After Su Qin heard this, he felt that things were not good, and he didn't know what was going on. I went to see Tang Qi with trepidation.

As soon as Su Qin entered Tang Qi's room, he saw Tang Qi immediately jump up and said sharply: "I clearly ordered you yesterday to go to the Empress Dowager Palace to patrol in person, but you were lazy and only sent two guards over, and as a result, the Empress Dowager Palace lost a pair of priceless jade pendants last night." ”

The more he scolded, the more energetic he became: "What are you doing eating and drinking, as a doctor in the middle palace, you can't even do a patrol duty, I think you don't want to do it!" ”

After Su Qin heard this, his heart was excited, and he said in his heart: "Which guard told Tang Qi the truth that he didn't go on patrol, it's really difficult to guard against thieves." ”

Su Qin hurriedly apologized: "I was also entangled in official duties for a while, and I really lacked skills, so I forgot to go to the Empress Dowager Palace to patrol." ”

Tang Qi narrowed his eyes and scolded loudly, "Why haven't you forgotten to eat and sleep?" It is your duty to patrol, and you are so negligent in your public duties, so I will show you how you will be punished! ”

Su Qin heard that Tang Qi was going to report to Yanhou, and he didn't want to make a big deal about it, so he held the attitude of calming things down, and said with a smile: "Why is Tang Zhongshu so angry, I will definitely go to patrol in person tonight to ensure that similar things don't happen again, and ask Tang Zhongshu to calm his anger." ”

Tang Qi looked at Su Qin fixedly, his eyes rolling around. Su Qin caught a glimpse of his ill-intentioned expression, and felt that he must be pondering some bad idea, and thought, "This person is really a bad belly, it's really not a thing!" ”

Tang Qi said: "If you repeatedly neglect your official duties, if you don't punish you, you won't be able to improve your memory." Tonight you are to go on patrol in person, and you are not allowed to rest all night, and you are not allowed to change shifts. Did you hear that? ”

Su Qin was angry in his heart and secretly scolded Tang Qi for being a bad thing, but he still couldn't hold it back, so Su Qin replied: "I must obey Tang Zhongshu's orders and stay in the Empress Dowager's Palace tonight." ”

Tang Qi stared at Su Qin again, Su Qin saw that he stopped talking, clenched his fists, and said hastily: "Since Zhongshu has nothing else to do, I will leave first." ”

As he spoke, he walked out, accidentally tripped over the door frame and almost fell, but Su Qin still stabilized his body and hurriedly ran away.

After Su Qin went back, he sent someone to find Ning Jun again and explained the situation to him, Ning Jun was a little angry and scolded Tang Qi for being boring.

Su Qin said: "It seems that I really want to go on patrol tonight, but I have to be on duty all night, I don't believe that anyone can go in and steal things, see what Tang Qi says tomorrow." ”

Ning Jun looked at Su Qin worriedly and said, "It's a cold winter now, it's very cold outside the house, plus Yan Country is located in the north, and the cold is pressing at night, can Mr. stand it?" ”

Su Qin sighed and said, "If you can't stand it, you have to bear it, who let us be on this errand." You don't have to worry about me, I can handle it. ”

Ning Jun looked at Su Qin, his eyes were full of pity, and he shook his head helplessly.

That night, Su Qin also personally went to the Empress Dowager Palace to patrol all night. Ning Jun was right, the night of the middle of winter in Yan Kingdom was so cold that people couldn't stand it, and Su Qin couldn't stand outside the Queen Mother's Palace.

Because as soon as he stood down, his body was cold, so he trotted around the Queen Mother's Palace all night, and kept warm by moving his body.

When he really wanted to sleep in the second half of the night, Su Qin stood down, and as soon as his body was cold, he suddenly became excited, temporarily eliminated his sleepiness, and continued to trot for a while.

In this way, Su Qin stayed up until dawn, he didn't close his eyes all night, and he didn't see anyone entering or leaving the Empress Dowager's Palace.

After the sky was bright, Su Qin rubbed his sleepy eyes, dragged his stiff, hard, sore and sore legs, returned to the office in the northeast corner of the palace, lay on the seat in his kimono, and fell asleep.

Su Qin had just slept for more than an hour, and it was past breakfast time, and Su Qin was still asleep, when the little eunuch came in from outside, and he woke up Su Qin.

He shouted to Su Qin: "Wake up quickly, get up quickly, Tang Zhongshu ordered you to go quickly, saying that there is something very urgent to tell you." ”

Su Qin was reluctant in his heart, but his reason reminded him that it would be better to go and see Tang Qi. Therefore, Su Qin sneezed, rubbed his temples with a faint pain, and followed the eunuch to Tang Qi's house.

As soon as Su Qin entered the room, he felt that the atmosphere was not right, and he saw that Tang Qi was not sitting in his seat, but standing there.

When he saw Su Qin enter the house, he jumped to his feet and scolded: "Let you personally go on patrol all night, and you yourself promised to take care of it, and you slipped away halfway for it." ”

Su Qin felt aggrieved in his heart, so he defended: "I have been patrolling all night, and my legs still hurt now, because it was cold last night and trotted outside the palace all night." I didn't leave the Empress Dowager until dawn. ”

Tang Qi pointed at Su Qin with his finger and continued to scold: "You still dare to quibble, I went to the Empress Dowager Palace at dawn, where is your figure, the palace maids in the Empress Dowager Palace have not seen any trace of you, you have obviously slipped away." ”

Tang Qi pointed at Su Qin and scolded: "Let me tell you, the Empress Dowager lost another phoenix crown last night, which is a treasure given to the Empress Dowager by the first monarch." Losing the phoenix crown is your dereliction of duty. ”

Su Qin didn't believe it at this time: the loss of this phoenix crown had anything to do with him.

He said truthfully: "We, the palace guards, are only on guard, and there are many concubines and palace maids in the palace, and only they can enter and leave the palaces. If the phoenix crown is lost, the biggest suspect is the internal thief, which is impossible to prevent. There's nothing we can do about it. ”

When Tang Qi heard this, he immediately became angry and scolded: "Of course you guards want to prevent theft, this is a clear article written on the law, don't you even dare to recognize this?" ”

"Now because of your slipping, the Queen Mother Palace has lost a major treasure, you still don't want to repent, but shirk your responsibility with clever words, what are your intentions, do you still have Yanhou in your eyes, and the Queen Mother?"

Su Qin originally wanted to remind Tang Qi and ask him to pay attention to the concubines and palace maids in the palace, don't keep staring at the guards, but he didn't expect it to arouse Tang Qi's anger so much.

Su Qin was a little puzzled, feeling that Tang Qi was deliberately finding fault. Therefore, Su Qin was also full of anger and did not say a word.

Tang Qi said coldly again: "Okay, okay, I can't control you Su Qin, but there is always someone who can control you, I'll go and report to you, you wait." ”

Tang Qi said, and walked down from the seat, he had been standing, so he walked down the seat quickly, he went to the door to put on his socks, and was about to go out.

Although Su Qin was also angry at this time, he still didn't want to make things out of control, he told Tang Qi again to be obedient, and wanted him to stop and discuss again.
