Bian Liuyun walked out of the palace with gentle steps.
Although those who wanted to assassinate her had been eliminated by Xiao Cheng, her life was no longer in danger and she no longer needed to take shelter in the palace.
But when Xiao Cheng returned to the palace last night, for some reason, she followed him back due to some strange combination of circumstances.
Xiao Cheng saw that she had no place to stay for the time being, and it was already late at night, so he didn't pay attention.
"Girl, the sun is just right today, do you want to take a walk in the palace?" The palace attendant waiting on the side said respectfully.
Although these eunuchs and maids did not know Bian Liuyun's identity, the emperor personally brought such a beautiful and outstanding woman to the palace. Although she did not have an identity, no one dared to offend her easily.
Perhaps everything has settled down and there is no need to worry anymore. Bian Liuyun is no longer as worried as before. After hearing the words of the palace attendant, she hesitated for a moment, but in the end she could not hold back her curiosity towards the Yun Kingdom Palace.
She nodded and said softly:
"That's fine, I'm sorry to bother you!"
The waiters bowed quickly without even daring to say a word.
It is now the first lunar month, and we are in Zhongqing City, a city that is like spring all year round. Walking in the palace, looking around, the sun is shining brightly, and spring scenery is everywhere. The warm spring breeze blows, and the shadows of flowers are rippling in the carefully cultivated gardens everywhere.
Visiting such vibrant spring scenery, Bian Liuyun couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth, revealing a gentle and gentle smile.
But at this moment, Bian Liuyun suddenly felt as if someone was looking at her.
Bian Liuyun was slightly startled and turned to look behind her.
Not far away, he saw two women in gorgeous palace attire, surrounded by a group of palace people, looking at him.
The two women have different temperaments. One of them is tall and has bright facial features, while the other woman has a charming and innocent temperament, which is extremely beautiful and supple. Under their appearance and color, even if the garden is full of spring scenery, it is not as eye-catching as them.
The maid next to Bian Liuyun was very clever. When she saw Nan Rongshu and Yang Yuhuan, she quickly sneaked up behind Bian Liuyun and reminded her softly:
"Girls, these are the two empresses Zhaoyi. The tall one is Nanrong Zhaoyi. The one next to her is Yang Zhaoyi."
Hearing this, Bian Liuyun pursed her lips and nodded slightly.
In fact, Bian Liuyun had met these two people before when she was invited into the harem by Concubine Zhang, under the guise of Rouning Emperor Ji. Moreover, at the harem banquet, the two of them did the same thing, using a pair of generals like this.
Facing a formidable enemy, he looked at himself with vigilance.
The only difference was that Bian Liuyun at that time was completely unmoved by the sight of Nan Rongshu and the others. But now, her heart was moved by it. It was completely different from before, and even more so.
A subtle state of mind.
Bian Liuyun hesitated for a while, took a deep breath, raised her head, looked firmly over there, and looked at each other with Nan Rongshu, Yang Yuhuan and the others.
Feeling Bian Liuyun's gaze, Nan Rongshu narrowed her eyes and said softly:
"Look, what did I say?"
Yang Yuhuan on the side was still a little confused and responded casually:
"oh……"
Nan Rongshu frowned and turned around to see Yang Yuhuan in front of him, with a serious look on his face and said in a deep voice:
"I think you don't understand it at all!"
Faced with Nan Rongshu's seriousness, Yang Yuhuan twisted his body unnaturally, and his mouth immediately became stammering, saying:
"Understood, what do you understand?"
"This Rouning Emperor from the Xia Kingdom has not yet entered the palace, but His Majesty has already given her half of the Queen's ceremonial guard, and also established a new position for her under the Queen and above Zhaoyi. This means that she has already
It's weighing on both of us!" Nan Rongshu's voice was urgent, as if she was facing a huge crisis.
Yang Yuhuan blinked his big eyes and said in a daze:
"so what?"
"So, the two of us must put aside our past grudges, stop being angry, and think about how to deal with her together!" Nan Rongshu said in a deep voice.
Yang Yuhuan hesitated for a while, then shook his head repeatedly and said:
"That Emperor Rou Ning is just because of her noble birth, so Your Majesty was given a new position. In the harem, the friendship with Your Majesty is the most important, and the position is not important. If we
Fighting fiercely in the harem makes His Majesty upset, but it only makes His Majesty more troubled!"
Listening to Yang Yuhuan's words, Nan Rongshu frowned and said with confusion:
"Did you think this yourself?"
If something like this comes out of your mouth, it’s very inconsistent with your personality, right?
"No, it was my sisters who told me... I think it makes sense. Your Majesty is already very worried about handling state affairs." Yang Yuhuan said seriously.
In fact, Yang Yuhuan's sisters may not be able to say these words.
