Return of the Swallow

"Eunuch Lu, you get up first." Qin Huaiyuan helped little Lu Zi up with his polite hands and asked him to sit down in the armchair beside him. He sat opposite Xiao Luzi.

Qin Huaiyuan lowered his eyes, his face remained calm and there was no emotion.

Xiao Luzi was so nervous that he couldn't sit still at all. After a while, sweat appeared on his forehead. He stood up and said: "Master Qin, you are the prince's teacher and the person he trusts most. We, Dayan, Among the people who have come, you are the only one who has the most status now. If you say a word, the Holy Emperor will give you some face. Now you are the only one who can save the prince's life."

Qin Huaiyuan smiled and did not deny what Xiao Luzi said. He just said: "From the specific situation at that time, it seems that the prince's entry into the palace will not necessarily hurt his life. It should be that there is something that the prince and princess should do, so they will They stayed."

Qin Huaiyuan actually had more guesses in his mind.

He suspected that Li Qitian was after the treasure.

In the past, when Li Qitian investigated Yuchiyan, he arranged for people to search and investigate around Yuchiyan. Being able to get Yuchi Yan into the palace this time must be a major clue to the Emperor's treasure.

Although Yuchiyan was the king who lost his country, he was also the last emperor of Yan. Li Qitian must have figured out that Yuchiyan knew something that others did not.

Nowadays, the Zhou Dynasty looks glamorous on the surface, but in fact the treasury is very tight.

Although he was not in charge of the household finance department after he came, according to his observation, Dazhou's money was stretched thin. Although there was financial support from big families like the Lumen family, there was no pie in the sky. Silver support must also pay a corresponding price.

Therefore, Li Qitian should be determined to obtain the treasure left by the Supreme Emperor.

Li Qitian has this kind of mentality. If he plants seeds of suspicion towards Yu Chiyan, he is afraid that things will be difficult to handle in the future.

Qin Huaiyuan has a quick mind and can think a lot in just one breath.

"Xiao Luzi, I already understand the matter. I will try my best to find a way to rescue the prince. You should go back to the mansion and wait for news."

When Xiao Luzi heard this, he looked at Qin Huaiyuan very uneasily.

He was very afraid that Qin Huaiyuan was coaxing him with words. I was afraid that he would get entangled here, so I sent him away first.

But he was just an eunuch, and there was no place for him to speak in the three-thirds of an acre of land in Dazhou.

I no longer have the confidence to question.

Because he can't find any other way now except trusting Qin Huaiyuan.

"I leave everything to Master Qin." Xiao Luzi knelt on the ground and respectfully kowtowed to Qin Huaiyuan three times: "Master Qin, good people will be rewarded. If you don't forget the prince and don't betray your trust, your family will There will be blessings."

Qin Huaiyuan was amused by Xiao Luzi, "I know what you mean, go back."

"Yes, that slave has resigned." Xiao Luzi saluted again, and then reluctantly left the Qin family.

As soon as Xiao Luzi left, the relaxed expression on Qin Huaiyuan's face disappeared without a trace.

He sat on the armchair and tapped the bowl lid with the index finger of his right hand. He couldn't figure out what to do about this matter for a while.

When Qin Yining came in, he saw his father looking worried.

She gently placed a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup in Qin Huaiyuan's hand, and said with a smile: "Father, why don't you take a rest for a while."

Qin Huaiyuan came back to his senses, looked at Qin Yining, and said with a smile: "As a father, I'm just in a daze, what's the point of resting?"

"My father refuses to talk now. Is it difficult to handle the matter?"

Qin Huaiyuan knew that his daughter was not easy to coax, and besides, this matter would also involve the family and her future--\u003e\u003e

.

Qin Huaiyuan explained in detail how Yu Chiyan, Li Yanyan and Gu Chang were invited into the palace and never came out again, and finally said:

"Sister Yi, you are about to get married soon. If my father gets involved in this matter, it will inevitably cause other troubles. My father is afraid of delaying your marriage."

Qin Yining finally understood and asked with a smile: "Father, according to your wishes, do you want to take care of the life safety of Prince Yan?"

"After all, it's a matter of master and servant, teacher and student. I don't think I have the heart of stone to watch him die."

"That's it." Qin Yining said with a smile, "Father, you only need to do what you want in your heart. You don't have to think too much. Now that the marriage between my daughter and Pang Zhixi has been given by the emperor, it is a done deal. My daughter I’m not afraid of trouble, and I’m not afraid of facing trouble with you, so why do you have any hesitation?”

When Qin Huaiyuan heard this, he smiled happily.

His daughter really followed him. She has a free and cheerful temperament and has no dirty thoughts. She is a good and honest child.

Seeing that Qin Huaiyuan remained silent, Qin Yining thought he still hadn't figured it out and said: "Father, just let go and do it, just like you persuaded me last time. I also trust you. You are smart and know how to judge the situation. I I know you will do things in a measured way.

"After all, we are all from Dayan. Yuchiyan has always treated you with courtesy. If Xiao Luzi comes to visit you now, we will ignore you and stand by. Not to mention that it is because of your conscience. In the eyes of outsiders, it is also They think we are too ruthless."

Qin Huaiyuan smiled and said, "I understand. My father will handle this matter, so just prepare for your marriage with peace of mind."

"Yes, if my father intervenes, half the problem will be solved."

Qin Yining talked to Qin Huaiyuan for a while, then returned to his room and continued to do whatever he needed to do.

Qin Huaiyuan went to court as usual the next day, and Qin Yining didn't pay attention.

Who would have known that after Qin Huaiyuan entered the palace, he did not go home that day. Chang Sui, who was following him, only replied to the old lady with a frown on his face.

"It is said that the Holy One has something important to tell the Lord. The Lord asked me to go back to the house and report it, so that the old lady should not worry."

Qin Huaiyuan was an important minister in the court, and it was common for him to be left behind, so the family did not take it seriously.

However, this indifference only lasted two days.

Qin Huaiyuan has stayed in the palace for two nights and still hasn't come back.

Chang Sui went to inquire, but he couldn't find out anything.

"How good is this, how good is this!" The old lady cried anxiously, "What if the Holy One gets angry and hurts Meng Geer? Those people in the palace have many ways to keep silent. The person who handles it!"

When the old lady cried, the whole family became anxious.

Second Mistress Han was about to give birth, but now she was so excited and frightened that she began to have seizures.

Second Mistress Han went to the delivery room to give birth, and Mrs. Sun and Second Mistress both went to help.

At this time, the old lady was pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pot, worried about Mistress Han and even more worried about Qin Huaiyuan.

Qin Yining, the Eighth Miss, and Qin Huining stayed with the old lady.

In the early morning of the next day, Mistress Han gave birth to a six-pound boy. Qin Han jumped three feet high with joy.

But Qin Huaiyuan still didn't go home.

Qin Yining was really worried now. While she was thinking of countermeasures in the room, Bingtang came back.

"Girl, Mr. Gu wants to see you."
