Sang Le did not answer, looked at her coldly, and left with Qi Ying.
“The fourth princess…”
Guan Lin turned around and chased after him.
Qi Ying turned around to stop her: "Mr. Guan, my sister-in-law was also frightened today. The Guan family will know about your sister tomorrow."
Guan Lin stopped and watched them walk away, with a vague feeling of bad premonition.
Qi Sheng had already noticed something was wrong when the lady from the aristocratic family came out. At this time, he received San Le and Qi Ying and turned around and got into his carriage. If they had anything to do, they would go back home to discuss it in detail.
All the carriages outside the palace gate left, leaving only the Guan family's carriage parked alone.
Guan Lin looked inside the palace gate several times, not daring to delay and hurriedly got on his horse and returned to the house.
Tonight, many mansions in Kyoto City are destined to have a sleepless night.
Ye Qianning sent Nan Xiang back to Changyang Palace before returning to Xiang's home.
In the hall, Xiang Minghou, Gu Shuo, Qian Fanji, Zhan Chi, and Mr. Chen were all there. They seemed to have just experienced an unpleasant debate, and they all looked not very good. They all restrained themselves when they saw Ye Qianning come in. The look on his face.
“Dad, what are you arguing about? I heard it from all the way.” Ye Qianning glanced at them one by one.
"fine."
"fine."
"fine."
"fine."
The four of them said in unison.
The four faces look at each other.
Ye Qianning: “…”
"It's strange that your father doesn't make any noise when we get together." Mr. Chen raised his hand to wave Ye Qianning over: "Did the palace banquet go well?"
There was a smile on Ye Qianning's lips. She knew it even without telling her. She walked up and sat next to Mr. Chen: "It's going well for me, but it's not going well for them."
“What exactly happened?”
Ye Qianning told several people in detail about entering the palace.
Mr. Chen was not particularly angry when he heard that Miss Guan had drugged her. Her young apprentice's medical skills were such that such a little trick was not worth mentioning. Until he heard that the queen also drugged the pastry, she became completely sullen.
The Queen and Emperor Beili were childhood sweethearts, and she knew Emperor Beili's temperament best. When Ye Qianning entered the city, Emperor Beili's actions had obviously reached the Queen's ears.
She gave the medicine to completely destroy Ye Qianning, and also to completely destroy the idea that Emperor Beili had.
It is easy to change a country, but it is hard to change one's nature. Emperor Beili is no longer suitable to be this emperor.
Xiang Minghou's veins bulged when he heard this, and he spoke gloomily: "This kind of person should be killed with one sword."
"It would be too easy to kill her. She must die if she can't survive." Zhan Chi narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth fiercely. He seemed to have already thought about how to deal with those people.
Qian Fan's indifferent eyes also revealed murderous intent: "If you enter the palace next time, no matter what the reason is, I will go with you."
“It seems that Beili is not chaotic enough.” Gu Shuo said coldly.
"Dad, we have just entered Beili. Don't worry. We don't have to do anything for a flower-viewing banquet. The reputation of the harem and the reputation of the Royal Guards, which the royal family is proud of, will be completely ruined." Ye Qianning wanted to see it. Can Jin Yiwei sit still after losing such a big man?
Bei Li Di is thick-skinned, but that doesn’t mean everyone is like him.
“This assassination scene is not just to test whether there are masters around you, but also to test whether you know kung fu.” Qian Fan said quietly.
Zhan Chi sneered: "So what if the temptation comes out, he can only make waves in the palace."
His own daughter is many times more powerful than him, yet he still wants to kidnap her?
"Father Zhan is right. Jianghu people from four countries are arriving in the capital one after another. It's not certain who will suppress whom by then." After speaking, Ye Qianning tilted her head and looked at Mr. Chen: "Master, you arranged the gentleman who entered the palace today, right? .”
Hearing this, Mr. Chen smiled and said, "It's not that I'm giving instructions from my teacher." "That is?"
"I received a letter from them coming to the capital a few days ago. I was quite curious about you. I came to the door before I had rested in the city today. When I heard that you entered the palace, they were more anxious than being a teacher. They didn't wait until I could learn about you. He said he turned around and went to the palace gate."
“Can they meet the Holy Spirit directly?”
"They were all students who studied in Loushan with Emperor Beili. We had a good relationship with Emperor Beili when he was not yet emperor. Emperor Beili wrote to them half a year ago asking them to come to the capital to attend the Lou Mountain. "Mountain Priest, they didn't plan to come originally, but then they heard about you, so they rushed to the capital overnight," explained Mr. Chen.
Ye Qianning's little doubts were cleared when he heard this. If Emperor Beili hadn't felt that the gentlemen were the support of the literary world, how could something as important as the Imperial Garden assassination be exposed by a group of literati?
Thinking of the attitude of the gentlemen in the Royal Garden...
“Dad, let someone guard the area around Qingtan Inn secretly to avoid any accidents.”
Emperor Beili is narrow-minded, and I am afraid he will hate Mr. Shang after this incident.
“Sir, Dad will take care of it. There are only four of you, Du Yi and the others. Dad is worried and will ask Zhuo Feng and a dozen of his men to follow you.” Xiang Minghou said.
“No need, Rowan and the others...”
“It’s decided.”
Hang Minghou did not give Ye Qianning a chance to refute. No matter how strong a person is, he may be in danger and cannot be ignored.
“With the priest of Loushan coming soon, the literati, Jianghu, and envoys from the three countries will get together, and the capital will become more and more chaotic. It is better to be cautious when there is a mixture of fish and dragons.” Mr. Chen also agreed.
"Yes, if my people can't show up, dad will organize a security team for you." Zhan Chi was suffering the most. He had to be secretive wherever he went while being grounded.
I can’t even walk openly with my daughter, which is frustrating.
Ye Qianning: "...Okay."
Gu Shuo: "Zhan Chi, why don't you lend me your people?"
“Okay, but you have to pay some interest.”
“philistine.”
"Who among the philistines can compare with you." Zhan Chi rarely got a chance to trick him: "Five hundred taels a day, as long as you don't kill people and get goods, you can use the Zhan family's guards as you like."
Gu Shuo: "Deal."
Zhan Chi was stunned: "One thousand two days?"
"roll."
…”
—
The night passed and dawn came in a blink of an eye.
The streets of Kyoto City were as lively as ever. Rumors about the assassination at the flower viewing party in the Imperial Palace yesterday were widespread. What happened in the harem was not spread at all and was suppressed by the royal family.
Ye Qianning received reports on honey-sucking hidden in various mansions early in the morning. Late last night, the emperor wrote many secret letters and sent them to various mansions. If rumors about the affairs in the palace get out from the official residences, they will be killed without mercy.
The concubines, maids, eunuchs, and guards in the harem were all given death orders. Anyone who dared to reveal the affairs of the imperial garden would be beaten to death with sticks.
At the Flower Appreciation Banquet, only the assassination was revealed, and Dali Temple was investigating the murderer.
The scandal was suppressed, and the assassination of Emperor Beili did not dare to be suppressed. After all, so many literati were present.
Although the literati didn't know what happened in the harem, they were aware of the assassination in the Royal Garden. There was no need to be jealous of Jin Yiwei's performance. When rumors spread, the entire Jin Yiwei's face was completely humiliated.
"Miss, this is a letter from the Eighth Prince." Du Yi came in from the door.
Ye Qianning received the letter: "Keep an eye on Dali Temple and ask someone to inquire about the progress of the assassination in the Royal Garden every day."
