The emperor said that he would stay in the palace for three days, and he really stayed for three days. During this period, many people asked to see and visit, but the emperor never saw anyone again, so everyone went to ask the princess, and Qi Yang only revealed some information ambiguous.
On the third day, Qi Yang was always a little uneasy, so he said to Lu Qipei, "Is it really not going to involve you?"
Lu Qipei drank tea with peace of mind, and smiled reassuringly after hearing the words: "Of course not." She said, suddenly took out a note from her sleeve and handed it to Qi Yang: "The news they just received, they hid it well. It's on."
Qi Yang was a little surprised, he took the letter and looked at it, and it really said that the undercurrent in Beijing had been surging for the past three days. It's just that she didn't ask the content of the note after reading it, but instead asked: "Where did you get the news?!"
In fact, Qi Yang thought that the only way for Lu Qipei to get news was the Lu family and Qi Bo. She also knew that in the past few months, Qi Bo valued Lu Qipei more and more, and even revealed the secret of his life to her. But this is the palace, even if Qi Bo wants to pass news to Lu Qipei, he shouldn't be so quiet, unless there are people from the Lu family in the palace...
Just thinking about it like this made Qi Yang shudder. If even the remote Yuanqiu Palace has subtle work lurking, what about the palace, and what about the court? What they excavated was not even the tip of the iceberg? !
Lu Qipei saw her expression and knew what she was thinking, so he couldn't help laughing: "A Ning thinks too much. Today, there are not only the original palace servants in the palace, but many people come with them. This news was sent by an official servant. "
After hearing this, Qi Yang didn't know if she should breathe a sigh of relief. She rubbed her forehead with a headache. She always felt that the more she checked, the more she found that the forces behind it were intertwined. By this time, she even felt that she had not wronged her death in her previous life, but that people always wanted to live.
Seeing this, Lu Qipei put down the tea cup, took the initiative to get up and rubbed her temples for her, and sighed: "It's still a long time, what are you doing in such a hurry?" She said, slightly lowered her head and rubbed her chin in Qi Yang's hair: " I think it’s going well now.”
At least compared to her powerlessness in her previous life, she was already eating away at the power at hand.
Qi Yang relaxed and leaned back slightly into Lu Qipei's arms, the anxiety in his heart was eased a little by Lu Qipei. The two are now one, and she can't help but look forward to the future of the two. But both Xie Yuan and the emperor can easily destroy their fragile happiness and future, so they cannot relax, dare not compromise, and must fight for a way out.
But just as Lu Qipei said, she seemed a little too nervous, but the emperor's slight expression made her feel at ease for a few days. If things go on like this, that string will always break... It's ridiculous that she once wanted to rely on Lu Qipei to keep her pure.
Seeing that she was relaxed, Lu Qipei stopped talking about the topic, and turned to the news on the note: "In addition to offering sacrifices to the sky, His Majesty has been away from Beijing for four days, and on the night of the winter solstice, the imperial family was summoned overnight. The doctor has come to the palace. Now there are rumors in Beijing, that His Majesty is seriously ill, and the prince is far away in the northern border. It is indeed a 'good time' for people's hearts to fluctuate."
The opportunity created by the emperor himself, for whom it is clear at a glance.
The only people who are still in the capital today are the third princes who have not participated in the sacrifice to the sky due to the grounding. He competed for power in the DPRK, and also lost battles in the northern border, but this was not the reason why the emperor targeted him.
Maybe it shouldn't be called a target, it's more appropriate to call it a test - the matter in the northern border has made the emperor suspicious, but he also understands the temperament of the third prince. If there is no conspiracy behind him, but it is just grounding, he will not dare to do anything. But if someone instigated and added fuel to the flames, then this time, while he was "seriously ill" when he left Beijing, a change in Beijing was inevitable.
The emperor's mind is cold, if it is the former, he can still get this son. If it is the latter, the fate of the third prince can be imagined.
After Lu Qipei and Qi Yang read the news on the paper, they understood that the third prince had already fallen into the trap. As stupid as he is, it is still two people's sets. If the emperor finds out his dissent, he will definitely kill those who treason. Xie Yuan was sitting on the sidelines while watching the civil unrest in Liang.
It has been said a long time ago that the current Liang Kingdom is still considered a prosperous age. How can prosperity and peace be easily subverted? Therefore, it must cause chaos. The war from the frontier is one aspect, and the rebellion from the capital is another.
If it fails once, then twice, if it fails twice, then three times, this great river and mountain will always be disturbed, giving people an opportunity to take advantage of...
Thinking about the past life, and thinking about this life, Lu Qipei and Qi Yang can almost guess Xie Yuan's intentions. But so what? They have no ability to stop it, and the layout of the decades has pushed the situation forward like a flood.
In the end, Qi Yang could only sigh, and he threw the note into the brazier and burned it: "Left and right, I am also taking revenge."
Qi Yang said this not too early, and news of the rebellion came from Beijing that night. It is said that another battalion of troops came out of the capital towards the palace, intending to take the emperor to force the palace, but this army disappeared in front of everyone's eyes without even seeing the gate of the palace.
Many people go to bed early at night and wake up the next day.
