Li Daitao

The two walked out of the pavilion all the way, and the palace servants were removing the lights and setting off fireworks in the dark.

All of a sudden, countless strange flowers bloomed in the night sky, and they suddenly appeared, suppressing the moonlight a bit.

"This is also brought out from the capital by Emperor Qing." Yi Zhen pulled Qin Shu, stopped to look at it for a while, and smiled at Qin Shu: "Speaking of it, this is the second time we watch the fireworks together. "At the time when the two fled in embarrassment, he didn't have the nerve to say more.Being able to look at each other hand in hand now is also a matter of satisfaction.

When Qin Shu first saw this scene, he seemed to vaguely see some cause and effect in the dark, and his heart was full of emotions.He didn't speak for a while.

Yi Zhen saw that he looked tired, so he sympathized with his tiring journey, and only said that the New Year was much more lively than this Cong, and it would not be too late to see him then, so he took him back to his residence.

After all, it was half a day's journey, and Qin Shu couldn't resist being sleepy, and when he fell asleep with a lot of things on his mind.

Yi Zhen stayed by the side but was inexplicably excited, he couldn't help imagining over and over again what he would say in detail when he met the old concubine tomorrow.Tossing so contentedly until most of the night before falling asleep.It was rare on the second day and it didn't delay him getting up early.

He woke up early, quietly staring at Qin Shu's peaceful sleeping face for a long time, intoxicated, and couldn't help but recall the words he had thought up yesterday.At this moment, his mind calmed down a little, so he felt that the prepared speech was not very appropriate, and he was afraid that it would embarrass Qin Shu.

Yi Zhen thought about it, but he didn't feel sleepy anymore.Afraid of waking Qin Shu up, he didn't even dare to turn over.He simply put on his clothes and got up, and when he turned around and saw Qin Shu still sleeping soundly, he unconsciously smiled and walked out of the room.

His original intention was to find someone to discuss with, and the person who could talk and have the most weight was naturally Qingdi first.When he walked out the door, he realized that it was only the early morning, and the so-called skylight was just the afterglow of the moon when it was setting, and it was really not the time to disturb.

Then he was impatient, wishing he could make sure everything was ready immediately.At this time, he was unwilling to go back to sleep again, the apricot garden where Emperor Qing lived was some distance away, he walked slowly, and if he waited for a while, it must be almost there.

Along the way, guards and guards on patrol met him, although they felt a little strange, when they saw that it was Yan Zihou, it was not easy to ask more questions, and let him pass by.Xingyuan is naturally heavily guarded, but he only said that he came to pay his respects to the emperor, even though it was too early, the guards from the outer court did not dare to stop him.

It wasn't until he walked outside the corridor of Xingyuan that Yi Zhen realized that something was wrong.

It must have been a beautiful scene last night, but at this time, there was a faint light in the east wing room.Even in the palace, no one got up so early.

The little eunuch who was supposed to be guarding and waiting for orders was not seen at the door, but Ruyi stood there instead.Seeing him at this time, Ruyi, who always greeted people with a smiling face, couldn't help but show some surprise.After thinking for a while, he waved to Yi Zhen and led him aside.

Yi Zhen didn't feel comfortable making mistakes, and looked at Ruyi inquiringly.

"Commander Zheng has just arrived and is talking to His Majesty inside." Ruyi gestured with her hands, then returned to her usual smiling face, and said softly. "Master Hou also knows His Majesty's temper, and has always refused to delay."

Yi Zhen's heart skipped a beat, he naturally knew the person Ruyi said.He is just a member of the imperial army, and his official position is not high, but he is capable in handling affairs, and is highly valued by Emperor Qing.

"Could it be something happened in Jingli?"

"This slave doesn't know." Ruyi's eyes flashed slightly, and she didn't elaborate.Seeing that Yi Zhen's expression grew, he said a few words of comfort instead. "The servant just saw the situation of His Majesty and Commander Zheng, and it's nothing serious."

Yi Zhen still had doubts in his heart.Qingdi never indulged in fun, it was rare that he came out to relax this time.If it's an ordinary matter, someone who is not open-eyed will come to disturb at such a time.What's more, the person who came here is a commander of the Imperial Army, who is usually responsible for guarding the palace and assisting Dali Temple in managing the security of the capital.

At the moment, he was noncommittal about what Ruyi said, but it was about serious business, so it was not easy for him to break in like this.After thinking for a while, he quietly went around under the window beside him.Ruyi was in a hurry and dared to tug on his sleeve, but he ignored him and put his ear to the window.

Yi Zhen did this not out of curiosity, but because he also wanted to relieve Emperor Qing's worries.Moreover, regarding the matter of Qin Shu, he was very grateful to Emperor Qing and wanted to repay him a little.

Commander Zheng talked a lot in it, and Emperor Qing only asked a few words occasionally, both of them spoke calmly, as if it really wasn't an important matter.It seems to be talking about the defense in the capital.During the New Year's Eve, the integrity of the city must be strengthened. On the one hand, while singing and dancing to promote peace, it is also necessary to guard against nightclubs who take the opportunity to make trouble. This has its own practice, and it is not unusual at all.

At this point the conversation came to an end.Commander Zheng was talking in detail about who was causing trouble everywhere, how many people were detained in Dali Temple, and so on. Guang Yizhen heard no less than a dozen incidents at this time.

