Chapter II
"Yi'er, do you still know to come back? I didn't come home all night last night, where did I go? Didn't you say you'll be back soon? I saw that all the Qin family's family was waiting for Qin Yi in the inner hall.
Qin's father was angry, although his daughter was stubborn, she didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Now he doesn't go home all night, this is going to get out, where is his old face!
As soon as Qin Yi saw this scene, he was like a prisoner's yamen, and instantly became serious, and began to brew his own set of dramas, "Daddy, don't you love Yi'er?" As he spoke, he began to sob.
"Hey, good daughter, how can there be?" When Father Qin saw his daughter crying, his face relaxed just now, and he wiped his tears for his daughter distressedly.
Thinking of Yi'er's biological mother dying of illness at an early age, a sense of guilt arose. So on weekdays, no matter what requirements Yi'er has, she will be satisfied, and she is simply spoiled to the extreme.
"Then why don't you send someone out to find me? I was bitten by poison in the wild and fell into a coma all night, and no one cared about me, woo! Saying that, Qin Yi cried even more fiercely, this kind of emotional outburst, Qin Yi had been brewing for a long time on the way back!
"I searched for it, but I didn't find it! How can such a thing be fanfare! After all, as a father, you have to think about your reputation! You also know that we are also people with heads and faces, and it is always undignified to be talked about, right? It's good that you'll be able to come back safely, but it doesn't matter if you're injured! Although Father Qin was a little ridiculous about his daughter's failure to return overnight, he was also a little comforted to be able to return safely, and did not delve into his daughter's coma.
"It doesn't matter, I've already applied the medicine, and I'll be cured after two days of cultivation!" Qin Yi cried as he spoke, like a river bursting its embankment, out of control. It seems that the play is a bit too much! This made Father Qin even more distressed.
"Master, this girl, just run around if you have nothing to do. I don't go home all day, I treat Qinfu as an inn, I don't look like a girl's house at all, and I tinker with those herbs all day long. The dignified Shangshu Mansion is similar to a medicine hall, and every time a guest comes to our house, he thinks he has entered the wrong place, hum! I only heard that my stepmother Qin began to complain again, and my stepmother was actually a knife mouth and a tofu heart, so she complained and complained, and there was nothing bad about it.
"Okay, you see that Yi'er is injured, and you still talk about her!" I only heard that Father Qin tried his best to defend Qin Yi. turned to Qin Yi and continued: "You have a good rest for the past two days, don't go to Lingyun Study and Yong'an Hall, I think your senior brother should take care of it, go back to the house to rest!" Xiao Rou, hurry up and help the young lady into the house and cook some ginseng soup! ”
"Yes, sir!" Xiao Rou obeyed the order and helped the young lady back to the house.
"Miss, miss, what the hell is going on! Didn't you say you'd be back soon! Why is it injured, this is not like you, our young lady has excellent medical skills, anyone can be injured, you are injured, why don't I believe it at all! I can deceive them, but I can't deceive them, so let's talk about it, recruit from the truth! With that, Xiao Rou pulled Qin Yi, who was tired, and asked.
"Xiaorou, you deserve to be my good sister, I can't hide anything from you! I'm so tired, you let me rest well, and then I'll tell you about my adventures! As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yi fell asleep, looking really tired, as if he hadn't slept all night.
Xiao Rou looked at the young lady who fell into a deep sleep and shook her head. So he helped the young lady take off her boots, straightened the young lady, covered the quilt, turned around and gently closed the door and went out.
"Master, this girl is not small, it's time to get married! You said that she was playing crazy outside all day long, and if she became a family, I believe she should be a little more restrained! The stepmother said seriously.
"Indeed, it's not small. This is really going to get married, and it's really a bit reluctant! Father Qin said embarrassedly.
"Master, what you said! It seems that he wants to marry our Yi'er to the outside! Don't worry, we won't marry far away, in Chang'an City, the prefect who is an official in the same dynasty as you, Shangshu, if there are unmarried people in their families, you can pay attention to them. The stepmother happily suggested.
