Return of the Swallow

When Qin Yining arrived, she saw the big maid Caitangerine coming from the small stove under the corridor of the west wing with a small white porcelain bowl on a mahogany tray. The bowl was filled with dark brown medicinal soup, which smelled like a stench. bitterness.

Seeing that it was Qin Yining, Caiju hurriedly bowed his knees and said, "Fourth girls are here, and this servant has just boiled the medicine for Madam."

"How is Madam? Have you hired a doctor? Which doctor? What did the doctor say?"

Seeing Qin Yining asking questions like a cannonball, it was obvious that he was really anxious. Caiju couldn't help feeling that his wife was a blessed person, and said softly, "Master Hou ordered someone to take his post and ask Imperial Physician Zhang to see him, saying that his wife is Feeling stagnant and getting cold from the rain, although it looks dangerous, as long as the heat subsides, it will be fine. Lord Hou is in the room, girl, hurry up and enter the room."

Before the two of them spoke, they had reached the corridor.

When Xu Shi heard the voice, Cai Lan opened a light blue splendid oleander curtain for the two of them from inside the house, and whispered to Qin Yining to enter the house.

The temperature inside is much warmer than outside.

Qin Yining went around the screen, passed the side of the daily banquet and turned to the inner room, and saw Qin Huaiyuan wearing a royal blue straight jacket, sitting on the bed reading a book with his hand in hand. Mother Jin squatted on the feet in front of the bunk bed to guard Sun.

Sun's forehead was covered with a cold handkerchief, and he was wearing a snow-white middle shirt and lying on the light green brocade quilt. His face was flushed abnormally, and he slept peacefully.

Seeing the Sun family like this, Qin Yining was very distressed.

He lowered his voice and bowed to Qin Huaiyuan, then went to the bedside to ask Jin's mother Sun's situation in a low voice.

After listening to Jin's mother saying that Sun's family was fine, and let Bingtang read it again, after confirming again and again, Qin Yining was relieved, and whispered to Qin Huaiyuan to go to the study room in the outer courtyard to stay for the night, while she stayed behind.

At night, Mrs. Sun felt a little feverish again. Qin Yining stayed there all night. It was only when she saw that Mrs. Sun's fever had completely subsided before dawn that she couldn't help falling asleep.

When Sun opened his eyes, it was already bright, and at first glance, he saw Qin Yining, who was sleeping on the edge of the bed, sitting on the pedals.

Her long hair is a little messy on her back, and her cheeks are half buried in her arms. From this angle, her eyelashes are very long, casting a shadow on her eyelids. After falling asleep, she looks more childish, like a cute and fragile porcelain doll.

Sun shi was stunned at first, and then a full of emotion overflowed from his heart. His whole body seemed to be immersed in a hot spring, and every blood vessel was warm.

this child,

It's true for her.

After seeing people's hearts over time, the events they have experienced are enough to prove Qin Yining's filial piety to her.

Sun's hand trembled slightly and touched Qin Yining's head.

Qin Yining woke up as soon as he was touched, looked up, saw that Sun was awake, sat up on the edge of the bed with a smile, and probed Sun's forehead.

"The fever has subsided. How is your mother feeling now? Mama Jin has prepared porridge and side dishes for you. Let's take some medicine, okay?"

Mrs Sun nodded and sat up with her arms supported. Qin Yining hurriedly took a large throw pillow and placed it behind Mrs Sun.

"I'm fine. I just came back from Cixiaoyuan last night. It rained suddenly on the way, and I got a little rain. Look at you, your eyes are blue. I don't worry about it here. You can go back and rest."

"I'll wait for my mother to take the medicine before I go. I just told the old lady, and the old lady said that you will be spared these days of morning and evening, so that you can have a good life."

When Mr. Sun heard the old lady, he felt upset and just nodded.

Qin Yining accompanied Sun to have breakfast, watched Sun take medicine, and waited for her to rest before returning to Shuorenzhai.

After returning to make up for sleep, I slept until the afternoon, and was hesitating whether to get up for lunch or continue to sleep for a while, but someone came outside.

