After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Chapter 314 Chapter 314

Xiao Qinglan did not respond immediately.

She has been in power for many years, and she can see things clearly, so she can't see the strange expressions of the father and daughter.

"What happened?"

Xiao Qinglan first looked at Jiang Zhizhou.

Jiang Zhizhou had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Not long after Ah Wan woke up in this body, she was married by the saint."

At that time, he hadn't found out who was behind Jiang Yuwan's murder, and he was afraid that the forces infiltrated by the state of Chu would follow him to find Shen Qingci, which would be bad for her.

Therefore, he didn't dare to have too much contact with Shen Qingci, and, at that time, he still had to die to find out the truth, so he had to leave a letter to Shen Qingci, telling her to follow the trend.

For one thing, the sage only gave the marriage at that time, but did not set a date for the marriage, not to mention that it took at least half a year for the Tian family to prepare for the marriage.

With this time, it is enough time for him to investigate the truth, following the trend is only a stopgap measure, if Shen Qingci is unwilling at that time, the father and daughter will find a way.

Second, he had worked with Sheng Tingye before, and knowing her character, he felt that she was worthy of his precious girl. If the two saw each other right, it would be a good marriage.

Three, which is the most important point.

At that time, the enemy was out in the dark, and he was also afraid of being tricked again. He was afraid that once Shen Qingci's identity was exposed, she would be used by someone with a heart, and someone without a strong enough background and strength would not be able to protect her.

Sheng Tingye was just right.

On the battlefield of the battle between Qi and Chu many years ago, he rescued Sheng Tingye, and as a doctor, he also noticed the heartless poison in Sheng Tingye's body.

No matter whether Sheng Tingye has Shen Qingci in his heart or not, even if it is for his own life, he has to protect Shen Qingci well.

This was all Jiang Zhizhou's plan after he knew about the marriage at the time.

He just didn't expect that Sheng Tingye would suddenly be seriously injured, and he didn't expect that the royal family would advance the marriage in order to celebrate him.

At that time, he was still investigating Gu Qiuli in Qingzhou, and it took only seven days from the date of the wedding to the big wedding.

When he received the news, Shen Qingci was already married.

He was originally worried and wanted to sneak back to the capital to have a look, but Shen Qingci and Sheng Tingye happened to go to Qingzhou.

He hid in the dark and watched, even if the two of them hid their identities from the outside, he could still see that the two of them got along very well.

Especially the way Sheng Tingye looked at Shen Qingci with such joy that he could hardly hide.

He is someone who has been there, so he naturally understands.

It was precisely because of this that, after hearing the news that Xiao Qinglan was "seriously ill", he would rest assured to chase after Chu.

However, although the result was good, Jiang Zhizhou still blamed himself for not being able to protect Jiang Yuwan, not even being able to help her marriage.

Especially now that he talked about it in front of Xiao Qinglan, he lowered his head in shame.

"Father doesn't need to blame himself, I'm fine."

Shen Qingci stood up.

She subconsciously glanced at the door and said with a smile, "He's fine too."

Seeing that when Shen Qingci mentioned Sheng Tingye, the joy on his face was not fake, and Xiao Qinglan let go of what he had just mentioned.

She observed Shen Qingci's expression, "Is he outside too?"

Shen Qingci nodded, and said that Sheng Tingye had been in charge of watching over Xiao Wenyan for the past few days.

Although they have not met each other, Xiao Qinglan knows the third prince of Qi.

In the first battle between Qi and Chu, he defeated 20 Chu troops by surprise and gained a great reputation. It is difficult for people to ignore such a general.

However, even though it was a hostile stance, the war that year was facilitated by the regent and not led by her, and the two countries had already ceased fighting in the past few years, so Xiao Qinglan had no prejudice against Sheng Tingye at all.

She was even a little ashamed because of what Xiao Wenyan and Gu Qiuli had caused on the border of Qi State before, and wanted to mend the relationship between the two countries.

Now that Sheng Tingye happened to be here, and she was also her son-in-law, and from Shen Qingci's words, he could see how much he valued and liked him. Xiao Qinglan naturally had no objection, and even looked forward to it.

But Jiang Zhizhou on the side reminded: "Your body should not be overworked now. After talking for a while, you are already exhausted. Listen to me, take a rest first, eat something slowly, and then talk? "

Xiao Qinglan also knew that she was a little impatient.

