Chapter 268: That Day Is Not Far Away
ο»Ώο»Ώο»Ώ
Hua Xiyan and Ning Xi walked side by side towards the outside of the palace. Ning Xi turned his head and saw that Hua Xiyan's face was not very good-looking, and couldn't help laughing: "I always thought that except for that person, nothing can make you change color." β
"The five princes thought I was too cold-blooded." Hua Xiyan replied without being salty.
Ning Xi was noncommittal: "Do you know what the queen called you over for today?" β
"After all, you have to negotiate some terms with me." Hua Xiyan replied while thinking about it, "Otherwise, she wouldn't have arrested Wang Qingyu for no reason, would she?" β
"It's really a woman in the palace...... "Ning Xuan sighed.
Everyone can see that what Hua Xiyan cares about most is Yun Qi, but Empress Li definitely can't play any tricks in front of Yun Qi. The second in Huaxi Yan's heart is the Wang family, so Empress Li turned her attention to the only grandson of the Wang family.
Hua Xiyan was very sad, originally she thought that with Princess Roujia as a threat, Empress Li would definitely not act rashly, but she never thought that Empress Li was so cold and cold that she even ignored the life and death of her own daughter.
So Hua Xiyan had to think about whether his wishful thinking was wrong?
"Don't worry, Wang Qingyu will be fine." Ning Xi saw Hua Xiyan's thoughts in her heart, and said with relief, "The Li family has lost power one after another recently, and the Xie family of their faction is like an abyss, so she definitely has no time to break ground on the head of the Wang family." β
"Having said that, but the children of the second sister-in-law, I have to get them back after all." Hua Xiyan said, his steps a little faster.
β¦β¦ In fact, Hua Xiyan didn't know why Princess Changning was so clingy to herself, that time in the Imperial Garden was the first time the two of them met, since that time, every time Princess Changning cried, but when she saw Hua Xiyan, she would immediately stop.
As it is now.
Princess Changning opened a pair of red eyes and leaned closely to Hua Xiyan's side, and the pearl tassel on her head swayed slightly as the carriage went, revealing all the expressions in her bright eyes.
"Sister Hua......" Princess Changning opened her mouth with some uneasiness, looking at Hua Xiyan's somewhat gloomy face, she swallowed her saliva, "Are you in a bad mood?" Is Chang Ning annoying you? β
Hua Xiyan looked at Chang Ning sideways, taking in the uneasiness and fear in her eyes, and with the ripples of the water, she had no doubt that as long as she nodded, she would immediately cry.
Thinking of Concubine Lu Hui, the woman who was willing to save the entire family with her own life, it would be false to say that Hua Xiyan did not have a little admiration. Coupled with Princess Changning's indisputable temperament, she is like a white lotus in the quagmire of the deep palace, pure and clear, clear and clear like glass.
"No, the princess is fine." Hua Xiyan showed a chuckle and stroked Princess Changning's bun.
Princess Changning was only two years younger than her, and she looked too old in comparison.
Hua Xiyan leaned on the carriage and closed his eyes slightly, seemingly in his eyes, his brain was running rapidly, thinking about today's things.
What is Empress Li calling herself for?
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, and Hua Xiyan almost got off the carriage, and felt that extremely heavy atmosphere, enveloping the entire mansion.
Princess Chang Ning obviously felt it too, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when she looked around, and pulled Concubine Xiao Wan's arm tightly.
The group went straight to Wang Huan's courtyard, and later saw that the small courtyard was now bustling and crowded with people.
"Second sister!" Wang Qi saw a group of people coming in and shouted at Hua Xiyan.
Hua Xiyan has not seen Wang Qi for a long time, and now he has no effort to be polite, so he directly enters the topic: "How is the situation of the second sister-in-law?" β
Wang Qi shook his head, and there was a sad look in his eyebrows: "Miscarriage and hemorrhage, I'm afraid the situation is not good......
Concubine Xiao Wan on the side couldn't help but whisper "ah" when she heard this, and immediately walked towards the room where the door was closed: "Go and have a look in this palace!" β
"Mother, no!" A group of people who were waiting with them hurriedly shouted to stop them, shouting bad luck.
"Ridiculous! Inside, that's Hongu's sister! Concubine Xiao Wan snorted lightly, and her footsteps did not stop.
"Whoever stands in the way of this palace will be guilty of a capital offense!" Concubine Xiao Wan finally spit out two words, and pushed the door without hesitation and walked in.
Hua Xiyan frowned, looked at Wang Yan and Lu Yuan, who were also full of sadness, and said in a low voice: "Big brother and sister-in-law don't have to worry about Yu'er's safety. β
Hearing this, Lu Yuan immediately stopped sobbing, stood up suddenly, and asked in a dumb voice, "Does the second sister know where Yu'er is?" β
Hua Xiyan nodded, and Mrs. Wang on the side immediately ran over with tears in her eyes: "Where is Yu'er?" Why didn't I come back with you? Is something wrong? β
A few questions were thrown out in a row, which showed the worry in Mrs. Wang's heart, Hua Xiyan hurriedly spoke: "Don't worry about aunt, Yu'er is fine." β
After that, he told a few people what had just happened in Luohuang Palace.
Several people were shocked when they heard this, and everyone knew that Empress Li had held Yu'er and Huaxiyan hostage to talk about the conditions, and what they wanted to talk about was definitely not a trivial matter.
