Chapter 157: Birthday Offering
Qi Niang didn't know how to speak, but it was hard for the two of them to communicate so deeply today, and she didn't want to miss the opportunity.
For her, Achin is different from others. Maybe it's the warm smile like sunshine in her memory, maybe it's the trust and respect that Aqin has always had, or maybe it's the more contact and understanding between them, and when the closest grandmother can't tell her, Aqin becomes the only person she wants to tell.
These days, she has thought about it carefully, it is one thing to go back or not, but it is another thing to go back or not, she remembers that this was said by the guy in Xuanwu Yicheng, although now that guy is called a pervert in her Su Muli's heart, but I have to say that the truth in this is still right.
But if you want to act, how can you not have a helper?
Achin was the first choice.
Qi Niang took out a piece of letter paper and spread it out carefully, those strange characters were printed on it, and doubts flashed in Murong Qin's eyes, waiting quietly for Ah Qi's next words.
She said: "I have seen these characters in an ancient book, which is said to be the daily language of the Western world, and I was shocked when I suddenly received this that day, so I was in a hurry to find out about Yan Mo."
These words sounded like an explanation, but everything in and out of the words was foreshadowing, and Murong Qin was silent.
Sure enough, Qi Niang took out another letter and handed it to Murong Qin, it was the Flame Si Bingluo who found the handwritten book hidden by Wang Liu's mother-in-law some time ago.
After comparing the two sides, Murong Qin immediately found out the key.
"Yan Mo?" He was surprised.
Qi Niang bowed slightly, but she was extremely admired in her heart. If it weren't for the sharp eyes of Banxiang, the angle of the light projection happened to be in place, otherwise I was afraid that I wouldn't have been able to find the mystery until now.
It seems that after I go back, I have to study Yan Mo again.
Qi Niang carefully explained how Bingluo secretly investigated, and Murong Qin listened while boiling tea.
Finally, after Qi Niang finished speaking, he looked at him with a blank eye, and then he replied: "Ah Qi wants to find out who is behind the scenes?"
Qi Niang nodded again and again when she heard this, and she should "yes".
"Then Ah Qi wants to find out who is behind the mysterious character, or is it the mastermind behind the murder of this official ship?"
Forehead...... What does it mean? Can't the two be the same person?
Qi Niang frowned and wondered, to be honest, she had never thought about this question carefully from the beginning. When that day Banxiang said Yan Mo's big secret. She immediately thought of the mysterious character, but to be honest, she didn't have no doubts, as it stands. This mysterious character is meant to lure her into the imperial capital. But this secret report is clearly impatient to finish her off......
She thought about it and came to one conclusion. That is, the person behind the scenes wants to lure her to the imperial capital and then make a move!
After all, when she was in Cen Zhou, except for occasionally going to Murong Qinna, she hardly left the General's Mansion for the rest of her time. In this way, unless it is a master of the rivers and lakes like the Charm Water Poison King, other young people will not want to succeed!
Murong Qin poured a cup of fragrant tea for Qi Niang, and then said: "If these two letters come from the same person, Ah Qin thinks it is very far-fetched. Let's not talk about why he would inexplicably pass on the mysterious character to you, just so boldly assassinated on the official ship, and at a glance, you knew that it was an urgent and hasty move. The official ship opened the way, the holy decree sheltered, and there was the escort of the Flame Division with many masters in the Ouchi, you said that if it wasn't for eagerness, who would be so aggressive? ”
"Nine times out of ten, the people behind the scenes are in the imperial capital! And the reason for killing you is also very simple - to prevent you from returning to the imperial capital! As for the mysterious character, Ah Qi, do you know the reason for the message? ”
As soon as these words came out, Qi Niang couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat. Although she shook her head with a pale face, her heart exploded!
Yes, she was so determined before that she ignored the original reason! In her opinion, the word "coffee" didn't care that it was used by the man to tempt, and that person was most likely her Crossing Alliance, but now she wavered from that idea!
If that person really crossed the alliance, then which eye did he see that she Su Muli was crossing over? Why didn't she find her grandmother? Moreover, if that person didn't have the slightest certainty, why did he bother to be so tempted, and deliberately used Yan Mo to lure her to the imperial capital, but then there was no news, how can this be explained? What's more, since she once crossed over to here, she mostly lived in the deep boudoir of the mansion under the name of Su Muli, and there were only a few people who came and went in contact with her in a day, if it weren't for how to expose the flaws, the first person to be found should be the person around her, could it be that the person behind the scenes has been hidden by her side?
The more Qi Niang thought about it, the more chaotic her heart became!
Murong Qin looked at her thoughtful appearance in the afterglow, and couldn't help sighing, and said: "Ah Qi, don't worry, no matter what, now that you and the Duchess have arrived in the imperial capital safely, and have the protection of your father and grandmother, those who want to come behind the scenes will not dare to act for a while, and most of the people on my side are people from the rivers and lakes, but I am afraid that it is difficult to investigate the secret affairs of the palace, and I will do my best."
