Chapter 60
Qin Rong is Qingguang Temple where she hides her identity and accompanys Yingying to.
When the carriage reached the foot of the mountain, Yingying lifted the curtain and saw many people walking up the mountain. She couldn't help but curious: "Why are so many people walking on the stone steps today?"
Obviously, when she and Xiaodai came a few times ago, no one was willing to leave the stone steps.
Qin Rong looked out with Yingying, "It was probably because of the Northwest War."
Since General Zhang Peng led his troops to the northwest, the northwest chaos has not only not been quelled, but has tended to become more and more intense. Zhang Peng was violent and eager to make contributions. He tried to suppress the chaos several times and turned out to be counterproductive. The two battles with Haowen Pingsha ended in failure. The news came to the imperial city and the military headquarters were recruiting troops recently.
Yingying understood, and her mind was a little heavy.
Yingying didn't care about the war in the northwest in her previous life. The reason why she could remember that several generals died in the war in the northwest was because the incident was too sensational at that time, Qin Rong did not return to the East Palace for several nights.
Without Qin Rong looking at her, Yingying sneaked out of the palace when she was bored and happened to see the army escorting the bodies of several generals back. At that time, the people were wailing all over the city. Even if Yingying didn't know the sufferings of the world, she remembered the shock that the imperial city brought to her at that time.
I don’t know how many people will die in the Northwest Rebellion in this life.
Thinking of the imperial city full of mourning banners in his previous life, Yingying also decided to walk to Qingguang Temple. Qin Rong put on more clothes on her body. When she got out of the carriage, she looked at the endless stone steps and said, "Yingying, you have thought, this is not something you can walk up in a short time."
Yingying heard Qin Rong's unexpected words and said dissatisfied: "Stop looking down on others in the third brother. The previous few times I and Xiaodai came, I walked up the mountain. It was still summer at that time. I was so hot that I was sweating all over my head."
"Is that right?" Qin Rong held the scene lightly. He praised Yingying while helping her tie her clothes and straps, "Yingying is so amazing."
He really didn't know that Yingying had been walking up the mountain the previous few times, so it was hard for her to walk so many ways because of her spoiledness.
After Yingying was praised, she didn't feel any sense of accomplishment. She always felt that Qin Rong was perfunctory. She pulled Qin Rong away, and Yingying took Qin Rong a few steps up the stone steps. She looked back at the handsome man standing there, looking up and down at the provocation: "The stone steps are long and hard to walk, and the third brother is not strong enough to do anything, so he will follow Yingying closely later."
Thinking that Qin Rong could not walk for a while and begged her to walk slowly, Yingying became happy and finally found Qin Rong's weakness.
Qin Rong was not annoyed after being despised. He smiled and nodded and replied: "Okay."
Then the man was really following her, his face was not blushing, his heart was not beating, and his steps were steady. However, Yingying started to run and jump too excitedly. When she walked slowly and slowly, her steps were floating. When she stepped on the last step, she was helped by Qin Rong.
"Be careful." Standing at the gate of Qingguang Temple, Qin Rong held Yingying's little hand.
Yingying looked up at Qin Rong and said in confusion: "Why are you doing nothing?"
Qin Rong also brought two personal guards up, one named Zuo Zhu and the other named You Yang. They were both top-notch and would not take this mountain road seriously. Yingying knew herself and she could not compare to these two people and was willing to admit defeat, but she was not convinced that she could not compare to Qin Rong, a noble son who needed to be protected by others.
Seeing Yingying's doubts, Qin Rong leaned close to her and explained in a low voice in her ear: "Although the third brother can't fight, he always has physical strength."
Even though she knew that Yingying was good at martial arts and liked to make trouble, if her husband couldn't even keep up with her physical strength, Qin Rong would really not be able to control Yingying.
“…”
Although Qin Rong and Yingying came in plain clothes, Qin Rong had been to Qingguang Temple before. The monks in the temple knew his face and the host quickly came to pick him up.
When she arrived at Qingguang Temple, Yingying donated money for incense and oil to worship Buddha as usual. This time she not only asked the Buddha to bless her family with peace, but also hoped that the war in the northwest would end as soon as possible.
The system heard her prayer and joked: [The host is really becoming more and more like a person.]
Yingying laughed, "Although I know you are praising me, I still feel uncomfortable."
