Qin Zhen returned to the palace the next morning, and once he had breakfast, he fell asleep.

Although Zhou Qingqing knew that the two had become married, the pass of the round house would have to be passed sooner or later. But if she can hide for a while, she can hide for a while, and Qin Zhen hugs her from time to time, which already makes her uneasy, and the thought of doing such intimate things with this person makes her goosebumps all over her body.

She has just arrived, just two days after her wedding, and it is inconvenient to go out at will, but it is extremely boring in the house. She used to be in the Dingxi Palace, and she had a good and close relationship with the subordinates, but the subordinates here were respectful to her on the surface, but they were really cold. She doesn't want to approach people rashly.

In this way, in this palace, except for Nie Jin and Bihe who came in with her, the only one who can get a little closer is Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen slept until the evening, and the water and washing naturally fell into Zhou Qingqing's hands.

After washing, Qin Zhen asked his subordinates to bring the clothes of the two to change into, which was different from yesterday's simple night clothes, today the two of them are wearing Western Qin brocade clothes, and the identities of the two can be seen lightly.

Zhou Qingqing changed into clothes and hesitated: "The prince really wants me to accompany you to General Murong's mansion?" ”

Qin Zhen looked at her with a smile: "What's the matter?" Is Madame afraid of seeing people? ”

Zhou Qingqing rolled his eyes: "I was thinking, if it is really as you said, today's general's mansion is mixed, maybe the Northern Zhao spies will turn into assassins to assassinate." You are the prince, and you must also be the target of the assassination, I don't want to lose my life in vain. ”

Qin Zhen laughed loudly: "Madame doesn't know, Western Qin has a tradition of martyrdom, if I am stabbed to death, you, a princess who came with relatives, will definitely be arranged for a funeral." So you should follow me as well, if you die together, if you die together, if you live together, you sleep together and die together. ”

Zhou Qingqing: Your grandfather's grandmother!

Qin Zhen saw her black face, and continued to smile: "Life and death go hand in hand, don't you think it's okay for Madam to sing and cry?" ”

Zhou Qingqing said with a grimace: "I don't think so." ”

Qin Zhen didn't care, walked up to her, tilted his head and looked her up and down, turned around and took out a box of rouge from the makeup.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Qingqing took two steps back.

Qin Zhen followed, put some rouge on his hand, wiped it on her fair cheeks, nodded and smiled: "It's good-looking." ”

After his hand left, Zhou Qingqing walked to the bronze mirror with little relief, and found that Qin Zhen was not smeared indiscriminately, and the faint rouge on her cheeks really made her eyes shine a little. She smiled: "The prince is very skilled in this technique!" It seems that this has been done a lot. ”

Qin Zhen raised his eyebrows: "I have indeed done a lot."

Zhou Qingqing snorted lightly, for some reason, hearing him say this, she was slightly displeased.

Qin Zhen said again: "My mother always loved to let me rub rouge on her when she was alive. ”

Zhou Qingqing was silent.

Qin Zhen smiled and took her hand: "Let's go." ”

The two went out together, and happened to meet Nie Jin, because he had the experience of being driven away by Qin Zhen yesterday, he retreated with interest today, and he didn't plan to follow.

How did Qin Zhen see him leave and called him away: "Nie Guard, your young lady is going out, why don't you follow?" ”

Nie Jinmune's face showed a trace of doubt: "The prince took the young lady out last night, didn't he let the little one follow?" ”

"Last night was last night, today is today."

Zhou Qingqing turned his head to look at him and said with his eyes: Can you still be a scoundrel?

Naturally, she wouldn't let Nie Jin be bullied, and beckoned to him: "Ah Jin, you follow me." ”

Nie Jin nodded expressionlessly.

Qin Zhen traveled lightly, because with Nie Jin, he didn't even need the coachman, so he used Nie Jin directly. When I arrived at the gate of General Murong's mansion, there were already a lot of incense cars and BMWs parked in front of it.

But as soon as Qin Zhen got out of the car, General Murong, the host of today's birthday banquet, immediately greeted him with his wife, and after greeting each other, he led the two into the house.

The guests in the general's mansion have arrived, and Qin Zhen, as the No. 2 person in Western Qin, can be regarded as the finale. The general's mansion is very luxurious, and the stage is more professional than the pear orchard outside.

Under the stage, the dignitaries of Western Qin gathered, Qin Zhen and Zhou Qingqing sat in the center, next to the host, General Murong and his wife, surrounded by high-ranking officials.

