After Nalan Qiqing and Yudie came to the path near the old village chief's house, they did not go home directly, but hid behind the wall of a half-collapsed villager's house, secretly observing the old village chief's house.

I saw that not long after the official entered, he hurried out with the old village chief, and the two of them rushed in the direction of the village entrance one after the other.

The old village chief had just walked not far away, and the Aunt Hua also came out of the old village chief's house, and Nalan Qiqing hurriedly shouted softly: "Sister Hua, I'm here."

"Sister Lan Qi, just right, don't go home, I just heard from the official that it seems that the whole village is going to gather in the square, and the Tong County Order has something important to announce. It seems that something big has happened in the DPRK. After Aunt Hua heard Nalan Qiqing's voice, she ran to Nalan Qiqing's side with an uneasy face and whispered.

"What! Something big happened in the middle of the court? Could it be that the emperor ......" Nalan Qiqing's face suddenly changed, and she said emotionally, but before she finished speaking, she was stopped by Yu Die's eyes.

"Mother, don't worry, since Aunt Hua said, Master Tong is going to convene everyone to give a lecture, and when the villagers arrive, we will naturally know what is going on, don't think about it." After Yu Die hinted with her eyes, she hurriedly said, the purpose was to stop Nalan Qiqing from continuing.

Because she was afraid that Nalan Qiqing would say the wrong thing for a while, it would be bad for Aunt Hua to become suspicious, so she quickly interrupted Nalan Qiqing's words.

In her heart, a trace of bad premonition suddenly sprung up, that is, the major events that happened in the court were very likely to be related to the emperor. If that's the case, she's really worried about whether Nalan Qiqing will be able to withstand this kind of blow.

After Nalan Qiqing saw Yudie's eyes, she also came to her senses instantly, and she didn't continue to say, because she was just an ordinary village woman at present, so how could she casually mention the emperor's affairs.

"Sister Lan Qi, are you okay? This emperor is the Ninety-Five, what can he do easily. I estimate that it is possible that the black-tailed leafhopper country is coming to attack our country again, after all, out of our village, through that desert is the black-tailed leafhopper country, so Lord Tong came to mobilize everyone to abandon Yanjia Village and settle down in the county town guarded by the city wall, so as not to cause unnecessary casualties. Tong Daren has also been here a few times for this reason before, but the villagers have lived here for generations, and their feelings are too deep, and they refuse Tong Daren's kindness every time. ”

Aunt Hua saw that Nalan Qiqing's face was not good, and she spoke with concern.

"Oh, Sister Hua, I think too much. You are right, the emperor is the son of heaven, with the blessing of God, and he is a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people. Nalan Qiqing also realized that she was a little out of shape, and hurriedly said according to Aunt Hua's meaning.

Not long after Nalan Qiqing chatted with Aunt Hua, she saw the old village chief climb the bell tower in the central square, ring the big bell for emergency assembly in the village, and began to gather the villagers.

So, Nalan Qiqing and Aunt Hua, as well as the rain butterfly in their arms, walked towards the central square together.

Along the way, Yudie would look at the sky and in the distance from time to time, but no matter how closely she looked at it, she didn't see the dead bodies and lotus flowers painted on the fourth page of the ancient book.

Only other villagers came one after another.

After about a stick of incense, finally all the villagers came to the central square, and after collectively kneeling down to worship Tong County's order, they all stood up and patiently listened to Lord Tong's announcement of important news.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the purpose of this official's visit today is completely different from the past. It's not to discuss things with everyone, but to accept what I'm talking about. Do you understand? Tong Xian Ling said with a serious face and an unquestioning tone.

"Lord Hui, could it be that the Black-tailed Leafhopper Country is coming to invade our country again, and you are here to persuade us to give up Yanjia Village? If this is the case, then we understand your kindness, and our five brothers still say the same thing, that is, the village is in the people, and the village is dead. As soon as Tong Xian Ling finished speaking, a middle-aged man who looked burly and had a resolute face said in a stubborn tone.

"Bold! Little Diao Min, dare to talk to my family like this, are you impatient? Well? Don't kneel down and beg my family for mercy! A somewhat arrogant official beside Tong Xian Ling pointed at the middle-aged man and scolded angrily.

"Yo he, you're just a little servant, Master Tong hasn't spoken yet, what kind of green onion are you, and you dare to yell at me! Look at your unfamiliar face, new here, right? Didn't the other officials tell you that everyone who talked to me like you in the past was beaten by me so much that I couldn't get out of bed for a month? The middle-aged man stared at the official with some amusement and said very politely.

"It's true that I'm just a servant, and I've heard that you five brothers haven't even taken Tong into account. But now it's different from the past, my cousin is the newly appointed governor, and my lord is still representing the governor to convey the will of the new emperor, do you want to rebel? The official was obviously not afraid of the middle-aged man's threat, and said in an equally tough tone.

"The new emperor? Master Tong, is this what you are talking about? The old village chief looked at Tong County Ling in great surprise and asked.

"What? New Emperor! How is this possible! Could it be that the emperor ......" Nalan Qiqing shouted silently, and before she finished speaking, her eyes were dark, and she almost collapsed to the ground, but fortunately she was supported by Aunt Hua and other villagers next to her.

The words of this servant, coupled with Nalan Qiqing's fainting, suddenly the villagers were a little at a loss, and some villagers and wives who had a good relationship with Nalan Qiqing surrounded and carefully helped Nalan Qiqing to lie flat on the ground.

