Chapter 326: Dark Clouds
Flowers are in full bloom, green willows are shady, when Jian'an is overwhelmed by the eyes of purple and red, a mighty army is embracing Qi Ling, Qi Yu and Qi Jiu and other clan disciples, since now it is still the fierce battle outside the Shanhai Pass has returned.

"Unfilial grandson Qi Xuan, please say hello to the concubine, may the concubine be safe and prosperous for all eternity."
"Okay, good children, get up quickly, come over and let the mourning family see."
In the Linyang Palace, under the head of Qi Ling, all the clan disciples who had just returned from the front line knelt in front of Concubine Meng and saluted her old man, and the most dazzling and non-negligible among them naturally belonged to those three people - Qi Ling, Qi Yu and Qi Jiu, the son of King Ying.
When the three people in the front stood up in response and walked in front of Concubine Meng respectfully, who would look elsewhere?
"It's been really hard for you all this time, look at how thin you have become? Did you suffer a lot outside Shanhaiguan? ”
Concubine Meng looked at this for a while, and then looked at that for a while, and after seeing that whether it was Qi Ling or Qi Yu, the whole person was much thinner than before, and immediately asked very distressedly.
"If you go back to the concubine, this is not a bitter thing, the sergeants who are still fighting bloodily on the front line at this time are really dying for the sake of our Qi family!"
After coming back from a circle outside Shanhaiguan, the current Qi Ling has already undergone a rebirth in both appearance and temperament, and what he said just now is also full of sonorous atmosphere.
"Yes, concubine, you don't have to worry about us, what we went to the battlefield to defend this time is also our Qi family's own country, this is originally the responsibility of the men of the Qi family such as me, and I can't bear any praise."
Qi Ling is in front, but it is not without people who will not be covered up too much.
Qi Yu, who was half a step behind Qi Ling and stood behind him, wasn't that such a character?
Therefore, it was not quietly waiting for Concubine Meng and her old man to move their eyes to herself, Qi Yu had already spoken first, and the attention of everyone who had just focused on Qi Ling suddenly came to her side again.
"Yu'er said it well, this is my Qi family's country, and it is a matter of course that the men of the Qi family will guard it personally."
Qi Yu's remarks were appreciated by Concubine Meng, which made the corners of Qi Yu's mouth slightly raised.
But if someone is happy, then there will naturally be unhappy people.
At this time, Empress Yang, who was half-sitting at the bottom of Concubine Meng, looked at the depths of Qi Yu's line of sight with a smile, and suddenly a touch of evil flashed.
But because this evil intention came and disappeared quickly, almost no one found it, so at this time everyone was still happy, at least on the surface, everyone in the Linyang Palace at this time was like an ordinary people's home, the most harmonious family gathering scene, the corners of everyone's eyebrows and eyes were extremely gentle and joyful, and it also seemed so sincere and unpretentious.
"Villain! It's really a villain, and it's really worthy of being born a slut, how dare you say something like 'my Qi family', is this Qi family's country yours? That's the great rivers and mountains of my Ji'er in the future, what does it have to do with that cheap species? ”
According to the etiquette system, Linyang Palace was originally one of the three main palaces where the queen could live, but due to the special status of Concubine Meng, whether it was in the previous Emperor Wen Dynasty or the current Emperor Cheng Dynasty, others did not dare to have any objections to the matter of Concubine Meng enjoying the Linyang Palace, so Queen Yang, who should have entered the Linyang Palace, could only succumb to the Shuyi Palace in the end.
But just when everyone thought that Queen Yang, who had always been proud, should be dissatisfied this time, Queen Yang was uncharacteristically extremely peaceful, and even in private, she never heard rumors that she was dissatisfied.
This is a big miracle, after all, in the past, even if others gave Queen Yang less than one gift and asked for one less peace, it was very likely to be hated.
But this time for such a big noise, Queen Yang put on such a willing attitude.
So how can you not make people wonder?
