"I'm not tired." Qing Yun was concerned about Sima Rui and the others in the sky prison and the current situation: "Fifth brother, I have something to discuss with you."

Sima Qi, who is as clear as a mirror, nodded, "Go to the study."

Cai Wanting wanted to hug Lin'er back, but who knew Lin'er would not let go of Qingyun's chest, and Qingyun hadn't seen Lin'er like Lin'er tightly for half a year, so Wen Yan dissuaded Cai Wanting, Mrs. Chao Han, Xu Kexin, Cai Wanting After saluting, he carried Lin'er in his arms, and went to the study with Mo Xuan, Li Feixue, Wu Ying, Lan Jue and Sima Qi.

Lan Jue poured hot tea for the three of Qingyun and closed the window, then stood quietly behind Qingyun with her head bowed.

Wu Ying stood guard at the closed door of the room, paying close attention to the movement outside, to prevent someone from approaching suddenly.

Let Lin'er play with the hair hanging down her cheeks, Qingyun looked at Sima Qi and asked, "Fifth brother, what's going on?"

Although Uncle Leng and Aunt Huang explained the whole story before, some things were ambiguous.

The hand holding the teacup paused, and Sima Qi lowered his eyes slightly, and a complex emotion flashed across his eyes, which was so fast that people couldn't catch it, and there was an inexplicable meaning hidden in his deep voice.

"Originally, the old man planned to pass on the throne to you when you were old, but you had always admired Sima Chun before, and the old man thought that Sima Chun was not your good match and it was not easy to dissuade him, so he decided to talk about it after a while. Unexpectedly, you broke up with me later." The affection for Sima Chun, but also fell in love with Han Mingji, and made a one-year agreement with the old man. Fortunately, you have promised to inherit the throne, and the old man is not easy to object.

After you left the capital, Sima Chun, Lin Bingquan and the others made some changes in private, but the movements were small. The old man seemed unaware of it on the surface, but secretly arranged closely. I protect the emperor's sister-in-law and they leave Beijing secretly, and the sixth child is also in charge of the household department and the military department.

The entire ** team, Zi Yiwei and the dragon guards also made careful arrangements.

One night two months ago, the old man suddenly became seriously ill, and we knew that Sima Chun, Lin Bingquan and other rebels had taken action, but the old man had a plan in advance, so we must not act rashly, and we can only perform our duties according to the old man's plan.After that, I believe you already know. "

"Since father and emperor have made careful arrangements, why didn't they annihilate those rebellious parties in one fell swoop, instead allowing the situation to develop, causing the subjects to suffer from civil strife?" This is also something that Qing Yun couldn't figure out.

Sima Qi raised his lips, and a sneer of sarcasm and resentment was fleeting: "The old man has deep thoughts, who knows what the old man is doing?"

If the old man really loves Jiu'er, he should leave Jiu'er with a stable and peaceful country instead of a situation of turmoil.

If it wasn't for the third brother's persuasion, he would have liked to knock open the old man's head to see what was inside.Why is it so difficult for Jiu'er?

Mo Xuan also strongly disapproved of Emperor Huiwen's approach.

Although this is Xiyan's innate responsibility and obligation, although Xiyan is talented and resourceful, she is only a weak woman after all. How can they have the heart to let Xiyan bear this burden and fall into danger again and again?

Li Feixue's eyelids drooped slightly, her long eyelashes were like the wings of a black butterfly, floating on her beautiful face, she didn't know what she was thinking.

Sensing keenly that Sima Qi seemed to be in a bad mood, Qingyun frowned slightly, but did not pursue further.

"Father...has it really happened? How are the fifth brothers and the others? What about the other sixth brothers?"

She believed that Lin Bingquan did have the ambition to murder his father and covet the throne, but she never had the feeling that his father had been murdered.

What's more, since the father has long been aware of Sima Chun and Lin Bingquan's evil intentions and made arrangements in advance, how could he be easily murdered by Lin Bingquan?

To be exact, she firmly believes that her father, who loves her selflessly, will never be willing to leave her behind.

Looking up, seeing the undisguised worry and apprehension on Qingyun's beautiful and juicy face, Sima Qi resented Emperor Huiwen even more in his heart, so he said in a bad tone: "The old man is a cat and has nine lives. How could he suffer so easily?" Killed the poisonous hands!"

Hearing that Sima Qi was so unrestrained, Qingyun's originally calm eyes instantly sparked with reproach.

Seeing this, Sima Qi stopped his mouth immediately, and rubbed his nose resentfully: "On the night when the news of the old man's serious illness came out, I brought people to escort the emperor's wife and the others to this manor. I don't know the details; The situation of the third brother and the others was only after the secret letter was sent by the secret guard of the third brother, so I knew that the third brother and the others were only imprisoned in the sky prison and were not tortured; as for the sixth brother, I didn’t hear any rumors It seems to have disappeared out of thin air."

"Has there been no news of the father since then?"

Seeing Sima Qi shaking his head, Qingyun couldn't help but congeal, feeling both grateful and heavy.

Fortunately, Fifth Brother and the others were only imprisoned and not sentenced to punishment.

The sad thing is that when Uncle Leng left, Lin Bingquan forced his father to take poison. Although Uncle Leng said that the loyal little Fuzi quietly rescued the "remains" of his father when the Mingde Hall caught fire, his whereabouts are still unknown. Wei and the Hulong clan secretly dug three feet into the ground inside and outside the capital, but they did not find any clues.

