Chapter 806 Go Home

The second master and the third master thought about the care and promotion that Qin Huaiyuan had given them over the years, and when they thought about the emperor's attitude towards them even though they had lost their lives for the sake of the imperial court, they couldn't help feeling sad and cried together.

After people came to the palace, the two masters locked themselves in the room and cried, which naturally alerted the servants guarding outside the hall. But no one dared to say a word, they all just kept their doubts in their hearts.

In the inner house, the old lady, the second lady and others were still ignorant of what was going on outside. They were discussing with the second lady and Mistress Han what to do about the marriage between the eighth lady and Qin Huining. They chose the day to be in the summer, and it was only two months away.

They knew that someone was coming to the palace. Seeing that the second master and the third master did not come back for a while, the old lady was a little worried and ordered someone to go ahead and inquire.

Not long after, the second master and the third master came back with the girl with red and swollen eyes.

When he saw the two of them like this, the old lady was stunned.

"What, what's going on? Is there bad news coming from the palace? Is something wrong with Sister Yi?"

Qin Yining has been in the palace for so long, and the presence of people in the palace made the two sons' eyes swollen from crying. The old lady naturally thought that something had happened to Qin Yining.

The Second Madam, Second Grandma Han, Eighth Miss, Qin Huining and others couldn't help but look at the Second Master and the Third Master, with some anxiety on their faces.

The two brothers have already discussed it. Can the funeral at home be hidden from the old lady? They must know about this sooner or later.

The two of them knelt down with a plop.

"Mother...you, don't be excited or sad after hearing this. My eldest brother...had an accident in the north."

"What? What happened to Brother Meng?" The old lady's eyes widened.

"Brother, he..." Looking at the old lady's appearance, the second master really couldn't say anything.

The old lady leaned her upper body forward and almost fell down on the soft couch. The second lady and Aunt Qin hurriedly supported her from left to right.

Seeing that the second master was speechless, the third master could only speak with difficulty: "Eunuch Xiong, who is next to the Holy Master, said that the eldest brother was ordered to reward the army. When he walked outside the Tianyu Pass and was very close to the military camp, he encountered The bandits have stolen all the grain, grass, gold, silver and other items used to reward the army, but my eldest brother has no bones left."

"What!" the second lady exclaimed.

Everyone was so frightened that they even forgot to cry for a moment.

The old lady's eyes went straight, and it took a long time before she uttered a hoarse voice: "You mean, Meng Geer, is dead?"

"Mother, please take care of yourself."

"Aren't you trying to trick me?"

"Mom, don't be sad, brother is really...",

"Ah!!!" The old lady didn't wait for the second master to finish his words, and suddenly let out a miserable howl, "My son, my son! My Meng! What should I do if you call me mother? You call me mother. What should I do! Oh my God, you don’t have eyesight!"

The old lady roared at the top of her lungs, her eyes were red, but she couldn't shed tears. She stared, and her eyes almost popped out of her eyes. The infinite heartache and resentment made everyone burst into tears.

The old lady's screams reached the corridor, and all the maids suddenly knew what had happened. Thinking of Qin Huaiyuan's kindness, they couldn't help crying.

The old lady beat her chest and screamed wildly. No one could understand what she was saying, but the grief of a mother losing her child made everyone feel the same.

"Meng Ge'er!" the last scream,

The old lady lost consciousness as soon as she rolled her eyes.

"Old lady!"

"Mother!"

People in the whole room were in a mess, pinching each other and hurriedly looking for the doctor. The whole courtyard of the palace was in chaos.

The news quickly reached the ears of Yao Chenggu and Yao Shi.

"How could this happen? Okay, how could this person just say no and disappear?" Yao asked the maid in shock, "Did you really hear this? Could it be that he was tricking me?"

"My servant really heard it. He said that someone walked outside the Tianyu Pass and was killed by bandits. All the things that were given to the army were robbed. Master Qin's body was not left behind. At this moment, the old lady of the Qin family had passed away. Oh, the side courtyard has turned into a mess."

Mrs. Yao waved her hand, dismissed the maid, and asked Yao Chenggu, who was clicking his cigarette holder: "Dad, what should we do now? Is my father-in-law killed in the line of duty? Do we want to go and see?"

Yao Chenggu hesitated and said, "Didn't you hear me? He was doing something wrong. He lost everything and also lost his life."

"Then let's not go, lest we get into trouble."

"No. We still have to go." Yao Chenggu knocked his pipe on the edge of the kang, "Think about it, we live under the same roof after all. Even if we don't go, in the eyes of outsiders we are still a family. Besides, we are in-laws after all, so if we don’t go, we will inevitably make the people below talk about it.”

"But..." Mrs. Yao bit her lip and said, "You said that the palace is lent to the Qin family for temporary residence, but after all, this is the palace. It doesn't matter if the father-in-law dies. It would be unlucky if the mourning hall was placed in our home. , Mrs. Qin is not at home either. If she were at home, we would also discuss it with her and ask her to place the mourning hall outside so as not to bring bad luck to our family."

