When Zhu Rong returned home, Mrs. Qin had already left, and the old lady tried her best to prove that her children had nothing to do with Qin Ying's disappearance, but at this moment she had to ask her grandson: "Is it really irrelevant to you?" When you discussed with Kaijiang last night, I didn't think you would sit idly by. ”

Zhu Rong said seriously: "I was busy sending my father to the manor, how could I have the heart to take care of the Qin family's affairs, but I had the heart to open the territory last night, and I stopped it." Grandma, I'll ask him later, it's better for him not to meddle in his affairs, after all, he is replacing the eldest princess and relatives, and it is really not suitable for him, the future prospective horse, to mix in. ”

The old lady carefully looked at her grandson's expression, although she was not very sure, but she could see that her grandson was not lying, so she said: "I thought in my heart, if I can't find it, it's good to not find it." dragged to the end, if he could leave the girl behind, he would not be too sad there, no matter whether they succeeded or not, he would not leave a lifetime of worry and guilt in his heart. ”

Zhu Rong said: "I think so too, but things have to be clarified, at least our family has to clear up the relationship." ”

The old lady said: "You look at it, I'm afraid that you will inquire clearly, but you will get involved, it is better not to know." That kid can't let the bandits kidnap him, tell me to see, either hide by himself, or be taken away by someone he knows, and as soon as the matter of harmony is over, he will naturally come back. ”

Zhu Rong said: "After all, it's another family's business, don't bother, your grandson will be measured." Fang just received Pingli's flying pigeon message, they have already left for Beijing, and they also mentioned two sentences, saying that the eldest lady turned the crisis into safety. ”

The old lady sighed: "Amitabha, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, I hope she will be better after all." Rong'er, how is your father, he was angry with you, didn't he eat you? ”

Zhu Rong didn't shy away from it: "I was scratched by the ear, okay, I'm sorry for him, but I can't help it." Grandma, I can't let him drag the whole family to death, I listen to this matter, she is good to my father, and they have no feelings for the queen mother and the former prince, she is more decisive than me, so as to avoid future troubles. ”

The old lady comforted her grandson: "It's good if you have an idea, grandma just wants to spare his life, and I don't care about anything else." ”

Zhu Rong bowed and retired, and before leaving, he once again advised his grandmother not to worry about Qin Ying, but when he left home, he went straight to the military headquarters.

Outside the yamen of the military department, Kaijiang was summoned to go out, and said angrily: "You can't come in to see me, I'm busy." ”

Zhu Rong said cautiously: "In the eyes of the first emperor, you and I were just milky boys, some things did not follow the rules, in his opinion, there was no difference between foolishness and nonsense, and he never cared. But now that you and I are in charge, there must be taboos between various departments, otherwise we will all mess up the rules. ”

"False serious, hurry up and say, what's the matter." Kaijiang was impatient, "My father is urging me, I can't finish today's work, I will be scolded again, the old man is about to kill me recently." ”

Zhu Rong asked: "So, you are so busy that you don't have time to take care of the affairs of the Qin Mansion?" ”

Kaijiang didn't understand: "What do you mean?" ”

Zhu Rong said: "Qin Ying is gone. ”

Kaijiang was stunned for a moment and thought for a while: "What, do you think I did it?" Do I seem that kind? ”

"Don't be poor." Zhu Rong said angrily, "It's really not you, it has nothing to do with us?" ”

"Don't be you, right?" Kaijiang smiled, "How much do you hurt Pingli, when I don't know?" ”

Zhu Rong said: "I love him, and I will exchange the lives and safety of the whole clan?" Okay, since it's not you, that's easy. ”

Kaijiang didn't understand again: "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

Zhu Rong said: "Check it out for me, who will do it." ”

Kaijiang asked: "What if you find out, don't you just don't want her to kiss?" I think this is a good thing, let's not mix things up blindly, it will backfire and cause a lot of trouble. ”

Zhu Rong said: "I feel that there is something strange about this matter, and I have to figure it out." ”

Kaijiang shook his head and sighed helplessly: "I'll give you news tomorrow morning at the latest." ”

Zhu Rong patted his brother's shoulder: "When you and the eldest princess get married, whatever you want, just ask, just agree." ”

Kaijiang pushed him away in disgust: "Take back the last sentence, come out!" ”

After leaving the military department, Zhu Rong went to the north gate of the imperial city again, and after waiting for the familiar chamberlain, he conveyed the things mentioned in the Pingli flying pigeon biography to the queen.

In the study room of the Middle Palace, Han Zhi was flipping through the poetry collection compiled by Fu Yi, and it was difficult for her to collect and sort out the poems recited by the ladies of various mansions at the two garden parties in such a tight time.

At this time, the palace maid came to pass the word and said softly: "Niangniang, the third prince in the house has passed the word, and the lady has turned the corner." ”

Hanzhi nodded, naturally she had already gotten the news early this morning.

Seeing that the queen didn't care, the palace maid in charge was about to retreat, but was stopped by Han Zhi and asked, "That's it?" ”

"Yes, do you have any instructions?"

