Yao Chenggu thought for a moment, "That's good. Sister Yi's second uncle was a high-ranking official, and her third uncle is also very good at doing business. Mr. Xie and Mr. Xu are even better. In Dai Fu's words, they are very good at making decisions. Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. Let's go to the other courtyard later. "
"Okay." Mrs. Ma nodded.
The Yao Clan was a little dissatisfied with their parents' decision.
"Father, this is the Prince's Mansion, Dai Fu's home. We are all Dai Fu's blood relatives. What are they? We made the decision. If they want to listen, then they can listen. If they don't want to listen, then forget it. We have already done our best. Why do we still need to discuss with them? "
Mrs. Ma snorted, "That's why I said you are short-sighted. You can only see three steps away from your feet. You can't even see the fourth step."
The Yao Clan disliked Mrs. Ma's sharp tongue the most. Every time he used such demeaning words to talk about her, it would make her so annoyed that she wanted to turn around and leave.
Yao Chenggu took a puff of his cigarette, slowly blew out a smoke ring, and said, "At this time, we must work together. This is also using each other. What's more, if we don't discuss, what if the Yao Clan does something wrong? Don't forget, although Your Majesty is in trouble, there is still the Empress and the Empress Dowager in the palace. They can also punish people. When the time comes, even the slightest mistake will make the imperial family unhappy. People will only talk about what happened to the Prince Zhongshun's Mansion. They won't talk about the Family Qin and the Yao Clan alone. "
Although Yao Chenggu's words were realistic and made Mrs. Ma unhappy, he successfully convinced the Yao Clan.
"That's right." The Yao Clan nodded and said, "I think the Family Qin's Old Madam is not a good person. They will leave us behind and run away when they see the situation is not right. Who knows if they will let us take the blame alone.
”
"Okay." Mrs. Ma couldn't listen to the Yao Clan's actions anymore. She suspected that she would not be able to stop herself from hitting someone if she listened to a few more words. He stood up and said, "I'll send someone to inform Mr. Xu and Mr. Xie to make arrangements."
"Mother, should I go with you?"
"No need."
Madam Ma got off the kang bed, put on her shoes, and went out with a sullen face.
The father and daughter looked at the Yao Clan's back view. After the door was closed, Yao Chenggu pointed at the Yao Clan and said, "Watch what you say in the future. Don't pick on you."
Mother didn't like to hear that. If he angers her, won't our family fall apart? "
The members of the Yao Clan knew that their mother didn't like them, so they tried their best to restrain themselves in front of their parents. Her father said this for her sake, so she nodded obediently. But in the end, he still felt indignant.
How good was their family in the past?
Wasn't it because of the Qin Clan that her mother and son began to distance themselves from her?
Why was Dai Fu the one who was most likely to be involved in the collapse of Mount Chongshan? Why didn't they just bury the Qin Clan?
%
The excavation on the mountain was beginning to bear fruit. The entrances to the underground palace were all open, and they could already see the first tomb chamber. Several ministers were rescued from inside. Some of them were injured or burned, while others were dead.
Those who came out alive were arranged to be sent to the hospital.
The corpses that were smashed or burned beyond recognition were carried to the side. The identity of the corpses could be determined from their official robes and the token hanging from their waists. It would be easier to inform their families to identify the corpses and bury them.
Qin Yining had a bowl of porridge and a pregnancy stabilizing pill in the morning. He sat under a tree far away and watched the excavation site expressionlessly.
Those people weren't wearing the dark purple robes that Pang Xiao wore when he went out. Their stature was also different from Pang Xiao's.
They weren't Pang Xiao's.
However, Qin Yining couldn't relax at all.
The first tomb chamber was already like this.
According to Ji Zeyu and Lu Heng, Pang Xiao and Li Qitian went inside after the explosion. What was the situation inside?
Seeing her sitting on the side with a solemn expression, Qin Huaiyuan was worried that her depression would harm her health. He persuaded her, "Sister Yi, listen to father's advice. This place is chaotic and dirty, and many people have died unjustly. It's really inauspicious. In order to avoid harming the child in your belly, it's better to avoid it. Father will ask someone to send you home, okay? "
Qin Yining was stunned for a long time before she realized that her father was talking to her. She absent-mindedly raised her head and met Qin Huaiyuan's bloodshot eyes, which were filled with concern. She shook her head and said, "Father, you don't have to worry. Your daughter has seen big scenes before. These things won't make me afraid. I also had a good rest last night. Bing Tang was watching over me, so I'm fine. Father, on the other hand, you've been busy all night without rest.
Qin Huaiyuan wasn't in his twenties like Ji Zeyu. Even if he was in his forties, he was still a civil official. His physical strength couldn't be compared to a young military general. No one could stand it after staying up all night to command and excavate here.
Qin Huaiyuan sighed. His outer robe was already dirty and messy. He carelessly sat down next to Qin Yining, who had grabbed a little girl for him.
"Father knows that you're anxious, but you have to take care of yourself. You're not alone now. Your life doesn't count. There are two more in your belly."
"Yes. Father, I know. If something happens to Wang Ye, I know that the child in my belly is the continuation of the Pang Family's bloodline. I won't be impulsive and lose sight of the other. I will do what I can. If I feel uncomfortable, I'll go back. Perhaps I'll be able to find him today. "
Qin Huaiyuan carefully examined Qin Yining's expression. He saw that her eyes were clear and there wasn't a trace of panic or cowardice. Instead, they were shockingly calm. He knew that she had a plan in her heart.
