HCB Chapter 327 Disturbance
Chapter 327 Disturbance
"Qin Sanyue, come here for a moment. I have something important to tell you." An Lingrong turned around and called out.
Qin Sanyue put down the scabbard he was wiping, stomped his dark boots on the ground, walked over and sat down next to An Lingrong, looked at her eagerly and said, "My lady, do you have any new mission?"
"If Ling Rou's information is true, then Princess Shisan is still in the Dzungar Khanate? Her shadow is always lingering in my mind. She looks so majestic and seems to be a very blessed child. How come she has become a victim of the war between the two countries this time?"
"My lady, are you planning to send someone to rescue her? The journey is long, and if the number of people is small, not only will we fail to rescue anyone, but we will also have to sacrifice our own lives. This is an extremely difficult task! From the day she was taken into the palace from Xingshan and accepted into the empress's fold, to the day she was sent out of the palace and sent to the Dzungar Khanate, Shisan has become an abandoned child of the entire palace! Are you planning to save an abandoned child?"
"I know, but based on my feelings, I think Shi San's life should not end here. She is a wealthy and powerful person. As long as the Qing Dynasty does not kill her, Ce Ling regards her as a goddess. How could they bear to kill her!"
"But, in a war between two countries, swords are ruthless. Soldiers on the battlefield are either you or I. No one cares about so many things. Ce Ling is now fighting on the front line. If we want to save him, we can only rely on Su Wan'er. If Su Wan'er is a person who values love and friendship, she will most likely save Princess Shi San in order to preserve her sister's bloodline. Unfortunately, Su Wan'er is just a weak woman who can't even tie a chicken. So, my lady, Princess Shi San can only leave it to fate."
"Qin Sanyue, you've said so much. Do you want to watch Princess Shi San die under the ruthless sword? Isn't the reason you learn Kung Fu to uphold justice and promote good and eliminate evil?"
"But, young lady, this is a matter of the imperial court! The emperor knows everything! If the emperor doesn't care about it and we intervene, wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?!"
At the end of his speech, Qin Sanyue, feeling guilty, lowered his voice gradually, so low that it was as quiet as a mosquito, and An Lingrong could hardly hear it.
"Qin Sanyue, what did you say? Speak louder. Should we save the person or not? What if the person is your blood relative?"
"My lady, if it is your blood relative, you will definitely go to rescue him, but this is something that the imperial palace doesn't care about, it's laborious and thankless, and I don't want this to implicate you."
"Okay, tell me the truth. I just gave you a verbal order. You are the one climbing the mountain and wading through the water. To be honest, if you go alone, you may not be able to rescue them."
"My lady, please forgive me for making fun of you. I dare not go ahead. I want to live a few more years. If I die, who will protect you?"
"Qin Sanyue, you alone are definitely not enough. If you can add Xia Qian, it will be enough. You will definitely be able to rescue Su Wan'er and Princess Shi San."
"Alas...I am yours in life and yours in death. If you insist on rescuing Princess Shisan, I will have no choice but to obey your orders. You are right. It is useless for me to go alone, but Lord Xia is useful. Lord Xia alone is worth ten servants! Besides, Lord Xia has been in and out of the Dzungar Khanate more than ten times. He is familiar with the route. He is responsible for the work, and I am responsible for keeping an eye on him. He will rescue Princess Shisan, and then I will run away with her in my arms, and Lord Xia will be responsible for covering us. There will be absolutely no problem. We can rescue people easily. In my mind, Lord Xia is the best in the Qing Dynasty."
"Well, if we want to involve Xia Qian in this matter, we have to get the approval of the emperor and have his permission or tacit approval. But at this critical moment, how can the emperor be willing to transfer Xia Qian out of the palace to save a discarded child?"
"My lady, you have said that if I had a brain, I would not be a slave forever. I don't want to have a brain myself. I want to serve you all my life. You have to make the decision yourself. I am only responsible for following your orders."
Qin Sanyue walked under the phoenix tree with an expression as if it had nothing to do with her, sat there and began to wipe the scabbard with a cloth. The scabbard had been wiped to a shine, and the leaves of the phoenix tree fluttered and sprinkled all over her.
An Lingrong looked at Qin Sanyue blankly. How could she make the emperor willingly give up Xia Qie and send him to the Dzungar Khanate?
How about this! It is basically certain that the 1,000 soldiers were sent by the emperor, so let Ling Rou's people make some noise, disperse the soldiers? Lost the food? Or simply disperse their team, find a few women to seduce them, and defeat them one by one. Seduction is the way to minimize casualties.
That’s settled!
An Lingrong felt that it was not safe enough to put the handwritten note in the food and ask Qin Sanyue to take it out of the palace. She decided to go home in person and quietly reveal the news to Ling Rou in a small room in the quiet courtyard that could shelter from wind and rain. It would be safer.
So, An Lingrong asked the emperor for leave and took Qin Sanyue back to Xiu Zhuang. She couldn't avoid some lively time with her father, mother and several children. Every time she brought snacks from the palace to Xiu Zhuang, that was when they were happiest. Then An Bihuai killed a duck she raised herself, An Lingrong washed her hands and made soup, and she and her mother Lin Xiu were busy in the kitchen, preparing some snacks for the two children who went to private school. They also invited the landlord's old teacher to have dinner together, and the family was very happy.
After dinner, the moon was up above the branches, and An Lingrong heard light footsteps and the sound of the door being locked in front of the courtyard. It was Lingrou who came back. Xiuzhuang was always the last person to lock the door when she returned home. The last person to return home under the moonlight was always Lingrou.
Ling rubbed and pounded her back, probably because she had been busy all day and felt a little sore. There was a jubilant scene in the yard. She realized that it was An Lingrong who came home. Naturally, she was happy again. She held An Lingrong's hand and they went to the room to whisper together.
......
The next day, just after daybreak, the carriage to the palace was waiting outside. An Lingrong gave detailed instructions and told Ling Rou to do it as soon as possible.
After returning to Yining Palace, Juqing brought breakfast to the palace, saying that it was made by Concubine Wan herself. The belt she made last time had been handed over to the emperor by Eunuch Su. The emperor liked it very much. He summoned Concubine Wan to wait in the Yangxin Palace early this morning. The emperor did not need to attend court today and handled court affairs in the Yangxin Palace.
An Lingrong felt a little relieved. Although Zhen Huan and she were in a cold war on the surface, they had secretly reconciled and were back to normal. Although they had verbally agreed to be an alliance, after such a commotion, An Lingrong made Zhen Huan realize that she was not someone who could be bullied easily, and if she wanted to break the alliance, she would not end up well.
They are still allies in secret, but in front of her, Zhen Huan has already lost the upper hand. In fact, Zhen Huan has become a surrendered chess piece in An Lingrong's hands. If she does not have any second thoughts, An Lingrong will be very satisfied.
