At this time, Qin Yining was still standing guard at the top of the mountain.
The sky was a bit gloomy, and dark clouds covered the moon and stars. The entire capital seemed to be shrouded in a huge shadow. Only the fire in the prince's mansion was still burning, and thick smoke billowed into the night sky. The orange light of the fire was weaker than before, but it still looked like it could reignite at any time.
Liao Zhibing whispered, "Alliance Master, we've waited for so long, but there's still no news from the palace. Will Prince Li not come out?"
Qin Yining smiled and said, "Don't worry. From Prince Li's behavior these days, he must be a cautious and suspicious person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited until all the doubts were resolved before revealing his true face. The matter in the prince's mansion was arranged by him. After his subordinates report, he will definitely come out and see for himself.
Only when he sees Your Majesty's corpse with his own eyes can he be completely at ease. "
Liao Zhibing nodded, "This prince is also a person of importance."
Qin Yining only smiled and didn't say anything.
Was Prince Li a person of importance? Maybe he was.
However, to put it bluntly, he was nothing more than a short-sighted villain.
The Tatan's Utejin Khan was not to be trifled with. He had already attacked Heaven's Gate, and the Southern Yan was rising in the south. The Empress Dowager and Prince Li only looked at the benefits in front of them. They didn't think that once the Tatan's iron hooves stepped into the capital, even if they sat on the throne, what could they do?
Facing Utejin Khan, the higher the position, the faster they would die.
These people didn't think about fighting the enemy, and instead started to fight among themselves. Even she, as a woman, found it ridiculous.
Everyone waited for a while, and suddenly a brother from the Qingtian Alliance came up the mountain.
"Alliance Master, Mister Liao, Prince Li has already left the palace and is heading towards the prince's mansion."
Everyone heard this and let out a sigh of relief. In any case, as long as Prince Li was willing to leave the palace, it was fine.
Qin Yining stood up and stretched her legs with the help of Bing Tang and Ji Yun. Not only was her body heavy now, but because her stomach was too big, it was squeezing the organs in her abdomen. She needed to urinate after a while, but now she wanted to go again.
Liao Zhibing led the alliance members and continued to stare at the foot of the mountain.
Qin Yining went to solve the problem with the help of two maidservants. When he came back, he saw Xie Yue and two familiar-looking guards standing together with Liao Zhibing. They were chatting.
"Mr. Xie." Qin Yining walked over slowly. "Why are you here?
Xie Yue smiled and saluted, "Your Highness. It was Wang Ye who was worried about you and asked me to bring some people to escort you back. It's getting late. Wang Ye is really worried about you being on the mountain. "
Qin Yining smiled and said, "There are so many brothers on the mountain. My safety can be guaranteed."
"But it's not convenient for you." Xie Yue persuaded, "Now that the matter is more or less settled, it's better to leave. The brothers of the Qingtian Alliance should go back and tidy up and rest. Your Highness also needs a good night's sleep. Even if you don't look after Wang Ye, you still have to look after the two in your stomach. "
Qin Yining subconsciously rubbed her stomach. After thinking about it, Xie Yue's words made sense. They could just leave two people here to take turns to observe the situation. There was no need for everyone to stay up all night.
"Alright." Qin Yining nodded and said to Liao Zhibing, "I'll have to trouble Mr. Liao to choose two brothers to stay behind and observe the situation."
Liao Zhibing nodded and said, "That's easy. Alliance Master can go with Wang Ye's people. I'll make some arrangements and take the rest of the brothers to rest. "
Qin Yining nodded and gave a few more instructions. Then, he rode down the mountain on a roller coaster and changed to a carriage.
The fire at the Wang Estate was too big of a commotion, so the patrols in the city were much more lax than before. Xie Yue and two imperial bodyguards protected Qin Yining's carriage. Soon, they arrived at a private residence not far from the imperial palace.
At this time, looking from outside the walls, the residence was no different from other residences. It was pitch-black, and the owner was clearly sleeping.
Xie Yue rhythmically knocked on the door knocker. Not long after, someone came to answer the door.
Qin Yining led the two servant girls and followed Xie Yue into the pitch-black courtyard. They carefully arrived at the door of the residence.
Someone opened the door and even lifted the curtains. A ray of bright light shone out. Qin Yining realized that there were curtains hanging on the doors and windows of the residence to block out the light.
"Your Majesty, the Prince Zhongshun's consort, has returned."
As soon as Qin Yining entered the residence, someone came in to report.
She had just turned around the floor-to-ceiling screen when she saw Li Qitian sitting at the head of the table in the side hall. Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu were standing beside Li Qitian.
Seeing Qin Yining enter, Li Qitian immediately stood up.
Qin Yining curtsied to Li Qitian and said, "Long live Your Majesty and be in good health."
Li Qitian had already arrived in front of them. He raised his hands and said extremely politely, "You may dispense with the formalities. You've worked hard this time. "
She was not used to Li Qitian's courteous treatment of Qin Yining. Ever since this plan, Qin Yining had no choice but to reveal the trump card of the Qingtian Alliance because of the lack of manpower, Li Qitian had shown her unprecedented respect and politeness. His attitude towards her was not like how one would treat an official's family member, but more like how one would treat one's own subordinates.
Therefore, Qin Yining felt that Li Qitian was worthy of admiration. He really had his own way of using people.
Qin Yining stood up and said with lowered eyes, "Your Majesty is overpraising me. This subject's wife doesn't dare to accept such praise."
"You're too modest. This time, it's all thanks to the efforts of your subordinates. Otherwise, it wouldn't have gone so smoothly. After this matter is completed, I will definitely reward you handsomely. "
"Contributing to Your Majesty is contributing to the country. How could I dare to ask for any reward? Your Majesty shouldn't say such things. "
After the two sides exchanged some pleasantries, Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu's personal guards were all dumbfounded. Everyone couldn't help but think that Prince Zhongshun's wife was really a powerful person. It was no wonder that Prince Zhongshun was so infatuated with her.
"Sit down and talk." Li Qitian smiled and gestured for them to sit down.
Pang Xiao opened his mouth and asked Qin Yining to sit down beside him.
Li Qitian asked, "How's the matter going? How's the situation outside? "
Qin Yining said respectfully, "Replying to Your Majesty, the matter outside is as expected. The fire in the Prince's Mansion has attracted enough attention. Prince Li has already led his men out of the palace."
Qin Yining looked at Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu. "How are the arrangements on your side?"
Pang Xiao smiled. "With Your Majesty in charge, there's nothing that can't be done. Don't worry, everything has been arranged. I'm sure there will be good news soon. "
Ji Zeyu also nodded in agreement.
Li Qitian smiled from the bottom of his heart. Although the situation was tense, he never lost his fighting spirit.
"Now everything is ready except for the east wind. Let's see how the news is from there."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Pang Xiao stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I'll take my wife to wash up and rest first."
Li Qitian smiled gently and said, "Go ahead. Thank you for your hard work today."
