The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 68 The Dust Settles
Jin Yu's funeral was simple, but there were not many people from the Jin family present. Half of them were arrested and sent to prison, and half of them were worried about getting angry. People came to the funeral, which was embarrassing.

Thinking of Jin Yu's gorgeous and dignified attire when she first met her, Qin Wan couldn't help lamenting the impermanence of the world.

Even Jin Yu, a daughter of a wealthy family who has no worries about food and clothing, will have a life she cannot face.Buddhism says that all living beings are equal. Qin Wan didn't believe it before, but after seeing the golden metaphor, he believed it again.

The huge Jin family fell as soon as they said it, not only in Liyang City, but also in the Nanliang and Beirong territories, people's description of Ning Yi became even more terrifying.

No matter what the truth is, people only know that Ning Yi got the big treasury of the Jin family, and directly uprooted the power of the Jin family from Liyang. Also the next goal.

The most incredible thing about the whole incident was that Shangqing Party, the patron saint of the Liyang Jin family, did not respond to this incident.Everyone said that Dan Xiuzi, the head of the Shangqing School, was old, and he only wanted to cultivate himself and ascend, and he didn't want to care about the secular world anymore.Some people also said that the power of the Shangqing faction has declined in recent years, and it is far worse than the Baishan Gate where Ning Yi is. Now that Ning Yi is stealing money from under their noses, they dare not even fart. They really lost their adults in the world.

As for Jin Feng, she was originally sentenced to exile according to the law because she did not report the fact that Jin Wenchao and the Shangqing faction conspired to harm Qin Wan.But when Jin Wenchao was beheaded, Jin Feng, who was forced to watch the sentence, went crazy on the spot. He rushed to the execution ground to pick up Jin Wenchao's head, but was directly hacked to death by the officers and soldiers present, and died in front of Jin Wenchao's corpse.

Qin Wan was wearing a silver fox cloak and stood under the porch of the main house of the Jin family mansion, staring at the empty yard in a daze.

She followed Ning Yi to Liyang and within half a month, the whole Liyang changed.A branch of the Northern Army marched in from the south gate of Liyang City, and was officially stationed here to maintain the stability of the city. Liyang Prefecture Yin Weihang performed outstandingly in handling the affairs of the Jin family, and was promoted by Ning Yi and transferred to Yingyang. The Governor of Liyang was replaced by a civil official from Beirong.

When the common people saw Ning Yi again, they no longer ignored Ning Yi like they did when they first came, but also learned to kneel and kowtow like the common people in Yang City, and they no longer even dared to take a peek.

Recently, Ning Yi has been so busy day and night that Qin Wan hasn't seen him for several days.

"Madam, today is the second day of the second lunar month. Liyang eats Longxu noodles, Yingyang City eats dragon rice balls, and Beirong Hancheng eats beef dumplings according to Lord Xiaobai. So what shall we eat today?" Liuying saw Qin Wan Not very energetic, deliberately looking for something to ask.

Qin Wan thought for a while: "Ning Yi is only a New Year's Eve, don't you know he won't be able to pass February [-]nd? Liu Ying, go find Yuan Ying and see if Ning Yi didn't pass February [-]nd in previous years. If so, ask him What to eat, if not, we will follow the local custom to eat dragon beard noodles."

Liuying got the order to go to Yuan Ying.When she came back, she told Qin Wan that Yuan Ying said that Ning Yi was only February [-] in previous years.

After hearing this, Qin Wan asked Liu Ying to make noodles: "By the way, don't forget to make a copy for Xi Bao as well."

Xibao has been officially adopted by Ning Yi as his adopted son, changed his surname to Ning, gave him the name Xizhao, and granted him the title of Prince Liyang.

Since losing his mother, Xibao often sleeps with Qin Wan at night, and he no longer calls Qin Wan "sister", but listens to the nanny's teachings and changes his name to "Qin Niang".

