We stood in the pavilion and watched the shaking carriage disappear at the end of the road before everyone got on their own carriage and walked back.
The carriage was shaking, accompanied by the monotonous sound of wheels, which made the people in the carriage drowsy. I watched Chang Qing slowly close her eyes several times, thinking that she was asleep, but the next moment, I could hear her deep and long sigh.
It seemed that the heavy feeling in her heart had already made her lose the right to rest.
After entering the palace gate, we got off the carriage. Although someone carried the sedan chair to pick it up, Chang Qing refused to take the sedan chair and asked to walk back slowly by himself. Of course, we were not able to say anything, so we could only accompany her and walk behind her. After a while, we were about to reach the fork in the branch road, Fu Badai was about to take Chabixing back to Jixian Palace. I was about to say hello to them, but suddenly I saw Chang Qing stopping, looking at the other side, and then laughed and said, "Master Taifu is going to go back to Jixian Palace."
The two of them hurriedly looked at Chang Qing respectfully: "Yes."
"It just so happens that I am tired too and am about to go to Jixian Palace to take a look."
“…”
"Let's go."
Not only was Fu Badai and the others stunned for a moment, but when I saw Chang Qing walking towards the other side so openly, no one dared to be negligent, and they hurriedly followed.
In fact, after all the way back, I could feel that she was in a low mood. After all, the only relative left now, and even the prince was not around. The feeling of being alone at this time would be very lonely and helpless. Perhaps it was because of this that she was less and less willing to return to Jingren Palace? Or was it that after the departure of the People, she immediately went to Jixian Palace, which was of some special significance?
Fu Badai asked Chabixing to rush back to clean up first. When we arrived at Jixian Hall, incense had already been lit in the room. After a while, a servant served hot tea.
Chang Qing sat down and took a sip. Only after a little heat and rosy regained the pale face.
She looked up and looked at us standing aside, and said, "Sit all."
"Thank you for the Empress to give the throne."
Chabixing helped Fu Badai sit down, but he still stood obediently behind the teacher. I looked at him and he squeezed his eyes at me.
I couldn't help laughing.
At this time, Chang Qing said, "I'm here to disturb the Grand Tutor today."
"I dare not know that the Empress is coming and has not been prepared properly. It is because the old minister has neglected it."
Chang Qing smiled faintly, and then said, "Actually, I have wanted to come to Jixian Palace to take a look, but I just don't have time to do it. The knowledge I have learned in the past few years has increased a lot, and it is all due to the Taifu."
"I dare not, I dare not."
"This future path," Chang Qing paused suddenly, and then smiled, "I hope the Grand Tutor can give more guidance to the prince."
These words made everyone stunned.
Fu Badai may not be as dedicated to Pei Nianshen, but he has spent so many years in Beijing. It is a bit surprising that Chang Qing suddenly talks about this.
However, Fu Badai still smiled calmly: "Please rest assured Empress. This time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was managing the water in Henan Road. I heard that he was very diligent. The local people also praised His Royal Highness, saying that His Royal Highness has the spirit of a benevolent person."
Chang Qing said: "The prince is kind-hearted, and I am deeply relieved, but I am really worried."
Fu Badai said: "What are the Empress worried about?"
"I'm worried about the prince's temperament, so I'm too kind."
“…”
"Besides, outside the palace, it is different from the palace. The winds in the southeast, west and north are not known. There is a sword in the wind. The prince is still young. In fact, I feel a little uneasy when I let him go out for training at such a young age. Besides, it's not too long now, so it's time to let him come back."
Fu Badai listened quietly and smiled at this time: "The Queen and the Emperor will be fine as soon as they talk about this."
Chang Qing smiled faintly: "It's not that I have said it, but these emperors are too busy. I hope the Grand Tutor will also say to the Emperor, "The Emperor always obeys the Grand Tutor."
"This, the old minister dares not. The old minister obeys the order of the Empress."
"Then I will thank the Grand Tutor."
After saying that, Chang Qing took another sip of tea. Perhaps it was because of the hot tea that made her complexion slightly better. She chatted with Fu Badai for a few more words, then got up and said goodbye. But when she got up, she saw that I was hesitant and smiled and said, "Glowing, please stay here. Your master and disciple must have something to say, so you don't have to accompany me."
I hurriedly said, "Thank you, Empress."
She smiled and turned around and left.
Several of us kept sending her out of Jixian Hall. Looking at her and her servants' slowly moving backs, Fu Badai and I didn't say anything for a while. Instead, we stared at her tiptoe for a while before turning back: "What does this Queen mean today?"
