When Mo Tian saw Leng Qiyue and Peony, he shouted, "Peony, quickly run! Our matter has been exposed!"
Peony scolded, "How did you screw up when you were supposed to play my sister-in-law and send me in? Oh right, are you having a lustful heart?"
Mo Tian chuckled, "You've already guessed it. Aiya, I'll be leaving first." After saying that, he flipped over the fence and ran.
An aunt with a stick ran over with some people, saying, "Catch that girl, she might be a fake too."
Peony patted Leng Qiyue's shoulder and said, "Originally, I heard that you were here to accompany you. It's all because of that pervert, Mo Tian. I'll leave first. I'll come see you when I'm free." Like Mo Tian, Peony jumped over the wall to escape.
Those people chased after him and beat on the wall angrily, but in the end, they bitterly left.
Peony looked at Leng Qiyue and said, "That woman just now was the boss of Hubby Hall. How did you meet her?"
Leng Qiyue did not plan to hide it from him. She directly said, "We are friends. As for the reason we know each other, it's because I know medical skills. I helped her cure the poison."
Seeing Leng Qiyue's honest reply, Han Liu relaxed and said, "Okay, you can go rest."
Leng Qiyue returned to Senior Servant Qian's room while yawning. She hugged her blanket and slept for an entire afternoon. After dinner, she continued to read.
Later in the book, there was a story about a fox spirit. It was very interesting to read.
The story was about a young scholar who, in order to be able to study in peace, bought an old house in the wilderness. When the woodcutters on the mountain saw him living there, they reminded him, "There are often fox spirits living here, so you should hurry up and go down the mountain."
The scholar ignored the warning and continued to live.
That day, the scholar finished his book in his study. Seeing that it was already late, he prepared to sleep. Suddenly, he saw a beautiful woman standing outside the window and smiling coquettishly at him. The scholar was full of vigor. Seeing this scene, his heart could not help but tremble. His body trembled, and he stood up to chat with her.
The woman said, "I was just here for a meeting with the young master because the fox immortal in the garden saw that he looked extraordinary. If Young Noble does not mind, I am willing to love and defend with Young Noble. "
This scholar was young, yet he also coveted this woman's beauty. He wasn't afraid, so he pulled her into the room and the two of them started to have a storm brewing.
Just like that, a few days passed. That woman came to see the scholar every night. That night, as the two of them were on their way to Wu Mountain, they suddenly heard an old woman's voice scolding, "I've lived in this mountain for hundreds of years. Although my children are young and don't understand things, they often caught the attention of their neighbors. But we never did anything. "Why would a girl like you ruin our reputation?"
Only now did the scholar realize that this woman was using the name of the Celestial Fox Immortal to woo him.
Leng Qiyue understood the implications of this story, and then she looked at the annotations, which were more or less the same as her own analysis.
"Sometimes everyone says that person is a bad person, but this is not necessarily true. Just as everyone says that foxes are obscene, but the people in this story impersonate foxes and do shameful things, while foxes are more loyal than people. In a more profound sense, there were many ministers in the court who were scolded like foxes but had never done anything bad. Instead, those who had done so all claimed that they were innocent. "Therefore, you must have full confidence when killing a minister, or else you will suffer heavy losses."
Leng Qiyue thought for a moment, and felt that what he said was right. Didn't Cao Cao also wrongly kill his commander in chief of the navy? Otherwise, he should unite the Central Plains.
After reading the monarch chapter, there was the final chapter. The final chapter was relatively simple. It was some ideas on how to make the citizens live and work in peace. Leng Qiyue thought to herself, "It seems like all the women who read this book were too busy robbing men to care about the commoners." If they had, the works mentioned above would have been completed long ago.
Actually, Leng Qiyue didn't expect that there weren't many women who could obtain this book in the first place. They were usually focused on the first book and hadn't even read the last two.
Three days passed by quickly. Leng Qiyue handed the book over to Qian mama, who didn't even ask how many times she had read through it. She only carefully locked the book back into the box.
