Chapter 41: Song Qinglan
When Qinzhou Concert Newspaper arrived in the capital, it also happened to be the day Song Qinglan entered Beijing.
The eight-hundred-mile urgent report woke up the entire court like a thunderbolt.
Liu Xiang's face was a little ugly, listening to the meaning of the report, it was clear that Song Qinghuai had made a great contribution. If he is asked to do something again, Emperor Liang will not be able to summon him back to Kyoto.
Emperor Su Riliang was groggy in the previous dynasty, and he also came to some energy on this day, and asked, "What is the situation in Qinzhou now?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, Governor Qiu and His Second Highness are still recuperating from their injuries, and Xiye has always sent people to ask for peace and restitution."
"Then who is going to negotiate peace......
Emperor Liang muttered, and Jiang Taishi came out with a wat: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he can send His Royal Highness to go." ”
"Nada and the general were captured by His Royal Highness, so it is most appropriate for him to talk to the West Night."
"The Taishi's words are wrong." Liu Xiang also said, "Although His Royal Highness has made great contributions, he is still young, and it may be difficult for him to take on this position." The people of the West Night are cunning, if the Second Highness is deceived and damages the interests of the Great Liang, then who should be blamed? ”
Jiang Taishi turned to Liu Xiang, his face was cold: "Who does the prime minister think he can send?" ”
"Naturally, it's the governor of Qinzhou." Liu Xiang looked at Emperor Liang and said respectfully, "Governor Qiu has been in Qinzhou for more than ten years, and he knows the Western Night. It would be safer for him to go. ”
"Did the prime minister listen carefully to the report?" Jiang Taishi smiled and didn't smile, "Governor Qiu said that the strategy of retreating from the enemy came from His Second Highness. How can someone who is even sure of Governor Qiu not come forward to negotiate peace? ”
"How can the things of the battlefield be the same!"
Liu Xiang snorted coldly, his tone was cold and hard, and he did not back down.
"That's enough."
Emperor Liang's voice was not loud, but the two who were competing with each other instantly fell silent.
Since King Xuan entered Beijing, Emperor Liang has seen Liu Xiang a lot of unpleasant; What's more, there has been something about Liu Qiyun recently, and he was even more upset when he heard Liu Xiang speak.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Since that person has been captured by Qinghuai, let him come forward to talk to Xiye." ”
"Your Majesty......"
"Be sure to convey my meaning, and you must frustrate the spirit of the West Night!"
Without waiting for Liu Xiang to continue arguing, Emperor Liang added, and the final word was made.
Pei Qing stood aside and whispered to Emperor Liang: "Your Majesty, the Western Night Mission should still be in the Great Liang. ”
Emperor Liang frowned: "So what? ”
"Your Majesty, isn't the Western Night Mission the people of the Western Night?" Pei Qing hooked his lips: "We know best how many people there are in the mission." In that case, why not ask the West Night to allow the mission to negotiate peace with His Royal Highness? ”
When Emperor Liang heard this, his cloudy eyes also lit up.
"Exactly!"
With a wave of his hand, he gave two orders.
The first article ordered Song Qinghuai to negotiate peace with Xiye.
Article 2 is to negotiate peace with the mission, otherwise they will not be released.
Emperor Liang originally wanted to issue a third article to summon Song Qinghuai back to Beijing, but Liu Xiang said that the Qinzhou matter had not yet been resolved, and he would wait for the dust to settle before mentioning it.
Although Emperor Liang didn't want to see Liu Xiang, he also felt that there was some truth in this, so he didn't mention it again.
The court discussion was dispersed, and in the past, Jiang Taishi was always pressed by Liu Xiang, but now he is raising his eyebrows. When passing by Liu Xiang's side, Jiang Taishi snorted provocatively.
Liu Xiang stared at Jiang Taishi's back and flicked his sleeves with hatred.

"Princess Ning and I-"
With the sound of paging, the mighty guard of honor stopped outside the Changle Palace. Song Qinglan got up and bowed, her delicate face seemed calm, but her hurried steps still revealed her true thoughts.
She originally went to Chongming Palace first, but Emperor Liang was probably annoyed that she didn't see her because of her action of cutting first and then playing. Song Qinglan didn't wait long outside Chongming Palace, so he went back to Changle Palace directly.
What happened in the palace before, she had heard about it along the way. Song Qinglan didn't even think about it, and knew that there should be Concubine Chen's handwriting.
