Chapter 131 Let's Sing the Fake Show for Real!
One day later, after the court was over, Su Qingyuan and Lu Li rode together in a luan chariot, brought a guard of honor, went out of the palace gate with a lot of bragging, and went straight to the Beiyan Posthouse.
In the post house, Beiyan warriors greeted each other with drums and music, and a woman in a tight dance dress was introduced into the courtyard. The envoys bowed to greet them.
The "Northern Swallow Envoys" stood up in turn to toast Lu Li, and they were very courteous, saying things like "good friends from generation to generation" and "benefit to all people".
Lu Li did not refuse anyone who came, but after a long time he became a little drunk and started talking nonsense.
"The emperor is probably drunk, Xiao Luzi quickly stopped him, and he was not allowed to drink any more." Su Qingyuan ordered with a frown.
"Qin Jiao, the third prince of Beiyan" got up and said with a smile, "If you don't get drunk, you have let down the fine wine feast? Empress Dowager, don't worry, the Beiyan Post House is also the emperor's own home, so are you afraid that no one will take care of you if you are drunk?"
Seeing this, Su Qingyuan stopped meddling, and gradually focused on singing and dancing.
The banquet continued to be filled with wine and wine, and another half an hour later, the envoys of Beiyan were also drunk and disoriented, and they were in a bad shape.
A few little girls came in one after another outside the door, and delivered two jugs of wine to each table, and then stood by and waited on them without retreating.
Su Qingyuan noticed the gait and standing posture of those little girls, and she knew it in her heart.
Sure enough, not long after, a girl quietly came to her side: "Although the silk and bamboo in the palace are good, listening to them for a long time will inevitably make people irritated. How about slaves serving the Empress Dowager to go out and be quiet for a while?"
Su Qingyuan helped the teacup beside the armrest: "Ai's family has never drunk, so you are still afraid that Ai's family will not be drunk?"
"On a good day, if you don't get drunk with wine, everyone gets drunk." The little girl pursed her lips and smiled, looking very delicate and cute, but her eyes were a little dull.
Su Qingyuan winked at "Qin Jiao", and stood up with a smile: "I never thought that the girl in Beiyan Posthouse would be so smart——You are Ai Jiayi!"
"Qin Jiao" smiled and raised the wine cup in his hand to her.
Lu Li, who was already drunk by the table, tensed up, pretending to be carrying a pot to pour wine, and quietly kicked Xiaoluzi under the table.
Su Qingyuan followed the little girl out, passed through the rockery in the garden, and entered a hidden pavilion.
The little girl supported Su Qingyuan and turned the screen directly, and sat down on the bed in the inner room: "It's still early, the queen mother might as well rest here first."
Su Qingyuan had already looked at the pavilion carefully when she came.After making sure there was no one else around, she grabbed the girl's hand and asked with a smile, "Where is your master?"
"Your Highness will be here soon." The little girl smiled.
Su Qingyuan patted the back of her hand heavily: "Don't do this with me, I can tell you are from the palace just by the way you walk! Let me ask you, how did you get out of the palace gate? , How did you sneak into the post? Where is Aunt Nian?"
The little palace maid quickly knelt down and said in a low voice: "This servant came out of the tunnel yesterday following the order of Aunt Nian. There was someone in the post house to meet us, so we came in without any trouble."
"Who is meeting you? Does the third prince know about it? One of you is in the palace and the other is in the post house. It shouldn't be convenient for you to contact me?" Su Qingyuan continued to ask.
The little maid smiled and said: "Although the third prince does not often enter the palace, there are always people around him who often enter the palace. The empress dowager can rest assured that everything will be safe with Auntie's arrangement."
"Often in the palace? Are you talking about the girl next to Princess Hejing?" Su Qingyuan was startled.
The little maid froze for a moment, then nodded.
Su Qingyuan's face was ugly.
Jiaoer is not Princess Hejing's personal maid, but a female official beside Qin Jiao.During the time when Princess Hejing lived in the palace, this girl would go back and forth between the palace city and the post house every two or three days.If she was passing the news in the middle, how could Aunt Nian not know that Qin Jiao had left Beijing secretly?
Su Qingyuan quickly drew a few strokes on the little maid's wrist, raised her head and said with a smile, "You haven't answered my most important question - where is Auntie Nian?"
The little maid blinked her eyes and said in a daze, "It's in the flower hall just now."
"What is she doing there?!" Su Qingyuan was shocked and couldn't help standing up.
Just as the little maid was about to reply, there were already hurried footsteps outside, and it was the "Third Prince Qin Jiao of Northern Yan" who came in.
"Go down." He ordered the little maid as soon as he entered the door.
"Wait a minute!" Su Qingyuan was anxious.
"Qin Jiao" grabbed her wrist, pulled her into his arms, and laughed softly: "What are you calling her for? The arrow is on the string, does the Queen Mother want to go back on her word?"
With his blocking, the little maid quickly backed out.
"Let me go!" Su Qingyuan stomped her feet anxiously.
"Qin Jiao" covered her mouth, and smiled evilly: "Oh, it's already on the bedside, and you still have to die? So the Empress Dowager likes this tune?"
Su Qingyuan gritted her teeth, and kicked that guy's leg fiercely: "Duan Ran, you idiot! You missed a big deal!"
"Qin Jiao" froze for a moment, then slowly let go of his hand: "How do you say it?"
Su Qingyuan sat down on the edge of the bed, panting heavily anxiously: "The girl said just now, Aunt Nian is in the flower hall! Think about it, she wants to watch a good show, so she should come here to see it, why is she going to the flower hall The place is so chaotic, and Lu Li doesn't have many people around him—no, he's probably in danger!"
Duan Ran, pretending to be Qin Jiao, thought for a while, pinched his orchid fingers again, and smiled sweetly: "What am I doing, just for this? You can rest assured, Lu Li belongs to the fox, and others can't bite him!"
"You don't know Aunt Nian's method!" Su Qingyuan's face turned pale, and she couldn't help standing up again.
Duan Ran reached out and pressed her back, and said with a smile, "You are confused! The entourage and guards that Lu Li brought are all from us, and the 'Beiyan Mission' is still from us. What are you afraid of? You really think Lu Li is Porcelain, will it break when you touch it?"
Su Qingyuan thought for a while, still worried: "But Aunt Nian's witchcraft is powerful, and there are many things that I don't even understand... Moreover, now I am a little suspicious, she may have already known that Qin Jiao is not in the capital. Yes! If that's the case..."
Aunt Nian might be more comfortable with the trick of "follow the tricks"!
The more Su Qingyuan thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, and her heart "thumped" wildly.
Duan Ran pressed her shoulder and sat down beside her: "Don't worry, she doesn't know."
Su Qingyuan raised her head and looked at him suspiciously.
