Schemes in Royal Palace

Qingyan Palace

Leng Qingyan slowly squeezed his hand holding the cup, and his white fingertips let go of the celadon carved cup. The cup fell and broke under his feet. His cold eyes slowly looked at clove and asked, "are you sure you're not wrong!"

Lilac slowly looked up at Leng Qingyan and said softly, "the slave and maid saw it very clearly. It is really the queen mother on the Empress Dowager's side."

Leng Qingyan looks out of the window. The winter solstice has passed for a long time, and the day is getting colder and colder! More than a dozen Chimonanthus chinensis trees in the palace opened just in the face of the wind and snow. Large snowflakes fell on the Chimonanthus chinensis branches unscrupulously, pressing down a few inches of the new buds that were only drawn this year. A few flowers and bones that were too late to open could not stand the wind and snow falling on the ground. The snow-white ground was even more beautiful.

Leng Qingyan took back her eyes and frowned more and more. The Empress Dowager said to educate Xiyue yesterday. Unexpectedly, she took people away today.

Alas!

In the final analysis, she has a certain responsibility for Xiyue. Although the Empress Dowager speaks a little ugly, she will at least consider it for Xiyue and give it to the Empress Dowager. She is still at ease.

"Empress dowager, why did the Empress Dowager suddenly take over the three Princesses for education!" Xiaotao carefully looked at Leng Qingyan's face, and Leng Qingyan was slightly unhappy.

She subconsciously thought that the Empress Dowager was going to kill her relatives for the sake of the Royal system.

Leng Qingyan looked at Xiaotao with a worried face and said, "Xiyue is very close to the Empress Dowager's eye. After the long princess married, there was no one to be liked under the Empress Dowager's knee, so she asked Xiyue to chat with her old man to relieve her boredom."

Xiaotao always thinks it's strange, but she can't manage as a servant. She can't do anything to manage. The imperial concubine and empress really love Xiyue. I think if the Empress Dowager has any bad thoughts, she will not let the three princesses pass. The affair of the third princess is very big. Although the rumor was reluctantly suppressed by her majesty, it still has some influence on the reputation of the third princess. The Empress Dowager is always the third princess's own imperial grandmother and will not treat her badly. I feel much more comfortable when I think about it, so I don't ask any more questions.

Lilac handed Leng Qingyan a cup of tea and continued, "what your mother asked your maidservant to check, your maidservant has found some eyebrows."

"The palace suddenly found that you are still a little useful. Where has the martial champion gone?" Leng Qingyan said with a smile.

Clove took a smoke from the corner of her mouth. She used to be the leader of the dark guard camp. Since her majesty sent her to Leng Qingyan, she has been ignored by Leng Qingyan everywhere. She is very wronged. She is a dark guard. Where can she know what the boudoir woman knows! What embroidery, what dumplings? She's a dark guard!

Dark guard!

Leng Qingyan finally found her useful. This little intelligence was easy for her. ha-ha! Suddenly some pride in my heart, I looked at Xiaotao, hum! See, I'm better than you!

Peach doesn't know what lilac looks at her! What are those provocative little eyes for! Xiaotao admits that she hasn't offended clove. She doesn't know where clove comes from. She frowns and stares at Ding Xiang.

"Report back to your mother that the martial champion was sent by your majesty to Jiangnan for disaster relief." clove took back her eyes and said slowly.

Jiangnan! Leng Qing Yan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. He looked at clove again and asked, "what position did your majesty give him?"

Escorting grain and grass is not a good job. Anyone with some identity background is unwilling to go. Jiangnan seems calm, but there have been several civil strife for a long time. Now it's a time of war and chaos. Jiangnan is closest to the frontier. Leng Renbo went to Jiangnan. Can she not worry?

Famine and civil unrest always coexist. If natural disasters are not handled well, they will lead to man-made disasters. Now all forces in the state of Chen are watching. Who doesn't want to take a share of it! I'm afraid it's chaotic in the south of the Yangtze River. How can Leng Renbo survive in the south of the Yangtze River? His lofty temperament is naturally incompatible with those dignitaries. If he offends anyone, he can't protect him!

Jiangnan is close to Dongjiang. Bandits on the other side of Dongjiang often go to Jiangnan to make trouble. Jiangnan magistrate is a famous corrupt official. It is common to fish and flesh the people and plunder the people. Leng Qingfeng, Leng Renbo's father, occupies a place in luo'an and has a high position among the people. Your majesty asked Leng Ren Bo to deliver grain and grass, which was not as simple as it seemed, and asked Leng Ren Bo to be a small grain officer, which really gave him up.

"What's the situation in Jiangnan now?" Leng Qingyan asked in silence for a long time.

Clove said truthfully, "the No. 1 scholar of Wu was beaten by the mob on the first day. Fortunately, a righteous man saved him. They fell in love and became sworn brothers."

"Didn't your majesty send food? Why did the victims do so?" Leng Qingyan frowned and asked.

"It seems that a lot of yellow sand has been mixed into the grain, but in fact there are not many at all," said clove.

Yellow sand!

How can there be yellow sand in good grain?

"What's the situation over there, your majesty?" Leng Qingyan asked.

The grain for disaster relief represents the attitude of the imperial court towards the affected people. The grain is mixed with yellow sand. The victims must think that the emperor doesn't want to control them, so there will be a riot. Leng Renbo, who escorted the grain, went on behalf of the emperor, and was naturally attacked by the victims.

"Your Majesty said that the food was changed halfway."

"Do you know who switched the grain?" Leng Qingyan Meng put down the tea cup and was very angry.

The expression on lilac's face changed several times and whispered in Leng Qingyan's ear. Leng Qingyan's face became deeper and deeper. It's Liu Xiang. The old fox can really exploit loopholes. He's so cold that Ren Bo died!

Leng Renbo is also a newborn calf. He is not afraid of tigers. He has worked against the old fox Liu Xiang many times. Can he not hate Leng Renbo!

"The palace knows! You continue to let people monitor Liu Xiang's movements. He will tell the palace whenever he takes any action."

"Yes, maidservant!" Lilac said and withdrew.

Xiaotao has never been much interested in this kind of thing. Leng Qingyan doesn't say that she won't ask more. She is more interested in the three princesses than disaster relief.

Xiaotao opened her mouth and looked at Leng Qingyan. She wanted to ask Leng Qingyan when she could bring the three princesses back, but she couldn't say it in the end.

Leng Qingyan just smiled and said, "the palace knows what you want to ask! Xiyue was taken away by the Empress Dowager. If the palace wants Xiyue back, it will offend the Empress Dowager." after that, Leng Qingyan went to the window and his eyes fell on the white cat rolling in the snow.

"How did Xiaobai go out?" Leng Qingyan asked Xiaotao.

Xiaotao was stunned and said, "Xiaobai Xu hasn't seen snow. He's fun!"

"Is his leg hurt!" Leng Qingyan asked, staring at the white cat in the snow.

"After the empress entered the cold palace, Xiaobai ran out to find the empress and bumped into Qiu Jieyu on the road... She..." Xiaotao knelt down and said with tears: "Qiu Jieyu ordered someone to discount Xiaobai's leg."
