Chapter 648 The lady must have a way

The mother and son waited all afternoon. Liu Ji and Awang finally came back when it was completely dark.

The brand-new Qin Mansion made the two of them think they had gone the wrong way. The lights in the house were brightly lit and the aroma of food was coming from them. Just looking at it made people feel warm.

Fortunately, Saburo poked his head out from the door, and the two of them dared to believe that this was the Qin Mansion and that they had not gone the wrong way.

Most of the fatigue from running around all afternoon seemed to have dissipated as soon as I walked into this bright door.

Seeing Qin Yao and the children waiting in the courtyard, Liu Ji could no longer hold back and slumped his shoulders in frustration.

"Why are you here this afternoon? Have you seen your little senior brother?" Qin Yao asked tentatively.

Awang nodded to Qin Yao and went to the kitchen to help serve dishes and rice. After a hard day, his stomach was already growling.

Liu Ji walked up to Qin Yao, hung his head and said, "Senior Brother is not in the capital now. We only saw Shitou at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion. After asking around, they didn't even know that the teacher was seriously ill!"

Having said this, Liu Ji raised his head again, looking angry. How could the little senior brother be so negligent?

He also said that the Prime Minister's son lived in the same city, just a few streets apart, and he didn't even know the teacher's physical condition.

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows in surprise. The food was already on the table. Qin Yao signaled Liu Ji to wash her hands and talked while eating.

He didn't eat anything all afternoon, so he drank a few cups of tea and ate some pastries at noon. Liu Ji's stomach was already growling, so he nodded, went to wash his hands in front of the water tank, and served the meal.

He was obviously very hungry, but he couldn't eat anymore after just two bites. Liu Ji poked at the rice distractedly, "How can the little senior brother not be in the capital? I promised to take care of the teacher, but now that the teacher's life or death is uncertain, he actually ran away. Have you gone to Nalaoshizi Zhuangzi to meditate? "

The more he talked, the angrier he became. He couldn't even take a bite of the meal.

Hmm. The main thing is that the food is a bit unpalatable, salty and old.

Yin Le silently saw his master's reaction and buried his head in eating, not daring to speak.

Fortunately, Sanlang and Awang were very generous, and they ate whatever they had, and the food was delicious.

Qin Yao first finished three bowls of rice to fill her stomach, then put down her bowls and chopsticks and asked Liu Ji what her next plan was.

Qi Xianguan is not in the capital, and it is most likely that he was arranged by the old prime minister to avoid falling into the vortex of power struggle.

They had only been in the capital for two days when they witnessed a house raid. The tense atmosphere between the eldest princess and the East Palace made it clear at a glance that the power struggle between the two parties had now reached a fever pitch.

"Until the results come out, the old prime minister will not let Qi Xianguan come back. His way there will be blocked." Qin Yao stated the facts.

Liu Ji didn't know. He just felt that the teacher was in the tiger's mouth and was miserable. He was anxious and couldn't help complaining.

"Madam!" Liu Ji suddenly looked over seriously, "I must see the teacher!"

As he said that, he stretched out his two hands toward her and climbed onto her wrist. His peach-blossom eyes blinked pitifully, "Madam, you have great powers. I know you must have a way, right?"

"Teacher is kind to me. I said I would provide for him until the end of his life. Now he is an old man who can't move and is locked up somewhere. I don't know if he can eat or drink."

The more he spoke, the more he took it in, and he was about to cry miserably, with water vapor coming out of his peach blossom eyes, the ends of his eyes turning red, and his red lips biting lightly, "I know I can't change anything. I just want the teacher to eat better and sleep warmer." , It would be nice to have a few words with him, he must be lying in a cold dark room now, waiting for me to see him. "

Qin Yao looked at his expression and almost burst into tears. The more he talked, the more distracted he became. It was strange.

Perhaps to Liu Ji, the teacher Gong Liangliao is really different.

After all, a bastard who has lived with others' doubts, distrust and abuse since childhood will not be disliked for the first time no matter what he does. Not only is he not disliked, the other person will also teach him everything he has learned throughout his life. But Qin Yao also had to remind Liu Ji that Kyoto was not a Kaiyang County where thieves could come and go freely.

"Do you know how many patrol guards there are between various cities? To go to the Imperial Prefecture, you must cross the Yang River. There are several bridges on the river. Which one has the loosest guard? And how big is the Imperial Prefecture? Which one does Mr. live in? ? We don’t know anything now." Qin Yao said calmly.

Liu Ji's hope instantly ignited, he knew that his wife must have a way!
"Awang and I will go check it out right away, early tomorrow morning!"

"Let's go before we finish the meal!" Liu Ji instantly gained an appetite and picked up the bowl of rice and ate it.

Nga Wang: "." He wanted to know what kind of resentment he was.

Qin Yao twitched the corner of her mouth fiercely and gritted her teeth to remind someone: "The curfew has been imposed and you can only move within the city. If you go out and wander around now, you are seeking death."

Liu Ji made a movement while eating, then his raised eyebrows drooped, and the rice in the bowl was no longer fragrant.

"Okay, let's go find out tomorrow morning. Once we've found out, ma'am, we'll go find the teacher in the evening, okay?"

Qin Yao couldn't help but shocked him, "Can you only think about visiting the Imperial Prefect's Mansion at night? What will happen if you visit secretly during the day?"

Liu Ji's drooping eyebrows raised a little, "Madam, what do you mean?"

Finding that the children and Yin Le were watching her talking to Liu Ji, Qin Yao's eyes widened: "Eat your food, adults are not allowed to eavesdrop on what they are saying!"

Everyone: "Oh." They bowed their heads obediently and ate.

Qin Yao rolled her eyes at Liu Ji and said, "Go to my room and talk later."

Liu Ji's heart trembled, Fang, Fang said?

Awang looked shocked and pointed at himself, "Me too?"

"You don't have to." Qin Yao didn't plan to let Awang show up. The risk was too great and she was safer alone.

Thinking of the masks the children bought today, Qin Yao tentatively suggested: "Awang, do you want to disguise your face?"

Awang felt that any disguise might be seen through, so it was better to just walk on the road openly.

After all, few of his former colleagues could survive after these few years.

"Madam, there are only two people who have seen my true face in the past."

One is King Feng in the fiefdom, and the other is the Holy Queen in the deep palace, so there is really no need to pretend.

If the guards patrolling the streets of the capital suddenly encounter someone who is looking for trouble, and suddenly want to inspect him, and discover his disguise, it may be even more troublesome.

When Qin Yao thought about it, it made sense, "Forget it."

As the saying goes, it's dark under the lamp, but who would have thought that the dead soldier who escaped would be bold enough to come back?
Even if King Feng is still sending people to hunt down Awang, this is the capital and his minions can't get in.

After dinner, because the adults in the family had something to talk about, the children took the initiative to clear away the dishes and wipe the table, and then they all went back to the house.

Knowing that he had to rely on his wife to have any hope of meeting the teacher, Liu Ji transformed into a hard-working bee. He first prepared hot water for Qin Yao so that she could take a comfortable bath, and then helped wash the clothes she had changed.

Finally, I cleaned myself up, smoked some incense, took the hot sugar water, and knocked on her door with one part anxiety, one part anticipation, six parts restraint.
