The one hundred and ninety-seventh round

The state banquet finally dispersed in an atmosphere of joy for the guests and hosts. The Tang envoy was sent away by countless people. Li Chengqian and Aya said goodbye, and then took the three attendants to the East Palace.

When Qin Ying got up and left his seat, his steps shook slightly, but fortunately, his consciousness was still there, and he didn't need to be helped. She knew she had tasted a lot of delicious delicacies, but the spicy wine in her throat didn't dampen it.

Li Chengqian turned around and glanced at Qin Ying behind him, frowned, and said, "If you get drunk, why do you have to learn from them to serve cups." He paused and waited for Qin Ying to follow, and then took her hand hidden under his sleeve.

Qin Ying didn't struggle and let him hold it, and said with a smile on his eyebrows: "I didn't drink too much, I just drank a cup at the banquet." Her tone was soft, much more delicate than when she was awake.

The little palace attendants behind him saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not shy away from humility and held the Qin attendant, and they all lowered their faces with their eyes and noses. Doing things in the palace not only has to pretend to be deaf and dumb, but also sometimes has to shield all the five senses.

When Qin Ying prayed for Li Chengqian's medicine every day a month ago, those officials and maids in the East Palace who had unique vision said that the relationship between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Qin's attendants was extraordinary. But both of them behaved very well, and they, outsiders, did not see any real evidence to confirm their suspicions. Today, they caught a little bit of rumors.

The official maid held the lamp in front of them, and the group returned to the East Palace at tea time. Qin Ying was led all the way by him, and Li Chengqian didn't let go until Li Chengqian was at the door of the Lizheng Palace.

Li Chengqian stood on the stone steps of white marble, and looked at Qin Ying with complicated eyes for a while, thinking that she was drinking like this, and it was not safe for her to walk at night. Sending someone to send Qin Ying back to Hanlin Academy, he was not at ease. Let's send her to the original residence of the East Palace.

He called the official maid and palace attendant and said, "You know the usual room of the Qin maid, after sending her back, make a bowl of sobering soup for her." ”

It's rare for the cold-faced iceberg to say so much to people. The officials, maids, and palace attendants all felt that they had drunk too much with Qin Ying.

"Yes." A palace attendant with a more clever face and brain made a salute.

Only then did Li Chengqian turn around and enter the hall, and locked out the few people who wanted to serve him to change his clothes and sleep peacefully. He hates being close to people, and basically does all the chores of life independently, but Qin Ying is a special case within a special case. Maybe it's because Qin Ying is his own doctor, and he unconsciously relies on her.

The official maid and palace attendant held Qin Ying's arm left and right and sent her back to the wing. On the way, a small palace attendant sighed: "Your Highness is really interested in Lord Qin, and His Highness, who is silent, even gave such a detailed instructions just now. ”

"It seems that Lord Qin is on the tip of his heart." Another round-faced palace attendant replied with a smile, "Just look at His Highness's nervous and pitiful look." If Doctor Qin is a lady, she is likely to be accepted as a side concubine by His Royal Highness. ”

Qin Ying listened to their conversation and laughter, shook off the support, and said with a cross-eyebrow: "...... What are you all talking nonsense. ”

They all knew that Qin Ying was drunk, and they were not surprised that Qin Ying, who had always been approachable, acted like this.

"Don't be angry, adults." The official maid in charge of the lamp leaned over and saluted Qin Ying.

Qin Ying blocked the mouths of the officials and maids, and she kept her mouth open. She looked at the bleak night and said, "What's so good about the side concubine, the main concubine, and even the queen?" The same is trapped in this deep palace. Although the status is unspeakably expensive, you can't see the mountains and rivers outside. ”

The officials and maids and palace attendants looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

Normal people are doubted about their gender, shouldn't they immediately dispel that rumor? But Lord Qin said, the concubine position is not good, does it mean that Lord Qin has thought about this matter in private?

They cautiously raised their eyes to look at Qin Ying, only to see that her face was red, like a half-ripe cherry, and her originally heroic eyebrows and eyes became softened under the rendering of this layer of redness.

Such Qin Ying, if it was said that a woman disguised as a man and mixed into the palace, they would also be convinced. However, Qin Ying had already established a prestige in front of them in the past. Where would they dare to put their doubts on their faces.

After settling Qin Ying into the wing room to rest, the round-faced palace attendant pulled his companion's sleeve and said, "You can boil the sobering soup, I will go to the Lizheng Hall to watch the night." ”

The companion nodded and sighed, their work was also quite detailed, one thing after another, without stopping for a moment.

The round-faced little palace attendant walked down the corridor to the Lizheng Hall, and saw Li Chengqian sitting on the steps in a moon-white civilian robe, and was startled, the night breeze in this summer is still a little cold, what should I do if there is a problem with His Royal Highness's golden body.

He entered the hall and hugged a large cloud pattern, put it on His Royal Highness the Prince, and suddenly said in pieces: "Why hasn't Your Highness rested yet?" As soon as he said that, he regretted it. What is his identity, and talking to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also a hot burden of shaving his head.

Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's face turned around and said in a low voice: "The mood is not very good." "Li Chengqian was congested because someone recommended Qin Ying as an envoy.

Although Hou Shangshu's performance was obstructed by the servants, and Aya did not respond to Qin Ying's envoy for a while, he could feel that Hou Junji would not let Qin Ying go lightly. These two are like enemies who don't share the same sky, and they won't stop until they fight to the death.

The little palace attendant listened and said: It's a little strange that Lord Qin drank too much today, and it's strange that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't drink. You must know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always ignored his subordinates, and it is not easy to put on a good face, let alone chat casually.

He slowly exhaled and said, "How is Qin Ying?" ”

"I fell asleep. But when I went back, I said a few drunken words. Seeing the prince looking at him, the little palace attendant's eyes were as cold as ice, and his heart trembled and he told what he had heard.

Li Chengqian was silent, his hand holding the neckline of the big sword gradually clenched, he suddenly got up and said without looking back: "You don't have to be on duty tonight, go and rest." ”

The round-faced palace attendant was stunned, and felt more and more that something was wrong with His Royal Highness the Prince.

Walking as smoothly as possible to the outside of Qin Ying's wing, Li Chengqian pushed the door in, and saw a palace attendant sitting on the edge of Qin Ying's couch, serving a sobering soup and about to let Qin Ying drink it. Ignoring the look on the palace attendant's face, he raised his hand to beckon him out.

Sitting in the seat of the original palace attendant, Li Chengqian looked at Qin Ying and said, "Do you have a secret to hide from me?" ”

Qin Ying was woken up by the palace attendant just now, and she knew who was coming from now on the soft couch. After pretending to sleep for a long time with her eyes closed, she found that her eyes were still burning on herself, so she could only nod and say, "Yes, but the secret just can't be said."

"Qin Ying, in fact, I have been doubting your identity for a long time."

"Your Highness, do you know what you can do, and what you don't know?"
