Gu Qinghan was brought over by Qin Ning and lay on Qin Ning's body, her beauty turned pale. At this time, she was not worried about what Qin Ning would do to her, but she was in the courtyard. Usually, because she was worried about sudden emergencies in the house, the courtyard gate was closed. It is not closed during the day so that people can come and report at any time.
If someone saw him like this, the consequences would be disastrous. He twisted his delicate body a few times and cursed in a low voice: "Are you crazy? Do you want to live if someone sees you?" Qining's hug was not very strong. Gu Qinghan broke away and stood up, her temples slightly messy. She stood up and straightened her clothes, looked back at Yuanmen, then glared at Qining fiercely, and whispered: "I'll deal with you later."
Qi Ning sat up and changed the subject: "Sanniang, the emperor has issued an order to propose marriage to Dong Qi."
Gu Qinghan was startled, frowned and said: "Dong Qi? Isn't it rumored among the people that the young lady of the Sima family may want to enter the palace and become the queen?"
"The Ximen family thinks so." Qi Ning smiled faintly: "It's a pity that the emperor has his own plans. If the young lady from the Sima family really enters the palace, will the surname still be Xiao in this world?"
Gu Qinghan immediately raised his finger to his lips with a charming gesture, and scolded in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense."
"Sanniang, please come closer, I have something to tell you." Qining whispered.
Gu Qinghan did not advance but retreated, and said with a half-smile: "If you have something to say, just say it, no need to get close." But in his heart, he was thinking, you little bastard thinks I don't know what your plans are, and now you are so bold that you will take advantage whenever you get the chance. We can't let him succeed again and again.
Qi Ning sighed and said: "Sanniang, I really don't mess around. I have something to tell you." Knowing that Gu Qinghan didn't believe it, he whispered: "Is there a traitor in our Hou family?"
Gu Qinghan was startled. Seeing Qi Ning's solemn expression, he realized that this guy really didn't lie to him. He came a little closer, but still kept two steps away. He frowned and said: "Traitor? Ning'er, did you notice anything weird? ?”
"At today's court meeting, Feng Ruohai, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was dismissed from his post and investigated, and has been imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment." Qi Ning said solemnly: "The people who gave evidence against him are his cronies in the house. His unknown things , the evidence was caught by the Sima family. Today, the Sima family killed a chicken to scare the monkeys and used a knife on him." After a pause, he leaned forward and whispered: "Both the emperor and I feel that the evidence of the crime in the hands of the Sima family is absolutely overwhelming. Feng Ruohai is not the only one, the government is afraid that the Sima family will have the handle of many officials."
Gu Qinghan's beautiful eyes also showed horror. He took a step closer and asked softly: "Are you saying that the Sima family arranged a traitor in the Feng family?"
"People like this can do anything. We must be careful."
Gu Qinghan sneered and said: "Our Qi family has not done anything shameful. Even if we send people to search our house, we can't find any clues."
"But if our Hou Mansion really has ears and eyes, then everything we say and do in the future will be clearly under the noses of the Sima family." Qining looked serious, "Sanniang, you know, I don't care about these servants in the manor. The origin is not clear, and I am not sure whether there are spies planted by others among them."
Gu Qinghan nodded slightly and said, "Ning'er, I understand what you mean. You don't have to worry about this matter. I will investigate it secretly."
Qi Ning smiled and said: "I knew that leaving this matter to Sanniang would not go wrong."
"Don't flatter me." Gu Qinghan said, "That's right. If you go to Dongqi to propose marriage, the Sima family has no objection?"
"Except the Sima family, do you hope that other officials in the court would like people from the Sima family to enter the harem?" Qi Ning sneered: "The King of Huainan and many officials in the court naturally strongly support the proposal of marriage to Dong Qi. This matter will be discussed at the court meeting today. It has been decided that the young lady of the Sima family will at most enter the palace and become a concubine."
Gu Qinghan asked: "Is that King Huainan going to Dong Qi?" He shook his head and said: "I'm afraid King Huainan will not dare to leave the capital. If he leaves, the Sima family will not take the opportunity to attack his people."
Qi Ning smiled bitterly and said: "They pushed this matter back and forth, but in the end it fell on me."
Gu Qinghan changed his expression slightly and said, "You? The imperial court asked you to go on a mission to propose marriage?"
"This is the emperor's wish." Qi Ning said: "If this marriage proposal fails, the young lady from the Sima family will naturally enter the harem, so this time we can only succeed and cannot fail."
Gu Qinghan frowned and said: "Is there really no one in the court? Why do you have to do everything big and small? You have only been back from Xichuan for a few days, and I want you to go to Dongqi. You... you can't talk to the emperor. Otherwise, Send someone else.”
Qi Ning said softly: "Sanniang, why don't you let me go? Are you worried that something will happen to me...?"
"Bah, bah, bah!" Gu Qinghan immediately stepped forward, raised his jade arm, covered Qining's mouth with his soft hands, and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? With the protection of the ancestors of the Qi family, you are naturally Peace and smoothness, nothing... nothing will happen. If you talk nonsense next time, be careful I won't be polite to you." Although she blamed her, her concern was clear.
Qi Ning's heart warmed, and he raised his hand to hold the hand that Gu Qinghan was covering her. Gu Qinghan wanted to break away immediately, but Qi Ning held it tightly and said softly: "Sanniang, the Jinyi Qi family is different from the past now, don't say My father has passed away, and even if he is still alive, the Qi family cannot be as powerful as the Sima family."
Gu Qinghan nodded slightly, he naturally understood this.
