Qingyun smiled: "There are some things that I can't decide. Why didn't the princess bring the child here?"
"Take it, Jiang Rui took him to Linhua Hall. I heard about you, so I just wanted to come and have a look."
A servant came over and invited them to have lunch at Guhuaxuan.
"The emperor said that Princess Qingyun also went to have dinner together." The servant said.
Qingyun came to Guhuaxuan with them.
Qingyun saw Jiang Rui.
Jiang Rui gained a little weight. Maybe he has been in a foreign country for the past two years. Facing complicated political affairs, he has to quell the civil war and appease the people. His face has a little bit of vicissitudes, but he is more calm, and he exudes a mature man. Charm.
Qingyun is very pleased. She entered the door, greeted everyone, suppressed her urge to rush up and hug Jiang Rui, and just stared at the child in Jiang Rui's arms and smiled.
"What's his name?" Qingyun asked Jiang Rui.
"Jiang Fan." Jiang Rui stared at Qingyun. He heard everyone say that Princess Beiyi looked like Lan Ling, and he thought that everyone was going to persuade the emperor to accept his concubine again. When he saw her today, she did have Lan Ling's demeanor. He looks more stunning than Lan Ling, and his frown and smile are exactly the same as Lan Ling.
"Unexpectedly, your son is more than one year old, and he looks like you when you were a child... He really looks like you, and life is like a dream." Qing Yun walked to Ling Shuang with a smile.
Ling Shuang took her son over. Qingyun stretched out his hand to tease.
Jiang Rui's face was not good. He actually didn't want to go back to the palace. Thinking of Lan Ling lying there lifeless, he was heartbroken.
They grew up together and were childhood sweethearts. His greatest wish when he was a child was to marry Lan Ling.
Unexpectedly, after he went out for three months, she had already married An Wang after he came back. Lan Ling likes him, but only regards him as a relative, and he is willing to be her relative. Apart from Mo Shan's people, he has no other relatives.
He came to the palace because of Lan Ling, and later married the princess. He thought that he and Huo Jingyun could keep her safe. He worked hard to make achievements, and she finally won the emperor's heart and became a queen.
However, she never woke up again.
Her love is bitter and painful.
Qing Yun leaned over to chat and laugh with Ling Shuang and Pearl in a low voice, she heard Jiang Rui and the emperor report about the Great Xia Kingdom and the Great Moon Kingdom.
"After we promulgated the pacification policy, the hostility of the people disappeared. It's just that the new model of planting industry, as well as the new roads and transportation channels, require a lot of money. When I come back this time, I also need to discuss how to get this part of the money from Where did it come from?" Jiang Rui said.
"We can't increase the tax. It's not appropriate to burden the people too much. In order to develop business, many newly opened shops should be exempted from tax." Han Zhitao said.
Ling Chen didn't speak, he was silent, Qingyun knew he didn't have a good strategy yet.
Qingyun's heart moved, he smiled and asked Jiang Rui: "General, how is Xuecheng doing?"
"It's recovering. Has Princess Qingyun been to Snow City?" Jiang Rui asked.
Everyone is reluctant to mention Syracuse. The Battle of Syracuse was a disgrace to them.
"As far as Qingyun knows, Xuecheng has always been very rich, and there are treasures inside." Qingyun said lightly.
Huo Jingyun glanced at her, Xuecheng was very prosperous, that was in the past, later the emperor ordered the massacre of the city, and now it is already a mess.
Ling Chen picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.
"I've been there a long time ago, and I know the approximate location of the treasure. It would be great if there was a map of Syracuse."
"Is there really a treasure?" Ling Chen asked.
"I heard from others that there is." Qingyun said.
"Princess Qingyun, have you been to Snow City?" Ling Shuang asked.
"Princess, call me Qingyun. I have been there, and I know why Xuecheng is so rich, because there is a gold mine on the snow mountain. If you can find a gold mine, the general will not have to worry about the cost," Qingyun said.
Jiang Rui looked at Qingyun seriously: "I heard about the gold mine, and I sent someone to look for it, but I couldn't find it. I thought it was rumored by everyone. Is there really a gold mine?"
