The first seventy-ninth chapter picture poor dagger see(1/2)
Originally, Empress Dowager Han's orders asked Qin Lin and Qin Zhen to repair Empress Han's tomb and deal with some related matters. Although the two were not allowed to enter the palace again, they did not strictly order them not to return to the city to rest at night and visit their wives and children. Eighths and one? First?
Now, Empress Dowager Han chased another order, asking Qin Zhen to rush to the imperial tomb immediately and work day and night to repair Empress Han's tomb.
First, he blocked the Ganqing Palace, and then used the excuse to let Qin Lin and Qin Zhen leave the palace and go to the imperial tomb. Now, Qin Zhen must repair the tomb of Empress Han day and night, and he cannot return to the city without the will of Empress Dowager Han.
Anyone can see it.
It is fake to repair Queen Han’s tomb, and it is real to trap Qin Zhen in the imperial tomb.
Empress Dowager Han pressed forward step by step only one thing: Emperor Longqing's situation must have worsened further, otherwise Empress Dowager Han would not send someone to issue this decree.
Qin Zhen naturally didn't want to leave.
He exchanged a glance with Ji Xiaotang, and Ji Xiaotang nodded slightly. Both of them knew that the best way now was to gallop in the palace and meet Emperor Longqing no matter what.
The middle-level official who came to Anwang Mansion Xuan Paper this time was not familiar to Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen, but this was not an important matter. There was also a team of fully armed imperial guards who came with this middle-level official.
This is something that has never been done before.
However, these imperial guards, who estimate the existing power of the royal palace, should be almost able to deal with it.
However, before Qin Zhen could speak, a servant ran in quickly outside.
"Your Majesty, Princess, it's not good..." The servant looked anxious.
"What's wrong?" Qin Zhen frowned and asked hurriedly.
Ji Xiaotang slowly looked out the door and felt a very bad premonition in his heart.
Before the servant could finish his words, he could hear the sound of boots outside. In a moment, a figure appeared at the door.
"Ayou!" Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen said in surprise.
The person who came was Qi Younian.
Qi Younian was wearing full armor. He stood at the door with an expressionless face and did not enter the house immediately.
Qi Younian was not here alone, at this time. Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang had already heard the very neat footsteps outside. At least one team of people had already grown up and drove straight into the An Prince's Mansion and guarded the yard.
This is still the case in the yard, who knows what happens outside the mansion?
The official who was delivering the order saw Qi Younian and immediately showed a flattering look on his face. He trotted to Qi Younian and saluted Qi Younian.
"Duke Zhenguo is here, I'll pay you my respects." In front of Qi Younian, the official in this state was not as reserved as a eunuch, and he was very pleased with Qi Younian.
Qi Younian nodded lightly and then stepped into the house.
"Please set off now." Qi Younian walked to Qin Zhen and said coldly.
"Ayou..."
Qi Younian turned slightly and clasped his fists in the direction of the Forbidden Palace: "It's late at night, and there is something to worry outside. According to the order of the Queen Mother, he escorted the prince out of the capital to the imperial tomb. If the prince gave some instructions, I brought the imperial city army outside."
Qi Younian came in accordance with the will of Empress Dowager Han, because he was worried that Qin Zhen would not leave according to Empress Dowager Han's will and wanted to force Qin Zhen to leave the capital.
He said that the Imperial City Army was waiting for Qin Zhen’s orders outside, but he was just showing Qin Zhen a tactfully that there were not only imperial palace guards here. He also brought the Imperial City Army. If Qin Zhen tried to resist, there would be no good results.
With the current strength of the royal palace, it may be okay to deal with a team of imperial guards, but if the Imperial City Army is added to the Imperial City Army..., the Imperial City Army is no longer the same as the previous Imperial City Army.
Most of the thousand elite soldiers brought back by Qi Younian were charged into the Imperial City Army.
The An Mansion wanted to fight against the Imperial Army and the Imperial City Army under Qi Younian. After all, it was bloody, and the result was very unoptimistic.
Moreover, Qi Younian has not only the soldiers of the Imperial City Army, but who knows where the five battalions outside the city have arrived at this moment!
Qin Zhen laughed.
"Ayou..." Ji Xiaotang stepped forward and frowned slightly.
Qi Younian's eyes fell on Ji Xiaotang's face, and his expression suddenly became much softer.
"...It is done by the Queen Mother's will~ The matter. King Su has already left the city in one step."
Qi Younian was telling Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang that the decree of Empress Dowager Han was not only directed at Qin Zhen. And King Su Qinlin had already surrendered.
Qin Zhen had no other way to go.
Qin Zhen sighed secretly, turned his head and held Ji Xiaotang's hand.
The couple looked at each other in four eyes.
"Since it is the order of the Queen Mother, let's work hard for a few days. Please rest assured, the prince here, I will take good care of Ying'er and Xuan'er." Ji Xiaotang said to Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen did not speak, but turned his gaze to Qi Younian.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Xiaotang is naturally here." Qi Younian said immediately.
