"Miss." Bing Tang carried a tray and placed it on the square table in the outer room. Then, she went into the inner room, pulled up the curtains, and hung them on the crabapple flower hooks.
Qin Yining asked, "What time is it now?"
"Miss, it's already early morning."
"I actually slept for so long?"
"That's right. Miss hasn't slept so deeply in a long time. Wang Ye even said that he didn't want this servant to wake you up and let you sleep until you woke up naturally." Bing Tang giggled as she put on a small jacket for her. Then, she gently pushed the long hair that was pressed under the jacket to the outside. "Miss, did Wang Ye do anything to you last night …"
"Bad girl." Qin Yining blushed as she glared at Bing Tang.
Bing Tang laughed even more happily.
When Ji Yun and Qiu Lu heard Qin Yining get up, they also came in to help her wash up and comb her hair. Although they didn't ask directly like Bing Tang, their expressions were somewhat mocking.
Qin Yining calmly pretended that she didn't see anything. She picked up a pair of pearl lilac glasses from the jewelry box and put them on. Then, she asked in a low voice, "Where's Little Wang Ye?"
Bing Tang said in a low voice, "Wang Ye woke up before the sun rose. After eating breakfast and taking medicine, this servant changed the bandages for Wang Ye. Wang Ye saw that you were sleeping deeply, so he didn't wake you up. He said that he had to arrange for the four Jinghu Wei and went out through the back window. "
Qin Yining nodded. She knew that he was going to arrange for the imperial bodyguards for her father.
Although Pang Xiao was from Great Zhou, and he had arranged his personal guards to protect the Military Advisor of Yan Dynasty in the middle of a war, which would definitely cause a backlash from his subordinates, Qin Yining believed that Pang Xiao would be able to handle it well.
As usual, Qin Yining, together with Eighth Miss and Qin Huining, went to pay respects to the old madam. They also chatted with the members of the Sun Clan for a while before returning to the Master's Study.
She did not go out the entire day and waited in the Master's Study. Who knew that Pang Xiao did not come back even when the sky turned dark. Instead, Mu Jinghu came.
"Fox was just about to come back, but there was an emergency ahead. He took Huzi and left in a hurry. Let me apologize to you. I'll visit you again when I have the chance. " Mu Jinghu calmly observed Qin Yining's expression. As if he was afraid that she would be angry with Pang Xiao, he hurriedly explained himself.
"Don't blame him. He had no choice. He was bullied badly by their emperor. It's not easy to come and see you. He took the risk to come here. Not only does he have to be watched by the Dayan, there are also many spies in the Zhou Dynasty who are watching his movements. This time, it seems that the people in Da Zhou discovered that he left his post without permission and are suspected of colluding with the enemy. "
When Mu Jinghu said this, he was a little worried himself. He continued, "I think that the imperial court in Da Zhou is not much better. They attack each other and do not care about the safety of the country. They are very good at framing capable officials."
How could Qin Yining not know that Pang Xiao was in a difficult position? She was already very touched that he took the risk to come here. How could she blame him for this?
However, after hearing Mu Jinghu's words and knowing that Pang Xiao's situation in the Zhou Dynasty was so awkward, she became even more worried.
"Young Master Mu, can you tell me about his situation in Da Zhou?"
Mu Jinghu was afraid that Fox's sudden departure would anger Qin Yining and delay his search for a wife. Therefore, when he heard Qin Yining's question, he was naturally willing to take the opportunity to tell Qin Yining about Fox's difficulties.
Mu Jinghu told him what he knew.
"When you were in Dayan, you saw how he led his troops and rampaged around. You thought that he had elite soldiers under his command, prestige in the army, and fame outside, and that he was indeed very impressive. However, you did not know that he was actually suppressed by their emperor. Back then, their emperor Li Qitian, Marquis North Pacifying Ji Zeyu, and Fox became sworn brothers. You know about this, right? "
Qin Yining nodded. "This matter is known to the whole world."
"But you definitely don't know why my martial uncle gave the three of them the order. It happened to be a chaotic time. The demon fox came to the mortal world to cause chaos and destroy the destiny of the previous dynasty. The three malefic stars, Tan Lang, Qi Sha, and Po Jun, assisted the Emperor Star of Ziwei to reach the top and created a world of peace.
"This Tan Lang landed in the northern grasslands. As for Po Jun, Qi Sha, and the Emperor Star of Ziwei, they should be with Li Qitian, Ji Zeyu, and Fox. "
"You … you said that your martial uncle gave them the order? You are Tian Jizi's martial nephew? "Qin Yining was very surprised.
Mu Jinghu covered his mouth. His face was blank, and he looked as if he had swallowed a raw egg.
He had let it slip!
For the sake of Fox's wife, he had even revealed his own identity …
Seeing his expression, Qin Yining immediately said in an extremely understanding manner, "Young Master Mu, don't worry. Since you are being honest with me, I will definitely not reveal your identity. Only you and I will know what Young Master Mu said today. "
Mu Jinghu looked at Qin Yining's sincere eyes and nodded slowly. He said, "Alright, then I will believe you. Anyway, you won't know that my martial uncle and I are actually …" He stopped abruptly.
Mu Jinghu hit his head.
In his excitement, he almost blurted out, "My martial uncle and I are actually master and disciple".
Mu Jinghu awkwardly changed the topic. He said, "After my martial uncle gave them the order, they thought that they would be able to achieve meteoric success. However, when Li Qitian ascended the throne, my martial uncle hurriedly left. Can you guess why? "
Qin Yining's brain was already spinning rapidly. His expression immediately became serious. He lowered his voice and said, "Could it be that Pang Zhixi is the Emperor Star of Ziwei?"
Mu Jinghu said in surprise, "How did you think of that? How are you so smart! "
He was as cunning as a fox!
Qin Yining knew that he could not speak half-heartedly when dealing with the somewhat slow-witted Young Master Mu. He had to be blunt. Since he had already revealed that he was Tian Jizi's martial nephew, he could not hide anything either.
"This is what Young Master Mu said just now. Young Master Mu said that Zhixi's situation in Da Zhou was difficult, and you also mentioned the Tian Jizi's order. Then, the reason why Emperor Zhou wanted to make things difficult for Zhixi was one of the reasons. In addition, Young Master Mu mentioned the order of the three stars, Pojun, Qisha, and Ziwei. The answer is self-evident. I have always heard that Li Qitian is cautious and suspicious. He is calm and thinks a lot. Why would an emperor develop a suspicious personality? There is only one reason, and that is because he has a guilty conscience. "
Qin Yining narrowed his eyes and said, "He did not obtain the throne properly. Naturally, he would be worried day and night that someone would replace him. It seems like everyone wants to scheme against him."
Mu Jinghu gave him a thumbs up in admiration. "That's why they say that people of the same family will not enter the same house. You and the fox are both equally smart. It is indeed so. When my martial uncle found out that the real Emperor Star of Ziwei did not ascend the throne, he fled. Perhaps you knew all this before, or perhaps you did not. However, what you should know is that after the Pojun Star ascended the throne, he was naturally afraid of the Emperor Star of Ziwei's retaliation. "
