Qin Yining relaxed and closed her eyes. She peacefully leaned on Pang Xiao's shoulder and thought about the future. Although she was hesitant and worried, because she was with Pang Xiao, she could completely relax.
Qin Yining was never someone who was afraid of death. Compared to death, she was more afraid of her family and loved ones being separated by life and death. As long as Pang Xiao was by her side, at least she did not have to worry about him. Compared to this, nothing else was important.
Qin Yining was exhausted from the entire day. When she returned to Pang Xiao's side, she was like a tired swallow returning to its nest. After relaxing, she felt a bit drowsy.
However, she did not forget to tell Pang Xiao about the suspicious points she had just discovered.
"There is one more thing."
"Un?" Pang Xiao's voice was low and hoarse, but it was filled with gentleness and patience.
Qin Yining blinked and forcefully said, "Outside our palace, there must be many Spies. When the eldest princess quarreled with me earlier, she said that I seduced North Marquis Dingbei. "
Pang Xiao frowned when he heard this. He sneered and said, "Don't mind her. I'm afraid that she is about to go crazy. She doesn't know how to behave herself and randomly bites anyone she sees. I trust your character and I understand Ji Lan even better. You are not that kind of person. "
Qin Yining smiled and said, "I know that you trust me. On the way back, I kept thinking that there is no smoke without fire. Since the eldest princess said this, there must be a reason. There must be something that caused her to misunderstand.
"In the past twenty days, I have indeed spent half of my time on the mountain, watching North Marquis Dingbei and the others dig and rescue. At that time, I did not see the eldest princess angrily charge up the mountain to reason with me. With the eldest princess' personality, if she misunderstood, she could even cause trouble for me in the palace. It is not impossible for her to come up the mountain. "
Pang Xiao nodded, "You are right."
"So I was thinking that when we came back last night, we were seen by the eldest princess' Spies."
"Oh?"
Pang Xiao thought about it and vaguely understood, "You are saying that Ji Lan was outside driving the carriage and sent you back."
"Yes, North Marquis Dingbei even bathed and had dinner before leaving."
Pang Xiao completely understood. Li Helan's Spies must have seen this. Such a small matter could make Li Helan stir up such a huge commotion. It really made people speechless.
"Think about it, if the eldest princess' Spies saw this, would it be possible that Prince Li's Spies saw this as well. Is that why the Empress's being controlled? I was, I, Pang Yining's's's and, I's's's's's's, I's's's, I's's, I's's
Pang Xiao nodded.
"'s's. I of those people's, I's' ''s.......
Ye Pang Ye '' ''s......
"Wang Ye."
Pang Xiao gently patted Qin Yining's shoulder and got up to answer the door.
Huzi said in a low voice, "This group of Spies has also been completely dealt with. The total number of spies should be enough. "
"Okay, I understand. Tell Mr. Liao to inform the brothers of the Qingtian Alliance to prepare. "
"Yes." Huzi bowed and retreated.
Qin Yining vaguely understood what they meant by the number of spies. When the time came, if Prince Li attacked with fire, there had to be a way to deceive them. The number of spies had to be enough. If these Spies were not arranged by Prince Li, then they were arranged by Marquis Qingyang. Among them were the eldest princess's people, but there was no lack of others.
The prince's estate was under the surveillance of these flies every day. If they were not careful, it was very likely that even the color of their underwear would be seen by them. The most important thing was that these Spies could become assassins at any time, taking their lives while they were unprepared.
Therefore, although Qin Yining felt uncomfortable about killing people, he would not stop Pang Xiao from doing what needed to be done.
The result of soft-heartedness was very likely to harm one's own people.
Prince Li and Marquis Qingyang stayed together in the Empress Dowager's palace for dinner.
Li Helan accompanied them on the side, attentively pouring wine and dishes for the Empress Dowager, Prince Li, and Marquis Qingyang.
"Imperial Mother, don't be sad. Imperial Brother will be safe and sound. Isn't Prince Consort continuing to dig? Besides, Prince Li has handled the matters of the imperial court in an orderly manner. Although the war in the north is tense, Marquis Qingyang will soon be able to set out to reinforce Tianmen Pass.
"Although the current situation is tense, it's not that serious. There's still hope. Imperial Mother, why should you cry over this? You should be strong. We still need to rely on you. "
Li Helan and Qin Yining had a big quarrel and returned to Ci 'an Palace to complain to the Empress Dowager. Who would have thought that while Prince Li and Marquis Qingyang were both present, the Empress Dowager was sitting at the head of the table, trembling and crying.
Li Helan concluded that Qin Yining must have carelessly said something sad to the Empress Dowager, causing her to be sad.
In front of Prince Li and Marquis Qingyang, Li Helan exaggerated Qin Yining's domineering, arrogant, and unruly behavior.
This time, the Empress Dowager did not scold her. She only said that if she did not like her in the future, then they would not interact.
Her tone sounded a bit absent-minded.
It was clear that she was greatly angered by Qin Yining.
Fortunately, Prince Li and Marquis Qingyang both knew how to be filial to the Empress Dowager. They especially stayed for dinner and could accompany the Empress Dowager to relieve her boredom.
