After going out of the palace gate, the carriage of the Qin family was still waiting at the gate of the palace. Seeing Qin Wan coming out, Cheng Hu hurriedly greeted him, "Miss Nine, the son has returned to the mansion first, let the villain wait for you here—"
As he spoke, he looked at Yan Chi and Yan Li again, Cheng Hu recognized Yan Li, but looked at Yan Chi with hesitation.
"This is His Royal Highness Prince Rui, His Royal Highness Prince Gong."
After Qin Wan said something, Cheng Hu hurriedly saluted, Yan Chi originally wanted to send Qin Wan back to the mansion, but he didn't want Qin Yan to keep him.
Qin Wan looked at Yan Chi and Yan Li and said, "Isn't His Highness Li going to take His Highness somewhere? Then Qin Wan will go back home first."
Yan Chi's face turned serious, "Where are you going? I'll pay New Year's greetings to the concubine later, naturally there are other things."
Qin Wan's eyes flashed with a smile that seemed to be not a smile, and Xiang Yanli looked at Qin Wan with a smile on his side, "Brother Qi is too boring, Miss Jiu, when will you be able to come and go as you please?" House?"
Now that the case of the victim of the woman in Lin'an City has been solved, it is not impossible for Qin Wan to enter and leave the Hou Mansion, so she said, "It will be fine in a few days."
Yan Li blinked at Qin Wan, "I'll take Nine Girls to a fun place then."
The corners of Qin Wan's lips curved slightly, "Thank you Your Highness, then Qin Wan will return home first."
Speaking of blessing Fushen, Yan Chi nodded and watched Qin Wan and Fu Ling get into the carriage driven by Cheng Hu.
When Qin Wan got into the carriage, Yan Chi turned his eyes and looked at Yan Li for a moment, with a hint of warning in his eyes. Yan Li rolled his eyes and suddenly laughed, "Seventh Brother is nervous? Seventh Brother doesn't want Ninth Girl Know that I want to take you outside to have fun?"
Yan Chi narrowed his eyes slightly, and Yan Li said, "Seventh brother, what are your plans? I saw you returned to Beijing for a few days, but you didn't express anything. Is Miss Jiu unwilling or do you have any concerns?"
Yan Chi shook his head, and turned to walk towards his horse. The two of them came on horseback. Seeing this, Yan Li followed and got on the horse. Because it was the first day of the new year, people outside the imperial city There were no officials coming and going on the imperial road, the snow had not yet melted, and there was a vast expanse of whiteness. The speed of the two horses was not fast, so Yan Li whispered, "Seventh Brother, if you and Ninth Girl have nothing to do, what should you do?" Is it not good to be free, brother in the capital, who doesn't hang around the Qinlou Chu Pavilion all day long?"
Yan Chi frowned slightly, and suddenly said, "Ah Li, are you going to live like this for the rest of your life?"
The smile on Yan Li's face froze, and then he waved his hand with the horsewhip casually in the air a few times, "Isn't this very good? How many people envy me that I can do whatever I want without having to calculate power or worry about money. , Wake up and control the power of the world is not what I want, it is more suitable for me to lie drunk on the lap of a beautiful woman... "
Speaking of which, Yan Li sat on the horse and stretched, "Seventh brother, it's really good that I am like this. There are too few carefree people in this world. It just so happens that I am lucky, and my mother and concubine treat me well." Any request isn't it?"
Speaking of which, Yan Li looked at Yan Chi with a smile, "Seventh Brother is different, Uncle Prince Rui will not let you be so drunk."
Yan Chi's eyes darkened slightly, "It's fine if you really like this."
As he spoke, he speeded up his horse, and Yan Li followed behind with a smile, "Is there anything you like or dislike, Brother Seven, are you really not going to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion? It's fine if you don't pay attention to the Fengqi Tower..."
Yan Chi turned a deaf ear, and the horse speed became faster and faster, heading straight for Prince Gong's mansion.
On the other side, Fuling in the carriage let out a long breath, "Miss, the servant can finally talk."
Fuling entered the palace today, although she has gained a lot of knowledge, she didn't say a single word other than saluting to her masters. This was a huge torment for her!
Qin Wan raised her lips, "How about it, do you want to enter the palace next time?"
