Most of the snowdrift outside the Yangxin Hall has melted, leaving only a thin layer of ice on the gray bluestone. The eunuch's thin-soled palace boots slipped from time to time when he stepped on them, until he reached the door of the Yangxin Hall. Then he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, bent slightly and said to the two people behind him: "Prince Huai, Crown Prince, please come inside."
Qi Zhongpei nodded slightly and strode into the Yangxin Hall. His steps were steady and unaffected by the snow outside. He looked like he was galloping on the battlefield.
But Qi Hong¡¯s eyes in the palace did not fall on him, but on Qi Zhan who was walking behind him.
Qi Zhan is much taller than Qi Zhongpei, but his figure is losing weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he loses a bit of his heroic look. From a distance, he looks like a pine tree when everything is withered, lonely and cold, and a little depressed. People can't help but think of the white frost floating in the dusk sky a few days ago.
Qi Hong remembered that when he summoned Qi Zhan several times before, he was not like this.
At that time, Chu Yu was still in the mansion, and Qi Zhan still had some sense of humanity in him. He also knew how to restrain his aura so that he would not overshadow King Huai, and he would not be as sharp as he is now, as if he is too lazy. It doesn't matter how much you cover up.
Even an outsider like Qi Hong could see the changes in Qi Zhan these days, not to mention King Huai who met Qi Zhan almost every day.
Qi Hong and Qi Zhongpei both knew that Qi Zhan was raising secret guards, but they were unwilling to take the lead until they found out how many people Qi Zhan had, so they had to turn a blind eye and pretend not to do anything. Know.
"However, although the city gate is now open, Qi Zhan's men have not been withdrawn. They are very strict about checking the people coming and going. If it is delayed any longer, it may be detrimental to Daye's safety.
Qi Hong took a sip of tea, looked at Qi Zhan for a long time, and then asked: "Since the day the prince sealed the city gate, I have received many impeachment notices from ministers, but I thought maybe there was something urgent in the emperor's uncle's house. , I suppressed the matter for the time being. I have been waiting for the emperor's uncle to give me an explanation these days, but now half a month has passed, and the people have already complained. Not only did I not wait for the emperor's uncle to say a few words, but the prince continued to You ignored my summons, where did you put my face?"
Qi Hong¡¯s words were neither urgent nor slow, but there was a faint sense of coercion. When he finished speaking, he did not look at Qi Zhan, but looked at Qi Zhongpei, obviously asking Qi Zhongpei to answer him.
Qi Zhongpei naturally understood what Qi Hong meant, thought for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "To be honest, since the full moon banquet, the ministers have been infected with the wind and cold, and have been in bed for several days. All the affairs of the mansion have been handed over to Zhan'er, until It has only improved slightly in the past few days. Regarding Zhan'er's blocking of the city gate and resisting the decree, I only learned about it a few days ago"
With that said, Qi Zhongpei knelt on the ground and said with a sad expression: "It is really the veteran's incompetence in teaching his children that has caused such a disaster. Everything is the veteran's fault. Please punish me!"
Although Qi Zhongpei said words of apology, he had already completely ignored himself in his words. Qi Hong hadn't said that Qi Zhan resisted the edict, but he first said that Qi Zhan resisted the edict, which undoubtedly admitted the crime on Qi Zhan's behalf. Hongzhi's handling of Qi Zhan not only showed that he had the overall situation in mind, but also gained a good reputation in the court.
Qi Hong was well aware of Qi Zhongpei¡¯s plan. He turned to Qi Zhan and asked in a deep voice, ¡°Is what the emperor said is true?¡±
A sarcastic smile appeared on Qi Zhan's lips. He did not defend himself, but said in a cold voice: "It's true."
Qi Hong frowned slightly and asked: "I heard that the prince's sealing of the city gate was related to the prince's concubine. Isn't the prince's concubine seriously ill? Is there another secret?"
Qi Zhan¡¯s eyelashes trembled inaudibly a few times, and after a long while, they lowered gently, and said in a voice as soft as a falling feather: ¡°The imperial concubine was kidnapped by Beigao people.¡±
"What?!"
Qi Hong made a surprised gesture and turned to look at King Huai: "Is the prince serious?"
Qi Zhongpei reacted very quickly and immediately bowed his head and said: "I don't know about this. I just heard from the servants in Zhan'er's courtyard a few days ago that my grandma is ill in bed. I even sent a doctor to see him, but Zhan'er refused. I thought my grandma was not seriously ill, so I didn¡¯t take it to heart, but I didn¡¯t know that was the reason!¡±
Qi Hong looked at Qi Zhan again, as if to ask why Qi Zhan deceived him.
Qi Zhan's expression did not change at all, and he whispered: "I learned that the envoy of Dajing has just arrived in Daye. If I reveal the news that the imperial concubine was kidnapped, I may make the envoy worry."
Qi Hong was stunned when he heard this, and it took him a long time to remember that he had revised Qi Zhan's family letter.
At first, he only wanted to reveal to Chu Heng the news that Qi Zhan and Chu Concubine were not getting along, and then take the opportunity to allow Chu Concubine to go back to visit relatives, so as to divide the power of King Huai, but he did not thinksp; There is no word written on the envelope, only an earring is glued to the lower right corner.
The enamel pendant inlaid with gold is a pair with her hairpin.
They were all the jewelry she was wearing on the day she left.
Qi Zhan held the earrings in his palms and opened the envelope quickly.
I don¡¯t know whether he was nervous or excited, but his hand holding the letter trembled imperceptibly, and it took a long time to see the writing on it clearly:
On the ninth day of March, I returned to Helou.
¡°Where is the person who delivered the letter?¡± Qi Zhan asked.
Fu Yi said: "I was detained by the guards. He is an illiterate and poor mute. I can't ask anything. Do you want to see the prince?"
Qi Zhan put the letter into his sleeve and said calmly: "No need."
The ninth day of March is the day after tomorrow.
There is no need for him to waste time elsewhere.
