We stood in the pavilion and watched the rickety carriage disappear at the end of the road, before everyone got into their carriage and walked back.

The carriage swayed, accompanied by the sound of monotonous wheels, which made the people in the carriage drowsy, and I watched Chang Qing slowly close her eyes several times, thinking that she was asleep, but the next moment, I could hear her low, long sigh.

It seems that the heaviness in her heart has made her lose the right to rest.

After entering the palace gate, we got out of the carriage, although someone carried a sedan chair to pick up, but Chang Qing refused to take the sedan chair, and wanted to walk back slowly. Naturally, a few of us couldn't say anything, so we could only accompany her and walk behind her. After a while, seeing that I was about to reach the fork in the road, Fu Badai was going to take Cha Bixing back to Jixian Palace, and I was about to say hello to them, when I suddenly saw Chang Qing also stopped, looked to the other side, and then said with a smile: "Master Taifu, this is going back to Jixian Palace." ”

The two of them hurriedly looked at Chang Qing respectfully: "Yes." ”

"It just so happens that the palace is also tired, and I want to go to the Jixian Hall to have a look. ”

“……”

"Let's go. ”

Not only Fu Badai and the others were stunned for a moment, but this time I was also stunned, but when they saw Chang Qing walking over there so generously, no one dared to slack off, and they all hurriedly followed.

Actually, all the way back, I can feel that her feelings are very low, after all, now that the only relatives are gone, even the prince is not around, people will feel very lonely and helpless at this time, maybe it is like this, she doesn't want to go back to Jingren Palace more and more?

Fu Badai asked Zha Bixing to rush back to clean up first, and when we arrived at the Jixian Palace, incense had been lit in the house, and after a while, an attendant served hot tea.

Chang Qing sat down and took a sip, and his pale face regained a little heat and ruddyness.

She looked up at us all standing aside, and said, "Sit down." ”

"Thank you for the seat. ”

Zha Bixing helped Fu Badai to sit down, but he still stood obediently behind the teacher, I looked at him, and he squeezed his eyes at me.

I couldn't help but laugh.

At this time, Chang Qing said, "I'm here today to disturb Master Taifu." ”

"Don't dare, I don't know that the queen is coming, and I haven't prepared properly, it's the old minister who is negligent. ”

Chang Qing smiled faintly, and then said: "Actually, I have long wanted to come to Jixian Hall to have a look, but I can't be empty. In the past few years, the deep knowledge has increased a lot, and it is all the credit of Master Taifu. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare. ”

"This way forward," Chang Qing paused suddenly, and then said with a smile: "I also hope that Lord Taifu can dial the prince more." ”

These words made everyone stunned for a moment.

Fu Badai may not be as heart-wrenching to Pei Nianshen as a few of our students, but for so many years in Beijing, he is the only one who has spent hard work, and Chang Qing suddenly talked about this, which made people feel a little surprised.

However, Fu Badai still smiled calmly: "Queen Mother, please rest assured." This time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in Henan Province to control the water, and I heard that he was very diligent, and the local people also praised His Royal Highness the Prince, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the style of a benevolent person. ”

Chang Qing said: "The prince has a benevolent temperament, and the palace is deeply pleased, but he is also really worried. ”

Fu Badai said: "What is the queen worried about?"

"I'm worried about the prince's temperament, it's too benevolent. ”

“……”

"Besides, outside the palace, after all, it is different from the palace, the southeast and northwest winds, I don't know which wind is holding a sword, the prince is still young, in fact, let him go out to practice at such a young age, the heart of the palace is really a little uneasy. Besides, the time is not short now, and it is time for him to come back. ”

Fu Badai listened quietly, and smiled at this time: "It's good for the queen mother to talk to the emperor about this." ”

Chang Qing smiled faintly: "It's not that the palace hasn't said it, it's just that the emperor is too busy these days, and I hope that Lord Taifu will also tell the emperor, and the emperor has always been obedient to Taifu." ”

"This, the old minister doesn't dare. The queen's orders, the old minister obeyed. ”

"Then I'll thank Master Taifu. ”

After speaking, Chang Qing took another sip of tea, maybe it was the hot tea that made her complexion a little better, she chatted with Fu Badai for a few more words, and then got up to say goodbye. It's just that when she got up, she saw that I was a little hesitant, so she smiled and said, "You can stay here lightly, you master and apprentice must have something to say, so you don't have to accompany me." ”

I hurriedly said, "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”

She smiled and turned to leave.

A few of us have been sending her out of the Jixian Palace, looking at the backs of her and her servants slowly moving away, Fu Badai and I didn't speak for a while, but we stood on tiptoe and looked at it for a while before turning around: "This queen mother, what does this one mean today?"

