The princess climbed my window again in the middle of the night

In the Hanyuan Hall, there was already a lot of crying, and there were many filial sons and virtuous grandchildren.

Even the fifth prince knelt in front of the couch and wiped away his tears. Seeing this, everyone wept even harder. Qin Ruoqian stood aside, showing no signs of pity. Only Zhang Zheng couldn't see it, and motioned her to make some gestures. .

No matter how heartless the emperor was, he was also her own father. Even if he didn't want to cry, he would cry twice because of his face.

Qin Ruoqian showed a rare embarrassment: "I want to cry, but I can't cry."

Zhang Zheng's cheeks twitched, and he kindly persuaded him: "Then you have to cry, won't you wail twice? Look at the fifth prince, how hard is he?"

There were bursts of crying in the hall, and it was hard to tell who was crying. The concubines were crying distressedly, and the pear blossoms were raining. Listen carefully, the fifth prince's voice is the loudest, and he is the one who works the hardest.

Hearing this, Qin Ruoqian took a second look and frowned, feeling ugly. He hadn't seen him so filial in the past, but today he was 'impressive'.

When the two were talking in a low voice, Lu Sixian trotted in, at first he was blocked by the palace guards from outside the hall, but he turned around and looked for Xiao Lin, before he could enter the hall.

As soon as he stepped into the hall, his footsteps were not steady, and he heard the fifth prince wailing: "Father..."

How to look at this battle, how sad.

She thought of the things in the book, the absurdity of the fifth prince was all because of the early death of his mother.Some people speculated that he was killed by the emperor, but the specific reason was not clarified.

Just based on this formation, it can be seen that the fifth prince is acting, and the person who has never seen each other in the past is crying a bit too much at this time.

Qin Ruoqian couldn't be found in the crowd, she was feeling puzzled, and pulled her into the dark with one hand.

It was Qin Ruoqian hiding in the corner.

After the two met, each settled down.Across the crowd, it was difficult to speak, and Lu Siqian couldn't express the question hidden in his heart. Instead, Qin Ruoqian held her hand, using his fingertip as a pen, and wrote in her palm.

After writing a few words, Lu Sixian frowned, she didn't know any of these words, how could she break it?

She had no choice but to hold Qin Ruoqian's hand instead, preventing him from continuing to write.Qin Ruoqian didn't know what she was thinking, but wanted to break free from her hand.

The hands hidden in the sleeves were fighting secretly, and the fifth prince, who had just finished crying, came and saw the tricks at a glance, "You two continue, be careful not to be ginseng."

Where did the promised filial daughter and virtuous son-in-law go?

Lu Sixian hastily let go of Qin Ruoqian's hand, not to hurt her reputation.

Qin Ruoqian is used to it. After all, she is not the emperor's own daughter, and it is precisely because of this that she can't cry.

Feeling that the task was over, the fifth prince rubbed his dry throat and asked her to prepare tea. Lu Sixian, who had nothing to do, kindly reminded her: "You don't need to drink tea at this time. Be careful and go with the Holy One."

The battle for the crown prince is not over yet, this is the most critical moment, no matter what kind of behavior they usually do, they will become a thorn in the side of others.

The fifth prince had a clear mind, thanked him, and continued to kneel in front of the dragon couch.

Soon after, everyone changed clothes for the emperor, and people outside set up a mourning hall.

The queen was lonely and silent, sitting on one side, her eyes were stained with sadness, and her figure became much thinner. After seeing this, Lu Sixian didn't know how to comfort her.

After living in captivity for many years, the two of them got along like a husband and wife, and they must have feelings.

The Ninth Prince, who was the latest to receive the news, almost rushed into the hall, and after seeing everyone, he quickly went to the dragon bed and cried loudly.

Lu Sixian guessed that he was not ready yet, and that Yu was still far away from the throne, so she quietly withdrew while he was entering the palace.

He summoned Qingzhu and prepared to send her to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to find out.

Su Jin hasn't shown her face so far, so she must still be in the mansion. The wedding is approaching, are you making preparations?

The Ninth Prince's Mansion is heavily guarded and it's not easy to break into it. Qingzhu got the topographic map of the mansion from Qin Ruoqian. It is impossible for anyone to be in the front yard, so it must be in the back yard.

Qin Chengzong had quite a few concubines, with or without status, there were countless of them, and it was difficult to find them.

Qingzhu had seen the topographical map, and when she wanted to enter the mansion, Lu Sixian called her and said: "Go to the porter and ask for some money, or make people squat at the back door and come forward when people come out. It's better to ask Ask the people in the kitchen, in order to know what the master likes, they will definitely ask in advance."