"Since these characters are not from my dynasty, I think they must have come from overseas barbarians, and it just so happens that the five kingdoms of July came to congratulate us, so we might as well take this opportunity to test and tempt."
"Gokoku Chaoga?" Qi Niang came to the end, and then asked, "Which five countries?" Why haven't there been any rumors lately? ”
Murong Qin smiled and said: "Beiyi and Xuanwu in the north, Nanban in the south, Mengqi in the southwest, and the Ghost Sea in the east.
I see, but she has been in and out of the palace more than ten times these days, so why haven't she even heard a little rumor. Although she doesn't know what the strength of Dayue is, she can look at the land area recorded in "Dayue Shiwen" and her daily contact, the clothing, food, housing and transportation of the people, and she doesn't want to know that Dayue must be strong, and it is no wonder that there will be five countries to congratulate.
These are not the key, the important thing is that she will meet many, many foreigners at that time, I don't know if she will be lucky enough to meet one or two blondes and blue eyes, or cross the alliance, think about it, I am looking forward to it!
She asked with bright eyes, "In addition to the night banquet in the palace, do the Five Kingdoms have other arrangements?" Is it the lord of the country or the envoy? Is this time a formality, or is there another purpose? Also, will we have a chance to meet these foreign guests? ”
A series of questions really stopped Murong Qin, but the doubts in his eyes became more and more obvious, and he said tentatively: "Ah Qi, who told you these words?"
"What?" Qi Niang was very puzzled, and only after thinking about it carefully did she react, she pretended to be righteous and covered up: "What you read in the book, what you read in the book ......"
But he muttered to himself in his heart: In modern times, there are many foreign missions with a princess or prince to come, if it is not to discuss the division of the country, then most of it is harmony, how can such an old-fashioned thing not be known? Is it good to have a bad plot in the overwhelming costume TV series?
But Murong Qin doesn't think so, in his opinion, Qi Niang is just a woman raised in the countryside, although she returned to the General's Mansion, she is also a deep lady who doesn't ask about the world, and it stands to reason that the little girl's family should be a fantasy and I don't know what it is, which is like Qi Niang's guess is reasonable, as if she has seen it with her own eyes. Even if he, the third son of the emperor, hadn't paid attention to it in private, he was afraid that he wouldn't know about the rules and regulations.
Qi Niang is not as simple as it seems, just like her acupuncture thaumaturgy that cannot be reasonably explained so far, she knows much more than they seem!
Murong Qin's heart sank, and he wanted to ask more, but looking at Su Qi's calm appearance on his face, he sighed lightly and decisively gave up this idea.
If Ah Qi doesn't want to say it, I'm afraid that no one will be able to make her speak.
The days to come are still long, take your time!
Murong Qin added some fragrant tea and asked casually, "Qi Ling's birthday is only a few days away, can the birthday gift be prepared?"
Qi Niang was stunned when asked, these days have been going from east to west, it seems that she has forgotten......
She looked at Murong Qin in a daze, her already bright eyes were even more bulging, her mouth was slightly open, and she was stunned to maintain this appearance for a long time before she muttered: "Huh...... Forgot about ......."
Murong Qin shook his head with a smile, and said in a doting voice that he didn't even notice: "You...... You're ......."
When Qi Niang heard this, she lowered her head even more like a child who had done something wrong!
In the previous life, unless it was a very good confidant and best friend, if it was not those friends who were not familiar with the scene, the birthday gift or something was done by the housekeeper at home, who needed her, the eldest lady of the golden lady, to ask in person, besides, even if the time was tight occasionally, you could also go to some well-known card shops to pick up a few clothes, anyway, it would be easy to do things with money!
Therefore, the county lord of Qiling was automatically included in the pair of scenes by her.
Isn't it just a matter of silver, since she has a special status, then knock more silver to get in, anyway, she doesn't lack this idea money!
Thinking of this, Qi Niang's heart was at ease, but before she could say this thought, Murong Qin on the other side had already opened her mouth, "Qi Niang, don't mess with some silver, I'm afraid that I will suffer when the time comes!" ”
Forehead...... Spending money and still suffering, what's the reason?
Qi Niang frowned.
Murong Qin suppressed the fragrant tea, and then added, "Ah Qike has heard of the imperial capital's birthday gift?"
Qi Niang shook her head and thought for a while: "Is it that during the birthday banquet, the guests presented the birthday gifts they prepared to Shou Weng Gong?"
Murong Qin smiled, "Yes, but not all. ”
"Speaking of which, this birthday gift is just a matter that has risen in the past two years, but it has quickly become the most talked-about matter in the circle of the upper nobles of the imperial capital, there is no doubt about it, first the guests present the birthday gift, and then it is the evaluation and comparison of all parties, the selection of the best birthday gift and the most inferior gift, and then the punishment." (To be continued......)
