Huzi frowned and said bluntly, "If this was in the past, it would be easy. But this time, Your Majesty is determined to get the treasure and has put in a lot of effort. The people who surround Zong Mountain are all elites of the Capital Barracks. They have a sentry every five steps and a sentry every ten steps. They have made up their mind to not allow anyone to enter or leave. If we want to arrange for people to quietly sneak in, I'm afraid it will be difficult. "
Qin Yining was at a loss.
Sending a message was blocked. Asking to see Your Majesty was blocked outside. Sneaking in was also not possible. What should he do?
Qin Huaiyuan muttered to himself for a moment and made a prompt decision, "Now, we need to make three preparations. Send people to rush over with the Wang Fu token. Pay attention to this group of people and don't force their way in, so as to avoid angering the soldiers surrounding the Capital Barracks and causing an even bigger conflict. If the message is not passed, Wang Ye will be labeled as a traitor."
"Father is right." Qin Yining nodded in agreement.
Qin Huaiyuan continued, "At the same time, Sister Yi will go with father. Father is now a commoner. I'm afraid I don't have enough power to convince the soldiers guarding the place to let us go. "
"Alright." Qin Yining said, "I also have the same intention. I will go and persuade them. On the other hand, if it doesn't work, I plan to have people force their way in. With me present, they will be afraid of Wang Ye and will definitely have some restraining fear. "
Bing Tang frowned and estimated the state of Qin Yining's body.
Ji Yun objected, "Old Master's words are indeed reasonable.
But what if Wangfei's body can't take it? Why don't we go into the palace and report to the Empress Dowager? The Empress Dowager is worried about Your Majesty and will definitely make a move. "
Qin Huaiyuan smiled and nodded, saying, "What you say makes sense. However, the Empress Dowager can't be seen immediately. She will have to pass on the message layer by layer. If we send people to Zong Mountain to pass on the decree, I'm afraid it will be too late. "
Ji Yun blushed and said in shame, "It's this servant's fault for not thinking things through."
"It's alright. You're just worried about Sister Yi's health." Qin Huaiyuan continued, "After we leave, the safety of the estate will be handed over to Mr. Xie and Mr. Xu. As for the Family Qin, I'm afraid we'll have to trouble Bodyguard Cao. "
Qin Yining nodded and said, "Then let's do that. I'll order people to prepare the carriages, horses, and poles. "
"Just leave the rest to me. Huzi, just go and gather Jinghu Wei. "
Huzi nodded. "Yes!"
Breaking into Chongshan Imperial Mausoleum by force was tantamount to disobeying the imperial edict. It was very likely that they would be charged with treason. However, none of them were afraid. Huzi and his group of Jinghu Wei had long wanted to roll up their sleeves and go all out!
While everyone was preparing, Mrs. Ma walked to the door of Qin Yining's office worriedly.
"Lass Yi, did something happen to Dai Fu?"
"Grandmother." Qin Yining went up to Mrs. Ma and held her hand. "Don't worry, nothing happened outside. I'm just being paranoid. "
"Lass, you're still hiding it from me? Just now, your expression changed. I saw it clearly. " Mrs. Ma sighed and said, "I've been on tenterhooks for as many years as Dai Fu has been fighting outside. In fact, I've long been used to being worried about him. This time, Dai Fu was summoned. Did something happen again? "
Looking into Mrs. Ma's wise eyes, Qin Yining really couldn't say anything perfunctory. Mrs. Ma was a strong woman and was very clear-headed about things. Moreover, if she and her father went out, none of the remaining masters in the Prince's Mansion would be able to stand up.
There were countless bombs in Chongshan Underground Palace, and no one knew when those bombs would be ignited under Tian Jizi's calculations.
In fact, Qin Yining was already risking her life to go with her father this time. She was mentally prepared.
However, she had to go because of Pang Xiao.
In addition to Pang Xiao, Qin Huaiyuan was also doing it for the imperial court.
Even if Qin Huaiyuan didn't say it out loud, Qin Yining understood that Qin Huaiyuan was going with her for the sake of the important officials in the imperial court. He definitely didn't want to see all the capable officials in Da Zhou get wiped out in one fell swoop. If that happened, the people of Da Zhou would be exposed to the Tatan's iron hooves.
If something happened to them outside, the Prince's Mansion would lose its backbone. On the Family Qin's side, there were still Second Old Master and Third Old Master, as well as Qin Han, Qin Yu, and Qin Xian. However, on the Prince's Mansion's side, there were only Yao Chenggu, the Yao Clan, and Madam Ma left.
At the crucial moment, Madam Ma was still needed to control the situation so that the Prince's Mansion wouldn't fall into chaos. She also didn't want Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi to be controlled by Yao Chenggu and the Yao Clan.
Thinking of this, Qin Yining pulled Madam Ma's hand and sat down on the arhat bed. He explained the matter to Madam Ma in a low voice.
Qin Yining was afraid that Madam Ma wouldn't be able to take it, "Father and I will go to Chongshan Underground Palace to explore. I am pregnant and also the consort of the Prince Zhongshun. Presumably, because of Wang Ye, the Jingji Guards won't do anything to me. If we are so serious, most of them will listen to us. Right now, the situation inside is unknown. Moreover, I only guessed that there was a bomb in the underground palace. I can't confirm it. We are going there just in case. Grandmother, you really don't have to worry about this matter. "
Madam Ma was stunned for a long time before she patted the back of Qin Yining's hand and sighed, "You child, I know that you are a steady person. If you don't have a certain degree of certainty, you won't make such a big fuss and panic. Grandmother won't ask you how you guessed that there was a bomb in the underground palace. Grandmother doesn't understand the matters of you young people. I only have one request. You must listen to me. "
"Grandmother, please tell me. I will listen."
