Chapter 42 Returning to Beijing
"Why don't you tell me in advance if Elder Sister is coming, so I can prepare something to entertain Elder Sister."

Hearing the soft female voice behind her, Song Qinglan withdrew her attention, looked at the entrance of the hall, and slowly stood up from the chair.

Not seen for many years, her third younger sister is actually so slim.Song Qinglan smiled, stepped forward to meet Song Qingan, and wished each other good luck.

"It's rare to come back to the palace. You and my sister haven't seen each other for many years. I came directly. Qing'an won't blame me, right?"

Song Qinglan clung to Song Qingan's hand, and looked at her calmly while laughing.The person in front of me is wearing an ivory-white make-up jacket today, white jade earrings, and a coral hairpin with her hair simply coiled up, which is quite elegant.

"Eldest sister was joking, sit here."

Song Qing'an smiled, and led Song Qinglan to sit down.When she just came here, she saw many strange faces standing outside the hall, presumably they were all brought by her elder sister.

"Zhuyan, go down, I'll talk to my eldest sister about myself."

Zhu Yan came out of the side hall in response, and closed the door of the hall, and the hall was a little dark for a while.

Both of them didn't open their mouths, Song Qingan made tea by himself, and the fragrance wafted away, even Song Qinglan couldn't help closing his eyes and sniffing.

"The tea in Sanmei Palace is so fragrant."

Song Qing'an was brewing a cup, and when he heard the words, he handed it to Song Qinglan: "Thank you for your compliment, elder sister, let's try it quickly."

Song Qinglan picked up the teacup and asked before drinking it: "Where does Sanmei get this tea?"

Song Qing'an moved slowly, and replied: "It was sent by the concubine Chen, the empress said, this is a new tea cultivated in Linzhou."

Concubine Chen?

Song Qinglan's movements froze, the tea in front of him was not good to drink, and it was not good to not drink it.

She took a small sip, feeling flustered, and put down the teacup without drinking any more.

Song Qing'an looked at her expression, and when she saw her looking over again, she quickly lowered her eyelashes to hide the smile in her eyes.

"It's really good tea."

Song Qinglan reluctantly praised, but Song Qingan didn't answer, and the hall became quiet again.

Song Qing'an is so bright, does she have something to do with Concubine Chen, or not?

Song Qinglan suppressed her doubts and waited patiently for Song Qingan to speak.

The latter finally made the tea slowly, raised his eyes to look at Song Qinglan, and smiled slightly: "That's natural."

"Eldest sister is in a hurry to see me, what's the matter?"

"What are you talking about? Could it be that I can't come to see you if I have nothing to do?"

Song Qinglan said angrily, wanting to shake Song Qingan's hand very affectionately.Song Qingan quietly moved away from holding the teacup, leaving Song Qinglan free.

"Elder Sister came back suddenly this time, she couldn't be in a hurry to see me, could she?"

Song Qing'an's words were faintly thorny, but Song Qinglan's heart was a little relieved.

If Song Qing'an really showed no grievances, she would feel that what her mother said was probably true.

"After all, you and I are sisters. Even if I came here for other reasons, I should come to see you."

Song Qinglan smiled without hesitation, got up and said, "Don't bother me, I'll go first."

"Sister, go slowly."

Song Qing'an bowed respectfully, but had no intention of holding back.Song Qinglan didn't care, and looked at it affectionately like a child having a temper, then turned his gaze away and left.

It wasn't until the shadow of Song Qinglan's last servant wiped across the corridor that Song Qing'an straightened up, with all emotions suppressed on his face.

The eldest sister came here... I'm afraid she came to test out what kind of relationship she has with Concubine Chen.

But what is she going to do when she returns to Beijing?
Song Qing'an lowered her eyes, recalling the exhaustion in her eyes that could not be concealed when Song Qinglan was still in the palace.

It wouldn't be a trivial matter to make her elder sister feel tired.

Could it be that something happened to her Linzhou people in Beijing?
If this is the case, there is no need to worry too much about what will happen to the eldest sister.

"Princess, Miss Yushu is here."