What worries her even more is that there is no news of Sixth Brother, has he been murdered?Or like Fifth Brother and the others, Father arranged for Sixth Brother to leave early in the morning?

She would rather believe that Brother Six is ​​safe and sound, but is hiding somewhere in the capital and waiting for an opportunity.

Not to mention that the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households have always been important departments of the imperial court. Now this critical moment is even more important. The Ministry of War is better, at least they are officials promoted or promoted from the frontier army. They are upright, loyal and patriotic. However, the household department has always been secretly controlled by Lin Bingquan, and Zhang Zishan only obeys Lin Bingquan's orders. Is it possible that the father is not aware of the stakes?How could the sixth brother be in charge of both the military department and the household department?

"How about the harem concubines and younger brothers and sisters?"

"Those who had any grievances with Lin Yufeng, Lin Yufeng ordered them to be buried with him under false decree, and the rest of the concubines, princes and princesses were all under house arrest in the cold palace."

Qingyun's mind was shocked: "Isn't Feng Zhaoyi also..."

"No." Sima Qi shook his head: "More than three months ago, the old man arranged for Feng Zhaoyi to go to the Ci Ning Nunnery on the grounds of praying for blessings, and then sent someone to secretly transfer Feng Zhaoyi. , so no one knows where Feng Zhaoyi is now."

Hearing this, Qingyun felt relieved. The death of Feng Zhaoyi's father and brother was related to Lin Bingquan and Lin Yufen. I believe that Lin Yufen and Lin Bingquan would never let Feng Zhaoyi go. Her father's arrangement was very good, and she didn't want anything to happen to Feng Zhaoyi. As for house arrest She will do her best to save the concubines and younger brothers and sisters in the cold palace.

"It's a pity that the west, south and north of the capital are surrounded by Lin Bingquan's people, and the investigation is extremely strict. It is very difficult for us to enter the capital. Even if there is a secret passage leading to the Luoxia Palace in the city, we cannot sneak in Going back to the palace, let alone rescuing the third brother and the others, if we sneak back to the palace from the east, we have to detour for more than a month, and now the situation is changing rapidly, we cannot allow us to detour or wait."

The most important thing is that Lin Ping may have noticed her whereabouts and secretly reported Lin Bingquan. Lin Bingquan should send people to track her down everywhere at this moment, let alone Zhang Lianwu and Juechen Palace who are deeply scheming.

Although Zhang Lianwu is ambitious and wants to usurp the throne like Lin Bingquan, but once it is known that she is back, the two people who regard her as a common enemy will join hands to deal with her. She is not afraid of them, but now is not the time Go head to head with them or risk innocent subjects.

Mo Xuan suddenly said: "I can sneak back to the capital to check the situation, and visit third brother and the others."

"When Lin Ping returns to the inn and finds that we have left, he will definitely have doubts and strengthen his precautions. It's too dangerous for you to return to Beijing alone, so I don't worry." Qingyun firmly objected.

Frowning, Sima Qi asked in surprise, "You met Lin Ping?"

Qingyun nodded and told what happened today.

"Fortunately, Mo Xuan's witty design distracted Lin Ping, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Seeing several people looking at him suspiciously, Sima Qi said in a deep voice: "It is said that Lin Ping is more insidious, cunning and cruel than Lin Bingquan. It is said that he only brings about a thousand soldiers with him every time he travels, but in fact there are thousands of people far away secretly." Follow from afar, once they see Lin Ping's signal, they will swarm to him quickly. How many of Lin Ping's opponents and past business travelers have fallen into his hands in this way, and in the end, either life is worse than death or death without a place to die, but there is no trace. If you can't find out, if you face him head-on, not only will it be difficult for you to retreat, but your lives will also be in danger."

After hearing this, Qingyun and the others looked solemn and thoughtful.

Especially Mo Xuan, he did feel a little strange today, but at the time he didn't want Xiyan to take the risk to rescue Lu Jianzhi himself, so he came up with such a plan. Now that he thinks about it, the strange feeling should be hiding in the distance to protect Lin Ping of those people.

Taking a deep look at Mo Xuan, Sima Qi's eyes flashed with an unclear edge, and then he looked at Qingyun: "I have a way to enter the capital, but the imperial guards were instigated, the Xiaowei camp was besieged, and the Ziyiwei almost All were transferred out of the capital, and the dragon guards..."

"The dragon guards have been hiding in various parts of the capital, and follow the late emperor's order to follow the nine princesses to the death!" Li Feixue said suddenly.

Sima Qi was startled, and then suddenly realized: No wonder the old man has a plan in his chest, so it is.

When the lanterns come on, the bright moonlight in the dark night sky and the flickering candlelight complement each other, and the cool night wind blows gently, bringing the fragrance of flowers and plants in the garden.

Carrying Lin'er, who had fallen asleep peacefully, back to Cai Wanting's room, and after talking with Mrs. Han for a while, Qingyun sternly ordered the three of Mo Xuan to go back to their rooms to rest, and then strolled on the moonlit tree-lined path, standing still. thinking about things.

A faint scent of wine suddenly wafted by the wind, Qingyun frowned slightly, and walked away following the scent of wine.
