Both of them were smart people. There was no need for words to be said. The meaning was already clear. They both understood what the emperor emeritus's so-called escape route might be.
Although the Sun Clan didn't understand much, she didn't care much about the court's affairs, so she just sat to the side.
Qin Huaiyuan and Qin Yining chatted for a while before saying, "Father still has to enter the palace to meet the emperor, so I won't stay any longer. You have to be well here. "
The Sun Clan frowned with some reluctance, "Sister Yi, your injuries haven't healed yet. You must recuperate well. You're still young, so don't fall ill. If you lack anything, send someone back to tell me. Don't let yourself suffer. "
"Mother, I know." Qin Yining hugged the Sun Clan emotionally. She rubbed her cheek against the Sun Clan's shoulder in a spoiled manner.
It wasn't easy for her to obtain the Sun Clan's maternal love, so she especially cherished it.
She whispered in the Sun Clan's ear, "Mother, you have to take good care of yourself at home. Just be a bit more modest towards the old madam. Now that something has happened to me, I'm afraid the old madam will be depressed for a while. Don't face her directly. "
The Sun Clan secretly thought that her daughter really knew things like a god. She didn't tell her that the old madam had already caused a ruckus, so she didn't want her to worry. She only stroked her long hair and said, "Don't worry. Now that the family is like this, everyone just needs to live peacefully."
"That's good." Qin Yining slightly muttered and whispered, "Mother, don't get into a conflict with Concubine Cao. Her background isn't simple. When I'm not at home, you have to be careful. You have to discuss with Mother Jin more. You can also secretly ask Mammy Qin for advice. Mammy Qin is the most accurate when it comes to understanding the old madam's intentions. You should ask her more. "
"Okay, okay." The Sun Clan's heart was sour and swollen. How ignorant was she in the past to make her daughter so worried outside?
When Qin Huaiyuan saw his wife and daughter hugging each other and whispering to each other, the look in his eyes softened.
Although he didn't know what Qin Yining had said to the Sun Clan, he could guess from the Sun Clan's emotional expressions.
They would be the driving force for his future efforts. They were his goal. Although he was disappointed in the court and the imperial family, with them around, his life would not lose its direction.
Qin Yining sent the Sun Clan and Qin Huaiyuan to the Chuihua Gate.
Qin Huaiyuan then said with a smile, "These ten boxing masters are the martial arts masters that I have invited to protect you. From now on, I'll stay here and serve you. "
"Thank you, Father." Qin Yining smiled and nodded.
The imperial bodyguards who were originally guarding the gate were in a difficult position. "Grand Preceptor Qin, without the Emperor's permission, we don't dare to give permission."
Qin Huaiyuan had a faint smile on his face, but his voice was filled with the oppressive aura of a superior, "This official understands that it is extremely difficult. This official will personally discuss this matter with His Majesty. I will definitely not make things difficult for all of you.
From now on, my daughter's safety will depend on you all. "
"We don't dare. Please rest assured, Grand Preceptor. We will do our best to protect Reverend Xuansu. "The imperial bodyguards saluted in unison.
When Qin Huaiyuan heard the words' Enlightened Master Xuansu ', he felt a sense of suffocation in his heart. However, his expression remained unchanged. He only smiled and thanked the few people before leading Madam Sun, who was crying again, down the mountain.
Qin Yining stood in front of the Chuihua Gate, watching his parents leave. He didn't move for a long time.
When the imperial bodyguards saw Qin Yining standing there in a daze, they didn't dare to persuade him. The imperial bodyguards were all the Emperor's trusted aides. How could they not know how much the Emperor treasured this person?
Bing Tang put a lotus-colored robe on Qin Yining's shoulder.
Qin Yining came back to his senses. He looked at Bing Tang and couldn't help but smile.
Bing Tang also smiled. "Miss's body hasn't recovered yet. Go rest for a while and let me take a look at your injuries."
"Okay."
Although she was temporarily confined to this courtyard, the people around her were all her trusted aides. It was better than being isolated and helpless in the palace. She was only temporarily away from home, so there was nothing to be dissatisfied with.
With Bing Tang by Qin Yining's side, her body was effectively improved.
The news that the Retired Emperor had sold this year's tax grain for silver had also spread throughout the imperial court.
The most infuriating thing was that the emperor emeritus sold the grain but refused to hand over the money.
The Emperor inquired about it many times. The emperor emeritus was so angry that he even hit the Emperor.
The Emperor thought that the money from selling the tax grain was gone. What about the money in the national treasury and internal funds?
Therefore, during the imperial court meeting, the Emperor ordered a thorough investigation.
The investigation wasn't serious, but the Emperor's internal funds and national treasury were basically emptied! Moreover, the whereabouts of such a huge sum of money were still unknown!
The Emperor flew into a rage on the spot. The coronation ceremony was hastily completed. He casually conferred the title of empress to Duke An's Li and simplified all the ceremonies. Then, he continued to investigate the whereabouts of the national treasury and internal funds.
The next day after the coronation ceremony, the emperor emeritus ordered people to prepare a boat. He brought along a few old officials and a few dowager concubines who were on good terms with him and wanted to take the boat out to play.
When they heard the news that the emperor emeritus was going to take the boat out, Qin Huaiyuan was talking with Yuchi Yan in the study room.
As soon as he heard the news, Qin Huaiyuan immediately said, "No, Your Majesty, you can't let the emperor emeritus leave! If he leaves, we won't be able to get back the taxes, national treasury, and internal funds! The war situation is tense now, and Prince Ning was seriously injured yesterday. Which part of the army doesn't need money to fight a war? Without money, what will you use to fight a war? What will you use to protect this country? Your Majesty, the emperor emeritus is planning to leave this mess to you and escape with a large sum of money! "
This idea had been hovering in Yuchi Yan's mind for a long time. It was just that his thoughts weren't so clear and he didn't think it through so thoroughly.
However, after Qin Huaiyuan pointed it out, Yuchi Yan completely understood.
With a livid expression, he ordered people to prepare a horse. Then, with Qin Huaiyuan, a group of imperial bodyguards, and palace servants, he rushed to the port at top speed. Finally, he managed to intercept the emperor emeritus before he boarded the boat.
"Imperial Father!" Yuchi Yan dismounted his horse and quickly walked forward, panting for breath. "Where are you going?"
The emperor emeritus' hair and beard were all white now, making him appear much older. His pair of cloudy eyes showed a bit of resentment when he saw Yuchi Yan rushing over.
"Now, it's finally your turn to tell me where I'm going? How come now that you're all grown up, you think you can meddle in my affairs? "
Yuchi Yan was so angry that his whole body trembled. However, he was a well-read person after all, so he couldn't say any malicious words to his father.
"Imperial Father, now that you've abdicated the throne, it's time for you to enjoy the rest of your life. If you don't stay in the palace, this son will be busy with political affairs and have no time to take care of you. How can this son fulfill his filial duties? Imperial Father, please come back with this son. "
Hearing Yuchi Yan's words, the emperor emeritus felt more confident in his heart. He sneered and said, "Since I've abdicated the throne, then the matters of the court will be left to you to manage. Whether I stay in the capital or not, it won't be of any help to you. I'm old, and your Imperial Mother has passed away. I'm disheartened and only want to travel the world in the future and live a carefree life.