When Leng Qiyue came out of Senior Servant Qian's room, she said, "I can see that you've learned enough. Although you can't always maintain your ladylike appearance, you can handle certain situations, so you can graduate."
"I graduated?" Leng Qiyue simply could not believe her ears.
Han Liu said worriedly, "You should return to the palace as soon as possible. You don't know what's going on outside these days." "The empress dowager is helping the emperor with the talent show. In the future, you'll have more women to rob men from."
"What?" Leng Qiyue didn't know why the empress dowager had done such a thing, but her teeth itched with hatred. "Since Han Liu said that I have passed, I might as well return to the palace as soon as possible." "Okay, how do I get out?"
Han Liu said, "I've already sent someone to the palace to inform Her Majesty. I believe that someone will come to pick you up soon."
"Han Liu, thank you. Why don't you follow me back to the palace?" After she finished speaking, Leng Qiyue felt that she had been too rude. It had been quite difficult for her to leave the palace, so how could she be willing to go back?
Unexpectedly, Han Liu happily replied, "Okay, I'll follow you back to the palace."
"Huh?" Leng Qiyue was stunned.
Han Liu looked into the sky and smiled bitterly: "I don't want to go back to my house. Although the wages are not low, it is not as high as the wages in the palace." He would often get some rewards there, which would add up to several times the amount he got here. You know, my father's concubine gave birth to a disappointing son, so I have to save some silver for my father.
Leng Qiyue looked at Han Liu and asked seriously, "Han Liu, tell me, you didn't enter the palace with me only because of this."
Han Liu smiled. "The Empress is really smart. Actually, I'm not at ease with you. You don't have a trusted palace maid in the palace and you're just waiting to die. If necessary, I'll die for you."
Leng Qiyue frowned. "That won't happen. If I can't protect the people I like, then what's the use of me still living?" Rest assured, I definitely won't let you die for me. "
Han Liu nodded and helped Leng Qiyue pack up. Actually, there wasn't much to take, just two sets of clothes to change her clothes.
It was not yet noon when the eunuch carried Leng Qiyue away with a palanquin, while Han Liu silently followed.
The six of them walked quickly on the remote western street. The four eunuchs who were carrying the palanquin were strong and vigorous. Their footsteps were like flying swords, causing them to suffer greatly. Seeing that she couldn't bear it, Leng Qiyue let Han Liu sit in the palanquin.
Han Liu sat inside and fanned the wind with her hands. "I'm dead tired. If I knew I was going to run into the palace, I wouldn't have come with you."
Leng Qiyue smiled. "I'm regretting it. Let me tell you, you've already gotten on the scoundrel's palanquin. You can't get down."
Han Liu deliberately wore a stern face. "Tsk, tsk. Empress, don't ever go to a lady's study hall in the future, or you'll ruin her reputation."
Leng Qiyue pretended to be angry and said, "Good, you dare to tease me. Someone come at me, drag that girl out and hit a board." With that, she changed her tone and said, "Yes, this servant obeys."
When Han Liu saw Leng Qiyue's comical look, she could no longer hold it in and burst out laughing. Just as the two of them were laughing, they suddenly felt their bodies start to sink. Then, the two of them rolled out of the sedan chair.
Han Liu shouted, "You bold servant, how did you carry the palanquin? Eh? "Where is he?"
Leng Qiyue stood up straight and rubbed her buttocks. "What's going on?"
Han Liu's eyes quickly moved. She walked closer to Leng Qiyue and pulled her wrist. "Empress, we should not stay here any longer. Let's quickly run."
Before Leng Qiyue could understand what was going on, she heard a whoosh as an arrow was nailed to the ground. The arrow was not even an inch away from her, and its tail was still quivering; it was clear how powerful it was. The arrow seemed to have come from the direction where he had just passed by. She was sitting in a sedan across from the assassin. That was the reason why only one arrow had been shot.
"Empress, quickly leave." Han Liu gave Leng Qiyue another tug.
Leng Qiyue did not leave. Instead, she kicked off the arrow with her foot, grabbed the tail of the arrow, and let it fall into her arms. Then, she pulled Han Liu along an S-shaped trail as she ran away.