"Mother! Mother! What's wrong with you? Mother! Whining...... Doctor, help me see what's wrong with my mother! Yudie was so frightened that she cried out and hurriedly shouted.

"Sister Lan Qi, Sister Lan Qi...... Wake up! Aunt Hua helped Nalan Qiqing sit on the ground, slapped Nalan Qiqing's face, and shouted eagerly.

"Let's let me take a look." The old doctor said as he squeezed through the crowd.

"The new emperor? What do you mean? As far as I know, the lotus rain birth ceremony ended ten months ago, and the emperor did get the lotus birth of the son of heaven, whether it was the queen mother of the world, or the most favored Lan Guifei today to conceive the lotus birth of the son of heaven, it is estimated that she has just been born today, right? Is this the enthronement? Even so, then you have to treat our Yanjia Village with courtesy, because the smoke and rain in our village is still the lotus born heavenly girl, the future queen mother, and our village is the future royal village, how can you scare us with a word of the governor! Hum! ”

The middle-aged man was obviously a little surprised, but he quickly disagreed, pointing to the smoke and rain in Mrs. Yan's arms not far away, and his tone became extremely tough again.

"Haha! What a joke! Just like you in this poor country, how can there be a lotus born heavenly maiden! And even if there were, so what? What a lonely bunch of untouchables, let me tell you the truth! The queen mother and her maid in your mind have been burned to death by the fire and turned into a pile of charcoal. And the so-called most favored Concubine Lan in your mouth is even worse, she was chopped off her limbs and soaked in the lotus pond in the imperial garden of the palace. As for Liansheng Tianzi, his whereabouts are unknown, so the future queen of your village should also wake up from her dream, right? Yes? Haha......" The official laughed, walked up to the middle-aged man, and said with a look of disdain.

"What? The queen was burned to death by fire? Lan Guifei also ...... Soaking in a lotus pond? The whereabouts of the Son of Heaven are unknown? How is this possible! What about the emperor? How could he have allowed such a thing to happen? Your words are not to be believed, Master Tong, you are the parent official of our village, and we only believe what you say. The middle-aged man shouted in shock, and walked quickly to the Tong adult, who had not spoken again, waiting for his reply.

"Has Concubine Lan been chopped off and soaked in the lotus pond? She has always been the most afraid of pain, and she likes to torture others with this method the most, but she didn't expect this day to happen! Could it be that something really happened in the palace? Lord Tong, what about the emperor? Tell me, how is the emperor? Say it quickly! Perhaps it was the wild laughter of this official that woke up the fainting Nalan Qiqing, and after she woke up and listened to the words of the officer, she muttered a few words to herself, and suddenly stood up forcefully, stumbling in front of Tong Xianling, and shouted in despair.

"Mother! Come back! "Yudie couldn't pull it because she was holding Jun, so she could only watch Nalan Qiqing rush towards Tong County, she knew that something bad was going to happen.

Maybe the other villagers wouldn't believe the words of the officials, but Nalan Qiqing and Yudie had to believe it.

After all, the two of them took advantage of the fire in Nalan Qiqing's dormitory to escape from the palace in the name of fake death, and lived incognito in Yanjia Village, so since the official knew about this matter, his words became extremely credible.

For Nalan Qiqing, who is smart in ice and snow, she quickly guessed that it must have been the emperor who had an accident, and it was very likely that even Prime Minister Nangong Mo had an accident, otherwise how could she watch her own sister, Concubine Lan, be chopped off her limbs and soaked in the lotus pond!

Obviously, there have been tremendous changes in the palace, and it is not even ruled out that someone has usurped the throne and seized power and established himself as the emperor!

After thinking of this, Nalan Qiqing naturally lost her temper a little, so she was so emotional to ask Tong County Order.

"Bold slut, not only did she not kneel when she saw Lord Tong, but she dared to speak to adults in such a tone, my lord, do you drag her down to the cane and scold fifty dozen boards!" After another official beside Tong County Ling reprimanded Nalan Qiqing, he looked at Tong County Ling and respectfully asked for instructions.

"Don't! Tong Daren, the emperor...... Oh, my mother is weak, and she has been in a trance recently, so it is inevitable that she will say the wrong thing, and please be gracious! If you really want to fight, hit me. Adult, let my mother go! Yudie hugged Jun Buyu and then rushed up, knelt on the ground, and begged Tong County Commander for mercy. It's just that in a hurry, she almost shouted out the words Queen Mother, but fortunately, she reacted in time and changed her words.

This sudden change also made the other villagers look at each other, and they didn't understand what happened to Lan Qi, who had always been knowledgeable and dignified? Why did he care so much about the emperor's safety, and dared to offend Lord Tong, and shouted at Tong County Order in such a disrespectful tone.

Nalan Qiqing and Yudie's abnormal behavior naturally attracted the attention of the old village chief, recalling that Nalan Qiqing and Yudie happened to come to participate in the pregnancy ceremony, and gave birth to a little boy, and brought a personal maid, and the two of them did not look like ordinary women at first glance, and heard the official say that the queen mother and the maid were burned to death by the fire, and the whereabouts of the Lotus Son of Heaven are unknown.

At that moment, he suddenly seemed to understand something, and stared at Nalan Qiqing, Yudie, and the little baby boy in her arms with a surprised face, and looked at it carefully......
