"Going to the water? How can you go to the water?" The queen mother got up in a panic and screamed.
The queen and Li Helan and other female relatives were also shocked.
They were really frightened by the original palace change, and now they suddenly heard about it, and they all panicked.
At this time, the guards outside the hall had walked quickly into the main hall of Ci'an Palace, knelt in front of the door and said: "Go back to the sage, the Qianqing Palace is going through the water, I don't know who is spreading rumors that the sage has already... The people in the palace are floating, and the fire is fierce, It's a mess right now."
Li Qitian's face was sinking like water, "I'm here so well, who would spread such rumors!"
The nobles said: "Sacred Master, this is obviously a deliberate design, taking this opportunity to do something wrong, ignorant people naturally do not know the whereabouts of the Sage, and they cannot be sure that the Sage is safe, so they will naturally listen to the rumors. I am afraid that the designer is waiting for the Sage to come forward to refute the rumors, intending to take the opportunity. assassinate!"
"Exactly. It is also possible for someone with a heart to spread rumors first, and then secretly besiege Ci'an Palace. It is better to evacuate quickly."
Everyone was talking, and the more they analyzed, the more solemn their expressions became.
At this time, there was another commotion outside the palace, and the palace servants shouted anxiously: "The Holy One has passed away, and the inner palace is going to be in chaos!"
Others shouted: "Run for your life, the saint is dead, the rebels are about to come in!"
These palace servants who have experienced mutiny in the palace still have a fresh memory of the original seizure of the palace.
The palace servants and the servants in Ci'an Palace did not dare to breathe. They knew that the Sage was still sitting inside safe and sound, but they wouldn't be frightened by such rumors and fled, but if the Sage heard these shouts outside, would they still be alive
The palace people had already knelt on the ground tremblingly, for fear of angering Tianyan.
Li Qitian listened to the shouts on the corridor outside the Ci'an Palace, and sneered: "It's amazing, I actually died, I don't even know. Haha!"
"The Holy One, please rest your anger."
Everyone stood up and saluted, tremblingly confessed, "I am incompetent."
Li Qitian waved his hand, "Sit down, maybe someone is impatient and wants to rebel."
While speaking, Li Qitian set his eyes on Qin Yining. He was very doubtful if Pang Xiao heard that Qin Yining had an accident, and rushed back to the capital to make such a scene.
If Pang Xiao really rebelled and Qin Yining was still in his hands, he would have one more chip and one more chance of winning.
Some of the female relatives were pale with fright, and some had already wiped away their tears. The Queen Mother was trembling in horror, never thinking that her Ci'an Palace would become a target.
"Emperor, how can this be good!"
Li Qitian just smiled lightly: "Mother don't need to worry."
Yu Xungui persuaded him: "The sage should still leave here. The palace people don't know the whereabouts of the sage, but maybe the rebels know that if a group of people really break into the Ci'an Palace, wouldn't the sage be in danger? The sage should hid quickly for safety. That's where it is."
One person proposed, many agreed.
Li Qitian looked at Ji Zeyu, who had remained silent and his expression as usual: "Ding Guogong, what do you think?"
"Go back to the sage, I thought it was inappropriate to move at this time." Ji Zeyu said concisely.
Li Qitian asked, "Why do you say that?"
Ji Zeyu said calmly: "If there are gangsters who really intend to harm Ci'an Palace, it is the best policy to stay here and wait for rescue. If you walk around randomly, you will be easily targeted, and the danger will be even greater."
Li Qitian smiled and nodded, "Aiqing is right."
"Holy. You still have to put your safety first!" Some people still didn't give up.
Li Qitian sat upright stubbornly, and said decisively: "I won't leave, but I want to see, what kind of rebels dare to make such a big list, dare to set fire to the Qing Palace, and dare to come to Ci'an Palace to arrest me!"
Li Qitian's words were loud and clear, obviously he didn't panic when he encountered such a thing.
Ji Zeyu got up at this time and said: "I would like to take people to the Qianqing Palace to catch the gangsters and share the worries for the Holy One!"
Li Qitian heard the words and nodded in agreement: "It's important to catch the gangsters, but if you stay here, someone else will go to the Qianqing Palace."
Ji Zeyu is a handsome man with superb martial arts skills. Having him by his side is an extra layer of protection. If he is stupid, he will be let go to the Qianqing Palace to catch the gangsters.
Ji Zeyu immediately understood what Li Qitian meant and cupped his hands: "I swear to protect the saint's safety to the death."
"Very good." Li Qitian nodded with a smile.
Ji Zeyu was like a needle for stabilizing the sea. When he heard that he would not leave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief in secret, as if there would be nothing wrong with Ci'an Palace if he was there.
Li Qitian ordered someone to go to the Qianqing Palace to check the situation, and then asked Ji Zeyu to command the guards to guard the Ci'an Palace closely.
The rest of the people stayed where they were, quietly listening to the movement outside.
