Qiu Xin takes Liu Ninghuan to see Shi Chan.
On the way, Qiu Xin suddenly said, "Is the princess sick?"
Liu Ninghuan asked in surprise, "Why do you say that?"
Qiu Xin said: "I seem to smell the fragrance of medicinal juice on the princess's body."
Liu Ninghuan was taken aback for a moment, and then cursed secretly in his heart: Is the dog's nose so clever?
She just kissed Qing Ling and swallowed a mouthful of medicine for Qing Ling.
Liu Ninghuan said calmly: "I smelled it wrong, it's the fragrance of flowers wafting from the wall of this family."
Qiu Xin smiled softly, but did not speak.
Qiu Xin did not bring Liu Ninghuan to Yangcui Tower, but to Qiu Mansion.Liu Ninghuan looked at her suspiciously. Qiu Xin spread his hands and said, "Safety comes first. Since the princess made a speech in the court, many people have paid attention to you. Go to Yangcui Tower at this time, Those who are interested will have associations. And I am your deputy, so I am not so eye-catching when I come to my house to discuss countermeasures."
Qiu Xin took Liu Ninghuan to the door of a deep wing room.She knocked on the door and was about to back off.
Liu Ninghuan glanced at her, Qiu Xin said: "When you sisters meet, there must be something important to talk about, so I won't go in."
Liu Ninghuan couldn't help but said, "Then you were still there last time."
Qiu Xin looked at her with an innocent expression and said, "So the princess wants to take me to meet my family? I don't mind."
As he said that, Qiu Xin really turned around, as if he wanted to follow in.
At the end of the corridor, a hale and hearty middle-aged man said, "Xin'er."
That should be Qiu Xin's father, the current Prime Minister Qiu.
Qiu Xin respectfully explained to him: "Father, I was just playing around with the princess." After finishing speaking, he stopped teasing Liu Ninghuan, and hurriedly walked towards Prime Minister Qiu.
She looks terrified of her father.
Prime Minister Qiu nodded at Liu Ninghuan, and left with Qiu Xin.
Liu Ninghuan pushed the door open until he could no longer see their backs.
The light in the room was not good, so a weak candle was lit, which created an atmosphere of conspiracy.
"Cousin," Liu Ninghuan paused, his eyes fell on the crutches, and he asked in surprise, "Why do you..."
Shi Tan smiled and lifted up a corner of her skirt, revealing her calf covered with plaster, and said, "Last time, I was plotted against and suffered a little injury."
The last time...was it the time when Shi Qian came to the capital to see him, and when he returned, he was injured because of his whereabouts?
Shi Chan said: "I was careless, and it's none of your business. Don't show such an expression. Come and sit down, I also brought your favorite pastries."
The more tolerant Shi Qian is, the more guilty Liu Ninghuan feels.If he didn't bring Qingling there, wouldn't Shi Tan be hurt?
She only wanted to help Qingling complete the task, but never thought that it would hurt others.
She took Pingzhen's failure to seize the throne as an established reality, so she broke the jar.
Liu Ninghuan didn't dare to look at her with her head down, so she sat down at the table and said, "Then you still come here today..."
She lowered her head and unconsciously saw the plate of pastries on the table.It was a specialty of Yangcuilou. Last time she ate two extra yuan, and because she thought it was delicious, she packed it up and took it away.
She didn't expect Shi Tan to notice it, not only noticed it, but also sent someone to buy it at this time.
Liu Ninghuan felt a sense of long-lost family affection, and said with an indistinct cry, "Yangcui Tower is in the capital, wouldn't I go and buy it myself..."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Liu Ninghuan realized that he had made a mistake.She obviously wanted to say thank you, but she complained about being willful in such a way... In the end, it is not a good habit to be arrogant in a family relationship.
Shi Tan didn't care, just said: "I heard that there is an assassin in Chunshou, and I am worried that you will be injured. The spy doesn't know the specific situation, so I came here as soon as I was in a hurry. But don't worry, I'm supposed to be" outside the capital now Rest in a small village, and you will be able to 'go to Beijing' tomorrow."
Liu Ninghuan nodded and said, "I'm fine."