Duan Ran narrowed his eyes and smiled: "How about it, did you suddenly realize that I am much prettier than Lu Li? Why don't we just make a fake show today? To be honest, I have missed you for so many years, you won't Don’t you know? I want to marry Princess Hejing just because she looks a little like you, if you are willing to follow me..."
Su Qingyuan slapped him casually, and greeted him firmly on the face: "You are holding the face of the third prince of Beiyan, and you can barely catch your eyes. As for your true face—tch!"
Duan Ran was a little annoyed: "Hey, what did you eat just now, your mouth is so poisonous? No matter how ugly my Duan is, he is at least a hundred times stronger than that sissy, right?"
"'Sissy'? That's an interesting title! Someday I'll teach Princess Hejing this sentence from you." Su Qingyuan narrowed her eyes and smiled.
Duan Ran's face froze, and then he smiled again: "So, let's make a fake show! With you, I don't care about 'princess' or not 'princess'!"
After that, he bared his teeth, pretended to be ferocious, and made a gesture to pounce on Su Qingyuan.
At this time, Duan Ran immediately became serious with the sound of an arrow piercing through the air.
Su Qingyuan stood up and was busy going out.
Duan Ran hastily grabbed her back: "Stop! Lu Li has made very thorough arrangements. Except for the flower hall, only this pavilion will not be detonated in the entire inn. You go out now..."
Before the words fell, there was a loud bang outside, and even the ground under his feet trembled a few times.
Su Qingyuan bit her lip tightly, sat back on the edge of the bed and hugged her stomach.
Duan Ran squatted down nervously in front of her: "Hey, are you... all right?"
Before Su Qingyuan could answer, the sound of explosions had already rang out one after another.
"How much gunpowder did you bury in the posthouse?" Su Qingyuan asked tremblingly.
Duan Ran grinned: "There are always seventy or eighty barrels, right? There are in every house, there are two barrels under our pavilion, and there are also under the rockery - if Lu Li and the others evacuate in time, the flower hall will explode... "
Su Qingyuan couldn't bear it and stood up again.
Aunt Nian was in the Flower Hall before, and of course she would choose to stay with Lu Li or the "Beiyan Mission" after the explosion. In that case, what's the use of blowing up the entire post house?
It's a trivial matter not to hurt Aunt Nian, I'm afraid Lu Li will be plotted by the other party instead!
Duan Ran wanted to come over to stop him, Su Qingyuan stomped her feet anxiously: "We have to find Lu Li, it's pointless to blow up in such a mess!"
Duan Ran blocked the door with his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, there are still archers outside the post house. No one can get out alive today except our own people."
"Archer?" Su Qingyuan was a little dazed.
It's gunpowder and bow and arrow. Isn't this battle too big?
Duan Ran didn't seem interested in answering her questions.He just blocked the door, not allowing Su Qingyuan to go out.
The explosions continued.
Su Qingyuan walked to the window, and watched helplessly that the rockery that she passed through when she came here collapsed, large and small stones scattered in all directions, and some of them even hit the window lattice of this pavilion.
Because the distance was too far, Su Qingyuan didn't know if there was any movement in the flower hall.
There also seemed to be an explosion in that direction, a ball of fire rushed into the air, and soon burned blazingly.
Su Qingyuan couldn't wait any longer.
Taking advantage of Duan Ran's flash, she quickly walked around him and walked down the steps.
Duan Ran was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he hurriedly chased after him: "Big belly woman, are you crazy? You don't want to die, Lu Li still wants a son!"
Su Qingyuan wished she could fly down with her wings, but of course she didn't care about Duan Ran's yelling.
After going downstairs, when I stepped on the ground, the violent tremor became more obvious, and I almost couldn't even stand firmly.
Duan Ran finally caught up and grabbed Su Qingyuan's arm with difficulty: "I said, grandma, life and death are at stake, let's stop making trouble, shall we?"
Su Qingyuan couldn't hear what he was saying, and didn't intend to listen carefully.
She looked in the direction of the garden and walked over quickly.
The rockery had been blown up, and it might be impossible to go under it, but she could still choose to go around it—that was the only way she remembered, heading towards the flower hall.
The most important thing is that the rockery has already been blown up, so she doesn't have to worry about being blown up halfway.
Thinking of this, Su Qingyuan walked faster and faster.Although Duan Ran was reluctant, he already knew that he couldn't stop her, so he cheered up and supported her, and walked quickly towards the flower hall.
At this moment, the ground under his feet trembled violently.The two couldn't stand still, and they fell forward together.
Duan Ran yelled, tried his best to rush forward, and put himself under Su Qingyuan's body.
Rubble and stones flew all over the sky, and some of them hit Su Qingyuan's back, but she didn't feel very painful.
Because, the tremors under her feet and the bangs in her ears had already taken away all her attention.
Time seems to have become extraordinarily long.
Su Qingyuan felt her "bang", "bang" heartbeat, counted dozens of times, and finally gradually felt that the vibration of the ground eased up, and there was no sound of falling stones in her ears anymore.
She knelt down on the ground slowly, propped herself up on her knees, and slowly sat up on her knees.
Duan Ran quickly got up, grabbed her arm, and shook it vigorously.
There was a cloud of smoke and dust in front of her eyes, Su Qingyuan vaguely saw Duan Ran talking to her, but couldn't hear what he was saying.
There was only a sharp hissing sound in his ears, which made his brain ache.
Su Qingyuan knew that it was because of the loud explosion just now, so she didn't panic too much.
She held Duan Ran's hand, stood up slowly, and smiled at him, expressing that she was fine.
Seeing this, Duan Ran finally let go of his heart.
The two turned their heads to look at the pavilion just now, and gasped in unison.
At the end of the corridor, there is only a piece of broken tiles and bricks. Where is the shadow of the pavilion?
If the two hadn't gone downstairs just now...
Duan Ran turned around and looked at Su Qingyuan with a pale face: "We almost died."
Su Qingyuan still couldn't hear clearly, but she knew what Duan Ran was talking about.
She wanted to pull the corners of her lips, but found that her face was so stiff that she couldn't move.
The heart sank even more heavily.
The two stood there in a daze for a long while, and the explosion in the post house finally stopped completely, and the ground under their feet completely recovered.
The ringing in her ears gradually decreased, and Su Qingyuan could faintly hear some distant echoes, which became lower and lower, and finally fell silent.
The choking smoke still filled the air, and both of them were ashamed, but neither of them was in the mood to laugh at the other this time.
Duan Ran tugged at Su Qingyuan's sleeve: "Let's go find Lu Li."
Su Qingyuan followed him and took two steps, then stood still.
Duan Ran was terrified: "What's wrong? Don't scare me! Did you hit something? If you get hurt, Lu Li will tear me apart!"
