I am imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion

Han Qi's eyes fell on Cui Tao's abdomen, hesitantly said: "You really..."

"Hmm!" Cui Tao agreed, seeing Han Qi's unresponsive reaction, asked him sadly, "Don't tell me Liu Lang doesn't want it?"

"Of course I want it! I can't wait—" Han Qi leaned into Cui Tao's ear and breathed hot air, "I want him to be born as soon as possible."

If you want your baby to be born as soon as possible, what should you do first?Originally, Cui Tao would not think too much about a normal promise, but Han Qi chose to speak in such an ambiguous way, and directly let Cui Tao drive in his mind.

Now Cui Tao's shy reaction doesn't need to be acted out, it's very natural and real.

……

After Zhao Zongqing got the report from his subordinates, he didn't quite believe their words.The scene of Cui Qiniang's fake death can be sung so realistically that the pregnancy is likely to be fake too.

Zhao Zongqing asked Mo Zhuifeng what he thought of this matter.

"The time of feigning death was to face the enemy head-on, and to prepare in advance. This time, if they don't know that someone is following them, and everything happened by accident, then the whispers in the alley cannot be faked, otherwise who will show it? Besides, what is the point of falsifying such a thing? Use? Destroy her own reputation?"

However, Mo Zhuifeng still suggested to be more cautious, and to observe again, he would also find someone to check the authenticity of Cui Tao's pulse.

"I think it's true. When Cui Qiniang pretended to be an ugly child and followed Han Qi to Quanzhou, the two often shared the same room. With Cui Qiniang's beauty and figure, few men can sit still. With Han Qi's appearance, few women get close He resisted not admiring him. Talented and beautiful, just young, so many days and nights mixed together, dry wood will not burn in the fire?"

Mo Zhuiyu bets that these two must have gone out together.It is human nature to love men and women.What's more, the two of them had promised each other and were engaged, so it was only natural that they couldn't help it.

After Zhao Zongqing heard what the Mo family brothers said, he believed it a little bit, but it was still prudent to ask Mo Zhuifeng to check it again.These two people are suspended from work at home, because they are really eager to arrange the marriage because of their children, so they can be ignored for the time being.Anyway, they won't live for a few more days, so let them both be happy for a few days.

After this day, the Han family's house became lively, and there were always people from shops coming to deliver things, all kinds of porcelain, furniture, silk, red paper and so on.The neighbors of the Han family knew that Mrs. Hu was busy arranging a marriage for her son, and they were very happy for them.Everyone in Bianjing thought that Han Tuiguan and Cui Qiniang were a golden boy and jade girl, and they were very suitable for each other. They had long wanted to hear the good news of their marriage.

When the neighbors saw Hu, they were all happy to congratulate her.Mrs. Hu was very happy, and she was so happy that she could not close her mouth from ear to ear every day. When preparing things, she put all her heart into everything, thinking that her daughter-in-law would never be wronged.

The servants in the mansion were all infected by this atmosphere, and they were all beaming.It's really not a polite word, they sincerely hope that Cui Qiniang will come in and be their mistress as soon as possible.When only Liulang lived in this house, he stayed in the study after returning home. Apart from reading books and studying case files, that is, painting, playing chess, etc., in short, it was a quiet thing, and the servants did not dare to make trouble. what sound.The whole home was so quiet that it could even be described as lifeless.

But Mrs. Cui is different when she comes. Mrs. Cui is beautiful and enthusiastic, with a lively personality. She is the best at delving into food and generous. She often rewards her servants with good things.Every time she comes, the whole house becomes lively, the yard is filled with the smell of drooling, and there is always laughter. When Liu Lang is with him, he is more genuinely easy-going and loves to laugh, not the usual The kind of warmth and alienation.

Cui Tao has been staying at home for the past two days to 'raise the baby' and did not go out.Today, she was kneading noodles in the kitchen, when she heard someone yelling Hu spicy soup outside, she yelled three times near her door, the voice was quite clear and loud, Cui Tao ignored it.Not long after, she heard another person calling for sour plum cakes outside.

