Sure enough, just as she guessed, Xiao Yan would be assassinated, and someone was secretly targeting him.

Even after the assassination failed, he still persevered in searching for Xiao Qi's whereabouts, which is enough to show that the other party does not plan to let Xiao Qi return to Beijing alive.

It's just that who is behind the scenes, but she can't guess for a while. If it was Xie Lingzhi, Xiao Han didn't believe it.

Now that the emperor's uncle is still there, the forbidden army and the Yulin army are both held by the emperor's uncle, and now they can't mobilize any troops at all.

If it was really Xie Lingzhi, it would be too risky, and according to what she knew about him, this style of acting was not too much like what the cautious Xie Lingzhi did.

If it weren't for Xie Lingzhi, Xiao Han could only think of Zhao Cairen, but at the moment, Zhao Cairen was no different from being beaten into the cold palace, and her brother was also demoted out of Beijing, would she still have the ability to plan this assassination?

Anyway, now that Xiao Qi has been found, this is the most fortunate thing. If something happened to Xiao Yan, she really didn't know what kind of thing she would do.

However, considering that Empress Zhao had a previous experience in assassinating Xiao Qi, she still instructed Hongxiu to arrange a few people to keep an eye on Zhao Cairen to see if she and her subordinates had secretly left the palace or had contact with strangers in private.

After Hongxiu was ordered to leave, Xiao Han sat down and began to reply to Xiao Yi.

In the case of not knowing how many people there are on the other side, she does not recommend that Xiao Yi take Xiao Qi back to Beijing at the risk of exposure. According to her idea, if she wants Xiao Yi to take the prince to hide in a safe place, she will find a trustworthy person to take the troops where to take Xiao Qi back to Beijing.

She didn't believe that the other party dared to risk exposure and assassinate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was protected by layers of troops!

After writing the letter, the carrier pigeon brought the letter back to Xiao Yi, and when Hongxiu came back, she commanded in a low voice: "Change your clothes, this palace has to go out of the palace!" ”

After changing into light clothes, Xiao Han hurriedly left the palace with Hongxiu and Cuiwei and went straight to the Zhenguo Mansion.

If you talk about using the army, the first thing Xiao Han thinks of is his grandfather.

Although Grandpa is in charge of the Northwest Army, and now there is a new commander over there, Xiao Han knows. When Grandpa led her back to Beijing, he also brought back hundreds of wounded, sick and disabled veterans.

These veterans and veterans could not continue to stay in the army due to physical reasons, but Grandpa couldn't bear it, so he brought them back to the capital and let them make a living from the capital. For this reason, most of the gold and silver rewarded by the emperor's uncle were subsidized by the grandfather. And these people, only Grandpa's orders are obeyed.

In her opinion, if you want not to alarm the people in the shadows, you can bring Xiao Qi to the capital safe and sound, it must be Grandpa.

Hongxiu knocked on the door of the Zhenguo Mansion, and when the gatekeeper saw Xiao Han, he was surprised: "Your Royal Highness the Princess? ”

Xiao Han said in a low voice: "Has Grandpa ever come back?" ”

The gatekeeper hurriedly said: "Back to the princess, it has been a while since the master came back, and he is now in the study!" ”

"Hongu knows." As he spoke, he entered the house and went straight to the study.

When I arrived in the study, I found that the housekeeper Qi Bo was also there, and there was a clear children's voice inside, reciting the article word by word.

As soon as Qi Bo saw her, he hurriedly saluted: "The old slave greets Her Royal Highness the Princess." Qi Bo's voice was not suppressed, and naturally it also reached the house, and the sound of reading stopped immediately.

Xiao Hanquan didn't see it, and said in a light tone: "Get up, this palace is here to find Grandpa." ”

As soon as her words fell, the door of the study was opened, and the figure of Zhen Guogong appeared in front of them, and said with a smile: "Ah Han is here, it just so happens that Xin Ming is also there, you haven't seen him yet." Xin Ming, come here, this is Princess Pingle. ”

Xiao Han smiled and said: "This is Xin Ming, I don't have any gifts for you when we meet for the first time, there is a jade seal here, which is my private seal, so I will give it to you as a gift." ”

Before Zhenguo could speak publicly, Qi Xinming pushed the jade seal back with his small hand, and said with a glance: "'No merit is not rewarded', this gift is too precious, Ming'er dare not accept it." Please also ask the princess to take it back. ”

Seeing Qi Xinming's appearance as a little adult, Xiao Han smiled, although Qi Ziyang and the Chen family made her unhappy, but Qi Xinming unexpectedly made her like it.

