Chapter 43: Confidentiality (2)

After the maid dispersed, Lin Wan ate regardless of her image, and with a satisfied face, she exclaimed, "It's really pig's trotters...... It's delicious. Romance Starter"

Looking at Lin Wan's eating appearance, Qin Yu shook his head with a smile, but noticed a few pieces of paper on the desk, and the ink on the paper had not yet dried completely. He approached to take a closer look, and when he saw the pattern on it, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Wan'er, these ...... Where did you see them? This...... What kind of flower is this? Also, what does this mean? ”

When Qin Yu brought the artwork to Lin Wan, who was eating and drinking, Lin Wan almost didn't squirt out food.

Qin Yu pointed to a few numbers and letters, looking puzzled.

"Ahem...... That's ......" Lin Wan coughed dryly, not knowing how to explain it, she drew several flower options on the manuscript paper, namely cherry blossoms, plum blossoms, and irises, presumably Qin Yu asked about this irise. Another one depicts the outline of the skirt, the details of which are undecided. The length and width of the shawl ribbon were also roughly estimated, and the words '400 cm long and 20 cm wide' were written on the sides of the manuscript paper.

It took a long time for her to think of a statement: "That flower is called irises." As for this ...... This one...... It's a habit of mine. After speaking, he pointed to the length of '400cm' and said, "You can understand this as seventeen feet." ”

Qin Yu was stunned for a long time, then pointed to '20cm' and asked, "Then what does this mean?" ”

"Well, you should think it's less than a foot." Lin Wan sighed, if she remembered correctly, the ancient one foot was much shorter than the modern one, and she should be right to explain it this way.

Qin Yu frowned, probably because he didn't understand, but fortunately he didn't ask much, just praised a few words for the good painting, and didn't bother much. Lin Wan still secretly pinched her sweat, thinking that she must not be so careless in the future, and save trouble.

The two finished their meal in silence, each with their own thoughts.

Qin Yu opened his mouth first, and deliberately lowered his voice: "Wan'er, I have something to tell you." ”

A strange feeling struck, Lin Wan was a little infected by this atmosphere, and also lowered her voice and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Qin Yu beckoned and motioned for Lin Wan to put her ears close.

"You can put this on tonight, cover the east window, and go to bed as usual." Qin Yu took out a wooden box and handed it to Lin Wan.

Lin Wan didn't know why, she stared at the wooden box, as if she wanted to see through the wooden box, and she kept worrying about Qin Yu's words, 'Cover the east window', oh my God, what is this going to do? Is Qin Yu ready to climb over the wall and come in and have an affair with him? That...... Could this box be the ......

"I... Can I open it up now? ”

"Let's see when it's safe."

"Safe place? Over here...... Isn't it safe? For a while, Lin Wan had goosebumps all over her body, and Qin Yu actually said that it was not the safest in her own home...... It's horrible. It means that there is someone in the family who threatens him, right? And also...... What's in this box?

Qin Yu nodded: "Later, you will multiply these pen, ink and paper on the surface of the box and bring them back to the house to hide people's eyes." ”

"Okay, I remembered ......" Even if she was confused and scared, Lin Wan chose to believe Qin Yu.

"Do you remember that maid, little slave?"

Lin Wan was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Of course I remember, she was ...... just now" Before she finished speaking, she thought of something, and asked with wide eyes: "It's not safe, it's her?" ”

Before Qin Yu could reply, Lin Wan put her fingers into her throat and kept picking at ...... Very indecent......

Qin Yu asked with some concern, "What's wrong?" ”

"I just ate the pig's trotters she brought...... Am I going to be poisoned? ”

“……”

Qin Yu touched his forehead helplessly, "Actually, I can't be sure, but even if she is, she hasn't had the time to poison me yet, so Wan'er don't worry, there is no poison in this dish." ”

"How do you know it's not poisonous?" Lin Wan still didn't believe it, and was stunned to pick and spit there.

"She's been with me for so long, and if she really wants my life, she has too many opportunities, so I believe that the purpose of her being with me is not to take my life."

Lin Wan calmed down, but she still didn't quite understand.

"I suspect that she is the queen's eyeliner, and if she is, my every move will not escape the queen's eyes." As for why Qin Yu dared to be sure that there was no poison in this dish, it was because Qin Yu knew that he was good for the queen at this time, and she did not order his life in the past, and it was even more impossible now.

"Eyeliner? Queen? Lin Wan was puzzled, why did it hit the queen's head again? This emperor's house is really like a deep pool, and there is no bottom in sight, and my family has to be so vigilant.

Qin Yu fell into memories and slowly recounted: "Many years ago... My father is still on the throne...... At that time, my power and status in the court were second only to my father's king, and I won the trust of the ministers, and I was the best choice for the crown prince. Maybe I'm too slow to realize the queen's ambitions, and let an unknown person stay with me for so long......"

"Why her? I think she's very simple......" Lin Wan carefully recalled the appearance of the little slave when she first met, how did she look like a spy?

"You, like me, were deceived by that skin." Qin Yu's expression was gloomy, and he continued: "I still vaguely remember the scene when I took in the little slave. On that day, I went out of the palace and was surrounded by a group of important court officials as usual, and unlike usual, it was a girl who was not yet ten years old kneeling in the center of the palace gate. The girl was unkempt and ragged, with many blood marks on her skin. Since the only intersection was blocked, an attendant stepped forward to drive her away. I still remember the helpless look in her eyes, looking straight at me. I stopped the attendant and gave her the money, but she shook her head and cried and said to me, 'My mother has a strange illness and is dead...... I, I want to enter the palace, I want to live...... 'Maybe her words are my weakness, I actually see myself in her. When I asked her why she wanted to enter the palace, she said, 'Only in the palace will you not starve to death.' ’”

"Because you had the same experience, you took her in?"

"Hmm...... She had a slave tattooed on her arm, and I didn't care about it at first, and gave her a name, Little Slave. Looking back now, if I had noticed this, I wouldn't have stayed with her. Qin Yu sighed heavily, but unfortunately he came to his senses too late. Because of the false information of the little slave back then, he could not return to Mu Lang as soon as possible in the kingdom of heaven, and when he returned to Mu Lang, it was already too late. If he didn't believe in the words of the little slave back then, and only believed in his own intuition, then today's Qiē would be different.

"Ah...... It turned out that it was not called Shunkou......" Lin Wan blinked her eyes and asked, "Since you noticed the abnormality later, why didn't you drive her away?" Isn't it a hidden danger to stay around? ”

"There are disadvantages and advantages, I will leave her for my own use, Wan'er knows more about it and is useless, so I will tell you slowly in the future."
