Return of the Swallow

Lu Heng looked at Qin Yining with clear eyes. He was already helpless and helpless when nothing happened. He liked such a strong one more.

How can Pang Xiao He De?Can you get such a woman as your wife?

If Pang Xiao could make Qin Yining's life safe and stable, it would be fine, and he would not feel so distressed.But what did Pang Xiao bring to Qin Yining's life?Whether it was before marriage or after marriage, Qin Yining followed Pang Xiao through wind and rain, and every time he died nine deaths.It was not because Pang Xiao was well protected and taken care of, but because Qin Yining was smart.

Why should such a good woman be treated so badly by that reckless man?

Lu Heng's thoughts flashed, but his unwilling emotions sprouted in his heart.

Qin Yining was watching the soldiers escorting the surviving officials or ordering people to carry the corpses down the mountain, but did not notice the flash of Lu Heng's expression.

At this time, in the palace, it was like a dark cloud pressing down on the city, and the palace people would walk on foot, for fear that a little bit of movement would alarm the host in a bad mood and bring disaster to himself.

——Don’t you see that since something happened to the Mausoleum of the Emperor Huangshan, there have been two little ladies in the empress dowager’s palace who were pulled out and killed.

In the Ci'an Palace at this time, the Queen Mother sat in the first place with a gloomy face.

The queen had a pale face and wept helplessly.

The clan relatives and the female relatives, like the princess Anyang, accompanied the Queen Mother, quietly waiting for news together.

The queen mother was upset, worried about Li Qitian's situation, and couldn't eat any urgent meals.

Seeing the queen still crying, the queen mother said irritably: "Well, don't cry anymore. For those who have a body, please pay more attention to the emperor's heir in the belly."

It is not necessary for the queen mother to elaborate and everyone understands.If the sage really encounters unexpected events, if the queen gives birth to a prince, then he is the only candidate for the prince.

The clansmen had different ideas in their hearts, and they all remained silent.

The queen moved her heart, wiped her tears and nodded: "What the queen said is. The concubines must take care of themselves."

"Well, that's right. This time, the saint encountered danger in Mount Huang, because of the note sent by the monk named Tianjizi. On the birthday feast, the Aijia felt that the content of the note was abnormal, but the saint With one heart for the people, worrying about the Tartary’s use of troops, and the treasury is tight, we can only find a way to get that treasure."

"The saint has worked hard for the country, and the ministers are ashamed." The clan members were all knighted, and some of them had been appointed to the court, but no one was in charge of the real power. All they could do at this time was to follow the voice.

The Queen Mother sighed: "It's all a family, so I won't talk about those scenes. Now that the saint is missing, Tartar is ready to move, and I don't know what storm we will face next. The courtiers above the court. , Because this time there have been a lot of deaths and injuries. It was the most stressful time of our great chaos. During this period, we have to rely on all of our family members, and our own family members should also help our own talents."

The Queen Mother hadn't read many books and she said very straightforwardly.But the meaning is clear to everyone.

The clan relatives were able to live a carefree life with beautiful clothes and delicate clothes, all because of Li Qitian as the emperor.

If something happened to Li Qitian, he would not have a man who could immediately bear the burden of the prince. Not to mention Tartar, even if a traitor in the court conspired to rebel, it would be enough for their clan relatives to drink a pot.

If they want to keep their glory and wealth, they must stabilize the great Zhou dynasty. The great Zhou surname is Li, and they have a lifetime of inexhaustible gold and silver mountains.

Therefore, everyone stood up at this moment, thinking about the Queen Mother saluting, "The Queen Mother Chitose Shengming."

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Early in the morning, the officials of Grade 4 or higher who are still alive in the capital will go to the Fengtian Hall to discuss politics without martial arts. Although the Ai family is a female stream, they cannot be left alone. Discuss the countermeasures."

The queen was shocked when she heard this.

The emperor is not here, the empress dowager wants to hold the power!

The queen dowager, who usually looks very good at talking, is so powerful at the critical moment, it is really shocking to think of this method and still have the courage to implement it.

Taihou sat in the first place, holding up the tea bowl to play with the lid.

Li Helan saw the queen's surprised expression and asked provocatively: "What does the emperor's wife think? Now it's our family who talks behind closed doors. If you have any ideas, just talk about it, and the queen won't allow it."

The mother of the queen is not strong, kind and gentle, she is a good hand in housekeeping, but as the mother of a country is too soft to support her, her husband is gone, she is still a pregnant woman, and now the queen mother has clearly revealed Purpose, if she has the intention of blocking, I am afraid that the child in her womb will not be able to be born safely if it makes trouble.

Thinking about this, the queen hurriedly shook her head and said: "The princess is joking, how can I think about it. Now I no longer have the backbone, everything depends on the arrangement of the mother."

Li Helan raised her mouth proudly and thought to herself: Forgive you for not dare!

The people present also saw everything clearly, had already estimated their position in their hearts, and had an eye for what to do next.

Qin Yining stayed on the mountain and did not go home for three full days.

