The guy still refused to retreat, still worried about the origin of Qi Xiaoxian and the others, and was about to persuade again, when the prince spoke: "Okay, Ah Da, you have always been careful in handling things, I know." But don't be too suspicious and be careful. Let's go down. ”

Since the prince issued an eviction order, Ah Da didn't dare to stay any longer, so he had to retire according to his words.

He went out to the palace gate along the way he had come. Along the way, there were constantly palace people coming and going, and Ah Da had a very hard time dodging, although he was used to coming and going, but it was really troublesome.

Another group of patrol guards came, Ah Da was almost discovered, he hid among a bush, and couldn't help cursing in his heart: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really a little inexplicable. I don't know if there is anything to live in this palace, it is better to learn from the princess and move out of the palace, but I work hard every day in the province, and I have to avoid these damn patrol guards! ”

As he was cursing, the team of guards walked over, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly left the palace.

The "eldest princess" he said was Princess Changyun, the only daughter of the old emperor. Although she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, she was eccentric, very opinionated, and did not like to be restrained in the palace, so she begged the old emperor for a long time and moved out by herself.

The princess's mansion was built on a large scale, and she lived freely alone.

Now this Fenghuan Dynasty is the old emperor Liao Jinyan in charge, but it has been divided into two factions openly and secretly. One is the East Party, and the other is the West Party.

The Eastern Party is a faction headed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Liao Shuitian, which has the longest history in the imperial court, including Shang Shushilang, Imperial Shi Dafu and other dignitaries, as well as the rich gentry in the capital, which can be said to be full of talents and on the advantageous side.

The Western Party is a faction headed by the second prince Changkong. The second prince is a sibling brother of the same mother and father as Liao Qiufeng, and compared to other brothers and sisters in the palace, the two are always very friendly and close. It's just that when Liao Qiufeng was born, his mother died of dystocia, leaving him and Changkong in this deep palace compound.

Speaking of which, it is not unrelated to the weakness of the Western Party. The mother of Liao Shuitian, the leader of the East Party, is now the queen of the East Palace, and she is the daughter of the current cousin of the Wang family.

The Wang family is now the eldest in the cabinet, and Queen Wang is his daughter, and she has now given birth to the crown prince Liao Shuitian, and the strength of the Wang family in the court is intertwined, plus there are some friendships and marriages, etc., the Wang family is now deep-rooted, and its power cannot be underestimated for a while.

Since Liao Changkong's mother of the Western Party has died early, but when the woman was still alive, she was just the daughter of a small county order, and she had no power in the court.

Fortunately, the emperor was kind-hearted, and when he saw that the two children of Changkong and Qiufeng were still young, he couldn't bear to be secretly talked about by others as "poor children without a mother" since they were young, so he promoted a Zhaoyi several levels in a row, and took the title of Concubine Zhen, as the adoptive mother of Qiufeng and Changkong.

The autumn wind and the sky grew up under the care of Concubine Zhen. Now Concubine Zhen lives in the Xilan Palace, which is exactly opposite to the East Palace, one east and one west, which is the origin of the name of the East and West Party.

Concubine Zhen's father is Zhao Yun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry in the imperial court, and there is a son who works as a guard by Liao Changkong's side, and his background is not as strong as that of the Queen of the East Palace.

The Western Party and the Eastern Party want to compare, and they don't have much backing, so they have been at a disadvantage for a long time, and the crown prince Liao Shuitian often makes sarcastic remarks about the people of the Western Party openly and secretly, but at this time, there is no spark in the DPRK and China, and it is still calm.

At this time, Liao Changkong, the leader of the Naxi Party, was in Fenghui City, and he had already known about Qi Xiaoxian and his party coming to Beijing. He is not as arrogant as that Liao Shuitian, and his long-term disadvantage has made him develop the habit of thinking twice.

He was contemplating it at the moment, and the thought in his heart was that he would rather believe what he had than what he didn't. He beckoned, and several cyan figures came out of the shadows, like ghosts.

Changkong gently commanded a few words, and the figures nodded, without saying a word, and went out, acting separately.

Qi Xiaoxian suddenly woke up from his dream, and when he touched his forehead, he was already covered with cold sweat, he didn't care about anything else, raised his sleeve and wiped it gently, his heart was strangely tight.

It was early winter, and the weather was cold, but he was fine and sweaty.

Ruan Di on the side suddenly stopped breathing evenly, and Qi Xiaoxian suddenly felt a little guilty, knowing that he had woken her up.

"Di'er, what's wrong? But a nightmare? Qi Xiaoxian saw her lazily open her eyes, as if she was nothing, but the scene in her dream involuntarily appeared in her heart.

Ruan Di opened a pair of apricot eyes, and suddenly a few tears rolled down from her eyes, she looked at everything around her, gently leaned on Qi Xiaoxian's arms, and said vaguely: "Husband, I dreamed of something when I was in the Central Plains." Yiying ......"

Ruan Di couldn't say any more, and only leaned on Qi Xiaoxian's warm and generous chest, and sobbed quietly.

Touched by his heart, Qi Xiaoxian couldn't help but have tears in his eyes. He looked at Ruan Di in his arms, her little face was already covered with tears, like a poor and helpless kitten, soft and boneless, and he just wanted people to do their best to protect her, so that she would not be hurt in the slightest.

He opened his mouth, and finally made up his mind to suppress all the thoughts in his heart and bear it silently.

Ruan Di gradually stopped crying, and slowly fell asleep again in his arms, Qi Xiaoxian gently put her back on the pillow, and lay down in his clothes beside her, but he couldn't sleep anymore.

He was stunned by the memory of his dream. Ruan Yiying's little face, Qi Yun standing at the bow of the boat crying helplessly, chased after the murderer of the Fenghuan Dynasty......

It all felt like a dream, but it seemed like it had actually happened. Qi Xiaoxian was suddenly a little confused, he really hoped that all this was really just a dream, not only that, if it was this dream, this nightmare could wake up as soon as possible, how beautiful it would be!

It's a pity that the reality always backfires, Qi Xiaoxian was tossing and turning, and when he couldn't sleep anyway, suddenly there was a loud sound, and a white thing flew through the pane and flew into the room.

Qi Xiaoxian was a little apprehensive in his heart, although he had experienced this kind of occasion countless times, it stands to reason that he should have gotten used to it a long time ago. But Qi Xiaoxian knew.
