After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

The next day, Shen Qingci woke up rubbing his sore waist.

And the instigator had already dressed like a dog and was working on the desk beside him.

Hearing the movement, Sheng Tingye raised his eyes and looked over.

Before Shen Qingci could raise his troops to question him, he had already stood up sincerely, poured a glass of hot water for Shen Qingci, and said gratefully: "Thank you for helping me detoxify my wife last night."

"Otherwise, just looking at these secret reports will make me a little powerless."

"Thank you for your hard work, ma'am."

This is not hard work, it clearly almost cost Shen Qingci half of his life.

But he couldn't reach out and hit the smiling man. The poison on his body was indeed not eliminated in three to five days. Seeing Sheng Tingye's good attitude in admitting his mistake, Shen Qingci had no choice but to swallow it.

What's more, Sheng Tingye took the initiative to talk about the Qin Dynasty.

"The medicine has taken effect and he will wake up in less than half an hour. Madam, don't worry."

Seeing him looking so good, Shen Qingci's last trace of annoyance disappeared.

Just thinking of his appearance last night, she couldn't help but lecture him: "Next time, can you... can you... be more restrained... and don't be ashamed..."

She blushed and hesitated for a long time before she managed to say the words.

I don't know if Sheng Tingye heard it or not. He smiled and said very easily: "Okay, okay, it's all according to Madam."

"Does your waist still hurt? Let me rub it for you."

While talking, Sheng Tingye had already held Shen Qingci's shoulders with one hand and rubbed Shen Qingci's waist with the other.

It was fine at first.

But as he rubbed it, something seemed wrong about his expression, and even his hands began to...

After reacting, Shen Qingci said angrily: "You didn't even listen!"

She raised her hand to tug Sheng Tingye's ears, but Sheng Tingye hugged her waist and rolled on the bed. The two of them laughed and made a fuss.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

After Sheng Tingye agreed, Zheng Lu's voice sounded at the door.

"Master, General Qin is awake."

Shen Qingci and Sheng Tingye looked at each other and immediately stopped playing around.

The two quickly packed up, and when they rushed over, Zheng Lu had already given Qin Chao some water.

The swelling on his body had not subsided, and he was still lying there stiff and stiff. If his eyes hadn't been able to move, it would have been impossible to tell whether he was dead or alive.

Seeing Shen Qingci and Sheng Tingye coming over, Zheng Lu quickly got out of the way.

"Ning...Prince Ning...His Royal Highness..."

His tongue was probably swollen, and his words were not only stuttered, but also very blurry.

Sheng Tingye raised his hand to interrupt him.

"You just woke up. Try to talk as little as possible. I'll ask you questions."

Qin Chao blinked his eyes.

Sheng Tingye narrowed his eyes and said, "I checked. Before General Qin's accident, the Yao family sent people to find General Qin. What are they going to do?"

Speaking of this, Qin Chao suddenly became excited.

But the more excited he became, the more speechless he became.

Sheng Tingye raised his hand to stop what he was saying, and said coldly: "Want to win over General Qin? Support Prince Duan?"

Qin Chao blinked hard.

Sheng Tingye continued: "But General Qin is unmoved. Even if the third son of the Yao family has decided to marry your sister, General Qin is not willing to participate in partisanship?"

Qin Chao still blinked, and this time he blinked harder.

"Did the Yao family do it?"

This time, Qin Chao's eyes were not only red, but his body could not stop shaking.

If he continues to ask questions, he may not be able to hold on mentally.

Sheng Tingye was about to stand up, but Qin Chao suddenly said vaguely: "Ah...A Yuan...save A Yuan..."

"Where?"

"She will... come back... in the past two days..."

Shen Qingci understood. Xu Yuan, who had returned home to visit relatives with her father, had returned in the past two days. Qin Chao was afraid that something might happen to her.

Since the other party is chasing Qin Chao, he will definitely target the people he cares about.

After saying those words, Qin Chao could no longer hold on and passed out again.

Sheng Tingye ordered.

Shen Qingci was worried, but she knew that Sheng Tingye would not joke with Qin Chao's life, so she didn't ask any more questions this time.

Sheng Tingye patiently explained to her.

"His body is too weak, coupled with the lingering poison and depression in his heart, it will not be easy to recover."

As long as there is no fear for his life, Shen Qingci will feel relieved a little.

Sheng Tingye picked up a pen and wrote a recipe aside, and Shen Qingci followed.

"What is your husband going to do?"

Qin Chao is an important witness. Even though it may be impossible to trip up the Yao family, which has a great family and business, it can clear the country's suspicion and resolve the conflict between the two countries.

Since entering the city yesterday, Shen Qingci didn't even need to inquire about it. He could feel the anger of the people just by listening to it in the streets and alleys he passed by.

