Even if the cold frost was no longer incomprehensible, Qin Yunuan couldn't explain it to her in a short time, if it was too late, Daqi would lose another good general.

At the same time, Sima Rui was secretly escorted by Leng Wu to a secret room with the most heavily guarded guards in the Zongren Mansion for temporary detention.

"Let's go inside." Leng Wu glanced at Sima Rui coldly, his face expressionless.

"Your injuries? It's good to be fast. Sima Rui glanced at Leng Wu's injured arm provocatively, Leng Wu didn't speak, the corners of Sima Rui's mouth suddenly flashed with a cold smile, he raised his head and opened the three rays of light and shadow that shot out of the cage window, and suddenly said, "It's a pity, in another half an hour, Daqi will lose a good hand with soldiers." ”

In the evening, Qin Yunuan had already returned to the courtyard, Leng Changxi was not allowed to go out of the courtyard for the sake of safety, and he also sent the two most careful guards among Leng Shuang and the Eighteen Shadow Guards to guard them strictly.

"How?" Qin Yunuan looked at Man'er, who hurried back from outside, and pulled her sleeve and asked.

Man'er panted and said, "When Miss Leng arrived at the barracks, the emperor's people had already arrived, and there was a stalemate, and she was about to do it, but fortunately, there was a person who knew Miss Leng at the head of the public kilometer where she went to announce the decree, and after listening to Miss Leng's words, she only said that she wanted to go back to the emperor." ”

"It's good to ask you back." Qin Yunuan's heart was immediately put down.

Man'er was puzzled: "Third young grandmother, how do you know that the General Meng in the barracks is real, but the people detained in the secret passage are fake?" It is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake of these two Mongolian generals, if this is ...... mistaken. ”

"I didn't dare to be sure at first," Qin Yunuan frowned and said, "In fact, for most people, when they see the people who look exactly like General Meng in the secret passage, they will naturally think that the one outside is fake, but who knows, Sima Rui is cunning and treacherous, he is just taking advantage of people's psychology, I estimate that he has probably discovered my whereabouts at that time, in fact, he deliberately led me to that secret room, he wants everyone to think that General Meng in the military camp is fake, and with the emperor's clean and decisive character, After knowing this news, he would definitely order the secret killing of General Meng in the barracks as soon as possible, and he would not ask Concubine Yun and the eldest prince for confirmation at all. ”

"The third prince is really cunning." Man'er sighed.

"No, he's not cunning, he's smart, even a little too smart" Qin Yunuan sighed "I have to admit that this is indeed the best of both worlds, in this way, he can not only get rid of the family of the first military generals of Great Qi, but also remove a powerful arm of Yun Guifei and the Great Prince, if he can succeed, he can also take the opportunity to lock himself in the secret room and give it to Fuzheng, and take the opportunity to master the military power of the DPRK and China." ”

"But," Man'er frowned, "but the third prince has not been ......;

。 Man'er wanted to say that Sima Rui's whereabouts had been revealed, and it was impossible for the emperor to trust Sima Rui in his life.

"I know what you want to ask" Qin Yunuan sighed leisurely, "Sima Rui was playing dark with the emperor before, I think, this time, he is going to start playing Ming, believe it or not, the carriage that escorted the third prince to the imperial tomb will definitely have an accident on the way." ”

"Someone is trying to harm him?" Man'er asked.

Qin Yunuan shook his head: "No, it's him who wants to save himself." Seeing that Man'er immediately wanted to speak and stopped, Qin Yunuan just picked up the scissors on the table and cut the wick a little shorter, making the candlelight brighter, "We can't stop it, it seems that this change in the palace is not an end, but another beginning." ”

In the evening, Leng Changxi was already very tired when he came back, Qin Yunuan carefully brought Leng Changxi footwashing water, dismissed all the maids and grandmothers, and prepared to wash Leng Changxi in person.

Stunned, Qin Yunuan was already hugged by Leng Changxi in his arms and fell on the mattress.

Leng Changxi seemed to be looking at a disobedient little pet, and gently tapped the tip of Qin Yunuan's nose with his fingertips, "I said that letting you come back is to let you have a good rest, what?" I heard that you have been asking Man'er to go out in the afternoon to inquire about the situation outside? You, you, really can't be idle for a moment. ”

Qin Yunuan didn't deny it, she just rubbed it into Leng Changxi's arms as a gesture of goodwill, and said quite proudly, "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't know that General Meng in the barracks was actually real, Sima Rui's move to cover people's eyes and ears was really fascinating." ”

Speaking of this, he should indeed thank Qin Yunuan, Emperor Zhaoxuan was quite annoyed when he knew in the evening that Qin Yunuan sent someone to stop his secret edict, but when more detailed news came from the military camp, it also made Emperor Zhaoxuan feel uplifted, and the "General Meng" who was rescued from the secret passage had been delirious, and he couldn't tell which was true and which was false for a while, so he could only postpone the trial.

