Pang Xiao looked at Qin Yining and could not find any words to refute him.
Every time this happened, he hated his situation. Why did he have to face such a helpless situation every time? He did not have much ambition. What he hoped for was that …
Pang Xiao turned around and stroked the loose hair on his forehead in annoyance.
Qin Yining looked at Pang Xiao's tall back and sighed softly. He walked up to him, hugged him from behind, and pressed his face against his shoulder.
"Zhixi, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. I won't risk my life for anything. I can swear to you."
Pang Xiao pressed her soft and delicate body against his stiff body. He pursed his lips, turned around, and hugged her in his arms.
"Sister Yi, I should have let you leave with father-in-law and the others."
Qin Yining's voice was muffled in his arms. He smiled and said, "At that time, none of us could leave. If we left, wouldn't we be alerting the enemy? "
Pang Xiao certainly knew that Qin Yining was telling the truth.
Up until now, every time they encountered danger, they would choose the most appropriate way to deal with it. Many of them were the best way to deal with it at the moment.
Pang Xiao hugged Qin Yining and rearranged the current situation in his mind. Finally, he asked, "What do you plan to do after you go?"
He was finally willing to listen to her plan and did not immediately stop her the moment she opened her mouth.
Qin Yining told him her idea.
"Si Tong has a branch in Huichuan County. I will contact Si Tong after I go. In addition, I will take the opportunity to investigate the local situation and find a way to contact Liu Ban, Guan Dahu, and the others. Now that Your Majesty suddenly decreed that Zhong Yibo will be the county magistrate of Huichuan County, then Guan Dahu and the others will definitely not be able to buy official positions. Whether the money is wasted or not is secondary. The most important thing is that they have a guilty conscience. Once they know that you and Lu Heng are going to take office, they will definitely do something. They will definitely make a move and give me an opportunity to take advantage of it. "
Pang Xiao's eyes lit up when she heard this. She couldn't help but hug Qin Yining and sigh. "Mr. Xu and Mr. Xie have repeatedly praised you as a female Zhuge Liang. Who wouldn't be convinced by this? Even I have to be convinced."
Qin Yining smiled and said, "That's because of the situation. There are too many eyes staring at you. In comparison, it'll be more convenient for me to do things. Let's do what we did when we entered the capital. I'll go and arrange everything. If there's anything we need to do together, I'll contact you. "
Pang Xiao nodded helplessly. "I don't have any other way right now."
Pang Xiao knew the situation he was in. Li Qitian was staring at him, his colleagues were staring at him, and the ministers of the various factions each had their own thoughts. In the past, when Qin Huaiyuan was in the imperial court, he was not only a stabilizing force that could stabilize a portion of the people, but he also had a keen insight into the direction of the wind. Although he had many people in his hands now, those people did not have Qin Huaiyuan's wisdom and sharpness. Many things happened in front of their eyes, but they did not notice.
Therefore, he had to be on guard and pay attention to any movements. He also had to maintain the foundation that Qin Yining had helped him build among the people at all times. He could not let the people doubt or be disappointed in his words and actions.
With his hands and feet tied, there were naturally many things that he could not do. Right now, there was no one else besides Qin Yining who could be so strategic and decisive.
"Forget it." Pang Xiao nodded helplessly. "I only have one request. At any time, your life is the most important thing. You can't do stupid things just to help me fight for something. You have to put your life first."
Seeing that Pang Xiao agreed, Qin Yining said with a smile: "Don't worry, I know."
Pang Xiao was very serious. "Sister Yi, you have to promise me that you will never joke about your life. If you do anything that makes me feel that you are risking your life, I will ask Blockhead to help me send you to Xiyue. "
Qin Yining met Pang Xiao's stern eyes and could not help but nod obediently. "I know. I still want to go back and reunite with my family. I also made clothes for Brother Zhao and Brother Han. I can't bear to leave my family, and I can't bear to leave you. How can I risk my life? I cherish my life very much. "
Pang Xiao hugged Qin Yining tightly and kissed her temples several times: "We have only been together for a short time, and now we have to separate again."
"It's just a temporary separation. Do you want to delay your trip to Huichuan County? I think Zhong Yibo will never set off too late. Your Majesty said to show mercy by saying that we will set off when we are ready. It is just a polite sentence. If you really recover before you leave, the memorials accusing you of delaying the construction of the Imperial Mausoleum will fly like snowflakes. "
Pang Xiao was amused by Qin Yining's words. He rubbed her cheeks with his big hand. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a drop of rain fall on the tip of his nose.
The sky had turned gray at some point, and the rolling clouds were blown by a gust of wind.
Qin Yining smiled and said: "It's raining. Let's go back quickly."
The two held hands and jogged.
The rain poured down before the two of them returned to their room.
Qin Yining was protected by Pang Xiao and carried a lot of rain. When they reached the corridor, the two of them looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh when they saw each other's drenched appearance.
After Qin Yining and Pang Xiao discussed, they prepared to set off.
Pang Xiao arranged Tang Xiu and other Jinghu Wei to Qin Yining. He also sent Xie Yue to Qin Yining.
"Mr. Xie is outstanding in strategy and is good at making decisions. He is also proficient in disguise. With him by your side, I feel more at ease."