"Alright."

She nodded, and Qiu Niang at the door gave orders.

Shen Qingci knew that the two of them must have a lot to say, so he took this opportunity to retreat.

In the outer hall, Xiao Wenyan and Sheng Tingye had been waiting for a while.

Xiao Wenyan didn't expect to see the empress right now, he came here just as a formality and a formality.

Seeing Shen Qingci walking out of the inner hall, and there were no outsiders here, Xiao Wenyan frowned and said, "Where's the antidote?"

It's not that he didn't concoct the antidote in private, but none of them were right, and he didn't dare to take risks with his own body before the last moment.

Shen Qingci looked over his shoulder and landed on Sheng Tingye behind him.

Even though he was wearing the servant's clothes, even though he lowered his eyebrows and tried his best to suppress his aura, it was still hard to hide his charm.

Looking at each other, the two smiled knowingly.

Only then did Shen Qingci look at Xiao Wenyan who dared to be angry but dare not speak out: "Seven days, isn't there two days left?"

The cinnabar mole on Xiao Wenyan's cold face seemed to be covered with frost.

Shen Qingci thought about how he wanted to kill him at the beginning, and said with a smile: "At least if you cooperate, I didn't intend to kill you, but you really wanted to get rid of me at the beginning."

"Why, I can't vent my anger yet?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Wenyan's expression changed.

He subconsciously glanced at the direction of the inner hall, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I think about killing you?"

Shen Qingci smiled lightly: "Have you ever thought about it, don't you know better than me?"

Xiao Wenyan choked.

Shen Qingci felt that he was an eyesore and didn't want to see him very much, but suddenly heard a notification from outside the hall.

"My lord, Xi and the princess are asking to see you."

Hearing this person, Shen Qingci subconsciously looked at Sheng Tingye.

Sheng Tingye couldn't laugh or cry.

Since Xiao Qinglan woke up last night, all the imperial guards outside have been replaced by Lu Yang's people.

Naturally, it was not as convenient for Xiao Yuexi to enter the Taiji Palace as before.

Xiao Wenyan was depressed at the moment, when he heard this, he subconsciously frowned and said, "What is she here for?"

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Yuexi's crying sounded outside the hall.

"Brother, are you in there?"

Xiao Wenyan had no choice but to walk out.

Just stepped out of the outer hall door, and saw Xiao Yuexi kneeling in front of the steps with pear blossoms and rain on her face.

As soon as she saw Xiao Wenyan, Xiao Yuexi was already sobbing.

She wanted to rush up, but was stopped by the soldiers of the imperial guards, Xiao Yuexi could only cry and shout: "Brother, they said that the father conspired against the king, tell me, this is not true!"

"Yong'an Palace has been raided, our home has been raided! Brother, there must be a misunderstanding here, right?"

Last night, Xiao Qinglan was only briefly sober, but the direction of the wind in the court had changed.

She didn't even need to give orders, the Third Division and the Ministry of Punishment would follow the rules to confiscate the Yong'an Palace and imprison it, and the rest was just waiting for the Queen's order.

Because the crown prince Xiao Wenyan had already left Yong'an Palace, and he stood on the opposite side of Xiao Qingqi last night, so he was not affected.

And Xiao Yuexi has a title and is the younger sister of the crown prince Xiao Wenyan, so no one dares to touch her before the Queen's order is issued.

That's why she was given the chance to go to Tai Chi Palace early in the morning to complain.

"Brother..."

Before Xiao Yuexi could continue crying, Xiao Wenyan raised his hand, "Stop making trouble, go back."

Xiao Wenyan's expression was frighteningly cold, he didn't even wait for Xiao Yuexi to come back to his senses, and said mercilessly: "Come here, take Princess Xihe down and keep him under strict guard."

Xiao Yuexi froze in place, and asked in disbelief: "Brother?"

Soon someone stepped forward and took Xiao Yuexi down. She was dragged far away before she realized it and started crying again.

Xiao Wenyan watched with a blank expression all the time, as if looking at a stranger who had no blood relationship.

After Xiao Yuexi was taken away, as soon as he turned around, he saw Shen Qingci smiling at him and saying: "His Royal Highness really cares about Princess Xihe with good intentions."

Xiao Wenyan's eyes darkened.
