"You're right!" Wei Yingya nodded in agreement.
Since joining Ning Shen's small team, she has lived a few more years.
Follow Ning Shen and live a long life!
Qizhu originally wanted to use this as an excuse to arouse Tang Miaoling's homesickness and drink together to relieve her sorrow.
As a result, as soon as she opened her mouth, the other party's answer made her thoughts split.
But fortunately...
Although Tang Miaoling herself did not want to go home, she still felt sympathy for Princess Qizhu who wanted to go home. She raised her wine cup and clinked glasses with her, saying:
"It is human nature to feel homesick..."
The three of them drank a cup.
Qizhu once again gathered her emotions, looking downcast and shedding tears:
"Qizhu came from afar alone, helpless and helpless. Fortunately, she had her two sisters to keep her company and she had someone to talk to on weekdays. Qizhu was determined to form a marriage alliance between the two countries... but after entering the palace, she was repeatedly drawn into whirlpools, and her heart was filled with misery..."
"Oh, you are really miserable." Wei Yingya looked sympathetic, but after thinking about it, it seemed that she was even more miserable than her?
Comforting:
"Your Majesty, please be optimistic and don't hurt yourself by crying. Although you are alone, your parents are still alive, and your whole family is alive. You are also still alive, you have not been sent to the cold palace, and you have not been sentenced to death. You have a promising future."
Qizhu paused in her crying. If you don't know how to comfort me, then don't comfort me.
Although I know that what you mean is that there is a promising future, it sounds like there is also a promising future even if the whole family dies together.
"Yes, yes, Concubine He, we have to learn to comfort ourselves and not make ourselves sick... I'll have a few drinks with you..." Tang Miaoling nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Qizhu's thoughts on complaining were messed up by the two of them.
Fortunately, she didn't need to cry, and the two of them had already drunk one cup after another with her.
Wei Yingya was the first to fall.
She has a low alcohol tolerance.
In the end, only Qizhu and Tang Miaoling were left drinking together.
"It's been a while since I had a drink with someone, hehe..." Tang Miaoling's cheeks were flushed and she was drinking very happily.
But Qizhu, who had ulterior motives, drank very depressedly.
Who knew Tang Miaoling could drink so much? Is it appropriate for a woman from the Central Plains to have such a good alcohol tolerance?
Cuiping went to move the wine twice more.
There were six jars in total. Wei Yingya drank half of it, and the rest were drunk by the two of them.
Qizhu's head was buzzing from drinking.
If Tang Miaoling didn't get drunk anymore, she would not be able to hold on any longer!
The two drank a few more cups.
"Empress Hepin, please come and drink with me next time...hehe..." Tang Miaoling muttered, and fell on the table with drunken eyes.
Qizhu shook her dizzy head and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she narrowly won by drinking more!
"I feel so dizzy... Cuiping, your master has drunk too much. Go pour her a cup of sobering tea so she will feel more comfortable before going to bed." Qizhu deliberately sent her out.
Cui Ping took the order and left, "Yes."
As soon as Cuiping left...
Qizhu stood up immediately, and her finger suddenly pointed at Tang Miaoling's eyes.
If someone is pretending to be asleep, it would be difficult to control the trembling of eyelashes when faced with such sudden stimulation.
But Tang Miaoling remained indifferent...
She used the same trick again to test Wei Yingya.
I found her sleeping soundly.
Qizhu was relieved.
It was worth it that she tried every possible way to make friends with Tang Miaoling. Although she suffered a lot for it, she managed to get in among them successfully, and now she has the opportunity to frame them.
Qizhu took out a secret letter that had been forged long ago from her arms and walked towards the bedroom.
She looked around, walked to the dressing table, and put the secret letter into the bottom compartment.
After quietly putting the letter away, Qizhu breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to go back to the main room.
But as soon as I turned my head...
Suddenly, a palace maid appeared from nowhere and stared at her.
It scared her.
"You, you, you..." Qizhu was stunned. Why was there someone hiding in this room?
It was Pengqin who had been hiding behind the bed curtains.
At the same time, Xiao Qingzi, who had been squatting on the roof, jumped down, flipped in through the window, pounced down, and captured her on the spot!
…
Late at night, Changning Garden.
Helian Qi was playing chess with Ning Wanyin.
Wang Degui came in with shock and reported:
"Your Majesty, Concubine He was caught hiding letters in Concubine Tang's courtyard."
Helian Qi frowned. What letter?
"Bring someone in."
Xiao Qingzi, Pengqin and Hepin came in together.
Xiao Qingzi presented the secret letter and said, "Today, the Concubine He came to drink with our masters. As a result, she took advantage of the two masters' drunkenness to secretly hide the letter in the cabinet. This servant and Pengqin witnessed it with our own eyes."
Pengqin added, "I am responsible for guarding the precious jewelry for my master, and I have been on duty in the inner room. I didn't expect that Concubine He would suddenly break in. I thought she was here to steal something, but I didn't expect that she put a letter in..."
"When I opened the letter, I found that its contents were shocking and serious... so I hurried to report it to His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine."
Helian Qi unfolded the letter and saw that it was a family letter from Marquis Changping to Tang Miaoling.
The general meaning was that the cooperation between the Tang family and the Lori tribe was very successful, so she was asked to help Princess Lan'er in the capital. She was also asked to keep an eye on the emperor's movements to prevent the emperor from noticing that the Tang family and the Beimo tribe were smuggling weapons.
This family letter imitates the handwriting of Marquis Changping very vividly.
If Qizhu hadn't been caught hiding the letter, how could the emperor not send someone to the Tang family to check after finding such a secret letter in Tang Miaoling's house?
And there is indeed a witness on the Tang family's side.
The Lori tribe really did have weapons.
The emperor has always valued and guarded against these nobles who guarded the border. With all the evidence, it is difficult for the Tang family to prove their innocence.
"She slandered my important minister and damaged the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Come, send her to the Criminal Court for a thorough investigation!" Helian Qi's face was as gloomy as water.
Qizhu boasted that her bones were still quite tough, but Dayan's eighteen kinds of torture made her realize that her bones were not really that tough.
That night, Qizhu confessed everything about herself and the tribe's plans under interrogation.
Helian Qi was furious and ordered Hepin to be executed.
At the same time, he immediately issued an order to the Marquis of Changping to send troops to the northern desert to pacify the rebellious Duoguo tribe.
He also sent letters to the Ger and Lori tribes in the northern desert, urging them to kill them together.
The ending that Qizhu and the others wanted to arrange for Lan'er's family was arranged for their own family first.
The three tribes in the northern desert combined are no match for the Northwest Army, not to mention that the other two tribes are now also very hostile to the Duoguo tribe and are determined to attack together.
After receiving the imperial edict, Marquis Changping set out for the Northern Desert, where he won victory after victory.
Early May, the Imperial Palace.
Yan Zhaoyi is about to give birth.
The emperor sent Wang Degui back to express his sympathy and respect. Wen Shutang also ordered that all places be carefully guarded, and that imperial doctors and midwives be prepared.