The noise was louder than before. In the mouths of those palace servants, the emperor Li Qitian had passed away, and the dynasty was about to change.
None of the people present were not nervous, especially the queen.
Brother Hao is still in Kunning Palace! If the prince has three strengths and two weaknesses, how can she live as a mother
The family members of the ladies and nobles frowned worriedly. If there is a real change in the palace, then following Li Qitian is the most dangerous place. Once rebels come in, wouldn't they all become targets
Although they thought so, no one dared to walk away at this time. If they did leave, wouldn't it be obvious to Li Qitian that they would not accompany them and that they would die by themselves.
Qin Yining rolled her eyes and saw everyone's reactions. He still admired Li Qitian's calmness when he was in trouble. Perhaps most of the founding kings who fought for many years were as courageous as Li Qitian
A group of people sat in the Ci'an Palace in a depressed atmosphere for half an hour before Ji Zeyu quickly came back to report.
"Sir, the guards have already checked the situation and come back."
"speak."
"Yes." The guard stepped forward and kowtowed, saying: "Go back to the Holy One, the fire in the Qianqing Palace has been brought under control. Fortunately, the fire was controlled in time and the damage was not large, but several palace members of the Qianqing Palace died in the fire. It is certain that the fire started in the south of the Qianqing Palace, a small side room adjacent to the imperial study, and no trace of kerosene was found there."
Li Qitian nodded: "It seems that someone deliberately set fire to it."
"That's right. In addition, those who spread rumors have not found the source, but fortunately, the palace has been controlled."
Li Qitian's tense sitting posture relaxed. Everyone in the hall let out a long breath.
Li Qitian pondered: "I can't find where the source of the matter is, and stability is short-lived. Check, check it out for me!"
"Yes!"
The guard saluted and backed away respectfully.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyway, now that the situation has stabilized, their lives can be saved.
Qin Yining's heart sank.
Because she thought of Jiang Yuan, who helped her deliver the news a while ago, who was serving tea in the imperial study. She was not sure whether the fire today had anything to do with Jiang Yuan. Not sure if this person is still alive.
She wanted to know about Jiang Yuan's situation, because that was the person who was arranged by Pang Xiao and Ji Zeyu. She wanted to arrange the person in the imperial study room and be able to handle things at the entrance of Li Qitian herself. Is this a rare nail? But this time it was a matter of life and death.
Qin Yining's complexion was not good at all, she was overwhelmed by things in her heart, and her frowning appearance made her look even weaker.
Both Bingtang and Jiyun were afraid that Qin Yining would faint and be charged with disobedience in front of the king.
At this time, the Imperial Forest Army had completely controlled the situation in the palace.
Li Qitian also ordered people to rectify the palace here, to appease the messed up palace staff, and then continue to explore the source of the rumors.
"In the end, there is no danger." Li Qitian smiled and said to the people around him, "I can't believe that I asked everyone to come into the palace, but such a thing still happens. But today's event is a complete success, and Princess Zhongshun has been cleared of the crime. , which is also a good thing.”
"Saint is wise."
Everyone got up and saluted, and Qin Yining also got up and saluted.
Li Qitian looked at Qin Yining, his smile was as warm as the warm sun in winter, but what he said made Qin Yining feel uncomfortable.
"This time, I've really wronged you. You are also a proud person, and you have the power of the Qingtian League in your hands. It is because you are a woman, and if you were a man, I would have stayed by my side and used it."
Li Qitian's words said that all the nobles and nobles in the room cooperated with laughter and lively atmosphere.
Li Qitian nodded with satisfaction, and said again: "But fortunately, you are Pang Zhixi's daughter-in-law, and it is our own family. This matter has wronged you, but it is your own, so you won't mind, right?"
What can Qin Yining say? Li Qitian can say "don't mind" with a shy face, can she say "I do mind" in public
Today, she is lucky to be able to escape. She doesn't know why Li Qitian changed his attitude after hearing someone reply, giving her a chance to defend herself. She still understands.
Seeing that Qin Yining didn't speak, Li Qitian nodded with satisfaction and said, "Go back to where Chuxiugong lives to rectify and rest."
It's all developed like this, and she is not allowed to leave the palace
Qin Yining originally thought that Li Qitian might be released directly back to the mansion, but now it has become a futile. She knew in her heart that Li Qitian was afraid that she would act too freely outside and would do something that would affect his plans. Maybe he also cared about the Qingtian Alliance in her hands, otherwise Li Qitian would not have mentioned it in front of everyone. .
Everyone present was also surprised by Li Qitian's order, and the nobles couldn't help but exchange glances.
But no one dared to ask, let alone Biao found the slightest surprise and surprise.
The situation was stronger than that of people, so Qin Yining had to stand up and salute and said, "Thank you, the minister and wife."
Li Qitian nodded and told everyone to leave, and called Princess Tana again, saying, "Concubine Shun, please arrange someone to serve your guests."
Princess Tana nodded delicately, "My concubine knows."
