Lu Wenru's heart was stirred when he was asked, and his mind flew back and said: "Uncle, the villain thinks that this is a sign that the saint trusts you. ”

This is not enough to win Lu Heng's trust. But Lu Heng felt a little more comfortable when he heard it.

"Trust? Does the Holy One not trust Prince Zhongshun? ”

Lu Wenru said: "The villain doesn't know so much, but you see that Prince Zhongshun's career has gone downhill in recent years, not to mention that his military power has been seized several times, and his family is still dead. The Holy One said that he was the sworn brother of Prince Zhongshun, but in fact, there were also people who impeached Prince Zhongshun many times, not to mention the ill-treatment that was put on the surface. ”

Lu Wenru said while observing Lu Heng's face, seeing that Lu Heng's face was slightly softened, he continued: "Uncle and Prince Zhongshun are different. Uncle has a century-old family behind him as the foundation, and the saint practiced Zuo at the beginning thanks to the support of the Lu family, whether it is economically or personally, the Lu family and the old family of the former Northern Hebei Kingdom are complementary to each other, that is, the intertwined relationship in the imperial court, and the key point is also indispensable to the arrangement of the Lu family. Therefore, the Holy One attaches great importance to you, which is different from Prince Zhongshun's rootless martial arts background. ”

Lu Wenru's every word scratched the itch in Lu Heng's heart, and after saying a few words, Lu Heng was already a lot more angry.

Lu Heng sighed and said, "It's already a trouble to greet Utkin Khan and Kedun, let alone escort people into Beijing?" Once you leave Huichuan, the treasure thing will come to a standstill. There will be many unexpected changes that will happen at that time, and the treasure is now only known to you, me and Lu Xiong. But if I leave Huichuan and leave everything to Heaven's will, who can guarantee that Xiao Xiao will never know? I am in the capital, and I will be beyond the reach of the whip at that time, and it will only increase the annoyance. ”

When Lu Wenru heard this, he immediately made a big salute: "Uncle, the villain will always be loyal to the uncle, all your affairs, the villain is absolutely tight-lipped, and will never reveal half a sentence to anyone at will." ”

Seeing his nervous appearance, Lu Heng couldn't help laughing, "Come on, I can't trust you?" I said this, not to target you, let alone that Lu Xiong would leak secrets, he was guarded so strictly, if he could still leak secrets, my group of people could also wash their necks and wait. I'm just saying providence. ”

Lu Heng's smile gradually faded, and he frowned worriedly, "Providence is mysterious and mysterious, and no one can say whether it really exists." In the past, I only thought I was the pride of heaven from a family, but after a while, I found that there was only so much that I could do when I achieved the ultimate in manpower. I fear that Heaven will not allow me to obtain the treasure. ”

Lu Wenru lowered his eyes and thought about it, and couldn't find the words to deal with it for a while. After a while, Fang racked his brains and squeezed out a sentence: "It would be good if the Tatar Khan and his party could come later, or let them stay after they came, and enter Beijing later." ”

When Lu Heng heard this, it was like an empowerment at first glance.

His mind was too chaotic, and at this time, he was not as thorough as the dull Lu Wenru.

"You are usually quiet, but the suggestions you made at critical moments are useful." Lu Heng laughed.

Lu Wenru said a little at a loss: "Uncle, the villain is shallow, and what he says should not be true." ”

"No, you're right."

Lu Heng stood up, the previous irritability was swept away, and he regained his previous calmness and ability, paced to the bedside with his hands in his hands, looked at the small puddle of rain outside the half-opened window, and slowly burst into a smile.

"You're right, you have to think of something to keep people for the time being."

Lu Wenru didn't dare to answer, vaguely felt that he had heard something terrible again, and lowered his head deeply.

Qin Yining thought that since the queen came here, although she was ordered to pray for the early end of the natural disaster, it was impossible to stay in the Buddha hall for twelve hours a day, she and Bian Ruohan were the only ones here who were qualified to accompany the queen, and the queen would naturally look for her to talk.

But I waited for three days before waiting for the little chamberlain beside the queen.

"Princess, Niangniang, please go."

Qin Yining immediately responded, asked someone to go and talk to Xiao Xiao, and then took Jiyun and rock candy and went out in a carriage to the villa prepared by Lu Heng for the placement of the queen and Concubine Zhuang.

The other garden is much more spacious and luxurious than the yamen, there are many guards outside the other garden, closely guarded, Qin Yining was ordered to get out of the car in front of the porch with Jiyun and rock candy, and called the servants to carefully inspect it, and made sure that they did not bring any murder weapons and poisons on them before they were allowed to enter the door.

Following the servant woman along the verandah to the back house of the house, Bingtang and Jiyun invariably looked serious and looked at the surrounding situation nervously.

Bingtang approached Qin Yining's ear and whispered in an angry voice: "Princess, why do you think that the atmosphere is not quite right. It's like the time you ...... when you entered the palace."

Qin Yining was almost framed for murdering the imperial heir when he "lived in the palace", and later was locked up in the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace without eating or drinking and almost starved to death.

Qin Yining shook his head and made a gesture of boos.

