It was destined to be a sleepless night.
When Qin Yining closed her eyes, she could see the bodies of the members of the Sun Clan. The floor was covered in blood, and the heads were hung high in the wooden cage. The pungent smell of blood seemed to be at the tip of her nose. How could she sleep peacefully?
Qin Yining was lost in thought as she stared at the light blue gauze curtain. The candlelight outside the curtain was reflected on the curtain, forming a hazy "cross" halo.
The wind blew the window frame, and the candlelight flickered. She seemed to hear a woman crying.
Qin Yining was shocked. She lifted the curtain and stood on the steps. The crying disappeared again.
The room was filled with unfamiliar furnishings. It was pitch black in the shadows, as if there was a beast hiding there that could pounce on her at any time and devour her.
Qin Yining rubbed her aching forehead and sat on the edge of the bed tiredly. She leaned her head against the bedpost and closed her eyes.
With a creak, Bing Tang pushed the door open and came in with a lamp. He asked worriedly, "Miss, why are you not asleep?"
"What time is it?"
"It's already Yinzheng." Bing Tang placed the lamp on the table, and the room immediately lit up. The beast hiding in the darkness was also driven away by the light.
"Miss, you must be so worried that you didn't sleep the whole night, right?"
"How can I sleep after such a big thing happened?"
Bing Tang put three of her fingers on Qin Yining's wrist. After checking her pulse, she said, "Miss, there's nothing wrong with your body. I'll prepare some appetizers for you later and drink some water. You'll be fine in two days. But do you have any abdominal pain today?"
Qin Yining nodded. "Yes, I do have abdominal pain. My hands and feet are very cold."
"Miss, you had a cold before. Now that your menstrual period is coming, you will naturally have abdominal pain. But don't worry, I will help you adjust your body in the future. In less than a year, you will be cured. Miss, you have a good body. It will not affect your fertility. "
Qin Yining was surprised. "What are you talking about?"
When Bing Tang saw that Qin Yining's brows had finally relaxed, he deliberately joked, "It's just natural etiquette. It's not a bad thing. We, who study medicine, have seen through all of this. We are not those fake Daoists. "
"You're so talkative." Qin Yining had almost forgotten that Bing Tang girls were actually the same age as her.
"Miss, please lie down for a while. This servant will be back soon."
"Thank you." Qin Yining smiled gratefully.
Originally, her mother should have been the one to tell her these things, but she had heard some things from Nanny Zhan and Mother Jin. Now, Bing Tang was taking care of her.
She was glad that she had Bing Tang and Song Lan to accompany her. If she was alone, she wouldn't know what to do.
Not long after, Song Lan and Bing Tang came back together. They helped Qin Yining change her clothes, wash her face, and tidy her up. They also brought over warm rice porridge and a few side dishes to serve her.
With warm porridge in her stomach, Qin Yining felt a little better. Her face was no longer as pale as snow.
"Boss, are you awake?"
Master Zhong's voice came from outside the door.
Qin Yining hurriedly went to open the door.
"Master Zhong. How did it go? "
Master Zhong entered the door. He also looked haggard from not sleeping all night, but there was a smile on his face. "Boss, fortunately, we did not disappoint you. We have already hired four skilled people. They promised us that they would definitely rescue the people. I promised them a reward of five thousand taels of silver each."
"That's good. Thank you, Master Zhong." Qin Yining's heart, which had been hanging in the air all night, could finally be at ease.
She had been tossing and turning all night. She was afraid that no matter how much money she had, she would not be able to buy manpower.
Now that she had manpower, she began to worry that the operation would fail.
Song Lan observed Qin Yining's body language and body language. He helped her sit down and said, "Young Lady, don't worry. We took them by surprise. Madam will definitely be able to turn misfortune into a blessing. It's still early, and you have already made the necessary arrangements. You have already done everything you can. Please go into the room and rest for a while. Only when you have enough energy will you be able to deal with the matter at noon."
Qin Yining understood the principle, but it was difficult to carry out.
When Bing Tang saw Qin Yining like this, he couldn't help but think of himself in the past. His nose felt a little sour. Unfortunately, at this time, they, as servants, could only try their best to take care of Qin Yining. There was nothing else they could do.
Qin Yining sat like this until a quarter past nine in the morning. He really couldn't wait any longer, so he ordered Master Zhong to come in.
"I'll have to trouble Master Zhong to prepare a carriage for me. Just use the one I usually use."
"Boss, are you still planning to go to the execution ground today?"
"Whether it succeeds or not, I want to see the result with my own eyes. If it succeeds, I will return to the fu and continue to quietly be my Family Qin's Young Lady. If it doesn't … "Qin Yining's voice choked up. He forced himself to calm down and said," If it doesn't succeed, I will also return to being my Grand Preceptor's legitimate daughter. "However, no one would be able to stop him from doing what he wanted to do.
Master Zhong heard this and sighed as he nodded.
Things had happened so suddenly. Qin Yining was able to quickly make arrangements and think of countermeasures. He was also able to calm himself and not act impulsively. He didn't want to implicate the entire Family Qin because of worry and resentment. Compared to Qin Yining's actions, the Sun Clan's unprovoked disaster seemed even more foolish.
Master Zhong criticized in his heart. However, he didn't want to criticize his boss's mother in front of her. He just did as he was told.
Qin Yining dressed neatly. Enduring the pain in his lower abdomen, he boarded the carriage with a pale face and headed toward the Meridian Gate.
