Qin Wan didn't know what the Queen Mother and Princess Taichang had said in the inner room, but after a short while, Princess Taichang called them in. As soon as they entered the room, they saw that the faces of the Queen Mother and Princess Taichang were a little pale. Seeing this, Qin Wan and Yue Ning glanced at each other, knowing that they had talked a lot, and they probably also understood that the current situation is getting worse.
Princess Taichang waved to Qin Wan, Qin Wan walked over, Princess Taichang took Qin Wan's hand and said, "Good boy, the queen mother is not in good health, you need to take care of her."
Qin Wan immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best."
The Queen Mother looked at Qin Wan with a smile and said, "Don't tell her that, she has done her best enough. I am old and my body is failing. No matter how powerful Guan'er is, I can't make a dead tree bloom again. Guan'er, you Don't put too much pressure on it, just watch it and it will be fine!"
Qin Wan said helplessly, "Empress Dowager, you can't have such thoughts! You need to see a doctor properly."
The queen mother smiled and said nothing more, "Okay, listen to you."
The Taichang princess sighed, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about the affairs of the previous dynasty. At our age, we can't care about the affairs of the younger generation. Let them judge by themselves. Let's take good care of ourselves and live for two more years. I also want to watch Ning'er get married and Jia'er get married, hey."
Yue Jia was going to get married last year, but she didn't expect the incident of Song Rou. Fortunately, Yue Ning and Yan Ze are a couple!
The queen mother nodded when she heard this, and looked at the little ones in front of her kindly, "That's right, nothing can compare to living two years longer."
Princess Taichang looked at Qin Wan and said, "Let's not talk about anything else, Guan'er is going to get married soon, we first sent Guan'er to get married in a lively manner, and then sent them out one by one. It's not too young, it's time to make a marriage."
Yan Li was talking to Yan Sui, and when he heard this, he immediately smiled wryly, "Grandmother, the marriage must be decided, you have to help me take a good look at it then."
Upon hearing this, the Taichang Princess and the Queen Mother both laughed. If Yan Li was very repulsive, the Taichang Princess might take the opportunity to teach him a few words, but who would have thought that he would follow everyone's words and agree, Taichang Princess On the contrary, it is not easy to say much.
Yan Li blinked earnestly and said, "What I said is true, when the time comes, Grandmother and Great-Aunt will choose a pleasing princess for me!"
Princess Taichang was somewhat relieved, and went to see the queen mother again, "Sister-in-law, did you hear that?"
The queen mother nodded, but her expression was a little tired, "I heard it, I heard it..."
Everyone stayed with the Queen Mother for a while, seeing that the Queen Mother was in poor spirits, they left the palace just now, the Taichang Princess took Qin Wan out of the palace together, Qin Wan thought that he hadn't been to Anyang Hou's Mansion for many days, so he went with a few people to the Hou's Mansion, Qin Wan and Yue Ning rode in the same carriage, so they had to ask about Yan Ze's condition.
Yue Ning said, "Recently, the third brother is doing well, but he still can't see it. Hey, Uncle Prince Yi's leg injury recurred. Dr. Sun tried many methods, but he couldn't bear the weather getting colder every day. Hey …”
Qin Wan frowned, "Find some time, I'll go show it to Prince Yi, acupuncture may heal sooner."
Yue Ning was overjoyed, "Why do you need to find time? Let's go later, and you can show the third brother?"
Qin Wan smiled and nodded, "Of course that's good."
After discussing in this way, the carriage went to the Anyang Marquis's Mansion first. Qin Wan invited Ann to the Jiang family, and stayed with Princess Taichang for a while, and then Qin Wan and Yue Ning went to Prince Yi's Mansion together. The distance is very close, and it takes only a stick of incense to arrive, but when they reach the gate of the mansion, the porter says that Yan Ze has gone out.
Qin Wan was startled, but Yue Ning didn't expect, "Who accompanied third brother out?"
The concierge invited the two into the mansion and said, "Tanxiang accompanied His Royal Highness to go out, the two princesses don't worry."
