Qin Yining sneered: "Li gonggong is a close attendant of the Empress Dowager. This King's Fei can't say much, but I will remember this matter. When I go to the palace to pay my respects, I will definitely mention it to the Empress Dowager. If someone is blind enough to bribe the Empress Dowager's eunuchs to sow discord between the monarch and his subjects, wouldn't that be looking for the country to fall into chaos?
"Right now, Your Majesty's whereabouts are unknown. The Tatan in the north is restless. Many of the important officials in the court have died because of this accident. This is the most difficult time for our Da Zhou. You came here on the Empress Dowager's edict to rescue Your Majesty, but you don't make things convenient for Your Majesty. Instead, you sow discord between the Imperial Family and the officials. What are your intentions!"
Qin Yining's words were reasonable. His words were like pearls. His voice was not loud, but it was heard clearly by the tired and sweaty soldiers present.
Your Majesty is the hero who founded the country. Prince Zhongshun is the hero who founded the country. The soldiers all worship the Son of Heaven and the God of War, Wang Ye. Wang Fei was just sitting in the shade of a tree and watching from afar. She wouldn't point fingers or get in the way. This eunuch came to cause trouble and even tried to frame Wang Fei. Wasn't he asking for a beating?
Some soldiers couldn't stand it anymore. They angrily threw away the large rocks they were carrying and cracked their fingers.
Li Weiliang was pressured by Qin Yining's imposing manner and was stared at by so many malicious eyes. His face was red. He wanted to argue, but he couldn't win against the other party. He was so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat.
When Ji Zeyu and Qin Huaiyuan hurried over, they saw this scene.
Qin Huaiyuan silently sighed in relief. He had just sprained his ankle. He had been anxious and had gritted his teeth to endure it, afraid that his daughter would be bullied. Now, he was in so much pain that he couldn't stand steadily.
Ji Zeyu quickly supported Qin Huaiyuan. "Uncle Qin, are you alright?"
"It doesn't matter." Qin Huaiyuan smiled.
Ji Zeyu then ordered his subordinates, "You guys support Old Qin."
"Yes."
The attendant immediately came forward to support Qin Huaiyuan.
Ji Zeyu strode forward. Although there were streaks of dust on his face, it did not diminish his cool and handsome appearance.
"What's the matter?" His stern eyes cast a sidelong glance at Li Weiliang.
Li Weiliang was stared at by the murderous eyes and took two steps back. Only then did he remember what he was here for.
"I am here on the Empress Dowager's order to assist Lord Wang in the rescue operation. The families of the other officials on the mountain had already left the mountain, but Prince Zhongshun's family refused to listen to the Empress Dowager's edict and even slandered our family! When we return to the palace, we must … "
"I understand."
Without waiting for Li Weiliang to finish his threat, Ji Zeyu continued, "Prince Zhongshun's consort is very resourceful. She can even help to come up with ideas here and put in a lot of effort to rescue Your Majesty. Naturally, she is different from the other officials' families. Eunuch Li can tell the Empress Dowager that Prince Zhongshun's consort was invited by me to help rescue Your Majesty. The Empress Dowager will naturally not blame Eunuch Li for not doing a good job. "
Ji Zeyu's voice was low and cold. He spoke neither fast nor slow and carried a hint of indifference, but it was hard to disobey. In addition, he rarely spoke so much in one breath. This time, he actually spoke so much for the sake of Qin Yining, which inevitably attracted the attention of his subordinates.
Li Weiliang was furious and said unwillingly, "But …"
"Don't tell me Eunuch Li doesn't believe my words?"
"No, I don't dare, I …"
"Just go and tell the Empress Dowager. If the Empress Dowager doesn't believe me, then send someone to ask me. "
Ji Zeyu turned around and said to Qin Yining, "Wangfei can do as she pleases. If she is tired, she can go down the mountain to rest. She can also come up the mountain at any time. If anyone dares to stir up trouble and affect Wangfei's efforts to rescue Your Majesty, I will cut off their heads!"
Qin Yining didn't expect Ji Zeyu to speak up for her. Her previous ill feelings towards Ji Zeyu had mostly disappeared.
She remembered this kindness and nodded in thanks, "Many thanks to Ji Zeyu."
Ji Zeyu lowered his eyes to look at Qin Yining. His gaze seemed to be sizing her up. Then he smiled in relief and waved his hand, saying, "What happened here is a small matter. The important thing is that Qin Yining Uncle has sprained his ankle."
Qin Yining turned pale with fright. He looked at Qin Huaiyuan, who was being supported by others, and asked anxiously, "Father, are you okay?"
"It's fine. It's not a big matter. It didn't hurt my muscles or bones. "Qin Huaiyuan cupped his hands towards Ji Zeyu and limped towards Qin Yining.
Qin Yining hurriedly went to support him. Bing Tang and Ji Yun also hurriedly went forward to protect the two.
"Father, please sit down. Let Bing Tang take a look." Speaking up to here, she complained, "Father, why didn't you say earlier that you were injured? You had to endure and not say anything. If Prince Consort Ji didn't say anything, were you planning to hide it from your daughter? "
Qin Huaiyuan was reprimanded by his daughter, but he only smiled and shook his head. He didn't refute.
Li Weiliang was left to the side. No one paid any attention to him.
