When Pan Yueqing came back, the sky was slightly bright, the dew had not yet dissipated, Shanshan had not woken up on the couch in the ancestral hall, and only vaguely felt that someone had put a blanket on him, vaguely knew who it was, but he didn't have the strength to open his eyes and see.

"Sir." Su Qi lowered his voice and asked, "Didn't you come back tomorrow?" ”

"I'll be back after lighting today's lamp." Pan Yueqing looked at the charcoal in the stove, got up and said, "Look at it, don't let her get cold." ”

Su Qi responded, watched Pan Yueqing walk out the door, and wondered, "You still want to go out?" ”

"I just went to my mother's yard to say goodbye. She came back before she woke up. ”

Gradually, the voices quieted down, and silence returned to the room, and Shanshan didn't struggle for long before falling asleep again.

I even slept more peacefully.

"Sir." From a distance, Granny Long saw Pan Yueqing, hurriedly greeted her, and greeted An Dao with a smile, "I knew you were coming back soon." ”

"Granny Dragon." Pan Yueqing stepped forward to help him and asked, "Is my mother awake?" ”

Granny Long led Pan Yueqing into the courtyard and said, "I have been waking up early all these years, and I woke up half an hour ago. ”

"How about the medicine prescribed by the hospital?"

"It's old, it's not a matter of medicine." Granny Long shook her head and said in a low voice, "It doesn't have much effect. ”

Pan Yueqing's heart sank, bowed slightly, opened the curtain and walked in, Mrs. Pan was sitting at the table fiddling with today's fresh flowers and plants, the candle flame reflected the old man's hair, and the shining silver light jumped in it, gorgeous and dazzling.

"Mother."

Old Madam Pan paused slightly, turned her head to look at Pan Yueqing, and said with a smile: "Are you back?" While asking someone to light more lights, "The lights are too dim to see you clearly." ”

Pan Yueqing frowned slightly: "Why did you only light the lamp at this time?" ”

"I told them not to be too early, and it didn't matter when they woke up in the morning."

"It's been said a long time ago that people will light it together, and this candle doesn't have to be saved. But she didn't listen. Granny Long carried the lamp and put it away, and said angrily while watching the maids arrange it.

As soon as the lights were on, the room seemed less cold.

Pan Yueqing retracted her gaze and looked at Mrs. Pan: "Mother, now it's different from before, you don't have to be so economical." ”

"I know, it's just a coincidence, you didn't light up today, and you came." Mrs. Pan held Pan Yueqing's hand and patted it, and teased, "It's been many years since you came to greet me so early, it's for your trouble-loving lady, right?" ”

"Not exactly." Pan Yueqing said, "There will be something going on in the court after a while, and I probably don't have time to say hello to you again, so I'll come to see you today." ”

Mrs. Pan nodded: "Political affairs are important, but you also have to take care of your own body." But I want to tell you, this Song Xi is not a fuel-efficient lamp, your daughter-in-law has a intestine to the bottom, there is not much trouble today, I can still protect it, but if it is big in the future, I can't protect her. To put it mildly, after all, Song Xi is behind the Taiwei Mansion and the Queen Mother. ”

Pan Yueqing didn't speak, and Mrs. Pan said again: "You should have heard about yesterday's incident, even if Song Xiqian shouldn't have messed with her, there are dozens of ways to deal with people, if not a hundred, why do you have to use the most unpopular and tongue-in-cheek?" Endure it for a few days and find some way to deal with her in a bright and bright way, isn't it still angry? ”

Pan Yueqing was silent for a while, and said to Granny Long: "Auntie, please guard the door." ”

After the maids retreated, and the door was gently closed, Pan Yueqing took out a small cyan medicine bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Mrs. Pan: "This medicine, my mother probably recognizes it." ”

The children of poor families know a little bit of pharmacological knowledge, after all, they have to go up the mountain to collect medicine by themselves when they are sick, and Mrs. Pan also did a business of buying and selling medicinal materials in order to support her family when she was young, and she understands it even more.

"Green bottles are generally not good medicines...... "Old Madam Pan took the medicine bottle, sniffed it, and frowned, "Something of the ninth rate." ”

Pan Yueqing nodded: "I asked people to check, although this medicine is ninth-rate, it is actually sold at a high price, and it is mostly circulated between the hooks." ”

"What do you mean?"

"The day before yesterday, on the Buddha Mountain, a monk brought a bowl of vegetarian soup to Shan'er to warm up, and there was this medicine in that bowl of soup." Panyue Qingdao.

Mrs. Pan quickly understood: "What do you mean...... Song Hee did it? ”

Pan Yueqing didn't say yes or no, but continued: "Shan'er doesn't understand pharmacology, and a bowl of soup is drunk clean." Not long after, Song Shubai came, and he received a letter of appointment in Shan'er's handwriting, he grew up with Shan'er since childhood, and he didn't see that it was a fake handwriting, which shows that he also knows Shan'er quite well. ”

"She drank?" Mrs. Pan frowned, "I actually forgot about this stubble, there is no girl around her who understands pharmacology." ”

Pan Yueqing paused slightly: "Don't you ask Song Shubai what ...... later?"

