Qin Huaiyuan said, and then raised his voice to call people: "Go and invite Miss Tang to come over." ”

Qitai, who was waiting outside, should be immediately.

After a while, Rock Candy came in the door to salute.

"Hou Ye Wanfu."

"Miss Tang doesn't have to be polite. I also have to bother you to go to the inner house to get a dress for Sister Yi'er, and then quietly bring medicine to treat Sister Yi'er's wounds. ”

Hearing this, Bingtang immediately understood that Qin Huaiyuan was hinting that her today's affairs could not be leaked, and nodded seriously: "Yes, the slave will go." ”

"There's Miss Rauthorn." Qin Huaiyuan saw that she was a little transparent, so he smiled and saluted.

"Slaves and maids don't dare, it's the duty of slaves and maids to serve girls." Rock Candy bowed his head and retreated.

Qin Huaiyuan ordered Qitai to guard outside, no one was allowed to take a step close to the study, everything was arranged, and then he looked at Qin Yining inquiringly.

Qin Yining carefully explained today's events to Qin Huaiyuan without concealing it.

Qin Huaiyuan was silent for a long time when he heard this, and looked down at the pattern of carp playing lotus on the blue and white porcelain bowl on the table, not like he was in a daze, nor like thinking, he just sat so quietly.

But Qin Yining knew that Qin Huaiyuan must have turned the river and the sea in his heart, there were many things that would be connected, and there were also many things that were difficult to choose.

After a long time of incense, Qin Huaiyuan said: "We went back to Kyoto that day, you went back to the house first, and your father was stationed outside the city, and the next day the emperor arranged a welcoming ceremony, but suddenly an assassin assassinated." ”

Qin Yining straightened his back and looked at Qin Huaiyuan seriously.

Qin Huaiyuan smiled and said, "Soon after my father entered the palace with the emperor that day, the silver-faced spy in the emperor's hand sent a copy of the investigation results to the emperor. The emperor threw me the secret report. It said that the assassins were two groups of people, one of whom committed suicide has not yet been identified, and the other group was captured alive and tortured and confessed, and they were all members of the Blue Sky League. And the silver-faced spy has already found out that the leader of the Blue Sky Alliance is your grandmother. ”

Qin Yining was stunned when he heard this, many broken clues were connected one by one, and there were reasons for so many things that had happened recently.

"So, the emperor suddenly wants to show my mother's head to the public, in order to lure my grandmother to save people?"

Qin Huaiyuan nodded heavily, "The emperor was furious that day, and his father could only compromise and was detained by the emperor in a separate room. You can't meddle in the rest of the matter, and you can't get the word out. Fortunately, the little prince stirred up the matter, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

Qin Yining sweated on his forehead and muttered: "Actually, that day, I also recruited someone who planned to rob the law field, thanks to Xiao Zhixi, otherwise it would not only be the Qingtian League, but also our family, I am afraid that we will be crowned as a chaotic party." ”

Qin Huaiyuan didn't seem surprised at all when he heard that Qin Yining said that she had also arranged for someone. He just nodded silently.

"Father, today's event must have been arranged by the Cao family in advance, I see that the Cao family's status among the silver-faced people is not low, she deliberately took me out, and pretended to be arrested, obviously to test me, and at the same time encircle and suppress the Qingtian Alliance."

"Exactly." Qin Huaiyuan nodded, "Although the emperor is afraid of foreign enemies, he has been in that position for more than thirty years. How can the people who have been able to win the battle for the throne not have enough brains? On that day, you made a plan through your mother's business, and since it failed, there must be a series of plans to follow. ”

Qin Yining nodded, and couldn't help but feel scared for a while.

If she agrees to the request of the Duchess of Dingguo to kill Cao Yuqing today, I am afraid that not only will her life be difficult to protect at this time, but I am afraid that the sky of the Qin family will change.

The silk lamp was bright, shining on Qin Yining's ugly complexion, seeing that her forehead and sideburns were sweating, how could Qin Huaiyuan not understand her thoughts? encountered such a life-and-death thing, and when he didn't know the truth, he was naturally not afraid, but now that the truth of everything was in front of him, he suddenly found that he was so close to death, Mo said that it was a little girl, but he thought about it carefully, and he felt afraid.

"It's hard for you. To be involved in these things. Qin Huaiyuan sighed and touched Qin Yining's head.

Qin Yining smiled bitterly: "Father, don't say that, it's still that sentence, since I enjoy the benefits of being the daughter of the Qin family, then I will bear the corresponding pressure and responsibility." I just think I'm really lucky that I didn't choose the wrong path and bring my family with me. ”

Qin Huaiyuan felt the same way, so he nodded.

Qin Yining asked again: "Father, you already know Aunt Cao's identity?" ”

"Yes." Qin Huaiyuan hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell Qin Yining everything: "The most powerful force in the hands of the emperor is the silver-faced spies, these people specialize in assassination, listening, investigation and protection, and the Cao family is secretly the leader of the silver-faced spies. After the peace talks, the national difficulties could be solved, and the domestic court disputes became apparent. The emperor was afraid of the Cao family's entrenched power in the court, and he also wanted to put a hole card in my hand to balance the Cao family, so he let me accept the Cao family. ”

Qin Yining was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Doesn't Cao Guozhang know the identity of Aunt Cao?" ”

Qin Huaiyuan shook his head, "This is the brilliance of the silver-faced spies, everyone in the silver-faced spies is lurking in the shadows, with unexpected identities, and they are absolutely loyal to the imperial power, and they are also absolutely secretive to the outside world, Cao Guozhang doesn't know about the Cao family at all, and only thinks she is an ordinary woman, and as far as I know, the last marriage of the Cao family was also because of the order to assassinate her late husband and steal information, so there was that marriage." ”

When Qin Yining heard this, he remembered everything he saw today, such a beautiful woman, such a powerful martial arts, but she became a tool at the mercy of others, and even the marriage event could not help herself, it was a task, the last time she got married was a task, and becoming a widow was the result of a task, and now she has become Qin Huaiyuan's concubine, and it is also a task......

"She's a poor person, too." Qin Yining couldn't help but sigh faintly.

Qin Huaiyuan only smiled and did not speak.

Qin Yining sighed, stood up and said, "Father, I won't tell my mother about today's events, if my mother asks about my grandmother, I will say that they are fine." Later, when I found a chance to tell my mother, I said that my grandmother didn't want to live in Xianguguan, so she went to find a place to live on her own. As for my injuries, if anyone asked, I would say that I had fallen carelessly. ”

"You're very thoughtful." Qin Huaiyuan said approvingly: "Treat the Cao family, you remember not to change your attitude." The Cao family is in our house to cooperate with me to do some things, and at the same time, it is not excluded that the emperor wants to arrange for her to spy on me, in short, these things will be handled by my father, you just need to be yourself. ”

Qin Yining understood what Qin Huaiyuan meant when he heard this, and nodded with a smile.

Qin Yining called rock candy in, changed clothes in the clean room, and after re-bandaging, covered the wound on his neck, and then went back to Xingning Garden to ask Sun for peace first.

Sun took Qin Yining's hand and carefully asked about the situation of the ladies of the Dingguo family, Qin Yining only smiled and said that everything was fine to deal with, and the Sun family smiled before returning to Shuorenzhai to rest.

At this point, more than a month has passed, and it is already the warm spring season in Kyoto, and the new batch of spring shirts have been delivered to each room.

Qin Yining was served by Songlan to try on new clothes, and casually asked the rock candy behind him: "What did you say just now?" What did the old lady say? ”
