Yan Chi shook his head, "I have also asked about this matter. After the accident in Prince Jin's Mansion, Chang Shi and others inside were also convicted, and those who were assigned later were not in the capital anymore."
Qin Wan nodded, "Then there is no other way."
Yan Chi looked at Qin Wan, "What do you want to do?"
Qin Wan smiled wryly, "I just remembered the case of King Jin again. Now that I'm in Beijing, especially after hearing what the Ninth Prince said last time, I have more doubts in my mind."
Yan Chi's eyes also darkened for a moment, and his eyes seemed to be deep in thought.
Seeing Yan Chi like this, Qin Wan opened the curtain of the car and looked out, "When I was not in the capital, I always felt that the capital was very prosperous, but when I arrived in the capital, I realized that the more powerful the family, the more people in the game, and everyone has to follow every step of the way. .”
Yan Chi sighed, and raised his hand to stroke Qin Wan's hair. He would never forget that Qin Wan said that she still had one unfulfilled wish. Although she never knew what Qin Wan's wish was, Yan Chi subconsciously felt that she was in harmony with her. Her medical skills are related to her way of working.
He knows her amazing talent, and also knows that she is an extraordinary woman, so he does not hide any chance for her to make a move. He wants to let the world know how extraordinary she is, and he understands better that as long as she is let She walked down the path she wanted, and he would eventually know what she wanted in her heart.
"With me by your side, you don't need to take every step." Yan Chi caressed Qin Wan's soft long hair, "You just need to do what you want to do, even if it is as difficult as climbing the sky."
Qin Wan turned around, "How can I do it?"
The corners of Yan Chi's lips curved slightly, "Your medical skills are better than many old doctors who have been practicing medicine for decades. Isn't it difficult to train your medical skills? You can also perform autopsies. You are a member of the Zhou Dynasty. Isn't it difficult to be the first woman to do an autopsy for a government office in many years? It's all difficult, but you have done it, so it can be seen that no matter how difficult it is, it is not impossible."
Qin Wan's heavy heart was warmed by Yan Chi's words, and he suddenly said, "What if this matter is not only as difficult as climbing the sky, but also accompanied by many dangers?"
Yan Chi laughed when he heard the words, "Just do it, and leave the danger to me."
Qin Wan's heart skipped two beats, she pursed her lips and said, "But if you want to do this, you need power and opportunity."
The smile on Yan Chi's face did not change, but he grabbed Qin Wan's hand, "Power must be fought for, and opportunities can be created. In a place like the capital, all struggles are nothing more than the word 'power'. Apart from the word 'benefit', you can understand the true meaning of the matter and just do what you like."
Qin Wan looked at Yan Chi, and a thought suddenly popped up in his mind.
The corners of her lips curved slightly, and she suddenly asked Yan Chi again, "Is Shuoxi difficult?"
Yan Chi put one hand on Qin Wan's shoulder, and leaned slightly back against the wall of the car, making his whole body look more upright and handsome, "Difficult." Looking at Qin Wan's big black and white eyes, Yan Chi was afraid that she would not believe her, so he continued. Slowly said, "I entered the military camp at the age of ten, and only trained with the veterans for half a year before being thrown by my father to patrol the cold plain. A dozen or so people have to patrol the cold plain for a whole month."
"During this month, we spent half of the time sleeping in the ice cave and eating only dry bread. We couldn't bear it any longer, so we went hunting a black bear on the cold plain, roasted the bear's meat and drank the bear's blood. "
"I have slept in an ice hole and a wolf's den. Once I was frozen in the snow and almost failed to wake up. Others go out twice a year at most. Only me, I have to go out four times a year. Even so, I am the lowest." The supply soldiers who were waiting were not qualified to fight as forwards. Two years passed like this. When I was fourteen years old, I really went to fight for the first time on the battlefield. They are much more vicious, they will kill the wounded soldiers in the team to eat meat and drink blood when they are dying, of course, if there are prisoners in the team at that time, the ones killed are the prisoners."
Qin Wan's fingertips trembled slightly. Although Yan Chi's words were light and light, as if he was talking about something extremely ordinary, Qin Wan could imagine the pain and danger involved, and he was only a half-grown child at that time.
Qin Wan looked into Yan Chi's eyes like ink, but couldn't see any resentment or pain at all. Recalling these things, he only had an indomitable determination in his eyes, as if the sky fell, and he could withstand it by himself.
Qin Wan held Yan Chi's hand tightly, "No wonder Shuoxi's army can win forever."
