Chapter 254: Chapter 254 No Lies

Chapter 254: Chapter 254 No LiesShaoyin Palace.

Lin'an was in a good mood. Today, Emperor Yuan Jing proposed to depose the empress in the court. After half a day of fermentation, almost everyone in the Dafeng officialdom knew about it.

Lin'an, who was in the palace, naturally heard about it.

The second prince, wearing a gorgeous red skirt, hummed a little tune while sitting on the swing of the grape vine frame. Under the hem of her skirt, two pairs of small and exquisite embroidered shoes swung happily.

It was natural that she was in a good mood. The queen admitted to framing the prince and killing Concubine Fu, so the prince brother would soon be able to get out of the Dali Temple. The mother concubine did not have to cry every day.

And, the dog slave also came back alive. In just half a decade, it was really a turn of events. Lin'an actually felt that the years were peaceful.

"Huaiqing must be very sad now. Humph, who asked the Queen to frame my brother, the Crown Prince... Well, considering that I am in a good mood, I will not show off to her these days."

The heart of making trouble is ready to move, but considering that Huaiqing's fist is bigger than hers, Bian Bian chooses to follow her heart's wishes and provoke Huaiqing later.

Bring the dog slave with you when the time comes. He is a hero who has fought against thousands of enemy troops and will definitely be able to protect himself.

The guards outside the garden came over, stopped more than ten meters away and stopped approaching, clasping their fists and said: "Your Highness, Lord Xu is here."

Bian Bian's face was instantly bright with a smile, "Please come in."

She sat on the swing without moving, but tilted her head, looking forward to it.

Xu Qian'an led the little eunuch in, sat at the stone table under the grape vine, and ate the fruits prepared by the palace maids for Lin'an, the cakes made by the chef of the imperial kitchen, and the specially supplied tea.

"Hey..." the maid standing by shouted.

"Huh?" Xu Qian'an looked at her in confusion.

"That was what His Highness drank." The maid said in a whisper.

"Oh, sorry, sorry." Xu Qian'an took another sip from the cup.

This time, Bian Bian couldn't hold it anymore, her face flushed, and she said angrily: "Xu Ningyan."

Just at this moment, a gust of wind blew, the grape vines swayed slightly, and the sun shone through the vines, sprinkled on her round oval face, her small mouth was rosy, her nose was straight, and her charming and affectionate peach blossom eyes were reluctant to speak, and under the blush on her cheeks, she exuded an indescribable charm.

A charming woman.

Huaiqing and Lin'an are both extremely outstanding beauties... It's a pity that although the other two princesses are pretty, they are far from the four words "beautiful in the prosperous age"... Xu Qian'an felt sorry.

Otherwise, he would try every means to catch all the princesses of Dafeng.

Lord Xu is not only the favorite of the eldest princess, but also the favorite of the second prince. He has a promising future... the little eunuch thought.

In the huge capital, apart from the princes and princesses in the palace, the only one who can get along with His Highness Lin'an like this is probably Lord Xu.

In the past few days, the little eunuch followed Xu Qi'an to investigate the case and witnessed his interactions with Princess Huaiqing and Princess Lin'an. Even a blind man could see that the two princes valued and appreciated Xu Qi'an very much.

"Isn't the case closed?" Bian Bian said crisply: "Dog slave, why do you still want to come to the palace to handle the case."

She judged that Xu Qi'an was still investigating the case based on the existence of the little eunuch, otherwise he would be the only one to come to Shaoyinyuan at this moment.

"The case is not over yet..." Xu Qi'an exhaled hard and put on a sad expression: "Your Highness, am I your man?"

"Of course." Bian Bian nodded without hesitation.

"I was bullied." Xu Qian'an covered his face, and was filled with grief: "My family is particularly difficult. My second uncle told me since I was a child that children from poor families have to grow up early....

"But, that damned bastard in Jingxiu Palace extorted ten taels of silver from me."

Although Lin'an was a bitch, she was still very loyal. Upon hearing this, she was really furious. She jumped off the swing with a "swoosh" and raised her eyebrows:

"Let's go to Jingxiu Palace. This palace will help you get justice."

The silver is small, but the people who bullied her Lin'an are a big problem.

Xu Qian'an followed the princess "well-behavedly", looking aggrieved. After walking for a while, he asked casually:

"Your Highness, is there a maid named Lang'er beside Concubine Chen?"

"Yes." Lin'an nodded.

"This maid is an old lady in Jingxiu Palace, right?"

"Yes, I have been serving my mother since I entered the palace."

"Your Highness, can you tell me about this person, such as what he likes, what he hates, and what happened recently."

"Why would I care about what a palace maid is doing recently?"

Bian Bian said confidently. She thought for a while and added: "She likes to eat mung bean cakes very much. I often see my mother give her the leftover mung bean cakes. She likes to eat

them very much."