Qin Zhen laughed.
"I feel relieved with Ayou's words." Qin Zhen said the truth.
When he left the capital, he didn't know what kind of bloody storm would be there. When he turned around again, if he could still turn around alive, there would be another world in the capital.
But as long as Qi Younian is here, Ji Xiaotang will not be in danger.
Qin Zhen was very confident about this.
However, only Qin Zhen himself knew how he felt when he said this.
Qin Zhen had a lot to say to Ji Xiaotang, but Qi Younian did not tolerate him at this time.
"I want to meet Xuan'er." Qin Zhen said to Qi Younian.
Qi Younian hesitated a little and nodded.
Xuan'er was sleeping soundly on the kang. Qin Zhen did not wake Xuan'er up, but just kissed Xuan'er gently on the face and turned around and left. He turned around and moved a little anxiously, and then he didn't even bring a piece of changing clothes with him. He left the palace under Qi Younian's escort.
Qin Zhen left, the central officials and the imperial guards who came to pass the order withdrew, and the imperial army in the yard also left with Qi Younian.
But Ji Xiaotang soon knew that there was an imperial army patrolling outside the gate of Prince An's mansion.
The Imperial City Army is not a rare thing to patrol at night, but it was the first time that these troops were sent to wander in front of the gate of Prince An’s mansion.
Ji Xiaotang knew that the Imperial City Army surrounded her Prince An’s mansion.
Knowing all this, Ji Xiaotang calmed down. At this moment, she was the backbone of Prince An's mansion. Seeing Ji Xiaotang like this, the people in Prince An's mansion gradually calmed down.
This sleepless night for many people is unknown, and the An Palace is quiet. It is no different from the past.
The next day, Ji Xiaotang brought Qin Ying into the palace just like he had nothing to do.
Empress Dowager Han did not appear in the mourning hall.
Ji Xiaotang saw Zheng Gui.
Although Zheng Gui applied powder, she could not hide the darkness under her eyes. She came forward to speak to Ji Xiaotang and told Ji Xiaotang that Qin Lin received the order from Empress Dowager Han last night and left the city to the imperial tomb overnight.
"... I was already late when I came back, covered in dust. Before I could change my clothes. I had a bite of hot meal, I was called away by an order... Not only did the imperial guards go, but also the imperial army of Duke Zhenguo, it was so majestic..." Zheng Gui's tone was full of ridicule, but she still couldn't hide her true emotions.
Zheng Gui was very uneasy, anxious, and seemed to be a little excited.
"The same is true for our prince." Ji Xiaotang told Zheng Gui.
Zheng Gui obviously knew about this, but his face still showed an exaggerated expression of surprise.
"It turns out that the Empress Dowager usually feels sorry for you and Prince An, all of them are fake!" Zheng Gui looked at Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang snorted softly.
Zheng Gui looked around and looked around.
They all sent people to the palace to go away. The people who served in this room were the two of them the most confidant.
"...I was frightened and I always felt something was going to happen. Xiaotang, are you afraid?"
Ji Xiaotang nodded.
"Their brothers will not come back these days. Xiaotang, why don't you bring Xuan'er and Ying'er to Prince Su's mansion and be your companion with me and Yu'er. The people from our two mansions gather together. If there is really something wrong, it's easy to deal with it, right?" Zheng Gui looked at Ji Xiaotang seriously and said in a low voice.
"Xiaotang, it's not that I don't go to Prince An's Mansion. The terrain of Prince Su's Mansion is better than that of Prince An's Mansion, and it's easier to defend but hard to attack." Zheng Gui's appearance can be said to be loyal to Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang sighed softly.
"Sister Gui thinks. Do we still have the freedom to move?"
Zheng Gui glanced at Ji Xiaotang: "The Imperial City Army...Duke Zhenguo..."
Ji Xiaotang understood what Zheng Gui was referring to.
"Duke Zhenguo is the Duke Zhenguo enthroned by the Queen Mother, and he is only loyal to the Queen Mother. Didn't Sister Gui understand it yet?"
Zheng Gui looked at Ji Xiaotang, and his eyes seemed to flash.
"Xiaotang, if you believe me, I will take Xuan'er and Ying'er to the back door of the palace at the third update tonight. I have my own way. Xiaotang, you are the one who understands the most. Now that things have come to this point, we can only overcome the difficulties and survive this disaster by working together."
Ji Xiaotang lowered his eyelids and was speechless for a while.
On this day, Ji Xiaotang complained and took Ying'er back to Prince An's mansion in advance. In fact, it was nothing if she was not sick at all. Queen Mother Han was not seen at all. Among the wife, she and Zheng Gui were the most expensive. She was about to leave, but no one cared about it.
Zheng Gui disappeared at some point.
That night, Ji Xiaotang lie down in the room and clothes on the Yichun Hall.
She did not let Ying'er, Xuan'er and Qijin go back to their room to sleep, but left all three children in their house. At this moment, all three children were sleeping soundly, but Ji Xiaotang opened his eyes and had no trace of sleepiness.