The corners of Yan Chi's lips raised, and he pulled Qin Wan into his arms, "The Shuoxi Army will continue to win forever."
Speaking of the Shuoxi Army, Yan Chi's tone was full of heroism, and he said, "Whether it's in Shuoxi or in the capital, you can rest assured, if you need me to help you with anything, just tell me That's it."
The corners of Qin Wan's lips twitched, but she just lay on his chest, "I know." Qin Wan said, "I can't help you today, I wonder if there is a chance for me to meet other people in the Meng family? "
Yan Chi looked down at her, "You want to help us investigate the case?"
Qin Wan nodded, "The main reason is to meet the Fourth Master of the Meng Mansion."
Yan Chi thought for a moment, "When I make arrangements here, I will send a message to Bai Ying in advance."
Qin Wan quickly agreed, it was getting late, and the two of them went straight to the Hou's mansion without saying any more.
…
…
On the second day, Qin Wan still entered the palace at half past time, and she was unable to visit the shop yesterday, so she just asked Han Dong and his son to go back first, but today she wanted to go to the shop.
Arriving at Shoukang Palace, as soon as he entered the inner room, he saw Zhao Shuhua sitting beside the Empress Dowager's bed.
When Qin Wan saw Zhao Shuhua, he hurriedly saluted, "I pay my respects to the empress."
Zhao Shuhua smiled and helped her up, "Get up quickly, good boy, how is the Queen Mother?"
The Empress Dowager leaned on the pillow and said with a smile, "I think I'm much better. This child is really good. It's only been a few days, and my body is already much stronger."
Qin Wan hurriedly said, "The empress dowager is blessed, it's just a minor illness." Then he looked at Zhao Shuhua and said, "Don't worry, empress dowager, the empress dowager's body only needs to be recuperated later, the danger earlier is gone. gone."
Zhao Shuhua breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, "That's good, that's good." Then she stepped aside, "Come on, quickly check your mother's pulse, these days the Japanese palace knows that you enter the palace every day, because it's not good I didn't come here because I disturbed my mother's medical treatment."
Only then did Qin Wan come forward, first checked the pulse, and then asked about the queen mother's daily diet, etc., and then said to Zhao Shuhua, "The queen mother, the medicine the queen mother uses has already had some effect, don't worry."
Then he looked at the queen mother again, "My queen mother, if you feel that your legs and feet are getting stronger, you'd better walk around for a while. At the beginning, a cup of tea is enough, and the later time will be longer, so that the sick body can heal faster. Hurry up."
The Queen Mother looked at Nanny Chen, "Did you hear that? You can't let me lie down all the time."
Nanny Chen hurriedly smiled and said, "I know, I know, I just listen to Miss Nine. After a while, you get up and walk around after taking a nap."
Zhao Shuhua laughed beside her, "From now on, my concubines will accompany my mother to visit the garden every day."
The queen mother waved her hand, "It's no use, you have your own work to do, you don't have to worry about me, I just know it myself, what about Xiao Jiu? Just let Xiao Jiu accompany me."
Zhao Shuhua also looked at the door, "Yes, why don't you see Xiaojiu?"
Nanny Chen laughed and said, "The Ninth Prince has started to learn how to read and write. Today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. I went to the Master's place."
Zhao Shuhua smiled as if thinking of something, "By the way, Xiaojiu has started to learn characters now, but I forgot about that. If that's the case, the concubine will stay here for a while longer after accompanying her mother."
The Empress Dowager didn't seem to want to bother Zhao Shuhua, so she said, "You don't have to accompany me, it's boring for you young people to be with this old lady like me, so go and do your own work, I'm a little tired."
Seeing this, Mother Chen said, "The empress dowager will sleep for a while after drinking medicine in the afternoon these days, the empress do not have to worry, the servants will take good care of the empress dowager."
Zhao Shuhua sighed, "Since this is the case, the concubine can only come back tomorrow."
On this side, Qin Wan didn't intend to stay longer in Shoukang Palace. Hearing that the Empress Dowager was going to take a nap, she was naturally ready to leave. Zhao Shuhua said, "Come, let's go with me. I will take you to Zhengyangmen."
Qin Wan hurriedly said, "Don't dare to bother the empress."
However, Zhao Shuhua came forward and took Qin Wan's hand and walked out, "You saved the life of the empress dowager, for the emperor and this palace, you are also our lifesaver, what trouble is there?"
The queen's hand was a little cold, Qin Wan subconsciously felt uncomfortable being held by her, but walked out helplessly.