"Hey, okay, I'll pay attention to what you say! However, there is a suitable candidate, and we have to agree, you also know her, if she is unwilling to do something, no one can do anything about her, this character is really the same as her mother, hehe! Father Qin said as he stroked his beard and smiled.
"Hmph, I know, I know your baby daughter all day long. You also think about Tian'er, he is also your child! Stepmother Qin said jealously.
"Oh, ma'am, I don't treat you well, what is there not to be satisfied with?" Father Qin looked helpless, not knowing what to do.
A shrill voice came from Qin Yi's boudoir, "Ah, miss, you mean you spent the night with a strange man?" Xiao Rou looked shocked and couldn't believe it.
"Xiaorou, can't you be quieter? Are you afraid that others won't know? "This little soft has a sharp voice, it's really condescending not to sing!
"I spent the night with this strange boy. But that's to save him! Don't forget, I am a practitioner of medicine, and it is only natural that I will cure diseases and save people! Besides, the two of us are innocent, nothing happened. I don't know what you're surprised about! However, this boy is really handsome, I don't dare to look at his face! But Miss, I am also self-aware, how can people take a fancy to me? Qin Yi said with a stunned expression.
"Since the young lady is obsessed with that son, why did she tell the other party her fake address and name? How did that boy find you? Xiao Rou looked puzzled.
"Who is in love with him, I just have never seen such a handsome son, and if you pay more attention, you will talk a lot. Also, I didn't know where he came from at the time, only that he asked me to call him Dustboy, and I thought that this person's identity must be very complicated, and I didn't want to get too entangled with him. So, I didn't tell you anything, which is normal! Qin Yi raised his voice as hard as he could to hide his slowly blushing face.
"And say no, miss, you're blushing, hehe!" Xiao Rou smiled and quipped, as long as the young lady blushes when she lies, and she still says that she doesn't like it?
"All right, Miss! The old man specially ordered someone to cook ginseng soup, so drink it quickly! With that, Xiao Rou picked up a bowl of ginseng soup from the table and walked to the young lady sitting on the bed.
"Hehe, our young lady is really good-looking, I feel sorry for you, who said you are not worthy of that son! I think it's the emperor's relatives, and you are more than enough! Xiao Rou said sweetly, this little girl is sweet.
"Okay, it's sweet for you. Oh, by the way, in the past two days, I haven't gone to Lingyun Study and Yong'an Hall, how about over there? Qin Yi looked anxious.
"Don't worry, miss. The master has already sent someone to send a message to Brother Ling Feng, saying that you have been recuperating at home in the past two days due to the cold and cannot go, so you have already handed over all the matters to Brother Ling Feng. However, Brother Ling Feng, knowing that you are sick, is very anxious, and he even sent someone to send a bunch of tonics, which is very attentive to you! ”
"It's really hard work, brother. In the past two days, I have also rested enough. Xiao Rou, go and help me sharpen the ink, and by the way, bring my medicine basket over, I have to record the herbs as soon as possible, and I will go to Yong'an Hall tomorrow! With that, he walked to the study.
Mu Jingchen comes to worship his biological mother every year, and this time he was delayed for some time because he met an assassin on the road, "Mother, the child has come to see you." The child is really unfilial, and he has not been able to find your murderer so far! But don't worry, mother, in my lifetime, I will definitely find your murderer and pay tribute to your spirit in the sky! ”
Mu Jingchen knelt in front of an imperial mausoleum with a sad face, remembering the happy times with his mother when he was a child, and he couldn't believe that his mother, who was healthy at that time, would suddenly die of a vicious disease.
As he grew older, and he was born in the emperor's family, he was even more convinced that his mother was assassinated, but he couldn't find the murderer at present, and he gave his mother justice.
"Your Highness, you are derelict in your duties, and please punish Your Highness!" As soon as Qingyan saw Mu Jingchen, he knelt down on one knee behind Mu Jingchen.
