Return of the Swallow

Chapter 788 Murderous Intent

Li Qitian actually entered the palace without being informed by the Zhongguan. He didn't know how long he had been here and how much he had heard!

The queen was a little flustered, took a breath to calm down, and respectfully saluted Li Qitian: "I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."

Then he said angrily: "These people are true. When the Holy Emperor came, they didn't know how to salute and pass the news. It was my concubine who neglected to control the palace people, which made the Holy Emperor laugh. My wife only focused on talking to the sister of the Qin family and failed to greet the Holy Emperor. , it’s really rude.”

Li Qitian waved his hand, lifted his robe and sat on the queen's seat, smiling: "I want to hear what you were talking about so that they didn't make any noise."

He actually said it bluntly?

Qin Yining stood aside, still holding the embroidery sample in his hand. Upon seeing this, he placed the embroidery sample on the black lacquered paulownia wood table beside him, saluted Li Qitian and said, "Your Majesty, Wan'an."

"Well, get up." Li Qitian casually took the tea bowl brought by the queen's hands.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Yining stood up and stood aside.

Li Qitian put down the tea bowl, picked up the embroidery samples on the table, looked at them, threw them away, and said with a smile: "Tell me, what were you talking about just now?"

The queen's whole body felt like she was immersed in ice water, and her panic spread like an icy poisonous snake snaking up her feet, wrapping her tightly around her.

At this moment, she felt more clearly that her husband was no longer the simple man he used to be. He is the king of a country. He can no longer only have their little family in his heart, and they are no longer an ordinary couple.

Suppressing the sourness and fear in her heart, the queen said calmly: "Back to the Holy Father, I was thinking of making two pairs of shoes for the Queen Mother. I didn't know what style and pattern to choose for a while. Sister Qin has an old feudal prince in her family, and she is very smart. He was favored by the Queen Mother and often served at her side. I guessed that I also knew the preferences of people of the Queen Mother's age, so I thought of asking Sister Qin to help and advise.

"

"Oh? Is that so?" Li Qitian raised his eyebrows and looked at Qin Yining.

Qin Yining smiled and nodded: "Yes. I am so loved by the Queen, and I just thanked you for this."

Li Qitian looked at the Queen and Qin Yining suspiciously, with deep eyes, slightly pursed lips, and a slight frown on his brows. It was obvious that he did not believe what they said.

But even if he didn't believe it, he didn't have any real evidence. It's not good to face the queen in front of a married woman.

"That's all. I have to go back to review the papers." Li Qitian stood up and glanced at Qin Yining casually, "You are so kind to teach Concubine Shun. After Concubine Shun has learned enough, I will allow you to return to the palace."

Qin Yining smiled and responded: "Yes, I obey the order."

Li Qitian glanced at the queen again and left quickly with the accompanying palace attendants.

The queen and Qin Yining rushed to the palace gate to see her off.

Seeing Li Qitian and his party walking away, the queen breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that Li Qitian didn't notice anything, it was just a coincidence.

Qin Yining's heart became even heavier.

Li Qitian came, but during the chat, he did not reveal that Qin Huaiyuan went to the border to reward the army.

What's so shameful about rewarding the army? Even if Qin Huaiyuan went to reward the army, it was inappropriate, but it was the emperor's order, so it was justifiable, and it was the Holy Spirit's decree, which was even more glorious and graceful.

After being kind, Li Qitian had no reason to say nothing in front of her, as if it didn't happen.

She lives in the palace and has cut off contact with the palace long ago. She is still being kept secret about this matter. What is Li Qitian worried about? And why don't you want her to know?

Could it be that she is afraid of the Blue Sky Alliance in her hands? After all, she is different from ordinary ladies who have no power to fight back.

Qin Yining was puzzled, but just like when he entered the palace this time, his heart felt a little cold.

In front of the queen, she couldn't show her uneasiness.

She smiled and said: "I don't know when Concubine Shun will learn the etiquette. My wife has two younger sisters who will leave the palace soon. The prince is in the south now, my wife is in the palace again, and my father is also traveling far away." Well, I always feel a little regretful if I can’t provide wedding gifts for my two sisters.”

The queen felt relieved when she saw that Qin Yining knew that Qin Huaiyuan went out to reward the army and nothing happened. Hearing her mention this kind of housework again, I felt a little more close and sympathetic.

"In this case, please be patient for a moment and go back to this palace to find an opportunity to talk to the Holy One. I think the Holy One will be accommodating to these matters."

"Thank you so much, ma'am." Qin Yining smiled and thanked her.

The two quickly discussed how to make shoe uppers for the Queen Mother, and Qin Yining stood up and left.

The Queen must also take the initiative to say hello to the Queen Mother: Even if the Queen Mother saves the Queen from coma, the Queen has to take the initiative to say hello. Even if she is stopped outside the gate of Ci'an Palace, it is better than being ignored.

Qin Yining returned to the side hall where Chu Xiu Palace was temporarily staying, and asked Ji Yun and Bingtang to go about their own business. He sat alone on the edge of the bed in the inner hall, unconsciously playing with the tassels hanging from the curtain.

All in all, why did Li Qitian arrange for his father to reward the army?

To reward the army, wouldn't it be more appropriate to arrange for Duke Ding to go there?

What's more, all these things happened by coincidence.