Fu Ling shook her head subconsciously, but looking at Qin Wan, she said, "I don't want to do it myself, but I would like to accompany you." She said with a bitter face, "Fortunately, I am not a slave in the palace, otherwise it would be too uncomfortable Well, that elder sister of Shoukang Palace doesn't seem to have a low status, but for a long time she kept her eyes open and didn't dare to say a word, which really makes people feel aggrieved. Don’t go to that palace in the future.”
He sighed again, "Miss Ba is too pitiful, she will suffer such offences in the future."
Qin Wan was just smiling at first, but she couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard this. Qin Chaoyu wanted to be a princess, but many women in the world couldn't envy such a good thing, but Fu Ling said that she was going to suffer !
Seeing Qin Wan laughing cheerfully, Fu Ling's face was red, "Miss actually laughed at the servant girl, that's how it is in the palace, and what happened to us today, although the servant girl didn't see it clearly, it was Xiu'er's scream The servant heard the sound, so it can be seen how worthless the life of the servant is in the palace..."
Qin Wan smiled, "Don't worry, we only entered the palace to see a doctor for the Empress Dowager."
Fu Ling nodded, "I'm just glad I know this, I really don't know what those people who want to enter the palace think, and so many concubines think about the same person all day long, and that person is still bothering about the country's affairs, one can imagine that How much love will people give them? They were still juicy flowers when they entered the palace, but they all withered in the end."
The smile in Qin Wan's eyes completely faded away, and he also felt a bit sad for a moment. The metaphor of Fuling is extremely vivid, because all he does is wait all day long, so the women in the palace have extra time and energy to intrigue, And in order to fight for the pitifully little love, they had to fight.
Shaking her head, Qin Wan dismissed the thought. In any case, it has nothing to do with her.
On the contrary, it was the words of His Highness Ninth Prince today that planted an introduction deeply in her heart.
Concubine Jin's case is complicated and confusing, but she is still at a loss.
Qin Wan calmed down, Fuling didn't dare to say much, she only opened the curtain to see the scenery outside, on the first day of the first lunar month, Lin'an City was very middle-aged, and the sound of paper cannons and fireworks could be heard from time to time, Fuling took a few deep breaths Breathing a cold breath, the whole person was freed from the cautious and oppressive palace, and when she turned her eyes, Fu Ling saw a familiar figure.
"Hey, Miss, look, that person seems to have been to the mansion before?"
Qin Wan came back to his senses and looked out following Fu Ling's pointing finger. With this look, he saw Zhan Yang standing on the side of the street, surrounded by four office servants, and standing in front of him was a middle-aged man in plain clothes. Yang didn't know what he asked, but the middle-aged man anxiously explained, Qin Wan frowned slightly, and said slowly, "Stop."
Cheng Hu also saw Zhan Yang outside, he followed Qin Yan, and naturally met Zhan Yang many times.
The carriage stopped, and Qin Wan looked at Zhan Yang and the middle-aged man in front of him with deep eyes.
After watching for a while, Zhan Yang seemed to have finished asking but didn't know what he knew, so he frowned and turned around. After turning around, he saw Cheng Hu and Qin Wan. Zhan Yang was slightly surprised, and walked towards Qin Wan's carriage .
"Why is Miss Nine here?" Zhan Yang cupped his hands and asked.
The two met each other in the morning, and Qin Wan smiled and said, "I just came out of the palace." As he said that, he glanced at the middle-aged man not far away, "Why is Zhanbutou here on the first day of the new year this year?"
Zhan Yang didn't laugh either, but his voice became gentler, "Zhan Yang is single, and he's fine during the Chinese New Year, not to mention there are a lot of chaos in Lin'an City during the Chinese New Year, so he's always stationed in the yamen." Zhan Yang turned around and looked, "This morning, someone came to report the theft in the restaurant. This person is a clerk in that restaurant. He is resting at home today. We found him and are investigating."
"But what did you find out?" Qin Wan asked.
Qin Wan helped Zhan Yang before, and Zhan Yang also knew that Qin Wan was thoughtful and wise, so he said directly, "No, he's just a waiter, and he doesn't know anything about the robbery of the restaurant."
Qin Wan squinted her eyes, looked at the middle-aged man for a moment, and said suddenly, "I'm afraid I don't know everything."
