What is the palace
An abyss that can swallow people's hearts, a place that is so dirty and dark that it is outrageous, but at the same time, it is also a place where people's hearts gather. It is understandable that any strange things happen in the palace.
Therefore, Li Jingnan was not surprised that someone would break through the Queen Mother's blockade and come looking for him.
Such a person, even if he does not appear today, will appear tomorrow.
This is his opportunity and the biggest opportunity in that person's life.
"Chen Yuan, the newly appointed general manager of the Royal Forest Army, pays homage to the Emperor." Chen Yuan knelt down and bowed his head in salute.
Li Jingnan finished clearing the books on the table and came to the fire. He stretched out his hands to warm himself up and let the hot air warm him. However, when he heard the words "General Manager of the Royal Forest Army", he couldn't help but be startled.
As expected, he was a brave man, and he was able to steal food from his relatives. It must have been hard to get this position... But it can also be easily guessed that this Chen Yuan is definitely Zheng Shuwen's confidant.
Could it be that the Queen Mother sent him to test him
Thinking of this, a sharp flash flashed between Li Jingnan's eyebrows.
"Get back on your feet." Li Jingnan said calmly.
Chen Yuan stood up and looked at Li Jingnan with a puzzled expression: "Your Majesty, my subordinates are willing to rescue you."
Get him out...
Li Jingnan raised his head and finally looked at Chen Yuan. He was tall and upright and had an extraordinary appearance. He was indeed a talent.
"What, the Queen Mother has thought of a new way to play with me?" Li Jingnan sneered, then looked away: "Let's go."
Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment: "The Emperor doesn't trust me?"
Li Jingnan didn't even look at him, and reincarnated back on the couch, seemingly planning to sleep.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates are sincere. Please believe in my sincerity." Chen Yuan knelt down again and expressed his sincerity.
Li Jingnan looked at him from a distance, neither sad nor happy: "How can you believe it?"
Chen Yuan lay on the ground and stared at the ground firmly: "If the emperor agrees, my subordinates are willing to lead troops to rush in immediately, rescue the emperor, and detain the queen mother."
"Haha." Li Jingnan laughed: "Not to mention whether you, the newly-promoted General Manager of the Royal Forest Army, are secure in your position, how can I trust and appoint you just because you betrayed the Queen Mother?!"
Chen Yuan frowned and finally broke into a cold sweat.
He intuitively felt that the young man in front of him was not as simple as he imagined. Sure enough... the True Dragon Emperor had an extraordinary mind and thinking.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Chen Yuan's ambition will never be to be a dog among the hegemons of Qi's foreign relatives, but to become a master by his own ability." Chen Yuan revealed his inner secret: "Although the Queen Mother has some feelings for Yuan The favor of support is not just a branch that lives far away. Yuan knows that the future of Qi must be in the hands of the emperor, and this is just and justified."
What he said was really from the bottom of his heart, and it was indeed well analyzed.
Counting the days, the Queen Mother has been imprisoning Li Jingnan for a certain period of time in the name of recovering from illness, and it is time for some changes.
Li Jingnan sat in front of the couch and looked at Chen Yuan quietly. Chen Yuan was lying on the ground, his back straight, and the two of them seemed to be frozen.
The layout of the main hall of Qianqing Palace is like other dormitories in the harem, surrounded by four sides. Under the steps in front of the door is an open space about tens of meters wide. Next to the open space are flowers, trees and various corridors.
At this moment, the two still people in the main hall seemed not to notice that in the darkness on the side, there were two figures like sculptures.
Or perhaps, Li Jingnan noticed it.
Because his eyes shifted coldly from Chen Yuan, and finally disappeared into the darkness somewhere outside.
"You go."
After a long silence, Li Jingnan finally spoke.
Chen Yuan was slightly startled, but he still stood up and quickly disappeared into the Qianqing Palace. The whole process was completed within a quarter of an hour.
Li Jingnan remained sitting in front of the couch until his figure disappeared for a long time, as if he was thinking about something, and as if he was waiting for someone.
Finally, a series of fast footsteps broke the silence of the night.
Li Jingnan raised his eyes again. The increasingly clear figures in his sight made him stand up in excitement, stepped forward in three or two steps, and stopped behind the railing.
Also looking surprised was Fu Tingye.
After many days, I went into the palace again to investigate and finally found the place where Li Jingnan was being held. However, I still couldn't believe it after seeing it with my own eyes. The Queen Mother would treat her biological son in such a way.
Royal family affection... is indeed extraordinary.
"General?" Li Jingnan asked softly. He couldn't believe that the first courtier to find him was Fu Tingye, but... his appearance was also reasonable.
In the Qi court, he was the only person who could disobey the Queen Mother and also have the ability to insert influence and informants into the palace.
Fu Tingye's eyes were deep, and he asked Wu Zhuo to stop outside the main hall. He came up alone, knelt down and kowtowed: "I am late to save you. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Let's talk when we get up." Li Jingnan raised his arm to signal.
Fu Tingye stood up, but he had a trace of doubt: "Don't you want the emperor to go out now?"
