The husband and wife were wondering there, so Mrs. Wei cleared her throat and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

Qi Maosheng glanced at Gu Xiyan and said, "Although Mi Ji is said to be an official of the court, but the imperial concubine's last life..."

Mrs. Wei interrupted Qi Maosheng's words with a frown: "I'm asking about the child!" ”

Qi Maosheng and Gu Xiyan were shocked.

"You've been married for almost three years..."

This time, Qi Maosheng interrupted Mrs. Wei's words.

He frowned slightly, and said, "It's only three years until tomorrow February..."

Mrs. Wei snorted softly and said, "Okay, just according to what you say... What are you going to do? ”

Qi Maosheng stretched out his hand behind his back and held Gu Xiyan's hand tightly.

"When the war eases, I will personally go to Shengjing's Qixia Temple... If there's still no movement, you'll be left to the table. ”

When Mrs. Wei heard this, her brows tightened.

Maosheng, when did you talk so well...

But looking at his calm and even somewhat clear eyes, Mrs. Wei had to put those doubts in her heart.

The two came out of Huaiyuan and entered the second gate of the pear garden, Gu Xiyan couldn't help but hug Qi Maosheng: "Maosheng, you can't go to Shengjing... It's too dangerous..."

Qi Maosheng kissed Gu Xiyan's cheek: "Silly girl, I'm not going now... When the fighting eases, it's never too late to go..."

Gu Xiyan looked at Qi Maosheng with understanding, Qi Maosheng pursed his lips and smiled at her.

Qi Maosheng sent Gu Xiyan back to the pear orchard.

"You get a good night's sleep. I still have something to discuss with Mr. Ding, so don't wait for me. ”

Gu Xiyan pulled Qi Maosheng's sleeve: "Maosheng, what is the reward for killing Mi Ji?" ”

Qi Maosheng hesitated for a moment. Said: "It's "Gun Making Diagram". ”

A trace of worry flashed between Gu Xiyan's eyebrows: "Can you be sure, is it true?" ”

Qi Maosheng nodded: "It's true!" We have identified the seal on the map, and it is indeed hidden in the inner courtyard of Xizhao! ”

It's hard to really make this kind of thing, and if it leaks out, it's a crime...

Gu Xiyan's face flashed with gloom, and Qi Maosheng didn't wait for her to speak. Said: "Xiyan." Don't worry... I know it. ”

In terms of politics, Qi Maosheng is many times stronger than her, this kind of thing. Let's listen to Maosheng...

Thinking of this, although Gu Xiyan was relieved a lot, she still couldn't help but say, "Maosheng, the key, just give it to Aunt Cui." Those things. In our hands, it's just a piece of paper. But for them, maybe it's more precious than their lives... Make the best use of it, just give it to her! What's more, she was also entrusted by her sister to guide Panxi's studies... Although I am not at ease, I can't find any suitable people at the moment..."

Qi Maosheng replied unexpectedly: "Otherwise, I will send two Shura Sect grandmothers over, which can take care of Panxi and prevent Cui Baoyi..."

I'm afraid I've already made arrangements!

Gu Xiyan stared at Qi Maosheng. That's when I found out. Maosheng, it's a lot less than a few days ago... For their own reasons. He also a lot of heart!

Gu Xiyan's heart was soft, and there was a warm warmth between his eyebrows, and he couldn't say anything!

Qi Maosheng kissed Gu Xiyan's cheek: "You're tired today, go to sleep!" ”

Gu Xiyan lay down meekly, and Qi Maosheng called Duan Niang to come to watch the night in person, and then got up.

When Qi Maosheng left, Gu Xiyan pouted and asked Duan Niang: "The key is obviously in your hands, why are you hiding it from me?" ”

When Duan Niang heard this, her eyes turned red: "Silly girl, who is like you, you don't have any heart... The big girl is in such a hurry, it must be something important... If I hadn't left the key that day, I would have been able to change things smoothly today... You don't have a mother's family, and now... I don't plan for you, why should I straighten my waist in front of my lord in the future..."

It was because she didn't have children, so Duanniang was afraid that Qi Maosheng would dislike her, so she didn't hesitate to take the key out, wanting to help her earn some status in Qi Maosheng's mind!

Gu Xiyan burst into tears and muttered, "Aunt Duan." ”

Duan Niang covered her mouth and cried suppressedly: "My poor big girl... finally entered the palace and became the imperial concubine, but ended up like this... I'm going underground and I'm going to see the old lady, but how can I tell her..."

Looking at Duanniang with rippling tears, Gu Xiyan's tears couldn't help but flow, she sighed, touched the handkerchief from under the pillow and handed it to Duanniang...

Duan Niang easily collected her tears, Gu Xiyan asked Zhen Niang about her situation, knowing that she would occasionally cough up blood, and muttered: "In front of everyone, I said that I suspected Zhen Niang had tuberculosis... Hongluan hugged it and took a look, don't let it get close, be careful of infection... After the fifteenth is over, send it to the outside of the mansion to recuperate, and then send someone to talk to the Wang family..."

Duan Niang nodded.

Seeing her disapproving, Gu Xiyan sighed and instructed, "It's about to be the New Year... Don't say anything unpleasant, it will damage your reputation... You have to take this matter to heart. ”

Duan Niang straightened her face and nodded.

When Qi Maosheng arrived at Qinyuan, Mr. Ding and Qi Xiao were amazed at the unfolding picture scroll.

When the two saw Qi Maosheng come in, they both bowed to him.

"How?" Qi Maosheng sat on the kang and asked Mr. Ding with a smile.

