Chapter 73: All are chess pieces

The emperor said he would stay in the palace for three days, but he really stayed for three days. During the period, many people asked for visits, but the emperor never saw anyone, so everyone really asked the princess, and Qi Yang only revealed some news ambiguously.
On the third day, Qi Yang was always a little uneasy, so he said to Lu Qipei: "Surely it will not involve you?"
Lu Qipei drank tea in peace, and smiled soothingly after hearing the words, "Naturally not." She said, suddenly took out a note from her sleeve and handed it to Qi Yang: "The news they just received, they hide well. Now."
Qi Yang was a little surprised. He took the letter and took a look at the doubt. What was written on it was indeed the undercurrent surging in Beijing during these three days. It's just that she didn't ask the content of the note after reading it, instead she asked: "Where did you hear the news?!"
In fact, Qi Yang thought of the channels through which Lu Qipei could obtain news, but Lu Family and Qi Bo. She also knows that Qi Bo has paid more attention to Lu Qipei in the past few months, and even revealed the secret of her life experience to her. But this is the palace, even if Qi Bo wants to send news to Lu Qipei, he shouldn’t be so silent, unless there are also people from the Lu family in the palace...
Just thinking about it, Qi Yang felt shuddering. If there are even remote palaces lurking in the hills, what about the imperial palace and the court? Doesn't what they dug up is not even the tip of the iceberg? !
Lu Qipei watched her look and knew what she was thinking, and couldn't help but laugh: "Aning thinks too much. Nowadays, there are more than the original palace people in the palace, and there are many people who accompanied them. This news was sent by an official servant. "
Qi Yang didn't know if she should breathe a sigh of relief after hearing it. She rubbed her forehead with a headache, always feeling that the more she checked, the more the forces behind it were intertwined. By this time, she even felt that she had died unjustly in her previous life, but people always wanted to live.
Upon seeing this, Lu Qipei put down the tea cup, took the initiative to get up and rubbed her temples for her, and then sighed, "It's still a long time, what are you so anxious about?" She said, lowering her head slightly and rubbing her chin against Qi Yang's hair: " I think the development is pretty good now."
At least compared to the powerlessness of the previous life, she is already eating away at the power at hand.
Qi Yang relaxed, and leaned back into Lu Qipei's arms slightly, his anxiety was relieved by Lu Qipei a little bit. The two are now one, and she can't help but look forward to their future. But neither Xie Yuan nor the emperor can easily destroy their fragile happiness and future, so they cannot relax, dare not compromise, and must fight for a way out.
But as Lu Qipei said, she seemed to be a little too nervous, but the emperor's slight expression of strange color made her feel uneasy for several days. If things go on like this, the string will always break... It's ridiculous that she still wanted to be Lu Qipei's support to keep her pure.
Seeing that she relaxed, Lu Qipei stopped continuing the topic, and instead talked about the message on the note: "With the sacrifice to the heavens, your Majesty has been away from Beijing for four days, and the night of the winter solstice has been summoned overnight. The doctor is coming to the palace. Now there are rumors in Beijing that his majesty is seriously ill, and the prince is far away in northern Xinjiang. People's hearts are floating, it is indeed a'good time'."
The opportunity created by the emperor himself made it clear who he was.
Today, only the three princes who have not participated in the sacrifice to the sky are still in Beijing. He fought for power in the dynasty and defeated in northern Xinjiang, but this was not the reason the emperor targeted him.
Perhaps it shouldn't be called a target, it is more appropriate to call it a temptation-the Beijiang incident has made the emperor suspicious, but he also understands the disposition of the three princes. If there is no conspiracy behind him, but only a foothold, he will not dare to do anything. But if someone encourages him to add to the flames, then this time he will be "seriously ill" when he leaves Beijing, and a change in Beijing will be inevitable.
The emperor was cold-hearted, if it were the former, he would still want this son. If it is the latter, the end of the three princes can be imagined.
When Lu Qipei and Qi Yang read the information on the paper, they understood that the three princes had already been in the set. As stupid as he is, it is still a two-person suit. If the emperor found out his heart, he would surely punish the treason. Xie Yuan was just reaping the profits, seeing Liang's domestic chaos.
As I said long ago, Liang Guo is still considered to be a prosperous age. How can Shengshi Taiping easily subvert it? So it must be brought into chaos. The war from the frontier is one aspect, and the rebellion from the capital is another.
If it doesn’t work once, it’s twice, if it doesn’t work twice, it’s three times. This great river and mountain will always be disrupted, giving people a chance...
Think about the past life, and then think about this life, Lu Qipei and Qi Yang can almost guess Xie Yuan's intentions thoroughly. But so what? They have no ability to stop it, and the layout of decades has pushed the situation forward like a flood.
In the end, Qi Yang could only sigh, and threw the note into the brazier and burned it: "Left and right, I'm taking revenge."
Qi Yang didn't say this early, and news of a rebellion came from Beijing that night. It is said that a battalion of people came out of the capital and came towards the palace, intending to take the emperor to force the palace, but this soldier and horse disappeared in front of everyone without seeing the gate of the palace.
Many people go to bed early in the evening and only sleep the next day.
