Not long after, Wei Cunqing came back.

Liu Qin stood up a little worriedly, "Seventh Brother! What did Jiang He say to you?"

Liu Qin asked directly, and Wei Cunqing answered directly, "Nothing, Jiang He just wants me to be a middleman to ease the relationship between him and his uncle. After all, Jiang He rejected his uncle once before, and he's afraid that his uncle will hold a grudge against him."

Although Jiang He was worrying too much, he would plead for Jiang He.

What they need most now are allies, the more the better!

After the civil unrest is quelled, we will still need the full support of these people.

Especially a brave general like Jiang He!

"I see! I was worried that Jiang He would suddenly turn against us! Seventh brother, what should we do if Jiang He suddenly turns against us and takes us hostage?" Liu Qin prepared for the worst.

If Jiang He really did this, they would have to think of a countermeasure.

Wei Cunqing shook his head, "No! Jiang He is not a fool. What's the point of him suddenly turning against us and arresting us? What good would it do him? What good would it do him if he worked for Concubine Yao?"

Imperial Concubine Yao appointed people based on personal connections. All those promoted in the court were people related to the Yao family. Those ministers who were capable but unwilling to obey Imperial Concubine Yao's interference in government were all demoted or imprisoned.

Jiang He has no relationship with Concubine Yao, so Concubine Yao naturally would not trust Jiang He.

If Concubine Yao were allowed to control the entire Northern Han, he would definitely not have a good ending and would probably be forced to hand over all his military power.

Jiang He had no reason to turn against them.

However, Liu Qin's concerns were reasonable. "But we should be careful. If Jiang He really makes a move, you take the child and leave first. I'll hold them back!"

Hearing this, Liu Qin felt a little touched.

Wei Cunqing is the seventh prince! When Wei Wenyan ascends the throne in the future, he will be Wei Wenyan's closest uncle and have a noble status.

Is it worth it for him to take risks for them?

They are just... a few desperate people. Are they worthy of Wei Cunqing protecting them with his life?

"Seventh Brother, is it worth it... for you to put yourself in danger just to protect a few people who have nothing to do with you?" Liu Qin asked.

Wei Cunqing: ...

How did they become strangers? Hadn't they become family members who had shared weal and woe along the way?

Although Lin Yuehong and the others have no blood relationship with him, they have been through thick and thin together along the way, and he has long regarded Lin Yuehong and the others as his own children.

"Qin'er! What you said is chilling. How come you and I have become unrelated people?" Wei Cunqing asked back.

Liu Qin pursed her lips. They had no relationship at all. They were just strangers who were teased by fate.

"We... have no relationship at all." Liu Qin answered truthfully.

Wei Cunqing held his forehead. He didn't want to say this! Every word that Liu Qin said could hurt his heart.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's take a good rest while my uncle and the others haven't arrived in Luzhou yet. Our next step will be to head straight to Kyoto." Wei Cunqing said, feeling a little excited.

When he left Kyoto before, he was in a terrible state and hid from place to place, fearing that he would be followed by King Ying's men.

Now he was returning to Kyoto with a clear conscience! This time, he was going to question his father and ask him to redress his brother's innocence!

"Seventh brother, when you return to Beijing this time, you...you have to be careful. Prince Zhennan has made the greatest contribution, so you...you have to be careful when dealing with him." Liu Qin reminded.

She could only say these words to Wei Cunqing now. When Ye Xiaotian arrived, she would not have the chance to speak.

Although Ye Xiaotian is Wei Cunqing's uncle, but... Ye Xiaotian is just his uncle! Not his father.

Even his father was willing to take his life, let alone his uncle.

This time when returning to Kyoto, Ye Xiaotian's achievements surpassed his master. If Ye Xiaotian had ambitions to become emperor, Wei Wenyan and Wei Cunqing would be in danger.

Although she and Wei Cunqing had no relationship, they were acquaintances after all. Naturally, she hoped that the person who would ascend the throne would be one of Wei Wenyan and Wei Cunqing.

If Ye Xiaotian usurps the throne, they would probably be in danger too.

Wei Cunqing sighed softly. He didn't want to face this matter, but now Liu Qin brought it up directly.

He had no choice but to face it.

He was indeed worried that his uncle would usurp the throne, but he was still willing to trust his uncle!

If my uncle ascends the throne, the Northern Han Dynasty will probably be plunged into new civil unrest.

But he believed that his uncle was not such a person!

My uncle is ambitious, but he is not stupid. He usurped the throne and became emperor, but he cannot keep the position stable and he also has to bear the blame. My uncle is not that stupid.

Wei Cunqing held Liu Qin's hand, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "Qin'er, are you worried about me?"

Liu Qin: ...

Isn't this nonsense?

Of course she was worried about him!

Only when Wei Wenyan and Wei Cunqing are doing well, she will have a backer!

If Wei Wenyan and Wei Cunqing were killed, she would not only be without any support, but would also be in danger of being killed.

For her and Lin Yuehong's sake, she should also worry about Wei Cunqing.

She nodded in agreement, "Of course! Seventh Brother, we're all in this together. We prosper together and suffer together! If anything happens to you, who will be our backer?"

Wei Cunqing's mouth twitched a few times. It turned out that she was afraid of losing her backing!

Humph! Even if Wei Wenyan successfully ascends the throne and becomes the regent uncle, will he definitely become Liu Qin's backer?

They have no relationship! Why should he be their backer?

"Qin'er! Are you so sure that I am willing to be your backer? Aren't you afraid that I will destroy the bridge after crossing it and put you directly in jail after arriving in Kyoto?" Wei Cunqing deliberately threatened her.

Liu Qin was slightly stunned. She asked, "Why? We haven't offended you. Why are you doing this to us?"

Wei Cunqing: ...

he……

"I just don't like you, so I want to punish you!" Wei Cunqing said harshly.

Liu Qin: ...

Wei Cunqing shouldn't be such a perverted person!

What was he doing to them for no reason?

Liu Qin pursed her lips and smiled: "No! The Seventh Brother I know is not such an unreasonable person! You won't do that!"

Liu Qin said confidently that if Wei Cunqing was really that perverted, he would have plenty of opportunities to kill them, so why wait until now?

Wei Cunqing was a little helpless, "Go to bed early! I have to accompany Jiang He to the central army camp tomorrow."

…

Liu Qin and others stayed in Jiang Mansion for a few days. During these days, Huang only sent a nanny to deliver some things, but today she came in person.

Goodbye Huang, Huang is much more enthusiastic than before.

"Miss Liu, are you used to living here these days?" Huang asked with a concerned smile.

Liu Qin frowned slightly. What did Huang want to do?

If someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief!

Huang definitely has no good intentions!

"Thank you for your concern, Mrs. Jiang. We are fine. We are sorry to bother you." Liu Qin replied with a smile.