Pang Xiao was left in the south, and there must be a lot of troubles in the old capital. He must have been stumbling now. Pang Xiaona also listened to the order to get rid of Yuchi Yan. I don't know how Pang Xiao made the decision and how Li Qitian and the Qiu family arranged it.

Not to mention, now she was kept by Li Qitian in the name of teaching Princess Tana etiquette and Dazhou dialect. She was detained in the palace and knew nothing about the outside world. She had to always pay attention to any disturbance in the palace. Incapable of doing anything else.

Qin Huaiyuan is the only person in the palace who can guard the two families.

But Qin Huaiyuan went to reward the army according to the order.

If it were a bigger palace, the rest of the people would be people who couldn't decide to pay attention. But the three people in their family who could make decisions were separated, fighting on their own.

It's hard for Qin Yining not to think that this was Li Qitian's deliberate move.

What is the purpose of separating them, detaining her in the palace, and separating Qin Huaiyuan and Pang Xiao to the north and south?

Qin Yining's fingers were wrapped around the tassel, and he couldn't figure it out after turning over and over in his mind.

She never makes decisions about certain things because she is smart enough.

The things she encountered in the past were also forced before her. She could only choose the method she thought was most appropriate to act. Fortunately, she was lucky and walked through the mountains of swords and seas of fire again and again.

What about this time?

Qin Yining's mind was disturbed, and she couldn't help but think of the two children who were taken to Nanyan by the Sun family and the Ma family.

Suddenly a light flashed in Qin Yining's mind.

Who is the enemy in Li Qitian's mind?

It wasn't Qin Yining, a womanly woman, nor Qin Huaiyuan, a weak official, but Pang Xiao, who had a high prestige in the military and was deduced by Tianjizi to be the Ziwei Emperor Star.

So everything Li Qitian did was to achieve a certain purpose with Pang Xiao.

Now Pang Xiao is in the south and is caught up in Yuchi Yan's affairs, but he is gradually getting a firm grip on the 100,000-strong Southern Army.

This time the Long Xiang Army and the Tiger Ben Army fought against the Tatars. Although they were all under Ji Zeyu's command and were convinced of Ji Zeyu's ability and talent, the 100,000 Tiger Army and the Tiger Guard Army were the hardcore soldiers who had followed Pang Xiao in his northern and southern campaigns. They were already in the army. Pang Xiao, who has a high prestige, has now gained a firm foothold in the Pingnan Army.

This should be regarded as adding insult to injury for Li Qitian, who has always suspected Pang Xiao of being disloyal, right?

Li Qitian probably wanted to get rid of Pang Xiao.

However, as a monarch, Li Qitian has only established the dynasty for six years and entered its seventh year. The dynasty is still very young, and Li Qitian's position is not yet secure. Even if he wants to get rid of Pang Xiao, he will never do it. It will make people all over the world think that he did this because he was afraid of the heroes.

If he leaves behind the reputation of fearing heroes, how will Li Qitian be able to rule the world and convince people with virtue?

Therefore, to get rid of Pang Xiao, Li Qitian will definitely give himself a justifiable reason, just like when he ordered people to list Pang Xiao's crimes and impeach him in the court for his "ten major crimes".

Pang Xiao's behavior was originally flawless.

But now, Pang Xiao's biggest weakness has been exposed to others. Just because Pang Xiao had resisted thirty-three imperial edicts for her, and just because she was trapped in Jianchuan, Pang Xiao was able to lead his troops and almost flatten Jianchuan City...

Therefore, Li Qitian was determined to get rid of her, and Pang Xiao would definitely rebel!

Qin Yining stood up suddenly and almost pulled off the tassels on the tent.

She understood why her father was sent to reward the army!

I also understand why she has been living in peace during this period of time in the palace!

If Li Qitian wants to touch her, regardless of other considerations, with Qin Huai far away, he will definitely be able to protect her.

So Li Qitian transferred Qin Huaiyuan away.

As for the rest of the Qin family, they are all unable to handle big events, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

From the time she returned to Beijing, entered the palace, and was transferred away from Qin Huaiyuan, the next step was probably to attack her and force Pang Xiao to rebel!

Once Pang Xiao has the slightest intention to rebel and is caught, the Huben Army stationed near the capital and the Longxiang Army in the south will probably immediately obey Ji Zeyu's dispatch.

Ji Zeyu now has two trump cards, while Pang Xiao only has the Pingnan Army, which has only a hundred thousand yuan of food and salary. And Ji Zeyu still had justice at that time. Pang Xiao's reputation will be ruined for the rest of his life, and his family will be destroyed!

Qin Yining stood in front of the bed blankly, his face gradually turned pale, and his eyes gradually showed a look of fear.

Bingtang and Jiyun had long realized that something was wrong with Qin Yining, but when they saw her staring straight at something, as if she was lost in thought, they didn't dare to disturb her, so they could only stay there and be quiet. I'm anxious.

After waiting for a long time, Qin Yining finally came back to her senses. Bingtang immediately helped Qin Yining sit down and massaged her shoulders and arms, "Princess, what's wrong with you? What did you think of?"

Ji Yun also said: "Princess, please don't scare us. If you have anything to say, please tell us and we will discuss it together."

Qin Yining had a layer of cold sweat on his forehead and the bridge of his nose, and his palms were soaked with cold sweat.

She took a few deep breaths, shook her hands and wiped her face with her sleeves, and whispered: "I'm afraid the Holy One will kill my father and me."