"Come on, something happened to someone just now. Shouldn't we just wait for someone to poke his spine after saying this?" Yao Chenggu stood up, shook the ashes from his robe, and told Mrs. Yao, "Go and change your clothes. Dress more modestly. Let's go together. .”

"Ai."

Mrs. Yao responded and quickly went outside, put on a royal blue double-breasted jacket, took off her hair and face and put on silver jewelry, and then went to the side courtyard where the Qin family lived with Yao Chenggu.

The second master and the third master, with Qin Han and Qin Yu, were in front of them and were discussing the erection of the funeral shed. When they saw the two people arriving, they greeted them with polite greetings.

Yao Chenggu comforted him a few words, and inadvertently looked at each other with Yao.

Yao immediately understood the meaning, touched the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and said: "If something like this happens, Dafu will not be able to come back in the south. He cannot be asked to leave his post without permission, but Sister Yi has to give it first no matter what. We have to take her out of the palace. For such a big thing, my father-in-law only has a girl like this, so we can’t afford it when our biological daughter is not around yet.”

The second master and the third master both nodded in agreement.

It is not easy for their family to support each other until today. Although their mother is partial and their eldest brother has higher achievements than them, in the hearts of their brothers, there is no less gratitude and admiration for their eldest brother. To be fair, Qin Huaiyuan, the eldest brother, is quite interesting to their brothers.

The third master wiped his tears with his sleeves and said, "My mother-in-law said so. We brothers will discuss it and go ahead with it."

Yao Shi and Yao Chenggu both nodded.

Yao first went to the inner house to see how the old lady was doing.

Yao Chenggu also walked aside, leaving space for the second master and the third master to talk.

The third master said: "What my mother-in-law said is that it is a serious matter to take the opportunity to let Sister Yi out of the palace. After such a long time, I don't know what the palace is going to do. Besides, the current situation in the court is complicated, and Sister Yi will never The prince may know more inside information than we do, and with Sister Yi at home we can discuss it more easily without causing chaos."

The second master also nodded.

In the past, no matter what happened in the Qin family, the whole family would discuss it together to overcome the difficulties. Although he was an uncle, he had to admit that Qin Yining's political vision far exceeded his own. With Qin Yining at home, at least their family would not get into trouble.

After the two agreed, the second master thought of a way to deliver the sign to the palace.

Qin Yining welcomed the queen here the next day.

"Sister Qin, please express my condolences." The queen's eyes were full of sympathy. "The Holy Emperor said that after such a big incident happened in your family, it is difficult for you to continue to accompany Concubine Shun. You can leave the palace at any time."

Qin Yining didn't sleep all night, and there was a clear circle of blue and black under his eyes. He smiled tiredly at the queen and said, "Thank you, my queen."

"What's wrong with your voice...throat?"

Qin Yining's voice was extremely hoarse and almost speechless.

Qin Yining smiled and shook his head.

The queen sighed pitifully: "I've embarrassed you. Clean it up quickly. If you need anything, just tell me."

The corners of her lips twitched stiffly, and Qin Yining forced out a smile: "I understand your kindness, I am grateful for your care these days. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened to my two maids."

The Queen smiled and said, "To be honest, I am also investigating to find out the truth, and it is not all for you."

"My wife is very lucky to be able to handle things fairly."

This sentence is suspected of accusing Li Qitian of being unfair. But what Qin Yining said was the truth. When the queen faced Qin Yining, she even felt as if her husband had done such a dirty thing, and her face felt hot for him.

However, I can only think about this in my heart. Qin Yining also trusts her and will say it.

After saying goodbye to the queen, Qin Yining immediately asked Jiyun and Bingtang to bring the packages they had packed earlier, and asked a palace attendant to guide them out of the palace.

She had lived in the palace for more than two months. From the early spring to the hot summer, she had experienced so much. The suffering she had endured was nothing. The most unacceptable thing for her was that Qin Huaiyuan had passed away.

As long as he thinks about these things, Qin Yining's tears can't help but fall down. He is born in the palace and cannot shed tears casually, so as not to bring bad luck to the nobles.

After finally leaving the palace, the carriage at home had been waiting for a long time.

The person who came to pick her up was a familiar boy, wearing simple gray clothes and a white mourning belt around his waist. When he saw Qin Yining, he bowed: "Princess, I'm here to take you back to your home."

The white on the boy's waist was so dazzling that Qin Yining closed his eyes, and tears burst out of his dry, red and swollen eyes.

The three of them got on the carriage, and the boy drove the carriage very fast with his whip. All the way back to the front of the house, Qin Yining raised the curtains in the car and took a look, and his eyes were stung by the white eyes.

After getting off the carriage, he ran into the mansion without hesitation. White flags were hung everywhere on the paths along the way, and all the servants he saw were wearing sackcloth and mourning.

The main hall was in chaos, and the mourning hall had not yet been set up. Qin Huaiyuan was in his prime, unlike the old lady who had already thought about setting up the board. The incident happened suddenly, and the family was completely unprepared. Moreover, Qin Huaiyuan's body was not found. Even if a coffin was purchased, it could only contain the clothes Qin Huaiyuan usually wore.