Qing Zhu took back her steps and called someone to wait.

Half an hour later, the servant came back and reported: "There are many concubines who are favored in the mansion, and even they don't know about it, but recently the Ninth Prince's courtyard has more food than usual, and the appetite is very good."

Lu Sixian heard some clues, and signaled Qingzhu to go and see the main courtyard first.

It happened to be a great funeral, and no one in the house dared to come out at will. The carriage was hidden in a hidden place, and no one noticed.

When it was almost dusk, Qingzhu returned empty-handed, extremely distressed: "The main courtyard is heavily guarded, with no fewer than 20 people, like guarding a treasure house, inaccessible."

This is expected, the hopeless people almost regard Su Jin as their last hope, so how can they let down their vigilance.

It was getting dark, the traffic was not developed at this time, and even the news spread slowly. The people still didn't know that the emperor had passed away, and they were still walking on the streets, carrying many new year's goods in their hands, and the peddlers peddled along the street.

Lu Sixian in the car was lost in thought, this time is the best opportunity, if you miss it, there will be no more.

She had to hurry up, and after thinking for a long time, she called Qingzhu and bowed her ear to give some instructions.

At night, at Haishi, the Jiuhuang Mansion was flooded, and the mansion was ablaze, and the servants rushed to put out the fire.

Looking from outside the gate of the mansion, the fire glowed red half the sky, and it was faintly burning to the gate of the mansion. The fire and shouts made the whole mansion restless.

Several mansions next door asked people to come out to inquire about this matter, the Ninth Prince was arguing endlessly with people in the palace.

After the emperor left, he did not leave a will.

After the funeral was arranged, the important ministers and the prince and princess knelt in the hall to watch the coffin. The queen went to the side hall to rest. I don't know who started the dispute.

The Ninth Prince was determined to win, so hearing this made him more confident, and clamored for Qin Ruoqian to hand over the power.

Usually, it was an open and covert battle between the princes and brothers, but this time it was suddenly replaced by siblings of the same mother. The rapid development of the matter was not to mention surprising, even the situation was very delicate.

The others remained silent, Er Xiang stood still, and the six ministers looked at the sky in silence.

Everyone stays out of the matter, Qin Ruoqian is also indifferent to answering, Lu Sixian is speechless and stagnant, Qin Chengzong loses the protection of Yu Wenxin, the protagonist, and his IQ is exposed, which shows the author's good intentions.

After arguing for half an hour, the servants in the outer room rushed to report: "His Royal Highness Ninth Prince, there is water in the house."

Qin Chengzong didn't have the energy to argue anymore, he gave everyone a hard look, and hurried out of Hanyuan Hall.

Only then did the hall quiet down.

Lu Sixian felt that he couldn't bear it, and keeping the spirit was not suitable for him, so he slipped out of the hall quietly while everyone didn't notice.

Wouldn't it be nice to go back to sleep in the middle of the night?

From the moment I woke up until noon the next day, it was quiet outside the hall, just like usual.

After dressing and washing, he went back to Hanyuan Hall again, and there was no sound there. When he went into the mourning hall to see, only the Fifth Prince was guarding him.

It's not considered guarding, it should be kneeling aside and dozing off. I don't know where everyone went last night.

Qin Ruoqian was not here, so there was no need to squat here, she went back to the side hall to look for the queen.

Things happened suddenly yesterday, and she hadn't asked the queen what she said was 'right and proper'.

There were quite a few people in the side hall, and a few little princes were catching up on sleep. They were young and no one was restraining them. At this moment, they were tired and weak, so they just lay down.

After some inquiring, I found out that the queen had returned to the central palace, and said back in the afternoon.

It is already afternoon, and the person has not returned yet, which means that she is obsessed with things.

On the way to the middle palace, the palace people were all dressed in plain clothes, bowing their heads and hurrying along.

The palace people in the middle palace knew her very well, so they opened the door to let her in, and kindly told her: "The seventh princess is here, talking to the empress, please wait a little longer."

In short, you can't get close.

There was no way to eavesdrop, so Lu Sixian could only stand in the courtyard and wait quietly. The front of the Winter Palace was a bit bleak, maybe the owner was in a bad mood and didn't bother to take care of it. The decayed and bleak branches and leaves fell to the ground and gradually became one with the soil.

After so many days, she still can't understand the queen. Such a person is like a calm ocean, and there are many things covered under the surface, which are unknown or unwilling to tell.

From beginning to end, the queen is one person.

After an unknown amount of time, when Lu Sixian's legs became numb, Qin Ruoqian slowly walked out from the palace gate.

