"How did Zhou Yan use the earthquake in Guihua City to play a game for Zhou Xian? In other words, how did he know that there would be an earthquake in Guihua City?"

Du Heng and Xue Fei stayed at home, puzzled by this fact.But one thing is certain, on Zhou Xian's way to Guihua City, there will be all sorts of murderous opportunities.

Xue Feibai had promised himself that he would send someone to protect Zhou Xian, but Du Heng wasn't too worried; it was just that her revenge in Beijing was coming to an end.

She thought that since she and Xue Feibai couldn't figure it out, why not go to Concubine Long for a try, after all Concubine Long is not a vegetarian~
The big event is approaching, and you need to be more careful when entering the palace.

Du Heng quietly handed the letter to someone, and then quietly came out of Long's mansion, and an unremarkable carriage was parked at the back door of a bookstore; when Du Heng received the letter and was about to get in the carriage, he happened to see an acquaintance—she The nominal aunt before she got married, Madam Du - was also the mother of the late Du Zhilan and Du Weilan, the current concubine of the Tenth Prince.

The two met face to face, and both were taken aback for a moment.

So when Du Heng met Concubine Long in Wan'an Palace, he first asked about Madam Du.

"Your imperial concubine, I don't know my aunt... but what kind of personal relationship does she have with her?" Du Heng originally didn't want to inquire about these gossips, but the situation was tense, and she couldn't help but let go of any clues that might lead to the defeat.

Concubine Long recently seems to be a few years younger because she is full of ambition and has a chance to win...

"Oh, you said that Zhou Yan is his mother-in-law~ Yes, he has betrayed her, so she won't go to Ben Gong anymore!" The tone was calm and breezy.

"Because of side concubine Xiao?" Du Heng thought for a while, then figured out the joint.

Now Xiao Zimei has caused Du Weilan to die, and Du Weilan has no ability to bear children; their father, Dali Siqing, let alone show his attitude to his daughter, just in the matter of the prince's seizure of the heir apparent, which is now in full swing. Not helpful at all.

Du Weilan's tragic fate seemed to be doomed after Xiao Zimei plotted against her.

Rather than really waiting for the tenth prince Zhou Yan to succeed to the throne and be killed by that Xiao Zimei, it would be better for Mrs. Du, the mother, to fight her back for her daughter.

Mrs. Du used herself as a bargaining chip, in exchange for the fact that if the Tenth Prince failed to seize the heir apparent, Concubine Long would save Du Weilan's life and kill Xiao Zimei.

Du Heng was deeply moved, and everyone said that "a mother is strong", which was vividly reflected in Mrs. Du: her father was indifferent, and she was really worried about her two daughters...

But... why is the value of a woman only reflected in her family background and whether she can bear children?It's not fair.

Frankly speaking, since "Du Heng" has become Du Heng, she feels much more comfortable than when she was "Lin Zhijun": she can cry when she wants to, scold at will when she wants to, and walk around unscrupulously; Feibai, a husband, followed behind her buttocks...

She does not admit that this kind of relationship between a man and a woman must be strong, but when she got rid of the shackles of the so-called "boudoir", she lived a much happier life...

Du Heng doesn't want to inquire about the rest of the matter, after all, how the situation will develop, she will know soon...

"You sent news that you came to the palace specially to ask me about your aunt? You only asked one question?" Concubine Long flicked her nails and asked a little unhappy.

"Of course not..." Du Heng asked Concubine Long, did he have any information about how Zhou Yan observed the earthquake in Guihua City?
Concubine Long was not very happy when mentioning this matter:

"The information from this imperial concubine only mentions that when a caravan transporting grain passed a mountain in the outskirts of the county, an earthquake happened due to bad luck, and it happened to be crushed there...Of course the villages around the mountain also affected by...

But how did Zhou Yan calculate that there was an earthquake in Guihua City, and when he arranged the ultimate move against Zhou Xian in advance, this imperial concubine was also puzzled. "

Du Heng asked a few guesses that flashed through her mind:

"Could it have been detected by Qin Tian?"

"The bastards of the Qin Tianjian have never monitored anything, and they have received money from someone to say something." Concubine Long Gui who "has paid money" said so.

"..." Du Heng felt that she had been influenced by Concubine Long and gradually became "Long".

"Could it be that Zhou Yan got the seismograph?"

"It's not impossible, but the seismograph can only measure one direction; it's impossible for him, Zhou Yan, to bury all the roads going north with black powder, and he wants to blow up Zhou Xian..."

After speaking, the two fell into a long silence.

Suddenly, the two began to look at each other, because at the same time they thought of the key word that flashed in the words just now: black powder...

Concubine Long Gui and Du Heng stopped talking for a while, and the entire Wan'an Palace fell into a long silence——

Both of them saw deep fear and shock in each other's eyes: Zhou Yan is so courageous! ?
He didn't "predict" the earthquake. Instead, he "created" the "earthquake" with black powder; in order to ensure that Zhou Xian would definitely be there, he specially picked Guihua City, which is adjacent to the border!

Zhou Yan is a lunatic!How dare you gamble with Guoben!

Concubine Long was a little unstable, she firmly grasped the armrest of the chair: "We must not let him succeed! No, no, I have to..."

Concubine Long panicked for a moment, but she didn't even call herself "the concubine".

She can't be blamed for being panic-stricken, it's because the enemy is too cunning and cunning, Zhou Yan is ready for everything, the only thing missing is Zhou Xian's death!Today's Zhou Yan may raise trouble at any time!
Du Heng also took a deep breath and calmed down: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Although it is urgent, we still have time; His Royal Highness set off yesterday, and the day after tomorrow at the latest, if there is no arrival in Beijing, we must Courtiers are on alert!
So since we already know Zhou Yan's plan, as long as we operate properly, we can definitely plan ahead! "

Concubine Long took the initiative to hold Du Heng's hand, and through her, let her trembling hand return to its original state. It took a long time before she recovered her voice: "Du, Du Heng, what do you think, is it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"

"Dare to ask the imperial concubine, what time is it today?"

"28."

"28..." Du Heng repeated without making a sound, and then squatted beside Concubine Long, letting her follow her fingers to look at the dim crescent moon outside the palace——

Concubine Long's eyes widened, and she instantly understood what Du Heng meant.

"And empress, be careful of the eunuchs in the palace! They are likely to be the internal agents of Zhou Yan's rebellion!"

Although Concubine Long didn't think clearly this time, she still subconsciously obeyed Du Heng's words.
