Seeing Ning Yi say this, Guo Ping was inevitably a little embarrassed, he peeked at Zhao Yancheng, how could Zhao Yancheng not know the deep meaning of Ning Yi's words, but what was even more strange to him was that Ning Yi was not that kind person, he did this, he must have come to know someone.

But why do people you know break into the inn at night?

One question after another is like a fine net, Zhao Yancheng suddenly felt a little irritable, and suddenly remembered the purpose of this time, the person himself had not seen it, and he had already given birth to many incidents, and he didn't know if he could take the person away safely.

Ning Yi's face was still faint, he couldn't see his joy and anger, the scene was deadlocked, or Guo Ping said: "This Xizhou is not as cool as Kyoto in the West and the capital of the Great Calendar, and the guards are not so strict, it is inevitable that there will be thieves who will take advantage of the situation. ”

Ning Yi bowed his head, Zhao Yancheng couldn't find anything when he saw it, and he also said a few polite words on his face, so he also said goodbye and left.

Ning Yi looked at the mess in the courtyard, and chuckled: "You guys are secretly going to investigate those merchants, if you find traces, you just need to come back and tell me." "Then I went back to my room to rest.

However, after Zhao Yancheng and Guo Ping left the courtyard, both of them had their own concerns, Guo Ping followed Zhao Yancheng all the way to his courtyard, and then asked tentatively: "What do you think of tonight's affairs——"

Zhao Yancheng thought for a while, and said: "This matter, you can't ignore it, but you can't find it clearly, it's eventful, this regent is very scheming, although he also came to Dali to investigate the poisoned food, but after all, he is not a person from my Dali court, and he can't be guarded against." And he doesn't want me to meddle in the affairs of those merchants, I feel uneasy, you arrange a few competent men, and keep an eye on their people. ”

Guo Ping responded again and again, and also got rid of Ning Yi overnight, and several people were sleepless.

And in the Xiliang Palace, there was a person who slept deeply.

Xiliang Palace, in Yikun Palace, because the little emperor Ning Hong interceded for Jiang Li'er, he wanted to relieve Jiang Li'er's grounding, but for some reason, he angered the Queen Mother Xi.

Ruyi whispered: "Jiang An heard that the Empress Dowager Xi broke a pair of luminous cups, and after scolding the emperor fiercely, she actually asked the people around her to drive the emperor out of Yikun Palace. ”

He Xi stopped the small clothes embroidered with a small half of the unicorn boy in his hand, frowned and said: "Why did she lose such a big temper, I once heard Ning Yi say that since Ning Hong took power, the Empress Dowager Xi has helped him establish his authority everywhere." It is precisely because of this that even if he is young, whether it is in the harem or in the court, no one dares to despise him. Didn't the Empress Dowager slap herself in the face this time? ”

Although Ruyi didn't know the reason for this, he also felt strange, so he said: "Jiang An said, the Queen Mother is a little strange these days——"

He Xi's heart flashed like lightning, and he suddenly said, "Strange? Where is it strange? ”

Ruyi said: "It seems that the Queen Mother has been particularly easy to get angry recently, several times, just because the subordinate made a little mistake, she was furious, and even once, a little palace maid was a little hot because of the tea handed over, and the Queen Mother of the West actually ordered to beat people to death." ”

He Xi frowned, although this Queen Mother of the West is strong, she is not a violent person, how could she suddenly become like this?

She raised her hand and said, "Let's go, Ruyi, the Queen Mother's illness has not healed, we should go and take a look-"

Ruyi said with some hesitation: "Miss, this Queen Mother of the West is not good to you, if she uses the topic to play, you-"

He Xi shook his head slightly and said, "No, as long as Ning Yi is outside and in the palace for a day, we will be safe." ”

At this time, the night has gradually dimmed, but this Hanyue Tower is some distance from the Yikun Palace of the Queen Mother of the West, Jiang An prepared a soft sedan chair very intimately, and carried He Xi in the direction of Yikun Palace.

All the way quietly, Yikun Palace in the palaces show a bright brilliance, quite a bit of the momentum of the stars and the moon, but also seem a little lonely, these servants are extremely fast, less than half an hour of effort, the soft sedan has stopped in front of the door of Yikun Palace.

The little eunuch guarding the door was stunned at first when he saw that it was He Xi, and then said respectfully: "The slave greets Miss Mu—"

He Xi bowed his head, looked at the silent Yikun Palace and said: "No courtesy, I am just worried about the illness of the Queen Mother, I don't know if it is convenient for the Queen Mother to do this?" ”

The little eunuch looked at He Xi up and down, left and right for a long time, Xu didn't understand, the Empress Dowager Xi didn't like this Miss Mu, almost everyone in the palace knew about it, but this Miss Mu, instead of hiding far away, came up by herself.

He Xi just had a just right smile on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't urge him, letting him look at himself.

