Chapter 71: "The month is coming."

Chapter 71: "The month is coming."

    Qian Mu and Shiqing wanted to throw the pot out, and the other picked it up for her and covered it, not giving an inch.

    Mother Qian ran out of patience and looked sideways at Shi Qing, her already stern and rigid face became even more fierce, with a heavy pressure blowing towards her.

    If it were an ordinary official, when she saw Qian Mu's face, she would definitely lower her head and dare not speak, but Shi Qing looked back at her with a straight back, "You stare at me!"

    “…”

    Shi Qing complained to the emperor, "Mr. Qian wanted to threaten me in front of you. I am a victim who is not even afraid of knives. Can she still use her eyes as a trick?"

    "Your knife is on Mr. Li's neck, I'm not afraid!"

    Li Yunqing, who was mentioned for no reason, twitched her eyelids and the wound on her neck was itchy.

    Mom Qian paused, bowed her head and bowed to the emperor, "I have none."

    Shi Qing said, "I don't believe it."

    The emperor put down the tea cup and said slowly, "You two should stop arguing, Shi Qing was already tired when he returned to Beijing, so he went back to rest first, and everything will be discussed in the morning tomorrow. Qian Aiqing stayed, and what I said before has not been finished."

    "As for Li Aiqing, I will stay with you. The Queen's birthday is coming soon, and you will stay in the Ministry of Rites to discuss it together."

    The three named responded in unison, "Yes."

    After all, the assassins are all dead now, and there is no evidence found on their bodies. No matter what they say, Qian Mu and Shi Qing can only guess.

    Everything can only be checked slowly, and the place to start must be the magistrate of Cao.

    After paying the difference, Shi Qing went out from the imperial study.

    When she came, it was Li Yunqing's sedan chair, and when she returned to the house, Mihe drove to the palace gate to pick her up.

    "Little Master."

    Mihe moved the footstool down, and asked with bright eyes, "Is everything going well, did the emperor say that you should be promoted?"

    Shi Qing thought for a while, "I didn't mention it today, I guess I won't know until tomorrow morning. Is Yun Zhi home?"

    When she returned to the palace, let Yun Zhi return to the palace first.

    Mihe nodded, "Here it is. There is one more thing. When we arrived at the gate of the mansion, Miss Qian's second lady just sent you a red-glazed plum bottle."

    Mihe didn't understand how Qian Cancan was so polite, and finally came to the conclusion, "Maybe I heard the wind, let's celebrate your promotion in advance."

    The little master gave her a gift as soon as she returned to Beijing. Is this congratulations in advance when she knows that she is about to be promoted, or is Babaoge's business too good and the money is too much to lose money?

    Shi Qing climbed into the carriage for a while, guessing why Qian Cancan did this.

    She sighed, "Oh, why is Qian Cancan so polite? Compared with Mei Ping, does the special product I brought her seem a little out of hand?"

    Mihe thinks about the bag of cakes, and then thinks about the red plum bottle.

    In contrast, one is a glass bead and the other is an agate gem, which is a bit out of hand.

    Shi Qing climbed into the carriage and comforted herself, "Although this cake is polite, but I have a lot of affection, I brought it to her from such a long distance, but Yun Zhi endured it on the road. It's not easy to eat without food."

    “…”

    The end of her eyes twitched and she corrected it softly, "Little Master, didn't the little master stop you and tell you not to eat it?"

    How come this is reversed.

    Shi Qing lifted the curtain and looked at the honey.

    Speak the truth, is she shameless?

    "Go back and ask the house to fry some melon seeds, and send it to Qian Cancan along with the cakes I brought to the Qian family sisters."

    "Tell her not to be rude, the main thing is not to give the bottle individually, next time I will give a pair," Shi Qing leaned against the wall of the car, "I also like to put it symmetrically."

    Mihe had imagined that Qian Cancan would add these words when he received the cake.

