"Master Gu." Xiao Yan, who had been silent at first, raised his eyes coldly: "Who are you asking to go to Zuozhou?"
Gu Helian glared at him unceremoniously: "Why, if you can't protect Little Haitang yourself, why don't you allow others to protect her? Who dares to torment them like this in Zuozhou..."
"Can you shut up?"
Rong Yue looked at Gu Helian chattering non-stop and glanced at him with a headache.
Seeing that Xiao Yan's face looked a little bad, she stretched out her hand to pull Gu Helian and pinched him: "You talk a lot. If you can't refuse, do you think Xiao Yan will agree to let us enter the palace?"
"That's still incompetent..."
"Can you, you go?"
Gu Helian: "..."
After Rong Yue yelled at Gu Helian to shut up, she said to Xiao Yan: "Ignore him, Qian Shangshu, when will Ah Yue come over?"
"aunt!"
Talk to people and they will come.
Just as Rong Yue finished speaking, Qian Qiyue's voice came from outside the door. Within a moment, she saw Qian Qiyue in a plain blue dress, wearing a white cloak and striding in with her hand to lift the door curtain.
Tsukimi followed her and held the curtain.
Qian Qiyue let go and said, "I came here as soon as I received the news. I just gave you a few more words of caution when I left the house. Isn't it too late?"
Tang Ning shook his head: "It's not too late, but I shouldn't have let you enter the palace with my aunt and me..."
"What are you talking about?"
Qian Qiyue had a pretty face and said unhappily: "You and your aunt are so weak that everyone wants to bully you. The palace is full of scheming. What if the Queen Mother or someone else takes the opportunity to discuss it?" What should I do if I grind you? I can still beat them if I follow you."
Qian Baokun's face fell and he glared at his daughter: "What nonsense are you talking about? I asked you to accompany Tang Ning to protect them, I didn't ask you to fight with others."
Qian Qiyue was dissatisfied: "It makes sense..."
"You still say that?!" Qian Baokun blew his beard and glared.
Qian Qiyue quickly shrank behind Tang Ning. Qian Baokun felt his head hurt when he saw this.
"The palace is not outside. You are not allowed to fight with anyone unless absolutely necessary, especially with people in the palace. You must be cautious in everything you say and do."
"Keep some of your temper for me after you enter the palace. Remember to listen to Tang Ning and Mrs. Rong Guo in everything. Don't fail to help them and end up causing trouble."
Qian Qiyue muttered: "Dad, you can't trust me so much. My mother-in-law told me several times before I went out. Besides, I am not what I used to be..."
She has been reciting Buddhist sutras for half a month and knocking wooden fish for half a month. She has cultivated her body and cultivated her character!
Tang Ning was held by her arms and almost laughed out loud when she heard Qian Qiyue's whisper.
She raised her head and said to Qian Baokun: "Uncle, don't worry. Sister Ah Yue and I will be together after we enter the palace. She will not be left alone with others. Besides, sister Ah Yue is smart and she knows what's appropriate."
Yue Jian stood aside and said: "Girl, when I came back from picking up Qian, I met several carriages entering the palace."
Tang Ning nodded: "Brother, Uncle Qian, then my aunt, sister Ayue and I will go to the palace first."
Gu Helian was not happy: "Be careful when you go there. If the Emperor and Queen Mother really want to do something outrageous, don't hold back. The worst is, the court will be overthrown."
This time Xiao Yan did not refute Gu Helian's words, but stepped forward and looked at Tang Ning: "Have you put away the things I just gave you?"
Tang Ning touched something hard in her sleeve and nodded: "Put it away."
Xiao Yan said: "After entering the palace, even if Emperor An and the Queen Mother have any plans, they will not blatantly harm you. At most, they will use some underhanded methods."
"After you enter the palace, stay with your aunt and Miss Qian in the Shoukang Palace. When you leave the Shoukang Palace, take Yue Jian and Shi Lan with you. Don't be alone at any time. If you want to serve, the palace will most likely let you Stay overnight for a few days. During this period, except for Emperor An and the Queen Mother, you don't have to pay attention to the summons of other concubines and princes."
Xiao Yan said in a deep voice:
"If something really endangers you, don't hesitate, just protect yourself first, don't worry about the consequences, you know?"
Xiao Yan rarely talked like this, but Tang Ning didn't feel impatient at all. She just agreed seriously.
"Brother, don't worry, I remember everything."
Xiao Yan and Qian Baokun sent Tang Ning and the others out of the house. After the three of them got on the carriage, Xiao Yan said to Jinyun who was driving the carriage: "Please tell the palace to protect the girl and Mrs. Rong Guo. If anything happens, Report back immediately."
He paused, his expression serious.
"Tell Feng Lai and Yu Yanfeng that Tang Ning and the others are careful in everything. If there is an emergency, they are allowed to act cheaply."
The so-called "acting cheaply" means to deal with An Di and others in advance, take over the palace, and ignore the chaos outside.
Jinyun looked stern: "I understand."
Qian Baokun vaguely heard Xiao Yan's words from behind and pursed his lips.
I hope An Di doesn't get confused, otherwise...
…
The weather in the winter months has turned completely cold. It hasn't started snowing in Beijing yet, but the wind blowing in the face has already brought a biting chill.
When Tang Ning and the others entered the palace by car, the carriage was still stopped outside the second gate. Yue Jian had just informed them of their names, saying that they were sent to the palace to take care of the Empress Dowager, and there was an elderly man outside. The palace man came forward.
"I have met Mrs. Rongguo, Princess Xiangning, and Miss Qian. Please follow me."
Tang Ning and others followed the palace man into the palace without any objection.
Rong Yue was wearing a navy blue cloak and was dressed plainly. However, the dull color could not cover up her outstanding face.
She straightened the white fox fur around her neck and said to the palace servant in front of her, "I wonder what your aunt's name is?"
The man said respectfully, "My servant Fang Qin is on duty at the Inner Court Department."
Rongyue said warmly: "Today, there was a sudden order from the palace for us aunts and nephews to come into the palace to take care of the Queen Mother. I wonder how the Queen Mother is doing?"
Fangqin's face was kind, and even if there was a hint of worry on her face, it wouldn't make anyone feel uncomfortable.
"Replying to Madam, the Queen Mother has been ill for some time. Although she has not been feeling well, it has never been too serious. But about ten days ago, her condition suddenly worsened and she often falls asleep. People from the Imperial Medical Office have been guarding Shoukang Palace. inside."
"Last night, the Queen Mother's condition suddenly relapsed. She was suffering from it until tomorrow morning when she finally stabilized. The people in the Qintian Prison said that the Queen Mother was in such a state that her stars were collided and she needed someone with deep blessings to take care of her. Your Majesty, then It is decreed that the woman should enter the palace to attend to the illness."
Xiao Yan had great prestige in the court, and Fang Qin wanted to sell the future Duke Dingguo's wife well, so she spoke very carefully.
"Madam and the princess are not too early. Before you, Mrs. Wenxinhou and Mrs. Zhou, Princess Huan and Prince Ji's side concubine, as well as the mother and daughter of the Xu family, the Minister of War, and the girls of the Cao and Fu families, and The second young lady of the Liang family and the eldest young lady of the Cui family have already entered the palace first."
"So many people?" Tang Ning raised an eyebrow.
Qian Qiyue curled her lips without leaving any trace.
A queen mother was seriously ill and asked a group of ladies and noble ladies to come into the palace to attend to her illness. Did Emperor An plan to have one person carry soup and medicine while a group of people watched, or did he plan to set up a stage to sing and cheer up the queen mother?
