After Qin Xingyi returned home, she hurriedly rushed back to her bedroom, feeling very tired, she slept until the moontop treetops, jumped out of bed after waking up, and hurried to the guest room.

The lights were lit in the guest room, and the voice of the little flute came out, and he was smiling and asking when Xuanyuan Mingyu would give Xitang to eat?

Qin Xingyi passed by the window, and saw Xu Blacksmith through the crack in the window to dissuade Xiaodi from pestering Xuanyuan Gongzi to mess around, and asked Xuanyuan Mingyu if he wanted to eat something?

The atmosphere in the room was very harmonious, and several people were laughing and laughing. Qin Xingyi liked to see such a scene very much, and felt very warm in her heart, remembering that she should go to see her father-in-law, so she quietly left the bedside and went to Xifeng Tower.

Qin Xingyi hadn't been back to Xifeng Tower for a while, and she felt very kind when she saw that small river along the way, that was where she and Xuanyuan Mingyu first met.

The scenery around the West Wind Tower is still the same, and the gate is still closed. Qin Xingyi leaned over the wall, whistled, and saw the disciple who was patrolling the night coming over to say hello, and asked, "Is the landlord asleep?" ”

The night watchman replied, "Senior sister, you are back, the landlord is not here, and now it is the matter in the second uncle's abbot's building." ”

"Where did my stepfather go?" Qin Xingyi vaguely felt that something was wrong and asked in surprise.

"I don't know, senior sister can ask the second uncle." That disciple's rank in the West Wind Building was relatively low, and many confidential matters were not accessible.

Qin Xingyi nodded in agreement, went directly to the second uncle's room, knocked on the door and entered, and saw the second uncle sitting on the edge of the bed in his clothes, asking about the whereabouts of his father-in-law.

The second uncle twisted his eyebrows and replied: "My niece, the day before yesterday, the owner of the building received a secret letter, and hurriedly found me, explaining that there is something important to do, at most seven or eight days, at least four or five days, and the things in the building will be handed over to me for the time being." ”

"Second uncle, who sent the secret letter?" Qin Xingyi couldn't guess that her father-in-law would leave in a hurry, and she didn't have time to wait for her to come back.

"The messenger covered his head and face mysteriously, but he couldn't escape the eyes of the disciples guarding the door of Xifeng Tower, and recognized it as one of Prime Minister Hu Cheng's subordinates." The second uncle said plainly, because he knew that the owner of the West Wind Mansion had always had a good personal relationship with Prime Minister Hu Cheng, and it was customary for him to help secretly when there was an emergency.

Qin Xingyi heard that it was Prime Minister Hu Cheng who sent someone to send a secret letter, and felt even more strange, thinking that yesterday afternoon he saw Prime Minister Hu Cheng sad for the loss of his son, it turned out to be a superficial phenomenon, could it be that Hu Feng did not die, and Prime Minister Hu asked his father-in-law to help Hu Feng play a golden cicada shell?

The more Qin Xingyi thought about it, the more he felt that Prime Minister Hu Cheng's behavior was suspicious, but it would not be a trivial matter for him to ask his father-in-law to help! If Hu Feng hadn't died, it would be a good thing, at least the clues to track down his father's enemy had not been broken!

"Senior niece, is there anything you need to do in Xifeng Building?"

"No need, thank you Second Uncle, I'll go back to the house first." Qin Xingyi thanked him and left, knowing that the second uncle was just saying kind words, and he didn't have the courage to do earth-shattering things, and it was okay to maintain the situation.

Qin Xingyi was full of suspicions that Dou returned to the Eldest Princess's Mansion and saw that the lights in the guest room had been extinguished, knowing that they were all asleep.

The moonlight faded, and a glimmer of dawn slowly seeped through the clouds. Qin Xingyi didn't want to go back to the room, so she stood silently outside the guest room, her heart was in turmoil, and many doubts couldn't be reasoned out when they were mixed together.

