Return of the Swallow

Silver-faced spies used to do some "dirty work". What kind of world has you never seen? It is not difficult for them to bring someone in without alarming others.

Qin Yining had already put on the homely honey-colored beige in this room, and went outside to wake up Qiulu, lest someone would come in later and wake up Qiulu, and it would be bad for her to scream out loud.

With a shame on her face, Qiu Lu took a headband, carefully tied Qin Yining's half-dry long hair into a loose bundle, and then took a white fox fur to wrap it around for her.

"It's all bad for the servants. It should be the servants who go to night, but the servants are so sleepy that they don't even know what happened. It really shouldn't be." Qiu Lu lowered her voice and apologized eagerly, but she was also afraid of what happened. Manager Cheng listened to him.

"What are you talking about, don't think too much," Qin Yining patted the back of Qiu Lu's hand, "Jing Zhe told me quietly, think about his identity, if he deliberately didn't want people to notice, but you gave him If he finds out, isn't he going to be sad?"

Qiulu couldn't help laughing when she heard the words, and felt a little better. Qin Yining has always been lenient towards them and never cared about trivial matters, but the more lenient the master is, the more they should not be neglected.

Qiu Lu secretly made up her mind to hand over the hand stove with a moderate temperature to you, and then chose an inconspicuous corner to stand there.

At this time, there was a rustling sound outside the window, and Qiu Lu hurriedly opened the window. Jing Zhe brought Lu Heng in and landed silently.

Jing Zhe turns around and closes the window, being careful not to make any sound from the window. Immediately, he also hid in a corner, not planning to leave, apparently afraid of the danger of only two weak women in the room.

Lu Heng shook the snow on the squirrel fur cloak, raised his eyes, and looked at Qin Yining with a smile.

Under the warm orange light, Qin Yining's half-slap-sized face was covered by a white fox fur collar, her skin was as shiny as jade, her long hair hung down softly behind her, tied loosely with a hair tie, her slender white hands Holding an exquisite small heater the size of an apple, the whole person just stood there without talking, like a painting, which made people feel soft after seeing it.

Lu Heng's smile deepened, and he lowered his voice and said, "Long time no see."

Qin Yining also laughed in a low voice: "Long time no see. Second Master Lu seems to be doing well."

Hearing that she didn't call him Uncle Loyalty, but called herself Second Master Lu as she did back in the desert, Lu Heng seemed to warm up from his heart to his fingertips, and even his blood was heating up. Some hesitation and regret, but now there is no regret at all.

"I am also a old appearence,

You look good too. I heard you have two sons now? "

"Yes." She was still pregnant when she left Beijing, and now the two babies are almost one year old.

Qin Yining's smile became more gentle, and he stretched out his hand to invite: "Let's sit down and talk."

"good."

Qin Yining and Lu Heng went to sit in the inner room.

Jing Zhe turned off the lights to the darkest, and covered the windows with curtains to prevent people outside from seeing the shadows in the house.

Qin Yining and Lu Heng lowered their voices and spoke reassuringly.

"I heard that your life in the south with the prince is not going very well."

"It's okay. I'm just taking care of the children, and I don't need to do anything. The prince will do all the important things." Qin Yining avoided the important ones.

Lu Heng knew that she would not tell him about Pang Xiao's affairs, so he bypassed the subject wisely, and said bluntly, "After I learned that you will return to Beijing as an ambassador to welcome relatives, I arranged a time for you to come to Beijing." Follow the news of your return to Beijing."

Qin Yining nodded.

"I have inquired about it. Princess Tana, who came here for marriage, is Ana Rihan's younger sister. Although she is a concubine, she has a good relationship with Ana Rihan. She has always been very dependent on her sister. Back then, Ana Rihan After she passed away, Princess Tana was almost blind from crying, I am worried that if you become the wedding ambassador, you will be murdered."

Qin Yining smiled wryly and said: "I don't know the danger? It's just that the Holy Majesty's decree is so, and I have no other choice but to receive the decree. Fortunately, this is the capital of Dazhou, not Tatar, and Princess Tana is here to make a marriage , she should also put peace first, right? I don't think she will do anything to me."

Lu Heng shook his head, "If you sincerely want to harm someone, aren't there many ways? You are too naive, and the methods used by those women in the palace to fight each other are more vicious than men. Tana is not so easy to deal with."

"Thank you." Qin Yining smiled, his eyes curved, "I see, I will pay attention."

She was never willing to live up to the sincere concern of others. The positions of Pang Xiao and Lu Heng became more and more different, but after all, they were friends who had shared weal and woe.

Lu Heng seemed to be patted by the cat's soft paw pads, making him wish he could pick up the kitten and pet her. In his eyes, Qin Yining was a beautiful and delicate kitten.

Lu Heng's eyes became particularly soft, and his deep voice became more gentle: "I will help you find a way."

Qin Yining noticed the thick and ambiguous atmosphere, felt vigilant, nodded uncomfortably, and smiled slightly: "Thank you for your kindness, but there is no need. It is not necessary because I let you take this muddy water, and your own situation is also It's not easy."

