Ling Haoyue went to the palace with Princess Hua'an, and Emperor Xiqin met the envoys of Southern Qi in Taihe Palace, Ling Haoyue originally followed him temporarily, so she smiled at Princess Hua'an and said: "Fei'er, Your Majesty will meet you in Taihe Palace, and I won't go to join in the fun." โ€

Princess Hua'an smiled and nodded.

Watching Qin Jingzhong lead Wei Zhao and Princess Hua'an into Taihe Palace, Ling Haoyue looked outside the hall and happened to see Xiao Xiazi. Xiao Xiazi was Hu Quan's apprentice, and Ling Haoyue remembered him.

"Natsuko-chan. โ€

Xiao Xiazi saw that it was Ling Haoyue who beckoned him over, and hurriedly trotted forward: "You have just met the princess, what does the princess have to tell the slaves?"

is a clever little eunuch, worthy of being trained by Hu Quan.

Ling Haoyue smiled lightly and asked, "The palace accompanied Princess Hua'an of Nanqi, why didn't he see the six princes of Nanqi, but His Majesty is receiving him?"

"No, I didn't see the six princes come today. โ€

Ling Haoyue's face changed slightly, and she said with a smile: "This is strange, Princess Hua'an just said, why didn't her imperial brother come to pick her up, and this palace also comforted her that His Majesty was receiving him, this time it's good, this palace can't be rounded." โ€

"Princess, don't worry, this is not the princess's business, where did these six princes go, how can you possibly know, Princess Hua'an will understand. "Xiao Xiazi has a sweet mouth, but it will comfort people.

Ling Haoyue shook her head and said, "No, no, if Princess Hua'an comes out and still thinks about this, won't the palace be embarrassed." Xiao Xiazi, you are Gonggong Hu's apprentice, you are the most familiar in this palace, you go to help the palace inquire, where the six princes went, and the palace can give an explanation to Princess Hua'an. โ€

As she spoke, Ling Haoyue took out a heavy purse from her arms and stuffed it into his hand.

Xiao Xiazi was a little embarrassed: "This ...... Princess, you told the minions to do it immediately, this ...... You'd better keep it. โ€

Ling Haoyue said with a smile: "There is a difference between men and women, it is not easy to inquire in this palace, this is another hard work, you run errands for this palace, this is the palace reward for you." โ€

Xiao Xiazi was originally half-pushed, but when he looked around and saw that no one saw it, he immediately stuffed it into his sleeve, squinted and smiled: "Slave thank you for the reward." "The purse is heavy, and when you touch it, you know that there is a lot of silver in it.

"Princess Hua'an may come out when, can this palace avoid embarrassment, but it is tied to Xiao Xiazi. โ€

Xiao Xiazi smiled and saluted: "Please rest assured, princess, the slave will go." โ€

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Seeing that Xiao Xiazi was walking away, Lily of the Valley hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Princess, what are you doing asking about this, when will we go back?"

Originally, he was supposed to go back to the Lingguo Mansion after coming out of Jishitang, but why did he come to the palace in a daze now?

"This palace always feels that the envoys of the Southern Qi are strange, and it seems that Qi Yan probably doesn't know about it at all, and this palace is really a little worried. โ€

Ling Haoyue frowned slightly, her intuition told her that there must be something strange in this, so she had to follow Qin Jingzhong to greet the envoys of Southern Qi.

Lily of the Valley scratched her head, still a little incomprehensible, but seeing Ling Haoyue's worried look, she didn't dare to ask again, for fear of annoying her, so she had to persuade a few words: "Princess, don't worry too much, Your Highness is the prince of Nanqi, what can happen." โ€

Ling Haoyue sighed lightly: "I only hope that Xiao Xiazi can find Qi Yan soon." "She wants to talk to Princess Hua'an before Qi Yan meets him.

"Princess, do you want to go to Shou'an Palace to sit and stand here, I don't know how long you have to wait?"

Ling Haoyue knew that Lily of the Valley was well-intentioned, she was pregnant at the moment, she had been standing for too long, and it was easy to lose her physical strength, but now she was in her heart, always hanging, and it was uncomfortable to sit.

"No, you have to wait for Qi Yan. โ€

Seeing that she insisted, Lily of the Valley didn't dare to say anything at the moment, so she had to help her carefully.

After a while, I saw Xiao Xiazi running back out of breath.

Ling Haoyue's eyes lit up: "Have you found someone?"

Xiao Xiazi gasped fiercely and said, "The slave didn't see the sixth prince, but I found out where he went, and I was afraid that the princess would be in a hurry, so I hurriedly ran over to tell you." โ€

"Where?" Ling Haoyue asked, her fingers clenched quietly, but don't let anything happen.

Xiao Xiazi replied: "The sixth prince, he ...... He is the prison of Dali Temple. โ€

Jail?

"The slave still listened to the squire of the criminal department on the road, and a few hours ago, the sixth prince went to the prison of Dali Temple with the Marquis of Fengjiang, as if to identify some prisoner. โ€

Ling Haoyue was clear, and Qi Yan went to kill King Ning.

It's just that she doesn't understand, it's been a few days since King Ning was escorted to the capital, how could it be so coincidental, just the day when the envoys of Southern Qi came, and it was a few hours ago, what was so strange about it?

"Princess, do you have any other orders?" Xiao Xiazi saw that Ling Haoyue's face seemed to be a little bad, so he hurriedly lowered his head and asked.

