Qin Wan didn't see Yan Chi for five days in a row.
Prince Rui's Mansion now has a lot of people from the Inner Palace and the Ministry of Rituals stationed there. There are so many people, Qin Wan can't go there clearly anymore, but on Fan Xin's side, Yan Chi only sent Bai Feng over once, and never at other times. Appear.
Qin Wan was worried for two days before he realized that it was very difficult for Yan Chi to go out and meet anyone at this moment.
Qin Wan still wanted to give Yan Ze needles, and on this day, he arrived at Prince Yi's mansion early again.
Prince Yi left the capital with his troops, and Prince Yi's mansion was a little deserted. Fortunately, Yue Ning was there to take care of him. When Qin Wan arrived at Prince Yi's mansion, he also saw Sun Muqing.
The renovation of the Shen family's old house is about to be completed, and it only needs to add some furniture to live in. Because of this, Sun Muqing is very happy. When she saw Qin Wan, she naturally wanted to tell her about it and wanted to thank her.
"Princess! Thanks to the princess for Han Bo's help, everything went smoothly. These days, Han Bo helped take care of me. I am really grateful. The house is about to be completed. I think, I will be able to move in by the end of the month. Well, I don’t know many people in the capital, and I would like to invite the Princess and Han Bo, as well as the Princess Yongning and His Royal Highness to have a light meal together, the Princess would like?”
After all, it is a new house, Sun Muqing probably wants to celebrate one or two, and also has a sense of gratitude.
Qin Wan nodded naturally, thinking of going back to the old house, she felt a sore pain in her heart again.
After seeing Yan Ze, Yan Ze said, "I haven't congratulated you and Yan Chi yet, something happened to Uncle Prince Rui, how is Yan Chi?"
In the past few days, Qin Wan had a lot of troubles in his heart, and he was not diligent in coming to Prince Yi's mansion. Since the marriage was bestowed on him, this was the first time Qin Wan came here, and Yan Ze's words made Qin Wan feel guilty and complicated.
"Thank you, Your Highness. He has been preparing for the funeral at the Palace these days, so he should be fine."
After hearing this, Yan Ze said, "After all these years in Shuoxi, he is probably the most resolute among us."
Yan Ze sighed and didn't say much, so Qin Wan gave Yan Ze the needle.
Sun Muqing also knew the news that Qin Wan was given a marriage, and her heart was a little complicated for a while. When she thought of the situation in Yunwu Mountain, she felt a little taken for granted. With a sigh, Sun Muqing thought of her little junior sister again.
It was not the first time to give Yan Ze needles, Qin Wan's hands were very smooth, after waiting for half an hour, Qin Wan said, "What do you think, Your Highness?"
Yan Ze said, "The pain around the eyes is getting stronger and stronger. After the last acupuncture, I sometimes feel like a layer of gray cloth is covered in front of my eyes, which is much better than the original darkness."
Yue Ning was overjoyed when she heard this, "Is this a sign of eye recovery?"
Qin Wan and Sun Muqing looked at each other, both of them were happy, and Sun Muqing said, "This is indeed a good sign, it seems that acupuncture plus medicine is right!"
Qin Wan also heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. During this period of time, his mood was too heavy, but Yan Ze's eyes had improved, and Fan Xin's injury had also temporarily stabilized. These things were all good things, and most importantly, she The marriage with Yan Chi is already a certainty.
Yue Ning looked at Yan Ze happily, "Third Brother, I'm afraid your eyes will be healed by the end of the year!"
Yan Ze smiled slightly. I don't know if it was because he was blind for many years before, but his mentality is surprisingly calm now. No matter the doctor told him that his eyes could be saved, or told him that he could only be blind for the rest of his life, he would not be too disappointed or Surprise, over the years, he has long been used to repeated disappointment and joy, unless it really comes to the moment when the eyes can see it.
"It's been a hard time for you all."
Yan Ze said something in a gentle voice, but Sun Muqing didn't even dare to say it.
Seeing Yan Ze so calm, Yue Ning felt helpless, and pulled Qin Wan to ask about Yan Ze's condition carefully.
Knowing Yue Ning's concern for Yan Ze's eye disease, Qin Wan naturally explained it well. While talking, the conversation involuntarily turned to the matter of Prince Rui's Mansion. After all, this is the biggest event in the capital recently.
Speaking of this matter, Qin Wan felt bad in his heart, Yue Ning and Yan Ze also understood, after a while, Qin Wan got up to say goodbye, Yue Ning sent Qin Wan to the door, and said as he walked, "After this incident, Your marriage with him has to be put on hold for a while, and I don't know what will happen next, anyway, it's different from before, and grandma is still a little worried about you."
Qin Wan laughed, "What's the matter, I don't want to marry."
Yue Ning watched Qin Wan hesitate to speak, Qin Wan patted her on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I understand."