"I still know you and Shan'er somewhat. If it really comes to that point, Shan'er would rather never return to Datang again, or even see you. You too, if this is the case, it will not be Shan'er who will return to the house first, but the news of Song Shubai's death will arrive in the city first. Mrs. Pan shook her head, "It's just that I didn't expect that the girl who grew up in the Taiwei Mansion would have such dirty thoughts." ”

"Someone killed the doctor who supplied the medicine afterwards, and the means were clean and neat, not an ordinary domestic servant." Pan Yueqing said, "Looking at the wound, it looks like a meniscus knife in the desert country. ”

Mrs. Pan was puzzled: "Why is it involved in the desert country again?" ”

"I don't know." Pan Yueqing shook his head, "I'm still investigating, but there aren't many clues, I'm afraid there won't be any gains." ”

"Is it someone who has an idea behind Song Xi's back or is it the aftermath?"

Pan Yueqing said: "I don't have to worry about you, just give you a wake-up call, and be a little wary of Song Xi." In addition, my son didn't have time to explain the reason to you, but you still protected Shan'er, and my son was very grateful. ”

"There is no other, but Shan'er is not bad-hearted, and everything is towards you, there is nothing to be picky about, if she really has nothing to offer, I hope you can choose another virtuous person more than anyone else. It's this Song Xi, the source is unknown, and Shan'er goes straight back, without a heart, which always makes people unable to put their minds at ease. Mrs. Pan sighed, "If the Pan family is not a poor family, you don't have to be tired of being careful everywhere, anyone can stuff people into your house." ”

"If the Pan family is not a poor family, I will not be in the official residence now, and I will sit with Cheng."

Now that the family is intertwined, the one on the seat is indeed jealous of the family.

Old Madam Pan shook her head with a smile and said no more.

On the other side, Shanshan woke up at the time of eating, the smell of incense in the ancestral hall was so strong that people were dizzy, she wrapped herself in the quilt and got out of bed to open the window, and took several breaths of cold air to feel more comfortable.

Before he sighed at the fresh cold air of winter, he was picked up. Shanshan calmed down after being slightly startled, reached out and put his arm around the neck of the visitor, and asked, "Why did you come back so early?" Isn't there another point of the day light? ”

"I've heard anecdotes about my wife in the temple, how can I stay in the mountains with peace of mind?" Pan Yueqing put the girl who was still barefoot in the winter on the couch, took the foot bag from Su Qi's hand, and half-squatted to dress her before the collapse, "There is also a Persian carpet rewarded by His Majesty last year in the warehouse, so that people can spread it upside down and step on it barefoot, and the cold is the easiest to enter the body from the soles of the feet." ”

Shanshan responded, dangling his feet to prevent him from wearing it easily, and said with a smile: "It is rumored that Shangshu Ling is cold and iron-blooded, why is he so gentle and careless today?" ”

"Don't make a fuss." Pan Yueqing held Shanshan's ankles, and there were faint coarse cocoons between the knuckles of the pen all year round, rubbing Shanshan's delicate skin and causing a burst of itching, Shanshan hid back while laughing, but did not cooperate with him.

Pan Yueqing couldn't do it, so she gave up the idea of wearing a foot bag for her, and only wrapped the brocade quilt tightly.

"I haven't asked you yet, has the little monk who brought me vegetarian soup found it?" Shanshan suddenly remembered and hurriedly asked.

"The body was found." Pan Yueqing said, "Someone is very fast. ”

Shanshan frowned and said, "Killed? Can you find out who killed it? ”

"It's a little difficult, but the wound is like a meniscus knife of a desert man, but I'm not sure, Mongolia also uses a scimitar. Cao Xi will take a look at it another day, she should be clear. Pan Yueqing didn't hide it, these dangers were going for her, and if she didn't know anything, it would be even more dangerous.

Shanshan hesitated for a while, but still looked at Pan Yueqing, and said tentatively: "But there are neither desert people nor Mongols behind Song Xi, why ......?"

"Not necessarily. Taiwei has a wide range of friends from all over the world, and his status is not low, even if he doesn't look for desert people, someone will find him. I just don't know what they promised each other. Pan Yueqing didn't seem to notice Shanshan's careful thoughts, and explained, "Recently, the desert is about to move, especially in winter, they must get some things back from Datang, otherwise not many of their clansmen will survive the winter." ”

"But this is a felony of treason with the enemy, and if they are found to have a private deal, they will be punished by the Nine Clans." Shanshan didn't quite understand, "Taiwei is in a high position, and there is nothing that needs to be obtained from the desert people, right?" Besides, what can the desert people give? Aside from being known for their bravery and fighting, there's nothing appealing to us, right? ”

When Pan Yueqing heard this, his eyes sank slightly, and he said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that the desert people can give it, and it happens to be what the Taiwei wants the most." ”

What does that mean? Shanshan had an answer in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it. Now there is only one person in the world who can watch that dragon chair, but what is fatal is that he is the one who can sit on it most justifiably, and his bloodline is purer than that of His Majesty today.

“…… King Cheng is now twenty-five, and it is said that during the autumn hunt, a horse is current, and almost the entire hunting ground is washed in blood. Is this rumor true? Shanshan asked.

"It's like a fake."

Shanshan and Pan Yueqing looked at each other, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes.

The sky of the Tang Dynasty will not be calm for long.