Song Qingan's eyes lit up: "Please come in quickly."
-
Qinzhou.

Qiu Wenhua was cut in one arm during the battle, and has been recuperating for the past few days.Although Song Qinghuai had some minor injuries, he was much better compared to Qiu Wenhua.

Just when the medical officer came to change Qiu Wenhua's dressing, in order to divert attention, Qiu Wenhua chatted with Song Qinghuai.

"Second Highness, the general of Xiye, don't you need to send someone to have a trial?"

"No need." Song Qinghuai smiled warmly, "Only by leaving him alone can he become impatient and suspicious."

"That's right." Qiu Wenhua nodded, "I don't know who Xiyehui will send to negotiate peace."

"If I remember correctly, Xiye... still has a mission in Daliang."

Song Qinghuai seemed to have no intention of mentioning it, and Qiu Wenhua's eyes were fixed immediately.

"Yes...let's wait for His Majesty's order."

Estimating the date, the report should have arrived in Beijing, and there will be an imperial decree handed down in the near future.

Song Qinghuai sat down again, chatting with Qiu Wenhua for a while, seeing that the medicine was almost changed, he got up to leave.

Today is a rare sunny day in Qinzhou, Linyuan is waiting outside the tent, seeing Song Qinghuai coming to meet him hastily.

"Has anyone been sent?"

"Your Highness, everything has been arranged."

Song Qinghuai nodded slightly, and glanced in the direction of General Dahe's camp.

After so many days... It's time to give him some information.
-
A few days after Song Qinglan returned to Beijing, the palace was relatively peaceful.

But in fact, Song Qinglan had sent people to search several rounds in the middle of Beijing and the suburbs of Beijing, but no trace of Xie Hesi was found.

Although they were careful enough, they still attracted Dongchang's attention. Several people were arrested by Dongchang, and their whereabouts are unknown.

Song Qinglan wasn't worried about what would be revealed by the person taken away, but she was more worried that Pei Qing would guess directly and find Xie Hesi before they did.

If Xie Hesi falls into Dongchang's hands...it won't be so good.

Because, her son-in-law Xie Hechen is actually a member of the Pingshan Party who opposed Pei.

Dongchang has always wanted to deal with Xie Hechen, but due to his status, it is difficult to do so.If his sister was captured, the situation would be completely different.

Song Qinglan was so anxious that she almost never left the Changle Palace, and kept in touch with her subordinates all day long.On the contrary, Pei Qing was hardly in the palace these few days.

Song Qing'an hasn't been able to see Pei Qing for several days, and every time someone asks, the answer he gets is: "Master Palm Print is not in the palace, the princess will come back another day."

If Pei Qing hadn't just confirmed with her before, Song Qing'an would have wondered if Pei Qing despised her and did it on purpose.

Pei Qing has been extremely busy these past few days. It is said that the court can be called peaceful now, and even King Xuan is about to leave Beijing. What can be worth it?
Song Qingan was so bored that she was cutting flowers and branches in the palace, and the table was full of redundant branches.

"Cuizhu, what do you think Pei's palm print is busy with?"

Song Qingan opened his mouth abruptly, startling Cuizhu into a quiver.

"Reporting to the princess, maidservant...servant servant doesn't know."

"I was confused, I asked you what to do."

Song Qing'an chuckled, raised his hand and cut again.She was sitting facing the pane, and the sunlight poured on her face, giving her a strange beauty.For some reason, Cuizhu always felt that Song Qingan's action of cutting flower branches had a sense of careless cruelty.

It's very similar... Lord Palmprint.

Cui Zhu silently lowered her head, not daring to look any further.

Song Qing'an seemed to mention it casually, and then didn't ask Cui Zhu again.She put down the scissors and ordered Cui Zhu to come and clean up the table.

Taking advantage of this time, Song Qing'an went to the side hall.

Zhu Yan took advantage of the situation and stuffed the note into Song Qing'an's hand. She read it quickly, and then took a deep breath.

"Great……"

Song Qing'an clutched the note and murmured.

"Brother...Brother can finally come back."
