Chapter 1063 The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (one hundred and eighty-five)

Needless to say, the Eleventh Princess and Zhao Jian were different in gender, and their relationship as siblings was already distant, so they seldom interacted with each other on a daily basis.

Zhao Yu and his royal brother had gotten along well in the past, but after the attack during the hunting trip and hearing Zhao Jian's inner thoughts, he felt that Zhao Jian's behavior was strange and inconsistent. It seemed like a warning from God, telling him to stay away from this villain.

Therefore, Zhao Yu also promised Concubine Shu that he would not have much contact with Zhao Jian in the future. "He secretly wanted to get rid of me as soon as possible, and he is very good at disguising himself."

Concubine Shu didn't want to say much on the palace road, so she waved her hand and said, "Alright, as long as you understand. It's getting late, please leave the palace and return home."

"Yes, mother and sister, please rest early." After saying goodbye to her son, Concubine Shu left with her daughter.

……

Qingli and the others returned home safely. After all, the Prime Minister's Mansion was powerful and influential, and ordinary people wouldn't dare act rashly, especially with Wei Ying accompanying them.

In front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Song Qingli, using her wide sleeves as a cover, quietly pulled Wei Ying's hand and whispered, "You go back first. I'm going into the mansion."

"I'll watch you go in. Can we meet again tomorrow?"

"Then let's have lunch together."

"it is good!"

Wei Ying smiled as he watched his beloved walk into the mansion, then he mounted his horse and rode away.

On the way back home, the two had already sorted out the whole thing and realized that all this was premeditated.

Even the Queen Mother's move to meet Qingli had a different meaning. Perhaps the Queen Mother was just being used and knew nothing about it, or perhaps she was part of those people's plan. However, in the plan, the palace maid Yin Tong was a witness, the one who witnessed Zhao Jian and Qingli's secret meeting. Unfortunately, Qingli jumped out of the established encirclement.

After entering the mansion, the Prime Minister and Song Lingji naturally asked for details. Facing his father and brother, Song Qingli did not hide anything and told the truth about how he was plotted against and fortunately escaped in time.

Prime Minister Song sighed, "Now that the royal family is in constant strife, His Majesty has become wary of our two families."

Song Lingji complained, "Father, this palace is too quiet. Shouldn't we find something to do? That little princess..."

Prime Minister Song waved his hand and said, "The time has not yet come. Do not act rashly. The two princes are facing very different situations today, and the situation in the court will inevitably be turbulent. Your Majesty will be too busy to focus on us."

Song Lingji nodded and said, "Prince Ren has become a thorn in his side. Given his own lack of ability, I'm afraid his life will be difficult." Prime Minister Song looked towards Fengli County and shook his head. "I just returned home and received a report that Guo Xuezhen was ambushed by Zhao Lan and shot twice, one in the right arm and one in the abdomen. The arrow in the right arm was poisoned. To save his life, he had to amputate his arm. The remaining poison has not yet been cleared, and he is still bedridden."

Qingli hurriedly asked, "What about Zhao Lan? Has he been captured?"

"Zhao Lan escaped wounded. He colluded with the Mongols, who infiltrated Fengli County through a secret tunnel. By the time Guo Xuezhen's men discovered him, thousands of them had already entered the county. With a Mongolian army of 200,000 men pressing in, the situation in Fengli County was critical. The Mongols committed numerous atrocities in the county, resulting in countless casualties among the people of Dazhao. Zhao Lan is truly a traitor to Dazhao!"

The brother and sister looked at each other and thought to themselves: Besides worrying about external threats, is father also worried about Song Qingting?

Prime Minister Song sent people to pick up Song Qingting and bring her back home just five days ago. Those people are probably still on the way. Now there is new news. Prime Minister Song is probably worried that Song Qingting died at the hands of the Mongolians.

However, since Prime Minister Song did not mention it, the brother and sister did not bring it up on their own initiative.

"Your Majesty should have received the news. The affairs of Fengli County will be discussed at court tomorrow morning." Prime Minister Song said a few more words and then let his children go back to their respective courtyards to rest.

In fact, the emperor was already furious and unable to sleep today. After he finally fell asleep, he received urgent military intelligence.

When he learned that Guo Xuezhen had been poisoned and had his arm severed, and that Zhao Lan had colluded with the Mongols, he immediately paced back and forth in the palace in his pajamas, cursing Zhao Lan as a rebellious son. He said that as a prince, even if he rebelled against the capital, he must never collude with foreign races to harm his own people!

If the emperor had not had to attend the morning court in an hour, he would have summoned his trusted ministers to the palace to discuss the matter.

At the morning court session, the emperor's expression was grim, and everyone in the court, both civil and military, knew he was in a bad mood. When everyone learned about the incident in Fengli County, there was an uproar.

The emperor looked at the ministers below and felt a headache in his heart, wondering who to send to reinforce Fengli County.
