Before Pang Xiao entered the palace, he only bid farewell to Qin Yining and did not disturb anyone else. He only brought Jinghu Wei with him, and when he arrived at the palace gates, he could not bring this one attendant inside.
However, Pang Xiao had already entrusted all matters outside the palace to Qin Huaiyuan. He also ordered Xie Yue, Xu Weizhi, and other advisors to listen to Qin Huaiyuan's instructions. Jinghu Wei was led by Huzi and was completely under Qin Huaiyuan's control.
Qin Huaiyuan sent Pang Xiao off to the Zhiyi Sect with a gentle smile on his face, making those who saw him feel particularly at ease.
Pang Xiao cupped his hands in salute to Qin Huaiyuan, then turned around and elegantly mounted his horse and left.
Qin Huaiyuan leisurely ordered his men to tightly close the gates of the prince's residence. He then led his men around the residence and carefully inquired about the guard shifts. After careful consideration, he made appropriate adjustments.
It took more than an hour for Qin Huaiyuan's patrol to arrive at Yao Chenggu's residence before Yao Chenggu and the Yao Clan learned of Pang Xiao's departure.
Yao Chenggu boasted of his intelligence, and he never doubted his own talent and ability. When he was running the restaurant, he never lost to anyone. Occasionally, he would criticize Pang Xiao about the current situation, and he was able to see through the situation and speak his mind.
However, the last time he met Qin Huaiyuan, the other party had used banknotes to ruthlessly slap him in the face. From then on, Yao Chenggu knew that there was always a taller mountain. In front of Qin Huaiyuan, an old fox who had experienced the ups and downs of the imperial court for many years and who had remained standing despite the changes in the imperial court, his cleverness seemed to be seen through at a glance.
In addition, although Qin Huaiyuan's in-laws had not come to question them about the safflower incident, Yao Chenggu suspected that Qin Huaiyuan had known about it long ago and simply did not say anything.
Thus, when they met today, Qin Huaiyuan smiled and said, "Wang Ye has been summoned to the palace and has handed over the matters of the residence to me to handle. Old Master Qin Huaiyuan is experienced and knowledgeable. If you have any suggestions, please do not hesitate to raise them. "
For a moment, Yao Chenggu could not even find the words to refute. He could only smile and exchange pleasantries before politely sending the guest off.
After Qin Huaiyuan had left with his men, the Yao Clan, who had been silent all this time, speak with dissatisfaction, "Qin Huaiyuan's Dai Fu now's heart.. ....................... In the past, he had followed the example of the great clans. As long as he was in the capital, he would have to meet them sooner or later. But now, he had thrown the rules to the back of his head. You've really married a meddlesome daughter-in-law. You've forgotten everything after a pillow talk. "
. "" That's enough. " Yao Chenggu was a bit impatient, "If you weren't so stupid as to directly poison your daughter-in-law with safflower, would Dai Fu have distanced himself from you and me? Dai Fu is not an unfilial person. As a mother, you almost killed his flesh and blood. You didn't even say anything nice and refused to admit defeat. How can Dai Fu forgive you? "
Yao Clan frowned in grievance, "It was Father's idea. No matter how I persuade him, it's all my fault."
Yao Chenggu waved his hand impatiently, "You're just a useless person. I really don't want to bother with your matters anymore."
After saying that, Yao Chenggu turned and went back into the room.
Yao Clan stood in the courtyard for a long time, unable to regain her senses.
Did she really become a lonely person who was not loved by her father, mother, or son?
Lian Xiaozhou leaned over and whispered in Qin Yining's ear. She clumsily repeated the conversation between Yao Clan and Yao Chenggu to Qin Yining.
"Older sister, it's Old Master and Old Madame's fault."
Qin Yining smiled and patted Lian Xiaozhou's hand, "I know. Let's just let this matter pass. We know what's going on in our hearts. We just need to be on guard. "
Lian Xiaozhou pursed her lips and felt indignant in her heart.
