Prince Han's Mansion.
"Fifth brother, Eunuch Gao died in prison. It is said that his death was tragic. Eunuch Chen also died. He said he committed suicide. I don't believe it."
Qin Yi shook his head as he spoke.
"The bodies of two palace ladies were also found in an ancient well in the West Palace. It is said that they were not dead for a long time, and I don't know if they are related to this incident."
Listening to Qin Yi's babble, Qin Shuihan didn't react at all.
The affairs in the palace were under the control of his father. He didn't want to worry about it, let alone cross the line. It was just about his own part that he needed to understand.
"How is Yun Xi?"
"I saw her yesterday and everything was fine. But there was no progress."
Qin Shuihan nodded, picked up the fire paint tube in his hand, and turned it around twice.
The color of the paint is deep black, and the pattern on the barrel mouth is more detailed.
He picked up the fire paint tube from before.
Under the candlelight, the colors are exactly the same, and the patterns are the same style.
It seems that these two fire lacquer tubes were fired at the same period.
Qin Yi looked over his head and took a look.
The secret letter in the fire paint tube on the left is information about He Qianxue.
Her father, He Yushu, came from an innocent family and had never been to the capital. He only had a daughter, He Qianxue, and he was really willing to let her choose a concubine to enter the palace.
"Fifth brother, is there any new news?"
"Qinglang was injured. But he was only disfigured, but his life is still there."
"Who is Qinglang?"
Qin Shuihan lowered his eyes, snorted slightly from his nostrils, and said with great dissatisfaction: "Substitute."
Qin Yi was stunned for a moment. What does fifth brother's replacement mean?
Seeing his dumb look, Qin Shuihan spit out another sentence from his nostrils.
"The sweetheart of Junze Pavilion."
Qin Yi finally realized that it was Yan Ruoxi who booked the show.
He couldn't help laughing, but then he felt something was wrong and tried hard to hold back his laughter.
Qin Shuihan sighed, but he didn't quite understand who would be at odds with a lover.
"Laugh if you want."
"No, no, fifth brother, this little brother is the one who made the most mistakes."
Qin Shuihan didn't bother to expose him, he was clearly a bastard who took pleasure in his misfortune.
"Curious?"
Qin Yi nodded instinctively and said, "Is it the fifth brother who is also curious?"
"Then follow me."
Qin Yi staggered, where were he going in the middle of the night?
Could it be that he was going to the Elephant House to have some fun?
No, no, how could Fifth Brother be that kind of person?
Could it be that he went to the Xianggu Pavilion to investigate the lover named Qinglang?
He stretched his neck unconsciously.
"Okay, follow Fifth Brother!"
Qin Shuihan rolled his eyes at him and rushed to the suburbs with a few guards.
The huge concave moon hangs in the sky, looking brighter than the full moon.
Qin Shuihan and Qin Yi sat in the carriage, waiting for Xuanfeng and Cheng Xian to confirm the location.
Qin Yi yawned profusely and was a little disappointed. Where is the Elephant House that they agreed on?
Why did you come to such a deserted suburb?
"Fifth brother, are you not sleepy?"
Qin Shuihan shook his head numbly.
The moonlight shines on his face, which is full of haggardness.
Looking at his strong back, Qin Yi sighed.
He clenched his fist. If he landed a palm, could he knock Fifth Brother unconscious?
There were footsteps not far away.
Xuanfeng and Cheng Xian are here.
"The person the master is looking for is two miles away from here, just downhill ahead. The house is very dilapidated."
Qin Shuihan nodded and signaled to rush over immediately.
After a while, the carriage came to a low house without a yard.
There are several gourds scattered beside the patio on the right.
Suddenly there was a sound inside the house, and a man came out after a while.
The man had difficulty walking, and his hand holding the oil lamp was shaking.
The night wind was blowing hard, causing the fire to sway, and there was also a stench.
The putrid smell typical of suppurating wounds.
The man's injuries were not well treated.
Xuanfeng also lit the torch in his hand.
Suddenly a miserable face appeared in front of everyone.
But even with this kind of behavior, Qin Shuihan still recognized him at a glance.
"You are Qinglang."
Qinglang also recognized Qin Shuihan and immediately knelt on the ground.
"The grass-roots people pay their respects to His Highness King Han."
Because his legs and feet were weak, his body was turned to one side and it was difficult to bend his right leg and foot.
Qin Shuihan walked up to Qing Lang.
"Who hurt you like this?"
Qinglang trembled at the corners of his mouth, trying not to collapse.
His face was ruined and he could no longer see anyone.
"The grass people don't know who they are. But those people... are pretending to be King Han in your name."
Qin Shuihan was silent for a moment, then slowly asked: "Why do you think those people are fake?"
Qinglang paused, lowered his head and said, "If King Han takes action, you will not leave me alive."
Qin Yi on the side was very surprised, this man is so smart!
If you look carefully, you will see that your features are indeed handsome, but unfortunately you can't compare with Fifth Brother.
Qinglang swallowed and continued: "And...although those people are covering their faces, but-"
He recalled that scene again.