Qingyun said: "Since there are people passing it on, there must be a reason, and it won't hurt to look for it."
Ling Chen ordered, "Little Guizi, bring the map over there."
Xiao Guizi agreed, took out a scroll from a big vase and handed it to Ling Chen.
Ling Chen handed the map to Qing Yun,
Qingyun opened it and took a look: "Is there only this map?"
"Yes. This map is already very detailed." Ling Chen said.
Qingyun shook his head: "This is the latest map, many places have changed. Are there no other maps of Xuecheng?"
Ling Chen stared at her and told Xiao Guizi: "Bring over the sealed map!"
Xiao Guizi went to the side, opened a copper lock, took out a long and thin box from the cabinet, and gave the box to Ling Chen.
Holding the map, Ling Chen took a deep breath, opened the box, and took out the bloody map from inside.
This is a military defense map, which was drawn by Lan Ling, and was later taken by Wen Heng, and it became what she risked her life to obtain.
At that time, Wen Heng hurt himself on purpose, and let him see that she was desperately trying to get this map for him. Until Lan Ling became what it is now.
Ling Chen seemed to have remembered something, suddenly raised his head and glanced at Qingyun, remembering that she questioned her, the cold palace is gone, will Wen Heng be detained again
Yes, Wen Heng will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
There was a sudden hostility on his face, and he raised his head and said to the little noble son: "The order will be passed on, the courtyard wall of Fang Palace will be raised by one meter, and the courtyard will be covered with barbed wire. No one else is allowed to enter or leave the surrounding area. Anyone who violates the law will be beheaded!" Fan, there will be twice as many guards in Fang Palace."
With Wen Heng's skill, escaping from the palace wall is very easy.
Xiao Guizi and Gu Fan received the order.
King Rui glanced at the emperor.
General Ling Chen handed over the defense map to Qing Yun.
Qingyun took the picture with a smile. The handwriting on this picture is no longer his own, Qing Yun is convinced that Wen Heng copied a copy himself. She is really cautious.
The left side of the map is soaked in blood. Qingyun sighed slightly.
She found that special mark where she drew a sun. Nothing is marked, only she knows that it is the location of the gold mine, and there is an invisible detailed location inside, which can be displayed with a potion, but unfortunately the map has changed.
She pointed to the sun and said: "This location is the entrance of the gold mine, but it should be blocked now. Not many people know about it. I just looked at the current map, and many places have changed. You can find Xuebixiaogong or The old people in the Snow Palace, they must know the location of these places in the past, find someone to dig around here, and they will definitely find it."
Qingyun spoke with certainty, as if there really was a gold mine.
Ling Chen and Huo Jingyun looked at each other, Huo Jingyun nodded.
Ling Chen took a look at the military defense map, and handed it to Jiang Rui: "Look for it as she said, if it is true, you don't have to worry about the military's expenses."
"The previous entrance was at Bixiao Palace. There was a pond and a rockery in front of it." Qingyun said.
Jiang Rui looked at her: "Princess Qingyun is really familiar with Xuecheng. But how can the princess know such a confidential matter?"
Jiang Rui is different from King Rui and Han Zhitao, King Rui and Han Zhitao are more inclined to the emperor, while Jiang Rui hates anyone who takes away Lan Ling's things.
He could see that the emperor obeyed this woman. Soon, she will take Lan Ling's place. In a few years, the emperor will slowly forget Lan Ling.
Thinking of this, Jiang Rui felt worried.
Qingyun said: "I lived in the Snow Palace in Syracuse for a while, General, how do I know this secret is not important, the key is whether you can find this gold mine is what you need, isn't it?"
Jiang Rui frowned and looked at Qingyun. She looked at him with that kind of intimate gaze, which made him upset.
Chapter 211 His Exploitation
The battle between Daxing and Beiyi has been going on. Xindal occupied Dulong Mountain, and the mountain was full of traps, and people from Daxing couldn't go up at all.
Ling Chen sent a large number of troops to Beiyi, and at the same time, sent a large amount of financial resources to Beiyi.
With the combination of hard and soft, kindness and power, the people of Beiyi under the rule of Daxing gradually lived and worked in peace and contentment without running around.