Su Qingyuan shook her head slowly.
Duan Ran was at a loss, and turned around twice in a hurry: "No injury? What's the matter? Are you scared? My legs are weak and I can't walk? To be honest, my legs are also a little weak. Besides, I don't dare to carry you away. !"
Su Qingyuan sat down leaning against the rockery, and said in a trembling voice after a long time: "You go to him, I dare not go."
Duan Ran immediately vetoed it: "No, I can't let you place an order! Lu Li has guards by his side, so he will be fine!"
Su Qingyuan raised her hand and pinched her cheeks on both sides, trying to force a smile: "I'm not worried about him at all, really."
Duan Ran gave her a sideways look with contempt.
Su Qingyuan lowered her head and clenched her sleeves tightly.
After sitting for an unknown amount of time, the two faintly heard shouts of killing.
Duan Ran was a little worried, and wanted to see what happened, but she was worried about Su Qingyuan, so she had to sit here patiently with her.
He didn't understand: this woman was clamoring to find Lu Li just now, but now she was surprisingly quiet. Could it be that she was scared to death?
Of course Su Qingyuan wasn't frightened, she was just frightened.
She didn't dare to see what was going on in the flower hall.
She was afraid to see that flower hall also turned into a pile of ruins, and even more afraid to see it standing intact.
A terrible guess weighed on her heart, making her breathless.
However, she dared not say it.
The two of them sat on the rockery for half an hour, and the sound of shouting and killing in the distance gradually stopped.
It was eerily quiet around.
Duan Ran stood up: "It's time to end, let's go out."
Su Qingyuan broke free from his hand, raised her head and looked at him: "Are you sure you're going out now, aren't you going to die?"
Duan Ran let out a "hey" laugh: "It's Lu Li who sits in charge over there! You don't have confidence in your man? The post house was blown up like this, Beiyan warriors have already died, and the few remaining The fish that slipped through the net is not enough for the archers. What are you afraid of? Unless your Aunt Nian brings in the rebels from outside the city, even if she has supernatural powers, she will not be able to turn the situation around! Now that we've killed the 'big fish' and got rid of Beiyan warrior, we two 'bait' have done a great job, hurry up and go to Lu Li to receive the reward!"
Su Qingyuan looked at him with a blank expression on her face: "You gossip so much, is it because you are also afraid in your heart? I heard your voice tremble."
Duan Ran was stunned for a moment, shook his head vigorously, and forced a smile: "Strange, I am a good brother of the current emperor, what am I afraid of?"
Su Qingyuan turned her head to look at the pile of rubble in the distance, and asked in a harsh voice: "Your people are in charge of those explosives, right? Your people know that you and I are in that pavilion, right?"
"Maybe they saw us coming out..." Duan Ran forced a smile, but even he didn't believe what he said.
He was sure that the news had been delivered to Xiaoluzi.That tower shouldn't be blown up anyway.
He knew what Su Qingyuan was afraid of, but he didn't dare to say it.
Su Qingyuan lay down on the rockery, closed her eyes and smiled, "The matter should have been resolved by now, right? I'm waiting for Lu Li to pick me up—why hasn't he come yet?"
Duan Ran stood there blankly for a while, and forced a smile: "Don't think about the worst, maybe... Maybe he just broke his leg and couldn't come?"
Su Qingyuan smiled with a "chi" and stood up: "Let's go out."
Duan Ran hurried over to hold her hand.
Su Qingyuan walked very slowly, step by step steadily.
Turn around the rockery, cross the path, and finally arrive at the front of the original flower hall.
The flower hall is intact.
Under Su Qingyuan's insistence, the two went in and turned around, but they found nothing.
There were no living people inside, only a few corpses laying upside down—a warrior from Beiyan, and a girl dressed as a maidservant, but it was impossible to tell who they were at the moment.
The two walked out along the narrow path, only to see rubble and rubble everywhere, and some corpses that could no longer be put together.
The smoke and dust in the air are still not cleared, and even the sun is gray.
The scene in hell is nothing more than this, right?
——Su Qingyuan thought so.
After walking out of the second door, Su Qingyuan let out a long breath of relief.
Although there are still dead bodies everywhere as far as the eye can see, at least the corpses here are complete.
People here died under sharp arrows.
Almost all the dead were Beiyan warriors, and it was extremely difficult to find the bodies of the South Vietnamese guards and "Northern Yan envoys".
So, Lu Li should have won a complete victory, right?
Duan Ran helped Su Qingyuan walk through the door, but did not find a living person.
So the two walked out from under the dilapidated gatehouse, slowly moving their steps outward.
After walking for a long time, I finally saw a little girl, she looked like a South Vietnamese girl, she must be a maid brought by a vassal state.
Duan Ran hurriedly asked her where Lu Li and the others were going.
The little girl was stunned for a long time before she said cautiously: "The emperor got up and drove back to the palace half an hour ago - why don't you two know?"
"Go back to the palace?" Su Qingyuan smiled wryly.
Duan Ran stood there for a while, then reluctantly comforted him: "Don't think too much, maybe he has something urgent..."
Su Qingyuan didn't speak, Duan Ran couldn't speak anymore.
The two stood at the door for a long time, Su Qingyuan finally sighed shyly: "Take me back to the palace."
Apart from returning to the palace, she really had no other way to go.
Duan Ran found the residence of a vassal envoy and asked for a carriage, and helped Su Qingyuan sit on it.
The images of both of them are very embarrassed, with their heads drooping, like two bereaved dogs.
The two had known each other for many years, and they always quarreled when they met, but today was the first time that neither of them laughed at the other.
Returning to the palace went smoothly, and no one dared to stop her.
It's just that when seeing Duan Ran's image, Qi Qi, the guard guarding the gate, showed surprise.
Su Qingyuan carefully watched everyone's reactions through the curtain, and her heart became more and more uncomfortable.
When he reached the gate of Fanghua Palace, Duan Ran turned around and left without saying a word.
Su Qingyuan entered the door by herself, and as expected, there was an exclamation.
Danyue came up with Tongyun and a few little girls, her face turned pale with fright: "Why did your empress come back by herself? Why... how did it happen?"
Su Qingyuan said in a deep voice: "Help me boil water for a bath, don't ask any questions."
Everyone hurriedly surrounded her and entered the door, helped her remove the hairpin ring, and took off the dirty phoenix robe, everyone was surprised and uncertain.
It wasn't until the hot water was ready and Su Qingyuan lay down in the bathtub that Danyue boldly asked: "Didn't your empress go to the posthouse with the emperor? How could it be... why didn't Luoxia come back with her?"
Tongyun and the others were always taught by Luoxia, and now they were so anxious that they almost cried: "Is the empress in danger outside? Elder sister Luoxia... can she come back?"
