Yang Lingqi said: "In Weichen's view, Tianxiang Kingdom currently has the strength to compete with Dakang. ” Qiqi glanced at him coldly, obviously very dissatisfied with his words, but deep down in his heart, he had to admit that what Yang Lingqi said was the truth.
Yang Lingqi lowered his head, but did not stop talking: "Throughout history, often when the barbarians are prosperous is when the Central Plains is weak, if the Central Plains falls into disintegration, the more the barbarians will take advantage of the weakness.
The fundamental reason why Sharjah chose to strike a truce at such a time was that they wanted to wait for the Central Plains to fight each other before invading.
Qiqi said: "According to your meaning, we should first ally the countries of the Central Plains and sweep away foreign enemies."
Yang Lingqi said: "If you go outside, you must first settle inside." ” Qiqi laughed: "Yang Lingqi, if this palace doesn't know your past, it will definitely think that you are a lobbyist sent by Hu Xiaotian." ” Yang Lingqi said with an embarrassed face: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Weichen is loyal, and the sky can learn from it." ” Qiqi's gaze swept over the portrait of Hu Xiaotian that he had replaced and said: "It is difficult to draw the skin and bones of a tiger, and it is not the first time that this palace has heard this kind of words." ” Yang Lingqi was about to kneel down and continue to confess, but was stopped by Qiqi stretching out his hand: "This palace is not aimed at you, nor is it suspicious of you, in the past two years, you have made contributions to this palace, I can see it."
She turned around and came to the window: "Have you checked the use of Hongbei Desert?"
Yang Lingqi said: "It is clear, what he purchased, how many craftsmen he requisitioned, where those craftsmen came from, and whether they came back, Weichen basically let people find out." ” Qiqi said: "Is there anything particularly strange?"
Yang Lingqi said: "In terms of property and materials, because I don't know his specific use, Weichen is not easy to say, of course, I don't rule out the possibility of him filling his pockets." ” Qiqi said: "Filling your own pockets is a trivial matter. ” Yang Lingqi said: "If the strangest place is the number of people who died in the process of repairing the imperial mausoleum, according to Weichen's preliminary statistics, since he was in charge of the construction of the imperial mausoleum, the number of dead and missing people has exceeded 300,000, even more than the soldiers who died in the war of Dakang over the years." ” Qiqi said softly: "300,000" Yang Lingqi nodded and said: "This number may be more, the imperial tomb has been built intermittently for more than thirty years, and the death of about 10,000 laborers every year should not attract much attention."
He paused and added, "What's even stranger is that the bodies of these people are all missing, and all but a few have been claimed, and they are all said to have been buried or burned on the spot. ” Qiqi frowned slightly, but this matter was something she didn't know in the past, after listening to Yang Lingqi's report, she sat in the study and pondered for a long time, her eyes fell on Hu Xiaotian's portrait, and the corners of her lips showed a faint smile, which contained an imperceptible sadness.
Quan De'an's familiar voice came from outside the door again: "Your Highness, Mr.
Hong has come to visit you." ” Qiqi didn't go to court in the past two days, and declared that she was unwell, so Hong Beimo came to visit, she raised her eyes: "Is he coming alone or with Ren Tianqing?"
Kwon Dean said: "Myself" Qiqi said: "Let him wait in the front hall, and the palace will pass." ” Quan De'an said: "It has been arranged like this.
He thought that no one knew the temperament of this little master better than him, although Hong Beimo was Qiqi's staunchest supporter in the court, but Qiqi never let him step into the inner garden of Zilan Palace, she knew the importance of it, and she was very clear about the relationship between herself and Hong Beimo.
Of course, Quan De'an saw the process of Qiqi's portrait of Hu Xiaotian, since Hu Xiaotian's arrival, Qiqi has obviously begun to feel uneasy, and Hu Xiaotian is the only one in the world who can turn her into this.
But Quan De'an didn't understand, why Qiqi had to stay in Zilan Palace for the past two days, was she still waiting for Hu Xiaotian's arrival Hu Xiaotian's kid was in the palace, since she wanted to see it, why didn't she send him to deliver the news Qiqi had her own plans, although she knew that Hu Xiaotian was hiding in the Siyuan Bureau, she was still not in a hurry to meet Hu Xiaotian, not out of precaution against Hu Xiaotian, but because of the skull sent by Hong Beimo.
Her actions that night not only aroused Ren Tianqing's suspicions, but also made Hong Beimo suspicious, Qiqi was originally going to return it to Ren Tianqing as it was after getting the information contained in the skull, but there was one thing she didn't calculate, she didn't even react to the skull.
There is another unknown reason, after the Dragon Spirit Shengjing rebuilt the mechanism, another key to open the mechanism was in the hands of Hong Beimo, and if you want to enter it, you must first get the key from Hong Beimo.
