"Princess—"
Fan Xin shouted, Qin Wan quickly leaned over and pressed Fan Xin's shoulder, "I can't move, your willpower is amazing, you must hold back these few days, if you really can't help it, I will kill you again!" tied up."
Fan Xin smiled wryly, but looked behind Qin Wan.
But Yan Chi did not follow.
Qin Wan sighed, "His Royal Highness didn't come. He has many things to deal with today, so I came here alone."
Fan Xin seemed to sigh, "Now..."
Although Fan Xin's identity is Prince Rui's personal guard, but after following Prince Rui for so many years, he can lead troops to charge forward, and can plan strategies when retreating. What he sees and knows is no longer comparable to ordinary guards. A general with thousands of troops, therefore, he is not ignorant of the current situation in the capital.
Qin Wan knew what he was thinking, "You don't have to worry about these things. Your Highness will make arrangements. The most urgent thing right now is to take care of your health. Your Highness feels a lot of regrets. If you can't afford this illness, His Highness must feel guilty."
Prince Rui had an accident, Yan Chi was not by his side, now that Fan Xin finally came back alive, Yan Chi naturally didn't want Fan Xin to die again.
What's more, Fan Xin was the one who experienced Prince Rui's assassination at that time.
After asking for pulse, Qin Wan breathed a sigh of relief, and sat on a low stool beside him and said, "The emperor announced to the government and the public that Prince Rui was assassinated by the Rong people, is it true?"
Fan Xin's complexion was slightly pale. Although Yan Chi never said how important this Princess Yongci was to him, the fact that he came back alive should not be known to others, and Yan Chi not only asked Qin Wan to heal his wounds, The fact that Qin Wan can come to this small courtyard alone shows Yan Chi's trust in Qin Wan.
Therefore, Fan Xin said directly, "It seems that they are indeed Rong people. The short arrows and knives they use are all commonly used by the enemy, but... But this time, the prince did not bring many people with him, and the route he took was very secretive." , On the day when the incident happened, the lord and we settled down in the post station in Huaiqing County, north of Liangzhou, which is in the Shuoxi Army, and no one knew where we were staying."
Qin Wan frowned, "Does anyone in the army know where the prince is going?"
Fan Xin couldn't move, so he said, "No, the prince said that he would take people to patrol."
Having said that, Fan Xin said with difficulty, "At that time, the prince first received a letter from the imperial envoy sent to the northwest by the imperial court, and then he took people to drive to Liangzhou. Only the imperial envoy and the people in the Liangzhou Yamen knew that the prince wanted to past."
Qin Wan's pupils shrank slightly. Three months ago, the Northwest Army Food Case happened. Such a large amount of corruption also affected the Shuoxi Army. An imperial envoy was sent to the northwest to investigate the corruption case. The person sent was Lin Xugui, the left servant of the Ministry of War and the deputy commander of the Nine City Patrol Battalion. One, he was trusted by the emperor, not only took the post of deputy of the Ministry of War, but also the deputy of the Nine City Patrol Battalion. Holding two positions, one of the Ministry of War and the Patrol Battalion is involved in the overall planning of the military and horses of the whole country, and the other is in charge of the defense of the capital, which shows the importance of his identity.
Qin Wan suppressed the thought in his heart, "His Royal Highness will probably come over tomorrow, so you can rest at ease."
Fan Xin gave a "hmm" and said, "Thank you Princess for saving my life."
Qin Wan twitched the corners of his lips, "I promise him that he will save you and will not let you go back to the capital and lose your life."
After saying this, Qin Wan didn't delay, and changed Fan Xin's medicine after he drank it.
Fan Xin is a big man. When he was injured in the army, the doctors in the army always bandaged and treated him in a hurry. He had never received such meticulous care from Qin Wan. Ashamed, he failed to save Prince Rui's life, but now he survived alone.
"In the past half a month, you've been in a bad mood. You'll really survive after you get through it. Your Highness doesn't want you to die. This matter...You know His Highness's temper, and he still needs you."
Fan Xin's eyes were slightly red, unexpectedly Qin Wan could see what he was thinking.
Qin Wan didn't stay for long, after changing her medicine, Qin Wan left.
Xunniang sent Qin Wan away, and came back and said, "Brother Fan, you are so lucky, if it wasn't for the princess this time, I'm afraid..."
Fan Xin didn't know, he nodded and sighed, "I didn't expect the princess to be so skilled in medicine."
Xunniang said, "The princess is in the capital, but she has the name of a little doctor. That's all. The princess will also conduct autopsies and investigate cases. It is because of her repeated great achievements that she was regarded as the princess."
Fan Xin's eyes lit up slightly, but he didn't expect that a noblewoman like Qin Wan would do an autopsy.
