Qin Yining pursed her lips.
At this time, she couldn't tell whether Tian Jizi had good or bad intentions towards Pang Xiao, or if she had her own plans.
However, Qin Yining was sure that Tian Jizi would kill her as soon as possible. When Tian Jizi instigated A Nari to kill her in the Tatan, she had already recognized the reality.
Qin Yining looked at the note again and murmured, "'A very noble person is protected by purple aura. If you stay in the mansion, you will be safe.' 'Very noble person' and 'purple aura'. She still thinks that you are the Ziwei Emperor Star."
"Yes." Pang Xiao muttered, "What is she hinting at? If you stay in the mansion, you will be safe. Is she reminding us not to go out in the near future? "
"I think so. But whether you go out or not is not up to you. What if Your Majesty orders you to go to war with the Tatan? Can you resist the order? Wouldn't that be like sticking your head out to catch Your Majesty's tail? "
Pang Xiao nodded, but in her heart, she thought that if she really didn't want to obey the order, she could also find a proper way to achieve her own goal.
Back then, she directly resisted the thirty-three imperial edicts, mostly because she was angry. Qin Yining was lost. If he couldn't find her, he might as well go with her. That was why he didn't care about the consequences.
"Don't worry. Anyway, what I want now is for you to give birth safely. I don't want any fame or fortune. I'll just stay at home with you. Then, everything will be fine. "
Qin Yining nodded, but she was still anxious. She felt that Tian Jizi was brewing a big conspiracy.
At this time, someone came in and reported, "Wang Ye, we didn't catch the monk. When our people chased after him, the monk had already run away."
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao looked at each other.
"Maybe it's Mr. Mu."
"Yes." Pang Xiao nodded.
In fact, they had already expected this. Since Tian Jizi was willing to leave a note with a hidden signature, she must have been confident that they would not be able to catch up with her. Moreover, Mu Jinghu was highly skilled in martial arts and Qinggong. It would not be difficult for him to protect Tian Jizi.
Pang Xiao sighed softly and said, "Forget it, we don't have to take it to heart. In any case, we plan to spend our days peacefully and won't wander around outside. Let's do it this way for now. "
Qin Yining nodded in agreement and temporarily hid his worries and doubts.
In the next few days, Qin Yining paid special attention to the changes outside. When he met with Qin Huaiyuan, besides chatting about daily life, they also talked about national affairs.
Although Qin Huaiyuan had been removed from his official position, he still had a keen sense for politics. He was very brilliant in his criticism of the current situation. Moreover, his words were reasonable, slow, and very persuasive.
On this day, Qin Yining and Qin Huaiyuan were talking when they heard the sound of a servant bowing to Pang Xiao.
The father and daughter looked towards the door and saw Pang Xiao wearing a moon-white shirt with arrow sleeves. She walked in with a smile on her face. When she saw that Qin Huaiyuan was also there, she bowed first and said, "Father-in-law."
Qin Huaiyuan smiled and nodded, "You're back."
"Yes." Pang Xiao went to the washroom to change clothes and wash up. After she was done, she went to the outer room and sat down next to Qin Yining. She smiled and looked at her belly.
Qin Huaiyuan was very satisfied to see the young couple like this.
The three of them chatted for a while. Qin Huaiyuan said, "The Empress Dowager's birthday is coming soon. Is there any news from the palace?"
Pang Xiao smiled and nodded, "I was just about to tell Father-in-law. The Empress Dowager is not celebrating her birthday this year. Your Majesty's intention is to hold a family banquet in Ci 'an Palace and invite the imperial relatives and some of the nobles. "
Qin Huaiyuan nodded and said, "You will definitely be invited. Your Majesty will probably let the two of you enter the palace together. When the time comes, you have to be careful."
"Yes. Father-in-law, rest assured. I will definitely be careful."
Sure enough, Your Majesty's decree was delivered to the residence by a young eunuch that afternoon.
Li Qitian really did invite Prince Zhongshun and Princess Consort to attend the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet on the 26th of August.
Pang Xiao politely accepted the decree and even gave the eunuch a big red envelope. But when he turned his head, he became melancholy. He didn't dare to show his melancholy in front of Qin Yining.
He knew Li Qitian's character the best. Other people might not do anything to reduce their own mother's lifespan during her birthday banquet, but Li Qitian wouldn't "stick to" these kinds of "small details." Qin Yining's current situation couldn't afford even the slightest bit of risk.
Pang Xiao went to the study and called Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi to follow him.
Xu Weizhi and Xie Yue saw Pang Xiao's serious expression. They also straightened their expressions and asked seriously, "If Wang Ye has any instructions, just let us know.
”
Pang Xiao frowned and told the two about the family banquet in Ci 'an Palace on the birthday banquet.
Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi also became serious.
"The guests for the birthday banquet should be the imperial relatives and the nobles. Not all of the nobles are qualified to attend. In my opinion, we should figure out who Your Majesty invited in advance and then analyze it. " Xu Weizhi thought, and his voice was slower than usual, "Your Majesty isn't a person who rigidly adheres to filial piety. We still need to make sufficient preparations. In case there's a sudden change. "
"This King also thinks so. This King is worried about the Princess Consort. She can't afford to be tossed around now. If something happens because of the birthday banquet, This King won't be able to follow her all the time when she enters the palace … "
Pang Xiao didn't finish his words, but they could already feel his deep worry.
He had lost once, so now he was especially careful and worried about personal gains and losses.
Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi could understand, not only because of Pang Xiao's love and care for Qin Yining, but more importantly, Qin Yining's twin in her belly was the continuation of the Pang family's bloodline. The inheritance of an heir was a big matter, and nothing could be more important than this.
Xu Weizhi was good at strategizing, and Xie Yue was good at making decisions. The two of them discussed in low voices. During this time, Pang Xiao also thought of some countermeasures. In the end, the three of them agreed on a method to coordinate inside and outside the palace in case of an emergency.
Pang Xiao felt that this method was feasible, so he went to visit Qin Huaiyuan. He told Qin Huaiyuan their plan.
When Qin Huaiyuan heard Pang Xiao say that he wanted to arrange for the prefectural soldiers to be stationed outside the palace, Qin Huaiyuan hesitated and said, "Although using the prefectural soldiers is a last resort, it will be used against us by someone with ulterior motives. When the time comes, there will be an issue."
"Father-in-law daren is right. However, at this critical moment, nothing is more important than Sister Yi's safety. I plan to arrange for several dozen prefectural soldiers to be stationed outside the palace. The rest of the people will find a way to be placed into suitable positions before the holy birthday. This way, they won't be too conspicuous. "
Qin Huaiyuan frowned and thought for a moment. He still nodded and said, "It's necessary to pay attention to the situation inside the palace, but we can't forget about the rear."
When Pang Xiao heard this, he immediately felt enlightened. Qin Huaiyuan was reminding him that the other party might use a strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain. Taking advantage of Pang Xiao's mobilization of all the people would be disadvantageous to the family.
Qin Huaiyuan continued, "There are two families living in the prince's estate, and they are all your and Sister Yi's relatives. For the sake of your future happiness, we can't ignore these considerations. I also hope that my fears are groundless. However, the calamity that befell our clan when we were in Great Yan was too unforgettable. "
During that calamity, they lost many family members and close friends. Qin Yining was seriously injured at the time and almost lost his life.
Although Qin Yining later compensated the families of those servants with a large sum of money, everyone only had one life. No amount of money could buy it back.
