Lu Qian was placed under house arrest in Liyang Palace.
Preoccupied.
He tried many methods, but had no idea what was going on outside.
All I know is that the guards outside changed into white clothes.
Obviously, they are all showing mourning for Queen Mother Dou.
Lu Qian tentatively followed them in the conversation.
But they ignored Lu Qian at all.
However, these people should not be the Forbidden Army controlled by Zhang Bao.
Because before, Zhang Bao took Lu Qian to see almost all the Forbidden Army for convenience.
All the Imperial Guards knew that Zhang Bao had a sworn brother.
They will all give Lu Qian some face.
But the people in front of him had all changed, and no one knew him, so it was obvious that Xia Yan had replaced him.
Lu Qian simply waited at the door.
To avoid being driven away by guards if someone comes looking for you.
After waiting for a while, I saw two people walking over.
The visitors were none other than Xia Nihuang and Yinyue.
Xia Nihuang was wearing plain clothes, and her face was extremely haggard and a little pale.
The leading guard stopped Xia Nihuang.
Xia Nihuang directly took out a token and said to the guard, "This is your Majesty's warrant."
But after the guard saw the token, he was not relieved. He bowed to Xia Nihuang and said, "His Royal Highness has an order. No one can enter unless he comes in person!"
After Xia Nihuang heard the guard's words, her face became even more ugly and she shouted sternly, "Your Majesty's order is not enough? Is it possible that the palace still listens to Xia Yan now?"
Several guards knelt on the ground and said, "Eldest Princess, I'm sorry...I can't let you in without His Highness's order!"
"Do I have to go in?" Xia Nihuang said with a slight frown.
"Then don't blame us for being rude!" The first guard drew out his knife and said sternly.
Yinyue frowned slightly and stood in front of Xia Nihuang, saying in a cold voice, "How outrageous! You dare to use a knife or a gun on the eldest princess... You are seeking death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a man's voice came from the side.
"That's right! You are looking for death...how dare you stop my aunt!"
The person who came was none other than Xia Yan. Xia Yan came up and kicked the guard who was the leader holding the knife to the ground.
After kicking the person, he still couldn't understand his hatred and kicked the head guard in the head.
After a while, the man was kicked until his face was covered in blood...
Xia Yan then bowed his hands to Xia Nihuang with a fake smile on his face and said, "Auntie, I'm really sorry that these guys with no dog eyes blocked your way..."
Xia Nihuang frowned and glanced at Xia Yan. She didn't seem to want to say more to him. She just asked coldly, "Can I go in?"
Xia Yan smiled faintly and quickly made a gesture of invitation.
Xia Nihuang entered Liyang Palace.
Seeing this, Xia Yan also followed.
Xia Nihuang said to Xia Yan, "What are you doing here?"
Xia Yan smiled and pointed at Lu Qian and said, "I'm looking for Mr. Lu... Where are you, aunt..."
Xia Nihuang glanced at Lu Qian and said coldly to Xia Yan, "I'm looking for Concubine Li!"
With that said, without even looking at Lu Qian, he walked towards Concubine Li's bedroom.
Xia Yan didn't seem to care about Xia Nihuang, but said to Lu Qian. "Mr. Lu, I had no choice but to protect you yesterday. After all, such a big thing happened. Concubine Li and the prince are still around! Mr. Lu won't blame me..."
Lu Qian looked at the somewhat nervous Xia Yan and said, "Your Highness, where are you talking... I don't dare..."
Xia Yan smiled and patted Lu Qian's shoulder and said, "Mr. Lu, you don't have to be so polite to me... Empress Dowager Dou suffered such a catastrophe. My father and I discussed where you should go. Let's consider the current situation and let you Let’s go back to the Ancestral Temple first. We’ll use it later.”
Lu Qian said to Xia Yan with some surprise, "Your Highness Xie Er, what about Li?"
Concubine..."
Xia Yan smiled slightly and then said, "In order to avoid the tragedy at the birthday banquet, my father specially arranged guards to protect him in Liyang Palace!"
Lu Qian didn't say anything after hearing this, he just agreed, but he wasn't sure what kind of medicine they were selling.
Without another word, Xia Yan glanced at Lu Qian with a fake smile and said, "Mr. Lu, I have to go to the morning court. Let's talk some other time..."
Lu Qian bowed and watched Xia Yan leave.
After watching Xia Yan leave, Lu Qian quickly returned to Concubine Li's palace.
I saw Xia Nihuang sitting at a table, and Concubine Li looking awkwardly at the side.
Obviously, Xia Nihuang came to find her, and she just said this to deal with Xia Yan.
Seeing Lu Qian come in, Xia Nihuang said to Concubine Li, "Concubine Li, please step aside. Xiao Qianzi and I have something important to discuss..."
Concubine Li glanced at Lu Qian, who nodded slightly.
Concubine Li just left.
Xia Nihuang said coldly, "Lu Qian, someone has assassinated the Queen Mother, have you known about it for a long time?"
Lu Qian saw Xia Nihuang's cold eyes and felt that there was no need to lie between him and Xia Nihuang.
He honestly told what he knew, the causes and consequences.
After Xia Nihuang finished listening, her face became increasingly ugly until Lu Qian finished speaking.
Xia Nihuang took out a musket and pointed it directly at Lu Qian's forehead and said, "You killed my queen mother, and I asked you to help him pay for it with his life!"
Damn it, you must be filled with mush in your head.
Lu Qian looked at Xia Nihuang in disbelief and said, "Princess, don't you understand? This is a trap set by others. No... This is a trap set by your Majesty, your imperial brother." Kill your mother! He is cleaning up your mother’s gang members and the disobedient forces in the court... Your imperial brother is concentrating power."
After hearing what Lu Qian said, Xia Nihuang said excitedly, "No...impossible...even if he wants to centralize power, there is no need to kill so many people."
Lu Qian snorted coldly, and then said, "If you don't believe it, just shoot me! This matter, I know, is also false news given to me by your royal brother... Apart from that, I didn't do anything!" If you want to kill, then kill..."
After Xia Nihuang heard Lu Qian's words, she slowly put down the gun in her hand.
The whole person burst into tears.
Lu Qian had never seen Xia Nihuang, who had always been arrogant, with such a fragile side.
Lu Qian subconsciously stepped forward and stroked her head.
Lu Qian knew that Xia Nihuang loved this country deeply, and had been mediating the relationship between Xia Jiuyuan and Queen Mother Dou...
The palms and backs of the hands are all flesh.
After crying for a while, Xia Nihuang grabbed Lu Qian's hand and said, "Lu Qian, can you help me?"
Looking at Xia Nihuang's red and teary eyes.
Lu Qian said in a daze, "Help you, what can I help you with?"
Xia Nihuang's eyes became more determined and she said to Lu Qian, "Help me avenge my mother!"
Lu Qian was a little surprised by Xia Nihuang's transformation, and said in disbelief, "You want to rebel?"