"Sweet and sour plum cake! Soothing and appetizing, I promise you won't regret it!"

Cui Tao put down the dough in her hand, called Wang Siniang to come over, whispered something in her ear, and told her to stop the sour plum cake seller first.

Cui Tao then went out to look at the woman who sold sour plum cakes. In his 40s, with a simple and honest face, he feels very simple when he smiles.

"This sour plum cake looks good, my aunt is good at making it." Cui Tao asked Wang Siniang to fetch a plate.

"The little lady praised it."

The woman smiled embarrassedly, and according to Cui Tao's request, she picked up ten pieces of sour plum cakes and put them on a plate. After handing them to Wang Siniang, she put the basket on the ground and took it from Cui Tao with a smile. money.When she bowed down to thank her, she stepped on a stone and leaned towards Cui Tao's body. Madam instinctively grabbed Cui Tao's wrist to stabilize her body.

"What are you doing!" Wang Siniang exclaimed, immediately trying to protect Cui Tao nervously.

"Are you alright, ma'am?" Cui Tao held the woman's arm with her backhand.

"It's all right." The woman quickly apologized for her offending Cui Tao.

Cui Tao lightly shook her head to express that it was okay, and went home with Wang Siniang's support.

Wang Siniang closed the courtyard door, turned the plate of sour plum cakes upside down, and threw away the plate.Since Mrs. Cui just asked her to show the woman a play, it means that the woman's behavior is suspicious, and of course the food she brought should not be eaten.

Cui Tao pulled a thread out of the left sleeve, but it was obvious that the thread was connected to the right arm, and it was Cui Tao's right arm that the woman grabbed just now.

……

"Cui Qiniang's pulse was happy, but the fetus was unstable. At that time, Wang Siniang was still very nervous about her, for fear that she would be knocked down."

Zhao Zongqing couldn't help laughing after hearing Mo Zhuifeng's report, combined with the situation of the Han family's report.

"That kind of self-proclaimed noble person is nothing more than that."

Mo Zhuifeng knew that Zhao Zongqing lamented Han Qi's behavior of indulging in sexual desire before marriage, "Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty, not to mention that Han Qi is not a hero. There is no one in this world who is as pure and self-sufficient as the young master, and has a great realm. Can do great things!"

"Sure enough, you know me best," Zhao Zongqing smiled at Mo Zhuifeng, made him sit down beside him, and then held his hand, "It will become a big event, and you should be the one who deserves the most credit. The world has you half."

"Young master, subordinate—"

Zhao Zongqing motioned Mo Zhuifeng not to say too much, "I will realize all your wishes after you succeed. If you want to expand your territory and destroy gold to avenge your mother, then I will do my best to support you until the end of your life." you."

"Young master!" Mo Zhuifeng's eyes turned red, saying this made everything worth it, he didn't live in vain!Mo Zhuifeng immediately knelt down, kowtowed heavily to Zhao Zongqing, and vowed to follow Zhao Zongqing to the death, and he would not hesitate to be smashed to pieces!

"My mother is half-crazy and half-foolish. She has long since disowned me. She is not here anymore. The chief rudder of the Tianji Pavilion has been stolen... I have nothing to lose, except you brothers." Zhao Zongqing sighed at himself, couldn't help laughing wryly, and blushed. His eyes gradually filled with a death-like loneliness.

Seeing this, Mo Zhuifeng wanted to speak out to comfort him.Zhao Zongqing immediately got up and turned his back to Mo Zhuifeng, and raised his hand to signal him not to say more.

Looking at Zhao Zongqing's lonely back, Mo Zhuifeng felt that he was in pain.He really wanted to say something to comfort the young master, but he knew that what was lost was what was lost, so it was useless to say anything.How can those deep pains in the heart be healed by someone else's few words?Just because his mother was humiliated and murdered by the golden man, he was in great pain, not to mention the young master, the young master has carried too many heavy things since he was a child.