Several men in black punched him and scratched his face with knives.
The cold blade cut across his face, and he felt no pain, only deep despair.
Qinglang bit his lip, not wanting to remember that scene again.
"...Those people, in front of the common people, said that King Han sent them here. The common people are not stupid. Since they reported the name of King Han, why should they cover their faces... The common people know that this is deliberately setting the blame on you."
Qin Shuihan looked at the broken house behind him expressionlessly, immersed in thoughts.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the house.
Xuanfeng rushed to Qin Shuihan's side alertly.
Qinglang hurriedly shouted: "Your Highness, King Han, that is my mother! My mother has been in poor health and is bedridden. She is not a suspicious person."
Qin Shuihan nodded to Xuanfeng.
Xuanfeng hesitated for a moment and finally put down the hand that was pressed on the hilt of the sword.
He walked quietly into the house and walked out quietly.
Xuanfeng nodded to Qin Shuihan. The old woman in the room was also suffering from many illnesses and was miserable.
Qin Shuihan didn't say much.
Qing Lang was kneeling on the ground and gasping for air. It was obvious that maintaining such a kneeling position took a lot of energy from him.
"The king will send someone to take you mother and son to the hospital tomorrow."
Qinglang was slightly startled and raised his head to look at him.
His face was as cold as an iceberg, but somehow, he felt a touch of warmth in his heart.
"Thank you, His Highness King Han."
"Xuanfeng, help him into the house."
After saying that, Qin Shuihan turned around and got into the carriage.
Qin Yi also followed suit.
"Fifth brother, who wants to harm others in your name?"
Qin Shuihan laughed coldly.
"It doesn't matter who it is, just catch it."
It's a pity that Zhenwan is currently busy with her father's affairs.
Qin Shuihan closed his eyes, and the exhaustion of the past few days finally brought about physical backlash.
A splitting headache.
"Xiao Qi, Zhenwan has been busy recently. I will ask Jingwen, the assistant minister he recommended, to investigate the Qinglang matter..."
"Okay, fifth brother, don't worry."
Qin Shuihan clenched his fists, and the sudden stinging pain in his head made him break out in a cold sweat.
Qin Huan noticed something strange about him and quickly touched his head.
Sweating profusely, forehead feels hot!
He suddenly opened the curtain and shouted to Xuanfeng: "Go to the Eternal Medical Center now, immediately, immediately!"
This is Qin Shuihan's second serious illness.
He didn't even remember the first time when he was little.
At that time, his mother-in-law had just passed away, and almost everyone thought he would not survive.
But after being ill for more than a month, he gradually got better.
But since that serious illness, his life has become smooth sailing.
His father allowed Mu Sisi, who was still Zhaoyi at the time, to take care of him.
Later, Li Yin taught him kung fu and brought a sister to teach him internal skills and mental methods.
Qin Shuihan, who was lying on the bed, relaxed his brows.
The days at that time were boring, but also very real.
Later, at his seventeenth birthday party, his father deliberately invited a group of dignitaries and dignitaries to congratulate him on his birthday.
It's like choosing a concubine for yourself.
It was that time that he saw the viciousness of a woman for the first time.
It turns out that women are not gentle and virtuous.
He thought that the rich lady outside the palace had not experienced the fierce fighting in the palace and could still maintain her original simplicity.
Big mistake.
At that time, he didn't know who the woman was. Her pink and blue placket showed off her fair skin.
The gorgeous and flowing wide sleeves make it even more ladylike.
At that time, Qin Shuihan was not in love, but it was indeed the first time that he felt that a woman could be so soft and lovely.
The woman had a delicate face, a gentle smile, and the slightly raised corners of her mouth caused ripples in his heart.
He looked at her calmly, his eyes scanning the woman's face intentionally or unintentionally.
The lips are as red as peach blossoms, attractive but not gaudy.
Apparently the woman also noticed his gaze.
Qingfeng said nothing, and his face was startled, and his eyebrows conveyed a dark wave of emotion.
After the woman left the table, Qin Shuihan would look for her from time to time.
Seeing her delay in coming, he also left the seat on the pretext of going to the toilet.
Qin Shuihan thought that all women liked flowers, so he went around to the flower pavilion.
I searched around and found no one.
In desperation, he went to the toilet again.
As soon as he walked into the corridor, he saw the woman's figure. For some reason, he felt nervous and instinctively hid behind the pillar.
"Qing'er, does the fifth prince like you?"
Qin Shuihan held his breath. It turned out that the woman's nickname was Qing'er.
"Of course. A cold and tough man like him should like gentle and virtuous people."
The woman on the side laughed.
"Qing'er really understands men. That's why you put on different makeup for the third prince."
Qing'er smiled proudly.
"If a woman is too beautiful, they will feel uneasy."
The woman on the side was smiling from ear to ear.
"Qing'er, you said this as if you were a man."
Qing'er chuckled.
"Although I am a daughter, I still have great ideals! Although the fifth prince is brave and good at fighting, who do you think will be the future prince?"