Mr. Ding's eyes showed unconcealed excitement: "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that this "Gun Making Drawing" would fall into our hands one day!" ”

Qi Maosheng nodded, his eyes as bright as the sun.

Only Qi Xiao muttered, "But we can't understand it!" ”

"Without this picture, we are blind people touching elephants, and we have this picture. At least there is hope! Qi Maosheng's expression was full of determination to win, "Qi Xiao, you will go to Gaochang tomorrow, no matter what method you use, find me a group of skilled craftsmen, and after the New Year, we will start to trial produce this firecracker; As for Cui Baoyi. Mr. Ding is in charge of it personally... Erping has already arranged for someone to follow. Although they are all scouts, they are not as good as the people in the rivers and lakes, and they really have to meet. I'm afraid I won't be able to make a few moves under her..."

As he was talking, he heard a loud announcement from a small servant in the distance outside: "Master, the people from Huaiyuan are here." ”

Qi Maosheng replied, "Come in." ”

After a while, Bao Niang, who was wearing a round bun and a crow-blue samurai costume, appeared in front of everyone with a shrewd and neat look. She clasped her fists and saluted Qi Maosheng like a man.

Qi Maosheng nodded. Pointing at Mr. Ding, he said, "You take the people of the Shura Gate, listen to Mr. Ding's command, no matter what, bring back the things in Cui Baoyi's hand... Arrange for two more people to go to the Gu family, who must not only be strong in martial arts, but also proficient in world affairs. Tell them clearly, and in the future, I will be on an errand in the Gu family..."

Bao Niang lowered her head and answered.

Qi Maosheng was talking, and there was a loud voice from the little guy outside: "Master." Erping is here! ”

Qi Maosheng casually responded, "Come in." He continued: "Unless it is Cui Baoyi who opens the stainless steel box in the cellar of the Gu Mansion. No matter what happens, don't care, the safety of the two masters of the Gu family is the main thing..."

Bao Niang's eyes were surprised, the corners of her mouth were slightly twitched, she wanted to speak and stopped, and finally responded in a low voice, "Yes." ”

As soon as the two finished speaking, Erping walked in in a hurry.

In the middle of winter, he saluted Qi Maosheng with a solemn expression, and stood there silently.

Bao Niang knew that what they were going to talk about was a major military aircraft matter, and she was not suitable to listen to it, so she hurriedly hugged her fists to Qi Maosheng and said, "Master, if there are no other orders, then I will go down and prepare." ”

"There you go!" Qi Maosheng raised his chin lightly to Bao Niang.

Bao Niang clasped her fists and saluted Qi Maosheng again, and then walked away.

When Bao Niang's figure disappeared at the second gate of Qinyuan, Erping said: "Master, I went to ask." It is said that the whole city of the capital has been under martial law in the past few days, especially the Forbidden City, and all the people who used to be on errands have been adjusted, and our people have not received any news. ”

Martial law, all the defense?

Qi Maosheng, Mr. Ding, and Qi Xiao exchanged glances with each other, and everyone saw the solemnity in each other's gazes.

Qi Maosheng's eyes were sharp, "Leave the palace alone, let them pay close attention to the transfer of officials from the Shengjing Ministry of Officials..."

Erping replied respectfully, "Yes." ”

"You've worked hard too, go down and rest!"

Erping left in response.

Qi Maosheng's face was solemn, and he said: "Mr. Ding, please write an excerpt, just say, the weather in Liangdi is bad, Wujun City cannot be attacked for a long time, my Yandi soldiers have suffered heavy casualties, and there is a shortage of grain and grass, please send eight hundred loads of grain to Liangdi urgently... Try the court's reaction..."

Qi Maosheng stayed in the pear orchard until noon, and when he returned to the pear orchard, he found that Gu Xiyan actually led Hongluan and Gardenia to sit on the kang near the window to play rope, and Mama Lei and Duan Niang were serving on the side.

Seeing Qi Maosheng enter the house, the two saluted towards the bent knees, Gu Xiyan raised his head and asked with a smile, "I'm back", and then lowered his head and said softly to Hongluan: "Let's play again later, Daddy is back, you can say hello to Daddy!" ”

Hongluan looked at Qi Maosheng, and then at the red rope in Gu Xiyan's hand, and then shrunk and leaned against Gardenia's side.

Qi Mao frowned.

Gu Xiyan looked at it, and hurriedly put off the kang and gave Qi Maosheng a wide coat: "I ordered to set the meal!" ”

Qi Maosheng nodded, took off his robe, and Xingyu came in to wash Qi Maosheng's face.

Taking advantage of Qi Maosheng's time to go to the side of the room, Gu Xiyan smiled quietly and said to Hongluan: "When Daddy comes out, you have to remember to salute Daddy, and then we will beg Daddy to let him agree that we will go to see Zhenniang in the afternoon, okay!" ”

This morning, Gu Xiyan and Duan Niang went to Wanqingxuan and told everyone about Zhenniang's illness, everyone was a little surprised, but no one asked anything, only Hongluan, crying loudly.

Gu Xiyan asked Mama Lei to hug Hongluan and go to see Zhenniang.

Zhen Niang was lying alone in a secluded room in Wanqingxuan, and when she saw Hongluan coming in, her expression was a little complicated.

Gu Xiyan turned a blind eye, smiled faintly, and said, "You have tuberculosis, and it is not easy to arrange many people to serve you." Bring Hongluan to see you today, so that you don't remember it. After speaking, he went out with Hongluan in his arms: "Look, Zhenniang is sick, we can't quarrel with her." After a few days, she will be fine, and Hongluan will be able to be with Zhenniang again. ”

Hongluan cried loudly and kicked Gu Xiyan with his feet: "I want Zhenniang, I want Zhenniang..."
