The sisters and brothers hugged each other and said a lot of warm words, even Liao's mother, who was waiting on the side, couldn't help but wipe two tears, a concubine, a concubine, no mother, how difficult it is to live happily in the Taiwei Mansion under the control of Dou Qing'e.

At the same time, the lights of Cuixuan Courtyard have not stopped.

The stars were shining outside, and the lights in Dou Qing'e's room were always bright and flickering.

Dou Qing'e put down the letter that Hui Neng entrusted Qin Yunuan to bring back, her brows tightened, and she picked up the soothing tea on the table, but she put it down, her mind was uncertain, and her palms were sweating, "No, so to speak, the green willow was still discovered, and let her stay alive in Wan'an Temple, just like a cancer growing on my heart, making me unstable." ”

"What do you mean?" Xiu Gu asked cautiously, and as she spoke, she took off the hairpin for Dou Qing'e and combed her long hair.

"When I got married, didn't my mother put several masters of the family by my side?" Dou Qing'e's eyes were full of murderous aura, always killing a thousand, don't let go of one, do things, you have to be decisive and neat, you can't look ahead, "I've been idle for several years, it's time to let them move." ”

Xiu Gu bowed her head and said, "The slave maid will arrange someone to do it immediately." ”

"But you said Qin Yunuan," Dou Qing'e's already shrewd and shining pupils became more and more refined, "Does she know the details of the green willow, the person who sent out to inquire this afternoon said that this whole thing was found out by Leng Changxi, and the action was extremely fast, vigorous and resolute, but Qin Yunuan is not a fool, not to mention, there is a small one in her yard, the concubine is not terrible to be smart, I am afraid that the concubine will also be smart, by the way, do you remember that when Qin Baochuan caught Zhou, what he caught was a jade version, and the fortune tellers all said that this kid has an auspicious appearance, He will be the pillar of the country in the future. ”

"So what, now the old man is taboo and the second young master is taboo tightly," Xiu Gu's tone became deeper and deeper, "Moreover, there is a matter that the slave maid wants to report to the lady." Xiu Gu leaned into Dou Qing'e's ear and told Dou Qing'e how Qin Baochuan disliked the ugly clothes this evening, and how he made a lot of nonsense, and then said, "Cui'e went to monitor the second young master before, saying that he took cold showers every day to exercise his mind, from this point of view, in the end, the mud is not on the wall, and the slaves and maids know more than 10,000 people, and it can be seen at a glance that this second young master is still an arrogant and greedy boy in his bones." ”

"That's right," Dou Qing'e nodded, "A five-year-old child, it's the time when he is naughty and wants to be pampered, the more he doesn't learn and can't learn anything, the better it will be for us, maybe, this kid will also have a grudge against Qin Yunuan because of the cold shower, Xiugu, this also happens to be where we can take advantage of it, you let Cui'e continue to watch them carefully, three reports a day, tomorrow the master will come back, I will also give Linfeng a book this morning to let him come back soon, this Qin family, in the end, is still our world." ”

"That's right," Dou Qing'e tilted her head and said, "Luliu is trapped in the temple, and I don't know if I have put that thing into Qin Yunuan's diet, you send someone to make up some more doses, in short, I want to ensure that tomorrow is foolproof." ”

Xiu Gu bowed her head to accept the order, and continued: "Speaking of which, the young master has not been in the mansion all day today, and I don't know if he will come back tomorrow." ”

"He will definitely come back," Dou Qing'e's mood relaxed a lot, "His uncle who is a big official has returned home, if his nephew wants to gain a foothold in the capital, he doesn't have to rush back to curry favor, in short, tomorrow, we can watch a good show." Dou Qing'e smiled at herself who was still pollen and sideburns in the bronze mirror, just like taking her first breath after holding it in the water for a long time, she is not old, and the Qin family will still be her to decide.

Early in the morning of the second day, gongs and drums were already beating outside, all the alleys were empty, the wine flags soliciting guests on the side of the street were fluttering wantonly, and people were in the middle of the East Street to welcome the eldest prince Sima Ruo who had returned from the southern tour and Qin Taiwei, who was traveling with him.

The golden car and BMW, the flag is flying, and the southern patrol team composed of 200 people is lined up in two columns, stretching from the street to the end of the street. Because it has been a day of rest in the suburbs of Beijing, everyone in the team is full of energy, tall horses, faintly, with a little bit of the courage of the emperor on patrol three years ago.

On one side is the lively East Street like a pot of boiling water, and on the other side, it is as gloomy as the night Leng Changxi, he is sitting on the first floor of the third floor of the capital on the window of the seat, Leng Changxi's strong and slender fingers rub back and forth on the carved alfalfa flowers on the window lattice, looking down can see the panoramic view of the East Street.

His eyes were like an eagle waiting for the appearance of his prey, the wide open window ushered in the cold wind of hunting, and the wine on the table was blown cold by the north wind, but Leng Changxi did not raise his eyelids, and poured wine into his throat.

"General, cold wine hurts your stomach, my subordinates will warm a pot for you." Leng Wu on the side arched his hand.

