Chapter 28 See Blood Seal Throat
The sister and brother hugged each other and said a lot of warm words. Even Liao's mother, who was serving beside her, couldn't help but shed two tears. How difficult it was for a concubine daughter and a concubine son to live happily in the lieutenant's mansion under the control of Dou Qing'e.
At the same time, the lights of Cuixuan Courtyard have not stopped.
The stars are shining outside, and the lights in Dou Qing'e's room have been shining brightly.
Dou Qing'e put down the letter brought back by Huineng to Qin Yunuan. She frowned tightly and picked up the calming tea on the table, but she put it down. Her mind was uncertain, and her palms were sweating. "No, so, the green willow was still found and let her stay alive in Wan'an Temple, just like a cancer growing on my heart. It makes me uneasy."
"What does Mrs. Yi mean?" Aunt Xiu asked carefully, while removing the hairpin for Dou Qing'e and combing her long hair.
"When I got married, didn't my mother put several masters of the family by my side?" Dou Qing'e's eyes are full of death and murderous spirit. She kills a thousand. You can't let go of one. To do things, you have to be decisive and can't look ahead. "They have been idle for several years, and it's time for them to do activities."
Aunt Xiu nod her head and said, "I will arrange someone to do it immediately."
"But you said Qin Yunuan," Dou Qing's bright pupil became more and more delicate. "She didn't know the details of the green willow. The person sent out to inquire this afternoon said that the whole thing was detected by Leng Changxi, and it was extremely fast and vigorous, but Qin Yunuan was not a fool, let alone There is also a small girl in her yard. She is smart and not terrible. She is afraid that the concubine will also be smart. By the way, do you remember that when Qin Baochuan caught Zhou, he caught a jade version. The fortune tellers said that this boy is auspicious and will be the pillar of the country in the future.
"So what? Now the master is afraid that the second young master is afraid of being tight," Aunt Xiu's tone became deeper and deeper. "Moreover, there is one thing that I want to report to my wife." Aunt Xiu gathered in Dou Qing'e's ear and talked to Dou Qing'e about how Qin Baochuan disliked his ugly clothes and how he said rude words this evening, and then said, "Before, Cui'e went to monitor the second young master, saying that he took a cold shower every day to exercise his mind. From this, it seems that the mud does not support the wall, and the maidservant knows more than 10,000 people. It can be seen that this young master is just an arrogant and comfortable boy in his bones.
"Yes," Dou Qing'e nodded, "a five-year-old child is the time when he is naughty and wants to be spoiled. The more he is, the more beneficial he is to us. Maybe this boy will resent Qin Yunuan because of the cold bath. Aunt Xiu, this is also the place we can use. You let Cui'e continue to watch carefully. With them, three newspapers a day, the master will come back tomorrow. I also gave Lin Feng Xiushu this morning to let him come back quickly. After all, the Qin family is still our world.
"That's right," Dou Qing'e turned her head and said, "The green willow is trapped in the temple, and I don't know if I have put that thing into Qin Yunuan's diet. You send someone to make up some more doses. In short, I want to make sure that tomorrow is foolproof."
Aunt Xiu bowed her head and then said, "Speaking of which, the young master is not in the house all day today. I don't know if he will come back tomorrow."
"He will definitely come back," Dou Qing'e's mood relaxed a lot. "He is the uncle of a senior official and returns home. If his nephew wants to gain a foothold in the capital, he has to rush back to please him. In short, tomorrow, we can watch a good play." Dou Qing'e smiled at herself, who was still pollen crow in the bronze mirror, as if she had inhaled her first breath after holding it for a long time in the water. Before she was old, the Qin family would still have the final say.
In the early morning of the second day, there were already beating gongs and drums outside, and all the alleys were empty. The wine flags attracting guests on the street fluttered freely. People welcomed the eldest prince Sima Ruo, who returned from the south on the east street, and Lieutenant Qin, who accompanied him.
The golden BMW, the flag is flying, and the 200-person southern patrol team is lined up in two rows, stretching from the street to the end of the street. Because it has been resting for a day in the suburbs of Beijing, the people in the team are energetic, tall horses, and faintly, with the courage of the emperor's patrol three years ago.
On one side is East Street, which is as lively as a pot of boiling water, and on the other side, there is Leng Changxi, which is as gloomy as night. He is sitting on the window on the third floor of the first floor of the capital. Leng Changxi's slender fingers rubbed the alfalfa flowers carved on the window lattice. Looking down, you can see the panoramic view of East Street.
His eyes were like a hunting eagle waiting for the prey to appear. The open window ushered in a cold hunting wind. The wine on the table was blown cold by the north wind, but Leng Changxi did not raise his eyelids and poured wine into his throat.
"General, cold wine hurts your stomach. Let me warm up a pot for you." Leng Wu arched his hand.
Leng Changxi turned his head slightly, and his voice was as cold as a spring in the winter forest. "Cold wine makes people wake up, and warm things make people addicted." After saying that, he quickly waved his sleeve, stroked off a word "warm" written in water on the table, and asked in a low voice, "How about it?" Have you caught it?"
