Seeing that the old man knelt down, Emperor Liang hurriedly stepped forward to pick him up: "Wu Zhenren, didn't I say that you don't need to salute when you see me!" ”

Wu Zhenren got up, Emperor Liang walked up again, and he followed him in small steps: "Your Majesty has something to ask Poor Dao?" ”

"If you have Lao Zhenren to count, can the third princess make peace with Xiye?"

Wu Zhenren stepped aside, pretending to pinch his fingers and twist the calculation. As Emperor Liang walked, he kept turning his head to look at Wu Zhenren.

But seeing that he shook his head and sighed. Emperor Liang's heart suddenly lifted, and he hurriedly walked to him: "But what's wrong?" ”

Wu Zhenren squinted, stroked his white beard, and said slowly: "If the third princess is reconciled, it can solve the temporary difficulty, but the future trouble is endless." ”

"What?"

"The third princess is destined to be a Quaker, if she marries Xiye far away, it will make Xiye more and more powerful, and it will definitely attack our dynasty."

At this time, Wu Zhenren changed his previous appearance of being afraid of shrinking his heart, his face was solemn, and his words directly suppressed the heat on Emperor Liang's body by half.

Due to the influence of cold food, Emperor Liang's mind was also like paste. He ran out of ideas, and turned his head to look at Pei Qing: "Pei Qing, you say...... How do you think this should be? ”

Pei Qing stood in the slightly dim place of the candle flame, half of his body in the shadows. Hearing this, he smiled and said with pity: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is enough to change to a princess." ”

"Master Palm Print, this method is feasible."

Wu Zhenren hurriedly answered, making Emperor Liang's mind settle down for a while.

"The Western Night Mission is about to enter Beijing, where should I find the new princess?"

"Your Majesty, since there was a mistake in the previous choice made by the concubine Niangniang, the minister thought that the Liu family girl could be chosen, and it should be the concubine Niangniang who had passed the credit."

What Pei Qing said was completely disrespectful, but Emperor Liang obviously didn't care, and even agreed: "What Qing said is very true, just do what you want." ”

Pei Qing arched his hand: "There is Wu Zhenren here, so the minister will retire first." ”

Emperor Liang responded a few times, and then talked to Wu Zhenren about other things.

Pei Qing withdrew from the inner hall and slowly walked towards the outside of Chongming Palace.

Although he knew that what Wu Zhenren said was nonsense, when he thought of Song Qing'an, Pei Qing saw the pair of red butterfly wings in front of him.

Maybe it's really as the old Taoist said, according to him, if Song Qingan really marries the West Night, he is afraid that the West Night Harem will be turned upside down.

The Western Night King, who was confused...... He led his troops to attack, but I don't know.

Thinking of the few pieces of poisoned clothes that were still placed in the East Factory, Pei Qing's heart sank.

The princess has caused a lot of trouble, and what he has done has already exceeded what was agreed at that time.

It's time for something in return......

Pei Qing turned his jade wrench, and suddenly missed the soft touch.

—

In the afternoon of the next day, Emperor Liang summoned Liu Sijin to the palace.

Liu Sijin is the youngest concubine in Liu Xiang's family, but Liu Xiang carefully cultivated Liu Sijin in order to win over the courtiers. He is twenty-eight years old and has a small reputation in Beijing.

When Song Qing'an knew about this, it was already dinner time, and the bamboo smoke was disposing of vegetables while drowning: "I heard that the concubine Niangniang went to Chongming Palace to ask to see Your Majesty, but she was stopped outside and knelt for an hour. When I went back, I almost fell down the stairs. ”

"Can she not be anxious?"

Song Qingan can already imagine Liu Qiyun's mood at that time, the well-cultivated and young sister seems to be going to enter the palace, if she is favored for a while, she is afraid that her sister-in-law will be snubbed by Liu Xiang.

But...... Emperor Liang has been obsessed with seeking immortals all these years, and he is not a person who is in a hurry. It is still a little strange to summon Liu Sijin so suddenly.

Some ideas will take root in the heart as soon as they sprout.

Song Qingan's eyes lit up slightly, could it be ...... Liu Sijin didn't want to enter the palace as a concubine, but ......

Suddenly, there was a thin cat meow outside the window, and Zhu Yan put down his chopsticks as usual and walked to the window.

"How can there be cats in such cold weather?"

Zhuyan complained in his mouth and opened the window to drive away. After a while, she gently closed the window, and when she reached Song Qing'an's side, she handed over the note in her sleeve robe.

Song Qing'an glanced at it, then put the note on the candle lamp and burned it.

