Qingchuan History

Chapter 928 Great Expectations
Even pretending to be a palace lady, the queen's face is still too eye-catching.

"Your Highness, do you want to—" Dr. Cui walked forward quickly, but she couldn't help but glance back, hesitated to speak.

"No need." Ruan Xueyin bowed her head and followed closely, and replied quietly, "Whether you cover it or not, you will be interrogated. Keep this face, and you can say it when you prove your identity."

Dr. Cui was a little stunned by the phrase "self-identification", but the Changxin door was approaching, so she couldn't ask any more.

After the turmoil, the rule that the whole palace only opened the Zheng’an Gate remained unchanged, but the Changxin Gate would be opened once a day, only for a moment, at this time, fresh herbs picked from the Royal Medicine Garden on the outskirts of the city were sent to the Imperial Medical Bureau’s staff , the palace gate is closed.

The guards saw the token presented by Dr. Cui, and asked them to wait a moment, then turned around and slowly opened half of the palace gate, and the herbs were brought in.

Ruan Xueyin went straight up here, bowed to the guard and said: "I have ordered you to follow the master outside to the medicine garden." Then she looked at Dr. Cui.

Doctor Cui nodded, and then showed her token.

The guard frowned, "According to the order, everyone can only go in and out through the Zheng'an Gate, and recently no one in the inner palace is allowed to leave the palace, not even the queen."

Having said that, Fang looked carefully at Ruan Xueyin. Although the other party had her head bowed and her face plain, she was as white as snow with picturesque eyebrows, and her hands exposed outside the cuffs were as fine and white as jade and silk.

The guard's eyes froze for a moment.Dr. Cui wanted to reprimand her, she gritted her teeth and held back, then she heard the guard ask, "Which temple are you from? What's your name?"

Ruan Xueyin lowered her face for half a moment, then raised it completely, "Chengze Palace."

The cold eyes stared at the guard's face, causing the guard to startle, and then showed awe, "He is from the Queen's Palace. But," he exchanged glances with the other three guards on the side, "The rules are like this. Even if His Highness comes in person, I can't let you go. Please go back."

The long letter door, which was half opened, was then closed tightly. Ruan Xueyin glanced at the four guards, and took out a talisman from her waist. The cloud pattern on it was overturned, and the two engraving methods of yin and yang alternated and changed. .

All the guards who can work in Qi Palace recognize the Poyun Talisman.

Recently, in order to be safe, Gu Xinglang even made all the soldiers on duty in the palace hold the emperor's talisman closely.

The four guards were therefore very calm and did not show any signs of surprise. They seemed to be ready to verify the authenticity of the talisman, and then executed the daring woman in front of them on the spot.

The guard stretched out his right hand and twitched his fingers.

Ruan Xueyin handed the talisman into his palm.

The guard passed over the cloud pattern with his fingertips, his expression changed, and then he slid across half of the dragon pattern, shaking his hand, and looked at the other three in horror.

Surrounded by the other three, the No. 1 guard seemed to be burning his hands. He hurriedly handed over the talisman, and in less than a cup of tea, all four of them touched it once, and all of them changed color.

"Ben Gong is ordered to go out for a trip, and I will be back before the end of You hour. I also ask a few adults to explain when they change shifts, and then answer the door for me."

The four of them were shocked when they heard the words, "Asserting the humble position, please Your Highness—"

"You don't need to be too polite. Those who don't know are not guilty." Ruan Xueyin interrupted, speaking faster, "Open the door."

The four of them were on the ground with one knee, but they did not move. One of them boldly said: "Your Highness, forgive me! Your Majesty has clearly ordered that no one is allowed to leave the palace without permission, especially you, Your Highness."

This is probably the most famous order in the palace recently.Ruan Xueyin spoke faster, "There is a reason for the incident, otherwise your majesty would not have given the Poyun Talisman to this palace. Your majesty left the palace suddenly in the morning, I think you all know; now this palace is going out for the same thing, which is about the community. And it's a secret. Let it go quickly, if there is a delay, your heads will be lost."

The four were startled and uncertain, and even if they looked at each other again, they still dare not open the door.

"If that's the case, Your Majesty will send an order—"

"I will say this for the last time. The incident happened so suddenly that you didn't have time to issue an order. This cloud-breaking talisman is your order."

If Ruan Xueyin is just a "female streamer" who doesn't understand political affairs and the current situation, and has never participated in the disputes between the four countries, even if she talks about this, it still won't work.

But it's not, it's not at all - the empress is just as scheming to judge the world as the emperor, so it is credible to cooperate with the emperor to handle "secret and important matters related to the country" before going out of the palace.

With the Cloud Breaking Talisman, it is even more believable.

The Changxin door was half opened again, and Dr. Cui felt that she really wanted to follow her.The queen is alone, what will she do if she goes out of the palace like this?

- Jidu has never been as safe as today, don't worry.When you come to Changxinmen to pick up the palace.

