Silver-faced spies used to do some "dirty work", what world has never seen? It is not difficult for them to bring someone in without alarming them.

Qin Yining had already put on her homely honey-colored gown, and went outside to wake up Qiu Lu, so that someone would not come in and wake up Qiu Lu later, if she screamed, it would not be good.

Qiu Lu looked ashamed, took the headband, carefully tied Qin Yining's half-dry long hair loosely into a bunch, and took the white fox fur to drape it for her.

"It's all slaves and maids who are not good, it should be the slaves and maids who go to night, but the slaves and maids are so confused that they don't even know what happened, they really shouldn't be." Qiu Lu's voice was lowered, and she apologized eagerly, but she was also afraid that she would be listened to by the people in charge of Cheng.

"What's the matter, don't think too much," Qin Yining patted the back of Qiu Lu's hand, "The sting was told to me quietly, think about what his identity is, if he deliberately didn't want people to notice, but you found out, I'm afraid he wouldn't be sad?" ”

Qiu Lu couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, and felt a little better. Qin Yining has always treated them leniently and never cares about trivial matters, but the more generous the master, the more they should not be neglected.

Qiu Lu secretly made up her mind, handed you the hand stove with a moderate temperature, and chose an inconspicuous corner to stand.

At this time, there was a squirming movement outside the window, and Qiu Lu hurriedly opened the window. The stunned sting brought Lu Heng in, and landed silently.

Startled, he turned around and closed the window, careful not to make the slightest noise. Immediately hidden, he also hid in the corner, and did not plan to leave, obviously afraid that there would be any danger if there were only two weak women in the house.

Lu Heng shook the snow on the gray squirrel skin, raised his eyes, and looked at Qin Yining with a smile.

Under the orange-red warm light, Qin Yining's small face the size of half a palm was hidden in the white fox fur collar, his skin was as shiny as jade, his long hair hung down softly behind him, loosely tied with a hairband, and his slender and white hands were holding a delicate small stove the size of an apple, and the whole person only stood there without speaking, like a painting, which made people's hearts soft.

Lu Heng's smile deepened, and he lowered his voice and said, "Long time no see." ”

Qin Yining also laughed in a low voice: "Long time no see." Second Master Lu looks pretty good. ”

Hearing that she didn't call him Zhongyibo, but called herself Second Master Lu as she did when she was in the desert, Lu Heng seemed to warm up to the tips of his fingers from his heart, and even the blood flowing was heating up.

"I'm still the same, and you look pretty good. I heard that you now have two sons? ”

"yes." She was pregnant when she left Beijing, and now her two babies are almost a year old.

Qin Yining's smile became more and more gentle, and he stretched out his hand to invite: "Let's sit down and talk." ”

"Okay."

Qin Yining and Lu Heng went to sit down.

The sting turned off the lights to the darkest and covered the windows with curtains to prevent the shadows from being seen by outsiders.

Qin Yining and Lu Heng lowered their voices and spoke reassuringly.

"I heard that your life with the prince in the south was not very smooth."

"It's fine. I just take the children with me, and I don't need to do anything, the prince has to do the big things. "Qin Yining avoided the important and lightened it.

Lu Heng knew that she would not tell him about the things around him, so he averted the topic knowingly, and explained his intentions bluntly, "After I learned that you were about to return to Beijing as an ambassador to welcome relatives, I arranged for someone to keep an eye on the news of your return to Beijing. ”

Qin Yining nodded.

"I have inquired, Princess Tana, who came with her relatives this time, is the sister of Anari Khan, although she is a concubine, but she has a good relationship with Anari Khan. I've always been very dependent on my sister.。 When Anari Khan died, Princess Tana's eyes were almost blind from crying, and I was afraid that if you became this ambassador, you would cause death. ”

Qin Yining smiled bitterly: "How did I not know the danger in this? But the Holy Providence is so, and I have no other way but to receive it. Fortunately, this is the capital of the Great Zhou, not Tatar, and Princess Tana is here to make peace, so she should also put peace first, right? I don't think she'll be able to do anything about me. ”

Lu Heng shook his head, "If you sincerely want to harm people, aren't there many ways?" You are too simple, and the methods of those women in the palace who are leaning against each other are more vicious than men. Tana wasn't that easy to deal with. ”

"Thank you." Qin Yining's smiling eyes crooked, "I know, I'll pay attention." ”

She has never been willing to live up to the sincere concern of others, and the positions of Xiao Xiao and Lu Heng are getting more and more different, but after all, they are friends who have shared hardships and hardships.

Lu Heng seemed to be slapped by the cat's soft paw pad, which made him hate to pick up the kitten and pet her, in his eyes, Qin Yining was a beautiful and delicate kitten.

Lu Heng's eyes became very soft, and his deep voice became more and more gentle: "I will help you find a way." ”

Qin Yining noticed the thick and ambiguous atmosphere, and was alert, nodded a little uncomfortably, and smiled a little: "Thank you for your kindness, but there is no need." There's no need for me to let you wade into this troubled water, and your own situation is not easy. ”

What she said was naturally the Qiu family's business.

