Chapter 356: The Queen summoned him, but he has not returned yet
Qin Yuechuan went to the wild fighting field early this morning.
Regarding the "Winter Hunt", he has his own plan against Su Jingyu.
As for the affairs of the Nanyuan Imperial Court, Su Jinyan was naturally very familiar with them.
There was no need to busy the shop during the New Year holidays, so Xu Xinyue slept lazily until noon before getting up.
After finishing his meal, he looked at Xu Yuanshan and leisurely sat on the couch reading a medical book. Suddenly, Ana Luo rushed in: "Yueyue!"
"Anaro?"
"You'd better rest now."
Ana Luo panted heavily: "I, I just went to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion!"
Xu Xinyue covered most of her smiling face with the book and said "Oh" in a teasing manner.
Her bright eyes were full of teasing: "So you miss your uncle...can't hold it back?"
Ana Luo had no intention of joking with her. He walked up to her and snatched her medical book. "I'm not joking with you. He wasn't at the Duke's Mansion when I went there!"
"I heard from Qin Yuechuan that he has taken over the He family army. Maybe he is training the soldiers?"
"no no!"
Ana Luo was so anxious that she was sweating all over her forehead: "Chen Song said that he went to the palace and was summoned by the queen. He has not returned yet!"
Xu Xinyue stopped smiling and stood up: "Entering the palace? The Queen summoned you? You haven't come back yet?"
Ana Luo swallowed, "Chen Song also followed quietly, he knows the details."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xinyue immediately met Chen Song in disguise.
After listening to Chen Song's detailed report, Xu Xinyue suddenly felt something was wrong.
"…The reason for the summons is related to He Yunyin."
"Maybe it's a cover..." Xu Xinyue murmured, quickly thinking of a countermeasure in his mind.
Ana Luo said: "Even if he is someone from the harem, summoning a man from outside is still an important official, why would it take so long! It's almost noon now, and I heard that he entered the palace early in the morning. I'm worried, but I have no choice but to come to find you."
Chen Song nodded in agreement.
"Why didn't you come to my place earlier?"
"I am not sure whether the Duke of Zhenguo has been to Your Majesty's place. If he had gone to Your Majesty's place in the past, it would have taken a longer time... I am not allowed to enter the palace."
Ana Luo shook Xu Xinyue's arm: "I am worried, I feel uneasy... Prince Rong, where is Prince Rong?"
"He is not in the mansion right now. Besides, it is not appropriate for him to show up in this matter. On the surface, the two of them have little in common, so he has no right to go looking for his uncle."
"Right now we need to find out the situation in the palace. If it's at His Majesty's place, that would be the best. If it's at the Queen's place, that's not good..."
Xu Xinyue stood up and paced around the room unconsciously.
"In the palace...in the palace..."
As she was mumbling, she suddenly thought of something. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she rushed to the door and shouted, "Qingfeng!"
"princess."
"I heard from Qin Yuechuan that Taoist Yanxu is from Rong Wangfu, right?"
"Ah."
"Now, no matter what method you use, contact Yanxu immediately and ask him to go to His Majesty to take a look. If your uncle is not here, check in the harem again, using the excuse that... he is responsible for the Queen Mother's illness, right!"
"Tell him to find out some news about the Duke of Zhenguo. Is he safe now? If there is any news, report back to me immediately. It must be quick! If it is inconvenient, ask him to try to meet Ling'er and say it is my request. It will be more logical for Ling'er to come forward to the Queen."
"Yes!"
"Wait! If they can't get close, let him find a way to lure His Majesty over there. Summon them all to the Queen's Palace! The bigger the formation, the better!"
Xu Xinyue hurriedly added that the incident happened suddenly and this was the only possible situation.
The emperor was poisoned that day, and he saw that Yanxu was quite popular with the emperor, so it should work.
Qingfeng nodded seriously and left.
"Is it okay?" Ana Luo held her hand nervously.
"The more you are at this moment, the more you should not be anxious. Calm down first."
Xu Xianyue analyzed each point:
"My uncle is an important official, so the Queen should be a little concerned... It's probably safe... Let's check out the situation first and then make plans."