Zhan Yang raised his eyebrows, and turned to look at the middle-aged man, "Why did Nine Girls say that?"
Qin Wan fixedly looked at the middle-aged man and said, "When Caizhan was arrested and questioned just now, he seemed very nervous."
Zhan Yang frowned, "Generally, when being questioned by the yamen servants, one would feel somewhat nervous."
Qin Wan shook his head, "Most people are nervous when they are questioned, and when they speak, they just lower their eyes and look very respectful, but when he spoke just now, his eyes were always looking at the upper left, his arms were huddled close to his body, and Although his hands are hanging by his side, the fisting fingers are constantly moving, and he is subconsciously pulling at the hem of his clothes, while he looks shy, but his legs take half a step back, as if he wants to get away from you Farther."
After Qin Wan finished speaking, Zhan Yang turned to look at Qin Wan, "I also noticed what Miss Jiu said..."
Qin Wan bent his lips, "This person is the waiter of the restaurant. Think about it, what does the waiter of the restaurant look like?"
Zhan Yang thought for a moment and said, "Quick movement, nimble hands and feet, sweet mouth and quick brain."
Qin Wan nodded, "That's right, but he doesn't seem to be quick and agile now. He is too nervous, and the direction of his eyes shows that when he answers the question, he is thinking about the countermeasures in his head, that is, he is thinking about how to answer the most. Okay, if you usually think this way, the answers must be edited, and his tense body shows that he doesn't want to be questioned by you. Subconsciously wants to stay away from you, even, he wants to run."
Zhan Yang raised his eyebrows, as if he still didn't quite believe it, "What Nine Girls said—"
"Stop! Don't run!"
Before Zhan Yang could finish his sentence, there was a loud shout not far behind him. Zhan Yang suddenly turned around, only to see that the middle-aged man had already run away. Zhan Yang stared at him, then turned his eyes to look at Qin Wan in disbelief. .
Qin Wan smiled and said, "Zhan Butou goes to get someone, even if he didn't do it, he still knows the inside story."
Zhan Yang moved his lips, and didn't know what to say for a moment. He had been a head arrester for many years and handled many cases. He thought that Qin Wan's autopsy was already very good, but he didn't expect that she would also read these little details like this as thorough.
Zhan Yang cupped his hands, said "Farewell first" and turned to chase after him.
Seeing Zhan Yang leave, Qin Wan just lowered the curtain of the car and ordered to return home.
In the carriage, Fu Ling looked at Qin Wan in admiration, "Miss, you are so amazing, you can tell that person is lying at a glance... Then... If this is the case, wouldn't anyone who lies can hide it from you?"
Qin Wan laughed and shook his head, "Of course not, I haven't formed a habit yet, I just watched Zhan Butou questioning that person, and I became more scrutinized. Everyone has their own habits in words and deeds, but everyone has something in common. Under the influence of certain moods, there will be similar symbolic movements. Based on these, you can judge the authenticity of the person's speech. However, if you talk to someone on weekdays, if you don't doubt the person, you will naturally not deliberately look at it. , so it is impossible to find out, and some people have become a habit of talking in the vernacular, unless the matter is of great importance, some ordinary lies will not reveal too many flaws."
Fu Ling was stunned, "So that's the case. Fortunately, the young lady doesn't always have a discerning heart. That would be too tiring."
"That's right." Qin Wan laughed again, "Besides, it would be very boring to tell the truth from the false in everyday life, and it doesn't matter if you don't distinguish between the true and the false..."
Fu Ling didn't understand at first, but after thinking for a while, she realized what Qin Wan meant.
Two quarters of an hour later, the carriage approached Zhongyonghou's mansion.
Qin Wan didn't pay attention to the ups and downs just now, but when he was about to reach the gate of the mansion, the carriage suddenly stopped again, and Cheng Hu said from the outside, "Miss...something is wrong..."
Qin Wan gave a "hmm", opened the curtain of the car to take a look, and immediately opened her eyes wide.
When they left, the front of the Hou's Mansion was still empty, but in this short period of time, there were more than ten carriages parked in front of the Hou's Mansion, and those carriages were all covered with canopies and vermilion lacquer, which was very luxurious. Qin Wan frowned, "Is there any banquet in the Hou Mansion today?"
