One of the female generals of the Yang family

【Chapter 49】Herbal Tea and Smoked Bone at Night

In the room, everyone sat looking at each other, only Song Zhe stood aside, seeing Song Xiang staring at him, he didn't dare to say more.Qin Xue was even more surprised by his appearance, and felt that Zhuangzi's current atmosphere was a little unreal.

"I haven't seen you for many years. This child has grown up so much." Qin Han patted Yang Shun on the shoulder and handed him a cup of herbal tea.

Yang Shun held the ice-cold cup, a layer of chill emerged from his body, it took him a while to react, and he drank it in one gulp.

"Pearl scented tea." Yang Shun raised his glass in admiration, "This taste can only be found in Smoked Bone Village."

"Unfortunately, they are all made of dried flower petals. If you drink fresh scented tea in the spring, it will be delicious."

Song Zhe listened carefully, they were all gossip about flowers and tea, without any useful details, he couldn't help wondering, who is this person from the Yang family?

"Do you still have this scented tea? I have been talking about the scent of this tea with my father all the year round, and I have always had an endless aftertaste. However, the gardeners in Tianbo Mansion can't grow pearl flowers. This feeling can only be experienced when you come here." Yang Shun shook his head regretfully. .

Qin Han smiled slightly, "Last year, I ordered the gardener to breed some new species. You can take them back and see if they can grow alive."

"That's great, Yang Shun thanked Lord Qin for his father."

"You and I, you don't need to say thank you." Qin Han got up slowly, walked to the big square wooden cabinet, pulled up the scarlet drawer, took out the hidden compartment from inside, took out a small bag of flower seeds inside and handed it to him. Yang Shun.

"The owner of the village cherishes it so much." Yang Shun was really puzzled when he saw that these flower seeds should be hidden so tightly.

"This is my wife's favorite thing. Naturally, it is the most precious thing in the whole village." Qin Han's tone was light, but his eyes were full of tenderness.

Qin Xue resisted the impulse, bowed her head and said nothing, occasionally looked at Song Xiang who was bending over to make a face at her, smiled slightly, supported him to sit up, and continued to remain silent.

"I don't know what the fourth son is talking about here?" Qin Han's words made Song Zhe cheer up and listen with his ears sideways, even pretending not to care.

"My father heard that the owner of the villa is ill, so he ordered Yang Shun to come to the village to have a look."

"I'm fine. It's just that I'm old. This winter, I get sick. I often cough and have colds. When spring comes, I'll be fine."

Qin Xue looked at him anxiously, "What kind of medicine do you take on weekdays? When you are old, you should take good care of yourself. I just went out, so I don't know how to wear more clothes."

Qin Han looked indifferent, nodded and said with a smile: "What the girl said, I wrote it down."

"I have a friend named Bailiyu, who can cure difficult and miscellaneous diseases in the world. I will bring him to see the owner tomorrow." Qin Xue was full of worries, but Yang Shun was more open-minded than Yang Shun.

Hearing Bailiyu's name, Qin Han was taken aback, frowned slightly, and looked sad, but he hid it for a moment, shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, don't bother the girl."

Qin Xue wanted to say something more, but Yang Shun looked at her and shook his head.On the other hand, Song Zhe interjected: "It's fine to call that Baili or something. My brother Huang still has something for Qin Han to do. He is always sick like this, so there is no way."

Qin Xue suddenly realized that she no longer tried to persuade her, but changed her tone, "The owner must be aware of the owner's body. If he thinks it's okay, I won't let Bailiyu come. He is a bit crazy, and sometimes he doesn't see him To be healed."

Qin Han nodded, accompanied by coughing a few times, it didn't look like a fake, Qin Xue felt uncomfortable, wanted to beat his back, but didn't dare to do it, could only watch worriedly as he wrapped his clothes tighter .

In the guest room, Qin Xue tightly gripped Yang Shun's clothes, "He is so sick, but I can only watch him. Yang Shun, tell me, what should I do?"

