On December 12, the day of Zheng Pingxin's expedition, according to the custom, Zheng Pingxin first had to go to the palace to resign and accept the inspection of Emperor Qin, and then he would set off with his troops. Early in the morning, Zheng Pingxin entered the palace, Zheng Nangong and Zheng Pingcheng were officials of the imperial court, so they naturally wanted to go.

"Third Miss." As soon as the old housekeeper sent a few adults in the house away, he met Zheng Wan who was about to go out. At this time, when it was just over the middle of the year, Zheng Wan deliberately rushed early, and when Zheng Pingxin set off, it would be difficult to get out of the city.

"Old butler." Zheng Wan saluted slightly, "The third brother is about to go on the expedition today, and I told the third brother that I would go to Yundeguan to pray for blessings on the day of the trip." If my father comes back, I will be informed by the old housekeeper. ”

"That's what an old slave should do. The third lady has a heart, and I don't know what else to tell the old slave. ”

"No, I'm a hard housekeeper, then I'll quit first."

"Miss." Qiu Qi helped Zheng Wan put on a big coat, nodded slightly, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, Zheng Wan smiled slightly, as a signal, and got into the carriage, Qiu Qi was supposed to be the one who drove the car. Soon they arrived at the Tingwei Division.

"Miss Zheng. It's really early. The cell boss greeted him with graciousness. Zheng Wan lowered her head and smiled, "Today I want to go to Yundeguan outside the city to pray for my family, so I will take a look by the way." ”

"I just gave birth to a child last night, and the woman seemed to be crazy, holding the child alive and dead, and others couldn't get close, and she kept cursing, Miss Zheng, be careful."

"Oh? Already have a baby? I'm going to report this to Lord Tingwei. ”

"It's natural, but Lord Tingwei is still in the court." The cell boss said as he led Zheng Wan into the cell.

"Squeak" The lock opened, and the cell leader looked at the woman cowering in the corner, his brow furrowed, "Please." With that, he took a few steps back. After locking Zheng Wan inside, he went out of the neighborhood.

Zheng Wan looked at the woman curled up, holding a child in her hand, her uncombed hair was scattered and draped, and she didn't know what she was talking about. A Shinto look.

Qiu Qi put down the food box in his hand and guarded the prison door.

Zheng Wan slowly walked to the corner of the wall, the woman heard the sound, slowly turned her head, the corners of her mouth were chapped, she looked very miserable, and after seeing the person in front of her, her eyes lit up, "You are finally here." ”

Zheng Wan said softly, "You can say goodbye to him." The woman slowly brushed the baby's face, and the child slept very peacefully, "Yuyang, I'm sorry for you for my mother." Tears slid down her face and dripped into Zheng Wan's heart. Yuyang, when he grows up, he wants to be a good man who stands up to the sky. My mother will always guard you and protect you. The woman took a piece of jade pendant from her neck and put it in the swaddling clothes, "This is a token of love from your father to your mother, now I give it to you, may it bless my son." The woman kissed the baby lightly on the forehead, and Ning Yan's tears couldn't help but gush out, now this child is so pitiful, he was born with nothing.

"Don't worry, I'll use my life to protect him." Zheng Wan looked at the woman solemnly. The woman stood up slowly, and reluctantly handed the child to Zheng Wan, Zheng Wan opened the box, took out the dead baby, took her nephew, and gently put it in the box, "I put some soothing herbs." ”

"Jade sheep, you have to fight for it. Don't make a sound, or you and I won't be able to get out. ”

Zheng Wan looked at the woman on the side and suddenly bowed.

"Zheng Wan, you" The woman looked at Zheng Wan in surprise. Hurry to help.

"Sister-in-law. This is the first time I've called you that. Hope not to blame. ”

The woman's tears kept flowing, "There is finally someone in the Zheng family who recognizes me." Zheng Wan, I know that I will not be able to complete the corpse after I die, I only ask you to help me and your brother ergo up a clothed grave. I'm this week. The woman took a wooden hairpin from her head and handed it to Zheng Wan.

"Okay." Zheng Wan picked up the food box and handed it to Qiu Qi, "Farewell." Zheng Wan didn't look back, some things were already doomed, and she was powerless to recover.

"Miss Zheng. Let's go. The cell boss still warmly congratulated Zheng Wan.

Perhaps it was the effect of the herbs, or the child's own hunch, from the cell to the carriage, there was no sound at all. Just got into the carriage and drove out of the road. Zheng Wan's heart calmed down slightly. Looking at the food box in front of me, I was in a trance.

Zheng Wan's hands were clasped together, looking nervous, she took a few deep breaths and slowly stroked the food box. It's finally almost out of town.

The soldiers guarding the city were very familiar with Miss Zheng's carriage, so they let it go directly, and Qiu Qi drove until Yundeguan. "Miss. It's here. ”

Qiu Qi's voice interrupted Zheng Wan's thoughts, lifted the curtain, got out of the car with the food box, Yundeguan has a special person to place the carriage and horses, Zheng Wan, as always, walked to the resident hut, and entered the house, Zheng Wan was really relieved. Hurriedly put the food box on the table, turned around and changed into a light clothes, took out the baby from the food box and gently tied it to his chest.

"Today I pray behind closed doors, and no one is allowed to disturb me."

"No." Qiu Qi nodded solemnly.

