Return of the Swallow

With trembling hands, Ma Shi bent down to hold Pang Xiao's face, and brushed his thumb over his cheek, making sure that the skin in his hands was warm, this was indeed her beloved grandson, tears blurred her vision again , I didn’t forget to lower my voice under the excitement:

"Dafu, Dafu, you are back! You stinky boy! Do you know that you are scaring your grandma to death!"

Ma Shi is a strong character, Pang Xiao has never seen her so close to collapse, he couldn't help but feel his nose sore, and he almost burst into tears.

Pang Xiao's face rubbed against Ma Shi's hand, "Grandma, don't be sad, the child is fine. Not only me, but also the Holy One."

Under Pang Xiao's intentional reminder, Ma Shi's heart shuddered, and he gradually calmed down, and took a look, who was dressed like a banshee next to him, who is the current Holy Majesty?

Biting his cheek, Mashi tried his best not to show any abnormality, and gave Li Qitian a big gift.

"My old man greets the Holy One. The old man is old and dizzy. He was too excited to see Dafu. He was rude for a while. Please forgive me."

Li Qitian supported him with both hands, and said with a smile: "Why is the old lady so polite, we are all from our own, Zhixi and I have no distinction between each other, but now we are going to bother the family..."

Mrs. Ma smiled honestly: "What are you talking about? It's our honor. You haven't eaten yet, have you? So, I will order someone to prepare meals and clothes for washing." Looking at the dirt all over Ji Zeyu, Pang Xiao Li Qitian and Li Qitian were also in a mess, and Ma said heartbroken: "Hey, you have all suffered."

Qin Yining supported his waist and said to Ma Shi in a low voice: "Grandma, the news of the salvation of the Holy Majesty and Dafu is not suitable to be publicized now, so don't let it slip when you go out. If anyone asks, just say that Marquis Dingbei sent me back, why not?" I want to keep the meal as a thank you."

Mrs. Ma nodded solemnly: "Hey, grandma knows, don't worry. I'll make preparations later, and I'll set up a meal in the front hall, and ask my father-in-law to entertain Dingbei Hou outside. The Holy Majesty is a little bit aggrieved, and in Siqing Let's eat in the garden."

Li Qitian was so happy, he smiled and said: "Thanks for your thoughtfulness."

"Your Majesty, don't be so polite, it's really frustrating for me." Ma Shi was very polite before turning around and stepping back to make arrangements.

Not long after, Xianyun and Lian Xiaoyu came with a change of clothes. Seeing Pang Xiao came back, Xianyun and Lian Xiaoyu jumped up and down happily. Qin Yining had to ask them again. Know how to measure, even if you know what to do.

Pang Xiao led Li Qitian and Ji Zeyu to take a detour to take a bath and change clothes in the clean room prepared in the back room.

The three big men were originally from the army. They fought together on the battlefield in the early years, and they went through the wind and rain, and the mountains of corpses and blood. It's just that after enjoying the wealth, everyone's minds have changed.

Now the three of them have turned into mud monkeys, pouring a ladle of warm water on it, and what comes down is black water. The three big men looked at each other, and couldn't help but muffled laughter.

The barriers between Li Qitian and Pang Xiao are almost non-existent in this matter.

Li Qitian wiped soap locust on his head and body, and said in a low voice, "It was the three of us who ruled the world earlier, and now it's the three of us again."

Pang Xiao wrapped the towel around his palm twice and scrubbed his body. Hearing this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Isn't it? It's hard to fight the country, but it's even harder to sit on the country. But don't worry, my lord, the loyalty of the ministers remains the same as before."

Ji Zeyu also nodded. His washed long hair was coiled behind his head. The dripping drops of water slid all the way down the back that was as white as jade but covered with scars.

The three of them were covered with scars, Li Qitian was slightly better, but there were also some scars. Both Pang Xiao and Li Qitian had scars from the fatal injuries that almost killed them.

Li Qitian looked at the two with mixed feelings in his heart.

For a moment, he even felt that it was wrong for him to suspect the two of them, and to have murderous intentions towards Pang Xiao.

They were so motivated to fight before, but now he is forced by the situation to hide in Prince Zhongshun's mansion.

I don't know how to go in the future.

Li Qitian sighed melancholy, and the three of them continued to scrub.

Qin Yining's room also washed and changed clothes, and while the three of them were taking a bath, they went to the front hall to meet Qin Huaiyuan.

Qin Yining said with a smile: "Today I have some abdominal pains on the mountain, thanks to Marquis Dingbei for sending me down the mountain, my father will help me treat guests later, thank you Marquis Dingbei."

Qin Huaiyuan looked at Qin Yining's complexion and saw that her face was radiant, and the corners of her eyes and brows were full of joy, as if the suffering of these days had been swept away, so she knew it in her heart.

What can make her daughter so happy must be Pang Xiao's good news.

Qin Huaiyuan nodded and said, "Don't worry. Father will treat you for you later."

"Thank you, father. I will use up the meal later, and my father will come to my place. I have something to discuss with my father."

Qin Huaiyuan's heart moved, he nodded in understanding and said, "Understood."

Qin Yining and Ma Shi personally watched the food and wine being prepared, and they brought them back to Siqing Garden.

