Chapter 330: Poisoning
The reason why Chen Guifei is so tolerant of the Six Imperial Concubines, and why the Six Princes will be so friendly to her, is because the power behind the Six Imperial Concubines is really strong and can be used as a bridge to support the Six Princes.
However, if this bridge collapses, then the six imperial concubines will have no meaning of existence, and the situation in the palace will be very dangerous in the future, which is what Qi Ning is worried about.
"Husband, the Sixth Imperial Concubine has always been thinking about us, and we can't let her go, so we have to let her prepare for this matter in advance, and you Xiangguo can't make things too obvious, and it will be the Sixth Imperial Concubine who will be embarrassed at that time."
Her own princess is kind-hearted, and because she owes the six imperial concubines favors, she is always thinking about her, which is also a reasonable thing.
"Ning'er, we have a long-term view of this matter, at the moment I care about the people of Aqiu Country, this small country has always been decent, I have never heard of a grudge with anyone, but this time I came to the Central Plains to do evil, I really can't figure it out."
There are still a lot of things that are bothering Li Ye now, so it is necessary to solve all the tense things at the moment, and the matter on the side of the sixth imperial concubine, let Qi Ning come forward to solve it.
It's just that Qi Ning was not familiar with the small countries outside the border in the past, so she didn't know these situations, so she pulled Li Ye to the study.
"Since this matter is so serious, I also want to share this matter for you, husband, so you can find the record of this small country and show me, maybe you can share your worries."
Li Ye has long been accustomed to getting Qi Ning involved, and she can always give Li Ye more points to analyze, which is a good thing.
Li Ye took out some records about this Aqiu country from the study, and said while searching: "Actually, I don't know the records about this small country very well, I have always looked at some big countries with the same strength as the Central Plains in the past, and such a small country is naturally not taken seriously." ”
Qi Ning said with a smile: "Now my husband knows that you can't just look at the surface of everything, and you can't easily underestimate anyone, although these small countries can't be enemies of the Central Plains head-on, but if they come behind their backs to make things bad, it's a big deal." ”
"It's still my family Ning'er's analysis is very reasonable, just like you said, I still have to do more homework on this matter."
Qi Ning nodded with a smile, and the two began to look through some records about Ah Qiuguo, but the records in this study were not complete, and Li Ye had to return to the official mansion to find more information.
"Ning'er, you go back to the government with me to investigate these materials, and when there are clues, I will travel to find them, hoping to find these people as soon as possible."
"In that case, let's hurry up."
As soon as the husband and wife went out, Meng Ranqing brought ginseng soup to please: "The prince finally came back, and the slave maid stewed ginseng soup for you, let's drink some before leaving." ”
Li Ye didn't even look at her, and replied coldly: "You don't have to prepare these for me, everything I will do in the future will be served by the princess." ”
"But this is all ready, and it will be wasted if the prince doesn't drink it." Meng Ranqing looked flattering, her tone was even softer, and her expression was even more pitiful.
It's a pity that she is facing Li Ye, this person is originally a ruthless person, and his good can only be for his beloved.
So he was still indifferent, but walked forward with Qi Ning, without even replying to her a word, and didn't take her in his eyes at all.
Meng Ranqing looked at the back, her hands holding the tray were trembling, she was just resentful of why the six princes didn't take the opportunity to get rid of this woman, why they didn't give themselves a chance.
Qi Ning was paying attention to Li Ye's expression throughout the whole process, as long as Meng Ranqing was close to them, Qi Ning's heart would always change, although he was sure of Li Ye's mood towards him, but after all, he still had a pimple in his heart.
"Ning'er, why is this person still in the palace."
Li Ye had already said that he would find a way to get her away, but there were a lot of things going on on Qi Ning's side, so he didn't have the energy to care about this person anymore, and at the same time, he didn't want to deal with her.
"She hasn't done anything now, she is too lazy to take care of it, let's wait until the future."
"As long as you say a word, I can get this person to leave the palace immediately, and I don't want anyone to affect your mood."
Li Ye actually observed that Qi Ning actually cared about this Meng Ranqing very much, since it made her feel uncomfortable, this person should not stay.
Qi Ning smiled helplessly, "In the past, my husband always said that I was a roundworm in your stomach, but now it seems that you are, and you can understand my thoughts." ”
"Because I care about your mood very much, I just want you to be happy every day, and if anyone affects you, I won't agree."
Li Ye's sincerity made Qi Ning laugh: "I'm already very happy to have a husband, you say this, let's go back soon, so we don't have to delay your big event." ”
Seeing that Qi Ning didn't want to dwell on this matter, Li Ye didn't say much, so he could only continue to discuss with her about Aqiu Guo this time.
However, when the two of them first came to the official mansion, they heard someone come to report the case, saying that there was a family in the east of the city that all died of poisoning last night, and the people around them also had obvious signs of poisoning, and the situation was grim.
Li Ye's first reaction was: "Ning'er, on the way back, I met this group of people who wanted to poison the water source, you go with me to take a look." ”
Unconsciously, Qi Ning has been fully integrated into Li Ye's official duties, and is more like a capable assistant.
"It seems that these people really want to create chaos, so let the husband lead the way, and call a few more Lang Zhong together, so that there can be no more casualties."
Li Ye immediately called someone to prepare a horse, and took Qi Ning to the town in the east of the city, but the situation was even more serious than before, and the people in the whole town were complaining.
Seeing this, Qi Ning hurriedly said: "Husband, immediately send an order that everyone can no longer drink water sources, and let the whole city pay attention to it, so as not to poison other water sources." ”
Li Ye immediately called Si Liang over, and immediately arranged everything Qi Ning said, and even took this matter very seriously, and asked someone to report it to the emperor, and let the emperor give an order to put the whole city on guard.
The emperor was very angry when he learned about this, and only learned this morning that the people of the Aqiu Kingdom came to make trouble, which had just been arranged, but the other party had already come to the capital, and they had already started.
Originally, he didn't want to cause chaos, so this matter asked Li Ye to investigate behind his back, but the situation was serious, so he had to send an imperial list to announce the matter, so that everyone in the city should be careful of poisoning.
However, when Chen Guifei learned the news, she smiled and was very proud in the dormitory, and asked someone to invite the six princes.