"He didn't say that the daughter of the Qin family is missing?"

The palace maid in charge shook her head: "The messenger didn't mention it, or is the slave maid going to ask carefully?" ”

Han Zhi said: "That's it, he may not know it yet, but this shouldn't be, Taiwei Qin has come to the door, there is no reason why he doesn't know." ”

The palace maid asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Han Zhi smiled and said: "That kid is playing tricks with me, let him be, I have another thing to tell you, send someone to inquire about my fifth brother's homework, but don't alarm the school." ”

The palace maid in charge commanded: "The slave and maid understand." ”

In the evening, the sun was setting, and Pingrui returned home, just in time for Pingrui to return from the school.

Seeing his younger brother walking towards the house with his back bent, Ping Rui caught up and slapped his younger brother on the back: "At a young age, you can learn to be old." ”

Ping Jue was startled, his brows were almost twisted together,

But seeing that it was the second brother, he saluted respectfully: "Second brother, come back early today." ”

Ping Rui smiled: "Thinking about your second sister-in-law, it's rare to be free, so I'll come back early." Look, straighten your back, you're a lot taller, and even though you're not as strong as your brothers, don't make yourself weak, and be a child. ”

"Yes, second brother, I'm just tired." Ping Jue said, "I'll just rest for a while." ”

Ping Rui touched his brother's forehead and said, "It's not good to look at your complexion, go back and rest earlier, now that Aunt Liu is taking care of you, don't hurt your body too hard, but become your aunt's." ”

Ping Jue responded one by one, and separated from the second brother halfway through the road, he breathed a long sigh of relief, unconsciously stiffened his back again, and dragged his tired body back to the small courtyard where he lived with his sister and mother.

Aunt Liu was already waiting in front of the door, and she was very happy to see her son, so she greeted her and asked, "Jue'er, are you hungry?" ”

Ping Jue shook his head: "Mother, I'm very tired, sleep first, don't wait for me, if you wake up in the middle of the night, just eat two bites." ”

Aunt Liu hurriedly said: "Don't worry, you stayed up for half a night last night, go make up for sleep first." ”

I saw Yingzhi come out of the room, and saw his younger brother drooping his head, walking heavily to his room, walking to his mother's side and asking, "Pingjue is not eating again?" ”

Aunt Liu said: "I'm not afraid that he will be hungry, the little guys pick him up every day, they all bring snacks, he stays up late to endorse books, naturally he is tired." ”

Yingzhi didn't say anything, only said, "I'll go and say hello to grandma." ”

Aunt Liu smiled: "Go ahead, greet the old lady for me." ”

However, Yingzhi left the small courtyard and did not go to the inner courtyard to find her grandmother, but wandered around the garden, until the next person came to spread the word that the third prince had returned, and she hurried to Qingqiu Pavilion.

Zhu Rong saw the figure of the third sister from afar, and saw her shrug her shoulders and sigh, so she quickened her pace.

"Why don't you go in and wait?" Zhu Rong said distressedly, "At this time, I am recruiting little insects, standing under the flowers, how can I be bitten?" ”

Yingzhi said: "Sister-in-law is not at home, you are not here, it is rare for people to be idle, I ran to sit, they have to stand up again, it should be suspicious." ”

Zhu Rong said angrily: "How can they bother you, don't have such scruples next time, our girl, don't live a cautious life, now that the eldest lady is gone, are you uncomfortable?" ”

Yingzhi said seriously: "Where does my brother know housework and get along with his subordinates, that's a university question." ”

Zhu Rong smiled: "Yes, yes, you all understand university questions, and your tone is becoming more and more like your third sister-in-law." ”

"Brother......" Yingzhi showed a look of embarrassment, "I'm not here to gossip with you, there is something important, Ping Jue has not been very good recently, my mother is always cautious, everything follows him, and she doesn't dare to ask more questions." ”

Zhu Rong took his sister into the door, exempted the maid from serving tea, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Counting carefully, there were more than ten days before and after, Ping Jue stayed up late every day to read books and endorse books, but he couldn't get up in the morning, and the family always sent him to the school in a hurry.

After going home in the evening, I was so tired that I didn't eat and just wanted to sleep, and I slept until I got up in the middle of the night and then stayed up late to read books, so a vicious circle, seeing that the body that was easy to raise became yellow and thin.

Yingzhi said: "It's okay to be tired, I always feel that he has something on his mind, but whenever he is awake, he either writes or endorses, and he doesn't talk to anyone, my mother doesn't dare to disturb him, and she doesn't let me ask." Third brother, you are so busy, I shouldn't have bothered you, but we are brothers and sisters of one father, and I don't necessarily want to bother the eldest brother and the second brother......"

Zhu Rong said angrily: "Brother doesn't care about you, which one cares, blame me for being too busy recently and ignoring Ping Jue." ”

Yingzhi said: "Don't ask him so directly, it will scare him." ”

Zhu Rong shook his head: "Brother is measured." ”
