Return of the Swallow

Qin Yining leaned on Pang Xiao's shoulder and said lazily: "Did you know before that the Zhuangzi where the Lord arranged for us to live?"

Pang Xiao smiled and said: "I've heard before that there are only a few imperial villages around the capital. But I didn't pay much attention to it."

Qin Yining couldn't help but sneered: "Since he arranged for us to live there, he must have chosen a Zhuangzi that you are not familiar with and that is easy for him to make arrangements for. But we don't have to worry today. The ninety-nine steps of the Holy Spirit have gone. It's not bad. One step, for the sake of reputation, our safety tonight can also be guaranteed."

Hearing this, Pang Xiao couldn't help but take her hand and kiss it. He originally wanted to comfort Qin Yining. These words were what he intended to say to comfort her. Unexpectedly, she figured it out on her own.

It has to be said that having a wife as smart and knowledgeable as Qin Yining is really a blessing for a man like him who never lives a peaceful life.

The carriage slowly stopped outside Zhuangzi. The palace people who had been arranged in the manor hurriedly opened the main entrance of the manor. The chamberlains and maids were divided into two rows, and they knelt down on the left and right sides to salute: "Welcome Prince Zhongshun and Princess Zhongshun!"

Seeing such a big battle here, Pang Xiao couldn't help but feel funny, and whispered in Qin Yining's ear: "Are you tired? Ignore so much for now, let's go and rest for a while."

Qin Yining smiled and nodded. Seeing Pang Xiao get out of the car, he also wanted to lift the curtain and come out. Who knew that as soon as he stretched out his hand, Pang Xiao had already taken her out and strode towards the village.

Naturally, the palace and the servants did not dare to raise their heads and observe randomly. They all lowered their eyebrows and looked at a pair of soap boots passing in front of them. When they heard the other party's steps getting farther and farther, they dared to stand up and bow. They walked into the village in a row.

Qin Yining was not used to being carried into Zhuangzi by Pang Xiao like this. But when he saw that no one around him dared to take another look, he finally felt a little better. He blushed and rolled his eyes at him, and whispered: "It's not like I hurt my leg. There's no need for this."

"You didn't hurt your leg, but you couldn't eat well or sleep well during this journey. I feel distressed just looking at you. It's up to me to do the walking for these few steps."

Qin Yining became even more embarrassed by what he said, so she simply turned her eyes away, closed her eyes and fell asleep in his arms.

Not long after, Pang Xiao hugged Qin Yining and, surrounded by a group of people, arrived at the main house of the manor.

An elderly palace maid in her early thirties with a dignified appearance came out and saluted: "Your Majesty, the Holy Father has ordered that the Prince and Princess please stay in the main room. Everything has been arranged neatly."

Pang Xiao saw that the palace maid looked familiar, so he asked.

The maid replied: "To tell you the truth, your servant Lanchi used to be from the Queen Mother's Palace."

Pang Xiao nodded and remembered where he had seen her.

Lanchi did belong to the Queen Mother's Palace, but before Princess Anyang married Ji Zeyu, the maid serving beside her was Lanchi. Later, when the princess mansion was opened outside, Lanchi didn't go with her for some reason, but stayed with the Queen Mother.

"I didn't expect that Your Majesty could arrange for Aunt Lanchi to come to Zhuangzi, which really scares me. I am extremely grateful that Zhuo Jing can be taken care of by Aunt Lanchi."

Lan Chi hurriedly saluted, even saying that he didn't dare. Then he called the palace maids and the eunuchs, and led Pang Xiao, Qin Yining and the others to the main hall.

Although the capital is further south than Tatar, it is still in the north. The weather is still a bit cold as May approaches.

There is a charcoal basin burning in the main hall, and what is burned on it is smoke-free and dust-free silver frost charcoal. Everything in the room is placed in an orderly manner, and the decoration is luxurious and warm.

Pang Xiao carefully placed Qin Yining on the soft couch in the inner room, then turned around and ordered: "The princess is heavy now and likes to be quiet. If there are no instructions, you don't have to come in to serve. Lanchi can just stay."

The palace people should have retreated, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief - it was great not to be in the same room with Prince Zhongshun.

With a smile on her face, Lan Chi served Qin Yining's arrangements and ordered people to prepare meals.

Pang Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and ordered: "Let them prepare others first.

The palace will arrange for the imperial physician to come over, and she will have to ask the imperial physician what the princess needs. "

Lan Chi paused and understood what Pang Xiao meant in the blink of an eye. Pang Xiao was reminding them in disguise not to interfere with the princess's food. The Holy Emperor still cared about him as the prince, otherwise he would not have welcomed her so grandly, nor would he have arranged for the palace servants to come to Zhuangzi to serve, let alone Arrange for an imperial doctor to come and treat the princess.

Lan Chi quickly agreed: "Yes, I will obey the prince's instructions. I will never neglect the princess's food and drink."

Pang Xiao did not answer immediately, but looked at her seriously.

Lanchi bent her knees, bowed her waist and lowered her head. Even though her calves were almost cramped with fatigue, she still maintained a trembling salute posture. She could feel Pang Xiao's sharp eyes piercing her back like a knife. For a moment, Lan Chi even felt that he would be pulled out and chopped directly.

