His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been idle before, but now he is thinking about the country. This is naturally good, but it always makes people feel a little strange.

Liang Ji, Wei Shen, and Qin Ruilan all looked at Si Nanping, wanting to see his reaction.

Si Nanping frowned and muttered in a low voice: "Lu Huiling entered the palace as a concubine. His Royal Highness led all the officials to donate their salaries. What about Lu Gaohong? What did Lu Gaohong do?"

"If Lu Huiling entered the palace as a concubine just to take revenge on Huan Qing, would Lu Gaohong agree? Without Lu Gaohong, Lu Huiling would have no chance to contact the emperor." Qin Ruilan said suddenly.

Si Nanping raised his head and looked at Qin Ruilan. Their eyes met. He nodded and said, "Miss Qin is really smart."

"But what does the matter in the court have to do with Lu Huiling? If Lu Gaohong sends Lu Huiling into the palace for His Royal Highness, how can he guarantee that this step will really be useful?" Qin Ruilan asked again.

"Because of Empress Mingxian." Si Nanping said calmly, "Lu Huiling is very similar to Empress Mingxian. It is not impossible to dress her up and pretend to be the real one so that the emperor can see her thinking about Mingxian."

"Is Lu Huiling willing to enter the palace just for His Highness the Crown Prince?" Qin Ruilan looked around at the people present and said awkwardly, "The Emperor is about the same age as Lu Gaohong, besides..."

Qin Ruilan mentioned this, and everyone here naturally understood that the emperor was old and frail, and he might have to leave Hexi soon... Lu Huiling spent his whole life on this matter, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

not worth it.

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, will it be good for Lu Huiling?" Si Nanping posed a possibility, "It's like... he can take personal revenge. Lu Huiling's purpose is not only for the Crown Prince, but also for revenge against Huan Qing."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now has an advantage. He is in the position of Crown Prince, occupying the East Palace, and is proud of himself in the court hall. There are people on the Emperor's pillow blowing wind in his ears. This is not good for both King Jing and Huan Qing." Qin Ruilan said straightforwardly.

The few people here are all our own, so there is no need to be secretive.

"Qi Jingyang wants to compete with Qi Jingqin for the throne?" Liang Ji frowned and listened silently, then suddenly asked.

"Prince Jing has always been competing with His Highness the Crown Prince." Si Nanping glanced at Liang Ji and said leisurely, "Before, I always thought that His Highness the Crown Prince was incompetent and unworthy of being the crown prince, so Prince Jing thought he could take his place.

For the sake of the people of the world, and also for the sake of the century-old foundation of the country and the country, now... I can't take it anymore."

"Then what should we do?" Liang Ji asked.

Although Liang Ji used to stand in a neutral position like Liang Fengmian, the battle for the throne now affects Liang Huanqing's safety. If Qi Jingyang ascends the throne, not to mention Qi Jingyang will not let Qi Jingqin go, Liang Huanqing will also be persecuted. Lu Hui

When the time comes, Ling will definitely not let Liang Huanqing go.

At this time, Liang Ji felt from the bottom of his heart that Qi Jingqin might really be more suitable to be the emperor than His Highness the Crown Prince. Qi Jingyang would only work hard for a while at best. Maybe he would become a tyrant and a foolish king after taking office, and he would have to discuss everything with Lu Gaohong. By then, the royal family of the Celestial Dynasty would be afraid that

It’s going to be Lu.

Now it seems that Lu Gaohong and Lu Huiling don't have a fuel-efficient lamp. The Liang family believes that letting Qi Jingqin lead the army will be conducive to making achievements and making the emperor change his mind. Who knows that the Lu family thinks the same way. They want to get away from the court after Qi Jingqin leaves for Beijing.

During these days in the Tang Dynasty, he firmly held the political power in his hands, and Lu Huiling was just a pawn in Lu Gaohong's hands.

Si Nanping lowered his head and pondered. After listening to Liang Huanqing's explanation of what happened in the palace, several of them began to realize that the matter was not as simple as they thought, and was probably quite difficult.

"Lu Huiling is the most beneficial stepping stone on the way to the prince's rise. With her here, the emperor will naturally think of the Mingxian Queen in the past. It will be twice the result with half the effort for the prince to be appreciated by the emperor." Si Nanping murmured to himself.

"What if Lu Huiling is gone?" Qin Ruilan asked.

Si Nanping looked at Qin Ruilan: "Do you have any idea?"

Qin Ruilan shook his head and said: "Lu Huiling is in the palace compound and is now the emperor's favorite concubine. Although Princess Jing was imprisoned, she was not punished. The emperor must have put all his debts to Queen Mingxian on Lu Huiling.

She's on her. We're just a minister, so how can we deal with her?"

"If Lu Huiling was not here, the things His Highness the Crown Prince had done alone would probably not be enough for the Emperor to take him so seriously. In the past few days, Lu Gaohong also summoned the ministers to write a letter praising the Crown Prince, which made the Crown Prince even more outstanding." Liang Ji and Wei

They looked at each other deeply, lowered their heads and said.

They know that the current situation is powerless for their own party, but there is no way to change the status quo.

After Si Nanping heard what Liang Ji said, he suddenly laughed, as if he had come up with some good idea.

