Return of the Swallow

"Not necessarily. My son-in-law, don't be discouraged, discussing the countermeasures first is also to prevent problems before they happen." Qin Huaiyuan patted Pang Xiao's shoulder again comfortingly, with only trust and value in his eyes.

Pang Xiao's heart was moved, his father's admiration was now with Qin Huaiyuan, he nodded solemnly and agreed: "Father-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely act cautiously. Make complete preparations in advance."

"It's so good. Things are set, do your duty, and treat it with a normal heart. You are talented, and although you can't let go because of Sister Yi and the child in her womb, you are still a tiger when you are lying down. It’s not a bad thing to have the opportunity to recharge your batteries.”

Pang Xiao was encouraged a bit, the worries and deep-seated anxiety in his heart were all gone, his eyes were bright and confident as usual.

Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi silently watched the relationship between Qin Huaiyuan and Pang Xiao, their original admiration has now become joy and comfort. They are old and have followed Pang Xiao for many years. Although they are masters and servants, they actually feel sorry for Pang Xiao who has experienced many hardships when he was young.

Pang Xiao has no father's support since he was a child, and was forced to practice on the battlefield. He has grown up to this day. In his life, there are very few people who can take the heart and soul to teach him and advise him as a father. Those who approached him either demanded or depended on him.

Qin Huaiyuan not only cared about the common people, but also disregarded past suspicions. Seeing how he treats Pang Xiao, he should raise some points and encourage him. Obviously, he should be taught as his own child.

Such a father-in-law can be regarded as a guiding light, and it has special meaning and is very important to Pang Xiao.

Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi now respect Qin Huaiyuan from the bottom of their hearts, just like they respected Qin Yining back then. Next, when discussing possible reactions from the palace, the atmosphere was warmer than usual.

However, as expected by few people, Li Qitian not only ordered the soldiers and horses of the five cities to martial law the capital, but also sent additional manpower to the imperial mausoleum in Suongshan to conduct a detailed investigation of the underground palace of the imperial mausoleum of the previous dynasty. Within a few days, the people were panicked. They all thought that some rogues had sneaked into the capital to kill people, but now it's not even the curfew time, the streets are empty of people, and the shops are closed before dark and refuse to do business.

Li Qitian couldn't find the treasure, and lost Yuchiyan, and became more and more sure that the treasure must be in the imperial tomb, maybe there is a part of it in the capital. In the past few days, she has been almost in a daze, even the Queen Mother and the Empress rarely go there, all day long she only tries to figure out the location of the hidden treasure.

However, time passed and the fifth day of September came, and the underground palace in the imperial mausoleum was pried open. Even the coffin of the emperor of Beiji Kingdom was almost exposed, and the treasure was still missing.

Li Qitian also suspected that Tianjizi was playing tricks on him by playing tricks on him.

But these days, many monks and Taoists have been caught, but they have not seen the secret,

It was this person who, under such strict interrogation at the city gate, disappeared as if he had never appeared before, which made Li Qitian even more suspicious.

Qin Yining didn't sleep well these days. The two little guys in her belly were very lively, and she often got up at night, and the autumn tiger was still raging, Qin Yining had faint dark circles under her eyes.

This day, he was standing on the porch with his waist supported, watching Bing Tang and Lian Xiao Porridge kicking chicken feather shuttlecocks, but he heard what seemed to be a noisy sound coming from outside the courtyard wall.

Even the porridge and rock sugar stopped.

Jiyun went out to inquire.

After a while, he came back to report: "Princess, there is no major event outside. Someone from the palace came to deliver the Holy Majesty's oral order, asking the prince to enter the palace to speak."

As soon as the voice fell, Pang Xiao had already entered the yard.

"You girl is quick-talking." Pang Xiao looked at Jiyun with a smile without anger.

Jiyun saluted, bowed his head and stepped aside.

Qin Yining stretched out his arm, and Pang Xiao immediately stepped forward to hold her hand, and said, "Why are you standing here? Are you tired?"

"It's okay. Why did the Holy Majesty summon you suddenly? Was it just you, or someone else?"

Pang Xiao helped Qin Yining back to the house, sat down on the kang by the window, and said: "It's not just me, it is said that the veteran officials of Beiji, the descendants of Dayan, are honorable and noble, but anyone who can be counted is invited into the palace. gone."

Qin Yining frowned, and murmured: "Today is already the fifth day of the lunar new year. What was written in the letter that day was the golden light on September 9?"

"yes."

"Because the day is approaching, the Holy One is anxious. During this period of time, all the digging of the grave has been done, and the child just made some funerary objects. No matter whether he has some mechanism that hasn't been discovered, he should be gone. I'm getting impatient. Calling you all in this time is also an expression of his suspicion."

Pang Xiao nodded with a smile, put his arms around Qin Yining and said: "The hero sees the same thing. His temperament, after getting along with him for a long time, he can naturally feel it in his actions. This time, there must be no progress in the capital and the imperial tomb. He completely believed in the treasure, and if he couldn't find it, he would doubt it everywhere.

"It's not that I am entrusted with it. If he wants to doubt, I will be the first to bear the brunt, and the rest of the important ministers are also suspected. Because it is impossible to determine who did the treasure. He will definitely cast a wide net and catch all doubters. Keep it all in front of your eyes so that it will never happen in the future.”

Qin Yining said worriedly: "So when you go, you will have to stay for a few more days. Things in the palace are turbulent and change from time to time. Can we think about not going?"

Pang Xiao smiled and said: "That's the imperial decree, and this is not the time to openly resist the decree and tear your face, especially the eyes of that one are red now."

Qin Yining touched her round belly and sighed: "Our child came early, but the current situation is not suitable for me to conceive with peace of mind. The court has changed so much, if you want to keep our mother and child safe, you must A lot of sacrifices were made."

Qin Yining knew that with Pang Xiao's character, in the past, he would not be happy, and he would not treat others as ugly when meeting, but he was able to find an irresistible reason to resist the will.

Li Qitian allowed so many people to enter the palace this time, it was clearly under house arrest, and if it was not done well, he would break them down one by one and ask about the whereabouts of the treasures. Pang Xiao went, Qin Yining was really afraid that he would be in danger.

However, Pang Xiao couldn't back down now. He also can't be extravagant.

The current Pang Xiao, even after hundreds of years, the dragon will also rise up. He will try his best to support Qin Yining's mother and son. No matter what he does, he must do it after Qin Yining gives birth. Now everything is stable.

Pang Xiao squeezed Qin Yining's hand, and said with a smile: "Look at you, and sigh again, carefully, the child you will give birth to in the future will look like a little old man."

Qin Yining couldn't help chuckling upon hearing this. Knowing that he was deliberately relieving her, he sighed and said: "Even if you want to enter the palace, you have to retreat. If there is something to be caught in the words of the Holy Majesty, you should go home and try not to go to the palace. good."

"Don't worry. Maybe you guessed wrong. The Holy Majesty is not crazy, why would he keep all the ministers under house arrest?"

Qin Yining smiled and said nothing. Because they all knew that no matter who the Holy One didn't keep, such a big goal as Pang Xiao would definitely stay.
