Chapter 484

Now that she has hung around in the hearts of all the people in the palace, a lot of idle and bored dowager consorts, concubines and the like, and bets to see when she can get tired of strolling around and stop tossing and turning like this.

Hongling was ordered to investigate the surrounding palace maid, don’t say, really let her find out the clues. In the Tu Su Qing Li out to sneak around, there is a palace maid several times want to approach her, all because of the people sent by the red diamond guard did not succeed. After she reported this news to Shen Ningshu, Shen Ningshu let someone leave a special opening.

Sure enough, in a few days, Tusu Qingli will not stroll around the palace, but caused a few bored concubines of the late emperor sigh, she did not stroll, but a lot less lively to see.

Inside the rear chambers, Shen Ninghua listened to Hongling’s report, put the hairpin in her hand aside, and couldn’t help but pause slightly, “You’re saying that the people who secretly contacted Tusu Qingli were instructed by Baili Jin Yu and Baili Jin Jing?”

“Yes, that palace maid has been in the palace for many years, in earlier years, she had been favored by the late Li Tai Guifei, some time ago, the two princes were imprisoned in the Zongrenfu, she had also inquired about the situation therein, but she did not succeed. Recently, someone suddenly contacted her, let her help help Tu Su Qing Li, now she is moving around, thinking of transferring to the jade hall to go.”

Shen Ninghua gave a slight laugh, “Nowadays, the Emperor’s harem’s only I’m an Empress, no other concubines, and there is the matter of the previous dynasty involved, I don’t manage much in the harem, I think, nowadays the situation in the harem is not easier than the previous dynasty.”

Hongling nodded, she is responsible for intelligence gathering, news naturally want to know more, “Your Highness is right on the money, in the harem up to the Qi Tai Guifei and others, down to the cleaning of the palace maids eunuchs, behind the back of the complete lack of interest involved in very few people, even ordinary palace people, behind the back of the interests of many to come and go, seriously on the subject, that network of relationships than the previous dynasty can be much more complex. ”

“It’s just as well, now that I’ve gotten some free time, together we can dispose of and dispose of it, don’t let the palace be in a mess all day.”

“Your Highness, may I control that courtesan for questioning?”

“No need, that courtesan is not moving around wanting to transfer to the jade hall, let people secretly give her a hand, don’t reveal any horse’s foot to transfer her over. Right now, she is afraid that she has also just made contact, and asking questions will not be able to ask any useful content, so it is better to put a long line to catch a big fish.”

Hongling nodded, “Yes, slave girl will go and set up.”

At this time, in the middle of the northwestern border, Baili Jinze called Han Qi and the others in when he received the decree to continue the attack, “The Great Yue Kingdom has requested peace talks, but the Emperor doesn’t seem to want to let them off the hook as easily as this, so he ordered to take down several of the nearby cities of the Great Yue Kingdom, and even if we want to have peace talks, I, the Great An Kingdom, must still have the upper hand!”

Han Qi and the others listened to the nodding, they are military generals, and not so much complexity of mind, can use their fists who quarrel with you, first fight, “Prince De, your body old disease committed, now not fully recovered, there is something you despite the command, let the end of the generals and others to do it can be.”

“Well,” Baili Jinze nodded, his face carrying an abnormal pallor, “But did you investigate what happened in the Great Yue State’s military camp?”

Ye Yi stepped forward, ever since Baili Jinze came to the border, he had received orders from Shen Ninghua to temporarily follow Prince De’s orders and help gather some intelligence, and at this time, he reported his findings:

“Reporting back to Prince De, my subordinate sent someone to investigate, the sixth prince of Great Vietnam, Bu Jinglan, together with Princess Bu Tinghe, put Empress Jin under house arrest, wanting to seize the supreme command of the army of Great Vietnam, causing a turmoil in the army, now that Empress Jin has been put under house arrest, the army of Great Vietnam is temporarily under the command of the sixth prince, however, because of the actions of several other emperors in the country, it seems that the sixth prince, Bu Jinglan, doesn’t want to continue to fight a war of attrition on the border, but rather wants to use the army to suppress several other emperors and seize the throne.”

Baili Jinze nodded, Bu Jinglan was taking advantage of being in the army, at this time it could be said that he had the upper hand, after all, although the other several princes of the Great Yue State had fiefdoms and private armies, they were not at all comparable to the regular army of the Great Yue State, and when Bu Jinglan took control of the army in Empress Jin’s hands, he could be said to be on the verge of victory.

It was just that, if the fight with the Great An Kingdom continued, under the huge consumption, then in the end it would be unknown who would win and who would lose, that was why Bu Jinglan was in such a hurry to have peace talks.

Just as Baili Jinze and the others were discussing the next battle plan, the guards at the door walked in with a feathered arrow, “Back to Prince Bing De, this feathered arrow was just found not far from the camp, with a strip of cloth inserted into it, indicating that it should be handed over to you.”

Baili Jinze frowned, looked down, his complexion was a little turbulent: this is Bu Tinghe’s handwriting! Thinking of Bu Ting He, the bottom of his eyes flashed full of disgust, he had already let people guard extraordinarily well, she still escaped, but also set off such a big storm between the two countries, indicating that he wanted to abolish Shen Ningshua, it seems that she still hasn’t had enough of the lesson.

