At the end of the month, ask for a monthly pass

**

To put it simply, it was Empress Dowager Han who denied that there was a finger marriage. Not only did she deny that she had promised Qin Min to marry Qi Younian and Ji Xiaotang, but she also simply denied that Qin Min had asked for this matter.

It seems that Qin Min entered the palace, but he hadn't seen her for many years, so he went into the palace to talk to her, and by the way, he counted down Changning.

"How is this possible?" Ji Xiaotang didn't believe it.

Qi Younian didn't believe it either, so he questioned the Empress Dowager Han at that time.

However, when Qin Min was talking to Empress Dowager Han, not only was he not present, but none of the people serving around Qin Min were present. The only people present who could testify were the people who served the Empress Dowager Han in Cining Palace. And these people naturally confirmed that what Empress Dowager Han said was the truth.

And Empress Dowager Han also said that as the Empress Dowager, there is no need for her to lie on this issue. Qi Younian doubted her, and he was simply insulting her. However, Empress Dowager Han did not condemn Qi Younian.

In the words of Empress Dowager Han, Qi Younian was overly sad and ...... because Qin Min died suddenly Fascinated by color.

Even, although Empress Dowager Han denied the marriage, she did not mention the marriage between Qi Younian and Princess Changning, and even she faintly hinted that she would let Ji Xiaotang enter the palace, maybe there is a glimmer of possibility in the future, she really pointed out Ji Xiaotang to Qi Younian as a marriage match.

Of course, Qi Younian was not so naïve and would believe Empress Dowager Han's words.

He was at a stalemate with the Empress Dowager Han, and in the end, Emperor Longqing came forward, saying that Qi Younian was too sad and a little "crazy", so he forced people to pull Qi Younian out of the palace.

When Qi Younian came out of the palace, he met Qin Zhen who rushed to hear the news.

Originally, Qi Younian left Jingci Nunnery. entrusted the matter of presiding over the funeral to Qin Zhen, and Qin Zhen has been focusing on Qi Younian's every move. As soon as he heard that Qi Younian was fighting with Empress Dowager Han in the palace, Qin Zhen was worried that Qi Younian would suffer a loss in front of him. When he was busy, he put down what he was doing and rushed to the palace.

Without waiting for him to enter the palace, Emperor Longqing sent someone to send Qi Younian out.

Qin Zhen accompanied Qi You to Xinhuatang to see Ji Xiaotang.

"I believe in you, and I believe in my aunt and grandmother." Qin Zhen said, "This matter must have been admitted by the Queen Mother in person, my aunt and grandmother died, and the Queen Mother felt that there was no proof of death." It's just a no-certification. I'm afraid that when my aunt and grandmother entered the palace and told the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother had other thoughts......"

Qin Zhen said this. I touched my chin.

"She had other thoughts, did she know that her grandmother would not live to the next day?" Ji Xiaotang said.

Her words landed, and the room fell silent.

Qin Zhen and Qi Younian both looked at Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang knew that she had said something terrible. However, this sentence. But it wasn't in a hurry.

"I never believed in coincidences." Ji Xiaotang is categorical.

The diagnosis of the imperial doctors, Qin Min died without illness, but with Qin Min's health condition, she died too suddenly. Immediately afterwards, Empress Dowager Han denied the matter of marriage, which could not help but make Ji Xiaotang even more suspicious.

Qin Zhen and Qi Younian were speechless for a long time, and they began to seriously consider Qin Min's death due to the relationship between the Empress Dowager Han.

"In this world. Maybe there really is a poison that can put people to death. But without leaving a trace. After Qin Zhen was silent for a long time, he slowly raised his head, and there were already dark clouds in his eyes.

Ji Xiaotang suspected that Qin Zhen's emotions did not come entirely from Qin Min's death, but he remembered something even more amazing.

"What do you mean by this?" Ji Xiaotang immediately asked.

Qin Zhen wanted to speak and stopped.

"Lord Wang, is there anything you can't say to me and Ayou?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

"No, it's just...... I just suspect that it is useless to say it, but it is very useless. …… This matter is really strange, and I somewhat agree with Xiaotang's judgment. Qin Zhen said.

He was not fully prepared to say that matter, and the time was not ripe for it.

"Xiaotang, how sure are you of your judgment?" Qi Younian also raised his head at this time, looked at Ji Xiaotang and asked.

