I was shocked, but when I looked back, the troops approaching Linfen were only a hundred miles away from here yesterday. If he didn't act quickly, he would be afraid that his troops would be at the city!
I asked again, "Then, did His Majesty the Emperor say anything?"
Kou'er shook his head: "I only know that the emperor's study room was on all night last night. The queen asked Xing'er and the others to come over to send refreshments several times. I heard that the emperor was in a bad mood, so I didn't get angry. Until this morning, the emperor went back to sleep for a while, and he hasn't gotten up yet."
"oh."
I nodded, went over to eat something randomly, and then walked over to Chang Qing.
Along the way, I could feel that the people serving in the government office were silent. Although there was no nervous expression, the atmosphere still made people feel the tension of the storm coming and the wind filled the building.
Moreover, when I was about to walk to a garden gate, I heard two maids outside talking in a low voice.
"You said, is it really going to fight?"
"I think this is hard to tell."
"Hey, really, why did you think the war will start?"
"What does it mean to be fine? Are you blind? Haven't you heard anyone? Actually, there are already-"
After a whisper, the maid suddenly said even more depressedly: "Then what do you mean by staying here? Besides, since there is a new one, new one - what else can I fight in this battle?"
"Actually, I also heard that Linfen did not need to fight."
"Oh? Then why-"
"I heard that the reason why they wanted to attack Linfen was because the emperor came here. Our place was high and the emperor was far away. If the emperor didn't come, how could they beat us here?"
"Then you tell me, what is the emperor doing here!"
"Yes, I also heard that there was a noble man around the emperor before, who kept advising the emperor not to come to Linfen, but the emperor refused to listen and drove the people away. Now, it has been so good that all three places have sent troops. If our Linfen can be defended, if we can't... Tsk tsk, I heard that there are people in Jiangnan who were almost massacred."
"Oh my goodness!"
At this time, I couldn't help but frown.
However, the two maids didn't have time to say anything else, and a man who seemed to be in charge came over and scolded them: "What are you doing here sneakily? Don't you do things well, are you trying to wait for the adults to punish you?!"
The two maids hurried forward, and one of them asked boldly: "Manager Wang, what's going on now? I heard that Lord Liu locked the city gates, so wouldn't he let someone go?"
"Why, do you still want to leave?"
"But I heard that there were already many ordinary people on the west gate, and they were asking to open the city gate and they were leaving."
"That's also the people are causing trouble, and the adults will deal with it. These things have nothing to do with you!"
"It doesn't matter. War is not a joke. If you cut it down with a knife, who knows who will cut it on his neck!"
"I think you two want to be beheaded now! The adults are repeatedly not allowed to talk nonsense here and disturb people's hearts. Why? Do you two want to try how strict the adults' laws are?"
Once the manager Wang was serious, the two maids did not dare to be arrogant anymore, so they could only leave with muttering.
Only through a wall, I could hear these words clearly. Manager Wang scolded them a few times before walking over here. As soon as he entered the door, he saw me standing at the door. He was stunned for a moment and hurriedly saluted: "Miss Yan. Why didn't Miss Yan go to His Royal Highness the Princess and fall here."
I smiled and said, "I'm just about to go over."
"Miss Yan, please, Your Highness the Princess has already gotten up."
"Yeah. Thank you."
I nodded and wanted to walk out, but after walking two steps, I stopped and called him: "Just just now, I heard them say that some ordinary people gathered at the city gate and asked to open the city gate and leave Linfen. Is this really a matter?"
The manager immediately knew that I had heard the words of the two maids just now, and he couldn't help but gritted his teeth, and immediately smiled and said, "Ms. Yan must not listen to those long-tongued women."
"Of course I don't listen to gossip, but is this true?"
“…”
He hesitated for a moment, but he still didn't dare to lie to me. He could only sigh: "These are all ignorant fools. How could they know? If they really leave Linfen, they wouldn't even know how they died. The Lord closed the city gate and protected it was not only the emperor. Humph!"
Speaking of this, he probably felt a little out of control, so he hurriedly leaned over to salute me, then turned around and left.