Shi Tan said: "I heard from Qiu Xin that you volunteered to investigate the assassin's affairs? Why did you come forward? What happened?"
Shi Tan's attitude was very gentle. Although Liu Ninghuan's behavior was beyond her expectations, she did not directly criticize, but asked why.
Liu Ninghuan paused, and said: "The assassins appeared in three places, at least two groups of people. In the first place, they injured Zhao Zhan, Zhao Zhan was poisoned and unconscious, and he is still lying in the palace. The second place and The third happened in the same place, and I was there. Their targets and characters are completely different. Although they don't interfere with each other, they seem to be quite in harmony with each other. They should know each other's existence. The gang that assassinated Zhao Zhan People, not sure if they are the same group of people."
Liu Ninghuan explained all the suspicious points that day, including the Han Chinese who pretended to be Altai people, the different weapons, what Ye You said, and the things that Ye You should not have been poisoned.
Shi Tan listened very carefully, and after listening, she tapped the table with her knuckles and said, "There are indeed doubts."
Shi Tan said: "Although Ye You is just a small servant of the household department, because of his special official position, he has many people's handles. Even the Shi family is not surprised. The Shi family has dealt with him before, and he is very cautious. They do not flatter or offend others, so they are regarded as "clear people". Although this kind of clean people are unlikely to be promoted, but no one specifically targets them. That group of people chasing and killing him should have something to do with the "evidence" he said. You have to find This is an opportunity to obtain evidence. No matter who wants to do something to Ye You, it means that the evidence is fatal to him."
Liu Ninghuan nodded, which coincided with her thoughts.
Shi Tan added: "The person who chased and killed Ye You pretended to be from Altai, which shows two things. First, he wanted to make Ye You's incident an 'accident', and he didn't want people to notice the secret Ye You held. ; Second, he has contact with the Altai people, otherwise he would not know that the other party will appear on this day and this place. After Jelle became the new king, there have been constant frictions on the border, and perhaps a war is really about to break out. If we can find out this The mastermind behind the scenes, maybe the capital city is about to change..."
One word awakened the dreamer, Liu Ninghuan felt that what Shi Tan said was very reasonable, why didn't he see such an obvious thing?Fortunately, there is Shi Chan, and fortunately, Shi Chan can be trusted.
"As for Zhao Zhan..." Shi Tan smiled and said, "Since someone wants to associate the mastermind behind the Ye You incident with the person who assassinated Zhao Zhan, it just means that they are not the same group of people. The person who assassinated Zhao Zhan People, maybe they are really Altai people?"
Shi Qian was unhurried, and Liu Ning was delighted and convinced when he heard it.This way, the matter is much clearer... Thanks to my stupid thinking for so long, I have summed up a list of questions, which is like an interview outline.
Liu Ninghuan looked at Shi Qian's calm face, and said involuntarily, "Cousin, you are so kind. Even if something happens to me, I won't let it happen to you."
Shi Tan was amused, and said, "We are two grasshoppers on the same rope. If something happens to you, will I still be able to escape? Stupid."
Liu Ninghuan lowered her head hastily, she suddenly had a thought, if she didn't fight for the throne, would she and Shi Tan have different results?
But as soon as this idea came up, she was dismissed by herself.She knows Zhao Zhan's character best. A person who killed all his brothers and sisters after ascending the throne can expect her to be kind?This is the hole Liu Ninghuan dug by herself, she really wanted to beat herself up a few months ago!
Is there a way to keep Shi Qian alive?Can I protect a person from Zhao Zhan?Or...is it possible for him to defeat Zhao Zhan?
After thinking about it, Liu Ninghuan felt that this was something that would take time to plan, so she had to put it aside for the time being and focus on the assassin incident in front of her.
She said: "In this case, I really want to interrogate the assassins I caught last time. Qiu Xin was right..."
Because she knew the setting, Liu Ninghuan always didn't trust Qiu Xin.It turned out that the advice given by the other party was quite reliable.
Shi Tan looked at Liu Ninghuan's thoughtful profile, and suddenly asked, "What do you think of Qiu Xin?"
Liu Ninghuan said, "How about what?"