She comforted Ana Luo on the surface, but she had another thought in her heart. Qin Yuechuan once said to be careful of Qin Liexing. As the mother of Qin Liexing, the Queen might not be planning to cover up something for Qin Liexing.
Although Qin Liexing is in poor health, the prince has a personal relationship with the important official...
It is also a serious sin.
The two of them waited restlessly for an unknown amount of time. Qingfeng returned with a seemingly ordinary bird in his hand. Xu Xinyue took the thin paper tube on its foot, unfolded it and glanced at it: "Uncle is not with His Majesty, so the princess cannot enter the Queen's Phoenix Palace."
It seems that the Queen is trying to cover up something, and what she is trying to do must be shameful, so she has no choice but to make a big deal out of this matter.
This matter is extremely risky. If the emperor catches He Xuehuai and Qin Liexing talking in the Queen's palace, he will inevitably become suspicious.
However, if it concerns Qin Liexing, the Queen will certainly be cautious and will certainly not want the Emperor to know, otherwise she would not have guarded the Fengluan Palace so closely.
Even if I use He Yunyin as a cover...
So, Xu Xinyue was willing to take a gamble.
Just to protect Qin Liexing, the Queen would not let the Emperor catch them meeting.
Xu Xinyue tightly grasped the note in her hand, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and made a decision: "Ana Luo, let's enter the palace!"
"But, how can we see the Queen without a summons? And didn't you say that Prince Rong's Mansion should not be involved with the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion? You are the Princess of Rong, which is equivalent to Prince Rong."
Xu Xinyue said, "If we can't establish direct contact, then we can only use a roundabout way. Prince Rong cannot enter the palace to look for the Duke of Zhenguo, but it is perfectly normal for Prince Rong to come and look for Princess Rong if she enters the palace."
"Remember, we are not going to the palace to look for He Xuehuai this time, but to look for Qin Lingruo."
Then he turned to Chen Song and said, "You should go to the palace gate with great fanfare to look for He Xuehuai. It doesn't matter whether you can get into the palace or not. The main thing is that it will cause a lot of noise. This may be a bit risky. You..."
"I am not afraid. I will follow Princess Rong's orders!"
"Okay, let's go our separate ways then."
Ana Luo said again: "Aren't you going to wait for King Rong..."
"If he returns, the people in the palace will let us know. Let's go to the palace without further delay!"
Ana Luo nodded, pretended to be her maid, and followed Xu Xinyue into the carriage to the palace.
Ana Luo was extremely anxious and blamed herself, "It's already noon, I don't know if I can still catch up... I should have gone to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion earlier."
"Uncle will be fine. He will be fine."
Xu Xinyue was also unsure. She held Ana Luo's trembling hand, not knowing whether to comfort her or herself.
When they reached the palace gate, before she could speak, the gate guard asked, "But Princess Rong?"
Xu Xinyue was stunned, "Yes."
"The princess has ordered that if Princess Rong comes, she should be allowed to pass immediately. Please."
Xu Xinyue was delighted and looked at Ana Luo. This way, they could save a lot of time.
Without saying much, he went straight to Qingling Hall.
Qin Lingruo had been waiting for a long time. When she saw Xu Xinyue, she said, "I knew you would come, so I informed the palace guards."
"Why did you suddenly ask me to go to the Queen's Palace? I was shocked when Yanxu delivered the message."
"I don't have time to explain so much right now. Is He Yunyin still in the Queen's Palace?"
Qin Lingruo said, "She should still be there. Yanxu just went to treat the Queen Mother's epilepsy and didn't see her. I heard that she met with the Duke of Zhenguo in the Queen's Palace earlier and reminisced about the past."
Qin Lingruo curled her lips: "It's like that now, what's there to talk about? She doesn't seem to have come out yet..."
"Take me to the Queen's Palace. I want to see He Yunyin."
"You're going to see her? Why would she want to see you? You forgot that she almost..."
"Since the Queen is using her as a pretext, I can do the same. I will say that I want to make peace with her."
"I want to enter the Fengluan Palace. You come with me."
"But I have already been there once. The Queen claimed to be ill and did not see me..."
"No problem, as long as you accompany me and make as much noise as possible at the entrance of Fengluan Palace."
Xu Xinyue thought that if the plan went well, Yanxu should also lead the emperor there.
