In the two days that he was escorted by Mu Chongyan, even if it was in a bumpy carriage, it was also the two days when Qin Huai slept most peacefully. The epidemic in Xiangzhou has been understood, and those people have also put down their prejudices against her, and Li Shuxian has also been detained, so she doesn't have to worry about any changes.

Breathing the air of Xunyang, not only did she rush to be refreshed, but even Mingyue and Caixia suppressed the joy in their hearts and went straight to the princess's mansion.

Qin Huai had asked Mu Chongyan to send Gan Ziyan to the post house for a temporary stay, and when Qin Huai met the saint, he would naturally arrange a suitable opportunity for him to enter the palace. And Gan Zizhi also looked calm, and obeyed Qin Huai's every arrangement with a pleasant face.

In the end, he is a cultivator, and this attitude is different from ordinary people, and he treats people and things with a kind and prosperous manner, ah no, he looks like he has no quarrel with the world.

As for Yin Wenze, Qin Huai was not worried that she was living in the post house, but took her to the princess's mansion, and specially set aside a side room for her to treat her as a guest.

In fact, she also saw it along the way, thinking that Mu Chongyan was the same as his sister, they were all cold ice for a thousand years, and they couldn't warm their temperament, but this Mu Chongyan seemed to be very different from Yin Wen, and they looked at each other frequently along the way.

Qin Huai asked him where he met Yin Wenze before, but he had such an expression, saying that it was because Pu Chenming repeatedly came to the door to harass him, and he made it clear that Yin Wenze would be difficult and dangerous along the way, which persuaded Mu Guanqing to help.

And Mu Guanqing also knew what his father did when he learned about it, so he took the first step to let Mu Chongyan ambush him on the way from Yaoshi Valley to Xiangzhou, and secretly helped Yin Wenze, which was the scene where he sent a bloody BMW.

Since then, he has been waiting outside Xiangzhou to avoid any accidents or things that cannot be ended.

When his father made a decision to send his will from Xunyang, Mu Guanqing sent Mu Chongyan to escort him on the surface, but in fact, there were personal guards to send it, and Mu Chongyan intercepted the will outside Xiangzhou, and then escorted Qin Huai and others back to Xunyang.

This wishful thinking is ......

Qin Huai had just arrived at the gate of the princess's mansion when he saw Gonggong Cai already waiting in front of the mansion.

She hurriedly got out of the carriage and greeted her: "I haven't seen Grandpa Cai for a long time, I miss it very much, I don't know if Grandpa Cai also misses me." ”

Gonggong Cai has been serving her father close to him, and if it is every major event, he will never be sent out of the palace once, this is definitely his father's will again.

This Gonggong Cai also watched Qin Huai grow up, and when he learned about this incident, he was also worried about Qin Huai from the bottom of his heart, but he could also understand Qin Huai's purpose for this move. People are terrible, those rumors are getting more and more intense, blindly suppressing the symptoms but not the root cause, Qin Huai also has nothing to do before deciding to go this way.

Unexpectedly, Her Royal Highness the princess had the blessing of God, not only did she come back with all her beards and tails, but also treated the plague in Xiangzhou quite effectively, so he naturally sweated.

"The princess scared the old slave enough this time, the old slave prayed to God and worshiped the Buddha every day, and prayed that the princess would return to Beijing as soon as possible.

"Gong Cai is so busy on the fair day, it must be my father who asked you to train me."

Qin Huai knew that Gonggong Cai was saying polite words, so he naturally listened to half of it and half of it, and he already had a look in his heart.

But Gonggong Cai has always dealt with those people in the palace, and he has a good way of speaking, and he has been getting along with Qin Huai for so many years, and he has a clear understanding of Qin Huai's little temper.

"This old slave doesn't dare to talk nonsense, it's just that His Majesty has been worried about the princess in the past few days, and waves of inquiries about the news have been sent out, it's not that you can't rest assured, so Mu Shaojun will pick you up in person."

On the one hand, he comforted Qin Huai, and on the other hand, he did not forget to convey His Majesty's will, but his Majesty's anger was quietly blurred, leaving only an old father's worry about his daughter.

"Think about it, after all these years, when have you ever been to such a dangerous place, and you still sneaked out. Your Majesty hasn't closed his eyes for several nights, and he keeps saying that the third prince has no heart to be an elder brother. No, let you quickly pack up and go into the palace to calm down for his old man. ”

These words came out of Gonggong Cai's mouth, and Qin Huai was embarrassed, if she didn't enter the palace at this time, she wouldn't let herself go.

"Don't worry, I'm familiar with tidying up, so I'll go into the palace to say hello to my father and mother, and you can go back to your life first."

Grandpa Cai nodded, as if he intended to remind her.

"Then the old slave will go back here to report to His Majesty that he is safe, and he will not let the old man scratch his heart and liver, yes, the female official is also waiting in the palace."

Mu Guanqing is also in the palace, what does this mean?

