Early in the morning of the second day, a carriage stopped outside the side door of the Hou's mansion. The concierge opened the door and took a look. He was surprised to find that Miss Tang Qin Shuang had returned.
When the people in Hou's mansion were panicking, the gatekeeper's heart warmed when he saw Qin Shuang, and he hurriedly welcomed Qin Shuang in respectfully.
Qin Wan was planning to enter the palace when he got the news, and hurried to the front yard when he heard that Qin Shuang had returned.
In the front yard, Mrs. Hu was sitting with Qin Shuang with a haggard look. When she saw Qin Wan coming, Mrs. Hu got up and said, "You two sisters, talk to each other."
Hu's eyes were black and blue, and he knew that he hadn't had a good rest last night, so Qin Wan and Qin Shuang nodded quickly.
After Mrs. Hu left, Qin Shuang stepped forward and grabbed Qin Wan's hand, "Let's go, let's talk in your yard."
There were a lot of things going on during this time, Qin Shuang hadn't returned to the Marquis Mansion for a long time, Qin Wan didn't expect her to come back today, "Why are you back today?"
As the two walked, Qin Shuang looked around. Seeing that the servants in the mansion had lost all their former vigor, he sighed softly, "Isn't this the news that something may have happened to the Hou's mansion? A while ago I accompanied my mother-in-law out of the city for a period of time, and only came back a few days ago. When Qingshan came back yesterday, he told me that the situation in the Hou Mansion was not right, and that the fourth brother did not go to the patrol camp. Worry."
Compared to Hu's haggardness, Qin Shuang's complexion is rosy now, and she seems to be slightly fatter than when she was married, and she is more delicate and beautiful. Although she is wearing plain clothes today, she still looks like a It is like a blooming April crabapple, which shows that the time spent in Xue's mansion is extremely pleasant.
Xue Qingshan was promoted in the patrol battalion two months ago, not to mention that the main patrol force in the capital is the patrol battalion, Xue Qingshan can naturally know some other news.
Qin Wan sighed after hearing the words, "It's a bit bad, but it's not good to tell you in detail, you can just come back and have a look."
Qin Shuang was still skeptical at first, but when she heard Qin Wan's words, she immediately realized that Xue Qingshan's words were true, and she immediately became a little nervous.
The two entered the Songfengyuan, Fuling and the others rushed to greet Qin Shuang when she came back. Qin Shuang and everyone laughed and went into the Nuan Pavilion with Qin Wan, "What's going on? Why can't I go into details?" ?”
Qin Wan sighed, the empress and prince leaving the palace is a major event, if you tell Qin Shuang it will make her frightened, so Qin Wan could only comfort her, "Anyway, it's a matter of the court, the capital is not peaceful these days, you just have to know what's going on in your heart." .”
Qin Shuang tasted it, and then rolled her eyes, "But your wedding day will be ten days away, so it shouldn't affect you at all."
Qin Wan nodded, "I don't think so."
Qin Shuang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "Okay, okay, I don't understand the important affairs of the court, but your wedding is the biggest thing right now, time flies, and you will get married in a blink of an eye, wait You married Prince Rui's Mansion, so I will often go to Prince Rui's Mansion to look for you!"
After thinking about it, Qin Shuang's face changed slightly, "Forget it, His Royal Highness Prince Rui is too scary."
Qin Wan smiled and sized her up for a moment, "I see you look very good, have you been taking a lot of tonic recently?"
As soon as Qin Shuang said this, Qin Shuang couldn't help sighing, "It's all my mother-in-law, who said that I have been married for half a year, and my stomach still hasn't moved, and said that I am too thin..." At this point, Qin Shuang stuck out her tongue, "Also I don't know what she thinks, but I went out of the city a few days ago to pray for a son..."
Qin Wan frowned, "Why did you go to Shangxiang to ask for a child? It's only half a year, can they make things difficult for you?"
Qin Shuang quickly waved his hands, "That's not what I meant. I didn't think I would be able to give birth so I went to ask for a child. I wanted to ask for a smooth and safe life. They didn't make things difficult for me. His father and mother are very sincere people and never put on airs. His mother also loves me very much, she will not want it in the morning and evening, I just live my little life with Qingshan."
Qin Wan was relieved, "That's good, you don't have to worry about the child."
Qin Wan is a little fairy doctor in the capital. If she asked, Qin Shuang wouldn't believe it. She blushed and said, "I'm not in a hurry. I don't want to have a baby right now. It's the old man. You understand..." Eyeball Turning around, Qin Shuang said, "There is something wrong in the Hou Mansion, what about Eighth Sister?"
Qin Chaoyu is the concubine of the crown prince, but in theory, she has a higher status than Qin Wan. With the crown prince and Qin Chaoyu around, what will happen to the Hou Mansion
Qin Wan smiled wryly, and did not dare to say that it was Qin Chaoyu who caused the accident in the Hou's mansion this time. She only said, "Her status is embarrassing. This time, it is mainly the empress and the prince."
Qin Shuang clicked his tongue. Although the Zhongyonghou Mansion is also a noble family, the royal family is still too far away from Qin Shuang. After saying this, Qin Shuang stopped asking, and asked about Qin Wan's wedding preparations, saying Then he and Qin Wan went to see the dowry prepared for her, and after some counting, they were satisfied. Knowing that Qin Wan was going to the palace to see the queen mother, Qin Shuang didn't stay any longer, and left before noon...
Qin Shu didn't see anyone all day, only Mrs. Hu came out to give him a few steps. When he learned that Qin Wan was going to enter the palace, Mrs. Hu hesitated to speak, but he didn't say much.
Now Qin Chaoyu has nothing to count on, and there is only Qin Wan. If Qin Wan really becomes the only person in the world who can save the Queen Mother's life, then the Hou Mansion will also suffer.