It's not "Concubine Qin", and it's not "Mrs. Qin". After Qin Wan heard the title "Mrs. Qin", she felt that Xi Bao's nurse of the Jin family was quite wise. This change of title was heard from Xiao Xi Bao's mouth. Just like "mother", this can be regarded as subtly finding someone for Xi Bao to rely on when the Jin family is in turmoil.Qin Wan saw Xi Bao's sensitivity and sensibility, so she didn't refuse, and silently accepted the child.

The wintersweet blooms in the west courtyard are gorgeous, golden in color with a red bean-colored flower heart, and Ling Han exudes a refreshing fragrance.

Qin Wan stood beside the winter plum and smelled it lightly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"What are you doing?" Ning Yi's voice suddenly appeared behind him.

Qin Wan turned around to look, but she hadn't seen her for a few days, Ning Yi had obviously just finished her work, and her brows were still tired.

"Why are you here?" Qin Wan asked.

Ning Yi walked up to her: "I heard from Yuan Ying that you came to ask me if it's February [-]nd?"

"Yuan Ying said you were no good." Qin Wan said honestly.

Ning Yi smiled: "She has already said something wrong for herself and went to clean the carriage."

"No way..." Qin Wan thought of Yuan Ying being punished for brushing the carriage in the cold, feeling a little guilty.

"If you want to know these things, don't let the servants inquire, just come and ask me." Ning Yi took her hand, "I didn't do it before, maybe this year I will think about February [-]."

"Ning Yi, are you here to accompany me for the holidays?" Qin Wan felt the warmth of Ning Yi's hand, his rough and strong hand gave her a full sense of security.

Ning Yi said: "Let's go, I will take you to the best restaurant in Liyang City for dinner."

Qin Wan shook her head: "No, I told Liuying to go to the Longxu noodles."

Ning Yi said: "Come back and eat."

Qin Wan said: "It's all messed up when I come back."

Ning Yi frowned, and looked down at Qin Wan: "Are you going?"

Qin Wan was stunned for a moment, thinking that Ning Yi would treat guests to a big meal, it would be a fool not to go: "Go, Ning Yi, I want to eat meat."

Leaving the Jin family mansion, the two arrived at the most prosperous Yongping Avenue in Liyang in a carriage, entered a restaurant called Zuixianlou, led by Xiao Erdi, boarded the Tianzi No. [-] private room on the top floor, and sat down overlooking the By the window of the entire Liyang city.

From a distance, you can see the white snow on Maoshan Mountain, and from a closer look, you can see the city street scene. It suddenly makes people feel enlightened, and the worries of the past few days seem to have dissipated a lot.

All kinds of delicacies were served, and Qin Wan toasted Ning Yi with tea instead of wine: "I wish His Royal Highness King Ning competes in the Central Plains, and wins the Kyushu as soon as possible."

"It's fine for you to talk about this kind of thing here. When you return to Hancheng with me, you must never say that again." Ning Yi smiled and clinked glasses with her.

Qin Wan drank the cup of tea in one gulp: "You still care about the royal family of Beirong?"

Ning Yi said: "In name, I can't betray the royal family of Beirong. Even if the whole world knows my ambition, I can't show it in the territory of Rong. Even if I can really unify Kyushu in the future, I can only honor the current Emperor Rong." An emperor, you can't really be the emperor yourself."

"Oh," Qin Wan nodded and said with a smile, "I understand this by coercing the emperor to command the princes."

"I can't say this in the future." Ning was also helpless.

"Understood." Qin Wan pursed her lips happily, and added a chicken leg to Ning Yi, "Ning Yi, there is a question that I have always wanted to ask but never dared to ask."

"what is the problem?"

"I heard from Yuan Ying that you have never passed New Year's Eve, the fifth day of the lunar new year and the Lantern Festival. If I hadn't sent Liu Ying to ask you today, you might not even have passed the second day of February," Qin Wan looked at with curious eyes. Ning Yi, "Why? Can you tell me?"
