Ling Yi was very surprised by Gong Xiru's sudden return, the latter is not the kind of person who does things without thinking, there must be some reason to rush back, sure enough, when he asked, he realized that it was because of the concubine, but when he learned the reason, Ling Yi seemed even more puzzled.

"This matter has not been spread for the time being, and it is impossible for it to spread thousands of miles away, how do you know?" She asked Gong Xiru.

Gong Xiru frowned slightly: "I learned from a soldier's family letter, it was taken as a joke, I saw the truth of what was written on the letter, so I believed it." ”

His face sank suddenly, and he affirmed: "This matter was deliberately revealed to me by someone so that I could come back early." ”

Ling Yi's mind kept turning, if there was someone, then this person must be Gong Chengyan, Peng's behavior was because of Gong Chengyan's instructions, if he really just wanted to give Gong Xiru a concubine, then this matter would definitely not be known to the latter in advance.

But since he deliberately let Gong Xiru know about this matter and rushed back in advance, it means that he didn't mean to do this, and the main purpose was to let Gong Xiru come back early.

Or rather, let Qi Mo come back early.

Ling Yi and Gong Xiru glanced at each other, and they both saw the same clarity in each other's eyes, Ling Yi asked anxiously, "Did you come back to avoid people's sight?" ”

Gong Xiru's brows tightened, "Even if we avoid it, we can't avoid their sight after all." Now, I'm afraid many people know that His Royal Highness has returned to Beijing ahead of schedule. ”

The more Ling Yi thought about it, the more panicked she became, connecting the things before and after, and there was only one terrible result in her mind. He stood up and said, "Quick, hurry up and enter the palace with His Highness." ”

"Are you suspicious—" Gong Xiru also stood up, already understanding her thoughts. frowned and said: "If they really want to do this, the army has not yet returned, and the impeachment they are preparing is not convincing." ”

This matter is obviously conspired by Gong Chengyan and Qi Hua, if it is normal, Qi Mo will come back early, as long as he reports it truthfully to Emperor Qinglong. That wouldn't have a big impact, but if this matter was used by Qi Hua, it was very likely to become the basis for plotting a rebellion.

He can say that Mo is in charge of the army. If you don't return to Beijing as scheduled according to the regulations and quietly return to Beijing ahead of schedule, you must have some kind of thought, and this thought. A little bit of it can be reminiscent of rebellion.

When the time comes. As long as someone came forward to impeach Qi Mo and accuse him of disobeying the holy order to return to Beijing early, the purpose was to take advantage of everyone's unpreparedness to sneak attack the palace and seize the throne.

Although there seem to be many holes, there have been countless cases of the prince rebelling and seizing the palace since ancient times, as long as there is a little touch, everyone would rather believe it or not, and there is no time to think about the impossibilities.

Ling Yi suddenly thought of a very serious matter. According to the time of the previous life, in December. There will be a big catastrophe in the palace, and it was also at that time that something happened to the Ling family.

At that time, she was only sad and at a loss, and she only heard a little about what was going on in the palace, and probably knew that Qi Hua led the troops to cause the palace civil war.

She didn't know how that incident ended in the end, and what kind of ending Qi Hua had, because that night, she had escaped from the city with Gong Yunrui, and what happened after that was vividly remembered, and she held a grudge day and night, if she wasn't too stupid at the time, then maybe everything wouldn't have happened.

Gong Xiru looked at her quietly, seeing that she was out of her mind, and her thoughts seemed to have drifted out of the clouds.

He had seen Ling Yi like this more than once, and at some point, she would be so distracted, her eyes full of remorse and unwillingness.

He had no way of knowing that memory, and once this time came, all he could do was silent comfort.

There was a gentle touch at hand, Ling Yi's heart fluttered, and her thoughts gradually pulled back, looking at Gong Xiru's slender hands gently holding her own, she couldn't help but smile: "I'm fine, I just remember some of the past." ”

After a pause, he asked again: "As far as I know, His Royal Highness does not have military power in his hands, although there are ministers who support him, but that force is outside the fortress, and without a holy order, he cannot return to Beijing at all."

If so, he still has the forces to use, where did it come from? ”

Gong Xiru thought for a moment, and analyzed seriously: "There are no available troops among the ministers, and it is impossible for Concubine Gong and a woman to have them, and at this time, there is only one situation that can be explained - he has secretly cultivated a group of troops, and when he takes them out at a critical moment, he can catch people off guard." ”

Ling Yi's eyes froze, revealing a sudden expression, so in his previous life, Qi Hua was able to mobilize troops to force the palace without warning.

The reason why no one noticed it was because he didn't trust anyone at all, let alone ask anyone for military support, but secretly cultivated it himself.

Only this kind of explanation can be explained, the reason why Qi Hua has not shown strong opposition to Qi Mo until now is because he has already thought of a way, and once the time comes, he will take extraordinary measures.

Forcing the palace, this matter is not uncommon in any dynasty, with the degree of favor of Emperor Qinglong, it is almost no controversy to be crowned prince in the future.

Qi Hua also realized this, so on the surface, he was not competing with Qi Mo, he was just secretly planning a huge conspiracy, and no one was aware of it.

Ling Yi also reminded Gong Xiru, "If Qi Hua really secretly cultivates his own troops, then his plan will be clear at a glance."

Let us return to Beijing early, and then he only needs to take out the troops he has secretly cultivated, count them on the heads of the four highnesses, and then deduct a charge of plotting rebellion, then the four highnesses will have no chance to refute, even if the emperor favors him, in the face of such inexplicable evidence, he will not be spared. ”

The key is that even if he is willing, those ministers will not agree, Qi Hua will definitely lead the ministers to oppose it and demand that Qi Mo be sentenced to death, he must see Qi Mo die, so that he can feel at ease.

"You have to hurry into the palace." Ling Yi urged, "After entering the palace, explain everything to the emperor, if Qi Hua really intends to do this, then his hidden soldiers will definitely be not far away, which is convenient for him to call."

I'll let the Guards and Shadowless look for possible places in the palace, and the most important thing for now is to find the hidden troops, so that we don't get in a passive position. ”

Gong Xiru felt very good, and hurriedly asked Gong Sheng to find Qi Mo.

Qi Moben was happily strolling in the garden, but when he saw Gong Sheng coming over in a hurry, the panic on his face made him feel nervous.

"Your Royal Highness, the Hou Ye said that there is an urgent matter, and I want to go back to the palace with you, the time is in a hurry, and the specific reason is that the Hou Ye will inform His Highness on the way, please go with the little one first."

Qi Mo glanced at Ling Yi's courtyard, nodded, and followed Gong Sheng out of the mansion. (To be continued.) )
