Qin Yining looked at Grandma Sun blankly, and didn't speak for a long time.

The wooden comb in Rock Candy's hand fell to the ground with a click.

"Grandma Sun, you mean that my father was killed?"

Grandma Sun couldn't bear to open her eyes, and nodded heavily, "The saint just talked to the queen mother in Kunning Palace, and when someone went back and forth to the saint, the queen mother heard an ear next to her, and the saint left in a hurry. The queen will tell the slave to tell you. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Mama Sun said again: "Actually, Niangniang said that the Holy Lord may tell you about this matter, and she can't tell you in advance, but in the end, I want to have a relationship with you." ”

This last sentence is very meaningful.

The Holy Lord may have told her, which means that there is a high probability that he will not tell her.

If Li Qitian insisted on keeping her in the palace, then if she didn't tell her that something had happened to the Qin family, she would have no reason to leave. Anyway, as long as she is still in the palace, as long as Li Qitian wants to, she has no channel to know the news outside.

The corners of Qin Yining's lips twitched, his dry eyes turned slowly, his eyes were already red, and his voice was difficult: "Thank you, Queen Mother." Please tell the queen that the courtiers must be cautious and will not make people suspicious of the queen. ”

Hearing Qin Yining say this, Mama Sun sighed and couldn't help laughing: "The princess is an understanding person. And the slave and maid withdrew. ”

"Jiyun, help me send Mama."

"Yes."

Jiyun politely sent Grandma Sun out.

Qin Yining sat in place with his hands folded on his knees, looking at his face in the makeup mirror.

Everyone said that her appearance was seven points like her father when she was a teenager, but now that her father is old and has a beard, she can no longer find immaturity and handsomeness on her wrinkled face, and has become elegant and calm after years of precipitation.

Qin Yining's fingers slowly stroked his cheeks.

A tear slipped down from the red right eye and fell into the palm of his hand, which was very hot.

Father is dead?

She tried her best to pass the news out and ask for help from the people in the setting moon, but was it still too late?

Li Qitian pretended to be stupid in front of Xungui, and his face was not used to deal with her, so it was very likely that his father would also move at the same time. In these short twenty days, the people of Xiyue may not have time to get out of the desert at all......

It was as if his brain had frozen, and he had completely lost the ability to think.

Qin Yining looked at himself in the mirror, but what he thought of was his father.

When she had just returned home, her mother suspected that she was not her own and made things difficult for her, and her grandmother and sisters did not like her, although her father did not reveal his feelings at first, and as a man, he would not interfere with the affairs of the inner house. But every time she encountered difficulties, every time she was involved in the struggle of the imperial court, it was always her father who taught her and helped her.

She was her father's only child. Her father didn't care that she was a woman, and raised her as a son. The love that she couldn't feel in others, her father was the first to give her.

Such a good father, is he really gone?

Qin Yining kept wiping the wetness on her face, but she couldn't wipe it clean, intellectually she knew that she should be calm and not be seen by anyone, she also promised Mama Sun just now that she would not cause trouble to the queen......

"Princess, you, don't be sad, you ......" Bingtang and Jiyun looked at Qin Yining who was crying helplessly, only hating himself for being clumsy, and he didn't know how to persuade and comfort.

"I know, I know." Qin Yining lowered her head, grabbed the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands, and her voice was hoarse, "I can't cry, I can't let people look at my eyes are red and swollen, I live in the palace, am I still wronged?" It's going to leave people with a handle. But I, I don't know what's wrong, the tears just come out on their own, what's wrong with me......"

"Princess." Bingtang sobbed and hugged Qin Yining, "Princess, don't wronged yourself, cry if you want to, you were wronged, what's the point of crying?" Your heart is bitter, and the slaves and maids know it. ”

Jiyun also opened his arms to hug Bingtang and Qin Yining, crying and cursing: "Whoever kills a thousand knives, sooner or later, I will cut that dog with a thousand knives!" ”

Qin Yining closed her eyes and clenched her teeth to prevent herself from making a sound, her hatred had never been as strong as it was now.

This world cannot tolerate kindness and benevolence. In her early years, when she experienced that bloody tribulation in the Great Yan Qin family, she already understood. But she still retains a bit of innocence......

Qin Yining even regretted it, if she had found a way to kill Li Qitian earlier, would everything not have happened?

However, she is just an ordinary woman, and there is no regret medicine to take in this world.

At this time, in the Qingxin Palace, Li Qitian was staring at the black-clothed man kneeling in front of him with a dark face.

"What did I tell you? Well? How do you do it? ”

"The Holy One is angry, and the ministers are incompetent. The minister dared to guarantee that the people on the road he found were extremely reliable, and the minister could not have imagined that Lord Qin, grain and grass and other things would suddenly disappear. ”

"Suddenly gone?" Li Qitian laughed angrily, "Although it is outside the Heavenly Domain, it is not a ghostly and gloomy place, right?" Without warning, even people and things suddenly disappeared? Isn't it that the bandits you are looking for have made an old mistake again, and they have brought me a black and a black eat, right?! ”

"The Holy One is angry." The man in black pressed his forehead to the ground, trembling like chaff.

