Let's say that Qin Lingyan was beaten that day, and the king of Donglai was also merciful, and measured his injury and inconvenience, so he allowed him to rest in the Luoshui Pavilion of Wan'an Palace for a while, and then return to Wanzhou Palace after recovering from his injuries.

Those palace people who held the staff were not very merciful, although Qin Lingyan boasted that he had rough skin and thick meat, he couldn't get out of bed for a few days.

Qin Lingyan felt a burst of resentment when he thought about the events of that day, and he couldn't find out what he was wrong with after thinking about it, and the only answer was that the king was moody, and he accompanied the king like a tiger.

"Oops, you tap!" He screamed in pain.

The palace people who rubbed the medicine for him were a little frightened when they heard him say this, and hurriedly stopped and apologized.

Qin Lingyan snorted, lay on the bed sullenly, glanced at him, and said no more. I thought in my heart, it was still the intimacy of the people in my palace. However, what made him even more indignant at this time was what King Donglai said about the princess and relatives. "Hey, A-Yao." He let out a long sigh.

After he was angry and went to get thirty boards, Jiang An was the only one left in Yongfu Palace, and I don't know if he could persuade King Donglai to dispel this idea.

Qin Lingyan was in a hurry, so he called his henchman Sha Su to go to Jiang'an's Qingxin Hall to investigate, and the dexterous young man smiled slightly and left in a hurry.

He lay on the bed with his eyes closed, listening to the sound of soft footsteps in front of the door.

He was annoyed in his heart, and when he heard someone come to disturb him, his heart was on fire for a while, and he shouted, "Who is so bold as to trespass without informing.....

Suddenly, he heard the girl Lingling laughing lightly, he suddenly opened his eyes, and saw Qin Shuyao hiding his face and smiling beside the bed, and pouted, "I haven't seen you for a few days, but my cousin is even fierce to me!" ”

He was suddenly a little embarrassed, and hurriedly tightened the quilt to cover his body, and his movements were abrupt, so that the palace man who rubbed the medicine knocked over the medicine box. The palace people exclaimed, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "My lord, spare my life!" ”

"Go down, go down!" He waved his hand impatiently at the palace man and supported him to leave. He trembled and picked up the scattered pill boxes before leaving.

"My cousin is really out of sight!" The girl pointed at him and said with a smile, "Now that I have entered your Falling Water Pavilion, I must also report it." ”

He turned over in the quilt and wanted to support himself, but was held down by Qin Shuyao.

He pushed her hand away, still sitting up, embarrassed, "What did the princess say?" ”

The girl burst out laughing, glared at him, and said angrily, "You can't see it, Wanzhou City Lord!" ”

At that glance, Qin Lingyan only felt that his whole person was floating, and he was stunned for a while, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Cousin!" She nudged him gently, her eyes full of concern, "That...... Does it hurt? ”

was pushed by her like this, he came back to his senses, and shook his head again and again, "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, my cousin's skin is rough and thick, it's like tickling!" ”

When she heard him say this, she stomped her foot and said angrily, "It's not serious! ”

Qin Lingyan saw her complaining, but just hung her head and smirked. Somehow, since he was growing up, he often giggled when he saw this cousin for no reason.

She lowered her head and gently instructed, "Don't make your father angry in the future, cousin." ”

She glanced at Zihan behind her, she obediently took out a delicate medicine bottle from her sleeve, put it on the side of the desk, and laughed repeatedly, "The princess smelled that the city lord was injured, so she specially sent the ointment, and hoped that the city lord would recover as soon as possible." ”

"My cousin bothered."

Qin Shuyao sat down, looked at Qin Lingyan, and muttered, "Why did you provoke your father?" ”

Qin Lingyan remembered that she didn't know about the marriage proposal of the Moon Sakura King, and she was afraid that it would be troublesome to say it at this time, so she casually found an excuse to disrespect the king and prevaricate in the past. When Shu Yao heard him say this, she couldn't help but complain that he was impatient and didn't speak lightly. He listened with a smile all the time, and he only felt like a spring breeze in his heart, drunk, but he didn't actually listen to much.

