Chapter 15 Dark Tide
Seeing the old Taoist bowing down, Emperor Liang rushed forward to help him: "Master Wu, didn't I say that you don't need to salute when you see me!"

Immortal Wu stood up, and Emperor Liang walked up again, followed by him with small steps: "Does Your Majesty have anything to ask the poor Taoist?"

"I'll do the calculations with you, can the third princess marry Xi Ye?"

Immediately, Wu Zhenren stepped aside, pretending to count with his fingers.Emperor Liang kept turning his head to look at Master Wu while walking.

But seeing him shook his head and sighed.Emperor Liang's heart suddenly rose, and he hurried to the front: "But what's wrong?"

Wu Zhenren narrowed his eyes, stroked his white beard, and said slowly: "If you make the three princesses get married, it will solve the temporary difficulties, but there will be endless troubles."

"what?"

"The third princess is destined to be Quaker. If she marries Xiye far away, it will make Xiye stronger and will definitely turn against us."

At this time, Master Wu changed his previous timid and cautious appearance, his face was serious, and his words directly suppressed the enthusiasm of Emperor Liang.

Due to the influence of Hanshi San, Emperor Liang's mind was like a paste.He lost his mind and turned his head to look at Pei Qing: "Pei Qing, what do you think... What do you think should be done?"

Pei Qing stood in a slightly dark place by the candlelight, half of her body was in the shadow.Hearing this, he smiled, and said in a dark voice, "Go back to Your Majesty, I think it's just a matter of getting married with the princess."

"Master Palmprint, this method is feasible."

Immortal Wu quickly answered the call to calm Emperor Liang's mind.

"The Xiye Mission is about to enter Beijing, where should I find the new princess?"

"Your Majesty, since there were omissions in the selection made by the imperial concubine earlier, I think that the selection of Liu's daughter should be regarded as the imperial concubine's mistake."

Pei Qing's words can be punished and disrespectful, but Emperor Liang obviously didn't care, and even agreed: "What Qing said is true, let's do as you want."

Pei Qing cupped her hands: "Since Master Wu is here, the minister will take his leave first."

Emperor Liang responded indiscriminately, and then talked about other matters with Master Wu.

Pei Qing withdrew from the inner hall and walked slowly to the outside of Chongming Palace.

Although she knew that what Wu Zhenren said was all nonsense, when she thought of Song Qing'an, the pair of Yinhong butterfly wings appeared in front of Pei Qing's eyes.

Perhaps it was true as the old Taoist said, in his opinion, if Song Qing'an really married Xiye, it would turn the Xiye Harem upside down.

The King of the West Night, who was fascinated by his mind, led his troops to attack, it is unknown.

Thinking of the few poisonous clothes that were still placed in the East Factory, Pei Qing's heart sank.

The princess has caused a lot of trouble, and what he has done has already exceeded the agreement at the time.

Should get something in return...

Pei Qing twirled the jade finger, suddenly missing the soft touch.



In the afternoon of the next day, Emperor Liang summoned Liu Sijin into the palace.

Liu Sijin is the youngest concubine in Liu Xiang's family, but Liu Xiang carefully cultivated Liu Sijin in order to win over the courtiers.At the age of twenty-eight, he already has a small reputation in Beijing.

When Song Qing'an found out about this, it was already time for dinner. Zhu Yan chattered while laying vegetables: "I heard that the imperial concubine went to Chongming Palace to see His Majesty, but she was stopped outside and knelt for an hour. When she returned, she almost fell off the steps. .”

"Can she not be impatient?"

Song Qing'an could already imagine Liu Qiyun's mood at that time. The young concubine who had been carefully cultivated and was about to enter the palace seemed to be. If she was favored for a while, she might be neglected by Liu Xiang.

But... Emperor Liang has been obsessed with seeking immortality these years, and he is not a person who is impatient.It was a bit strange to call Liu Sijin so suddenly.

Some ideas will take root and germinate in the heart as long as they take root.

Song Qing'an's eyes lit up slightly, could it be... Liu Sijin didn't want to enter the palace as a concubine, but...

Suddenly there was a thin cat meowing outside the window, Zhuyan put down her chopsticks as usual, and walked to the window.

"How can there be cats in such cold weather?"

Zhu Yan complained and opened the window to drive away.After a while, she gently closed the window, and when she reached Song Qingan's side, she handed over the note in the sleeve robe.

Song Qing'an glanced at it, then put the note on the candle lamp and burned it.