"Be careful." Zheng Wan glanced at Qiu Qi, turned around and walked to the window of the hut, pushed it open, and behind it was a large forest, this forest is the forbidden place of Yundeguan, and it is rumored that if you go in, you will lose your way and never get out. However, Zheng Wan didn't seem to care about this rumor, jumped out of the window, and disappeared in front of her. Ning Yan hurriedly followed and flew up the tree, turned his head to look at the layout of the hut, it was really wonderful. For so many years, Zheng Wan deliberately chose this room. It's so secretive that no one else will notice it.

Zheng Wan quickly moved through the forest, this forest seemed to be very familiar to her, about a stick of incense appeared a hill, not long to walk in there is a large waterfall, the depths of the woods have a different scenery. It's really beautiful, Ning Yan looked at everything in front of him happily, if he lived in seclusion here, it would also be a beautiful thing in the world. However, Zheng Wan didn't stay long, turned several corners, and entered a bamboo forest, and there was a hut in the middle. Zheng Wan hid to the side incognito. At this time, a white-bearded old man walked out of the door with a bamboo cage on his back, and when he walked away, Zheng Wan walked out from the side.

"Yuyang, your father said that this is a master of the world, with immortal talents, Wen Taowu is very proficient, but unfortunately the yin beads are dusty, and he is not treated by the first emperor, so he lives in seclusion here. The current Emperor Qin, I guess, I'm afraid he won't be able to get into his eyes. Even if he doesn't teach you anything, I think under his subtlety, you will become a talent. Zheng Wan gently hugged the sleeping baby, "He is my only choice." Zheng Wan gently placed it on the baby, "Yuyang, when my ability can protect you, I will definitely come to pick you up." Slowly took out a pendant from her neck, it was a special pattern, a bit like a snake totem, Zheng Wan held it, as if she was exerting force, and suddenly slapped the pendant on the baby's shoulder.

"Ahh Ning Yan couldn't help but scream, what is Zheng Wan doing! The baby woke up from a dream, and just as he started crying, he fainted because of the intense pain. A tear slipped through the corner of Zheng Wan's eyes, "I'm sorry, Jade Sheep." This is the mark that I recognize you. Foreign objects are too easily influenced, and the talents that are branded on the body are foolproof. Zheng Wan looked at the pendant in her hand, held it, and a snake totem on the baby's shoulder was clearly visible. Leaning down, he gently kissed the baby's forehead, "There will be a period later, my little jade sheep." ”

Turning to leave, hiding in the woods on the side, deliberately lightening his breathing, not long after, the white-bearded old man rushed back, saw the child who had fainted, looked around, shook his head gently, and picked the child up and went into the house.

When the door closed, Zheng Wan turned around and left. As soon as he left, the door of the hut opened, and the old man looked in the direction where Zheng Wan had left and sighed. Ning Yan looked at the old man in front of him, it turned out that he had known for a long time, but he still left the child behind. Zheng Yuyang, how is this name more and more familiar, Ning Yan thought about it, but still couldn't remember, so he didn't think about it, and immediately followed Zheng Wan, who was already far away.

Zheng Wan went back much faster, maybe she had no children and no worries. Around Shen Shi, Zheng Wan returned to the hut, and as soon as she entered the house and changed her clothes, a voice sounded outside, "Miss Qiu, may I ask Miss Zheng to go to the hall for dinner or send it over?" As soon as Qiu Qi was about to reply, Zheng Wan opened the door, "There is a special visit from the chief of the Lao Dao, and we will go to the hall later." In this regard, Zheng Wan did not deliberately choose.

"Okay, the poor road has been arranged."

"Miss, you're back."

Zheng Wan glared at Qiu Qi, who immediately lowered his head. Zheng Wan didn't say anything, so she entered the house, dressed up carefully, and walked to the hall with Qiu Qi.

Although it is a hall, it is actually a hierarchy, there are mostly civilians outside, and there are private rooms inside, Zheng Wan, as the young lady of the Taiwei Mansion, naturally sits inside.

When she was about to arrive, Zheng Wan glanced slightly at the private room next to her, Ning Yan followed Zheng Wan's eyes and looked over, Su Qin! The jade pendant around his neck also began to heat up at the same time.

"Miss. We're here. ”

Zheng Wan nodded slightly, turned around and entered the private room next door. Ning Yan stood, holding the jade pendant in his hand, Zheng Wan, you expected Su Qin to be there today, right? I feel a hint of your joy. Why are you happy, Su Qin? Or the man in the official uniform next to him? The royal family has always believed in the destiny of heaven, Zheng Pingxin went on an expedition today, outsiders seem to be just the Zheng family in order to let the son of the family exercise more, in addition to the henchmen of the Great Qin Emperor, the few insiders of the Zheng family, and no one else knows the mystery, the expedition naturally needs to be divined and prayed, the temple is too solemn and the influence is too great, Yundeguan is a good choice. Su Qin's appearance must be related to his father, and Master Su, who is the head of Jiuqing, is naturally the best candidate for this divination and blessing. From this point of view, the person next to Su Qin must be Master Su. Ning Yan's thinking gradually became clear, what was Zheng Wan going to use Su Qin to do this time?

"Let's go." Zheng Wan didn't eat much, and it was over soon, and Ning Yan hurriedly followed. Su Qin, what does this jade pendant have to do with you? Ning Yan turned his head and looked at Su Qin deeply.

In the palace, "The army is ready to go?" Qin Yinruo sat at the chess table.

"I've just left."

The hand in the sleeve held the peace charm tightly.