Yue Ning sighed, "You are the most transparent."
Qin Wan smiled, resigned from Yue Ning and went to Houfu.
As soon as autumn came, everything around was tinged with desolation and desolation. When Qin Wan entered the palace early the next morning, the morning breeze was a bit embarrassing. Qin Wan looked up at the majestic palace behind the Zhenghua Gate After entering the palace gate, Qin Wan still went straight to Shoukang Palace. The weather was getting colder, and Qin Wan was very worried about the Queen Mother.
Before arriving at the Shoukang Palace, Qin Wan learned that the Empress Dowager got up early today to go to the Yongning Palace where the fifth princess lived. Qin Wan knew that the fifth princess's marriage had gone wrong again, so she couldn't help feeling a little bit sad. When she asked again, it turned out that Yan Sui was not in the palace. Wan didn't want to wait alone in Shoukang Palace, and thought of where Yan Sui might go, so he headed towards the Imperial Garden.
In early autumn, the imperial garden was still full of verdant greenery. Qin Wan knew that Yan Sui always liked to go to secluded places, so he looked for him near the rockery he had been to last time. However, Qin Wan was surrounded by paths in the garden when he searched around. Confused, but still did not find Yan Sui, while hesitating, Qin Wan heard voices coming from the pavilion on the rockery.
The rockery is piled up into a low hill, with dwarf pines and lush vegetation on it. On the top of the hill, an octagonal pavilion stands. Standing in the pavilion, you can see all the continuous palaces and pavilions in the south, but there is a blind spot under the rockery.
"King Cheng has been sending letters to the northwest for the past few days."
As soon as the voice came out, Qin Wan's complexion changed slightly, it turned out to be Qin Yan's voice!
Soon, another voice sounded, "He has already placed a lot of people in Shuoxi's army, so I am not surprised."
Qin Wan's eyebrows twitched, it turned out to be the prince!
My third brother and the crown prince, what are you talking about privately
Qin Wan subconsciously felt a little uneasy, knowing that he should leave at this time, but when Qin Wan heard the two of them mention the Northwest, he immediately understood Yan Che's plan, last time Yan Chi also wanted Yan Chi to go to the Northwest, what is he going to do now Intend
Qin Wan lifted her heart high and held her breath for a moment!
"Master Zhang is coming back soon, but if King Cheng is one step ahead of us, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with."
Yan Che hesitated for a moment and said, "Recently, King Cheng has been keeping a close eye on the Ministry of Industry, and there is no way to find his fault."
Qin Yan sighed, "What happened at the beginning of the year only disturbed the government of Zhongguo. Since then, King Cheng has not been close to Feng Zhang, and now there is no other way."
Yan Che quickly said, "It's almost the end of the year, and Zhao Jing is coming back. Let him plan these matters."
After a pause, Yan Che said again, "This time, it's best not to kill anyone."
Qin Yan said casually, "The last incident was handled very cleanly, Your Highness can rest assured." Qin Yan then said, "Speaking of which, Jiumei almost broke things last time, but luckily the little general's people responded quickly. "
Yan Che frowned and said, "Last time we were caught off guard. Now, King Cheng is also watching us closely. If someone dies and gets implicated in himself, the loss will not be worth the loss. For the matter in the northwest, wait for Zhao Jing and Zhang Qide to come back. Reconsideration."
The two were talking, when they suddenly heard a soft sound, Qin Yan frowned and turned to look under the rockery, but only saw a ray of autumn wind blowing the green bamboos on the ground to rustle, Qin Yan said , "The weather is getting cold, Your Highness, take care of yourself."
Yan Che withdrew his distant gaze, turned around and walked down. After walking a few steps, Yan Che said, "The marriage between Princess Yongci and Yan Chi..."
Qin Wan smiled wryly, "Father and mother have mentioned it, but the ninth sister has made up her mind and doesn't intend to regret the marriage. If she doesn't speak, father and mother have no choice."
No matter how loyal and brave Hou was, he would not dare to raise objections to the imperial decree issued by the Queen Mother himself. Besides, at this juncture, only Qin Wan could say that relying on the Queen Mother's favor, the Queen Mother might soften her heart, but this is impossible. of.
"Princess Yongci and Yan Chi, did you..."
Asking directly whether there is an affair will damage Qin Wan's reputation, and Yan Che can't ask.
Qin Yan smiled wryly when he heard the words, "I've known him since early in Jinzhou, and His Highness Chi Chi took good care of my younger sister. Among them, no matter what, there is more friendship than others. My younger sister has a temperament that values affection and righteousness. If you decide it, you won’t change it, not to mention that your parents can’t resist it, even if the Empress Dowager speaks up in person, I’m afraid Ninth Sister would not agree.”
Yan Che narrowed his eyes, and strode down the rockery.