"I caught it," Leng Wu only pretended not to see Leng Changxi's small movements. "The three remnants of Dongqin who wanted to continue to assassinate the eldest prince and Qin have all been captured. The general was really as expected. He laid a probe on East Street in advance and took it down before they took it down, and avoided alarming the people and colliding. The eldest prince, "
Leng Changxi didn't say anything, but moved his eyes to the distance. "What about the situation of Wan'an Temple?"
Leng Wu clenched his fist again, "Although the assassin who came to assassinated last night was caught, he bit his tongue and killed himself when he finally asked. Fortunately, the green willow has been placed in a safe place in advance and was not hurt. As for Hui'an, although we strictly guarded him and tied his hands and feet to prevent him from suicide, we didn't expect that he In the end, the operation triggered internal force, broke through the dead hole, and died violently.
"It seems that he is a dead man or a dead man with good internal strength," Leng Changxi half rested in his chair. "Xue Si has fought with one of them. According to his description, it should be a force privately cultivated by the four major families in the south. Yangzhou Shangguan, the Dou family in Hangzhou, the Zhenyuan Houfu and Cui family in Baling City all went to investigate. ."
Leng Wu honestly took the order to go out, and Leng Changxi poured himself a cup of cold pear white. The long etiquette team had passed by the window, and the hustle and bustle gradually dissipated. Leng Changxi was obviously not a nosy person, but now he worked hard for a little girl's affairs. In the end, people were still afraid of him. Three points in defense.
Leng Changxi's mouth was helpless. A cup of wine entered his throat, and the cool smell made him not drunk, but more sober.
"General, Xue Si is already waiting outside the door."
"I know." Leng Changxi retired the informer and straightened out his clothes. It seemed that he should also leave.
The first thing the eldest prince Sima Ruo and the imperial lieutenant Qin Zhi returned to Beijing was to go to the palace to visit the current emperor and come back at noon, while the Qin family was already busy.
Dou Qing'e had already received the news that her master was in danger during the southern tour. Because he sprained his arm with a knife for the eldest prince, the emperor intended to award him. Once the title is awarded, the status of the Qin family will be straight up. The gap between the minister and the hereditary title is clear to hereditary title. Moreover, this title is hereditary, and her master is only the eldest son like Qin Linfeng. Counting this, Dou Qing'e is the biggest beneficiary.
She never did anything unprepared. She had already asked her sisters to find out. Just last night, the emperor even wrote the imperial edict and took it to the patriarch's mansion for registration, which means that as long as the master sees the emperor today and adds the title, it is a real lord.
"Madam, madam, the master's sedan chair has arrived at the entrance of the alley."
"Quickly, let Ye San set off the firecrackers," Dou Qing'e took the lead and rushed to the front door with her skirt. On the way, she cautiously asked Aunt Xiu, "Are you sure you scattered five stones in Qin Yunuan's rice porridge?"
"It's all put in, madam, don't worry." Aunt Xiu nod her head.
Very good. Now, no matter whether Qin Yunuan recognizes the scheme she arranged in Wan'an Temple or not, after today, the names of Qin Yunuan and Qin Baochuan will disappear from the genealogy of the Qin family. After that, even the master's Pingbu Qingyun, her son also came back, and Yunzhuang's face is also getting better, and no longer There will be any force that can prevent him from becoming the master of the Qin family.
At the entrance of the alley, 24 firecrackers sounded in unison, and a burst of blue smoke sounded. A four-person sedan chair staggered out of the smoke. The sedan chair was already choked and coughed. Before the sedan chair was stable, Qin Zhi directly lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and came out.
Qin's body is in his early 40s, and his body is getting thinner and thinner because of his hard work. His original handsome cheeks also have a dusty smell. Coupled with a curved purple brocade robe, it seems that Qin Zhi is not so energetic in happy events, but a little depressed and decadent.
"What is this doing?" Qin Zhi covered his mouth and nose, dodged the diffuse smoke, and shouted at Dou Qing'e, "It's not an auspicious day, and there is no big deal in the house. The sudden salute is really..." Qin Zhi frowned and shook his head repeatedly, and his expression was mixed with unconcealed loneliness, but he had been holding on. Qin Zhi didn't matter anything, but his face and reputation were the most important. Even if he lost what he was about to get, he could not lose his backbone in front of outsiders.
Dou Qing'e's brain was already mostly stunned at this time, but she still smiled shyly and said, "This is not a happy event for the master. She has been awarded the title, and my concubine also wants to congratulate the master."
It's okay not to mention this. When it mention this, Qin Zhi's face suddenly condensed into ice. His eyes were like a firecracker that was about to be lit, staring at Dou Qing'e for a long time. "How can you, a woman, speculate? All emperors have their own judgments of rewards and punishments. Why do you have to worry about it? Without saying anything, he shook his sleeves and entered the door without looking back.
Dou Qing'e suddenly seemed to be nailed to the same place. What does the master mean? Is it possible that the title has been ruined?
