned against the screen, and asked: "There is one thing I have never asked. How is Princess Xianju?"

Xiao Yi's smile disappeared instantly, and he was silent for a moment and said, "She's gone, I asked someone to look for her."

Siqing knew that Princess Xianju was originally the daughter of King Jing, who was adopted by the late emperor and named a princess.Because of the old King Jing and the Empress Dowager, Xiao Yi was quite distant from her. Seeing that Xiao Yi was secretive, Si Qing stopped talking.

After the two had finished eating, Xiao Yi left by himself.Siqing called Yun Chulai to give instructions, and then asked Lingzhen, "Where is Your Majesty?"

Ling Zhen said: "Your servant doesn't know either. Just now, your servant went to Concubine Zhou Rong to report to the Inner Court Secretary." Siqing asked Yunchu again, just as Yunchu was about to speak, Xiao Yi walked in from the outside with his hands behind his back.Yun Chu blew out the lamps and candles in the hall with a "poof".

Countless fireflies flew into the temple, like stars one by one.In the darkness, Siqing's eyes were extraordinarily bright: "Just now, third brother went to Yongxiang to catch this?"

Xiao Yi smiled and said: "It's so boring. I wanted to surprise you in the dark, but I forgot that you have a pair of night eyes."

Siqing stretched out her hand, and the firefly skipped over her palm.Countless worldly worries are left behind in this dreamlike scene.In Xiao Yi's eyes, a beautiful woman's exhibition is the most beautiful sight in the world.

Siqing said with a smile: "I think of Bai Letian's poem, 'The fireflies fly in the evening hall, and the solitary lamp is exhausted to sleep. The night is long and the night is long, and the galaxy is about to dawn.'" At this point, Siqing suddenly felt a little bit Lost, the next sentence is, "'Mandarin duck tiles are cold and frosty, and the emerald quilt is cold. Whoever shares it.'"

Xiao Yi hugged Si Qing and said, "I don't want other people's poems, but my own."

"I don't have enough ink, so I can't figure it out. I used to be in the south, and behind the house was Jiahe's Nanhu Lake, also known as 'Mandarin Duck Lake'. At that time, I didn't have to be like now. If I wanted to be arty, recite poems and compose fu, I had to 'float life and steal half a day'." ’, ran to the Nanyuanxiyuan Garden for a stroll.”

Xiao Yi said softly: "Recently all kinds of worries and worries are not smooth, only when we are together, I feel that my heart can calm down."

At this moment, the illusion, disguise, mystery, and complexity in the Forbidden City turned into silence in the silent embrace of the two.

Siqing said: "There's a draft here, so it's cooler. You can sleep for a while. I'll read some poems to you."

Siqing read softly: "The embellishment on the lake is measured by the jade ruler. The title of the article and several times I wrote it down. I once wrote that the top of the cliff is so magnificent, and the Taihu Lake is boundless. Stop the radius, Zhejiang, and the Big Dipper. Take advantage of the cold moon from [-] Swaying back in the vast lake. It is difficult to give birth to a bird-hating bird, for Rao Youxing. Fighting in vain rather throwing it away, but still thinking about the twilight. Asking the broken bridge to ask the willow to find flowers again. Lu loses his face, hates his mistakes. He is self-forgiving when he is strong in the country, and he regrets his injustice. Naturally, he is only envious of mandarin ducks. The lakeside is happy to leave fragrance and dreams..."

Xiao Yi finally fell into a deep sleep, snoring evenly.Siqing stretched out her hand to smooth Xiao Yi's forehead, and then said: "The pavilion is exquisite, and it is best to roll up the bead curtains. It takes a lot of time to lean on the railing for half a day, even if the sea becomes a field. I want to go up to the next floor, and the trees are lost in the southern dynasty. Ren Xiaofeng blows away many towers in the 480 Temple. Sorrows and swallows fly together. Do you know that last night, the green badge was played softly, asking for the slightest trace. The feeling of parting from the lonely hall is fastened, but it is strange to act like the emperor. It is deliberately cloudy and sunny Wrong note, living in a high place is extremely cold. And the coir hat can carry a flat boat. I want to sit and wait, but I am afraid that there will be an appointment at dusk. There is no mist and rain everywhere, and the gossip at the top of the building is the sunset..."

Siqing's Kesi fan was stained with the aroma of "Tiangongqiao" rouge, and when she swung the fan in the quiet room, the fragrance wafted away.Siqing couldn't help but leaned closer to the fan and took a deep sniff, and continued to blow the wind to Xiao Yi.

Ling Zhen came timidly into the hall, Si Qing heard the movement, put down her fan, motioned Ling Zhen to come out and talk to herself.

Ling Zhen said from the outside: "There is a battle report, Kui Ye threw it in through the crack of the palace gate, I'm afraid there is something important."

Siqing frowned and thought for a while, then walked in and gently shook Xiao Yi awake: "There is a battle report, you go back to Maode Hall to have a look."

Boss Xiao Yi was reluctant, but he still went back to Maode Hall.

Siqing couldn't sleep no matter what, she didn't want to do anything in the heat, she leaned against the marble screen and fanned herself in a daze.Suddenly, a cool wind mixed with the smell of rain poured into the room, thunder burst from the sky, and the mountain rain was about to come.

Ling Zhen came in hastily: "Your Majesty read the battle report and ordered Kui Yeji to open the palace gate and call Duan Wang and others to enter the palace." After hearing this, Si Qing suddenly turned around and asked, "Is there a defeat ahead?"

Ling Zhen said: "Yes... I heard it is... Duke Jia."

The Kesi fan fell to the ground, and Siqing sat back in the armchair under the window, speechless for a long time.
