Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

what the eye sees is what counts

Seeing that Qi Yan was silent, Qian Yuan felt anxious: "Master?"

Qi Yan: "Go and wait for me outside the door first."

Qian Yuan: "Yes."

Xiaodie opened her ignorant eyes and looked at Qi Yan curiously: "Brother, what's wrong?"

Qi Yan suppressed the uneasiness in her eyes, touched the top of Xiaodie's head and said softly: "Will Xiaodie play a game with brother? If Xiaodie wins, brother will allow you to raise rabbits."

Xiaodie suddenly became interested, her eyes sparkled: "Okay!"

Qi Yan raised her hand and wiped the sauce from Xiaodie's lips with her thumb, and coaxed: "In a while, Xiaodie will sleep. After waking up, don't talk until my brother takes it and tells you that Xiaodie won. Only then can you speak. Brother may send some people to talk to Xiaodie about something strange, to test whether Xiaodie can bear it."

Xiaodie pursed her lips and "hummed", Qi Yan's eyes trembled and turned red.

Qi Yan: "Does Xiaodie want a little rabbit?"

Xiaodie: "I will definitely win!"

Qi Yan: "Sister..."

Fluttershy: "Huh?"

Qi Yan: "If, I mean...if the totem on my brother's chest disappears, will Xiaodie still remember her brother?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Xiaodie's eyes, as if she didn't understand how the totem "disappeared" when it was in good condition, but she still said firmly: "Yes!"

Qi Yan lowered her head, sniffed, suppressed the trembling in her voice, took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom and took out a pill: "Take this candy and sleep, and when you wake up... remember , as long as my brother didn't say you won, you are not allowed to talk anymore."

……

Xiao Die fell asleep, this is a powerful perspiration medicine that Qi Yan asked Ding You to prepare, after taking it, it will at least keep her safe overnight.

Qi Yan pulled the quilt for Xiaodie, and walked out of the room quickly.

Qian Yuan hurriedly spun around the door, saw Qi Yan coming out and hurriedly greeted him: "Master!"

Qi Yan untied the jade pendant from Gongyang Huai from his waist, and handed it to Qian Yuan: "You ride a fast horse to the princess mansion, if you encounter obstacles, just show this jade pendant."

Qian Yuan took it with both hands: "Seeing His Royal Highness Zhenzhen, what should I say to the servant?"

Qi Yan took a deep breath: "Let her save me."

Qian Yuan: "Yes!"

Qian Yuan rushed out from the back door, at the same time the twenty imperial guards had already divided into two groups, a group of people went to the consort's mansion to invite Qi Yan, and the other ten came to the front of the private house.

"Bang bang bang" This team of imperial guards belonged directly to Nangong Rang, they didn't pay much attention to the little son-in-law, they smashed the door with a knife handle without even buckling the door knocker.

"Open the door and search according to order!"

Hearing this, the porter in the courtyard knelt down on the ground with frightened knees, and stretched out his trembling hand to open the door for the guards. His fingers were already on the latch and he thought that he was a house slave who had signed a death contract. Even if the family suffers, he can't run away either, so he puts his hand down again.

He just lay down on the side and huddled in a corner, pretending not to hear.

The guards outside the door looked at each other. One of the guards pulled out his saber without hesitation and inserted it through the crack of the door. don't open.

It's a pity that the former owner of this private house was the mansion of Xie An, the richest gentry in the capital. According to the private standards stipulated by the imperial court, all the materials in this house are the best. The layer of ordinary veneer is made of iron pear wood, which is known as: not afraid of fire, not afraid of water, as hard as iron.

The guards outside the door also quickly discovered that there was something wrong with the door latch, and even with the strength of the two of them, it didn't budge.

Guard: "Boss, what should we do?"

The head guard ordered: "The four of you go around to the back door to try, and the two of you go find a ladder."

Guard: "Yes!"

Fortunately, Nangong Rang only ordered to arrest people and not to kill people. These guards were polite considering that Qi Yan had a third-rank official position and was Princess Zhenzhen's son-in-law.

The son-in-law's mansion is not far from the princess' mansion, only three streets away.

Qian Yuan jumped off his horse and stumbled into the princess mansion. The mansion soldiers raised their spears and shouted, "Who is that!"

Qian Yuan took out the jade pendant Qi Yan gave him: "The villain is from the son-in-law's mansion, please see His Highness Zhen Zhen for urgent matters!"

The government soldiers looked at each other, and one of them took the jade pendant: "Wait!"

Qiu Ju came outside the study and asked for instructions: "Your Highness, the housekeeper of the private house is asking to see you." After thinking for a while, she added: "Bring the jade pendant of the son-in-law."

Nangong Jingnv put down the brush in her hand when she heard the words, she was copying the new book that Qi Yan gave her a few days ago.

Nangong Jingnu: "Take him to the side hall and wait, I'll be right here."

Qiu Ju: "Yes."

As soon as the two entered the side hall, Qian Yuan rushed forward and knelt down in front of Nangong Jingnu: "Your Highness!"

Nangong Jingnv glanced around: "You all go down."

Maid: "Yes."

Qian Yuan kowtowed like garlic when everyone was gone: "Your Highness, my son-in-law, please go and save him quickly!"

Nangong Jingnu: "What happened?"

Where does Qian Yuan dare to say?It only said that a team of guards went to the private house to fetch people, Qi Yan was already blocked in the mansion and could not get out, so he handed the jade pendant to him and asked him to come to the princess mansion to rescue soldiers.

