The courtyard was filled with all kinds of flowers, morning glories and flame vines climbing the walls. Bees, butterflies, caterpillars, knowing, ladybugs...... From the ground to the air, from the corner to the roof, as long as you are willing to stop, you will never feel lonely.

The color and beauty of nature are far superior to the carving of dragons and phoenixes and the brilliance of gold.

You can listen to their whispers and feel the hope of life.

However, the worried Qi Tai passed by them, and he carried a heavy burden and closed himself.

After the palace maid reported, Ma Shi greeted him.

"See the Queen!" Qi Tai saluted.

Ma Shi hurriedly stepped forward to help Qi Tai, and his smile was as bright as the rose beside him: "Lord Qi is exempt!" How can I have time to come to Kunning Palace today? ”

Ma is still the likable girl that Qi Tai knew before, but she is much more mature than before.

"Queen Mother, Weichen has something important to discuss with Niangniang."

Although he hadn't seen him for several years, Qi Tai didn't have the heart to ask for warmth, and ran directly to the topic.

"Oh? What's the matter? Ma's smile didn't go away, she wanted to infect Qi Tai and make him relax.

This is her habit of treating Zhu Yunwen.

"The queen mother, since the emperor ascended the throne, she has been diligent and self-denying, lenient to others, and implemented new policies. Weichen was ordered by the emperor to assist the emperor. The road is blue, the wind and rain, and Weichen does not dare to slack off. ”

"Now the court is stable inside, but not the outside. The vassal king is eyeing the enemy, and the emperor is kind and benevolent, and he can't bear to hurt the kindness of his relatives. Under the strong pleas of the minister, the emperor had no choice but to accept the reduction of the domain. The five vassal kings were abolished one after another, and now it is the turn of the most difficult King Yan, but the emperor wants to let the three sons of King Yan go back to Beiping! ”

Qi Tai was indignant and did not hide his pain in front of the queen.

"Lord Qi, what can this palace do?" Ma spoke softly, but his determination was obvious.

"Dissuade the emperor, don't let the tiger return to the mountain!"

"This palace ......" Ma hesitated a little.

The harem has never interfered in politics, and besides, even the minister of Gu Ming can't convince the emperor, how can she do this?

"Weichen knows that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but now that it is a critical juncture, he can't take care of these many etiquette!"

Qi Tai looked at Ma uneasily, worried that she was also gradually moving away from him.

Ma nodded and smiled at Qi Tai: "Lord Qi, whatever you want this palace to do, this palace is willing, as long as you can help the emperor and help Daming." ”

Qi Tai's eyes moistened.

After a morning of hard work in Fengtian Palace, he scratched his heart with a hundred claws on the way to Kunning Palace, and his anxiety and sorrow seemed to be a dose of good medicine at this moment.

In the face of a wolf-like enemy, even such a weak little girl is willing to stand up, what else is he complaining about?

He must stick to his faith: Da Ming will not die!

"Empress Xie!" Zitai bent down, facing the ground, and saw a swarm of ants hurrying past his feet.

They can always see a hope far away, and they will never stop moving towards that hope.

"Master Qi, what are you doing here? These are all things that this palace should do. Ma stepped forward to support Qi Tai.

"Uh-huh! Good, good! Zitai's throat was ticklish, and he swallowed several times.

"Lord Qi, come into the house and sit down. Take a sip of tea first, don't be in a hurry, and speak slowly. ”

Ma was empathetic and invited Qi Tai into the house.

"Mother, actually...... Wei Chen has not yet thought of a way to dissuade the emperor. As soon as the court meeting dispersed just now, Weichen hurried to Kunning Palace. The other three of the four ministers agreed to release King Yan's three sons, and only Weichen objected. Weichen estimated that the emperor would release the three princes, and in desperation, Weichen thought of the queen's mother. The emperor and the queen mother are very affectionate, respect and help each other, and the emperor may be able to listen to the advice of the queen mother......"

"Lord Qi, Rong Bengong told me bluntly...... "The soft light in Ma's eyes became keen.

"If the palace directly advises the emperor, the emperor will not listen to the palace! The palace can only say what Lord Qi said to the emperor. The emperor did not approve of Lord Qi's idea, and naturally he would not agree with the palace's statement. The emperor is a sensible person, how can he listen to the words of the palace just because he is the emperor's wife, isn't this what the emperor did? ”

Qi Tai slowly lowered his head, his face full of shame. Even Ma knew the simple truth, but he didn't think of it.

Maybe he didn't think of it, but he used it as a life-saving straw to grasp it, hoping that the dead horse would be used as a live horse doctor.

Does he have any other choice?

"Lord Qi, you let the palace think again, maybe we can use other methods to make the emperor change his mind."

Ma's eyes full of wisdom sparkled.

It's not that she's not in a hurry, but the laws of the flowers, grasses, insects and birds in the yard tell her that everything in heaven and earth has its own operating laws, and people can do their best, but they can't force it.

"Thank you! Wechen took his leave first. ”

A woman is still more open-minded than him, the secretary of the military department, and Qi Tai knows that he should also calm down and think about it.

"Lord Qi, if you think of any way, you can also come to inform this palace. Don't worry, even if the palace is dead, it will not let the emperor release the three princes. ”

Ma prepared for the worst: to die.

The long-abandoned mansion of Lee Sun-chang welcomed its first owners a few months ago.

It has a new look, although it is not a Qionglou Yuyu, but it is also a mansion that ordinary people can not reach.

The vermilion lacquer gate is noble and solemn, the turquoise glazed tiles shine brightly, and the elegant porcelain and screens are spotless.

It was restored to its former form, even more luxurious than before, but it was never gone to fill every corner with the laughter that filled every corner with life and life.

There are twenty servants in the palace serving Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui, who are called "attendants", but in fact, they all have sharp eyes, sensitive ears and extraordinary skills.

They were both servants and jailers. They are not only responsible for the master's eating, drinking, and Lazar, but also responsible for imprisoning the master's freedom.

Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaosui had never stepped out of the mansion, and they didn't even know where they were in Yingtian, because they were blindfolded when they were sent to the Li Mansion.

They never spoke to their servants, and it was clear that they were enemies.

They also rarely speak to each other, and endless complaints isolate them.

The emperor's edict was delivered after breakfast, summoning them to the palace to meet the emperor.

Zhu Gaoxu's heart was surging, thinking that the day of returning to Beiping was close at hand.

Zhu Gaochi was worried, worried that Zhu Yunwen had murderous intentions against them.
