Report to the prince: The princess is a powerful strategist

Chapter 21 tacit understanding
For Qin Zining today, the happiest moment every day is lying in bed after nightfall and waiting for Jun Yi's arrival.

Since Jun Yi visited Qin's house that night, he has been coming every night these days. Because of this, Qin Zining had already told Ye Lan not to keep vigil.

Just when Bai Dan entered the house with chicken soup, Qin Zining sensed something was wrong from the scent of her body.

Later, he deliberately talked about not having to keep vigil. Bai Dan didn't know that Ye Lan had stopped keeping vigil a long time ago and did not give any reaction, which deepened Qin Zining's suspicion.

When Bai Dan reached out to hold the soup bowl, Qin Zining was even more sure that this person was not Ye Lan.

Yelan's hands are calloused because she has been holding swords all year round, while Baidan's hands need to be carefully maintained because of the masking process.

The difference between their two hands can be seen at a glance.

Qin Zining just lay on the bed thinking about it while waiting for someone to come.

After a while, there was a faint sound of opening and closing the window, and then there was the sound of someone breathing in the room.

After Jun Yi came in through the window, he stood directly in front of the bed and listened quietly to Qin Zining's breathing through the tent. He did this every time he came back these days.

The purpose of his visit was very simple. He just wanted to listen to Qin Zining's breathing for a few breaths, and wanted to know how her physical condition was today.
These days, although the two of them have never communicated with each other from beginning to end, they feel at ease when one comes and the other feels happy when he comes.

It seemed silent, but it seemed like thousands of words were being transmitted to each other with every breath they took.

With Jun Yi's martial arts attainments, he could not tell whether Qin Zining's breathing was awake or sleeping.

On the first day he came, he knew that Qin Zining was awake. At that time, he was a little panicked. He broke into the woman's boudoir in the dead of night. Jun Yi was deeply afraid that Qin Zining would misunderstand him as a prodigal.

But that day, Qin Zining was clearly not asleep, but did not respond to his arrival. Jun Yi understood what the other party meant.

In the days that followed, the two of them pretended to be asleep in a tacit understanding, while the other pretended not to know that she was pretending to sleep, and just enjoyed a moment of alone time.

A few breaths of time passed by so quietly, and Jun Yi left as usual. When exiting the room, he stopped for a moment in front of the low couch where Qin Zining often sat, and then left.

After Jun Yi's figure completely disappeared behind the window, Qin Zining got up from the bed, put on her shoes and walked to the low couch.

There was already a piece of paper on the small table on the low couch. Qin Zining picked it up, with a few words written on it.

[Tomorrow I will come to the door with the medicine king Gu Ye Baicao. 】

This note was neither signed nor addressed to, nor did it indicate why Ye Baicao came to the door, or to which house?

But Qin Zining understood it at a glance.

The next day.

Qin Zining had just woken up, and Bai Dan was already waiting outside the door. As soon as he heard the movement in the room, he immediately came in with water to help Qin Zining get up.

After being served for a while, Bai Dan, who was serving as a maid for the first time, served her well. Qin Zining praised her without hesitation, "You can learn everything quickly!"

"Hey, miss, it's mainly because Sister Yelan teaches me well. She taught me several times in the morning."

Qin Zining smiled, "Where is Yelan?" Bai Dan replied while combing Qin Zining's hair: "Sister Yelan asked me to tell the lady that the secret guard sent to follow the second son of Changping Hou lost contact. Sister Lan went to the Shadow Guard Camp to learn about the situation."

Qin Zining's eyebrows wrinkled involuntarily when she heard this. She had never figured out how Zhao Kaizhong rushed back to Kyoto from Jiangnan in two days?
I originally planned to ask the secret guard who was following Zhao Kaizhong, but unexpectedly the secret guard lost contact.

The longer the contact is lost, the greater the possibility that the secret guard has been killed. This is not what Qin Zining wants to see.

The Liuying Guards, a convoy composed of open guards and secret guards, were organized by Qin Zining himself, and everyone in them was personally selected by Qin Zining.

To Qin Zining, every Liuying Guard is like a family member. Losing one is like losing a family member.

Bai Dan saw Qin Zining's expression through the mirror, and hurriedly tried to persuade him: "Miss, you don't need to worry too much. The one who is following the second son of Changping Hou is Brother Yechen. His Qinggong is the best in Wei. He is If we are really discovered, we should be able to protect ourselves.”

Qin Zining shook his head slightly, because Yechen's Qinggong was the best, and the longer he was out of contact, the more worrying he became.

If he really had escaped, he would definitely have sent news back, but there was still no news, either he had been killed, or he had not completely escaped.

No matter which of these two situations, Qin Zining didn't want Yechen to be in such a situation right now.

"Bai Dan, go and send a message and ask the people in Wei to do their best to find traces of Ye Chen."

"Yes, I will comb your hair and go."

"No need, go ahead! I'll do it myself."

As Qin Zining spoke, she took the wooden comb from Bai Dan's hand and started combing it herself. Upon seeing this, Bai Dan bowed and went to spread the news.

After Bai Dan left, Qin Zining gave herself a fairy bun, then got up and went to Princess Suihua's courtyard.

Jun Yi said last night that he would bring Ye Baicao to visit today. As a foreign man, he naturally had to ask for permission to enter the inner house, and he also had to visit his grandmother before he could come to them.

Qin Zining didn't know when he would come. Anyway, she had planned to go to her grandmother's courtyard with her as soon as possible to pay her respects, and not come back.

In this way, whenever Jun Yi comes to visit, she can see him immediately.

When Qin Zining arrived at Songyuan, Princess Suihua had just woken up. She slept late last night and was now a little blue.

"Aniang, you haven't had a good rest every day. If you continue like this, I really won't be able to explain to my father!"

Princess Suihua smiled and pulled her to him, "Don't try to take care of yourself whenever something happens. How much can you do with your small body?
I didn't get a good rest last night, but this time I'm not bothering you because of you. I'm happy because your eldest brother's marriage is getting closer. "

At the banquet the day before yesterday, Princess Suihua had some thoughts after hearing Qin Zining say that she liked Chen Waner who lived in Changping Marquis Mansion very much and thought that Chen Waner and her eldest brother could be a good match.

I just thought that Chen Wan'er had a lot of filial piety and was afraid that it would be inappropriate, so I didn't think about it further. However, after being reminded by Qin Zining, Princess Suihua went to inquire about it.

This inquiry is really appropriate!
Chen Waner's filial piety period will be up next month, and her family's son-in-law will be coming back next month, which is just right.
