Chapter 160
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been unprofessional before, but now he thinks about the country, which is naturally very good, but it always makes people feel a little strange.
Liang Lian, Wei Shen, and Qin Ruilan all looked at Si Nanping, wanting to see how he reacted.
I saw Si Nanping frowning, and muttered in a low voice: "Lu Huiling entered the palace as a concubine, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led hundreds of officials to donate Yulu, what about Lu Gaohong?" What did Lu Gaohong do? ”
"If Lu Huiling entered the palace as a concubine just to take revenge on Huanqing, would Lu Gaohong agree? If there was no Lu Gaohong, Lu Huiling would not have had a chance to contact the emperor at all. Qin Ruilan said suddenly.
Si Nanping raised his head and looked at Qin Ruilan, the two looked at each other, he nodded and said, "Miss Qin is really smart. ”
"But what does the matter of the court have to do with Lu Huiling, if Lu Gaohong sent Lu Huiling into the palace for His Royal Highness the Prince, then how can he guarantee that this step is really useful?" Qin Ruilan asked again.
"Because of Empress Myeonghyun." Si Nanping said indifferently, "It is not impossible for Lu Huiling to be eight points similar to Empress Mingxian, and then dress her up, so that the emperor can see her and think of Mingxian." ”
"Just for the sake of His Royal Highness the Prince, is Lu Huiling willing to enter the palace?" Qin Ruilan looked around at the few people present and said embarrassedly, "The emperor is about the same age as Lu Gaohong, besides..."
When Qin Ruilan said this, everyone here naturally understood that the emperor was old and frail, and he might have to drive west in a short time... Lu Huiling put his life on this matter, which inevitably makes people feel that it is not worth it.
"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, will it be good for Lu Huiling?" Sinan Ping set up a possibility, "It's like... can take revenge, Lu Huiling's purpose is not only for the prince, but also for revenge on Huanqing. ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now has the advantage, in the position of the prince, entering the East Palace, proudly above the court, and there are people blowing wind in the ears of the emperor's pillow. Yu Jing Wang and Huan Qing are not good. Qin Ruilan said bluntly.
Several of you here are your own people, so you don't have to hide it.
"Qi Jingyang wants to compete with Qi Jingqin for the throne?" Liang Xiao listened silently with a frown, and suddenly asked.
"It has always been King Jing who is fighting with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Si Nanping glanced at Liang Lian, and said leisurely, "I always thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was incapable and unworthy of being the prince, so King Jing thought that he could take his place, for the sake of the people of the world, and for the sake of the century-old foundation of the Heavenly Empire, now... I can't take it anymore. ”
"So what should we do?" Liang Xiao asked.
Although Liang Lian used to stand in a neutral position like Liang Fengmian, but now the battle for the throne is related to Liang Huanqing's safety, if Qi Jingyang ascends the throne and the emperor naturally, then not to mention that Qi Jingyang will not let go of Qi Jingqin, and Liang Huanqing will also be persecuted, and Lu Huiling will definitely not let go of Liang Huanqing at that time.
Liang Lin felt in his heart at this time that Qi Jingqin might really be more suitable than His Royal Highness the Prince, Qi Jingyang was only working hard for a while at best, maybe he would be a tyrant after taking the throne, and he would have to discuss everything with Lu Gaohong, and at that time, the royal family of the Celestial Dynasty would be afraid that he would have the surname Lu.
Now it seems that Lu Gaohong and Lu Huiling do not have a fuel-efficient lamp, the Liang family thinks that letting Qi Jingqin lead the army to the expedition is conducive to making meritorious contributions and making the emperor change his mind, who knows that the Lu family also thinks so, they want to hold the power firmly in their hands during the days when Qi Jingqin left Shangjing and stayed away from the court, and Lu Huiling is just a chess piece in Lu Gaohong's hands.
Si Nanping lowered his head and groaned, after listening to Liang Huanqing say what happened in the palace, they all began to realize that things were not as simple as they imagined, I am afraid it was quite tricky.
"Lu Huiling is the most favorable stepping stone on the road to the rise of the prince, with her, the emperor will naturally think of the original Empress Mingxian, and the prince is appreciated by the emperor is even more effective with half the effort." Si Nanping muttered to himself.
"What if Lu Huiling is gone?" Qin Ruilan asked.
Si Nanping looked at Qin Ruilan: "Do you have a way?" ”
Qin Ruilan shook her head and said: "Lu Huiling is in the palace compound, and now she is the emperor's favorite concubine, although she has not been punished for imprisoning Princess Chaojing, presumably the emperor has put all his debts to Empress Mingxian on Lu Huiling." I'm just waiting for a courtier, where is there any way to deal with her. ”
"If Lu Huiling is not here, just the things that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has done are estimated to be not enough to make the emperor pay so much attention to it, and in the past few days, Lu Gaohong has also summoned his ministers to praise the prince, which makes the prince even more beautiful." Liang Lin and Wei Shen glanced at each other, lowered their heads and said.
They know that the situation is powerless for their own party, but there is nothing they can do to change it.
After listening to Liang Xiao, Si Nanping suddenly laughed, as if he had thought of some good idea.