Come to think of it, these words were most likely transmitted through Yang Yuhuan's sisters by the former Shangshu Ling Ma Minwen, who had resigned and retired to seclusion, and refused visits from all his disciples and former officials.
Although Yang Yuhuan is still ignorant today, because the in-laws of his three sisters have become important figures who influence the Ma, Qu, and Tao families, how many generations of wealth can they continue to inherit? So there are some things that Ma Minwen, an old fox, will naturally have to deal with.
Click behind to remind.
Nan Rongshu looked at Yang Yuhuan with a sincere face, and suddenly felt numb.
That's not right, you are sowing discord, fighting each other, and reaping the benefits. Such a perfect strategy, why don't they fall for it? This book does not teach what to do if they don't fall for it...
On the other side, the very clever palace maid behind Bian Liuyun looked at her with a strange expression and looked straight towards the two Zhaoyi's. She couldn't help feeling a little panicked, and quickly got behind Bian Liuyun with a look of embarrassment on her face.
,road:
"Girl, let's go back first. Those two are Empress Zhaoyi after all..."
Everyone in the palace knows that these two empresses Zhaoyi are very favored by His Majesty.
Although this person was personally brought into the palace by His Majesty, he will one day jump to the top. But now he has no status. If they get into a dispute, these palace people do not dare to help, and they have no name to help.
Hearing this, Bian Liuyun turned to look at the palace people around her.
In fact, with her intelligence, she could figure out the thoughts of these palace people with a little thought.
She lowered her eyelids for a moment, and then raised them again, with a hint of firmness on her gentle and majestic face.
"Let's go!"
"yes."
----------------
In front of the State Guesthouse, where the Li Dynasty was stationed, Aohou Lihu, escorted by the eunuchs in the palace and the imperial army, stepped out of the car Shi Shi Ran.
Seeing the return of Marquis Ao, the Li Dynasty guards who had been waiting for a long time breathed a sigh of relief visibly.
"Aohou, are you okay..." An official from the mission came forward and asked.
Li Hu waved his hand and said with a smile:
"The Emperor of Yun Kingdom just met and the date for the formal signing of the peace treaty has been finalized. Don't worry, everyone!"
When the officials of the mission heard this, they breathed a long sigh of relief and couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.
The Li Dynasty was defeated one after another in front of Yun State, its elites were wiped out, and the country's power declined greatly. Now, it can only barely maintain its defense line.
Under such circumstances, the Li Dynasty envoys who came for peace talks could not expect to receive courtesy from the Yun Kingdom court.
It has been a month since the mission came to Zhongqing City, and they have been ignored by Yun State officials at every turn. No matter how hard they, the envoys, try their best, up to now, even the credentials of the Li Dynasty brought by the mission have not been handed over. The Yun State government and the public are still confused.
It's like they don't exist.
Under such circumstances, as long as these mission officials have a shred of dignity, they will inevitably feel humiliated.
Now that they heard that Marquis Ao had completed the peace talks, they were not at all happy about completing the task, but felt extremely aggrieved!
When Li Hu saw the appearance of everyone in the envoy, his lips moved, but in the end he did not speak, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
His face sank and he walked straight into the camp.
"Where is Major General Chen? Let him come to see me!" Li Hu said in a deep voice.
When the people on the side heard this, they immediately said:
"Aohou, Major General Chen left earlier!"
Hearing this, Li Hu was stunned and couldn't help but ask:
"Where have you gone?"
"I don't know. If General Chen doesn't tell us, it's hard for us to ask..."
Li Hu suddenly felt something was wrong, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice:
"Go find him quickly and come back. I have something to explain to him!"
"yes!"
----------------
At the same time, the Xia Kingdom’s mission was not far away.
King Qi looked at a group of forbidden troops escorting Ao Houli back with a strange look on his face and said:
"Put it back so soon?"
Feng Chu on the side was also a little surprised and said:
"Yeah, so fast, it's a bit unlike Emperor Yun's style!"
The two of them naturally knew that as long as Li Hu bore the identity of the Li Dynasty's envoy, Xiao Cheng would not be able to really deal with them.
But judging from the various methods Xiao Cheng used to eliminate the forces in the Yun Kingdom, the two of them still felt that Xiao Cheng's evil personality would at least make other people in the Li Dynasty mission panic all day long, and finally let Li
Just protect him and come back.
Coming back so soon now was beyond their expectations.
King Qi frowned and said in a deep voice:
"This Emperor Yun is really..."
Halfway through, King Qi shook his head with some confusion.
Feng Chu on the side suddenly felt something in his heart. He looked at King Qi and said with a serious tone and expression:
"Emperor Yun's methods are difficult to predict. Sometimes he is gentle, like the spring breeze blowing on his face. Sometimes he is tough, and he is ruthless and ruthless when he strikes. And this is exactly the brilliance of the Emperor Yun. If your Highness is willing, you might as well learn from it.