"Mother!" Song Qinglan hurriedly walked into the court, and when he saw Liu Qiyun waiting, he couldn't help but exhale. Then she took a deep breath, lifted the hem of her skirt and knelt on the ground, bowed respectfully, and the attendant who followed behind her knelt down.
"Qinglan meets Niangniang."
Song Qinglan hung his head, and the tip of his nose was sour.
"Hurry up." Liu Qiyun was distressed, and hurriedly helped Song Qinglan up from the ground, she looked at Song Qinglan's face carefully, "Lan'er has lost weight, but she was wronged in Linzhou?" ”
"No, Zihuai treats me very well. Xu is running all the way, and it is inevitable to reduce it. ”
Zihuai is the word for the horse Xie Hechen, and Xie Hechen is still in Linzhou.
Song Qinglan whispered comfort to his mother and entered the hall with her, and the attendants waited outside the hall.
Liu Qiyun retired from the palace, leaving only Fuxia to serve. She took Song Qinglan's hand and sat on the couch, and said worriedly: "Why did you come here so ignorant, fortunately, Your Majesty doesn't blame you, when will this reckless nature be changed." ”
Song Qinglan sighed and said, "If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, of course I wouldn't be like this." Let's not mention this for now, is my mother okay these days? ”
Speaking of this, Liu Qiyun tugged at the corners of her mouth: "Thanks to her, I am much more leisurely." ”
"I've heard it all, and my mother can rest assured that she won't be proud for long."
Song Qinglan clenched Liu Qiyun's hand tightly and lowered his voice.
"By the way, mother, I heard about it in Linzhou. Father...... Crowned the third sister Princess Zhaoding? ”
As soon as Liu Qiyun heard this, she remembered that she had been put on two orders by Song Qing'an in succession, and her expression was a little unstable for a while: "Yes...... Your third sister may be patient now. ”
Liu Qiyun took the tea cup handed by Fuxia, and her phoenix eyes were awe-inspiring: "Do you think that just a concubine can let your mother be like this?" ”
Song Qinglan frowned slightly: "Mother means ...... Shouldn't it? ”
In Song Qinglan's impression, Song Qingan before the accident was a simple and ignorant person, and he was too skinny; After the accident, he changed his temperament, and according to Song Qinglan's guess, he probably became weak and introverted.
As for the rest...... Song Qinglan never thought about it.
Liu Qiyun glanced sideways: "That's nature." Concubine Chen has been with me for so many years, how can she ever win me? ”
"Lan'er, don't underestimate her. Your third sister and her mother, like, but not like you. ”
Liu Qiyun gently blew the hot air on the surface of the tea, and her eyes became obscure.
Remembering the news that Fuxia had brought after going to the needlework bureau a few days ago, she was scared for a while. I didn't expect ...... I didn't even hide from such an inconspicuous one.
Although Song Qinglan didn't believe it very much, he still listened to Liu Qiyun's words. It was she who agreed, while secretly thinking about meeting Song Qing'an.
"Third sister...... Do you still live there? ”
"Yes, but ...... It's probably time to move the palace soon, right? Liu Qiyun raised her eyebrows, "After all, the power of the six palaces is now in the hands of Concubine Chen, and she will not be treated too badly." ”
"You're going to see her?"
Liu Qiyun knew the purpose of Song Qinglan's question.
Song Qinglan nodded slowly, and then heard Liu Qiyun chuckle: "Yes, after all, it is a sister, and you, as the eldest sister, should also go and see it." ”
"But Lan'er, you remember, you didn't go back to Beijing this time for your mother's business." Liu Qiyun put away her smile and looked solemn, "Do what you have to do, my mother doesn't want to ...... You're being involved. ”
Song Qinglan saw Liu Qiyun's rare seriousness, and also straightened up and said seriously: "Mother don't worry." ”
When she returned to Beijing, she really had nothing to do with Liu Qiyun.
Her sister-in-law, Xie Hechen's sister Xie Hesi, is gone.
Xie Hesi was originally in the capital before the Shangyuan Festival, and he never thought that after the Lantern Festival, the people of Xie Mansion would not be able to find Xie Hesi anyway.
The reason why he did not report to the official was ...... Xie Hesi also sent a message to Linzhou after his disappearance. Xie Fu's things are special, and the letter is indeed from Xie Hesi's hand, looking at the above meaning, this is probably her escape.
Although Song Qinglan and Xie Hechen were relieved because of this, they still wanted to find Xie Hesi.
It is always more convenient for Song Qinglan to find people in Beijing, and not long after getting the news, Song Qinglan set off for the capital.
