On April 16 of the thirteenth year of Qinglong, led by Yuan Kai of 200,000 troops, arrived at the Ningguo Pass at the end of the next month, with many years of combat experience and the assistance of the deputy marshal of the fourth prince Qi Mo, the team of Northern Qin was almost overwhelming, quickly broke through the border defense of Ningguo, and then went all the way north, directly hitting the capital of Ningguo.

On July 20 of the same year, 100,000 troops broke through the imperial capital of Ningguo, captured the lord of Ningguo, and captured the harem cadres on the spot.

It is said that the Empress Dowager of Ning Guo is also hard-hearted, when the Northern Qin army entered the palace, she stood at the gate of the palace, holding a long sword, scolding the attacking army, and was martyred in front of tens of thousands of soldiers.

An old woman still has such a backbone, and the lord of Ning is willing to sacrifice most of the Ning country in order to steal his life, and sign a treaty, agreeing that Ning will become a vassal state of Northern Qin in the future, and the emperor of Ning must also send his eldest son to Northern Qin as a hostage, in case he has bad intentions and rebels.

Ling Yi listened to the gossip of the weaving fan, and looked out the window with her cheeks propped up, looking like a living person should not be disturbed.

Weaving Fan was puzzled: "Madame, isn't she happy to hear such news?" The servant heard that the Hou Ye has been charging into battle, and this time he has made a great contribution, and he will definitely be rewarded by the emperor when he comes back.

There are also four highnesses, with meritorious deeds, who will have no eyes to support the three highnesses?

In the opinion of the servant, His Royal Highness was too wise to make this decision at the beginning, and now he is just waiting for them to come triumphantly, to see if those who disagreed at the beginning will be ashamed and faceless. ”

Ling Yi bowed slightly, paused for a moment, and suddenly asked, "When did the army set off and come back?" ”

Weaving Fan thought for a moment before saying, "After winning the battle." General Yuan deliberately stayed in the capital of Emperor Ning for ten days, during which time he had been cleaning up the rebels, and the servant heard that the army had only set off for his return in early August.

She thought that Ling Yi was worried about the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15. also regretted: "This is the first time that Mrs. and Hou Ye have celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival, but depending on this time, I have to go in September when I come back, and Hou Ye is afraid that he will not be able to keep up."

Madam, don't be too sad, even if Master Hou is not here, he will no longer think about you in his heart all the time. ”

"You know, you actually told your wife some of these things. Would it be nice to let the lady worry about you? Weaving Yu squatted into the house with white fungus soup and reproached.

"Didn't I want to tell Madame about the situation outside, Madame—don't you blame the maid for talking too much." She looked at Ling Yi and asked.

Ling Yixiao shook her head: "I have to tell me this news." Zhiyu, don't be too harsh on her, her mouth is uncomfortable if she doesn't say it. ”

Zhi Yu sighed slightly, handed the white fungus soup to Ling Yi and said, "Madame, hasn't you been able to sleep well every night these days?" The servant knew what Madame was worried about. The maid is worried that she will say too much, which will make you even more worried.

The Fourth Highness has been away for so many months, and it stands to reason that the Third Highness will not let go of such a good opportunity, but he has not moved.

Not to mention, the Gong family didn't react at all, this is really abnormal, the road guards and the shadowless **** all stared at the two of them, and they didn't see any movement.

But the more so. The maidservant's heart became more and more troubled, and there must be peace before the storm. The current calm made the servant anxious. ”

If Zhi Yu could think of this, Ling Yi would naturally think of it even more.

She has been sitting at the window and looking out recently, it seems that she is just in a boring daze, but in fact, she is turning a thousand times in her heart, racking her brains to figure out what kind of ghost idea Gong Chengyan and Qi Hua are thinking in their hearts.

It would be impossible for her to believe that those two would do nothing, but in the few months that Qi Mo and Gong Xiru were not there, those two people did nothing, which can only show one thing, they will do it when the army returns.

In other words, in any case, within this month, they will definitely do something.

Ling Yi scooped a spoonful of white fungus soup, drank it and left a sweet taste in his mouth, and was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked Zhi Yu: "Now that Ning Guo is gone, the Gong family no longer has to worry about the death of Princess Haining, Gong Yunrui and his son have not made any moves recently?" ”

Lu Xiaotian almost didn't let the father and son of the Gong family out of his sight day and night, and on weekdays, Zhiyu went to the agreed place to ask him about the situation.

Zhi Yu nodded first, and then immediately shook his head and said: "The maid remembered something, the day before yesterday, the road guard said that Mother Wang of Liuxiang had been to the palace house, but it didn't take long to come out, and I haven't been there in the past two days." ”

"Mother Wang? But that Mei Fengguan's old bustard can't make it? ”

Zhi Yu nodded: "It's her, this old bustard went to the palace house, and the maid was suspicious when she heard it, so she went to Liu Xiang to take a look."

But that kind of place is closed during the day, and this night is open, and it is inconvenient for the maid to enter and exit. That night, I asked Liang Kai to inquire.

However, what I asked was not anything special, it was a second young master of the palace, who accidentally fell from the upper floor and died.

The old bustard went to the second young master of the palace for the girl's last wish, and it seemed that he wanted him to see him for the last time.

However, the land of Qinglou has always had no affection at all, and as the second young master of the palace, he will never go, so he quickly kicked out the old bustard.

The servant felt that there was nothing special in her heart, so she didn't report it to you. ”

Ling Yi bowed slightly, and muttered unconsciously: "Gong Yunrui's image outside is not a wandering person, how long has his wife been in the ground, does he dare to go to Qinglou to be happy?" ”

With her understanding of Gong Yunrui in her previous life, the latter cared most about her image as a gentleman, so Gong Yunrui would actually enter and leave the land of Qinglou, which really made Ling Yi feel incredible.

Even if he went, he would never let the old bustard come to the door so blatantly.

What's more, he doesn't have a Qingfeng Building himself, why don't he go to his own territory to be free, but go to that kind of place where there are many people.

Seeing his expression, Zhi Yu knew that Ling Yi must still have questions, and asked softly, "Is Madam worried about something?" Why don't you let Liangqi check it out again? ”

Ling Yi was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "You don't need to go--this-you ask him to find someone to quietly inquire about the origin of this old bustard of Mei Fengguan." ”

Weaving Yu didn't ask much, just nodded yes, and retreated with the white fungus soup that Ling Yi had eaten.

After walking out, she asked Oriyu, "Did Madame see through something again?" Why do you want to ask about the origin of an old bustard? As far as I know, this kind of person is generally a person who was sold when he was a child, or has no relatives and no reason, what can he ask? ”

"This is not necessarily, the identities of these people are much more complicated, Madame is more sensitive than you and me, if she feels that there is anything doubtful, it must be something we haven't seen.

You serve Mrs. well in the house, and I will go to Liangqi and ask him to go to Meifengguan again tonight. ”

Weaving Fan smiled: "I guess that kid's face is going to bloom with a smile." (To be continued.) )
