"Empress, now I'm clearing the clouds and fog and seeing the sunny day, but the poor old Qin family in Binzhou has been destroyed. Empress, this time the Qin family should be able to be rehabilitated, right?" Qin Niang squatted down, pushed the charcoal fire more vigorously, and looked at Qin Rouni and said.

Rubbing his hands, Qin Rouni slowly sat down, pondered for a while, and shook her head, "It's inappropriate. Su Can did the Qin family to destroy the family. Now we still need Su Can to stay in the south and eliminate Park Deung-meng. If the old Qin family is rehabilitated by a great fanfare at this time, what would Su Can think? Isn't this slap him in the face in public?"

"But even if Zhaoxue is not publicly rehabilitated, do you know it differently?" Qinniang said in confusion.

"This is different." Qin Rouniang said: "Now, this matter can only be done, not said, only done in private, not publicly."

"Empress, isn't this too wronged the Qin family?" Qin Niang was a little angry.

"Why do they know if they are dead? Living people are always more important than dead people. Qinniang, please send a message to Qin Chi and Qin Cheng, don't make trouble, listen to Ziyan honestly, tell them that in order for their nephew to be at peace and to sit in a stable position, you have to swallow this tone now, especially Qin Chi, who is in Jiangnan, and when he sees Su Can, he must show me a smile. As long as I and Hao'er are here, and with them two brothers, the Qin family will be prosperous again. If they are narrow-minded and missed major issues, I can't spare them." Qin Rouniang said with a straight face.

"Yes!" Qin Niang lowered her head and said.

"Actually, the local officials in the south are not conscious of the matter from time to time. Zi Yan told me that they were already cleaning up the Qin family's village, so they buried the dead people of the Qin family. Didn't Su Can return the bodies of the uncle and the uncles, uncles, and nephews of the Qin family? When it's time to compromise, they can only compromise. A small impatience will cause trouble!" Qin Rouniang waved her hand and said.

"Empress, what about the thousands of Qin family children who were disarmed by Su Can because of the murder of the old owner of Qin? They were all detained by Su Can as a coolie? I heard that they were all wearing shackles for the tiger guards to be cows and horses!"

"Listen to Qin Cheng?"

Qin Niang lowered her head, "Yes, didn't the Fourth Young Master want to enter the palace yesterday? He didn't dare to mention this in front of the Empress, so he told me privately."

Qin Rouniang was silent for a moment: "I know you grew up in the Qin family and have feelings for the Qin family, but don't forget that I am still the daughter of the Qin family! Some things are not done, but they are definitely not done now. There are opportunities in the future, and the most important thing now is to protect Hao'er's country and country. For this goal, I can do whatever I want, Qinniang, do you understand?"

"Qinniang understands it, and looks at the long term."

"Well, just be sure you understand!" Qin Rouniang stood up, "Let's go!" walked towards the hall.

"Is the Empress going back to Jingren Palace?"

"No, let's go to Funing Palace."

"The Empress is going to see Xie Yunqiu? Didn't the two adults just say that they can't deal with Xie Yunqiu for the time being?" Qin Niang said in surprise.

"It's not about dealing with her, but about comforting her!" Qin Rounniang said angrily: "Xie Yunqiu is a fool, timid, with the temper of a daughter of a daughter, but without the responsibility of a superior. I really don't know how the Xie family raised such a daughter? I'm worried that after she knew the Xie family's actions, I'm afraid that I would cause trouble for her. If I had a self-inflicted opinion, I wouldn't explain it. I had to let her stay in the palace peacefully."

"Empress is so generous!"

"It's not that I'm generous. Xie Yunqiu is worth dealing with her. Is the shi girl who killed her called Jingping or something? I saw her clearly. Since then, I ignored her. But Min Lian'er made me look away, which is in line with the saying in our hometown that a dog that can bite people will not bark!" Qin Rouniang said with emotion.

When I walked out of the hall, the sky outside had already darkened. Under the lights, white snow was flying. A thick layer of white snow fell on the body of the guard standing in the yard, but it was still standing solemnly and did not dare to move.

Looking at these guards, Qin Rouniang seemed to remember something and stopped, "I have asked Ziyan to send someone to do this when you are talking about the thousands of captured soldiers of the Qin family. They will be re-armed and headed to Tongzhou to join the army of Xiongkuohai. The south cannot let them stay."