The weather was extremely cold and the wind was biting. Qin Wan and Yue Ning went to the flower hall to sit down as usual. The servants did not dare to wait, but no one knew where Yan Ze had gone. Qin Wan and Yue Ning waited for a while, then Qin Wan said, "Why don't you show it to Prince Yi? Anyway, you're waiting."
Qin Wan wanted to see Yan Chi, so naturally he didn't want to wait and waste time.
Yue Ning nodded, "Alright..."
After speaking, he called the servant and asked him to report to Prince Yi.
Both Qin Guan and Yue Ning are frequent visitors to Prince Yi's mansion, and Yue Ning is the future concubine of Prince Yi. The servants in the family have already regarded Yue Ning as half master. After a long time, the boy came back and said, "The prince is in the study, the two princesses please..."
Prince Yi has a leisurely nature. Although Qin Wan and Yue Ning came here often, they rarely saw Prince Yi. Now that Prince Yi learned that Qin Wan wanted to treat his illness, he was naturally very happy. After a while, Qin Wan and the two arrived. Seeing the two little girls coming together, Prince Yi smiled kindly, "It's fine for Ze'er to trouble Yongci, but now I want to trouble you too, I'm really sorry, Ning'er is not an outsider, but I have to thank Yongci very much. "
Prince Yi called Qin Wan's title with a very friendly tone, and the words that Yue Ning was not an outsider made Yue Ning's cheeks blush slightly.
Qin Wan hurriedly said, "No trouble, no trouble. Yue Ning mentioned the prince's injury a few times, and the empress dowager was also very concerned about it. Doctor Sun also mentioned it earlier, saying that acupuncture and moxibustion might be better. Said that if the prince's injury does not improve, I will come to give the prince an injection."
The smile on Prince Yi's face became more gentle when he heard the words, he ordered someone to serve some snacks, and specially took out scented tea found in Lingnan to cook for Qin Wan and Yue Ning, he was quite a fairy Qin Wan and Yue Ning were very at ease, and after talking for a while, Qin Wan asked Prince Yi for pulse, and asked about his condition, Prince Yi said, " It has been an old disease for many years, and it is a little unbearable in winter, but it is okay after winter. In the past few years, I have found a few good doctors outside, but it seems that this injury cannot be cured... "
Qin Wan nodded, "Yes, the lord was injured on the soft tendon between the bones of the knee, and that place could not be recovered after the injury. The imperial doctor who treated the lord was also a little negligent."
Prince Yi said, "Emperor doctors are not as good as your medical skills. They have to think twice before and after when they see a doctor, so they are unreliable."
Yue Ning and Qin Wan laughed. Qin Wan had brought a needle, so he ordered someone to fetch the boiled spirits, and asked Prince Yi to roll up his trousers and lie on the recliner, and then began to give the needle. The process of giving the needle was a little bit Long, Yue Ning was by his side, looking out of the window from time to time, Prince Yi was careful, and said, "Ze'er went out, maybe to pay homage to his mother, her mother's death day just passed, he wanted to give Her mother ordered forty-nine more long-burning lamps."
Yue Ning was a little embarrassed, but Prince Yi was very teasing, "Ze'er is not a talkative kid, it's hard for you to get along with him."
Although Yan Ze is as gentle as jade, she is indeed not a coquettish person, and Yue Ning is not a woman who needs to be pampered.
Yue Ning said with a smile, "Third Brother is the best at taking care of people."
After two sticks of incense, Qin Wan finished injecting the needle. After pulling out the needle, Prince Yi touched his knee, and said in surprise, "It's really much better, the pain is relieved, and it's not so cold anymore. See What Dr. Lai Sun said is true."
Yue Ning immediately asked, "What did Miracle Doctor Sun say?"
Sun Muqing was originally a direct disciple of Yaowanggu, so he must have praised Prince Qin Wanyi to say that!
