Only then did Sima Zhi remembered that he had a "one-time relationship" with this woman. He once met him in Wangxiang Tower, and he left a deep impression on him at that time.

The woman who was called "the emperor's niece" by Xiao Ling was the daughter of Queen Mother He today, and the eldest princess Xiao Zhan of the Qi Dynasty. Sima thought that Xiao Zhan, as the eldest princess, would come to such a small courtyard with the Cao Gang people.

Judging from Xiao Zhan's outfit, her trip should have been a secret operation, and it is likely to be for Xie Rumo's rebellion. Now the palace is in danger, and Xiao Zhan should have been in the palace, so he doesn't know why he appeared here.

Sima Jie was not as obsessed as Xiao Ling. When he saw Xiao Zhan, he first thought about Xiao Zhan’s purpose. At this time, Xiao Zhan had already come to Daxiliu, and Sima Jie just bowed and looked very calm.

"Prince Sima." Xiao Zhan actually returned the gift to Sima, which made Sima feel "flattered".

Sima thought to himself, could Xiao Zhan be "kidnapped" by someone like Xiao Ling?

At this time, Daxiliu had already stepped forward and after saluting, he said, "Princess Yongdan is going out with Master Zhu to mobilize troops to suppress the treacherous slander in the Qi Dynasty. Now Master Zhu is about to come back, Princess Yongdan will go to the city first to check the situation."

After hearing Da Xiliu's words, he recalled the "close relationship" between Qi Dynasty and Jiangdu before, Sima Yi guessed that it was probably suppressing Xie Rumo's party, and Empress Dowager He and Zhu Tongjing were already standing with Jiangdu. Because Qi Dynasty lent grain to Jiangdu, Jiangdu was also helping Qi Dynasty quell the internal rebellion.

But itself, Jinling is the territory of the Qi people. No matter how many people the Jiangdu sent to come, it would be useless. Moreover, Jiangdu would not disclose his detailed divisions in Jinling City, because today he helped the Qi people to quell the internal rebellion, and tomorrow the Qi people would take Jiangdu as the number one enemy. The short-term alliance in wartime is a very delicate relationship, which is to help allies and to keep a low profile, making the other party think that they are "just like this."

But now Xiao Zhan is relieved to come to the secret stronghold of the Cao Gang with Daxiliu, which also shocked Sima Yi. As a woman, Xiao Zhan is also the eldest princess of the Qi Dynasty. Such a "risk" and he also has the coolness of a hero.

"Several people, you might as well talk in it." At this time, Dong Sheng emerged. As the second leader of the Cao Gang, he did not have much knowledge. His prestige in the Cao Gang mainly stems from being a hero of the Cao Gang. The management of the Cao Gang also mainly relies on Feng Ju, the leader of the Cao Gang.

"Dangdang family, you have to be polite." Daxi Liu said, "We have seen Prince Sima and King Hui leave. We were going to send Prince Sima out of the city today. Now we have to wait a little longer. We also have to pick up our prince..."

From this sentence, Sima seemed to hear something again.

The cooperation between Qi Dynasty and Jiangdu was obviously related to internal "interest involvement". The Cao Gang kidnapped King Hui Xiao Ling, which indirectly made Jiang have bargaining chips to negotiate with the people of Qi Dynasty. Empress Dowager He and Zhu Tongjing's party may not care about Xiao Ling's life and death, but about the military power in his hands. Once Xiao Ling dies or suffers a tragic accident, Xiao Ling's soldiers may surrender to Xie Rumo, or they may have troops to stand up. Xiao Ling becomes a key figure in the city.

The main reason why Jiangdu is willing to help Empress Dowager He's party is the hostages seized by the Qi people, that is, he and Yang Xi. Now the two sides can stand on the same side, not only because there is a exchange of interests, but also because Jiangdu and Qi both want to exchange for a relatively stable external environment to calm the internal chaos. At this time, Qi was afraid that Jiangdu would not have any foreign enemies invaded, but instead took advantage of the internal troubles of Jinling to send troops to occupy several important cities in Jiangbei.

Sima thought of this and bowed and said, "Please go quickly, please go there too. You can wait here with peace of mind."

Sima borrowing means very simple. I am not in a hurry to leave. You guys are working on yours first. After finishing the work, I will leave with Prince Yang Xi.

Xiao Zhan didn't say much, and even ignored Xiao Ling's questions. She was also carrying tasks. Her mother, brothers and sisters, including the young emperor of the Qi Dynasty, were besieged in the palace. If the troops came for a while, the palace might be captured, and then chaos would appear within the Qi Dynasty, including some royal relatives, and she would rebel. She would not have time to stay here for a long time.

Da Xiliu and Xiao Zhan left in a hurry. Obviously, there was some kind of cooperation between them, and they were not known to outsiders.

Dong Sheng did not leave, stayed, looked at the direction of the door, and said to Sima Yi: "Brother Sima, don't worry, it's very stable here. We have sent many brothers to stare at this place in secret. If anyone comes, we can take it down immediately."

Sima Yi nodded slightly, while Xiao Ling on the side was muttering to himself. He still didn't understand the current situation. Yesterday, Jinling City was still in good condition. In one day, it was time to pay off the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, but the city felt like it was full of war.