Otherwise, who knows how long the Empress Dowager would be sad and depressed.
Of the four people present, only Li Helan didn't know anything. He only thought that they were relatives of the same family and that they were all on the same side. There was nothing to avoid.
The Empress Dowager's heart was about to collapse.
She didn't know how many times she gave Li Helan signals, but it was like giving signals to a blind person. Li Helan actually didn't understand at all. One time, he even directly asked her, "Imperial Mother, are your eyes hurting from crying?"
She raised such a stupid, arrogant, and willful daughter who could not be counted on at a critical moment. If it weren't for Prince Li and Marquis Qingyang watching coldly from the side, the Empress Dowager really wanted to violently scold Li Helan to vent her anger.
Prince Li was currently in an extremely good mood.
He was like an astute old cat who managed to catch a mouse but didn't immediately bite it to death. Instead, he lazily lay on the ground and used his hidden claws to press down on the mouse's tail. He watched as the mouse tried to escape but couldn't, but still held onto hope and struggled.
On what basis could Li Qitian conquer the world and become the Emperor?
The world was about to be his! In the days to come, he would be the Emperor. The Great Zhou Dynasty would be his, and everyone would have to listen to him. He would have supreme power, and he would be able to kill and seize at will.
Prince Li thought like this. Seeing Li Helan's stupid fawning appearance was even more interesting.
Marquis Qingyang also felt that his niece was very stupid. He simply lowered his head and ate his wine and food. What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over.
After the meal, Prince Li stood up and cupped his hands: "Empress Dowager, there are still court matters to take care of outside. I will take my leave first."
Seeing this, Marquis Qingyang also stood up and bowed: "Many thanks for the Empress Dowager's banquet. Younger brother will also take his leave."
The Empress Dowager's heart beat wildly and her frightened eyes widened.
They were going to leave. Were they planning to kill the Emperor?
So what they would do next, would they immediately kill her to silence her?
Would Lan 'er also be … …
Many ways of dying flashed through the Empress Dowager's mind. Not a single one of them wasn't miserable.
Li Helan saw that the Empress Dowager's face had lost all color, as if she had encountered a frightening event that caused the sky to collapse. He couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Imperial Mother, what's wrong?"
Marquis Qingyang smiled and said: "Lan 'er, uncle is leaving the palace. Won't you send uncle off?"
Li Helan smiled and said: "That's fine."
Turning around, Li Helan bowed towards the Empress Dowager, "Imperial Mother, daughter will return in a moment."
"Don't!" The Empress Dowager reached out, wanting to grab Li Helan.
Right now, she didn't trust Prince Li, and she didn't trust her own younger brother even more. She was already about to helplessly watch these people gang up to kill her son, but she was helpless. If she also lost her daughter's life, how would she live the rest of her life?
But when he reached out his hand and saw Commandery Prince Li's smiling eyes, he paused. Even his words were stuck in his throat.
The Empress Dowager hesitated and was afraid.
Li Helan, unaware, followed Marquis Qingyang out.
Prince Li turned around and glanced at the Empress Dowager with a smile that wasn't a smile. His expression was like he had seen the most exciting part of a play, with interest and disdain.
When Prince Li exited the hall, he heard Marquis Qingyang say: "I haven't visited your residence in a long time. Do you mind if younger uncle strolls around your residence?"
In the past, Li Helan and his younger uncle had a very good relationship. Although Li Helan was now somewhat estranged from Marquis Qingyang because of the conflict of interests, he didn't find it novel at all when he heard this and immediately agreed.
Prince Li raised an eyebrow. He didn't stop Marquis Qingyang, minding his own business as he went to the imperial study.
At this time, it was already the time when the sky was filled with the glow of the sunset.
Before the sunset, the most perfect and dazzling light was left in the world for people to linger on.
The light of the sunset shone through the window, illuminating Prince Li's face as he sat behind the imperial table.
After a moment, Prince Li beckoned to the chamberlain next to him.
That chamberlain was tall and strong. If it weren't for the lack of beard on his chin, it would be difficult to determine that this person was a chamberlain.
"Act according to the original plan."
"Yes!"
The chamberlain immediately withdrew.
He quickly went to instruct Prince Li on the matters arranged.
The Empress Dowager was silently wiping her tears when Ci 'an Palace was surrounded by people.
The Empress Dowager anxiously asked: "What's wrong?"
"Replying to the Empress Dowager, it is said that Tatan assassins have infiltrated the palace. Prince Li ordered us to protect the Empress Dowager's safety."
The Empress Dowager's heart skipped a beat. She couldn't help but mutter: "They're here, they're finally here."
At this time, the Empress Dowager had just finished eating dinner. Hearing a burst of noisy footsteps outside the palace gates, she couldn't help but find it strange.
Not long after, Commandery Prince Li barged in with his men without any prior notice.
"Imperial Sister-in-law?" Prince Li's voice dragged out each word.
The Empress held her stomach and calmly said: "I don't know Prince Li.
You came uninvited. What business do you have with me? "
Prince Li chuckled. He casually found a chair and sat down, saying: "There is something I don't understand and would like to ask imperial sister-in-law."