Fu Ling shook her head, "No, I haven't heard Madam say that."
Qin Wan just felt strange, "That's why, so many people came all at once, those who didn't know thought that the Hou Mansion set up a stage today to invite everyone to watch a play."
Cheng Hu said, "Miss, why don't you go through the west door? This door is blocked, and the carriage can't get in."
Qin Wan put down the car curtain, nodded and said "yes".
As soon as the words fell, the carriage turned to the side door of the Hou's mansion. Fortunately, there was no one there. Qin Wan got out of the carriage and entered the door. Before he had walked a few steps, he saw Bai Ying coming in a hurry, "Miss—"
Qin Wan was slightly surprised, "Why are you here? What happened?"
Bai Ying looked a little weird, "Miss, madam asked me to pick you up, and go back directly to Shofuin by detour."
Qin Wan thought that Qin Shu and his wife must be concerned about her entering the palace, and wanted to say something, but she didn't expect to let her go back to her yard. Thinking of the carriage in front of the mansion, Qin Wan glanced at the main courtyard and said, "Yes. Not a visitor from the house?"
Bai Ying nodded, "Miss just left, several Madam Hous came to the mansion, and after that, many people came one after another. I want to come to Miss you for medical treatment!"
Qin Wan paused, "Ask me to see a doctor?!"
Bai Ying nodded, "Nurse Yu said that everyone knew that the young lady saved the queen mother, and also knew about the rewards from the palace, so they knew that the young lady's medical skills were better than the imperial doctors in the palace, so they all came here upon hearing the news, Yu Mammy also said that some people may have come to see the excitement, anyway, the entire main courtyard is full of people, Madam asked Miss to stay away."
Qin Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and Bai Ying said, "Just now, the servant was watching at the gate of the mansion. Seeing that the lady's carriage didn't go through the main entrance, she knew that the lady had gone through the side entrance, so she came here just now."
Qin Wan couldn't stop laughing, "Can't these ladies find a good doctor in the city? Why are you looking for me?"
She is not a doctor sitting in a clinic for consultation, why come to her
Bai Ying shook her head, "Nurse Yu said that the news about Miss last night had spread all over the capital, and everyone knew that there was a little fairy doctor in the Qin residence. Some of the people who came came with old diseases, and some came to see if Miss's medical skills were true or not. , plus you saved the Empress Dowager's Mansion's status will definitely improve a lot, so there are also some people who are rushing to build relationships."
"This is really..."
Qin Wan didn't know what to say for a while, and followed Bai Ying all the way back to Songfengyuan.
…
…
Yan Che walked out of the palace in a light car all the way, and when he arrived in front of the Hou's mansion, he was also taken aback by the rush of carriages in front of the door.
He Yin, who was also dressed in casual clothes, frowned slightly and said, "Your Highness, isn't the Hou Mansion entertaining guests today? If so, I'm afraid everyone will know about it when you come, Your Highness?"
Yan Che's eyes darkened slightly, "Today is the first day of the new year, so it's a banquet, and it should be after the third year of the new year."
In the folk customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is really rare to entertain guests on the first day of the new year. It is the first day of the new year, and most of them are family reunions. Who is busy entertaining foreign guests on the first day of the new year
He Yin smiled wryly, "But this battle is real. If Your Highness doesn't mind everyone knowing, it's fine."
Yan Che was already bored in the palace, and now it's so easy to leave the palace, why would he think of returning without success
After thinking for a moment, Yan Che said, "Does the Hou Mansion have a side door?"
He Yin rolled his eyes, "There should be." Then he leaned over and explained to the guard driving the car.
The guard driving the car was named Zheng Wei, and he was the captain of the Imperial Forest Guard of the Eastern Palace. Hearing this, he immediately turned into a small box next to the Hou's Mansion. After a while, he saw the side door of the Hou's Mansion. Qin Guan had just entered from here not long ago. The concierge never expected that the prince would come. As soon as the door opened, he heard He Yin say that the prince was coming, the concierge panicked and rushed to report.
Yan Che was sitting in the carriage, and soon heard the voices of Qin Shu and Qin Yan.
Qin Shu strode out from the door, lifted his robe and bowed, "Meet Your Highness the Crown Prince—"
Qin Yan also saluted, raised his eyes, and Yan Che got down from the carriage.
