Regarding the candidates to go to Nanping, Qin Taifu couldn't decide who to recommend for a while.
Yan echoed: "How about sending Qin Feng?"
"Your Highness, do you think Quanzi is qualified?" Taifu Qin was stunned and quickly shook his head, "He has an unstable temper. I am afraid that he will fail in such an important matter."
"Gu believes in Qin Feng, and Taifu should also believe in him." Yan replied with a smile, "That's it!"
Taifu Qin was blocked and could only agree, "That's fine. Ever since Zhou Gu left the capital for Jiangning, he has been like grass. Now that he is released, he will probably be happy."
He added: "The old minister will give him stern instructions when he returns home. After he comes to the East Palace, Your Highness, you must also give him stern instructions. Marquis Nanping is a great help to the eldest prince. If Ningchi can be used to overthrow Marquis Nanping, he will If the Nanping Marquis Mansion woos us into our camp, the eldest prince will lose a lot of support, so there is nothing to be afraid of."
Yan nodded in response.
The two discussed for a while, and someone outside reported, "Your Highness, the Queen is here."
Taifu Qin stopped talking and looked at Yan Huisheng. Yan Huisheng was also a little surprised and walked out to greet him.
The Queen is a dignified beauty. As she gets older, she becomes more graceful. When she saw Taifu Qin was there, she smiled and said, "Did I interrupt the discussion between Taifu and the Crown Prince?"
"I have seen the Queen, don't bother me. I have finished discussing the matter with Your Highness. I will leave now." Taifu Qin said quickly.
The Queen smiled and said: "I have some matters to discuss with the Crown Prince. Now that the Master has finished discussing the matter, I will not keep you. Master, please go slowly."
Master Qin nodded, excused himself, and left the East Palace.
After Qin Taifu left, the smile on the queen's face suddenly faded and she looked at Yan Huisheng.
Yan Huisheng knew that the queen would not come to the East Palace easily. Usually if something happened, she would tell him when he went to Fengyi Palace to pay her respects. He handed her over and said, "Mother, please speak in the study."
The queen nodded and followed Yan Huisheng to the study.
The door was closed, and someone was guarding the outside. The mother and son faced each other, and then the queen asked: "Let me ask you, where is the dagger Zhang Chengming made for you?"
Yan Hui was stunned, "Why would the queen ask about this?"
"I'm just asking you, where is the dagger?" the queen stared at him and asked.
Yan echoed: "Give it away."
"Who did you give such an important thing to?"
"To the person who saved my son from the assassination in Jiangning last time." Yan echoed.
The Queen was startled, "Is it a woman?"
"Yes." Yan Hui said in surprise, "How did the Queen Mother know?"
The queen sat down and said, "How do I know? Of course I agreed to the Queen of Nanchu's promise to kill someone for her, so she asked the King of Nanchu to support you. Who knew that the person I sent to kill actually had something on his body? There’s that dagger of yours.”
Yan Huisheng was startled, her face changed slightly, and she asked urgently: "Mother, did you kill someone?"
The queen looked at his look and shook her head in frustration, "No, the man I sent recognized your dagger and stopped, and came back to report to me for my decision. I thought that your dagger belonged to Zhang Chengming. You love Fengshan's work the most. How could I let it fall into the hands of outsiders? I'll come and ask you."
She was helpless, "Why did she save you?"
Yan Huisheng breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that we didn't kill her, but was she injured?"
This time it was the queen's turn to change her face slightly, "Prince, why do you care so much about her?"
Yan Huisheng also knew that he was a little too exposed, so he calmed down and said, "Mother, she saved my son's life. Otherwise, I would have been unable to escape from the two killers that day. The grace of saving my life is greater than God. I, my son." No matter how much you care about her, it’s never too much.”
The queen choked for a moment, paused for a long time, and then said: "That's what I said, but where is the Queen of Nanchu..."
"Mother, please find out clearly. Why did Queen Nanchu want to kill her? There is a vassal state of Nanchu thousands of miles away, in a place as small as Jiangning County. What grudge does Queen Nanchu have against her?"
"This...I don't know. It was Queen Nanchu who came to me on her own initiative and said that she knew about your current situation. Your Majesty has many kinds of control over you. If I can kill someone for her, she would persuade King Nanchu to support her. You. You must know that the vassal state of Southern Chu plays an important role in our Daliang. It will be of great benefit to you to have the support of a vassal state. Even your majesty cannot suppress you too much."
Yan Hui nodded, and he understood the Queen's concern for him, "I have been sending people to look for her, but I don't know her identity, but I didn't expect that I was hit by the Queen first. Can the Queen tell me what her name is? , where does she live? She saved Erchen, and I must not let Queen Nanchu kill her. After Erchen knows her identity, he will also find out why Queen Nanchu killed her."
"You don't know her identity?" The queen was surprised.
"I was in a hurry to get away, so I didn't ask. I thought she would be easy to find, but I never thought that I haven't found her yet."
The queen nodded, "She is the daughter of Su Xu from the Jiangning Prefecture. She is the seventh in the family. Her name seems to be Su..." When she said this, she suddenly asked in surprise: "Who is the concubine of the Su Prefecture who is engaged to Zhou Gu?" Isn’t it just Su Rong?”
Yan Huisheng's expression changed and he didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he nodded under the Queen's confused gaze and said, "That's the name."
The queen saw Yan nodded in response, but didn't say anything for a while.
Who knows what happens in this world? It just happened to be such a coincidence. It happened that the person Queen Nanchu wanted to kill was Su Rong, the person who saved Yan Huisheng was Su Rong, and the person who was engaged to Zhou Gu was also Su Rong.
The study was quiet for a while.
After a while, the queen spoke and asked tentatively: "You found her because you wanted to repay her kindness? How do you plan to repay her for saving her life?"
Yan Huisheng said nothing.
The queen was someone who had been here before, and her face suddenly turned a little ugly, and she asked tentatively: "It's just a one-time relationship, you can't..."
"Queen mother, I am the only one." Yan Huihui met her gaze and admitted.
The queen's expression changed greatly, "It's just one face..."
Yan Huisheng was silent for a moment, "After returning to Beijing, I have always regretted that I didn't ask her name that day."
With just these words, the queen's heart sank.
With his status as the prince, if he wanted to repay the favor of saving his life, he didn't need to worry about it like this, but it would be nice if he could think about it like this. But who is the bad one? It was Su Rong, the person that Queen Nanchu wanted to kill and Zhou Gu's fiancée.
The queen looked at Yan Hui and said, "You are the prince. Even if you fall in love with him, you can't let him go."
Yan Hui laughed and said, "Mother, do you think your son is the kind of person who can easily let go of someone once he has fallen in love with him?"
If this is the case, he will not be without a woman by his side for many years. He is not interested in all the women given to him by the palace, including Qin Luan. Everyone said Qin Luan was good, but he didn't think so.