"Get up, it's not your fault, it's no surprise that you're assassinated at this time of year. It's just that the means are as clumsy as ever, and this little ability, this prince still doesn't take it seriously! Mu Jingchen said with a disdainful face, as the crown prince, the power is under one person and above ten thousand, and he can inherit the unification in the future.
It is a matter of course to be regarded as a thorn in the side by those who are consumed by profit. As Mu Jingchen spoke, the sword wound on his shoulder throbbed for a while, causing him to frown slightly.
"Your Highness, are you injured? Let me see! Qing Yan looked anxious to see Mu Jingchen's wound, but was stopped.
"Out of the way, the masked men smeared poison on their knives, but luckily a girl who went to the mountains to collect medicine saved me. I don't deserve to die, I have to thank people well! Qingyan, you go to No. 8 Chang'an West Street tomorrow, prepare a generous gift, and find a girl named Yi. When I saw it, I gave it to her, and said that I was grateful for the saving grace that day, and she would understand. The girl's birth was fresh and refined, and it was estimated that such mundane things as jewelry could not enter her eyes. She is a healer, and she must like precious medicinal herbs and some medical books, so you can prepare these! Mu Jingchen remembered the smart face yesterday, and he felt joy, and the corners of his mouth rose unnaturally.
"Yes, Your Highness, your subordinates obey! Oh, by the way, Your Highness, you asked me to investigate Leng Changqing Leng Xiangguo, and he really has a problem. This time, the Xianyang flood, the imperial court allocated a large amount of silver taels to control the water, but the local county government did not receive this batch of disaster relief funds, it seems that someone embezzled from it, and it was Leng Xiangguo who was responsible for this matter. ”
"Well, keep an eye on me, collect all the evidence of this old fox's crimes, and bring him down together. Disaster to the country and the people, intending to control the dynasty, now even his father and emperor are beginning to suspect him, but there is no evidence. By the way, you must pay attention to safety when collecting evidence. Leng Xiangguo is an old and cunning man, with a deep foundation, and it is really not a matter of one or two days to shake this giant tree. Most of the ministers in the court were members of his party, and he may have colluded with King Ning. The slightest change in our movement will surely stir up a thousand waves. Nine times out of ten, the dead soldiers sent to assassinate me are their handiwork, so you must take care of everything! ”
"Your Highness, don't worry, Qingyan's life is His Highness's, and he will live up to His Highness's trust!" Qingyan remembered that he had been fatherless and motherless since he was a child, wandering on the streets, but fortunately he was rescued by His Royal Highness and was able to survive to this day. Otherwise, he would have starved to death on the streets, and His Royal Highness's life-saving grace would not be able to be repaid by Qingyan in this life.
"Here you are again, although you were rescued by me. However, I have always treated you as a brother, and those words of gratitude should not be on my lips all the time! Mu Jingchen looked at this subordinate helplessly and continued: "Okay, we have to leave to rush back to Chang'an immediately, there are still many things to deal with!" ”
"Yes, Your Highness!" So saying, they mounted their horses and rode away.
There was another burst of abuse in King Ning's mansion, "What! None of the people sent survived? A group of waste, so many people can't deal with a single Mu Jingchen, the hateful thing is that it is like this every year! I only heard the angry look on Ning Wang Mujing's face, and he was so angry that he went crazy.
"Lord Wang, dissipate your anger, your imperial brother is not easy to deal with. But our perseverance in the assassination will one day succeed! Leng Xiangguo comforted calmly.
"Someday, someday, what day is it? Is it waiting for the day when he Mu Jingchen ascends the throne as emperor! Mu Jingzhi roared loudly. Assassinated so many times, but failed again and again, this is a great shame for King Ning.
"Calm down, lord! Now that you've failed, what's the use of repenting? Why not discuss what to do next? The old minister remembered that the prince was an adult, and it was time to choose a concubine. If you want to relieve your anger, why not take this opportunity to do something at his concubine selection ceremony! The scheming Leng Xiangguo stroked his beard and smiled treacherously at the dazed King Ning, who instantly understood what he meant.
