Return of the Swallow

When Qin Yining returned to the palace, the door was opened without the threshold, and the carriage went straight to the inner house unimpeded.

On the carriage, Qin Yining explained the situation in the mansion to Bingtang and Jiyun in a low voice, and instructed: "You guys have to be careful about this matter, don't let it out."

"Yes. Don't worry, princess, we understand the importance. We must be careful and nothing bad will happen."

Qin Yining said with a smile: "Of course I don't worry. Last night it was hard for you. The night wind on the mountain is cold. Don't catch a cold. I asked them to prepare ginger soup and boiled a pot of ginseng chicken soup on low heat. You all have to eat some .”

Jiyun and Bingtang felt warm in their hearts, and nodded with a smile.

Bingtang smiled and said: "Princess just loves to worry, so it can get cold to us."

Qin Yining joked with a smile: "It's not that it's too cold, the tiger is on the mountain, so how can you be willing to let you be cold."

Bingtang's face turned red, and she glared at Qin Yining red-faced: "The princess is getting worse and worse! It's so bad!"

Seeing her shy look, Qin Yining thought that Pang Xiao had been saved. Even if their future is bumpy, as long as everyone is alive and well, she will not be afraid of anything. Thinking of this, Qin Yining was in a good mood for a moment, so he suppressed his laughter.

Back in Siqing Garden, Qin Yining sent Bingtang and Jiyun to take a bath and change clothes to rest.

He called Xianyun and asked in a low voice, "Where is the prince?"

Xianyun looked outside the door to make sure that no one was eavesdropping, so she lowered her voice and said, "A few people came just now, and they said they were your friends. The guard Cao next to the old man asked someone to invite the prince to go out with him."

Qin Yining immediately understood that Pang Xiao was going out to meet someone from the Qingtian League.

Although the members of the Qingtian League are not honest and gentlemen, and they may not have the ability to govern the country and the family, there are quite a lot of capable people and strange people. This time, her and Pang Xiao's plan needs the help of talented people from the Qingtian League.

Qin Yining knew that Pang Xiao would cover it up carefully when he went out, and he didn't even walk around Yao Shi and Yao Chenggu, so he was completely relieved.

The days of hiding and hiding will soon be over. Had to hold on for a while longer.

Qin Yining asked someone to deliver the post to the palace.

"It means that the prince is still in the underground palace, and so is the Holy Majesty,

The minister's wife would like to pay homage to the queen and queen mother, and would like to pay their respects to them. "

The Queen Mother and Li Helan are eating grapes. The grapes on Xingong are plump and the juice is rich and sweet. Li Helan ate happily, but the queen mother took two to slow down.

"We have a good meal here. But your brother in the underground palace is... My heart is really about to be tortured and riddled with holes."

Li Helan lowered his hand slowly, threw the grapes into the plate, and slowly took the handkerchief to wipe his fingers.

"Mother, don't be sad. Brother Huang will definitely be sad."

When Li Helan said this, she actually had no idea in her heart.

During this period of time, Ji Zeyu persisted in digging on the mountain, and only went down the mountain once during this period, which shows that the situation on the mountain is not optimistic.

Li Helan didn't know what would happen to Da Zhou if Li Qitian was really gone. But her own elder brother sitting in that position, sitting in that position with her cousin is naturally impossible for her.

"Mother, why don't we find a way to arrange more people and rescue the emperor as soon as possible."

The queen mother smiled wryly after hearing the words: "It's not easy. It's been twenty days, twenty days! Your emperor brother is inside, it's probably... these queen mothers don't dare to think about it, even if we arrange people to go now, I'm afraid it will be too late." ..."

Li Helan couldn't help but frowned and said: "Then why didn't the empress arrange more people to go when the incident happened?"

Li Helan was raised petitely since she was a child, and her conversations with the queen mother were only mother-daughter conversations. She always said whatever came to her mind, and she really didn't realize that her words really pierced the heart of the queen mother.

The queen mother couldn't help but sullen, "What were you doing at that time? At that time, the Ai family was busy consolidating the status of our Li Dynasty! Do you think that if the Ai family hadn't arranged for the regent of the Lijun king in time, your brother-in-law would control the military power of the Huben army? In your hands, will those factions in the imperial court continue to submit? They were still unconvinced when your imperial brother was here! Just because we women, if we don’t try to hold on to power, we will die sooner or later!"

Li Helan was frightened by the queen mother's eyes that seemed to be eating people, blinked and swallowed, and then said a little timidly: "Queen mother, don't get angry, my daughter also knows your difficulties. Don't say anything else, it's the daughter who enters the palace these days Come on, there are two more interrogations, and those dead eunuchs have taken the courage to come and search me, but fortunately, my daughter is a bit majestic. They didn't dare to be presumptuous."

"Is there such a thing?" The queen mother was very surprised, she couldn't help but sat up straight and asked, "When did it happen? Why didn't I hear you mention it before?"

"Just these two days, they didn't dare to ask about their daughter, so my son didn't take it seriously."

Li Helan saw that the Queen Mother's face was not very good-looking, and asked hesitantly, "What's wrong with you, Queen Mother?"

The queen mother shook her head, her lips pursed into a line.

Could it be that Li Junwang has a rebellious heart?

The queen mother thought about it, and she always felt that there was something wrong with Li Junwang's appearance.

The Empress Dowager knew her daughter's temperament very impulsively and arrogantly. If she told her these things, she would show her feet outside. If she quarreled in the ears of King Li, it would be bad.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother only said: "Nothing."

At this time, there was a servant in front of the door replying: "Report to the Empress Dowager, Princess Zhongshun handed over the post."

Both the Queen Mother and Li Helan raised their eyebrows and looked towards the front of the palace.

Li Helan frowned, her face full of displeasure.

The servant came forward with the post in both hands.

The queen mother took a look at it, and said: "Mr. Qin asked for an order to enter the palace later to pay respects to Ai's family. She also has a heart."

"She's just hypocritical." Li Helan raised her voice in dissatisfaction, "That foxy girl is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She is used to selling camels in the Nine Kingdoms. The queen mother must not follow her way."

The Queen Mother knew that Li Helan and Qin Yining had always been at odds. Li Helan might still be thinking about Pang Xiao in his heart. He didn't poke her face to face, just said: "Forget it, you don't like her, just go out of the palace earlier."

This is why the Queen Mother decided to see Qin Yining.

Li Helan was dissatisfied, and stood up abruptly: "My mother knows how to face outsiders, let me go? Just go!"

Leaving one sentence behind, Li Helan angrily led her out of the palace.

The queen mother looked at Li Helan's back, and sighed helplessly. Her daughter is so arrogant, so she can only let her go at this juncture. She doesn't have the spare energy to teach her now.

Qin Yining didn't know the situation in the palace, so after getting permission, he immediately changed his clothes and prepared to enter the palace.

Pang Xiao hugged her into the carriage, and whispered in front of the door: "You remember my words, your safety is the most important thing, and the rest are secondary, if you can't do it, come back soon."
