Chapter 155 Hostage
Emperor Xuan ordered a thorough investigation into the case of the guards.

Yi Qili was supervised by Jin Yiwei all the way, and even Dali Temple couldn't intervene.

Walking out of the gate of the palace, light rain was falling, Liang Mengze caught up with Liang Jingrui who was walking in front, "Brother Emperor, Father suddenly paid attention to this matter, what do you think?"

Liang Jingrui was walking on the road with an oiled paper umbrella, the noise of hawkers on both sides of the road was very low, and the people coming and going didn't stop for long. It was a rainy day, but it felt a bit more desolate.

"The guards in the palace are all selected from the cabinet, which is different from the Ministry of War. They are a bit more descendants of aristocratic families. The second younger brother asked this. Is it possible that there are people you know well among the guards?"

Liang Jingrui looked sideways at Liang Mengze.

Liang Mengze waved his hand, "Well, I'm just a little surprised that the guards in the palace don't talk about thousands of things, and the emperor has a lot of things, so how can he care about the guards? I think it must be Song Zhi who did it. Brother Da Huang and Song Zhi It's that kind of relationship again, you should know more than me, since Brother Dahuang doesn't want to say more, then just pretend I didn't ask."

Liang Mengze waved at Liang Jingrui, got on his horse and disappeared into the street.

Liang Junqi looked at Liang Mengze's back, and said hey, "He's in a hurry, big brother, the selection of palace guards is much more difficult than being a soldier. Since he is a child of a family, Mr. Li is not an ordinary person. Big brother, what happened to you this time? What do you think?"

Liang Jingrui looked as usual, without a trace of expression, "Since it was selected by the cabinet, it is naturally the cabinet's responsibility. However, there are too many people in the cabinet, so it may not be recommended by Mr. Li. We are still looking at the situation."

Liang Junqi saw that he didn't want to say more, so he smiled, and the two walked side by side. Liang Junqi was taller than Liang Jingrui, and he seemed to approach Liang Jingrui, "The concubine mother said that you haven't entered the palace to see her Yes, mother and concubine misses you."

Liang Jingrui's eyes changed slightly, and he lowered his head and smiled wryly, "Every time I go to my concubine, I have to talk about my marriage. I really don't want to embarrass my concubine, but I also don't want to wrong myself, so I can only go less, you go and see more , Don’t let Concubine Mother be alone in the palace, I heard that Concubine Hu was embarrassing Concubine Mother two days ago?”

Liang Junqi snorted coldly, "What can she do as a woman without children? The concubine mother is too soft-tempered. Otherwise, with you and me, who would dare to act presumptuously in front of the concubine mother? You should take the time to visit the concubine mother, father." Huang is always not around, she needs someone to accompany her."

Liang Jingrui looked at him with a smile, "You have grown up and know that you love my concubine mother, so you should go and see more. Concubine mother must be very happy to see you."

Liang Junqi kicked the stones on the ground far away, "I, like you, will always be urged to marry, and I don't want to listen to what she said. I am still young, and you and the second emperor brother are not married. What should I worry about?"

At the intersection, Liang Junqi was going to go to other places, and Liang Jingrui also went back to the mansion.

As soon as he entered, he saw Song Zhi was already waiting in the study. After Liang Jingrui washed his hands, he walked to the study, took off his cloak and threw it on the back of the chair. Song Zhi clasped his fists, "My lord."

Liang Jingrui nodded, pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit freely, did Yi Qili speak?"

Song Zhi shook his head, and tapped his index finger on the armrest, "His mouth is very hard, and he can't get anything useful."

Liang Jingrui sat on the chair behind the desk, with a piece of white rice paper in front of him, and a row of Langhao pens on the pen holder, looking extraordinarily wealthy.

"Father made up his mind to investigate. You must also intervene in the matter of the South Courtyard, but there are some people involved."

Liang Jingrui glanced at the Langhao pen on the pen holder, stretched out his hand and stroked it lightly a few times.

Before he could speak, Song Zhi knelt down on one knee, "Don't worry, my lord, I know what to do."

Song Zhi got up to go out, the moment the door was closed, Liang Jingrui suddenly said: "My concubine has told me about the princess several times, Song Zhi, I have liked someone for a long time, but this person is not willing, what do you say?" How to do it?"

Song Zhi moved his fingers slightly, gently rubbing the scabbard around his waist with his fingertips, "Since you don't want to, then there must be a reason why you don't want to, my lord, why waste time on one person?"

Liang Jingrui sneered, "Yes, why waste time on one person."

Su Qing was reading a book bored in her room, she suddenly sneezed, rubbed her nose and sat up, strange, who is scolding her?

Huasui pushed the door open and ran to Su Qing, "Princess, let me watch Commander Song, he has returned from outside the palace gate."

Su Qing quickly threw the book aside, and walked out quickly, Hua Sui said anxiously behind her: "Princess, don't worry, the Queen Mother is looking for you."

Su Qing came to a sudden stop, turned around and said, "The Queen Mother is looking for me?"

In the past two days, I don't know if it was because of Emperor Liang Xuan's affairs, the Queen Mother didn't see her, and Su Qing didn't go out when she had nothing to do on weekdays. She stayed in her room all day, although she was bored, she had to stay under the eaves.

When they came to the power supply where the queen mother lived, Madam Liu was rubbing her legs when she saw Su Qing coming in, she hurriedly waved at her, pointed to the queen mother, and signaled Su Qing to go out first.

Su Qing nodded quickly, and was just about to go out when the Queen Mother's lazy voice came, "Qing'er, come in."

Su Qing hurriedly knelt down to pay her respects, "Greetings to the empress."

The Empress Dowager was lying on the bed sideways, and Nanny Liu carefully beat her legs. The Empress Dowager looked at Su Qing and twisted her body, "Your Majesty, have you left the palace?"

Su Qing kowtowed and said, "Queen, I don't know."

The queen mother snorted twice and rolled her eyes, "Of course you know, otherwise how would you find out about the guards? If you didn't see it with your own eyes, according to what I know about the emperor, he wouldn't interfere."

Su Qing didn't answer, but kowtowed lower.

"I'm looking for you for nothing else. I just want to tell you that many things are not as simple as they appear on the surface. Tell Commander Song that some people can move, and some people can't."

After a pause, the Empress Dowager said with a smile that was not a smile: "If the cabinet minister finds out the problem, it will naturally cause a sensation in the court. My father has been away for many days, so he should be back."

Coming out of the queen mother's room, Su Qing only felt that her back was very wet. She raised her hand to touch her forehead, and her palms were wet with dense sweat.

Hua Sui was beside her and asked in confusion; "Princess, why did the Queen Mother look for you about the matter of the previous dynasty?"

Su Qing answered silently in her heart, because she was a hostage, a factor Song Zhi had to consider.

"Maybe it's boring."

Su Qing looked at Hua Sui, "You don't have to follow me, I will go back by myself, you can clean the room for me."

With that said, Su Qing turned around and walked towards the northeast corner where Jin Yiwei was.

When passing by the Royal Garden, a voice suddenly called from behind, "Princess Fushou."

When Su Qing turned her head, Concubine Wu was standing not far away at some point, looking at her coldly, Su Qing's heart skipped a beat.