The hatred of the common people for being invaded by Daxing gradually became indifferent and eliminated. They were tired of fighting long ago.
Enjoy the life of living and working in peace and contentment now.
No one is an opponent of time, time can change everything.
Xin Daer still led his team to occupy Dulong Mountain.
Qingyun often feels sad, everyone can see that Xindal is gone, he has almost no country to protect, no people to defend, but he is still holding on.
After Qianqiu Long live, no one will care about the gains and losses of those soldiers who insist on not surrendering, and they will not know their honor or disgrace at all.
As long as they are willing to bow their heads, they will reunite with their families and live a normal life, but they still stick to their beliefs, the beliefs of soldiers.
This belief cannot be violated. Although the wheels of history have rolled forward, they are still stationed in place.
Qing Yun knew very well that Xin Daer could no longer stop Ling Chen's determination to unify the Northern Wilderness Continent. Ling Chen's purpose is to eliminate conflicts between countries and allow the people to live and work in peace.
This also doomed Sindal to fail, to be a person forgotten by time.
In the blink of an eye, Qingyun has been living in the palace of Yuncheng for almost a month.
During this period of time, she never saw Ling Chen again, and even Huo Jingyun seldom saw him.
Qingyun knew that something must have happened, she asked the little maid in the courtyard, but no one told her. In everyone's eyes, she is still the princess of Beiyi.
She wanted to go to Linhua Hall to find Li Xia, but the guards stopped her.
On this day, Qing Yun was sitting in the garden outside, and saw Liu Hui walking over with a group of court ladies and servants. Behind her, a nurse was holding Ling Chen's son, Ling Zian.
Seeing Liu Hui, Qingyun stood up and saluted Liu Hui.
Seeing Qingyun, Liu Hui stood down and looked her up and down: "Is the princess ready?"
"Prepare for what?" Qingyun asked.
"Isn't the emperor going to marry the princess? Doesn't the princess know?"
Qingyun was startled.
"The emperor probably wants to give the princess a surprise. He has already ordered me to prepare it. Congratulations, princess." Liu Hui's voice was flat.
"I will take the eldest prince to greet the empress, and I won't accompany the princess. If the princess needs anything, feel free to ask." After speaking, Liu Hui led Ling Zi'an to the Linhua Hall.
Qingyun watched her figure gradually go away. In this palace, only Liu Hui lived with ease. She is the wisest and knows what she needs. She has always been indifferent to the emperor, not getting close, not alienating, not fighting, not robbing, except for the emperor's love, she lacks nothing.
Just as Liu Hui left, Qingyun saw Ling Chen and Huo Jingyun walking over together.
Qingyun stood up.
Huo Jingyun's face was gloomy.
Ling Chen looked at "Qingyun, Concubine Hui has already told you, right? I want to marry you and make you a native of Yun'an, do you agree?"
Qing Yun's face changed, An Ren was the lowest-ranked concubine in Daxing's harem.
Soon she understood what the Emperor meant, that he was humiliating Sindal.
Qingyun smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, Daxing and Beiyi are fighting. Since the Emperor has no intention of marrying, Qingyun will not force it."
Ling Chen raised his face and smiled: "In fact, everyone knows that you are no longer the princess of Beiyi. I don't have many concubines, so you can just add to my harem."
"What if Qingyun disagrees?" Qingyun asked him with a smile.
"Now that you've arrived at my palace, don't even think about leaving. Come on, bring Princess Qingyun back to Shufang Palace, and don't leave Shufang Palace without my consent!" Ling Chen ordered.
Qingyun didn't wait for the servant behind Ling Chen to come over, she turned and went back to Shufang Palace.
What is Ling Chen doing suddenly? Albatron thought to himself.
"Does the emperor have to use Qingyun?" Huo Jingyun suddenly asked Ling Chen at the entrance of Linhua Hall.
"You know everything?" Ling Chen looked at Huo Jingyun.
Huo Jingyun said: "The emperor must know that Xindal has arrived in Yuncheng."
"That's right, I do know that Xindal has arrived." Ling Chen looked at Huo Jingyun: "At this time, Xindal has only one purpose in Yuncheng, so why don't we use him for this purpose?"