General Qin may be just a title to the people and dignitaries in Beijing, but to the people on the border, he is a god who protects them.

Nowadays, everyone is spreading the news that the Chu State not only planned to kill General Qin, but even wanted to make a big move because of his evil intentions.

Many border disputes and conflicts that have been alleviated over the years have suddenly been brought up again.

Everyone is panicked and resentful.

If the truth is not found out in time, and the state of Chu is restored, the consequences will be disastrous!

But what can Qin Chao do now that he looks like this?
Since the Yao family dares to do this, they must have back-ups in the Qin family's army. Who knows how many of their internal agents there are in Nanjinguan.

The enemy is in the dark, so we cannot act rashly.

But if they take him back to Beijing, not to mention whether his current body can bear it, will the Yao family not expect that he will do everything possible to return to Beijing to express his love?
Not to mention anything else, his physical condition couldn't bear the chase and bumps along the way.

Just stay in Nanjinguan to recuperate?
But it's too dangerous here.

Shen Qingci thought of a good place, but he still had to ask Sheng Tingye what he meant.

Sheng Tingye guessed it with just one look.

"Send out of Nanjinguan?"

Sheng Tingye nodded and said approvingly, "That's right, it's a good idea."

Putting aside Shen Qingci's special relationship, even the Chu State had to protect the Qin Dynasty in order to wash away the dirty water that had been thrown on it.

Moreover, the Qin Dynasty has a good reputation among the people of the two border countries in recent years.

The Chu State was willing to help, not to mention that Shen Qingci was accompanied by the secret guards with special orders given by Xiao Qinglan.After a while, they will control the situation in the capital and Qin Chao's body will be well. It will not be too late to send him to the capital of Qi.

Sheng Tingye was writing Qin Chao's prescription in his hand, and at the same time he didn't forget to tease Shen Qingci.

"No wonder everyone in the court said that if you want to seize power, you must find a strong Yue family to support you."

Sheng Tingye looked up at Shen Qingci with a smile on his lips: "No one is more powerful and reliable than my in-law family."

Shen Qingci took the prescription he wrote and called a secret guard to tell them what they had just said.

Then she hummed to him deliberately and proudly: "That's right, you have found a treasure, go ahead and enjoy it."

The two smiled at each other.

Sheng Tingye's secret guards worked quickly, but in the end they were a step late.

When they arrived, Xu Jinshan was already dead, and Xu Yuan went to deliver medicine to a military household. When he returned home, he happened to meet the secret guard who came to rescue him.

Her life was saved, but her whole body seemed to have lost its soul.

Only when she heard the news that Qin Chao was still alive, did she finally regain some energy.

After all, she was Qin Chao's sweetheart, and would be Qin Jiaojiao's sister-in-law in the future. Shen Qingci naturally looked at her a few more times.

Her identity is unknown and her appearance is delicate. If you ignore the deep sadness between her eyebrows, she looks like a very gentle and obedient girl.

It was completely different from her and Qin Jiaojiao's temperaments.

"You are……"

Although Shen Qingci in front of him looked very noble, Xu Yuan did not show any timidity.

She looked at Shen Qingci warily, "Where is General Qin?"

Shen Qing's words were concise and concise: "I am Qin Jiaojiao's best friend."

When Qin Jiaojiao was mentioned, Xu Yuan's expression softened a bit, but his eyes were soon shrouded in sadness and hatred.

Shen Qingci knew what she was thinking: "The one who went after you father and daughter is the same as the one who murdered General Qin's father and son."

"It's just that General Qin's situation is really not good now. I'm going to send him out of Nanjinguan to recuperate. Are you willing to go with me?"

With Xu Yuan by his side to take care of him, Qin Chao could recover faster.

And the safety of both of them can be guaranteed.

Shen Qingci originally thought that Xu Yuan would be a little hesitant, but she never thought that she would agree: "Okay, I'll go!"

This surprised Shen Qingci, "Aren't you afraid that this is a sheep entering the tiger's mouth?"

After all, it was Chu State that was sent.

Most people who don't know the inside story can't understand why Qi's generals were sent to Chu, the most suspicious country, to recuperate.

However, Xu Yuan shook his head: "I dare not say anything else, but even if General Qin escaped from danger, he did not return to the general's mansion or the military camp, but hid quietly. In addition, General Qin's death, and our father and daughter The two are being hunted, there must be something wrong here."

"Compared to the current Nanjinguan, Chu State is actually safer."

"I was born here, grew up here, and have interacted with countless Chu people. If we can live a stable life, who would want to live in war, strife, and displacement?"

"Some time ago, there was an incident that happened to the crown prince of Chu State, which involved the border. However, the situation was quickly controlled by General Qin, and it is said that the female monarch has recovered her health. At this time, there should be no more trouble in Chu State. right."