In fact, Hua Xiyan could faintly feel what Empress Li was going to say to herself, but under the premise of not being sure, she decided not to say anything first, just said to a few people: "Don't worry, Yu'er will be fine in a short time, I will find a way to rescue Yu'er." β
Hua Xiyan's words were often with convincing strength, and knowing Wang Qingyu's basic whereabouts, Lu Yuan's heart also relaxed slightly.
After whispering a few words of relief, Hua Xiyan looked at the person under the eaves who had been staring at him since he came in.
Hua Xiyan walked over, bowed slightly, and said, "Thank you." β
Now that Ziquan is here, the life of the second sister-in-law should be fine.
"It's a matter of duty." Yun Qi brought the white jade wrench that he had been playing with in his hand to his thumb again, looking at Hua Xiyan's slightly messy green silk, a sharp light flashed in his phoenix eyes, "Did you do it?" β
"It's just a comparison." Hua Xiyan replied in two by two.
"The Xie family's weapons were made for Ning Xuan." Yun Qi suddenly spoke, then took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Hua Xiyan, "I got it by chance after the Prince's Mansion went to the water before." β
Hua Xiyan took it and took a closer look, it was a message from the Xie family to Empress Li, saying that this batch of weapons had been manufactured, and the Li family sent someone to hand it over.
And the place where the letter was signed happened to be burned.
"It is estimated that this letter was written by Xie Zheng, who entered Beijing this time." Yun Qi looked at the somewhat yellowed paper and said his guess.
"It's not Xie Zheng." Hua Xiyan shook his head, "It's Xie Ji." β
Xie Ji? Yun Qi raised his eyebrows, thinking of the group of secret guards he met Xie Ji on the way back to Beijing, and felt that it was not impossible.
Huaxi Yan is not a guess, it is a certainty. Feng Tao had already told him that the Xie family had found this batch of weapons, which was exactly the same as the weapon manufacturing method that Xie Ji had intended to use to blame her in Jinju before, and it was obviously the same batch.
"The Xie family can do this kind of thing for the Li family, once it is discovered, it will fall into a situation from which it will never recover, do you know what it is?" Hua Xiyan returned the letterhead to Yun Qi and asked naturally.
Her white fingertips were clearer against the yellowed letterhead, and the tiny crusts of her fingers were a faint pinkβa very warm color.
"Xu is related to the decline of the Xie family. When Shengtian founded the country, the top ten families did not have a Qinghe Cui clan, and they were replaced by Fan Yang Lu, a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty. In the hundred years of development, some of the other families are in the ascendant, and some are gradually declining, Chenjun Xie is one of them, and there are even rumors now, if it were not for the fact that there was a Concubine Xie Zhuang in the palace, I am afraid that it would have been replaced by someone long ago. β
Speaking of this, Yun Qi suddenly paused, looking at Hua Xiyan's gaze flashing: "Do you know that if a family wants to consolidate its own strength, what is the best way?" β
Hua Xiyan said without thinking: "Marriage." β
Yun Qi nodded: "Just like this, since the Xie family has taken refuge in the Li family, it is inevitable that they will marry." The daughter of the Xie family married into the Li family, just like the current Concubine Xie Zhuang, and continued to maintain the influence of the Xie family. β
Hua Xi was clear, so in this way, the Xie family had to ensure that Ning Xuan could ascend to that position.
"Didn't the Xie family leave a back hand in the first place?"
"It must have been left behind." Yun Qi leaned against the red-painted pillar behind him, holding his head up slightly, "It's just this back hand, I haven't thought of it for the time being." β
Hua Xiyan pouted and didn't say much.
The two were silent for a moment, and Yun Qi suddenly burst out with a sentence: "Huaxiyan, leave that day...... It's not far away......"
Hua Xiyan's eyebrows jumped, and he understood Yun Qi's meaning in seconds.
"Do you think Empress Li will expose my identity to dilute the matter of the Xie family?"
"What do you think?" Yun Qi asked rhetorically, "Your matter at the beginning can be described as the most sensational thing in the Sacred Heaven in a hundred years, if such a thing is set off again, it will inevitably not cause any uproar again." Even...... The world is in chaos! β
The world is in chaos...... Hua Xiyan chuckled, thinking if she should feel honored?
"No matter what, I'll be with you." Yun Qi looked at Hua Xiyan and said it very sincerely.
"Thank you." Hua Xiyan nodded again in thanks.
"I've sent a message to Master Tongyi to Beijing." Yun Qi opened his mouth and said, "After all, if you want to go over old accounts, the person who has the most authority to deal with that national teacher is Master Tongyi." β
"The Black Phoenix Star that collided with the emperor first suddenly became the Phoenix Star that saved the dawn of the world, this kind of change is not acceptable to ordinary people." Hua Xiyan sneered, I don't know who he was sarcastic.
"More than ten years have passed, and it's time for the fake phoenix star to give way." Yun Qi continued, "The pearl is covered in dust and fallen into the world, how do you know that the golden phoenix is out of the world." β
The sunlight shone on the soft-spoken duo, gilding them with a faint golden light. The atmosphere is harmonious, quiet and beautiful. It seems that all misunderstandings and estrangements have never appeared between these two people.
The two of them are a world of their own, as if there is an enchantment that separates everything from the outside, and no one can blend in.
The door squeaked open, and Ziquan, who looked a little tired, walked out, looked at the people with worried faces, and spit out four words like heavenly sounds: "Life is fine." β