She also knew that this gift was too precious to the young Qi Xinming, so she took the opportunity to put it away, and said with a smile: "You don't accept this gift, when the palace returns, I will give you a suitable gift, and you must not refuse when the time comes." ”

Qi Xinming smiled shyly and did not speak, but Zhen Guogong said loudly: "It's so late, the princess came here on purpose, presumably there is something to discuss." Qi Bo, take Xin Ming back to review your homework first, I have something to say to the princess. ”

"Yes, sir. Young Master Sun, let's go back to the yard with the old slave. Ziber said. After speaking, he took Qi Xinming's hand and turned around and left the study.

After seeing Qi Bo leave with Qi Xinming, Xiao Han entered the study with Zhen Guogong, and after closing the study door, Hongxiu and Cuiwei were guarding outside the door.

Zhen Guogong was puzzled: "It's so late, you hurried back, but what happened?" ”

Since she sought Grandpa's help, she naturally didn't plan to hide it, she briefly talked about the matter, and finally said: "It's about the prince, and only Grandpa can be trusted by Ah Han in the capital." So Ah Han wants to ask Grandpa to go to the outskirts of Beijing to bring His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to the capital safely! ”

Zhen Guogong didn't expect it to be such a big thing, but he had seen a lot of big scenes in his life, and he quickly calmed down: "This matter, the minister can do it, at least the other party is not sending an army, and the minister is sure to bring the prince back." ”

Xiao Han smiled: "I knew that Grandpa would definitely help me, so please leave this matter to Grandpa." ”

said that he blessed Zhenguo Gong, which made Zhenguo Gong hurriedly pick her up: "You are now a princess, and now you are still a princess of the prison country, I am a courtier, so I will naturally obey the king, so you don't have to salute me." ”

When Xiao Han heard these words, she felt sad, but she also knew in her heart that what Grandpa said was right. They are relatives and ministers, and relatives can be intimate with each other, but not between kings and ministers. Even if you are a loved one, you must be on guard.

After telling Grandpa how to contact Xiao Yi, Xiao Han left the Zhenguo Mansion and turned around and returned to the Princess Mansion. After arriving at the princess's mansion, Liu Xing hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Princess, you are back, the mansion has received a lot of posts for visits during this time, and the servants don't know what to do." ”

Xiao Han frowned, thought for a while, and then said: "Classify the posts, I think the most important thing is left, and the rest are all back for the palace, so I said that the palace is busy with state affairs and can't get away." ”

"The slave understands, and all the shopkeepers in the year have reported the account books, saying that you can take a look." Liu Xing hurriedly said.

There have been too many things that have happened recently, Xiao Han was busy and dizzy, and she really didn't pay much attention to the things of these shops under her hands, but after calculating the time, she frowned and said, "Why is it so late?" ”

Liu Xing sighed and said, "You have been busy before, and the shopkeepers from all over the country have come once, but unfortunately I haven't been able to see you." At that time, the minions didn't seem to be in a good mood when they saw you, so they didn't dare to let this bother you. In the past few days, the shopkeepers have probably heard about you being crowned a princess, and they have to make a noise to see you. Plus you happen to be back now, isn't the minion coming for you? ”

Hearing Liu Xing's words, she probably understood the meaning of Liu Xing's words: "You mean, they want to use the name of the palace as a signboard?" ”

Liu Xing wiped his sweat and said hesitantly: "This... The minions don't mean that, but these shopkeepers don't want to see you, and the minions don't know what to do with them, so they don't wait for the master to come back and get an idea! ”

Xiao Han turned to Hongxiu and said, "Hongxiu, you stay, check the account book, and then see what kind of medicine these people sell in the gourd." ”

"No." Hongxiu responded.

After returning to the study, Xiao Han shouted in a low voice, "Dark One, come out." ”

After seeing the dark one, Xiao Han said: "From now on, let the secret guards under your command enter the palace with the main palace." Also, how many Dark Guards are there now? Hongu is asking for qualified candidates! ”

"Back to the master, there are now a total of 218 qualified secret guards, and more than 100 are still being assessed." Dark One replied respectfully.

Xiao Han tapped his fingertips on the table, pondered for a moment and replied: "It is enough to leave more than ten people around the palace, and the rest of the people are still performing their duties. ”

"The subordinates understand, but they just allow the subordinates to ask more, are the more than ten people who entered the palace like Ziluo and them, or did they enter the palace as secret guards?"

