Yan Li had no intention of telling the plan, so Nie Lingzhen and the dark palace guards had no effect on him at all. He's just not used to seeing the usually deserted steps and the lonely sycamore tree covered with cold swords, guns and armor.
Yan Li's mouth twitched into a flat smile: "For my own safety, thousands of imperial guards were mobilized. It's really embarrassing for you!"
He stretched, yawned, and scanned all the palace guards outside the back door, "Thank you for your hard work, I'll go back and have a good sleep. The prison is full of lice, so I can't sleep well."
Yan Li's loose white clothes passed through the gleaming soap armor, forming a stark contrast. With a creak, the red wooden door was pushed open, and the Prime Minister's Mansion was pitch-black, only Yan Li was seen in white. Bang, the door closed again, and streaks of fire shone on the door.
Rong Changan sent people to Yushitai to check on Yan Li's news every day, but the news he got was contradictory, and he didn't know whether it was true or not.
After a while, someone reported back: "Prime Minister Yan has been released and returned to the mansion." But Rong Changan sent people to the prime minister's mansion to investigate, but they did not hear that Yan Li was already in the mansion.
After a while someone said: "The prime minister is still in prison." They sent someone to inquire, but everyone in Yushitai kept tight-lipped and did not disclose any news.
On this day, someone said that the Imperial Palace guards lined up outside the prime minister's mansion, but they didn't know if it was true or not.
Rong Changan wasn't nervous at first, but when this mixed news reached her ears, she couldn't hold back anymore.
When she persuaded Li Hai to imprison Yan Li in Yushitai, she wanted to relieve Li Hai's suspicion of him, but she never thought that Li Hai would imprison Yan Li for so long.
She had to go see Li Hai, otherwise her heart would never settle down.
Cairan ordered Chuntao and other servants to prepare the carriages, and the eunuch at the door started calling.
"The emperor is here!"
It's about time! It's just that Rong Chang'an was still a little uneasy, Li Hai rarely came to Fengming Palace, why did he come this time
Rong Changan put on the golden step and put on the gold hairpin, the jewels reflected a flawless face like a full moon, it was so beautiful.
She went all the way to the entrance of Fengming Palace and knelt down, hanging down her shiny black silk bun, her voice soft and full of magnetism: "Concubine Rong Chang'an kneels to see my emperor, long live, long live!"
Li Hai had already stretched out his hand to help Rong Chang'an up: "Queen, we are a white-headed couple, why do you have to show such great etiquette, I am really ashamed of it!"
"The concubine thought that because of what happened last time, the emperor would not come to visit me!"
Rong Changan's humbleness and respect made Li Hai a little uncomfortable. He shot a vigilant and scrutinizing gaze while smiling, trying to see into Rong Changan's heart, what kind of scheming is she playing.
"Do you think I'm that kind of stingy person? Hahaha" Li Hai hid his vigilant gaze with a big laugh, "Come on, let's talk inside."
Today Li Hai was very interested, he walked around Fengming Palace, and finally came to the Buddhist hall. I saw that the incense burner in the Buddhist hall was cold, and there was no fragrance at all.
"Queen, I seldom come to the Buddhist hall to offer incense and pray recently. I don't know why I am tied down by something?"
Li Hai hit the nail on the head, and wanted to torture Rong Chang'an's inner secrets.
Rong Changan's soft smile was like a shield, blocking Li Hai's sharp knife-like gaze.
"A concubine is a person who holds Buddha's feet temporarily. If there is nothing to ask for from the Guanyin master, they will not come to the Buddhist hall to burn incense."
"Aren't you afraid that Guanyin will be angry when the queen says such outrageous things in front of Master Guanyin?" Li Hai said this sentence in a joking manner, but it didn't sound like a joke at all to Rong Changan.
She naturally knew that Li Hai was testing herself.
"If the concubine was afraid, she wouldn't say such things!" Rong Changan waved his hand, and Chuntao took out incense from the cabinet under the altar and lit it.
Rong Changan held it in his hand, and the blue-gray cigarette curled up, and the Buddhist hall was filled with the smell of cigarettes in a short while.
Rong Changan knelt on the futon and worshiped, then stepped forward to twist incense and stick it in the incense burner.
Li Hai saw it in his eyes: "Queen, you are burning incense now. Could it be that you have something to ask Guanyin?"
Rong Chang'an said: "I asked Guanyin Bodhisattva for something, but I don't know if it will work or not."
Li Hai showed a lot of interest, walked over, stood in front of Rong Changan, and smiled slightly: "Queen, what do you need from Master Guanyin?"
Rong Changan didn't look at Li Hai, put his hands together, closed his eyes, and bowed to Guanyin Bodhisattva. After a while, Rong Changan smiled back at Li Hai:
"You can't say a wish, if you say it, it won't come true." Rong Changan sighed, and continued, "Actually, the wish of the concubine is nothing more than about the country and the country. I only hope that the Dajing Kingdom will be better and better, and the people's life will be prosperous." After a pause, Rong Changan said again, "Like that day, the concubine didn't intend to embarrass Prime Minister Yan, but just felt that traitors like King Jing should be eradicated."
Li Hai chuckled: "It turns out that the empress is concerned about Yan Li!" There was a sour taste in the understatement.
"The concubine is not concerned about Prime Minister Yan, but the world of Dajing Kingdom. Recently, there have been rumors in my ears that the prime minister was imprisoned in Yushitai because of me, because the country delayed many things. Minister The concubine felt very wronged, but she didn't want to think that her intentions were good, but in the end she became a villain."
"Queen, don't worry, I just locked Yan Li for a few days, let him calm down his mind, and let him understand how to talk to me and the queen."
Li Hai thought to himself: Don't think I don't know, Rong Chang'an is actually trying to find out if Yan Li has been released, so I simply won't tell her and let her guess.
"So, Yan Li has already been released?" Rong Changan couldn't hide his inner joy even though he was calm and calm, a brilliant light flashed across her delicate face.
Li Hai didn't answer Rong Chang'an's question directly, but said to Chuntao: "Give me a stick of incense too!"
Chuntao said, "Abiding by the order!" Then she went to the cupboard and took out another stick of incense and lit it.
Li Hai twirled the incense and prayed, muttering something, and suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were bright, looking at the puppet of Guanyin in the Buddhist hall.
"My lord, what wish did you make?"
Li Hai said: "Didn't you just say that your wish will not come true if you express it, how can I tell you! My wish is similar to yours. I only hope that the Li family will be peaceful and the people will be happy."
In fact, his wish is: I hope tomorrow's plan can be successful!
"The emperor didn't answer the concubine just now, has Yan Li been released?"
Li Haipi smiled bluntly: "It's only been a few days, and you let Yan Li go? He spoke to you in that tone that day, and I felt very uncomfortable. I must make him reflect, reflect."