"Okay," Madam Ma grabbed Qin Yining's hand and said seriously, "I know that you have a good relationship with Dai Fu. When you went missing, Grandmother still remembers how Dai Fu was like. Whenever I think of it, my heart aches. I can see that you two want to be together in life and death.
"If anything happens to Dai Fu this time … you must be strong! Because you are Dai Fu's wife and the only matriarch of the Pang family. You are pregnant with Dai Fu's flesh and blood. You are the continuation of Dai Fu's life and the only continuation of the Pang family's bloodline. Do you understand? "
Madam Ma's hand was very cold. She held Qin Yining's hand tightly, leaving red scratch marks on the back of her fair and delicate hand.
However, Qin Yining did not feel the pain at all. She was using all her energy to hold back her tears.
"I understand."
"Swear to Grandmother that you will not hurt yourself. Your safety is the most important thing. If anything happens to Dai Fu, you will not die for love."
Qin Yining's eyes were wet. She pursed her lips and nodded.
"I swear that I will not hurt myself. My safety is the most important thing. I will not die for love. Grandmother, don't worry. Wang Ye will be fine. "
Madam Ma's eyes were red, but she was so strong that she did not shed a single tear. Instead, she smiled and nodded to comfort Qin Yining. "That boy is tough. You don't have to worry. He didn't learn martial arts for nothing. Even if something really happens, he has the ability to protect himself and escape unscathed. He is worried about you. He will definitely not let anything happen to himself. You have to believe in his ability, understand? "
Qin Yining nodded and rested her head on Madam Ma's shoulder. She said in a muffled voice, "Grandmother, don't worry. We will all be fine."
Madam Ma's wrinkled hand gently patted Qin Yining's back. "Don't worry. I will stay at home. The house will not be in chaos. Come back as soon as possible. If there is any news, tell me as soon as possible."
"Okay, I will listen to Grandmother."
The mother and daughter relied on each other to comfort each other.
The Sun Clan was useless. Qin Yining did not dare to tell his biological mother about these things. However, Madam Ma took the pressure on behalf of the Sun Clan and gave Qin Yining the concern of a female elder.
Bing Tang, Ji Yun, Xian Yun, and Lian Xiaozhou all quietly wiped their tears.
Qin Yining went out with Bing Tang and Ji Yun. Xian Yun and Lian Xiaozhou stayed behind to follow Madam Ma.
Qin Huaiyuan entrusted the security of the entire Wang Mansion to Cao Yuqing, Jing Zhe, and a few silver-masked spies. Then, he handed the soldiers of the Wang Mansion to Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi. He explained the stakes to them and ordered them not to spread the news and cause panic. Qin Yining then got in the car and went out with Qin Huaiyuan.
From the beginning to the end, the Sun Clan and the others did not know what Qin Yining was going to do. They thought that Qin Huaiyuan wanted to take his daughter out for a stroll.
The wheels of the carriage were wrapped in cotton wool, and the inside of the carriage was covered with thick mattresses. It was not so hot in September. Qin Yining sat in the carriage. Although he felt uncomfortable, it was not very unbearable.
Qin Huaiyuan rode beside the carriage on a horse. After a while, he would ask Qin Yining what he thought.
He was fully prepared and had Bing Tang to observe the situation at all times. Qin Yining's heart was tense. Naturally, nothing was more important than reporting to Pang Xiao.
In the time it took to burn three sticks of incense, they still walked for an hour before arriving.
Prince Zhongshun's carriage had the emblem of Prince Zhongshun's Mansion. Behind the carriage, there were several Jinghu Wei who were as strong as wolves and tigers. Looking at the neat formation and the valiant aura around them, one could tell at a glance that they were truly fierce warriors who had drunk blood.
The Jingji Guards who were guarding the Imperial Mausoleum of Chongshan were arguing with Huzi and the others who had arrived first. The atmosphere was already tense. When they saw a group of people rushing over from afar, they felt that the situation was not right. Could it be that the people of Prince Zhongshun wanted to rebel?
A captain led more than ten people around Huzi and came face to face with them. He asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?!"
Qin Yining had just taken a pill to prevent miscarriage in the carriage. Hearing the captain's question, he lifted the curtain and got off the carriage with the help of Bing Tang and Ji Yun.
Qin Huaiyuan dismounted and cupped his hands towards the captain. He said, "I am the former Minister of Rites, Qin Meng."
Wasn't the former Minister of Rites, Qin Meng, Prince Zhongshun's father-in-law, Old Taishan?
The Jingji Guards looked at each other in dismay. They then looked at the beautiful woman with a big belly who was dressed in a honey-colored brocade robe and a ivory colored long skirt. She was undoubtedly Prince Zhongshun's consort.
Qin Yining held Bing Tang's hand and slowly walked forward. He held the Prince Zhongshun's token and said with a sharp gaze, "Greetings, Daren. I am Prince Zhongshun's consort. Your Majesty's safety is very important. I hope that Your Majesty can be a bit more lenient and let us in to report to Your Majesty. If you are worried, you can go in and pass on the message. Otherwise, if you delay the important matter, it is not something that you and I can take responsibility for. "
"What a joke! Your Majesty ordered us to guard Chongshan and not allow anyone to enter or leave. Prince Zhongshun's residence has repeatedly sent people to provoke us. Do you not take Your Majesty's decree seriously? Or do you want to rebel?! "