"Thank you, Empress!"

"What are you grateful for? I'm also a member of the Qin family!" Qin Rouniang smiled and reached out to the guards at the door: "There is such heavy snow, and the guards in the yard have retreated. How can they bear such a cold day?"

"It is a low-level duty to protect the Empress and the Little Prince, and I dare not speak coldly!" The guard bowed.

"If you ask you to retreat, you will retreat. Now in the capital, who else will want my life?" Qin Rouniang said with a smile: "Instruct the kitchen to make a bowl of ginger soup for the guards who were on duty in the snow, and each one will enjoy a pot of wine!"

"Thank you for your kindness!" The guard seemed very excited, knelt on one knee, and respectfully watched Qin Rouna disappear from his sight.

Xie Yunqiu was indeed frightened.

When she entered the palace, she was so arrogant that she thought she was much nobler than other concubines. After her close girl was silently killed outside her bedroom, even the emperor could not pursue the matter, she was completely frightened by Qin Rouni. Since then, she has been staying in her Funing Palace more and minimizing the chance of meeting Qin Rouni. Even during the unlucky period of Qin Rouni, she did not take any harm. The body of the maid who was swaying in the wind gave her too strong shadow.

Qin Rouni turned over. Xie Yunqiu, who was hiding in Funing Palace, was glad that she had not provoked this evil star and was worried that she could not sleep day and night. Who knew that the evil woman still remembered what happened back then? Min Lian'er died, and was strangled by two guards with white silk. The little eunuch in the palace said that she died miserably. Xie Yunqiu was even more trembling and woke up from her dreams many times. In the dream, the two guards always approached her with long white silks with grinning. In the distance, the vague figure seemed to be Qin Rouni.

Xie Yunqiu is getting haggard and thigh. She is in her prime at the age of more than 20 years old. She is worried and afraid, but she doesn't want to dress up. At first glance, she looks like she is in her thirties.

Since Qin Rouni has gained power again, Xie Yunqiu's life has become more and more sad. Without Qin Rouni's words, the snobbish eunuchs and palace maids in the palace have first looked at Xie Yunqiu's dislike. It seems that the imperial concubine has not been in her life for a long time. With this idea, Xie Yunqiu still has good days. First, the food is getting worse and worse, and not to mention whether the taste is smooth. Sometimes when it is delivered, it has become cold. For example, in the winter, even the charcoal used for heating is less and less every day, making the huge palace like an ice cellar.

Xie Yunqiu dared not complain at all. The guards at the palace gate had already changed. She was afraid that her complaint would be heard by the snobbish eunuchs and palace maids. She would definitely not be able to make any mistakes. She would only be punished for a resentful heart. She was afraid that in Qin Rouniang's heart, her life would be worse than a dog.

Jing Ping died. Now there was only an old lady who came from Shuzhou next to her. The two of them depended on each other in Funing Palace, and lived a life of fear and fear.

Today, the snow fell constantly. The window paper of Funing Palace was broken and no one came to put it on again. The cold wind kept pouring from outside. Xie Yunqiu snuggled on the bed wrapped in cotton wool, still shivering with coldness. The old lady wanted to go to the yard to find some firewood that could be burned. Although there was smoke, there was still a spark, which looked warmer.

Seeing the old lady pushing open the door with a small bundle of firewood, putting the firewood in the brazier, pulling away the ashes, lying there and blowing the remaining sparks hard, Xie Yunqiu couldn't help but shed tears, and she actually fell to this point.

Suddenly, the chaotic footsteps sounded outside the door, and the hateful eunuch in Funing Palace rushed in, "Quickly, Concubine Xian is here, Concubine Gui, why don't you get up to greet him quickly? If Concubine Xian is unhappy, then something will be a big deal."

When Xie Yunqiu heard Qin Rouna suddenly arrive at night, her face changed drastically, and she couldn't help but shake. What did Qin Rouna come here for the night? Is it my deadline coming?

"Madam!" She screamed in a trembling voice, trying to get up, but her body was shaking so hard that she could not get out of bed.

The old lady rushed over and supported Xie Yunqiu, trying to help her out of the bed. The eunuch general listened to the sound of footsteps outside getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but run over quickly and helped the old lady help Xie Yunqiu off the bed.

