After dinner, Qin Liumo took Qin Liusu to the hall where Qin Zhengyang's body was placed.

"Big brother, why did you ask me to come to my father's place in the middle of the night?" Qin Liusu asked puzzled, but when he turned his head to look, he saw that Chu Jiechen was also beside him, so he said coldly to Chu Jiechen, "What are you doing here?" We Qin family don't welcome you. ”

When Qin Liumo saw Qin Liusu like this, he had to play a round and say, "Okay, okay!" How can you say that Jiechen is also a student of his father! It's not impossible for him to come and pay tribute to his father! ”

"Such filial piety! I don't know if he will cry and faint on the day of his father's funeral! Qin Liusu said angrily.

"Little sister, don't talk to Jiechen, I'm looking for you, but there's something to do." Qin Liumo shouted at Qin Liusu.

Qin Liusu glanced at Qin Liumo and continued: "Big brother, why did you call us over so late?" ”

Qin Liumo looked at Qin Liusu and said, "I have a feeling that my father hasn't died yet!"

"What? Father didn't die? Qin Liusu was very surprised when she heard Qin Liusu's words and said, "But Ruoyu told me that she saw her father being swallowed by the sea of fire with her own eyes!" ”

"That's why I tell you it's just feeling!" Qin Liumo spread his hands helplessly and said, "So that's why I called you all over, because I want to perform an autopsy." ”

As soon as Qin Liumo's words came out, Qin Liusu felt that the sky was dark, "Big brother, if this is really my father's body, then it's a big rebellion for us to do this!" ”

•••••••••

In Chaoyang Palace, Qingming lay on the bed, looking at the moonlight outside the window, just like the moonlight more than 20 years ago. Qingming's memories were ripped out little by little.

At that time, I had just passed the age of Ji, and I was still a girl's innocent appearance.

That year was also the night of this season, and Qing Ming, who was walking alone on the streets of Chen Guo, was walking with a bored head, but suddenly bumped into a person head-on.

Qin Ming rubbed his aching shoulder, looked up, and saw a drunken teenager looking down at her.

The young man's facial features were very handsome, his face was delicate, his contours were clear, his lips were red and his teeth were white, his skin was healthy wheat, and he could see from his body shape that he had practiced martial arts all year round and was very strong.

The handsome young man in front of him made Qingming can't help but look at it twice.

"You're blind! Why are you hitting me? The drunken boy scolded.

Qing Ming was frightened by the young man's sudden scolding, and she couldn't hold back her tears. The young man saw that Qingming was scolded and cried by himself, and he panicked, after all, he was unreasonable.

"Don't cry, okay?" The boy pleaded.

Qing Ming didn't care about his words, he was still crying, and his voice was getting louder and louder.

The young man panicked even more and said, "Don't cry! I'll give you a drink! As he spoke, he handed the flask in his hand to Qing Ming.

Qingming has been taught strictly since she was a child, and her parents never give girls alcohol. Qing Ming is very curious every time she sees adults drinking. So Qing Ming took the wine jug handed over by the young man and took a small sip carefully.

"Phew! Bah! The reaction of the tea with the wine on his lips was very intense, "Why is it so spicy?" ”

"Hahaha••••••" The young man standing on the side couldn't straighten up when he saw Qing Ming like this, "It's spicy, and I don't even know it's spicy." Could it be that your Chen Kingdom is too poor and has no extra grain to make wine? ”

"Aren't you from Chen Guoren?" Qing Ming asked when she heard the young man's words.

"I'm not from Chen Guo, I'm from Qi Guo!" The boy replied.

"I heard that Qi is far away from here, why are you here?" Qingming asked puzzled.

The young man turned his head when he heard Qing Ming's words, and was silent for a long time, and after a moment he turned his head, but Qing Ming saw that his eyes seemed to be red, and there were tears rolling in his eyes.

"I'm here to get married!" The boy replied, "But I want to get that person, and I don't like her." ”

"I thought it was a big deal!" Qingming said with a smile, "Men and women marry naturally to obey their parents' orders, and the words of the matchmaker are not a big deal." ”

"Humph!" The young man laughed and said, "My mother has died a long time ago!" My dad never took care of me. ”

"If you don't like it, don't take it!" Qingming said.

"You're light!" The boy chuckled again and said, "You won't understand it if I told you." ”

"You said you didn't like the woman you were going to get, so did you like the woman?" Qing Ming blinked and asked, "Then do you know what it's like to like someone?" ”

The young man looked down at Qingming and said playfully, "I seem to like you?" How? My heart is beating so fast, that's what love feels like! ”

When Qing Ming heard the young man's words, she seemed to be frightened, and looked at the young man blankly, her heart beating as if it was about to explode.

The young man saw that Qing Ming was not stunned, so he became even bolder, reached out and hugged Qing Ming's slender waist, and slowly pressed his head down, about to kiss Qing Ming.

Qingming suddenly reacted and immediately pushed him away and sorted out the clothes that had been crumpled by the young man.

"Hahaha••••••" The boy could only use laughter to ease the awkward atmosphere.