Before the words finished, Luoxia rushed in from the outside: "Is your empress back?"
Tong Yun and a few little girls wept with joy, even Dan Yue followed, holding Luo Xia's hand and asking questions.
Su Qingyuan slowly scrubbed and washed her dusty hair, curling her lips into a sneer.
Luoxia dismissed the little girls with a few words, and walked over quickly, took the saponins and smoothed Su Qingyuan's hair: "What's wrong with your mother—how did you make it like this?"
Su Qingyuan leaned comfortably on the edge of the bucket, closed her eyes: "How long have you been back?"
Luo Xia hurriedly said: "The servant has been following the emperor, and has come back a long time ago."
Danyue rushed over: "You came back a long time ago, why did your empress come back just now? You are glamorous and unscathed, why did your empress look like a dried loach, but you don't know anything?"
Luoxia was speechless, so she could only bow her head and explain to Su Qingyuan: "The slaves have been following the emperor. After returning to the palace, the emperor has something to tell us, so it took some time..."
"Is he okay?" Su Qingyuan still kept her eyes closed, her tone calm.
Luoxia's eyes flickered for a moment, and she said with a smile, "It's okay. It's just that there are many miscellaneous things at the moment, and I'm afraid I won't have time to come to our place for a while."
Su Qingyuan replied with a "huh", she didn't seem to care about it.
Luoxia breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed again: "This time the battle was quite serious. Those Beiyan warriors wanted to make trouble at first, but once our explosives went off, they all became honest!"
Su Qingyuan closed her eyes and remained silent.It wasn't until Luoxia helped her wash her hair that she sat up slowly: "Have you caught Aunt Nian?"
Luoxia smiled and said, "We didn't expect her to hide in the flower hall, and we almost let her run away at first! Fortunately, the archers intercepted her, otherwise, wouldn't it be a pity for all our efforts!"
"Dead?" Su Qingyuan finally opened her eyes.
Luoxia nodded, and smiled cautiously: "Dead. The servant saw it with her own eyes, and there are several arrows stuck in her chest!"
Su Qingyuan felt sour in her heart, and the circles of her eyes turned red.
Luoxia hurriedly supported her hand: "Mother, don't be sad, she... she treats you like that, the relationship between mother and daughter is already gone..."
"Where's the corpse?" Su Qingyuan asked.
Luoxia said carefully: "The emperor ordered the guards to collect it."
Su Qingyuan let out a long breath of relief, but her heart became more and more sore.
Luoxia helped her out and sat by the stove, carefully brushing her hair: "I didn't discuss with the empress about the burying of the explosives this time, the emperor was worried, and was always worried that the empress would be frightened——now that the empress is back safely, The emperor can finally rest assured."
Su Qingyuan suddenly raised her head.
Luoxia paused, and quickly smiled: "What's wrong with your mother?"
Su Qingyuan looked into her eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Apart from explosives, do you have nothing else to hide from me?"
Luoxia hesitated for a moment, and finally smiled and said: "Yes, there is. It's not intentional to hide it from you, but some things are too troublesome to explain. The emperor is afraid that you will worry, so he just doesn't say anything."
"It's okay to talk about it." Su Qingyuan said lightly.
Luo Xia hurriedly laughed and said: "Now that the matter has passed, it shouldn't hurt to tell you—in fact, Jiaoer, Beiyan's maidservant who often came to the palace to look for Princess Hejing, was already bribed by us early in the morning. Knowing the conspiracy between Aunt Nian and the third prince of Beiyan, when the third prince of Beiyan left Beijing, it was considered that the emperor deliberately released him."
Su Qingyuan pondered for a long time: "I don't quite understand."
Luoxia pursed the corners of her lips: "What the emperor means is that sooner or later, we and Beiyan will fight each other. Instead of waiting for the war to resume after the four seas are settled in the future, it is better to clean up together now. Anyway, they are more than 3000 miles away from us. , by the time their army overwhelms the border, we have already cleaned up the rebels, and we will not be afraid to meet them at that time..."
Luoxia explained very carefully, but Su Qingyuan didn't take it too seriously.
What she cared about was another matter: "Jiao'er didn't tell Aunt Nian about the third prince's departure from Beijing, did she?"
"Of course not." Luoxia was very sure.
Su Qingyuan nodded.
Since Aunt Nian didn't know that Qin Jiao had left the capital, the accidents in the post house should not be caused by Aunt Nian.
After ruling out this possibility, Su Qingyuan is one step closer to that terrible guess.
She thought about it for a long time, but in the end she didn't express the question in her heart, but changed the question temporarily: "With Jiaoer, Lu Li should know more about Aunt Nian's affairs? Why didn't he take her for so long?"
Luoxia hesitated for a moment, and smiled a bit reluctantly: "Actually, I don't really understand it very well. Aunt Nian is cunning and suspicious, and she and the third prince of Beiyan are only in a cooperative relationship. There are many things she won't say by herself."
This explanation makes perfect sense.Su Qingyuan thought about it carefully for a long time, but couldn't find anything to refute.
In fact, so what if a flaw can be found?After all, she still didn't want to pierce the window paper.
After briefly going through the events of this period, Su Qingyuan closed her eyes again: "I'm a little tired."
Luoxia smiled and said, "Your Majesty, wait a moment, you can only sleep when your hair is dry. Now that the serious heart disease is gone, Your Majesty can sleep peacefully from now on."
"Really?" Su Qingyuan curled her lips disapprovingly.
There was a look of worry hidden in Luoxia's eyes, but Su Qingyuan didn't notice it.
She just sat quietly, cooperating with Luoxia's movement of wiping her hair, shaking it.
After sitting for an unknown amount of time, Luoxia put the cloth towel aside and smiled: "It's almost done. Do you want to rest now, or have some refreshments?"
Su Qingyuan stood up, walked to the bed and sat down, and asked casually, "Where is Princess Hejing now?"
Luo Xia smiled and said, "Of course she still lives in the palace. The empress Xian is careful, she will always be with her, so the empress doesn't have to worry."
"Concubine Xian..." Su Qingyuan frowned and thought for a long time.
Luoxia was a little puzzled, and just as she was about to ask, Su Qingyuan smiled again: "Forget it, since Concubine Xian is here, she shouldn't be thinking wildly. Now that the third prince Beiyan has fled back, the warriors told us to kill him again. The princess must be in a bad mood. If you have time, remember to remind Lu Li to help Duan Ran get married as soon as possible!"
Luo Xia agreed with a smile, and carefully tucked the quilt for her.
Su Qingyuan closed her eyes, but her heart felt tense again.
Luoxia agreed to pass this sentence on her behalf, which meant that Lu Li would not come to Fanghua Palace in the near future.
It would be better if he didn't come.
In this situation, if he comes, she really doesn't know how to deal with it!