"Who knows. Then tell me, who do you like between the second prince, the third prince and today's fifth prince?"
"It doesn't matter who you like, what matters is who can be the prince!"
The two people's voices were originally very soft, but Qin Shuihan couldn't hear a word of what they said next.
But he didn't want to hear another word, it really dirty his ears.
Returning to the banquet, their eyes met.
The woman named Qing'er lowered her head shyly, her fair face slightly red.
Qin Shuihan stood up from his seat and walked straight towards her.
Emperor Qin Ming looked at his son with interest, but he didn't expect that he would fall in love with Yan Guan's daughter from the Wan family.
This Fang Junqing's facial features are not the most beautiful, but her smile is gentle and pleasant.
Emperor Qin Ming glanced at Fang Junqing again. He remembered Zhe'er's birthday party. This woman seemed to be dressed more boldly and gorgeously.
She is a woman with changeable styles.
"Meet the Third Prince."
Fang Junqing is blessed.
Qin Shuihan leaned close to her face and carefully distinguished the touch of pink.
The pink color on the face is uneven, and the color on the left is darker. It turns out that this is the color of rouge.
"Third Prince, too, too close..."
Qin Shuihan straightened his back and stood up straight.
"Don't worry, this prince has no interest in you."
"..."
Qin Shuihan's voice was so cold and ruthless that everyone froze in place.
Emperor Qin Ming didn't expect that he would say such things, and he was also confused.
From then on, Qin Shuihan lost interest in women.
No one knows what kind of faces they hide behind their gentle appearance.
Until Yiyi appeared.
Yiyi is different, she is the most real and lovely woman I have ever seen.
"Yiyi...Yiyi..."
Qin Shuihan on the bed kept calling Lin Yi.
Qin Yi looked at his hand that was being held by his fifth brother, and felt as if a five-flavor bottle had been knocked over.
The fifth brother misses the fifth sister-in-law very much.
But his knuckles are thick, and his hands are covered with thin calluses from sword practice. How insane is Fifth Brother to think that his hands are Fifth Sister-in-law’s hands?
"Doctor Qian, is Fifth Brother important?"
"Reporting to King Yi, King Han... is overly sad and physically weak and has a slight lack of yang energy. He will recover after a few days of rest."
"Fifth brother was talking nonsense just now, are you really okay?"
"..."
Qian Shunyi didn't dare to say anything. King Han missed his deceased princess, but he was just expressing his true feelings, so why did it turn into nonsense...
"Don't worry, King Yi. The fried medicine is almost ready. I'll go get it right now."
Qian Shunyi rushed out quickly.
Qin Yi sighed and called Shen Chen into the palace later.
Just as he was about to take out his hand, Qin Shuihan grabbed his wrist hard and wouldn't let go.
"Yiyi! Don't leave me! Don't go!"
Qin Yi looked frustrated and didn't know what to do.
Xuanfeng retreated, not wanting to see his master so sad.
The two maids held the basin and did not dare to move it.
The atmosphere was indescribably depressing.
Qin Shuihan's grip was so tight that Qin Yi felt like his wrist would be pinched off.
If the fifth sister-in-law is really here, how can she bear the power of the fifth brother.
"Yiyi..."
Qin Yi's eyes were red and slightly moist. He raised his head, not wanting to cry.
"Yiyi! Don't leave..."
Qin Shuihan's hand strength strengthened a bit.
Qin Yi lowered his head, pinched his throat and said, "I... won't leave!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Shuihan finally relaxed his grip and his breathing became a bit calmer.
When will Fifth Brother get over his sadness?
At this moment, Qin Yi suddenly realized that the fifth brother was also a human being and was not born so powerful.
He does everything by himself.
As for me, it was all thanks to the protection of my fifth brother that I got to where I am now.
What can I do for Fifth Brother?
Qian Shunyi walked in with soup and medicine.
Qin Yi wiped the corners of his eyes and carefully helped Qin Shuihan sit up.
After taking a bowl of decoction, Qin Shuihan finally calmed down a bit.
When he woke up, he saw Xiao Qi leaning against him in court clothes.
How long have you been sleeping for?
The lingering medicinal smell in his mouth told him that he was ill.
Whose recipe is this?
Why is there a hint of sweetness.
"Fifth brother, are you awake?"
Qin Yi rubbed his sleepy eyes, then reached out and touched Qin Shuihan's forehead.
"Great, the fever has subsided. Fifth Brother, do you want to eat something? I just asked your cook to stew bear paws. You should be able to eat them."
Qin Shuihan touched his belly. Is this for patients?
"No appetite."
"Fifth brother, how can you be healthy if you don't eat? Those are bear paws I specially got from the palace!"
"I haven't fully recovered yet and I can't digest such greasy things."
"No, no, Fifth Brother, it's not a serious illness, it's just that you're too tired. Doctor Shen just diagnosed you. Don't scare yourself!"
"..."
Qin Shuihan didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he lay down and continued to sleep.
"Fifth brother, then you can sleep a little longer, and I'll go see how Bear Paw is doing."
"Go quickly!"
It was finally quiet.