The waiter suddenly remembered something, leaned closer, took a step closer, and whispered: "Miss Mu, don't blame the slave for talking too much, the Queen Mother has been in a bad mood in recent days, Miss is still pregnant, if there is anything, it will also make the prince who is far away worry about it, if Miss believes in the small, you go back first, if there is a summons from the Queen Mother, it will not be too late to come again——"

He Xi took a half step back and said with a smile: "As a junior, it is already disrespectful to not be able to serve by the side of the Queen Mother, if you can't even do the most basic visits, you will be known by the prince, and you will also reprimand me for not knowing etiquette." ”

Her smile was decent and indifferent, and the waiter saw He Xi's insistence, and he didn't want to go in and touch the queen mother's mold, you must know that the queen mother was even driven out of the palace today.

Just as he hesitated, the old princess came out of the Yikun Palace, He Xi squinted her eyes, the woman in front of her was really not simple, the Queen Mother of the West from the beginning of the dissatisfaction to the guard, and then to the final introduction of confidant, it was only less than half a month.

The waiter seemed to have seen a life-saving straw, and hurriedly said: "Old princess, you can be regarded as coming out, the queen mother, she-"

The old princess had a kind face and said with a smile: "It's much better, but I'm angry today, I'm a little tired, I've rested, I'll come to talk to her tomorrow-"

After speaking, he looked at He Xi and smiled: "What? Miss Mu came to see the Queen Mother? ”

He Xi bowed his head and said, "Yes, I don't know how the Queen Mother is sick?" ”

The smile on the old princess's face was as warm as the spring breeze in March, which made people unconsciously feel a little good, but He Xi knew that the more such people, the more they should not be taken lightly, such as Ning Yi, such as Tuoba - Tuoba Yue -

He Xi didn't know why he suddenly remembered him, and tried his best to get the figure of that person out of his mind, but he didn't know if the child in his womb reacted, and he kicked He Xi gently.

He Xi screamed suddenly, since He Xi was caught in the Gu, Ruyi had been worried all day long, seeing He Xi like this, he hurriedly stepped forward to support He Xi and asked, "Miss-what's wrong with you?" But what's uncomfortable? ”

He Xi took a few deep breaths, and after steadying his breathing, he patted Ruyi's hand as if he was reassuring, indicating that he was fine, but the old princess said with great concern: "How is it?" You kid, why are you so careless? ”

As he spoke, he pulled He Xi aside, like an elder to a junior, and taught earnestly: "Your month is getting older and older, I have a feeling that Your Majesty wants to protect you, otherwise with the temper of the Queen Mother, how could you be allowed to be arranged in Hanyue Tower, it seems that Your Majesty also believes in the Regent, right?" ”

He Xi just pretended not to understand the deep meaning of the old princess's words, and said suspiciously: "Does Your Majesty also believe in the prince?" Does that mean that the prince has the support of His Majesty and will definitely return to Beijing safely? ”

The old princess was stunned, obviously she didn't expect He Xi to ask herself like this, and she didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so she just smiled and said: "Alas, I'm a woman in the deep palace, trapped in this deep palace like you, how do you know this, I thought Your Majesty would appease you and tell you something——"

She paused, and then added, "Didn't Your Majesty really say anything to you?" ”

He Xi frowned, obviously reminiscing, and said deflatedly after a while: "No, since the side hall went to the water that day and His Majesty came to visit, I have never seen His Majesty in person, let alone have anything to say to me." ”

The old princess lowered her eyebrows, hid all her calculations in the dark light, and finally said: "It's okay, today Your Majesty just helped Li'er say a few words, which made the Queen Mother dislike, and even reprimanded her fiercely in front of so many people, if you know that Your Majesty is secretly helping you and the regent, I am afraid that I will be even more displeased." ”

He Xi remained silent, and did not answer the old princess's words: "If this is really the case, I am also much relieved." I don't know how the county lord and the little prince have gotten along recently? ”

When Jiang Li'er was mentioned, the smile on the old princess's face became more and more intense, and she said with relief: "Yu'er's child has been here, saying that the two are still in love, and the county lord is not as reluctant to accept this marriage as before." ”

Saying that, she took He Xi's hand and said: "Last time you told me that you could persuade the county lord, I didn't believe it, but now I believe most of it, this time I want to thank you, if Prince Kang's Mansion can get out this time, I owe you a favor——"

He Xi quietly withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "Let's just take what we need, but the old princess doesn't have to care too much." ”

He Xi saw that the lights were turned off inside and outside the Yikun Palace, and knew that he would not be able to see the Empress Dowager Xi today no matter what, so he went back to Hanyue Tower under the pretext of being tired.

The old princess looked concerned, until He Xi's soft sedan disappeared from her sight, the smile on her face disappeared, replaced by a gloomy and fierce eyes, she said, "Yu'er has already gone back?" ”

The people serving around him seemed to have long been accustomed to the old princess judging the two of them like this, and said respectfully: "The little prince has gone back half an hour ago, and I think I am waiting for you now." ”

The old princess nodded, turned and went to her own courtyard, and her figure gradually disappeared into the thick night, not knowing whether it was the darkness that swallowed her, or whether she had come out of the darkness in the first place.
