Qi Han was pushed into the center of the storm. No matter how powerful he was, his affair with the imperial concubine was still so bad that it was condemned and opposed by everyone.
The You family clearly supports Qi Han and is already in the same boat with him, while Shen Xingwan, the legendary future princess, has taken refuge in Taoism.
Things are getting more and more interesting.
Even Shen Xingwan was not quiet in the gym, and people kept coming to spy on her attitude.
Shen Xingwan was dressed in the clothes of a Taoist nun. "I want to go to the alchemy room. Bai Ling can just come with me. The others will stay."
She has always been too calm, and the two secret guards, Shiyi and Feiyan, one in the dark and one in the dark, have become much less defensive about her.
Shen Xingwan took Bai Ling to the alchemy room built on the back mountain. The Taoist boy opened the door. When she entered, she saw a jackdaw dressed as a Taoist priest.
"I've met the leader," Jackdaw said.
Shen Xingwan said, "No need to be too polite."
Jackdaw directly opened the secret door, and it turned out that Peach Blossom Mountain was one of Liu Ying's contact points.
"Your Majesty said that we will rescue you at all costs, even if a large army comes to the border and we meet each other." Jackdaw directly conveyed Fu Jingchao's meaning, "The Prince Regent is pressing on you step by step. Commander, what are you going to do?"
You can't really wait until the time of worship to run away.
Jiang Sui looked at the territory map of Xiling on the stone wall in the darkroom, and shot a silver needle at the northern territory without flicking his sleeve, "Originally I planned to fish in troubled waters and run away, but after yesterday I changed my mind. Since Qi Han personally took me
I got Xiling, so I have to play a big game with him."
Jackdaw reminded her, "There aren't many of us here."
Although there are spies and Liuying who are lurking here, there is no chance of winning if we try hard.
Jiang Sui raised his eyebrows and said, "It doesn't matter. There are many people who want to kill Qi Han. Let's just make good use of them."
Especially the emperor, who was originally so weak that he had almost no sense of existence, and he was already so old. I didn't expect that he suddenly jumped out yesterday and put Qi Han and Zuo Guifei on the pillar of shame in such a surprising way.
Now that Qi Han's reputation has been ruined, he has no choice but to force his way to the top.
The most powerful soldiers in Xiling are from the Luo family in Northern Xinjiang. If Qi Han wants to take the position, it depends on whether the Luo family agrees.
"The key now is the emperor. He doesn't look like he is ready to give up the throne." Jiang Sui analyzed seriously, "It also depends on whether the marriage between the Ninth Princess and Baijiang can be successful."
Even if the emperor has some brains, he shouldn't let this matter succeed.
"I want our team to plan an escape route according to the original plan." Jackdaw said.
He felt that Shen Xingwan's idea was too risky. If he got involved, he might get burned. He had to prepare a way out for her.
"Okay, let's each do our own thing." Jiang Sui nodded, and there was no conflict in the first place.
The two discussed some more details, and when the time was almost up, Jiang Sui returned to the room with a few freshly baked elixirs.
She was analyzing the situation in Xiling, watching the public opinion war between several factions, and waiting for the opportunity.
The next day, the Ninth Princess led people up the mountain to the Taoist temple.
She became much quieter and depressed, no longer as innocent and lively as when we first met her.
Shen Xingwan was dressed in Taoist robes and looked out of place.
The Ninth Princess smiled bitterly, "There is a commotion outside, but you are indifferent."
"I can't compete with anyone, so I won't compete at all. It's better to practice Taoism, which will save me a lot of worldly worries." Shen Xingwan's Buddhist Tao.
The Ninth Princess handed her an invitation and said, "In three days, I will hold a hairpin ceremony. I hope you can come to participate."
It should have been a happy thing, but there was no joy on Princess Ninth's face.
"Growing up is something worthy of congratulations. I will definitely bring a gift." Shen Xingwan accepted the invitation.
The Ninth Princess lowered her head like a withered rose, "Brother Emperor will issue a decree on that day to marry me to Luo Ye, the current border ambassador."
Shen Xingwan was a little surprised that the emperor would agree to the marriage. This marriage was obviously not good for him.
However, the emperor doesn't look like someone who plays his cards according to routines.
Shen Xingwan comforted her, "With the regent here, your life will be fine after you get married."
This kind of political marriage can still be very comfortable as long as the backers remain intact.
The Ninth Princess was silent for a long time before saying, "It's okay to leave, I'm so scared now..."
"What are you afraid of?" Shen Xingwan asked.
"Am I stupid?" Ninth Princess asked hurtly, "It's only now that I discovered that many people and things are different from what I imagined. People's hearts are really terrible."
Regarding the matter between Concubine Zuo and Qi Han, she still dared not ask Qi Han face to face why he did what he did, because she was afraid that she would not be able to bear the answer.
The factions outside were fighting so fiercely that she had already noticed the conflict between the royal family and Qi Han.
The royal family gave her life, and she was a royal princess. But she grew up under the protection of Qi Han for so many years.
She couldn't imagine that one day in the future, the two sides would actually meet each other at war. What would she do...
It is better to go far to the northern border and leave all the disputes in the imperial city.
Shen Xingwan couldn't bear to tell her that perhaps Northern Xinjiang would be the most critical place in the battle for the throne in the future.
Her marriage was not a relief, but she was burdened with more.
"Don't think so much, at least Ji Ji should be happy and dress up beautifully." Shen Xingwan picked a plum blossom and put it on her head.
Ninth Princess felt a little better, tilted her head and said, "If you are the one who will stand by his side in the future, then I will feel relieved."
Although she didn't like Shen Xingwan at first, she quickly recognized her after getting along for a short time.
Shen Xingwan kept laughing, thinking silently that she might be disappointed.
When the Ninth Princess left, Shen Xingwan gave her another box of rouge, and she left happily.
The previous box was filled with ingredients, and now this box is the antidote.
The Ninth Princess must be married to Northern Xinjiang alive, so that it is good for everyone.
Bai Ling looked at Princess Jiu's back disappearing into the mountains, and couldn't help but sigh, "It turns out that the princess can't help herself in her marriage."
"Not only was he unable to control himself, but it was good to be alive in the end." Shen Xingwan crushed the plum blossoms in his hand.
Under such a situation, Qi Han married her. If there were major changes or the alliance was broken, the Ninth Princess would become the target of surgery.
He was really cruel, pushing the Ninth Princess into such a pit of fire.
Sure enough, nine out of ten people who sit in that position are so-called "lonely people."
"Get ready and make up for it when the time comes." Jiang Sui was looking forward to seeing the emperor of Xiling.
Concubine Zuo should be present at such an occasion, but she is pregnant. Naturally, Qi Han will also be present, and even Miss Yousan, Bo Lili, should be invited.
This haircut ceremony is very lively and a big drama when I think about it.
Not only she is looking forward to it, but all the people who have received the banquet and those who have not received the banquet are also looking forward to it.
This hairpin banquet quickly became the most watched event in the imperial city.
