After a whole day, it wasn't until the time of the lantern that Cai Kuo returned. As soon as he came back, he ordered someone to invite Qiyun and said to her: "Xu Situ, General Tan and others, in the name of the empress dowager, announced the emperor's guilt, escorted them out of the east pavilion of the palace, collected the seals, and sent them to the original palace for detention. Now the emperor is deposed of the throne, renamed as the king of Yingyang, and moved to Wu County. The country cannot be left without a king for a day, and now the ministers are preparing to welcome a new emperor. ”

When Qiyun heard this, he was shocked, and asked him a little impatiently: "Cai Shangshu, Xu Situ, who do they plan to set up as the new emperor?" ”

Cai Kuo replied in a deep voice: "Someone persuaded Xu Situ to support Liu Yigong, the assassin of Southern Yuzhou. ”

Qiyun frowned and asked, "Liu Yigong?" He was only twelve years old. ”

Cai Kuo nodded, and said unhurriedly: "There is another candidate, it is the king of Yidu." ”

"And who are they going to support?" Qiyun sighed secretly, Cai Shangshu, why don't you finish it in one breath if you have something to say?

Cai Kuo said: "In the imperial court, there were also two opinions at that time, and Xu Situ was also undecided about these two candidates at the beginning. At this moment, someone mentioned one thing, and finally let Xu Situ and them make a decision to choose King Yidu as the new emperor. ”

"They intend to make Brother Yoshitaka emperor." Qiyun breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and asked him with some curiosity, "What made them make a decision?" ”

Cai Kuo replied: "Some people mentioned several strange things that happened not long ago. Since the beginning of this year, there have often been purple clouds in the sky over Gangneung City, and those who look at qi believe that they are the charm of the emperor. There is a folk proverb in Jiangling, where the king of Yidu served: The continent is full of hundreds, and he should be the king. The section of the Yangtze River, where Gangneung is located, has always had ninety-nine continents. Not long ago, another continent suddenly appeared in the middle of the river, which was just enough to make up the number of 100 continents. It seems that it is really God's will, an auspicious omen, the king of Yidu has the response of the dragon flying, and the king of Yidu is prestigious, Xu Situ naturally does not dare to go against the will of heaven. ”

Qiyun said secretly: Another continent was suddenly born in the Jiangling River, which is just enough to make up the number of hundreds of continents, so coincidental? Is this really providential?

Cai Kuo's eyes were warm and peaceful, and he asked, "County Lord, the old man knows that you have always been friends with the King of Yidu." Hearing this news, the county lord can rest assured now? ”

Qiyun saluted him and said sincerely: "Although they have established Brother Yingyilong as the new emperor, it does not mean that they will show mercy to my subordinates. My sister and I have to rely on Cai Shangshu's care for our lives. ”

Cai Kuo pondered for a moment: "What the county lord said is worried. It's better to stay in the old man's mansion with peace of mind during this time. Wait for the rumors to pass, and then make a decision. ”

Qiyun relieved himself and settled in the guest room of Cai's mansion with Yinxue. Cai Kuo ordered reliable confidants to bring them food, and idle people were not allowed to approach.

Qiyun and Yin Xue waited anxiously in Cai's mansion for several days, and finally the wind was less tight, and the martial law in Jiankang City was relaxed. On this night, Cai Kuo said to Qiyun: "Tomorrow, Xu Situ and Xie Zhongshu will send me to Jiangling to welcome the king of Yidu, do you want to go with the old man?" ”

"We are extremely unsafe in Jiankang City, so naturally we will go to Gangneung with you." Qiyun pondered for a while, and then said, "I've been thinking about something these days. ”

"What's the matter? The county lord said it was okay. Cai Kuo gestured.