He casually threw the cloth aside and waited until Han Qi and the others were almost done discussing before he walked out alone with the cloth. Suicheng was now devoid of the slightest hint of despair, and the food relief coupled with the successive victories of the Da An Guo army had filled the city with joy.

He changed his clothes navy blue unusual clothes, told Ye Yi to find a few people to secretly protect, this is out of the city gate toward the woods not far away.

At this moment, in the woods, Bu Ting He was standing quietly in a clearing, and when she saw Baili Jin Ze walking over, she couldn’t help but see her eyes glowing, “Master, I thought you wouldn’t come!”

“What did you see me for?”

Bu Ting He looked at his still handsome face and couldn’t help but get a little misty-eyed, “Master, you and I haven’t seen each other for a long time as husband and wife, and you didn’t even ask me if I’m doing well when you saw me?”

“You’ve been making waves in the Great Yue Country, stirring up the country inside and out, so I guess you’ve naturally been living extremely well.”

Bu Ting He took two steps forward, “Master, I’ve had a bad time, every day, every night I think of you …”

Baili Jinze narrowed his eyes, the bottom of his eyes were filled with disgust, “Get lost, what exactly are you looking for me for, this king doesn’t have the time to accompany you to sympathize and make a scene.”

Bu Ting He lowered his head, the light in his eyes flashed, “Master, you are still this desperate … I look for you, naturally I miss you and want to see you, can’t I do this?”

Baili Jinze turned around and walked away. Bu Tinghe secretly gritted her teeth, “Baili Jinze, stop!”

“Oh, no more pretending now?”

“You … I found you here because I want to form an alliance with you.” Bu Ting He threw out his purpose, “As you can see, nowadays, both the Great Yue Country and the Great An Country are not at peace, it is a good time to accomplish great things, you have never been dead to Shen Ningshua, right, as long as we unite together, you support my Sixth Royal Brother to take over the throne, and I, the Great Yue Country, will support you to fight for the power, and wait until the things are successful, don’t say it is Shen Ningshua, what kind of woman you want can be done! ”

“An alliance?” Baili Jinze looked at the confidence in Bu Tinghe’s eyes and was filled with the color of mockery, she seemed certain that she would definitely accept her olive branch, where in the world did the confidence come from?

“Not bad.” After spending so much time in the Great An Country, Bu Ting He thought that he knew Baili Jinze like the back of his hand, and that he had formed an obsession with Shen Ning Hua, an obsession that was enough for him to pursue with all his might, no matter what the cost.

“My sixth royal brother has already taken control of the command of the army, and as long as he quells the rebellion of the other few royals, he will be able to ascend to the throne as emperor. As for you, there is no need for you to do too much, all you need to do is to ensure that the borders of the Great An Kingdom remain motionless, and you will be considered to have done a great favor. When the Sixth Imperial Brother succeeds to the throne, he will in turn help you defeat Baili Junyi and seize the throne!”

Baili Jinze let out a cold laugh, “On what basis do I trust you? On what basis do I believe that Bu Jinglan won’t throw today’s agreement out the window after seizing power?”

“We can make a deed.”

“What falls on paper can be lost if it burns.”

“Then what do you want?” Bu Tinghe asked in a cold voice.

“Only when I see the actual benefits can I be assured that a few cities in the neighboring northwestern part of the Great Yue Country are pledged as collateral.”

“Mortgage with the city?” Bu Tinghe frowned.

Baili Jinze said squarely, “Not bad, first let my people capture the several cities stationed near the northwest, after that I will help you achieve what you want, wait until Bu Jinglan ascends to the throne and he fulfills his promises, then I will return the cities, if not, I have not wasted my efforts.”

“That’s impossible.” Bu Tinghe directly refused.

Baili Jinze let out a cold laugh before turning around and walking away.

“Wait!” Bu Tinghe called out to him, “I’ll go back and discuss with Sixth Imperial Brother.”

“Well, then you’ll have a good discussion, I don’t have a lot of patience, if you can’t have a good discussion, then don’t blame me for leading a direct attack!”

Looking at Baili Jinze’s back as he left, Bu Tinghe fiercely clenched her teeth, her eyes filled with a piece of resentment, this was a ploy she came up with, thinking to use Baili Jinze to stabilize the border first, and wait until after Bu Jinglan seized power, she would once again use her troops against the Da’an Kingdom, and when that time came, she would definitely have to abolish Shen Ningshua and Baili Junyi, and the others to give up.

Unexpectedly, Baili Jinze had asked for the city to be used as collateral. This matter needs to be thought over.

When Baili Jinze returned to the camp, the person secretly responsible for protecting him immediately told Ye Yi what had happened. Ye Yi came to Baili Jinze’s tent and couldn’t help but be a little hesitant, “Your Highness, you asked my subordinates to send someone to protect you today in order for my subordinates to report this news to the Emperor?”

Baili Jinze knew that the people he had sent were loyal to the Emperor, but he still sought him out for protection, surely he was not moved by Bu Tinghe’s offer.

Baili Jinze swept a glance at Ye Yi and coldly hooked his lips, “The Emperor has quite a few good subordinates. You can report this matter, and by the way, tell the Emperor that I will pretend to agree to Bu Tinghe’s proposal while sending troops to attack the nearby cities.”

“Why are you doing this?” Ye Yi was a bit puzzled.

Baili Jinze snorted coldly, “If you can take a few cities without spending a single soldier, who still brings soldiers to fight for their lives, is it stupid not to eat the pie that comes to the door?”