Nangong Jingnv bit her lip, and there were countless guesses in her mind, but she couldn't figure out what the big deal would be, to be able to work for her father, who had been bedridden and speechless, to go over her and directly grab someone.And with Qi Yan's personality: unless it is very critical, she will not use this method to seek herself.

Nangong Jingnv was silent for about a few breaths and ordered calmly: "Qiu Ju, order someone to lead a fast horse and pick a few teams of loyal government soldiers to guard every main road entering the palace. If you see guards guarding Horses and chariots entering the palace must be stopped by this palace!"

Qiu Ju: "Yes!"

Nangong Jingnv held the jade pendant and said to Qian Yuan, "Why don't you lead the way quickly?"

Qian Yuan: "Yes!"

Nangong Jingnv had been to Qi Yan's private house twice, and the nearest palace gate was the South Gate if she entered the palace from there.

Since there was a possibility of losing, Nangong Jingnv simply chose to rush to the private house to save others.

She guessed: Qi Yan might have accidentally made a mistake during disaster relief and was exposed by someone, but Nangong Jingnv firmly believed that Qi Yan was definitely not a person who bent the law for personal gain, and there must be a misunderstanding.

She had to see Qi Yan before the guards took him away, even if she couldn't save him, she could still delay for half an hour with her status.

I can use this time to ask the reason of the matter clearly, or simply accompany Qi Yan to the palace to face the saint.

As long as Qi Yan is not "convicted" in writing, Nangong Jingnu will be able to save him!

Nangong Jingnv hadn't ridden a horse for a long time since she was frightened during the last hunt, but now she followed Qian Yuan closely, waving her whip constantly.

The biting cold wind made people unable to keep their eyes open, and it sliced ​​across Nangong Jingnv's delicate cheeks like a knife.

She didn't care about that much at all, and even completely ignored the psychological shadow left by the falling horse, she just wanted to go faster, faster.

Qi Yan vaguely heard the knocking sound from the back door, she counted the time, and then looked at the sleeping Xiaodie who slowly stood up.

This day had long been expected by her, but she never thought it would come so soon...

She has already thought of all the countermeasures...

As long as I have a place in Nangong Jingnv's heart, I can save myself from danger this time, but...

A thick layer of snow had accumulated in the backyard, which was rarely visited by people. Qi Yan felt a little dazed when he heard the "creaking" sound coming from time to time.

How much did she think that everything that had happened in the past 12 years was just a dream?

She couldn't remember how many times when she dreamed back at midnight, she endured the pain in her heart and told herself: This is the last time to use Nangong Jingnv.

Things have evolved to the point where they have deviated from her plan.

……

Qi Yan let out a long sigh, quickened his pace and walked to the front yard.

……

Qi Yan sat on the main seat and ordered: "Order to open the main door, and invite the adults outside to come in."

The servant took orders and went, not even daring to answer.

Outside the private house, the imperial guards had already set up the ladder on the wall, and they only waited for an order before storming in. Unexpectedly, the main door was opened from the inside.

The servant knelt down in front of a guard: "Masters, my master has an invitation."

The captain of the guard didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Qi Yan's gourd, but the other party's third-rank official residence was also a relative of the emperor, so if he was willing to cooperate, he would be more polite.

He ordered people to put away the ladder, and called back the guard who hit the back door. After reorganizing the team, he entered the private house under the leadership of the servant.

The servant: "Master, some servants are here."

Qi Yan put down the teacup in his hand, still sat on the main seat, and said slowly: "Your lords come to my private house, what's your business?"

The captain of the guard took a step forward, held his saber and cupped his hands to Qi Yan: "My son-in-law, Your Majesty ordered you to go to the inner court for questioning."

Qi Yan was silent for a moment, her amber eyes were full of loneliness, she looked at the captain of the guard and seemed to look elsewhere through him: "Can you tell me the reason?"

The tone was still unhurried, even a little slow, even at the last moment, Qi Yan still believed that Nangong Jingnv would come.

She was dragging her time, but she gave the other party the feeling that she was at peace with everything, with a clear conscience. The captain of the guard weighed it up secretly, and his tone became more polite: "My lord, please don't be embarrassing. We are only carrying out the emperor's orders. What is the specific matter? The son-in-law will know as soon as he goes."

Qi Yan showed a warm smile, came to the captain of the guards, glanced at one of the guards, he was holding a shackle in his hand.

"Shall I be handcuffed?"

The captain of the guard sneered: "Since the son-in-law is willing to cooperate, there is no need for these things."

Qi Yan took the initiative to stretch out her hand: "I don't want to embarrass you, so let me be handcuffed."

The captain of the guard sighed lightly: "So... I'm sorry for the son-in-law."

Qi Yan was handcuffed out of the main hall, and Nangong Jingnv just arrived after walking not far away.

Qi Yan's heart relaxed, but she lowered her head.

The timing was just right, everything was just right, and this time he narrowly won again.

But she was a little afraid to face Nangong Jingnv, because even this shackle...was her move to design Nangong Jingnv.

This scene fell in the eyes of Nangong Jingnu, it was a different feeling, she only saw Qi Yan's helplessness, and the extremely glaring shackles on his wrists.

Nangong Jingnv came over with strides: "Why do you treat my son-in-law like this?"

All the guards knelt down one after another: "See Your Highness Zhen Zhen!"
