Chapter Thirty-Nine: Dreaming of Youthfulness in the Middle of the Night

The procession from the hunting ground back to the palace walked very slowly, and the road that could have been reached in a day and a half seemed to be good in three days.

Qin Mei's injured places were all medicated, and he frowned with the medicine bowl handed over by Ning Xiang.

"Good girl, drink it quickly!" Ning Xiang coaxed Qin Mei to take medicine like a child on the side.

"Oh, ah, incense...... I'm thinking, why am I so unlucky? After coming to Qi Kingdom, it seems that this medicine has not been cut off much....... Looking at the black medicine reflecting her own shadow, Qin Mei was a little helpless.

"Girl, Grandpa Guo is here. Begonia reported outside the door.

Hey, it's so late, why did Grandpa Guo come?

Gonggong Guo galloped forward along the way to the hunting grounds, and he wanted to rush to the side of King Qi (身shēn) as fast as he could, to see what was going on. Hurry up and change Gonggong Feng back and let him report to the Queen Mother.

After seeing King Qi, he explained the instructions of the Queen Mother, and after hesitation, he still told the Queen Mother and Murong Linshuang about going to the Queen Mother to complain (情qíng).

Even if he doesn't say it now, King Qi will still know after returning to the palace. Instead of this, it is better to give King Qi a preventive shot and let him have an idea in his heart.

King Qi pondered for a long time, gave a few words to Gonggong Feng, and then asked him to take a small team of men and horses and set off overnight.

After Gonggong Feng left, King Qi carefully asked Gonggong Guo about the (qingqíng) scene at that time, and asked Gonggong Feng to see Qinmei. Calculating the time, Qin Mei should have just taken the medicine and hadn't slept yet.

King Qi's plan, Gonggong Guo understood very well, King Qi asked him to tell Qin Mei about this (情qíng) and let him be prepared. However, even if King Qi didn't say it, Gonggong Guo would go to Qin Mei to remind her. He couldn't bear it, such a good girl......

As far as the current evidence goes, is it possible that Qin Mei was an assassin? Yes! If what Madame Xi said was true, Qin Mei was indeed a real assassin.

It's just that...... Guo Gonggong couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe it. How could such a good girl be an assassin?

How can you tell Qinmei that you can't say it too bluntly, so let's be tactful, but if you play it around, what if Qinmei doesn't understand what she wants to say...... On the way here, Guo Gonggong has been thinking about this problem.

"Grandpa Guo, why are you here? Sit down and rest. Qin Mei saw that Guo Gonggong's face was tired, and when he asked, Guo Gonggong hadn't eaten dinner yet, so he hurriedly asked Haitang and Ning Xiang to prepare food for Guo Gonggong.

"Father-in-law takes a sip of tea first. Qin Mei picked up the teapot lying on the small red clay stove, poured hot water into the tea bowl with two pieces of ginseng, and gently pushed it in front of Guo Gonggong.

Seeing the current scene, Guo Gonggong sighed very emotionally. How could such a girl be an assassin!

"The Queen Mother knew that Her Majesty and the girl were injured, so she didn't worry, so she sent the old slave to take a look. Guo Gonggong picked up the tea bowl and covered his cold fingers.

"How's the girl's injury?" Guo Gonggong asked with concern.

"Father-in-law Guo, tell me about her, she refuses to take medicine when she is injured, like a child!" Yunshang took the opportunity to interject and sue her.

As soon as he sat down, Gonggong Guo saw the bowl of medicine on the table, and he was still wondering if he had delayed Qinmei to take the medicine.

"Father-in-law, don't listen to her nonsense, I'm fine, it's just that they're just nervous!" Qin Mei glared back at Yunshang.

"What's wrong with the girl?" was so gaged by Yunsheng, and he suddenly relaxed, this feeling is really comfortable.

"Ankles, knees, elbows, ......" Yunshang ignored Qin Mei's white eyes, and solemnly wrenched his fingers, counting the location of Qin Mei's injuries to Guo Gonggong.

"Ahh

"Father-in-law can save me, I've been lying down all day!" Qin Mei frowned and pouted and asked Guo's father-in-law for help: "Lying in the carriage, lying down when I arrived at the post station...... The bones are falling apart!"

Qin Mei's expression (情qíng) and tone suddenly reminded Guo Gonggong of the scene when he was a child, when he saw the little sister of the next door chong grandpa (Jiaojiāo).

The little sister was teary-eyed, and her voice (milk nǎi) angrily tugged at the corner of her grandfather's clothes, tilted her head, and complained to her grandfather. Grandpa squatted down with a smile, touched his little sister's head, and said something with a pleasant face...... Then the little sister burst into tears and smiled, happily took her grandfather's finger, and walked together......

Back then, I envied that little sister, who had a grandfather who could sprinkle (Jiaojiāo)...... At this moment, he suddenly envied that grandfather, who had a little sister who could lie to him (娇jiāo)......

Suddenly, I found that my mind was running away, and I had to pull it back quickly, the time was not early, and I had to explain the matter quickly (情qíng) so that Qinmei could take the medicine and rest early.

"Girl, what is the relationship between you and Concubine Rong?" After thinking for a moment, Guo Gong asked openly.

"Concubine Rong?" Qin Mei didn't remember who Concubine Rong was for a while.

"Oh...... She's ...... Not...... How can you say it...... "Murong Linshuang was a little embarrassed. The two have known each other for a long time, but is the relationship...... The relationship can only be hehe.

"So be it. Qin Mei smiled weakly.

"Father-in-law's question, our girl can't answer!" The plain hand who was doing the external dressing for Qinmei on the side raised his head and took the conversation.

"What do you say?" asked Grandpa Guo.

He often comes to Qinmei, and he also knows that these girls (情qíng) are sisters, but he doesn't care about what Qinmei says.

"What do you say? That Concubine Rong, if you don't take the initiative to provoke our girl, we'll be thankful!" Su Shou put down the work in his hand, shook his head and said: "Relationship? I don't know about our girl, anyway, I don't dare to have a relationship with her!"

This topic, Qin Mei is hindered by (身shēn) share, it is indeed difficult to say. She couldn't answer Guo's father-in-law and said, "Ah, Murong Linshuang, that idiot, I hate her so much, I can't wait to see her fight once!" So, at this time, it is the best way to deal with it by helping her out of the siege and taking over the topic.

Guo Gonggong understood that Su Shou entered the palace with Qin Mei, and served by Qin Mei (身 shēn) when he was in the Ming Dynasty, and he obviously knew a lot about the past that they didn't know.

"Why did my father-in-law suddenly mention her?" Qin Mei didn't know whether it was better to use "Murong Linshuang" or "Concubine Rong". Anyway, she can't call the latter, and it's not appropriate to call out the former.

"Oh, she recently contacted that Mrs. Xi of Daming (quite tǐng), and the Queen Mother knew about it...... It's her aunt, Mrs. Xi!" Guo Gonggong tactfully told Qin Mei that the current Queen Mother knew about the connection between Murong Linshuang and Mrs. Xi, and as for what the two of them were blending, then they had to think about it.