"I haven't come to Aiqing's mansion for a long time, but Aiqing's mansion is having a banquet today?"
Yan Che walked through the side door, and after thinking about it, he knew that he saw the scene of the main entrance. Qin Shu smiled wryly, and while inviting the prince to the mansion, he told the truth. So much influence?"
Qin Shu smiled wryly, "Your Highness knows that in the capital city, there are many people who join in the fun, test the wind, and have bad intentions. If you really come to see a doctor, there are very few people. Your Highness, the main courtyard is all It's a human, so I can only invite you to the study."
Yan Che originally meant this, and nodded when he heard the words, he didn't take it seriously, "Nevertheless, the nine girls in the family have gained fame, and she saved the emperor's grandmother, which is indeed impressive."
Yan Che's words sounded like a compliment, but Qin Shu was right on the spot, and said with a smile, "We didn't expect Wan girl this time, after all, she is only such a young age, if it really makes the empress dowager's body come alive, it will be the best." Her creation."
Yan Che pursed his lips without saying a word, and followed Qin Shu all the way to the study. Although the Hou's mansion was not as large as Jinzhou Qin's mansion, it was not small, and Qin Shu's academy was a separate courtyard. Because he often saw important guests, he arranged decorations. The clothes are also extremely elegant and rigorous, Yan Che walked all the way, but he didn't see a single person from the house, and when he arrived at the study, he found that the hot tea and cakes were all ready.
Yan Che was very satisfied, and finally dispelled his anger in the East Palace.
Once seated, Yan Che said, "Ai Qing is much more comfortable here."
He Yin sat on Yan Che's subordinate seat, and when he heard this, he knew that Yan Che was worried about what happened earlier. Thinking of this, He Yin smiled wryly. A concubine is harmless, but Yan Che is very restrained in this way. This time, not only the queen expressed concern, but other people also moved a lot of thoughts. After being canonized as the crown prince, more people yearn for Yan Che to be here. , and in order to get a share of the future harem, there are also those who have bad intentions and want Yan Che to indulge in beauty, but how could Yan Che, who has been accustomed to seeing harem women fighting since childhood, fall into the way of those people
Sitting opposite He Yin, Qin Shu said with a smile, "His Royal Highness is coming suddenly, I am not prepared, I am afraid that I will belittle His Royal Highness, I ordered someone to prepare some food and wine, today is the New Year, please drink lightly in the humble house A glass."
The corners of Yan Che's lips curved slightly, finally showing a rare smile, then nodded and said, "That's naturally good."
Qin Shu was delighted, and hurriedly ordered Qin Yan to inform Hu.
When Qin Yan went out, Qin Shu said, "His Royal Highness came to visit suddenly, is he here to relax, or is there something else important?"
Yan Che looked relieved and said, "It's nothing important. The corruption in the south has been properly arranged now. Ai Qing thinks she knows it well. I'm here today because I'm bored in the palace, just to relax."
Qin Shu's heart sank when he heard the words, his expression relaxed, and he started talking to Yan Che about interesting things in daily life.
However, while talking, he still talked about government affairs, Yan Che said, "Father has retained His Royal Highness, Prince Rui's son, as the left servant of the Criminal Department, which can be regarded as temporarily filling the vacancy of the Criminal Department. There is Aiqing in the Ministry, and the other Criminal and Military Departments are the most important. Before Qin Yan wanted to help Ben Gong, but Yan Chi did not respond. He is a person on the battlefield, and he wants to do things based on his own subjective judgment. He's still having a hard time."
Qin Shu thought for a while and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Rui is indeed difficult to deal with, but as long as he does not return to the Shuoxi Army, it is not impossible in time. When he knows that no one in the capital can survive alone, he will naturally Choose a tree to live in."
Yan Che nodded, and turned his eyes, "By the way, when Zheng Qing went to report the case to the palace last time, he said that thanks to your great help, the case was solved and the Lin'an Yamen was rewarded, but you, the one behind the scenes, were rewarded. The hero is missing, if I have what you want, I will definitely not begrudge it."
Qin Shu laughed at Chun Chun, "Your Highness is joking, it is the job of a subordinate to share your worries for His Highness, how dare you ask for a reward?"