I heard her ask cautiously, "That'...... Brother Wang is well? ”

He stroked his palms and laughed, "Jiang An's kid thinks deeply about everything, knows how to protect himself best, and is careful every step in front of the king, what can happen?" ”

Shu Yao groaned, "I think it's the same. ”

She poked him in the head, "That cousin hasn't learned yet!" If you do this again, you will be caught and killed one day! ”

Qin Lingyan snorted disdainfully and tucked the corners of the quilt, "You don't have to scare me." ”

"Hmph." Qin Shuyao snorted angrily, "You take care of your injuries, I won't bother you, in a few days, I will come to see you again when you are injured." ”

She explained the efficacy of the medicine she brought in detail before leaving with peace of mind.

Qin Lingyan looked at her slender back in the distance, and smiled at the corner of her mouth, "Hey, this girl ......"

Not long after she left, Sha Su came back from the Qingxin Palace and passed on the words of Prince Jiang An, informing him of what happened in Yongfu Palace that day and that the princess was all right, and he took a long breath and put his mind at ease.

The capital of the Donglai Dynasty, Wanzhou City, Wan'an Palace, Qingxin Palace.

Donglai prince Jiang An practiced swordsmanship in the backyard, his swordsmanship was taken from the Jiang clan's chasing wind swordsmanship learned in the Dust Night Valley before the age of thirteen, after coming to Wan'an Palace, he learned the strengths of Donglai's masters, and Jiang An himself was very hardworking, but twenty years old, swordsmanship and martial arts are also remarkable.

On that day, Jiang An was practicing his sword and was energetic, and suddenly heard some movement behind the rockery in the courtyard, remembering that in recent days, he always felt that someone was secretly watching, and his brows furrowed slightly, so he stopped and asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?" ”

Two snow kites flew out from behind the rockery, Jiang An was startled, and then chuckled at the corner of his mouth, knowing who it was, and called softly, "Why is Sister Wang hiding behind the rockery?" He turned his head and glared at Luo Shan behind him, and said, "Since the princess is here, why don't you report it early?" ”

Luo Shan looked at him with wide eyes, looking innocent.

Qin Shuyao came out from behind the rockery alone, the two snow kites landed obediently and stopped on her shoulders, she took a step forward and said hurriedly, "Brother Wang, don't blame Luoshan, I didn't let him report it." ”

Luo Shan looked at Jiang An with a smile, took the sword in his hand, and then glanced ambiguously and retreated.

Jiang An saw his eyes, remembered some of the words of King Donglai that day, and felt a little embarrassed, thinking, I don't know if Shu Yao saw it.

Qin Shuyao smiled lightly and bowed, "Brother Wang is fine." ”

Jiang An raised her hand to get her up and asked, "Why did Sister Wang come to the Qingxin Hall early in the morning?" ”

The woman in front of her smiled, "Without him, I just saw my father call Brother Wang yesterday, and I came to ask, does Donglai have any important things recently?" ”

Jiang An raised his hand, and one of the snow kites flew obediently, stopped on his arm, and combed his feathers, "Sister Wang's snow kite is becoming more and more clever." ”

Shu Yao's face flushed, and said, "Brother Wang, don't tease me anymore, I came over early in the morning today, thinking that Brother Wang might not get up, I was worried, and when I arrived, I found that Brother Wang practiced swords, and I was afraid of disturbing my interest, so I watched from the sidelines, but I didn't want to be discovered." ”

Jiang An made a gesture and walked to the inner room with Shu Yao, shaking his head along the way, "If you want to say it's an important matter, then forget it!" That Qi Ning country has violated the border again, which is really a headache. ”

Hearing this, Qin Shuyao suddenly walked in front of Jiang An, revealing a bright smile like a little girl, "That General Wei Ling is busy!" In this war, with General Wei Ling, he will definitely not be afraid of Qi Ning! ”

Jiang An patted her head and said dotingly, "General Wei is old, and my father ordered me to go on the expedition for him this time." ”

"What?" Hearing this, Shu Yao's face suddenly turned dead gray, she looked at Jiang An, her voice trembled a little, "This...... How can it be? ”

