Chapter 43
Liu Quan knelt on the ground, with Pei Qing's black soap boots in front of him.

"what happened?"

"Subordinate... This subordinate has already found out where Xie Hesi is hiding, but when he took people there..."

"Turned out it was a trap, huh?"

Pei Qing interrupted Liu Quan's reply, his words were indifferent and straightforward.

"stand up."

Liu Quan froze, then slowly straightened up.

"I didn't find anyone, and I turned my own people in." Pei Qing looked down, her eyes were emotionless, as if she was looking at something dispensable.

"Liu Quan, has An Sheng lived too long?"

Liu Quan was dripping with cold sweat, but he didn't dare to beg for mercy, he froze there as if he lost his mind and soul.

"Leave this matter to Wei Ping for now."

Pei Qingfu glanced at Liu Quan again, then walked away.Only then did Liu Quan relax, and sat down on the ground to calm his heartbeat.

It's too bad...the palm print didn't even punish him, could it be... Could it be that he was completely disappointed in him?

Liu Quan's face turned pale, he strenuously stood up, and walked out in a flash.

On Qinzhou's side, not long after Emperor Liang's decree arrived, the Xiye Mission also arrived.

It was a coincidence that Xi Yeyuan hadn't agreed to let the embassy go to negotiate a peace, but seeing that the embassy was already within the boundaries of Qinzhou, he had to agree if he didn't agree.

Ye Ning Ah Chu and Song Qinghuai both knew each other's minds, they pretended to talk secretly in the tent for several days, and finally came out together to express the conclusion of the peace negotiation.

Song Qinghuai actually didn't like the Second Prince Xiye, who looked a lot like him, especially when he mentioned Song Qing'an.

The final result was a 30-year truce between Daliang and Xiye. During this period, Xiye had to pay tribute to Daliang twice a year, and the Xiye army in the frontier had to retreat hundreds of miles.

Compared with the previous conditions, these are already considered good.After Yening Achu conveyed his meaning to Xiye, he received a happy reply from King Xiye.General Dahe was released to go back to Xiye with the mission. When Yening Achu first saw General Dahe, he felt that he had a strange look on his face.It seems that he hesitated to speak.

"General, but did they treat you badly?"

"No." General Dahe frowned, seemed to struggle for a while, and then said seriously to Yening Achu: "Second Highness, I think there is something hidden behind the defeat in Xiye."

When he said this, he didn't lower his voice very much, so that everyone in the group looked over.Although most of them were from Yening Achu, he hurriedly stopped General Dahe from continuing.

"There are too many people, the general must not mention it again."

Ye Ning's face turned cold: "If the general really feels something is wrong, Gu will explain it to his father after returning to the court. It will not be too late for the general to mention it."

General Dahe thought so deeply, so he didn't say any more.

After the peace talks, Song Qinghuai and Qiu Wenhua sent the mission out of the city gate together.

Qiu Wenhua said quite meaningfully: "Your Highness, this mission came just in time."

"Probably a coincidence."

Song Qinghuai smiled warmly, without denying it.

Qiu Wenhua took a deep look at Song Qinghuai: "It's okay if it's really a coincidence, I'm worried that someone did it on purpose."

Song Qinghuai couldn't avoid meeting Qiu Wenhua's eyes: "Governor Qiu, don't worry, if there is such a person, I will find him no matter what."

Qiu Wenhua laughed a few times, but didn't answer any more.

He did admire the Second Highness, but he always felt that the Second Highness was a bit too perfect.

Qiu Wenhua knew that Song Qinghuai was the prince, and as long as he was not executed, he would always have the possibility of ascending to the highest position.After this encounter, although everything seems to have nothing to do with Song Qinghuai, everything has a subtle connection with him.

Qiu Wenhua was worried that Song Qinghuai would do something harmful to the country for his own sake. His worry was not unreasonable.

It's just that he suspects the wrong person.