The emperor finally appeared in front of everyone again, with a vigorous and ruddy complexion, where did it seem to be a serious illness? Everyone realized that everything was the emperor's layout. Some ministers who took the opportunity to pass news to Beijing, or who were close to the three princes, were so scared that they sweated for a while, fearing that they would not be riding in a carriage, but in a prison car.
Fortunately, the emperor did not take people on the spot, but announced the crimes of the three princes' conspiracy with everyone, and ordered the direct return to Beijing. So the team of sacrifice to heaven was delayed for three or four days, and finally returned to the capital in a mighty manner.
The quaint and atmospheric capital looks the same as usual, but I don't know if everyone has an illusion, but there is always a sense of killing and blood in the air.
The sacred team returned to the city. Originally, they would disperse after arriving in Beijing, but this time no one dared to leave. All the clan ministers were taken directly into the palace. Not long after entering the palace gate, you could see a cage in the open space outside the Xuanzheng Hall from a distance.
The person in the cage is the third prince, and he was captured by life. He was shrunk in a corner of the cage in a light armour, and the cold winter wind made him shiver. The bundled long hair was slightly scattered, and the silver armor seemed to be stained with dreadfulness, becoming dim...
The three princes seemed a little excited when the emperor and his officials appeared. He got up from the ground abruptly, and when he was about to rush to the cage, he seemed to think of something and stopped timidly.
The emperor walked to the cage and stopped half a metre away: "I really underestimated your ambition!"
When the third prince saw the good emperor, he was suddenly timid, hanging his head and dared not speak.
The emperor was extremely angry. Seeing him this way, he held back his anger. He suddenly moved forward two steps and kicked the three princes in the cage to the ground with one foot across the fence. He had a plan for a long time, and of course it was not the ambition of the third prince of Qi, but the loss that this disaster brought to the capital.
The military strength in Beijing is roughly divided into three places. Yulin is guarded in the palace, Xiaoqi is patrolled in Beijing, and there are 100,000 guards in the suburbs of Beijing. What the emperor never expected was that all three soldiers and horses were involved in the rebellion when he was prepared for a long time. Not to mention the impact of this incident and the emperor's fears, the loss of this rebellion alone made the emperor's heart bleed.
The third prince didn't dare to cry out after being kicked over. Only now he recovered and began to admit his mistake and beg for mercy.
Where did the emperor spare him? With a flick of the long sleeves, he simply walked away. After two steps, he turned his head and asked: "Who is it that bewitched you during this rebellion, and who is the general of the three armies who helped you contact?"
The third prince heard the words, and his eyes flashed blankly, and then his eyes suddenly lit up: "It is the staff, it is the staff of the children's mansion. Father, you must believe in the children, the children have no intention of rebelliousness, they are all those The staff cleverly talked and deceived, and the sons and ministers didn't notice it before they did the wrong thing..."
He thought the emperor wanted to give him a step and save him a life. Unexpectedly, the emperor heard his evasive remarks that he couldn't grasp the point at all, and his brain hurts with anger, and finally he went away without saying what to do with him.
When the guards saw this, they dared not step forward, and the ministers who were accompanying him avoided the cage far away, as if they were afraid to avoid it.
The three princes were ashamed to see the emperor leaving just like this, and immediately begged for mercy. It's a pity to talk about it, it's all evasive words, not even the emperor wants to ask the point of the question, his begging for mercy can only drift in the cold winter wind.
Qi Yang and Lu Qipei both stood far and looked at him, and then ignored him. Only Qi Yang saw such a desolate three princes, thinking of his previous life, he couldn't help but feel two complicated in his heart-how energetic this person was in the previous life, but he was so downhearted in this life, but they were all pawns on the chessboard. No one is better.
Lu Qipei sensed Qi Yang's concerns and squeezed her hand slightly to remind her to regain consciousness.
However, Qi Yang had calmed his emotions and felt Lu Qipei's movements, so he turned his head and smiled at her.
The two looked at each other, being intimate and natural, as if they were not disturbed by the immediate situation. Such a calm and relaxed appearance fell in the eyes of the caring person, the doubts and fears in his heart were slightly gone, and all the undercurrents returned to peace.
The three princes' begging for mercy was ultimately useless. His rebellious and rebellious behavior and even the desire to send soldiers to the palace completely angered the emperor. After a day of cold wind blew in the cage outside the Palace of Xuanzheng, he was finally sent away by a glass of poisoned wine. And the death of the three princes undoubtedly involved the previous dynasty. Many of the people who used to be the three princes were implicated, demoted or sent to prison, and there was a moment of panic.
These alone have little to do with Qi Yang, after all, the princess has no right to participate in politics. Occasionally someone who came to her in a hurry to seek medical advice, she also closed her house and ignored it. It can be said that she has done a thorough job of staying out of the matter.
However, these are still something to say. At this time, the two finally came out of the depressed palace. Lu Qipei suddenly took Qi Yang's hand and smiled at her: "Well, we are finally back, and it's time to move!"
Qi Yang stunned, and then eased his eyebrows, then looked at the gloomy and depressed sky, and said, "Okay, I will move tomorrow."
