Return of the Swallow

Pang Xiao had expected that such a thing would happen, and Li Qitian would definitely ask him to talk to him in person to test it out.

Pang Xiao stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Return to the Holy Lord, I think this matter may be a trap."

"Oh? How do you say that?" Li Qitian looked calm, and looked at Pang Xiao's expression without any trace, as if he wanted to see any calculating expression on his face.

Pang Xiao thinks that this matter does not involve his own interests and safety, and it is okay to be frank, so he said: "Tian Jizi is full of tricks, and has a heart for foreigners, and is full of hostility towards my great Zhou. How can he remind us where the treasure of the Yan Dynasty is hidden? She really knows the whereabouts of the treasure, and it’s too late to find a way to hide it from us and transport it to Tatar. What’s more, the vicinity of the capital is heavily guarded. If someone transports the treasure in, the Holy Majesty will have discovered it long ago. I don’t know what Tianjizi did this time Trap to help the Tatars, I hope the Holy Majesty will not trust you."

Li Qitian nodded, pretending to trust and said: "You are absolutely right. I feel the same way."

But Li Qitian was full of suspicion.

Pang Zhixi was almost successfully impeached by his people last time, how could he really help him this time? Could it be that the whereabouts of the treasure is really known, and that he deliberately misleads him by saying this, in order to prevent him from getting the treasure?

Thinking about it this way, Li Qitian believed a little more in the fact that there was a treasure hidden in Suongshan.

It's not that hard though.

Li Qitian made up his mind, and ordered people: "Immediately dispatch 3,000 people from the Jingwei Station of the Fifth Military Battalion to surround the Emperor's Mausoleum in Chongshan. I want to see if the so-called Yanlong vein at the bottom of Chongshan is true or not!"

Even though Pang Xiaodang frowned slightly, he didn't expect such an obvious trap. Li Qitian would send people directly to surround the imperial mausoleum of Mount Suong. It was the same as the method of surrounding the old capital of Dayan, to prevent the treasure from slipping away from under his nose. But if Tianjizi wanted this kind of result, wouldn't they have been tricked?

Pang Xiao wanted to persuade him again, but after thinking about it, he understood why Li Qitian suddenly became aggressive, so he couldn't help raising his eyebrows in a funny way.

It seems that his blunt words made Li Qitian even more suspicious.

No matter what he said, Li Qitian would feel that he had malicious intentions, so he didn't intend to say more.

For a birthday banquet, everyone who was disturbed by this incident was no longer interested. But after a hasty cutscene, they parted ways.

Not to mention how sad the Empress Dowager will be when she returns to Ci'an Palace, even celebrating her birthday is unpleasant.

Qin Yining and Pang Xiao sat on the carriage back home,

Also thinking about today.

"Tell me, what is Tianjizi's intention?" Qin Yining leaned on Pang Xiao as a backrest, and Pang Xiao also opened his arms to hug her, trying to reduce the bumps of the carriage as much as possible.

Pang Xiao's deep voice seemed to be pouring out, coaxing Qin Yining patiently: "Don't worry about this. Let's just live in the mansion and not get involved in the disturbances outside."

Qin Yining rubbed the center of her brows, and said wearily: "I don't want to worry either. But the fact that Tianjizi wanted to kill me several times is not fake. She is full of hostility towards me, so I can't be sure about you. This time she Let me remind you first that I can keep you safe by living in the mansion, and then I went to the palace to light a firecracker... I heard people say, 'I have been pregnant for three years, I feel that my brain is not enough now."

Pang Xiao carefully removed the heavy beads and phoenix provocations on her head, let her long hair hang down, and simply tied it loosely with a hair tie, and then gently massaged her temples.

Qin Yining breathed a sigh of relief, and more and more put the weight on the people behind him, "I didn't feel tired before with a big makeup, maybe I'm used to being so sloppy at home."

"Even if you don't comb your hair or wash your face, you are still the most beautiful."

His lips brushed against Qin Yining's ear, causing Qin Yining to shrink her neck and avoid it with a smile.

Although Pang Xiao successfully shifted the topic away. But when she returned to the mansion, in the dead of night and insomnia, she would still guess the purpose of Tianjizi's trip.

She couldn't understand it. But she could feel that whether it was her, Pang Xiao or Li Qitian, they were all pawns of Tianjizi. Tianjizi is playing a big game of chess.

It's only been two days since such a peaceful day, this afternoon Qin Yining just got up for a lunch break when Lian Xiaozhu quickly ran in from the door.

"elder sister!"

Qin Yining smiled at Lian Xiaocong and reached out to her.

Even Xiao Porridge followed Bingtang to learn the rules. Now everyone calls her Princess, and the queen also tries to follow the rules. Only when she is too anxious and excited will she be called sister.

"What's going on? See you sweating, come and sit down."

Lian Xiaoyu's face was flushed like a girl's. She pointed to the direction outside the mansion, spoke slowly and clearly: "Someone outside said that two carts of treasure were found at the east gate and west gate."

Qin Yining stared in surprise, recruited Lian Xiaoyu to sit down next to her, and took a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her forehead, "Xiaoyu, you said a treasure was found outside? Are you sure you found it?"

"Yeah!" Lian Xiaoxuan nodded seriously, "I just heard what they said. The east gate and the west gate have a cart on each side. When you open it, they are all antiques from the Yan Dynasty."

Qin Yining's eyes were deep in thought: "Are they going out or coming in?"

Lian Xiaoyu was stunned by the question, and shook his head, apparently not knowing.

At this moment, Bingtang and Jiyun came back from the outside together, and seeing Qin Yining talking with Lian Xiaoyu, and Qin Yining's face was still a bit solemn, they knew that Lian Xiaoyu had already told Qin Yining about the matter quickly.

Bingtang tapped Lian Xiaoyu's cheeks, and said to Qin Yining: "Princess, a cart of antiques from the Yan Dynasty was found at the east and west gates. They were supposed to be transported outside, but they were stopped by the guards of the gates. This matter is extremely troublesome." Great, the Holy Majesty was shocked, and ordered the confidant Chief Li and Prince Ji to check together, and now it is confirmed that those are all from the Great Yan Dynasty."

Qin Yining nodded slowly, "Where are your lord and my father?"

"Now I have called the staff, they are all in the study of the outer courtyard." Bingtang helplessly poked Lian Xiaoyu's forehead lightly, "We didn't want the princess to worry too much, but who knew that this little girl is quick-talking."

Qin Yining took Lian Xiaoyu's hand and praised, "It's wrong for you not to let me know anything, Xiaoyu is better."

Lian Xiaoyu nodded blushingly: "In the future, I will tell my sister... Wangfei."

Bing Tang was annoyed by Lian Xiao Porridge's "traitor" behavior and scratched her itch. Lian Xiaoyu hid with a smile, and the two played a game of chasing and hiding in the room. The clear and cheerful singing of the girls spread far and wide, and even the maids serving in the yard were infected by the laughter, and couldn't help but smile on their faces.

Compared with the relaxed atmosphere of the palace, Li Qitian in the palace is not happy at this time.

He sat behind the paulownia black lacquered table in the imperial study with a face as heavy as water, and asked Ji Zeyu in a deep voice, "Did you see it clearly just now? It's not my eyes, it's really an antique from the Great Yan Dynasty?"

ps: Friends, happy Chinese New Year, prosperous year of the dog!
