"Miss Song, you have to hurry up." Concubine Wan's voice came from behind Song Qingzhi.

"Miss, where have you gone, I can't find you anywhere, I'm really anxious." When I returned to my place where I lived, Nuanqin greeted me.

"What is there to worry about, this is the palace and no one will harm me." Song Qingzhi smiled and walked into the house.

"Didn't you say Miss, you said that we have to be careful in everything, how can we run around by ourselves." Nuan Qin followed Song Qingzhi into the house.

"Nuanqin, Concubine Wan just found me. I'm afraid that we will meet again in the near future, and when the time comes, you will stay and cover for me, and you must not let others know that I am going to see Concubine Wan. Song Qingzhi looked at Nuan Qin and ordered, this huge palace is full of eyes and ears, and Song Qingzhi must not take it lightly.

"Well, I got it, Miss. But what is Concubine Wan looking for Miss? Nuan Qin nodded.

"Don't ask about this, lest you accidentally say it when you get it." Song Qingzhi didn't say it.

Song Qingzhi was still skeptical about today's events, Concubine Wan was so eager to find out why she was, and there were still too many loopholes in her words today that could not be explained. Concubine Wan has been very favored by the emperor since she entered the palace, although she was not the first person to accompany the emperor, but she was the fastest promoted, and she was named a concubine within a few years of entering the palace and even had no heirs. Therefore, the concubines in the six palaces have some opinions about Concubine Wan.

Concubine Jing and Concubine Wan have always been-for-tat, and now Concubine Wan actually allowed herself to send her biological father's life to the hands of the enemy's son, is this really trying to save her father? Moreover, the emperor only temporarily detained the governor, and did not do anything, but said that he would wait for the bandits to surrender before making a decision. If you are a concubine, you can wait with peace of mind now, anyway, it is all done by the mountain bandits at this time, except for the mountain bandits, the governor is naturally fine. Why bother looking for a solution now?

And why did the emperor lock up the governor and the local magistrate, it's strange to think about it. Song Qingzhi now feels that she has thought about this matter simply, and originally thought that it was just a power struggle between princes, but now it seems that this is not the case.

I'm afraid that the emperor insists on letting himself live in the palace, and he also wants to regard himself as a chess piece to test the hearts of the people in the palace, and every choice he makes now is extremely dangerous, as long as he is not careful, not only can he not find out the truth, avenge his family, but also put his own life into it.

Now that Concubine Wan has found herself, I'm afraid that she will have to agree if she wants to or not, and it seems that no one can be left alone. Song Qingzhi thought about it all night and didn't come up with a good countermeasure, how could she let Duanwang take over this hot potato.

Two days later, Song Qingzhi and Concubine Wan met in the peach forest, "Miss Song came to the palace this time, but you have thought about it?" Concubine Wan looked at Song Qingzhi, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, revealing the posture of a winner. She knew that Song Qingzhi would definitely agree, but she was a brainless lady, and it was more than enough to control Song Qingzhi.

"Yes, Niang Niang knows that the reward I am proposing is really not able to turn a blind eye. But Niangniang, although Qing Zhi agreed, it depends on the will of God whether it can be achieved in the end. His Royal Highness King Duan is different from me, Qing Zhi is short-sighted and thinks less, and can only think of what is needed in front of him, but His Royal Highness Duan Wang is different, if His Royal Highness is unwilling to agree, Qing Zhi will have no choice. Song Qingzhi's posture was humble, but her tone was not half cowardly.

"As long as you want to avenge your loved ones, then you can definitely do it." Concubine Wan looked at Song Qingzhi with a smile on her face, but Song Qingzhi didn't feel a trace of warmth.

"Niangniang can't tell what happened outside the palace, so how can Niangniang conclude that my father and brother died in a conspiracy?" Song Qingzhi raised her head and looked directly into Concubine Wan's eyes and asked.

Concubine Wan was stunned for a moment, she didn't think that Song Qingzhi would ask her like this, "Although the palace body in the palace knows very little about the outside things, there are some things that can be detected even if they are not detailed. Doesn't Miss Song also have the same feeling as this palace, otherwise why would Miss want to find out the truth and avenge her father and brother. ”

"Qing Zhi will take the things that Niang Niang tells to heart, and once there is news, Qing Zhi will come to inform Niang Niang." Song Qingzhi didn't respond to Concubine Wan's answer, she just wanted to test Concubine Wan to see how she would react, and quickly ended the conversation and left the peach forest to return to her residence. She can't leave for too long, otherwise Tinghe will be suspicious, and it will not end well if it reaches Concubine Jing at this time.

"Miss, you're back, why didn't Concubine Wan embarrass Miss?" Nuan Qin didn't worry about Song Qingzhi, so she kept staying in the yard, on the one hand, to block the house and not let people know that Song Qingzhi was not there, and on the other hand, she could see Song Qingzhi as soon as she came back.

"Let's go in and talk." Song Qingzhi looked around and entered the room with a warm piano.

"No one noticed me out just now, did they?" Song Qingzhi asked.

"No," Nuan Qin shook her head.

"Concubine Wan asked me to help save her father, I agreed, although I am not sure, but I still have to try, maybe Concubine Wan's father knows the truth about my father's tragic death." Song Qingzhi told Nuan Qin about the matter.