Liang Lian, Wei Shen, and Qin Ruilan glanced at each other, and they all asked in unison, "What did Mr. Si think of?" ”
Si Nanping immediately changed his decadent and contemplative appearance, and instantly shook the folding fan and smiled like a spring breeze, and said to them with a smile: "Lu Gaohong's move is not advanced. ”
Hearing him say this, Liang Lin and the others were confused, and they couldn't understand what he was saying, Lu Gaohong summoned his ministers to praise the prince in front of the emperor, I am afraid it was just to increase the emperor's favor towards the prince and stabilize the position of the prince.
"Lu Gaohong was in a hurry in this trip, and wanted to quickly establish the image of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as diligent and serving the people in front of the emperor, but now that the emperor is still in power, if someone points out that the prince has overstepped, the limelight among the courtiers will overshadow the emperor, I am afraid that Lu Gaohong will not be able to save the prince, and even Lu Gaohong himself will have to be implicated." Everything must be opposed, and everyone here understands this truth.
Hearing Si Nanping say this, several people were enlightened.
"Then who is going to point out the prince's overstepping?" Qin Ruilan could hear what Si Nanping wanted to do, so she asked bluntly.
Si Nanping bowed his hand to Qin Ruilan and said, "This matter is going to trouble Lord Lingzun." ”
"My father?" Qin Ruilan asked rhetorically, "My father has always followed General Liang to stand in the position, and everyone in the court knows that my family is friendly with the Liang Mansion. ”
"Having said that, Lord Qin and General Liang are both loyal and good generals, so it is more appropriate for Lord Qin to point them out." Si Nanping arched his hand and said.
Qin Ruilan still felt that something was wrong in her heart, although Si Nanping was reasonable, but now it was different from the past.
Qi Jingqin and Liang Fengmian are both far away from the border, although the emperor often thinks about it, but there is also a Lu Huiling in the harem, if she knows that Qin Yuan is clearly saying that Qi Jingyang is not, then the emperor is listening to Lu Huiling so much now, maybe the next unlucky one will be Qin Yuandao.
"But there is also a Lu Huiling in the harem, has Mr. Si forgotten about this?" Seeing that Qin Ruilan was silent, Wei Shen could see her worries at a glance, although it was also for Liang Huanqing's sake, she still had to protect herself first, and this matter was really inappropriate.
"yes." Liang Lin also felt that Si Nanping's words were a little inappropriate, "If Lord Qin is really implicated because he was designed by Lu Huiling at this time, I'm afraid Huan Qing will also feel uneasy in his heart." ”
Si Nanping frowned and lowered his head, he didn't think about it comprehensively, he just thought about letting King Jing turn the tables and support King Jing to ascend the throne, this is what he has been working hard for, but when it comes to Liang Huanqing, he began to become less rational.
"Miss Qin, I have been rude to me just now, and I hope to forgive me." Si Nanping pondered for a while, and then said to Qin Ruilan.
Qin Ruilan stared at Si Nanping in front of him, as if he could see clearly the intentions behind him, and he could always feel that he was not just planning this matter for King Jing, but when he knew that Huan Qing might be implicated in this matter, he felt even more anxious.
"Mr. Si, I hope you can be rational and don't do anything overstepping." Qin Ruilan said such a sentence inexplicably, and everyone was a little surprised.
But Qin Ruilan and Si Nanping both knew what she was talking about.
Si Nanping was silent for a while, and arched his hand and said, "Thank you Miss Qin for reminding me and remembering it." ”
Liang Huanqing is the princess after all, Si Nanping categorically can't think anything wrong about her, he just wants to protect her silently, and now that King Jing is not around, she was persecuted by Lu Huiling as soon as she entered the palace, which made him worry and get anxious.
This is Xiao'er is returning from Linlang Garden, Qin Ruilan got up and said when she saw it: "If it is too late today, since Huanqing has come back safely, then this matter will be like this for the time being, General Liang and King Jing are far away at the border, and I wish to return safely to solve the current situation." I'll take my leave. ”
"I'll send you back." Wei Shen also stood up and said.
Qin Ruilan's words were reasonable, and after thinking for a while, several people felt reasonable, so they all agreed: "It's okay, then since that's the case, let's go back first." ”
Liang Xiao nodded: "I still have to talk to my father about this matter, and I must not act rashly." ”
Si Nanping nodded: "Fang Cai is overstepping down." ”
After Liang Lin and the others left, Si Nanping sat in the main hall, drinking tea silently, thinking about how to help Liang Huanqing take revenge on Lu Huiling.
At this moment, Si Nanping, who has always advocated staying away from the court, suddenly had the idea of becoming an official in the court, just to have the ability to protect the people he wanted to protect.

Liang Huanqing didn't bother all night, and Yuebai could only take a nap when he was by his side, but he was always groggy and couldn't sleep.
"Moon white! Moon White! As soon as Liang Huanqing closed her eyes, she could see Jiang Yi's tragic death, she stretched out her hand and danced wildly, shouting Yuebai's name.
Yuebai was sitting on the side looking at Jiang Yi's jade jue in her hand, and when she heard that the princess was calling her, she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her hand and said, "I'm here, princess, the slave is here." ”
Liang Huanqing's face was full of tears, she opened her eyes and looked at Yuebai: "I'm so scared..."