(End of this chapter)
One day later, after the court was over, Su Qingyuan and Lu Li rode together in a luan chariot, brought a guard of honor, went out of the palace gate with a lot of bragging, and went straight to the Beiyan Posthouse.
In the post house, Beiyan warriors greeted each other with drums and music, and a woman in a tight dance dress was introduced into the courtyard. The envoys bowed to greet them.
The "Northern Swallow Envoys" stood up in turn to toast Lu Li, and they were very courteous, saying things like "good friends from generation to generation" and "benefit to all people".
Lu Li did not refuse anyone who came, but after a long time he became a little drunk and started talking nonsense.
"The emperor is probably drunk, Xiao Luzi quickly stopped him, and he was not allowed to drink any more." Su Qingyuan ordered with a frown.
"Qin Jiao, the third prince of Beiyan" got up and said with a smile, "If you don't get drunk, you have let down the fine wine feast? Empress Dowager, don't worry, the Beiyan Post House is also the emperor's own home, so are you afraid that no one will take care of you if you are drunk?"
Seeing this, Su Qingyuan stopped meddling, and gradually focused on singing and dancing.
The banquet continued to be filled with wine and wine, and another half an hour later, the envoys of Beiyan were also drunk and disoriented, and they were in a bad shape.
A few little girls came in one after another outside the door, and delivered two jugs of wine to each table, and then stood by and waited on them without retreating.
Su Qingyuan noticed the gait and standing posture of those little girls, and she knew it in her heart.
Sure enough, not long after, a girl quietly came to her side: "Although the silk and bamboo in the palace are good, listening to them for a long time will inevitably make people irritated. How about slaves serving the Empress Dowager to go out and be quiet for a while?"
Su Qingyuan helped the teacup beside the armrest: "Ai's family has never drunk, so you are still afraid that Ai's family will not be drunk?"
"On a good day, if you don't get drunk with wine, everyone gets drunk." The little girl pursed her lips and smiled, looking very delicate and cute, but her eyes were a little dull.
Su Qingyuan winked at "Qin Jiao", and stood up with a smile: "I never thought that the girl in Beiyan Posthouse would be so smart——You are Ai Jiayi!"
"Qin Jiao" smiled and raised the wine cup in his hand to her.
Lu Li, who was already drunk by the table, tensed up, pretending to be carrying a pot to pour wine, and quietly kicked Xiaoluzi under the table.
Su Qingyuan followed the little girl out, passed through the rockery in the garden, and entered a hidden pavilion.
The little girl supported Su Qingyuan and turned the screen directly, and sat down on the bed in the inner room: "It's still early, the queen mother might as well rest here first."
Su Qingyuan had already looked at the pavilion carefully when she came.After making sure there was no one else around, she grabbed the girl's hand and asked with a smile, "Where is your master?"
"Your Highness will be here soon." The little girl smiled.
Su Qingyuan patted the back of her hand heavily: "Don't do this with me, I can tell you are from the palace just by the way you walk! Let me ask you, how did you get out of the palace gate? , How did you sneak into the post? Where is Aunt Nian?"
The little palace maid quickly knelt down and said in a low voice: "This servant came out of the tunnel yesterday following the order of Aunt Nian. There was someone in the post house to meet us, so we came in without any trouble."
"Who is meeting you? Does the third prince know about it? One of you is in the palace and the other is in the post house. It shouldn't be convenient for you to contact me?" Su Qingyuan continued to ask.
The little maid smiled and said: "Although the third prince does not often enter the palace, there are always people around him who often enter the palace. The empress dowager can rest assured that everything will be safe with Auntie's arrangement."
"Often in the palace? Are you talking about the girl next to Princess Hejing?" Su Qingyuan was startled.
The little maid froze for a moment, then nodded.
Su Qingyuan's face was ugly.
Jiaoer is not Princess Hejing's personal maid, but a female official beside Qin Jiao.During the time when Princess Hejing lived in the palace, this girl would go back and forth between the palace city and the post house every two or three days.If she was passing the news in the middle, how could Aunt Nian not know that Qin Jiao had left Beijing secretly?
Su Qingyuan quickly drew a few strokes on the little maid's wrist, raised her head and said with a smile, "You haven't answered my most important question - where is Auntie Nian?"
The little maid blinked her eyes and said in a daze, "It's in the flower hall just now."
"What is she doing there?!" Su Qingyuan was shocked and couldn't help standing up.
Just as the little maid was about to reply, there were already hurried footsteps outside, and it was the "Third Prince Qin Jiao of Northern Yan" who came in.
"Go down." He ordered the little maid as soon as he entered the door.
"Wait a minute!" Su Qingyuan was anxious.
"Qin Jiao" grabbed her wrist, pulled her into his arms, and laughed softly: "What are you calling her for? The arrow is on the string, does the Queen Mother want to go back on her word?"
With his blocking, the little maid quickly backed out.
"Let me go!" Su Qingyuan stomped her feet anxiously.
"Qin Jiao" covered her mouth, and smiled evilly: "Oh, it's already on the bedside, and you still have to die? So the Empress Dowager likes this tune?"
Su Qingyuan gritted her teeth, and kicked that guy's leg fiercely: "Duan Ran, you idiot! You missed a big deal!"
"Qin Jiao" froze for a moment, then slowly let go of his hand: "How do you say it?"
Su Qingyuan sat down on the edge of the bed, panting heavily anxiously: "The girl said just now, Aunt Nian is in the flower hall! Think about it, she wants to watch a good show, so she should come here to see it, why is she going to the flower hall The place is so chaotic, and Lu Li doesn't have many people around him—no, he's probably in danger!"
Duan Ran, pretending to be Qin Jiao, thought for a while, pinched his orchid fingers again, and smiled sweetly: "What am I doing, just for this? You can rest assured, Lu Li belongs to the fox, and others can't bite him!"
"You don't know Aunt Nian's method!" Su Qingyuan's face turned pale, and she couldn't help standing up again.
Duan Ran reached out and pressed her back, and said with a smile, "You are confused! The entourage and guards that Lu Li brought are all from us, and the 'Beiyan Mission' is still from us. What are you afraid of? You really think Lu Li is Porcelain, will it break when you touch it?"
Su Qingyuan thought for a while, still worried: "But Aunt Nian's witchcraft is powerful, and there are many things that I don't even understand... Moreover, now I am a little suspicious, she may have already known that Qin Jiao is not in the capital. Yes! If that's the case..."
Aunt Nian might be more comfortable with the trick of "follow the tricks"!
The more Su Qingyuan thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, and her heart "thumped" wildly.
Duan Ran pressed her shoulder and sat down beside her: "Don't worry, she doesn't know."
Su Qingyuan raised her head and looked at him suspiciously.