Qin Yining persuaded Pang Xiao to leave Mu Jinghu behind to protect her. This time, it was naturally Pang Xiao's arrangement. She agreed to everything. If she disagreed, Pang Xiao would have the idea of placing Mu Jinghu by her side again. Pang Xiao would really have no one to rely on if they encountered any danger.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Huzi, Xu Weizhi, and the other Jinghu Wei, but which ordinary person could have such superb martial arts skills as Mu Jinghu?
Qin Yining made preparations to set off in full swing. To outsiders, he only told them that he was going to buy a house.
This news reached Zhong Yibo's residence. When Bian Ruohan heard the news, he couldn't help but sneer. He slammed an ivory comb on the table.
"Both of us are going to take up the position with our husbands. This madam hasn't thought of what to do yet, but that shameless little whore knows how to show off. Does it show that she knows a lot? Pei! She's just a cheap whore who has been toyed with by countless people! "
When Bian Ruohan scolded, none of the servant girls who served him dared to react. They all lowered their heads and tried their best to reduce their presence.
That day, Madam entered the palace and caused Concubine Zhuang to be scolded by Your Majesty. Later, they were called home by Master to punish them severely. Their calves were still swollen from being whipped with rattan vines. They insisted that Madam had done something wrong and that they, as servants, didn't know how to console her.
But they were just servants. They had no right to speak in front of Madam. What else could they do?
"Uncle."
A servant girl's greeting came from outside the door.
Then, the beaded curtain lifted and Lu Heng walked in quickly. An oil-paper umbrella was placed outside the door. His soft boots were already wet from the rain.
"Uncle, you're back? It's raining outside. You didn't get wet, did you? Why didn't you ask them to follow you? "
Bian Ruohan touched the tasseled hairpin in his hair and quickly walked forward.
Lu Heng didn't even bother to look at him. He only said, "I've already instructed people to prepare the journey. You don't have to trouble yourself."
Bian Ruohan's eyes lit up. "Uncle! Many thanks for Uncle's understanding. This concubine is actually not tired. This concubine is very willing to help Uncle … "
"What I mean is that you don't have to trouble yourself with preparing the journey."
"What!" Bian Ruohan suddenly raised his voice. "You actually, you actually don't plan on bringing me along!"
Lu Heng smiled. "I'm going to take up an appointment. When the time comes, there will be too many things to do. I won't be able to take care of you. Moreover, if you go, you'll have to suffer along with me. You can stay in the capital with peace of mind and be filial to your parents. "
"You, you … don't go too far. Aren't my parents your father-in-law and mother-in-law? You're not even willing to call them that! Moreover, didn't Your Majesty say that we're newlyweds? I … "
Lu Heng waved his hand to stop Bian Ruohan's words. "I think that we should maintain an appropriate distance so that we can maintain the novelty of each other. If we get to know each other too well, I'm afraid that we won't even have any fantasies."
At the banquet, Bian Ruohan's face turned purple and his fists were tightly clenched.
People like Lu Heng didn't even use vulgarities when they were in love. He was clearly mocking him, but every word he said pierced her heart.
Bian Ruohan's tears streamed down. He grabbed Lu Heng's arm and pulled. "Let's go. You're coming with me to the palace to see my cousin! What do you mean by humiliating me like this? You look down on the Bian Family, but do you also look down on the Imperial Family? Don't forget that Your Majesty is my cousin-in-law! "
Lu Heng sneered and pulled his hand back.
"If I remember correctly, your sister hasn't taken the position of Empress yet, right?"
Bian Ruohan was so angry that his whole body trembled. He burst into tears. "I don't care, I don't care. I must go to Huichuan County with you! What did I do wrong? I just went to scold that b * tch, and then you ignored me like this. Not only did you not consummate the marriage with me, but you also humiliated me with all kinds of words. Even if I'm incompetent, it's not up to you to humiliate me! I'm going to tell Your Majesty! I'm going to tell the Empress Dowager! "
Lu Heng smiled. "Just make a fuss. If you make a big fuss, I'll still be the one losing face. "
Bian Ruohan cried loudly. His tears smeared his makeup. He covered his face and ran out without caring about it.
The wet nurse and servant girl hurriedly bowed and chased after him.
When Lu Heng saw that he had gone far, he sat down on the soft couch by the window and rubbed his eyebrows tiredly.
A husband with a virtuous wife would have fewer troubles. However, he didn't have that kind of luck. Ever since he married Madam Bian, he had lost all his face. Now, Your Majesty's attitude towards him was becoming more and more unpredictable. He was already busy with court matters, and Bian Ruohan still wanted to add to his troubles.
In contrast, Qin Yining planned to go to Huichuan County to buy property in order to let Pang Xiao recuperate in peace.
How could these two women be compared?
He didn't know Your Majesty's intention of arranging for him to be the Huichuan County Magistrate. In order to confirm, he would let Bian Ruohan make a fuss. Anyway, it was a woman's matter. Even if she offended the nobles in the palace, it was a problem with the Bian Family's upbringing. It would be a good opportunity to see the palace's attitude.
As for whether Bian Ruohan would be punished for crying casually?