Yang Shun slowly hugged her into his arms, and gently patted her on the back, "He must have found something before he did this. He must have known about drinking herbal tea on purpose, wearing thin clothes on purpose, and making himself sick on purpose." What you shouldn't know, but you can't manage it, you can't do it, so let yourself stay out of it like this."

"'Ancient Bridge' must be related to 'Ancient Bridge'." Qin Xue turned around slowly, holding the table with both hands and clenched into fists.

"Yes, the list sent by the Emperor Dan received by the owner of the Qin Zhuang is the crime of treason against the Qiao family, and he must have found some evidence." Yang Shun paced and analyzed, "It's just that Xun Gu Zhuang Tong' Guqiao's relationship with them is not as close as Tianbo Mansion, so if the owner of Qin Zhuang only found out evidence of their treason, he would not hide it. I am afraid that behind this, there is a secret that we cannot parry, and this secret, Qin The owner still doesn't know whether he should say it or not."

"What do you think it will be?"

"What?" Yang Shun sighed, "It's nothing more than related to the country and the country. But there are only two people who are related to the country and the country, the emperor and the prince."

"Xiao Jiu?" Qin Xue was shocked. She went to the door and opened the door to have a look. Song Xiang went to play in the backyard and hadn't come back yet. About the secret?"

"You must have thought of it, but you just dare not admit it." Yang Shun sat in front of the four-corner seat and poured two cups of tea.

Qin Xue also sat down slowly, "Yeah, ever since the emperor agreed to let Xiao Jiu live in Tianbo Mansion, I felt that something was wrong, until I came to Smoked Bone Village, I became more sure. How could the emperor allow such a dangerous place? He's coming." Qin Xue crossed her arms, feeling chills all over her body, and looked at Yang Shun, "He, doesn't he want Xiao Jiu? But, Xiao Jiu is Empress Liu's son, and she is her favorite person." son, how could he?"

"Don't think about it. Your father is probably the one who knows the most about this matter. You can find a time when Song Zhe relaxes and ask him. I believe that all the answers will come to light. Now, you can't be too obvious. Xiao Jiu is smart, he may be able to see your attitude."

Qin Xue nodded, glanced at the closed door, worried about whether Qin Han would be implicated, and worried about Song Xiang's current situation.

The entire Changping County is the industry of "Guqiao".If the "ancient bridge" is destroyed, Changping will perish.In the county seat, there are 260 households with the largest number in the Yinshan area, 390 monks in temples, and more than 100 people in two Taoist temples.There are many places where such people thrive, if the rebels are punished and implicated, it will be a big turmoil.

Song Zhenzong naturally understood the current situation in his heart, and he had to act secretly to deal with the Qiao family.However, if officials such as the Gyeonggi Yamen and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs are sent to conduct a thorough investigation, it will be turned into a state affair, and everyone will know about it, and everyone in Changping will be in danger.After thinking about it, the private expert organization like Xunguzhuang, which investigates cases and finds people, has become the best choice.

As for Song Zhe rushing to Xunguzhuang, it was because Song Zhenzong felt that he had no official position and no sense of existence, and would not be too conspicuous. It would be most appropriate to stay there to monitor and supervise Qin Han. Calling the wind and calling the rain in Zhuangzi has actually been controlled by Qin Han, and he has become a seemingly mighty puppet master.

It's late at night, and the Xungu Village is peaceful, occasionally there is the sound of a watch, but there is no other sound, and the silence is a little unnatural.Qin Xue pulled the nervous Song Xiang, smiled and patted him on the head, "Be more obedient for a while, don't run around, no matter what sounds you hear, just stay in the room and wait for me to come back, understand?"

Song Xiang held her hand nervously, "Qin Xue is sure, are they all from us?"

"I'm sure, it's Zoge and Zhuangzi's chief guard, Qin Ming, who are people we can trust."

"Are you really coming back soon?"