Yan Che took a sip of tea, and said suddenly, "I heard that the reason why the case was solved is because Ai Qing recommended a strange person here, saying that this strange person's autopsy methods are extremely powerful?"
Qin Shu's eyes lit up slightly, and he knew that Zheng Baishi had cheated, "Master Zheng is right, there is indeed a strange person here." He said in a deep voice for a moment, "Does Your Highness want to know who this person is?" ?”
Yan Che put the teacup away, "That's right, I still want to meet that person."
Qin Shu straightened his back, and his expression became a bit hesitant. Seeing this, Yan Che raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong? Inconvenient?"
Qin Shu quickly shook his head, "That's not true, but this person has a special identity, and His Highness has already met her... I hope His Highness will not get angry after knowing the inside story."
Yan Che raised his eyebrows, "I've seen it before?" Yan Che thought about the family members of the Qin family who he had seen before, but couldn't figure out who it was for a while, but this matter was for him, so how could he be angry
"Don't worry, I just want to meet this strange person, and I want to reward him, how could I get angry?"
Seeing this, Qin Shu had no choice but to get up and said, "Okay, then please wait a moment, Your Highness, and the subordinates will make arrangements."
Yan Che nodded, and Qin Shu also walked out. As soon as Qin Shu left, only Yan Che and He Yin were left in the room. He Yin asked strangely, "Your Highness, who are the disciples of the Hou Mansion that you have seen?"
Yan Che shook his head, "When Zheng Qing said it, he also said that the Hou family had recently entered the family, but recently I have only seen Lord Hou and Qin Yan, could it be Qin Yan?" Yan Che shook his head again, "Impossible, if he must have made a move a long time ago, if not, could it be that one of their guards, Bengong, didn't pay attention?"
There has never been a woman in Da Zhou who was a lowly servant, so Yan Che only thought of men. He Yin nodded when he said this, "Your Highness is right, the biggest possibility is this, if it is really a guard, it is fine, as long as It must be used, as long as he can serve His Highness the Crown Prince in the future, or His Highness can ask to come and put it in the East Palace."
The corners of Yan Che's lips raised slightly, "If it's really a strange and capable person, it would be good to have an income in the East Palace, but I don't know if Master Hou will let him go or not."
He Yin smiled and said, "Why don't you let it go? Master Hou and his son are very attentive to His Highness the Crown Prince. Keeping it by their side is inconvenient for His Highness to use. It's better to give it to His Highness directly."
Thinking of this, Yan Che decided that He Yin's words were justified, so he thought that when he saw someone, he would reward Qin Shu and Qin Yan first, and then ask for someone, so that Qin Shu and Qin Yan would not be disadvantaged. .
In order to conceal Yan Che's whereabouts, Qin Shu screened away all the servants in and out of the study courtyard, and now he sent a message to ask him to go in person. He never returned, and the entire study courtyard was so quiet that only the occasional birdsong could be heard Voice.
As soon as he heard the sound of birdsong, Yan Che had the idea of getting up and walking, put down the teacup, opened the door and went out, and saw the whole courtyard was elegant and quiet, Yan Che nodded secretly in his heart.
The last time he came was in autumn, and there were no plum blossoms in the courtyard at that time. Thinking of this, he walked along the corridor to the plum blossom tree on the west side. Seeing him like this, He Yin walked closer follow.
…
…
"What? The Crown Prince is here? Want to see Qin Wan?"
Qin Chaoyu stood up all of a sudden, and Mo Yi hurriedly said, "Yes, miss, but I don't want to see Miss Jiu by name, but I want to meet the person who helped solve the case last time. Just now, Lord Hou went to tell his wife in person, and then his wife asked the son to Master is going to call Miss Nine."
Qin Chaoyu frowned slightly, and his expression suddenly became a little dignified.
Yan Che is not a lustful person, and he didn't ask to meet Qin Wan by name, but he will soon find out that Qin Wan not only has an outstanding appearance and first-hand medical skills, but also helps in autopsies. Once, he actually helped him. With Yan Che, he would definitely look up to Qin Wan...
Seeing Qin Chaoyu's serious face, Mo Yi said in a low voice, "Miss, don't you want Miss Jiu to see His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Qin Chaoyu smiled lightly, "Why don't you want to? If I don't see you today, I will see you in the future. If you don't know today, you will know sooner or later." Saying this, Qin Chaoyu's heart sank slightly.
