A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 148 Affectionate (Part [-])
Even though Qi Huan entered the palace last time and forged a chance, but at this juncture, Empress Gu ordered her to enter the palace...

This is by no means a coincidence.

And the reason given sounds reasonable at first glance, but in fact——

If it is just to honor the rewards promised before, people have been sent out, and the things are delivered directly to the door.

Why bother to spread an edict and call Qi Huan into the palace to receive the reward?

However, going through this extra procedure really intimidated Qi Zhengyu, telling him to calm down and weigh his future actions.

Jian Xinghai was at a loss.

Qin Song's face changed several times in an instant, and he asked him again: "Gu Zhan returned to Beijing?"

Jian Xinghai shook his head: "This... I haven't heard of it. The good news came back two days ago, saying that the banditry has been eliminated, but there must be some follow-up matters in the future. I want to go back... Maybe I am on my way back to Beijing now."

Qin Song said that he was asking him, but it seemed that he didn't want to hear his answer from the beginning to the end.

At this time, he resolutely said to himself: "No! He must be back."

All of a sudden, he started chattering.

Before Jian Xinghai could react, he saw that he had lifted the cape of his robe and rushed out with strides.

The father-in-law Jia in the palace condescends and is waiting at the mansion, Qi Huan dare not be negligent.

Yang went back before her, and asked someone to find out the clothes and jewelry that had just been packed into the box, and choose an outfit for her.

After searching back and forth, the whole house became a warehouse, with piles of clothes and jewelry everywhere, in a mess.

For the time being, Qi Huan didn't bother to take a bath and burn incense. He just washed his face in a hurry, wiped his sweat with a wet handkerchief, redressed and changed his clothes, tidied up as quickly as possible, and rushed to the front yard in a hurry.

At the gate, the father-in-law Jia got the news and had already gone out to wait.

He didn't seem to be hypocritical and weak like an ordinary internal official. He went out of the palace to pass the decree, and directly led a team of people, which was very suitable for Queen Gu's pomp and circumstance.

"My father-in-law has been waiting for a long time." Qi Huan walked over first, and thanked him for the ceremony.

"It's just according to the order, you don't have to be polite." Eunuch Jia nodded slightly.

But he took an extra look at that half of her cheek, but his eyes were not lingering for a long time, and then he got on the horse as if nothing had happened.

Qi Huan turned around to get into the carriage, but Qin Song's carriage was also parked beside him.

She walked over and knocked on the carriage: "Master Qin, I'm very sorry about today's matter. I'm in a hurry to go out now, and the days ahead are long. Let's talk about it another day."

Although she didn't know how Qin Song managed to go back and forth in such a short period of time, but there is nothing in the world that can achieve his goal for no reason, and she also knows what he must have used in a hurry very means.

otherwise--

Impossible to see immediate results and recover so quickly.

Qi Huan really felt a little bit sorry, so he tried to be as polite as possible.

Unexpectedly, Qin Song raised a corner of the curtain from the car.

His expression was cold and calm, and he had returned to normal: "You want to enter the palace, aren't you? I'll see you off."

Someone from the palace came to pick her up, and her own house also prepared chariots and horses to protect her...

The so-called "send" is really superfluous.

Qi Huan thought that she had a certain understanding of the temperament of this young Lord Qin, so she asked directly: "If you have anything to say, just say it here."

This girl still likes to play straight balls as always.

Qin Song looked into her eyes, facing her clear and open eyes.

In his heart, he thought about countless versions of words and sentences in an instant, and finally...

He also chose to ask what he was most concerned about: "You have been in private contact with that Gu Zhan of the Pingguo government?"

He kept his eyes on her for a moment, watching every subtle emotional change on her face.

Qi Huan was stunned for a moment.

Although she was surprised that Qin Song would ask this out of the blue at this time and place, the first thing that crossed her mind was Gu Zhan saying that there was a festive relationship between the two of them.

After Qi Zhengyu's tossing just now, Qi Huan thought he had formally reached a united front with Qin Song.

Allies need her to make a case, it's a necessary procedure.

She lowered her eyes slightly to hide it, then raised her eyes again and said with a smile: "I know him, and I have some contacts with him occasionally... I'm in a hurry now, let's talk about it in detail later."

When she spoke, she still went straight and straight, and her expression was frank.