During the question and answer, they arrived at Jingxiu Palace.

From a distance, they saw the gatekeeper eunuch who had just "embezzled" ten taels of silver

from Xu Qiyan.

Xu Qiyan stepped forward and slapped him, then pointed at the eunuch who was covering his face and said: "Your Highness, he is the one who blackmailed me."

"You..."

The gatekeeper eunuch covered his burning face, angry and furious. He didn't expect Xu Qiyan to bring the second prince back to cause trouble.

How could he be a member of Concubine Chen's palace? He was a seventh-rank official in front of the Prime Minister. He was a member of Concubine Chen's palace.

Generally speaking, foreign officials dare not be so hard on the eunuchs in the palace. If they suffer a loss, they will mostly swallow it and swallow their anger.

"Another slap in the face."

In front of outsiders, Lin'an maintained the attitude of a princess and gave cold orders.

Xu Qiyan slapped him again, causing the gatekeeper eunuch to stagger and have tinnitus.

"You dare to blackmail me? I'll forgive you for the sake of my mother. If you dare to disrespect Lord Xu again next time, you will be demoted to hard labor."

Lin'an's pretty face was like frost, "Spit out the silver. "

Willing to give a trivial gatekeeper eunuch a chance, she is actually a very kind woman, more

innocent than most royal women... Xu Qi'an said to himself, it is precisely because of this

character that she is easy to provoke scumbags.

Lin'an and I have a good relationship, I have to keep a close eye on her and can't let her be harmed by scumbags.

The gatekeeper eunuch was unwilling, five taels of silver was more than his monthly salary, but he didn't dare to disobey the order of the second prince, so he had to hand it over.

He took out the silver note that had just been warmed up and presented it with both hands: "My servant is a dog eye, please don't blame me, Lord Xu."

Xu Qi'an didn't take it, "I gave you ten taels."

Ten taels?!

The gatekeeper eunuch raised his head, stunned, and argued: "It's obviously five taels, how

can Lord Xu wrongly accuse me."

Xu Qi'an immediately looked at Biao Biao and said loudly: "Your Highness, look at this dog thing who is hypocritical, he doesn't take you seriously at all."

Lin'an stared at her peach blossom eyes that could never be fierce.

"I dare not, I dare not..."

The gatekeeper eunuch groped for a long time and took out three taels of silver and a handful

of silver coins, crying: "This is all I have."

Xu Qian'an smiled and put the silver into his arms: "Doing good things may not be rewarded, but if you don't do good things, you will be liquidated one day.

"I will teach you a lesson. This silver is just a gift."

Some people always think that if they do something wrong, they just need to apologize. No matter how aggressive others are, they are just ignorant. If apologies are useful, what is the use of laws... You cheated me of five taels of silver, and it's over if you return it? Wishful

thinking.

Then, he turned his head and looked at the rounded profile of Bian Bian, "Since you are here, Your Highness, please take me to Jingxiu Palace. It just so happens that I have to finish the

case of Concubine Fu."

At that moment, Bian Bian took him across the gate and into the yard. "Your Highness, I'm looking for a maid named Lang'er. Please help me get her."

Xu Qi'an followed the maid into the side hall, while Bian Bian went to visit his mother. He

shouted to the back of the girl in red skirt. Without turning back, she said in a delicate voice,

"I know."

After entering the side hall, a little maid stood not far away.

Xu Qi'an asked, "Where is the toilet?"

"Sir, wait a moment." The maid responded softly, went out to find a little eunuch, and said,

"Take you to the toilet." Sёarch* The ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Xu Qi'an followed the eunuch out of the side hall and went to the toilet in the south of the courtyard. He closed the door, poured out the Confucian version of the "magic book" from the fragments of the earth book, tore off the paper recording the art of looking at qi, and

ignited it with qi.

Two streams of clear air shot out from his pupils and then converged.

"I've been using the magic book for a long time, and it's become half thinner. No, I have to keep using this useful thing. After the Spring Examination, I'll go to Yunlu Academy to meet my three teachers. Well, I have to think about it in advance before I can get their poems for

free..."

Returning to the side hall, he drank tea and waited for the maid named Lang'er.

.....

Inner courtyard, main house.

Concubine Chen leaned lazily on the soft couch, and two close maids served her, one rubbing

her shoulders and the other kneading her legs.

There was no imperial concubine in Emperor Yuan Jing's harem, and Concubine Chen could be

said to be second only to the emperor and above all the concubines. Moreover, in a short time, her position in the harem would be truly invincible.

Holding a book in her hand, Concubine Chen smiled and said, "This "Spring Courtyard Moon" is really well written. The more I read it today, the more I like it."

