Finally survived the etiquette safely, nothing went wrong, and when he returned to the Mei Courtyard, Liu Qin breathed a long sigh of relief.

The ladies and girls of the various provinces have a lot of discussions about today's banquet, and the most talked about is not Liu Qin, although Liu Qin looks good, but the whole process is dull, woody, nothing outstanding, many girls compare with her, and feel that their hearts are high, and the girls in Liufu are just like that.

It's the two young masters, who look ...... As soon as the girls thought of Jiang Li and Fang Nuo's appearance, their faces blushed and their hearts jumped, the handkerchiefs in their hands were about to be crumpled, and the ladies also looked at their sons-in-law and asked each other where the young master of Liufu came from, what his family background was, and which powerful parents were.

Anyway, Jiang Li and Fang Nuo can be said to have disturbed a pool of spring hearts in Wucheng.

The parties did not have the consciousness of the culprit at all, the two laughed all the way, and when they thought that Liu Qin, who was usually smart and flying, had become a dull goose today, they wanted to laugh out loud.

Liu Qin lay on his back on the bed, so comfortable that he rolled around.

repeatedly called the girl to bring water to wash off the heavy makeup on her face.

After washing refreshingly, changing clothes, making up for a beautiful night's sleep, it was twilight when I woke up.

Lan Ke took the dinner, waited for the girl to finish eating, the girls of the Mei Courtyard got together to open the gifts received today, Lan Ke was responsible for registration, Qiu Xun was responsible for classification, and a few little maids guarding the door started and moved around.

Liu Qin lazily sat in front of the window, watching the glow outside fade away, and the sky became darker and darker.

Today, I have really grown up and been reborn for fifteen years. It can be regarded as fulfilling your wish, living comfortably and happily. There is affection and love, and this world is worthwhile.

It would be nice to be able to do so forever!

Satisfied, but at the same time feel a trace of regret.

took out a piece of jade pendant from the close-fitting purse and rubbed it gently. It's been five years, and there hasn't been a little news, and the master and Xiao Wu seem to have evaporated from the world.

Master. Little Five, are you all right?

Yu Pei was warm, but could not respond to her whispers.

"Huh?"

A surprise interrupted Liu Qin's thoughts. It also woke her up from a faint sorrow.

Qiu Xun held a delicate Nanmu small box and walked up to her with a smile, "Who gave this here, such a beautiful box only contains an ordinary small porcelain bottle." I don't know what's inside? ”

Liu Qin turned his head to look. At this look, I was stunned all of a sudden.

This, how does this seem to be Uncle Hua's detoxification pill?

I took the porcelain bottle, opened it, poured it on my hand, and smelled the six black pills, the same medicinal fragrance. That's right, it's the detoxification pill.

Uncle Hua and Big Brother are here?

Liu Qin jumped up suddenly. Put away the pill and jade pendant, and told Qiu Xun to ask if there were any outsiders left in the front yard, and who sent the pill.

After a while, Qiu Xun turned around and told Liu Qin that there were no guests in the front yard, and the housekeeper Fu Bo said that there was indeed a distinguished guest today, but he had left, and it was sent by the distinguished guest, as for who the distinguished guest was and where he came from, Fu Bo did not know, it was received by the master himself.

After thinking about it, Liu Qin decided to ask his father.

I took a few plates of the newly made snacks today, put them in the food box, and let Lan Ke carry them, Qiu Xun lit the lanterns, and the three of them went to the outer courtyard.

In the large study room in the outer courtyard, a guard was guarding outside the courtyard, and when he saw Liu Qin, he hurriedly saluted.

After the ceremony, he was about to go in to report, Liu Qin shook his hand, "I'll go in by myself." ”

took the food box, let Lan Keqiu stay outside, and walked straight in, everyone in the house knew the master's love for Liu Qin, so the guards didn't stop her.

Walking up the stone steps, I was about to push open the door of the study, but I heard the sound of talking inside, and I was stunned for a moment, and put down my outstretched hand.

I only heard my father sigh lightly and said: "Alas, I didn't discuss this decision with you for my father, but there was a reason for it, the fourth prince brought a letter from the first queen, and worshiped Taifu Nie as a teacher for his father, and was taught by his teacher, and the first queen and his father had a brother and sister relationship." Your grandfather was in trouble and had to run many ways and intercede with the first queen, so he survived, and now the first queen is entrusted on her deathbed, how can her father be selfish and ignore it, and you can't refuse it for your father. ”

"No matter what decision the father makes, the son will obey it, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, isn't it the father who teaches his son?" It's the voice of the big brother.

"It's really helpless to drag the Liu family into the struggle for imperial power, you can also send a letter to your second brother, and tell him about this matter secretly, so that he can be prepared."

"Yes. Father, you said that the eldest prince is here, it doesn't mean that he wants to transfer you back to the imperial capital, right? ”

"Probably not, according to my father's guess, the eldest prince is looking for a way back for himself, if he can't do anything, our south is his last retreat, and at that time, he needs the escort of our Liu family."

"What does Father think the eldest prince has a chance of winning?"

There was silence for a long time before Master Liu sighed, "Victory or defeat is both providential and man-made, the Jin family has the power of the government and the opposition, and controls half of the government, the Cao family holds the military power, or can compete with one or two, the eldest prince has neither the support of his uncle's family nor the help of the Yue family, and he has always been low-key, and his reputation is not obvious, I am afraid that he will ...... Alas! ”

Silence fell back into the room, and a heavy and oppressive atmosphere spread from inside to outside.

It seems to be darker.

There are no stars, no moon, dark clouds are piling up, and the wind and rain are coming.

Master Liu's voice sounded again, "Now that we have taken this step, we can only bear the result, but we can't sit still, we need to plan in advance, tomorrow, you will gather our people and start arranging." As for the mansion, doesn't Qin'er want to build a multinational caravan, you secretly help and let her caravan be set up as much as possible, so that if it really comes to that point, you can also let Qin'er take a few children to other countries to take refuge, and always leave some blood for our Liu family. ”

"Don't you let my little sister know about this?"

"No, your little sister is a woman after all, so don't let them worry about what we men should bear."

"Hmm."

Liu Qin turned around slowly and quietly left the door, her heart was heavier than the dark clouds in the sky, and her legs seemed to be filled with lead.

Out of the yard, he handed the food box to Lan Ke and walked back silently.

Her worst fears finally happened.

The struggle for imperial power and the battle for succession have always been a game of death and death, even if you win, can you have a good ending?

What's more, there is little hope.

Stop, look up at the sky, the sky without a glimmer of light, could not enlighten her.

There are no answers, let alone directions.

What am I going to do? What am I going to do?

Qiu Xun, who was holding a lantern in front, suddenly didn't see the girl coming up, and was about to ask curiously, but saw Lan Ke shaking her head at her, and closed her mouth in interest, even if she was sluggish, she also felt the difference between the girl at this time.

Silently walked back to the plum courtyard, and just stepped into the steps under the eaves, the pouring rain fell from the sky.

God seems to be angry, the wind is howling, the unclosed windows are "clanging", the heavy rain is pouring, urging flowers to break willows, and I don't know how many flowers will fall tomorrow.

"Oh my God, it's good, why did you go crazy."

Cui Tong muttered as she let Liu Qin, who was already half wet, into the house. (To be continued.) )