Qiyun asked him: "Since Xu Situ and they have decided to welcome King Yidu as emperor." So, where will they go to the king of Yingyang and the king of Luling? ”

Cai Kuo was shocked in his heart, frowned and said: "What the county lord said is that the new emperor is welcome, and there is no reason to retain the old emperor, and one country cannot tolerate two masters. Even if the old emperor is abolished, from the order of the eldest and youngest, the king of Luling should be established as the emperor. Yes, what will they do with the old emperor and the king of Luling? Cai Kuo thought of something, and suddenly came to his senses: "The county lord means that they will ......" made a slashing motion with his hand.

Qiyun nodded and asked lightly: "Cai Shangshu, do you think this is possible?" ”

At present, the old man has not received such a message. But what the county lord was worried about was that he was afraid that King Yingyang and King Luling would not be able to escape this outcome. Cai Kuo was worried.

For days, Qiyun was worried about the safety of Yizhen and Yifu day and night, and he didn't dare to tell Yin Xue about his worries. Now that Cai Kuo has confirmed his thoughts, he is even more anxious, so he has to beg Cai Kuo to find a way.

Cai Kuo pondered for a long time before he said, "The county lord's worries are not helped. When the old man arrives, he can only choose the opportunity to admonish Xu Situ and Fu Shangshu. But whether it is useful or not, the old man does not know. ”

"No matter what, Qiyun thanked Cai Shangshu first." Qiyun saluted him.

"The county lord will clean up, and set off for Jiangling with the old man tomorrow."

After resigning Cai Kuo, Qiyun was worried, thought about it, took out a fireworks bomb left by Mochuan from his coat pocket, walked in a no-man's corner, and released one, only to see the colorful morning shadow flowers blooming in the air.

After waiting for a while, I saw a man in black descending from the sky, half-kneeling in front of Qiyun, "Chaoying Palace Moqi is waiting for the county lord to send him." ”

The man in black pulled down his mask, and saw a young man with clear eyebrows, who was Mo Qi. Qiyun put his mind at ease and said warmly: "The Song Kingdom has undergone earth-shattering changes now, I am afraid that your palace master has also received information that your eldest lady is with me, and it is very unsafe." Now I called you here, just to ask you to take the eldest lady out of Jiankang, and you are so good to escort Yin Xue all the way back to Chaoying Palace. ”

"Yes." Mo Qi gave up his hand, and when he wanted to leave, he turned around and asked, "County Lord, aren't you leaving the Song Kingdom?" ”

Qiyun replied: "I still have things to do, not to mention, I want to be with you, I am afraid that it will affect you." So, I'm not going with you. Yinxue has drunk some lethargic medicine and is sleeping soundly in the room, you can take her away now. You're responsible for your eldest lady's safety, understand? ”

"Moqi understands." Mo Qi answered. Not long after, he appeared in front of Qiyun with the sleeping Yinxue on his back.

Qiyun looked at the sleeping Yin Xue, stroked her black hair with her hand, reluctantly, and said silently in her heart: It's not safe here, and it's scary to be with me, so it's better to go home. There is no banquet in the world that will never be dispersed, and if we have a fate, we will meet again.

When Mo Qi turned around to leave, Qiyun stopped him and asked, "Mo Qi, is your palace master still in the Song Kingdom?" Also, Leng Yu, the head of the Jishi Hall of the Chaoying Palace, is now under the pseudonym Lu Huinan, is she also in the Song Kingdom? ”

Mo Qi hesitated for a moment, and replied in a low voice: "Don't hide it from the county lord, our palace master has been in the Song Kingdom recently, and Lu Huinan is also there." What exactly they did in the Song Kingdom, it was inconvenient for Mo Qi to tell the county lord. ”

Qiyun nodded, knowing in her heart that Chaoying Palace was secret, and it was the eyes and ears of the Wei State in various countries, and Mo Qi would not tell her the details. As long as she knows that Mo Chuan is in the Song Kingdom, she has a lot of peace in her heart, and if she has something, she can turn to him for help.

Looking at Yin Xue, although Qiyun was extremely reluctant in her heart, she finally let Mo Qi take her out of her sight and disappear into the night. Letting Yin Xue leave Jiankang safely, Qiyun's heart was much lighter, so that he could act and find out the truth.