The instructions are still clear in my ears, but the person has gone away.Dr. Cui watched the figure disappear into the gradually narrowing gap between the doors, and looked up at the sun.

His Highness has less than three hours available.

I just hope it goes well.

Ruan Xueyin seldom walked around in Jidu city, but she looked at the map countless times, went out of the palace gate, took a car from the medicine garden, and soon arrived at General Huqi's mansion.

"Ask Chai Yiyao to come out." She said to the guards outside the gate.

The two guards could only identify the emissaries from the palace by their attire. They wanted to ask more clearly, but they were frightened by the other party's very arrogant order. They looked at each other, and one of them rushed in to pass on the message.

It took a while to see her come back, followed by Chai Yiyao, wearing a homely underskirt and light gauze gown, her face full of suspicion, the moment she saw Ruan Xueyin, her doubts froze.

Then it dissipated quickly, and the sound was about to break out with the momentum of the trot down the steps: "Dian—"

Ruan Xueyin stared at her and shook her head slightly.

Chai Yiyao choked back her words, almost choked, ran down and stood still, and then said unnaturally: "Your honor is coming, I am not far away to welcome you." She tried hard to understand Ruan Xueyin's expression, tentatively,
"Please, come with me?"

Ruan Xueyin walked into Chai's mansion silently, walked silently through the vestibule which was open like a martial arts arena, and stood silently in the middle of the main hall, until Chai Yiyao led her father to appear quickly.

"Old minister—" Chai Zhan just started to worship.

"You don't have to be polite, General." Ruan Xueyin interrupted.She looked around to make sure no one was there, and said, "Take a step to speak."

Then Chai Yiyao led the way and took the two of them to the study.

As soon as the door was opened, a room full of weapons greeted her eyes, Chai Yiyao felt something was wrong, but Ruan Xueyin said: "It's good to be here."

The door was closed again, and Chai Yiyao stood guard outside.Ruan Xueyin and Chai Zhan sat opposite each other, took a look at the light of weapons and weapons in the room, and thought to himself that the general's study room was really extraordinary.

"I don't know what the general thinks about Jun Shang's recent actions." She didn't have time to exchange pleasantries, so she spoke concisely.

Chai Zhan Yilin, "Your Majesty is a wise ruler who never came from the world. He has been in power for ten years, and he has never made any mistakes—"

"There is no need to talk about the wheels. Then I will say it. I think it is not wise. The current action is indeed necessary, but we must be extra cautious in terms of speed. Stop, how do you say it in terms of morality and righteousness-this battle is indeed the first of the rebellious officials and thieves, and the righteousness is on the emperor's side, but you and I both know that the emperor's current actions are more for the purpose of strengthening the country, and also Violence is unavoidable—things that kill people, even crimes and punishments, have changed over time and with too much blood flow.”

She spoke very quickly, but her words were as clear as pearls falling on a jade plate.

This is Chai Zhan listening to Daqi's Zhonggong discussing political affairs close at hand.

It's amazing, and every sentence hits people's hearts.

So much so that he didn't speak for half a moment, looking at that beautiful face.It is extremely beautiful, but it does not give birth to the kind of scrutiny from men that ordinary beauty admirers would have.

He felt that the word "beauty" was not worthy of a queen.

"Your Highness, what you say makes sense." Then he returned, his face sinking like water.

Ruan Xueyin breathed a sigh of relief.She was afraid that Chai Zhanmingzhe was used to protecting himself, and he was still reluctant to take off his "armor".

"The general must be wondering, why didn't I speak directly to the emperor with these words, but came here to say these things to you, the general in this attire."

Chai Zhan caressed his beard for a moment, waiting for the next article.

"The rumors that have been raging in the whole of Daqi recently are aimed at me. Your Majesty originally stopped the killing in three, five, or ten days, and it seems that it will continue because of it. I can't persuade him."

Chai Zhan sighed, closing his eyes for a moment. "Your Majesty loves His Highness, and since the sixth year of Jinghong, no one has been able to persuade him. His Highness couldn't persuade him, and the old officials were even more helpless. The vacant harem broke the century-old rules of the dynasty. Back then, the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty opposed it. Your Highness is very sorry for this matter." clear."

Ruan Xueyin was fascinated by this sentence, and gradually smiled, "It was very clear at the time, and it is even clearer now than then." She withdrew her wandering gaze, looked back at Chai Zhan,

"What I didn't know at the time was that all these things that I take for granted and that are beneficial to the progress of generations will one day become sharp knives and pierce the heart of the dynasty."

Chai Zhan also looked at Ruan Xueyin, "Your Highness, do you regret it?"

"It's not my turn to regret it." Ruan Xueyin shook her head, and suddenly changed her self-proclaimed, "It's not up to me as a child to decide how to teach the teacher. I was even arranged to go to Pengxi Mountain. Does the general regret it?"

After a hundred years of contemplation, he was completely clear about this, and Ruan Xueyin was [-]% sure of this.