Qin Xingyi stood in the courtyard and analyzed: If Hu Feng is not dead, then Prime Minister Hu Cheng will also be painstaking! He told the old man to return to his hometown with great fanfare, he should hide people's eyes and ears, and he would not take Hu Feng with him! The important thing that the stepfather said was to protect Hu Feng? Where are the two of them hiding?

Qin Xingyi fell into deep thought, and suddenly heard a rooster crowing in the distance, the sky was about to dawn! I only heard the soft sound of the window, the window sash was pushed open from the inside, and a handsome figure of a young man appeared in front of Qin Xingyi's eyes.

Qin Xingyi felt that her heart was beating "suddenly", every time she saw her sweetheart, she always couldn't hold back her excitement, even if she saw him, it was enough to make her happy.

Xuanyuan Mingyu stood in the room, pushed open the window and looked out, and saw Qin Xingyi standing in the courtyard playfully, the thin dawn reflecting her bright eyes looking at herself with affection, and she couldn't help but look stupid.

The two men looked at each other for a moment. Xuanyuan Mingyu leaned against the wall, slowly sat on the window, jumped out of the window sideways, and moved to Qin Xingyi.

Qin Xingyi only felt her heart pounding wildly, watching the morning breeze blow the corner of Xuanyuan Mingyu's clothes, worried about whether he would catch a cold? She wanted to ask with concern, but felt that it was superfluous to say anything at the moment, because Xuanyuan Mingyu had already opened her arms and held her in her arms.

Qin Xingyi was surprised and shy, wondering how Xuanyuan Mingyu was so bold today, openly hugging herself in the courtyard, in case she was seen by others, she would laugh! She took a deep breath and said coquettishly: "Eldest princess, you dare to bully!" ”

Xuanyuan Mingyu hugged Qin Xingyi with one hand, gently stroked her hair with the other, and said with a smile: "How can there be bullying? Hugging your fiancée isn't a wrong thing, right? ”

This sentence came into Qin Xingyi's ears, and she suddenly felt sweet! But the girl's first love was the opposite, and she was unhappy with a straight face, and asked, "Who is your fiancée?" You are a little whore, I won't agree! ”

Xuanyuan Mingyu smiled hard, hugged Qin Xingyi's delicate body, and whispered: "It's fate, you want to marry a little lewd thief!" This is your father's last wish. ”

Qin Xingyi suddenly heard the words of his father's last wish, remembered that he couldn't find the enemy who killed his father, and suddenly became sad, pushed Xuanyuan Mingyu away, and said: "Listen, I can't find a murderer for a day, and I can't marry you for a day!" ”

Xuanyuan Mingyu was pushed by Qin Xingyi, his heel was weak, he fell to the ground, and he couldn't get up.

"You're so decrepit?" Qin Xingyi doesn't want her husband to be a weak straw bale!

"Yes, the patriarch said, I need to recuperate for ten days and half a month to recover." Xuanyuan Mingyu lay on the ground and replied with a raised face.

Qin Xingyi's heart suddenly softened, and she felt very sorry, Xuanyuan Mingyu's injury had not healed, and she was too anxious, so she reached out and pulled him up, and said, "I'm sorry, didn't I hurt you?" ”

"I'm fine...... "Xuanyuan Mingyu coughed loudly. His coughing alarmed the two maids, who came over to listen to the command.

Qin Xingyi didn't squint, and reached out to help Xuanyuan Mingyu beat his back in distress, afraid that he would cough too much and vomit blood, but saw a doorman hurriedly come over and report: "Your Highness, the emperor sent a sedan chair to pick up the eldest princess into the palace, and the sedan chair is already waiting outside the palace." ”

Qin Xingyi knew that the imperial brother was already waiting for him in the imperial study, so he instructed a maid to help Xuanyuan Mingyu into the guest room to rest, and he took another maid back to the bedroom, changed his clothes, and after some careful grooming, he was ready to go out.

