Quick Wear: Bai Yueguang perfectly interprets the success of saving the world
Chapter 54 Princess (53)
The capital city was calm before a storm, but the turbulent waves in secret were unknown to outsiders.
Three days later, everything was ready, but unexpectedly Jiang Huaixu came to the princess's mansion suddenly.
Yan Qing paused holding the chess piece. She was playing chess with herself before the secret guard at the gate came to report. When she heard that Jiang Huaixu was outside the mansion gate asking for a meeting, she said in a cold tone, "No."
After receiving the reply, the secret guard went out to reject Jiang Huaixu.
After everyone left, Fu Yun spoke up, "Your Highness, isn't it a coincidence that the King of Zhenbei is here at this time?"
Yan Qing placed a piece on the chessboard before saying, "Whether he knows something or not, we can't stop now that it has come to this."
Hearing this, Fu Yun's eyes turned indifferent and he said nothing more.
However, after a while, the secret guard who had just left came back. After bowing, he replied, "Your Highness, the King of Zhenbei is reluctant to leave. He asked his subordinates to bring a message to Your Highness."
Yan Qing frowned slightly and asked, "What?"
The secret guard raised his head and repeated word by word, "He said, Aqing, don't you want to know the truth about your father and brother's death?"
After saying this, he lowered his head, not daring to look at Yan Qing's expression.
Everyone knows how Her Royal Highness Princess Di was adopted by the royal family. What the King of Zhenbei said clearly means that there is another hidden story behind General An's death.
Yan Qing's face was indifferent, making it impossible to see her true thoughts. After a moment, she said, "Let the King of Zhenbei come in."
"Yes."
The secret guard immediately retreated and went to ask for help.
Fu Yun's eyes narrowed after hearing what the secret guard said. He said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, I'm afraid there is a trick."
Yan Qing said calmly, "I know, but since he has brought up my father and brother, I should meet him and see what he wants to say."
Yan Qing's tone was indifferent, and she didn't seem to care about the truth that Jiang Huaixu said, but Fuyun always felt a little uneasy.
But before he could say anything, the secret guard brought Jiang Huaixu over, so Fuyun had to suppress the uneasiness in his heart.
On this side, Jiang Huaixu's eyes lit up with a smile when he saw Yan Qing. His voice was deep and magnetic: "Ah Qing, we meet again."
Yan Qing looked into his smiling eyes, put down the chess piece in his hand and asked, "What did the prince mean by what he said just now?"
Jiang Huaixu was in no hurry to talk about that. He looked at the chessboard with interest and said, "Ah Qing, we haven't played chess for a long time. How about we play against each other today?"
Yan Qing's eyes moved slightly as he heard the message in Jiang Huaixu's words. He already knew that Pei Shiyu was going to take action today. Now he came here to fight not only on the chessboard but also in reality.
Yan Qing no longer asked what the truth was that Jiang Huaixu had said before. Of course, he had to save his trump card for last.
She picked up the black and white pieces on the chessboard and put them back into the chess box. After putting away all the pieces, she pushed the chess box containing the black pieces to Jiang Huaixu: "Your Highness, please."
Jiang Huaixu took out a black chess piece and placed it steadily on the chessboard. Yan Qing followed closely and placed a piece.
To outsiders, the atmosphere between the two seemed unusually harmonious, as if it was just a game of chess between ordinary friends to kill time.
But every time the black and white chess pieces are placed on the chessboard, there is a hidden murderous intention, determined to find an opportunity to devour the opponent.
Outside the princess's mansion, there was a noise and the sound of weapons clashing, but the two people playing chess seemed not to notice anything and continued to play chess one after another.
Until the noises gradually subsided, the situation on the chessboard became clear.
Jiang Huaixu looked at the black piece that had been surrounded and killed. He sighed and put the black piece in his hand back into the chess box: "I am always one step behind you."
As if Jiang Huaixu's words had brought back memories, Yan Qing's eyes showed a hint of smile, but upon closer inspection, it was just superficial: "The situation is still uncertain, why did Brother Huaixu say that."
Jiang Huaixu suddenly smiled, and said vaguely, "Yes, the situation is still uncertain, and it is still unknown who will win."
Yan Qing's smile continued, but she did not respond to Jiang Huaixu's words. She just played with the white chess piece in her hand.
The atmosphere became a little stagnant for a moment.
The smile on Jiang Huaixu's face slowly faded, his eyes were as deep as the abyss: "Ah Qing, do you really have to fight to the death?"
Everyone in the court knew that he and Pei Shiyu were enemies and fought each other, but he had never taken Pei Shiyu seriously. Without Aqing's help, Pei Shiyu would be nothing, and his real opponent was only Aqing.
Yan Qing said in a gentle tone: "I don't want to do this either, but Brother Huaixu refuses to retreat, so I have no choice."
Hearing this, Jiang Huaixu's eyes darkened, and he whispered, "Ah Qing, the royal family has long been rotten to the core. Have you ever doubted the death of your father and brother?"
Yan Qing held Bai Zi's hand tightly, and the gentle smile in her eyes disappeared: "What do you want to say?"
Jiang Huaixu told Yan Qing everything he had found out and what Xu Zhuang had said. Only after he finished did he ask, "Do you still want to help Pei Shiyu?"
Yan Qing closed her eyes, unwilling to believe Jiang Huaixu's words. She said sternly, "That's nonsense. Why should I believe you?"
Having said that, her tone sounded trembling uncontrollably.
Jiang Huaixu had long expected that Ah Qing would not easily believe his words, but he still felt a slight pain in his heart.
He was silent for a while and then said, "I brought someone to see you."
Without waiting for Yan Qing's reaction, he made a gesture to the back, and Jingzhe, who was hiding in the dark, immediately brought someone up.
Seeing that person, Yan Qing stood up, her pupils shrank slightly: "Eunuch Hai?"
The fat white eunuch stepped forward and said politely, "Yes, I am your servant. I pay my respects to Your Highness."
Jiang Huaixu said coldly: "Tell Ah Qing everything you know."
When Haikang looked at Yan Qing, the emotions hidden in his eyes were extremely complicated, but thinking of what His Majesty had said before he died, he still told Yan Qing the truth in detail.
When Pei Zhuo died, Haikang was originally prepared to be buried with Pei Zhuo, but was rejected by Pei Zhuo. At the same time, Pei Zhuo also told him one thing, which was this matter.
He said: "If someone comes to look for you, please tell this to my dear. If no one comes to look for you, please spend your whole life looking for the imperial tomb for me."
Although Haikang didn't know why, he still did it. After Pei Zhuo was buried in the imperial mausoleum, he stayed there to keep vigil for him. And Di Ji never set foot in the imperial mausoleum again since then.
Haikang originally thought that this matter would never see the light of day until his death. After all, he handled it very cleanly when he investigated it, leaving no traces. He never thought that Jiang Huaixu would send someone to look for him, and the matter was eventually brought to light.
Yan Qing looked at Haikang and asked inexplicably: "Is everything you said true?"
"I swear on my life that I will not lie even a little bit."
The chess piece in Yan Qing's hand fell to the ground suddenly. She seemed not to notice it and just stood there in a daze.
Seeing this, Jiang Huaixu asked worriedly: "Aqing, how are you?"
Yan Qing came back to her senses after hearing Jiang Huaixu's words. She dodged Jiang Huaixu's hand and took a deep breath. She said in a hoarse voice: "Pass the order down. All plans are shelved. The An family army... the An family army gives up resistance."