Qin Huaiyuan looked inquiringly at Bing Tang.
Bing Tang received Qin Huaiyuan's gaze and said knowingly, "Old Master, don't worry. Wang Fei has been well nourished these days. Her foundation has been replenished and the fetus is stable. There is no problem now. If the situation is not right, Wang Fei doesn't need to say anything. This servant will have Jinghu Wei's brothers kidnap Wang Fei and take her back to the wang fu to lie in bed."
Bing Tang purposely spoke in a light tone. As expected, Qin Huaiyuan and Qin Yining both smiled. The gloomy and anxious atmosphere was swept away and the atmosphere became lively.
Qin Yining stayed where she was and quietly waited for the good news.
At this time, the Empress Dowager finally made a move. She once again called in a thousand Imperial Guards to reorganize the area around the Imperial Mausoleum and strictly seal it off. She also ordered Ci 'an Palace's eunuch, Li Weiliang, to come again with the Empress Dowager's imperial edict. He was responsible for coordinating with the Five Army Barracks' Imperial Guards Commander Wang Su to monitor the rescue situation on the mountain.
Li Weiliang had been sent directly back to the palace by Ji Zeyu's order. He had given a lot of face. Now that he was sent here again by imperial edict, he naturally held his head high and thought that he had to regain his face in front of everyone.
Therefore, Li Weiliang led a group of mid-level officials and the Jingji Guards that the Empress Dowager had personally arranged for. Along the way up the mountain, they saw the officials and noble families waiting for their families on the mountain. They all sent them down the mountain using the Empress Dowager's order as an excuse. The corpses that were found were also ordered to be carried down the mountain for identification. The scene was very clean.
Even though this was a good thing, Qin Yining was still sitting here and was targeted by Li Weiliang.
Last time, he had been humiliated by Ji Zeyu because of Qin Yining. How could Li Weiliang let go of the chance to take revenge this time?
Therefore, Li Weiliang led everyone up the mountain and headed in the direction of Qin Yining. He said coldly, "I have come by the Empress Dowager's order to purge the mountain of irrelevant people. Wang Fei may have a high status, but sitting here is too much of a hindrance. I can understand your worry for Wang Ye, but you can't just sit here and rescue people. If the time to rescue Your Majesty is delayed, Wang Fei probably can't afford to be delayed. "
Qin Yining sat steadily in his original position. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Li gonggong's words are too harsh. What are your intentions for putting such a big label on my head?
"If me sitting here can delay the soldiers of the Jingji Guards from rescuing Your Majesty, then the two to three thousand people that the Jingji Guards have arranged can't beat a pregnant woman like me? By saying this, you are not just randomly accusing This King's Imperial Concubine of a crime, you are also looking down on the abilities of the Jingji Guards. "
Li Weiliang's face and ears turned red. He angrily scolded, "Prince Zhongshun, Imperial Concubine, you are too arrogant! Oh, I understand. No wonder Wang Fei doesn't care about the Empress Dowager's edict. I've heard that Prince Zhongshun is famous for his fighting prowess and is a pillar of the country. But for Wang Fei, a woman, he once defied the Imperial Decree thirty-three times. Does Wang Fei feel that because Wang Ye dared to defy the Imperial Decree for you, you also don't care about the Empress Dowager's edict? "
The quarrel here had attracted the attention of the surrounding people. Someone immediately rushed to tell Qin Huaiyuan.
Qin Yining stood up without fear. Bing Tang and Ji Yun immediately supported Qin Yining's left and right hands.
The Jingji Guards that were digging and moving couldn't help but stop what they were doing and look at Qin Yining and Li Weiliang.
Qin Yining took two steps forward and stood in front of Li Weiliang.
"This King's Imperial Concubine has always been a scholar. She has seen many records in the history books of those who were loyal to the country and the people even though they were not eunuchs. I feel that even if they were mid-level officials, there would still be loyal people.
"However, the good reputation of these loyal eunuchs has been affected by a few people! In This King's Imperial Concubine's opinion, why do the people have different opinions about the eunuchs? It is all because of those traitorous eunuchs who sowed discord and gossiped for their own benefit!
"Your Majesty and Prince Zhongshun are sworn brothers. It was originally a harmonious relationship between Prince Zhongshun and Your Majesty has already investigated the matter and declared that Prince Zhongshun was innocent. The Empress Dowager viewed Prince Zhongshun as half a son. Why is it that in Li Gonggong's words, right and wrong are completely reversed?
"I want to ask, Li Gonggong's words, did you mean them yourself or did you hear them from somewhere? If you heard them, who did you hear them from?
"Could it be that the Empress Dowager's trust in the nobles and loyal officials is superficial, but she will talk about the loyal officials behind their backs?"
"You! You! "Li Weiliang's fingers began to tremble.
He had already labeled the Qin Clan heavily. He didn't expect the Qin Clan to be even more ruthless. They actually dragged the Empress Dowager into this with just a few words from him. He just wanted to find some dignity for himself. How did it involve the Empress Dowager talking about important officials behind their backs?
Your Majesty is very firm about the fact that the harem cannot interfere in politics. If the news of the Empress Dowager talking about officials spread, wouldn't it prove that the Empress Dowager is involved in politics?