Lang'er pursed her lips and chuckled, "Your Majesty is in a good mood, and the book feels

good."

Another maid smiled and echoed, "Yes, although the prince has not yet come out of the Dali Temple, it is only a matter of time. Your Majesty has been crying recently, and we are so

distressed."

Lang'er whispered, "I really didn't expect that the queen would be so vicious, harming Concubine Fu and framing the prince. We really thought she was kind-hearted." Concubine Chen frowned and scolded, "Don't talk about the queen."

"Your Majesty, you are too cautious. His Majesty proposed to abolish the queen in the court.

After the officials confirm it, she will no longer be the queen." Another maid giggled.

"Perhaps our queen will be the queen soon."

Concubine Chen frowned repeatedly, wanting to reprimand the two outspoken maids, when

she suddenly heard a sound of light footsteps.

"Mother, Lin'an is here."

The light and shadow outside the door flickered, and Lin'an's shadow fell into the house, and

then, the fiery red skirt was like a cluster of fireworks swaying in the wind.

The two senior maids tacitly kept silent and ended the topic. Concubine Chen showed a loving look, straightened her slender waist, and waved: "Lin'an,

didn't you just come this morning?"

"You miss mother, I wish I could stay in Jingxiu Palace and accompany mother every day."

Lin'an is a girl who knows how to act like a spoiled child. She is beautiful and sweet-mouthed.

Both Emperor Yuan Jing and Concubine Chen dote on her very much. "Then chat with mother for a while. When you feel bored, see you in Shaoyin Garden."

Concubine Chen took her daughter's hand and asked her to sit next to her.

"Okay!"

After Bian Bian sat down, she said in a delicate voice: "I miss my mother, and I'm here to do

something."

Concubine Chen smiled and said softly: "What's the matter?"

Bian Bian looked at Lang'er and ordered: "Lord Xu has something to ask you. He is waiting in

the side hall of the outer courtyard. Go over."

After that, he explained to Concubine Chen: "It's Xu Qian'an, the night watchman I trained.

Mother also has an impression of him. He is the one who handled the case of the crown prince.

It seems that he has something to ask Lang'er, but the servant guarding the door will not let

him in." Concubine Chen pondered for a moment and waved her hand, "Lang'er, go see him." "Yes." Lang'er said, with both hands flat on her lower abdomen, lotus steps, stepped over the

threshold, left the yard, and her figure gradually walked away.

Lin'an retracted his gaze and followed the topic, "Mother, the prince's innocence can be restored thanks to Xu Qian'an. Mother, you don't know, I worked so hard to train him. "You always say that Huaiqing can train talents and build power, but Lin'an is not bad. When I

first met him, he was still a small constable in Changle County. It was not because of my hard work that I trained him so well. "

Concubine Chen was surprised and said, "How did you know a small constable?" "Oh, don't care about these details. Anyway, the talents I trained saved the prince, right?"

"Yes, yes, thanks to Lin'an. If it weren't for the people trained by Lin'an, your prince would be

in danger this time. "Concubine Chen pinched her daughter's voluptuous oval face.

.....

In the side hall, Xu Qian'an sat on a chair, holding a teacup in his hand and blew gently.

The tea from Jingxiu Palace, even if it is used to entertain guests, is much more mellow than

the good tea collected by my aunt.

"But it is still a lot worse than the tea Lin'an drank just now. I will ask Lin'an for a few taels of

tea later, and let my second uncle and aunt taste the tribute."

Xu Qi'an thought to himself, drank a mouthful happily, then looked at the eunuch standing

beside him and said with a smile:

"Little eunuch, you are sent by His Majesty to supervise me. In official terms, you are an imperial envoy. Sit down, sit down, don't stand."

The little eunuch was quite knowledgeable and said helplessly: "Out of the capital, you are an

imperial envoy. I am still in the palace, so I am still a servant, just like those governors, who are majestic outside, but when they return to the capital, they are just a small censor." This made Xu Qi'an laugh, "It's very accurate, very accurate."

If Governor Zhang returned to the capital, he would be a younger brother, but outside, he was

very majestic, even big men like the governor and the commander-in-chief had to be respectful and call themselves subordinates.

"By the way, little eunuch is working in His Majesty's bedroom, right?" Xu Qi'an asked.

The little eunuch nodded.

"After the eunuch reported yesterday, Your Majesty went to the Queen's Fengqi Palace?"

There is a question that Xu Qian'an has kept in his heart for a long time. Yesterday, the origin

of Huang Xiaorou and the Queen was found in the Crab Pavilion, and the clues began to point to the Queen, but the income and expenditure records of the Imperial Pharmacy were quietly torn up, so there is no conclusive evidence to prove that it was the Queen who saved Huang

Xiaorou.

