My breath paused: "Whose people?"

Chabixing looked at me with a smile: "Whose men? Whose men can leave the city at night, and the queen asked someone to ask, and no one who guarded the city said."

“…”

"Miss, if my senior brother hadn't been stationed outside and had secretly received some news, even I might not have been able to figure out this matter."

“…”

I stopped talking at once.

The answer is obvious. Xi'an Prefecture was the place where Pei Yuanhao temporarily established his capital. All the protections here have been handed over to his people. Those who could ask the city gate to open the city gate at night, and even Chang Qing sent someone to ask about it was concealed the truth.

Only the emperor, only he, can do this.

I frowned and said, "But if the army of a large group left the city, it would be impossible to be so hidden, and even the queen's people could not find any clues."

Chabixing shook his head: "Not an army."

"Not an army? What kind of team is that?"

"I really can't find out about this, but I can be sure that it's not an army, it's not armed with weapons, and the number of people is not large, and there are only about a hundred people, so there is no news of the people in the city."

It was not an army, there were about a hundred people. Moreover, it was in the middle of the night, without disturbing anyone. The soldiers guarding the city received the above instructions, so even the queen sent someone to ask for it was hidden. Obviously, Pei Yuanhao consciously wanted to conceal the existence of this team, and he did not want anyone to know the movements of this team.

...

What does he do if he sends out a team like this?

Looking at my frown and falling into deep thought, Chabixing slowly said, "When I heard this news, I didn't dare to say it rashly, because since the emperor wanted to hide it, there must be a reason for him to hide it. I can't be sure whether this matter is good or bad for the eldest lady and senior brother. However, since everyone can't find the trace of Concubine Nangong in the city, I can almost be sure that Concubine Nangong should have been mixed with that group of people and left the city."

“…”

"If the emperor really wants to find him and remove the poison from his senior brother, he will eventually tell him about this."

“…”

I pondered for a long time, and then said, "But what the emperor told me was to let us escort the coffin of the concubine to the imperial tomb together."

“…”

"Are these two things-related?"

Chabixing shook his head: "I really can't guess this. I'm afraid no one can guess the emperor's thoughts."

“…”

Indeed, Pei Yuanhao's thoughts were too difficult to guess, and it was deeper than anyone I knew. The two things in front of him - he sent a mysterious team out of the city in the dark night, and asked us to escort the coffin of the concubine into the imperial tomb. If these two things are related, would that be the team also related to the funeral of the concubine and the imperial tomb?

Even if it doesn't matter, now it seems that at least the destination of the team should be the imperial tomb, so he asked us to follow us to escort the coffin of the concubine.

Thinking of this, I felt a chill on my back.

What is Pei Yuanhao doing?

Chabixing said again: "Actually, I'm still worried about something."

I looked up at him: "What's the matter?"

"The emperor secretly sent that team here, and even the queen was hidden. It can be seen that he did not intend to let anyone know. So, who is the person who carried out this matter?"

“…”

"You know, except for the emperor who followed the emperor to Xi'an Prefecture, all the other civil and military officials followed His Royal Highness to Xichuan. I have also noticed that no officials have any abnormal movements recently."

“…”

"Actually, the emperor trusts his senior brother very much. When I was working in the cabinet, I heard the emperor think about the time when his senior brother was working in front of him, but this time, neither you nor your senior brother knew about this."

“…”

"I just want to know who the emperor is sending."

“…”

I listened to what he said, but I didn't say anything for a while, but my heart moved slightly.

I remember that day, when Pei Yuanhao was looking at the good news from Jingxing Pass, he showed a strange expression, as if he had seen someone on it. Later, that night, on the night when Nangong Lizhu left, someone came here to meet the emperor at night.

Is that person?

My breathing sank for a moment, and Chabixing immediately felt it and looked up at me: "Miss, have you thought of something?"

"..." I hesitated for a moment, and then said, "No, I was just thinking, if these two things are really related, then when we escort the coffin to the imperial tomb, we should be able to find that team and see that person."

“…”

"Maybe the truth will be revealed by then. But I only hope for one thing now-"

"What?"

"Nangong Lizhu must be in that team."

Chabixing looked at my worried look and said softly: "Don't worry, Miss. Good luck, I believe that senior brother will definitely not have any trouble and will definitely be able to overcome this disaster."

I looked at him and nodded gently.

After talking about this, Chabixing continued to sleep with his "caught-after sleep". I went to Qinghan's convenience with worry and told him about this. He was very confused and obviously realized the strangeness of this matter. However, he was still very happy that he could personally escort the coffin of the concubine on the way and go to the imperial tomb. In his opinion, this was also the filial piety he could gain for the concubine in the end.

He just asked, "But, how long will it take?"

I shook my head: "I don't know this. We don't even know where the imperial tomb is."

"The emperor led the team himself?"

"Yes."

Qinghan thought for a while, then said, "Then, let's follow his arrangement."

“…”

"Maybe there will be any unexpected gains this time."

I smiled and said, "Yes, maybe there will be some unexpected gains."

In the next two days, the people in the palace began a lot of preparations. The emperor personally escorted the coffin, which was naturally a touching event of filial piety. For a time, the people in the city competed to teleport, and some people even kowtowed to the mourning hall outside the palace.

And I, in addition to accompanying Qinghan to guard the mourning hall every day and raising an incense stick, began to notice the preparations of those people.

I found that in addition to the necessary clothing and food, they prepared a lot of water.
