Nightwatcher Chapter 24: No lying

Chapter 255 No Lies

Shaoyin Palace.

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

Lin'an in the palace has naturally heard of it.

The Second Royal Highness, wearing a gorgeous red dress, sits on the swing of the grapevine frame humming a small song, and under the skirt, two pairs of small and exquisite embroidered shoes are happily dangling.

She should be in a good mood, and the queen admitted that she had framed the prince and killed the concubine, so the prince's brother could soon come out of Dali Temple.

The mother and concubine do not have to wash her face with tears every day.

Also, the dog minion came back alive. In just half a decade, it's almost always running.

Lin'an actually feels a kind of peaceful years.

"Huaiqing must be very sad now, huh, who let the queen frame my prince brother...Well, for the sake of my good mood, I won't ask her to show off these days. "

The heart of being a demon is about to move, but considering that Huaiqing's fists are bigger than his own, she chooses to obey Xin's wishes, and will find Huaiqing to provoke him later.

At that time, bring the dog minion with him. He is a hero who fought against thousands of enemy troops. He will definitely protect himself.

The guard from outside the garden came over, stopped more than a dozen meters away and stopped approaching, clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness, Master Xu is here."

The smile on the mounted face is instantly bright, "please please."

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

Xu Qi'an led the **** in, sitting on the stone table under the vine trellis, eating the fruit prepared by the palace maid for Lin'an, the cake made by the chef of the imperial kitchen, and the special tea.

"Eh..." the maid who stood by the side shouted.

"Huh?" Xu Qi looked at her puzzled.

"His Royal Highness drank it." The lady of the court groaned.

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

Now, the mounting can't stop, the pink face is flushed, and she groans, "Xu Ningyan."

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and the vines swayed slightly. The sun shines through the vines on her round goose-egg face, her small mouth is rosy, her nose is beautiful, and her charming and passionate peach eyes are still waiting to talk, on her cheeks. Against the backdrop of the red glow, there is an indescribable charm.

A charming woman.

Huaiqing and Lin'an are both extremely outstanding beauties...Unfortunately, although the other two princesses are delicate and beautiful, they are not a small distance from the words "Prosperity Beauty"... Xu Qi'an felt sorry.

Otherwise, he tried everything he could to catch Dafeng's princess.

Sir Xu is both the favored subject of the eldest princess and the favored subject of the Second Highness. He has a promising future... the **** said heartily.

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

In the past few days, the little **** followed Xu Qi'an's investigation and witnessed his getting along with Princess Huaiqing and Princess Lin'an. The blind man could see that the two magistrates attached great importance to and appreciated Xu Qi'an.

"Isn't the case closed." Biao Biao said crisply: "Dog minion, why are you going to the palace to handle the case?"

Based on the existence of the eunuch, she judged that Xu Qi'an was still investigating the case, otherwise he was the one who came to Shaoyinyuan at this moment.

"The case is not over yet..." Xu Qi'an exhaled vigorously and put on a sad expression: "His Royal Highness, am I yours?"

"Of course." Mounting nodded without hesitation.

"I was bullied." Xu Qi'an covered his face, and grief came from it: "My family has special difficulties. Since I was young, my second uncle told me that children from poor families have been in charge early...

"But, the dog thing that suffered a thousand swords in Jingxiu Palace, blackmailed me ten taels of silver."

Although Lin'an is a bitch, he is still very loyal. Hearing the words, he was really furious. He jumped off the swing and raised his eyebrows:

"Go, go to Jingxiu Palace, this palace will preside over justice for you."

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

Xu Qi'an followed the princess "behavely", with an aggrieved appearance, walked for a while, and asked casually:

"His Royal Highness, is there a court lady named Lang'er beside Chen Guifei?"

"Yeah." Lin'an nodded.

"This palace lady is an old man from Jingsu Palace, right."

"Yes, since I entered the palace, I have served my mother and concubine."

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

"How can my palace care about what a palace lady is doing recently."

She said frankly, she thought about it, and added: "I really like to eat mung bean cake. I often see the queen give her the leftover mung bean cake. She loves it very much."

After one question and one answer, I arrived at Jingxiu Palace.

Far away, I saw the **** who had “greeted” ten taels of silver from Xu Qi'an just now.

Xu Qi'an stepped forward with a slap, then pointed to the **** who covered his face and said, "Your Highness, he blackmailed me."

"You....."

The gatekeeper's **** was holding his fiery face and was angry and angry. He didn't expect Xu Qi'an to bring his Second Highness back to make trouble.

