Qin Xuejian came very quickly, and even though Jiang Sui was disguised, she still recognized her at a glance.
So many things have happened in this year. Qin Xuejian, this iceberg beauty, was so excited that he hugged her and said, "You finally returned safely."
A group of people successfully entered Pingcheng.
——————————————
King Beirong died, Beirong retreated, and Beirong was in civil strife!
One piece of news after another spread all over the world like it had wings.
The troops were already pressing down on Xiling, but they stopped taking action for the time being.
In the Shengjing Palace, the emperor was in high spirits. He felt that he was the chosen one, and he could turn such a situation into danger.
Of course, Yan Chu also took the opportunity to claim credit. For example, during the Beirong Rebellion, he unceremoniously took the credit for himself.
After the morning court, the emperor left him alone to talk.
"Ai Qing is so powerful, now that the assassination was successful." The emperor was half pleased and half tempted.
Yan Chu had long seen that the new emperor was not a man of magnanimity, so he quickly humbly said, "The main reason why it went so smoothly was because of the internal disputes in Beirong, which caused Concubine Yun to have different intentions. I just grasped this when analyzing the situation in the world.
"
The emperor showed a satisfied smile. He was more willing to believe this statement than Yan Chu's hands and eyes that could penetrate into Beirong.
After all, he was on guard against Yan Chu. The emperor said, "I will take note of your merits this time and reward them together in the future."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yan Chu lowered his eyes to hide the contempt in his eyes, playing the role of a qualified minister.
No matter how turbulent it is outside, the palace is still a paradise.
Queen Mother Xie and Jiang Youbai were playing chess in the pavilion and occasionally sipping tea. On the table next to them were snacks that were as good as those in the palace.
After a period of peaceful days without fighting against the world, Jiang Youbai's anger dissipated a lot, and his whole person became much calmer.
I also began to learn to enjoy life, watch the sunrise and sunset, flowers bloom and fade, and live ordinary days with flavor.
It's just that the recent news makes it difficult not to make people anxious.
The Queen Mother is the grandmother of King Luo, and the Queen Mother is from the Xie family. Jiang Youbai vaguely guessed that she is from the King of Luo family.
With this relationship, their peaceful lives are actually walking on thin ice.
Once the emperor and King Luo officially fell out, their debut was awkward.
Queen Mother Xie decisively put down the chess piece in her hand, "You are confused."
Jiang You held a sunspot between his white and green fingers, hesitating and not making a move, "Although it is a good thing that Beirong retreats, I don't know how long the peace on the surface of Daqi can last."
Queen Mother Xie smiled calmly and said, "Wuxu is too worried. The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge."
Seeing how calm and composed Jiang Youbai was, she also relaxed.
After the two talked for two rounds, they went back to the palace to rest.
As soon as Queen Mother Xie returned to the courtyard, she summoned her confidants and said, "Everything that needs to be prepared is ready. Be more alert recently."
"Don't worry, Queen Mother, arrangements have been made," the guard said.
This is the trump card specially left to her by the Xie family, and it is where the Xie family's strongest fighting power lies.
On the surface, the palace still maintains an orderly and leisurely appearance, but privately there is constant action.
This time, the Queen Mother went to see the Queen Mother in person and said, "Please leave first. I will have someone send you away secretly."
"I won't leave. I am his great-grandmother. No matter what happens to Daqi in the future, the emperor dares to touch me. He will definitely be disgraced by thousands of people and he will not dare to do anything to me." The Empress Dowager had her own ideas, "
Tomorrow I will set off to Dajue Temple to worship the Buddha."
If Daqi changes, she will hide in the temple. The emperor dare not do anything to her.
The Empress Dowager is already very old, and she has already lost sight of life and death after going through hardships. "You don't need to worry about me, just take care of yourself."
The Empress Dowager has always been a person with ideas, and when she heard her say this, she thanked the Empress Dowager for not dissuading her.
"I hope you will take care of yourself and wait until we meet again in King Luo one day." Queen Mother Xie said sincerely.
She believed that day would not be too far away.
The Empress Dowager Xie and the Empress Dowager held candles and talked in the middle of the night. After returning to the palace, the people in the palace began to rush.
Jiang Youbai noticed the unusual atmosphere, but didn't say anything.
She believed that Queen Mother Xie would not leave her alone and would definitely keep her promise.
She just quietly took care of her wedding ceremony and all her property.
This day, late at night.
A group of people and horses came straight towards the palace, and the eager sound of horse hooves disturbed the peace of the palace.
The entire palace was suddenly brightly lit, and the visitor was directly welcomed into the palace of Queen Mother Xie.
"I have met the Queen Mother." Xie Feng said. He is a retainer of the Xie family. Several generations of his family have been loyal to the Xie family. The Queen Mother is very familiar with him.
"Father sent you here. It seems that there will be great changes."
Xie Feng took out a letter and presented it to the Queen Mother Xie, "Please also ask the Queen Mother to read it."
It was dictated by Mr. Xie and written by Mr. Xie himself.
Queen Mother Xie read it quickly, with a look of surprise on her face. She took a deep breath to suppress the fluctuation in her heart, "What did dad say?"
Xie Feng said solemnly, "The old man asked me to tell the Fourth Miss that from now on you are free. You no longer live for anyone but yourself, the Fourth Miss of the Xie family."
"Miss Xie Si" is a strange and distant title, but it represents to me the time she most wants to go back to in her life.
From the Fourth Miss Xie to the Empress Xie and then to the Queen Mother Xie, she became more and more respected, and her life became more and more numb.
Now everything is finally coming to an end, and she is going to be the free Miss Xie Si.
Queen Mother Xie, who had no mood swings for a long time, had red eyes because of these words.
"This subordinate is responsible for taking the young lady home this time," Xie Feng said.
"I understand. You have worked hard on your journey. Go down and have a good rest first." Queen Mother Xie quickly calmed down.
She must leave, but she is the Queen Mother after all, and everything must be considered in the long run.
On the second day, in the sunny afternoon, Queen Mother Xie took Jiang Youbai to see off the Queen Mother who was paying homage to the Buddha.
Watching the carriage go away, Queen Mother Xie felt a little reluctant to leave.
She was able to survive the long journey in the palace. The two of them walked a long way in the palace together over the years without the support of the Empress Dowager.
"She is a very good elder." Queen Mother Xie sighed softly.
This departure is a farewell. She will not step too far into Shengjing in her lifetime, but she will always pray for the Empress Dowager and hope that she will always be healthy and safe.
Jiang Youbai stood beside her, "You seem to be particularly sad today."
Queen Mother Xie held her hand and stood facing the wind, "Youbai, it's time for everything to end."
Jiang Youbai's eyes lit up. She had finally waited for this sentence. She suppressed her excitement and asked, "What do you need from me?"
"You don't have to do anything, just follow me when the time comes." Queen Mother Xie said confidently.
After seeing off the Empress Dowager, the entire palace fell into a rush.
The emperor knew nothing about it. After all, Queen Mother Xie was very peaceful. After moving here, she never went out and lived a quiet life behind closed doors.
The emperor was naturally so happy that over time he almost forgot about the existence of this place.