At the beginning of the performance on stage, Qin Zhen attached to Zhou Qingqing's ear and said: "The first one on the left hand is the privy envoy Su, next to him is the prime minister Mo, and the two on the right hand are the northern general Chenggou and the southern general Shangguan Fei." ”

Zhou Qingqing looked at him in confusion, not knowing what he was telling him to do. Qin Zhen just smiled and continued to say in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Except for the hundreds of thousands of troops under my command, the rest of Western Qin's troops and grain and grass are all in the hands of the four of them and General Murong. ”

Zhou Qingqing understood what he meant, and he was just saying that if the assassins were assassinated today, these four people would be the first targets. However, she felt that if Northern Zhao wanted to capture Western Qin, the best shortcut was actually to assassinate Qin Zhen. As soon as the martial king Qin Zhen died, Western Qin naturally did not have any trouble.

Qin Zhen looked at her and walked her eyes, guessed what she was thinking, smiled, and said in a low voice: "Bei Zhao has been planting spies for many years, and he must know that the assassins are not good, they will only do things that are more certain." After that, his voice was lowered, and he said quietly, "For example, assassinate these important officials who are easy to assassinate, as well as my Qin Zhen's newly married princess." ”

Zhou Qingqing hurriedly looked for Nie Jin, and saw him standing a few feet away from him, so he was a little relieved. From Jinling to Xijing, I suffered a lot all the way, and I also encountered the assassination of the rest of the Xiao clan in Shuzhong, and now I finally arrived in Xijing, and I always have to enjoy a few days as a princess, she can't die here inexplicably.

The servants who performed on the stage today, except for the servants raised by General Murong's family, were all domestic prostitutes brought by dignitaries and nobles to give gifts to General Murong's birthday.

The Western Qin humanities are rough, and although they are vassals and elegant, they are inevitably not meticulous enough. For most men in Taiwan, the performance of the singer on stage is not so much to appreciate the dance and music, but to see the beauty and posture of the singer.

And Zhou Qingqing was born in Jinling, although she is not highly accomplished in dance and music, but she has a sister with extraordinary piano skills at home, and her ears are naturally more picky than ordinary people.

Because she was afraid of appearing suddenly at this moment, she was always a little nervous, and she carefully observed every person who came on stage to perform. After about a dozen people finished performing, she always felt that something was wrong, and quietly grabbed Qin Zhen's hand.

"How?" Qin Zhen was relaxed and relaxed, and turned his head to ask him in a low voice.

Zhou Qingqing said: "I think something is wrong. ”

Qin Zhen's thick eyebrows frowned slightly: "What's wrong?" ”

Zhou Qingqing pondered for a moment, and said in his ear: "Just now, the pipa and the gonghou, as well as the two servants who accompanied the performance of General Murong's dancing concubine at the beginning. ”

Qin Zhen was puzzled: "What's the problem?" ”

Zhou Qingqing said: "They come from different official families, but their piano fingering is very similar, and they must have undergone the same training." ”

Qin Zhen's eyes were shocked, he pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then turned his head and whispered a few words in the ear of General Murong next to him, General Murong's face changed greatly, and he immediately summoned his subordinates and commanded in a low voice.

No one noticed their movements, and the performance on stage continued, as if the guests were unaware.

The sound of the piano is melodious, the singing voice is moving, the Lingren is as beautiful as a flower, and the light is shining, and it is one of the four famous geisha in Xijing, called Peony. Even people like Zhou Qingqing, who has just entered Xijing, have heard of it. Peony is not a prostitute, but a musician in the palace, and today General Murong has a birthday, and the emperor personally sent him to perform.

"There are assassins!" I don't know who suddenly screamed.

The guests in the audience suddenly rioted and dispersed in panic. Zhou Qingqing was about to get up, but Qin Zhen grabbed his hand and whispered in his ear: "Don't worry! I have quietly let people take down the few people you said, but there must be fish that slipped through the net today, so I deliberately let people create chaos, only when there is chaos, those fish and shrimp can't help but pop up. ”

At this moment, the peony that stopped playing in the chaos on the stage was holding the piano and hid aside, but suddenly threw the piano in his hand into the air, and the piano broke into two in the air, and a sword shining with cold light fell out of the section.

She grabbed the long sword and flew towards General Murong, Qin Zhen slapped his big hand when he saw this, and jumped up to meet her in front of General Murong.

However, Peony suddenly turned around in the air, and stabbed straight at Zhou Qingqing, who was sitting in the same place.

She was extremely fast, Zhou Qingqing couldn't react, and the blade of the sword pointed directly at her throat when she saw it. And just when the sword was about to touch her, Nie Jin, who had been guarding beside her, had already stretched out his hand and clamped the blade with two fingers.

Peony's face turned pale, and he quickly withdrew the sword in his hand, and the blood between Nie Jin's fingers splashed on Zhou Qingqing's face.

"Ah Jin!" Zhou Qingqing screamed in fright.