How come I am also a person in the palace of the imperial concubine Chen, and there is a seventh-rank official in front of the Shoufu gate, he is the person in front of the imperial concubine Chen.

Generally speaking, foreign ministers did not dare to be so hard with the **** in the palace. After suffering a loss, most of them swallowed and swallowed.

"One more palm."

In front of outsiders, Lin'an kept the princess's proper posture and gave cold orders.

Xu Qi'an slapped it again, and the gatekeeper **** staggered, ringing in his ears.

"The people in this palace also dare to blackmail, and I will spare you once for the sake of the mother and concubine. Next time I dare to be disrespectful to Mr. Xu and be demoted to do coolies."

Lin'an has a pretty face like frost, "spit out the silver."

Willing to give a trivial gatekeeper **** a chance. She is actually a very kind woman, more innocent than most royal women... Xu Qianxin said that it is precisely because of her temper that she is easy to provoke scumbags. .

Lin'an has a good relationship with me. I have to watch her closely and not let her be harmed by scumbags.

The **** at the gate was unwilling, and the five taels of silver was more than his one-month bill, but he did not dare to violate the order of the Second Highness, so he could only hand it over.

He took out the bank note he had just warmed up, and offered it with both hands: "The servant dog looks down on people, please don't blame Mr. Xu."

Xu Qi'an did not answer, "I gave you twelve taels."

Twelve? !

The **** of the gatekeeper raised his head, dumbfounded, and defended: "It's obviously five taels, how can Master Xu wrong a minion."

Xu Qi'an immediately looked at Biaobi and said loudly: "His Royal Highness, look at this dog thing that violates the yin and the yang, it doesn't put you in your eyes."

Lin'an stared at her peachy eyes that couldn't be fierce.

"The slave dare not, the slave dare not..."

The gatekeeper **** touched for a long time, and found out three taels of silver, a handful of broken silver, crying: "There are only so many slaves."

Xu Qi'an smiled and took the money into his arms: "Good deeds may not be rewarded, but if you do not do good deeds, one day you will be liquidated.

"This official will teach you a lesson, and these talents should be regarded as bundle repairs."

Some people always think that they have done something wrong and just apologize. No matter how aggressive they are, the other person is not sensible. If an apology is useful, what do you still need to do with the law... If it pits me five taels of silver, it will be over when I return? Want to be beautiful.

Next, he turned his head and looked at the rounded face of the framed line, "I'm here, so your Royal Highness will take me to Jingxiu Palace. It just happens that the humble job is about to end the Fufei case."

At the moment, Biaozhuo led him across the courtyard gate and into the courtyard.

"His Royal Highness, what the humble post is looking for is a maid named Lang'er, please help me to invite it."

Xu Qi'an followed the palace maid into the side hall, and then went to see his mother and concubine. He shouted towards the back of the red skirt, the red skirt did not look back, and said softly: "I know."

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

Xu Qi'an asked: "Where is the latrine."

"Master, wait a minute." The court lady replied softly and went out to find a young eunuch, saying: "Take the adults to the latrine."

Xu Qi'an left the side hall with the eunuch, went to the latrine in the south of the compound, and closed the door. He dumped the Confucian version of the "magic book" from the fragments of the book from the ground, tore off the paper recording Wang Qi technique, and guided it with Qi. Burn.

Two clear qi shot out from the pupil, and then converged.

"When I use it, the magic book is half thin. No, such a useful thing, I want to keep using it. After Chunwei, I will go to Yunlu Academy and see my three teachers. Um, Bai Whoring their poems must be planned in advance........"

Back to the Pian Ting, he drank tea and waited for the palace lady named Lang'er.

........

Inner courtyard, main house.

Concubine Chen was leaning lazily on the collapse, two close-fitting court ladies waited on her, one rubbed her shoulders and the other pinched her legs.

There is no imperial concubine in the harem of Emperor Yuan Jing. Concubine Chen can be said to be under one person and above all concubines. Moreover, soon, her position in the harem will be truly invincible.

Holding a book in her hand, Chen Guifei smiled and said: "This "Spring Court Moon" is really well written. The more I look at it today, the more I like it.

Lang'er pursed his lips and chuckled: "Manny, this is in a good mood, and I feel good after reading the book."

Another court lady agreed with a smile: "Yes, although the prince hasn't come out of Dali Temple, it will be sooner or later. The lady has been washing her face with tears recently, and the servants are distressed to death."

Lang'er whispered: "I really didn't expect that the majestic queen would be so vicious, harming the concubine and framing the prince, but we thought she was really kind and kind."

Concubine Chen frowned and reprimanded: "The queen empress must not be beaked."