I looked at Fu Badai. Although his eyes couldn't see, he was also looking far away at this moment, as if he could see farther and think further.
I said, "What did the teacher think."
Fu Badai stopped for a moment, ignored us, turned around and walked in. Qi Bixing hurriedly went up to support him, and then he heard him slowly say, "I can't even see through this, do you still want to ask me?"
Cha Bixing and I looked at each other and said, "Tai Shi Chang was just sued by Cha Bixing. Today I left the capital and returned home. The Empress will come to Jixian Hall immediately. This is naturally to show goodwill to us and no longer pursue the previous complaints."
“…”
"And, Your Highness——"
I think everything she did was for the prince, just like what she told me that in the future, she would go as far as she could accompany the prince. As soon as Bai left, although Wu Yanqiu got up, she still lacked qualifications for Nangong Jinhong after all. As for Bai Bixing, he was inevitable to enter the officialdom. Even Bai Bai said that he had a bright future in the future, so Chang Qing naturally wanted to bring in the group of people from Jixian Palace.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Today I will show my goodwill to Fu Badai and Chabixing, which is very meaningful to Nianshen’s future path.
However, I remembered what she just said. She hoped that Fu Badai would tell Pei Yuanhao that she would not be able to practice outside anymore and would rather return to the palace as soon as possible.
Could it be...
At this time, we had already left back. Chabixing helped Fu Badai into the house. As soon as he sat down, I said softly: "Crown Prince, is there any danger outside?"
Fu Badai said: "As the crown prince of the country, he will naturally be in danger at all times. Even if he returns to the palace, he may not be safe."
"However, I look at the queen just now, it seems that things are not that simple."
"oh?"
I suddenly remembered something again and turned to look at Chabixing: "I just said a few words to the queen before the Grand Master left. Have you heard anything?"
Chabixing nodded indeed: "I heard it."
“What are you talking about?”
He thought for a while and said, "He seemed to ask the queen to be careful of someone... Uh, speaking of it, he seemed to really mention the prince."
"oh?"
My spirits immediately became refreshed and I became a little nervous.
Chang Qing left a message before leaving, and then Chang Qing took the initiative to go to Jixian Hall to tell Fu Badai about those things. If it were just ordinary trivial matters, they would not be valued so much.
I murmured: "The prince is in Henan. Henan..."
Just as I was mumbling, Chabixing said again: "The officials in the imperial court were assassinated in Shaanxi, and these two sides are very close."
He seemed to say something casually, but I felt something was wrong vaguely, so I looked up at him: "What?"
He smiled: "Don't Miss find it interesting? The officials of the court were assassinated in Shaanxi before, and it is said that the official's behavior was very hidden, and outsiders didn't know it at all. To be honest, Xichuan didn't know it at all, but he was killed and almost framed it to the people of Xichuan. Now, His Royal Highness is in Henan to control the water in Henan, and he was originally going to go out of the palace to experience it, but the Grand Tutor - Oh no, when Mr. Chang left, he mentioned this matter to the queen. The Queen ran to Jixian Palace and asked the teacher to ask the emperor to order the prince to return to Beijing because she was worried that he was in danger..."
My brows were tightened, and something was vaguely bubbled in my heart.
I said, "You can make it clearer!"
Chabixing smiled and said, "To be clear, that is, these two places are very close to Shanxi."
My heart thumped and my breathing paused.
Shanxi...Taiyuan...
Gongsun Shu, the Hou of Jin!
The sickly and pale face suddenly appeared in my mind. It was at the wedding of Qinghan and Pei Yuanzhen that I met this Jin Hou and his son Gongsun Qi for the first time. Although Gongsun Shu inherited the title from his old father, and because of his long-term lingering bed, the title was handed over to his son, but the title was not passed on to his son. Gongsun Qi was also an uncrowned "marquis" in Taiyuan.
However, although I only saw them for the first time at that wedding, it was not the first time I heard their reputation at that time.
Earlier...
It was in the Jinling Prefecture, in Pei Yuanxiu's meeting hall, and I saw many letters, one of which was a letter written by the Marquis of Jin to Pei Yuanxiu.
No, it is not just the Marquis of Jin.
There is also the Yuan family in Runan, who was also seen at the wedding. The one who looked smart and exposed, and even had a somewhat cunning appearance! He has a considerable influence in Henan!
Like the Duke of Jin, Gongsun Shu and others, he had letters with Pei Yuanxiu!
Could it be—
My breathing was suffocated, and I looked up at Fu Badai. When I spoke, my voice changed slightly: "Teacher, you probably want to submit a memorial soon. Please give me an order immediately to recall His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to the capital."