Outside the Shoukang Palace, the queen's sedan chair was parked quietly. The queen led Qin Wan into the sedan chair before letting her go, and asked, "I heard that someone has come to the Hou's mansion to ask you to help see a doctor?"
The corners of Qin Wan's lips curled slightly, "Yes, Mrs. Wu'anhou and the lady of the Zuo Shilang's family."
Zhao Shuhua raised her eyebrows, "The Left Servant of the Household Department? Is it the Zuo Servant of the Household Department who recently had a murder case in the mansion?"
Qin Wan nodded, "Exactly, because at this time, Miss Meng originally said that she came to the Hou Mansion yesterday, but she failed to come."
Zhao Shuhua nodded, and said again, "I heard that you were bullied by Feng Zhang at the gate of the palace that day?"
Qin Wan hesitated for a moment, "Feng Shizi was a little rude, and His Highness Chi happened to pass by—"
Zhao Shuhua sighed, "You don't have to cover up for Feng Zhang, Feng Zhang has always acted with no scruples on the authority of the Duke of Zhongguo. In the capital, it can be said that he did a lot of evil. Fortunately, he met Yan Chi that day, otherwise no one would know What will happened."
After looking at Qin Wan for a moment, Zhao Shuhua said again, "Did you meet the imperial concubine when you entered the palace these few days?"
Qin Wan shook his head, "I have never met a noble concubine before."
Zhao Shuhua breathed a sigh of relief again, "That's good." After a pause, he continued, "From now on in the palace, if she makes things difficult for you, you can just come and tell me."
Qin Wan looked at Zhao Shuhua with open eyes, and Zhao Shuhua said worriedly, "Feng Zhang's temperament will probably record this time. He has nothing to do with Yan Chi, but he has something to do with you, and because of this The next time the emperor ignored Concubine Su Gui for two days, I'm afraid she felt a little bit grievous, in short, you should be careful in the future."
Regardless of Zhao Shuhua's intentions, at least on the surface, these words are for Qin Wan's good, and Qin Wan naturally agreed, "Thank you, Empress, for your concern, Qin Wan understands."
Zhao Shuhua looked at Qin Wan very satisfied, "I think your sister likes it very much. Now it seems that the Qin Mansion is really a place of outstanding people, and your sisters are all extraordinary. There will be a banquet in the palace on the Lantern Festival. At that time, you and Come with your sister."
Today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and the palace banquet of the Shangyuan Festival will be ten days later, so Qin Wan hurriedly attends.
"I heard that there are two older sisters who entered the palace with you?"
The sedan chair slowly moved towards the Zhengyang Gate, and Zhao Shuhua continued to ask in a slow voice.
Qin Wan nodded, "Exactly, Fifth Sister and Sixth Sister."
Zhao Shuhua asked with a smile, "Is your aunt planning to marry your two older sisters?"
Qin Wan's mind was slightly tense, but she also knew that Zhao Shuhua couldn't hide anything, so she nodded, "I'm getting ready. Auntie seems to want Mrs. Wu'an Hou to help me see."
Zhao Shuhua just smiled when she heard the words, "Mrs. Song knows about it, but she has made many good marriages."
Qin Wan agreed, and Zhao Shuhua continued, "After your two older sisters, it's your eighth older sister and you..."
Qin Wan looked shy with lowered eyes, Zhao Shuhua smiled and said, "Is there anyone you like?"
Qin Wan shook his head naturally, "Such a major event, of course, depends on the arrangements of my uncle and my aunt."
Zhao Shuhua nodded with a smile, then asked about where to go, not long before arriving at Zhengyang Gate, Qin Wan got off the sedan chair, bid farewell to Zhao Shuhua, watched Zhao Shuhua's chariot go far before heading out of the palace gate.
Fu Ling let out a long breath, "Miss, is the Empress so kind?"
A slight light flashed in Qin Wan's eyes, "Yeah, it looks very amiable."
When the master and servant left the Zhenghua Gate, they saw Qin Ye waiting outside and got into the carriage. Qin Wan said, "Fourth Brother, take me to the shop on Yangjiao Street to the west to find Han Dong."
Qin Ye nodded, and the guard whipped his whip, and the carriage began to move.
In order not to delay the time, Qin Wan didn't go back to the house and went straight to his own shop. Qin Ye seemed to be responsive to Qin Wan, but he didn't say anything. Afterwards, I went to Yangjiao Street. There was a huge gold and silver jewelry shop on Yangjiao Street. It was the largest shop under Qin Yi's name. As the manager, Han Dong usually worked in this shop until the carriage stopped in front of the jewelry shop. , Qin Wan ordered a guard named Fu Jing to report.