At the beginning, Yi Zhen didn't think there was anything wrong, but after listening to a few words, he gradually sorted out the context, and it became coherent. These things seemed to be coordinated by someone inside and outside, and they had already premeditated and agreed to weave them into a big vague net.Most of the places where the accident happened were street fairs, so it couldn't be said how serious it was, but as long as one of them was not dealt with properly, it would be enough to make a chaotic situation uncontrollable within a certain area.

At the same time that his mind suddenly became clear, another thought came up, but it was vague before he could grasp it and figure it out, then it disappeared in a flash.That feeling of powerlessness is depressing.Unconsciously, Yi Zhen leaned forward slightly, never wanting to hit the window sill with a bang.

Although the sound was soft, it startled the two of them.

Emperor Qing shouted, "Who?"

Another person has already rushed over and pushed open the window.

Yi Zhen had nowhere to hide at this moment, so he could only touch his forehead with one hand and forced a smile: "It's me."

Commander Zheng saw clearly that it was him, and was a little taken aback, his expression of ready-to-go was relaxed, but he didn't show any expression.He lowered his head and called Lord Hou.

Behind him, Emperor Qing's eyes were slightly sullen, and he was already staring at his face, and asked Pingping: "You came here early in the morning, but you didn't go in, what are you doing sneakily outside?"

Yi Zhen didn't know how ugly his face was at the moment, he twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled, and said calmly, "I'm here to pay your respects to Your Majesty."

Saying so, the man was still standing straight.

Emperor Qing glanced at him, and when he spoke again, his voice was calm: "Since you're here, come in."

Yi Zhen had time to relax, and took this opportunity to ask: "What happened in the capital yesterday..."

"It's just a few subtle works by Di Yi." Emperor Qing interrupted. "Aside from adding some unhappiness to people, nothing else can make a big wave."

Yi Zhen was blocked by this, but couldn't ask what to say next.Qingdi's tone seemed to be casual, but he could hear the faint displeasure in it.But Cong bit the bullet and asked again: "Has Your Majesty expected this for a long time?"

Seeing him asking the truth, Emperor Qing raised his eyes and smiled at him indifferently, his eyes seemed to be ridiculed, but there was also a little pity.He didn't want Yi Zhen to know his original intention, and breaking through at this time can only be said to be God's will.

Yi Zhen shook his head and said to himself: "If Your Majesty knew this earlier, how could he leave Beijing without worry?"

"There is still a crown prince sitting in the capital, he should learn to do something, even if it doesn't work, there are also a group of important ministers, tens of thousands of forbidden troops, and there will be no idiots, so there is nothing to worry about." Emperor Qing saw through him. Willing to deceive yourself. "If you stay in Beijing, how dare these young people come out in full force."

"...Fortunately, it is a blessing to be able to wipe out all these hidden dangers in one go." Qing Emperor saw that he had just changed the subject, but saw him standing there in a daze, quite distraught.After a slight pause, he spoke again and changed the subject. "Speaking of going out of Beijing, I really want to be quiet for two days. As for whether someone will be impatient last night, it's not something I'm sure of."

Seeing that Yi Zhenxuan was there, Emperor Qing didn't know what to say, so he ignored him.Instead, he gave a few instructions to Commander Zheng, and ordered him to return to the palace to assist the prince.Yan Bi waved his hands towards the two of them. "If nothing else, go down."

How could Yi Zhen have the mood to mention how to deal with the old concubine, and he resigned with Commander Zheng.I just feel dizzy in my mind, he is in the middle of the game, so he is naturally confused.It is still very hard to believe the meaning of Qingdi's words.He also thought that with Emperor Qing's disposition, if he really questioned Qin Shu's involvement in this matter, how could he be extra lenient just because of himself.

This is something he didn't quite understand, but at this moment he used it to comfort himself.I still couldn't help thinking wildly in my heart, and it was difficult to be at peace for a moment.

At this time, the sky was getting brighter, Commander Zheng was walking beside him, seeing that he was silent, it was really weird, so he wanted to find something to say.At this time, consciously or unintentionally, I remembered something, and said suddenly: "Last night, another daring thief broke into the Hou's mansion. I wonder if the mansion is safe?"

Yi Zhen stopped suddenly, his face turned livid.Many things finally came together from beginning to end.He is a fan of the authorities, so with Emperor Qing's mind, these many clues must have been thought of on Qin Shu, and he is the only one who has been kept in Pengli!

Yi Zhen said grimly at Commander Zheng, "Your Majesty entrusted the defense of Central Beijing to Your Excellency, and the Snitch has entered the Marquis's mansion. Your Excellency has nothing to do with it! Still have the face to ask this Marquis?"

The mansions of princes and marquises are usually guarded by their own soldiers. Ordinary thieves and assassins will be more than sufficient. If it is not for them to ask for help or the order of the superiors, otherwise the imperial army will not intervene for nothing.

Commander Zheng was blocked by Yi Zhen unreasonably at this time, and he had nothing to say.Seeing that his complexion was not good, he could only restrain his temper and admit his mistake in a low voice without making any distinctions.

Yi Zhen couldn't find anything wrong with Commander Zheng, he had nowhere to vent his anger, he snorted bitterly, and walked away.
