Fourth, the first move
The sky was slightly bright, with a hint of coolness, "Miss." Don't take a break without a break? Qiu Qi was meticulous enough to help Zheng Wan make up.
Zheng Wan lowered her eyebrows and played with the bracelet in her hand, "Go out in the morning to pick some dew, my father likes to drink the tea it makes." ”
"Miss told Qiu to beg, why bother yourself with such a trivial matter." Autumn begging is inserted into a wooden hairpin, simple and generous.
Zheng Wan smiled, looked at herself in the mirror, and really wanted to thank her singer for giving her a good skin. I didn't think it before, but now that I think about it, there may be unexpected benefits. touched his face, his skin was delicate, and he smiled at the bronze mirror, breaking people's heartstrings, "Qiu Qi, today is the day when the third brother goes home." ”
"October 14." Qiu Qi thought for a while, "Well, this is the third young master returning home from the palace on an errand." The cloudy day is the Xia Yuan Festival, and when the time comes, the house will be lively again. ”
"Let's go. If it's late, you can't pick a good one. Zheng Wan urged.
"No." Qiu Qi picked up the collector and followed out.
Ning Yan, who had been stunned all night, finally came back to her senses, and Zheng Wan really had the heart to get up and follow.
The late autumn morning gives people a cool atmosphere, and the whole garden is still silent. Zheng Wan collected the dew extremely seriously, and inadvertently exuded an extraordinary temperament. In a moment, a lot has been collected.
"Qiu Qi, let's go back. This dew is enough to make tea. ”
"No." Qiu Qi took the teapot, "Go back and start cooking?" ”
"Well, send it over as soon as I return to my father.
After Zheng Wan really sent the tea, Ning Yan became strange, didn't Zheng Wan say something, didn't do something, and really only talked about the tea when she sent the tea. Ning Yan followed behind Zheng Wan boredly. After delivering tea, stroll through the promenade, very leisurely.
"Third brother." Zheng Wan shouted sweetly, and Ning Yan looked up at the man not far away.
"It's Wan'er." Zheng Pingxin is dressed in armor, has been practicing martial arts and leading soldiers all year round, his skin is darker, his eyebrows are a little more solemn, and he looks older than his actual age.
"The third brother just came back from the palace?" Zheng Wan motioned for Qiu Qi to leave first.
Although Zheng Pingxin is a martial artist, he treats his family very gently, and smiled, "Well, I have been on an errand in the palace these days, and I haven't had time to replace it when I come back." Wan'er just came from her father? Glancing at the road behind Zheng Wan.
"Well, I got up early today and picked dew to make some tea for my father, and I just delivered tea from there."
"Wan'er really has a heart."
"Hey, Wan'er is very worried when she sees her father frowning these days. But I don't know what to do, and these little things didn't make my father brow. Zheng Wan's eyebrows were full of worry.
"Oh?" Zheng Pingxin was also a little sad when he heard this.
"Third brother." Zheng Wan frowned and bit her lip, "Is my father still worried about the second brother's affairs?" ”
"How so? Everyone knows that it was just a spy pretending to be the second brother, and the second brother had been buried in the ancestral grave of the Zheng family three years ago. Do you believe Liang Chu's words? Besides, if it is really the second brother, how can the eldest brother go to the battlefield and shoot the so-called hostages, his own brother, how can he do it. Zheng Pingxin shook his head firmly.
"Yes." Zheng Wan seemed to be a little worried, "But the woman in prison." ”
"The woman in prison? The woman who claims to be the wife of her second brother? Zheng Pingsheng thought about it and shook his head disdainfully, "It's really nonsense, the second brother has been dead for many years, how can he have a wife who is pregnant with Liujia." She's just a spy sent by Liang Chu to spread rumors. "Zheng Pingxin thought of the brother who was rich in five cars, and couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart, the second brother was an insurmountable myth in his heart, that dazzling boy, he will always remember." However, speaking of which, His Majesty wanted his father to preside over the case, but his father shirked it. ”
Zheng Wan raised her head abruptly and looked straight at Zheng Pingxin, her expression was a little solemn, "Father actually refused." ”
Zheng Pingxin was taken aback by Zheng Wan's face, "What concerns does Wan'er have?" ”
In fact, it doesn't matter who the woman is, what matters is the father's attitude. After all, this is about our Zheng family, although Brother Pingsheng is no longer alive, this is a well-known thing, but during the siege of the city, Liang Chu kept saying that the man outside the city wall was the second son of the Zheng family, and the death was a lie. It just so happened that the woman set a trap a few days earlier and met His Majesty through our Zheng family, which will inevitably make Your Majesty wonder about our Zheng family, although the spy was killed by the eldest brother with an arrow, but after all, it is in the name of our Zheng family. Everyone in the prison knew that the woman in the prison was Liang Chu's spy, but the Zheng family couldn't get out of it when they introduced her, and His Majesty wanted his father to preside over the trial for the sake of temptation. It's good that my father doesn't shirk it, and it also seems that our Zheng family has a clear conscience, if he refuses, I'm afraid"
Zheng Pingxin's face became more and more solemn. "So you mean, Your Majesty will think that the Zheng family and Liang Chu? But"
"No, but, that woman must be handled properly, my father can't ignore it, on the one hand, the Zheng family introduced her to Emperor Qin was used by him, which must make Emperor Qin white, on the other hand, I heard that she is a woman who doesn't eat hard and soft, and those people in the Tingwei Mansion haven't asked anything until now, is such a good opportunity to listen to Liang Chu be wasted? Since she is using us, we might as well return the favor to others. Father just wants to show his attitude to His Majesty. There is another point, that is, the Zheng family's denial, whether Liang Chu's words were passed out, whether it was true or false, the Zheng family's words are the most credible, if the Zheng family is in charge of the case, and the woman is indeed a spy, then this is an iron case. Even the Zheng family clarified in person, and everyone in the world couldn't refute anything. That woman is pregnant, if she is really a descendant of the Zheng family, is it possible that the Zheng family will not recognize it? Moreover, the Zheng family is now favored, and it is inevitable that they will be jealous, and if this matter is used by them to play on the topic, the Zheng family will always have a loss. ”
"There is some reason, I will go and discuss this matter with my father. Then I'll go first. Zheng Pingxin hugged his hand.