    The two of them drove back to the house, and they turned an alley and they were almost at the door. When Shi Qing heard that there were ice bowls on the street, he asked Mi to go down and buy two bowls.

    Although it’s not hot yet, but it’s already scorching hot, ice bowls have become more popular.

    Shi Qing planned to bring Yun Zhi a bowl to taste, but she had to carry Li Shi, after all, her father thought Yun Zhi was pregnant, so she must speak softly when she saw the two eating cold said down.

    When she returned to the house with the food box, Yun Zhi was sitting at the table in the room, repairing the gems on the scabbard without a teacher.

    "Am I tough?" Seeing Shi Qing coming back, Yun Zhi's brows were proud, and his eyes showed a little smugness.

    He stood up and pulled a sword flower from the scabbard to show Shi Qing, "Fix it yourself, save money for you."

    Yun Zhi was wearing a pink summer shirt today, with a white brocade robe at the bottom, a white belt around the waist, a thin waist, and a straight and straight body. It came out clean and handsome.

    He was hardly alone with the pain and depression last night.

     Yun Zhi didn't like to wear this color before, it was all blue and cyan, but Shi Qing deliberately mentioned, "Although Cao Zhen is not good-looking, the color of the clothes is pretty good, just The pink he's wearing..."

    When he said this, Yun Zhi's eyes were almost like a knife.

    The next morning, he changed his clothes, touched his nose embarrassedly and said, "Ya Qing said that this dress is spirited."

    He asked Shiqing diligently, "How is it? Is it alright?"

    It wasn't until she heard that she said she looked good-looking that Yun Zhi was reserved, "I just don't like to wear it."

    "..." She almost believed it.

    Shi Qing looked at the scabbard handed in front of him, and exaggeratedly said, "It's amazing! Yun Shaoxia's craftsmanship can go to Babao Pavilion to seek a life."

    "To celebrate how good you are, I bought you an ice bowl."

     Shi Qing put the food box on the table and brought out two bowls.

    Yun Zhi lifted up the hem of his clothes and sat down, without the slightest shyness and dignity of a man.

    He put the scabbard aside, and curiously reached out to take one of the bowls, "It's so cold, can you eat it?"

    "Don't eat it if you don't like it, it's all mine." Shi Qing gestured and reached out to grab it, Yun Zhi reacted very quickly and turned around to dodge.

    He stopped Shi Qing with one hand and held the bowl to his mouth with the other, "I'll try it."

    The ice bowl is filled with seasonal fruits, with crushed ice and sugar.

    Yun Zhi has never drank this, it's quite rare.

    Shi Qing laughed at him, "Promise."

    Yun Zhi ignored her, raised his head and finished drinking, burping.

    Shi Qing couldn't help laughing.

    Yun Zhi's ears were red, he pretended not to care, wiped his mouth boldly, put down the bowl, "Delicious."

    Seeing that he really liked it, Shi Qing brought his bowl to him, "This thing is cold, you can't blame me if you eat a bad stomach."

    Shi Qing said so much, after all, Yun Zhi is in good health, let alone eating ice bowls, even if he drinks cold water, Young Master Yun can handle it.

    The two packed up and went to share dinner with Shiju and Li in the evening.

    When Shi Qing and Yun Zhi were assassinated, Shi Ju asked the people in the mansion to hide from Li Shi and didn't tell him. Today, seeing that the two children are safe and sound, they only mentioned it. I heard elsewhere to think more about worrying.

    It took two or three months for the two children to leave, and Mrs. Li missed it, not to mention that after knowing the danger last night, tears fell directly.

    "Dad, don't cry, Yun Zhi and I are all right." Shi Qing took out the towel and wiped his tears.

    Yun Zhi echoed, "It's really not hurt, don't worry."

    Li took a child with one hand, folded the hands of Shi Qing and Yun Zhi, and patted them lightly in the palm, "Fortunately, I came back safely."

    When her emotions calmed down, Li Shi couldn't hold back and looked at Yun Zhi's stomach again.