The steps are steady, but slow.

His face was calm, but very depressed.

His stature was as old as before, but he seemed weak.

The conversation with the queen is bound to be unsatisfactory.

Lu Sixian hid herself behind a tree and did not lean over in time, but waited until Qin Ruoqian left the middle palace before she walked into the palace slowly.

The queen was dressed in plain clothes, and she was still looking at the void outside the window, with different emotions surging under her dull complexion, she approached slowly, "Is the covenant between the queen and the seventh princess broken?"

"She was already separated when she left Beijing. She wanted you, so the road to the throne is doomed to be bumpy. I made a fortune, she is the emperor's life, but you are..." The queen paused, not knowing what to do. After speaking, he turned around and looked at the person a few steps away with desolate eyes.

Short-lived phase.

Maybe her hexagrams are not working again, just like last year, overturning all previous calculations.

She is old and out of control.

The queen hesitated to speak, but Lu Sixian suddenly understood: "Short-lived?"

The queen was silent.

Lu Sixian smiled slightly, not as afraid as before, but felt calm, and said: "Is your hexagram a spirit? Don't curse me like this. I am your daughter after all. If you curse like this, be careful that no one will die. Tell me, you What did the seventh princess do? The death of the emperor should have something to do with you, right?"

The queen still followed the plot in the book and killed the emperor.

Everyone is happy.It's just a little early, which makes people unprepared.

The queen was amazed by her composure. Compared with before, Ah Yin has grown up, but unfortunately she is trapped by feelings.

She kindly persuaded: "I just did what I wanted to do. If she doesn't have the ability to calm down, you will have ups and downs in your life if you follow her. If she can't calm down, just be a princess honestly, and you will be peaceful all your life. Fish If you want to have both bear's paws, you must have this ability."

Lu Sixian felt that the queen was going back and forth between a normal person and a psychopath. The throne is such a big matter that life and death are at stake. This can also be tested?

After the test, I can't control the overall situation. If the development of the situation is out of my control, it's like the throne was finally given to Qin Chengzong, and everyone will die.

She said tiredly: "Yes, if she fails, I will kill Su Jin, and cry together."

The queen was displeased: "What does this matter have to do with Su Jin? What did you implicate her in?"

Lu Sixian sneered: "I'm willing, not only to kill her, I also let someone blow up Yunshan, Chad will have nothing left, rebuild a ghost."

After venting, I didn't want to look at the queen's face, turned around and walked out of the middle palace. Sure enough, the boss's thoughts were all abnormal, and without the author's control, they all started to fly.

Test what a fart, be careful that everyone is finished together.

The voice outside the Hanyuan Hall became louder, the courtiers gathered, and after mourning the emperor, they stood here. Once the emperor left, the government was in the hands of the seventh princess. They didn't know what the seventh princess was thinking, and heard about the dispute between the two sisters and brothers last night. , so the wind deviates from the Ninth Prince.

There are also a few little princes who don't know what to do. They guess that the seventh princess wants to have a baby and continue to control the government.

Everyone outside the hall whispered and whispered to each other, Zhang Zheng stood in front, closed his eyes and did not talk to anyone, many people came to talk, but he just replied that he didn't know.

If they ask too many questions, they will stop asking questions if they feel that they are not famous.

After the Seventh Princess came back, they all stood up and followed her back to the hall.

Everyone was waiting for her response. The matter was at the moment, and a reserve should be established urgently.

Qin Ruoqian was not in good spirits, so she didn't care to look at their faces, and said casually, "Do you have any suggestions?"

Everyone has been in the officialdom for a long time, and they know the elegant meaning after hearing the string song. As soon as she said this, she knew that she was not interested in the Ninth Princes, and most likely she wanted to support the little princes.

There are three little princes, the oldest is eight years old, the next is five years old, and one is only three years old, who can't speak fully. They look at each other and don't know which one the Seventh Princess likes.

The eight-year-old prince is obviously the best. The older one will be able to take charge of the government in a few years. The three-year-old is too young, but it is also because he is too young that he can be controlled.

They have different thoughts, Zhang Zheng is not calm anymore, the Seventh Princess has been planning so far, and she just gave up?

Everyone was there, and it was difficult to speak, but he wanted to ask but held back in time.

After waiting for a long time, there was no answer, so Qin Ruoqian ordered them to go back and think about it, and discuss it tomorrow.

The courtiers filed out, leaving only Zhang Zheng.

Zhang Zheng said bluntly: "Your Highness, is this giving up?"