At the entrance of the hall, figures flashed. Qin Niang stepped in first, glanced at the room, turned around, and Qin Rouniang appeared in Xie Yunqiu's eyes. Xie Yunqiu's legs became soft again. If the old lady hadn't been holding her hard, she would have slipped out to the ground.

Qin Rouniang, who stepped into Funing Palace, frowned and entered the hall from the cold wind. A heat should have come to her face, but when she came in, she felt that it was the same as outside. This feeling was so familiar. I survived this a while ago, but I didn't expect that it was Xie Yunqiu's turn now.

"See... I've seen the fairy... Concubine... Mother." Xie Yunqiu's teeth were fighting, half cold and half scared. In fact, she was the imperial concubine, and Qin Rou Niang's position in the palace was not as high as hers. But under the times, she had to bow to Qin Rou Niang. In the past, she did this, let alone now.

"Sister, don't be too polite!" Qin Rouniang was abnormal today, with a smile on her face, walked over, but looked at the eunuch beside Xie Yunqiu, "Are you the eunuch in Funing Palace?"

"Yes, yes, empress!"

Qin Rouniang looked at him and smiled coldly, "You are so nice, you have taken good care of the Imperial Concubine!"

The eunuch was stunned. I couldn't hear Qin Rouniang's words praising him or that there was something else. Before he could come back to his senses, Qin Rouniang shouted sternly: "Come here, drag this bold thing to bully the master out and beat him to death with sticks."

The guard outside the door rushed in immediately, pressed and held the eunuch who was lying on the ground, picked it up and picked it up.

"Qinniang!" Qin Rouniang signaled to Qinniang, Qinniang nodded understandingly and walked out of the hall.

"Sister, sit down!" Qin Rouni sat down and pointed to the brocade stool beside Xie Yunqiu. "This period is really too heartfelt. I don't have time to not look at my sister, but I don't expect that my sister is living in such a difficult place. These servants are so bold."

"No, I dare not!" Xie Yunqiu was still trembling with fear. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Qin Rouniang.

At this time, Qinniang had already walked back to the hall. Behind her, there were a series of eunuchs and palace maids, some holding braziers and some holding window paper, and they started working as soon as they entered the door. In a moment, several burning braziers were placed to dispel the coolness of the palace.

"Sister, don't be afraid. As the saying goes, people's hearts will be seen over time. I was in trouble a few days ago, and everyone in the palace rushed to bully me. But my sister, I used to be in trouble, but I didn't rush to take advantage of the situation, which made me look at me with admiration." Qin Rouni smiled and took Xie Yunqiu's hand and patted her gently.

Xie Yunqiu felt like she was stung by a bee, and she pulled her hand back like lightning, lowering her head and daring not to speak.

"Why are my sister so afraid of me? I can't eat people?" Qin Rouni couldn't help laughing. "My sister lived alone in the palace for a while, maybe she didn't know about General Xie Shilin and General Xie Zhao?"

Xie Yunqiu raised her head, looked at Qin Rouniang, shook her head. The news from her outside the palace had been cut off for a long time. "They, are they okay? A few days ago, I heard that they fought with the Zhengbei Army and handled it, and many people died? My father and brother are fine, right?"

"They are fine!" Qin Rouniang's smile slowly faded away, "But they actually reached an agreement with the Northern Army, gave up Jingzhou, and retreated to Yuzhou, causing us to open the flanks of Tongzhou's defense line and be attacked on both sides!"

Xie Yunqiu opened her mouth wide and looked at Qin Rouni, but she slid down the brocade stool. "Empress, it's not my business, it's not my business, I don't know anything, I don't know anything!" Xie Yunqiu burst into tears. She was dead now, and she couldn't help but hate her father and brother. Don't they know that if this happens, her daughter will have no way to survive?

Qin Rouniang frowned and bent down to help Xie Yunqiu up, "What's wrong with sister? Get up and sit down!" The last four words were already filled with anger.

"Empress, don't kill me!" Xie Yunqiu burst into tears.

"What am I going to kill you?" Qin Rouniang shook her head and said.

"My father and brother both ran away, no matter me."

