In a deep eye, the small stone pit on the steps froze Qizheng's gaze, and a story from the past came to mind, Qizheng walked quickly to the stone pit, slowly bent his knees and knelt in the pit, raised his eyes to look up at the sky, his clothes were soaked, and the rain mixed with tears slid down his cheeks.

Seeing this, Li Changhai hurriedly walked to Qizheng with an umbrella, covered the rain for Qizheng, and said: "Concubine, why do you bother, how can we have the final say on what God means, maybe that Lord Lu is lucky, God helped him wake up the emperor, but concubine, you are not a minister, and seeing that what the emperor said is naturally not something for the benefit of dawn, is it possible that you really want to kneel here and ask for a thunderbolt?" ”

"Father-in-law Li, don't care, the concubine has to kneel here until the emperor comes out, and the father-in-law should not see it." Qi Zheng's eyes were blank and he said lightly.

Li Changhai looked at the door of the palace and said anxiously: "Concubine, how can you eat the jade body when you kneel here in such a heavy rain, the concubine should go back quickly, until dawn, the emperor will not come out." ”

Qi Zheng frowned deeply: "This is the concubine's matter, Father-in-law Li's kindness is understood by the concubine, father-in-law and go back." ”

"Hey." Li Changhai sighed, shook his head, and retreated to the front of the hall, helplessly watching Qizheng kneeling in the rain.

In the blink of an eye, the rain gradually became smaller, the lights of Qianning Palace have been extinguished, Qizheng's body shook slightly, water droplets slid down the hair to the forehead, turned his eyes and looked into the distance, Jiayi's time to leave the palace was getting closer and closer, and he looked back at the closed Qianning Palace Gate, "What should I do, do I continue to wait for the emperor to come out, or go to stop Jiayi, if I go to stop the driver, I am afraid that it will be difficult to deal with the Queen Mother alone, in the end, not only can I not save Jiayi, I am afraid that my life is worried, or continue to wait, there are still a few hours before dawn, The team to send off relatives can't go far, and when the emperor comes out, it's not too late to send someone to stop him. After thinking about it, he closed his eyes and knelt quietly in the rain, still looking forward to the thunder.

At dawn, the rain stopped, the breeze blew, and the soaked Qizheng put her hands on her shoulders and couldn't help but tremble. Li Changhai walked down: "Concubine, you see that the sky is bright, don't say it's thunder, the rain has stopped, the concubine has knelt all night like this, isn't it in vain, okay, the concubine master hurry up, the emperor is going to the court, and the slave will go to call the emperor." ”

"This concubine is fine, Gonggong Li should go quickly." Qi Zheng said busily.

"Hey." Gonggong Li sighed helplessly, turned around and left Qianning Palace.

Qi Zheng stood up with his hands on the ground, his legs were limp and weak, and he almost fell to the ground, and staggered to the front of the temple gate, leaning against the pillar, waiting for the summons.

Gonggong Li came out of the palace, saw Qizheng looking a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "Concubine, the emperor said that this is not an early dynasty, and the concubine is afraid that he will not be able to wait for the emperor for a while." ”

When Qi Zheng heard this, he was suddenly surprised: "Didn't the father-in-law tell the emperor that the concubine had something important to see?" ”

"How dare the slave say more, he has to come out after listening to the emperor's orders, no, the slave has to send someone to the vestibule to pass the decree, so that the ministers are scattered, the concubine or hurry back to the palace, find a doctor to take a look, this rain has been drenched all night......."

"The vestibule, Chancellor." Qi Zheng read lightly in his mouth, and without waiting for Li Changhai to finish speaking, he turned around and shook his body out of the Qianning Gate, and walked quickly to the front court. Walking to the square, Qi Zheng hid to the side, leaning against the stone railing and panting, waiting for the eunuch who came to announce the decree to pass the decree, and waited for the officials in the square to disperse. Qi Zheng hurriedly walked over, searched around, and finally found the familiar figure in the crowd.

"Dad, follow me." Qizheng pulled Fu Renxian's sleeve.

Fu Renxian followed Qizheng to the corner, and when he saw Qizheng dressed as a palace maid and soaked all over, he locked his eyebrows and said, "Zheng'er, how did you make it look like this." ”

Qi Zheng didn't care to say much, knelt in front of Fu Renxian, and said, "Dad, please promise your daughter to save the eldest princess Jiayi." ”

Fu Renxian hurriedly picked up Qi Zheng: "Zheng'er, what are you doing, hurry up, tell me what you have to do." ”

"Dad, the queen mother hid from the emperor to let Princess Jiayi and Jin Guo make peace, this matter must not be allowed, the daughter finally escaped from the queen mother and wanted to see the emperor, but after waiting all night and not seeing it, the daughter is really out of line, dad quickly think of a way to stop the team to send the relatives back." Qi Zheng begged.