Duan Ran narrowed his eyes and smiled: "How about it, did you suddenly realize that I am much prettier than Lu Li? Why don't we just make a fake show today? To be honest, I have missed you for so many years, you won't Don’t you know? I want to marry Princess Hejing just because she looks a little like you, if you are willing to follow me..."
Su Qingyuan slapped him casually, and greeted him firmly on the face: "You are holding the face of the third prince of Beiyan, and you can barely catch your eyes. As for your true face—tch!"
Duan Ran was a little annoyed: "Hey, what did you eat just now, your mouth is so poisonous? No matter how ugly my Duan is, he is at least a hundred times stronger than that sissy, right?"
"'Sissy'? That's an interesting title! Someday I'll teach Princess Hejing this sentence from you." Su Qingyuan narrowed her eyes and smiled.
Duan Ran's face froze, and then he smiled again: "So, let's make a fake show! With you, I don't care about 'princess' or not 'princess'!"
After that, he bared his teeth, pretended to be ferocious, and made a gesture to pounce on Su Qingyuan.
At this time, Duan Ran immediately became serious with the sound of an arrow piercing through the air.
Su Qingyuan stood up and was busy going out.
Duan Ran hastily grabbed her back: "Stop! Lu Li has made very thorough arrangements. Except for the flower hall, only this pavilion will not be detonated in the entire inn. You go out now..."
Before the words fell, there was a loud bang outside, and even the ground under his feet trembled a few times.
Su Qingyuan bit her lip tightly, sat back on the edge of the bed and hugged her stomach.
Duan Ran squatted down nervously in front of her: "Hey, are you... all right?"
Before Su Qingyuan could answer, the sound of explosions had already rang out one after another.
"How much gunpowder did you bury in the posthouse?" Su Qingyuan asked tremblingly.
Duan Ran grinned: "There are always seventy or eighty barrels, right? There are in every house, there are two barrels under our pavilion, and there are also under the rockery - if Lu Li and the others evacuate in time, the flower hall will explode... "
Su Qingyuan couldn't bear it and stood up again.
Aunt Nian was in the Flower Hall before, and of course she would choose to stay with Lu Li or the "Beiyan Mission" after the explosion. In that case, what's the use of blowing up the entire post house?
It's a trivial matter not to hurt Aunt Nian, I'm afraid Lu Li will be plotted by the other party instead!
Duan Ran wanted to come over to stop him, Su Qingyuan stomped her feet anxiously: "We have to find Lu Li, it's pointless to blow up in such a mess!"
Duan Ran blocked the door with his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, there are still archers outside the post house. No one can get out alive today except our own people."
"Archer?" Su Qingyuan was a little dazed.
It's gunpowder and bow and arrow. Isn't this battle too big?
Duan Ran didn't seem interested in answering her questions.He just blocked the door, not allowing Su Qingyuan to go out.
The explosions continued.
Su Qingyuan walked to the window, and watched helplessly that the rockery that she passed through when she came here collapsed, large and small stones scattered in all directions, and some of them even hit the window lattice of this pavilion.
Because the distance was too far, Su Qingyuan didn't know if there was any movement in the flower hall.
There also seemed to be an explosion in that direction, a ball of fire rushed into the air, and soon burned blazingly.
Su Qingyuan couldn't wait any longer.
Taking advantage of Duan Ran's flash, she quickly walked around him and walked down the steps.
Duan Ran was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he hurriedly chased after him: "Big belly woman, are you crazy? You don't want to die, Lu Li still wants a son!"
Su Qingyuan wished she could fly down with her wings, but of course she didn't care about Duan Ran's yelling.
After going downstairs, when I stepped on the ground, the violent tremor became more obvious, and I almost couldn't even stand firmly.
Duan Ran finally caught up and grabbed Su Qingyuan's arm with difficulty: "I said, grandma, life and death are at stake, let's stop making trouble, shall we?"
Su Qingyuan couldn't hear what he was saying, and didn't intend to listen carefully.
She looked in the direction of the garden and walked over quickly.
The rockery had been blown up, and it might be impossible to go under it, but she could still choose to go around it—that was the only way she remembered, heading towards the flower hall.
The most important thing is that the rockery has already been blown up, so she doesn't have to worry about being blown up halfway.
Thinking of this, Su Qingyuan walked faster and faster.Although Duan Ran was reluctant, he already knew that he couldn't stop her, so he cheered up and supported her, and walked quickly towards the flower hall.
At this moment, the ground under his feet trembled violently.The two couldn't stand still, and they fell forward together.
Duan Ran yelled, tried his best to rush forward, and put himself under Su Qingyuan's body.
Rubble and stones flew all over the sky, and some of them hit Su Qingyuan's back, but she didn't feel very painful.
Because, the tremors under her feet and the bangs in her ears had already taken away all her attention.
Time seems to have become extraordinarily long.
Su Qingyuan felt her "bang", "bang" heartbeat, counted dozens of times, and finally gradually felt that the vibration of the ground eased up, and there was no sound of falling stones in her ears anymore.
She knelt down on the ground slowly, propped herself up on her knees, and slowly sat up on her knees.
Duan Ran quickly got up, grabbed her arm, and shook it vigorously.
There was a cloud of smoke and dust in front of her eyes, Su Qingyuan vaguely saw Duan Ran talking to her, but couldn't hear what he was saying.
There was only a sharp hissing sound in his ears, which made his brain ache.
Su Qingyuan knew that it was because of the loud explosion just now, so she didn't panic too much.
She held Duan Ran's hand, stood up slowly, and smiled at him, expressing that she was fine.
Seeing this, Duan Ran finally let go of his heart.
The two turned their heads to look at the pavilion just now, and gasped in unison.
At the end of the corridor, there is only a piece of broken tiles and bricks. Where is the shadow of the pavilion?
If the two hadn't gone downstairs just now...
Duan Ran turned around and looked at Su Qingyuan with a pale face: "We almost died."
Su Qingyuan still couldn't hear clearly, but she knew what Duan Ran was talking about.
She wanted to pull the corners of her lips, but found that her face was so stiff that she couldn't move.
The heart sank even more heavily.
The two stood there in a daze for a long while, and the explosion in the post house finally stopped completely, and the ground under their feet completely recovered.
The ringing in her ears gradually decreased, and Su Qingyuan could faintly hear some distant echoes, which became lower and lower, and finally fell silent.
The choking smoke still filled the air, and both of them were ashamed, but neither of them was in the mood to laugh at the other this time.
Duan Ran tugged at Su Qingyuan's sleeve: "Let's go find Lu Li."
Su Qingyuan followed him and took two steps, then stood still.
Duan Ran was terrified: "What's wrong? Don't scare me! Did you hit something? If you get hurt, Lu Li will tear me apart!"