...

...

On the Mid-Autumn Festival night of August 15th, Han Jian and his family were also reunited and enjoying the moon.

A year ago, Han Jian and Han were alone, but now in just one year, he has married three wives and concubines, and two beautiful girls from heaven are by their side.

But he was not satisfied with this.

That night, Yang Ronger rarely put down her airs and went to the Dongwang Mansion with Han Jian to have a family dinner together. Han Jian's concubines were also very happy, but they like Gu Xiner more, so Yang Ronger herself felt neglected. She didn't care much. She didn't understand what happened in the Dongwang Mansion on the first day. With her own personality, she didn't care much about what others treat her, but Han Jian still cared very much.

Originally, Han Song asked Han Jian and his beautiful wife to enjoy the moon, but Han Jian was concerned about the news from the south at this time.

Judging from the close information in the past few days, the incident occurred in Jinling only took place in one or two days. After Zhu Tongjing left Jinling and disappeared, Han Jian had already notified Daxiliu and asked her to strictly monitor every move in Jinling City. Later, Zhu Tongjing took the initiative to contact the spies in Jiangdu to convey the message to Han Jian, indicating that he would immediately eliminate Xie Rumo's party.

Han Jian knew very well that Xie Rumo was not a good-looking lamp. When this tiger felt danger, it would definitely take the lead and would never wait for Zhu Tongjing to transfer his troops back to Jinling before taking action. Based on several analysis, Han Jian realized that Zhu Tongjing led his troops back to Jinling around August 15th. Xie Rumo was anxious to jump over the wall, so it should be around here.

"My husband, if you are tired, you can go and take a rest first. I'm fine."

Seeing that Han Jian was careless, Yang Ronger thought Han Jian was annoyed by the family's noise, so she persuaded her.

Han Jian sat on a chair in the main hall, grabbed Yang Ronger's hand, and smiled and said, "It's rare for a family to be together, how can you be tired? Go out together to enjoy the moon together."

"No need, what's the beauty of a moon? However, I think of my father and mother far away in Yuzhou." Yang Ronger seemed to have some feelings and couldn't help but sigh.

Han Jian understood Yang Xinger's state of mind. When she came to Jiangdu, she would be a road without returning. If she married an ordinary family and went back to Yuzhou to visit her, it would be very simple. But when she was in Jiangdu and in the Eastern Prince's Mansion, it would be difficult for her to leave Jiangdu City, let alone go back to her parents' home. Once she entered the Marquis' Gate, she was as deep as the sea, and as for the gate of the Prince's Mansion, it was even more unsatisfied.

"My husband, it seems that someone is coming." Yang Rong'er suddenly seemed to turn her mind and said in the direction of the main courtyard.

The instructor of the Eastern Prince's Mansion had already brought people to the main hall. Han Song first met him, but it was Yi Die.

Yi Die was originally a Buku envoy, and in terms of level, he was not enough to enter the Dongwang Mansion and did not need to be informed. When Han Jian saw Yi Die, he realized that Yi Die was doing something on behalf of the queen or conveying some information. As long as she had the token of the Queen, the guards and the door of the Dongwang Mansion could not stop it.

"Every Buku?" Han Jian stood up and greeted the door of the main hall.

Yi Die stood proudly, holding an object like an edict in his hand. When Han Jian saw Yi Die not respecting him, he was even more sure that she was acting on behalf of the sky.

"King Dong, Your Majesty has a secret order to pass on it, please take it." Yi Die said.

Han Jian bowed and took the edict handed over by Yi Die. He opened it and took a look, but only a few words of irrelevant Buddhist verses. Han Jian looked at it and didn't understand it very well. Is the queen preparing to become a monk?

"Empress Yibuku, what else does Your Majesty have to say?" Han Jian asked, looking at Yidie.

If there were any code words in this secret decree, Han Jian believed that the queen would not notify Yu Yidie.

Yi Die said: "Your Majesty summoned the Prince of Dong and the Princess of the County to go to the bedroom to meet the emperor."

Want to see you again? Han Jian frowned slightly, things seemed not that simple.

The queen has been very evading to meet him recently. She will not come to summon him in person if there is no major event, let alone summon him together with Han Song.

In the official terms, the "county princess" of the Dongwang Mansion refers only to Han Song, because Han Song is also the actual person in charge of the Dongwang Mansion in the past. Among so many female relatives in the Dongwang Mansion, she is also the highest official rank.

"Second, it seems we are going to go to His Majesty's bedroom." Han Jian said.

Han Song nodded. He was originally a family gathered together, dressed neatly and gorgeously, and he could set off without having to clean up.

Han Jian just casually explained to Gu Xin'er and Yang Rong'er, and then went to the Queen's Bedroom with Han Song with Yidie.

When Han Jian arrived outside the small hall next to the Queen's Bedroom, he could feel a depressing aura. Han Jian couldn't guess why the Queen summoned him on the Mid-Autumn Festival. When he saw that the guards inside and outside the Queen's Bedroom were still the same group, they should not have any "indiscretion" to him.

"Dongwang, Princess of the County, please." Yi Die arrived at the entrance of the hall and did not dare to go in casually, but just saluted.