At this time, the peony had jumped to the roof, and it was about to disappear into the night. Nie Jin glanced at Zhou Qingqing, and saw that Qin Zhen had quickly withdrawn to her side, so he took out the Xuantie sword on his waist and flew up to catch up.

Qin Zhen squatted down and looked at Zhou Qingqing, who was pale, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay." ”

Zhou Qingqing stood up, glared at him with palpitations, and said with a dry smile: "I can't die." ”

Originally, the target of the assassin tonight should be the people Qin Zhen said, but it suddenly became her. She had to suspect that the man had dragged her in on purpose to use her as a target to lure the Assassin into appearing. No wonder he deliberately called Nie Jin.

At this time, a person who looked like a soldier ran over: "Lord Wang, General Murong, I have taken those servants into custody as ordered, and the others are also being investigated." ”

Qin Zhen nodded: "You arrange for someone to appease the adults." ”

"My subordinates understand."

Qin Zhen grabbed Zhou Qingqing's hand and dragged her out, but when she walked outside the door, Zhou Qingqing didn't get into the carriage, looked around worriedly, and said, "I'm going to look for Ah Jin, I haven't come back for so long, I'm afraid there will be danger." ”

Qin Zhen was amused by her: "What kind of skills does Nie Jin have, don't you know better than me?" I'm still waiting for him to get me the peony back! ”

Zhou Qingqing heard what he said, and finally couldn't help but roar angrily: "Do you want to be shameless? It's okay to use me, and use my people to help you arrest people? ”

Qin Zhen laughed even harder: "Aren't your people my people?" After that, he grabbed her and hugged her in the car, "If you want to quarrel and quarrel, you will be embarrassed at the door of someone else's house." ”

Zhou Qingqing was helpless against his scoundrels, so he could only sit in the carriage and sulk. The groom came out of nowhere, and as soon as the whip was raised, the car began to run.

Seeing that she was holding her mouth and not speaking, Qin Zhen laughed, moved to his side, broke her face, and said softly, "I'll see if I'm hurt?" ”

Zhou Qingqing slapped his hand away: "Don't worry about it." ”

Qin Zhen smiled: "So angry? ”

Zhou Qingqing was silent.

Qin Zhen was a little serious: "I did guess that if Princess Wu appeared in the General's Mansion, she might become an assassin target." But I'm by your side, and I'll be sure to take care of it. When he said this, he met Zhou Qingqing's slanted and disdainful eyes, smiled and touched his nose, and added, "That's why I let Nie Jin follow you." ”

Seeing that Zhou Qingqing still didn't speak, he said softly: "If you are unhappy, you can punish me as much as you want when you go back!" ”

Zhou Qingqing laughed twice, glanced at him in the dark and said, "The prince is above, and the concubines don't dare to say anything." ”

Qin Zhen attached to her ear and said, "Madame can also be on it." ”

Zhou Qingqing didn't understand the meaning of his words, so he just tilted his head and waited for him.

Qin Zhen continued to smile and said ambiguously: "As long as the lady likes it, the husband is willing to be there." ”

Rao is Zhou Qingqing, who has never been in the world, can probably guess what he is talking about, and angrily slammed his elbow into his abdomen, and said angrily: "Qin Zhen, do you want to be shameless!" ”

Zhou Qingqing is also a person who practices martial arts, this elbow is really not light, Qin Zhen did not dodge, and let her vent her anger, covering her stomach and grinning: "If you go down a little more, we will never have to use the cave room." ”

Zhou Qingqing was also a little weak after hitting him, but he still stiffened his neck and said, "You deserve it!" ”

Qin Zhen rubbed his abdomen and said, "No matter what, it was indeed me who frightened you today, and I should make amends to you." What do you want me to do? ”

Zhou Qingqing's eyes rolled slyly, and he asked with a smile: "Do you agree to whatever I want?" ”

Qin Zhen nodded and said seriously: "As long as I can do it, listen to it." ”

Zhou Qingqing tilted his head and smiled: "Okay, I don't want to have sex with you for the time being, do you agree?" ”

Qin Zhen really understood what it meant to move a stone to hit himself in the foot, he sneered and said, "This can't be done, change to a different one." ”

Zhou Qingqing sneered: "That's it, how dare I make a request to the prince, even if I am stabbed to death by that assassin today, I deserve to accept my fate." ”

Qin Zhen gritted his teeth: "Okay, different rooms are different rooms, but you always have to have a time limit, and for the time being, for a long time." ”

Zhou Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard him, and immediately smiled: "I'm different from you, my words must count, temporary is temporary, the kind of temporary that ordinary people understand." ”

Qin Zhen saw her laughing, and he smiled himself: "Okay, it's all up to you." ”
