Chapter Ninety-One: Making Connections
"Niangniang, it's getting late, Niangniang, you better go in and rest."
Man'er saw that it had been a long time, and sat down with her on the ground and looked like he wanted to go in, so he opened his mouth to persuade her.
Qi Xin turned his face and looked at Man'er,
"Wouldn't Man'er want to sit with Hongu for a while longer?"
"No, no, no, Niangniang, how could it be, the slave is just worried about Niangniang's body, Niangniang,"
Seeing Man'er's panicked appearance, Qi Xin smiled happily. Seeing the smile on Qi Xin's face, Man'er also knew that Qi Xin was teasing herself. Man'er smiled embarrassedly, but he still looked at Qi Xin seriously and said,
"Mother, the slave is serious, you will definitely get sick if you sit here like this."
Qi Xin looked at Man'er gently and smiled, and the whole person leaned on Man'er's body,
"Sitting here, like Man'er, all I feel is the coldness of my body. But the key to the palace is lying on the bed inside, and the heart of the palace is cold. ”
Qi Xin looked at Man'er's eyes with a wooden expression and spoke, and there was food and mockery in his eyes. Although Man'er didn't understand what Qi Xin meant, he felt distressed when he looked at Qi Xin's expression. So Man'er put his hand on Qixin's back and hugged Qixin into his arms.
"The mother feels cold, and the slave maid will cover the mother with heat, so that the mother will not be cold."
Qi Xin didn't expect Man'er to have such a move, and wanted to push Man'er away with a smile, but he really felt the warmth from Man'er, so he simply let Men'er hold himself and lean on Man'er's shoulder steadily.
"Niangniang, are you worried about that Qingshui-sama, Niangniang, don't worry, Qingshui-sama will definitely arrive in Qingguo safe and sound."
"Hmph."
Qi Xin sneered when he heard this, Man'er felt unfamiliar with such a voice, but it seemed to be strange at the same time,
"What's wrong, sis?"
Qi Xin broke away from Man'er's arms and looked at Man'er
"What do you think? Will I ever see Uncle Qingshui again? ”
Man'er saw the sadness in Qi Xin's eyes, but he still stubbornly said,
"Niangniang, what did Niangniang say. Niangniang will definitely be able to meet Lord Qingshui. Empress. Is the mother a family? Or does the mother miss her father and mother? Niangniang, don't worry, after two years, you give birth to a little prince, and the emperor will listen to whatever you say. When the time comes, I will ask the emperor to allow you to go back to Qingguo to have a look. The emperor loves you so much, he will definitely agree. ”
After Man'er finished speaking, he even looked at Man'er's chin proudly, and looked at Man'er's convincing appearance together, feeling a little distressed about Man'er. How can he do things with himself when he is still a child who doesn't know anything? But Qi Xin laughed at his own thoughts in his heart first, isn't he also a child?
Man'er saw the smile on Qi Xin's face, and thought that Qi Xin was happy to be said by himself, so he approached Qi Xin and said in a more excited voice,
"Niangniang must bring Man'er with her when the time comes. Man'er has never been out of the Northern Qi Kingdom. ”
Qi Xin laughed even more happily, and even laughed out loud, and quickly covered his mouth with both hands. Man'er also laughed together at first, but gradually discovered that something was wrong with Qixin, and soon, Qixin's face burst into tears. Man'er looked at Qixin in a daze,
"Mother?"
"Man'er thinks, can I still see my Uncle Qingshui again?"
Qixin is full of such a serious inquiry, Man'er is not in a hurry to think of anything else, and nodded.
"That's a certain queen, it must be a matter of time before you give birth to a little prince, and everyone knows that the emperor feels sorry for you."
Qi Xin gently raised his right hand and gently held Man'er's cheek.
"Man'er, Northern Qi won't let you go back alive Uncle Qingshui, don't you really understand?"
"What?"
Man'er looked puzzled, but Qixin was too lazy to say anything, still leaning on Man'er's arms,
"Man'er. Don't talk, just let me stay like this for a while. ”
"Niangniang, Niangniang, don't scare the slave maid, what do you mean, why do you say that the emperor will not let Lord Qingshui return to Qingguo?"
Qi Xin was silent for a long time,
"Uncle Qingshui now knows too many secrets of the Northern Qi Kingdom, if Uncle Qingshui returns to the Qingguo Kingdom and tells his father all these things, the Northern Qi Kingdom or the Northern Qi Kingdom will be in danger, so the emperor will definitely not allow Uncle Qingshui to return to the Qingguo. The reason why I followed the play was just to comfort me. ”
After hearing this, Man'er pondered for a long time, and then asked,
"Then, why did Niangniang stage this play with the emperor?"
Qi Xin smiled, but Man'er couldn't see it,
"This palace just doesn't want Uncle Qingshui to continue to stay in the prison and suffer, I'd rather die outside than die inside the Northern Qi Palace."
Man'er was completely silent, and she needed to digest what Qi Xin said.
Duan Zhirong rushed back to Qingshangshan with a disgraced face, without a single pause or turning back along the way. The appearance of Qing Shui's death kept appearing in front of his eyes, as well as those soldiers who died in the sea of fire. Everyone was looking at him, and all the hands were reaching out to him.
"Chu Ren! Are you back? ”
The shopkeeper of Qingshangshan remembered to see the chef who came again, since the afternoon rest, after that Chu Ren went out to buy ingredients, her heart has been unfamiliar and comfortable, and she has been sitting in the small kitchen at the back and waiting. Sure enough, he had already slept and woke up before he heard some movement in Chu Ren's room.
Duan Zhirong took a few deep breaths, tried hard to shake those nostalgic thoughts out of his mind, and said calmly to the outside,
"Yes, shopkeeper, I'm back."
"Well, it's good to be back, the old Qi Tou has sent the ingredients, you go to bed early, and get up early tomorrow."
"Okay, shopkeeper."
The shopkeeper still had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't go to bed to ask.
Duan Zhirong walked to his bedside and did it, waiting until his mind was stable before opening his palm. The paper ball that Qing Shui gave her, he also held it tightly in his hand like Qing Shui, and came back all the way.
Duan Zhirong gently opened the ball of paper, and then penetrated the moonlight in the room, carefully looking at the handwriting on the paper.
Suddenly, Duan Zhirong's eyes widened, and he slashed excitedly, tears bursting out of his eyes.
The girl's delicate handwriting touched herself again,
'A qiē is good, no thought.
I am willing to help restore prosperity.
Be sure to make connections. ’
Duan Zhirong looked at himself on the paper ball, and before he paid attention to the content, he couldn't cry. (To be continued.) )