Just when Lanchi was almost scared to tears, a gentle and clear female voice came from the side: "Okay, what are you doing?"

Pang Xiao immediately moved his steps over there and asked, "Are you tired?" His voice was extremely gentle and caring.

Lan Chi raised his eyes tremblingly, and met the eyes of the woman leaning on the soft couch. For a moment, Lan Chi even felt that he was dreaming. Because this girl was so beautiful, she didn't look like a real person, but she looked like a beautiful woman carved from white jade by divine craftsmen. Every part of her body was exquisite.

No wonder! Compared with Princess Zhongshun, the eldest princess Anyang is not enough. It is no wonder that the prince would refine steel and turn it into a soft finger for her.

Qin Yining saw that the palace maid was trembling all over and still maintaining her saluting posture, so she couldn't help but said: "Get up. I'm a little tired. Please prepare some hot water."

"Yes." Lan Chi saluted gratefully and retreated, but she knew in her heart that preparing the hot water was originally done by the junior eunuch. The princess asked her to go out just to help her out.

Qin Yining watched the person walk away with a smile, and then pinched the back of Pang Xiao's hand: "Are you trying to be a bad person to highlight me as a good person?"

"No way." Pang Xiao touched his nose and said with a smile: "I just gave them a few words. If someone gets distracted and hurts you, wouldn't it be too late by then? So I am doing this It’s called preparing for a rainy day and taking precautions before they happen.”

Hearing this, Qin Yining couldn't help but said with a smile: "You have all the truth." She leaned on him and said: "Don't make things too difficult for irrelevant people. It's even more difficult for people living at the lower level. We should take precautions when we should, But don’t make things difficult for others, especially don’t kill in vain. Now that we have a child, we still need to accumulate blessings for the child.”

Pang Xiao looked at Qin Yining's gentle eyes, and his heart became extra soft and warm. He leaned over and kissed her eyelashes, "I will listen to you. I will also do more good deeds for you and ours." Children accumulate virtue.”

In fact, at this time, Pang Xiao felt very uneasy.

When Qin Yining didn't talk about it, he didn't care about himself. He never believed in these metaphysical statements. He only believed that man can conquer nature.

But with a real weakness and someone he cares about, Pang Xiao found that he started to worry about the murder he had committed. He was not afraid of what would happen to him, but he was afraid of hurting Qin Yining and their children.

Therefore, the last thing a talent like him should have is a weakness. If he is tied up, he may have worries when he is working hard. But Pang Xiao is still grateful for everything he has now.

After the hot water was prepared, Qin Yining and Pang Xiao simply washed themselves under the service of the palace servants.

Not long after, Sun Guang rushed over with two doctors who were the best at Qianjin Medicine in Tai Hospital.

"Your Majesty, the imperial doctor has been brought here."

Pang Xiao nodded and did not intend to follow Sun Guang out. He just waited for the two of them to diagnose and treat him.

The two imperial doctors checked the pulse but did not dare to wait half a minute. They went outside and explained Qin Yining's current symptoms to Pang Xiao. Pang Xiao felt relieved when he heard that their explanations were no different from those of the doctors who had seen Qin Yining in the past.

Thinking about it, Li Qitian would never interfere with matters like imperial physician.

This also further illustrates that Li Qitian must have arranged the dragon pool and tiger den this time to wait for Pang Xiao. He had already dismissed these petty fights and was waiting to kill Pang Xiao and Qin Yining with one blow.

Anyone else would definitely feel nervous or afraid when they see that tomorrow's meeting is the time to confront Li Qitian. After all, the chance of success for ordinary people against the imperial power is extremely slim. There are so many heroes and heroes in history who have established a country and a country, but in the end they were enshrined in the imperial power.

However, Pang Xiao was not afraid. Instead, he was excited from the bottom of his heart.

He is the kind of person who will definitely face difficulties when encountering them. It is not his style to give up without a fight. Li Qitian has been using roundabout methods for many years, and Pang Xiao is just trying to see what method Li Qitian will use to kill him now.

%

While Pang Xiao and Qin Yining were resting in Huangzhuang, no one knew who had spread the news in the city.

"Prince Zhongshun committed treason, and the Holy One actually arranged for him to live in the Imperial Manor. The Holy One really cares for his ministers. It's a pity that the minister did not give credit to His Majesty, but did such a betrayal of the country. It is really deserving. kill!"

"Yes. The Holy One is really tolerant of Prince Zhongshun. It is said that Prince Zhongshun is so arrogant that he even dares to resist the decree."

…

When Qin Huaiyuan, the second master, and the third master took a carriage back home, there were people in the streets and alleys discussing the matter of Pang Xiao's return and being placed in Zhuangzi.

The second master was frightened when he heard this, and whispered: "Brother, what are they..."

Qin Huaiyuan waved his hand with a gentle expression, signaling the second master not to say anything.

The second master understood immediately and quickly shut his mouth.

They are Qin Yining's natal family, and they must have been under the supervision of the Holy One during this period. If they accidentally say something that offends the Holy One, wouldn't they make the family suffer?

The carriage drove slowly back to Qin Mansion.

The group of people got out of the car and entered the house as usual.