The confetti with the spark seeds drifted away, reflected in her pupils, and was clearly extinguished. Zhuyan looked at Song Qing'an's face carefully, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Second Highness, ...... he?"

Thinking of the news on the note, Song Qingan couldn't help but press his temples.

"Brother, he was really blocked." Song Qingxin felt a burst of irritability, he had seen that his brother could return to Beijing, but he was disturbed by Liu Qiyun and Liu Xiang, and he didn't know when to wait.

Zhuyan understood what he was thinking, so he persuaded: "Don't be too anxious, princess, Your Royal Highness will definitely come back." ”

"I know, I'm just worried...... Someone came back earlier than the elder brother. ”

Song Qing'an's eyes darkened, and the calm water gradually became deep and treacherous.

King Xuan.

Since Emperor Liang ascended the throne, King Xuan was driven to the Bashu fiefdom and never returned to Beijing.

But now ...... I'm afraid that someone can't sit still.

I just don't know, what reason did they find for King Xuan?

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do."

During the court discussion, Liu Xiang stood out of the line and said respectfully to the dragon chair.

Emperor Liang's eyes were half-closed, and he looked very cowardly: "Say." ”

"The good period of Shangyuan is approaching, and it is the joy of the canonization of Princess Zhaoding. The minister had the courage to implore His Majesty to issue a decree to let His Royal Highness King Xuan return to Beijing. ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden silence in the main hall. Emperor Liang slowly straightened up and whispered, "What did you say?" ”

"I beg Your Majesty to order His Royal Highness King Xuan to return to Beijing."

Liu Xiang glanced at it and repeated it again.

Pei Qing, who was standing on the side of the dragon chair, couldn't help but glance at Liu Xiang.

This old horseman who is accustomed to seeing the wind and the rudder, is he obsessed with it today?

Sure enough, Emperor Liang laughed angrily, and for a while the ministers in the hall knelt on the ground, and no one dared to raise their heads.

Liu Xiang stood in place as if he stood out from the crowd, poking and poking in place, with a loyal and martyrly appearance.

"Liu Ziming, what benefits did he promise you?"

Emperor Liang was furious, and he actually called out Liu Xiang's name. Liu Xiang's face turned pale, but his attitude was firm.

"Everything is the minister's personal thoughts, and it has nothing to do with His Royal Highness King Xuan."

"The minister thought that the Shangyuan Festival should have been a reunion day. His Royal Highness King Xuan has not returned to Beijing for several years, and it is time to get together, which is also a testimony to the canonization of Princess Zhaoding. ”

Pei Qing raised his eyebrows, and he understood Liu Xiang's thoughts.

Emperor Liang was suspicious by nature, and he did not kill heroes earlier. Among them, there are many loyal ministers who have been killed by mistake, and after so many years, Emperor Liang has become obsessed with the way of seeking immortals, and the things of his early years have become karmic obstacles in his heart.

Although he is still suspicious, he has become partial to the "loyal ministers and direct advice".

Liu Xiang did it deliberately, even though his rhetoric was a little lame, but after all, his attitude was already there.

It depends on Emperor Liang's willingness to accept it.

Pei Qing glanced at Emperor Liang and felt that he was pitiful.

The courtiers calculate, the children hold grudges, and the brothers are against the wall......

The ministers in the audience bowed their heads, but they were all planning in their hearts.

The hall was so quiet that it was frightening, and I don't know how long it had been, Emperor Liang sneered, but said, "Then I'll listen to you." ”

"Pei Qing, pass on my will, immediately summon King Xuan and return to Beijing."

"Yes."

Pei Qing responded in a low voice, and when he looked sideways, he was meeting Liu Xiang's gaze.

Pei Qing snorted and retracted his gaze.

What do they want to do, and what does it have to do with him?

Whoever sits in this position, for Pei Qing, is the same.

As long as Emperor Liang goes, no matter who is the new successor, he will not be spared.

Such an ending was foreseen by Pei Qing as early as when he entered the palace.

He's not expected, he's always been.

Emperor Liang was scolding Liu Xiang on the side, but Liu Xiang's purpose had been achieved, and it was not painful to be reprimanded for a few words and punished him.

Pei Qing lowered his eyes and looked at His Highness expressionlessly, but Song Qing'an's figure appeared in front of him.

In the plum garden that day, she looked up with her head up, her eyes full of affection, and she looked at him like that.

"That'...... I have come to love you. ”

Will anyone love him? Love his mutilated body, the lowly one.

Pei Qing rarely felt a little lost.

Who can tell the difference between true feelings and false feelings.