But others are strange to others, but Empress Yang will not solve the doubts of others, after all, her concession at the beginning, but in the end, in exchange for Emperor Cheng's agreement to summon Qi Ling back to Beijing, it is impossible for others to know about it no matter what.
What's more, although the Shuyi Hall is not as good as the Linyang Palace, it also has another benefit.
In this huge palace city, the closest to Zichen Hall is Shuyi Palace!
Empress Yang was able to force Qi Ling, who was so stubborn that ten cows couldn't pull it back, without a single soldier, not to mention, now she is still in the palace closest to Zichen Palace.
This is no matter what, in fact, the person who benefits more is Queen Yang, so what is she not satisfied with?
Therefore, for the matter of not being able to enter the Linyang Palace.
Empress Yang was not dissatisfied at all at this time, and on the contrary, she was still grateful to Concubine Meng.
If it weren't for her old man, how could she kill two birds with one stone so easily, not only to let De Ling'er leave the chaotic and war-filled Shanhaiguan, but also completely curb the opportunity for other concubines to get close to Zichen Palace, this is simply God helping her, Queen Yang is really too late to be happy, how can there be that idle effort to complain about others?
And it is no exaggeration to say that this recent period of time is the happiest time for Empress Yang, especially when she received that Qi Ling had arrived in Beijing this morning, and the joy had already reached its peak.
If he hadn't heard Qi Yude's words when he was in Linyang Palace just now, then maybe this joy and joy could have been maintained for a longer time, but now it is obviously impossible.
With a wave of her hand, Empress Yang threw all the soft silk pillows on the red sandalwood kang carved with dragons and phoenixes to the ground.
But although Empress Yang threw with great force, just like her voice that was full of cold but deliberately suppressed it, when these soft silk pillows were thrown to the ground, the people outside couldn't hear any movement at all.
In Jian'an, everyone knows that Empress Yang is quite arrogant, but who knows that Empress Yang is actually so cautious?
Even if the person who made her angry at this time was the biggest thorn in her eye, but Empress Yang could still be so restrained in her Shuyi Palace, if this was seen by others, it would probably stir up a thousand waves with one stone.
"The queen mother is angry, you have a jade body and a precious body, how can you hurt yourself for that kind of subordinate."
At this time, there was only one person in the dormitory besides Queen Yang, Mama Yu.
Mama Yu was not afraid of Queen Yang's anger at this time, stepped forward to help her and gently sat on the kang, and persuaded Queen Yang: "Some people are wolf ambitions, and they always love Xiao and think about things that don't belong to them. Anyway, now that the second prince is back, what else can't be done. ”
After all, he is the old man by Queen Yang's side.
A sentence immediately pierced her heart, and the anger that was still high was slowly dissipated at this time.
"What Mama said is, I'm also a little too careful, he is a lowly concubine of his maiden family, what can he do if he has the ability? Could it really be that you can really turn the sky upside down? ”
Empress Yang said with a sneer.
"Niangniang is very right, even if the villain has the ability, it is still a villain, our current priority is not the third prince, but the eldest prince!" At the end, Mama Yu naturally kept her voice to the lowest.
Since the founding of the Western Yin Dynasty, the national law has been written in black and white, and the throne will not be passed on to the long, and the long will not be passed on to the young!
And it just so happens that there are only two sons in law of Emperor Cheng now, one is Qi Heng, the eldest son of Emperor Cheng Yuan, and the other is Qi Ling, the second son of Empress Yang.
In this way, no matter from which aspect, the only person who is legal and should be made the crown prince is the eldest prince Qi Heng, not the biological son of the current Empress Yang, the second prince Qi Xuan.
And the worst thing now has to be that although Emperor Cheng has just ascended the throne, in order to stabilize people's hearts in the court, he is already urging the emperor to set up the prince of the country and the lord of the East Palace as soon as possible.
Otherwise, when Qi Huai was not abolished, what kind of life did she live with Qi Cheng? Empress Yang hadn't forgotten those things at all, so in that case, how could she allow this kind of thing to happen again?