…
…
Qin Wan walked up to the Shoukang Palace and just looked back.
Seeing that no one was following behind him, Qin Wan heaved a sigh of relief, but his heart had already sunk to the bottom.
It has been more than half a year since I first entered Beijing, and the scene where Qin Yan took her to Zuixianlou for dinner just now is still in front of my eyes. Feng Zhang and Zhao Jing fought, because Feng Zhang killed someone and was arrested. The feet were grounded, and the troubled King Cheng was also reprimanded by the emperor. At that time, Qin Wan had rescued the injured person. She thought that she would definitely save his name, but she died in the end. At that time, she was very sad. Sorry, I didn't expect...
Unexpectedly, in Qin Yan's mouth, he turned out to be the one who almost broke things.
Yan Che said not to cause further troubles, not because he thinks human life is precious, but because he is afraid of implicating himself.
What Yan Che wanted to seek was the whole of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Qin Yan, as a member of the Hou family and a staunch supporter of the prince, had no reason to criticize such a plan. Qin Wan did not want to judge Yan Che by the oath he made when he was studying medicine. She looked at Che and Qin Yan with cold eyes, but emotionally, she only felt chills in her heart.
This is the Tian family, this is seizing the heir, and human life is worthless.
Qin Wan entered the Shoukang Palace, inexplicably felt that the atrium seemed a bit cramped today, the queen mother had not returned yet, and Yan Sui was still missing, Qin Wan suddenly felt that the palace was cold and declining, and the people here were cold and hard, even with this So what about the magnificence and wealth, the principles taught by my father are even more useless here.
Maybe now, she should learn to think like the people here.
Qin Wan still waited alone for a while, the queen mother finally came back, dragging a sick body, when the queen mother came back, her complexion was even paler, knowing that Qin Wan was waiting, the queen mother finally smiled, but got off the sedan chair The chariot was a little trembling and unsteady when walking, Qin Wan was shocked, and quickly helped the queen mother in with Mother Chen.
After asking the pulse and prescribing a prescription, Qin Wan broke out in a cold sweat after the queen mother drank the medicine and fell asleep. At this time, Qin Wan did not want the queen mother to have another accident.
Qin Wan pulled Nanny Chen and asked, "What's the matter today? The queen mother is seriously ill, how can I go out?"
Nanny Chen sighed, "The wedding date has been set for the fifth princess, and the Northern Wei's credential has arrived, so it is set on the twentieth of the winter month. But today, when I learned that the Northern Wei's credential has arrived, the fifth princess is not happy." In the morning, it was said that the fifth princess drank poison and was about to commit suicide... "
Nanny Chen lowered her voice, "The empress dowager is going to pass as soon as she hears it."
Qin Wan was taken aback, "And then? How is the fifth princess?"
Nanny Chen sighed and nodded, "It's nothing serious. What I took was not poison, but some tonics. The imperial doctor prescribed a neutral prescription. Now the empress is incompatible with the fifth princess. The empress dowager used to cry, Hey, everything was fine before, but this past half a year is really good, and now something happened to Prince Rui, although Prince Rui was not born by the Queen Mother, but now, it is any junior, the Queen Mother can't bear to watch it happen, let alone Rui Rui back then. The prince was raised under the empress dowager for a while."
In old age, some people understand that life and death are indifferent, and some people are particularly sentimental. When the queen mother was young, she was vigorous and resolute. At this moment, she may have suffered a serious illness, but she can't stand the white-haired person sending the black-haired person. , Qin Wan saw it when he rushed into the palace that day, the queen mother was hit hard when she heard the news of Prince Rui's death.
"In the past few days, we must not let the empress dowager get angry again. Last year, the empress dowager was seriously ill. She was raised in spring and summer, and she was getting better and better. Now she is going back. When winter comes, It's even more difficult for the Empress Dowager."
Nanny Chen naturally didn't dare to be careless, "Don't worry, the Princess, from today onwards, the maidservant will take care of the news from the Empress."
Qin Wan knew that Nanny Chen was not joking, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and told some things that needed attention before leaving the palace. After getting out of the palace gate and getting into the carriage, the carriage slowly headed towards the Marquis' Mansion. When he got to the lively place, Qin Wan couldn't help but turn his eyes and look out. It was approaching the Qiuxi Festival, and Qin Wan suddenly thought that last year's Qiuxi Festival At that time, she was still in Jinzhou, where the Autumn Eve Lantern Festival was splendid and colorful, but she got separated from the crowd and was almost in danger, but was rescued by Yan Chi.
As soon as Qin Wan's mind sank, she felt that the bustle was rather dull.
Just as he was about to put down the curtain, Qin Wan glanced at the corner of his eyes, but saw a familiar figure coming out of a shop on the side of the street and getting into the carriage, Qin Wan's spirit lifted, it was Li Muyun!