"The power of the Sima family is increasing day by day. If he really completely controls the court, the emperor will certainly become a puppet like a caged bird, and our Qi family will not end well." Qi Ning sighed: "As long as he treats Sima The Sima family will never let go of any force that threatens our family. All we can do now is to support the emperor and prevent the expansion of the Sima family's power."
Gu Qinghan knew that what Qin Ning said was not wrong. He sighed quietly and said, "I'm worried that if you fail in your marriage proposal this time, someone will find an excuse to attack you. And some people don't want to see the marriage between Dong Qi and Da Chu. You will obstruct me in every possible way, you...!" There was worry between his brows.
Qi Ning laughed and said: "Don't worry, Xichuan is also full of murderous intentions, but I still came back safe and sound. Sanniang, this trip to Dong Qi will be fine." He sighed and said: "But there is one thing I'm afraid it will be unbearable, it's the most painful part of this trip."
"What?" Gu Qinghan asked hurriedly.
Qi Ning said softly: "I'm afraid that once I leave the capital, I will miss Sanniang day and night again. Then I will have trouble sleeping and eating. That... that will be really painful."
Gu Qinghan blushed and spat: "Are you talking nonsense?"
"Sanniang, I'm not talking nonsense, I'm telling the truth." Qining sighed: "I'm leaving in a few days, why should I tell you lies, you... you don't understand."
Seeing that he was serious, Gu Qinghan turned back to look at the courtyard door and said softly: "Ning'er, then you... then it's okay if you don't want to. Sanniang is ugly, what's there to think about."
"It's not up to me." Qi Ning was only one step away from Gu Qinghan, smelling the orchid-like musk fragrance emanating from this beautiful young woman, and whispered: "Actually, I don't want to go on a mission, I just want to stay in the capital. It’s good to see Sanniang every day, even if...even if I don’t touch Sanniang’s finger, I feel comfortable just seeing you every day.”
Although Gu Qinghan was originally married to the third master of the Qi family, he had been separated for a long time, and they had hardly been together for a long time. Moreover, the Qi family was all military commanders. Although the third master of the Qi family was brave, he did not know how to express love. Such love words , Gu Qinghan has never heard a man say it to her, and Qining has repeatedly mentioned that he misses her. After all, he is a flesh and blood body. Although these words sound a bit embarrassing, but strangely, he feels sad in his heart. Nuan, seeing Qi Ning's helpless expression at this time, felt soft in her heart. She bit her lips and then said softly: "I am your elder. You have been with me before. When you go out, you are thinking of me in your heart. This Also...this is nothing...!"
Qining thought for a while but said nothing.
Gu Qinghan thought for a moment and then said: "Then... then I...!" After a moment of hesitation, he shook his head and said: "Nothing, that...!"
Qi Ning saw that she was hesitant to speak, and knew that something must be wrong. He said softly: "Sanniang, what's the matter with you?"
Gu Qinghan still hesitated, and finally took a fragrant handkerchief from his body and put it in his hand. His cheeks were slightly dizzy and charming. He turned around and looked at the courtyard door again, then looked around the courtyard wall to make sure there was no one there. He said shyly: "You can take this fragrant handkerchief with you. If you... sweat, you can use it to wipe your sweat...!" But he didn't send it over. Qining saw that the fragrant handkerchief was made of pure white silk gauze He knew that this was the fragrant handkerchief that Gu Qinghan used to wipe his body. He reached out to take it, but Gu Qinghan shrank his hand and gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, I can give it to you, but... But you have to promise me something."
"you say?"
"Don't... don't let others know." Gu Qinghan lowered his voice and said: "I am an elder and I am bringing you this fragrant handkerchief. I have no... no other meaning, but you are not allowed to let others see it. Anyway, if others know, I will also Do you understand that you don’t admit that I gave it to you?”
Qi Ning nodded and said: "Don't worry, Sanniang, I will never let any news about you and me...!"
"You are talking nonsense again." Gu Qinghan was a little anxious: "What does it have to do with you and me? We... we have nothing to do, forget it, I won't give it to you...!" After saying that, he was about to put away the fragrant handkerchief. Qin Ning had quick eyesight and quick hands. , reached over and easily grabbed it. Gu Qinghan yelled "Oh" and tried to snatch it back. Qining dodged, put the fragrant handkerchief on the end of his nose, and sniffed it twice. This fragrant handkerchief was Gu Qinghan's. It was carried close to the body, so it was filled with the scent of Gu Qinghan's body, which was refreshing. Qining took a deep breath and said intoxicatedly: "It smells so good, Sanniang's body smells so good...!"
"Shameless...!" Gu Qinghan blushed, feeling that he had been soft-hearted for a moment and had done something wrong. He wanted to take it back, but he couldn't. He said helplessly: "You don't want to be seen, and you don't want to... don't be known."
Qi Ning put it in his arms and said: "I have this fragrant handkerchief on me. When I miss you, I will take it out secretly and take a look. Just smell it and you can smell Sanniang's scent."
"You are only allowed to look, not to hear." Gu Qinghan pretended to be fierce and said: "If you don't obey me, I won't be able to think of anything on my body in the future."
Qi Ning opened his eyes wide and asked: "Sanniang, you mean... you can still give me your things in the future?"
Gu Qinghan was startled, knowing that he had made a mistake, and was extremely ashamed, and said: "Nothing, I do what I say, and you will never think of it again." Seeing Qi Ning looking at him with a smile, he felt his heart beating violently, turned around and walked out of the hospital. He said: "I'm going to eat...!" His waist swayed, as if he was running away.
