play self pity? Acting weak? The concubine Jiaojiao went crazy

Qin Shu got up, changed into clothes that were more convenient for movement, and left directly from Yuehua Palace.

Not to mention Qin Shu's own ability in concealing her whereabouts, just talking about her and Xuanyuan Che's situation, all Xuanyuan Che's informants in the palace, as well as the Blood Shadow Guards in charge of Feng Ying, would not ask about her whereabouts. , she wanted to leave the palace, but it was a very simple thing.

In the middle of Beijing, the residence of Duke Dingguo.

Although their family has lived in Nanxiang City, there are also dedicated people responsible for guarding the mansion in the middle of the capital, and they are all close relatives of the Qin family.

Qin Shu came out of the palace and was not worried about any leaks.

She knew that her eldest brother was probably in his own courtyard at the moment. After entering the mansion, he went straight to her eldest brother's courtyard.

Her eldest brother returned to the capital to report on his duties. Except for a few close servants who followed him, it was impossible for him to lead troops back to the capital. However, they were also extremely vigilant people, so they were stronger than the house guards.

When Qin Shu stepped into her eldest brother's yard, it was obvious that the guards had noticed some movement.

Qin Shu did not hide this. After all, the person who could follow her elder brother could not be someone that the elder brother did not trust.

As for her appearance, all those people appeared, but when these servants saw the people who appeared in front of them, they all looked shocked.

Everyone saluted the person in front of them, "Miss."

Qin Shu asked quietly: "Is eldest brother inside?"

The leader was about to speak when the door on the other side opened, and the person who came out was Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan was full of joy when he saw the visitor, but he still asked, "Little sister, why are you here?"

Qin Shu walked forward and said with a smile: "Of course I came here to see my eldest brother, and then I would have a meal with him, talk, and talk about our daily life. I was in the palace for the past two days. Although the Queen Mother does not need to avoid taboos, but It’s not fun enough after all, now it’s just us brothers and sisters, so we can do as we please, right?”

Qin Chuan looked at Qin Shu steadily, nodded and said: "Yes, little sister is right, but does the emperor know that little sister you came out of the palace to see me like this?"

Qin Shu: "His spies are everywhere in the palace. When I left the palace, I gave them clues and they will naturally report it."

Qin Chuan: "Don't stand outside yet, come in quickly."

Qin Shu followed Qin Chuan into the house.

Qin Chuan went to pour tea for Qin Shu himself and said, "Here, let's drink a cup of hot tea first."

Qin Shu took the hand and said smoothly: "By the way, the second brother and the third brother have already set off for the capital. Has the eldest brother received the news?"

Qin Chuan nodded: "Yes, I received it. I just said that they have arrived and they have their own things to do. Now, they are working for the emperor secretly. They don't have much time on weekdays. During the New Year, they should spend more time with them. Accompanying my father and mother.”

Qin Shu: "Brother, the second brother and the third brother must have the same thoughts as you. It must be the intention of the father and mother to allow the second brother and the third brother to leave for the capital right now. The father and mother know that it is inconvenient for the eldest brother to return to Nanxiangcheng. , it is not suitable for my father and mother to come to the capital at this time. They are worried that the eldest brother will go back to the northwest after the New Year, so they specially asked the second brother and the third brother to come over and want us to get together. "

Qin Chuan said "hmm" and then said: "My little sister came out of the palace to see me today. Maybe she needs to be alone for a while."

Qin Shu: "Brother, is there something wrong?"

Qin Chuan: "I need to see a guest."

Qin Shu met her eldest brother's gaze and instantly read the meaning. At this time, the guest that her eldest brother wanted to meet in the capital was obviously the Minister of War.

"Brother, just go meet me. It's just right. I can go to the kitchen and ask them to prepare lunch. Brother, do you want to keep this guest to have lunch with you?"

Qin Chuan looked at Qin Shu, "No, I'm just catching up with him and saying a few words. There's no need to eat together. When we brothers and sisters eat together, we don't need other guests to be present. But my little sister is here, in the kitchen." There are servants over there to handle it, so I don’t have to keep an eye on it, and I don’t need to stay by myself. Why don’t you just accompany me and listen to what this guest has to say?”

Qin Shu: "If I appeared in front of this guest, I would probably frighten him."

Qin Chuan: "Then don't show up."

Qin Shu held the tea in her hand, took a sip, and said, "Okay, speaking of which, I am also a little curious whether this guest still has the same original intention as when he was under his father's command."

Qin Chuan: "I sent a message to invite him to talk. The servant came back and said that he took the message very happily and agreed very neatly. As for this original intention, you have to see it. Talent can be verified. My younger sister has always been the most delicate and good at discerning people's hearts, so she happened to be able to help my elder brother."

Qin Shu did not refuse. When she was about to speak, a voice came from outside.

"General, the guest you invited has arrived."

Qin Chuan said to the outside: "Invite him to sit in the main hall for a while. I'll be there right away."

The attendant outside responded "yes".

Then, Qin Chuan looked at Qin Shu, "Little sister, then, let's go together?"

Qin Shu put the tea cup in her hand on the small table beside her and stood up, "My eldest brother said so, so it's good."

After saying this, the two brothers and sister came out of this place together and headed towards the main hall.

Of course, Qin Shu did not follow Qin Chuan into the main hall, but walked aside and stayed in a cubicle on one side of the main hall. Separated by a wall, Qin Shu could hear any movement in the main hall with her ears. Chu.

In the main hall, on a seat on one side, a middle-aged man sat upright. This man was Fang Qing, the current Minister of the Ministry of War.

Fang Qing heard footsteps approaching and realized someone was coming. He turned his head and looked over. He saw it was Qin Chuan and immediately stood up from his seat.

"General." Fang Qing called the visitor respectfully.

Qin Chuan looked at Fang Qing and then said: "Master Fang does not need to be like this. The invitation today is just a personal relationship. Speaking of which, Master Fang is still my senior."

Fang Qing: "The general said something serious."

Qin Chuan: "It's just the truth. Okay, let's sit down and talk."

Fang Qing: "Yes."

Qin Chuan said to the attendant next to him: "Serve tea."

Although there are still several attendants in the main hall, Fang Qing knows very well that these are Qin Chuan's confidants, and no matter what they are going to talk about next, it will not be affected.

Soon, the waiter came up with tea.

After the attendants withdrew, Fang Qing was the first to speak, "The general specially sent someone to deliver invitations to the lower house. I wonder why the general is looking for me?"

Qin Chuan: "Why, do you think I can't just want to reminisce with old friends?"

Fang Qing shook his head and replied seriously: "The general returned to Beijing to report on his duties. Although he is currently in Xiu Mu, with the status of the general, even if I am an old friend, if it is just to reminisce about the past, I should not be worthy of the general. .”

Qin Chuan: "You used to be an old man under my father's command, and now you are a minister of the Ministry of War. For an old friend like you, why is it not worthwhile to talk to you about old times? Does Mr. Fang think too low of himself?"

Fang Qing: "It's not that I look down on myself, but the general is extraordinary."

Qin Chuan chuckled lightly and said: "What's unusual? We are all the emperor's ministers. We are the same people, so what's the difference?"

When Fang Qing heard this sentence, he felt something vaguely. Next, he had to get to the point.