Liang Ji, Wei Shen, and Qin Ruilan looked at each other and asked: "What did Mr. Si think of?"

Si Nanping immediately changed his dejected and meditative look, and instantly waved his folding fan and smiled like a spring breeze. He smiled at them and said, "What Lu Gaohong did is not very advanced."

Hearing what he said, Liang Ji and others were confused and couldn't understand what he was talking about. Lu Gaohong summoned the ministers to remonstrate and praise the prince in front of the emperor, probably just to increase the emperor's favor for the prince and stabilize the status of the crown prince.

Bit.

"Lu Gaohong's trip was too hasty. He wanted to quickly establish the image of His Highness the Crown Prince as diligent and serving the people in front of the Emperor. But now that the Emperor is still in office, if someone points out that the Crown Prince has gone too far, he will be more popular among the courtiers than the Emperor. I'm afraid that

Lu Gaohong can't save the prince, and even Lu Gaohong himself will be implicated." Everyone here understands this truth.

After hearing what Si Nanping said, several people had a profound enlightenment.

"Then who is going to point out the prince's overstepping of rank?" Qin Ruilan could tell what Si Nanping wanted to do, so she asked bluntly.

Si Nanping raised his hands and said politely to Qin Ruilan: "This matter will cause trouble to your father."

"My father?" Qin Ruilan asked back, "My father has always followed General Liang's position. Everyone in the court knows that my family has good relations with the Liang family. If my father raises the shortcomings of His Highness, wouldn't it be obvious to the emperor soon?

Are the two princes fighting?"

"Having said that, Master Qin and General Liang are both loyal ministers and good generals, so it is more appropriate for Master Qin to name them." Si Nanping said with cupped hands.

Qin Ruilan still felt that something was wrong in her heart. Although Si Nanping's words made sense, things were different now.

Qi Jingqin and Liang Fengmian are both far away at the border. Although the emperor is often concerned about him, there is Lu Huiling in the harem. If she knew that Qin Yuandao was openly talking about Qi Jingyang, then the emperor might be in trouble if he listens to Lu Huiling now.

It was Qin Yuandao.

"But there is Lu Huiling in the harem. Has Mr. Si forgotten about this?" Seeing Qin Ruilan's silence, Wei Shen could see her worries at a glance. Although it was also for Liang Huanqing's sake, he still had to protect himself first.

Yes, and besides, this matter is really inappropriate.

"Yes." Liang Ji also felt that what Si Nanping said was inappropriate, "If Mr. Qin is really implicated because of Lu Huiling's design at this time, I'm afraid Huanqing will also feel uneasy."

Si Nanping frowned and lowered his head. He did not think comprehensively. He only thought about making King Jing comeback and support King Jing to ascend the throne. This was what he had been working hard for, but when Liang Huanqing was involved, he began to become less so.

Be sensible.

"Miss Qin, I was very rude just now, and I hope you can forgive me." Si Nanping pondered for a while, and then said politely to Qin Ruilan.

Qin Ruilan stared at Si Nanping in front of him, as if he could clearly see the intention behind him. He always felt that he was not only planning this matter for Prince Jing. When he knew that Huanqing might be implicated because of this matter, he felt...

Even more anxious.

"Mr. Si, I hope you can be more sensible and don't do anything beyond your reach." Qin Ruilan said such a sentence out of nowhere, and everyone was a little surprised.

But both Qin Ruilan and Si Nanping knew what she was talking about.

Si Nanping was silent for a while, then raised his hands and said, "Thank you, Miss Qin, for reminding me. I'll keep it in mind."

After all, Liang Huanqing is the princess. Si Nanping must not have any wrong thoughts about her. He just wants to protect her silently. Now that Prince Jing is not around, she was persecuted by Lu Huiling as soon as she entered the palace, which made him worried and anxious.

.

This is Xiaoer coming back from Linlang Garden. Qin Ruilan saw it and stood up and said: "It's getting late now. Since Huanqing has returned safely, let's leave this matter as it is for now. General Liang and Prince Jing are far away at the border.

Only by returning safely can we solve the current situation. I will take my leave now."

"I'll take you back." Wei Shen also stood up and said.

Qin Ruilan's words were considered reasonable. After thinking for a while, several people thought it made sense, and they all agreed: "Okay, in that case, let's go back first."

Liang Ji nodded: "I still have to tell my father about this matter, and I must not act rashly."

Si Nanping nodded: "I just went overboard."

After Liang Ji and the others left, Si Nanping sat in the main hall, drinking tea silently, thinking about how he could help Liang Huanqing get revenge on Lu Huiling.

At this moment, Sinan Ping, who had always advocated staying away from the court, suddenly had the idea of ​​joining the court as an official, just to be able to protect the people he wanted to protect.

Liang Huanqing couldn't sleep all night, so he could take a nap with Yuebai by his side, but he was always so groggy that he couldn't fall asleep.

"Yuebai! Yuebai!" Liang Huanqing could see Jiang Yi's tragic death as soon as she closed her eyes. She stretched out her hand and danced wildly, calling Yuebai's name.

Yuebai was sitting aside looking at Jiang Yi's jade in her hand. When she heard the princess calling her, she quickly stepped forward and grabbed her hand and said, "I'm here, princess, and the servant is here."
