The conversation changed and he asked worriedly: "Is the princess okay? The emperor didn't do anything to you, right?"
Wen Qingzhu shook his head, thinking of the last words he heard before going to bed, he was very worried.
Not long after, Wei Ziying came to the door: "Is the princess in there?"
"Here!" Wen Qingzhu turned around and came down. She didn't take off her clothes or slippers last night. Jiang Yuanhan's bed had a weird softness, which made her sleep very uncomfortable.
When Wei Ziying came in, he saw Wen Qingzhu's red and swollen eyes. He looked inside and found that there was no one inside, so he couldn't help but ask, "Where is the emperor?"
"I don't know." Wen Qingzhu answered simply, walked out quickly, and asked about Xiao Fangzi's whereabouts.
As a result, the palace guard outside the door told her that about half an hour ago, Xiao Fangzi went to the imperial chef for something.
Wen Qingzhu sent someone to ask the imperial chef again, but naturally there was no answer.
Suddenly, she thought of a place.
The group quickly arrived at Qingning Palace and soon found Wei Qinglin in the main hall.
When she saw Wen Qingzhu and Wei Ziying, she was still stunned: "Why are you here?"
Wen Qingzhu immediately asked: "Did the Emperor come just now?"
"Well, I just left." Wei Qinglin pointed to the door.
Seeing Wen Qingzhu's anxious expression, she suddenly understood something: "Is the emperor's illness cured?"
Wen Qingzhu shook his head and looked at her: "No, but he should know that he did something wrong."
Turning to look in the direction of the Liang family and the Lu family, I was afraid that Liang Pingshu would not let the emperor go, and Lu Chengfei was afraid that...
"Prime Minister Wei! I won't be able to attend today's morning meeting! Also, please write a letter to Zuotang and ask him to hold Lu Chengfei back and prevent him from going to the front line."
Wei Ziying nodded, and Wen Qingzhu asked Wei Qinglin to have a good rest in Qingning Palace, and she left the palace immediately.
After arriving at Fengguo Temple, Wen Qingzhu discovered the traces left by Wen Mingliang in the Zen monastery where Huixin lived. She rushed to the graves of Huixin and Wen Qingxin and saw the incense that someone had just inserted.
After carefully distinguishing the footprints on the ground, Wen Qingzhu fell into deep thought.
What on earth is Jiang Yuanhan going to do? If he wanted to atone for his sins, how would he atone for his sins
At this time, news came from Yang Jiu that there was Jiang Yuancheng's whereabouts.
Wen Qingzhu suddenly froze, and Lu Tao couldn't believe it. He looked at Wen Qingzhu blankly: "Princess, is the emperor going to see Jiang Yuan?"
"Probably not. Wei Lin knows that meeting Jiang Yuancheng is a very dangerous act. The child in Zhao'er's belly hasn't come out yet. If something happens to him..." Wen Qingzhu thought seriously for a long time and finally thought of a place!
Wen Qingzhu looked in the direction of the palace and said, "Yun Wan!"
He immediately rushed back to the palace, but he didn't expect the imperial army to have surrounded the palace. Wei Yu led the troops and Fan Yu assisted.
Wen Qingzhu stepped forward and asked, "What happened?"
"A traitor appeared. Didn't the princess order us to guard the capital heavily and then search the capital?" Wei Yu felt a little strange.
"Yes, who spread the word?" Wen Qingzhu admitted directly, but then asked the next question.
Although Wei Yu felt strange, she didn't ask any more questions and replied, "Miss Xi'er, Mr. Jin is also here with me."
"It is indeed him!" Wen Qingzhu understood clearly and asked Wei Yu and the others to continue as planned, while she entered the palace and walked towards the place where Yun Wan was imprisoned.
On the long cold palace road, Wen Qingzhu saw three figures from a distance, as if they had been soaked in water, dripping wet from head to toe.
Wen Qingzhu walked up quickly, looked at them and asked, "Have you met Jiang Yuancheng?"
Xi'er shook her head: "No, the person here is Mei Zhen, we have fallen into a trap."
At this time, Jiang Yuanhan took out half a piece of soaked paper: "But it's not all in vain. I finally know where Jiang Yuancheng's soldiers are hiding."