"Girl, there is a message from the second door, saying that the shopkeeper Zhong Da of Zhaoyun Division has something important to tell the girl. She is waiting outside the mansion at this time. Please come out of the mansion."

Qin Yining heard that she didn't feel sleepy at all, so she got up and ordered someone to wait and wash.

The shopkeeper Zhong Da is a good businessman, so he won't look for her when he is busy. If the shopkeeper Zhong Da specially invited her to speak out, it was enough to show the seriousness of the matter.

Ordinary girls don't go out the door. Qin Yining has business in hand, and it is common to go out. She only replied to Sun's family and said that she was going out. .

Qin Yining originally planned to bring Songlan, but Songlan smiled and said, "It's inconvenient to bring too many people. Jiyun has a kung fu on him, and Bingtang has medical skills, so it's good to follow the girl."

Qin Yining thought about it, and it was the same reason, so she explained that Song Lan and Qiu Lu must help her look after her home and take care of Er Bai.

Sure enough, as soon as he left the mansion, he saw the carriage of Shopkeeper Zhong Da.

Qin Yining asked Ji Yun and Bingtang to wait outside, while he got into the car.

"Master Zhong, why did you call me out in such a hurry?"

Shopkeeper Zhong Da said in a low voice, "Master, you asked me to investigate the origins of the group of assassins who carried out assassinations in Xianguguan last time.

Qin Yining said in surprise: "Really?"

Although she asked shopkeeper Zhong Da to help with the investigation, she was surprised after so long and she didn't know much about Zhao Yunsi's ability to inquire about information.

Shopkeeper Zhong Da nodded understandingly with a smile, "Our people have a good relationship with Zuzuo in the city, and we found out the news from Zuzuo, the people who assassinated in Xiangu Temple, and one of the things that happened when the emperor personally went out of the city to greet the Marquis of Anping that day. Assassins, it should be the same group of people. Zuo Zuo said that the poison in these people is the same, and they all have the smell of smoky smoke in their mouths."

"Hu Yan?"

"Exactly. This kind of huyan is different from ordinary dry tobacco. Huyan comes from the north, with a strong taste and strong energy. The northerners smoke a lot, but we don't smoke much here, and the price is slightly higher due to the long distance. As a result, there are fewer people who use it, and there is only one shop selling Huyan in the entire Kyoto City. Zuo Zuo said that all the assassins smoked Huyan, so I ordered people to quietly stand outside the Huyan shop and wait for the rabbits. Really found a clue."

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper Zhong Da lowered his voice even lower, "These people who come to buy Hu Yan are all tall men, and they don't talk much. Occasionally listening to them talking, you can still hear them talking. The language is Tatar, one of them seems to be a leader, and he doesn't look like our Dayan people, not to mention his height, his eyes are still a little gray, but he can't see it if he doesn't look closely."

Qin Yining nodded after hearing the words, "What else?"

"Our people were squatting at Hu Yan's shop. Yesterday, we encountered these people to buy cigarettes, so we followed them secretly and found their assembly place. I don't know what to do about this, so I came to ask the owner. Meaning. Do you want to continue the investigation, or does the owner have other arrangements?"

The shopkeeper Zhong Da was not surprised when Qin Yining heard the word "Tatar", he knew that Qin Yining had already guessed in his heart.

In fact, only from the analysis of the court situation, Qin Yining has long suspected Tatar.

Dazhou is in the north of Dayan, while the Tatar is in the north of Dazhou. It is said that the Tatar and Dazhou have been fighting year after year. Now that Da Zhou is negotiating peace with the Dayan Dynasty, if Da Zhou has the energy to go all out to deal with the Tartars, it must not be what the Tartars want to see. Therefore, the Tartars will try their best to destroy the peace talks between Yan and Zhou.

Now that the guess was confirmed, Qin Yining frowned, and after a moment of thought, he said, "Where is that place? Let's go and see."

Shopkeeper Zhong Da nodded after a little thought. Instructed the driver: "Go to Yongkang Hutong in Beijuxianfang."

The coachman responded, letting Jiyun and Bingtang get on the carriage, and with a slap of the horsewhip, the carriage headed for Beicheng.
