Chapter 92

Is there a choice?

"You're here."

The lights in the imperial study were bright, and when he saw Song Li coming in, Emperor Tianxuan slowly put down the recital in his hand, and looked at Song Li with dark eyes.

"The courtiers see the emperor." Song Li walked into the imperial study and bowed to Emperor Tianxuan, "I don't know why the emperor summoned his courtiers into the palace late at night?" ”

Emperor Tianxuan didn't reply, but stared at her for a long moment before waving his hand and whispering, "Excuse me." ”

"Your Majesty."

Song Li responded, invisibly moved his somewhat sour shoulders, lowered his head and waited for Emperor Tianxuan to speak.

"The flood in the south is serious, and I have ordered the prince and Song Qing to escort the disaster relief materials to the south, and they will set off in three days......"

Song Li's small movements didn't escape Emperor Tianxuan's eyes, he sighed and said quietly, his gaze became deep.

Song Li's expression was slightly condensed, and he didn't know what Emperor Xuan meant during the day, disaster relief was a matter in the court, what did it have to do with a woman in her backyard, he summoned her late at night, wouldn't he just want to find someone to talk to?

She continued to remain silent, waiting for Emperor Tianxuan's next words.

"The most severely affected area this time is Jinyang, which is also the destination of the prince and Song Qing's trip, and it is the fief of the king of Pingyang."

Emperor Tianxuan didn't care what Song Li thought, and continued to speak quietly.

Song Li remembered that King Pingyang was the brother of the first emperor and the uncle of Emperor Tianxuan, who was only sixty years old, and had never returned to the capital since the first emperor gave him a fief. King Pingyang was the youngest son of Emperor Taizu, and because he was young, he was not involved in the wars for the throne of many princes, so he was spared.

Emperor Tianxuan would not mention this King of Pingyang for no reason, he deliberately mentioned it, there must be his reasons, but what does this have to do with her?

"I had repeatedly invited the King of Pingyang to enter Beijing before, but he was pushed by him because of his old age and poor health, and before I sent officials from Beijing to inspect Jinyang, they were detained by the King of Pingyang for no reason, and they were detained for nearly a month before they were released."

Emperor Tianxuan's words made Song Li slightly surprised, King Pingyang was so bold, not to mention disobeying Emperor Tianxuan's will, and also detaining the governor of Beijing, Emperor Tianxuan would not be too much to charge him with rebellion.

"I once sent secret guards to investigate the situation in Jinyang City, and only a dozen of them escaped back after hundreds of people, and the informants I buried in Jinyang were also pulled out by the King of Pingyang, and the secret guards who fled back told me that the King of Pingyang had more than 100,000 private soldiers in Jinyang City......"

Emperor Tianxuan's words were full of deep helplessness.

It is already a taboo for a vassal king to raise private soldiers, and he also eradicates the emperor's informants to chase and kill the secret guards in Beijing, what does this King of Pingyang want to do?

"In that case, why didn't the emperor send troops to attack the king of Pingyang?"

Song Li was silent for a moment and asked hesitantly.

"There have been wars on the border for many years, if there is an internal struggle in the country at this time, wouldn't it give the neighboring countries a chance to take advantage of the situation, not to mention ......" Emperor Tianxuan said and suddenly fell silent, and then he sighed and continued: "The first emperor once divided the talisman into two, half of it was in Xu Qing's hand, and the other half happened to be in the hands of King Pingyang......"

Song was startled, a little unable to believe what he had heard.

Tianxuan knows that Zhenbei General Xu Ao has half a talisman in his hand, and he is in charge of half of Tianxuan's military power, but no one knows who is in the hands of the other talisman, some people guess that it is in the hands of the emperor, and some people speculate that the half talisman has followed the former emperor into Huangling, and some people speculate that this talisman is only half a piece, and the other half is fictitious.

Now does she know the secrets of the heavens?

If it is really as Emperor Tianxuan said, another piece of talisman is in the hands of King Pingyang, then it also explains the reason why Emperor Tianxuan never dared to make a move against Jinyang.

If you really make a move, it will only be a lose-lose situation, and even worse, it is difficult to say whether the person sitting on this throne is the Tianxuan Emperor or not.

Song Li pursed her lips, her eyes shook a little, what was the purpose of Emperor Tianxuan telling her this?

"In the past ten years, I have been sending spies to find the half of the talisman, and my people have turned the Pingyang Royal Mansion upside down, but they have not been able to find the half of the talisman......

Song Li slowly pondered Emperor Tianxuan's words, and a touch of things flashed in her mind, but she didn't catch them.

Emperor Tianxuan summoned her into the palace late at night, and it would definitely not be a trivial matter to avoid the enthronement at the palace gate, and he deliberately mentioned this matter, did he want her to retrieve the half of the talisman?

She told Emperor Tianxuan what she thought in her heart.

Emperor Tianxuan's face quickly showed a few meaningful smiles, "You are really smart, you can guess what I mean with a guess." ”

Song Li's facial features instantly wrinkled.

"It's not good......"

She said hesitantly, only to see Emperor Tianxuan looking at her, with a bit of deep meaning in her eyes, "You don't want to?" ”

Looking at Emperor Tianxuan's appearance, Song Li nodded for a moment, neither shook his head.

Seeing Song Li's hesitation, Emperor Tianxuan suddenly smiled, "This matter was arranged by your master." ”

Song Li was suddenly stunned, what does this have to do with her master?