"No regrets." Chai Zhan replied, filling up the last point, "Your Majesty's performance today proves that Chai was the right choice. Da Qi will rule Qingchuan, and he will be an emperor through the ages."

Ruan Xueyin laughed completely, "I think so too. So Your Majesty cannot make mistakes in this matter."

She stood up and bowed solemnly to Chai Zhan.

Chai Zhan hurriedly got up and returned the salute as a minister.

"I will plead guilty, and if necessary, I will be punished like Ji Ping and the others. In this way, the killing can be stopped, the people's hearts can be at ease, and the truth and pros and cons can be taken into account. But I think this is not enough. Enough has died, in the current situation, there is still a way to consolidate the country."

She spoke too calmly and smoothly, with piercing eyes and radiant spirits.

Chai Zhan has seen countless deaths and deaths in the decades of fighting on the battlefield, but he has never seen anyone talk about going to death, with such a joyful attitude.

That expression seemed to say that she was doing a great thing, as great as the unification of Qingchuan—assisting a great king, fulfilling his great future, and accomplishing his eternal career.

It is indeed as remarkable as Unifying Qingchuan.

He just listened to her finish the strategy in one breath.

"The general is in the game, but he just made the opposite choice. I believe that it will work if you come forward to talk to the adults in the prison, and those who are still messing up the situation." She finally Dao, smiling like the stars on a summer night.

Chai Zhan was speechless for a moment.

Ruan Xueyin turned to look at the sun outside, and she was sure that it was still early, but she finished all the important points that should be said in the shortest time, and felt satisfied. "What worries does the general have, but it's okay to say."

Chai Zhan raised his eyes and said for a while, "Your Majesty will not agree with His Highness to do this."

"I don't need his consent, the confession is a matter for one person. And," Ruan Xueyin hesitated, "the joint is with me, and I will be the last one in this long battle. Your Majesty has already understood. He is holding on. Then I'll make the decision."

The sunlight was filtered by the window lattice and became gentle, dyeing Chai Zhan's brows and eyes with kindness, and the fighting in the room was just like a glittering decoration. "When does Your Highness plan to plead guilty?"

"After everything is arranged. It's rare to come out. If the general feels necessary, I can also go with you to meet the servants in the prison."

Chai Zhan was silent for a moment. "Why does Your Highness think that the old minister is willing to help you? Given the great love your Lord has for His Highness, if you know that the old minister is contributing to the flames, I, Chai,—"

"The general just said that the emperor will be an emperor through the ages. He won't. As for the reason the general asked, it is very simple-you want the prosperity of the great Qi, and you want to be the number one noble family under this prosperous dynasty. It is the best policy to understand what this palace is doing at this moment."

When the door opened, Chai Yiyao was looking at the sun on the flower branches in a daze.

Turning around and seeing Ruan Xueyin, she smiled unconsciously, and was about to speak when the other party preempted her: "Recently I've been bored at home, I can't hold back."

Chai Yiyao nodded, then shook her head, "I don't dare to be in a humble position." She still used the title of a sergeant.

"Heiyunqi is done, it won't just disappear. The people and things that have existed will always be there." Ruan Xueyin looked at her deeply, "Sometimes the timing is wrong and you need to lie dormant, but you must always believe in what you believe—— Hope, future, better generations."

Chai Yiyao can fully understand this, but she has too many doubts, "But now, now,"

"The timing is just wrong. Your Majesty has his own right and wrong in his heart, and what he does now is the current policy. As long as you are loyal to him and assist him, he will not disappoint you. You will live to wait for that generation."

Chai Yiyao felt that Ruan Xueyin's face was extremely bright in the monstrous sunlight - it had always been like this, the queen was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, she was a strange woman who really inspired everyone to have hope. "Remember." She nodded heavily, "With His Highness here, we have nothing to worry about."

Chai Zhan glanced at Ruan Xueyin.

Ruan Xueyin smiled, didn't answer this sentence, just about to walk away, when she remembered something, she turned to Chai Yiyao, "Xiangguofu, do you know how to sneak in?"

"what?"

Ruan Xueyin showed a sly face, "Chai Ying can, and you can too. Lead the way, and I will meet them."

Those girls should be beheaded today.

It is a temporary decree to postpone it until after the Tianchang Festival.

Chai Yiyao never rejected Ruan Xueyin, and immediately went out with the queen and father.

The scorching sun is like a fire, splashing and flowing, and it still refuses to die down at dusk, burning the clouds in the sky into different shades of red, blazing like the murderous intent and vitality transpiring in this land.

At the moment when Youshi was about to end, Ruan Xueyin appeared outside Changxin's door.The door is open, wide open, and one can see the guards who have changed their shift and the people waiting further away.

Doctor Cui.

There are also Diyan and Tangli.

She took a deep breath and walked slowly into the palace gate.

"Your Majesty is waiting at the Mingluan Palace." Di Yan stepped forward to greet her, "Your Highness, please go with me."
