She glanced at the letter from Cao Fu on the desk, and did not rush to open it and read it.

Because of this letter, it was no longer important to her.

Lin Yuqian caught a glimpse of it, and the great eunuch Deacon Fang also followed the hall, standing aside and not leaving, she asked suspiciously: "Father-in-law Fang, is there anything else?" ”

Deacon Fang really had something, but I saw him take a step forward and arch his hand and whispered:

"Last night, the queen mother sent a decree, saying that if the princess is free today, she can go to Funing Palace to talk about it, and the mother said that she has not seen Her Royal Highness Princess Qian for several days."

Lin Yuqian and Cao Feiyan knew each other ten years ago.

In that year, not long after Cao Feiyan married into the palace, she gave birth to the 100-day banquet of the eighth prince Yuan Xuan, and the eleven-year-old Lin Yuqian entered the underground palace with Princess Wencheng Yuan Yuhuan.

Later, every time Lin Yuqian came to Kyoto, she would go to visit the concubine Cao Feiyan.

She is now the queen, and she should go to the face-to-face meeting to congratulate her.

It's just that during the three days I came to Beijing, I had no time to take care of it for a while due to state affairs.

"Father-in-law Fang, send someone to Funing Palace to return to Niangniang, and say that Qian'er will definitely go to visit before evening."

She had to bathe, sleep, and recuperate before she could go.

"No, the slave and maid are gone."

Deacon Fang bowed and exited the main hall.

The princess was the only one left in the hall, and she leaned on the armrest of the couch and closed her eyes and took a nap.

As soon as he fell asleep, he was woken up by the maid, "Princess, the hot water is ready, go and bathe." ”

Lin Yuqian was weak and didn't want to move.

But the stickiness on my body is really uncomfortable.

Forget it, let's go to the bath, wash and sleep, it will be more comfortable.

With the help of the maid, Lin Yuqian entered the bath.

She put her white hands on the clean bathtub, her chin rested on the back of her hand, and she took away all the palace ladies with her mouth, leaving only her personal maid Yun'er to serve beside her.

She has to take a shower every night, and now it's just sweat stains, and she mainly wants to soak in the hot water to soothe her muscles and bones.

"Princess, when the Xuanwu Gate was separated the day before yesterday, Master Xie specially told the slaves and maids to find a way to deliver the news after entering the palace." Yun'er rolled up her sleeves and reminded:

"But it's the third day now, we can't leave the East Palace, as if we are imprisoned, I guess they should be in a hurry."

"Shut up!"

Lin Yuqian opened her eyes suddenly, and scolded angrily in a low voice: "Aren't you afraid that the wall has ears?" If you open your mouth, the princess will naturally plan these things. ”

"Yes, the slave knows her mistake." Yun'er was frightened, and hurriedly lowered her head to admit her mistake.

She and her master Xie Shiqiu are both members of the Xie clan in the south of the Yangtze River, descendants of the famous Xie An of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Back then, their ancestor Xie Xuan Xie An led 80,000 Beifu soldiers to defeat the former Qin Emperor Fu Jian, an army of 800,000 at Weishui, thus consolidating the power of the Southern Dynasties.

After hundreds of years of changes, the current Xie family has long since declined, so he came out to be a master and a maidservant to make a living.

"When Princess Huiben returns to her room to rest, you stay at the door, no one is allowed to disturb, and don't call for lunch, until the sun sets, you can wake me up."

"Yes, Your Highness Princess."

Lin Yuqian closed her eyes, her head rested on the edge of the bucket, the steaming heat was steaming, the water droplets were translucent, and Yun'er scooped up the water and drenched her shoulders and neck.

Her eyelashes were long and curvy, but they were fluttering slightly.

She was thinking about how to let the queen help her deliver the news out of the palace.

The dispute between the eighth prince Yuan Xuan and the crown prince, she is clear, the queen mother, and of course one of the characters she can use.

