Qin Yining and Pang Xiao also received the same news at this time.
"This news …" Qin Yining's slender and fair hand twirled the embroidery needle in her hair. She lowered her eyes and mended the sleeve that Pang Xiao had scratched. "I don't think it's true."
Pang Xiao snatched the needle and thread from her hand. "Let them do it later. You don't have to do it. Be careful not to tire your eyes." He leaned to the side and picked up a palm-leaf fan, fanning her with moderate strength. Then he said, "The area around the old capital of the Yan Dynasty is tightly surrounded. His Majesty has already dug three feet into the ground to search. Although he didn't find any treasures, it's impossible for him to watch people transport the things away. I think someone must have purposely leaked the news. "
Qin Yining had just found a worker to do it when she was stopped. She helplessly took a fan and said lazily, "Maybe Your Majesty wants to observe your performance. Or maybe it's a trap."
"It's not just Your Majesty." Pang Xiao pondered and blurted out what was in his mind.
Qin Yining thought for a moment and said, "That's right. Maybe someone else did it. We don't know."
After all, Pang Xiao wasn't just a
Your Majesty was a strong opponent. There were many people who didn't like him.
Pang Xiao saw that her expression was natural. She couldn't even sit comfortably because of her swollen abdomen. She could only lean against the pillow in a comfortable position. The weather was hot, and it was more tiring for her. Her hands and feet were a little swollen.
How could Pang Xiao have the heart to let her work so hard on these things?
Therefore, he kept his speculation about Lu Heng in his heart and didn't say it out loud.
Ever since he noticed that Lu Heng's feelings towards Qin Yining seemed to be getting more and more paranoid, he became more vigilant. However, Qin Yining hadn't done anything wrong from the beginning to the end. He didn't want to blame her because of an outsider's inappropriate thoughts and actions. After all, she didn't want things to turn out this way either.
"What should we do now?" Qin Yining asked. "I think that regardless of whether this news is true or not, it must be a trap. Do you have a countermeasure? "
Pang Xiao smiled. "I was just about to ask you. What do you think?"
When Qin Yining saw the look on his face, he couldn't help but raise his chin and say arrogantly, "You have so many strategists under your command. Why do you have to make things difficult for a woman who only knows how to embroider?"
Pang Xiao couldn't help laughing at her pretty appearance. He hugged her shoulder and kissed her forehead, which made Qin Yining blush and push him away.
"It's broad daylight and there are screens hanging on the windows. What are you doing?"
Pang Xiao saw her appearance and was in a good mood. He hugged her and kissed her loudly. Then he said contentedly, "You, you only know how to be humble. I have never seen a second 'woman who only knows how to embroider' who can survive in such a difficult environment. In terms of resourcefulness, you don't lose to my strategists. "
"Then go ask your strategists. Right now, I'm only responsible for the two in my stomach. I don't care about anything else. "
"Good, good, good. You've worked so hard. I won't ask you. However, I think that since this matter is strange, we shouldn't do anything. We should just live our lives normally. Anyways, there are people who are worried about the treasure. No matter who set this trap, we just don't step into it. "
Qin Yining smiled and nodded. "I think so too. No matter what they do, we just won't take it. "
Pang Xiao reached out with his index finger to scratch her nose. Just as he was about to tease her, he saw Xian Yun come in.
"Wang Ye, Princess Consort. There's a crippled monk with a pockmarked face outside the door. He said that his divination is especially accurate. He knows that Princess Consort is pregnant and specially came to divine the future heir. "
Qin Yining laughed when he heard this. "This divination, he knows that I'm pregnant with the heir before he even sees me?"
Xian Yun couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. "Do you want him to divine which one you're pregnant with is the heir?"
Her amusing words made Pang Xiao and Qin Yining laugh.
After laughing, Pang Xiao said seriously, "Our situation is special now. It's not suitable for us to meet outsiders. If the other party has the slightest bit of ill intent, we can't guard against it. Xian Yun, go tell the people outside to not neglect this great master and to treat him well. Since the great master's divination is accurate, then he can divine clearly even through a few courtyard walls. "
Xian Yun smiled and bowed. "Yes, this servant will go now."
Qin Yining also instructed, "You're all in the jianghu, and it's not easy to survive. It's convenient for you to do more. It's also for the sake of the future heir."
"Yes." Xian Yun responded again and went to the outer courtyard.
Qin Yining sat up and wanted to put on her shoes. Pang Xiao immediately took the soft-soled embroidered shoes and helped her put them on.
"What are you doing? Aren't you going to lie down for a while? "
"My bones are sore from resting all the time. My hands and feet are swollen and uncomfortable. Maybe I'll feel better after walking."
"Then I'll accompany you."
Pang Xiao turned around and took a paper umbrella, then followed Qin Yining.
Seeing Wang Ye accompanying the Princess Consort for a walk, Bing Tang and Ji Yun also called a servant girl from the corridor to follow behind the two from a distance.
Pang Xiao opened the paper umbrella to shade Qin Yining from the sun and said with a smile, "After a while, I'll build a swing for you in the courtyard. Although you can't play now, you can play with the child in the future. I plan to move a grape trellis over to the corridor over there. When summer comes, you can cool down under it and see the strings of purple. It'll be interesting to look at. "
Qin Yining smiled and nodded. She held Pang Xiao's arm and looked up at him. "You've been spending so much time with me recently. Is there something you need to do at home?"