Qi Younian's eyes were already red like blood, but on the surface, he was much calmer than when he arrived at Xinhuatang.

In fact, Qi Younian's expression was too calm.

Ji Xiaotang understands Qi Younian, this is Qi Younian's heart hurts to the extreme, and he is also angry to the extreme. Qi Younian is very similar to Ji Xiaotang in one point, both of them are the kind of people whose anger burns to the extreme, but they will be as calm as ice.

"Ayou, let's analyze ...... together" Ji Xiaotang's tone softened, with a sense of appeasement, while inviting Qin Zhen, "Lord Wang's bystanders are clear, and I also ask Lord Wang Ye to help us refer to ...... together."

Qi Younian and Qin Zhen both nodded and said yes.

Ji Xiaotang analyzed it one by one.

First of all, it is Qin Min's attitude.

Qin Min was very happy when she came back from the palace that day, she said a lot of things to Ji Xiaotang, not only told Ji Xiaotang many interesting things about Qi You's childhood, but also many things about the Mighty Marquis Mansion.

In addition, Qin Min also repeatedly told Ji Xiaotang how to take care of Qi Younian and maintain the Mighty Marquis Mansion.

“…… At the time, I thought it was strange, but everyone was so happy that I didn't think about it. Looking back now, my grandmother's repeated admonitions were clearly deathbed instructions. ”

Not only did Ji Xiaotang think so, but Qi Younian also felt the same way when he thought back at this moment.

Qin Min said those words that day, as if he knew that she would pass away soon, and he couldn't see Qi Younian and Ji Xiaotang with his own eyes, so he had to arrange everything behind him.

She completely entrusted the Mighty Marquis Mansion to Qi Younian and Ji Xiaotang.

And if you think about it, this is not very appropriate. The mighty Marquis and Mrs. Marquis are still there, and the mighty Marquis Mansion is also impressive in the hands of the two.

What Qin Min told was in the future. And in this case, she should wait until later, or when she is dying, or when the mighty marquis and his wife pass away.

The mighty Marquis and his wife are in their prime, so there is only one possibility for what Qin Min said.

Qin Min knew that she was going to die.

This time. Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian no longer have the heart to think about the marriage.

"Ayou, we need to see Mama Kong again." Ji Xiaotang immediately stood up and said.

Although she had asked Mama Kong, Mama Kong also said that Qin Min did not have any abnormalities. But Ji Xiaotang felt that she could ask more details.

Although she and Qi Younian respect Qin Min, they are not the people who get along with Qin Min day and night, nor are they the people who accompanied Qin Min when she was dying, such people are only Mama Kong.

If Qin Min had any abnormalities, Mama Kong was the only one who could detect it.

"Xiaotang. We thought of one. Qi Younian nodded immediately.

If Qin Min is cause of death is different, then the people who serve Qin Min in the Jingci Nunnery, especially Mama Kong. It can be dangerous.

In order to protect Mama Kong, Qi Younian and Ji Xiaotang met with Mama Kong, which was naturally arranged very secretly.

"Please think about it carefully...... Ji Xiaotang didn't tell Mama Kong why, only asked Mama Kong to leave her and Qi Younian. to find out that Qin Min died. Everything in between, is told in detail.

Mama Kong's eyes swept over Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian's faces, she didn't ask anything, she followed Ji Xiaotang's request and slowly recalled.

Mama Kong's mind is indeed very detailed.

However, Qin Min really didn't show anything unusual.

If you have to say something different......

"Originally, after dinner, the princess didn't like too many people to serve, and I was usually left alone." But after dinner that day, Qin Min said he was happy. Many were left to serve in the house.

Even the last person who gave Qin Min a night duty was not only Mama Kong.

Originally, Qin Min also arranged another person. Let Mama Kong go to recuperate, or Mama Kong herself must have asked for it, so she stayed in the outer room of Qin Min's bedroom.

"In other words, since Ayou and I left, Mama has never been alone with my grandmother." Ji Xiaotang asked.

"Yes." Mama Kong nodded, this is indeed the case.

"Mama think about it carefully, what else ......" Ji Xiaotang lowered his head and thought about it, and asked Mama Kong again.

"In addition...... there is indeed another ......," Mama Kong said slowly, "Yesterday the princess rested, and I also served." The princess specially asked people to take out the apricot red middle coat and put it on......"