"Oh?" Jiang An was surprised, "Then Sister Wang said that why can't you do it?" ”

Qin Shuyao was speechless for a while, turned around, stomped her foot, and said angrily, "I don't care, I'm going to my father, but I can't!" ”

Jiang An looked at the little girl who turned around in front of him, turned her body, and said with a smile, "Sister Wang is messing around, such a big thing, my father has already thought about it." ”

Shu Yao's heart seemed to be pinched tightly at this time, she tightly twisted the silk handkerchief in her hand, and suddenly turned around and hugged Jiang An, Jiang An was shocked when she saw her like this, but it was not easy to push away, so she had to let her hold it like this, although the two of them grew up since childhood, and it was not once or twice that they were held by Xiao Wang Mei like this, but at this moment, Jiang An's heart felt a little awkward. After a long time, he patted her on the back and said softly, "It's just an expedition, and I will be back soon, Sister Wang don't have to worry." ”

She raised her head, her eyes filled with tears, and she shouted at Jiang An, "It's so dangerous to fight, Brother Wang......"

"So, Sister Wang thinks I'll be defeated?" Jiang An reached out and pinched her face and quipped. Shu Yao blushed and argued, "No, Brother Wang is invincible!" ”

"In that case, there's nothing to be sad about?"

Hearing him say this, Shu Yao didn't know what to say at this time, so she let him go, just lowered her head and twisted her handkerchief, and muttered, "Father is really ...... This kind of small thing, you don't need the prince to go on the expedition! ”

Her mouth moved, and she wanted to say something, but she heard a woman's cry coming from the door of the Pure Heart Temple.

The woman's small footsteps stepped on the ground of the blue and white stone, and there was a crisp sound, and when she saw the two people standing in the courtyard, she knelt down suddenly, covered her face and cried bitterly, and grabbed Qin Shuyao's clothes, her voice was hoarse, "Princess....."

Jiang An recognized that it was Shu Yao's personal maid, and frowned, "Jinque, get up and speak." ”

Shu Yao was stunned at this time, and she didn't know what was going on, so she hurriedly bent down to help the sparrow up, but the sparrow kept kneeling on the ground, no matter how she pulled, she just couldn't get up.

Seeing this, Jiang An had no choice but to squat down and ask the woman who was crying bitterly in front of him, "You say, what is so sad?" ”

The sparrow cried like a tearful person, and her voice was intermittent, "Back to the prince's words, today, today..... Zihan went to ......"

As soon as these words came out, Qin Shuyao's face turned white, and he suddenly breathed a depression in his heart, his breath was disordered, he covered his face with a handkerchief, and he actually spit out a mouthful of blood. Jiang An hurriedly supported Qin Shuyao, who was about to fall down, and angrily slammed the sparrow, "Sparrow, don't say it." ”

Jiang An held Qin Shuyao's hand, only to feel that her hands and feet were cold, and shouted into the inner room, "Banxia, pass on the imperial doctor!" ”

Qin Shuyao's eyes were hazy with tears, but she insisted on asking, "Jinque, what did you say, say it again!" ”

Jinque was frightened by her, looked up and saw Jiang An's expression, and didn't dare to say another word.

"You say...... Zihan is dead? She muttered, "Zihan is dead?" ”

With tears in her eyes, she glanced at Jiang An timidly again, and sobbed, "Hmm." This morning, when I went to Zihan's room, I saw her lying there, not breathing. ”

When Qin Shuyao heard this, her blood suddenly surged, her face turned pale, she couldn't support it for a while, and fainted in Jiang An's arms.

Jiang An was shocked, hurriedly picked her up, and rushed to the back room.

The princess fainted in the Qingxin Palace, and after Jiang An hurriedly invited the imperial doctor, he sent someone to inform the king of Donglai about the matter.

When the king of Donglai heard this, he was very worried, and hurried to the Qingxin Palace.

When I came to the bed, I saw my daughter in a coma on the bed, her face was pale, and the imperial doctor on the side was busy treating the princess.