"Of course there's something. Isn't it just to accompany you? "Pang Xiao's smile was very gentle.
Qin Yining was dazzled by his smile. She couldn't help but think that a man's charm could also mislead people. Amused, she said, "Don't you have anything else to do other than accompany me?"
"Silly girl, I don't want anything right now. I just want my wife and child to warm the kang bed. That's all. Right now, I only want to have no peace of mind. I don't want to do anything other than protect you. Letting you and your child be safe and sound is our family's fortune. Other things can't move my heart at all right now. " Pang Xiao tilted the paper umbrella. The sunlight shone down and was very strong. He didn't want Qin Yining to feel uncomfortable.
Qin Yining laughed out loud when he heard this and said, "Don't worry. Our entire family has placed such importance on my pregnancy, so how could there be anything that would not go according to our wishes? But you guys are so serious. It makes me feel very pressured. What if the child I give birth to isn't what you guys want? "
"What isn't Ru Yi? It's either a boy or a girl. I like both sons and daughters. Of course, if you can give birth to two daughters, I'll like it the most. "Pang Xiao laughed as he spoke.
Seeing his rare dazed expression, Qin Yining couldn't help but laugh as well.
"I don't know why you like daughters so much."
"It'll be great to have a daughter. She'll be smart and beautiful like you. " Pang Xiao hugged Qin Yining's shoulder, but he didn't dare to put all his weight on her shoulder. He only raised his arm and hugged Qin Yining. "In the future, I'll teach her martial arts so that even the son-in-law can't bully her."
Qin Yining nodded and said, "I think my father thought the same way back then."
Pang Xiao looked at Qin Yining's serious face and couldn't help but feel his heart itch. His smile became even gentler.
The two strolled around like this for a while. Qin Yining returned to his room as usual. Pang Xiao took advantage of Qin Yining's lunch break to go to the study. When Qin Yining woke up, he was guarding by her side again.
The entire day passed in the blink of an eye. When the sky was dyed with the beautiful sunset, there was a burst of voices outside the door. Not long after, Xian Yun and Ji Yun came in side by side and bowed together.
"Wang Ye, Wang Fei."
"What is it?" Qin Yining asked with a smile.
Xian Yun handed over a piece of paper that was folded into a square. "Wang Fei, this is the result that the great master calculated this morning."
Qin Yining stilled. It had already been a day. She had already forgotten about the existence of that great master. Even Pang Xiao didn't take this person seriously.
Qin Yining was just about to unfold the paper when Pang Xiao took the paper first. He stood up and walked a little further away to unfold the paper. He asked casually, "Why did he only send the paper now? Didn't he come early in the morning? "
Xian Yun said, "That great master said that he had to spend a lot of effort to calculate. He had two meals and a snack in our residence. He even wrapped up the leftovers and took them away. Also, that great master might be a fake monk because he eats meat. The residence served him Dongpo Pig Knuckle at noon. He ate one in a few bites. "
Could this great master be a swindler?
Pang Xiao looked at the contents of the paper. After making sure that it wasn't poisoned, he returned to Qin Yining's side.
"What's written on it?"
Qin Yining took the paper and looked at it. The handwriting was crooked, just like when a child first learned to write. He could barely recognize that it was words.
The content was concise.
The first sentence said, "Extremely noble people are protected by purple clouds. If you live in the residence, you will be safe and sound."
At the bottom, it said,
"Pitiful Bi Kexiu, the southern picture rolls the clouds and water, the northern arch wears the Heavenly Han. How magnificent is the strategy of the Minister of History. I am willing to fight the rebellion with you. "
Qin Yining looked at it carefully for a long time before he could distinguish the crooked words clearly. "This great master's handwriting is really similar to mine when I was in the mountains."
Pang Xiao also smiled. "The part below seems quite familiar."
Qin Yining looked at it carefully again and couldn't help but murmur. Immediately, his expression changed. He slapped the table and said, "Quick, go and catch that monk. He is a Tian Jizi!"
Xian Yun and Ji Yun were both shocked. Pang Xiao didn't doubt it and immediately ordered Huzi to take people to chase after the monk.
After they left, Pang Xiao said, "How did you know?"
Qin Yining said, "This is Du Zimei's poem. There are two sentences missing. The first sentence is' Pitiful Bi Kexiu, 'the next sentence should be' The mysteries of heaven are clear. 'The first sentence of' I am willing to fight the rebellion with you 'should be' Drive the young masters. 'If the handwriting is like this, why would it cut out a part of Du Zimei's poem for no reason, and it just so happens that the two sentences' The mysteries of heaven are clear 'and' Drive the young masters' are missing? "
Although Pang Xiao studied the art of war and was good at planning and planning, it was not difficult for him to fight one hundred enemies on the battlefield. His method of arranging troops and setting up battle formations was even more terrifying. But in terms of knowledge, he really couldn't compare to Qin Yining. After all, Qin Yining had learned from Xi Bin and Qin Huaiyuan.