After not coming for a while, Master Jingshan made many pills with her herbs. These pills were originally taken away when Yingying ran away, but unfortunately, the plan changed at that time, so Yingying couldn't come to get these pills. Now, fortunately, she didn't put the medicine in advance, otherwise the risk would be great.
This time, Master Jingshan came here and told her good news. He found several detoxification methods by studying the sachets left to her by Zhaoshi, and was experimenting one by one.
"Really?" This news was too surprising to Yingying, and she couldn't believe it for the moment.
"Amitabha, monks do not lie." Master Jingshan smiled, "It's just that some of the herbs come from foreign lands, and the donor needs some effort to find them."
Yingying took the prescription given by Master Jingshan, looked carefully and released it closely, "Yingying will definitely find these medicinal materials as soon as possible."
Master Jingshan nodded and returned the sachet to her when Yingying left, "Please take it back, this sachet is useless to me."
Yingying took it in a moment of panic, and when she saw the sachet, she quickly remembered Zhao Shi.
After Zhao Shi went to the southwest, she wrote to him many times to explain the affairs of Concubine Baoxia, but no response was made to each letter. A few days ago, she sent another letter and asked him if he was safe. However, Shi Chendahai still did not respond to the letter. Xiaodai secretly asked and told her that Zhao Shi had arrived in Luo'an safely.
He had already left Luo'an safely, but he never replied to Yingying. Yingying couldn't believe that this man was really cruel to break off relations with her. She thought to herself that maybe Zhao Shi had not received the letter.
Well, he must have not received her letter.
He is as handsome as Zhao Shi. Every time he quarreled with her, he would say that he would be incompatible from now on, but he would not be able to do anything. As a result, as long as Yingying took the initiative to find him, the man would be out of breath immediately.
Putting the sachet on your waist, Yingying said softly: "You must be safe and safe, too."
The northwest and the southwest are far apart. I think the war in the northwest cannot affect the southwest, so Zhao Shi will definitely be his idle prince.
When Yingying went to find Qin Rong, Qin Rong was drinking tea with the old host in the wing room.
Waiting for Qin Rong to come out, she went to ask for a sign for free, but everything went wrong and the sign for a sign. The system disliked: [You are still so unlucky.]
Yingying put the bamboo stick back and was about to say something, the system exclaimed: [This is not accurate. Once you ask for your brother's mission progress bar, it actually moved. This is obviously a good thing.]
Thinking the system deliberately teased her, Yingying didn't take the system's words seriously. On the way back, Yingying was in a particularly good mood because of Master Jingshan's words. Qin Rong glanced at the sachet on her waist and asked with a smile: "Why are you so happy?"
Yingying would not be so stupid that she told him the truth. She leaned into Qin Rong's arms and kissed his chin, and said casually: "It's rare to come out, so I feel good."
Qin Rong hugged her and hugged the person in his arms, without asking any more questions.
The carriage was moving forward slowly. Yingying spent too much energy climbing up the mountain and fell asleep within a short while on the way back to the city. She slept soundly in Qin Rong's arms. She was awakened by the noise outside for a while. She cried out for a few times. She buried her head in Qin Rong's nest and rubbed her eyes, reminding her: "Xiao Dai is still waiting for us in Jinghe Restaurant."
Don't forget her.
Qin Rong casually played with the sachet on her waist, responded when she heard Yingying's words, and ordered Youyang to drive the car to Jinghe Restaurant to pick up Xiaodai.
Xiaodai had been waiting for them in Jinghe Restaurant for a long time. She sat by the spacious window and turned pale. There were some words and pastry bags piled up on the table, staring blankly outside the window and wondering what she was thinking.
Seeing Qin Rong's carriage coming, she was shocked and came back to her senses. After sorting out her emotions, she carried things onto the carriage. Xiaodai saw her master yawning in the prince's arms, and her anxious expression flashed by and was quickly covered up.
"What good things have you bought?" Yingying was tired of Qin Rong's arms for a while before looking up at Xiaodai.
Xiaodai said with a reluctant smile: "I have been shopping for a day and bought some interesting things for the Empress. I will tell you one by one when I return to the palace."
Yingying sighed and said, "I forgot to tell you before, I want to eat the rose cake from the restaurant in Chengnan. Now it must be sold at this time."
This is actually a code word between Xiaodai and Yingying. Rose pastry cake refers to the bag they hid on the lakeshore. If Xiaodai successfully gets back the bag, he will go to the south of the city to buy rose pastry cake, otherwise he will not buy it.