I looked at Fu Badai, although his eyes couldn't see, but at the moment they were also looking into the distance, as if he could see far and think further.

I said, "What does the teacher think?" ”

Fu Badai paused for a moment, ignored us, turned around and walked in, Zha Bixing hurriedly went up to help him, and heard him say slowly: "I can't even see through this, do you still want to ask me?"

I glanced at Zha Bixing and I, and I said: "Chang Taishi has just been sued by Zha Bixing, and today he left the capital and returned to his hometown, and the queen mother will come to Jixian Hall immediately, which is naturally a gesture of goodwill to us, and no longer pursue the matter of suing the emperor before." ”

“……”

"And, His Highness the Prince—"

I think that all the qiē she did was for the prince, just like she said to me that day, in the future, she will go as far as she can accompany the prince. As soon as Chang Yan Bai left, although Wu Yanqiu got up, after all, the qualifications were still not enough for Shangnangong Jinhong;

Today, I came to show goodwill to Fu Badai and Zha Bixing, which is very meaningful to Nian Shen's future path.

However, I remembered what she had just said, she hoped that Fu Badai would tell Pei Yuanhao to let Nian Shen stop practicing outside, and go back to the palace as much as possible.

Could it be ......

At this time, we had already walked back, and Zha Bixing helped Fu Badai into the house, and just sat down, I said softly: "Prince, is there any danger outside?"

Fu Badai said: "As the prince of the country, the prince will naturally be in danger from time to time. Even if you return to the palace, you may not be safe. ”

"However, when I look at the queen just now, it seems that things are not so simple. ”

"Oh?"

I suddenly remembered something again, and turned my head to look at Zha Bixing: "Just before the Taishi left, I said a few words to the queen, did you hear what was said?"

Zha Bixing nodded his head: "I heard it." ”

"What are you talking about?"

He thought for a moment and said, "He seems to be asking the queen to be careful of someone...... Well, speaking of which, he seems to have actually mentioned the prince. ”

"Oh?"

My spirits immediately lifted and I became a little nervous.

Chang Yan Bai left a message before leaving, and then Chang Qing took the initiative to come to Jixian Hall to tell Fu Badai those things, if it was just some ordinary little things, they would not be so important.

I muttered, "The prince is now, in Henan." Henan ......"

Just as I was silently muttering, Zha Bixing said again: "Those officials of the imperial court were assassinated before, in Shaanxi, and the two sides are very close. ”

He seemed to say something in passing, but I vaguely felt that something was wrong, and looked up at him: "What?"

He smiled: "Doesn't the eldest lady find it interesting? Before, the official of the imperial court was assassinated in Shaanxi, and it is said that the official's deeds are very hidden, and outsiders don't know about it at all, to tell the truth, that is, Xichuan doesn't know at all, but he was killed, and he almost framed Xichuan's people; Oh no, when Chang Lao left, he specially mentioned this matter to the queen, and the queen specially came to the Jixian Palace, and asked the teacher to ask the emperor to transfer the prince back to Beijing, because he was worried that he would be in danger......"

My brow tightened, and something bubbled faintly in my heart.

I said, "Tell me more clearly!"

Zha Bixing smiled: "To make it clear, that is, these two places are very close to Shanxi. ”

My heart pounded, and I paused to breathe.

Shanxi...... Jincheng ......

Jin Hou Gongsun Shu!

The sickly, pale face suddenly appeared in my mind, it was at the wedding of Qinghan and Pei Yuanzhen, I saw this Jin Hou and his son Gongsun Qi for the first time. Although Gongsun Shu inherited the title from his old father, because of the perennial lingering illness, the matter was handed over to his son, but the title was not passed on to his son, and Gongsun Qi was also an uncrowned "marquis" in Jincheng.

However, although it was the first time I saw them at that wedding, it was not the first time I had heard of their fame at that time.

Earlier......

It was in Jinling Mansion, in Pei Yuanxiu's cabinet, that I saw many letters, one of which was a letter written by the Marquis of Jin to Pei Yuanxiu.

No, it's not just the Marquis of Jin.

There is also the Runan Yuan family, that is, I also saw it at the wedding, the Yuan Mingde who looks smart and exposed, and even has a bit of cunning appearance! He is in Henan and has considerable power!

He is also the same as the grandson of the Marquis of Jin, and has correspondence with Pei Yuanxiu!

Could it be—

My breath was suffocated, I raised my head to look at Fu Badai, and when I spoke, my voice changed slightly: "Teacher, probably you really want to go to the next fold quickly, please ask the emperor to issue an order immediately to recall His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to the capital." ”

“……”

"Otherwise, I'm afraid something will happen!"