Li Qitian paced around the black-clothed man with his hands, although he wanted to get rid of Qin Huaiyuan, but the things he brought with the army were real money, silver, cloth and grain!

"I asked you to kill, and you told me that I don't know if I killed or not. Not only did the mission not be completed, but I lost everything! What's the use of me asking you for a bucket like this! The more Li Qitian thought about it, the more angry he became, and kicked the man on the shoulder.

The man in black was kicked and rolled around, hurriedly got up and knelt upright again, kowtowed, and said, "The Holy One is angry!" ”

"Rubbish!"

The man in black kowtowed repeatedly.

Li Qitian closed his eyes, put his hands behind his back, raised his head violently, took a deep breath, closed his eyes and slowly exhaled, like inhaling a puff of dry smoke.

When he spoke again, Li Qitian was already very calm.

"Get down here and get punished."

"Yes, thank you for your grace not to kill!" The man in black retreated as if he had been pardoned.

Li Qitian's hands were clenched into fists, and he slowly closed his eyes in the hall with his negative hands, and the chaotic emotions under the anger gradually precipitated, and his thoughts gradually became clear.

Qin Huaiyuan disappeared along with the goods, and what remained in place was the corpse of the escort army, what does this mean?

It may be that there is a problem with the person he arranged, and there is a black and black food, and even people and things are robbed, and there will be a follow-up later.

It is also possible that the Tatars knew about Qin Huaiyuan's army and ordered people to come and loot to avenge the defeat.

But there is another possibility, Qin Huaiyuan took a large amount of gold, silver, grain and grass to the Tatars and rebelled out of the imperial court!

As an emperor, Li Qitian is still confident in his status and appeal.

He ordered people to find a group of Jiangyang thieves, the purpose is to kill Qin Huaiyuan, after the fact, these people will be taken for their own use, for them it is equivalent to having a recognized identity, but the little bandit can be today's subordinates, how lucky is this?

Li Qitian did not think that these bandits would give up the opportunity to walk under the light.

In this way, Qin Huaiyuan has the greatest possibility of absconding with grain, grass and property.

Li Qitian sneered, slowly returned to the window and sat down on the warm kang with a bright yellow mattress, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of slightly cold tea.

After a while, he said, "Xiong Jinshui." ”

The chief eunuch, who had been standing in the corner without any sense of existence, immediately stepped forward and saluted, "The slave and maid are here." ”

"Go to the palace and tell the Qin family that Qin Huaiyuan's old thing was intercepted and killed outside the Heavenly Domain Pass, and there are no bones left, let the family take care of it themselves."

"Yes." Xiong Jinshui did not leave immediately.

As usual, at this time, the Holy Lord should still have arrangements, such as what to posthumously seal, or what to reward.

can bear Jinshui's sophistication and tactfulness, and it was immediately clear that Li Qitian did not mean to continue speaking.

Xiong Jinshui immediately bowed down and retreated. lest you stay too long and be angered by the Holy One.

When he got outside, Xiong Jinshui quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the Qin family has completely angered Tianwei, and when the person died, he didn't even have a posthumous seal. If the saint does not express his position, does not state his merits and does not confess his sins, what can he do with the funeral of Lord Qin? Lord Qin died, was he martyred for the imperial court, or did he lose his life because of his own mistakes?

Xiong Jinshui didn't know how to make a fuss, so he didn't think about it, and only told the Qin family what Fang Cai said according to Li Qitian's instructions.

The second and third masters of Qin were already wide-eyed at this time, and said in disbelief: "This father-in-law, do you mean to say, my eldest brother, he died in his duties?" ”

Xiong Jinshui said: "Lord Qin did not do a good job, lost the gold, silver, grain and grass that transported the army, died outside the pass, and there were no bones. ”

Xiong Jinshui said, no longer stop at the Qin family, and bowed his hand and retreated.

The second master and the third grandfather sat on the ground in disbelief, and the reality did not allow them not to believe it.

"Big brother, really, it's gone?"

"Well, how can I tell my mother?"

How so? Qin Huaiyuan is the heart of the old lady, no matter how angry the old lady is, or how wrong she is, as long as there is Qin Huaiyuan, she can make the old lady quickly dissipate her anger, and she can also persuade her to make the right choice.

But now, the pillars of the Qin family are suddenly gone!

"Second brother, isn't the meaning of the Holy One too subtle? Listening to Father-in-law Xiong's meaning, why is the matter of the eldest brother, not even counting the death in the line of duty, and vaguely having the meaning of asking about the crime? ”

The third master's face was pale, and he had already thought that the court must have changed again, "Someone must have secretly slandered, and now the saint must be waiting to cure the eldest brother's sin!" ”

"Traveling on business, I encountered a mountain bandit and died outside, and there were no bones left, and the saint didn't have a word of compassion, and let the chamberlain hint that our eldest brother was not doing well, and the saint did ...... in this matter."

What the hell is the truth of this?