Blacksmith Xu stood in the courtyard and waited, saw Qin Xingyi walking out of the room, and asked, "Your Highness, do you need Xu to accompany you?" ”

Qin Xingyi used to enter the palace with four palace guards along the way to protect him, but at this moment, he heard Blacksmith Xu take the initiative to escort him, of course he agreed, thinking that there were many doubts in the emperor, and he should install his own henchmen in the palace, Blacksmith Xu was an upright person with superb martial arts, and he was the most suitable person.

"Lao Xu, after the eldest princess saw the emperor today, she wanted to recommend you to be the commander of the palace royal forest army, I don't know what you think?

Blacksmith Xu used to walk the rivers and lakes and offended many people, so that he had to take his son Xiaodi to live in seclusion in the Sanzhi area, but now when he heard that Qin Xingyi wanted to recommend himself as an official, he was willing, and the safety of himself and his son would be guaranteed in the future. He replied, "Yes, thank you Your Highness for promoting." ”

Qin Xingyi heard that Blacksmith Xu agreed, and knew it in his heart, got into a sedan chair and set off for the palace.

The palace of the Western Qin Kingdom is not very gorgeously decorated, and because of the baptism of war, you can still find a little devastation left by the war in the corner of the main hall. Qin Xingyi's father refused to completely erase these traces in order to remind himself and future generations that he would maintain peace and avoid war in the future.

Qin Xingyi came to the imperial study, respectfully invited the emperor Jin An, and walked in.

The emperor sat behind the bookcase in the imperial study, looked up and watched the imperial sister walk in, a kind smile appeared on his face, and instructed the little waiter: "Show the eldest princess." ”

A small chamberlain brought a wooden bench, Qin Xingyi thanked him and sat down peacefully, and first recommended Xu Blacksmith to serve as the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, praising him for his loyalty to the royal family, courage and resourcefulness, and a rare talent.

The emperor didn't care about this kind of trivial matter, and promised that when he set up a banquet for the eldest princess in the imperial garden for a while, he might as well let Blacksmith Xu practice his hands to make a decision.

Qin Xingyi saw that the emperor's tone was loose, and knew that Blacksmith Xu was very promising, and he had to rely on real kung fu to practice his hands, so he didn't have to worry about it.

The formal conversation began. The emperor went straight to the point, mentioned that the implementation of the serial plan was smooth, and he appreciated that the second step has been completed.

When Qin Xingyi heard this, she suddenly became worried in her heart, afraid that the emperor would mention Xuanyuan Mingyu next, and sure enough, which pot is not opened and which pot is not mentioned!

The emperor continued: "Sister Huang, there are already eyebrows about the next step. Prince Sumeng of Tanjiang sent a hunt warrant overnight, asking my country to send the third prince of Xuanyuan to him for treatment. ”

Qin Xingyi was startled, hurriedly stood up, and asked, "How does the emperor reply?" ”

The emperor waved his hand calmly, motioned for Qin Xingyi to sit down, and said, "Imperial sister, I have ordered someone to reply to the letter, detailing the conditions for returning the third prince of Xuanyuan. As long as the Danjiang Kingdom cedes the border city of Puwang to our country, I will not only hand over the three princes of Xuanyuan to them to govern, but also form an alliance between the two countries to assist Prince Sumeng to ascend the throne of the Ninety-Five Emperor in the future. ”

Qin Xingyi sat back on the wooden bench, secretly saying that she had to face the sudden change calmly, and asked, "Your Majesty, what if Prince Sumeng agrees?" ”

"Wouldn't it be better to say yes? Why not exchange a foreigner for a city? ”

The emperor replied complacently, seeing that Qin Xingyi was entangled and bowed his head silently, he praised him: "The imperial sister has made a lot of credit this time!" The first step captured the three princes of Xuanyuan, and the second step destroyed the harmony. This third step is about to have a harvest, one person for one city, and the royal sister needs to make persistent efforts! You can do it, I can rest assured. ”