"Third brother." Zheng Wan stopped Zheng Pingxin, who was about to leave. "You must not say that I said these words, firstly, my father will not like it when he knows it, and secondly, I did something wrong a few days ago, which made my father angry."
"Yes, I know. My father has always disliked women talking about government affairs. That farewell. ”
"Third brother walk slowly." Zheng Wan stood there, looking at Zheng Pingxin's figure in the distance. The face is calm and gentle. Ning Yan could feel the ridicule in Zheng Wan's heart, and it seemed that something was slowly beginning. Zheng Wan suddenly smiled, very bitter, "Third brother, you can't imagine that the hostage is really the second brother, our brother Pingsheng, Brother Pingsheng did cheat to death back then, the one in the palace and his father knew it clearly, they knew that the person outside the city wall was Zheng Pingsheng, and they killed the hero in order to save themselves." The one who felt guilty about his father, but as an emperor, he couldn't have a handle in the hands of his subordinates, so he wanted his father to preside over the trial was indeed to test his father's choice between the Zheng family's bloodline and the Great Qin royal family. And his father's reluctance to participate was also afraid of Qin Shaodi's suspicion, for them, Zheng Pingsheng was just a pawn that could be used, and they could kick it away if they were useless. Zheng Wan, who was blown by the cool breeze, was a little cold, but it couldn't withstand the chill in her heart. Second brother, I will do my best to keep your flesh and blood. Zheng Wan gathered her shawl and calmly turned around and walked towards the west wing.
"Miss." In the small courtyard of the west wing, Qiu begged to greet Zheng Wan and carefully helped Zheng Wan take off the shawl. "Miss, it's time to change the dressing." Zheng Wan stopped Qiu Qi's movements.
"Qiu Qi, I want you to do something." Zheng Wan's face was very solemn, and she seemed to have made a lot of determination.
Qiu Qi suddenly knelt down, "Miss, you can say it, Miss will do whatever Qiu Qi commands." She has noticed something in the past few days, but she can't say for sure, she has been with Miss for eight years, although Miss can't see anything on her face, but she knows that Miss must be hiding something in her heart.
A trace of sadness flashed in Zheng Wan's eyes, "Get up." Zheng Wan walked to the window, the trees outside were almost withered, and she was already a little depressed, "Qiu Qi, once this matter fails, you and I will die without a place to bury." I'm not sure of success, you can choose not to do it, then I'll give you a sum of money, you get back the deed of sale, and you can live a free life. ”
"Miss, I won't say anything gorgeous, but Qiu Qi has the kindness of Miss Bai in his heart. Since I stepped into the Zheng family that year, the life of the slave has been linked with the young lady. Miss said. Qiu Qi must do his best to complete the task. Qiu Qi looked at Zheng Wan firmly, for her, Miss was her only relative.
"Qiu Qi, thank you." Zheng Wan turned to look at Qiu Qi, "These days, I'm bothering you to help me find out if there are any children in this city or nearby who died at birth." It must be done in secret, and it must not be discovered. ”
"Qiu Qi knows. Miss rest assured. Qiu Qi responded calmly,
"Don't you ask why?"
Qiu Qi shook his head, "Qiu Qi doesn't need to know, if Miss is willing to speak, the slave will listen, if Miss doesn't want to say, Qiu Qi won't ask." ”
"Go down. Remember, be cautious. ”
"No, Qiu Qiding remembers it firmly. But, miss, it's time for a dressing. Qiu Qi bowed respectfully.
"It's just a minor injury."
"Miss." Qiu Qi's tone was full of worry, and his face was full of sorrow.
"That's it. Bring the medicine. ”
"Okay." Qiu Qi's expression relaxed suddenly, and he hurriedly ran out to prepare the ointment.
Zheng Wan's face was a little heavy, I don't know if the third brother can move his father, only if his father wants to intervene in this matter, I am his best choice, once he can enter that impregnable cell, the chance of saving people is a little greater.
"Miss, I'm drugged." Qiu Qi stepped forward diligently, and Zheng Wan returned to a peaceful state.
"I'm tired."