"Apricot red midcoat, what's so special?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

Mama Kong nodded.

"That middle coat was often worn by the princess when she first married the old marquis, and later the princess didn't wear it much when she got older. The princess was generous, and many of the clothes of her youth were rewarded or simply thrown away. Only the middle coat, the princess was reluctant, so I put it away very carefully. …… The old marquis is gone, and the princess came here, and specially asked me to take that dress with me, but I didn't wear it anymore. This season, usually the princess rests, and she only wears **, but on that day, she specially asked for a middle coat......"

And it was deliberately taken out of the bottom of the box, a middle coat that had not been worn for many years.

According to Mama Kong, when Qin Min was pregnant with Qi Younian's father, she wore that middle coat.

At that time, it should have been the time when Qin Min and the old marquis were the most affectionate.

When Qin Min was decorated and buried, the rest of the clothes were new, only the old middle coat was still left on Qin Min's body. Qin Min did not leave a corresponding instruction, this was Mama Kong's own initiative, and Mama Kong also confessed to Qi Younian and Ji Xiaotang at this time.

"So, did grandmother say something similar to what she told her on her deathbed?" Ji Xiaotang asked again.

Mama Kong cried again.

"The princess only said that Young Master Ayou and the county lord got married, which was the last thing she did for the Hou Mansion. He also smiled and told me, let me rest assured, even if she walks in front of me in the future, I don't have to worry about it at all, everything has Ayou and the county lord. ”

This sentence seemed to be something that Qin Min said almost jokingly when he was happy, but now from a different angle, it was not Qin Min's instructions and arrangements to his confidants when he was dying.

Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian asked Mama Kong a lot of questions, and Mama Kong answered them one by one, but other than that, they didn't ask anything.

However, Ji Xiaotang had already faintly felt that Mama Kong knew something.

Perhaps, for Qin Min's death, Mama Kong was the first person to be suspicious.

After asking Mama Kong, Qi Younian and Ji Xiaotang have already made a judgment in their hearts.

What did Qin Min and Empress Dowager Han say specifically. Or what deal they made, they have no way of knowing, they only know one thing. Qin Min died at the hands of the Empress Dowager Han.

And Empress Dowager Han completely denied the marriage after Qin Min's death.

Qi Younian and Ji Xiaotang's family affair should have been exchanged for Qin Min's life.

"Ayou, we must avenge our grandmother." Ji Xiaotang said softly.

"We'll avenge our grandmother." Qi Younian also said softly.

The hands of the two men were clasped together.

Mama Kong listened and watched from the side, and at this time she cried again.

With Qi Younian and Ji Xiaotang, Qin Min can be comforted after his death.

"Young Master Ayou, Lord Xiaotang County. The princess has passed away. The princess must not want you to avenge her, the princess must hope. You can live well and happily. Mama Kong said with tears in her eyes.

"Mama, you don't know yet, Ayou just went into the palace to see the Empress Dowager Han." Ji Xiaotang told Mama Kong.

Mama Kong looked surprised.

"Empress Dowager Han denied that my grandmother entered the palace to marry Xiaotang and me, and she also denied that she would get married." Qi Younian continued.

"Ahh Mama Kong exclaimed softly, "She, how can she!" ”

Oh, yes. How could Empress Dowager Han do this. But that's what she did.

"Mama, you prepare, and I'll arrange for you to leave." Qi Younian said suddenly.

Mama Kong was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood.

"No, I'm not leaving." Mama Kong was very stubborn, "If I leave, no matter how seamless the arrangement between Young Master Ayou and the county lord of Xiaotang is, Empress Dowager Han is suspicious." You will doubt that you know the truth. At that time, you will be in danger. ”

Qin Min didn't show any abnormality. In order to protect the people around him, there are also Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian.

Mama Kong also decided that she would treat it as if she had nothing to do.

"I'll stay here, and if she wants to kill me, I'll kill it. What the princess didn't finish, I did for the princess. Mama Kong's soft face showed a resolute look.

Mama Kong has been serving by Qin Min's side since she was a child, so to this day, it is customary to call Qin Min a princess and Qin Min's husband a marquis.

As for what Qin Min didn't finish, it was naturally whitewashing, not out of cowardice, but out of love.

Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian couldn't convince Mama Kong, the two of them were in a hurry to persuade her, and Mama Kong simply said that she was going to commit suicide and martyr Qin Min.

Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian exchanged glances, and could only nod helplessly.

"Mama must take care." Before Ji Xiaotang left, he instructed Mama Kong, "Mama also hopes to see that day with her own eyes, doesn't she?" ”

Ji Xiaotang didn't say what day it was, but Mama Kong understood.

Mama Kong nodded heavily.

That's the agreement.

When Ji Xiaotang returned to Xinhuatang from Jingci'an, she had to reconsider the problems she was facing.

Without Qin Min, Empress Dowager Han issued a decree to let her enter the palace, and she could only enter the palace.

That's the reality.

Qi Younian naturally refused, he could already have a hunch that if Ji Xiaotang entered the palace, then the two would never be together again in this life.

"The great military exploits of the Mighty Marquis Mansion...... Qi Younian wanted to use the exploits of the Mighty Marquis Mansion for several generations to ask the Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing for a Ji Xiaotang.

Qin Zhen was the first to disagree: "Don't be like this." ”

Qin Min's example is ahead.

"Now that the court is employing people, the Queen Mother and Her Majesty will not destroy the Great Wall. The Queen Mother and Her Majesty will not move Ayou, and they will not move the people of the Mighty Marquis Mansion, but it does not mean that they will not move the Ji family and Xiaotang. ”

If Qi Younian made a desperate attempt to make such a request, the most likely outcome would be......

Ji Xiaotang will die.

may not die without a disease like Qin Min, but there are too many accidents in this world that can kill people.

Qin Zhen did not allow Qi Younian to put Ji Xiaotang in such a dangerous situation.

Qi Younian understood, of course, he didn't want to do this.

"What then?" Qi Younian's gaze fell on Qin Zhen's body, "Fourth brother ......"

What if Qin Zhen is willing to help them.

"Ayou, Xiaotang, it's not that I won't help you."

Qin Zhen was not willing to fulfill Qi Younian and Ji Xiaotang, and took a step back and said, even if he was willing to fulfill it, he would not be able to do it.

Qin Min is an example.

Empress Dowager Han seems to have made up her mind to treat Ji Xiaotang as a chess piece and hold it firmly in her own hands.

"I'll go into the palace." Ji Xiaotang said suddenly.

Not only Qi Younian was surprised, but Qin Zhen was also surprised.

"Xiaotang, how can you enter the palace!" Qi Younian was not only worried that after Ji Xiaotang entered the palace, the two would no longer be able to be together, but he was also very worried about Ji Xiaotang's personal safety in the palace.

Qin Zhen was surprised, he didn't think that Ji Xiaotang was such an easy person to give up.

Ji Xiaotang ignored Qin Zhen, but patiently comforted Qi Younian.

"Ayou, if I don't enter the palace, it's to resist the decree. Empress Dowager Han can justifiably dispose of me and my family. "So, she can only enter the palace." After entering the palace, I will see the opportunity to act, and maybe I can still get a glimmer of life for us. ”

It was difficult to persuade Qi Younian, but Ji Xiaotang finally did it.

Qin Min's coffin is still in Jingci Nunnery, and there are still many things for Qi Younian to deal with, so Ji Er personally sent someone to send Qi Younian back to Jingci Nunnery.

Qin Zhen didn't go with Qi Younian.

"Xiaotang, what do you think?" Qin Zhen asked Ji Xiaotang.

"Lord Wang, what else can I think." Ji Xiaotang smiled, but there was no hint of joy. "The situation is stronger than the people."

In fact, Qin Zhen also knew that Ji Xiaotang had no other choice but to enter the palace.

"Ayou may not be willing to accept the facts." Qin Zhen paused slightly before speaking.

"Slowly, we will accept it, and maybe we still have hope."

Qin Zhen was a little unbearable.

"Xiaotang......, it's not that I won't help you."

"I know." Ji Xiaotang is not a false word, she really thinks so, "We all have times when we can't help ourselves, Ayou, I, the prince, ......"

and Qin Min.

Qin Min is an old man who loves life and is healthy, if she can live, how can she be willing to die easily. Qin Min was also involuntarily, she chose the most advantageous path for the Mighty Marquis Mansion, Qi Younian and Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang also has to choose a path, which is most beneficial to himself, and can push the enemy to a dead end step by step. (To be continued......)
