Qin Rushuang is drinking the soup Qingzhi cooked for her.
When the birth was approaching, Dr. Cao gave her a prescription, which she said was good for replenishing qi and blood and had no side effects. Qin Rushuang could drink some before giving birth.
I don't know what happened today. The sky was overcast and the raindrops were about to fall. Qin Rushuang just felt upset and a little uneasy in her heart.
She drank the soup absentmindedly and prepared the bowl. She put it on the table aside. Perhaps because she was lost in thought, she lost her balance and dropped the bowl into pieces on the floor.
Qingzhi was startled and quickly came over to check.
"Is the princess injured?"
Qin Rushuang shook her head, "I'm fine, my hand slipped. Just sweep the debris out."
Qingzhi swept the debris out, and when she passed the courtyard gate, Aunt Yang stopped her.
"Someone from Mr. Shen's residence is here again. He said he brought a letter. I'm afraid it's something important but I didn't dare to pick it up. They're waiting at the door right now. Miss Qingzhi, let's take a look."
Qingzhi nodded and opened the courtyard door, only to see the young man from the Shen Mansion with an anxious look on his face: "Miss Qingzhi, you are finally here! This letter was ordered by my young master to be delivered to the princess as soon as possible!" "
Qingzhi's brows jumped and he quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
The boy shook his head and said, "I don't know. I only know that from last night to today, martial law has been enforced everywhere in Kyoto. The people are huddled in their houses and dare not come out, and the imperial army is patrolling the streets."
Qingzhi quickly thanked the boy and hurried back to the room with the letter.
After explaining the boy's words to Qin Rushuang in a few words, Qin Rushuang opened the envelope.
The content of the letter only contained a few figures. It was very simple, but it made Qin Rushuang frown tightly.
The letter said that Prince Huai's Mansion was stolen, the defense map was stolen, and the whole city was under martial law. There may be fraud in this matter, so my sister should be careful.
Qin Rushuang did not shy away from Qingzhi, and Qingzhi also saw the content of the letter.
After reading it, my face was naturally full of anxiety.
"How could this happen? I don't understand this. But you, the princess, were responsible for building the study. I won't blame you again, right?"
Qin Rushuang shook her head, "I'm resting in another courtyard. Even if this matter is strange, at most it's just that I'm a little suspicious, so it shouldn't be a problem."
Qin Rushuang thought so. Of course Qin Fanghao in the palace could also think of this.
Qin Rushuang has gone to another courtyard now. Even if the study is stolen and she is blamed on Qin Rushuang, at most she is somewhat suspicious. The prince cannot be angry with her because of this matter.
Qin Fanghao lowered his eyes, touched the piece of paper that had just dried under his hand, and smiled at the corner of his mouth.
The prince won't doubt it, but that doesn't mean others won't.
"Qinghong, send this letter to my mother in the General's Mansion and ask her to handle it as soon as possible.
Qinghong nodded: "Yes, concubine."
Prince Huai's Mansion and the General's Mansion were not far away, and within a moment, the letter was quietly in Aunt Liu's hands.
Aunt Liu hurriedly read the letter, burned it immediately, and hurried to General Qin's courtyard.
General Qin did not go to court today. The weather was hot and he was suffering from summer hardship due to his age. In addition, there was martial law in the city for some reason, so he simply took leave and did not go to court.
When Aunt Liu arrived in a hurry, General Qin was playing with the birds.
There was a thrush in the cage. He had spent a lot of money to find this thrush. It had a clear and interesting voice.
"Master! How can you still think about teasing birds when this happened?"
General Qin glanced at her.
Although he abandoned Aunt Liu for various reasons, after all, his love for Aunt Liu has lasted for more than ten years, and it cannot be broken off at once.
Thanks to Aunt Liu's tenderness these days, General Qin's attitude towards her has improved a lot, although he has not restored her status.
"What do you sound like chirping? Tell me something if you have something to say."
Aunt Liu looked around and saw that there was no one around. She quickly stepped forward and said to General Qin: "Master, something big is going to happen in our house! Go into the palace and confess to His Majesty!"
After General Qin heard this, his brows jumped, "Nonsense! What are you talking about, you ignorant woman? You are so good, what crime does our government have?"
Aunt Liu pretended to be anxious and said to General Qin, "Master, do you know why the city is under martial law today? Fortunately, I am still a first-class official, so I didn't get this information! Today, I received a letter from Fang Hao, saying that the palace was stolen and the border gate was closed.
The defense plan was stolen!"
"What are you talking about? It's not your mother and daughter's fault. The relationship between me and the prince is tense now, how could I get the news? But... no wonder the city is under martial law. It seems that it will take a few days for my illness to be cured."
Seeing that he was not in a hurry, Aunt Liu said: "Sir, why don't you think about it, your good daughter Qin Rushuang took care of the reconstruction of the study room in the palace! Fang Hao has written a letter, saying that the prince is furious now and suspects that the matter has something to do with Qin Rushuang.
, have sent people to another hospital to escort Qin Rushuang back to Kyoto to confront the emperor!"
"Fang Hao made it very clear. Only Qin Rushuang and the prince have seen the construction drawings of the study. Now that something has happened, the prince has already determined that Qin Rushuang is to blame. If the prince enters the palace first, then our house will be doomed.
!”
"Master, this is a serious crime of treason!"
"This...this is something that has no evidence. I'm afraid your prince won't talk nonsense, right?" General Qin didn't believe it.
"Then Master, who do you think should be blamed for this? There are only two people in total. Either the prince goes to His Majesty to plead guilty and admits that he did not keep it well, or Qin Rushuang revealed the secret of the study to outsiders!"
"Now that Qin Rushuang is no longer favored by the prince, and has been sent to another hospital, do you think the prince will protect her? She blames you so much, and she might just want to bite the general's head!"
"Hurry into the palace and go to the emperor first to plead guilty. Maybe the emperor will not implicate us for the sake of your decades of service to the country and the people!"
General Qin was still hesitant, but his aunt gritted her teeth and said, "Think about the family named Su! At first, there was just a little hint of collaborating with the enemy and treason, but without even providing evidence, they were all executed and executed.
,exile of exile!”
When General Qin heard this, he was really panicked: "Quick! Get my court uniform quickly, I will go to the palace to apologize to Your Majesty!"
"Hey, I'll go right away! By the way, please don't tell Madam beforehand. I'm afraid that Madam will be so eager to protect her daughter that she will harm the whole family..."
General Qin thought of Mrs. Qin's cold words to him these days, and even wanted to make peace with him. Thinking about it, the General's Palace was no longer in his heart, so he said with a sullen face, "You shouldn't tell her about this, and ordered the servants to let me enter the palace."
No one is allowed to tell her anything!"
…
General Qin deliberately concealed it, but what she didn't know was that Mrs. Qin had already placed her own person beside General Qin, a little maid who would serve him personally.
The little maid vaguely heard a few words from General Qin and Aunt Liu outside the house, which probably meant that the concubine had gotten into trouble and wanted to go to the palace to plead guilty.
She didn't dare to delay for a while, and immediately went to report to Mrs. Qin after General Qin left.
After hearing this, Mrs. Qin's eyes went dark.
"I...I'll go after him!"
The maid stamped her foot and said, "It's too late, Madam! The master has already boarded the carriage, and you can't catch up! Why don't you tell the news to the concubine in the other courtyard quickly, so that she can be prepared? I'm afraid she won't be able to do anything now."
have no idea!"
"Yes! Yes! Someone bring the news to Shuang'er quickly!"
