She didn't have the ability to dig up the imperial mausoleum's underground palace immediately.
She didn't have the ability to deliver the news in advance.
She couldn't even do anything to help. She could only sit there and watch helplessly.
Even now, a eunuch still dared to bully her?
Qin Yining gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "It seems that Eunuch Li's rules aren't very good. Ji Yun. "
Ji Yun had already endured for a long time. When she heard this, she immediately responded and went forward to slap Li Weiliang's face.
A crisp "Pa" sound was heard. When the surrounding people saw this scene, they stopped digging and moving rocks and soil.
Li Weiliang covered his face and stared at Qin Yining in disbelief. "You, how dare you order people …"
"Eunuch Li, as the Empress Dowager's personal servant, you should know the rules the best and know your limits. Why are you acting so unbearably? The Empress Dowager is worried about Your Majesty and the officials' safety, so she ordered you to come here to save them. Instead of helping, you actually have the leisure to flaunt your authority here? No matter how bad This King's Consort is, she's still a first-rank noble lady. Is she worthy of being lectured by you? "
"You, you, Prince Zhongshun's Consort, are really imposing! When I return to the palace, I will definitely report this to the Empress Dowager! "
"If you don't go, This King's Consort will still go! When the Empress Dowager is most anxious about Your Majesty's safety, not only did you not save him, you even have the mind to talk about these useless things. I must report this to the Empress Dowager and see how she will deal with you! "
Li Weiliang was a little scared.
He originally wanted to flatter the Empress Dowager and act according to her wishes. He only spoke sarcastically when he saw Qin Yining. He didn't expect this woman to be so fierce even though she was pregnant. She actually dragged him into the mud.
Li Weiliang pursed his lips. If he shut up now, this matter would naturally be over, but his face would also be lost.
If he continued to make a fuss, he was afraid that the Qin Clan would order people to be rough with him!
Qin Yining coldly looked at Li Weiliang's expression. He saw that his expression seemed to be wavering, but it wasn't for Your Majesty's safety in the underground palace, but for himself. He couldn't help but feel a little tired.
........................................
Just as Qin Yining was silently cursing, a burst of cheers suddenly came from the entrance of the underground palace. There were also the sounds of soldiers shouting.
...........
A large rock was moved away, revealing a narrow cave entrance.
Everyone worked together and dug out a hole big enough for one person to pass through. After exchanging a few words with the person inside, they suddenly let out a cheer.
Qin Yining was stunned and immediately walked over there. ...................
Who would have thought that when he got closer, he would see two familiar faces among the few people who crawled out of the cave. However, he didn't see Pang Xiao's figure.
Ji Zeyu casually patted the dust on his head. When he saw Qin Yining approaching, he only nodded.
Lu Heng took a big gulp of water from the water bag handed to him by a soldier. Just as he spat out the mouthwash, he saw Qin Yining and was immediately stunned.
Qin Yining said, "It's great that you're all okay."
Ji Zeyu silently took a wet cloth from a Jingji guard and wiped his face.
Lu Heng was a little excited. He knew that Qin Yining came for Pang Xiao, but he was still excited. When he saw Qin Yining at this moment, he only felt joy in his heart.
"It's too dangerous here. It's not suitable for you to come."
In Qin Yining's mind, she and Lu Heng had gone through thick and thin together. Although they didn't have the chance to meet after Lu Heng was made a count, it was true that they trusted each other.
Qin Yining asked, "What's the situation inside? Did you see Your Majesty and Wang Ye? "
Even though Qin Yining put Your Majesty in front of his question, Lu Heng could still tell that Qin Yining only wanted to ask about Pang Xiao.
The eagerness in his eyes gradually faded. Lu Heng hid his disappointment and disappointment very well.
"At that time, Your Majesty was holding Wang Ye's hand and walking at the front. The two of them were whispering, so we naturally couldn't get close. The closest person to Your Majesty was Chief Steward Li. The explosion suddenly happened. I first saw a burst of fire, then the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked. I didn't have time to react before I fell to the ground. Thanks to Prince Consort Ji's help, I was able to avoid a falling rock. When I looked up again, Your Majesty and Wang Ye were already gone. The entrance they walked through was already filled with falling rocks, and I could faintly see the fire inside. "
Qin Yining's face turned pale. There was an explosion, a fire, and falling rocks. Was there any way to save her?
Even if she didn't get burned, injured, or smashed, what if the air inside was thin …
Qin Yining was full of worry. He didn't think in a positive direction. His expression became uglier and uglier.
Lu Heng actually didn't know what he was thinking. What he said was true, but he didn't want to tell Qin Yining because he didn't want her to be too sad and anxious. However, when he saw how worried Qin Yining was about Pang Xiao, he couldn't help but tell her. It was as if that would make him feel better.
However, when he saw how worried and scared Qin Yining was, other than feeling bitter, he felt even more distressed and regretful.
"I shouldn't have told you this." “
Qin Yining shook his head and said, "It's okay. You were right to tell me the truth. It's easier to rescue them if we know where they are. "
Qin Huaiyuan also comforted her, "Sister Yi, don't worry. If we know where to go, we know how to save them."
He took out the sketch of the underground palace's interior and asked Lu Heng, "Does Zhong Yibo know which direction Your Majesty went?"
Lu Heng pointed in a direction on the map, "It's about here. Do you want to dig through here first? "
Ji Zeyu threw the cloth away and looked at the map closer, saying, "There are many natural stone walls in the underground palace. I'm afraid that I'll dig in the wrong place and do nothing. I'm also afraid that there will be other passages inside, so they didn't go in this direction. "
Li Weiliang saw that they were discussing and completely excluded him. He covered his face and came forward, "Why don't we ask the Empress Dowager's opinion first before making a decision?"
Lu Heng frowned and didn't express his opinion.
Qin Yining was furious and wanted to continue lecturing him, but Ji Zeyu beat him to it.
Only to hear Ji Zeyu's deep and cold voice say, "And who are you?"
Li Weiliang was so angry that he fell backwards. However, the person in front of him was the Empress Dowager's son-in-law. The Empress Dowager doted on Princess Royal the most. He could only smile and bow, "Greetings, Prince Consort Ji. I'm Li Weiliang, the eunuch in charge of the Empress Dowager's palace."
"Since you're an eunuch, go to the inner palace. You shouldn't be here."
After saying this, Ji Zeyu picked up the map again and discussed with Qin Huaiyuan, Lu Heng, and Qin Yining.
Li Weiliang's face flushed red. He realized that many people around him were looking at him, which made him even more embarrassed.
"Prince Consort Ji, the Empress Dowager ordered me to preside over this event. You can't …"
"Guards."
"This subordinate is here."
"Send this eunuch back."
"Yes!"
Ji Zeyu ordered. Two of his trusted subordinates immediately came forward to cover the eunuch's mouth and carried him away. Their swift and decisive manner surprised Qin Yining.