However, after Fu Jing left for a while, she came out with a young man.
The young man came to Qin Wan's carriage, and said respectfully, "Greetings, miss, master, shopkeeper Han is not in the shop right now. He told me before he left that if the miss came, he would sit in the shop for a while."
Qin Wan lifted the curtain of the car, "Where did shopkeeper Han go?"
The clerk lowered his head, but when he heard the words, he subconsciously raised his eyes. When he raised his eyes, he saw Qin Wan's face. The clerk opened his eyes, and seemed to be stunned for a while. Fu Jing bumped into him with an elbow. It took him a while to come back to his senses.
"Han, shopkeeper Han, he went to the bank on the next street to deposit yesterday's payment."
The clerk came back to his senses, and then he lowered his head feeling out of composure. Fu Ling looked at him and saw that the clerk's entire face was flushed. He wanted to reprimand him for being rude, but he was quite helpless when he saw this, so he smiled and gave up scolding him. thought.
Qin Wan didn't think it was disobedient, and asked again, "The bank in the next street? What's it called?"
The clerk hurriedly said, "It's called Xiangfu Bank."
Qin Wan nodded and looked at Qin Ye, "Why don't we go find shopkeeper Han?"
Qin Wan didn't know how long Han Dong would be back, so he didn't want to waste too much time, so he went to find Han Dong, since it wasn't far away anyway.
Qin Ye had no objection. Right now, Yuma was going to the next street. A group of people walked to the end of the street and turned a corner into another long street. After walking not far, they saw the big signboard of Xiangfu Bank, and they hadn't left yet. At the gate of the bank, Han Dong's figure appeared in the sight of everyone. Han Dong was followed by two young men. Both of them were covered by this inconspicuous little bag. Naturally, it was for the payment. Han Dong walked , Seeing Qin Ye at a glance, Fu Ling lifted the curtain over here, and Han Dong knew that it was Qin Wan who came. Qin Wan gave an order, and the carriage stopped on the side of the street.
"Greetings Miss, Greetings Fourth Young Master—"
Han Dong walked up to him and saluted respectfully.
The corners of Qin Wan's lips curved slightly, "I just went to the shop, and I knew you were here so I came over to take a look, everything is done?"
Han Dong nodded hurriedly, "Exactly, I don't know if Miss is coming at this time, so—"
Qin Wan smiled, "I didn't tell you the time, so I don't blame you, Han Bo is still in the city?"
Han Dong hurriedly nodded, "Yes, I am. Miss said yesterday that her father stayed in the city and is still in the south of the city. Miss wants to see her father?"
Qin Wan bent her lips, "Is the shop not busy today?"
Han Dong hurriedly said, "It's not busy, it's just what the lady has to say."
Qin Wan said, "I want to see Uncle Han, you take us there." Qin Wan said, "Get in the carriage and come."
Han Dong hurriedly waved his hands, "Miss, it's okay, the villain can just walk."
It's cold in the first month of the month, and this place is not close to the south of the city, so it's impossible to walk there, Qin Wan laughed, "I don't have so many rules here, get in the carriage, I have something to ask you."
Seeing Qin Wan's serious expression, Han Dong asked the two shop assistants to go back to the shop first, then nodded and got on the carriage.
Qin Wan smiled, and was about to put down the curtain, when suddenly, she saw a rather familiar figure walking out of Xiangfu Bank, Qin Wan frowned immediately, and Han Dong who got into the carriage sat by the door Seeing Qin Wan staring out of the window, he also glanced out, seeing that Qin Wan was looking at a young man in his twenties, and hurriedly said, "Miss, do you know this person?"
Qin Wan wanted to nod, but finally shook his head, "I don't recognize him, but I think this person has an angry face, which is a bit strange."
As Qin Wan was talking, she looked over again. Of course she recognized this person, and she had only seen it yesterday. This person was one of the male servants she saw in the Meng Mansion yesterday afternoon.
Han Dong smiled deeply when he heard the words, "He couldn't get the money out, so he was angry."
Qin Wan frowned, "How do you know?"
Han Dong said calmly, "Just now, the villain went to deposit the money, and this man came in halfway. He said he wanted to withdraw the money, but it was not his own money. After he said his name, the shopkeeper said to that The guest had made an agreement, so he must have a token. This person didn’t have a token. He said that his son could not take money from his father. He was in such a hurry—”
Hearing these words, Qin Wan suddenly had a flash of light in his mind.
