When Jiang Qiancheng returned to the East Palace soon, the queen mother was still a little surprised, thinking that the emperor would keep him in the palace for a longer time, and even let him go in and not be able to get out, but he actually came back unharmed.

Jiang Qiancheng saw the surprise in the queen's eyes, so he said, "The queen seems to think that I came back too quickly. ”

"Isn't it? It takes less than half an hour to go back and forth, as if you just stopped at the gate of the palace and came back immediately. ”

Jiang Qiancheng smiled: "If you count it by time, it's pretty much like that." ”

"What did the emperor call you to the imperial study and ask?"

"Actually, he didn't ask anything."

The queen looked at him puzzled.

Jiang Qiancheng explained: "But he was really angry because he didn't get the money from those rich businessmen, and asked me to investigate the matter, and I agreed." ”

"You promised!" The queen's expression was even more surprised: "You did this matter, how can you agree to investigate?" There will be no results at all! ”

"I know."

"Then you are ......"

"Because there is no way to refuse, I can only choose to agree first."

The queen mother sighed, with a helpless expression on her face, thinking about it carefully, where could Jiang Qiancheng refuse what the emperor said? The best thing to do now is to stall for the best way to solve this matter.

"But this matter can't be hidden from the emperor all the time, sooner or later he will know that you and Bengong are behind the scenes, or you have to think about the way back."

Jiang Qiancheng sat down, his fingers lightly tapped on the tabletop, and then he raised his head to look at the queen mother and asked, "Queen mother, when did you go back to your mother's house?" ”

"Half a month ago, what's wrong?"

"It's almost time," Jiang Qiancheng said, "The queen has been away from the palace for too long, and it's not very bereological, do you think?" ”

The queen mother was stunned, and the moment she met Jiang Qiancheng's eyes, she suddenly reacted to what he meant, so she nodded: "What you said makes sense, the palace can't leave for too long, it's time to come back." ”

Day 2.

The queen mother asked people to release the news that they were coming back, and sure enough, the emperor's people immediately went to the imperial study to report, he said: "Your Majesty, I just got the news, the queen mother is already on her way back to the imperial city." ”

"What?" The emperor stood up suddenly: "Why did she come back so quickly?" Didn't I let her stay at her mother's house for a little longer? ”

"I heard that the queen thought that there was nothing interesting on her mother's side, so she simply came back."

“……”

The emperor was a little angry, the queen came back at this time, but she didn't help her plan at all, but because she was here, it would affect the implementation of her plan, no, she must not be allowed to come back!

"Someone!"

Immediately, the emperor's henchmen and guards walked in and arched their hands: "What does Your Majesty command?" ”

"You immediately bring someone to stop the queen, you must not let her come back to the imperial city so soon!"

The guards were a little worried: "Then what if the queen insists on coming back?" ”

"No matter how you do it, try to stop her without hurting her!"

"This ......"

"Why don't you go soon? Are you still waiting for me to figure out a way for you?! ”

“…… Be! Subordinates go do it right away! ”

As soon as the emperor sent people out, Jiang Qiancheng arranged for him to be a guard in the palace and sent the news back to the East Palace.

The queen mother fiddled with the jade pendant in her hand and said: "It seems that your guess is correct, the emperor will not let the palace come back at this time, obviously he wants to carry the palace behind his back to complete his plan." ”

"You knew it when he took you away, but now I'm more convinced that it wasn't a coincidence."

“…… What do you do next? The main palace is not in the sedan chair that came back, and it is difficult to explain if it is discovered. ”

"Just find someone who sounds like you and sit in the carriage."

"Where can I find someone like that?"

"I've got it ready for you."

“……”

The queen mother was a little surprised, and the jade pendant in her hand was also placed on the table, Jiang Qiancheng had never mentioned this matter in front of her, it seemed that she had already made this plan.

The queen didn't speak again, and Jiang Qiancheng naturally didn't continue, he looked at the folds in his hand, and picked up the pen from time to time to write something.

When Shan Wu came back, Jiang Qiancheng happened to finish reading all the stacks of folds at hand, and was about to tidy up and take them back to the study.

"Your Highness, she just received the carrier pigeon that Ruyi released from Jiangnan City, and she wants to know what the situation in the Imperial City is now."

"Just tell her, do you still need to discuss this kind of thing with me?"

Jiang Qiancheng got up and walked towards the study with the pile of folds in his arms, Shan Wu immediately followed behind him and whispered: "There is another thing, Ruyi said that Miss Yue doesn't seem to be in a very good mood recently, and I saw her crying when she was eating. ”

Jiang Qiancheng's footsteps stopped instantly.

Yamatake cleared his throat and asked cautiously, "Your Highness, look, do you need to write something else in the reply message?" ”

Jiang Qiancheng frowned slightly, and involuntarily pinched the corners of the fold, did Yue Qingming cry? It's really strange, I haven't seen her cry before when I was in the Imperial City.

"Why is Yue Qingming crying?"

"I didn't say this."

“…… Let Ruyi pay more attention to Yue Qingming's situation, and if Yue Qingming is not happy to stay in Jiangnan City, bring her back to me immediately! ”

"Yes!"

Shan Wu left, Jiang Qiancheng closed his eyes and took a deep breath, didn't he already return to her home, why did he still cry? Damn, if only I could be by her side at this time!

When Jiang Qiancheng came out of the study, the queen mother was still sitting in her original position, but there were two more cups of tea in front of her.

"What Shan Wu told you just now was the news of Yue Qingming, right?" The queen mother spoke: "How are they in Jiangnan City?" ”

"Jiang Qianbai and Yue Wan'er are naturally doing well."

"What about Yue Qing?"

“…… She is alone, naturally not as good as them. ”

The queen raised her eyebrows slightly: "Then you didn't think about taking her back?" Yue Qingming is so smart, he will definitely be able to help you, instead of letting her stay in the invisible place and worry, it is better to let her be in her sight. ”

"She can't come back now."

"Why?"

"The Emperor already has murderous intentions towards her, if she returns to the Imperial City now...... No, even on the way back, you could be assassinated by those sent by the Emperor! ”

The queen mother was stunned, her eyes full of surprise.

Jiang Qiancheng clenched his fists: "If it weren't for this, do you think I don't want her to be by my side?" ”