……

The queen's illness, after five days of recuperation, took a few doses of medicinal soup, and basically recovered.

On the night of mid-autumn, due to the thin clothes, he drank a lot of wine in Yajuxian, which was transparent on all sides, and his mood plummeted, and the result was a small wind and cold.

This has kept the hospital busy for a while.

After some discussion, the prescription prescribed to her was filled with a medicine that calmed the nerves and tonified the brain.

In the original plan, the autumn travel plan with Concubine Lan and King Jin to start the next day was also in the soup.

In the past few days, King Yuanxuan of Jin has almost stayed by his mother's side.

It's just that he doesn't know that on the night of mid-autumn, everyone started eating, drinking and playing, and they were very happy, but then for some reason, the queen mother was out of control.

In the past few days, Concubine Lan has come from the East Palace every morning, saying that she is visiting the queen on behalf of the prince.

Cao Feiyan just smiled bitterly.

On the night of mid-autumn, the prince's last sharp rhetorical question did hit her death hole.

King Yuanxuan of Jin competed for the prince, this was the established policy of the Cao Group and her a few years ago, and the arrow was ready to be sent and had to be sent.

Even if she wants to stop now, Cao Qichang and his Cao Group will not agree, let alone stop plotting.

originally thought that the prince Yuanzhi was a waste, and Yuanxuan's storage was just an opportunity, and there was a process that came naturally.

Cao Feiyan and the people of Cao Mansion never thought that the crown prince after the prison state was in power seemed to be a completely different person.

Suddenly becomes extremely powerful and difficult to deal with.

Originally, I thought that the crown prince would not be able to hold on to the country for a few days, that is, it would be a farce, and he went through the motions, so that Jiye Emperor Yuanren was desperate and renamed King Yuanxuan of Jin as the crown prince.

Now it seems that Cao Fu and she have completely miscalculated.

Paralyze the enemy.

The prince is hidden!

In just a few months, Prince Yuanzhi has gained a firm foothold.

The most annoying thing was that Yuan Zhi was increasingly trusted by the emperor.

Now, it seems unlikely that the emperor will issue an edict to abolish the old and establish the new.

Unless there is the help of heaven and man, a miracle will happen.

If he had known that the crown prince Yuan Zhi was so good, Cao Feiyan would definitely not let King Jin participate in the struggle for the crown.

It's a perilous journey.

Perhaps, Yuan Zhi is right, fish and bear's paws, you can't have both.

Think about yourself if you're too greedy?

After repeated ideological struggles, Cao Feiyan could only give up her illusions and personal feelings for the prince, and everything was centered on King Jin.

Neither side wants to quit, so they can only play a game and resign themselves to fate.

If you figure it out, you will get better quickly.

Before dusk, when Princess Tiele arrived at Funing Palace, the queen mother was lying on the phoenix bed, her face was thin, and the wind cold seemed to have not healed.

The top-down bead curtain is sleek in color, with a faint soft light.

There were only two personal female officials in the dormitory, and King Jin sat in front of the bed, guarding his mother.

"Courtier Yuqian pays a visit to the queen."

Lin Yuqian knelt down and saluted.

"Princess Qian, sit down." Cao Feiyan raised her right hand, which was considered a half-salute.

Lin Yuqian got up and exchanged greetings with King Jin. "Xuan'er, you go back to the palace to rest, you all go down, and the palace will say some intimate words to Princess Qian." The queen spoke.

The beaded curtain and curtain hung down gently, and there were only two people in the palace, the queen and the princess.

"Princess Qian, come and sit on the edge of the bed, we haven't seen each other for several years, let this palace take a good look."

Cao Feiyan suddenly came to her senses, she took Lin Yuqian's hand and said affectionately.

"Qian'er has been missing her mother all these years, but she didn't expect that Niangniang's phoenix health was not good, which made Qian'er sad." Lin Yuqian's eyes were red, and she turned her head.

Cao Feiyan looked at Lin Yuqian's expression, but her heart was as calm as water.