Qin Wan knew that Qin Shu and the Hu family had been hit hard this time, so she left the Hou's mansion and went to the palace without saying anything.
As soon as the carriage drove out of the main street in front of the Hou's Mansion, Qin Wan saw two patrol battalion soldiers passing by on horseback. Although the sky was sunny today, the accumulated snow had not yet melted. The soldiers of the patrol battalion were on horseback Galloping past, the horse's hoof splashed mud, water and snow all the way. Qin Wan lifted the curtains of the car to look out, only to see the two teams of people and horses quickly disappearing at the corner of the street. Putting down the curtains, Qin Wan frowned.
It is not easy for the empress to leave the palace, and the emperor reacts very quickly. The current city gates are strictly guarded. The empress, prince, and Qin Chaoyu have countless guards, so how could they not be aware of the situation in the patrol camp? next to leave? What is the Queen's plan
There are three of them, and the longer they stay in the capital, the more disadvantageous they will be.
When the carriage reached the gate of the palace, Qin Wan entered the palace and went straight to Shoukang Palace.
As soon as he entered the Shoukang Palace, Qin Wan heard the discussions of several young maids.
"How can Changxin Palace be haunted if it's so good?"
"Who knows? Otherwise, how could the imperial concubine be bewitched? All the sorcerers from Qin Tianjian have gone."
"Don't talk nonsense, the empress dowager is the most taboo..."
Although it was only a few short words, Qin Wan's heart skipped a beat when he heard it, it was so good, how could the imperial concubine be bewitched? !
Qin Wan doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but the relationship between her and Feng Lingsu is too far away, and this thought just slipped from the bottom of her heart.
When we arrived at the main hall, the queen mother leaned on the bed and took a nap with her eyes slightly closed. The mother Chen at the door greeted Qin Wan and sighed, "The queen mother has been like this for the past two days, either looking out of the window in a daze, or casually Fell asleep, the queen mother suddenly fell asleep last night, and it scared me."
In the past, the queen mother was in good spirits after a serious illness, and she was able to go to the Weishan hunting ground with a large team for spring hunting, but now, the queen mother is really like a dim lamp that is about to burn out the lamp oil, and has lost her former spirit and energy. Qin Wan frowned, "In that case, don't wake up the Empress Dowager, where is His Highness the Ninth Prince?"
While talking, Su Nanny brought Yan Sui over. Yan Sui saw that Qin Wan's expression brightened slightly, and Su Nanny smiled, "Your Highness has always wanted to play in the snow, but it's so cold here. But it's really winter, and the servants took a long time to persuade His Highness."
Yan Sui pursed her lips, seemingly aggrieved, but looked at Qin Wan expectantly with her eyes, Qin Wan understood, and smiled, "You really have to pay attention..."
Having said that, the light in Yan Sui's eyes dimmed by two points, obviously disappointed.
Qin Wan said again, "The Empress Dowager is still asleep, let me play with His Highness for a while."
Naturally, both Su Momo and Chen Momo would not object, on the contrary, as long as Yan Sui and Qin Wan were together, they would feel at ease.
Qin Wan waved away the others, and took Yan Sui to the side yard. The side yard was originally used for recreation, but now that winter is coming, naturally few people come. The snow in the flower garden covered the flowers and trees underneath, thick and thick It looked like a piece of white sugar cake. Qin Wan took out a chestnut candy wrapped in oil paper from his sleeve pocket and gave it to Yan Sui, then pointed to the snowdrift not far away, "Don't get your clothes wet, if Madam Su If you find out, I will be blamed."
Yan Sui was already overjoyed when he got the candy, but now hearing what Qin Wan said, his eyes were even brighter.
It turned out that what Qin Wan said just now was just to bring him here to play in the snow now!
Yan Sui put the chestnut candy into his mouth in one gulp, his cheeks bulged like a little squirrel, Qin Wan laughed straight at the sight, but Yan Sui had already gone to the edge of the flowerbed to play in the snow, Qin Wan saw Yan Sui general Xueyuan was together and wanted to pinch a villain, his hands were a little red from the cold, but his face was full of childish excitement, Qin Wan's eyes showed a bit of tenderness, Yan Sui played so carefree How long is the time left
Soon Yan Sui pinched a chubby little figure out, he held the little snowman in both hands and ran to Qin Wan, "Does it look good?"
Qin Wan smiled and nodded, "Very nice, just like you."
Yan Sui held his lips, and saw the maidservant not far away. After thinking for a while, he turned around and put the little snowman in the corner, then patted the snow foam on his sleeve and walked towards Qin Wan , Qin Wan asked in surprise, "What's the matter? Stop playing?"
Yan Sui let out a "hmm", "Just play for a while."
Qin Wan felt very uncomfortable in his heart, Yan Sui was also the pride of heaven, but he was already so sensible at such a young age.
Qin Wan took Yan Sui's hand to help him warm, and led him to the veranda not far away, Yan Sui said as he walked, "They said that the imperial concubine is bewitched."
Yan Sui's voice was very low, Qin Wan turned to look at Yan Sui, and Yan Sui said again, "They said that Changxin Palace is haunted... They also said that the ghost of my mother and concubine came back... and said that my mother and concubine went to find the noble concubine..."
Qin Wan squatted down and touched Yan Sui's head, "Who said these words?"
Yan Sui lowered his eyes, unwilling to answer this question, obviously he heard the gossiping of the palace people below.
Qin Wan's heart softened, "These are all nonsense, don't believe them."
Yan Sui raised his head and looked straight at Qin Wan, "My concubine mother wasn't killed by the noble concubine, right?" After a pause, Yan Sui continued, "You already know who killed my concubine mother, right? "
