When Qin Yining returned to the palace, the door was removed from the threshold and opened, and the carriage went straight to the inner house without any hindrance.
On the carriage, Qin Yining explained the situation in the house to Bingtang and Jiyun in a low voice, and instructed: "You have to be more careful about this matter, and don't let it leak out."
"Yes. Princess, don't worry, we understand the importance. We must act carefully, and it will not be a bad thing."
Qin Yining smiled and said, "I can rest assured. I suffered you last night. It was cold on the mountain. Don't catch a cold. I asked them to prepare ginger soup and a pot of ginseng chicken soup. ."
Ji Yun and Bingtang felt warm in their hearts and nodded with a smile.
Bingtang smiled and said, "Princess just likes to worry, no matter where we can be cold."
Qin Yining laughed and joked: "It's not that it's not cold. Huzi is on the mountain, how can I let you cold."
Bingtang's face was flushed, and she glared at Qin Yining with a red face: "Princess is getting worse and worse! It's so bad!"
Qin Yining looked at her shy appearance and thought that Pang Xiao had been saved. Even if their future is bumpy, as long as everyone is alive and well, she is not afraid of anything. Thinking of this, Qin Yining was in a good mood for a while, but he couldn't stop laughing.
Back at Siqing Garden, Qin Yining sent Bingtang and Jiyun to bathe and change clothes for a good rest.
He called Xianyun to ask in a low voice, "Where's the prince?"
Xianyun looked outside the door and made sure that no one was eavesdropping, so he lowered his voice and said, "A few people have just arrived, and they say they are your friends. Cao guard next to the old man asked the prince to go out with him."
Qin Yining immediately understood that Pang Xiao was going out to see the Qingtian Alliance.
Although the people of the Qingtian League are not gentlemen, and they may not have the ability to run the country and the family, there are many talented people. This time, she and Pang Xiao's plan needed the help of talented people in the Qingtian Alliance.
Qin Yining knew that Pang Xiao would definitely cover it up carefully when he went out, and he didn't even walk in front of Yao Shi and Yao Chenggu, so he was completely relieved.
These days of hiding will soon be over. Just had to hold on for a while.
Qin Yining asked someone to send a message to the palace.
"It's just that the prince is still in the underground palace, and the same is true of the saint. The ministers and wives specially invited the queen and the queen mother to greet the two of them."
The Queen Mother and Li Helan are eating grapes. The grapes on Xingong are full of grains, and the juice is rich and sweet. Li Helan was happy to eat, but the queen mother took two to slow down.
"We eat well here. But your emperor is in the underground palace... My heart is really going to be tortured."
Li Helan put down his hand slowly, threw the grapes into the plate, and slowly wiped his fingers with the handkerchief.
"Don't be saddened by the queen mother. The imperial brother will definitely be unharmed."
When Li Helan said this, he actually had no idea in his heart.
During these days, Ji Zeyu insisted on digging on the mountain, and only went down the mountain once during this period, which shows that the situation on the mountain is not optimistic.
Li Helan didn't know what would happen to Da Zhou in the future if Li Qitian was really gone. But her own elder brother sitting in that position, and her cousin sitting in that position, naturally couldn't be the same for her.
"Mother, why don't we find a way to arrange more people and rescue the emperor as soon as possible."
The queen mother heard the words and smiled bitterly: "It's easier said than done. Twenty days have passed, twenty days! Your royal brother is inside, 80% of the time... These mothers don't dare to think about it, even if we arrange people to go now, I'm afraid it's still... "
Li Helan couldn't help frowning and said, "Then why didn't the mother arrange for people to go there when the incident happened?"
Li Helan has been pampered since she was a child, and talking with the Queen Mother is just a mother-daughter conversation. She always says what she thinks, but she really didn't realize that her words really pierced the Queen Mother's heart.
The Empress Dowager couldn't help sulking, "What were you doing at that time? Ai's family was busy consolidating the status of our Li family's dynasty! Do you think that if the Ai's family did not arrange the regent of Li Jun in time, the military power of the Hu Ben army would be under your uncle's control. In their hands, will those factions in the imperial court continue to surrender? They were not convinced when your imperial brother was here! Just relying on our female class, if you don’t want to hold on to power, you will die sooner or later!”
Li Helan was frightened by the empress dowager's eyes that seemed to eat people. She blinked her eyes and swallowed her saliva before she said timidly: "Don't be angry, the daughter also knows your difficulties. Don't say anything else, it's the daughter who has entered the palace these days. Come, there are two more interrogations. Those dead eunuchs have eaten the gall of a bear and a leopard, and they all want to search my body. Fortunately, my daughter is somewhat majestic. They did not dare to be presumptuous. "
"And such things?" The queen mother was very surprised, she could not help sitting up straight and asked: "When did it happen? Why didn't I hear you talk about it before?"
"Only these two days, they didn't dare to inquire about her daughter, and Erchen didn't take it seriously."
Seeing that the Queen Mother's face was not very good-looking, Li Helan asked hesitantly, "Mother, what's the matter with you?"
The queen mother shook her head, her lips pursed into a line.
Could it be that King Li Jun has a rebellious heart
The Empress Dowager recalled that there was something wrong with the appearance of King Li Jun.
The queen mother knows her daughter's temperament very well. She is impulsive and arrogant. If she tells her this, she will show her stubbornness outside.
Thinking of this, the queen mother only said: "Nothing."
At this time, a servant in front of the door spoke back and forth: "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, Princess Zhongshun has sent a message."
The Queen Mother and Li Helan raised their eyebrows and looked at the front of the palace.
Li Helan frowned, her face full of displeasure.
The waiter came forward with the post in both hands.
The queen mother finally took a look and said: "Qin's request to enter the palace later to greet Ai's family. She is also considerate."
"She's just pretending." Li Helan raised her voice in dissatisfaction. "That fox girl is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She is used to selling camels in nine countries. The mother must not follow her way."
The queen mother knew that Li Helan and Qin Yining had never dealt with each other. Li Helan might still be thinking about Pang Xiao in his heart. He didn't break it face to face, he just said: "Forget it, you don't like her, just go out of the palace earlier."
This is why the Queen Mother decided to see Qin Yining.
Li Helan was dissatisfied, and stood up: "The mother knew that she was going to outsiders and let me go? Just leave!"
Leaving a sentence, Li Helan angrily took people out of the palace.
The queen mother looked at Li Helan's back and sighed helplessly. Her daughter was so arrogant, she could only go with her at this juncture. She doesn't have the extra energy to teach her now.
Qin Yining didn't know the situation in the palace, so after getting permission, he immediately changed his clothes and prepared to enter the palace.
Pang Xiao carried her into the carriage, and whispered in front of the door: "You remember my words, your safety is the most important, the rest are secondary, if you can't, come back soon."
