When Wang Chaner woke up again, she was already lying in the bedroom of Changchun Palace. She was very weak.
An extra wall was built in the dormitory so that the fire room at the back could burn coal and blow hot smoke into it. Although the whole dormitory could not be said to be as warm as spring, it was much better than the cold weather outside the palace.
Lu Qingxia held a fly whisk and sat on the embroidered pier in front of the cotton couch. Seeing Wang Chan'er wake up, he said: "Yesterday, a maid in the palace had an affair with a guard and gave birth to a son. The maid did not ask the Queen Mother for permission, so she ordered
The two adulterous dogs and the man were beaten to death with a cane, and the baby they gave birth to was taken out of the palace and given to a farmer in the countryside to be raised."
"Is this child still strong? Is the farmer who raised him a wealthy man?" Wang Chan'er asked weakly.
"The farmer's family is relatively well-off and will take good care of the child. The queen mother should not worry about this anymore. It is more important to get well as soon as possible. The queen mother has been bedridden for too long due to illness. If it hadn't been for your majesty during this time
Being entangled in trivial matters, it is difficult for the Queen Mother to hide her condition from Your Majesty." Lu Qingxia said in a calm tone.
"Since Ambassador Lu has arranged everything properly, the Ai family has nothing to worry about." Wang Chan'er said quietly.
Yao Xishui stood behind Lu Qingxia. Seeing that the Queen Mother's expression and reaction were normal, he relaxed a little. The matter was finally over for the time being. He whispered in Lu Qingxia's ear: "Sister Hongyu, please come over and say something."
If you want to see me for something, maybe you are worried about the situation on the north bank. There is nothing going on here. I will go to the city with Spring Shisanniang later."
Lu Qingxia lowered his voice and said to Yao Xishui: "Liang Emperor Zhu Yu was good at using cunning strategies to tell Zhi Gao to deal with it carefully and be careful about the little foundation he finally saved."
Yao Xishui nodded, indicating that she knew this truth, and immediately left the dormitory to find Chun Shisanniang. The two simply packed up, prepared their carriages and horses, and rushed to Donghua Gate.
…………
…………
The heavy snow has just stopped, and the city of Jinling is covered with white, covering everything that is rough and even ugly under the white snow; the beggars in the streets and alleys have also been expelled from the city, out of sight and out of mind.
However, the news of the destruction of the navy had spread in the streets and streets. Yao Xishui opened the car curtains and saw the people walking in the streets in a hurry. There was no trace of the joy and joy on their faces that the auspicious snow heralded a good harvest.
Nowadays, things are finally not peaceful and prosperous.
Yao Xishui and Su Hongyu both came from Wanhonglou. This is something that many people know. She and Chun Shisanniang went to General Li's house to find Su Hongyu to express their friendship as sisters. There was no need to avoid any suspicion.
After parking the carriage at the front house of the General's Mansion, Yao Xishui and Chun Shisanniang entered the house and went straight to the back house. However, they were still some distance away from the Shuqiu Building where Su Hongyu lived. They saw that the courtyard in the middle of the house was empty and could not be seen.
There were servants and maids walking around.
Yao Xishui glanced suspiciously at the personal maid sent by Su Hongyu to greet them at the door of the mansion: "What's going on in the mansion? Why can't anyone be seen here?"
"Madam has a distinguished guest coming, so she sent all the rest away." Su Hongyu's personal maid said.
Yao Xishui and Chun Shisanniang looked at each other, not knowing what kind of guests Su Hongyu would be so anxious to call them over to meet.
Pushing open the courtyard door and walking into the garden of Shuqiu Tower, Yao Xishui suddenly discovered that among the people standing behind the courtyard door, one of them was Kong Xirong. He subconsciously turned his hand and stabbed the dagger hidden in his sleeve.
Kong Xirong was prepared in advance and struck faster. He held Yao Xishui's wrist like lightning and said, "My lord has been waiting here for a long time. When Miss Yao disagreed, she drew her sword at her. She didn't understand the etiquette of welcoming guests.
?”
Yao Xishui's eyes were as beautiful as ice and she stared at Kong Xirong. Seeing that the people behind him were all brave men, she put away her hand and turned around to see Su Hongyu sitting in the pavilion in the garden with the two of them.
And that person wearing a green robe, looking over from the side, who is it but Han Qian?
Yao Xishui was stunned. She thought of ten thousand possibilities, but she never expected to meet Han Qian here.
Kong Xirong glanced at Chun Shisanniang, who was calmer than Yao Xishui, and motioned to the people behind him to close the courtyard door first, so that unrelated servants in Li Zhigao's house could accidentally see everything here.
"Miss Yao, Miss Chun Shisanniang, long time no see?" Han Qian turned around and looked at Yao Xishui, and Chun Shisanniang greeted.
Yao Xishui forced herself to calm down and walked into the pavilion with Chun Shisanniang. Seeing that Su Hongyu showed no signs of being controlled by others, she felt even more confused. She really didn't know why Su Hongyu cooperated with Han Qian and lured them into the city.
But seeing Xi Rong, a woman with silver bells on her feet who could move around silently, standing next to Han Qian, Yao Xishui stopped thinking about taking risks and just stared at Han Qian.
"Are you surprised to see me in Jinling?" Han Qian said with a smile, "During this period, you have spent all your energy on preventing others from snooping on Changchun Palace, and on what happened outside Changchun Palace.