Xiao Han smiled and said: "Of course it's as a secret guard, it's not that this palace doesn't know that there are very few women in the secret guard, and this palace can't let you become eunuchs, right?" ”

"My subordinates understand!" After listening to it, he chose to turn a blind eye to his master's ridicule and disappeared directly in front of Xiao Han, which made Xiao Han laugh.

After arranging everything almost completely, Xiao Han took Cuiwei back to the palace.

On the second day, the DPRK and the Central Committee received a note from the Zhenguo Gong 'on leave'. Zhen Guogong took a few days off on the grounds that he was 'old and unwell, and needed to recuperate for a few days'. It is not mentioned exactly when he returned to the dynasty.

When Xiao Han saw Song Shu, he pretended to be surprised, and said worriedly: "Zhenguo Gong has been fighting outside all the year round, and he is old, if he is really unwell, he can rest for a few days, and when he is well, he will return to the court." ”

The other three auxiliary ministers did not have any objection to this matter, after all, if there was one less person, there would be one less person who objected. The four of them belong to different factions, and they check and balance each other. Now that there is one less person in the way, who is still in the princess's lineage, it is too late for them to be happy in their hearts, how can they help Zhen Guogong speak?

At this time, no one in the court knew that the prince of Zhenguo, who was 'sick and on leave', was leading a team of people to sneak out of the city, and then rushed to the outskirts of Beijing.

After confirming that Grandpa had set off, Xiao Han's heart fell halfway, and the remaining half could only be completely let go when he saw Xiao Yan.

After two days quietly, Xiao Han received a message from Xiao Yi on this day, saying that they had joined the Zhenguo Guild, and the two groups of people began to return to Beijing, and they would be able to return to Beijing before the city gate closed today.

After seeing this news, Xiao Han was overjoyed, she wanted to go to Yong'an Palace immediately to tell the emperor's uncle the good news, but thinking that now Xiao Qi has not returned to Beijing after all, and when he returns to Beijing, take him to the emperor's uncle to see with his own eyes, maybe the emperor's uncle's illness will be cured.

Holding back her excitement, Xiao Han began to deal with official business, but today's time passed extremely slowly in Xiao Han's eyes, which made her want to return to Beijing immediately.

Calculating that the time was about the same, Xiao Han left the palace, Qiao Zhuang dressed up and arrived at the north gate of the capital, according to the news from Xiao Yi, they would choose to enter the capital from the north gate.

She found a place where she could have an unobstructed view of the north gate, and stared at the city gate without blinking, wanting to see Xiao Qi for the first time.

After waiting for about half an hour, Xiao Han saw a man who looked very similar to Xiao Yan, but was dressed very plainly, wearing a hat on his head, walking in.

Xiao Han took a closer look, and found that there were two people behind the man, who seemed to be protecting him, and the more he looked at it, the more he looked like Xiao Yan, and when the man successfully entered the city, he disappeared under the protection of the two people behind him.

Xiao Han got up and left the restaurant and went back to the princess's mansion directly. She told Xiao Yi that once she successfully brought the prince back to the capital, she would rush to the princess's mansion as soon as possible, and the princess's mansion was guarded by the secret guards she arranged, which was the safest place except for the palace.

When she arrived at the princess's mansion, Liu Xing was already guarding in front of the princess's mansion, and when she saw her master appear, her eyes lit up, and she immediately stepped forward and saluted: "The slave greets the master." ”

"Let's get up, how's it going, have you arrived?" Xiao Han asked in a low voice.

After entering the mansion, Liu Xingcai said: "If you go back to the master, Grandpa Guo has already taken His Royal Highness to the mansion, and he is now resting in the living room." ”

As soon as he heard this, Xiao Han hurried to the living room, and sure enough, he saw Xiao Yan, who was dressed plainly and his face was a little pale. I haven't seen him for a few days, and for Xiao Han, it's like every three autumns, and after seeing Xiao Yan, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How are you doing?" Are there any injuries? ”

Xiao Qi first coughed a few times, and then replied in a hoarse voice: "Lonely, if it weren't for the people you sent to go quickly, Lone probably wouldn't have returned to Beijing so easily." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Han hesitated a little and said, "Ah Qi, tell me, have you already guessed who is behind the scenes?" ”

Xiao Qi said in a low voice: "Now is not the time to talk about this matter, Zhen Guogong has suffered a lot in order to escort Lonely, and it is time for him to go back to rest and rest first." Otherwise, the lonely one who is a junior will have a difficult conscience. ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhen Guogong got up and said, "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is that the old man's old bones are going to be scattered, and it's time to go back and rest well!" ”

With that, he got up and said goodbye and left the princess's mansion.
