"Eunuch Lu, please get up first." Qin Huaiyuan politely helped Little Lu up with both hands and had him sit down on the round-backed chair next to him. He then sat down across from Little Lu.
Qin Huaiyuan lowered his eyes. His expression was still calm, and no one could tell what he was thinking.
Little Lu was so nervous that he couldn't sit still. Before long, his forehead was covered in sweat. He stood up and said, "Lord Qin, you are Wang Ye's teacher and the person Wang Ye trusts the most. Among the people who came to Dayan, you are the one with the highest status. If you say something, Your Majesty will have to give you some face. Right now, you are the only one who can save Wang Ye's life. "
Qin Huaiyuan smiled and didn't deny Little Lu's words. He only said, "Based on the situation at that time, Wang Ye's life might not be in danger if he entered the palace. He probably had something he wanted Wang Ye and the Princess Consort to do, so he left them behind. "
Qin Huaiyuan actually had a lot of guesses in his heart.
He suspected that Li Qitian was here because of the treasure.
In the past, when Li Qitian investigated the Yuchi Yan, he arranged for people to investigate the Yuchi Yan. This time, he was able to get the Yuchi Yan into the palace because there was an important clue to the emperor emeritus's treasure.
Although the Yuchi Yan was the ruler of a fallen country, he was still the last emperor of Dayan. Li Qitian would definitely think that the Yuchi Yan knew something that others didn't.
Although Da Zhou's government looked glamorous on the surface, the state treasury was actually very tight.
Although he wasn't in charge of the Ministry of Revenue's finances, according to his observations, Da Zhou's money was barely enough to make ends meet. Although they had the financial support of the Lu family, there was no such thing as a free lunch in the sky. If they wanted the Lu family's support, they would have to pay a corresponding price.
Therefore, Li Qitian was determined to get the treasure left behind by the emperor emeritus.
Li Qitian had such intentions. If he planted a seed of doubt in the Yuchi Yan, things would be difficult in the future.
Qin Huaiyuan's mind was very agile. He thought a lot in just a few breaths.
"Little Lu, I understand the situation. I will do my best to think of a way to save the Prince... You should return to the residence and wait for news. "
When Little Little Lu heard this, he looked uneasily at Qin Huaiyuan.
He was afraid that Qin Huaiyuan was just coaxing him. She was afraid that he would continue to pester her, so she sent him away first.
However, he was only a eunuch. In the Great Zhou, there was no place for him to speak, nor did he have the confidence to question the Great Zhou.
This was because he had no other choice but to believe in Qin Huaiyuan.
.. to you, I everything....... . "Little Lu knelt on the ground and respectfully kowtowed three times to Qin Huaiyuan." Lord Qin, good people will be rewarded. You didn't forget the Prince and didn't betray him. Your family will be blessed. "
Qin Huaiyuan was amused by Little Lu. "I know your intentions. You can go back."
"Yes, then this servant will take his leave." Little Lu bowed again and reluctantly left the Family Qin.
Once Little Lu left, the relaxed expression on Qin Huaiyuan's face disappeared without a trace.
He sat upright on the round-backed chair and tapped the lid of the bowl with his right index finger. He didn't know what to do about this matter.
When Qin Yining came in, she saw her father's worried expression.
She gently placed a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup beside Qin Huaiyuan's hand and said with a smile, "Father, why don't you rest for a while?"
Qin Huaiyuan snapped out of his daze and looked at Qin Yining. He laughed and said, "I was just in a daze. What's there to rest for?"
"Father, you don't want to talk about it now. Is it because the matter is very difficult?"
Qin Huaiyuan knew that his daughter wasn't easy to coax. Moreover, this matter would affect the future of the clan and her.
Qin Huaiyuan explained in detail how Yuchi Yan, Li Yanyan, and Gu Chang had been invited into the palace and never came out again.
Finally, he said, "Sister Yi, you're about to get married. If I get involved in this matter, it will inevitably cause other problems. I'm afraid of delaying your marriage. "
Qin Yining finally understood and asked with a smile, "Father, according to what you're saying, shouldn't you be concerned about the safety of the County King of Yan's life?"
"After all, we're master and servant, teacher and student. I don't think I have the heart of stone to watch him die."
"That's right." Qin Yining said with a smile, "Father, you just need to do as you wish. There's no need to think so much. Now that my marriage with Pang Zhixi has been decreed by the emperor, it's a done deal. I'm not afraid of trouble, and I'm not afraid of facing trouble together with you. Why are you still hesitating? "
When Qin Huaiyuan heard this, he smiled with relief.
His daughter really took after him. She was carefree and cheerful and didn't have any dirty thoughts. She was a magnanimous and good child.
Seeing that Qin Huaiyuan didn't say anything, Qin Yining assumed that he still hadn't thought things through. He said, "Father, just do what you want to do. Just like what you advised me to do last time, I trust you. You're smart and you know how to judge the situation. I know you'll do things appropriately.
"After all, we're all Dayan people. The Yuchi Yan have always treated you with respect. If we ignore Little Lu's request and stand by and do nothing, not only will your conscience be affected, but others will also think that we're too heartless."
Qin Huaiyuan smiled and said, "I understand. I'll take care of this matter. You just need to be at ease and prepare for your marriage. "
"Yes, with Father's help, we're halfway done."
Qin Yining and Qin Huaiyuan chatted for a while longer before returning to their rooms and continuing with what they were doing.
The next day, Qin Huaiyuan went to court as usual. Qin Yining didn't pay much attention to it.
Who would've thought that once Qin Huaiyuan entered the palace, he didn't return home that day. Instead, his personal attendant came to the old madam with a worried expression.
"He said that Your Majesty has something important to discuss with Daren. Daren told this lowly one to return home and report to Daren so that the old madam doesn't need to worry."
Qin Huaiyuan was an important official in the imperial court. It was common for him to be asked to stay, so the whole family didn't take it to heart.
However, this indifference only lasted for two days.
Qin Huaiyuan had already stayed in the palace for two nights, but he still hadn't returned.
His personal attendant went to ask around, but he couldn't find any information.
"What should we do? What should we do?" The old madam was so anxious that she started crying. "What if Your Majesty gets angry and injures Brother Meng? What should we do? Those people in the palace have plenty of ways to quietly deal with people! "
When the old madam started crying, the whole family became anxious.
Han Second Young Mistress was originally about to give birth. Now that she was emotional and frightened, she started to act up.
Han Second Young Mistress went to the delivery room to give birth. The Sun Clan and Second Old Mistress went to help.
At this time, the old madam was also pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pan. She was worried about Han Second Young Mistress and even more worried about Qin Huaiyuan.
Qin Yining, Eighth Young Mistress, and Qin Huining stayed by the old madam's side to accompany her.
The next morning, Han Second Young Mistress gave birth to a six jin boy. Qin Han was so happy that he jumped three feet high.
However, Qin Huaiyuan still didn't return home.
Qin Yining was really anxious this time. Just as she was thinking of countermeasures in her room, Bing Tang came in.