Mo Zhuifeng swore in his heart again and again that he would swear allegiance to the young master in this life, no, it should be said that he would be life after life.Life after life, he was willing to kneel at the young master's feet, let him order, and worked as a cow or a horse for him, and he was willing to do it.

After hearing the sound of closing the door, Zhao Zongqing in the room clenched his fists fiercely, and the lonely emotion in his eyes turned into bone-piercing resentment.A drop of tear suddenly ran down his cheek, but there was a sneer of disdain at the corner of his mouth.

Zhao Zongqing sat down beside the bed, and took out a half-worn handkerchief from under the pillow. This was his only old handkerchief, and a corner of the handkerchief was embroidered with lotus.But compared to those brand new lotus handkerchiefs that he often uses, the lotus flowers on this square handkerchief are the most exquisite.Because the lotus flowers on those new handkerchiefs are just imitated from the embroidery on this old handkerchief.Zhao Zongqing stroked the lotus embroidery, laughed, and suddenly turned cold.

His hand holding the handkerchief trembled slightly, and he threw the handkerchief on the couch as if it was stained with something dirty.After Zhao Zongqing wandered around the house several times with his hands behind his back, he squinted at the old handkerchief he had left on the couch, turned around and hurried out.

Cui Tao flattened the two lotus handkerchiefs and placed them on the table for a closer look.

This material is high-quality silk and satin fabric, which can only be found in a rich family like Han Zong.Lotus handkerchiefs were found at the scene of Su Yuwan's death and on the body of Yanzi, a woman in black clothes.One of the two handkerchiefs was stained with blood and the other was stained with oil, both of which had been used and thrown away.

The horse dung at the scene of Su Yuwan's death also shows that there were noble people at that time.

At that time, it was impossible to guess who the owner of such a good handkerchief was, but now he can boldly assume that this person is Zhao Zongqing.

Cui Tao looked at the lotus embroidery pattern on Pajiao, and rubbed her chin to ponder.

Most of the handkerchiefs embroidered with flowers are for women, and Zhao Zongqing doesn't look feminine, why does he like to use this kind of embroidered handkerchiefs?Cui Tao thought that his personality was a bit weird, could it be that Zhao Zongqing is still a master of women's clothing?It doesn't seem like it.

When Taoist saw him for the first time, Zhao Zongqing looked like a completely different person.She once sent people to the Taoist temple to inquire about it, and they all said that Zhao Zongqing had a habit of imitating the abbot of the Taoist temple.But the Zhao Zongqing she saw at that time was definitely not imitating the abbot, but probably imitating another person.

At this time, Wang Siniang brought tea to the door, and Cui Tao called Wang Siniang to look at the handkerchief.

"This kind of embroidered handkerchief is usually used by women. If I see a man with it, I will probably think that it was given by a woman."

Wang Siniang's casual remark gave Cui Tao an idea.

At night, Han Qi quietly jumped into Cui Tao's room through the back window. He was already familiar with the road, and he was not as shy as he was at the beginning.

"When Zhao Zongqing was thirteen years old, he lived in his cousin's house for a while, and his aunt's nephew, Mrs. Wang, also lived there temporarily. Later, this Mrs. Wang was selected into the palace and was named a beauty. She was once very favored , but unfortunately died of a sudden illness three months later."

"What disease?"

Han Qi shook his head, how could he easily inquire about the affairs in the deep palace.

"According to people who Wang Mei knew well before her life, she likes lotus very much, and she loves to embroider lotus on the corner of her handkerchief the most. She also loves plum, but her love for lotus is not as deep as that."

Han Qi remembered very clearly that after Cui Tao's fake death, when Zhao Zongqing comforted him, he once said that the person he liked was gone.It seems that this beauty Wang was originally Zhao Zongqing's sweetheart, but later entered the palace.Coupled with the four words 'explosive illness and death', it is too easy for people to figure out a big drama in their minds.

New enmity plus old grievances.

The Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival is lively.
