Princess Yongping was wary of Qingrong and did not take her to the camp of King Qi, the carriage turned around for most of the day, and at night, someone drove the carriage back with Qingrong.

The emperor and the crown prince of the palace were already very anxious, and when they saw Qingrong coming back alone, they immediately asked how King Qi was doing.

"The concubine was hit by an arrow, which is very bad. I don't know where King Qi's camp is, but we walked for about half a day to get there. The princess kept an eye on her, and did not let everyone follow. A group of people were left outside. The princess said that the king of Qi asked me to be a lobbyist and asked the emperor to kill the prince and re-establish the prince. ”

Qingrong did not exactly follow what Princess Yongping taught her, first, Princess Yongping's escape rhetoric was a little exaggerated, and second, Qingrong had already indicated that Princess Yongping said that King Qi asked her to be a lobbyist. Anyway, the information she got came from Princess Yongping.

When the prince heard this, his face changed greatly, and he said angrily: "King Qi, did King Qi really say that? ”

Qingrong looked frightened and shook his head tremblingly.

The prince said: "Father, I will lead the troops to quell the chaos!" Please give me the right to fight! Rescue the mother concubine and Yongping. ”

Although Qingrong was anxious, he didn't dare to act rashly at all. She didn't know who was Princess Yongping's people in this palace, she was afraid that this palace had been surrounded by Princess Yongping's people, but if there was anything wrong with the emperor and the prince, her people would be able to serve them in a pot.

At this time, a soldier entered the door and said, "Report." ”

The emperor immediately summoned someone to come in and said, "The spies have come to report, and they have been surrounded on all sides, and the news cannot be sent out at all." ”

The emperor's face was bloodless, angry, and afraid, and said: "Can't send it out, is it possible that all the troops in Yuzhou are here?" ”

Outside the door, another soldier shouted "report".

The Emperor was already in a state of anxiety, and shouted to order people to enter the door.

The soldier who entered the door said: "The encircled army is shouting loudly, abolish the prince, and Qingjun is on the side." ”

When the crown prince was just in his blood, when he heard this, he couldn't sit still anymore, and said: "Father, let me lead the troops out, as long as I can create a hole, I can go to the eldest brother and the second brother to transfer troops." ”

The chamberlain, who had been silent beside the emperor, couldn't help but whisper: "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leaves with the troops, what will happen to Your Majesty?" The king of Qi is now red-eyed, and even his own mother dares to kill him! ”

Yes, don't even think about it, this chamberlain is Princess Yongping's person.

Qingrong understood at this moment how Princess Yongping won more with less, and she didn't plan to spend a single soldier at all. She planned to let the crown prince and the king of Qi compete with each other, and she would reap the benefits.

She told the king of Qi that the crown prince had committed a rebellion and kidnapped the emperor, and the king of Qi led the troops to rescue him, but the emperor did not know, what he saw was the rebellion of the king of Qi. And what the king of Qi heard was that the crown prince had taken the emperor hostage, and with the emperor as a hostage, he didn't dare to rush to send troops at all.

Whether it is a real rebellion or a fake rebellion, no one dares not to take the emperor's life seriously. Once the performance is too urgent, both of them will become impure motives, whoever causes the emperor's final death is really a rebellion, a teacher is nameless, and it is not justified.

Therefore, as long as Princess Yongping can successfully cause such a misunderstanding, then no matter what kind of news comes out on both sides, it will become a mutual accusation between King Qi and the crown prince.

The King of Qi would not believe any news from the palace, and the emperor would not believe any news from the King of Qi.

But Princess Yongping used the image of a weak person to win the trust of both sides at the same time, whether it was the king of Qi or the emperor, they would believe what Princess Yongping said.

As for how Princess Yongping skillfully caused a misunderstanding between the two parties, Qingrong can't say why for the time being.

However, Qingrong guessed that I am afraid that after coming back, Princess Yongping will already be conscious. After the child was poisoned by Li Guifei, she had probably started to prepare.

Princess Yongping has such a plan, does Yuan Heng know?

Qingrong subconsciously felt that Yuan Heng must have known, because he stayed in Beijing and did not leave Beijing. And Qingrong remembered very well that Yuan Heng was invited to stay in the capital.

What's more, those people controlled by Princess Yongping, Qingrong felt that Jin Wuwei must have been controlled internally.

The prince said: "Otherwise, what about it, do you sit still and wait to die?" ”

"All the King of Qi wants is the crown prince, and it is very easy for the emperor to keep himself." Qingrong suddenly spoke calmly.

She thought very clearly, chaos, chaos, chaos, the more chaotic the better. Guarding this suspicious and unsound ruthless emperor, Da Liang is no better.

It's better to disturb this world, and then the King of Liao will have a chance, and Song Zhao will have a chance. She can really straighten her waist and live in fear in the capital.

