Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 566 Concealment (1)

   This is a palace servant in the East Palace, and his body shape is very similar to Lu Mingyu.

  The palace servant was lying on the bed, trembling a little, and whispered: "Is it really not going to reveal the stuff?"

  Qiyun said in a low voice, "It's only a matter of time before the stuffing is revealed. However, one day is a day. When it comes time to reveal the stuffing, there will be an empress blocking it!"

  The palace servant nodded, kept silent, and continued to turn over to the inside, honestly playing the role of the Crown Princess.

   After a while, the door was knocked: "Mother Yun, open the door, it's me."

   Outside the door is Li Jue's voice.

   Qiyun went to open the door, and saw Li Jue and Li Xuan both standing outside the door. The youngest Li Yun was coaxed by the wet nurse and did not come over for the time being.

   Qiyun silently stepped aside and let Li Xuan and Li Xuan come in.

  Li Jue Li Xuan entered the bedroom.

   The palace servants who are lying on the bed will get up and salute. Li Jue hurriedly said: "You continue to lie down, you don't have to get up and salute."

   Li Xuan also whispered: "Before my mother left, she told us to come back once a day and pretend. You don't have to be nervous."

  The palace servant was relieved and continued to lie down tremblingly.

   Li Jue and Li Xuan looked at each other and said in a low voice, "Mother left the palace quietly two hours ago, and now I don't know where she is."

   "Mother's riding skills are so good. She has a fast horse all the way. Before dark, she should be able to reach the farm in the suburbs."

  Li Jue looked worried and sighed: "I'm only seven years old. If I were a few years older, I should have left Beijing to go to Jiangnan to take care of my father."

"I want to go too." Li Xuan also sighed: "Actually, my riding skills are already very good. However, I'm not tall enough to be an adult. And I go to the study every day and don't show up for a day. , it arouses suspicion.”

After   , the two brothers and sisters sighed at the same time.

Seeing it in his eyes, Qiyun felt pain in his heart, and comforted softly: "The two little princes are still young, how can they afford bumpy travel. Besides, Jiangnan's private salt is rampant, and they collude in private, and dare to do anything to the prince. Only the prince When the concubine goes, it will be able to shock all parties Xiaoxiao."

  Li Jue grew up day by day, and was taught meticulously by Taifu, who was far smarter and more sensible than children of the same age. Hearing Qiyun's words, he immediately asked back: "Mother Yun also said it. These private salt dealers are so daring and dare to attack their father, how can they be afraid of their mother?"

  Qiyun replied calmly: "Empress Dowager Princess is capable of protecting herself even if she encounters an assassin."

   This is true.

  Li Xuan had great confidence in his mother, and immediately took over the conversation: "Mother Yun is right. Let's not think too much, listen to mother's words, study hard every day, and take good care of Li Conan..."

   Before he could finish speaking, Li Cong's crying sounded outside the door: "Where's my mother? I want my mother!"

  Li Jue and Li Xuan have a headache at the same time.

   Mother is gone, I don't know when she will be back. The two of them were fine, but Li Yun couldn't be separated from his mother for a day. It takes a lot of effort to coax you to cry like this.

  Li Xuan threw a sentence: "I'll coax him."

   Then, he opened the door and went out.

  Qiyun couldn't rest assured, and hurriedly went out. Seeing Li Xuan clenching his fist, he raised it threateningly, his eyes sharp and fierce: "Cry again, be careful I will beat you."

   Li Cong was often beaten, and when he saw Li Xuan raising his fists, he closed his mouth reflexively.

   Qiyun: "..."

  …

  Elder Qiao Ge and the others walked out of the Wenhua Hall with a solemn expression.

  Luo Shangshu stepped forward and walked side by side with Mr. Qiao Ge. After leaving the palace and getting on the carriage, he whispered: "This is the third time that the prince has been assassinated. The emperor was very angry. This time, he directly issued an order to send General Lu to lead 50,000 Xingyang troops to Jiangnan. They will set off in three days. ."

   King Lu Lin of Xingyang was in the barracks, and Emperor Yongjia decreed that Lu Fei should be the main general and lead 50,000 elite soldiers to the south of the Yangtze River. It is not only to protect the safety of the prince, but also to deter the Jiangnan family.

  Qiao Ge frowned and said in a deep voice: "The army is dispatched, and the food and grass are first. The Ministry of War has been busy for the past three days."

   "Only relying on private salt dealers, I don't have the ability to assassinate the prince. There must be an old family in the south of the Yangtze River who is making trouble. The memorial is vague about the prince's injury. Now I only worry about the prince's safety."

   Luo Shangshu was shocked when he heard it, and suddenly looked up at Qiao Ge Lao: "Qiao Ge Lao means that the prince is very dangerous in Jiangnan? Could it be that the people behind the scenes dare to do it again?"

   Old Qiao Ge's face was solemn: "This is the worst situation."

  Luo Shangshu sucked in a breath of cold air: "This is going to be created~ it won't work!"

Qiao Ge smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "The emperor sent the prince to Jiangnan that day, on the surface, it was a thorough investigation of illicit salt. In fact, he secretly had the purpose of pulling out the forces of the old clan in Jiangnan. After the prince arrived in Jiangnan, he successively removed three gangs of illicit people. The salt dealers also brought out some officials who colluded with the smuggled salt dealers.”

   "Behind these people, there is the power of the old Jiangnan family. They secretly raised private soldiers, and their power is huge, and they have never paid attention to the Great Wei court."

   "The prince was assassinated and injured, and his injuries are definitely not minor. Once the news of the imperial court sending troops reaches Jiangnan. How can you know that these people will not come and do nothing, concentrate their forces, and attack the prince again?"

   Luo Shangshu's face was also hard to look at.

   The Great Wei Dynasty was only ten years old, and it was still fighting for a few years before, and it was not a few years before the peaceful days. It is too early to say that the people will return to their hearts and the world will be stable.

   Jiangnan is the most prosperous place in the world, with many aristocratic families and intertwined forces. If there is turmoil, the peace that has come so hard will be ruined.

  As civil servants, they all look forward to the safety of the country and the people, and do not start wars easily.

   "No matter what, the safety of the crown prince is the most important thing." After a while, Qiao Ge opened his mouth to break the silence.

Luo Shangshu was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Lu Fei is the uncle of the prince. He is good at leading troops to fight. He will do his best to protect the prince when he goes to Jiangnan. However, it will take more than ten days for the army to go to Jiangnan. It hasn't been peaceful for a while."

  Qiao Ge Lao didn't know what to think, and suddenly said: "Perhaps, the Crown Princess has already thought of this."

  Luo Shangshu was stunned for a second, then raised his eyes to look at Elder Qiao Ge.

   Qiao Ge didn't speak, and gave Luo Shangshu a deep look.

  Luo Shangshu shuddered, a thought flashed through his mind, and he lowered his voice and said, "Does the old man think that the crown prince will leave Beijing and go to Jiangnan without permission?"

  The atmosphere of Dawei is more open than before, and it is common for women to travel on horseback. Four years ago, Lu Mingyu attacked the military camp to assassinate Yan Tuo with a sword, which is still a thing that people talk about with great relish.

   However, as the Crown Princess of the Wei Dynasty, it is still too bizarre and shocking to leave Beijing and go to Jiangnan without permission!

   Qiao Ge Lao did not speak.

  The carriage was quiet.

   At this time, palace lanterns were hung everywhere in the palace.

  Emperor Yongjia, who had not set foot in the Jiaofang Palace for several months, walked in with a solemn expression.
