Prince Rong was finally brought back to the capital by Xia Yichen.

After returning to Beijing, the first thing Xia Yichen did was to order someone to kill all the detained officials in Xiliang, and drive the envoys of Xiliang and Beiyan who lived in the National Post House out of the capital.

This is clearly a declaration of war against the small neighboring countries.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

The ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee wrote one after another stating that the consequences of this incident were not trivial, and the folds of exhortation were piled up half a person high.

But Xia Yichen was determined to go his own way.

And let the head of the household department check the treasury, prepare military spending, and be ready to go to war at any time.

For a while, a gloomy atmosphere filled the capital.

On this day, Qin Guifei sent someone to Fengqi Palace to invite Mu Huayin to her palace for a talk.

After all, she is still grounded, and it is difficult to travel.

Mu Huayin thought about it, she really should go to visit Qin Guifei, so she asked Rue Xiang to call two eunuchs and go to Yonghe Palace with her.

In the weather at the beginning of April, after a night of spring breeze, the pear blossom trees under the wall of Yonghe Palace have bloomed white and delicate flowers, spreading a thin layer on the ground, looking like snow from a distance.

Qin Guifei had already asked people to boil the water, brew the fragrant spring tea, and wait for the arrival of Mu Huayin.

As soon as Mu Huayin stepped into the hall, she took Qin Guifei's little hand and praised, "I haven't seen you for a few days, my sister's complexion is getting better and better." ”

Concubine Qin welcomed her into the hall and sat down, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I would like to thank my sister for her mention that day." ”

"It's a little thing."

Mu Huayin said as her eyes began to look around the room.

"My sister invited my sister to come here today to discuss something."

Qin Guifei said, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and then continued, "Presumably my sister also knows that the emperor intends to attack the countries of Xiliang. ”

Mu Huayin nodded, "I've heard a little." ”

"Does that sister know that now everyone in the court is in danger, and they are afraid of having something to do with it?"

"My sister is so favored now, if my sister mentions the name of General Dingxi before going to the emperor, then Concubine Cheng's life will not be so good......"

After speaking, the corners of Qin Guifei's mouth were slightly hooked.

Cheng Songxue's own father is a general in Dingxi, but for many years, he has relied on his own military power to support himself - he deliberately did not completely pacify the border rogues, so that the emperor has always relied on him.

Qin Zuoxiang has long been unaccustomed to him, taking advantage of the emperor's intention to send troops this time, if he can throw this hot potato into his hands, it will naturally be the best.

But she didn't want to, Mu Huayin shook her head and decisively rejected her, "Guifei, as a harem concubine, we should not interfere too much in political affairs." ”

It's much more comfortable to go fishing and enjoy flowers than to worry about political affairs.

Qin Guifei was stunned for a moment, "It's not that my sister said that she wanted to deal with Cheng Guifei......"

"Huh? When did I say that? ”

Mu Huayin looked dazed.

Qin Guifei's face changed, "That day, my sister said in the Imperial Garden that she couldn't let Cheng Guifei take the throne......"

Mu Huayin felt that Qin Guifei was afraid that she had some misunderstanding.

"Goose, I didn't mean that......" Mu Huayin scratched her head, "Since you're all right, sister, then I'll go back first." ”

Qin Guifei still wanted to say something, but saw that Mu Huayin had already gotten up.

She took a few steps, then suddenly turned back again.

"Sister, I have a reluctant request...... Can you give me back the jewelry I gave you before I left the palace last time......"

Qin Guifei's breath stagnated.