Although Qin Song tried his best to find some traces that she was acting to deceive herself face to face, it didn't look like it.

He stared sternly into her face.

Qi Huan felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by him, he just looked away and repeated what he said before: "Get in the car, I'll see you off!"

Qi Huan: ...

That father-in-law Jia, because he has been waiting for a long time, has already looked back here once.

Qi Huan couldn't continue to struggle with this young master, so he had no choice but to let him go.

Without making a sound, she turned and boarded her carriage.

Qin Song naturally regarded her as acquiescing.

Eunuch Jia led a team of palace servants and imperial guards to open the way ahead, followed by Qi Huan's carriage, and behind them fell Qin Song's men and horses.

In the morning, he was also guarding against Qi Zhengyu's deceit, so when he went to the Marquis of Changning, he deliberately made a big show of fanfare and ordered a team of guards to accompany him.

At this time, this group of people was walking on the street, and the battle was quite huge, which attracted passers-by to stop and watch from time to time.

Qi Huan nestled in the carriage, out of sight.

In her carriage, Xing Luo followed, Yun Xi only followed Yang Shi to the gate, and then went back.

Although he was on the way into the palace, what Qi Huan couldn't stop thinking about was his own housework.

She asked Xing Luo for some gossip again, and reorganized the information to make arrangements.

Because in her opinion—

The internal strife in the Qi family has finally officially kicked off.

Qi Zhengyu has been the king and hegemony in the family these years, and he is used to being the only one. Some people will learn from the pain once they suffer a loss, but people like him will only be enraged, and then they will intensify their efforts to counterattack again.

in a certain sense……

He and Mrs. Yu are really not in the same family, so they won't enter the same family!

In the past, I didn't want to confront him, but now that the situation has been opened...

Qi Huan is not a person who has no plans and is willing to sit and wait for death!

The carriage drove for more than half an hour and stopped in front of the palace gate.

Xing Luo jumped out of the car first, and then helped her step on the footstool to get off.

Qi Huan looked back, it seemed that Qin Song really only wanted to escort her for a ride, and now his car and the team stopped a little far behind.

Moreover, he didn't show up, and he didn't seem to plan to get out of the car.

Qi Huan let go of Xing Luo's hand after standing firm, and exchanged a look with her again.

After that, she entered the palace gate with Eunuch Jia and others, while Xing Luo turned around and ran to Qin Song's driver: "Master Qin, my lady said that she has something urgent to ask for your help."

Qi Huan didn't care about the result of Xingluo's negotiation with Qin Song outside the palace, and when he entered the palace gate, he put up all his energy and devoted himself to dealing with the affairs of the palace.

She also felt that it was too much of a coincidence that Empress Gu summoned her at this juncture, and she also wanted to call her to the palace to receive the reward?

But I really can't think of any reason for the majestic mother of a country to plot against her...

Since she couldn't figure it out, she would be at peace with it, and she didn't bother to think about it.

Today, probably because of Empress Gu, she summoned her here alone. Rare things are more expensive, and the treatment is better. When she entered the palace gate, Eunuch Jia arranged a sedan chair for her to sit in.

Qi Huan can walk...

Ladies and gentlemen will be restricted from traveling freely and cannot go out to play casually. Qi Huan's most frequent exercise in the past few months is to take a walk in his own garden to exercise his legs.

But the empress sympathized with her, and she had to know how to praise her, so she experienced the joy of sitting in a sedan chair like a gentleman.

The road in the palace was flat and steady, without any bumps.

It's not good at all, she didn't close her eyes all day and night before, and she had just fought a tough battle with Qi Zhengyu, sitting in such a small space, and after such a shake, she felt like sitting in a cradle, fainting sleep.

In order not to blaspheme the emperor's favor, Qi Huan went from pinching his fingers to beating his arms to pinching his thighs along the way...

Tossing himself back and forth, he finally survived soberly until the sedan chair landed outside Fengming Palace.

A little eunuch came up and opened the sedan chair curtain.

Afterwards, the father-in-law Jia did it himself, leading the way and leading her inside.

Today there was no hustle and bustle during the last banquet. In the huge Fengming Palace, only a few birdsong in the garden could be heard occasionally, making it seem empty and quiet.

Eunuch Jia took her with him, but he didn't go to the palace to meet the queen, but walked along the periphery of the garden and turned straight into the bamboo garden from last time.