    In the afternoon, he was a little puzzled. After all, he was pregnant with a child. No matter how thin Yun Zhi was, it should not be too late to show his pregnancy, right?

    Yun Zhi was stared at by Mrs. Li, his back was hairy, his **** was moving on the stool, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.

    Li didn't say anything, just smiled and picked up the chopsticks and spread some dishes for the two children, "I see that you are all hungry and thin, eat more."

    After eating, Yun Zhi went back to the room first, and Shi Qing and Shi Ju went to the study.

    There are many things that are not clear in the letters.

    "The fifth princess didn't walk much with the Qian family, at least she didn't even go out of her palace gate."

    Shi Ju frowned slightly, "The matter of the magistrate of Cao is handed over to the queens by the emperor to let them slowly participate in politics and take the opportunity to cultivate."

    Shi Qing always felt that the matter of Magistrate Cao and Li Yunqing trying to assassinate her was probably done by Mother Qian, but Shi Ju gave a different opinion.

    "Maybe someone stepped in."

     Shi Qing looked at her.

    Li Yunqing served in the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites was under the control of the eldest prince's wife, Shen Yuan, the Minister of Rites.

    What Shi Ju was worried about was that in the assassination, someone was fishing in troubled waters or trying to muddy the water completely.

    Shi Ju squeezed his eyebrows, "Don't think about it for now, just wait and see the results."

    Upwards, it is obvious that the fourth princess and the sixth princess are fighting, and one of the two can always find out the truth.

    "Are you really not hurt this time?" After talking about the business, Shi Ju frowned and looked at Shi Qing, and looked at her carefully again.

    Shi Qing waved his hand, "I didn't make my father happy at night, I really didn't get hurt, the Imperial Forest Army and Yun Zhi are both there."

    "Mother, speaking of Mr. Qian, does the Qian family have any other daughters?" Shi Qing changed the subject and asked curiously.

    This is a matter of the older generation, and it is also a matter of Shiyong Hou's mansion, Shi Qing really doesn't understand.

    Shi Ju looked over suspiciously, "Why are you asking this?"

    Shi Qing couldn't tell her the conclusion directly, so he took a detour, "Mr. Qian dislikes Qian Cancan's status as a prostitute, is it possible that it has something to do with her own experience?"

    Shi Qing has a good relationship with Qian Cancan. When she came back in the afternoon, Qian Cancan sent a bottle over. It is normal for Shi Qing to care about her.

    Shi Ju thought for a while, "Mr. Qian has a high position and is very sensitive to this matter. If you are really curious, you still need to check it out."

    The prostitute is simply the inverse scale of the mother of money.

    Time to understand.

    She told Shi Ju about Shi Yin again.

    "It's nothing, since Yin'er didn't want to be an official near the capital, the second sister should have been prepared when she asked to leave the capital."

    Shi Ju gestured to Shi Qing to rest assured, "After Yin Er becomes a family in two years, the second sister and the others may also leave the capital."

    Although the second child of the Shi family is a master, she is not an old-fashioned person. It can be seen from the fact that she can take her husband out of the house and live in the academy in a fit of anger. She is not a pedantic person.

    Shi Ju has been worried these days, but she must hold on to it. Now that Shi Qing has returned safely, she is relieved, and she is inevitably a little tired.

    "Mother, you also go to bed earlier." Shi Qing stood up and walked to the door, still saying to Shi Ju, "Don't worry, no matter how muddy the water is, I can touch fish. ."

     Shi Ju leaned back slowly on the back of the chair and looked at her.

    Shi Ju smiled, "I know, go to sleep."

    The relationship between mother and daughter has changed a lot compared to a few months ago.

    Shi Qing returned from the study to his yard, Yun Zhi had already washed up, wearing a snow-white middle shirt, sitting cross-legged on the bed, studying the swordsmanship that he picked up on the road, while waiting for her to come back.

    His little bed and screen were moved out by Mihe, and the two now sleep in the same bed.