"She seems to like you very much. I said I wanted to buy you some snacks, so she went to Yangcui Building and bought this herself." Shi Qian pouted at the pastries on the table and said, "If you like her, you can accept it." It's not impossible."
Liu Ninghuan's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "Cousin, what are you talking about! We're discussing business now!"
Shi Tan just smiled, made a gesture of surrender, and said, "Okay, okay, business is business. Do you have any other ideas?"
Liu Ninghuan hesitated for a moment, but still spoke out her thoughts. "Do you think the man behind Ye You...is Zhao Zhan?"
"Oh?" Shi Tan didn't show any surprise, and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Liu Ninghuan said, "Intuition."
It is indeed intuition, but there is also a little basis.In the later stage of the plot, Zhao Zhan also tried his own life to achieve a certain goal.Although it hasn't reached that time yet, Zhao Zhan is indeed someone who can do such a thing. "
"If Zhao Zhan is behind the scenes, it means that she knows that the Altai people are coming to kidnap the hostage. If our previous speculation is correct, that is to say, the kidnapper and the assassin Zhao Zhan are the same group. It also means that she knows she will get hurt." Shi Tan said, "It's not impossible, but I can't figure out why she did it."
Liu Ninghuan shook his head and said, "I can't figure it out either...just think I'm thinking about it."
But Shi Tan asked back: "Since you have this idea, why don't you confirm it? Anyway, you are leading the investigation now."
Liu Ninghuan could tell that Shi Tan didn't particularly agree with her analysis, but he didn't suppress or deny her, but let her prove it herself.
This is really...
Liu Ninghuan made up his mind.
After talking about this, it was already dark.
Liu Ninghuan looked at the sky outside the window, and asked Shi Chan, "Cousin, are you staying in the capital tonight?"
Shi Tan said: "My caravan will go to Beijing tomorrow, and many people will be watching, so I must show up. Don't rush this moment, see you tomorrow."
Shi Tan patted Liu Ninghuan on the shoulder and said, "Let Qiu Xin take you back."
Liu Ninghuan worried: "But your legs..."
Shi Tan said: "Since I can come in, I can go out naturally. It was an accident last time, so don't blame yourself too much. I will take care of myself. You can go back. Oh, by the way, bring some pastries. Didn't eat much."
After Shi Tan said so, and Qiu Xin knocked on the door outside, Liu Ninghuan had no choice but to leave reluctantly.
On the empty street, Liu Ninghuan was thinking thoughtfully, carrying a food box.
Qiu Xin took off his cloak and put it on Liu Ninghuan's shoulders.
Liu Ninghuan looked at Qiu Xin silently.
Qiu Xin pinched her face and said, "What is the princess looking at me for? I would really misunderstand."
Liu Ninghuan said: "I was thinking, why are you on my side."
In fact, what Liu Ninghuan really wanted to ask was, are you really on my side?
Qiu Xin is a treacherous minister unparalleled in the world.The so-called treacherous officials are long-sleeved, good at dancing, and sweet words.In the settings, Qiu Xin is personable and has good friends with almost everyone in the court, even if they sell the person, the other party will count the money for her.
Liu Ninghuan was afraid, she was also the one who counted the money for Qiu Xin.
Qiu Xin smiled and said, "It's not that I'm on the side of the princess, but my father is on the side of the princess. Since I'm part of the Qiu family, I naturally go forward and retreat with the family."
Liu Ninghuan's heart moved, and he said, "You don't actually believe me, do you?"
Qiu Xin sighed sadly and said: "If the princess can be a little smarter, maybe I will really stand by your side."
Hearing this sentence, Liu Ninghuan was taken aback for a moment, but then laughed.
She was worried about Qiu Xin's hypocrisy before, but the conversation was open and honest enough, and Liu Ninghuan herself felt that Qiu Xin was very reasonable.
Judging from his own performance during this period, what reason does Qiu Xin have for not taking refuge in Zhao Zhan?
And Qiu Xin said it so bluntly to himself, he almost said directly "I actually support Zhao Zhan", which is also a different kind of trust.
Liu Ninghuan exhaled heavily, and for some reason became relaxed.
Liu Ninghuan said, "I'll try."