The emperor finally appeared in front of everyone again, with a rosy face, where does it seem like a serious illness? Only then did everyone realize that everything was the emperor's layout. Some of the ministers who had taken the opportunity to spread the news to Beijing, or who were close to the third prince, were so frightened that they sweated for a while, fearing that they would not be taking a carriage back to Beijing, but a prison carriage.
Fortunately, the emperor did not take people on the spot, but announced the crime of treason of the third prince with everyone, and ordered to return to Beijing directly. So the team of offering sacrifices delayed for three or four days, and finally returned to the capital in a mighty manner.
The quaint and atmospheric capital looks the same as usual, but I don't know if everyone is delusional, and it always feels that the air is filled with chills and blood.
The team of offering sacrifices to the sky returned to the city. Originally, they would disperse after arriving in Beijing, but this time it was obvious that no one dared to leave. All the ministers of the imperial family were brought directly into the palace. Not long after entering the palace gate, a prison cage could be seen in the open space outside Xuanzheng Hall from a distance.
The person in the cage was the third prince, and he was captured. I saw him huddled in a corner of the cage wearing light armor, and the cold winter wind blew him a little. The long hair that was tied up was scattered slightly, and the silver armor seemed to be stained with despair, and it became dim...
The third prince seemed a little excited when he discovered the appearance of the emperor and his ministers. He suddenly got up from the ground, and when he was about to rush to the cage, he seemed to think of something and stopped cowardly.
The emperor walked to the cage and stopped at a distance of half a zhang: "I really underestimated your ambition!"
Seeing the good-looking emperor, the third prince suddenly became timid, and lowered his head and dared not speak.
The emperor was extremely angry. Seeing him like this, he even held back his anger. He suddenly took two steps forward and kicked the three princes in the cage to the ground with one kick across the fence. He had already planned, of course, not because of the ambition of the third prince, but because of the loss that this disaster brought to the capital.
The troops in central Beijing were roughly divided into three divisions, the imperial guards Yulin, the patrols guarding the cavalry in central Beijing, and there were 100,000 guards on the outskirts of Beijing. What the emperor never expected was that, under the circumstance that he had been prepared for a long time, all three troops and horses were involved in the rebellion. Not to mention the impact of this incident and the emperor's fears, the loss of this rebellion alone made the emperor's heart bleed.
The third prince didn't dare to cry when he was kicked over, but now he came back to his senses and began to admit his mistake and beg for mercy.
How could the emperor spare him? With a flick of his long sleeves, he simply walked away. After two steps, he turned back and asked, "Who is it that bewitched you in this rebellion, and who is the general of the three armies who helped you contact you?"
The third prince heard the words, his eyes flashed blankly, and then his eyes suddenly lit up: "It's an aide, an aide in Erchen's mansion. Father, you must believe Erchen, Erchen has no intention of rebelling, it's all those The staff's eloquent words bewitched, and the servant did something wrong when he didn't notice it for a while..."
He thought that the emperor wanted to give him a step and save his life. Unexpectedly, the emperor was even more angry when he heard his evasive remarks that could not grasp the point at all, and finally walked away without saying what to do with him.
Seeing this, the palace guards did not dare to go forward, and the accompanying ministers avoided the cage far away, as if they were afraid of avoiding it.
The third prince was stunned when he saw that the emperor had just left, and immediately begged for mercy. It's a pity that the words are all evasive, not even the point of the emperor's question, and his begging for mercy can only be scattered in the cold winter wind.
Both Qi Yang and Lu Qipei looked at him from a distance, and then ignored him. When Qi Yang saw such a despicable third prince, thinking of his previous life, he couldn't help but feel two complexities in his heart - how high-spirited this person was in his previous life, but he is so destitute in this life, but they are all pieces on the chessboard. better than anyone.
Lu Qipei noticed what was on Qi Yang's mind, took her hand and squeezed it slightly, reminding her to return to her senses.
However, Qi Yang had already calmed down and felt Lu Qipei's movement, so he turned back and smiled at her.
The two looked at each other, intimacy and naturalness, as if they were not disturbed by the situation in front of them. Such a calm and relaxed appearance fell into the eyes of the caring person, and the doubts and fears in his heart disappeared a little, and all the undercurrents were calm.
After all, the third prince's begging for mercy was of no use. His rebellious and treasonous behavior and even his desire to send troops to the palace completely angered the emperor. After a day of cold wind blowing in the cage outside the Xuanzheng Hall, he was finally sent away by a glass of poisonous wine. The death of the third prince was undoubtedly related to the previous dynasty. Many people in the family of the third prince were implicated, or relegated or imprisoned, and people were panicked for a while.
Only these things have little to do with Qi Yang. After all, the princess has no right to participate in politics. Occasionally, when someone urgently seeks medical attention and seeks medical attention, she also closes the house and ignores it. It can be said that she has done a very thorough job of staying out of the way.
But these are things to talk about later. At this time, the two finally came out of the depressed palace. Lu Qipei suddenly took Qi Yang's hand and smiled at her: "Okay, we are finally back, and it's time to move!"
Qi Yang was stunned for a moment, then relaxed his eyebrows and looked at the gloomy and depressed sky again, and replied, "Okay, we will move tomorrow."
