I returned to the small yard with a heavy heart. As soon as I entered the yard, I heard a burst of children laughing. It was Xiaoxiao laughing inside. The child's voice was crisp and sweet, which made me feel better.

I walked to the door and saw Xue Muhua sitting cross-legged on the ground holding Xiaoxiao, rubbing her legs upwards, as if she wanted to stand up and jump around, but she was still too young, and her fat and short legs could not fully support the weight of her body, so she could only jump in her mother's arms.

Xue Muhua's thin arms actually supported her, not relaxing at all.

Being a mother is strong.

As she smiled and made a fuss, she seemed to feel something. When she turned around, she saw me standing at the door. She immediately smiled and said, "Miss Yan, you are back."

"Well," I took off my shoes and walked in. She put Xiaoxiao back on the ground. I immediately crawled towards me like a vibrant puppy. I hurriedly squatted down to catch her, picked her up and shook her: "Oh, Xiaoxiao is so powerful, Xiaoxiao is so strong."

The child also giggled in my arms, and the two dimples on the corners of his mouth looked particularly sweet.

Xue Muhua then rubbed his sore arms: "Hey, this kid has been making a fuss for a long time, and I can't hold on."

I smiled, then looked around: "Where is Mr. Pei?"

"He is still doing his business outside, and he has to train troops every day. He will go there in person and will not be at home for at least half a day."

"Oh, you are usually alone."

"Not that, there's still a little girl."

As she said, she moved over and reached out to tease Xiaoxiao, with no loneliness on her face, but instead she looked extremely happy.

If Huang Tianba met her like this at that time, if two of them could have a child...

I thought about this uncontrollably again, and suddenly a soreness rushed up suddenly, even my eyes turned red. Xue Muhua looked up at me and said, "Miss Yan, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Oh, I, I'm fine."

I waved my hand in a hoarse voice: "Maybe, it's a little cold outside, it's okay now."

"Oh, that's good. If you feel uncomfortable, you have to tell us, don't get sick."

"I'm fine." I smiled and asked again, "By the way, where is Qinghan?"

"Young Master Liu? He seems to have gone back to the room over there."

"I'll go find him."

After saying that, I sent Xiaoxiao back to her mother's arms, got up and walked towards the room on the other side.

When I walked over, I saw that the door was hidden and there was no sound inside. I carefully pushed the door in and saw Qinghan leaning against the head of the bed and falling asleep again.

He is so tired...?

I walked over gently and saw that his face was not very good, especially his lips were very white and bloodless. When I lowered my head and fell asleep, a wisp of hair fell down from my forehead, which was slightly trembling by his long breath, which made him look particularly fragile.

I couldn't bear to disturb me, so I quietly walked to the side and sat down, trying to wait for him to wake up, but as soon as I sat down, the shorter next to me was touched by me, and he immediately opened his eyes: "Hmm?"

I hurriedly said, "Are you awake?"

He raised his head and looked at me in chaos, hesitated for a moment before coming to his senses: "Qingying, are you back?"

"Yeah," I walked over: "You're asleep again, are you tired?"

"I, I don't know. I was sitting here waiting for you, but before I knew it—" He reached out and touched his neck. He just sat down and slept with his head down. He must be not very good for his neck. He twisted his neck and woke up a little. He immediately asked me: "You went over to talk to Concubine Ning, how are you doing? Is there any new news?"

I sat at his feet and told him all the words Yang Jinqiao told me just now.

Qinghan listened quietly, and his brows gradually frowned.

When I finished speaking, his face had become a little gloomy: "Someone assassinated them?"

"Yes, if she hadn't brought her men into Xichuan and fought hard to protect them, I'm afraid they would have been killed this time - even if they were not killed, it would have been a minor matter to be disturbed."

"Of course it's not a small matter, it's a big matter!"

His breath became a little uneven: "The emperor's nature is very clear. He could not believe in a person 100%, let alone the people of Xichuan, and not to mention that at this time, not to mention that the prince is now in the case."

“…”

"Not to mention whether the assassination was successful, just because this happened, his steps might stop here."

I frowned: "Concubine Ning said that she had sent the message out, and she would wait for the emperor here. After the emperor came, she would tell him everything that happened after entering Sichuan."