Bingtang immediately understood what Qin Yining meant, and said no more.

After passing the Hanging Flower Gate, Qin Yining saw several attendants also guarding him. Seeing that Qin Yining was coming with two maidservants, he checked it again.

After checking and confirming that there were no abnormalities, an attendant led the way.

"Don't blame the princess, the slaves and maids are also acting cautiously, and they don't have any disrespect for the princess."

Qin Yining smiled and shook his head, "This father-in-law is polite, what you have done is just a matter of duty, which is understandable." ”

The little chamberlain arched his hand with a smile, "Oh, thank you for your understanding." It is often said that the princess is the most sympathetic person, and this is true. ”

Qin Yining only smiled when he heard this.

Seeing that Qin Yining didn't seem to want to say much, the little waiter also closed his mouth knowingly, and led Qin Yining and the two maidservants to the main house with a smile.

"Princess, please."

Qin Yining smiled and bowed his head.

The little chamberlain went in to spread the word, and after a while, he saw the curtain cage lifted, and the grandmother Sun beside the queen walked out quickly, and bowed to Qin Yining under the corridor: "The slave maid has seen the princess." ”

"Mama excuse me, you are the old man next to the queen's mother, don't be like this."

Grandma Sun looked at Qin Yining with a smile in her eyes, "Niangniang is waiting for you, please come with the slave." ”

Qin Yining said "There is labor", and followed Grandma Sun into the door.

There is a faint fragrance in the room, like mint, and like an elegant floral fragrance. Due to the rain for several days, the weather still has a feeling of wet and cold spring, in order to avoid dampness, the house burned a warm kang, and the bead curtain was lifted to the side, the stronger the fragrance, Qin Yining determined that the fragrance was emitted from the nine-ear carved peony pattern incense burner placed in the ground.

The queen wore a true red narrow-sleeved collared gown, a pomegranate skirt, long hair with a peony bun, and three finch hairpins with finch feathers and gold silk inserted side by side, a crested hairpin was worn on the other side, and the phoenix mouth also held a matte east pearl. Although he is old and his complexion is ordinary, his graceful bearing is undisguised.

Qin Yining knelt down respectfully and saluted, "The courtiers greet the queen." ”

"Excuse me." The queen smiled and raised her hand, and Mama Sun immediately helped Qin Yining to get up, then turned around with a smile, called the palace people who were traveling with her, and also called away Bingtang and Jiyun by the way.

Even if there are 10,000 rock candy and Jiyun who are not at ease, they have no choice but to obey.

Qin Yining saw that there was no one else in the room out of the corner of his eye, so he knew that the queen must have something important to say, so he looked down and waited for the queen to speak.

Because of the angle of bowing his head, Qin Yining did not see the complicated look on the queen's face.

When she looked at Qin Yining, her eyes were full of scrutiny and speculation, as if she had only met Qin Yining for the first time today, and it was not the closeness of the past and the helplessness brought about by the different positions of her husband.

"Prince Zhongshun came to Huichuan, are you still used to it?"

Qin Yining felt that something was wrong when she heard the queen's name for her, in the past, the queen directly called her princess, and sometimes even called her sisters, but today's title gives people a very distant feeling.

Qin Yining knew that something must have happened when she didn't know it, which made the queen's impression of her change.

Qin Yining said cautiously: "Back to Niangniang, when the courtiers came to Huichuan, they were not used to it at first, but then they slowly got used to it. ”

"Oh? Is it. ”

Qin Yining said: "Yes, the prince is sick, and the courtiers have to find a suitable house when they come, and it has taken eight distractions to catch up with the bad weather, and the courtiers are drenched in the rain and suffer from the cold, which is fine, and then the courtiers found the house, and they were broken in and smashed, and a lot of valuable objects were snatched...... In short, the matter is very complicated, and it is really hard to work hard. ”

Qin Yining's speed of speech was extremely slow when he replied, but his mind was moving quickly. There was no grudge between her and the Empress, and though they knew that they would inevitably lead to differences in their positions with each other's husbands in the future, they could still be friends who said something inconsequential.

In addition, when the queen first came, her attitude towards her was still very intimate, and there was no reason to change for no reason.

Therefore, someone must have slandered the queen when she didn't know. And here, the most likely person to do this is Bian Ruohan, not to mention that the concubine brought by the queen is still Bian Ruohan's cousin.

With such an analysis, Qin Yining can already be sure that the queen must be because of her affair with Bian Ruohan.

In some cases, the contradiction between her and Bian Ruohan was known to the queen.

If it's not good, I can't say that Bian Ruohan still arranged her in front of the queen.

Sure enough, when the queen heard Qin Yining's words, her brows furrowed slightly, she did not immediately make a stand, but pretended to be surprised and said, "Is there really such a thing?" In Huichuan County, who else dares to go to Prince Zhongshun to rob the house? ”

Qin Yining smiled bitterly and said: "The queen mother is extremely smart, so naturally she has already guessed that the other party is Mrs. Zhongyibo." Mrs. Zhongyibo has a deep prejudice against me, and I tolerate it in every possible way, but she is entangled, which is really annoying. ”