Leng Changxi tilted his head slightly, and his voice was as cold as a spring in the forest in winter, "Cold wine leads people to be sober, and warm things will make people addicted." With that, he quickly waved his sleeves, stroked off the word "warm" written on the table with water dipped in water, and asked in a deep voice, "How?" Did anyone catch it? ”

"Caught," Leng Wu only pretended not to see Leng Changxi's small movements, "The three Eastern Qin remnants who want to continue to assassinate the eldest prince and Qin Taiwei have all been captured, and the general is really like a god, and he has set up a probing point on Dongdajie in advance, and took it down before they can make a move, so as to avoid alarming the people and crashing into the eldest prince." ”

Leng Changxi didn't speak, only moved his eyes to the distance, "What about the situation in Wan'an Temple?" ”

Leng Wu hugged his fists again, "Although the assassin who came to assassinate last night was caught, but when he was finally questioned, he bit his tongue and committed suicide, fortunately, Luliu has been placed in a safe place in advance and has not been harmed, as for Hui'an, although we strictly guarded him and tied his hands and feet to prevent him from committing suicide, but I didn't expect that his final luck triggered internal force, broke through the death hole, and died violently. ”

"It seems to be a dead soldier, and he is still a dead soldier with deep internal strength and good kung fu," Leng Changxi half-rested on the chair, "Xue Si fought with one of them, listening to his description, it should be the forces privately cultivated by the four major families in the south, the Shangguan family in Yangzhou, the Dou family in Hangzhou, and the Zhenyuan Houfu and Cui family in Baling City, all go to check." ”

Leng Wu honestly led the order to go out, Leng Changxi poured himself another cup of cold pear blossom white, the long ceremonial procession had already passed by the window, and the excitement gradually dissipated, he Leng Changxi was obviously not a nosy person, but now he worked hard for a little girl's business, and in the end, people were still afraid of him for three points, and guarded against three points.

The corners of Leng Changxi's mouth were a little helpless, a glass entered his throat, and the cool aroma of wine made him not drunk, but more sober.

"General, Xue Si is already waiting outside the door."

"Got it." Leng Changxi withdrew from the person who reported it, straightened out his somewhat messy clothes, and it seemed that he should also go.

The first thing the eldest prince Sima Ruo and the Taiwei Qin Zhen did when they returned to Beijing was to enter the palace to meet the current saint, and they could only come back at noon, but the Qin family was already busy.

Dou Qing'e has already received the news that her lord is in danger during his southern tour, because he sprained his arm for the eldest prince's knife, and the emperor intends to be knighted and rewarded.

She never does anything she is not prepared for, she has already asked her sisters to inquire clearly, just last night, the emperor even wrote the edict of the knighthood and took it to the Zongren Mansion for registration, which means that as long as the lord sees the emperor today and adds a knighthood, it will be a real lord.

"Madam, madam, the lord's sedan chair has arrived at the entrance of the alley."

"Quick, let Ye San put the firecrackers up," Dou Qing'e took the lead and rushed towards the main gate with her skirt, and on the way, she cautiously asked Xiu Gu, "Are you sure that you scattered the five stones in Qin Yunuan's rice porridge?" ”

"It's all in, Madame, don't worry." Xiu Gu said.

Very good, now, no matter whether she Qin Yunuan has seen through the plan she arranged in Wan'an Temple, after today, the names of Qin Yunuan and Qin Baochuan will disappear from the genealogy of the Qin family, and after that, it will be the master's steady progress, his son will also come back, and Yun Makeup's face will also improve, and there will no longer be any force that can stop him from becoming the head of the Qin family.

At the mouth of the alley, twenty-four artillery shots rang out in unison, crackling with a burst of green smoke, a four-person sedan chair staggered out of the smoke, the sedan chair driver was already choked and coughed again and again, the sedan chair was not stable, Qin Zhen directly opened the sedan curtain and walked out.

Qin Zhen is about to be in his early forties, his body is getting thinner and thinner because of his hard work, and his cheeks, which were originally handsome, also have a smell of wind and dust, coupled with a curved purple brocade robe, it seems that Qin Zhen is not so energetic when he is happy, but a little sluggish and decadent.

"What is this doing?" Qin Zhen covered his mouth and nose, dodged the smoke that spread, and shouted at Dou Qing'e, "It's not an auspicious day for sacrifice, and there is no big event in the house, it's really ...... to suddenly sound a salute." Qin Zhen frowned and shook his head, his expression was mixed with loneliness that he couldn't hide, but he kept holding on, he Qin Zhen didn't care about anything, only face and reputation were the most important, even if he lost something that was about to arrive, he couldn't lose his backbone in front of outsiders.

Dou Qing'e's mind was already half stunned at this time, but she still smiled shyly, "It's not a happy event for the master, he was knighted, and the concubine also wants to celebrate the master." ”

It's okay not to mention this, but as soon as he mentioned this, Qin Zhi's face suddenly condensed into ice, his eyes were like a firecracker about to ignite, and he stared at Dou Qing'e for a while, "What is the holy will, which is also something that you, a woman, can speculate about?" All emperors have their own rewards and punishments, so why should you worry. Without saying a word, he flicked his sleeves and entered the door without looking back.

Dou Qing'e suddenly seemed to be nailed to the spot, what does the master mean by this? Could it be that this title in hand has been lost?