The young man smiled as he took off a piece of exquisitely crafted jade pendant from his waist and said to Qing Ming: "You accept this jade pendant, if I can become famous one day, I will find you to get that jade pendant back." ”

Qing Ming lowered her weight and took the jade pendant, and when she looked up, the young man had already walked away.

"Hey! My name is Qing Ming! What's your name? Qing Ming shouted loudly towards the young man's distant back.

But the young man didn't seem to hear it, and didn't give Qingming any response.

Since then, Qing Ming has often walked to that street intentionally or unintentionally, expecting to meet the young man, and he didn't know at that time that if a man gave his jade pendant to a woman, it meant that the man was proposing to her, and the woman took the jade pendant to mean that she had agreed to the man.

But at that time, the little Qing Ming didn't know that there was such a tradition in the distant Qi country, but Qing Ming knew that this person was the person she was waiting for.

Qing Ming waited, waited, and never waited for the young man, but at that time, she waited for an edict, and it was Chen Wenhao, the prince of Great Qi, who summoned her to the palace at that time.

Qing Ming's family was selected by Chen Guo to train and deliver spies for Chen Guo, and everyone in the family was proficient in secret arts and martial arts, but although they were on standby, in case of an urgent call.

Chen Wenhao's task in summoning her into the palace was to disguise herself as a maid from the palace of Qi to lurk beside Empress Wenlang and secretly protect Empress Wenlan.

Soon after entering the palace, Qing Ming saw the young man in the palace. Dressed in a red robe, he was very luxurious and high-spirited, which made Qingming can't help but feel the difference in the identities of the two.

Although it has been more than twenty years among the queens, the man has never known where Qing Ming is. Qing Ming had been thinking about him all these years, although that person had always been by his side and not far away.

Qing Ming couldn't help but clench the jade pendant he gave in his hand, which was the only memory of Qing Ming and him. Tears kept flowing.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Qingming immediately wiped away her tears and asked, "Who?" ”

"Auntie, I'm Thrush."

Qing Ming tidied up her clothes and got up to open the door. "Come in! Shouldn't the thrush take care of Niangniang in the Qin Mansion so late? How did it come to Chaoyang Palace? ”

"It was Mademoiselle who asked me to come back." As she came in, the thrush said as she walked into the house, "Miss asked where my aunt went, and I told Miss that you were not feeling well and had been lying in the palace." So Miss asked me to give you a pair of medicines. ”

Thrush said as she handed Qing Ming a small medicine bottle.

Qingming took the medicine bottle, and when she looked closely, it turned out to be the Huishen Pill. Huishen Pill has a good effect on the treatment of external and internal injuries, so many people who walk the rivers and lakes and march to fight will buy some self-defense.

Qingming couldn't help but smile. Looks like my mother thinks I'm hurt? Qing Ming thought to herself.

"Thank you for me, I'm just feeling cold, it's already fine, I'm worried about it!" Qingming said, "Since I have returned it, I will take care of Niangniang tomorrow!" ”

"It's okay, I've been exhausted these past few days!" The thrush rubbed her sour neck and said, "Miss has been so sad because of the death of her master that she hasn't eaten for several days." ”

"What?" Old Master Qin passed away? Qing Ming asked in disbelief.

"That's right! The old man was burned to death by the Liao army. It's crazy outside, but my aunt doesn't know? ”

"Maybe I've been recuperating in my room for a few days, so I haven't heard anything else!" Qingming explained, "It's also difficult to be a mother, and my parents died when I was only eighteen years old. ”

"Who's to say it isn't!" Thrush said, "I've been distressed when I look at Miss these days, and I've been crying like a tearful person all day long. ”

"After the Third Highness learned the news today, the Third Highness immediately ran back." The thrush said while tidying up the covers: "Miss still had a quarrel with the Third Highness today!" Miss also ••••••"

"Okay, don't gossip about the two of you!" Qing Ming said to the thrush with a smile.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Thrush saw that Qingming's eyes were a little red, so she asked, "Are you crying?" ”

Qingming unconsciously wiped the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "It's nothing!" ”

"Oh! I know, my aunt must be homesick! The thrush said proudly as if she had seen through the heavens.

"Yes, yes, yes! Homesick! Qing Ming immediately catered to him.

"Where is my aunt's house? I'm so homesick too! The thrush said that his own eyes were red.

Qing Ming carefully observed the thrush's facial features and said, "Looking at your appearance, you should be from the north!" ”

"Eun! I'm from Northern County. When he was fifteen years old, his family suddenly suffered a catastrophe, so he fled for his life in the gate. The tears of the thrush kept falling.

"Okay, don't be homesick, Niangniang is so good to us, it's good for us to serve a good Niangniang." Qingming comforted, "It's not too late, I have to take care of my mother tomorrow morning!" Go to sleep! ”

"Okay, listen to my aunt, sleep."

Qin Liumo took all the tools for the autopsy and prepared to perform the autopsy.

"Big brother, have you thought about it? You may be a big rebel if you go down with this knife! Qin Liumo grabbed Qin Liumo's hand and said.

Qin Liumo didn't speak, and nodded at Qin Liusu and Chu Juechen.
