Return of the Swallow

After Qin Huaiyuan said, he raised his voice and called out, "Go and invite Miss Tang over."

Qitai, who was waiting outside, should immediately.

Soon, Bingtang came in to salute.

"Hou Ye Wanfu."

"Girl Tang doesn't need to be polite. I have to bother you to go to the inner house to get a dress for Sister Yi, and then quietly bring medicine to treat the wound for Sister Yi."

Bingtang heard the sound and knew Ya, immediately understood that Qin Huaiyuan was implying that she could not leak out what happened today, and nodded earnestly: "Yes, the slave and maid will go now."

"You have Lao Tang girl." Qin Huaiyuan saw her clearly and nodded in greeting with a smile.

"The servant girl dare not, it is the servant's duty to serve the girl." Bingtang bowed his head and stepped back.

Qin Huaiyuan again instructed Qitai to guard outside, no one should come close to the study, all arrangements were made, and then he looked at Qin Yining inquiringly.

Qin Yining carefully explained what happened today with Qin Huaiyuan without any concealment.

Qin Huaiyuan was silent for a long time when he heard the words, and looked down at the carp and lotus pattern on the blue and white porcelain bowl on the table. It did not seem to be in a daze or thinking, but just sitting so quietly.

But Qin Yining knew that Qin Huaiyuan must have turned the tide in his heart, many things would be linked together, and many things were difficult to choose.

After a full incense stick, Qin Huaiyuan said: "We returned to Kyoto that day. You went back to the mansion first. For your father, you were stationed outside the city. The emperor arranged a welcome ceremony the next day, but suddenly an assassin was assassinated. "

Qin Yining straightened his back and looked at Qin Huaiyuan seriously.

Qin Huaiyuan smiled and said, "Shortly after entering the palace with the emperor for his father that day, the silver-faced spy in the hands of the emperor sent a copy of the investigation results to the emperor. The emperor showed me the secret report. Above it Said that the assassins were two groups of people, one of whom committed suicide has not yet been identified, and the other group was captured alive and tortured to confess. They are all members of the Qingtian League. And the silver-faced spy has already checked. Come out, the leader of the Qingtian League is your grandmother."

Qin Yining was stunned when he heard the words, and many disconnected clues were connected one by one. So many things happened in recent days, and there is a reason.

"So, the emperor suddenly wanted to show my mother to the public in order to lead my grandmother to save people?"

Qin Huaiyuan nodded heavily, "The emperor was furious at that day, and he could only compromise for his father, and was detained in a separate room by the emperor. There was no way to intervene in the future, and no news could be heard. Fortunately, the little lord If this matter is disturbed, the consequences will be disastrous."

Qin Yining sweated on his forehead and murmured: "In fact, that day, I also recruited people who planned to rob the law court, thanks to Pang Zhixi, otherwise it is not just the Qingtian League, but our family, afraid that they will be crowned the chaotic party. hat."

Qin Huaiyuan didn't seem surprised when he heard Qin Yining said that she had arranged for someone.Just silently nodded.

"Father, today’s affairs must have been arranged by the Cao family in advance. I think Cao’s status among the silver-faced people is not low. She deliberately took me out and pretended to be arrested. It was clear that she wanted to test me, and at the same time, she was also arrested The League encircled and suppressed once."

"Exactly." Qin Huaiyuan nodded, "Although the emperor is afraid of foreign enemies, he has been in that position for more than 30 years. How can the brains of those who can win in the battle for the throne be not enough? My mother's business made a living. Since it failed, there must be a series of plans behind."

Qin Yining nodded, feeling scared for a while.

If she agrees to the request of Dingguo's wife to kill Cao Yuqing today, I am afraid that not only her life will be hard to save, but the Qin family's heaven will change.

The silk lamp was bright, shining on Qin Yining's ugly complexion, and seeing her forehead and temples sweating, why didn't Qin Huaiyuan understand her thoughts?When encountering such a life and death matter, when I don’t know the truth, I am naturally not afraid, but now the truth of everything is right in front of my eyes. I suddenly realized that I was so close to death, not to mention a little girl. Even if he thinks about it, I feel scared. Endless.

"It's hard for you to be involved." Qin Huaiyuan sighed and touched Qin Yining's head.

Qin Yining smiled bitterly: "Father, don't say that. It's the same sentence. Since I enjoy the benefits of the Qin family's daughter status, then I will bear the corresponding pressure and responsibility. I just feel that I am really lucky and I did not choose the wrong one. I’m tired of my family."

Qin Huaiyuan felt the same feeling, and nodded.

Qin Yining asked again: "Father, have you known the identity of Aunt Cao?"

"Yes." Qin Huaiyuan hesitated, and decided to tell Qin Yining everything: "The most powerful force in the hands of the emperor is the silver-faced spies. These people specialize in assassination, detection, investigation and protection. The Cao family was secretly the leader of the silver-faced spy. After the peace talks, the country was difficult to solve, and the domestic court disputes emerged. The emperor was afraid of the Cao family’s intricate power in the court and wanted to put a hole card on In my hand, with the Cao family in check and balance, I let me accept the Cao family."

Qin Yining was dumbfounded, and said in surprise: "Does Guozhang Cao know the identity of Aunt Cao?"

Qin Huaiyuan shook his head, "This is the brilliance of the silver-faced spy. Everyone in the silver-faced spy is lurking in the dark, with unexpected identities, and they are absolutely loyal to the imperial power, and they are also absolutely confidential. Guozhang Cao didn’t know anything about the Cao family at all, and only considered that she was an ordinary woman. As far as I know, Cao’s last marriage was also because of the order to assassinate her husband and steal information. That marriage."

Qin Yining heard the words and thought of everything he saw today. That beautiful woman and such a powerful martial arts have become a tool for being manipulated. Even the important matters of marriage cannot be controlled by themselves. They are all tasks. The last time they got married was a task. Becoming a widow is the result of a mission, and now becoming Qin Huaiyuan’s concubine is also a mission...

"She is also a poor person." Qin Yining couldn't help sighing quietly.

Qin Huaiyuan only smiled and said nothing.

Qin Yining sighed and stood up and said, "Father, I won't tell my mother what happened today. If my mother asks my grandmother about them, I will say that they are very good. Later, I will find a chance to tell my mother and say that my grandmother does not want to live. In Xianguguan, I went to find a place to live by myself. As for my injuries, if someone asks, I would say that I accidentally fell."

"You are very thoughtful." Qin Huaiyuan applauded: "When dealing with the Cao family, remember not to change your attitude. The Cao family is in our house to cooperate with me in doing something, and it does not rule out that the emperor wants to arrange her Come and watch me. In short, the father will handle these things. You just need to be yourself."

Qin Yining understood Qin Huaiyuan's meaning after hearing the words, and nodded with a smile.

Qin Yining called Bingtang to come in, changed his clothes in the clean room, and after re-dressing, he covered the wound on his neck. Only then did he return to Xingning Garden without incident and go to please the Sun family.

Sun took Qin Yining's hand and asked carefully about the situation of the family members of the Dingguo family. Qin Yining only smiled and said that everything was okay to deal with, and then returned to Shuorenzhai to rest with a smile.

At this point, more than a month has passed since the days of calm and calm, Kyoto is already warm in spring, and a new batch of spring sweaters have been delivered to each room.

Qin Yining was served by Songlan to try on the new clothes, and asked the Bingtang behind him casually: "What did you just say? What did the old lady say?
