The carved wooden table was full of dishes, and for a while they were staggered, happy, talking and laughing until the time of the unitary, until the end only Nalan and Ma Qi were left.

"Uncle, it's not too early, you better rest early, I'll go back to the house first." Nalan saluted.

"It's better to sit down, you've entered the palace this time, but you'll make a detour." Ma Qi was half-lying on the kang and began to smoke a large cigarette.

"Lan'er really has a few questions she wants to ask." Nalan is no longer polite, there are some questions that she is inconvenient to ask Hongli, and I am afraid that only her uncle is the only one who knows about the affairs of the court.

"Sit down, do you want to ask something about Miyariwan's promise." The smoke was so thick that Nalan couldn't see Ma Qi's face clearly.

Ma Qi didn't wait for Nalan to answer, and then said slowly: "It is said that this is a matter in the harem, and I can't control it, but there are too many things involved behind this promise, I have heard about it, and I have heard that her relationship with you is okay." ”

"It's just that I had some contacts with her during the draft, so when I was in the palace, I had some contacts."

"No matter what, the emperor is already suspicious of us, but it doesn't matter, the emperor is a suspicious person."

Ma Qi's words did not surprise Nalan, she should have guessed that she and Qingwan were close, and she would definitely be suspected, presumably Hongli asked her to go home, firstly, to let her avoid the limelight, and secondly, I am afraid it was also to tempt.

"Don't worry, the emperor can't move us now, even if we do something, he doesn't dare to move, the court is already in turmoil, and the emperor also wants to invade Qinghai, the emperor lacks everything now, but, Lan'er, how do you know that Wan promised to be a spy." Ma Qi put down the big cigarette in his hand and looked at Nalan with some sharp eyes, he didn't allow his family to betray the Manchus, in that case, he would choose to do it himself, even if it was his beloved niece.

"Uncle, it's all Lan'er's fault." Nalan knew how wrong he was, and threw himself to his knees.

"Get up and speak, you are now noble, you don't have to kneel to me." Ma Qi said indifferently.

"Uncle, Lan'er was also young and ignorant at the beginning, I don't know if my uncle can remember a son I liked at the beginning, named Xi Beichen." Nalan knew that if she didn't make it clear to her uncle, she was afraid that the road she would have to take in the future would become more and more difficult, which was why she came back this time.

"Xi Beichen? I've heard your aunt mention it, but now, what are you mentioning him for? ”

"He is the Khan of the Dzungar Khanate." Nalan didn't dare to look at Ma Qi, and he didn't need to look at how scary Ma Qi's gaze must have been.

"What!" The cigarette pouch fell on the kang with a thud.

"Lan'er only blames herself for being clumsy at the beginning." Nalan said that the tears were also falling with a snap, she was not crying for anyone, she was crying for herself, crying for the dead woman.

Ma Qi was actually a patriarch of the imperial court, and he had never seen anything in the world, although he was surprised, he quickly recovered, picked up the cigarette pouch, and said slowly: "You are pregnant, get up and speak, I know that you are not to blame." ”

Nalan also knew his physical condition, so he also got up, sat back in his place, and told Ma Qi the reason one by one, but omitted the conversation between Ce Ling and himself in the grassland, and the conversation with Qingwan at the end.

After hearing this, Ma Qi's complexion did not change much, and he took a few puffs of smoke and spit it out.

"So, you know they have a plan?"

Nalan nodded, and then said, "I've been looking for an opportunity to say it, but I haven't been able to say it, and then I heard the news of Qingwan's death." ”

"Well, it is said that the emperor received a roster, which involves many officials, but whether the officials above are true or false is also uncertain, but the emperor said that it is better to kill a hundred than to let go of one, so now, the officials of the court are like mice, jumping up and down, and the chickens and dogs are restless." After finishing speaking, Ma Qi looked at Nalan again, that look, Nalan was numb when he was watched, if he didn't say anything, I am afraid that his uncle would still doubt himself.

"Is that roster a deliberate ghost made by Ce Ling?"

"You say this, aren't you afraid of being ashamed of your old friend?" The last sentence with this last sound.

"When Lan'er knew that he was Ce Zero, when he married the fourth elder brother, he parted ways with this, uncle, rest assured, Lan'er will not disgrace the family." Nalan's words reassured Ma Qi and nodded.

"A small roster has not yet made any big noise, and now the Dzungar Khanate is also in a hot war with Russia, but it gives us plenty of time to prepare grain, grass, silver, weapons, etc., and then it will be a fisherman's profit." Ma Qi said that he was happy, but he also revealed the military situation selflessly.

Nalan secretly heard that the Dzungar Khanate was fighting with Russia, and also learned that the imperial court was also preparing for war, and was shocked, and also realized that the battle was probably inevitable, and we were destined to be enemies.

Nalan then said a few words to Ma Qi, and then prepared to leave, but when he reached the threshold, Ma Qi said slowly: "Fu Heng's kid is not too young, if you can go to the palace to accompany which prince to study, I am afraid that the court will naturally not treat you badly in the future." ”

Nalan looked back at the portrait hanging in the main hall, it was the portrait of Mi Sihan, this is the Fucha family, who can not care about merit and fame.

"Lan'er, understood."
