"Let's wait outside the Holy King's Palace." Si Ningchi said with a sideways command, calling Su Yun to go inside and dress up for him.
After Si Ningchi gave birth, she didn't see anyone else. Even Concubine De and Concubine Shu were blocked by Zhao Zongheng. He had to wait until Siningchi had recovered enough before he was willing to let her move around.
Now that Zhao Yuanzhen has been found, Zhao Zongheng must be aware of it, so Zhao Yuanzhen must be there for something.
After Si Ningchi finished dressing up and came out, Zhao Yuanzhen had already drank half a cup of tea.
Seeing Si Ningchi, she didn't have the slightest bit of impatience to wait. Apart from the emperor, the only person in the palace who could make Zhao Yuanzhen sit and wait was her, Si Ningchi.
"I have troubled the Queen, please forgive me." Zhao Yuanzhen bowed to Si Ningchi and saluted.
"Uncle Huang is so polite, I am not used to it." Si Ningchi looked at Zhao Yuanxi and raised his eyebrows, smiled, waved for more tea, and then dismissed the palace man. Then he looked at Zhao Yuanxi and asked: "Uncle Huang
If you have anything to do here, just tell me."
Zhao Yuanzhen thanked Si Ningchi, then sat down and took out a letter from his sleeve and said: "This is what General Han sent back with the imperial edict, saying it was to be given to the Queen.
"
Zhao Yuanzhen did not hide it. When he learned that Han Yulang had requested an order to go to Weihai, he went to the palace to ask Zhao Zongheng for details. By the way, he took over the job of delivering the letter and came to Fengwu Palace in person.
The Yu State was in a sudden change, and activities were very frequent in the Weihai area, and a war was inevitable.
It was not Han Yulang's turn to go to the sea battle this time, but Han Yulang probably avoided the Holy King and did not want to return to the capital, so he took the initiative to ask for help, and invited himself to Weihai under the slogan of going to study and help.
"When did the Holy King take up the job of delivering letters?" Si Ningchi stabbed him a few words, reached out and took the envelope, without avoiding Zhao Yuanzhen, he just opened it and looked at it twice, his lips curled up.
He said with a slight smile: "General Han invited himself to Weihai?"
"Is the Emperor unwilling?" The letter didn't say much. The first part was full of trivial words of concern and greetings, and the second part was asking Si Ningchi to intercede and get the Emperor to grant her request.
"Whether the Emperor is willing or not, isn't it all a matter of a few words from the Queen?" Zhao Yuanzhen lowered his eyes and smiled.
"Then it seems that the Holy King knows what is written in General Han's letter." Si Ningchi raised the letter in his hand and said to Zhao Yuanzhen: "The emperor's uncle personally sent it to this palace. It shouldn't be
It’s as simple as delivering letters and running errands.”
"What are the plans of the Holy King?" Si Ningchi asked again.
"I heard that the Queen has recently been investigating the step-wife of the Marquis of Xiwu." Zhao Yuanzhen did not hesitate and said straight to the point: "Although the king has brought Si Qiong Lian into the palace over the years, it has only been for supervision.
"
"Now this matter should be settled." Zhao Yuanzhen said with some helplessness: "It's just that I never found a suitable opportunity before, until I learned that Liu had given birth a few months ago..."
Si Ningchi sent a man to accuse him of being an adulterer, and also said that the Liu family's child was not the Marquis of Xiwu's.
Because of this matter, Si Qionglian made a fuss in the palace for a long time, and wanted to go to the palace to seek an explanation for his mother. In the end, he was locked up by Zhao Yuanzhen, so that the fuss did not reach the ears of Si Ningchi.
Zhao Yuanzhen continued: "I believe that the Queen will not cause such a farce for no reason, so during this period of time, I secretly investigated the origin of this Liu family and made some new discoveries."
"The Queen is really clever, and the young master of Xiwuhou Mansion is really not from Xiwuhou."
"..."
Should I say it or not, Si Ningchi really admired Zhao Yuanzhen.
Is it some kind of strange halo?
How could she find out things that she couldn't find so clearly in Zhao Yuanzhen's hands?
"That's not the point." Zhao Yuanzhen didn't care about the family affairs of the Marquis of Xiwu at all. The reason why he came today was: "Perhaps Si Qionglian is not Si Yirong's biological child."
"What did you say?" Si Ningchi's eyes widened in astonishment, and he looked at Zhao Yuanzhen in disbelief.
"Could it be that the Holy King was just making this up to get rid of Si Qionglian?" Si Ningchi was amused.
"Why can't it be?"
Zhao Yuanzhen looked at Si Ningchi calmly and said this.
Si Ningchi's expression was slightly shaken, and he looked at Zhao Yuanzhen for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "Uncle Huang is really interesting. If Uncle Huang had such ruthlessness and courage in the early years, how could he bore General Han?
Where is it now?"
Zhao Yuanxi moved his lips and said after a long time: "...I have my own responsibility. I have never been able to find out everything about the death of the late emperor. The death of the late empress was also the emperor's heart disease."
"Now that the Cui family has surfaced, all the clues can be traced." This time Zhao Yuanzhen sincerely praised Si Ningchi and said: "Now it only takes some time, and I can completely eliminate the people behind the scenes."
"The dynasty is stable and the prince has been established."
"Queen, I have nothing to fear."
There was a rare relaxation in his eyebrows, the trace of gloom disappeared, and even Zhao Yuanzhen's smile seemed much more sincere.
Zhao Yuanzhen revealed a little bit of information, which Si Ningchi accurately captured. He immediately frowned and asked, "What the emperor meant is that there is someone behind the Cui family."
If you think about it, you will know how he could walk so easily with just the strength of a woman named Cui.
"Who is it?" Si Ningchi asked in a deep voice.
Zhao Yuanzhen shook his head, obviously unable to give an accurate answer yet.
Si Ningchi frowned slightly, his thoughts turned to Si Qionglian, and after a long while he said: "Since the Holy King gave such a result, and also came to tell me, what does he want me to do?"
"I need the Queen's help." Zhao Yuanzhen said bluntly: "I heard that the Queen sent Qin's consort to Bian Yang. I want to cooperate with the Queen to make this matter true and false.
how?"
"I never thought that I would one day cooperate with you." Si Ningchi glanced at Zhao Yuanzhen, raised his chin and called out: "Come here, bring me some pen and ink."
Si Ningchi wrote a letter with his own hand, and ordered someone to fetch the token and hand it to Zhao Yuanzhen together, saying: "When the matter is completed, I want Si Qionglian's life."
Zhao Yuanzhen paused, then calmly reached out his hand to take it and said: "I obey the order."
After Zhao Yuanzhen left, Si Ningchi looked at Han Yulang's letter on the table for a long time, and finally went to see Zhao Zongheng to intercede for Han Yulang. She didn't think it was a good thing for Han Yulang to return to Beijing. Since she wanted to go to Weihai, she would send her off.
go.
Si Ningchi met Zhao Yuanzhen, and Concubine De and others knew that the Empress had been able to see people. Naturally, everyone heard about it and came to pay their respects to the Empress and meet the Crown Prince by the way.
Fengwu Palace was very lively for a while. Concubine De and others took turns to see the crown prince. If they saw that the child was still young, they would definitely stretch out their hands to hug him.