In other places of Fengming Palace, there are palace people walking back and forth busy, somewhat popular, but this bamboo forest is the most secluded and quiet.

Especially today the weather is not so good, among the lush green bamboo forests soaring to the sky, there is an illusion of entering the deep mountains and old forests to find immortals.

Qi Huan felt that this situation was very wrong, but——

It's not good to ask questions.

Just as she was on guard, she saw that Eunuch Jia, who was walking in front of her, stopped suddenly, then walked sideways, turned around without making a sound, and walked back to meet her.

Qi Huan was taken aback.

After he moved away, his eyes swept away in a panic, only then did he see Mother Jiao standing in front of him.

In this way, she didn't follow Eunuch Jia back, but walked forward with more doubts, bowed her knees and said, "Hi, Mother Jiao."

He didn't dare to look around in an open and aboveboard manner, and only took the opportunity to scan the surroundings sharply from the corner of his eyes...

What is the habit of the empress?Do you like to visit deep mountains and old forests in this kind of weather?
Mother Jiao didn't give her time to let her think wildly, she smiled and handed her the things she was holding in her hands.

Qi Huan was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that the thing in her hand seemed familiar.

Take another look.

Well, it is the robe that fell in this bamboo garden in the last review!

Qi Huan felt a little uneasy...

What do you mean?Settle accounts after autumn?Last time, it was difficult to investigate due to the large number of people?
She felt a little vacant for a moment, a little scared, so she was on guard against hesitation, didn't dare to move, but tried to maintain a calm and obedient appearance on the face, and said softly: "The empress summoned the servants to the palace, the empress is... ..."

However, Mother Jiao took her hand and forced the robe to her, with a kind and kind smile on her face all the time: "Your Majesty, she doesn't interfere with what you say about young people. You personally handed this dress last time." The one who entrusted it to the old slave has saved it for you for so long, and today it will be returned to the original owner, so the girl should take it back and dispose of it herself."

After saying that, without giving Qi Huan a chance to react or understand, he walked away from her.

Qi Huan was holding the robe in his hand, with a dazed expression on his face.

The last time she handed in her clothes was to avoid suspicion, and she was also afraid of causing trouble in Queen Gu's palace. The conscience of heaven and earth, how thoughtful is that?

This time, Empress Gu specially called her into the palace, and stuffed a man's clothes into her hands...

This operation, no matter how you look at it, is a bit confusing!
If you want to cheat her, send someone to rush in now, and if you catch one, the physical evidence is fresh and hot, she will never be able to argue with it!
Of course, Queen Gu has no such bad taste.

Qi Huan watched her off, seeing that Mother Jiao really left the garden without looking back.

She could only look back, hold the clothes, and follow the path she walked the last time in her memory, looking for it from the forest path.

The sky is cloudy today, and with the lush bamboo branches in the forest, the water vapor is even heavier.

Occasionally, a drop of dew falls from the tip of a bamboo leaf on a high place.

The water vapor smudged on the texture of the robe, and Qi Huan subconsciously hugged the clothes in his arms.

Then when he got closer, he could smell some residual aura on the clothes that seemed to be absent.

It was still the smell I smelled when I woke up last time, like the elegant rosin.

Only now did she realize that it was probably the incense on Gu Zhan's robe...

This robe has been kept with Empress Gu for a long time, even if it is just pressed in the cage and has not been touched, the smell has almost dissipated, Qi Huan clutched the robe in his hand, walked and meditated...

She always felt that the smell in her nostrils was familiar.

As if, once upon a time, she had smelled a stronger, closer and longer-lasting fragrance.

However, this kind of spice is mostly used by men.

In her previous life, she had never met a man with such an elegant hobby of incense. In this life...

Gao Ya has seen a few of them, but this cheating man and woman are so powerful that even if they hold hands, there will be gossip, and she didn't get into anyone's arms to hold someone and sniff them around!

Just as she was walking absent-mindedly, she turned to the corridor a few days ago, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Gu Zhan waiting on the corridor.

He appeared here at this time?

then……

She walked along the way, and everything that happened was completely logical!
Qi Huan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly walked a few steps to meet him, but he questioned on the spot, somewhat dumbfounded: "You asked me to come here? Why are you making such a big circle?"

After a hasty farewell here last time, Qi Huan never inquired about Gu Zhan's whereabouts.

