Chapter 41 Song Qinglan

When Qinzhou Zoubao arrived in the capital, it happened to be the day Song Qinglan entered Beijing.

The [-]-mile urgent report woke up the entire court like a thunderbolt.

Liu Xiang's complexion was a bit ugly, and from the meaning of the report, it was clear that Song Qinghuai had made great contributions.If he was asked to do something, Emperor Liang would not be able to call him back to Beijing.

Emperor Liang was drowsy all the time in court, but he regained some energy this day and asked, "How is the situation in Qinzhou now?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Governor Qiu and His Highness the Second Highness are still recovering from their injuries, and Xi Ye has been sending people to ask for a peace agreement."

"Then who is going to negotiate a peace..."

Emperor Liang murmured, Jiang Taishi came out with his wat: "Your Majesty, I think you can send your Second Highness there."

"Since Nada and the general were captured by the Second Highness, it is most appropriate for him to negotiate peace with the Xiye people."

"The Grand Master's words are wrong." Liu Xiang also came out and said, "Although the Second Highness has made great achievements, but he is still young, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to take up the position. The people of Xiye are cunning, if the Second Highness is deceived and hurts Daliang's interests, So who is to blame?"

Jiang Taishi turned to Liu Xiang with a cold expression: "Then who does the prime minister think he can send?"

"Naturally, it is the governor of Qinzhou." Liu Xiang looked at Emperor Liang and said respectfully, "Governor Qiu has been in Qinzhou for more than ten years, so he knows Xiye well. It would be safer to let him go."

"Did the Prime Minister listen to the report carefully just now?" Jiang Taishi smiled, "Governor Qiu said that the strategy to retreat from the enemy came from His Highness Second Highness. Why can't someone who even Governor Qiu is sure of come forward to negotiate a peace?"

"How can things on the battlefield be the same as this!"

Liu Xiang snorted coldly, his tone was cold and firm, and he did not back down.

"enough."

Emperor Liang's voice was not loud, but it silenced the two people who were fighting each other for an instant.

Ever since King Xuan entered the capital, Emperor Liang had been displeased with Liu Xiang; what's more, with Liu Qiyun's affairs recently, he was even annoyed when he heard Liu Xiang speak.

He pondered for a moment, then said: "Since that man was captured by Qing Huai, let him come forward and talk to Xi Ye."

"His Majesty……"

"Be sure to convey what I mean, and frustrate Xi Ye's spirit!"

Before Liu Xiang continued to argue, Emperor Liang added, and the final decision was made.

Pei Qing stood aside and said to Emperor Liang in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Xiye Mission should still be in Daliang."

Emperor Liang frowned: "So what?"

"Your Majesty, aren't the Xiye missions from Xiye?" Pei Qing curled her lips together, "We know how many people there are in the mission. If that's the case, why don't you ask Xiye to allow the mission to negotiate peace with His Highness the Second Highness? "

When Emperor Liang heard this, his cloudy eyes lit up.

"Exactly!"

With a big wave of his hand, Dang even issued two orders.

The first one is to order Song Qinghuai to discuss peace with Xiye.

The second article requires negotiating peace with the mission, otherwise they will not be released.

Emperor Liang originally wanted to issue a third order to call Song Qinghuai back to Beijing, but Liu Xiang said that the matter in Qinzhou had not been resolved, so he would wait until the dust settled.

Although Emperor Liang didn't want to see Liu Xiang, he also felt that there was some truth in this statement, so he didn't mention it again.

The court discussion dissipated. In the past, Jiang Taishi was always overwhelmed by Liu Xiang, but now he is proud.When passing by Liu Xiang, Grand Master Jiang snorted provocatively.

Liu Xiang stared at Taishi Jiang's back, and flicked his sleeves bitterly.

"Ning and the Princess are here—"

Accompanied by the sound of paging, the mighty guard of honor stopped outside Changle Palace.Song Qinglan got up and got off the chariot, her delicate face seemed calm, but her hurried steps still revealed her true thoughts.

She originally went to Chongming Palace first, but Emperor Liang was probably annoyed by her act of beheading first and playing later, so he didn't see her.So Song Qinglan didn't wait long outside Chongming Palace, and went straight back to Changle Palace.

She has heard about what happened in the palace earlier.Song Qinglan didn't even need to think about it, he knew that there should be Concubine Chen's handwriting.

