Qin Yining followed Pang Xiao to a wing. It was already dark, and in order to prevent people from discovering their hiding place, only a silk lamp was lit in the house, and thick blackout curtains were drawn on the doors and windows.
Two large wooden buckets of hot water have been prepared behind the screen.
Pang Xiao helped Qin Yining to sit behind the screen, and his big, articulated hands removed the grass clippings from her hair.
"Conditions are limited, let's take a good scrub? You are so tired and you have to drill into the tunnel with such a heavy body, it really makes me feel uncomfortable."
Qin Yining took the hot handkerchief that Pang Xiaodi gave her to wipe her face. Now the situation is tense, it is not when she is poor and careful, and she doesn't care if she can't take a bath.
"Don't think like that. Although the tunnel is narrow, it's not particularly difficult to walk. Besides, it's better to be disgraced than to be hurt."
Pang Xiao's eyes flashed coldly, "I see who dares to hurt you."
Qin Yining was amused by his appearance of protecting the calf, and put the handkerchief back to him, "Don't be nervous, I'm right under your nose, who can hurt me? Besides, everyone is strong this time. United, you, the Sage and the Duke of Dingbei are both good planners, this decision is the most direct and quick choice, I believe that by this time tomorrow, everything will be calm."
Pang Xiao washed the handkerchief, took Qin Yining's fair and delicate hand, and wiped it awkwardly for her.
"Anyway, with you by my side, I can be calm. If I leave you, I don't know what to do."
Qin Yining's heart surged with warmth, and he looked at him with a smile, "It will be slick, the man is determined to be in all directions, if you tell the soldiers under your command to listen to what you say today, you will be convinced in the future."
Pang Xiao threw the handkerchief away, hugged Qin Yining and took a bite at the corner of her mouth.
"If they don't want to be convinced, they will give it a beat. I just want to give you a more stable life for a while."
"My lord."
Before waiting for Qin Yining's answer, someone outside the door whispered, "Guard Deng is back."
Pang Xiao's expression froze, "I see."
He turned around and said to Qin Yining, "It's Hu Zi who has returned. I arranged for him to go to the palace. You can sleep in your room for a while. I'll go to the sage to hear about the situation."
Qin Yining said, "I'm not sleepy at all right now. I can't sleep with such a big thing in my mind. I'll go with you."
Seeing Qin Yining's resolute attitude, Pang Xiao sighed lightly, "Okay. Anyway, I originally planned to be with you all the time, and determined not to let you out of my sight, let's go."
Qin Yining nodded and was supported by Pang Xiao back to the conference hall.
Hu Zi was kneeling on one knee and told Li Qitian, "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life. The Holy One is as expected. The regent really left the palace. I will take the palace back with me."
"Okay!" Li Qitian was a little excited, and his voice couldn't help raising his voice, "How is the situation in the palace?"
"Go back to the sage, the queen mother was besieged by layers and was frightened, but it was not a serious problem. The empress was imprisoned in the Kunning Palace, and the doors and windows were sealed with wooden boards by the king of Li Jun. I left the Empress to eat and drink, but fortunately, the Empress has a tenacious temperament and is not too excited, and both the Empress and the Dragonborn are safe and sound."
Hearing that King Li Jun had locked up the pregnant queen without food or drink, everyone present frowned. Especially Qin Yining, as a pregnant woman, she understands the hardships of being pregnant most. The queen is safe now, which shows that her temperament is also very tough.
Li Qitian felt a fire in his heart.
He couldn't bear the various evil deeds of King Li Jun, and only thought that he must eat his flesh and sleep to relieve his hatred!
But now that the strategy of turning the tiger away from the mountain has worked, the palace has been recaptured, and it is not impossible to win the king of Li Jun.
"I see. The people around Guozhen Zhixi are extremely capable, and they can bring the soldiers from the Prince Zhongshun's Mansion and the Consort's Mansion back to the palace many times. I will remember the great deeds for you here!"
Hu Zi hurriedly said: "The grass people dare not take credit, it is really after I entered the palace, as long as I show the banner of the saint when I meet resistance, most people will share the same hatred with us. It can be seen that the king of Li Jun won. There are still a few people, most people still respect the orthodoxy of the saint, and look forward to the return of the saint!"
These words made Li Qitian very ironic.
In these days of ups and downs, everything Li Qitian had, including his life, was almost taken away. He really couldn't accept the repeated losses. Now someone told him that there were still people willing to remain loyal to him. The joy brought by this news was equivalent to telling him that he had successfully recaptured the palace.
Li Qitian stretched out his hands to help Hu Zi up.
Hu Zi was flattered and even claimed that "the grass people dare not".
Hu Zi was the bodyguard beside Pang Xiao, and he was no longer considered a member of the army. There was no official rank in the imperial court.
When Pang Xiao saw Li Qitian asking, he asked worriedly, "How about the casualties in the palace?"
The people Hu Zi brought this time were all the cronies of Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu. Excluding these people, Yu Linwei, Jin Wuwei and others in the palace were all living lives. If the soldiers fought against the Tartars, blood would be spilled On the battlefield, although Pang Xiao felt distressed, he would not be so impatient, but the problem was that the sacrifice this time was because of extracurricular branches.
Hu Zi said: "Go back to the lord, the casualties in the palace are okay, not many."
That is a lot.
Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu lowered their eyes at the same time, feeling very uncomfortable.
Li Qitian said with a smile: "I will reward those who helped to regain the throne this time, and all those who contributed this time will be rewarded heavily."
"Thank you, Sheng." Several people saluted and responded in a low voice.
In Li Qitian's eyes, even if the people who attacked the palace this time were all dead, there would still be less than a thousand people, not to mention that these were the elites of Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu, and it would be better if they died. For a battle to regain the throne, he felt that the sacrifice of thousands of people was already very little.
Li Qitian stood with his hands behind his back in high spirits. Although there were dark curtains blocking the light in front of him, he seemed to be in the Golden Palace, and everything was under control.
"Today is the day of the great court meeting, have you informed the court?"
Pang Xiao said: "Go back to the Holy One, I have already thought of a way to inform it."
"Very good. Everyone!" Li Qitian suddenly turned around and said proudly, "Follow me back to the palace."
"Yes."
With an order, everyone left the front hall without hesitation.
In front of the courtyard gate, a spacious carriage has been prepared. Several elite tiger guards lined up neatly left and right.
Li Qitian got on the carriage first, and then extended his hand to Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu with a smile: "Two worthy brothers, ride with me."
Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu looked at each other, did not refuse, and jumped up one after another.
Li Qitian looked at Qin Yining with a big belly, and said with a smile: "Brother and sister also get in the car."
Qin Yining secretly laughed, this invitation to buy people's hearts is beautiful, haven't the Jinghu guards seem to be satisfied with this move