…
…
Qin Wan returned to the Hou Mansion and asked Bai Ying to send a message to Yan Chi, saying that she had visited Fan Xin.
At this time, Qin Wan didn't know what Yan Chi was doing, let alone just go to the palace like this.
Bai Ying listened to the order and sent the news, Qin Wan felt relieved.
In the early morning of the second day, just after Qin Wan had had breakfast, Madam Yu came to ask Qin Wan to go to the main courtyard.
Qin Wanlue was sure of himself, and walked out with Fu Ling.
In the main courtyard, Qin Shu and the Hu family were there, and Qin Yan was standing beside him. Qin Wan saluted, and Qin Shu went straight to the point, "Guan'er, you know everything about Prince Rui's residence, what do you think?"
Qin Wan said calmly, "Naturally, we have to wait for Prince Rui's coffin to return to Beijing, and then hold the funeral, waiting for Prince Rui to be buried."
Qin Shu frowned when he heard this, did Qin Wan not understand
With a light cough, Qin Shu said again, "That's not what I'm talking about, you and Prince Rui's son have been married, what do you think about your marriage?"
Qin Wan asked, "Our marriage?"
Qin Shu and the Hu family looked at each other, Qin Shu said, "Guan'er, something happened to Prince Rui, Prince Yan has to keep his filial piety, this will last at least one year, won't this delay you?"
Qin Wan's face remained unchanged, "It's only been a year, why delay me? I'm only seventeen years old now, and it's not too late to marry at eighteen in a year's time."
The corners of Qin Shu's lips sank when he heard the words, and he understood Qin Wan's meaning, "Guan'er, do you know what Prince Rui's accident means?"
Qin Wan blinked, "It means His Highness Chi lost his father?"
Qin Shu's heart was blocked, and he couldn't say the rest. Qin Wan still looked at Qin Shu, her eyes were extremely clear, but Qin Shu was inexplicably uncomfortable. Qin Shu waved his hand for a while, " Forget it, it's nothing."
Qin Wan smiled, "Then I will go to the palace first to see a doctor for the Empress Dowager."
After Qin Wan finished speaking, she blessed Fushen, turned around and backed out.
As soon as Qin Wan left, Hu sighed, "Did you hear me? What I said, girl Wan is like this, she understands from the bottom of her heart, but we can't influence her."
Qin Shu smiled wryly, "This kid is really..."
"She and His Highness Chi have known each other for a long time, and this marriage was also bestowed by the Empress Dowager. With her temper, how could she tell the Empress Dowager that she does not recognize this marriage at this time?"
Hu shook his head and sighed, "I think this is the only way to go."
Qin Yan listened, and thoughtfully glanced at the direction Qin Wan left, but didn't answer.
On this side, Qin Wan went straight to the Shoukang Palace after entering the palace. As soon as he entered the Shoukang Palace, he heard Nanny Chen ordering his servants. After listening for a while, Qin Wan realized that what Nanny Chen ordered was related to Prince Rui's residence.
"His Highness Chi is in grief. No matter what, it's normal. You tell the Inner Palace to be more careful. If something goes wrong this time, the Empress Dowager will be the first to forgive."
The little eunuch in front of him kept nodding, and Madam Chen waved her hand, "Go."
As soon as she raised her eyes, Nanny Chen saw Qin Wan, and hurried up to greet her, "The princess is here!"
Qin Wan nodded, and walked inside with Nanny Chen. Qin Wan glanced at the little eunuch who left, and said, "But to prepare for Prince Rui's funeral?"
Nanny Chen sighed, "Yeah, His Highness Chi talked with the people in the inner palace for a while yesterday, and he was a little sleepy. After a while, he handed over all these matters to his servant, that servant Another person who only knows how to march and fight, doesn’t understand these things at all, so the slaves have no choice but to keep an eye on them, fortunately there are conventions for these things, and the people in the inner government and the Ministry of Rites dare not be slighted.”
Qin Wan nodded, "Can His Royal Highness enter the palace today?"
Chen Momo shook her head, "No, the emperor asked His Royal Highness to rest. His Royal Highness did not go to court today, nor did he visit the Queen Mother, but the Emperor came over last night, worried about the Queen Mother's health."
Qin Wan nodded, followed Nanny Chen into the inner room, but saw the Empress Dowager leaning on the low couch in a daze, and didn't even hear the footsteps of the two of them coming in.
Nanny Chen sighed when she heard the words, stepped forward to report to the Queen Mother before turning around.
Seeing Qin Wan coming, the Queen Mother sat up a little tiredly, "Girl Wan is here."
Qin Wan saluted and stepped forward, "Empress Dowager, have you not rested yet? Why do you look worse than yesterday?"