The guards of Gyeonggi kept digging day and night, and finally opened the second tomb. However, apart from the corpses of a few imperial guards, there were no signs of Li Qitian, Pang Xiao, and Li Guanwen. Going inside, there was a harder piece. The grand stone fell, separating the second tomb from the inside of the underground palace.

"What should I do? Three days have passed. The geological surveyor found that there are hard rocks in it. If it is not easy to dig, there are big rocks blocking it again..."

Qin Yining closed her eyes. She can now be sure that Pang Xiao must not have died when the tomb collapsed when the tomb was lit. People must have gone to the underground palace.However, it has been three days without eating or drinking inside, and I don't know whether the air is circulating or not. This situation is even more anxious than at first.

In three days, Ji Zeyu had never slept a full sleep. His eyes were bloodshot, his chin was covered with stubble, his hair was messy, his face was dirty, and he was still directing people calmly, "Keep digging."

Someone persuaded Ji Zeyu: "Punma, you should go to rest first, so that you can sleep and wash. How can your body stand it!"

Ji Zeyu stared at the direction of the underground palace without expression, and his hoarse voice was still cold and cold: "Don't worry about me, as long as the saint stays in the underground palace for one day, I will not go down to the mountain."

In the past few days, after receiving Ji Zeyu's care, Qin Yining's impression of him has long since changed.The so-called true love in adversity, whether Ji Zeyu is out of loyalty, or out of friendship with Pang Xiao, or out of the importance of saving people, Qin Yining is very grateful to him.

Seeing Ji Zeyu's face is really ugly, Qin Yining also persuaded: "Ji Ma Ma still has to rest. Even if the iron-struck body can't stand up to sleep and work all the time, if the Ma is down, who will preside over this matter? I'm a female stream. There is absolutely no way to control the overall situation."

Ji Zeyu rubbed his eyebrows, knowing that what Qin Yining said was the right way.Helplessly said: "Okay. Then I will take a nap."

Qin Yining said: "Ji Ma Ma returned to the city to wash and sleep and it's not too late to come again. You can ride a horse and walk quickly."

"No need here." He arched his hand to Qin Yining, "Thank you for your kindness."

After that, he turned around and found a floor, lay down straight, put his hands on his chest, and fell asleep regardless of the noise around his body.

Qin Yining shook his head.Knowing that Ji Zeyu was exhausted, he stopped bothering him.Turning to concentrate on looking at the direction of excavation.

At this moment, Ji Zeyu's cronies suddenly went up the mountain with a shock.

Qin Yining watched Jingzhe approach in surprise and worry, and asked, "But what happened at home?"

"There is nothing wrong at home. It was the master who ordered to go up the mountain to pass a message to the princess."

Qin Yining immediately understood that something major must have happened, otherwise Qin Huai would rush to send people up the mountain before going down.

Qin Yining stood up, supported by Bingtang and Jiyun, and Jingzhe went to a place far away from the crowd.

After standing still, he didn’t ask questions immediately. After Jingzhe checked that there were no others around, he said: “This morning the queen mother presided over the early dynasty. The ministers asked to supervise the kingdom of Lijun on behalf of the king. Hearing politics, the Queen Mother nodded, and the loyal ministers also agreed."

Qin Yining's brows jumped: "Who is the Lijun King? I never remembered that there were brothers in the saint, and no children under his knees."

"It’s no wonder that the princess didn’t know that Prince Li just returned to Beijing. He is the prince’s cousin. He is twenty-seven years old and has only one daughter under his knee. Some prisons."

Qin Yining immediately understood what Qin Huaiyuan meant.

A gentleman makes the ministers and the queen dowager at the mercy of him, and he has only one daughter under his knees. If Li Qitian goes wrong, Jun Wang Li will be named the emperor's first brother and successor. If the queen gives birth to a son, the throne will continue. To pass to the son of Li Qitian.

The queen mother seemed to be just an ordinary village woman, and she couldn't expect to show her claws at the critical moment, and she was really incapable of showing her appearance.

However, does the current Great Zhou Dynasty really need a puppet state that can be manipulated like soft cotton?

Qin Yining is worried about Pang Xiao these days, and has no spare time to consider the situation in North Korea.

However, since Tianjizi played such a big game of chess, it is impossible not to hurry up and make real plans.At this time, Tatar might have deliberately moved troops.

Can a weak and uninhibited state supervise the nation's warfare?

Thinking of this, Qin Yining even felt that Li Qitian was better than them as emperor.

Qin Yining's thoughts took no more than a moment, and Qin Yining's next words were even more stunned.

"In the early days, several ministers impeached Ji Luma to protect the saints, and the Queen Mother also reprimanded Ji Luma on the spot. Another courtier recommended Zhou Dayong, Qingyang Hou. He said Zhou Dayong was calm and experienced, and he should be worthy of a heavy responsibility. Hou Qingyang was appointed as the head coach of the Hu Ben Army. Presumably, the eunuch who was sent from the palace is coming."