Yue Ning and You Rongyan asked very excitedly, but just as they finished speaking, a gentle voice came from the direction of the door, "Miraculous doctor Sun said that Princess Yongci's medical skills are superb, especially his acupuncture and moxibustion skills. Junior and sister are very similar!"
As soon as the voice sounded, everyone knew that Yan Ze had returned. Qin Wan and Yue Ning turned around at the same time, and they saw Yan Ze.
However, when Yan Ze uttered the last sentence, the smile on Qin Wan's face froze slightly.
Today's Yan Ze didn't wear a medical scarf on his eyes, his eyes were clear, but his eyes were still blank, and his gaze also fell on the direction behind Qin Wan.
After Qin Wan's smile froze for a while, she calmed down very quickly. Even if Yan Ze was invisible now, she was unwilling to show her flaws.
Yue Ning said, "Junior sister? The junior sister of Miracle Doctor Sun?"
Yue Ning rolled her eyes, "I seem to have heard him mention that she is the daughter of the former minister of Dali Temple, Shen Yi?"
What Yue Ning knew was not clear. When she asked, Yan Ze nodded. Seeing him standing alone at the door, Yue Ning stepped forward to hold him by the hand. A few days ago, I mentioned that I was going to light the eternal lamp for the princess, and I also said that I would go with you."
Yan Ze smiled, "The weather is bad, it's inconvenient for you to go out."
Saying that, Yan Ze said again, "Father, the ever-burning lamp is ready."
Prince Yi nodded and said "Yes", but Yue Ning thought of what happened ten years ago. Ten years ago, it was a snowy day when she and Yan Ze went out to go out. A little jealous and apologetic...
"Today Yongci came here specially to treat my leg, and she really got better after the acupuncture."
Prince Yi said with a smile, and Yanze also laughed when he heard the words, "The princess's medical skills are as good as the disciples of Yaowanggu."
Prince Yi also said, "That's exactly the case. What's rare is that the princess was taught by the second master of the Qin family, and he only worked for a few years. can become everyone in the world.”
Qin Wan didn't speak for a long while, and upon hearing this, she could only say, "I'll tell you the truth, my lord, that's exactly what I intend to do. If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely go."
Prince Yi waited for a while, then straightened his clothes and got up and ordered someone to prepare dinner. It was not early at this moment, and Prince Yi planned to stay with Qin Wan for dinner. Qin Wan thought of seeing Yan Chi and had to decline, "I will tell you my lord, uncle and the two Cousin entered the palace yesterday and never came out, today I have to go back to the Marquis's Mansion early, I won't stay for dinner, I will show His Royal Highness the eye disease, and I will go back later."
The common people don't know about the things in the palace, but it's impossible for everyone in the royal family not to know.
Prince Yi's smile faded, and he sighed, "That's fine, I won't keep you any longer, you can rest assured about your uncle's affairs for now."
Qin Wan knew what Prince Yi meant, and felt relieved, Yan Ze invited Qin Wan and Yue Ning to the flower hall. After taking his pulse, Qin Wan said, "His Royal Highness's pulse condition is not abnormal, and the meridians around the eyes have also been relieved a lot. No need for more needles."
Yan Ze smiled and said, "That's a chance, I'll wait for that day."
Qin Wan looked into Yan Ze's eyes, hesitant to speak, but he didn't say much. After Yan Ze finished speaking, he coughed slightly, and Yue Ning immediately said, "What's wrong with the third brother? It's so cold today , your clothes are too thin!"
Yan Ze went out. He wore a thin white shirt with wide sleeves and a cloak on the outside. His complexion was already fair. In such a snowy day, his whole body looked a bit icy. It makes people feel cold just looking at it, Qin Wan looked Yanze up and down for a moment, and then asked, "Which Buddhist temple is your Highness going to today?"
Yan Ze smiled slightly, "The Fahua Temple outside the city."
Qin Wan sighed, "It's quite far there. Although His Highness is a man, he must be careful. If he catches the wind and cold, it will not be good for eye diseases."
