The princess is disobedient

The person Qi Lianke sent out to follow up followed the messenger all the way to the outskirts of the city with few people. The person stopped near a courtyard in the suburbs, first looked left and right to make sure no one was following him, and then knocked on the gate of the courtyard .

After a while, someone came out to open the door. To everyone's surprise, it was an elderly woman who came out to open the door.

The woman appeared to be 80 to [-] years old, trembling on crutches, came to open the door for the messenger.

The messenger handed a letter to the old woman, explained a few words, and left. Before leaving, he did not forget to look around vigilantly.

The person in charge of tracking did not dare to get too close, and did not know what the messenger and the old woman had said.

After the messenger left, the old woman tremblingly returned to the other courtyard on crutches, closed the door and locked it, and entered the inner room.

When the person in charge of tracking saw that the messenger had left, he followed him, and several others stayed behind to monitor the old woman.

After the messenger had gone a little farther, the few people who remained approached the other courtyard, wanting to see what was going on inside.

The old woman tremblingly entered the inner room with the letter and never came out again. They waited for a long time but no one came to answer her. Apart from the breath of the old woman, no one else could be felt in the room.

Several people who were in charge of tracking watched every move in the yard suspiciously nearby. After a long time, the old lady did not see any action until night.

The follower here is sticking to the old woman, and Qi Lianke has already received the news from here. Besides, there are other people in the palace.

"My lord, Mr. Qin is asking to see you."

"Bring him in."

Sun Yu was sitting on a soft couch beside him eating grapes, and almost swallowed a grape that had just entered his mouth when he saw the person coming in.

I saw that the person who came was dressed in a black robe tightly wrapped himself up and down, and when he walked in, he lowered his head, so that people could not see his appearance clearly.

"My lord."

After the door was closed, the man took off the hat on his head, revealing the face that Sun Yu had seen before, and it was indeed Mr. Qin who was good.

Master Qin saw Sun Yu at the side, and bowed to Sun Yu respectfully and distantly, "Wish the princess."

Sun Yu nodded, remembering his flattering appearance when he first met Mr. Qin at the palace banquet, he couldn't help but feel a little at odds with the person in front of him.

He had met Master Qin in Qi Lianke's study before, and Qi Lianke also told him some things about the court in the past few days. Master Qin was Qi Lianke's undercover agent planted by the enemy, and Lord Qin was the first one to come out at the palace banquet. Talking to Sun Yu was also signaled by Qi Lianke, and the purpose was also to see who else was hiding in the dark.

Now that Mr. Qin came here at this time, he must have something important to say to Qi Lianke.

"My lord, I got the news that Qi Lianqing has at least [-] private soldiers rushing to the imperial city. This matter is in danger, so I don't want my lord to make plans as soon as possible." Lord Qin was also unambiguous, and said the matter directly when he came up.

"Fifty thousand private soldiers?" Qi Lianke frowned, "Do you still know where they came from?"

Mr. Qin looked sad and shook his head, "Except for the people around Qi Lianqing, we peripheral officials don't know anything about it."

"Where did he get the [-] private soldiers?" Qi Lianke tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically. He has been fighting outside these years, which made Qi Lianqing so rampant.

"Judging from their stance, they seem to be swearing and cautious. They don't seem to be lying. According to my guess, it is very likely that the troops will be brought from the southwest." Master Qin boldly stated his guess.

"The southwestern area... Mrs. Zhuge's hometown?" Qi Lianke looked stern, and called out the door, "One more."

"Let General Qi take people to the southwest of the imperial city to have a look, and report immediately if there is any disturbance."

"Wang Gonggong, go and call the right minister."

After giving a series of orders, Qi Lianke turned his gaze back to Lord Qin again.

"Master Qin has worked hard, please protect yourself these days."

"Thank you, my lord, for your concern. This is what I should do."

Then Lord Qin put on his cloak again, and hurried out of the palace under the escort of the guards.

"Qi Lianqing really has [-] troops?" Sun Yu approached Qi Lianke worriedly.

Qi Lianke hugged him and let him sit on his lap. Sun Yu stuffed the freshly peeled grape into Qi Lianke's mouth.

"Soldiers and horses should be real. As for the number, I'm afraid there are not that many."

"Even if there are not so many, is there still a bad fight?"

Sun Yu felt nervous when he thought of the scene of Qi Lianke being injured before, for fear that Qi Lianke would be injured in this open and secret fight.

"Don't worry, I have sent Duo Cong to the border a long time ago. Our people will be here soon. Let alone 15, even if it is [-], they will not have the ability to step into the imperial city." Qi Lianke said this arrogantly. Self-confidence, the domineering posture of the king is undoubtedly revealed.

Sun Yuben, who was still worried, was overwhelmed by Qi Lianke's self-confidence and overbearing, and he was not so worried anymore.

In the past few months, Qi Lianke has been fully prepared to catch Qi Lianqing, waiting for the moment when Qi Lianqing reveals his fox tail.

Now that Qi Lianke has finally caught the clues, Qi Lianke will definitely not miss this great opportunity, this time he will definitely solve Qi Lianqing's internal trouble in one fell swoop.

Later on, Qi Lianke's call came into the palace in response to Qi Lianke's call. Qi Lianke and You Xiang talked for a long time in the side hall and arranged many matters.

Sun Yu Ting was half-knowledgeable but didn't dare to be distracted. He always thought that he could do something for Qi Lianke in a certain way, so he listened very carefully every time something happened, but he couldn't hear the right minister leaving. Find out from their conversations where you can help.