Huo Jingyun sighed: "Because this person is Qingyun! Your Majesty, don't take advantage of her, don't take advantage of that person who has given you sincerity."
"Jingyun, I actually don't want to fight the last thing, so I do some things that are not open and aboveboard. But if a woman's sincerity can be exchanged for the lives of thousands of soldiers, I would rather exchange it. Besides, her sincerity? Why would she give it to her? Am I sincere?"
"If it was Lan Ling, would you use it too?" Huo Jingyun asked suddenly.
"Huo Jingyun, don't challenge my bottom line, there is only one Lan Ling, and I will never use her at any time."
Huo Jingyun's face was livid: "Your Majesty, Qingyun is my junior sister. I will not let you use her. I ask the emperor to delay accepting Qingyun as a concubine, so that I can go to Beiyi, retreat from King Ning's coalition forces, and take down Dulong." Mountain."
Ling Chen looked at Huo Jingyun: "Jingyun, are you tempted by your junior sister?"
"I just think that Qing Yun is a man of temperament. She broke up with Xin Daer for the sake of the emperor, and left her relatives to follow the emperor here. If the emperor can't give her sincerity, don't hurt her."
Ling Chen looked Huo Jingyun up and down: "Why don't you want to admit it?"
Huo Jingyun nodded: "I admit, I like Qingyun, but Qingyun only wants to be with you."
"Okay, let's go back to Gu Huaxuan to discuss how to face King Ning's coalition forces." Ling Chen said to Huo Jingyun,
Just after returning to Gu Huaxuan, Gu Fan ran in: "Your Majesty, Xin Daer really entered the palace, but he met Princess Qingyun, and Princess Qingyun took him to escape from the backyard of the Lenggong Palace!"
"Escaped!" Ling Chen couldn't believe it, he had set up a net around Shufang Palace, how could he let Xin Daer escape.
"Princess Qingyun was very vigilant. She ran out as soon as she heard the sound, and she seemed to be very familiar with the palace. After seeing Sindal outside Shufang Palace, she immediately led him away from our people and went with her maid Run away!" Gu Fan reported.
"Send people to arrest them immediately, be careful not to hurt Qingyun!" Ling Chen chased them out with Huo Jingyun while talking.
In the past few days, Xiaoguizi sent Qingyun a lot of clothes every day, and asked Qingyun to change into Daxing's clothes, saying that the emperor wanted her to adapt to the life of Daxing quickly.
Today, Xiao Guizi sent another set of light blue dress, Qing Yun liked it very much, just after putting it on, he heard someone outside shouting "Catch the assassin!"
She took the soft whip and Xiaojing and came out to see that it was Xin Daer.
Qingyun would not let Xindal be caught in the palace, and led him to escape from the courtyard wall behind the cold palace.
Xin Daer took Qing Yun and Xiao Jing out of the palace gate and ran all the way north.
"Brother, is something wrong?" Qingyun asked her.
"Mother is not in good health, she wants to see you." Sindal said roughly.
The pursuers followed closely, and Xin Daer led her into an alley, where a carriage was parked. Xin Daer got into the carriage and rushed towards the gate of the city.
Qingyun saw a lot of cloth and a pass on the carriage. It turned out that Xin Daer had snatched the carriage.
They went out of the city gate and came to the grove in front of them. Xindar whistled, and a dozen dagger warriors and three horses came out from the grove.
At this time, Xin Daer had time to take a good look at Qingyun. He looked at Qingyun's aqua-blue clothes, stepped forward and looked at it, and his face changed: "Daxing's clothes, did he ask you to wear them?"
Qingyun said: "Yes. Brother, it's already this time, don't worry about these, do you need me to change clothes?"
Xindal stared at Qingyun, slowly shook his head: "No need."
Sindal turned and mounted his horse.
When Qingyun and the others rushed back to Dulong Mountain, the concubine was already dying.
She was awake and unconscious from time to time, but she always breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing the emaciated concubine's disfigured face, Qingyun burst into tears. She picked up the concubine's wrist to feel her pulse. She didn't believe that in less than two months, the concubine died.
Xindal looked at her silently, with a cold expression.
