Qin Yining was helped out of the carriage by Pang Xiao. She raised her eyes and looked around. She saw many soldiers from the Capital Barracks separating the two sides of the road, and the official sedans were blocked on both sides.
Your Majesty made such a big scene, but Prince Zhongshun didn't allow the other official sedans to pass. He even made so many soldiers separate the two sides of the road. Obviously, he wanted to show his favor to Prince Zhongshun and let everyone present feel the domineering attitude of Prince Zhongshun.
Qin Yining sneered in her heart. She felt that Li Qitian's methods were becoming more and more petty. She especially liked to play tricks on this kind of thing. She was no different from a woman in the inner courtyard.
Pang Xiao saw that Qin Yining's exquisitely made-up face was a little angry. She smiled and comforted her, "Sister Yi, don't be like this. Don't let others have their way and hurt yourself."
Qin Yining nodded. Ever since she was pregnant, she seemed to be particularly easily affected. This was indeed not good for her health.
She helped Pang Xiao out of the carriage. Qin Yining raised her eyes. Suddenly, she saw a pair of familiar eyes through the crowd.
It was her father!
That pair of eyes, which were very similar to hers, was now full of joy and care. Across the crowd, he stretched his neck and anxiously wanted to see her situation clearly.
Qin Yining's tears suddenly came, and she almost cried on the spot.
Her father was such an outstanding person, like a banished immortal. Now, like thousands of fathers in the world, he was excitedly looking forward to his child.
Seeing that Qin Huaiyuan had lost a lot of weight, Qin Yining felt very guilty in her heart. Something happened to her this time. Her father must be very anxious. Qin Yining knew about the chaotic situation at home, even if others didn't say anything. Her father might have been under all kinds of pressure and still protected her as before.
Qin Yining's tears welled up in her eyes. She wanted to walk to Qin Huaiyuan's side.
Qin Huaiyuan smiled and nodded at her, but waved his hand, indicating that she shouldn't go over.
He could see that his daughter had gone through a lot of hardships. Although she had lost a lot of weight and looked weaker than before, Pang Xiao's attitude towards her was still the same as before. It was obvious that Pang Xiao didn't mind that Qin Yining had been kidnapped to the Tatan at all.
In Qin Huaiyuan's opinion, as long as the couple was of one mind, he would be very satisfied.
Pang Xiao followed Qin's line of sight and saw Qin Huaiyuan.
Although many civil and military officials were present before the court meeting, Pang Xiao thought about it. Anyway, the current situation was already like this. Moreover, with his deployment, Your Majesty would probably deeply hate his faction in the future. Qin Huaiyuan was his father-in-law. With Your Majesty's character, he would definitely divide him into his faction.
Therefore, Pang Xiao didn't avoid it. He simply took Qin Yining's hand and walked towards Qin Huaiyuan.
The crowd couldn't help but look over.
The scene was silent for a moment.
Qin Huaiyuan frowned at first, then figured it out. He looked at Pang Xiao and Qin Yining with a smile.
Qin Xiuyuan pulled Qin Huaiyuan worriedly. "Big brother, this …"
"Don't worry." Qin Huaiyuan comforted him.
At this time, Pang Xiao and Qin Yining had already arrived in front of them. Even the soldiers of the Jingji Guards made way for them.
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao walked side by side to Qin Huaiyuan and saluted together.
"Father."
"Father-in-law."
"Okay, okay, you may rise." Qin Huaiyuan supported them with each hand. He first smiled at Pang Xiao, then looked at Qin Yining and said, "You've lost weight. But it's good that you can come back. "
"Yes. Father, I'm very good. Fortunately, Wang Ye arrived in time this time. Although I experienced a thrilling experience, I'm not seriously injured. "
"That's good, that's good." Qin Huaiyuan smiled and nodded repeatedly.
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao saw Qin Xiuyuan on the side.
"Second uncle."
"Okay, okay. It's good that you're safe. It's good that you're safe." Qin Xiuyuan was also very happy, and his eyes were already red.
Pang Xiao said, "Father-in-law, you don't have to worry. Although Sister Yi was kidnapped and experienced a lot of difficulties, she is smart and strong. She can always turn danger into safety. Now that Sister Yi is three months pregnant, Father-in-law will be able to hold your grandson by the end of the year. "
Qin Huaiyuan and Qin Xiuyuan were both stunned.
Qin Huaiyuan couldn't help but secretly calculate. He was sure that Qin Yining's child was Pang Xiao's. His daughter was not defiled by the Tatan, nor was she disliked by his son-in-law. He immediately nodded happily, and even threw away the immortal aura he had for many years. He laughed and said, "Okay, okay. Let's go home later. We'll eat well. You're too thin like this. "
Qin Xiuyuan also said happily, "Yes, your mother and your second aunt miss you very much."
Qin Yining was a little shy. "How are mother and second aunt? Is everyone at home okay? "
"They're fine, they're fine. You'll know when you go home and see them after the court meeting. "Qin Huaiyuan said with a smile.
Qin Yining smiled and nodded.
