Chapter 020: Follow into the Palace

Zhan Yu also asked Qingchen why he started with the regent to help Nie Xinyao.

After all, Zhao Ruofei is by the side of the Seven Imperial Maidens, and Xiao Yi is now by the side of the Third Imperial Maiden, if he wants to save the two of them back, then he should also start with Nie Xinlin and Nie Xinrou.

After the civil strife in southern Xinjiang, although the regent has died down, but her power for so many years is still there, if she can't completely subdue or disintegrate the regent's power, whether the regent will be in power in the future or unite with a certain princess, it will be a huge obstacle for Nie Xinyao.

Grip Yu wrote down Qingchen's words, paid attention to himself, and also instructed the people who picked up the star tower to pay attention to the news about the regent, hoping to make Qingchen's actions more convenient.

Qingchen didn't care about this, what she did was in her eyes, and she was moved in her heart, but she also felt that it was the icing on the cake, after all, the regent and the other princesses were not fuel-efficient lamps, all the information she knew was just to prepare, and if she really wanted to catch the regent in one go, it was not so simple.

On this day, Qingchen was reading a book in the house, reading the historical collections of the previous dynasties in Southern Xinjiang, but at this moment, Nie Xinyao walked in with Baoxing and Wuqin.

"Why did the Sixth Highness remember to come here? Now that I am temporarily living in the Sixth Highness's mansion, if there is anything, the Sixth Highness can just send someone to say something. When Qingchen saw Nie Xinyao, he immediately got up and spoke, with a slight surprise and honor on his face.

Seeing Qingchen's appearance, Nie Xinyao was very satisfied.

Mu Ye before, although she also kept saying that Mu Qingjue's approach to the Lou family made her feel cold, so she came to southern Xinjiang to join her, wanting to find a Bole and realize her ideals and ambitions. But in Nie Xinyao's opinion, these words were too much space, making her feel that Mu Ye seemed to be too unearthly.

This feeling is very uneasy for Nie Xinyao, because she can't feel that Qingchen wants something from her, and a person who wants nothing is very dangerous to her, because she can't control such a person.

But now, she saw joy and honor from Mu Qingchen's face, which meant that she was slowly subduing Mu Qingchen's heart, and her accommodation and condescension made Qingchen feel moved, so that she was dead set on herself.

"The holy decree came to the palace, and the mother emperor sent someone to call the palace into the palace, and at the same time invited several other sisters, including the regent who the mother queen has been guarding against, and the eldest imperial sister. Nie Xinyao spoke.

"Oh, Your Highness the Sixth, can you know that the Empress suddenly announced that Her Highness entered the palace, what is the so-called?" Qingchen frowned when he heard this, and asked.

"I don't know in this palace, the mother emperor hasn't announced us to enter the palace for a long time, and I don't know why this time. Nie Xinyao took the initiative to come to the courtyard of Qingchen, and when she saw An Zhiruosu's Qingchen, she sighed faintly.

"Your Highness the Sixth Don't worry, the soldiers will come to block it, the water will come to cover it, no matter what it is, it will always come. Qingchen said and spoke again, "If the Sixth Highness is ready, then let's go." ”

Nie Xinyao didn't say much, just nodded, and then walked towards the palace with Qingchen and Zhanyu, as well as Baoxing and Wuqin beside him.

This is the first time Qingchen has entered the palace in southern Xinjiang, it is no different from what he imagined, the same majestic atmosphere, the same magnificence, but compared to the palace of Ning Yue and Tianxing, there is a little more mysterious style belonging to southern Xinjiang, like a girl covered with a veil, which makes people can't wait to reveal their true faces.

Southern Xinjiang is a feminist country, so most of the palace maids in the palace are eunuchs, except for the occasional one or two female officials who are in charge of affairs by the side of the palace masters.

Qingchen followed behind Nie Xinyao, carefully playing his role, but he took in the people and things in the southern Xinjiang court one by one and remembered them in his heart.

"Isn't this the Sixth Emperor Sister? What? The Sixth Emperor Sister has changed people around her again? A few days ago, it was the man who looked obscene, how did he become a beautiful woman today?"

Just when Qingchen and the others just entered the palace gate, a familiar and arrogant voice came from their ears, and everyone looked back to see that it was Nie Xinlin, the Seventh Imperial Princess, with a provocative smile, standing not far away, looking at them.

Since Qingchen secretly learned the disguise technique with Zhao Yan, coupled with his own practice, the ability to disguise himself has become superb, and it is just a breeze to change a different face, and it would not be a problem to follow Nie Xinyao's side as a woman, but there is a Seventh Imperial Daughter who likes to stir up trouble.

"What's the matter, who are the people I have with me, is it possible that I still have to tell the Seventh Emperor Sister?" Nie Xinyao raised her eyebrows, and then asked.

"That's not necessary, sister, I'm just curious, it seems that there are many people around the Sixth Emperor Sister. Nie Xinlin said this, her gaze swept over Qingchen's face, and then she turned around and left, taking the lead towards the inner hall.

And Nie Xinyao looked at the back of Nie Xinlin leaving, shook her head, sighed slightly, and immediately followed.

Qingchen knew that Nie Xinlin was being used, and the person who used her was the Third Emperor Nie Xinrou. Because the female personality of the Seven Emperors is impulsive, it is easiest to be provoked, as long as the Three Imperial Daughters have a little trickery, the Seven Imperial Daughters will be fooled.