Sun Yu couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

Things have been very tense and urgent these past few days, but Sun Yu is bored every day. Apart from worrying, he can't help at all. He was injured at a critical point, not only he couldn't help but had to be taken care of, it also distracted Qi Lianke from taking care of his major and minor matters.

Although Sun Yu told Qi Lianke many times that he has recovered very well and his wounds are about to heal, Qi Lianke is still worried about him.

Sun Yu had been living in the palace for almost half a month, and his shoulder was not seriously injured. His critical condition that day was only a dangerous situation caused by excessive blood loss.

Now he is being served in the palace every day with good food and drink, and he is also taken care of by Qi Lianke himself. Naturally, his injury will recover faster, but Qi Lianke just doesn't trust him, even Qi Lianke will stop him when he gets too active.

Sun Yu was depressed but couldn't hold back Qi Lianke, so he had no choice but to eat fruit in the room to cool off in depression.

Qi Lianke asked the imperial dining room to prepare delicious food for Sun Yu in different ways every day, especially the candied fruit that Sun Yu liked to eat.

----

Among all Qi Lianke's arrangements, the only thing that didn't follow their expectations was their attitude towards Yang Zhaoqi.

The people on Qi Lianqing's side did not start with Yang Zhaoqi as Yang Zhaoqi and Qi Lianke had expected. They seemed not at all afraid of the help Yang Zhaoqi would bring to Qi Lianke. On the contrary, this further confirmed that Qi Lianqing did have private soldiers in his hands. thing.

They seem to be sure of victory and can directly take Qi Lianke and this imperial city.

In this way, it gave Yang Zhaoqi the opportunity to accompany the empress. The empress has been in a heavy mood these few days because she learned that her father was killed by her younger brother, and even her temper was much stronger than before.

Fortunately, now that Yang Zhaoqi was with her to comfort her, the Queen's mood improved a lot.

When the Queen's mood improved, the most direct beneficiary became Qi Lianke, and he finally no longer had to face all the memorials alone every day.

The prince would come every day to take some of the memorials and send them to the queen's bedroom.

Since Sun Yu recovered, Sun Yu and Qi Lianke automatically ran to the bedroom in the side hall to rest, and returned Longta, which belonged to the queen, to the queen.

Sun Yu is still amazed by the Queen's easy-going degree, but it has also deepened his love and respect for the Queen.

After eating and drinking enough, Sun Yu began to think about the recent situation, "They won't be so stupid as to fully believe that you and Sister Huang have been deeply poisoned, right?"

Sun Yu had deep doubts about Qi Lianqing's IQ. Even if his IQ was not good, wouldn't there be someone with an above-average IQ around him?

Hearing Sun Yu's question, Qi Lianke snorted coldly, very disdainful, "He has always been arrogant and conceited, so being so confident is something he will do."

Sun Yu was at a loss for words, "Can't you be that stupid?"

Although Qi Lianqing's poor IQ is beneficial to them, but Sun Yu still doubts whether Qi Lianqing has any brains.

"Of course it's because your husband-in-law and I are extremely smart and take every step~" Qi Lianke praised himself without hesitation.

Sun Yu was amused by his wangpo's tone of selling melons, put his arms around his neck, and looked at him with a smile, "Then tell me, how do you manage every step of the way?"

"Look what this is." Qi Lianke pulled out a piece of paper from the desk.

Sun Yu took it over and took a look, and he knew why Qi Lianke was so confident.

The people guarding Qiming these days have worked hard and got a lot of useful information from him.

This piece of paper is the news from Qiming.

Qiming and Qi Lianqing's transaction is not just as simple as the throne, there are other transactions between them, and in these transactions, one can find the clues behind Qi Lianqing.

Qiming is quite a smart person, as soon as he saw Brother Situ's upward head, he guessed that that idiot Qi Lianqing didn't have the slightest doubt about Sun Yu's identity, otherwise Brother Situ would not have risked his life to save him , and was finally killed by Qi Lianke.

Qi Lianqing is so stupid that he really can't cooperate with him anymore, so he immediately chooses to turn to the light and make a deal with Qi Lianke. He tells Qi Lianqing's strength to help Qi Lianke eradicate Qi Lianqing at the least cost.

However, Qiming is not so stupid as to tell Qi Lianke everything, his last clue is the direct evidence that Qi Lianqing killed his father in his hands.

In exchange for his life, after Qi Lianke caught Qi Lianqing and let him go, he would tell Qi Lianke about it.

"The 5 horses are really a force from the southwest?" Sun Yu couldn't help admiring Master Qin's judgment.

"General Zhuge's wife, the Feng family, is not a big family. In the early years, they relied on General Zhuge's prestige to start a business. They kept a low profile when General Zhuge was alive. After General Zhuge passed away, they even disappeared. When Qi Lianqing came to power They have never clinged to the future, and they never asked about Qi Lianqing's defeat, there must be something tricky about it that we don't know about."

Qi Lianke analyzed it for Sun Yu.

"They are too low-key, so low-key that I almost forgot their existence. If Mr. Qin hadn't heard the wind from Qi Lianqing's subordinates and inferred from this, I'm afraid we would have been put together by the power of the Feng family."

"Fortunately, Mr. Qin is alert." Sun Yu sincerely praised Mr. Qin.

"You only praise him and not me?" Qi Lianke pinched Sun Yu's nose, looking very dissatisfied.

Seeing this, Sun Yu quickly praised him, he was so smart, he knew things like a god, as long as Sun Yu could think of good words, he would praise Qi Lianke.