Ling Haoyue waved her hand: "No, Xiao Xiazi, you go down first and have a good rest, it's hard to come and go back and forth." โ€

Xiao Xiazi smiled and said, "It's not hard, it's not hard, how can it be hard to do things for the master?"

"The servant retired. Xiao Natsuko pinched the silver in her sleeve and walked away with a smile on her face.

"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Ling Haoyue's brows frowning slightly, Lily of the Valley hurriedly asked.

Ling Haoyue shook her head and said, "I don't know why, this palace just feels unsteady in my heart. โ€

After thinking for a moment, he said: "No, this palace is going to Dali Temple." โ€

Lily of the valley hurriedly grabbed her: "Princess, no, this Dali Temple is a place where officials from the DPRK and China go, and you will be gossiped about when you go there." โ€

Dali Temple is a place to try cases and detain prisoners, although Ling Haoyue is a princess, but going there will be criticized.

Ling Haoyue couldn't care so much: "Then change into men's clothes, you must go to the palace." โ€

"Men's clothes?" Lily of the Valley was stunned, the princess wore men's clothes, how could this be.

"But where is the men's clothing?" Lily of the valley looked at the clothes on her body, a woman's outfit, where to find men's clothes in this deep palace compound.

"Go to Shou'an Palace, there must be guards in my grandmother's palace. โ€

Lily of the valley hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, no, princess, you are a golden branch and jade leaf, how can you wear the clothes of a guard?"

"Isn't it useless for this palace to speak?" Ling Haoyue knew that if she was not serious, Lily of the Valley would still be chattering, and with an angry look, Lily of the Valley had to shut up.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Ling Haoyue didn't say hello to the Queen Mother, she directly found a trusted guard, changed her clothes, and rushed directly to Dali Temple.

"Stop, don't trespass on the prison of Dali Temple. โ€

Seeing that someone stopped them, Lily of the Valley suddenly turned pale with fright, and hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to speak.

Ling Haoyue naturally raised her head and said with a smile: "We are the guards of the six princes of Southern Qi, and if we have something to say to our Royal Highness, we also ask the officials to be accommodating and let me in." โ€

Ling Haoyue originally wanted to bring out the name of the Empress Dowager of Shou'an Palace, but after thinking about it, the relationship between His Majesty and the Empress Dowager was not the affinity on the surface, so it was better not to implicate the Empress Dowager in this matter, and it was best to do things in the name of Qi Yan.

"The people of the Six Princes?"

Seeing that the other party had doubts, Ling Haoyue feigned anger: "My Highness is inside, you don't let me in, do you want to let His Highness come out?"

A small official guarding the door of Dali Temple didn't have the courage to ask Qi Yan to come out, and when he saw that the other party was angry, he had to open the door and let them in. But he was still not at ease, so he personally led them in.

"Come with me. โ€

Sure enough, Qi Yan was standing outside the cell, and Wen Mohan was also there.

"Your Highness, these two people said that they were your guards, and they had something to tell you. The little official bowed to Qi Yan and explained.

Qi Yan recognized it as Ling Haoyue at a glance. didn't know if it was him, Wen Mohan next to him also recognized her. Ling Haoyue changed into men's clothes, and her face was just hurriedly handled, as long as she looked at it twice, she could also find clues, but fortunately, no one in Dali Temple had seen Ling Haoyue, so she didn't recognize it.

"Hmm. Qi Yan responded. The little official breathed a sigh of relief, if it was, if not, it would be bad.

Qi Yan walked forward quickly and asked, "Why are you here, what's the matter?"

Ling Haoyue leaned into his ear and whispered, "Princess Hua'an and Wei Zhao are here, and they are in Taihe Palace." โ€

When Qi Yan heard this, his face changed slightly, and it was obvious that he didn't know about this matter.

"When?"

"Half an hour ago. โ€

"Your Highness, this person has also seen it, so it is better to go out first. Wen Mohan said.

Qi Yan smiled faintly: "No need, someone should come in a while." โ€

As soon as the words fell, someone came.

"Your Majesty has a decree to send the six princes to Taihe Palace. โ€

Ling Haoyue hurriedly lowered her head, she still recognized this voice, it was Xiao Qingfeng.

Qi Yan raised his feet and stepped forward, but in fact, he blocked Ling Haoyue behind him: "It's really an honor for this hall to have Lord Lao Xiao run in person." โ€

Xiao Qingfeng didn't have a good face for him, and said lightly: "Your Majesty sent me here from King Zhining." โ€

As he spoke, he said to Wen Mohan again: "Wenhou, Your Majesty said that you will go to Taihe Palace together, and this King Ning will be handed over to me to escort you to Taihe Palace." โ€

Wen Mohan replied: "Well, King Ning is a repeat offender, you should be more careful." โ€

Xiao Qingfeng nodded, he also understood that when the envoy of Southern Qi arrived, His Majesty attached great importance to it, so he sent him to personally escort King Ning to Taihe Palace.

Xiao Qingfeng walked past Qi Yan and passed by Ling Haoyue, Ling Haoyue's expression and demeanor were quite normal, Xiao Qingfeng didn't notice it, but the lily of the valley behind Ling Haoyue couldn't help but tremble, which naturally attracted Xiao Qingfeng's attention.

"Wait......" Xiao Qingfeng suddenly turned around, pointed at Lily of the Valley, and said sharply: "Who is this person?"

Lily of the valley lowered her head even harder, she didn't dare to raise her head, she was afraid that she would be recognized by Xiao Qingfeng as soon as she raised her head, her legs shook unconsciously, she was nervous, scared, and afraid......