"Your Majesty has only been on the throne for a few days, and the court has been urging the prince?"
Empress Yang snorted coldly without smiling: "Others may not dare to say more, but Your Majesty is not allowed to be rubbed and flattened." Mama Yu, what I asked you to do, how can I do it at this time? ”
"Niangniang, please rest assured, everything is going well, the eldest prince may think that he is hiding it well, but in fact, the famous prostitute who was raised by him outside the palace has already been discovered, and it will be seen whether the admonition platform will let him go."
On Mama Yu's old face, a slight smile appeared at this time, and the smug look was almost exactly the same as that of Queen Yang.
"Hmph, I have been holding him for so many years and have found nothing, but I didn't expect him to send it to the door by himself today."
"This is all the great blessing of the queen mother."
"Huh...... Whether it is a big fortune or a small blessing, as long as Qi Heng's character corruption can be convicted this time, then the palace will be satisfied. ”
At this time, Empress Yang changed her expression that was still angry just now.
The still slender and slender body leaned lazily on the red sandalwood kang carved with dragons and phoenixes.
Suddenly, there was a dense color of mockery between the eyebrows and eyes.
In Xiyin, although the folk customs have always been very open, but that is only compared to the previous dynasty, and today's Xiyin is still governed by filial piety, and filial piety and righteousness still account for a very deep part of the hearts of the people at the time, so if a person's ethics are stained, especially if he is still a candidate for the prince, then as long as it is determined, if there is no accident, it is already a fate with the East Palace.
And behaviors such as raising famous prostitutes outside the palace, etc., can already be marked with the four big characters of "absurdity", how can Queen Yang not be at ease about this?
The Shuyi Palace, which was still on the top of the dark cloud at the last moment, was already sunny again at this time.
But on the contrary, in Xiao Yunyu at this time, it was still warm and quiet like a spring breeze at the last moment, but after the arrival of a person, Xiao Yunyu was immediately extremely depressed.
"What should I do, do you want to go in and have a look?"
"No, you don't know, when I just went in with tea, the atmosphere was really scared to death."
Under the eaves outside the house, because they were all sent out by Liang Ming, Qingmao and Nian Xiang were sitting next to the white jade fence at this time, and they were talking in a low voice with some worry and fear.
But just when the two of them thought that their voices had been very low and they were very careful, a voice suddenly came out next to them, "Sister Qingqi, when you just went in, did you hear what my eldest lady and Miss Liang San were saying?" ”
"Nope."
Qingzhu and Nianxiang, who were originally biting their ears, were startled by Mo'er who suddenly made a sound.
Therefore, it was a little unpleasant to speak at this time, especially Qingzhu directly pulled Mo'er over, twisted her little ears and scolded: "You are really becoming more and more 'well-behaved', you don't say hello to us first, you dare to scare people behind your back." ”
"Ouch, ouch, my good sister Qingjiao, you let go of me first, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts." Mo'er held Qingzhu's hand and hurriedly begged for mercy.
"You still know it's going to hurt, so hurry up and recruit it." Qingzhu laughed.
"Recruited from the truth? What's the matter? ”
But Mo'er didn't react for a while, she didn't know what Qingzhu was talking about, she had just ordered her own carriage from the second gate, how could she know what Qingzhu and Nianxiang were referring to.
"You're still pretending to be stupid, of course you want you to tell us what happened to your eldest lady, she appeared here early in the morning, don't say anything that didn't happen."
Since Mo'er is here, the person in the house at this time can only be Zhong Qing, and the person who went to the Zhendong General's Mansion early this morning to find Liang Cheng to "catch up" is indeed Zhong Qing.
It's just that with Zhong Qing's arrival, there is still a very depressing atmosphere, which makes Xiao Yunli also cautious at this time, as if he is in the house now, no matter how he asks, he doesn't say anything, just the person who sits in a daze silently is not Zhong Qing, but Liang Cheng.