The originally heavy atmosphere was diluted by this small talk. Qin Yining was originally a little worried, but when he saw Qin Huaiyuan's natural expression, as if he had a card up his sleeve, and Pang Xiao's calm expression, he thought that since he was pregnant, Pang Xiao would not tell him some things. He must have already made arrangements outside.
Qin Yining's originally worried heart was also half relieved.
While they were talking, Pang Xiao had already instructed the Jingji Guards who were blocking the other officials. "In the future, you don't have to do this kind of thing anymore. Everyone is a loyal subject of Your Majesty. It's just the heads of the departments. Do you want to compete with each other and make our relationship worse? Who ordered you to do this? "
Pang Xiao's words were already accusing the other party of trying to sow discord between him and the other officials. How could the Jingji Guards dare to directly say that this was Your Majesty's order? Immediately, he could only withdraw in embarrassment to avoid causing any more trouble.
The officials who were closer to them vaguely understood something after hearing this conversation. However, they were only ordinary officials after all. They did not want to truly participate in the court battles, so they naturally did not want to speak too much outside. However, if they chatted with trusted relatives behind their backs, or said things like "I'm only telling you, don't tell anyone else." It was inevitable that today's matter would be spread. Pang Xiao's goal would be achieved sooner or later.
This was the first time that Qin Yining had seen a court meeting. Because of Li Qitian's special instructions, Pang Xiao and Qin Yining could only temporarily bid farewell to Qin Huaiyuan and Qin Xiuyuan and wait for Your Majesty to summon them.
This was not the first time that Qin Yining had faced such an urgent situation, but it was the first time that she did not participate. Pang Xiao was worried about her health and did not allow her to participate in anything. Qin Yining also did not know what was going on. Although she trusted Pang Xiao, she was still very worried.
Feeling that her palms were sweaty, Pang Xiao could not help but take her hands and wipe them on his imperial court robes.
"Don't be afraid. Nothing will happen. I will definitely protect you and our family. "
Qin Yining smiled bitterly. "Of course I believe you. However, the current situation does not seem optimistic. You are not willing to tell me anything. I don't know anything, so of course I will be worried."
Pang Xiao chuckled and said: "Alright, I already said that you will follow me in the future. Just focus on enjoying your life. There is no need to worry about these things. Isn't it good that I have taken care of everything? "
Of course, Qin Yining felt that this was very good. But when she thought of the present situation, it was impossible for her to not care at all.
Just as Qin Yining frowned and did not speak, and Pang Xiao was worried and wanted to come forward to comfort her, the eunuch's voice suddenly came from the outside.
"Your Majesty has decreed that the Prince Zhongshun and Wang Fei are summoned to court to discuss politics!"
"This subject obeys." Pang Xiao helped Qin Yining straighten her clothes. He pulled her hand close to his lips and kissed it. He said: "Don't worry. Trust me."
Qin Yining looked at him and nodded solemnly.
Now that things had come to this point, she couldn't afford to be overcautious. No matter if they succeeded or failed, they were together.
The two of them followed the eunuch all the way to the Hall of Political Harmony. Inside, the eunuch's voice was loud and sharp. It traveled far out of nowhere, and in the spacious hall, it shook people's eardrums.
Not long after, the eunuch's voice came from inside the hall: "Prince Zhongshun and Wang Fei are summoned for an audience!"
Pang Xiao pulled Qin Yining's hand and patted it. Then he turned and walked up the stairs before her. His steps were steady as he walked into the hall.
Qin Yining looked at the hall and took a deep breath. His gaze then landed on Pang Xiao's tall back. He smiled and slowly followed.
The atmosphere in Zhenghe Hall was very tense. There was a faint murderous aura.
The arrival of Pang Xiao and Qin Yining did not ease this atmosphere. Instead, it made the situation almost tense.
After Qin Yining entered the hall, she lowered her eyes. She displayed all the etiquette she had learned from the etiquette instructor. She did not want anyone to find fault with her.
Everyone had seen Pang Xiao many times, but this was the first time they had seen this Pang Xiao's "enemy's daughter" who had stolen by force and then married Pang Xiao's "enemy's daughter." They had been very curious about Qin Huaiyuan's daughter. Now that they had seen her at such a close distance, many people couldn't help but think, "As expected."
If she hadn't been born with such a beautiful appearance, how could Prince Zhongshun have forgotten about revenge?
No matter what, Qin Yining had seen a lot of things. She just ignored the curious and malicious gazes of these people when they stared at her. She followed behind Pang Xiao in a dignified manner. Then, she approached Li Qitian and saluted him.
Li Qitian said with a face full of smiles: "Beloved official, rise."
"Many thanks to Your Majesty." After Pang Xiao stood, she did not forget to turn around and help Qin Yining up.
When the ministers saw this, they had more and more ideas about what to do.
Li Qitian said with a face full of smiles: "This time, I had beloved official come with Wang Fei because of the sudden death of Tatan A Nari Khan. Beloved official, you also know that the current Utejin Khan of Tatan is not letting go of this matter. He insists that it was Consort Prince Zhongshun who killed him. Right now, he is sending cavalry to invade our Da Zhou border. "
Li Qitian looked at Qin Yining and asked gently: "Wang Fei should have an explanation for this matter?"