"Sister, don't be afraid. If I want to kill you, one order, one zhang of white silk, and a glass of poisonous wine is enough. Do you need me to come here in person?" Qin Rouni smiled and patted Xie Yunqiu on the shoulder, "Don't worry, although your father and your brother do not care about the safety of the court, I will not make things difficult for you because you did not take any harm to you this time. This time, I will let you keep your heart in your stomach, eat, drink, and dress up. Look at what you are now, you are like a dignified imperial concubine? You don't have shame, I want it. After the New Year, after Hao'er ascended the throne, you will be awarded the title of Emperor Tai Imperial Concubine."

Xie Yunqiu looked at Qin Rouniang blankly, blinking her eyes, and for a moment, she didn't know how to answer.

"That eunuch who is slow to treat you, my son has already gone to see the King of Hell now. Don't worry, I will send someone to take care of you again. I will definitely not let you suffer such pain again." Qin Rouni stood up and said, "Sister, let's take a break today, and I will see you in two days."

"No, no!" Xie Yunqiu finally reacted, "I will come to pay homage to the concubine in two days!"

"Then you don't need to call me, I'm a few years older than you, just call me sister." Qin Rouniang smiled and turned around and walked out of the hall.

Looking at Qin Rounniang's back, Xie Yunqiu suddenly felt a move and shouted: "Sister, I will write a letter to my father and brother tonight, asking them not to let down the trust of the court and the expectations of my sister. They will definitely launch a counterattack from Yuzhou to share the worries for my sister."

Qin Rouniang turned her head and smiled brightly, "That's good, I'll bother my sister!"

The gate of Funing Palace was slowly closed, and Xie Yunqiu still didn't come back to his senses for a while, as if he was in a dream, "Madam, am I dreaming, right?"

"No, Empress." The old lady also looked gloomy. "The Virtuous Concubine will not harm the Empress."

"You are right, nanny, hurry up and polish the ink for me. I have to write a letter to my dad. I understand. As long as my dad doesn't surrender and can still fight against the Zhengbei Army, the fairy concubine will not deal with me. I can live a good life. nanny, hurry up!" Qin Rou Niang left, and Xie Yunqiu's mind was finally clear and she figured out the causes and consequences of this matter.

Cong Liang returned to Shangjing from the south, and in the three southern states, the remaining 30,000 guards who had fought with Park Demeng's group after fierce battles were temporarily assigned to Su Can. He fought against the Fifth Battalion of Quan Yifeng in Shanzhou and the Yanchi. Although they all ended with Cong Liang's victory, Quan Yifeng suffered huge losses, but the guards were not easy. The more than 5,000 people in the Fifth Battalion of more than 25,000 people retreated to the periphery of Guizhou City, but the more than 50,000 guards who attacked Guizhou also died more than 20,000. It can be said that they were both defeated. The only result of Cong Liang's success was that the entire Park Demeng's group was successfully compressed to the surroundings of Guizhou City at the cost of blood. Quan Yifeng also exchanged the lives of the soldiers of the Fifth Battalion for precious time. After the major changes in the current situation, Cong Liang could no longer launch a final attack on Guizhou City.

Speaking of the number of people participating in the war, the quality of the soldiers participating in the war was slightly inferior to those of Congliang Su Can and Changbin and other troops. However, because of the Fifth Battalion, it is not much inferior to those of the war-making troops. The passiveness of the Zhengbei Army lies in the passive position since the day when Congliang started the attack. As many as 200,000 troops were compressed by Congliang Su Can and the similar troops were compressed into Guizhou, and there was no room for strategic maneuver. From the beginning of this battle, the Zhengbei Army was at the point of being passively beaten. The gap between the tactical capabilities and combat capabilities of the various units of the Zhengbei Army also made the space that Park Deuteronomy could perform was greatly compressed, and Park Deuteronomy was very satisfied that he could finally get such an ending.

What he has to do now is to defend Guizhou firmly, and to make an unbreakable nail for the Northern Expedition Army to break through the middle of the Northern Expedition Army before making plans.

Park Demeng planned this way. At this time, in Shanzhou, Sun Chuanliang's troops who had retreated from Ganzhou had entered Shanzhou. Behind them, the First Battalion of the Northern Expedition Army led by Su Dingfang was pursuing. What Sun Chuanliang didn't know was that on his way forward, a fierce evil wolf was quietly spying on him.
