Chapter 364: Crisis

The situation in the palace is on the verge of erupting.

Time back to today's afternoon, Qi Mansion.

Although Xie Ke was angry with Qi Lu in the morning, she did not forget Qi Lu's advice, she knew that Qi Lu was going to enter the palace to greet the emperor, except for the day of returning to Beijing, this was the first time Qi Lu entered the palace to face the saint.

Although the capital looked calm on the surface, Xie Ke knew that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at the Qi family.

And entering the palace is different from visiting relatives and friends, but it is not something at home that can come back at any time. Even if you receive the news and rush back from the palace, it will take an hour.

And at this time, someone came to the door to provoke, that is, to send someone to inform Qi Lu, and it was also far away that the water could not save the fire.

That's why Qi Lu deliberately reminded Xie Ke. Let Xie Ke take more precautions.

It's just that there are some things that can be eliminated without taking more precautions...... Xie Ke thought that the biggest person who dared to come to the house openly to look for bad luck was her mother-in-law, Princess Hanyang, Mrs. Qi.

After all, Mrs. Qi doesn't like her, and it's not an overnight thing.

is the daughter they gave birth to with great difficulty, and Mrs. Qi does not see any love. Xie Ke didn't want to delve into this anymore, when she first joined the Qi family, she also thought about resolving the old feud between Qi Lu's mother and son, but this old feud was too deep, I am afraid that even if the emperor came forward, she couldn't let Qi Lu's mother and son talk very happily, even so, she couldn't afford to provoke it, so she had to hide.

So she took her daughter to the backyard.

Although his own courtyard is not as good as the main courtyard of the Qi family, the area is not small.

Since Qi Lu made up his mind to block the side door to the main courtyard of the Qi family, he ordered the steward to expand the courtyard.

These two years were due to famine. The capital was also affected, so the steward used half of the previous market price to buy a few courtyards adjacent to Qi Mansion, and for a time Qi Lu had no intention of building a house, so he opened up a few courtyards that were accepted, and in addition to the original houses, most of the vacant land was enclosed into gardens.

It is full of seasonal flowers.

In the hope that my daughter will have flowers to see all year round, of course, the most important thing is that there are flowers to fold.

There are peach blossoms in spring, peony peonies in summer, and autumn chrysanthemums in autumn. There are cold plums in winter. In short, Qi Lu has always been very spoiled and indulgent in his daughter's preferences.

At this time, it was the height of summer, and some time ago Qi Lu ordered a small pond to be dug in the middle of the garden. Moved the lotus flower in. At this time, the lotus flower has stretched out its stem. Pink flowers and buds sway gently in the summer breeze.

I don't know which garden this used to be. happened to have a small pavilion built by the pond, so Xie Ke coaxed his daughter to play in the pavilion.

The pavilion is surrounded by greenery and surrounded by flowers.

This makes the environment very quiet. And secretive.

No matter who comes to look for trouble, it is always difficult to find the back garden first, not to mention that the back garden covers a wide area, and the housekeeper can always delay for some time and wait for Qi Lu to return.

This is also Xie Ke's real intention when he hugged his daughter to the back garden.

is Mrs. Qi's trouble, after all, it is Qi Lu's mother, and she wants to make trouble with her. She also didn't want her daughter to see Mrs. Qi confronting her, or like last time, she was forced by Mrs. Qi.

accompanied by Mingyue's nurse and Yu Ben, plus a few little girls.

Mingyue was coaxed by the little girl, lying on the fence and trying to catch the lotus leaves in the pond, accompanied by the nurse.

Yu Ben and Xie Ke looked at the pavilion with a smile...... Seeing Mingyue playing, Xie Ke couldn't help but smile lightly, and Yuhui couldn't hide the smile on her face when she watched from the side. It's just ...... "Young grandmother, the matter between Lin Guardian and Cong Rui ......" Yuhui has always pretended to be Cong Rui and Lin Changyuan in her heart, she and Cong Rui have grown up together, so she naturally knows Cong Rui's temperament.

She understood that Cong Rui had repented.

In the past, Cong Rui was a girl who loved to talk and laugh, and she was the most relied on by her master among the four big girls, but now, Cong Rui has become a taciturn person. The contrast was so great that several of the sisters who entered the Xie clan with her and served Xie Ke together were worried.

It's just that when she told Cheng Jin about Lin Changyuan and Cong Rui last night, her husband, who has always been good-tempered, lost his temper.

Let her not think cranky, let alone mess with any mandarin ducks. She asked the reason, but Cheng Jin was silent.

Yuhui couldn't figure it out, and finally couldn't help but open her mouth at this time. "What can Cong Rui and Lin Guard do? Yuhui, Hugh has to mention this matter again, there are some things, if you miss it, you miss it. You also know that Lin Huwei has recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, but Lin Huwei's own family is quite famous.

He didn't go back to his house on an errand, but he was grateful for the second master's rescue back then, so he insisted on returning to the Qi clan despite the dissuasion of his relatives. Xie Ke sighed lightly.

Yuhui couldn't hide the look of surprise on her face.

Although her young grandmother said that Lin Huwei's background was good, Yuhui didn't expect that the young grandmother would say the word 'fame' in person. You must know that as soon as these two words came out, a trench was drawn between Lin Changyuan and Cong Rui.

They were born as girls, and they won the favor of their masters, and the masters gave them some face, and they were called 'girls'. To put it bluntly, in fact, he is just a slave who sells himself into the house.

She thought that Lin Changyuan's family was just an ordinary rich family, and there was some surplus food at home, so she would return to the Qi family, but she didn't want to. "The slave knows about it, and she will persuade Cong Rui." Yuhui looked lost.

"You guys, Cong Rui is the girl I'm most worried about. Partial to her temper...... It can't be forced, it can't be forced. Originally...... It's just that since the matter has come its own, it is in vain to say anything. You tell her that she has nothing to do with Lin Changyuan. Yuhui nodded.

For a while, the master and servant were not interested in talking. Just quietly looking at the edge of the pond.

Xie Ke looked at his daughter's smiling face and felt that things were not as bad as he imagined. At least, Mingyue is fine, Qi Lu is fine, these two people who are the most important to her are fine, what else does she have to worry about.

It's just that the soldiers are coming to block it, and the water is coming to cover it.

Besides, Qi Lu is not Qi Lu a few years ago, at that time, the second son of Qi had a reputation for doing evil, but when it comes to power, there are very few. But now, the north supports him, and the people of the north are grateful for his kindness. There is Ah Shan in the south, and the south is naturally Qi Lu's dependence.

And Gan's.

There is also a little uncle and Xiao Qingqian to help.

Finally, there is a place where His Royal Highness King Yu is placed in front of Qi Lu. Xie Ke really couldn't think of who would make a move on the Qi clan at this time?

Even if it is the emperor, it is too risky to make a move against Qi Lu at this time.

So although Xie Ke was worried, he never thought that someone would forcibly break into the Qi clan, and it was still this blue sky and white day. The news was sent by Cheng Jin himself, and Cheng Jin stopped panting. Yuhui saw her husband, and she ran in such a hurry.

I couldn't help but change my face. "Ah Jin, you came in such a hurry, but what happened in the house?" (To be continued.) )