    Seeing Shi Qing came back, Yun Zhi put down the sword score, and patted the bed board beside him with bright eyes, full of hints.

    After taking a shower, he pounced on him.

    Yun Zhi smiled, reached out to catch her, and the two rolled onto the bed.

    Shi Qing looked at him suspiciously, his face puzzled.

    And noodle?

    Yun Zhi said, "I feel that your father really wants to hug his granddaughter."

    I understand.

    She slapped Yun Zhi's hand off, "Then you rubbed in the wrong place."

    It's not her.

    Shi Qing poked Yun Zhi's flat and firm abdomen, "Knead here."

    Yun Zhi hissed and grabbed Shi Qing's fingers, lying on the side, "Don't poke, it's a little uncomfortable."

    But there is no problem with the pulse.

    Shi Qing felt that the two bowls of ice that Yun Zhi had eaten before dinner were too cold, so he got up and poured him a cup of hot water, "Young Master, you are not healthy."

    Yun Zhi didn't talk too much with her, and she felt a lot more comfortable after drinking it.

    I didn't feel anything else before going to bed, until I woke up at the third watch, Yun Zhi sat beside the bed, and felt uncomfortable no matter what.

    He bowed his head dazedly to the faint light, and saw a small red patch on the front of his trousers.

    Yun Zhi's mind was blank, he was stunned by the bed, his heart almost stopped.

    He thought it was because he was sleepy and dazzled, so he rubbed his eyes and looked again.

    It's still red.

    Yun Zhi's face instantly paled, and his hand, which is usually too steady when holding a sword, trembled and touched it.

    It doesn't hurt.

    But it doesn't hurt, why is it bleeding? He and Shi Qing are not too indulgent either.

    There is only one possibility.

    The ice bowl is poisonous.

    Yun Zhi stabilizes his mind and takes his own pulse.

    There is no abnormality in the pulse.

    Yun Zhi pursed her lips tightly, and her heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

    Yun Zhi tried to wake up Shi Qing in a calm voice, "Shi Qing, I'm poisoned, wake up and I'll tell you a few words."

     Shi Qing opened her eyes with difficulty, and Yun Zhi patiently repeated the words several times before she could hear clearly.

    "Poisoned?" Daze was instantly scared away, Shi Qing bounced off the bed and sat up, staring at Yun Zhi blankly.

    Yun Zhi sat on his side, turned around, pressed his forehead against hers, and caressed her cheeks and neck with his cold palms, and there was a deep nostalgia in his tone, which was clearly not what he said. Love words, but the hearts of those who listened trembled.

    "Shi Qing, I may be running out of time."

    He couldn't figure out the poison himself, let alone others.

    Shi Qing's heart stopped beating for a moment until Yun Zhi finished talking about the "signs" of his poisoning.

    Shi Qing knelt on the bed with a lampstand in his hand, staring at Yun Zhi intently.

    Yun Zhi was forced to face her stiffly and stand in front of the bed, not knowing what to show on his face.

    Shi Qing silently looked at the "scabbard" that was lined up, his eyes slowly moved up and landed on Yun Zhi's face.

    "What do you think?"

    “…”

    Yun Zhi covered his face with one hand and squatted on the ground in disgust, only the two ears that were exposed were red and dripping blood.

    This is what poisoned him!

    Shi Qing breathed a sigh of relief, put his heart back to its original place, leaned over and reached out to pat the dog's head, "Don't panic, I'm familiar with this situation."

    Yun Zhi held Shi Qing's palm and looked up at her, her eyes were all red, her eyes were watery, and she couldn't tell the crime, "What's the situation with me?"

    "The menstrual period is coming." Shi Qing tried his best to hold back his laughter.

    Yun Zhi was at a loss and did not understand.

    Shi Qing couldn't hide the smile at the corners of his mouth more and more, and smiled gloatingly, "Congratulations to Yun Shaoxia, he has finally become a real man."

    “…???”