Fu Renxian stroked his beard, and said helplessly: "Sooner or later, there must be an understanding of the matter of peace with Jin Guo, the emperor is unwilling, and my father is unwilling, but I can't categorically refuse, since the queen mother came forward to send Princess Jiayi to go, then my father has no right to interfere, and you shouldn't meddle in this matter, otherwise you will get into trouble." ”

"Princess Jiayi agreed to kiss her daughter in order to save her, her daughter must save her, and the only thing that her daughter can ask for is your father, didn't her father say that he would help his daughter at all costs?"

"That's to say that when you are in danger, your father will do whatever it takes to save you, not for the princess of Daning to take the entire Fu family to fight against the queen mother, Zheng'er, you can be safe, your father and your mother will rest assured, don't make trouble for yourself." Fu Renxian persuaded.

"Dad, you ......."

"Father-in-law, why won't you return home after you disperse?" A voice came, interrupting Qizheng to speak.

Fu Renxian looked back and hurriedly glanced at Qizheng, Qizheng lowered his head and stood aside.

"What is this?" Prince Yu approached and pointed to Qizheng Road.

"She is the palace maid of Zheng'er, and she was sent by Zheng'er to visit me." Fu Renxian said busily.

Prince Xiang lowered his eyes and asked slowly, "Concubine Qizheng, is she okay?" ”

Qi Zheng was stunned for a moment, and said in a calm voice: "Everything is fine with the concubine, Prince Yu and Master Fu don't have to worry."

"That's good, father-in-law, it's better to go to this palace and sit for a while, Qishu is always talking about your body bones, I guess I have to let her look at you in person to rest assured." Prince Yu said with a smile

"Okay." Fu Renxian responded, glanced at Qi Zheng, shook his head helplessly, and left with Prince Yu.

Qi Zheng slowly raised his eyes, looked at the back of the two of them leaving, tears couldn't stop slipping, fell to the ground, was quiet for a moment, suddenly remembered a person, and hurriedly stood up and walked towards Zihua Gate.

Seeing that figure, Qi Zheng used his last strength to shout, "General Qi." ”

Qi Huanyi saw Qi Zheng, walked over quickly, and asked, "What's wrong, wipe it quickly." He took out a handkerchief and handed it to Qi Zheng.

Qi Zheng couldn't suppress his anxiety, took the handkerchief and held it in his hand, and said busily: "Can General Qi stop Princess Jiayi's family sending procession." ”

"Okay." Qi Huanyi immediately turned around, walked a few steps and said to a guard: "Immediately gather a pair of people and horses to go out with me." ”

Qizheng slowly walked behind Qi Huanyi and said lightly: "Didn't the general ask why?" ”

Qi Huanyi glanced sideways: "As long as you open your mouth, I will do it regardless of the reason." ”

A guard brought a horse, and Qi Huanyi stepped on the horse.

"General, if something happens, the general will push it on my head, Zhao Xuan Hall Wanyi, Fu Qizheng." Qizheng looked at Qi Huanyi and said busily.

Qi Huanyi didn't look back, clenched the reins in his hand, and said lightly: "Concubine, one person does things and one person is responsible, this matter has nothing to do with the concubine." With that, he led seven or eight of his followers and rode away.

Qi Zheng looked at the figure that disappeared quickly, stunned in place, and suddenly his eyes were blurred, and his body gradually fell, falling to the ground......

Qianning Palace, the palace people opened the palace door, Emperor Yuan pulled Wen Yue out, standing in front of the palace gate, Wen Yue looked around, his eyes fell on the stone pit, and said: "Your Majesty, why is there a stone pit but no one has come to repair it for a long time, this is Qianning Palace, how can the Internal Affairs Office be so sloppy." ”

Emperor Yuan smiled: "No one dares to move that pit, but there is a reason." ”

Wen Yue looked at Emperor Yuan with interest: "Oh? The emperor quickly told me about the origin of this pit. ”

Emperor Yuan looked at Li Changhai, who was waiting on the side: "Chang Hai, do you know?" ”

Li Changhai thought for a moment and said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, probably, probably because Fu Wanyi knelt there all night yesterday." ”

When Emperor Yuan heard this, he said with a smile: "Nonsense, how can a person kneel all night to get out of the pit." Li Changhai's words just now gradually sounded again, his face sank, and he said sideways: "What did you just say, Fu Wanyi knelt outside the hall all night?" ”

Li Changhai said: "Back to the emperor, exactly, Fu Wanyi wants to see the emperor, but the queen mother has a will, no one can disturb the emperor last night, otherwise the slaves will be punished heavily, so the slaves dare not report, Fu Wanyi just knelt in the rain all night, maybe she wanted to follow Lord Lu, move the heavens, and send down thunder." ”

"Your Majesty, since my sister is gone, it means that there is nothing important, don't worry, Your Majesty." Wen Yue persuaded.

Emperor Yuan didn't speak, and moved out of the Qianning Palace alone, leaving Wen Yue and Li Changhai standing in front of the palace gate at a loss.

Zhaoxuan Palace, Qi Zheng slowly opened his blurred eyes, his mind was dizzy, a pair of hands reached out and put the handkerchief on Qi Zheng's forehead, and when the line of sight gradually became clear, he saw the person next to the bed, his heart was shocked, and he muttered softly: "Your Majesty ......." ”