She can't change this, but she can't do what Qin Wan knows.
"What is the young lady's plan? Counting the time, the prince has already gone to Miss Jiu."
Qin Chaoyu collected himself, "Since I can't change it, I can take the opportunity to try her."
As he spoke, Qin Chaoyu raised his chin slightly, "His Royal Highness came alone? Are you in the study now?"
Mo Yi shook his head, "He brought Mr. He, Lord Hou dismissed the servants over there, only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Mr. He are there, Madam has already asked someone to prepare the food and drinks, and send them to the study later. There are still many people in the main courtyard, and Madam needs to take care of them, Madam is very busy at the moment."
Qin Chaoyu nodded, then suddenly turned around and walked out, Mo Yi hurriedly picked up the cloak and put it on Qin Chaoyu.
The two master and servant arrived at the main courtyard very quickly, and after asking where Mrs. Hu was, they found Mrs. Hu. Qin Shu was about to leave at this moment. I'm planning to let you meet His Highness the Crown Prince later—"
The corners of Qin Chaoyu's lips curved slightly, "What is father going to do now?"
Qin Shu said casually, "His Royal Highness and Lord He are over there in the study, it's not easy to let them be there alone, I'm about to go back."
Qin Chaoyu said with bright eyes, "Today is the first day of the new year, and the crown prince is here. Isn't father going to prepare something?"
When Qin Chaoyu said this, Qin Shu just remembered, "You reminded me, just in time, the "A Thousand Rivers in Spring" that was taken back earlier can be given to His Royal Highness, and I will ask Wu Chao to go to the treasury to get it now .”
Qin Chaoyu thought for a moment, "I'm afraid it's not enough to just have a picture, let alone Mr. He."
He Yin is the chief official of the Eastern Palace, and the number one trustworthy minister by Yan Che's side, so he should not be ignored.
Qin Shu frowned, "Then I'll go to the treasury myself." As he spoke, Qin Shu walked a little faster, and then told Hu Shi, "Hurry up to deliver the food and wine prepared by Madam—"
After Qin Shu left, Qin Chaoyu's expression became a little condensed, "Mother, are the food and wine ready?"
Hu shook his head, "The wine is ready, but the dishes need to wait."
Qin Chaoyu said casually, "Then... let's send the wine over first."
Hu Shi was suspicious, Qin Chaoyu looked outside again, "Is brother back?"
Mrs. Hu shook her head, "I'm going to call your ninth sister, oh yes, His Royal Highness wants to see your ninth sister."
As he said that, worry appeared in Hu's eyes. The mother and daughter looked at each other, and naturally knew what each other was worried about. Qin Chaoyu suddenly leaned over and whispered a few words in Hu's ear. Hu was stunned, " Yu'er? Really?"
Qin Chaoyu nodded, and said firmly, "Yes, mother, let's arrange it like this."
Mrs. Hu hesitated a little, Qin Chaoyu said, "If she really has no wrong thoughts, I will believe her."
Hu sighed, "Are you... not afraid of self-defeating?"
Qin Chaoyu raised his chin slightly, "If it's the prince... then I'll admit it."
Mrs. Hu hesitated to speak, but Qin Chaoyu's expression was firm, so Mrs. Hu could only sigh, "That's fine."
Soon, Qin Wan, who was a bit puzzled, followed Qin Yan to the back hall. There was a jug of wine beside Hu, and when he saw Qin Wan coming, he smiled and said, "Guan'er, you are here, you are here." Did the third brother tell you?"
Qin Wan smiled wryly, "Third brother said that there is a guest who wants to see me, but he hasn't said who it is yet."
Hu smiled, "Don't be nervous, this time is also a good thing, your uncle and the guests are in the study yard, you go." He looked at the jug of wine beside him, "You can help me send this jug of wine first, Yan'er, wait a moment, the dishes will be ready soon."
Qin Wan naturally knew the way to the study, and it was okay to go alone, but for some reason, she always felt a little strange, could it be Zheng Baishi? Is it Li Muyun? Or does someone want to heal her
Qin Wan had a lot of questions in his mind, but seeing Hu's smiling face, he couldn't ask any more questions, so he had to resign himself to his fate and headed towards the study with the pot of wine. It was a sunny day and he was in the Hou's mansion, so Hu wouldn't know. harm her.