I stopped and had already transferred in, but I didn't say anything, so I went to Chang Qing's place.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Chang Qing and Miaoyan sitting at the table having dinner together. Seeing that I was coming, Miaoyan happily pulled me down and insisted that I eat some more with her. Chang Qing looked at me with a bad face and kept persuading me, so she drank an extra bowl of porridge.
When she was about to finish her meal, Xing'er came in from outside and said a few words in Chang Qing's ear. Chang Qing thought about it and whispered to her a few words, and she hurried out again.
I vaguely heard the word "Emperor" in their words, and knew that Chang Qing was still caring about Pei Yuanhao's questions, so she didn't ask much. After breakfast, everyone had nothing to do. In addition, the doctor had explained before that after Miyan had to let go more activities and bask in the sun, Chang Qing and I took her out to walk.
The three of them didn't walk around the garden for a while, and they heard footsteps outside.
I turned around and saw a team of guards running by the door neatly.
After a while, another team ran past.
Chang Qing and Miaoyan also heard it, turned to look at it, and I said to Miaoyan: "Okay, I've been away for so long, and you should go back. What should you do today?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chang Qing said: "Her homework has been done. Recently, someone is teaching her needlework."
"Okay, go back soon."
She was slow and still wanted to stay by our side, but Chang Qing and I did not soften, so she went back with grievance. Looking at the girl's back, she had been bold enough to stay, but in fact, she didn't understand what to face when she stayed. She looked so innocent, which made me sigh softly.
Chang Qing also looked at her back, heard me sighing, and said, "What are you anxious about? When it comes time to be sensible, Miaoyan will be more sensible than anyone else."
I turned to look at her: "The Queen is so confident?"
She smiled and said, "She is your daughter. I have been with me for so long. Wouldn't you know her character?"
I also laughed: "Listen to this, the Queen does not seem to be praising her, but rather seems to be praising me."
Both of them laughed.
However, in this atmosphere, pleasure cannot last too long.
After a while, another team of guards ran over. We finally found that something was wrong, so we looked at each other and walked out. We happened to see Yu Sheng, a member of Zhang Ziyu's subordinate, standing there, as if counting the number of people.
Chang Qing stood at the gate of the yard and saw this, so she did not walk out any further.
After all, she had been in the harem for half her life, and had formed a habit of distinguishing between the inner and outer courts. Although the Linfen official office did not clearly separate the inner and outer courts for her activities like in the Jinhou Mansion of Taiyuan, she was still very cautious and did not go out at this time.
However, Yu Sheng, as soon as he saw us standing at the gate of the courtyard, he could not avoid it, came over to salute.
Chang Qing then asked, "Yu Jun, what are you doing?"
"If the Queen says that, something happened to the west of the city, let them go over and solve it."
"What's wrong?"
"Well, the Queen doesn't have to worry, it's just a few trivial matters."
“…”
Although Chang Qing said that she knew very little about the matter of soldiers and generals, in this case, if the troops were transferred from the official office, it would definitely not be a "small matter".
I stood beside me, remembering the words that the two maids had said just now, and asked, "Is there a commoner in the west of the city who wants to open the city gate and they want to leave?"
Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment and looked at me in surprise: "How could Miss Yan know?"
“…”
It seems that it is true.
After he said that, he immediately showed a depressed expression, regretting his words, and Chang Qing frowned even more: "Really? Isn't that very troublesome?"
Yu Sheng knew that he could not hide it from us, so he could only say: "Empress, Miss Yan, please don't worry, Lord Liu will definitely handle this matter."
At this time, the teams of guards had already assembled. He saluted us and turned around and left in a hurry.
Chang Qing's brow did not let go, but instead seemed worried. She turned her head to look at me and said, "Qingying, what do you think."
I said, "Does the Queen think something is wrong?"
"I never care about this - what's happening outside, but why did it make such a big deal overnight? People gathered in Xicheng? Why does this sound a little wrong?"
I nodded.
She did come to the point.
Although the conversation between the two maids just now was full of concerns about the situation in Linfen, I also heard something wrong from their worries.
Liu Qinghan's dissuasion of Pei Yuanhao was only known to a small extent, or to a few people around Pei Yuanhao. After all, it would be of no use to him to spread the matter of trying to control the emperor's itinerary, and it would be very unfavorable to the current emperor.
How could it be that even these maids know?