Listening to Leng Changxi say everything that happened in the palace, Qin Yunuan was already a little tired, lying on Leng Changxi's knees, unconsciously, he was already in a half-asleep state, in a daze, only to feel Leng Changxi leaning over her forehead and pecking a light kiss, and then flattened her and covered the mattress, and slept with her in peace.

I don't know how long I slept, Qin Yunuan was woken up by a noisy sound, and when he got up, Leng Changxi was gone, and when Tingxue and Man'er outside heard the sound of Qin Yunuan getting up, they immediately brought hot water and pancreas to wash their faces.

"What's so noisy out there?" Qin Yunuan rubbed his temples that were a little sore, it didn't sound like the movement in the mansion, Ning Wang's Mansion has always been clean, and it is rare to be so lively.

Man'er and Tingxue glanced at each other, and neither of them spoke.

Qin Yunuan glanced at the two little maids, and the action of pinching the spoon and scooping the almond soup between her fingers was still so leisurely, and she only moved her eyes to Xi'er, who had not spoken: "Xi'er, you say." ”

Although Xi'er is cheerful and bold on weekdays, she is extremely cautious today, she nodded and said: "Third young grandmother, outside, outside is the marriage of Princess Jin He." ”

"Princess Jinhe? Get married? Qin Yunuan was very surprised, she had never heard of such a princess in Daqi, let alone any major marriages in Daqi recently.

"Yes," Xi'er continued, "After the death of the fourth girl, the emperor originally intended to send the county lord of Zhaojing to Xixia and his relatives, but it didn't work out, and now the county lord of Zhaojing is under house arrest in Princess Jing's mansion, which is equivalent to being abolished, and this princess of Jinhe, I heard that she was also temporarily canonized, in order to just give Xixia an explanation;

。 ”

Temporarily canonized the princess, temporarily pushed on the sedan chair, in Daqi, this dynasty where men are inferior to women is so strict, women are indeed just commodities used for trading, and at the same time, men will instill in you such thoughts, you can be used, at least it shows that you are valuable.

"Which girl is it?" Qin Yunuan asked in detail.

"It's the Shangguan girl of the Shangguan Mansion, Shangguan Yi."

Qin Yu was slightly shocked in her heart: "How could it be her?" Now that the situation in Western Xia and Daqi is undecided, and the future is unpredictable, can't Shangguan Yuan and Mr. Shangguan be able to stop it? ”

One is the left minister of Daqi, and the other is a master of Daqi's academic circles, and even a weak woman in the family can't protect it thoroughly, how ironic is this.

"But what if she volunteered?" Outside the door, there was a sudden feminine and tactful voice like a yellow bird, and the men would like it when they heard it, but this kind of bewitching voice was just a kind of nausea that was hard to swallow in Qin Yunuan's ears.

The one who entered the door was none other than Aunt Tang, who had provoked too much trouble in the previous paragraph and was ordered by King Ning to think about it in the room.

Facing Aunt Tang, who never took the initiative to set foot in Qin Yunuan's yard, Qin Yunuan naturally wouldn't give a good face, there was too much to do with the two.

"Xi'er, Man'er, go and see if those maids in the concierge are not doing anything?" Qin Yunuan didn't even glance at Tang, "Now I'm really getting more and more lazy, and everyone is put in the yard." ”

Aunt Tang's face stiffened, and she saw that Qin Yunuan had actually sent the maid away, and her face immediately became flattering: "I just mean, the third young grandmother will not be so stingy and turn away a loyal person who comes to report the news." ”

Qin Yunuan glanced at Aunt Tang, since the death of Princess Ning, this Tang clan seems to have seen that Qin Yunuan is a place where wealth and fortune will increase, and he is running more and more diligently day by day.

"Loyal?" Qin Yunuan leisurely pulled up the cuffs, moved to the embroidery frame, and held the needle and thread in her hands, only as Aunt Tang is air, "I never saw that Aunt Tang, you are still loyal to me." ”

"That's now," Aunt Tang leaned forward with her eyes, "I'm here today, I really have important news to tell the third young grandmother." ”

"If you talk about Shangguan Yi being canonized as a princess of Jinhe, I already know."

Tang then smiled and said, "But the third young grandmother must not know why this Shangguan girl took the initiative to ask to go to Xixia and kiss. ”

Qin Yunuan looked at Aunt Tang and didn't speak.

"Hmph, I only heard that the big maid who was newly selected to accompany the Shangguan girl recently actually came out of the palace, and when the maid was doing things in the palace, she was eating against the eunuch named Du Sheng next to the third prince Sima Rui."

Qin Yunuan's eyes were slightly picked, and it was actually related to Sima Rui, this matter had not yet been revealed, and the Tang family even pretended to whisper mysteriously in Qin Yunuan's ear: "There is one more thing, since the death of Sister Sun, the Sun family is missing a strong arm in Beijing, I listened to those old grandmothers in the house said that the Sun family seems to have the intention of finding a sensible and outstanding daughter in the clan to marry, and now, the excerpt asking the emperor for marriage has been handed over, just waiting for the emperor to approve it." ”