What she was talking about was naturally about the Qiu family.

Seeing that Qin Yining seemed to be vigilant, Lu Heng's love for her increased rather than diminished.

She was in danger, but she was still able to be loyal to her husband, and she didn't need to be so charming and charming as many women to achieve her goal. He had always known her character to be excellent.

After all, many women flock to him when they see him, because he is the patriarch of the Lumen family, a popular person around the Holy One, and he has the title of Loyalty Earl, so he has a bright future.

But Qin Yining has never been like this, as if no matter how much fame he has, in her eyes he is just him.

The more Qin Yining is so loyal to Pang Xiao and unmoved by his overtures, the harder it is for him to let go, the more he loves her, not to mention that she also cares about him and knows that his current situation is tense.

"You and I are friends in need. In Dazhou's territory, there are still many things I can do, so you don't have to be polite to me. As for my affairs... the suppression and jealousy of other aristocratic families towards the Lumen aristocratic family What's missing? I've gotten used to it." Lu Heng smiled wryly.

Qin Yining was also speechless for a while.

When she first came to the capital with her father, a woman from the Lu family could be so domineering. In addition, the Lu family had provided a large amount of funds for Li Qitian's career, and had a close relationship with the royal family. For her, at that time Such a little girl is an unshakable mountain.

Step by step, the Lu family is still so huge. If she didn't know that there was a Qiu family behind her, and a hermit family trying to get closer to the ruling and opposition parties, she might feel that the Lu family family was really the head of all the great families. .

Does Lu Heng know about the hidden family and the manifest family?

Is it only the Qiu family that has that family tradition, or does the Lu family also have it?

Questions hovered in my mind, but I couldn't ask them when I was not sure about the situation.

Qin Yining could only tentatively ask: "Is the situation in the court different from before?"

Lu Heng loves Qin Yining, not to mention there is no one who can openly talk to him, so he naturally nodded and said: "It is indeed different. You may not like to hear it. The most prosperous person in the previous dynasty was Prince Zhongshun. Among the civil servants, the most trusted by the Holy One is your father. But the situation is very different now."

"This is also understandable, the one who is most favored now should be Prince Concubine Ji." Qin Yining purposely refrained from commenting on the minister.

"Yes." Lu Heng nodded, and said with emotion, "Back then in Suongshan, Ji Concubine was credited with insisting on rescuing him. In addition, Ji Concubine defeated the Tatars this time, and the Tatars who beat them bowed their heads and surrendered. His Majesty has suffered a lot, and he himself is a relative of the emperor, so naturally he is most trusted by His Majesty, but as for the status of the Lu family, it is different from before."

Lu Heng took the initiative to talk about his own affairs, "Perhaps the Lu family family has been prosperous for too many years, so it's a big tree to attract the wind. Many old officials in Beiji don't want to see the Lu family now, and even those who have a good relationship with the Lu family will be excluded.

"You also know that the way to use people is like if you can't protect the people around you, they will have opinions."

Qin Yining nodded, followed Lu Heng and sighed softly, but was horrified by the message revealed in Lu Heng's words.

Originally, the two factions that were not against each other, now one of them suddenly turned against the Lu family. Obviously, this was driven by someone behind the scenes. Based on what she knows, the Qiu family is likely to be involved with the veterans of Beiji.

As for Lu Heng's appearance, he didn't seem to know the existence of the Qiu family. He seemed to attribute all the sticking points to the conflict between the aristocratic family and the old ministers.

This is very scary.

The Lu family is an aristocratic family of more than a hundred years, with huge energy and intricate relationships, it will never be weak. However, such a family with deep roots, after showing signs of turning against the veterans of Beiji, did not know that the mother had other secrets. push hands!

Qin Yining really wanted to ask Lu Heng if he knew about the relationship between the hidden family and the manifest family, but he couldn't ask such things.

She couldn't help guessing, is there a rule about the alternation between the revealing family and the hidden family, only the "hidden" one knows, but the "explicit" one doesn't know?

Qin Yining looked pensive.

In Lu Heng's eyes, she looked like she was worried about him.

Come to think of it, even though she had no relationship with him, she really cared about him in her heart and regarded him as a friend.

Lu Heng's whole body seemed to be immersed in a hot spring. He felt warm and comfortable all over his body in winter. If he was not still rational, he would almost go forward to hug Qin Yining.

At this time, a knock on the door suddenly sounded, which shocked the few people who were thinking about each other in the silent night.

Qin Yining stood up suddenly, looked in front of the door defensively, then immediately took off the cloak, turned over and lay down and put on the quilt.

Jing Zhe also ran away, hiding in the shadow of the cabinet.

Lu Heng's face sank, his fists were clenched tightly, his whole body was tense, and he tiptoed to hide behind the curtain in the corner.

Qiu Lu looked at Qin Yining, and seeing that Qin Yining was ready, she loosened her hair, unbuttoned it, deliberately pulled her shoes and walked to the door, and lowered her voice, "Who?"