Grand Preceptor Qin had just succeeded in negotiating peace and Dayan people were still living a peaceful life. However, in the blink of an eye, the Emperor had killed the official's legitimate wife. This news had already spread throughout the capital. Many people had already gone to complain for the Grand Preceptor's wife.
However, an imperial edict had decreed her death. Furthermore, the Grand Preceptor's wife had insulted the Emperor. With the label of "disloyal", who dared to act rashly?
Therefore, the people's petitions and pleas for mercy were all useless at this time.
When noon arrived, the Sun Clan, dressed in snow-white undergarments and with messy hair, was pushed over by the executioner. Their hands were tied behind their backs and their mouths were gagged with rags.
Seeing them come, the surrounding people were in an uproar. Some people pushed and shoved forward.
If it weren't for the Warden's Office and the Ministry of Justice's people who had already made arrangements and formed a circle to block them, they probably would have rushed inside.
Qin Yining brought Bing Tang and Song Lan and stood at the front of the crowd.
When they saw the Sun Clan's dirty face, they couldn't help but cry.
Qin Yining couldn't hold back his tears and shouted, "Mother!"
The young girl's voice was crisp and clear. Coupled with her heartfelt grief, her voice traveled far into the distance.
When the people realized that the person next to them was Grand Preceptor Qin's legitimate daughter, they intentionally moved to the side, as if they were afraid of squeezing her.
The people around them had already seen Qin Yining's appearance clearly.
At this time, everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
No wonder the fatuous ruler ordered Grand Preceptor Qin to bring his legitimate daughter to negotiate.
Young Miss Qin was indeed the daughter of "Wise Pan An".
However, her Family Qin was too tragic!
No matter who in Da Zhou liked Young Miss Qin, Grand Preceptor Qin had sacrificed his daughter for the sake of negotiating peace. In the end, after returning to the country, not only did he encounter an assassination attempt, the fatuous ruler even wanted to kill Grand Preceptor Qin's legitimate wife!
This was simply unreasonable and inhumane!
The commoners became even more agitated and began to shout at the same time.
"What crime did Madam Qin commit? Why did she have to be shown to the public? "
"Grand Preceptor Qin has contributed greatly to the country. Shouldn't the Emperor show mercy?"
"That's right. For Grand Preceptor Qin's sake, he shouldn't have killed his wife!"
… …
The Sun Clan's mother was kneeling on the stage. When she saw Qin Yining being stopped by the soldiers of the Five Cities Warden's Office, she couldn't stop her tears from flowing down. As she struggled, she repeatedly shook her head at Qin Yining, as if she had something to say to Qin Yining. However, because her lips were pouted, she couldn't say anything and could only anxiously cry.
When Qin Yining saw her mother like this, she couldn't care less about reason. She pushed away the soldiers in front of her and was about to charge forward. However, this was an execution ground after all. No matter how strong Qin Yining was, she was still a woman. She was pulled back by the soldiers and thrown into the crowd, where she fell to the ground.
"Young Miss Qin, we respect Grand Preceptor Qin. Please reconsider your actions! This is an important execution ground. You can't just barge into it! "
Qin Yining gritted her teeth and stood up with the help of Bing Tang and Song Lan.
There were so many soldiers, but she had only found four people. Could she succeed?
At this moment, the crowd of onlookers surged again. It was as if someone was pushing and shoving from behind, pushing the people in front a few steps forward.
Only then did Qin Yining realize that there were a few tall men around her. These people were dressed like ordinary people. They looked ordinary, but their bodies were very strong.
Qin Yining couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Could it be that she had hired these people? No, they didn't know who the real employer was. They wouldn't come to her side at all.
"It's noon. Begin the execution!" The executioner shouted loudly. The scene instantly fell silent.
The Sun Clan's mother shook her head repeatedly. Snot and tears flowed down her face as she sobbed.
The executioner took the prisoner's token and threw it on the ground. Then, he raised the ghost head knife high.
Qin Yining's heart was in her throat. She looked around for the people she had hired.
At the front of the crowd, there were already more than ten men preparing to rush out.
At this critical moment, there was suddenly a sharp sound of something breaking through the air!
With a "ding" sound, the ghost head knife was broken in half by an arrow. The executioner fell to the ground. The arrow didn't slow down at all. It was nailed to the round log that supported the tent behind the executioner. It sank into the log, leaving only the tail of the arrow visible.
The executioner turned pale with fright. He shouted in shock: "Who dares to cause trouble? Quickly arrest them!"
The ten men who were about to act stopped.
"Show This King's flag. Let them see who I am."
Hearing the familiar voice, Qin Yining turned around in shock.
They saw Pang Xiao, who was wearing a splendid purple python robe and a black mink fur cloak, was sitting upright on a tall and big horse with shiny black fur, leading a dozen or so Valiant Tiger Army soldiers, as if they were pushing the mountain and parting the sea, they walked toward the crowd. The common people on both sides of the street immediately dispersed. The red banner with the character 'Swastika' and the Valiant Tiger Army's black banner with the character 'Swastika' were waving arrogantly in the wind.
Qin Yining, Bing Tang, and Song Lan were protected by a few tall men. They followed the crowd and retreated to the sides, making a path for the sudden arrival of the troops.
Pang Xiao urged his horse forward. He held a large bow in his hand. His eyes were filled with arrogance.
"What? You dare to kill my mother-in-law right after the peace talks! Go ask your emperor if he still wants to start a war. Hm? "
PS:
Pang Xiao: I finally saw Little Bunny! I'm so happy!