He was anxious in his heart, his face was pale, and he hurriedly asked Jiang An, "Why is this?" ”

Jiang An frowned, "Back to my father, there is a maid named Zihan next to Shu Yao, for some reason, I went today, and the princess was too sad ......"

"Zihan ....." Qin Lan groaned, as if she remembered something, the expression on her face was a little strange, she was silent for a long time, and looked at the pale daughter in front of her worriedly.

The imperial doctor pricked Shu Yao's eyebrows with a needle, only to see her cough a few times and open her eyes slightly.

"Father......" She saw King Donglai standing in front of her at a glance, and called softly.

Seeing that she was awake, Qin Lan hurriedly sat in front of the bed and helped her baby daughter up, she coughed softly in his arms, and her whole body was weak.

He turned his gaze to the imperial doctor, and the white-bearded imperial doctor arched his hand and said, "Don't worry, the princess is fine, but she is weak and slightly stimulated, and she will be fine after a few days of recuperation." ”

When King Donglai heard this, he took a long breath, put his mind at ease, turned his head to look at the daughter in his arms, and sighed, "You have frightened this king." ”

She seemed to remember something, and burst into tears, "Father! Zihan is dead, Zihan is dead! Zihan grew up with me since she was a child, and now she is dead! Her tears were like beads with broken threads, dripping down on Qin Lan's clothes.

Seeing this, Jiang An waved his hand to order the imperial doctor to go out, and he retreated silently.

Qin Lan saw her crying sadly, and felt a little guilty, so she hugged her in her arms and whispered, "It's my father who can't stand you......"

Shu Yao was surprised, raised her head and stared at him suspiciously.

"Hey, I never thought that Zihan was such a fierce girl," he said, "It's my father who can't stand you." ”

When Qin Shuyao heard him say this, she cried out loud, "Could it be that my father killed her?" ”

Qin Lan shook her head, "Last night, I saw her sneaking around in front of Yongfu Palace alone late at night, I caught her and interrogated her, and when I saw that she was young and didn't know what to think, I let her go back." He sighed, "I didn't expect this kid to be so fierce, .....!" ”

When Qin Shuyao heard him say this, tears poured down like heavy rain, and his whole body trembled.

King Donglai felt a pain in his heart, and said softly, "It's my father who can't stand you, can you blame me?" ”

She felt sad in her heart, but she still shook her head desperately, "It's all because I indulge her on weekdays, I'm used to being arrogant, and I can't stand a little human talk......" She buried her head in her knees and cried out loud.

King Donglai knew that she didn't blame herself for what she said, but she was still sad in her heart. Seeing her crying sadly, although she was distressed, she didn't know what to say at this time, so she had to comfort her softly, "Another day, my father will pick a few more clever girls for you?" ”

Suddenly, I heard the voice of a palace person outside the hall, "Great King." ”

Being disturbed at this juncture, King Donglai was very impatient in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter? ”

The people in the palace heard that the king's voice was full of displeasure, and their hearts were frightened, but the matter was urgent, so they had to report it head-on, "General Xuanwu has returned to the court, and now he is waiting in Yongfu Palace." ”

General Xuanwu? Qin Lan frowned, knowing that she was here for the frontier matter, looking at the daughter in her arms, she wanted to accompany her for a while, and was about to refuse, but she saw Shu Yao's tears in her eyes, and she said softly, "The matter of the father's kingdom is important, and the daughter will take care of her body and not let her father worry." ”

King Donglai also knew that because of Zihan's matter, no matter what, Qin Shuyao had a grudge against him, so he must have been reluctant to say more at this time, so he had to sigh, called Jiang An and others in, and told him to leave.

Jiang An came in and knew that the girl named Zihan had served Shu Yao since she was a child, and the two were like sisters, but now it was gone in a blink of an eye, and Shu Yao was naturally depressed in her heart. He knew that he was not very comforting, and if he stayed, it would only make things worse, so he had to call Banxia to accompany the princess.

It's really impermanent, a few days ago, I saw Zihan's girl jumping around, but now it's only been a few days, and she can't think of swallowing gold and committing suicide for a trivial matter. He sighed, and only blamed that girl for her poor life, not a person in the world!