Yue Ning also said, "That's right, third brother, your hands are icy."
Yan Ze laughed helplessly, "I know, I know, isn't this back?"
Qin Wan thought for a while and said, "I don't know if it is difficult to enshrine the ever-burning lanterns in Fahua Temple? I also want to offer some to my parents."
Yan Ze said softly, "It's not difficult. Buddhist temples are the same everywhere. Just donate more sesame oil. The abbot of Fahua Temple and my father have some old friends. If you want to make offerings, just take the post from our palace." That's it."
Qin Wan smiled, "His Royal Highness, has the scriptures been offered?"
Yan Ze nodded, "Of course I need it. I had to do a few rituals, but I did it a few days ago, and I didn't do it again. I enshrined the ever-burning lantern, and then offered a few volumes of scriptures. Just a few instruments will do the trick.”
Yue Ning heard the words and said, "Third Brother, if you go to worship next time, you can take me with you."
Yan Ze smiled and nodded, Qin Wan bid farewell upon seeing this.
After leaving Prince Yi's mansion, it was already dusk, Qin Wan ordered the carriage to go straight to Prince Rui's mansion and began to meditate.
Why do people who go to Buddhist temples have no scent of incense on them
Seventy-seven forty-nine long-burning lamps, but no joss sticks, the smell of pine oil alone is not small, and the cloak on Yanze's body still has a bit of frost and moisture, so it has not been changed. If so, why not How about a little taste
Qin Wan rubbed the center of his brows, Yan Ze was very well behaved, why did he lie? What's more, he lied more than this one.
Thinking of Yue Ning, Qin Wan's frown became tighter. This capital city is more complicated than she imagined. People here can never guess from appearances. The leisurely Prince Yi and Yan Ze play roles in it What role
When the carriage arrived at Prince Rui's Mansion, Yan Chi had just returned to the mansion. When Qin Wan entered the mansion, Yan Chi was seeing two hidden clues. When he learned that Qin Wan was coming, Yan Chi immediately waved the two of them back to welcome Qin Wan. Qin Wan was stunned. After thinking about it all the way, seeing Yan Chi just calmed down.
When the two entered the water pavilion, Qin Wan hurriedly asked, "Do you know the ins and outs?"
Yan Chi nodded, and said in a deep voice, "The Kunning Palace caught fire first, and then the East Palace also caught fire. People on both sides were in chaos. It is impossible for the guards to set fire to the entire palace. When the guards were in chaos, the empress and the crown prince got the first chance. Before that, the two had passed the news, but they didn't know the channel. After the incident, the two imperial guards in the direction of Xihua Gate went wrong. , a Xiaoqi captain gave the wrong token, and the queen left the palace in this gap, and the Xiaoqi captain had committed suicide."
Qin Wan's heart trembled. People had already died, but how many people in Kunning Palace and East Palace would die because of last night's incident
"Zhongyonghou and your third and fourth brothers entered the palace, and they were temporarily placed under house arrest in the dark room behind the Chongzheng Hall. The emperor has not seen them yet, so he should just temporarily control them to see if Qin Chaoyu colluded with them in advance. The emperor does not No one needs to be interrogated, and he doesn't trust anyone."
Qin Wan recalled the scene he saw when he was walking on the market just now. There were obviously more and more people in the patrol battalion. Because of the snow that had just fallen, there were not many people on the street, but there was still a special feeling. The chill atmosphere spread in the city, and Qin Wan asked again, "Is there any news about the Queen's whereabouts?"
Yan Chi shook his head, "The empress may have been prepared for a long time. Once she leaves the palace gate, she will disappear like a mud cow into the sea without a trace."
Of course the queen is prepared, if not prepared, how dare she take this step with the prince? ! The Shen family back then was the best example.
Qin Wan sighed, "The empress dowager is not in good health. After what happened last night, she vomited blood. Yue Ning also said that the emperor issued secret orders to send her to the north, and asked her adoptive father to take the Jinzhou garrison north. I Guess it is to prevent accidents in the north."
