Chapter 474 Lu Ji's Safety 1
The earth-shaking noise lasted for about an hour, but stopped abruptly at sunrise. If the troops of the City Patrol had broken open the gate of the Imperial City, they should have heard shouts of attack.

Qin Xiaoning was puzzled and worried about Lu Ji, so she found the guard who was protecting her and ordered him to go to the imperial city to find out the news.

"Go back to the palace and wait. It's cold outside."

The wife of the virtuous prince was concerned about her daughter, but Qin Xiaoning insisted, "Even if I go back, I'm still worried. It's better to wait here. If there is any movement in the imperial city, I can at least hear it."

"Didn't we send someone to check? Come back with mother." Princess Xian comforted her daughter in a gentle voice: "Lu Ji is so capable, don't worry, he will be fine."

No matter how capable he is, he is just flesh and blood, and swords and knives have no eyes, let alone something as risky as treason.

Seeing her daughter's worried face, Princess Xian wanted to persuade her again, but Prince Xian walked over. Qin Xiaoning glanced at him indifferently and said nothing.

Seeing his daughter's dissatisfaction with him, Prince Xian walked up to her, forced a smile, and said in a gentle voice: "It's a cold autumn day. You will get sick if you stand here in the cold wind. Go back to the palace with your mother."

Qin Xiaoning heard this, but pretended not to hear it, leaving her father with a cold look.

Seeing that his daughter was dissatisfied with him, Prince Xian tactfully shut his mouth and just stood beside her, accompanying her silently together with his wife.

About half an hour later, the guards who were sent out to get information finally returned. When Qin Xiaoning saw the figure, she ran down the platform impatiently, holding up her skirt. From a distance, she asked the guards anxiously, "What's the situation over there? Is the prince safe?"

Seeing the little princess in a hurry, the guards no longer cared about their power and replied breathlessly: "The people from the City Patrol have stopped attacking the city. Commander Huo is waiting outside the Meridian Gate with his men."

"Where's the prince?" Qin Xiaoning asked anxiously, "Have you seen the prince?"

The guard shook his head and said, "No, I have not been able to see General Huo. I just heard from a lieutenant that the prince seemed to have entered the palace alone an hour ago."

Lu Ji entered the palace alone?

How is this going?

Shouldn't he be the one leading the City Patrol's troops to attack the imperial city and capture Zhao Pan?

Why did he enter the imperial city alone?

Qin Xiaoning had a bad feeling.

The situation has changed and Lu Ji might be in danger.

Seeing his daughter was about to cry, Prince Xian came over to comfort her: "A Ning, don't worry, it was His Majesty who invited Lu Ji to the palace."

At this time, Qin Xiaoning didn't care about being angry with her father anymore, and asked hurriedly, "Why did Zhao Pan invite him to the palace?"

"Of course it's nothing." said Prince Xian.

Peace talks?

Zhao Pan had already killed Lu Ji last night. With the two sides so hostile to each other, is there any possibility of negotiation?
This is a conspiracy.

And Prince Xian, the father in front of her, must know the inside story.

Qin Xiaoning said to Prince Xian: "What is going on? Please tell me the truth."

Her tone was sincere, and her eyes were filled with eager anticipation. Prince Xian helped his daughter to sit down in the corridor and said softly, "A Ning, I am telling the truth. Your Majesty wants to negotiate with Lu Ji."

Are you treating her like a three-year-old child?

"I don't believe it." Qin Xiaoning said sternly, "Zhao Pan has already put a knife in front of my husband. Is there any room for maneuver? The troops of the City Patrol are approaching the imperial city. Even if Zhao Pan gets scared and wants to make peace with my husband, Lu Ji is not a fool. He will definitely not compromise again."

Seeing her daughter's agitation, the wife of the Xian Prince hurried over to comfort her: "Although my son-in-law and the new emperor are monarch and subject, they are uncle and nephew after all. Besides, there is Empress Dowager Lu mediating. It is not impossible for the two of them to make peace. Amitabha, I also hope that they will put down their swords. Our family has just lived a peaceful life. These people, please calm down for a while."

At this time, Qin Xiaoning had no mood to listen to her mother's nagging. She stood up suddenly and said to the guard who had just brought back the news: "Go and get more information. Be sure to find out why the prince entered the palace alone."

The guard took the order and left, but Qin Xiaoning felt uneasy. She felt that she had never been so frightened before, and she had a very bad premonition in her heart.

Something is going to happen to Lu Ji.

"No, I want to go into the palace and find Lu Ji." After saying that, she ran out regardless of anything.

The wife of the virtuous prince hurriedly grabbed her daughter and said, "Oh my, those men are armed with swords. What if they start fighting and get hurt? What will you do? My dear child, just stay at home and wait for the next fight."

Qin Xiaoning struggled to break free from her mother and said anxiously, "That's my husband. He's in trouble right now. How can I sit still?"

Seeing that his wife could not persuade him, the virtuous prince came over to stop his daughter and said, "If you go, what can you do to help?"

"I can't help. At worst, I'll die with him." The little woman had a resolute look on her face, and her tone contained a determination to risk it all.

"Silly child, what are you talking about? Be obedient and wait at home."

Princess Xian came over and hugged Qin Xiaoning, but she struggled desperately to get away. She wanted to find Lu Ji. He was in danger, and she couldn't wait any longer.

"A Ning——"

The usually gentle Prince Xian shouted in a stern voice, scaring the Princess Xian and Qin Xiaoning so much that they both stood there in a daze.

He walked over and held his daughter's delicate shoulders with both hands, and said earnestly: "A Ning, listen to me, Lu Ji will be fine."

Qin Xiaoning burst into tears. She looked at her father and asked with a sob, "I beg you, please tell me the truth. Why did he go to the palace alone? What is Zhao Pan's plan? You must know the inside story. If you hide it from me, your daughter will never forgive you in this life."

Seeing that her father was still silent, Qin Xiaoning no longer cared about her dignity. She frantically tore at his clothes and almost screamed, "Hurry up and tell me, you must know the inside story, tell me now."

Seeing her usually gentle and sensible daughter like this, the wife of the virtuous prince also became anxious and angrily said to her husband: "What's going on? Tell our daughter quickly, tell her quickly, look at how anxious our daughter is."

Seeing his wife and daughter like this, Prince Xian sighed heavily, then pressed them both on the chairs and said, "Don't worry, I'll tell you."

Hearing this, the mother and daughter looked at him eagerly, especially Qin Xiaoning. She was so nervous that a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. Her eyes were wide open, staring at her father without blinking.

Prince Xian said to his daughter, "Lu Ji entered the palace to negotiate peace."

Seeing his daughter frowning again, he quickly held her hand and comforted her in a gentle voice: "A Ning, don't worry, I'm telling the truth. It wasn't His Majesty who proposed this, but the Queen Mother who asked Lu Ji for it."

Qin Xiaoning heard this and said flatly: "I don't believe it."