Qin Yining's power and prestige could be used in front of others, but in front of Pang Xiao's family, it was not important. She didn't want to think too much about it.
Qin Yining turned to order Lian Xiaozhou, "Tell Huan Xiaozhou to pay more attention to the main door. If Wang Ye has any news, tell her to immediately report back to me."
Lian Xiaozhou nodded and went out to pass on the message.
Bing Tang came in with a bowl of miscarriage prevention medicine and said with a smile, "Princess Consort, don't spoil Xiao Yan too much. She's been very naughty recently and won't abide by many rules."
Qin Yining took the small white porcelain bowl and drank the medicine in one gulp. Then, she rinsed her mouth with warm water. She wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "She doesn't have any bad intentions. She's wholeheartedly doing this for me. Moreover, she suffered so much when she was young. I always want to indulge her a little more. It's not a big deal, so let her be. "
Ji Yun and Xian Yun came in with tea, snacks, and fruits. They said in unison, "I've never seen Princess Consort dote on us so much."
"That's right, Princess Consort is very biased."
The few of them deliberately joked to relieve Qin Yining's boredom. Although Qin Yining wasn't in a good mood, she still accepted their good intentions and tried not to let others feel worried.
That night, Pang Xiao really didn't come back. She sent Jinghu Wei, who was accompanying her, to come back and deliver a message.
"Princess Consort, don't worry. Our people in the palace said that Wang Ye is well. Your Majesty has invited many ministers to gather in Yangxin Palace Hall for a discussion. Wang Ye, Prince Consort Ji, and Lu Boye are all there. There are also some loyal ministers in the court. I think that with so many loyal ministers gathered together, nothing will happen. "
Qin Yining nodded and massaged her sore waist. Xian Yun and Ji Yun immediately stood beside her and massaged her.
Qin Yining naturally knew that Li Qitian wouldn't be so stupid as to gather all his loyal ministers in one place and catch them all in one net. That was equivalent to destroying the Great Wall. With such internal and external troubles, if he really did that, wouldn't Wutejin Khan laugh to death?
However, she was in someone else's territory, so she couldn't feel at ease.
She didn't know how long Li Qitian was going to hold her captive.
As the important ministers of the imperial court were left in Yangxin Palace Hall to discuss important matters, the capital and the imperial mausoleum in Chongshan were also meticulously searching for the whereabouts of the treasure. However, even though Li Qitian had all the suspects in front of him, there was still no news of the treasure.
If he hadn't already intercepted two carriages of Dayan antiques and treasures, Li Qitian would almost believe Pang Xiao's words.
Pang Xiao was left by Li Qitian's side, but she was worried about Qin Yining's situation in the residence. She stayed two nights in Yangxin Palace Hall and found a place to sleep. Pang Xiao didn't feel bitter, but she became more and more anxious.
It seemed that Li Qitian planned to keep them in custody until the ninth day of the lunar month?
%
Pang Xiao was worried about Qin Yining in the palace, but Qin Yining was even more worried about Pang Xiao.
One or two days would be fine, but now it seemed that Li Qitian didn't plan to let them go until they found the treasure. Pang Xiao didn't have any subordinates in the palace that she could use. If Li Qitian wanted to do something, what if Pang Xiao couldn't prevent it?
The more Qin Yining thought about it, the more anxious he became.
Early in the morning on the ninth day of the lunar month, Huzi ran in with news: "Wangfei, this morning Your Majesty took the ministers who stayed in Yangxin Palace Hall these days and left for the imperial mausoleum in Chongshan before dawn."
Qin Yining was surprised: "Everyone?"
"Yes." Huzi nodded.
Qin Yining couldn't help but shake his head, and the worry on his face deepened.
After sending Huzi away, Qin Yining sat in front of the table and thought about what happened at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet.
"What does' Yan Dragon Vein, the bottom of Chongshan, the ninth day of the lunar month, the golden light appears' mean?" Qin Yining frowned as he muttered to himself.