Her princess's mansion was still comfortable, and after the maids had been serving for an hour to bathe and burn incense, she changed into a palace dress and decorated with those intricate jewelry and sachets.

Self-portrait in the mirror, this is what a princess should look like, even if she is not.

Got into the carriage and walked all the way to the outside of the palace, and the guards outside the palace gate looked at her with a little awe. It seems that the news of her trip to Xiangzhou has been spread, and everyone in Xiangzhou has heard the news.

Only then did he step into the gate of the palace, and he saw Mu Guanqing, who was already waiting here, Qin Huai hurriedly stepped forward, and couldn't help but share what he had seen and heard in Xiangzhou with her.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he said something like this, "Did my father ask you to wait for me?" ”

"Almost, the great benefactor who greeted our Tianyu is also in the division."

Mu Guanqing didn't have any superfluous looks, as if her triumphant return was a sure thing, and everything would not be unexpected by her.

Of course, nothing in the world can hide from her.

"The other half is the opportunity for His Majesty to give us collusion, think about how to explain it to him for a while."

Seeing Qin Huai's lonely expression, Mu Guanqing pulled the corners of her mouth, and deliberately reminded her, asking her to pay attention to her words and deeds later, and don't be polite about the responsibilities that should be taken.

"Let's be honest, then."

Qin Huai had good intentions and didn't want to deceive her father, but she forgot that as an accomplice in this matter, what punishment was waiting for Mu Guanqing.

"You are trying to trap me in injustice, the princess's escape is a big crime, do you want me to punish the nine clans so much?"

It was obviously a word of fear, but it could be said in Mu Guanqing's tone, but it became ridicule.

"In the whole world, no one dares to punish the nine clans of female officials, you are the pillar of our Tianyu, the pillar of the world, if you collapse, the world should be cracked. My father is willing to help me this time, and it is also for your sake, otherwise I will probably be exposed again. ”

Qin Huai didn't care either, the two always lifted each other up like this.

"Princess, don't torture me, no matter what, you are also father and daughter, even if Your Majesty is angry, you will take care of your feelings, I don't have any ideas about this matter, everything is decided by Your Majesty himself."

Father and daughter?

Qin Huai's heart was pricked, and she suddenly stopped, her face full of joy.

"There are some things I may already know, and if you know anything, you don't have to hide it from me."

Mu Guanqing is a female official of Tianyu and an important minister of the imperial court, if she hides something from herself, Qin Huai will not be angry.

After all, when she discovered the secret in the bracelet of the concubine, she did not tell Mu Guanqing for this reason.

In this way, the two stopped on the palace road full of cherry blossoms, and the petals fluttered all the way.

Mu Guanqing is still not surprised, I am afraid that Qin Huai will announce that she is actually a man, and it is estimated that Mu Guanqing will also say: I already knew.

didn't let Qin Huai wait too long, Mu Guanqing pursed her lips, as if she was extremely unintentional, and said her situation.

"What the Tianyu royal family should know, I will know, what I shouldn't know, I can't know anything."

……

"Father, everything is Huai'er's fault, Huai'er insisted on going his own way, forcing the female official to hide it for me and send me out of Beijing, these things have nothing to do with others."

As soon as he entered the imperial study, Qin Huai kowtowed three times in a row, and admitted his mistake for the first time.

Qin Ying on the dragon chair was stunned and took the fold, glanced at Gonggong Cai who was smiling beside him sluggishly, and shook his head secretly.

"Stop pretending, get up. I know why you're doing this, and I don't blame you. ”

Her father still treated her as before, even if she really sat down in the wrong place, her father was not willing to punish her.

"There have been a lot of rumors in Xunyang in those days, and it is clear that they are coming for you, and you should not bear it, but your father should not let you hear so much criticism and let you go your own way. Can you forgive your father for taking poor care during this time? ”

Forgive?

Once a son of heaven, how can you say the word forgiveness, and it is also to yourself.

Qin Huai moved her lips, not daring to get up, she seemed to have been touched by something, and suddenly her eyes turned red.

Yes, twenty years of friendship, she has never changed her identity in the past twenty years, just because her father doted on her.

She is just a princess, an insignificant princess compared to the prince, a princess whose mother died early and everyone is not used to it, but her father gave him all his favor.

If this is not a father and daughter, then what is?

"Actually, my daughter hasn't done well enough in the past 20 years...... If so, if I had acted a little more like a princess, if I had been less rude and willful...... It's about learning something from the princes, so that it won't make my father so embarrassed...... Maybe they wouldn't think so. ”

Qin Huai had no way to restrain her crying, she didn't know how to face her father, and she didn't know how to overcome this momentary collapse.

"This matter has passed, you have supervised the merit and calmed down the epidemic in Xiangzhou, this matter should be rewarded."

At this time, Qin Ying did not delve into her words, but regarded her sadness as a grievance and confiding in what she saw and heard along the way.

"Father doesn't want to put any pressure on you, you don't have to be Tianyu's backer like your brothers, Father only wants you to be happy and you can do what you want."