Thinking of this, Qingrong continued: "The prince wants to tear a hole, but can he tear it?" With an army of nearly 100,000 in Yuzhou, how did the prince hit a stone with an egg? The crown prince took all the soldiers away, so what about the emperor's safety? Can the prince really bring in reinforcements smoothly? If something happens to the emperor here, and the prince returns to the capital, will he be able to justifiably claim the emperor? ”

When the prince heard Qingrong's words, his face immediately changed, and he reprimanded angrily: "Bold! Don't lie and bewitch people here, spewing blood! ”

Qingrong said quietly: "I just said the actual situation that may happen, the prince, please don't be too anxious, don't be impatient." ”

The prince shouted: "No, Lone never has this idea!" As he spoke, he knelt down and walked to the emperor, saying, "Father, the loyalty of your sons to you can be seen by the sun and the moon. ”

Qingrong said: "King Qi wants to abolish the prince and Qingjun." As long as the emperor abolishes the crown prince, the king of Qi will have no excuses. If the name is not right, when the time comes, the emperor will send someone to negotiate peace, and promise to make King Qi the crown prince, and give up the throne to King Qi, so that he can protect himself. ”

In fact, this is not a good way, Qingrong said this just to provoke trust between the emperor and the crown prince.

The prince's face changed again and again, and he immediately said, "Father, don't listen to Shen Qingrong's nonsense. If the king of Qi wants to rebel, he may not ......"

"It may not be easy to let the emperor go, but the emperor will be held accountable afterwards. But the emperor can only die together to protect the prince, give up the prince, and have a chance to live. Qingrong directly interrupted the prince's words, looked at the prince, and asked him very sharply: "Does the prince feel that the prince's position is more important, or is the emperor's safety more important?" ”

The emperor didn't say a word, and the suspicion in his eyes became deeper and deeper. Indeed, as Qingrong said, the prince wants to run out first, what is his motive, is it really to ask for reinforcements in person? Or is it that he escaped from here and returned to the capital, and the crown prince could say that King Qi had committed a rebellion and killed the emperor.

As the prince, he inherited the throne and couldn't change his name.

So at this moment, whether it is the emperor or the prince, they must first consider their own safety.

As long as the prince said that he wanted to leave at this moment, it was an impure motive. But under Qingrong's repeated emphasis, the prince was really afraid that the emperor would throw him out for his own interests. After all, there is no need for the emperor to hold on to the end in order to keep his crown prince.

At this time, the emperor and the crown prince fell into a delicate stalemate, suspicious of each other, and no one was willing to compromise.

After a while, the emperor said to the prince with a gloomy face, "You all go out, let me be quiet." ”

The prince wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that he would say too much wrong, so he had to reluctantly get up and go.

Qingrong also returned to his room.

Since Qingrong went with Princess Yongping, Mei Rui has been restless, and now seeing Qingrong coming back, she finally let go and sighed Amitabha.

Qingrong silently entered the house and closed the door, but he didn't dare to say anything to Mei Rui. Only waiting for Mei Rui to serve her to clean up and turn off the lights, she quietly pulled Mei Rui, and whispered without saying a word: "You remember, once there is chaos in the past two days, you will find an opportunity to go to the people who have been planted by the county lord of Huatang to find a way to go to Liaozhou to deliver the letter, the capital is in chaos, and Princess Yongping is reversed." ”

Mei Rui's expression was shocked when she heard this, and she didn't dare to speak loudly, as if she couldn't come back to her senses, and said, "Opposite, reversed?" ”

Qingrong was afraid that the wall would have ears, so he didn't say anything more.

At this moment, almost all the people inside and outside the palace were tossing and turning, and they were all staring at the movements in the palace.

When the sky was white, Qingrong couldn't stand the sleepiness, and closed his eyes and fell asleep. Who knew that he hadn't slept soundly, and suddenly heard noisy footsteps outside.

Qingrong immediately turned over and sat up, and asked Mei Rui, "What is the voice, could it be that the people who are not the king of Qi have broken in?" "But Qingrong felt that it shouldn't be, according to Princess Yongping's current form, she wouldn't let the two soldiers intersect so quickly.

At this time, someone knocked on the door outside and said, "Miss Shen, the emperor invites you to come over." ”

Qingrong knew that there was something very important, so he didn't dare to delay, so he just wiped his face indiscriminately and went to the emperor.

The chamberlain who came to invite him was familiar with Qingrong, and he whispered to Qingrong all the way: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went out with someone in disguise at dawn this morning, and was stopped. ”

Qingrong was a little surprised, she didn't think that the crown prince was the kind of person who couldn't hold his breath, how could he act so rashly, not to mention that there was the crown princess and the strategists of the East Palace by his side.

Qingrong guessed in his heart that this was most likely Princess Yongping's means.

Entering the emperor's bedroom, the crown prince was being escorted to his knees. The emperor looked at the crown prince angrily, and rarely saw that he had already made a fire.

The prince looked depressed and depressed, kneeling on the ground, and had nothing to say.

As soon as the emperor saw Qingrong enter the door, he said: "Since you have seen the king of Qi, now you should go and tell the king of Qi." I promised to abolish the crown prince, make him the crown prince, and let him release the concubine and Yongping quickly. ”

When the prince heard this, he shouted unwillingly: "Father, please think twice." The King of Qi is guilty of rebellion, once the conspiracy succeeds, how can he let you go! I didn't want to leave my father and run away, son, son, just ......"

The emperor's eyes were full of red bloodshots, and he looked at the prince indifferently, and said, "You say one more thing, I will kill you immediately, and let Qingrong take your head to the camp of King Qi!" ”