Lian Xiaozhou and Bing Tang came in together with trays. When they heard Qin Yining talking to himself, Lian Xiaozhou said: "Chongshan is the imperial mausoleum. Why would the golden light appear on the ninth day of the lunar month? "
Without waiting for Qin Yining to reply, Bing Tang said: "The capital has been under martial law for the past few days. Isn't everyone looking for the Yan dynasty's treasure? If the golden light appears on the ninth day of the lunar month, it probably means that the treasure will appear on the ninth day of the lunar month. "
Lian Xiaozhou nodded, then shook her head: "But why would the Yan dynasty's treasure be at the bottom of Chongshan? The bottom of Chongshan is clearly filled with corpses. "
When Qin Yining heard this, the teacup that he had just picked up fell to the ground. He grabbed Lian Xiaozhou and asked anxiously: "What did you say?"
Lian Xiaozhou was in pain from being grabbed, but she didn't break free. She looked at Bing Tang and said seriously: "Sister, I don't remember very clearly. I just vaguely remember uncle saying that my father … father was worried that after the city fell, the rebels would humiliate the imperial mausoleum and trample on the corpses of the previous empresses. So, he buried a lot of corpses in the underground palace of Chongshan. "
Qin Yining let go of her in a panic and muttered: "The ninth day of the lunar month, the golden light appears. Could it be … someone come!"
Qin Yining's voice was extremely sharp when he said the last sentence.
Xian Yun and Ji Yun, who were walking slowly in the courtyard, were frightened by Qin Yining's voice. Even Madam Ma, who was in the side room, heard the sound and quickly ran over.
"Sister Yi, what happened? Why do you look so pale? "
Qin Yining couldn't care less about Madam Ma and hurriedly ordered Ji Yun: "Quick, quickly call Huzi over. Hurry!"
Ji Yun saw that Qin Yining's face had turned pale. She hurriedly nodded and ran out with all her might.
Madam Ma supported Qin Yining: "Aiya, silly child, you can't be anxious about your health. Sit down quickly and let that Bing Tang girl take a look."
"Grandmother, I'm fine." Qin Yining forced herself to calm down. However, her hands kept trembling and her palms were sweating.
Bing Tang heard everything clearly just now and was also burning with anxiety. She checked Qin Yining's pulse and persuaded: "Don't worry, Princess Consort. Wang Ye will be fine. You have to take care of yourself. Even if it's not for yourself, you have to do it for the Little Heir. "
Qin Yining pursed her lips and didn't say a word.
Her heart was already in a mess. Her mind was filled with the scene of the "*" being ignited and exploded. Bei Ji's imperial mausoleum was located in Mount Zong. Once it was ignited, whether it was an explosion or the collapse of the underground palace, the consequences would be unbearable.
No wonder Tian Jizi reminded Pang Xiao not to go out.
However, because she was pregnant, Pang Xiao followed the imperial edict this time for her safety.
What if something really happened?
Qin Yining didn't want Madam Ma to worry, so she persuaded Madam Ma to go back and rest first and let Xian Yun stay by Madam Ma's side to serve her.
"Princess Consort." At this moment, Huzi rushed into the room and bowed to Qin Yining.
Qin Yining took a deep breath and calmed down a little before saying: "Immediately take two people and take the Wang Estate's waist token to Mount Zong. You must catch up to Wang Ye. There's * * in the underground palace of Mount Zong! Remind them not to enter the underground palace and not to go near Mount Zong! "
When Huzi heard this, she was immediately scared out of her wits. She responded in a panic and hurriedly ran out.
Qin Yining's hands kept trembling. After thinking for a while, she stood up and said: "Immediately order someone to prepare a carriage and call a few Jinghu Wei to accompany me. Bing Tang, Ji Yun, the two of you follow me."
"Princess Consort, you can't do that. How can you go out rashly now? "