Qiu Xin said, "Let's go."
Afterwards, the atmosphere between the two of them eased a lot. Qiu Xin didn't say those weird and ambiguous words anymore, and turned into the romantic and treacherous prime minister in the setting, who made everyone feel like a spring breeze.Liu Ninghuan couldn't help guessing that Qiu Xin just said that on purpose because he couldn't find a topic to talk about.
Qiu Xin is funny and humorous, and when he doesn't deliberately cross the line, he is a good conversation partner.When he was about to reach the gate of the Princess Mansion, Liu Ninghuan almost thought that he and the other party were friends.
Turning another corner, I arrived at the Princess Mansion, but Qiu Xin stopped, and said with a smile in his eyes: "I can only send it here."
Liu Ninghuan raised his eyes and saw a white figure standing at the corner, holding a lantern.
It's Qingling.
Liu Ninghuan suddenly remembered that the first time she stayed at Yanguang's place for the night, Qingling stood at the door and waited all night like this.
Liu Ninghuan immediately ran over and said worriedly, "Why did you come out? It was windy at night, and you were injured..."
Qingling looked at Qiu Xin from a distance, and asked in a low voice, "I thought the princess wouldn't come back."
Liu Ninghuan was a little embarrassed, and said, "I'm back, haven't I?"
Qingling asked again: "Where did the princess go?"
The tone was so gentle that Liu Ninghuan almost blurted out the truth.
But she thought of Shi Chan, of Shi Chan's plaster leg, and of Qing Ling's purpose for asking this question...
Liu Ninghuan said awkwardly, "Nothing."
Qiu Xin took a few steps forward and said, "Princess, can you return the cloak to me?"
Liu Ninghuan suddenly realized, quickly took off the cloak and handed it over.
Qiu Xin put it on and said with a smile, "It's very warm."
In the night, Liu Ninghuan could not see Qing Ling's expression.I don't know if it was because he took off his cloak, but Liu Ninghuan suddenly felt cold.
Qiu Xin waved his hand and said, "Then I'll go back first, see you tomorrow, princess."
"Hey, wait." Liu Ninghuan stopped Qiu Xin, then passed the lantern in Qingling's hand, and said, "You go alone, be careful."
Qing Ling's hands were empty, and she felt that something was out of control.
Liu Ninghuan forced the lantern into her hand before, but now he snatched the lantern from her hand and stuffed it to someone else.
Something went wrong.
Qingling pursed her lips, and held Liu Ninghuan's hand without saying a word.Liu Ninghuan struggled a bit, but Qingling held her tightly, refusing to let go.
Liu Ninghuan hissed and said, "It hurts so much, let go."
Qingling was stunned for a moment, she was hesitating whether to let go.Does Liu Ninghuan really like domineering and active women?But I seem to hurt her...
Liu Ninghuan pulled her hand away, and wrapped it around Qingling's hand again.Liu Ninghuan said: "Your hands are so cold, you must have waited for a long time."
A warm current spread from the back of the hand and flowed to the limbs.Qing Ling felt her body numb and had the illusion that she was poisoned.
Qingling said in a low voice, "Well... the princess is so warm."
On the way, Qiu Xin suddenly said, "Is the princess sick?"
Liu Ninghuan asked in surprise, "Why do you say that?"
Qiu Xin said: "I seem to smell the fragrance of medicinal juice on the princess's body."
Liu Ninghuan was taken aback for a moment, and then cursed secretly in his heart: Is the dog's nose so clever?
She just kissed Qing Ling and swallowed a mouthful of medicine for Qing Ling.
Liu Ninghuan said calmly: "I smelled it wrong, it's the fragrance of flowers wafting from the wall of this family."

Qingling was stunned for a moment, she was hesitating whether to let go.Does Liu Ninghuan really like domineering and active women?But I seem to hurt her...
Liu Ninghuan pulled her hand away, and wrapped it around Qingling's hand again.Liu Ninghuan said: "Your hands are so cold, you must have waited for a long time."
A warm current spread from the back of the hand and flowed to the limbs.Qing Ling felt her body numb and had the illusion that she was poisoned.
Qingling said in a low voice, "Well... the princess is so warm."