Yan Chi nodded, "That's right, the emperor probably didn't expect the empress to take such a step, so he had to let the Jinzhou garrison go north."
Jinzhou is in the south of the Great Zhou Dynasty, northwest of the two lakes. It is not an important place for defense, but it is a well-prepared arrangement to be able to go to the northwest to control the minority tribes west of Shu, and to go to the South China Sea to reinforce the navy. In the past ten years, Jinzhou The garrison has participated in three battles with minority tribes, and reinforced the South China Sea navy twice, each of which is very important. Regardless of whether it is the Japanese pirates in the South China Sea or the minority tribes in the northwest, they have been eager to move over the years, and Jinzhou is flat and prosperous. The fertile mountains and forests outside the city are good places to train troops. Although the Jinzhou garrison is not a front-line combat army, they dare not relax at all times. Now, the emperor is going to move the army north!
Everyone is well aware of the emperor's fear. If the situation really develops to that point, the whole Zhou Dynasty will be in turmoil.
Qin Wan was deeply worried, but Yan Chi obviously had a different opinion from her. Yan Chi's eyes sparkled when he mentioned the news, like a leopard that was about to move and found a prey that could be hunted. Qin Wan quickly reacted. With a surprise move, the emperor was distracted, and Shuoxi could solve the problem.
"So what is the emperor going to do now? He should know that the queen has seen his secret!"
Speaking of this matter, Qin Wan still felt a little dazed in his heart, but Yan Chi had calmly accepted the reality.
He shook Qin Wan's hand and said, "The emperor will not let the queen and the prince leave the capital anyway. First, the queen knows his secret. Second, once the queen and the prince are in the Beifu army, the Beifu army will become famous." Well, for an army, it is very important to have an orthodox king as its leader. Although the crown prince is a little immature, the queen is very far-sighted. With her and old general Zhao around, the Beifu army has a lot to do."
Yan Chi's words were full of blood, he was obviously used to it, and such inferences could even arouse the blood in his bones. Qin Wan was a person who had never seen a battlefield, but when she saw Yan Chi's eyes sparkle, her whole body became agitated, and she felt a bit of heroic interest in her heart. Yan Chi seemed to be born for the battlefield, and No matter how complicated and dangerous the future situation is, there is such an upright person by her side!
In fact, the more dangerous the situation is, the more suitable it is for Yan Chi. If a war is imminent, Yan Chi will be able to win in chaos!
Qin Wan used to be with the dead and decaying bones, and never knew what fear was. She thought she was tough enough, but she never expected that in this situation, she knew that she would meet someone who had never imagined that she would be with her. In the world she had stepped into, she would still be instinctively frightened. Only at this moment did she understand Yan Chi's strength.
Compared to Yan Chi who had been tempered by the flames of war, she still looked too delicate.
Qin Wan held Yan Chi's hand instead, "Then what shall we do?"
There was still fear in Qin Wan's eyes last night, just now Qin Wan's eyes were full of heavy worry, but at this moment, Qin Wan's eyes were full of trust and dependence, she was radiant, and her uneasiness and fear seemed to be allayed by this trust , Yan Chi's heart softened, and he hugged Qin Wan into his arms, "We... just watch from the sidelines and wait for the wedding day to pass. Before that, the queen will naturally confront the emperor."
It was icy and snowy outside, and the wind was as cold as a blade, but inside the water pavilion was warm as spring. Qin Wan leaned softly in front of Yan Chi, with anticipation flashing in his eyes.
"It's still half a month..."
Qin Wan had never longed for her marriage before, even if she was designated as Concubine Yong that day, she just felt confused and anxious. Marrying into the royal family is not a good thing, especially her family does not need her to make sacrifices for it. Later, when an accident happened, she even lost this thought, but now, under the wind, frost and sword, she felt a bit of longing in her heart, that Yan Chi would treat her as before without having to perform the wedding ceremony, but after that day... It must be different.