When Hong Beimo saw Qiqi, he was still courteous, and he noticed that Quan De'an, who was accompanying him, was holding a leather bag in his hand, and the leather bag was naturally filled with the skull sent by Ren Tianqing.
Qiqi waved his hand, Quan De'an retreated, and Hong Beimo first greeted Qiqi's condition, although he thought that Qiqi was pretending to be sick.
Qiqi was very frank in this matter: "There is nothing in the way of this palace's body, I just want to calm down." ” "Your Highness is fine," Hong Beimo's gaze fell on the skull.
Qiqi said: "You can take this skull back, there is nothing in it." ” Hong Beimo said: "Could it be?"
Qiqi said: "There is no Heavenly Survey Treasure that you want." ” Hong Beimo felt lost because of her words.
Qiqi said: "You should have seen the mural of the Dragon Spirit Victory Realm, the skulls of the two people who were beheaded at the beginning were left in the palace, we got one, and the other should be in Hu Buwei's hands at present."
She stared at Hong Beimo's eyes and said, "You personally promised me to take that skull back from Hu Buwei's hands, but there has been no progress for so long." ” Hong Beimo sighed and said: "It's all Weichen's, the minister underestimated Hu Buwei's strength." ” Qiqi said: "What is Ren Tianqing?"
Hong Beimo said: "Weichen doesn't know" Qiqi sneered, she opened the leather bag and took out the skull, Hong Beimo looked at the skull, and secretly wondered in his heart, this skull doesn't look like a fake, is Qiqi deliberately deceiving himself Coldly Qiqi threw the skull on the ground, and said angrily: "What kind of grudge does this palace have against you, you actually joined forces with him to harm me" Hong Beimo was stunned by Qiqi's roar, and saw that the skull was thrown to the ground, and rolled to his feet with a grunt.
He hurriedly bowed down and said, "Weichen doesn't know why His Highness said this."
Qiqi said: "When Bengong put the skull on, I felt dizzy for a while, and there was an invisible suction force that wanted to suck the things in my head dry, Hong Beimo, do you really don't know or fake don't know" Hong Beimo was skeptical in his heart, but Qiqi said so righteously and righteously, it didn't look like an unwarranted accusation.
In fact, he didn't know the details of Ren Tianqing, if Ren Tianqing wanted to get the secret, it was possible to deliberately set a trap.
Hong Beimo said: "Weichen really doesn't know, if he dares to do this kind of thing, Weichen will never spare him." ” Qiqi sighed again and said: "It seems that you really don't know, maybe Ren Tianqing doesn't know anything about this matter, don't make a noise about this matter for the time being, you find out his details." ” Hong Beimo said: "Yes" Qiqi said again: "You can also take this skull with you." ” Hong Beimo quietly observed her eyes, and secretly wondered in his heart, this Nizi is deliberately testing me, if this skull is really as weird as she said, wouldn't it make her even more suspicious that she and Ren Tianqing joined forces to think of this Hong Beimo said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, according to the wishes of the minister, it is best for you to collect this skull personally." ” Qiqi said: "This palace is not shirking, but now this palace is really a little worried, in case someone hits the idea of another skull" Hong Beimo was shocked in his heart, could it be that Ren Tianqing was really throwing bricks and attracting jade, Qiqi knew that the more scheming people were, the heavier his suspicions became, and suddenly sighed and said: "It's better to put that skull back in its place." ” Hong Beimo said: "This is the best. ” Qiqi said: "Remember this palace, you still have a key to open the secret realm."
Hong Beimo nodded, re-transforming the mechanism that entered the Dragon Spirit Realm, and two keys needed to be activated at the same time, one was here for herself, and the other was for Qiqi, she obviously meant to take the key from herself.
Qiqi said: "If Mr.
Hong is not too hard, how about entering there with the palace tonight?"
Hong Beimo said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Weichen still has important things to do, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it tonight."
At this time, he also fully understood what Qiqi meant, took the key from his waist and sent it respectfully.
Qiqi said casually: "Put it there, don't tell a third person about the conversation between you and me." ” "Yes" Qiqi handed him the booklet that had been prepared long ago: "This is something that this palace has recently written down, you can see if it is useful." ” Hong Beimo was like a treasure, and respectfully took the booklet and put it away.
Qiqi got up and was about to leave, but Hong Beimo remembered another purpose for coming this time: "Your Highness stays, the materials at the Imperial Mausoleum are tight, and the money promised by His Highness has still not been allocated by the Ministry of Households." ” Qiqi said: "Let's talk about it a few days later, recently there are people asking for money and food everywhere, do you think that this palace really wants to hide here and steal a little leisure, I am hiding from those courtiers, as long as I go to the court, I will hear them nagging about these things, it is really annoying" Hong Beimo listened to her words to this point, and he could only temporarily give up his plan to ask for money, this Nizi's current city government is getting deeper and deeper, and it is not so easy to control her.
The two more are to be continued