"I spent a lot of money to hire the immortal chief to find a talisman for me, but the immortal chief has already left Tianxuan to go to Dongyue, and he flew a pigeon to pass a letter to me and said that you can only go to this matter, and no one else can find it."

As he spoke, Emperor Tianxuan took out a letter from the table and threw it on the table, raising his chin at her.

Song Li slowly paced forward and picked up the envelope, only to see that the envelope read: Beloved disciple Song Liqinqi.

And the envelope has not been opened yet, obviously Emperor Tianxuan has not opened this letter yet.

Isn't Emperor Tianxuan's suspicious character curious about what Qingxu said to her?

Seeing Song Li's puzzled look, Emperor Tianxuan smiled faintly, "I am curious about what the Immortal Chief said in the letter, but the Immortal Chief said in his letter to me that you will only do this for me if the letter is handed over to you intact, so I have not opened the letter." ”

Song Li nodded, opened the envelope, and took out the letter, with only one sentence written on it: Lost relatives in the south, and lost friends in the southwest. Be cautious, be cautious!

If she was not mistaken, it should have been a prophecy.

lost relatives in the south, and the route of Song Huaijin and the prince's disaster relief happened to be in the south, and the southwest lost friends and the southwest ......

Song Li couldn't understand the meaning of Qingxu's letter to her.

She didn't have friends to go to the southwest, she could understand the first half of the sentence, but what the second half of the sentence meant.

Disaster relief in the south is imperative, this road is quite dangerous, and Qingxu knows her as a person, and she will definitely go after knowing that Song Huaijin will have an accident.

She was really defeated at the hands of Qingxu.

"I'll go, I can't go!"

Song Li folded the letter in his hand and stuffed it into the envelope and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Seeking good fortune and avoiding evil is her strength, only if she goes, she can ensure the safety of Song Huaijin and Chu Tianfeng, and she has to go no matter what.

"Three days later I set out with them, and I did what I could."

The smile on Emperor Tianxuan's face became deeper and deeper, as if she was sure that she would definitely find the talisman.

Song Li was silent on the surface, but in her heart she sneered at the game, the most important thing in her trip was to protect Song Huaijin's safety, and other things were just to be mixed up, she had no obligation to do things for Emperor Tianxuan.

"Actually, the dragonfly incident is a test for you...... Emperor Tianxuan suddenly said meaningfully: "Finding someone in the palace is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in the sea, you sent her to me in half a month, and the token probably won't take long......

Song Li instantly felt his head big.

Emperor Tianxuan, an old and cunning thing, had already set her up, but she didn't find out about it.

She really dug a pit for herself to jump, if she had known that there would be such a tricky thing, she would not have exposed her skills so quickly.

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say......"

Song Li shook his head with a smile.

"You go back to the house first and get ready."

Emperor Tianxuan looked at Song Li's expression appreciatively and said leisurely.

Looking at the appearance of Emperor Tianxuan, Song Li actually had a feeling of being played with in the palm of her hand, she was a physiognomist and a warlock, she had always played with people in the palm of her hand, and now it was her turn that she finally understood the taste.

"Yes, the courtier will retire first, and the emperor will rest early."

Song Li saluted Emperor Tianxuan, turned around and gritted his teeth and was about to leave.

Emperor Tianxuan suddenly called out to her at this time, "Don't let people find out when you go back, it's best to go back the way you came, and the informants on that road have been dispersed by Jing Yan." ”

"Yes, the courtiers understand." Song Li stopped again and turned around in response.

Leaving the palace, she returned the same way again and returned to the courtyard, where no one except Song Yu knew that she had left.

Song Li sneaked into the house, and Song Yu appeared in front of Song Li when he heard the sound.

"Miss, I saw you leave with that person just now, is there something wrong?"

"There's something big!" Song Li wailed, lay down on the bed, and then sat up from the bed suddenly, and ordered Song Yu with a solemn expression, "You go down and transfer twenty secret guards, and leave the capital with me in three days, remember not to alarm anyone!" ”

Song Li's eyes tightened, and he pursed his lips, although he didn't know what Song Li was going to do when he was leaving the capital, he could only obey her orders.

"Yes Miss!"

Song Yu replied and disappeared in front of Song Li again.

Song Li took off his coat and lay down on the bed, thinking a lot, until he had a husband in the early hours of the morning, and then gradually fell asleep.

On the second day, she was woken up by Yingyue.

"Miss, the fifth miss is about to go to Zhuangzi, she said she wants to see you, and she has something to say to you."

Yingyue glanced at Song Li and slowly conveyed Song Yunzhu's words.

Song Li nodded, he didn't expect Song Zhang to act so quickly, and he was going to send people away in one night, but this is okay, only when she sees Song Yunzhu leave her can she rest assured, if it is late, things will change, who knows what will happen after a long time.

She quickly got up and changed her clothes.

On the carriage at the door, Song Yunzhu stood in front of the carriage, her unpowdered face showed her original immaturity, and when she saw Song Li coming out, she suddenly giggled and laughed extremely arrogantly.

"Say something quickly, fart quickly, I don't have time to watch you giggle here."

Song Yunzhu still giggled and didn't speak.

Song Li glanced at Song Yunzhu and was about to leave, when Song Yunzhu suddenly called out to her, "Eldest sister, we will see you again......"

Song Yunzhu's tail voice dragged on for a long time, and it seemed that there was something in the words.