It is inevitable that you will be slow to do things. You idiot, let go of the dagger in your sleeve, I am here to save your life this time."
Yao Xishui looked at Su Hongyu hesitantly.
Although she was not sure how Han Qian could coerce Su Hongyu into cooperating, Han Qian's words hinted that he already knew everything that happened in Changchun Palace, and she was slightly surprised.
Of course, although she was shocked and couldn't keep the secret, she wasn't particularly afraid of anything.
When this news came out, Yang Yuanpu was so angry that he couldn't give the Han family to the Yi people first?
This can be a secret that neither party can reveal.
She thought about it again and confirmed that she had not been targeted when she sent the baby out of the Changchun Palace overnight yesterday. She was not afraid that Han Qian would use this matter to blackmail them.
"Do you think I will threaten you with what happened in Changchun Palace?" Han Qian stared at Yao Xishui's doubtful eyes, smiled disdainfully, and said, "Do you know who Wen Ruilin is? And you know that I sent Wen Ruilin to the police?"
Is that fool who gave up Ruilin to Duke Chang, really because he is afraid that his achievements will shock the master, and he will not take the greatest credit?"
"..." Han Qian was an idiot on the left and an idiot on the right. What he said made Yao Xishui furious, but the information hinted in Han Qian's words shocked her even more. She asked in a voice, "Is Wen Ruilin a traitor to Liang Guo?"
"It seems that you are not hopeless yet," Han Qian said. "The navy suffered heavy losses when entering the sea, and Chen Mingsheng and Li Chong were able to successfully capture Zhongli City, which made the situation not look so bad. Everything was just
Liang Emperor Zhu Yu's plan. Liang Emperor Zhu Yu's goal is to hold back the main force of the Forbidden Army on the north bank, deliver a fatal blow, and completely destroy Chu's military power in Huaixi. Yao Xishui, think about it, I won't come to ventilate today
Tell me, how much of everything you have worked so hard to manage in secret can be preserved in the end?"
"Since you have known all this for a long time, why did you wait until now to come forward and talk about it? Isn't it too late?" Yao Xishui stared at Han Qian. She still didn't believe Han Qian's words and suspected that there was some trap waiting for her.
Step inside.
In order to preserve the old Zuo-Guangde Army, Han Qian had to delay his stance until now. However, the destruction of the left and right Five Tooth Army Navy was like a heavy stone weighing on his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.
At this time, he still had to bear all these sins, and his mood was extremely bad. His voice became cold and feminine, and he wanted to kick Yao Xishui out of the pavilion, and asked coldly: "I warned you in advance,
What are the benefits of being in Xuzhou? Is it possible that if I run in advance and tell the boy that Li Zhigao is actually the secret chess piece that Lu Qingxia has carefully cultivated over the years, the boy will believe me? "
Han Qian did not directly reveal Li Zhigao's life experience, but he would not deny that he had known for a long time that Li Zhigao had secret contacts with Lu Qingxia and Yao Xishui.
Otherwise, the whole plan will still not work.
Chun Shisanniang looked at Su Hongyu who looked anxious in shock. It must have been Han Qian's words that forced her to cooperate willingly.
But Yao Xishui stared at Han Qian and continued to question: "Then if you warn me now, what good will it do to Xuzhou?"
"The current crisis cannot be solved unless the Xuzhou Shuiying marches eastward," Han Qian said coldly, "If I can get an edict from the Queen Mother, I can openly lead the Xuzhou Shuiying eastward to Jianghuai. This is Xuzhou's
benefit!"
"..." Yao Xishui wanted to ask more, but Han Qian didn't want to give her another chance to ask questions and said, "That's all I have to say. If I haven't seen the Queen Mother's edict in Yandangji tonight, I will
Let's go back to Xuzhou. Let's take care of ourselves. When we have the opportunity to say goodbye to Miss Yao again in the future..."
Next, Han Qian and Xi Rong walked out of Shuqiu Garden first, walked out of General Li Zhigao's Mansion from the side door on the east side of the garden, got on the carriage, and headed all the way to Donghua Gate.
Kong Xirong led several people to continue to guard the garden, keeping an eye on Yao Xishui, Chun Shisanniang and others. After burning incense, he and his people quietly evacuated!
Yao Xishui stood there blankly, it was hard to believe that the scene just now was real, it was hard to imagine that Wen Ruilin would be Liang Jian, it was hard to imagine that Li Pu led the main force of the navy to attack Hongzepu, all of this was a conspiracy of the Liang State, and it was hard to imagine that Liang Jun was like this
The purpose of this conspiracy was to completely destroy Chu's military power in Huaixi. It is unimaginable that Han Qian knew all this a long time ago. It is unimaginable that Han Qian has been lurking in Jinling City all this time. It is also unimaginable that he delayed uncovering all this until now.
, just to get the edict from the Queen Mother Wang Chaner, so that he can return to the center of Chu to make waves...
She couldn't help but groan and asked Chun Sanniang and Su Hongyu: Is all this true?
"Let's go back to Changchun Palace to see Madam first." Chun Shisanniang was also turbulent in her heart and urged Yao Xishui. She thought in her heart: Is this the so-called mantis stalking the cicada with the oriole behind? Han Qian's scheming is really true.