The confetti with sparks scattered, reflected in her pupils, flickering.Zhu Yan carefully looked at Song Qing'an's face, and finally couldn't help asking: "Second Highness, he..."

Thinking of the news on the note, Song Qing'an couldn't help pressing his temple.

"Brother, he was blocked as expected." Song Qing'an felt a burst of irritability in his heart. Originally, he was expecting his elder brother to return to Beijing, but Liu Qijun and Liu Xiang disturbed him so much, and he didn't know how long he should wait.

Zhu Yan knew what was going on in his heart, so he persuaded: "Princess, don't worry too much, Second Highness will definitely come back."

"I know, I'm just worried...someone will come back earlier than my brother."

Song Qingan's eyes darkened, and the calm water gradually became dark and treacherous.

King Xuan.

After Emperor Liang ascended the throne, King Xuan was driven to the fiefdom of Bashu and never returned to Beijing.

But right now... I'm afraid someone can't sit still.

I just don't know, what excuse did they find for King Xuan?
"Your Majesty, I have something to announce."

During the court meeting, Liu Xiangchi wat came out and respectfully said to the dragon chair.

Emperor Liang's eyes were half closed, and he looked very sleepy: "Say."

"The festive season of Shangyuan is approaching, and it's also the joy of the canonization of Princess Zhaoding. I have the courage to implore your Majesty to issue an order for His Highness King Xuan to return to Beijing."

As soon as the voice fell, the hall was instantly silent.Emperor Liang straightened up slowly, and said in a low voice, "What did you say?"

"I implore Your Majesty to order His Royal Highness King Xuan to return to Beijing."

Liu Xiang gave a serious look, and repeated it again.

Standing by the side of the dragon chair, Pei Qing could not help but glance at Liu Xiang.

Is this old man who is used to seeing the wind and steering the rudder today possessed by a demon?

Sure enough, Emperor Liang laughed back in anger, all the officials in the hall knelt down, and no one dared to look up.

Liu Xiang was like standing out from the crowd, standing straight on the spot with a loyal look.

"Liu Ziming, what good did he promise you?"

Emperor Liang was so angry that he called out Liu Xiang's name directly.Liu Xiang's complexion turned pale, but his attitude was firm.

"Everything is my personal opinion, and has nothing to do with His Royal Highness Xuan."

"I think that the Shangyuan Festival should be a day of reunion. His Royal Highness Xuan Wang has not been back to Beijing for several years, so we should get together. This is also a testimony for the canonization ceremony of Princess Zhaoding."

Pei Qing raised her eyebrows, she understood what Liu Xiang was thinking.

Emperor Liang was suspicious by nature, and he killed many heroes earlier.Many of them were loyal ministers who were mistakenly killed. After so many years, Emperor Liang became obsessed with the way of seeking immortality, and what happened in his early years became karma in his heart.

Although he is still suspicious, he has become partial to the set of "loyal ministers directly admonishing".

Liu Xiang did it on purpose this time, even though his rhetoric was a bit lame, but after all, he already had an attitude.

It depends on whether Emperor Liang is willing to accept it.

Pei Qing glanced at Emperor Liang and felt that he was pitiful.

Courtiers plot, sons and daughters bear grudges, brothers fight against each other...

All the ministers under the audience bowed their heads and listened to each other, but all of them were planning in their hearts.

The hall was so quiet that it was frightening. After an unknown amount of time, Emperor Liang sneered, but said, "Then I will listen to you."

"Pei Qing, pass on my will, immediately summon King Xuan to return to Beijing."

"Yes."

Pei Qing responded in a low voice, and when she glanced sideways, she met Liu Xiang's gaze.

Pei Qing snorted and looked away.

What did they want to do, and what did it matter to him?
Whoever sits in this position is the same to Pei Qing.

As long as Emperor Liang is gone, no matter who the new successor is, he will not be spared.

Such an ending was foreseen by Pei Qing when she entered the palace.

He was someone who was not expected, always has been.

Emperor Liang was reprimanding Liu Xiang, but Liu Xiang's goal had already been achieved, and being reprimanded and fined a salary was not painful.

Pei Qing lowered her eyes and looked at His Highness expressionlessly, but Song Qing'an's figure appeared in front of her eyes.

In the plum garden that day, she raised her head, her eyes were full of passion, and she just looked at him like that.

"Then... I will love you."

Will anyone love him?Love his crippled body, the lowly man.

Pei Qing rarely felt a little confused.

Who can tell the truth from the fake?