"I promise, I'll be back soon." Qin Xue pinched his cheek and handed him the dagger, "Remember what I said?"

Song Xiang nodded firmly, "Remember, no one can approach me except you and Yang Shun, neither Zoge nor Song Zhe."

Qin Xue smiled reassuringly, and hugged him into her arms with some distress. She heard a sudden noise in her ears. She knew that the opportunity had come, and she grabbed Song Xiang's shoulders tightly, "Protect yourself, I'll be right back."

The wind outside the house is everywhere, and the cold winter moon is indeed desolate.Lights were lit in the Smoked Bone Manor, and the noise erupted in an instant, with figures flickering around, all shouting defensively, "Someone broke into the manor, protect the owner."

Taking advantage of the chaos, Qin Xue rushed to Qin Han's yard, heard footsteps outside the yard, and hurriedly hid in a corner leaning against the wall.

"What happened?" Qin Han coughed along with the lightly opened door.

"Report to the owner of the villa, there are dark people breaking into the village." A guard replied.

Qin Han was about to turn around to get the weapon, but suddenly thought of something, he turned around and said: "I don't need to keep anyone here, you go and protect the deputy owner, and don't let him out of the yard no matter what."

"Master." The guard looked worried.

"Go quickly." Qin Han said seriously, and the guards gritted their teeth and led the crowd away.Until the footsteps could no longer be heard, Qin Hanfang sneered and shook his head helplessly, "Come out."

Qin Xue lowered her head and staggered out from the corner of the room with a smile on her face, as if she did something wrong when she was a child and she looked like when Qin Han knew about it, which made her feel sore.

"Come here soon." Qin Han opened his arms and looked at the child he had been thinking about for almost seven years.

"Father." Qin Xue threw herself into Qin Han's arms, holding back her crying and shaking her shoulders.

"Okay, it's almost the end of the new year. Your mother hates you all crying at this time. Stop crying." Although Qin Han was comforting Qin Xue, his eyes were already full of moisture.

The two walked into the room, looked at each other and smiled for a long time, Qin Han didn't ask how Qin Xue survived these years, no matter how hard it was then, being alive now is nothing at all.

"Speak quickly if you have anything to say. Don't let the outside fight for too long. It's all your own people. It's not good for both sides to suffer." Qin Han was about to pour a cup of herbal tea, coughing and shaking his fingers.

"Can't drink." Qin Xue took the teacup from his hand.

Qin Han shook his head, "I must drink it." As he spoke, he picked up another cup, poured tea, and sipped it.

"Why? What is father hiding from?" Qin Xue really didn't understand why he hurt her body like this. A person who was thought to never get sick is now sick and rickety.

Qin Han didn't look at Qin Xue, put down the cup in his hand, remained silent for a while, and finally said, "I have encountered a difficult case for my father, and I don't know how to deal with it."

"What case? What does it have to do with the 'Ancient Bridge' treason case?"

"Qin Ming told you?"

Qin Xue nodded.

"It's best if you don't know." Qin Han didn't mean to tell her.

"Father knows my daughter's temperament. Even if my father doesn't tell me, I will investigate it. It's just that there will be more doubts. How about I come to my father after I find out the truth?" Qin Xue was about to get up, but was grabbed by Qin Han Pulled and sat down again, "Why are you still in this temper?"

"Father, please tell me what is going on? Father doesn't know. What you are investigating now may be related to a person I care about. I must ensure his safety. If I promise him, I will definitely protect him."

"The child named 'Xiao Jiu' you brought today?" Qin Han's eyes were shrewd.

"Yes, my father must have guessed from Song Zhe's attitude towards him that he is the crown prince, Song Xiang."

"Sure enough." Qin Han stood up slowly, stared at the flickering candles for a long time, then looked at Qin Xue with a caring expression, "If he has to die, the emperor wants him to die, Xue'er, what are you going to do? You want to learn from the emperor?" Can you save him?"