Shen Qingci was a little surprised that she could think so.

"Well, that's right. He has vision. He is indeed the person Brother Qin likes."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan, who had been calm and rational just now, couldn't help but blush. She lowered her eyes and said nervously: "How is he...?"

Shen Qingci asked Zheng Lu to bring someone over.

With Xu Yuan by his side, Qin Chao could relax and recuperate.

Arrangements have been made to send them out of Nanjing Pass, and they are just waiting for Qin Chao to regain some consciousness in the past two days and explain the reasons to him before taking action.

It's up to the people below to handle these matters.

Shen Qingci and Sheng Tingye could not delay any longer.

Before setting off back to Beijing, they passed by Jinping Mountain and saw from a distance that the road up the mountain was full of people.

The Qin family of the general has a family rule that no ancestral hall or ranking should be established for any of its descendants.

If a son of the Qin family died while guarding the border or on the battlefield, everything would be kept simple and buried directly in Jinping Mountain behind Nanjing Pass.

Even if he turns into a lonely soul, he will still be stationed at the south gate of Qi State.

This is the case for the ancestors of the Qin family, and the same is true for the death of General Qin Yan.

On Jinping Mountain, there is a Hero Forest.

Dozens of ancestors of the Qin family are buried there.

Shen Qingci originally wanted to express condolences, but he was also afraid of causing unnecessary trouble during this extraordinary period, and the mountain road was already blocked by people who spontaneously went up the mountain.

When she first heard the news of General Qin's death, she was surprised, surprised, and sad.

But that feeling is not very real after all.

It's like a mountain that has always been standing tall. Some people say that it has fallen. Even if you know this is true, you are subconsciously rejecting and avoiding it in your heart.

Even the feeling of grief is an afterthought.

It wasn't until he saw the long funeral procession and heard the screaming cries in his ears that Shen Qingci truly realized... General Qin had really gone.

Her eyes turned red instantly and she couldn't stop crying.

It is clear that the Qin family has been completely neutral and has stayed away from the battle in the court. These people are really hateful!
Thinking of the Yao family, Shen Qingci couldn't help but think of Yao Qianli who was engaged to Qin Jiaojiao.

On the day she returned home with Sheng Tingye, she made an appointment with Qin Jiaojiao at the teahouse, where she had met the third young master Yao.

The man looked like his name, modest and polite, and his eyes only fell on Qin Jiaojiao. He seemed to have infinite tenderness and pampering for Qin Jiaojiao.

But combined with what happened to the Qin family father and son, and the sudden rise of King Duan... maybe Yao Qianli was not so innocent towards Qin Jiaojiao at that time!
Freezing three feet is not a day's cold.

It is no accident that the Yao family can calculate and become the winner in the end.

In the past two days, Shen Qingci also saw a lot of secret reports coming from Beijing around Sheng Tingye.

She couldn't help but wonder if, from that time on, they had figured out Qin Jiaojiao's identity, and wanted to ask Yao Qianli to marry Qin Jiaojiao, win over the Qin family, and use the Qin family's military power and influence to give Duan Wang Shengting Yun A helping hand?
Especially after the accidents of the previous princes, King Duan rose to power, and the Yao family was no longer secretive.

He simply went to General Qin and started talking, but the latter was unwilling to go against his ancestral precepts and true intentions, and refused the Yao family's offer.

Perhaps out of carelessness, or perhaps because he was about to become an in-law, General Qin relaxed his vigilance, and did not expect that the Yao family would dare to kill him.

The reason why the Yao family did this was because they saw that they could not win over General Qin, so they took advantage of General Qin's death to the maximum extent.

One is to create public dissatisfaction and chaos on the border. The Yao family took the opportunity to intervene and install their own people, cultivating their own power among the originally invulnerable Qin family army.

Secondly, it is the same as when Xiao Wenyan plotted against Miaochuan. It has different approaches but the same purpose.

Thirdly, the father and son of the Qin family have had troubles one after another, leaving no heirs in the Qin family, and the marriage between Qin Jiaojiao and Yao Qianli has been decided. The Yao family can not only take this opportunity to win over the hearts of the old Qin family, but also let outsiders know that they have lost their backbone. The Qin family has been tied into the same boat as the Yao family, strengthening the influence of the Yao family and adding chips to Sheng Tingyun's path to becoming the crown prince.

This move is risky, but the benefits to the Yao family are huge.

Yao family!

Shen Qingci clenched her fists subconsciously, her eyes turned red, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Anyone who conspired to murder the general will absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not be let go!"

Sheng Tingye held her trembling hand and solemnly responded: "Yes, I won't let anyone go." (End of Chapter)