Su Qingyuan shook her head slowly.
Duan Ran was at a loss, and turned around twice in a hurry: "No injury? What's the matter? Are you scared? My legs are weak and I can't walk? To be honest, my legs are also a little weak. Besides, I don't dare to carry you away. !"
Su Qingyuan sat down leaning against the rockery, and said in a trembling voice after a long time: "You go to him, I dare not go."
Duan Ran immediately vetoed it: "No, I can't let you place an order! Lu Li has guards by his side, so he will be fine!"
Su Qingyuan raised her hand and pinched her cheeks on both sides, trying to force a smile: "I'm not worried about him at all, really."
Duan Ran gave her a sideways look with contempt.
Su Qingyuan lowered her head and clenched her sleeves tightly.
After sitting for an unknown amount of time, the two faintly heard shouts of killing.
Duan Ran was a little worried, and wanted to see what happened, but she was worried about Su Qingyuan, so she had to sit here patiently with her.
He didn't understand: this woman was clamoring to find Lu Li just now, but now she was surprisingly quiet. Could it be that she was scared to death?
Of course Su Qingyuan wasn't frightened, she was just frightened.
She didn't dare to see what was going on in the flower hall.
She was afraid to see that flower hall also turned into a pile of ruins, and even more afraid to see it standing intact.
A terrible guess weighed on her heart, making her breathless.
However, she dared not say it.
The two of them sat on the rockery for half an hour, and the sound of shouting and killing in the distance gradually stopped.
It was eerily quiet around.
Duan Ran stood up: "It's time to end, let's go out."
Su Qingyuan broke free from his hand, raised her head and looked at him: "Are you sure you're going out now, aren't you going to die?"
Duan Ran let out a "hey" laugh: "It's Lu Li who sits in charge over there! You don't have confidence in your man? The post house was blown up like this, Beiyan warriors have already died, and the few remaining The fish that slipped through the net is not enough for the archers. What are you afraid of? Unless your Aunt Nian brings in the rebels from outside the city, even if she has supernatural powers, she will not be able to turn the situation around! Now that we've killed the 'big fish' and got rid of Beiyan warrior, we two 'bait' have done a great job, hurry up and go to Lu Li to receive the reward!"
Su Qingyuan looked at him with a blank expression on her face: "You gossip so much, is it because you are also afraid in your heart? I heard your voice tremble."
Duan Ran was stunned for a moment, shook his head vigorously, and forced a smile: "Strange, I am a good brother of the current emperor, what am I afraid of?"
Su Qingyuan turned her head to look at the pile of rubble in the distance, and asked in a harsh voice: "Your people are in charge of those explosives, right? Your people know that you and I are in that pavilion, right?"
"Maybe they saw us coming out..." Duan Ran forced a smile, but even he didn't believe what he said.
He was sure that the news had been delivered to Xiaoluzi.That tower shouldn't be blown up anyway.
He knew what Su Qingyuan was afraid of, but he didn't dare to say it.
Su Qingyuan lay down on the rockery, closed her eyes and smiled, "The matter should have been resolved by now, right? I'm waiting for Lu Li to pick me up—why hasn't he come yet?"
Duan Ran stood there blankly for a while, and forced a smile: "Don't think about the worst, maybe... Maybe he just broke his leg and couldn't come?"
Su Qingyuan smiled with a "chi" and stood up: "Let's go out."
Duan Ran hurried over to hold her hand.
Su Qingyuan walked very slowly, step by step steadily.
Turn around the rockery, cross the path, and finally arrive at the front of the original flower hall.
The flower hall is intact.
Under Su Qingyuan's insistence, the two went in and turned around, but they found nothing.
There were no living people inside, only a few corpses laying upside down—a warrior from Beiyan, and a girl dressed as a maidservant, but it was impossible to tell who they were at the moment.
The two walked out along the narrow path, only to see rubble and rubble everywhere, and some corpses that could no longer be put together.
The smoke and dust in the air are still not cleared, and even the sun is gray.
The scene in hell is nothing more than this, right?
——Su Qingyuan thought so.
After walking out of the second door, Su Qingyuan let out a long breath of relief.
Although there are still dead bodies everywhere as far as the eye can see, at least the corpses here are complete.
People here died under sharp arrows.
Almost all the dead were Beiyan warriors, and it was extremely difficult to find the bodies of the South Vietnamese guards and "Northern Yan envoys".
So, Lu Li should have won a complete victory, right?
Duan Ran helped Su Qingyuan walk through the door, but did not find a living person.
So the two walked out from under the dilapidated gatehouse, slowly moving their steps outward.
After walking for a long time, I finally saw a little girl, she looked like a South Vietnamese girl, she must be a maid brought by a vassal state.
Duan Ran hurriedly asked her where Lu Li and the others were going.
The little girl was stunned for a long time before she said cautiously: "The emperor got up and drove back to the palace half an hour ago - why don't you two know?"
"Go back to the palace?" Su Qingyuan smiled wryly.
Duan Ran stood there for a while, then reluctantly comforted him: "Don't think too much, maybe he has something urgent..."
Su Qingyuan didn't speak, Duan Ran couldn't speak anymore.
The two stood at the door for a long time, Su Qingyuan finally sighed shyly: "Take me back to the palace."
Apart from returning to the palace, she really had no other way to go.
Duan Ran found the residence of a vassal envoy and asked for a carriage, and helped Su Qingyuan sit on it.
The images of both of them are very embarrassed, with their heads drooping, like two bereaved dogs.
The two had known each other for many years, and they always quarreled when they met, but today was the first time that neither of them laughed at the other.
Returning to the palace went smoothly, and no one dared to stop her.
It's just that when seeing Duan Ran's image, Qi Qi, the guard guarding the gate, showed surprise.
Su Qingyuan carefully watched everyone's reactions through the curtain, and her heart became more and more uncomfortable.
When he reached the gate of Fanghua Palace, Duan Ran turned around and left without saying a word.
Su Qingyuan entered the door by herself, and as expected, there was an exclamation.
Danyue came up with Tongyun and a few little girls, her face turned pale with fright: "Why did your empress come back by herself? Why... how did it happen?"
Su Qingyuan said in a deep voice: "Help me boil water for a bath, don't ask any questions."
Everyone hurriedly surrounded her and entered the door, helped her remove the hairpin ring, and took off the dirty phoenix robe, everyone was surprised and uncertain.
It wasn't until the hot water was ready and Su Qingyuan lay down in the bathtub that Danyue boldly asked: "Didn't your empress go to the posthouse with the emperor? How could it be... why didn't Luoxia come back with her?"
Tongyun and the others were always taught by Luoxia, and now they were so anxious that they almost cried: "Is the empress in danger outside? Elder sister Luoxia... can she come back?"
