Mrs. Yipin's Farmer's Wife

Chapter 852 Returning to Beijing (2)
"How about the emperor?" Liu Qiao continued to ask: "The edict of the abolished prince said that the prince was disrespectful. What kind of crime is this? Is the queen mother still in the palace?"

"The emperor is ill, and the empress dowager is in Ci'an Palace. Now the empress is in charge of the harem, and the guards in the palace have also changed." Duke Huai replied, "The emperor is no longer in court, and has entrusted political affairs to the cabinet."

"No one in the court suspects..."

"The emperor issued an order to all the elders in the cabinet face to face." Duke Huai interrupted her.

Liu Qiao quietly took a breath, "Brother Huang is trapped?"

Duke Huai did not answer.

"Then why can Brother Huai see Brother Huang?" Liu Qiao asked again.

Duke Huai smiled, rather self-deprecating, "Because someone needs to appease the clan, and I am the most suitable candidate."

Liu Qiao was silent.

"I have already brought the words." Duke Huai got up, "What to do is up to you." After speaking, he got up and left.

"Brother Huai!" Liu Qiao also got up and said, "Brother Huang asked you to pass on this sentence. Apart from being forced by the situation, you must also believe in Brother Huai! Will Brother Huai help Yong'an?"

"Is this the emperor's order?" Duke Huai turned around and asked.

Liu Qiao was startled, "No, it's the imperial sister's request."

"Forgive me." Duke Huai did not hesitate.

Liu Qiao was not surprised, "I know that Brother Huai has resentment in his heart, but there are many things that even Brother Huang can't do anything about, and Brother Huai should also be aware that compared to other people, Brother Huai's situation is already considered the best. Now, Brother Huai, the surname of Jiangshan in Dazhou is Qin, and your surname is also Qin!"

"You don't believe me?" Duke Huai asked.

Liu Qiao smiled wryly, "Brother Huai doesn't believe me?"

Duke Huai looked at her for a while, and said: "I have already brought the words, whether you believe it or not, it has nothing to do with me." After a pause, he continued, "But Yong'an, even if I am willing to help you, I will not Some people want me to do this! Including your imperial brother!"

Liu Qiao was speechless to refute.

"Let me also remind you that the royal family is ruthless." Duke Huai continued, "It's the same even if it comes from one mother!" After finishing speaking, he added, "Emperor Taiping has been in power for more than 20 years. It fell on my own son." The words fell, and he took a deep look at her, "You can do it yourself!"

Liu Qiao's heart trembled. Looking at Duke Huai who walked into the night, her hands were tightly clenched into fists. Even in the scorching midsummer, she still felt chills all over her body.

After a long time, he leaned on the armrest of the chair and sat down slowly, "Come here."

Zhiqiu quickly stepped inside, "What is the eldest princess' order?"

"Go and stare at Duke Huai!" Liu Qiao ordered in a deep voice, "Don't let him find out!"

"Yes!"

"Zhidong, inform the son-in-law to let him come back!"

"Yes!"

Liu Qiao sat in the hall for a long time, then got up and walked back to the dormitory with some stiff legs. In the dormitory, the soft candlelight flickered. On the bed, Liu Liu spread her hands and feet, sleeping a bit indecently But it is very fragrant.

"Liu Liu..."

Liu Qiao lowered his head and kissed his daughter, as if he wanted to gain warmth and peace of mind from her, but he still couldn't dispel the words of King Huai, Emperor Taiping has been in power for more than 20 years, and it is unreasonable to end up on his own son... …

Doesn't make sense?

But in the battle for the throne, isn't the son defeating Lao Tzu in the end?

What is impossible?

but……

Why is her heart still shuddering.

Was the token left that day a real defense, a real trust in her, or just a move in it?

Yi Zhiyun rushed back after receiving the letter from Liuqiao. Without definite news, he had to return to the barracks even if he wanted to be with his wife and daughter. He was in control of a hundred thousand sailors. life-saving talisman!And when he returned to the mansion, seeing Liu Qiao's expression of not sleeping well, he frowned, "What happened?"

The news from Zhidong was only to let him come back, but he didn't say clearly what happened.

"You're tired." Liu Qiao squeezed out a smile, "I'll ask someone to prepare some food for you, you can rest for a while before talking."

"Aqiao." Yi Zhiyun stopped him, "I'm neither tired nor hungry, what happened?"

Liu Qiao lowered her head and leaned on his shoulder, "Yi Zhiyun, I'm a little scared."

"Don't be afraid." Yi Zhiyun hugged her, "I'm here!"

Liu Qiao smiled, "Well, you're here."

"What happened?" Yi Zhiyun lowered his voice and asked.

Liu Qiao raised his head, feeling a little negative, "Duke Huai came last night."

"What?!" Yi Zhiyun was very surprised, "Prince Huai?" The son of the concubine Xian, who has been traveling all year round and guarding the spirit in the imperial mausoleum, Prince Huai? "What is he here for?"

"Bring me a word from Brother Huang." Liu Qiao said, looking at him, "Yi Zhiyun, there is something I haven't told you all this time."

Yi Zhiyun saw her expression and had a bad feeling in his heart, "What's the matter?"

Liu Qiao smiled wryly, held his hand, pulled him into the inner room, took out a box from the depths of the closet, and opened it, "Brother Huang gave this thing when he left two years ago."

Yi Zhiyun is a general, and he has also been in Beijing, so he naturally knows what this token means, "Your Majesty, this is..."

"At that time, I said it just in case." Liu Qiao smiled, but the smile was a little weak, "But what Duke Huai said was right, if the emperor brother was so easily calculated by others, his throne would have been unstable for a long time. .”

Yi Zhiyun looked at her, "What did Duke Huai bring you?"

"Xishan Camp." Liu Qiao said.

Yi Zhiyun's expression sank, "Is it so serious?"

Liu Qiao repeated the situation reported by Duke Huai, "If it is credible, the situation is indeed very serious."

"What do you want to do?" Yi Zhiyun asked.

Liu Qiao turned to look at him with a pale smile, "I'm sorry, I can't ignore it."

Yi Zhiyun sighed, reached out and held her shoulders, "Don't say sorry again, you forgot again!"

Looking at the man's face in front of him, Liu Qiao's heart gradually calmed down, and he lowered his head and leaned on his shoulder, "I will never forget it again."

"It's okay." Yi Zhiyun reached out and hugged her, "I'm here for everything!"

"it is good."

"But you can't be afraid of my rebellion." Yi Zhiyun also laughed.

Liu Qiao raised his head and pinched him, "What rebellion? Can I afford you, my wife?"

"That's not necessarily true. I lost a lot of money last year." Yi Zhiyun said with a smile.

Liu Qiao raised her eyebrows, "Didn't you give me double the money?" There are a lot of trophies on Mochizuki Island, and although they haven't reached her pocket yet, they can't lose money!
