The words had already been spoken, but under the emperor's gaze, they were all blocked in Qin Jiang's throat, and he couldn't say it at all.

"Miss Qin's virtue is at a loss, if Zhen'er is allowed to swallow this breath, my royal family will not be able to swallow this breath." The Emperor spoke slowly.

Listening to this, it seemed that he wanted to deal with Qin Jingxi's intentions.

After all, it was his daughter who had loved him for many years, and Qin Jiang finally mustered up the courage to plead, "Your Majesty, Jingxi was also killed, and she has no second heart for His Royal Highness!"

The Emperor waved his hand impatiently: "So what?"

Qin Jiang's pale lips opened.

"After this incident, presumably Miss Qin was also frightened, and I will send the imperial doctor to the Hou Mansion to diagnose Miss Qin's pulse, presumably, it will be fine for three years and five years."

The emperor's words fell lightly, and Qin Jiang's whole person was stupid.

His eyes widened until they turned red, and he didn't react.

It was the voice of the chief eunuch who called back his thoughts.

"Your Majesty is so magnanimous, and at this time, you are still thinking about Miss Qin's illness, isn't the Marquis of Yongchang grateful?"

Qin Jiang raised his hands above his head, and bent down on the ground again: "Emperor Xie, long live the emperor, long live long live."

Leaving the palace, the cold wind in the night instantly made Qin Jiang wrap his clothes tightly.

Jingxi has been his pride since he was a child.

She is intelligent, knowledgeable, almost never disgraces him, and is the pearl of his palm.

But now, because of the madman of the Ouyang family, he has an unwarranted illness, and he can't go out, let alone get married.

Presumably from tomorrow, he will be able to hear the news that his daughter is weak and sick, so she has no fate with His Royal Highness and has to cancel her marriage contract.

The emperor is for it, naturally it can't be her daughter's reputation.

I just don't want to damage the royal reputation.

The Yongchang Hou Mansion was lit up all night, and it was not until Qin Jiang returned from the palace that the tense atmosphere in the entire Hou Mansion finally eased.

"Master Hou! The Holy One is ...... Severely punished the bastard of the Ouyang family and the little *** of Qin Chaojiu?"

As soon as Qin Jiang came back, Bai Wan couldn't wait to rush over.

Qin Guanjin and his wife Cui Shi were already waiting aside, and on the other side of Qin Guanjin were the brothers Qin Guanming and Qin Guanrui.

When they saw their father come back, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Father, the Holy Lord didn't pursue Qin Chaojiu because he was afraid of King Beimu?" Qin Guanjin took a step forward and asked.

Qin Jiang raised his eyes and glanced in his direction, blew his beard and snorted, "In vain, you have served in the court for many years, and you can ask such a stupid thing!"

Qin Guanjin frowned, and was about to argue and ask, but was stopped by Cui Shi on the side.

Cui Shi shook his head at Qin Guanjin.

After Qin Jiang sat down, he drank three cups of tea before slowly saying the emperor's order in the palace.

When everyone in the Hou Mansion heard this, they all showed disbelief.

"How so? Ouyang Jin's brute was actually spared?! Such a beast should be divided by five horses, how can he be spared so easily?!"

"Why didn't the Holy Lord hold Qin Chaojiu responsible, didn't you tell the Holy Lord that all this was a bureau set up by the Qin Dynasty for a long time? Even if he has the support of King Beimu, the Holy Lord will not let His Royal Highness be humiliated."

Bai Wan shook her head: "Master Hou, what do you mean by this, our Jingxi is obviously fine, why do we need to be too doctor to diagnose the pulse?" Why do you have to recuperate? Emperor...... Is it possible for the emperor to let us stay in the Hou Mansion for the rest of our lives and be old girls?"

"No, it can't be like this, what the emperor is talking about now is to cultivate for three or five years, we Jingxi are already seventeen years old, if we wait another three or five years, who else can want her? The second prince doesn't want her, and others don't want her, so what should I do with my Jingxi?"

The more Bai Wan said the more panicked she became, she suddenly stood up, pulled Qin Jiang's sleeve and said, "Master Hou, you go and beg the emperor, we Jingxi obviously didn't do anything wrong!" Qin Guanjin, you go, you go with your father, both of you are emperors

The people in front of you, the emperor will definitely change his mind when he sees the face of your father and son!"

"That's enough!"

Qin Jiang snorted violently, and as soon as he shook his arm, Bai Wan almost fell on her feet.

Bai Wan has always been favored in the Hou Mansion, whether it is Qin Jiang or her three sons, they all treat her with respect.

Qin Jiang hadn't been so harsh with her for many years.

She was stunned for a moment, then raised her voice sharply: "What are you murderous? Is it because Jingxi is not your biological daughter, and you are now partial to this field?"

Qin Jiang was even more angry, he pointed at Bai Wan's nose and roared, "You are simply unreasonable, do you think that the Second Highness still has affection for Jingxi? If he has affection for Jingxi, how can he stab such a scandalous thing into the saint?"

Bai Wan was stunned by the questioning.

Qin Jiang continued to ask, "Do you think I want Jingxi to pretend to be sick? But if you don't pretend to be sick now, is there any other way?"

Bai Wan subconsciously opened her mouth and said, "Since His Royal Highness doesn't want this marriage, and Jingxi has lost her innocence, it is better to find a clear stream to marry than to be an old girl."

Qin Jiang was about to laugh angrily at Bai Wan's words: "Can you use your brain, Jingxi once had a marriage contract with His Second Highness, do you think that with this, that Qingliu family dares to marry her?"