Qin Ruo said with a slight smile: "The situation is difficult, and we have to prepare for the worst. Prime Minister Zhang should also go back and think about who should be established as emperor."

If you can still laugh at this time, it means that it is not the time to finally give up.Zhang Zheng understood that the emperor's departure was too sudden, and all his efforts would be in vain. He bowed and saluted: "I understand that it is better to establish the fifteenth prince at this time. His family is poor and young. You're only three years old, and you still have a chance to start over."

Qin Ruoqian nodded: "Gu also has this intention, we will decide tomorrow."

Zhang Zheng withdrew, sighing as he walked, man is not as good as God, at this time, it is hard, although the seventh princess can directly ascend the throne, but the people have many complaints, it is better to wait.

But according to the Seventh Princess' temperament, how can you give up and give up?

****

Lu Sixian had nothing to do, and walked back to the mourning hall, just in time to catch the fifth prince who was hiding in the dark and eating cakes.

There was no one around, so the fifth prince simply stuffed a piece into her hand, "Eat quickly, no food is allowed here."

"Don't eat it, you still eat it, a starving ghost reincarnated." Lu Sixian couldn't help complaining, and was dragged down by the fifth prince.

The two of them ate together like this, the night vigil was difficult, they were not allowed to sit, and had to kneel, especially in the emperor's region, there were many rules, and the fifth prince felt that he was in good shape after staying up all night young and strong, But he had nowhere to go.

The Ninth Prince was still able to go home to save people because the house was on fire, maybe a three- or five-year-old child would not be able to survive before he woke up, and the young people could tolerate it, but he was the only one who had to watch day and night.

Lu Sixian expressed pity for him, and returned his piece to him, comforting him: "Get a wife, and have more people take care of her."

The person who was so absorbed in eating raised his head and looked at her in surprise: "You must be fooling me. Who will marry a wife if nothing happens, and multiple people will take care of her? Then I might as well find a personal maid who will take good care of her."

Lu Sixian was right when he thought about it, there is no shortage of people to take care of the noble people in the sky, and besides, once the emperor is gone, it seems that he has to observe filial piety and cannot marry a wife.

Poor Qiying is so cute, he misses out on an outstanding older single man.

After the fifth prince had finished eating, he poured a large glass of water and regained his energy. Seeing Lu Sixian approaching so carelessly, he subconsciously felt that something was wrong: "The other sons-in-law have already returned to the mansion, why haven't you left yet?"

"The Seventh Princess is in the palace, where should I go?" Lu Sixian stood up, patted the dust off his body, calculated that it was almost time, and walked towards the imperial kitchen.

The fifth prince looked at her back and didn't quite understand what she said, Qin Ruoqian is in the palace, so she won't go home?

****

The emperor had a great funeral, and all the officials, headed by Zhang Zheng, were discussing the candidate for the new emperor after he came down to the palace.

Xiao Lin, who was guarding the palace gate, breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor was dead, but he was still the commander of the imperial guards, and there was no threat.

Once the emperor died, the old affairs of Yunshan disappeared, and no one would mention it.

However, Qin Ruoqian ordered the Ministry of Rites to add the matter of Yunshan to the history books at this time. There is an unwritten rule in history books. Most of the history books only remember the good and not the bad. The past events of Yunshan are too cruel.

Zhou Wenqing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, paused. Facing what the Seventh Princess said, he fell silent.

Qin Ruoqian no longer smiled as usual, and looked up coldly: "Who is talking about the rules every day, and now acts according to the rules, and Zhou Shangshu refuses again, and the official hat on your head may also vary from person to person."

Women's governance is the last thing Zhou Wenqing wants to see. He has opposed it before, but the effect is not great.Now that he has taken over such a difficult task, he concluded that it was the Seventh Princess who made things difficult on purpose.

He said angrily: "Your Highness uses this to coerce the minister, but it is public revenge."

Qin Ruoqian said: "There are many witnesses to this matter. Qi State Duke Lu Jue and Imperial Guard Commander Xiao Lin are all witnesses. Feng Xiandi did what he wanted, and it's making things difficult. If you don't believe it, you can call them to ask."

Lu Jue and Xiao Lin were the emperor's servants all his life. Zhou Wenqing knew about it when he entered the court. He didn't believe that people would expose the scandal by himself, so he said straightforwardly: "You can invite two people to come. The minister must know what happened before he can write."

Qin Ruoqian waved his hand and asked people to invite Lu Ting, and even Xiao Lin also invited them.

Zhou Wenqing was uneasy, the Seventh Princess sitting here was as quiet as a cold lake.