But at Yu's house that day, I heard someone chatting and mentioned a few words, saying that Gu Shizi had recently gone out of Beijing to suppress bandits.

Qi Huan took a closer look at this moment and found that he was still wearing a set of soft armor.

It looks like it has been wiped and sorted out, and it is still clean...

But at the next moment, she still frowned intuitively, and said: "Two days ago, I heard that the son went out of Beijing to suppress the bandits. Are you...just coming back?"

Don't even have time to change clothes?As for rushing so fast?
When Gu Zhan received the letter from Wei Feng, he was indeed already on his way back to Beijing, and then left the large army behind and rushed back overnight.

Of course, he can also rush directly to the Marquis of Changning...

During the process of waiting for Qi Huan to come over, his thoughts were also turned back and forth, and he was very anxious.

After brewing thousands of words, I thought that I would finally have a chance to confess everything to her once...

As a result, Qi Huan turned his back on the customer and asked questions.

Gu Zhan was so choked by her that the opening words he had planned before were all useless, so he could only regain his composure: "The timing is not too good, I heard that something happened to you..."

Before he finished speaking, Qi Huan felt guilty first, and said seriously: "Well... my younger brother is staying at the house temporarily, and there was an emergency at the time, and I couldn't find any other better place to settle him in such a hurry. I didn't ask you in advance, I really hug..."

As she spoke, she buried her head and took out the jade pendant in her purse again.

Gu Zhan grabbed her fingertips and stopped her movement.

The palm of a man is generous and warm.

The movement of wrapping her fingertips was hasty, but not brutal.

The second half of Qi Huan's sentence was stuck in his throat like this.

She was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised her eyes.

The gaze moved from his hand holding her fingertips to his face.

In Gu Zhan's gaze, Shen Yizhong still had a kind of clarity and sincerity unique to young people.

He just looked straight into her eyes like this, Qi Huan forgot to retract his hand for a moment.

"It's actually me who should say I'm sorry." Gu Zhan tried his best to control his expression, not wanting to show any unstable emotions, just to appear reliable.

Qi Huan blinked, and she realized that the elder son was unwilling to give up and wanted to confess his love a second time.

After all, this prelude...

It was already very affectionate and touching!
However, Gu Zhan said with sincerity and guilt: "The disaster caused by your side this time, in the final analysis, the root cause is actually me."

Qi Huan:? ? ?
This time, the one who should really be blamed, isn't Qin Xiaohou Ye's cheap mouth?

Gu Shizi, I know you still have a crush on me, but we are such an excellent second-generation official, don't demean yourself so much for being a licking dog, okay?

Now you are young and impulsive, full of passion, and when you mature and calm down, thinking of all the actions you have taken today, I am afraid that you will retaliate against me in order to save face!

"That..." Qi Huan's impression of this Gu Shizi is really good, because of this, facing the other party's relentless pursuit, she felt uneasy, and twitched the corners of her mouth in embarrassment: "Is there something wrong?" Misunderstanding... about our family..."

Yes, you didn't have time to descend from the sky, and you were my unrivaled hero immediately, but don't just talk about it, just put this kind of shit on your head, okay?
Qi Huan subconsciously hugged his clothes with one hand, and began to pull his fingers out of his palm with the other.

This Gu Shizi is not at home recently, so I don't know how bad her reputation will be after this incident...

Her scalp tingles just thinking about it!

We must not harm the five good youths!

"It's because you don't remember me." But Gu Zhan didn't let go, she saw his face flushed slightly, and she smiled wryly as if it was extremely difficult to say, "On the night of the Qinglong Festival, Qin Song wanted to kill me!"

Qi Huan: ...

On the robe held in his arms, there was still a burst of pine wood fragrance oozing out.

Qi Huan took a deep breath.

Then, I finally completed the plot that had been broken for a long time!
　Lord Qin Xiaohou:? ? ?The assist was actually me?This cheating author gave me half of the book, just to use me as an assist? ? ?

　　Duanmu Beauty: I am familiar with this plot! ! !Brother, as a person who has been here, I advise you, lie down quickly, and you will die anyway! ! !

　　Lord Qin Xiaohou: Get lost→_→

　　Xiao Yunzi: Listen to him, lie down quickly, I am an emperor, why can't you be embarrassed?
　　Lord Qin Xiaohou: ...