Thinking about it like this, Qin Wan didn't feel scared, but was a little curious who would be the person who wanted to see her
On this side, Yan Che was standing under the plum blossom tree. His eyes were not on the plum blossom branches, but on a small bird on the top of the tree. It was cold in winter and it was hard to see the bird, but this gray bird The little bird dared to come and eat the plum blossom buds, but Yan Che not only did not drive the bird away, but admired the bold little bird with a little interest.
Just as he was fascinated, suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps.
Yan Che raised his eyes and saw Qin Wan's figure at a glance. She was still wearing the dress she wore when she entered the palace earlier, clean and elegant, but Yan Che frowned. This is Qin Shu's study , and he has made arrangements to cover up his whereabouts, even if someone came, it should be Qin Shu or Qin Yan, so why did Qin Wan come here
Not only that, Yan Che saw at a glance that there was no one behind Qin Wan, she came alone, and what made Yan Che even more disgusted was that she was holding a wine pot in her hand, this time, Yan Che's heart went out The fire was lit again!
Qin Wan was alone and appeared in a place where she shouldn't be. Yan Che, who was used to seeing the women in the harem fighting, immediately thought of Qin Wan's reason for coming. He frowned, and his eyes showed a bit of contempt.
He didn't like women who pretended to be pitiful and weak on the surface. At first he wasn't sure whether Qin Wan was the kind of person who had a lot of scheming inside, but now seeing Qin Wan coming alone with a jug, he understood Qin Wan. man!
Such a Qinghua and soft-looking Ninth Girl of the Qin Mansion, she became a well-known medical fairy in the capital in just one night, and now, knowing that he has come to the mansion, she even dares to lure her with wine alone!
Yan Che's eyes were slightly cold, and he stepped out from under the plum blossom tree. As soon as he walked out, Qin Wan naturally saw Yan Che as well.
Yan Che clearly saw a hint of surprise from Qin Wan's eyes, the corners of Yan Che's lips raised, his smile was slightly cold, he acted well, he acted really well, knowing that he was here, but still pretending to be an accidental encounter? If it's an accident, why are you still holding the wine? ! And the Qin family, how could they let a Qin Wan who had nothing to do with his trip come to deliver wine
Yan Che knew what Qin Shu was thinking, even if he wanted to deliver the wine, it should be delivered by Qin Chaoyu.
After much deliberation, Yan Che was even more certain of Qin Wan's thoughts—
"Meet His Royal Highness—"
Qin Wanfu saluted, then frowned, why did the prince want to see her? !
Is it because of the Empress Dowager's illness? Or because of that case
Although Qin Wan was surprised, she still quickly turned the corner!
However, when she was hesitating, she heard Yan Che's cold voice.
"What are you doing here?!"
Yan Che's tone was cold and hard, obviously with bad intentions, Qin Wan was taken aback, not knowing where Yan Che's aloof anger came from, she stood up, raised her eyes, and saw the contempt in Yan Che's eyes very dazzlingly.
Qin Wan was very surprised for a moment, "No... Your Highness the Crown Prince wants to see a civilian girl?"
After Qin Wan asked, he glanced around very quickly, except for seeing a strange man, he didn't see Qin Shu here, so he was even more puzzled, and subconsciously, Qin Wan was also dissatisfied with the prince's inexplicable anger , what's more, why did he look at her so contemptuously? ! It's as if she is some contemptible person.
Yan Che sneered again, "I want to see you?"
Yan Che asked a question, and the tone made Qin Wan feel at a loss. Qin Wan suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and said calmly, "Didn't His Highness want to see you?" Qin Wan felt that something was wrong, and took a step back, " That being the case, Minnen will not bother His Highness."
As Qin Wan said, he was about to step back, but Yan Che narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Ninth Miss has already let everyone in the capital know your name as Immortal Doctor by her own efforts. Now that you come here alone, could it be that you are still coveting the glory of the Eastern Palace? rich?"
Qin Wan didn't react at first, but then she understood where the contempt in Yan Che's eyes came from. He thought she came here to attract his attention and please him? !
Thinking of this, Qin Wan's eyes sharpened.