Before the words finished, Luoxia rushed in from the outside: "Is your empress back?"
Tong Yun and a few little girls wept with joy, even Dan Yue followed, holding Luo Xia's hand and asking questions.
Su Qingyuan slowly scrubbed and washed her dusty hair, curling her lips into a sneer.
Luoxia dismissed the little girls with a few words, and walked over quickly, took the saponins and smoothed Su Qingyuan's hair: "What's wrong with your mother—how did you make it like this?"
Su Qingyuan leaned comfortably on the edge of the bucket, closed her eyes: "How long have you been back?"
Luo Xia hurriedly said: "The servant has been following the emperor, and has come back a long time ago."
Danyue rushed over: "You came back a long time ago, why did your empress come back just now? You are glamorous and unscathed, why did your empress look like a dried loach, but you don't know anything?"
Luoxia was speechless, so she could only bow her head and explain to Su Qingyuan: "The slaves have been following the emperor. After returning to the palace, the emperor has something to tell us, so it took some time..."
"Is he okay?" Su Qingyuan still kept her eyes closed, her tone calm.
Luoxia's eyes flickered for a moment, and she said with a smile, "It's okay. It's just that there are many miscellaneous things at the moment, and I'm afraid I won't have time to come to our place for a while."
Su Qingyuan replied with a "huh", she didn't seem to care about it.
Luoxia breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed again: "This time the battle was quite serious. Those Beiyan warriors wanted to make trouble at first, but once our explosives went off, they all became honest!"
Su Qingyuan closed her eyes and remained silent.It wasn't until Luoxia helped her wash her hair that she sat up slowly: "Have you caught Aunt Nian?"
Luoxia smiled and said, "We didn't expect her to hide in the flower hall, and we almost let her run away at first! Fortunately, the archers intercepted her, otherwise, wouldn't it be a pity for all our efforts!"
"Dead?" Su Qingyuan finally opened her eyes.
Luoxia nodded, and smiled cautiously: "Dead. The servant saw it with her own eyes, and there are several arrows stuck in her chest!"
Su Qingyuan felt sour in her heart, and the circles of her eyes turned red.
Luoxia hurriedly supported her hand: "Mother, don't be sad, she... she treats you like that, the relationship between mother and daughter is already gone..."
"Where's the corpse?" Su Qingyuan asked.
Luoxia said carefully: "The emperor ordered the guards to collect it."
Su Qingyuan let out a long breath of relief, but her heart became more and more sore.
Luoxia helped her out and sat by the stove, carefully brushing her hair: "I didn't discuss with the empress about the burying of the explosives this time, the emperor was worried, and was always worried that the empress would be frightened——now that the empress is back safely, The emperor can finally rest assured."
Su Qingyuan suddenly raised her head.
Luoxia paused, and quickly smiled: "What's wrong with your mother?"
Su Qingyuan looked into her eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Apart from explosives, do you have nothing else to hide from me?"
Luoxia hesitated for a moment, and finally smiled and said: "Yes, there is. It's not intentional to hide it from you, but some things are too troublesome to explain. The emperor is afraid that you will worry, so he just doesn't say anything."
"It's okay to talk about it." Su Qingyuan said lightly.
Luo Xia hurriedly laughed and said: "Now that the matter has passed, it shouldn't hurt to tell you—in fact, Jiaoer, Beiyan's maidservant who often came to the palace to look for Princess Hejing, was already bribed by us early in the morning. Knowing the conspiracy between Aunt Nian and the third prince of Beiyan, when the third prince of Beiyan left Beijing, it was considered that the emperor deliberately released him."
Su Qingyuan pondered for a long time: "I don't quite understand."
Luoxia pursed the corners of her lips: "What the emperor means is that sooner or later, we and Beiyan will fight each other. Instead of waiting for the war to resume after the four seas are settled in the future, it is better to clean up together now. Anyway, they are more than 3000 miles away from us. , by the time their army overwhelms the border, we have already cleaned up the rebels, and we will not be afraid to meet them at that time..."
Luoxia explained very carefully, but Su Qingyuan didn't take it too seriously.
What she cared about was another matter: "Jiao'er didn't tell Aunt Nian about the third prince's departure from Beijing, did she?"
"Of course not." Luoxia was very sure.
Su Qingyuan nodded.
Since Aunt Nian didn't know that Qin Jiao had left the capital, the accidents in the post house should not be caused by Aunt Nian.
After ruling out this possibility, Su Qingyuan is one step closer to that terrible guess.
She thought about it for a long time, but in the end she didn't express the question in her heart, but changed the question temporarily: "With Jiaoer, Lu Li should know more about Aunt Nian's affairs? Why didn't he take her for so long?"
Luoxia hesitated for a moment, and smiled a bit reluctantly: "Actually, I don't really understand it very well. Aunt Nian is cunning and suspicious, and she and the third prince of Beiyan are only in a cooperative relationship. There are many things she won't say by herself."
This explanation makes perfect sense.Su Qingyuan thought about it carefully for a long time, but couldn't find anything to refute.
In fact, so what if a flaw can be found?After all, she still didn't want to pierce the window paper.
After briefly going through the events of this period, Su Qingyuan closed her eyes again: "I'm a little tired."
Luoxia smiled and said, "Your Majesty, wait a moment, you can only sleep when your hair is dry. Now that the serious heart disease is gone, Your Majesty can sleep peacefully from now on."
"Really?" Su Qingyuan curled her lips disapprovingly.
There was a look of worry hidden in Luoxia's eyes, but Su Qingyuan didn't notice it.
She just sat quietly, cooperating with Luoxia's movement of wiping her hair, shaking it.
After sitting for an unknown amount of time, Luoxia put the cloth towel aside and smiled: "It's almost done. Do you want to rest now, or have some refreshments?"
Su Qingyuan stood up, walked to the bed and sat down, and asked casually, "Where is Princess Hejing now?"
Luo Xia smiled and said, "Of course she still lives in the palace. The empress Xian is careful, she will always be with her, so the empress doesn't have to worry."
"Concubine Xian..." Su Qingyuan frowned and thought for a long time.
Luoxia was a little puzzled, and just as she was about to ask, Su Qingyuan smiled again: "Forget it, since Concubine Xian is here, she shouldn't be thinking wildly. Now that the third prince Beiyan has fled back, the warriors told us to kill him again. The princess must be in a bad mood. If you have time, remember to remind Lu Li to help Duan Ran get married as soon as possible!"
Luo Xia agreed with a smile, and carefully tucked the quilt for her.
Su Qingyuan closed her eyes, but her heart felt tense again.
Luoxia agreed to pass this sentence on her behalf, which meant that Lu Li would not come to Fanghua Palace in the near future.
It would be better if he didn't come.
In this situation, if he comes, she really doesn't know how to deal with it!