Seeing that Qin Yining seemed to be alert, Lu Heng's love for her in his heart did not decrease but increased.

She was in danger, but she was still faithful to her husband, and did not use the smiling charm of many women to achieve her ends, and he always knew that her character was excellent.

After all, many women flocked to him when they saw him, because he was the head of the Lumen family, a popular person around the saint, and he had the title of Count of Loyalty, and his future was immeasurable.

But Qin Yining has never been like this, as if no matter how much false name he has, in her eyes he is just him.

The more Qin Yining is so loyal to Xiao Xiao and unmoved by his overtures, the more difficult it is for him to give up in his heart, and the more he loves her, not to mention that she also cares about him, and knows that his current situation is tense.

"You and I are friends in trouble, and there are still a lot of things I can do on the territory of Da Zhou, so you don't have to be polite to me. As for my things...... Where is the suppression and jealousy of other families against the Lumen family? I'm used to it. Lu Heng smiled bitterly.

Qin Yining was also speechless for a while.

When she first came to the capital with her father, a woman in the Lu family could be so domineering, and the Lu family once provided a large amount of money for Li Qitian when he fought the country, and had a close relationship with the royal family.

Step by step, the Lu family is still so huge, if she didn't know that there was a Qiu family behind her, and there was a hidden family trying to get close to the government and the opposition, she might feel that the Lumen family was really the head of the major families.

Does Lu Heng know about the hidden family and the manifest family?

Is it only the Qiu family that has that family motto inheritance, or does the Lu family also have it?

Doubts swirl in my mind, but I can't ask them when I'm not sure about the situation.

Qin Yining could only say tentatively: "Is the situation in the DPRK different from before?" ”

Lu Heng liked Qin Yining, not to mention that there was usually no one who could talk to him about these words, so he naturally nodded and said, "It's really different." Anyway, you probably don't like to hear it. In the past, the most prosperous person in the court was Prince Zhongshun, and the most trusted of the civil servants was your father. But things are very different today. ”

"This is also understandable, the most favored one now should be Ji Concubine." Qin Yining deliberately did not comment on Wenchen.

"yes." Lu Heng nodded, and said with emotion, "At the beginning of the mountain, Ji Juma's insistence on saving the driver was meritorious, coupled with Ji Juma's defeat of the Tatars this time, the Tatars who fought bowed down to the vassals, solved a big heart problem of the saint, and he himself was a relative of the emperor, so he naturally won the trust of the saint the most, as for the status of the Lu family, it was different from before." ”

Lu Heng took the initiative to talk about himself, "The Lumen family has been beautiful for too many years, so let's make a big move." Many old ministers in Northern Hebei do not want to see the Lu family now, and even those who are good friends with the Lu family will be excluded.

"You also know that the way to employ people, for example, if you can't protect the people around you, people will also have opinions."

Qin Yining nodded, and sighed lightly with Lu Heng, but in his heart he was shocked by the information revealed in Lu Heng's words.

Originally, the two factions of the well water did not interfere with the river water, but now one of them suddenly targeted the Lu family, and it was obvious that someone was behind it. Combined with what she knew, it was very likely that the Qiu family was implicated with the old ministers of Northern Hebei.

And Lu Heng's appearance doesn't seem to know the existence of the Qiu family, and he seems to attribute all the crux to the conflict between the family and the old ministers.

It's terrible.

The Lu family is a family of more than 100 years, with huge energy and intricate relationships, how can it not be weak, but such a deep-rooted family, after showing signs of rebellion with the old ministers of Northern Hebei, I don't know that the queen mother has other promoters!

Qin Yining wanted to ask Lu Heng if he knew about the relationship between the Hidden Family and the Manifest Family, but he couldn't ask about such things.

She couldn't help but guess, is there a rule about the alternation between the manifest family and the hidden family, only the "hidden" one knows, and the "visible" one doesn't know?

Qin Yining's eyes were contemplative.

Her appearance was in Lu Heng's eyes, and she was worried about him.

Come to think of it, even if she and him don't have a relationship between men and women, she really cares about him in her heart and regards him as a friend.

Lu Heng's whole person seemed to be immersed in a hot spring, feeling warm and comfortable all over his body in winter, if he wasn't still sensible, he would almost step forward and hug Qin Yining.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, which frightened several people who were thinking about it in the silence of the night.

Qin Yining stood up suddenly, looked at the door defensively, and then immediately took off the big hat, turned over and lay down and covered the quilt.

The sting also scurried and hid in the shadow of the cabinet.

Lu Heng's face was slightly gloomy, his fists were clenched, his whole body was tense, and he tiptoed behind the curtain in the corner.

Qiu Lu looked at Qin Yining, and when she saw that Qin Yining was ready, she scattered her hair, unbuttoned it, and deliberately pulled her shoes to the door, and lowered her voice: "Who?" ”