After hearing his rhetorical question, Li Jingnan immediately smiled: "You must have seen it just now. It's already a matter of time for me to go out. Why should the general risk his actions tonight? Besides, the general himself knows that tonight will be like this." What are the chances of winning if you rescue me?"
Just from the fact that he came with only one entourage, we can guess that Fu Tingye was not ready to rescue him because he was detecting the situation tonight.
What we said when we met just now was just to save face.
Fu Tingye calmed down his expression and did not insist. He just looked around. Although the place was simple, it still had everything he needed for daily life. There were also mountains of books on the desk, which Li Jingnan must have used to kill his boring time.
"General came here late at night, wouldn't it be as simple as just looking at me?" Li Jingnan raised his eyes and met Fu Tingye's unfathomable eyes.
Fu Tingye quickly withdrew his gaze: "Your Majesty is wise. I came here to find the Emperor's residence, and also to report important military information."
"What's the military situation? General, please tell me." Li Jingnan put his hands behind his back and instantly regained his former look at the Golden Palace.
"According to the spies who came here to report, the Liao Kingdom has stationed a large number of troops on our border. At the same time, the prince of the Liao Kingdom is on a mission to the Qi Kingdom. He is in Shengjing City, with the purpose of purchasing Thunder Thunder, but in fact he has ulterior motives. There is probably a big conspiracy.”
Fu Tingye truthfully reported what he had discovered and analyzed.
Li Jingnan was shocked. This situation was indeed dangerous.
Naturally, generals are needed on the border side, otherwise they will not be able to defend it. On the Shengjing side, the Prince of Liao must closely monitor it and catch it immediately if there is any change.
But if the border is not moved, Shengjing cannot move, otherwise it will actively provoke war between the two countries.
The current initiative is not in their hands.
"I guess the general already has a countermeasure?" Li Jingnan thought carefully and decided to listen to Fu Tingye's idea first.
Fu Tingye clasped his fists and lowered his head: "Your Majesty, my subordinates request to return to Panshui Camp immediately to take charge."
"Correct." Li Jingnan replied immediately.
"Yes." Fu Tingye agreed, but looked slightly hesitant.
"Let me know if you have any other requests."
Fu Tingye thought for a while: "I plan to take Si Bing's wife with me."
"This..." Li Jingnan pondered slightly, but did not make a decision immediately.
"Si Bing's wife is the main person in charge of the weapons camp. She is currently developing new weapons. If you go with me, you can also take the opportunity to test the power of the new weapons. At the same time, you can also deter the Liao Kingdom's ambitions."
Fu Tingye gave a reason that Li Jingnan could not refuse.
"Okay." Li Jingnan replied: "It's just that you can see my current situation. The general himself knows whether this oral order counts."
At present, all he can give is oral instructions, and the imperial edict will never be fulfilled.
If you want the imperial edict, you must rescue him first.
Fu Tingye naturally understood the profound meaning, nodded and said: "Please tell me, Your Majesty, when can I lead troops into the palace to clear out the troops?"
As long as Li Jingnan gives the order, it will be a matter of minutes for Fu Jiajun to conquer the Queen Mother's palace.
Li Jingnan's eyes flashed with a sharp edge: "No! This can't be like this."
Fu Tingye pondered and looked up at him.
Li Jingnan's expression was complicated, ranging from worry to forbearance, and an emotion that even he couldn't understand.
"I listen to the emperor." Fu Tingye clasped his fists. Since Li Jingnan didn't want him to do this, he just didn't move.
Li Jingnan nodded: "You also saw it. It will be a matter of time before I go out, so the general doesn't have to worry about me."
Fu Tingye nodded.
"If there is nothing else, then you can resign first." Li Jingnan said lightly.
Fu Tingye hummed, turned around and was about to go outside, but suddenly heard Li Jingnan's voice.
"How is Hua Qingxue doing lately? Are you worried about me?"
Fu Tingye stopped and turned around: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Mrs. Si Bing has been doing well these days. She has been developing new weapons for the Emperor."
Li Jingnan's dull expression finally had a hint of vivid color, and he smiled softly: "I knew she would not forget the agreement I made with her."
Fu Tingye watched Li Jingnan regain his childlike joy instantly, feeling incomprehensible. There was a sour smell in the air around him.
"I take my leave." Fu Tingye clasped his fists, galloped out with meteoric strides, and disappeared into the Qianqing Palace in an instant.
What he and Wu Zhuo chose was also when the guards were changing. Moreover, this time they had internal support in the secret passage at the palace gate, so the two of them quickly left the palace without anyone noticing.
In an alley outside the palace wall, a carriage from another courtyard had been waiting there early. Fu Tingye got into the carriage, his expression still not calm. Recalling Li Jingnan's last smile, he felt inexplicably impatient. He subconsciously raised his head and stretched his arms into his arms. middle.
There were several letters lying quietly there, most of which were written by Hua Qingxue to Li Jingnan during this period.
He originally wanted to hand it over to the emperor after seeing him tonight, but for some reason... he finally gave up the idea.
"I remember I asked you to check Chen Yuan's details last time. How was it?" After Fu Tingye calmed down his emotions, he asked Wu Zhuo who was sitting aside.