It was Xiao Lin who arrived first, and he didn't know what happened when he entered the palace. After seeing Zhou Wenqing, he felt at ease.

After waiting for a while, Lu Ting came in big strides, dressed in black with no accessories, calm and capable, in the eyes of everyone, he was a tall and straight soldier.

When Lu Teng entered the hall, he first presented the memorial, bowed his head and said, "I come to plead guilty."

Zhou Wenqing's eyelids twitched, and Qin Ruoqian motioned for the servant to hand him the memorial.

After flipping through it, I was horrified and shocked. The words on the paper were full of blood, killing, and innocence.

He held the flimsy paper, but couldn't say a word. The rumors outside were not false but true, not even as cruel as the truth. After closing the memorial, he looked at Lu Ting for a long time: "Mr. Go down, they treat you like brothers, but you wield a knife."

Xiao Lin was shocked, and hurriedly took back the memorial, and it was even more shocking when he touched the word "Yunshan". He pointed at Lu Ting and cursed: "You are crazy, this matter is not yours and mine's willingness, the Holy Majesty's will, how can you refuse, you come now Plead guilty, take the big crime, have you ever thought about your wife and children."

If you want to die, you die, why bother my Xiao family.

He can't wait to go forward and draw his sword to kill Lu Ting, the scourge. The emperor is dead, so why bring it up again.

Qin Ruoqian quietly watched the two brothers turn their eyes. The calmness in the brows and eyes was like the rainwater in the green mountains, which was a bit heavy, but Zhou Wenqing felt that his eyes became more and more cloudy, and he couldn't see clearly.

He took back the memorabilia and handed it to the servant. He knelt down in front of Qin Ruoqian and bowed down to worship: "Your Highness, I am old, and I still hope that I will let him go home outside the palace."

But Qin Ruoqian refused: "Zhou Shangshu is always strong, so it's better to wait for this matter and then retreat."

As soon as he left, no one dared to pick up the hot potato. Even if he wanted to retire, he had to add the Tushan incident to the late emperor's deeds.

Zhou Wenqing trembled all over, but he didn't know what to do. On the contrary, Xiao Lian saluted and said loudly: "Your Highness, if this matter is made public, Your Majesty can just..."

But the reputation is ruined.

Qin Ruoqian ignored his yelling, and looked at Lu Ting: "Whether you have obeyed the imperial edict or not, you should be removed from the title of Duke of this country. As for the Tongzhou camp, you will be in charge first."

Wait until you find a suitable candidate before making a plan.

Lu Ting didn't resist, but instead saluted Xiao Lin's heart trembling. Before he could speak, he heard Seventh Princess say: "As for Commander Xiao..."

Hesitant to speak, the most frightening.

Qin Ruoqian fell silent, Xiao Lin's breath was like a year.

In the end, Qin Ruoqian sighed, "Just like Commander Xiao said, if you receive the imperial decree, you dare not disobey it. It's not your fault. It's better to pay off your merits and rebuild Yunshan."

His life was saved, but his military power was gone.Xiao Lin felt dissatisfied, but the matter had come to this point, Lu Ting confessed everything, and he was not given a chance to argue at all.

Half an hour later, Zhang Zheng wrote the sentence, and the decree was issued on behalf of Hanyuan Hall.

Everyone was shocked, but they didn't dare to disobey. People were more concerned about who would get the post of commander of the imperial guards.

At dusk, Lu Sixian took the food box and stepped into the Hanyuan Hall step by step.

Everyone in the palace had almost left, and the servant, who was only serving, went over to take the food box from her hand.

"No, no, I'll come by myself and get out." Lu Sixian hugged his own food box, waved the people out.

Qin Ruoqian was so busy that she saw that she was carrying a heavy food box and was walking slowly like an old man. She also thought it was funny, so instead of going to help, she stared at her with her chin on her hands: "Please buy me some food!" What?"

Lu Sixian put down the food box, panted with his hips on his hips, and stared at the leisurely people: "Four dishes and one soup, a feast full of Chinese and Chinese."

"Is it delicious?" Qin Ruo pursed the corners of her lips, remembering the hot pot she made, which was delicious and novel in style, and said, "How about having hot pot tonight?"

People who had been busy all afternoon jumped their feet: "No, I have been doing it for so long, but you are thinking about hot pot, do you have the heart?"

If I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have pitied this woman. Wouldn't it be nice to sleep all afternoon by myself?

Qin Ruoqian felt very innocent: "How about I make hot pot for you?"

Lu Sixian was dumbfounded: "Can I eat it?"

Qin Ruoqian: "..." You can't eat anywhere