"Mother!" Song Qinglan hurried into the courtyard, seeing Liu Qiyun who was waiting, couldn't help but exhale.Then she took a deep breath, raised the hem of her skirt and knelt down on the ground, saluted respectfully, and the attendants behind her knelt down.

"Qinglan pays homage to the empress."

Song Qinglan lowered her head, her nose felt sour.

"Get up." Liu Qiyun felt distressed, and quickly helped Song Qinglan up from the ground. She looked at Song Qinglan's face carefully, "Lan'er lost weight, but was wronged in Linzhou?"

"It's nothing, Zihuai treated me very well. Xu is traveling all the way, so it's inevitable that it will be easier."

Zihuai is the name of the son-in-law Xie Hechen, who is still in Linzhou.

Song Qinglan comforted her mother in a low voice, and entered the hall with her, while the attendants waited outside the hall.

Liu Qiyun retreated from everyone in the palace, leaving only Fuxia to wait on her.She took Song Qinglan's hand and sat on the couch, worried: "Why do you come here without caring about it? Fortunately, His Majesty does not blame you. When will this reckless temper change?"

Song Qinglan sighed, and said, "If it wasn't for the emergency, of course I wouldn't do this. Let's not mention this for now. How is mother these few days?"

Speaking of this, Liu Qiyun twitched the corners of her mouth: "Thanks to her, I am much more free."

"I've heard it all. Don't worry, mother, she won't be complacent for too long."

Song Qinglan held Liu Qiyun's hand tightly and lowered her voice.

"By the way, mother, I heard about it when I was in Linzhou. Father... conferred the third sister, Princess Zhaoding?"

As soon as Liu Qiyun heard this, she remembered the two things Song Qing'an had said about her in succession, and she couldn't maintain her expression for a while: "Yes... you, the third sister, may be patient now."

Liu Qiyun took the teacup from Fuxia, her phoenix eyes were serious: "Do you think that a concubine Chen can make mother like this?"

Song Qinglan frowned slightly: "Mother means...it shouldn't be?"

In Song Qinglan's impression, before the accident, Song Qing'an was innocent and overly skinny; after the accident, he changed his temper. According to Song Qinglan's guess, he probably became weak and introverted.

As for the others... Song Qinglan never thought about it.

Liu Qiyun glanced sideways: "That's natural. Concubine Chen has been with me for so many years, how has she ever won against me?"

"Lan'er, don't underestimate her. Your third younger sister is similar to her mother, but not like her."

Liu Qiyun gently blew the hot air on the surface of the tea water, her eyes became dim.

Thinking of the news that Fuxia brought after she went to the Needle Factory a few days ago, she was afraid for a while.I didn't expect...to not even hide from such an inconspicuous person.

Although Song Qinglan didn't quite believe it, she still listened to Liu Qiyun's words.So she agreed, while secretly thinking about meeting Song Qing'an.

"Third sister...does she still live there now?"

"Yes, but... Maybe it's time to move to the palace soon?" Liu Qiyun raised her eyebrows, "After all, the power of the Six Palaces is now in the hands of Concubine Chen, so she won't treat her too badly."

"Are you going to see her?"

Liu Qiyun naturally knew the purpose of Song Qinglan's question.

Song Qinglan nodded slowly, and then heard Liu Qiyun chuckle: "Yes, after all, they are sisters, and you, the elder sister, should go and see."

"But Lan'er, please remember, your return to Beijing this time is not for mother's sake." Liu Qiyun put away her smile, her expression solemn, "Do what you have to do, mother doesn't want...you to be involved."

Seeing Liu Qiyun's rare seriousness, Song Qinglan straightened her body and said seriously: "Mother, don't worry."

Her return to Beijing had nothing to do with Liu Qiyun.

Her sister-in-law, Xie Hesi, Xie Hechen's younger sister, was missing.

Xie Hesi originally came to the capital during the Lantern Festival, and he never imagined that after the Lantern Festival, the people of Xie Mansion would not be able to find Xie Hesi no matter what.

The reason why he didn't report to the official is... Xie Hesi still sent a letter to Linzhou after his disappearance.The things in Xie's mansion are special, the letter is undoubtedly from Xie Hesi, and judging from the meaning above, this is probably her escape.

Although Song Qinglan and Xie Hechen felt relieved because of this, they still wanted to find Xie Hesi.

It is always more convenient for Song Qinglan to find people in Beijing. Not long after getting the news, Song Qinglan set off for the capital.