Wen Qingzhu took the soaked paper in his hand. Many of the writings on it were spread out, but two words could be vaguely discerned - Ling Yun.
She raised her head and looked at them: "In Lingyun Mountain?"
Jin Yuanbao casually took out the map, spread it out on the palm of his hand, pointed at a large area of Lingyun Mountain and said: "This place belongs to Lingyun Mountain. It seems that we need to search it carefully."
Thinking of the rubbing letter sent by Fan Yu last night, Wen Qingzhu found clues about the letter from Fan Ling's letter.
Wen Qingzhu said with certainty: "There is no need to search them all! I may know where they will hide."
Back at Xuanzheng Hall, Wei Ziying was waiting for her.
"The matters assigned by the princess have been completed." After Wei Ziying finished speaking, he looked in the direction of the apse and asked cautiously, "Has the emperor come out?"
Wen Qingzhu hummed as he walked behind the desk and sat down.
Wei Ziying quickly asked: "The emperor is cured?!"
There was a hint of unnoticeable excitement and joy in his words.
The hand holding the secret letter from the military camp suddenly stopped. Wen Qingzhu raised his eyes and said, "I'm sorry, the emperor's illness is really good, and he still wants to kill the regent."
These words made Wei Ziying's heart tremble. Is the situation still the same as before
Worry came to mind again.
Wen Qingzhu picked up the latest secret letter and looked at it, and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Very good, Ruan Mi will be back soon."
"Has the matter in Youzhou been resolved?" Wei Ziying was half relieved.
Wen Qingzhu laughed and handed him the secret letter: "It's not a solution, but God bless the Qi Dynasty. King Xianbei died, the edict disappeared, and several of his sons began to compete for the throne. The third prince took the initiative to seek help, and Ruan Mi gave He left a military advisor behind."
"Are you planning to support the third prince?" Wei Ziying admired Ruan Mi's courage. He had never asked the capital's opinion.
Reaching out and picking up the secret letter sent from Dingyuan, Wen Qingzhu saw the news that Xianbei had withdrawn its troops and rushed back to Xianbei as expected.
Historically, the Xiongnu looked down upon Rouran and never had any contact with it.
On the other hand, Xianbei has always had a close relationship with Rouran. Every time Rouran was defeated, it was Xianbei who sent life-saving food.
This time Xianbei withdraws, Rouran will definitely stay for a short time.
As for Ruan Mi's unhesitating support of the third prince, Wen Qingzhu said with a smile: "The third prince of Xianbei went to the princess of Qi. Isn't it normal for him to seek help from his in-laws?"
Seeing that Wen Qingzhu had the same idea, Wei Ziying felt a little relieved. After all, if he didn't agree with Wen Qingzhu's plan, there might be some conflict.
After Wei Ziying left, someone from the palace came in and reported: "Princess, Lord Fan wants to see you."
Wen Qingzhu raised his eyes and said without hesitation: "No."
She then continued to get the secret letter sent from Dingyuan, not wanting to be stunned by what was said in it as soon as she opened it.
After a long time, Lu Tao noticed something strange about her and asked uneasily: "Princess?"
After hearing the voice and coming back to his senses, Wen Qingzhu looked over in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Lu Tao turned around and brought hot tea over, and was about to ask her what was going on, when he saw the last line on the secret letter.
Ji Shang died in the line of duty for his country, and his body is being transported back to Beijing at the request of the regent.
Lu Tao's hand shook. She knew very well how important Mr. Ji was to Wen Qingzhu.
Even without Fu Lie, Mr. Ji is still an irreplaceable person in Wen Qingzhu's heart.
She quickly put down the tea cup, went over to hold Wen Qingzhu's hand and asked, "Would you like to take a rest first, Princess?"
Wen Qingzhu shook his head: "It's okay, I'll finish the things at hand first."
Gently pushing Lu Tao away, she continued to deal with the secret letter.
Until late at night, Lu Tao came over for the eleventh time and asked her: "Princess, you haven't eaten at noon, why don't you eat some?"