Thinking of the Three Imperial Maidens, Qingchen couldn't help but think of Xiao Yi, since he fought with Xiao Yi outside the Three Imperial Maiden's Mansion that night, he hadn't seen him again, and he didn't know how he was.

Qingchen sighed faintly, and then quickly kept up with Nie Xinyao's pace, pretending to be cautious, bowing her head, looking very deferential, no one would know that she was once the stunning Ye Qingcheng, no one would know that she was Mu Qingchen who subverted Ning Yue, and no one would know that she was Mu Ye who became famous in a fight.

The empress summoned a few princesses, and she didn't mean anything else, but it was the poisoning case that happened in the empress's mansion last time, which made her feel a little cold in her heart, and she wanted to find an opportunity to get her daughters together, let them contact their feelings, and let them not do things that discord between sisters.

It's just that the empress is destined to be disappointed, because the temptation of the throne is too great, and no one is willing to quit like this, giving up this obviously low-hanging fruit position.

In the empress's palace, several royal daughters sat side by side on the left and right sides of the empress, according to the eldest and youngest of the empress, Nie Xinyao naturally relied on the empress's closest position, she sat on the left hand side of the empress, and the right hand side was not Nie Xinlin, but the regent who had not been seen for a long time.

Qingchen stood behind Nie Xinyao, knowing in his heart, thinking that the empress still cared about sisterhood, the regent launched a rebellion in the past, which almost shook the foundation of the entire southern Xinjiang, even if it was defeated, but the empress did not do anything to her, and even did not deprive her of her title, but just let her hang up a false title and be an idle prince.

Below Nie Xinyao, Nie Xinlin and Nie Xinyu, and below the regent, Nie Xinyi and Nie Xinrou, and below, there are several uncommon or not very favored princesses, the empress called them, but they are just a full number, and the ultimate goal is to knock these princesses who have thoughts about the throne.

"If it hadn't happened in the Condensing Moon Country, there should have been a place for Menghua here now. The empress glanced at the people in the hall, and when she spoke, it turned out to be such a sentence.

Everyone was surprised, and they didn't understand what the empress meant, why she was so decent, so they mentioned Nie Menghua who died in Ningyue, after all, this matter was a secret in Nie Xinyao's heart, and it was also a thorn in the regent's heart.

"Thank you Sister Huang for your concern, it's Menghua who doesn't have this blessing. When the regent heard this, he replied without changing his face, as if he was really thanking the empress, but everyone present knew that all this was only a superficial phenomenon.

"It's my fault, if I hadn't agreed to Menghua's request and didn't let Menghua go to Ningyue, maybe this wouldn't have happened. The Empress said again, "Actually, I have gathered you all today because I have an important matter to announce. ”

"I don't know what the Empress is talking about, does it have anything to do with Sister Menghua?" Nie Xinlin has always been straightforward, and when she heard the Empress say this, she asked.

"Not bad. The empress nodded and said, "Your Uncle Wang only has one daughter, Menghua, who sent Ningyue to the south of my country, but died unexpectedly and tragically, and I have found out that all this was the plan of the Ningyue Kingdom at the beginning, and I and your Uncle Wang both fell for the tricks of Xiao Ling, the emperor of Ningyue." ”

The empress's words fell, and everyone's hearts were filled with doubts at the same time, not understanding what the empress meant.

After all, it was Nie Xinyao, the daughter of the Sixth Emperor, who went to southern Xinjiang with Nie Menghua, and then Nie Xinyao was safe and sound, but Nie Menghua died in a foreign land, as long as someone with a little brain, he would think that this was actually the empress's plan to kill people with a knife, and he borrowed the opportunity to kill Nie Menghua with Ning Yue, and then splashed dirty water on Ning Yue's body, which is why the regent later raised troops to confront the empress.

But now, the empress actually said that all this was Ning Yue's ploy, how could people be convinced?

"I don't know why the imperial sister said this?" It was about Nie Menghua, and the regent could no longer be as indifferent as he was just now, even if he was suspicious in his heart, he still asked.

"Imperial sister, do you still remember, who was behind the civil strife in southern Xinjiang?" the empress looked at the regent and asked without answering.

When the regent heard this, he was stunned, and at first he thought that the empress was deliberately mentioning this matter to embarrass her in front of several juniors, but she looked at the empress's serious expression on her face, and she didn't seem to mean this, so she also seriously recalled it.

The reason why she did not hesitate to raise troops and point the finger at the empress and Nie Xinyao was because she listened to the words of Gu Yanzhao, the general of Ning Yue Kingdom, and believed in the empress and Nie Xinyao's plan to kill people with a knife, and even did not hesitate to conspire with Gu Yanzhao, wanting to cooperate with the outside world and completely subvert southern Xinjiang.

Now listening to the meaning of the empress's words, could it be that there is another hidden secret in it? Gu Yanzhao is not telling her the truth, but is provoking the relationship between her and the empress?

It seemed that seeing that the regent's face was a little loose, a trace of inexplicable look flashed in the empress's eyes, knowing that the regent had listened to her words and had his own thoughts.

In addition to the regent, the others were also thinking about the empress's words, and occasionally several of the princesses looked at each other, and they all smelled something unusual in each other's eyes.