After all, from the beginning to the end, it was Princess Zhaoding, Song Qing'an who was far away in Beijing, who planned all this.

After the results of the peace talks were reported back to the capital, Liang Emperor Longyan was very happy, and Jiang Taishi and Jiang Zhiqian's harem hinted together that Liang Emperor immediately issued an order to call the second prince back to Beijing.

Following this decree, Changle Palace closed its doors to thank guests, and Liu Xiang took leave during the court meeting on the second day.

Song Qing'an was really happy, dug out the wine jar again, and drank with bamboo smoke.Song Qing'an fell down first, Zhuyan managed to stay awake and pulled Song Qing'an to bed, then fell asleep on the edge of the bed.

"Princess, Zhuyan, wake up quickly."

When Cuizhu came in the next day, seeing the appearance of the master and servant, she couldn't help rubbing her forehead.

Song Qing'an opened his eyes in bewilderment, and then Cui Zhu continued: "Eunuch Xuanzhi is coming soon, princess, get up and wash up."

Zhuyan was still better than Song Qingan, she woke up when Cuizhu entered the hall.Hearing this, Zhuyan got up immediately, and together with Cuizhu pulled Song Qingan up from the bed.

Several people finished dressing Song Qing'an in a hurry, and the person who announced the decree arrived just in time.

"...Moved to Mingguang Palace. Here we are."

Are you moving to the palace?

Song Qing'an received the imperial edict and secretly squinted his eyes.

Mingguang Palace...isn't that... a palace that is very close to Ningshuiyuan?
The location of Mingguang Palace is subtle, the palace gardens are denser to the east, and too remote to the west.And in its southwest position, there is a dense forest.After the dense forest is Ningshuiyuan.

That was what she saw on the way to Ningshuiyuan for the first time.

Pei Qing...

Speaking of Pei Qing, although I haven't seen him for a long time, he still has a lot of things.There are more strange things in Changning Palace every now and then.

Or the small clay figurines of candied haws in the folk, or the jewelry rouge in the largest gold and silver shop or rouge shop in central Beijing.Song Qing'an always felt a little headache when faced with these things.

It's okay to eat the ones that can be eaten... But as long as the rest of the things are kept in the palace, they will always be discovered.

Having said that, Song Qing'an still liked it somewhat, with a bit of sour feeling.

She was in a trance, and it had been a long time since she felt so missed.

Song Qing'an looked down at the bright yellow silk silk spread out on the case, thinking silently.

Pei's palm print... If you treat me so well, I will... repay you.

"Princess, it's New Year's Eve."

Song Qing'an came back to his senses in time and put away the imperial edict.

She stood up, looked at the New Year who entered the hall, and said with a smile:
"Eunuch He Nian, I want to ask you for help with something."

"what's up?"

It was rare for Pei Qing to go back to Ningshuiyuan. He Nian came to ask to see him not long after sitting in the study.

"Report the palm print, Princess Zhaoding invites Master Palm Print to the Plum Garden."

Pei Qing was silent, put down the letter in her hand, and looked down at the New Year's greetings with deep eyes.

……

He finally went to the plum garden. The weather has gradually warmed up in the past few days, but it is still cold at night.

Wearing a crane cloak and walking among the plum trees, Pei Qing actually felt a little bit like the wind and the moon.

In the empty plum garden, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Under the alienated moonlight, the girl's long hair was tied up with a silver hairpin, and the tassels on the hairpin swayed slightly, reflecting a delicate streamer.

He Nian, who was leading the way, quietly stepped aside when he saw this, and then left quietly.

Pei Qing didn't care about He Nian's whereabouts, her lacquered eyes just stared at that figure.

But seeing the person in front of him turned his face slightly as if he heard the movement behind him, the small half of his face was clearly Song Qing'an.

She raised her hand in front of her, and a moment later, the cloak on her body fell to the ground and piled up at her feet.

Pei Qing lacquered her eyes, looking at the graceful figure outlined by the thin dance dress.
