Return of the Swallow

Cao Guozhang looked left and right, making sure that the palace gate was closed and no outsiders were spying on it, so he said in a low voice, "Have you heard about the fire in Beijuxianfang?"

The queen shook her head blankly.

Given her temperament and position, if she hadn't intentionally spied on or someone else had told her intentionally, how could a fire that seemed ordinary to the outside world spread to her ears?

Cao Guozhang said: "Last night, the house where we housed those people was flooded, and the people from the Water Dragon Bureau went to put it out, but the water sprayed from the water truck turned into oil, and the fire was getting worse. When the people from the Division and the Water Dragon Bureau were in a hurry to put out the fire, the people who lived in the house ran out of the house and went missing."

"Missing?" The Queen's slightly hoarse voice was full of disbelief, "It was clearly designed by someone! Who is targeting our Cao family!"

Cao Guozhang nodded and said, "Princess Tartar was furious, so the minister made an urgent investigation, and brought all the people who might have come into contact with the house for questioning. Finally, I got some clues from Xu Mao. A few days ago, the fourth young lady of the Qin family once passed by and said that she had lost a gold-encrusted jade bracelet that was picked up by someone in the house, and asked Xu Mao to lead someone to help search, but Xu Mao sternly refused at that time. Fourth Miss Qin, there will be no one else."

"That wild hoof of the Qin family?" The queen narrowed her eyes, "That wild hoof is not simple, it has a fox-like appearance, and made a Zhou Dynasty savage bewildered, and even gave her the huge Huichun Garden. Gong took a closer look, that wild hoof looks like Qin Meng, maybe there are as many ghost ideas in his head as Qin Meng."

Speaking of this, the queen frowned and said: "Father, Qin Meng is not a good master to deal with. This palace has been by the emperor's side for so long, and I haven't found any useful information about Qin Meng from the emperor's body. Use, I think about those love affairs all day long, and I can't find out anything!"

When Cao Guozhang saw that the Queen's topic was all wrong, he said, "It's good for your sister to only treat Qin Meng wholeheartedly. Qin Meng is now my worthy son-in-law, and having a good relationship is a great help."

"Then his daughter passed by that mansion stall and became suspicious?" The Queen paused for a while, and then reflected: "My father suspects that she is in contact with the people of Da Zhou? Is it that Prince Zhongshun wants to join us?"

"It's possible, but it doesn't rule out that she was instructed by Qin Meng."

The queen sneered: "I don't care about the rest, but this wild hoof dares to be disrespectful to this palace, and I will settle an account with her. Whether she is helping her father or her lover, this palace will do it. I want her to stop worrying about these things! That day, she dared to despise Ben Gong, and she actually stood by and watched Ben Gong's jokes! Ben Gong has not suffered from this kind of uselessness for many years, will she lose to her a little girl movie? Father, don't worry, Qin Yining's life will be handed over to Ben Gong!"

When Cao Guozhang saw the queen like this,

He didn't say much, just smiled.

After Cao Guozhang left, the queen acted coquettishly in front of the emperor that night, saying that she had been having nightmares for the past few days. Because she was worried about the health of her husband and her family, she wanted to go to Xiangu Temple to have a ritual and pray for her family. .

When the emperor saw her crying pear blossoms with rain, he couldn't help but feel distressed: "Be careful, don't cry anymore, my heart is broken when you cry, I will give you everything you want."

The emperor swayed around the queen's waist, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's not a big deal to go to the funeral. Prince Zhongshun will return to the capital soon after his edict, leaving their envoys to continue handling the compensation and handover, Prince Zhongshun. As soon as you leave, it means that there are no hard bones, and the handover will be easier to handle, then I will be free, and I will accompany you, okay?"

The queen's red lips were pouting, and her tears were about to fall again: "The concubine is naturally overjoyed, but the concubine has been flustered for the past two days and has always been unable to sleep well. Look at the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes of the concubine. If you are worried about the concubine, you can either arrange someone to escort the concubine, and the concubine will kowtow a few times under the statue of Doumu Yuanjun, and you will have peace of mind."

Bai greasy fingers slid across the emperor's clothes, and then he gradually probed down, "When the emperor is free, the concubine will accompany the emperor to go again, okay?"

The emperor was so spoiled by her, plus one jade hand kept making trouble, his heart was softened, and he immediately threw away his armor and armor, and the queen would not refuse anything.

The next day, under the escort of the escort arranged by the emperor, Wei obeyed Jane and went to Xiangu Guan to meet Liu Xiangu.

At the same time, Qin Yining was lying on the soft couch in the Shuorenzhai Flower Hall, teasing with the fluffy Erbai in one hand and an account book in the other, when suddenly there were hurried footsteps approaching from the corridor.

"Back to the girl's words, someone from the second door spread the word, saying that it was the entourage of Prince Zhongshun who asked to see him."

Qin Yining was stunned for a moment, and handed the account book to Qiu Lu, who now manages her property exclusively for her, and went to the ground with Erbai in her arms.

Bingtang and Jiyun hurriedly followed and walked to the flower hall in the outer courtyard.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a tiger in a dark blue suit.

"It turns out that you are here." Qin Yining's gauze-wrapped hand fiddled with Er Bai's drooping ears.

Hu Zi hurriedly saluted Qin Yining, turned his eyes on her injured hand, looked at Bingtang again, and grinned: "Potato essence, you are here too."

Bingtang blushed angrily at Huzi's address, and he was not good at being rude in front of his own lady, so he gave him a pair of big white eyes.

Hu Zi was stunned and touched his nose, cupped his hands and said, "Fourth Miss, our lord's old injury relapsed, which caused the last poisoning to flare up again, so I specially ordered me to invite Miss Bingtang for treatment."

Qin Yining's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words. Pang Xiao was pierced by an arrow on his shoulder in order to protect her. On that day, his clothes were stained with blood, and he broke the arrow and fought again, standing in front of her and fighting the Tartars. It is still imprinted in my mind.

Poisoning is not a trivial matter. Bingtang's medical skills are good, and because of his family background, he is too young to handle Bingtang. What if there are any omissions in this? Qin Yining frowned worriedly.

Bingtang pouted indifferently: "Your lord really has a poison attack?"

Hu Zi was stared at by Bingtang's big round eyes, his face couldn't help turning red, and he grinned even more happily: "Yeah, yes, it's a seizure, so I'm sorry Fourth Miss, take Miss Bingtang with you. Let's go." He clasped his hands together and begged.

Qin Yining was a little confused when he saw Hu Zi like this.

She asked Bingtang.

Bingtang glared at Huzi and said, "Miss, don't listen to his nonsense, although the lord has suffered many injuries and developed some dark diseases all year round, but the poison has been solved at the time, and now the nonsense is poisonous, there must be something tricky in the middle! "

Qin Yining nodded slightly when he heard the words.

Hu Zi said: "Fourth Miss, for the sake of our prince's sincerity towards you, let's go."

Qin Yining's face flushed red.

Pang Xiao rescued her several times. Even if Sun's head was the emperor's scene, Pang Xiao did save her, and he did not hesitate to offend her in order to support her and give her such a valuable house.

This person is a bit domineering, and she never asks her preferences in doing things, but she owes him in the end.

"Forget it, let's go with you."

Qin Yining handed Erbai to Jiyun, "I'm going with Bingtang, you go and tell my mother, just say I have something to do outside, you can take care of my mother in Xingning Garden, if the old lady asks my mother to go , you just follow, don't embarrass her."

Ji Yun smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, girl." She hugged Er Bai and retired.

Qin Yining took Bingtang and followed Huzi out the door.
