Chapter 297: Deliberation Before Departure
() Transfer day.
Xue Tan and Chang Lei changed into the clothes of an ordinary son, dressed up as a merchant, and prepared to march to Yangzhou.
During this period, a few guards pretended to be small workers and traveled with the car, which was not stated.
Inside the Qingmu Palace.
Qi Yuan came to Qingmu Palace early in the morning.
Yin Qingqi hadn't washed yet, and Peony was busy early, fetching water for her and buying noodles.
"Say hello to the crown prince."
Peony bowed down and greeted Qi Yuan.
"Hmm."
Qi Yuan nodded and went straight to the house.
"Peony, it doesn't have to be so cumbersome, anyway, I stay in the inner courtyard of this deep palace, and I don't go out, what do I do with such a foreign atmosphere?"
Yin Qingqi said to herself in front of a bronze mirror, but she didn't come in to Qi Yuan.
"I won't let you go out for your own good."
Qi Yuan sighed, this Yin Qingqi blamed himself instead.
"Qi Yuan?"
Yin Qingqi turned around and saw that the person who came turned out to be Qi Yuan, and immediately blushed.
Yin Qingqi was only wearing a white undershirt, and before she could change clothes and wash, she hurriedly got up and draped a piece of tulle on her body.
"Why are you here?"
"I'm here to discuss something with you."
Qi Yuan's eyes moved slightly, a touch of tenderness was in his eyes, and he sat beside Yin Qingqi carefully.
"Don't move."
Qi Yuan reached out and brushed Yin Qingqi's slippery hair and tossed it to his ear.
Yin Qingqi's face became more rosy, like a red fruit.
"Someone's here."
Yin Qingqi picked his chin and pointed to the peony that was busy outside the door.
"Afraid of what?" Qi Yuan smiled, the original nobility and seriousness on his face disappeared, and only a soft expression remained at this time.
"Seriously."
Qi Yuan coughed, silently staring at Yin Qingqi's fair and flawless face, but he was suddenly stunned.
And Yin Qingqi also looked at him curiously, waiting for his next step.
"What's wrong?"
"Not much, not much."
Qi Yuan also realized his gaffe.
"That's ......"
Qi Yuan frowned, and then said, "Do you remember what you told me before, the abnormal dream. ”
"Dreams?" Yin Qingqi thought bitterly, "Could it be that you're talking about the black cat?" ”
"That's right."
Qi Yuan nodded, "I asked Xue Tanxue."
General, he also had the same dream. ”
Yin Qingqi was stunned, and when he mentioned Xue Tan, for some reason, he was stunned.
Xue Tan hid for himself, and even hid in Yangzhou City, Yin Qingqi could not repay these kindnesses.
But for Qi Yuan, this Yin Qingqi, who was originally full of him, did not have such a deep love as before at this time, perhaps, there was less emotion, but more deliberate.
Yin Qingqi was worried every night about whether his decision to stay in the palace was correct.
Maybe you really should have listened to Xue Tan and flew away with him?
But Yin Qingqi's eyes can no longer accommodate Xue Tan, Yin Qingqi is still very clear about this, and Yin Qingqi doesn't want to delay Xue Tan's life because of his selfishness.
She doesn't love Xue Tan, but she doesn't love Qi Yuan in front of her so much.
Qi Yuan saw the strangeness in her eyes, thinking that she didn't have a good rest last night.
"What's wrong? Did you dream about it again last night? ”
Yin Qingqi came back to her senses and replied repeatedly, "No, no." ”
"Hmm." Qi Yuan nodded, and continued his reasoning.
"I've already asked the sixth master about this." Since the old gentleman entered the palace on an errand, he has no name, after entering the twelve o'clock, ordinary people call him with the name of the sixth master and the sixth master, and it is called down, and now Qi Yuan feels embarrassed, since he has stayed in the capital all his life, he is called the sixth master of Beijing, so as to distinguish it from those two and not speak with him.
"The sixth master said that he had also heard about this matter in the palace, and in the past, the two mothers fought with each other, and someone looked for the strange people in the Nanzhao area, and the lady who poisoned Huo was said to be what the good concubine had done."
"Concubine Liang."
When this name was mentioned again, Yin Qingqi was in a trance, and I have to say that Yin Qingqi also admired her courage to be with the sixth elder brother and not be afraid of the world.
"So I'm going to take you with me."
Qi Yuan looked at Yin Qingqi, seeking advice.
"Go to Nanzhao?" Yin Qingqi frowned, "It's too far away, this ......"
"I'll leave you alone in the capital, don't worry."
Qi Yuan persuaded with good words, "Besides, after I leave, it is naturally the sixth elder brother and Concubine Shu who are in power, and if they don't know what they will do to you, if you want to live in the Yin Hou Mansion, it is not impossible." ”
Yin Hou Mansion?
Although it was a solution, Yin Qingqi didn't want to bother the people there at this time.
Moreover, as Qi Yuan said,
The sixth elder brother and Concubine Shu will indeed do some things, but she is alone in the palace, no one to protect her, and she is easy to be targeted, and she doesn't want to burden the people of Yinhou Mansion.
"Okay."
Since this is the case, Yin Qingqi also had to follow.
"I'll go with you."
There was no trace of joy on Qi Yuan's face, as if he had known such an ending for a long time.
"You've already settled in, haven't you?"
Yin Qingqi looked at Qi Yuan's expression, and was a little annoyed in his heart.
"You would have guessed that I would say that?"
"It's not."
Qi Yuan looked at her angrily, she was so unreasonable, and she didn't know who she learned from.
"I just know that you are a well-informed person, besides, I don't feel at ease if I leave you here alone, and I definitely won't go."
"And it's just the two of us this time?"
Yin Qingqi didn't know what kind of answer she was expecting from him.
"No, there are Chang Lei and Xue Tan."
Xue Tan, sure enough.
"Because he had the same dream, besides, the martial arts are strong, the Nanzhao region is remote, what will happen if he can't keep it, with the two of them, it is good to take care of each other."
Yin Qingqi nodded thoughtfully.
"The capital is left to Concubine Shu, you are not afraid of ......"
Qi Yuan naturally understood what Yin Qingqi meant, "Of course I'm afraid, Concubine Shu seems to be knowledgeable, but she is very ambitious, and Sima Zhao's heart is well known to everyone, since the last incident of Concubine Liang, I have seen that she is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp." ”
"Concubine Shu and Sixth Elder Brother, will they collude together?"
Yin Qingqi asked tentatively.
Qi Yuan didn't speak, just quietly looked at Yin Qingqi in the bronze mirror in a daze.
"It's possible." After a while, Qi Yuan sighed, "What I'm most worried about is actually Huang Ama, now he is seriously ill in bed, and at this time he is left alone in the Yeting Palace, I am afraid that if something happens one day, as the crown prince is not around, it is really unfilial." ”
"Are you afraid that the sixth elder brother and Concubine Shu will do something to the emperor?"
Yin Qingqi frowned, with the incomprehensible temperament of the sixth elder brother, no one knew what he would do in order to compete for the throne.
"Why do you have to go? Isn't it okay to leave this to someone else? ”
"Nope." Qi Yuan said categorically, no one can refute it, "This matter is related to you, you must not delay, besides, if it is really as the sixth master said, I will also find out, who is so bold and reckless, dare to give the princess a trick!" ”