The Queen Mother shook her head, but Nanny Chen said, "Your Majesty woke up several times last night and couldn't fall asleep before dawn. It's been half a day and I haven't closed my eyes, hey."
Qin Wan looked at the queen mother, "The weather is getting colder and colder now, the queen mother must rest well."
As he spoke, he stood up, walked behind the queen mother, and kneaded her shoulders and neck. The queen mother slightly closed her eyes, "You are still caring."
Qin Wan pulled her lips together, "Empress Dowager, you need to relax, otherwise this sickness will not go away for a long time, and it will take a long time. When the weather turns cold, you will have to suffer every day. At that time, the emperor and several His Royal Highnesses will be in distress." to worry about."
The queen mother sighed, "Forget it, I'll listen to you."
Chen Momo smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager is going to take a nap later?"
The Queen Mother nodded, and Nanny Chen just smiled gratifiedly.
Ren Qin Wan rubbed his shoulders for a while, the queen mother took Qin Wan's hand and pulled her closer to her, "You don't have to worry about me, now I only worry about Yan Chi, I know you are the same as me, but now, It's also inconvenient for me to let you go to the palace, hey, after the funeral is over, I have to ask Yan Chi what she means, I still hope that you will get married as soon as possible, so I can rest assured."
Qin Wan smiled, "Okay, then you can discuss it with him, and I can do whatever you tell me to do."
The queen mother only felt that Qin Wan was obedient, so she hugged her, "Yanchi is really lucky to have you."
Qin Wan didn't dare to do it, so he talked with the queen mother for a while, and helped the queen mother to rest.
After the Queen Mother took a nap, Qin Wan came out, and as soon as he went out, he saw Yan Sui.
Yan Sui looked eagerly at Qin Wan, because of an accident in Prince Rui's residence, the entire Shoukang Palace was quiet for the past two days, and the emperor stayed here for a long time last night, Yan Sui was a little scared, so he didn't say a word.
Qin Wan stepped forward and pulled Yan Sui to sit under the veranda.
It was a sunny day today, but the sun was covered by clouds. At this moment, a few rays of light came from a distance, and they felt warm here, but the sun didn't fall on them. Qin Wan seemed to smell the breath of winter.
"Is the imperial grandmother very serious?"
Yan Sui asked suddenly, Qin Wan shook his head, "It's not serious."
Yan Sui breathed a sigh of relief, "Is he scared?"
Qin Wan looked at Yan Sui, and saw Yan Sui's black and white eyes looking at her.
Qin Wan knew who Yan Sui was referring to by "he", Qin Wan shook his head, "He's not afraid."
Yan Sui withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, "I was very scared."
Yan Sui knew that Yan Chi's father was dead, so he also thought of the death of his mother and concubine. He said in a low voice, "Mother and concubine were murdered, so was his uncle Rui also killed?"
Qin Wan was startled, and quickly covered Yan Sui's mouth.
"Your Highness, you can't say such a thing."
Qin Guan's nervousness frightened Yan Sui to tremble, but it was precisely because Qin Wan was so nervous that Yan Sui blinked his eyes as if he understood something. When Qin Guan let go of Yan Sui, Yan Sui lowered his head and murmured, "So it's the same."
After a pause, Yan Sui said again, "No wonder my concubine asked me to leave here."
Qin Wan's heart skipped a beat, "Your Highness, what did you say? You said that Empress Jin wanted you to leave the palace?"
Yan Sui nodded, Qin Wan suppressed his voice so that only two people could hear, "Why? When did this happen?"
Yan Sui thought for a while, "Last year's Dragon Boat Festival."
Yan Sui couldn't remember the time very clearly, and he didn't even know which day it was, but at that time, the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, Yan Sui only remembered these two words, and Qin Wan's heart was shocked when he heard it.
Concubine Jin was killed at the palace banquet in early June, but she wanted Yan Sui to leave in early May
"The concubine mother is afraid. She is afraid that someone will kill her."
Yan Sui said something again in a low voice, Qin Wan felt even more incredible after hearing this.
"Does Concubine Jin say this often? Does she tell you like she's scared?"
Yan Sui shook her head, "I've said it a few times, she is very scared and has nightmares."
For the favored concubine Jin, saying such things a few times is already shocking enough!
"Your Highness Nine, did Concubine Jin tell you something else?"
Yan Sui pursed his lips, as if he couldn't think of it, and he didn't seem to want to say it. There was a dull silence that didn't match his age on a smiling face, so Qin Guan couldn't ask anything even though he had the ability to speak like a lotus flower.
Qin Wan was anxious, she looked left and right, and suddenly knelt down to look at Yan Sui.
"Your Highness, don't you want to find out who killed your mother and concubine?"