"Yes, it's still half a month away." Yan Chi lowered his head and pecked Qin Wan's cheek, "The Queen's attack was timely."
Qin Wan couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words, if there was no queen, Shuoxi would still be the most important thing on the emperor's mind.
"The capital city is not big, and it is not small. Where will the queen be?"
Yan Chi narrowed his eyes when he heard the words, "The queen has long been prepared, so she shouldn't be unable to leave. I just hope everything goes well for her."
Before Qin Wan could speak, Yan Chi's expression turned serious, "Because if she can't leave the capital, I'm afraid she will throw us out."
Qin Wan raised her eyebrows, Yan said slowly, "She told us to find Aunt Qian..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan's heart immediately sank! Yes, it was Aunt Qian who the queen asked them to find!
Aunt Qian's words were ambiguous. At that time, they did not dare to guess that the emperor was not the real Prince Luo, but at that time, they already knew that the emperor had something to do with the death of Concubine Jin, so as long as they searched along this line, they would naturally find Concubine Jin. The real reason for being murdered, and no matter whether they have found out the real secret, as long as the emperor knows that they are suspicious, he will probably not keep them...
The queen's matter temporarily solved Shuoxi's dilemma, but if the queen herself encountered difficulties, how could she forget Yan Chi and Qin Wan
When Qin Wan went to see Aunt Qian, she was afraid that she would be used. Now it seems that whether to use them or not is entirely up to the queen.
Qin Wan respected the queen a little, but this kind of respect made Qin Wan feel apprehensive...
Because she understands that the Queen has been able to endure for so many years, and at this moment, nothing can stop her from going north. At the critical moment, what if she pulls two stepping stones
Qin Wan was preoccupied by the incidents that happened one after another in the past two days, and he couldn't figure out the most dangerous stake in it.
At this moment when Yan Chi reminded them, Qin Wan realized that they were far from the time when they could sit back and relax.
Yan Chi stroked Qin Guan's frowning brows, "Don't worry, the queen won't throw these out now, because for her, it's not the last step yet."
Qin Wan looked at Yan Chi, and Yan Chi continued, "The Queen is a very proud and stubborn person in her bones. She has endured it for so many years. There are many reasons. Maybe she will never tell the truth to the world. She is the Queen and belongs to Prince Luo. The princess is also Yan Che's mother, she has to defend many things, including the dignity of the royal family."
But if the queen reveals Qin Wan and Yan Chi, things will become even more uncontrollable, and if the world knows about this earth-shattering scandal of the royal family, how should they feel? Not to mention ordinary people, even Qin Wan felt that this incident was ridiculous but extremely horrifying! And who can explain clearly the human relations, taboos, good, evil, love and hatred? When the secrets of the royal family are spread in stories, how can the majesty of the royal family block the mouths of people all over the world
What's more, there is Yan Zhen who married far away from the Northern Wei Dynasty...
In front of Yan Chi, Qin Wan didn't hide his confusion, "After the accident in Fenglei Ridge, how did the emperor hide his identity?"
Yan Chi narrowed his eyes, "I was also thinking about it last night, but I don't think it's strange when I think of what happened back then. I heard that when the emperor was rescued at that time, his body was seriously injured, because his face was burnt and his face was burnt. It's hard to distinguish, but there is a sword of Prince Luo beside him. The people who went to search and rescue rescued him with this sword. Afterwards, the emperor has been in a coma, and it has been half a month since he woke up to save his life. At that time, he had already returned to the capital, Prince Gong was defeated, and all of Fu's lineage was killed, after he woke up, he probably didn't expect that things would develop to this point."
Yan Han, who was seriously injured, woke up and couldn't speak. How should he choose when he found out the fact that he was mistaken
Correct your identity and die? Or should we go along with the flow and save our lives first
No one is not afraid of death, especially at the time of victory and defeat, for the sake of that position, the person who can seek rebellion can naturally give up his name and surname temporarily for the sake of that position, but he probably never thought that this is an endless road , and once a person stays with a mask for a long time, is there still time to take it off again
