No one answered for a while.

The old general was also puzzled, just now the people in the house crossed him and went directly into the house to find Xue Tan, and his expression was excited.

He was supposed to be the emperor Laozi, but when he came out to take a look, he found that it was Yin Qingqi.

The old general couldn't tell how he felt, he tore up Xue Tan's painting last time, and he was already a little embarrassed.

He's kind of the first to lose.

However, he thought that as an elder, he could not lose his place in front of these two people, and he coughed dryly twice, so that they could notice that he was still here.

Xue Tan looked at the scene in front of him and felt that he still needed to break the deadlock in the end.

"If you want to say it here, that's fine, or go out and say it."

The appearance of the old general can be regarded as a step back for Xue Tan.

How could he forget the unpleasant memories that this general's mansion brought to Yin Qingqi?

Yin Qingqi really didn't want to step into the general's mansion again, she simply asked neatly: "I think you should also have some understanding of the things in the court today, so I want to ask you something."

Before Yin Qingqi could say what was the matter, Xue Tan interrupted her: "It's related to Qi Yuan, right?"

Yes, definitely.

At this juncture, there is only the fever of changing the prince, and Yin Qingqi can't have any other questions besides asking about Qi Yuan.

Yin Qingqi nodded without any hesitation.

There is nothing to hide, Xue Tan is so smart, he can guess at once.

"Are those rumors true now?" Yin Qingqi stared at Xue Tan.

For fear of missing a trace of his expression.

Yin Qingqi believes that as long as Xue Tan lies, she can still see it.

"You can't ask that. If I say that Qi Yuan is dead, do you believe it? Xue Tan asked Yin Qingqi thoughtlessly.

"You're lying to me." She didn't say she didn't believe it, she only said that Xue Tan was lying to her.

"I don't know what the rumors you heard are, I'm in the General's Mansion almost every day now." Xue Tan paused, not knowing what he was waiting for. Then he said: "But I still have some concerns about the affairs of the imperial court."

Xue Tan just noticed, and when he said that when he stayed in the General's Mansion all day, Yin Qingqi's eyes dimmed a little.

After hearing his later words, Yin Qingqi cheered up and listened to him continue.

"It's true that Qi Yuan went to Changzhou, and it's also true that there was another earthquake in Changzhou, as for whether he died, I don't know." He just lost contact with the imperial court, which does not mean that a big living person has disappeared in vain.

Yin Qingqi has been listening to Xue Tan quietly.

"It's true that the emperor is planning to find the next candidate, you know, after cultivating the prince for so many years, the emperor can't sit still." It makes sense that this has always been the case.

Yin Qingqi nodded.

"They said that Qi Yuan was dead, but they were just alarmists, and they may not have understood why the emperor should pay attention to other elder brothers." Xue Tan had already told Yin Qingqi everything he could think of.

Yin Qingqi's heart was still hanging, but she was much more relieved, and the result that Xue Tan said was actually her guess.

"Okay, Miss, you've finished asking all the questions you want to ask, right?" Xue Tan smiled, still the same as before.

There is also a hint of pampering in the immodest manner.

"Shall we go to dinner together after asking? You can go anywhere, if you don't want to stay in the house, then we can go out to eat, you can choose the location, I will treat you. Xue Tan clapped his hands, waiting for Yin Qingqi's answer.

Yin Qingqi hesitated for a moment.

She certainly wouldn't want to be here. Moreover, she is not in the mood to eat now.

Yin Qingqi suddenly reacted, since she knew about it, she hadn't eaten yet.

It didn't mean anything else, she just wasn't hungry.

"No need." In the past, when she was in the General's Mansion, she would agree to whatever Xue Tan said, but now she is used to refusing.

Yin Qingqi looked at Xue Tan with a lost face, remembering that he had just patiently explained to himself for a long time, after thinking about it, he still added: "Next time."

Xue Tan's eyes lit up, and he heard Yin Qingqi say, "When Qi Yuan comes back, I will invite you to the East Palace." Go to Qingmu Palace. ”

In fact, Xue Tan always liked to use the word "next time" when rejecting others before.

Anyway, no one else knows which time it will be next.

It's like when he rejected Ding Yufu at the beginning, he also said that he would redeem her next time.

He knew that next time it might just be her casual remark.

However, Xue Tan was looking forward to it, and he hoped that Yin Qingqi would be different.

After Xue Tan heard that Yin Qingqi solemnly invited him to the East Palace, he knew that she was serious.

More serious than everybody's next time.

It's just that you have to wait until Qi Yuan comes back.

Will Qi Yuan come back?

Xue Tan couldn't say it well, he wasn't optimistic about Qi Yuan's life and death, or rather, he didn't care about it, but after Yin Qingqi said such a sentence, he hoped that Qi Yuan would come back alive.

It's a little humble, a little distressed about myself.

Yin Qingqi didn't know that when she invited Xue Tan just now, it was as if she was the hostess of the East Palace.

In fact, Xue Tan didn't notice this either.

After Yin Qingqi said goodbye to Xue Tan, he rushed back to the East Palace directly.

Now Siniang is the only one in the East Palace, and she still needs to go back to accompany Siniang. What's more, the maids and guards in the East Palace may have already talked about it.

However, when she rushed back, she found that the truth was still far from what she thought.

Siniang sat at the gate of Qingmu Palace and looked at the pool in a daze, since Siniang adapted to the life of Qingmu Palace, she has always been like this.

The people in the house are doing what they are supposed to do step by step, and they are still the same as before.

is worthy of being a person trained by Qi Yuan, Yin Qingqi praised silently in his heart.

However, Yin Qingqi also knew in his heart that these people still seemed to be calm on the surface, and maybe their hearts had already been turned upside down.

That had nothing to do with her, she just needed to maintain a semblance of calm now.

Before Yin Qingqi went to Xue Tan in the morning, she had thought a lot and planned a lot.

She has already pushed off all the tasks of practicing martial arts in the past few days, and plans to send Siniang back to the Jinghong Pavilion first.

There were so many plans for her that before she could start, suddenly the guards at the door came to report.

said that the palace sent someone to send someone to pick up Yin Qingqi, which was the emperor's order.

Yin Qingqi was a little surprised, except for Qi Yuan, she had never dealt with the royal family.

But now that the emperor's orders have been passed here, she can't resist the decree.

Yin Qingqi prepared a little, said a word to Siniang, and followed the people sent by the emperor on the road.

Just a few steps away, the emperor's palace was now in front of her eyes.