Xiaodai yelled, but unfortunately said, "It's not good for me. I really forgot to buy the cake for the Empress."
It seems that I didn't get it.
Yingying's mood became heavier, and finally looked at Xiaodai seriously. Xiaodai flashed slightly when she met her gaze. Qin Rong was present and the two of them dared not have too much conversation, so they quickly turned their eyes away.
"What happened?" When I returned to the East Palace, Yingying finally talked to Xiaodai while Qin Rong was away.
Xiaodai was really hurt after holding it all the way. She knelt in front of Yingying and said anxiously: "It's all my fault. I don't know that Young Master Qiu has sent troops to search the lakeshore and was almost discovered by them when they went to find the bag."
Yingying is still doing something, "Then have you discovered by them?"
Xiaodai shook her head, "I reacted very quickly. They had never seen my face, but they must have known that it was a woman."
Then this matter is not serious, at least they have not revealed their identities yet.
Yingying was about to comfort Xiaodai and said nothing was wrong, but Xiaodai interrupted her and said, "Empress, the point is not about slaves, but about slaves who were discovered by them while looking for a bag!"
In other words, those people are likely to find the bags they hid, with a large amount of silver notes and jewelry placed in the bags. Most importantly, those jewelry were given to Yingying by Qin Rong.
"It's just a little bit, just a little bit I'll be able to touch the bag." And now that bag may have fallen into Qiu Yu's hands.
Yingying was stunned, and then she realized the seriousness of the matter.
I think Qiu Yu has become suspicious of her, otherwise he would not have expanded the scope of investigation of Jin Mantang while searching for the assassin. Once Qiu Yu sees the bag, he will definitely show it to Qin Rong, and he will not be able to cover anything by then.
"Get up first." Yingying helped Xiaodai up.
If nothing unexpected happens, the bag will be delivered to Qin Rong tomorrow at the latest, so there is not much time left for Yingying.
Yingying thought for a moment and said, "Instead of waiting for the third brother to discover it, I'd better go to him to confess."
This is the worst and most solution to the problem at present. Yingying is glad that Qiu Yu and the others have not caught Chen Xue yet, otherwise if Chen Xue bit her back, she would really jump to the Yellow River and would not be able to wash it.
"Empress..." Xiaodai still felt that this method was too dangerous, but she did not have any other solutions.
The more I thought about it, the more anxious she became. Xiaodai was afraid that Qin Rong would not trust her master and cause a big mess. She stamped her feet and was almost crying. "It's all my fault. If I could be more alert, I wouldn't implicate my master."
Yingying shook her head, "You underestimate Qiu Yu too much. Since he found the shore of the lake, it would be a matter of time before he discovered the bag."
"Don't be afraid, although that matter is ridiculous, the third brother should believe me." It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Yingying's most unsure is that she doesn't know what Qin Rong will react when she learns the truth. Thinking of the golden palace and those thick and long golden chains in her previous life, Yingying was afraid of repeating the same mistakes.
With the courage, Yingying walked to the study room and was about to confess to Qin Rong. The door of the study room was pushed open, and Qin Rong stepped out from inside.
"Three brother..." Yingying ran forward and grabbed his sleeve.
Qin Rong stopped and asked her, "What's wrong?"
"No, nothing is wrong, it's just..." Yingying hadn't figured out what to say.
Seeing that Qin Rong had changed her clothes and was about to go out, she asked carefully: "Where are the third brother going?"
"What happened in the northwest? My father urgently summoned me to the imperial study." He also attached great importance to Yingying enough to stop and listen to Yingying at this time.
Zuo Zhu, who was beside Qin Rong, urged: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has sent someone to urge him twice."
Qin Rong nodded. Seeing that he was still waiting for her to speak, Yingying bit her lips and moved her hand away from Qin Rong's clothes, lowered her head and said, "Then... Yingying waited for the third brother to come back."
The story of Jin Mantang cannot be explained in just a few words. If Yingying chooses to confess at this time, it is a problem whether Qin Rong has the patience to listen to it.
Seeing that Yingying was in a low mood, Qin Rong kissed her forehead before leaving and instructed: "The third brother is afraid he won't be back tonight, so Yingying will rest earlier."
...What happened? He didn't come back all night?
"Empress!"
After Yingying saw Qin Rong away, Xiaodai hurriedly ran over and said, "I just got news from outside that General Zhang Peng died in battle."