"Miss, how are you going to save Concubine Wan's father?" Nuan Qin asked with a frown.

"Concubine Wan's father was the governor who left with her father that day, and they were all involved in that day's events. Concubine Wan said that as long as I helped her rescue her father, she would ask the governor to tell me the truth of the matter. Song Qingzhi spoke.

"I see, but what is the young lady going to do?" Nuan Qin asked.

"Is there any news about the soldiers sent by the emperor to suppress bandits?" Song Qingzhi looked at Nuan Qin and asked.

"I've been keeping an eye on it, but now that we're in the palace, the people in the palace don't want to reveal too much to me. I only know which soldiers have not yet returned, and I don't know the others. Nuan Qin thought for a while and said. If Miss wants to know, I'll ask again. ”

"No, let's not bother about this matter lately, just stay in this courtyard with peace of mind. I think someone will come and tell us when they come back. Song Qingzhi stopped Nuan Qin.

In the next few days, Song Qingzhi was idle, until one morning Rongyue brought a plate of peach blossom cake again. "What is the mother looking for me?" Song Qingzhi looked at Rong Yue and asked.

"Miss still go and see for herself, the slave maid just sent a message and didn't know anything else." Rongyue lowered her head and replied.

"I see." Song Qingzhi nodded, told Nuan Qin to stay and went to the peach forest.

"What do you have to tell Niangniang to find Qing Zhilai?" When Song Qingzhi arrived at the peach forest, she saw Concubine Wan waiting.

"This palace is looking for you to take a look at the peach blossoms, the first few times they were in a hurry, and now the flowers are about to start withering. If you don't take a good look at it, I'm afraid that the next time Miss comes back, she won't be able to see such a lively peach blossom. Miss Song, it's time to start the matter of promising this palace. Concubine Wan didn't look back at Song Qingzhi, just stood among the flowers and spoke.

Song Qingzhi also didn't step forward, standing in place and looking up at the flowers on the tree. The flowers have already begun to thank, and as soon as the wind blows, the petals will fall freely, and things should have a result.

"What Niangniang said Qing Zhi understands, although the flower season is coming, it will not wither so quickly. Qing Zhi didn't delay Niangniang's Yaxing, and Qing Zhi retired first. Song Qingzhi withdrew her gaze from the petals.

Listening to Concubine Wan's meaning, it seems that the soldiers who suppressed the bandits have returned, and they should start planning. Song Qingzhi hurriedly returned to her residence, pretending not to know anything.

When it was almost noon, King Duan came.

"Why is the prince here?" Song Qingzhi rarely smiled when she saw Nangong Ye.

"Of course I want to come to see you, I don't want to bother you from time to time when you were in a bad mood a few days ago, but recently I heard from my mother that you are in a much better mood, so I came to see you. But we haven't seen you and me for half a month, and we have a lot of differences, so it's good to call me the prince like before. Nangong Ye sat beside Song Qingzhi and spoke considerately.

"This is a lot of people in the palace, I can't ruin your reputation, although we are married again, but the people in the palace are all adding fuel and vinegar to their words, it is better to be careful." Song Qingzhi smiled, in the past, she only called Nangong Ye her brother in private, but now she can't say anything about being so close.

"What are you afraid of. By the way, I have good news for you today. The general who suppressed the bandits had returned triumphantly, and the group of mountain bandits had been wiped out, and the leader of the mountain bandits was escorted back to wait for the autumn queen to be beheaded. Nangong Ye said with a smile.

"Really?" Song Qingzhi pretended to be surprised.

"Naturally, it's true, I was going to kill him immediately, but some things still require evidence, so I temporarily detain him." Nangong Ye spoke.

"What do you want to ask the bandits?" Song Qingzhi looked at Nangong Ye and asked.

"This mountain bandit is really not simple, I am afraid that it is only in collusion with officials that I dare to be so blatant, and my father intends to find out about this matter." Nangong Ye didn't seem to have anything to hide from Song Qingzhi.

"Collusion with officials! I didn't expect this mountain bandit to have such a ability, so who is responsible for this case? Song Qingzhi looked at Nangong Ye and asked.

"It's not decided yet, but my father attaches great importance to it and wants to hand it over to a prestigious lord in the court, what's the matter, how do you care about this? You can rest assured that no matter who it is handed over, this mountain bandit will definitely be beheaded for public display. Nangong Ye spoke.

"I'm not worried about this, Qing Zhi has something I want to ask the prince to hope that the prince can agree to Qing Zhi." Song Qingzhi suddenly got up and knelt in front of Nangong Ye.

"Zhi'er, what are you doing, where do you still want to ask for so much between you and me, just say what you want me to do, as long as I do it, I will definitely promise you." Nangong Ye seemed to be startled, and hurriedly helped Song Qingzhi up.

Qing Zhi wanted the prince to try this case, and Qing Zhi had always been suspicious of her father's death. But I can't do anything, so Qing Zhi wants the prince to help me, if the prince comes to try this case, can Qing Zhi meet the two adults who sent the corpse back again, Qing Zhi still has something to ask them clearly, otherwise Qing Zhi will not be able to sleep well. Song Qingzhi pleaded.