Bai Wan was stunned.

It was only then that I realized the seriousness of this matter.

The air fell silent at this moment, and Qin Jiang angrily left the front hall and went directly to the study.

Bai Wan was helped back to the chair by Cui Shi in despair, and she hurriedly said to everyone: "Jingxi just fell asleep, don't tell her about this yet, I'm afraid she won't be able to stand this stimulation."

The crowd nodded in silence.

Bai Wan looked outside, and suddenly got up and said, "Let's go and say hello to the old lady."

Count the days, Ning Concubine Niangniang in the palace is these days, it's time to give birth.

If she is a mother, she will fight for her daughter.

If Concubine Ning can be allowed to come forward, for the sake of the little prince, maybe the saint can be merciful and pardon her poor Jingxi.

With such a thought in mind, Bai Wan went to the old lady's courtyard to say goodbye.

Qin Guanjin, who had just returned to Qingya's house, was already planning for Qin Jingxi, just like Bai Wan.

Even Qin Guanming and Qin Guanrui are no exception.

Although it has been more than half a year, Qin Guanming and Qin Guanrui have more or less opinions on Qin Jingxi, and they have been disappointed several times.

But after all, she is still the sister they have loved since childhood.

The two brothers did not speak or discuss, but left the Yongchang Marquis Mansion one after another.

In the end, at the gate of the Beimu Palace, they met.

Qin Guanming was slightly stunned, but soon understood: "Are you also here to find the prince?"

Since the last time the two brothers fought, the relationship seems to have been estranged a lot, but at this moment, standing side by side at the gate of Beimu Wangfu, the gap between the two slowly disappeared.

"I'm looking for Sister Asahyu." Qin Guanrui responded.

Soon, the butler of the palace, Chu De, personally led the two to the front hall.

"Second Prince Qin, Third Prince Qin, please wait a moment, our princess Niangniang is playing chess with the prince, and will come later."

Chud ordered a good tea to be served to the two brothers, and they waited for them.

Qin Guanrui took a sip of tea and asked in surprise, "Does the princess still play chess?" Z.br>

Chu De laughed, and his words were full of respect and admiration: "The princess can not only play chess, but looking at our entire Dayue, the only person who can make our prince take it seriously is the princess Niangniang."

Qin Guanming and Qin Guanrui naturally didn't believe this.

But if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Chud himself wouldn't have believed it.

But that's exactly what happened.

"The princess is talented, and since the princess came to the house, the old accounts in the house are all old

Not to mention, in the past two months, there has been anything wrong. Even the prince's smile is much more."

Qiu De praised Qin Chaojiu from the bottom of his heart.

Qin Guanrui subconsciously said, "Why didn't the princess see her have such ability when she was in the Hou Mansion?"

Hearing this, Qiu De lowered his head: "The second son of Qin said this, the slave doesn't know, and the slave will go and add some tea to the second son."

A pot of tea was drunk, and Qin Chaojiu did not come.

Qin Guanming had already frowned, Qin Guanrui's temperament was already anxious, so he naturally couldn't sit still, he stood up and paced back and forth, his eyes looking in the direction of the door from time to time.

Qin Chaojiu didn't deliberately hang his two brothers, it was indeed this game of chess in full swing.

Xiao Changdui didn't let go, and he must have let her go after playing this game of chess.

Xiao Changdui held a white chess piece between his slender fingers, and his eyes were locked on the position where Qin Chaojiu had just fallen, and he had not fallen for a long time.

In comparison, Qin Chaojiu is much more leisurely.

Taking advantage of Xiao Changdu's moments of thought, she also showed off a petal of orange in her mouth.

"This game of chess, this king has played."

Suddenly, Xiao Changdui held the chess pieces in his hand tightly.

He slowly raised his eyes, and the doubts in his eyes seemed to have condensed into substance, turning into an invisible sharp knife, trying to drill into Qin Chaojiu's mind and figure out the truth he wanted to know.

Qin Chao leaned back unconsciously: "The chess game is ever-changing, and there is still someone who can be the same as me?"

"Yes."

"Who's that man?"

Xiao Changdui suddenly withdrew his gaze, and was silent for a moment before he said slowly, "This king doesn't know who that person is, but since I can remember, I often appear in this king's dreams."

After a slight pause, Xiao Changdui looked directly at Qin Chaojiu's gaze, and said, "This king thinks that person is you."

Qin Chaojiu smiled when she heard this, she pursed her crimson lips, her eyes were full of sweet laughter, and she stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Changdui's hand: "It turns out that the concubine is actually the prince's dream lover, and the prince is worthy of being the prince, and even the love words are so different."

"Then in this game of chess, in the end, do I win, or does the prince win?" Qin Chaojiu blinked his clear eyes, and his eyes were full of concern for victory or defeat.

Xiao Changdui chuckled: "Naturally, it's ......."

Qin Chaojiu pricked up his ears.

Xiao Changdui said slowly, "This king has won."

As the words fell, Xiao Changdui moved the chess pieces away from the place where they were supposed to land, and landed in a place that made it seem like death.

Qin Chaojiu glanced at it fixedly, and instantly pursed his mouth.

"Princess, don't forget your bet with me." Xiao Changdui got up, and at the same time hooked Qin Chaojiu's hand, and led her to the front hall.

Qin Chaojiu raised his head: "I am willing to lose the bet."

Naturally, she wouldn't know that in her dreams, she had won.

Merely...... Xiao Changdui remembered the crucial move in his dream that caused him to lose, so he was able to change and win this game.
