Qi Xianguan has completely lived in Qin Yao's house and will not move anywhere.
I only occasionally go back to have dinner with my family, and I rush back to sleep before the curfew at night.
February 2 is the day when the dragon raises its head.
As usual, Qi Xianguan was taken back to Qi Mansion by the Qi Mansion coachman to have dinner with his elders.
Unexpectedly, it was less than an hour after I left home.
Suddenly he came back again, riding back on horseback, looking very hurried.
Qin Yao's family and their guest Ma Yang were having dinner together. When they heard a knock on the door, Yin Le got up and opened the door.
"Young Master Qi."
Before Yin Le finished speaking, Qi Xianguan had already dismounted and walked through the door to the main hall.
"My elders have just been recruited into the palace. I'm afraid the emperor is in trouble."
Qi Xianguan's voice was deliberately lowered.
Liu Ji and Mayang were still frightened when they heard this.
They were not worried about what happened to the emperor, but that the spring palace was coming soon. If the emperor died and the country mourned, wouldn't the spring palace have to be postponed?
It's just a matter of postponement, I'm afraid it will be canceled directly in the spring of this year, when that time comes.
Don't dare to think about it, Ma Yang doesn't dare to think about it at all.
Liu Ji's heart skipped a few beats, but his face looked calm.
Let Qi Xianguan sit down and explain in detail.
"Are you sure you didn't enter the palace because of important matters to discuss?" Liu Ji still had some luck.
After all, on New Year's Eve, the emperor and the queen stood on the tower of Ziwei Palace to celebrate with the people.
Everyone stood up.
It's only the first month of the year, so it won't work?
Before Qi Xianguan could speak, Yin Le from outside the door ran in and said:
"Master! I saw Mr. Wang following the palace servants to Ziwei Palace."
As soon as Yin Le said these words, Qin Yao's heart skipped a beat.
Since the case of King Feng passed, Wang Jin has been promoted two levels in a row and is now the fifth-rank censor Zhongcheng.
To sit in this position at such a young age shows that he has received divine grace.
If Wang Jin rushes to Ziwei Palace, then Qi Xianguan's guess just now will be very close to the truth.
"Awang." Qin Yao shouted.
Awang immediately stepped forward, "What are your orders, madam?"
Qin Yao waved to him to come closer, and whispered in his ear: "Go and keep an eye on the Imperial Master's Mansion to see what's going on."
Awang took the order.
I wasn't full for dinner yet, so I grabbed a steamed bun, ate it, and went out immediately.
"Wait, eat and wait." Qin Yao said to everyone.
She was like a needle that fixed the sea. As long as she was around, Liu Ji felt there was nothing to panic about.
Besides, Awang has been sent to inquire, and it will take time for the news to come back, so it is better to fill his stomach first.
Liu Ji quickly calmed down, signaled to the flustered Ma Yang not to worry, and then asked Qi Xianguan:
"Senior brother, let's have something to eat together?"
Qi Xianguan nodded. He came here without eating and was hungry.
Yin Leduo brought a pair of bowls and chopsticks over, and everyone continued to eat the unfinished dinner.
Waiting for news from Awang.
It's just that the adults have little appetite because they are thinking about things.
If the emperor dies, it will affect the whole body.
Not only the Spring Festival will be affected, but the whole country will face unknown big changes.
And tonight, Ziwei Palace may also be in chaos.
As a commoner, Qin Yao only hopes that Chi Yu will not be harmed.
After dinner, Erlang, Sanlang and Four Niang did not go back to the house to review their lessons as usual.
Qin Yao asked them to stay and read and practice calligraphy in the hall.
At the same time, listen to the changes outside and be aware of them. It was late at night as everyone waited.
There is no need for Awang to come back and report.
Because all the guards in Kyoto were mobilized, the city gate at Beiding Gate was opened to let people go in the middle of the night.
With the movement, people all over the city could smell the signs of a storm coming.
At midnight, Awang finally escaped the heavy defenses in the city and climbed over the wall into the courtyard.
Liu Ji Teng suddenly stood up and asked, "How is it? Is it your Majesty?" Liu Ji didn't have the guts to say it.
Awang didn't shake his head or nod. He found Qin Yao first and then spoke out what he had learned.
There has indeed been a big change in Ziwei Palace. Everyone from the Imperial Master's Office has entered the palace, including the miracle doctor.
I guess it's the one in the palace who is seriously ill.
At present, all the princes and princes of the third rank and above have been summoned to Ziwei Palace.
In the camp on the outskirts of the city, most of the private soldiers brought by the Xu family had entered the palace at night.
The yamen in the entire Jingzhao Mansion are busy, and the Ziwei Palace Royal Guards are under martial law, guarding all major entrances and exits of Kyoto City.
With so many things added together, the situation is serious, but the accurate news has not yet spread from the palace.
Ma Yang secretly slapped his thigh, now the Spring Festival really can't be held as scheduled!
Liu Ji looked at Qin Yao and then at Qi Xianguan. The two of them were indifferent, as if the spring wedding could not be held as scheduled and it was an insignificant matter.
As everyone knows, compared with the change of throne, Chunwei is really nothing.
"Have the prince and the eldest princess entered the palace?" Qin Yao asked.
Awang nodded: "Everyone in the East Palace Mansion and the Eldest Princess Mansion has gone."
Okay, Qin Yao is almost certain that the emperor has passed away.
I don't know if he has left any edicts or who he plans to pass the throne to.
As if he knew what Qin Yao was thinking, Qi Xianguan pondered for a moment and said softly:
"Although the city is busy at the moment, there is no chaos. It should be the crown prince's succession."
"Madam, I have to go home." Qi Xianguan looked at Qin Yao with some embarrassment, asking her to give him a ride.
Otherwise, with so many soldiers outside right now, he wouldn't be able to go back at all.
Qin Yao nodded and signaled him to wait a moment.
Explain the matter to the children first, so that they can go back to the house and sleep without worries.
Then he said to Ma Yang who was sighing: "Now that the national mourning is imminent, let's put aside the Spring Festival issue for the time being and wait and see. When encountering such a thing, we ordinary people can only passively adapt."
"Instead of internal friction, it is better to change our thinking and pretend that God gives us more time to prepare."
That's what he said, but Liu Ji still felt aggrieved and sighed, "Oh~" "What bad luck!"
"Junior brother, be careful what you say!" Qi Xianguan warned sternly, "In the face of such a major event, you must be cautious about what you say and do. If you make the slightest mistake, your life may be in danger!"
Liu Ji was reminded by him and realized that he had made a mistake. He quickly covered his mouth and said he would not say it again.
He didn't want to be executed by everyone.
"You guys go to sleep, I will see off the young master." After Qin Yao told everyone, she led Qi Xianguan out.
The night was very dark, but because of the bright candlelights burning everywhere in the city, the entire sky was covered with an orange light.
There is no moon tonight, and only vague shadows of the houses on the street can be seen.
Qi Xianguan nervously followed Qin Yao out of the back alley and couldn't help but ask in a low voice:
"Madam, how do we go? Do we have to climb over the walls?"
Qin Yao looked back and saw the handsome young man's eyes shining with expectation.
I can't help but smile, I'm still a child.
She asked jokingly: "Young master, don't you want to take the ordinary path?"
Qi Xianguan nodded excitedly.
So, the next second, Qin Yao grabbed him by the collar. (End of chapter)