I don't know how much of it is true?

Between the Eastern and Western Turks, Cao Fu has obviously favored Ashina-Tashi in recent years, which has made the relationship between everyone delicate.

The queen moved her body, her body leaned on the back of the bed, her left arm elbow on the small case, and her delicate posture was graceful.

She stretched out her right hand to pick up the warm fragrant tea, took a sip, and said with concern:

"There's nothing wrong with this palace, but I accidentally felt a little cold, it's much better now, this palace has also missed you all these years, I heard that Dali City was lost a few days ago, I don't know what happened to Princess Wencheng?"

Lin Yuqian stroked her soft chest, took a breath, pinched the embroidered handkerchief with the flying butterflies in the palm of her hand, gently wiped her forehead, and said indifferently:

"Qian'er has been out for more than 20 days, and I don't know what the current situation in northern Xinjiang is, but Dunniangniang should be safe, and she, the Great Khan and the Khan's court, should be evacuated to Cloud City according to the plan."

"That's good! Let's talk about the situation when you arrived in Beijing in the past few days, why did you live in the East Palace? ”

Cao Feiyan went around in a circle and finally cut to the chase.

Lin Yuqian subconsciously pinched the brocade quilt on the phoenix bed, and said as calmly as possible: "Niangniang, we all underestimate the prince, the evening before yesterday, Qian's daughter pretended to be a man

pretended to go to Hongjian Fang to relax, but was 'invited' by the prince to the East Palace, alas..."

She deliberately accentuated the word 'please', indicating that she was forced and not voluntary.

She roughly described the situation at the time, and naturally hid the secret letter.

Because the person who made the appointment was obviously not with the mission of Caofu, otherwise, it would be completely open and honest to meet and negotiate at the post house.

"Oh, how did you communicate with the prince, and did he meet your requirements?"

Blood-colored dusk, a huge glazed porcelain vase, reflecting the queen's concerned look.

Lin Yuqian also took a sip of tea and said:

"The prince has a clear distinction between public and private, but he only promised to send troops to the north, and nothing else was promised, saying that it would take some time to discuss in the court."

She only said some public information, and the rest was tight-lipped about it.

Lin Yuqian understood in her heart that the queen actually wanted to inquire that the Eastern Turkic Khan sent her to Beijing this time, except for asking for troops to help, other intentions and requirements.

and whether she and the crown prince have reached certain deals, or agreements.

In fact, Cao Feiyan did not agree with his father's preference for the Western Turks, especially this sudden war.

According to her idea, uniting the Eastern Turks and suppressing the Western Turks is more conducive to the future of King Yuanxuan of the Jin Dynasty.

There is no doubt that the current Eastern Turks are actually Kedun Yuan Yuhuan, and Ke Jiji is under joint control.

After the death of Moxi Khan, according to the Turkic Khan system, Kedun Yuan Yuhuan will marry Ke Jiji.

It is an indisputable tradition that a son inherits his father and wife.

The Eastern Turks returned to the Jin Dynasty for more than ten years, but Dunyuan Yuhuan and the queen Cao Feicao were like sisters.

It should not be difficult to win over the Eastern Turks and become Yuan Xuan's overseas supporters in the future.

Now it's a good thing, the Western Turks raised troops to attack the Eastern Turks, but it gave Yuan Zhi, the prince of the prison state, a chance to control Yuan Yuhuan and Duji.

"The crown prince sent troops this time to resolve the dispute between the Eastern and Western Turks, the palace raised his hands in agreement, please go back and tell Kedun and Keji, the palace strongly condemns Ashina Taxi, wishes the Eastern Turks an early success in their counterattack, and invites Princess Wencheng to visit Chang'an Jingshi at an appropriate time."

Cao Feiyan's words were actually whitewashing himself and King Jin.

Although she is the eldest daughter of Cao Mansion, she is also the queen of the empire, and Cao Mansion has some ideas, words and deeds, which do not represent her and the King of Jin.