With the wisdom and scheming of Emperor Yuan Jing, he should not have been in a hurry to question the Queen before the case was clear.

If Emperor Yuan Jing was really such an impulsive and brainless person, he should have directly abolished the Prince after the case of the Crown Prince. "No..." The little eunuch shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "It was Concubine Chen who went to Your Majesty's bedroom to cry and accuse the Queen of framing the Prince. Your Majesty, thinking of the relationship with the Concubine, went to Fengqi Palace to question the Queen. It was also at that time that the slave was called by His

Majesty to question him. At that time, the slave had not yet taken the initiative to report." How did Concubine Chen know the progress of the case?

Needless to say, it must have been Biao Biao who told her. When the little girl saw that the

case had made a breakthrough and was one step closer to the crown prince, it was inevitable that she would happily find her mother to share her joy.

As they were chatting, a woman in a lotus green palace dress stepped over the threshold and

entered the side hall.

She had handsome features, fair skin, and was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old.

Her eyes were the kind of round almond eyes, the same as Chu Caiwei, but not as big as the

latter.

Chu Caiwei's big eyes always reminded Xu Qi'an of the paper wife in the second dimension. Coupled with her round oval face, sweet and cute, she deserved the title of big-eyed cute girl.

The palace maid entered the side hall, bowed, and said, "Meet Lord Xu." "Sister Lang'er." Xu Qi'an smiled and returned the greeting. Lang'er stood in the side hall and nodded slightly, "What does Lord Xu want to ask? The

queen is still waiting for me to serve her."

Xu Qian'an immediately said, "I'm sorry, I'm also doing my job according to the emperor's

order."

After a pause, he stopped talking nonsense and asked directly, "Sister Lang'er, have you been

to the imperial pharmacy a few days ago?" Lang'er nodded.

"What did you go there for?"

"Since the prince's accident, the queen has been crying all day and has been in a bad mood.

She had a headache that day, so I went to the imperial pharmacy to get some medicine to

soothe her mind." Lang'er answered frankly.

"Did you tear up the income and expenditure account book of the imperial pharmacy?" Xu Qian'an asked. He was also so straightforward with other palace maids and eunuchs on the list. With the Qi-

seeking technique, it is equivalent to a lie detector that works all the time, which is better

than surveillance.

Although the Qi-watching technique has many limitations, it can be shielded by magic tools, is useless for sorcerers, and cannot be used to accuse officials above the fourth rank. The Fufei

case is related to the foundation of the country, and the Qi-watching technique cannot be used as evidence.

But for these eunuchs and palace maids, the Qi-watching technique is not restricted, and Xu

Qi'an is only using it as an auxiliary.

I will first confirm that you are a werewolf, and then investigate you. This is much simpler and

more convenient than following the clues.

Lang'er was stunned, and seemed to have not expected Xu Qi'an to be so simple and crude.

She shook her head: "No."

Huh, it's the truth... Xu Qi'an, who performed the Qi-watching technique, sighed in

disappointment in his heart.

It seems that his judgment was wrong. The person who tore up the account book did not enter

the imperial pharmacy within five days, but earlier. As for sneaking into the imperial

pharmacy, this possibility is not great.

Because the imperial pharmacy of Emperor Yuan Jing stored precious elixirs, and the dog

emperor's small treasury was used to make elixirs, it is not an exaggeration to describe the imperial pharmacy as a treasure house.

Since it is a treasure house, it is naturally heavily guarded outside, and it is not easy to sneak

in.

"Two possibilities, the person who tore up the account book entered the Imperial Pharmacy

five days ago. Or, there was a traitor in the Imperial Pharmacy. I will ask the palace maids and

eunuchs working in the Imperial Pharmacy later..."

Thinking of this, Xu Qian'an stood up and bowed, saying: "I have finished asking, but the case

is not over yet, and I may visit again in the future."

He gave a shot of prevention first to avoid being turned away again.

Hearing this, Lang'er's eyes showed obvious impatience. Xu Qian'an hurriedly said: "Send some small gifts to Sister Lang'er later. The mung bean cake

of Guiyue Tower in the capital is a signature snack."

He knew that Lang'er liked to eat mung bean cakes. Lin'an told him on the way to Jingxiu

Palace.

"No need," Lang'er shook her head, with a sense of alienation and a little resistance, and said lightly: "I don't like green bean cakes."

Am I hated... Haha, this woman looks like she is almost as old as a wolf, but she is so rude to a

rare handsome man like me.

Is the effect of the rebirth pill not good enough, or is it that the flower path has never been

swept by guests, so she doesn't know the good of men?

"In this case, then I won't bother you..."

Xu Qian'an suddenly froze.

In the field of vision provided by the Qi-watching technique, Lang'er's emotions are very

stable, and she is not lying. Not lying?!