Qinghan thought for a while and said, "This Concubine Ning looks like a very calm person."

"In the past, when I was a palace maid from Shangyang Palace, she helped me a lot."

"Can she—"

"You know, it's impossible." I sighed: "After all, she is the emperor's concubine, so she still has to make plans for the emperor's safety at this time. Even if I see it, it may not be a good thing for the emperor to enter Xichuan rashly."

Qinghan thought in silence for a while, nodded: "That's right."

I said, "It's okay for Yang Jinqiao to tell the emperor what things are. She is a person who takes the overall situation into consideration. I believe she won't talk nonsense."

"What about other people?"

"Other concubines may not." Thinking of the words Lu Xinrong said to me when I was in the past, including the unhappy expressions of other concubines when they came here, I sighed and said, "They will definitely make things jealous. After so many years, Xichuan and the court have not been able to reconcile. If there is any mistake this time, I am afraid there will be no chance."

Qinghan thought for a while and said, "We have to create this opportunity."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "..."

I looked up at him.

He said: "We have to go to Xishan Academy to find out what happened."

“…”

"Also, who was assassinating them? This matter cannot be ignored."

"Concubine Ning said that those people are well-trained and well-knowing about the terrain of Xichuan. They came very quickly and found that they retreated very quickly after encountering resistance. They had no time to arrest them, and they could not leave a single living person, so they did not figure out who they were."

Qinghan said: "Actually, there is no need to figure it out, it's just two kinds of people."

“Which two?”

"First, people who are hostile to the court."

"There are quite a lot of people like this in Xichuan. Besides, haven't you been sheltering many refugees from Yangzhou before? It's hard to guarantee that these people don't have any hatred towards the court."

Qinghan nodded and said, "There is another way, I don't want to see people who are talking to Xichuan."

“…”

This time, neither of us spoke again.

This kind of person, more.

Pei Yuanxiu must not want to see it, and there must be many people within Xichuan who do not want to see it. They do not want to wade into this muddy water, and they also want to maintain Xichuan's neutrality during the war, which is beneficial to them.

even--

People from the Yan family may not want to see peace talks.

After all, the Yan family has been in control of Xichuan for decades. People here do not know the court, but only know the Yan family. To put it bluntly, it is like a local emperor. Everyone yearns for imperial power, so how could they let go?

For example, Qingchen, if there is no crisis now, I think he may not be willing to negotiate.

I sighed: "If you want to check it, it will be difficult to check it."

Qinghan said: "No matter what happens, as long as it happens, it will definitely leave clues. What's more, even if we can't find any clues, we can at least understand Nan Zhenyi when we arrive at the academy. His attitude is very important."

I looked up at him: "So, you still have to go?"

He also looked down at me: "Young, you can't do it alone."

“…”

"I know you used to study in the academy, and the students there respected you very much, but that was a lot of years ago. Everything in the academy is different now."

“…”

"I have to get over."

"Then do you ignore your body?"

"Aren't I okay now? Besides, we have arrived in Nishikawa."

"..." I was silent for a while, frowned and looked at him: "Then let me ask you, you were taken away by Master Ye when you were in Wulong. Do you know the location of Miaoshan Sect?"

"I probably know."

“Where is it?”

"I'm afraid I'll have to go to find the specific location, but I know it's not far from Bishan, maybe it's near Jiangyang."

"oh……"

He said: "Even if there is really something wrong, it will take only a few days to go back and forth."

“…”

"Really, don't worry, let me go to the academy with you."

“…”

I thought silently for a long time and finally said, "Okay, but I want to make three rules with you first. On the way, you should tell me immediately if you feel any discomfort on the way. You can't think of it before in Xi'an Prefecture. If you still endure the poison, it will kill you."

“…”

"Your life is not yours alone!"

"I know," he bent his eyes slightly and looked at me gently: "I don't want you to overturn Nishikawa, I will save my life."

I chuckled and then said, "Okay."

“When will we set off?”

"Tomorrow, at least today is over. These things must be explained clearly to Yuanfeng. Moreover, I will also pass the news of my return back to Chengdu first, so that Qingchen and Aunt Hong know that there is no need to worry about me."
