Chapter 218: Preparing for War
Tan Taihong strode forward, calmly and casually went to the queen's bedroom, from a distance, he saw the queen with a pale face under the candlelight, and his eyes were blank, his heart jumped, it seems that Yan Xi's disappearance hit the imperial sister-in-law very hard, very hard.
It's only been a few hours, and the imperial sister-in-law is already worried. He couldn't help but feel happy for Yan Xi in his heart, at least the queen was really worried about her.
The queen, who was sitting on the chaise longue and meditating, heard the steady footsteps of Yutai Hong, and her heart suddenly rejoiced.
She looked at Taihong suddenly, her cool eyes were as cool as water with a hint of sadness, the corners of her mouth moved slightly, and she stood up a little excitedly and asked Taihong who was walking towards her anxiously.
"Eighth brother, do you have any news of Yan Xi? Where is she? How about now? ”
The queen asked several questions in a row, and her tone was full of panic.
Seeing that the queen was so worried about Yan Xi, the stone hanging in her heart couldn't help but let go, the queen was so worried about Yan Xi, so the chance of saving Yan Xi couldn't help but be a little bigger.
He was just thinking about how to persuade the queen to go to Concubine Lan to ask for someone, he couldn't help but walk quickly to the queen and saluted the queen respectfully.
"The Queen's Mother......"
The queen hurriedly went over to support Taihong.
"Eighth brother, hurry up and excuse me." The phoenix's eyes turned slightly, and she couldn't help but ask anxiously: "I don't know if the eighth brother knows who Yan Xi was taken away." ”
The queen changed her usual fierceness, and looked worried, almost begging Taihong to tell her Yan Xi's whereabouts quickly.
Yu Taihong stood up straight, knowing in his heart that thinking about the queen was the same as thinking about himself.
The empress also thought that the emperor had kidnapped Yan Xi, so she was so worried. Then the queen and Yan Xi must have a lot of ulterior secrets. Otherwise, how could the queen be so concerned. I think that the people in the palace are all being used, so why worry about it!
The eyes that were as bright as the stars darkened slightly, and he said with some embarrassment.
"I'm afraid that you don't want to care, sister-in-law."
Hearing this, the queen's phoenix eyebrows frowned slightly. He stared at Taihong with some puzzlement and asked suspiciously.
"What does Eighth Brother mean?"
He didn't like to beat around the bush, he smiled faintly at the queen, and said helplessly.
"Where there are many women, there are many rights and wrongs, and this king also knows how to do it, so he came to discuss with the imperial sister-in-law."
The queen's doubts in her heart couldn't help but increase a little when she heard Taihong's words, and she asked anxiously in confusion.
"What does Eighth Brother mean? Is it ......?"
The queen thinks of women. She couldn't help but think that Yan Xi was robbed by which lady in the palace, and the corners of her mouth were slightly half-hooked with a sneer.
There are still people in the palace who are against her, is it because some people have ambitions during her illness.
Yu Taihong secretly observed the queen's face. Knowing the queen is knowing the meaning of her words, sometimes it is easy to talk to smart people. One point, his jaw lifted slightly, and he said in a deep voice.
"Not bad. The imperial sister-in-law is the mother in the palace who robbed Yan Xi. And this person is not small. ”
The queen was slightly stunned and shook her head in disbelief.
"Impossible, who would dare to provoke this palace so boldly?"
"Imperial sister-in-law, you are too confident, and there are really people who dare to challenge your majesty." Taihong didn't want to hide the queen, the queen sat firmly not because she was clever in her means, but because there was a prince supporting her.
Looking at it now, only the crown prince is liked by the emperor, and the other princes are still young. It's not obvious at all.
"Who is it?" The queen raised her eyebrows, and her eyes showed a touch of cruelty. It was as if she was going to immediately break the body of the person who provoked her.
"Concubine Lan." Yu Taihong lightly spit out two words, and his tone was firm and undoubted, and no one could doubt it.
The queen shook her head slightly, a little incredulous, and she asked repeatedly.
"Eighth brother, are you sure it's Concubine Lan, you're not mistaken?"
"Imperial sister-in-law, what did I deceive you, and what's the point of lying to you?" A trace of disappointment passed through Taihong's heart, he thought that the queen was different from other people's women, but in the end, they were all the same, extremely stupid.
When the queen saw Taihong's determined appearance, a slight coolness suddenly rose in her heart, and Concubine Lan clearly said that she was willing to cooperate with her.
She has robbed Yan Xi now, which means that the person behind the scenes is not Concubine Lan, but someone else.
A thin smile bloomed at the corner of the queen's mouth, and she said with some difficulty.
"Eighth brother, it's not Concubine Lan, it's the emperor."
Tan Taihong was not surprised when he heard this, he also thought of this, Concubine Lan definitely did not dare to openly fight against the queen.
So Concubine Lan dares to be so unscrupulous, so it means that Concubine Lan has people behind her to support her, and this person can beat the queen into the eighteenth layer of hell with one sentence.
Tan Taihong's eyes flashed slightly, revealing a light of admiration, thinking that the imperial brother is really powerful, he can use all people for a woman, this kind of love is really envious.
But he didn't envy it, he thought that this kind of love was too tiring, too tiring, and unbearable. It's too hard to be careful and plan step by step.
Thinking that he didn't ask the queen how she knew, he just asked lightly.
"Imperial sister-in-law, what are you going to do?"
"Eighth brother, you don't have any other way?" The queen directly threw the question to Tang Taihong, who was stunned, thinking that of course the queen could not go directly to Concubine Lan to ask for someone.
If you have no evidence or a certificate, what if you go, it will only make people step on a sore foot, and you won't be able to save Yan Xi at all.
Yu Taihong gritted his teeth and said helplessly.
"Then we'll have to wait."
The queen nodded approvingly when she heard this, relieved and relieved.
"If the emperor kidnapped Yan Xi, don't worry, that woman still needs Yan Xizhi. The emperor will not be embarrassed, but he is afraid of ......"
The queen bit her lip slightly, and the following words did not come out.
The queen didn't say it, but Taihong also knew, and she was afraid that Yan Xi wouldn't be able to shake out her conspiracy.
"Okay, the king will stay in the Fengxia Palace tonight, and tomorrow morning, the imperial sister-in-law will take the king to meet the concubine Lan, and the king wants to see what kind of woman is worthy of the royal brother's trust."
The queen nodded silently and smiled a little disappointed.
"Well, I hope the eighth brother can feel good."
So saying, the queen ordered to go down.
"Come on, go and prepare a room for the Eighth Prince, the Eighth Prince's stay in Fengxia Hall tonight."
Father-in-law An outside the door was a little hesitant, but thinking that there were so many people in the palace, there was nothing wrong with the eighth prince living in the side hall, so he went in to resume his life.
"Back to the queen mother, the room has already been prepared, and the old slave will take the prince over."
"Yes, okay." A faint smile appeared on the corner of the queen's mouth, nodded at Gonggong An, and then said to Taihong.
"Eighth brother, go ahead! It's good to rest, and we have to cheer up to save Yan Xi. ”
Taihong looked back at the pale queen and said solemnly.
"The imperial sister-in-law is too, then I'll retire first." (To be continued......)