After washing, the black hair stood up neatly on the back of the head, changing --\u003e\u003e

Ji Zeyu, who was dressed in a sapphire-blue baoxiang-pattern embroidered arrow-sleeved gown with a jade belt around his waist, was led by the maid to the front hall.

Ji Zeyu was born fair and pretty, but his figure was similar to Pang Xiao's. Wearing this colorfully patterned robe on his body, he seemed a bit more icy beautiful.

Seeing Qin Huaiyuan, Ji Zeyu first bowed his hands and saluted: "Uncle Qin."

"Dingbei Hou, don't hesitate to do this, please sit down."

After Ji Zeyu took his seat, he and Qin Huaiyuan started to eat together. When the two of them talked about the matter on the mountain, Ji Zeyu only said that he would continue to dig tomorrow, and Qin Huaiyuan also showed melancholy and anxiety very cooperatively.

Ji Zeyu left after finishing his meal.

Qin Huaiyuan specially ordered someone to prepare a good horse for Ji Zeyu.

After Ji Zeyu rode away on his horse, Qin Huaiyuan was carried by his servants to Siqing Garden.

And a certain group of people secretly watching outside the palace told the news to the eldest princess's palace.

"Back to the eldest princess, Concubine Ji personally sent Princess Zhongshun back to the palace today. When she entered, she was covered in mud, and when she came out, she not only took a bath, but also changed into new clothes. It seems that Concubine Ji is in a good mood."

Li Helan has been in a very irritable mood for the past two days. The emperor's life and death are unknown, and she always feels that she has a bad premonition, but the current mother and queen are not the same as before, and she refuses to listen to her.

Ji Zeyu became more and more indifferent to her, and he didn't treat her mother with enough respect. That day, he even humiliated the servants of Ci'an Palace in public.

Later, Ji Zeyu even confronted her own uncle head-on because of that bitch's father Qin Yining.

Her uncle robbed the military power of Ji Zeyu's Huben army. She was indeed a little dissatisfied with this matter, but it was arranged by the queen mother, and she had no choice.

But Ji Zeyu refused to give her the face of his own uncle, he just didn't take her seriously.

Looking back on these days, when Ji Zeyu saw her, his eyes were cold as if she was a stranger.

Now hearing this servant's words, Li Helan thought of Ji Zeyu arranging a conflict between his personal guards and the Marquis of Qingyang in order to protect the palace, and couldn't help feeling sour in his heart, and asked coldly: "Are you serious? The son-in-law really went to the palace to change. Out of a suit of clothes? Didn’t you misread it in the middle of the night?”

The spy quickly shook his head, "Your reading is correct, Ji Concubine really sent the princess back to the mansion, and stayed there for about an hour."

Li Helan gritted her teeth.

He didn't even see Ji Zeyu willing to give her any good looks, but he had the patience to go to the palace to accompany his friend's wife, and even changed clothes there.

What the heck did he do?

Could it be that Ji Zeyu fell in love with that goblin Qin Yining?

Li Helan looked at her own appearance in the mirror, then thought about Qin Yining's appearance, and immediately slapped the table hard in hatred.

"What a vixen! You don't forget to seduce men even when you're pregnant!"

"The eldest princess...here, the little one..." He didn't say that Ji Zeyu had that kind of relationship with Princess Zhongshun, why did the eldest princess think so wrongly!

If the son-in-law knew about this, wouldn't he become a teller?

Only then did the spy realize how much ambiguity his words would cause, and he was busy trying to make up for it, but the eldest princess didn't give him this time, and waved him off directly.

When Li Helan was sullen and wanted to kill someone, the Siqing Garden had already used up dinner.

Qin Huaiyuan had dinner with Li Qitian, during which time he roughly explained what happened in the capital during the twenty days they were trapped in the underground palace in a flat tone.

Because he was no longer an official of the imperial court, Qin Huaiyuan did not elaborate on the news that Qin Yining had inquired about, but only said what normal people in the capital could see.

But even so, Li Qitian was so angry that he lost his appetite.

Li Qitian was greatly disappointed by the actions of the queen mother and empress.

Qin Yining asked the servants to remove the table and ordered them to serve tea.

Seeing that the atmosphere was still very serious, Qin Yining persuaded, "Young Majesty, calm down. The Empress Dowager has no other choice. The Majesty is trapped in the underground palace, and the Empress Dowager can only ensure that the country will not change hands. , This is also for the Holy Majesty to protect the country. Fortunately, the Holy Majesty is safe, and everything is in time."

Hearing what Qin Yining said, Li Qitian calmed down and analyzed it, and there was indeed such a meaning.

And now is not the time to pursue the Queen Mother.

Li Qitian said: "Now that I want to restore my identity, the most important thing is to find a way to let the Queen Mother know that I am still alive. I believe that with my own son here, the Queen Mother is reluctant to give her full strength to others."

"What the Holy Majesty said is true." Pang Xiao nodded, and said again: "King Li Jun has obviously moved his mind. If the Holy Majesty comes forward, he will definitely try to stop him. At this time, it is best to find a way to get past Li Junwang. Eyes and ears, let the Queen Mother know that the Holy Majesty is safe and sound."

Qin Yining raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's very simple. Just leave it to me and I can do it."