Wen Qingzhu didn't even look at Lu Tao and refused directly: "No! I'm not hungry! I need to discuss it with the Ministry of Rites. Although the teacher is not an official, he died in the line of duty for Qi State, so he should be prepared."
"Miss!" Lu Tao looked at her trying to distract her attention, and finally couldn't help crying, "Can you please stop being like this? If you act like this, I will be scared!"
No matter when, Wen Qingzhu had never had such a reaction. He tried his best to pretend that nothing was wrong and wanted to fill himself with busyness.
The more this happened, the more obvious the sadness and resistance on her face became.
No matter what Lu Tao said, Wen Qingzhu had no reaction, which made her very scared.
It's definitely not going to work like this.
Suddenly, Lu Tao remembered the regent's instructions before leaving, saying that if something happened to the princess, go to Lei's house to find Lei Xiao.
Lu Tao left in a hurry and met Su Huo at the palace gate. She didn't even hear Su Huo call her.
Su Huo looked at her back and frowned at the palace. Could something have happened to Wen Qingzhu
Thinking of what You Duan said when he was trapped for the last time, Su Huo decided to go see Wen Qingzhu first.
Before reaching the entrance of Xuanzheng Hall, Su Huo saw Jiang Yuanhan standing at the entrance of the main hall, with his back on his back, looking motionless into the room.
Su Huo felt even more nervous and walked over quickly. When he came behind Jiang Yuanhan, he could clearly see what was going on in the house.
Wen Qingzhu curled up on the dragon chair, hugging his knees with his hands and burying his head inside, trembling momentarily.
Wen Qingzhu's intermittent crying came from the empty house. The sound was not loud, but the sorrow in the voice made Su Huo feel extremely uncomfortable.
"What happened to her?" Su Huo, always calm, asked quickly.
Jiang Yuanhan looked at the small figure on the dragon throne. He seemed to have gone in to protect her, but he knew very well that at this time, even if Fu Lie was here, it would be of no use.
After a long while, he finally said: "Mr. Ji passed away."
"How could it be possible?!" Su Huo subconsciously felt that it was impossible. Firstly, no ordinary person could kill Ji Shang, and secondly, Ji Shang would not have risked his life. Besides, Fu Lie had already gone...
After calculating the time, Fu Lie should not have arrived in Dingyuan by this time.
But the news from Dingyuan has been sent back.
Su Huo had a bad guess that the situation over there in Dingyuan was very bad.
At this time, Lu Tao came in a hurry with Lei Xiao who was dressed in plain clothes.
Arriving at the door, Lei Xiao was surprised that Su Huo and the emperor were also here.
But thinking about their relationship with Wen Qingzhu, he felt relieved.
After saluting, he quickly walked in and came to Wen Qingzhu.
Except for the emperor and his ministers, Lei Xiao actually felt sorry for this child. After all, he was also a descendant of an old friend.
"Girl."
As soon as his voice appeared, Wen Qingzhu raised his head, the tears on his face showing his extreme vulnerability.
She looked at Lei Xiao blankly: "Master Lei, the teacher is dead, he is dead, how could he die? There is no way he can die!"
Looking into Wen Qingzhu's eyes, Lei Xiao stretched out his rough right hand, stroked the top of her head, and comforted: "Everyone dies, not to mention that your teacher died in Dingyuan, which can be regarded as fulfilling his wish when he was young. "
"Teacher's wish when he was young?" Wen Qingzhu was a little confused. She knew many things about her teacher, but not everything.
Especially what happened when the teacher was young, he rarely mentioned it.
Lei Xiao is different. He is a generation older than Ji Shang and knows Ji Shang's affairs very well.
"That's right. Even though your teacher rejected the late emperor, he actually wanted to do something for Qi. It was just that he didn't agree with the late emperor's approach, so he decided to study wholeheartedly. Now he sacrificed his life for the country and died on the battlefield. It can be regarded as realizing his wish." Lei Xiao seemed to be thinking of his old father, enlightening the confused child.
Wen Qingzhu nodded: "If that's the case, then the teacher must have no regrets. His wife left early, and he was actually very lonely alone."
Lei Xiao wanted to say something else, but listening to Wen Qingzhu's comforting words, he couldn't bear it again.