He gritted his teeth so hard that they creaked. Ji Zeyu was the Prince Consort, and the Empress Dowager was his mother-in-law. Not only did he not side with the people in his mother-in-law's palace, he even helped outsiders to make him lose face.
Li Weiliang had suffered losses at the hands of Ji Zeyu twice in two days. He hated Ji Zeyu and immediately left in a huff.
Qin Yining saw Li Weiliang leave and asked Ji Zeyu worriedly, "Prince Consort Ji, do you want to send someone to explain the situation to the Empress Dowager first? If Li Weiliang gossips in front of the Empress Dowager, I'm afraid it will affect your relationship with Anyang Eldest Princess. "
"It's fine." Ji Zeyu didn't explain further, "Your Majesty is still buried in the underground palace. Those people still have the mood to sow discord. I think they're tired of living. Right now, I'm busy rescuing Your Majesty and can't free myself. After Your Majesty is rescued, I'll take a good look at them and see if they've grown up. "
After Ji Zeyu finished speaking, he took the map and led his subordinates to continue digging.
Qin Yining looked at Ji Zeyu's back for a long time. He couldn't help but worry and whisper to Qin Huaiyuan, "Father, Prince Consort Ji offended the eunuchs. I'm afraid it's not a good thing. That Li Weiliang's character is not good, and he likes to bully others and gossip. Right now, Your Majesty is not in the palace, the Empress is pregnant, and the Empress Dowager is in charge of the situation. I'm afraid it's not good to listen to slanderous words. "
Qin Huaiyuan nodded and said in a low voice, "It's not that Prince Consort Ji isn't smart, it's just that his personality dictates it. Now that His Majesty is in danger, I'm afraid that Prince Consort Ji is overly anxious for His Majesty's sake, which is why he spoke so rudely. It's dangerous to offend the eunuchs. Father will need to persuade him later. "
Qin Yining nodded and said, "Father is right. Prince Consort Ji is a good friend to Wang Ye. We can't sit by and do nothing when we see that the situation is not right. "
While speaking, Bing Tang had already examined Qin Huaiyuan's injury. Seeing that his right ankle was swollen like a steamed bun, she didn't care about their relationship as master and servant. She opened her mouth and sternly reprimanded Qin Huaiyuan.
Although his bones haven't been injured, the muscles around his ankle are severely sprained. He won't be able to walk for at least half a month. Don't you feel pain? How can you endure for such a long time? "
Qin Huaiyuan was reprimanded by the little lass. He could only smile bitterly and say, "It doesn't hurt that much."
"Then you can't continue to walk around. What will you do if you end up with a permanent injury and become lame in the future?"
Upon hearing that there was a danger of being lame, Qin Huaiyuan didn't say anything. Qin Yining was already anxious. He hurriedly ordered the Jinghu Wei who was protecting him and said anxiously, "Quickly set up a carriage and send Esteemed Master back to the Prince's Estate to recuperate."
"That won't do. If you want to go back, you have to go back with me." Qin Huaiyuan said with a sullen expression, "Otherwise, don't even think about making father leave by himself."
Qin Yining shook his head, "Father, listen to me. I don't want to stay here forever. My body is fine right now. If there is a problem, you don't need to say anything. I will go back by myself. Am I not afraid of harming the child in my womb? Father's injury is different. It is more important for you to recuperate. If you delay it for too long, what will happen if it develops into a serious illness? "
Qin Huaiyuan was speechless.
At this time, the two Jinghu Wei had already arrived. They directly lifted Qin Huaiyuan and gently placed him on the carriage.
Qin Huaiyuan said helplessly, "Look at these little monkeys. They usually listen to me, but now they only listen to you."
The Jinghu Wei was loyal to Pang Xiao. When Pang Xiao wasn't here, they naturally listened to Wang Fei.
Qin Yining saw that his father wasn't angry and urged, "Quickly go home. With you in charge of the fu, I can rest assured. I will be fine here. There is also Prince Consort Ji. "
Qin Huaiyuan was a scholar and wasn't young. Originally, there wasn't much use for him to stay and help. He had only stayed because he was afraid that Qin Yining would be in danger. Now, not only was he injured and became a burden, he also saw Ji Zeyu's actions. He didn't feel any scheming or enmity in Ji Zeyu's eyes, only the protection of loyalty. Thus, he relaxed. It wasn't easy to argue. He could only leave with his attendants.
Qin Yining watched as Qin Huaiyuan left before he relaxed. Just as he sat down, he saw Lu Heng standing not far away. He didn't know how long he had been watching. He smiled and said, "Lu Boye."
His attitude was casual and natural. Because they were very familiar with each other, Qin Yining didn't specially stand to salute.
Seeing that she treated him like before, Lu Heng's heart relaxed. He knew that Qin Huaiyuan didn't say anything about him to Qin Yining after they parted. He slowly walked forward and asked worriedly, "Is Old Qin Daren's injury alright?"
"It should be fine. How is the excavation going? "
Lu Heng frowned worriedly and shook his head, "The first tomb has been cleaned up. After checking, we found that the only important people left in the underground palace should be Your Majesty, Prince Zhongshun, and Your Majesty's personal Chief Steward Li and some bodyguards.
"The moment the explosion occurred, a huge rock fell and blocked the entrance to the tomb. I don't know how Your Majesty and Wang Ye are doing."