Learn from Emperor Yun."
When King Qi heard this, he looked at Feng Chu and nodded slightly.
Many things that happened during this period also made him understand that the straight-forward, strong and easy-to-break methods in the military are not suitable for all places.
He used to disdain that his third brother, His Highness Prince Jin, was too gentle in his methods. But he never thought that he himself was too strong. The setbacks during this period suddenly made him wake up.
"I was an arrogant person before and didn't understand this. If there are any mistakes or omissions in the future, you might as well speak up!" King Qi looked at Feng Chu and said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Feng Chu suddenly smiled, nodded and said:
"Hahaha, it's not too late for Your Highness to wake up now, it's not too late!"
At this time, a soldier suddenly came to report and said:
"Your Highness, Yun Guoting Wei Si Zhi Song Ci, please see me!"
King Qi and Feng Chu looked at each other, nodded immediately and said:
"Bring it!"
When the soldiers heard this, they immediately retreated. After a while, the soldiers led Song Ci over.
Song Ci bowed slightly to King Qi and said:
"I've met King Qi!"
King Qi bowed to Song Cixu and then said:
"Song Sizhi, don't be too polite. Why did you come here today?"
Song Ci raised his hand and said:
"According to your Majesty's order, the person who poisoned the princess will be returned to the hands of King Qi."
Song Ci paused and then said:
"Your Majesty means that these people are from the Xia Kingdom after all, but they were involved in poisoning the princess, so they were not handed over immediately. Now that everything has settled, they still have to be handed over to His Highness!"
When King Qi heard this, he looked at Feng Chu and said quickly:
"Can you find out the person behind it?"
When Song Ci heard this, he nodded calmly and said:
"Few people can survive being sent to Dongchang Prison."
In the East Factory, most of them were born as eunuchs in the palace. Those with weak bodies often had mental problems. In addition, in the deep palace compound for more than six hundred years, I don't know how many ways to torture people have been devised.
Song Ci had always advocated using evidence to decide the case, and it was hard to like Dongchang's methods.
Seeing this, King Qi quickly asked:
"Who is the person behind the scenes?"
When Song Ci heard this, he immediately took out the file he had prepared in his arms, handed it to King Qi, and said:
"The eighth prince of your country, King Chu, may be involved in this matter."
King Qi took the file and scanned it ten lines at a time. His face suddenly darkened and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Yu Zhaoke!"
The eighth prince of the Xia Kingdom, King Yu Zhaoke of Chu, was born in a family in Jiangnan. He was the central figure in the court and had many supporters, and he was considered the most promising prince to succeed him.
King Qi and him were actually close friends, and they rarely met each other after they reached adulthood. But after he touched Yu Yingyao, King Qi's half-sister, the two of them had become locked in a fight to the death.
Song Ci lowered his head slightly and continued:
"Your Majesty has ordered that the matter will be reported to your country's court!"
In order to seize the legitimate heir, he originally planned to secretly poison the princess, and then it was revealed that King Qi was secretly looking for a substitute for the princess, deceiving the two countries, causing King Qi to lose the trust of Emperor Xia, and at the same time completely offend Yun Guo.
But he didn't expect that the cooperation between Xiao Cheng and King Qi directly caused the King of Chu to fall into this situation. After thinking about it, the King of Chu would definitely lose the possibility of seizing the throne even if he was not imprisoned.
Seeing that King Qi was a little excited, Feng Chu quickly answered:
"Please Song Sizhi, thank His Majesty the Emperor Yun on behalf of the foreign minister!",
Song Ci nodded slightly, turned around and left with a wink.
Seeing Song Ci leaving, Feng Chu took the file from King Qi's hand and read it carefully.
King Qi on the side gradually calmed down, looked at Feng Chu's appearance, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice:
"Is there a problem?"
Feng Chu closed the file, closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then opened his eyes and said:
"Not found!"
"Then you look like this?" King Qi asked puzzledly.
Feng Chu shook his head and said doubtfully:
"It's so easy for the people behind the scenes to come out! There must be high-level embroiderers taking refuge under King Chu's men. Such crude methods really embarrass the embroiderers' face!"
Speaking of this, Feng Chu suddenly said:
"There is also an accident that caused Bian Liuyun to escape suddenly during the Lantern Festival, but it was not mentioned in the file..."
Speaking of this matter, King Qi suddenly showed a strange look on his face. He coughed lightly and said:
"There is no need to continue investigating this matter..."
Hearing this, Feng Chu took a serious look at King Qi, suddenly nodded and said:
"That's right. We have eliminated the threat of King Chu to Your Highness to seize the throne. That's enough."
King Qi nodded first, then shook his head violently and said:
"That's not the reason, it's just...forget it, it's probably because you're overthinking it!"