"Niangniang, you are too careful. After your majesty proposed abolishment at the court, after the grandfathers confirmed, she would no longer be a queen empress." Another court lady giggled.

"Maybe our mother will be the queen soon."

Concubine Chen frowned again and again, trying to reprimand the two unabashed court ladies, when she heard a light footstep.

"Mother, Lin'an is coming."

The light and shadow outside the door shook, Lin'an's shadow plunged into the room, and then, the flaming skirt was like a cluster of fireworks swaying in the wind.

The two grand palace ladies silently silenced and ended the conversation.

Chen Guifei showed a loving look, straightened up her slender waist, and waved: "Lin'an, haven't you just been here in the morning?"

"I miss my mother and concubine, I can't wait to stay in Jingxiu Palace and stay with my concubine every day."

Lin'an is a coquettish girl with a sweet mouth. Both Emperor Yuan Jing and Concubine Chen dotes on her.

"Then chat with your mother and concubine for a while, and when you feel bored, I will meet Shaoyinyuan again." Chen Guifei took her daughter by the hand and let her sit next to her.

"Good!"

After sitting down, Miao Miao said softly, "I miss my mother and concubine, and then do something by the way."

Chen Guifei smiled unchanged, and said softly: "What's the matter?"

Biaobi looked at Lang'er, and said, "Master Xu has something to ask you. He is waiting in the side hall of the outer courtyard. You should come over."

After finishing speaking, like Chen Guifei explained: "It's Xu Qi'an, the guardian I trained, and the mother concubine also has an impression of him. He is handling the case of the prince brother. It seems that there is something to ask Lang'er, but the gatekeeper 'S minion wouldn't let him in."

Chen Guifei pondered for a moment and waved her hand, "Lang'er, go and see him."

"Yes." Lang'er said, putting his hands flat on her lower abdomen, with lotus steps, crossing the threshold, leaving the yard, her figure drifting away.

Lin'an retracted his gaze and followed the topic, "Mother concubine, the prince brother can regain his innocence, so I have to rely on Xu Qi'an. You don't know the mother concubine, I trained him very hard.

"You always say that Huaiqing will cultivate talents and cultivate power, but Lin'an is not bad. When he first met him, he would be a small hunter in Changle County. It is not because of my hard work. , Trained him so well."

Chen Guifei said in surprise: "How did you meet a little catcher?"

"Oh, don't care about these details. Anyway, the talent I trained saved the prince brother, right."

"Yes, yes, yes, thanks to Lin'an, this time your prince brother would be in danger without the help of people trained in Lin'an." Chen Guifei pinched her daughter's voluptuous face.

........

In the side hall, Xu Qi'an was sitting in a chair, holding a tea cup in his hand, and taking a sip.

The tea in Jingxiu Palace, even if it is used to entertain guests, is far more mellow than the good tea treasured by my aunt.

"But compared to the tea I drank in Lin'an just now, it's still a lot worse. I asked Lin'an how many teas I wanted, so that my uncle and aunt would taste the tribute."

Xu Qi'an thought in his heart, took a sip, and immediately looked at the **** who was standing by, and smiled:

"Little father-in-law, you are sent by your majesty to supervise this official. In official terms, that is the minister of imperial commission. Sit down, don't stand up."

The little **** actually had a bit of knowledge, and said helplessly: "When you leave Beijing, that is the imperial envoy. The minion is not still in the palace, but it is still a minion, just like those governors who are majestic and majestic outside. In Beijing, isn’t it just a little censer."

These words made Xu Qi'an amused, "Three points into the wood, three points into the wood."

If Governor Zhang returns to Beijing, he will be a younger brother, but outside, he is awe-inspiring, even if he is a chief ambassador, a commander, and so on, he must be respectful and call himself an official.

"By the way, the little father-in-law is a servant in your majesty's palace, right." Xu Qi'an asked.

The little father-in-law nodded.

"Yesterday, after the report by the young man, your majesty went to the Queen’s Fengqi Palace?"

There is a question, Xu Qi'an has been hiding in his heart for a long time. Yesterday, the source of Huang Xiaorou's relationship with the queen was found in the crab pavilion. The clues began to point to the queen, but the income and expenditure records of the Royal Pharmacy were quietly torn up, so there is no conclusive evidence that the queen rescued Huang Xiaorou.

With the wisdom of Emperor Yuanjing and the city government, we should not rush to question the queen before the facts of the case are unclear.

If Emperor Yuan Jing is such an impulsive and brainless person, after the prince's case, he should directly abolish the prince.

"No..." The little **** shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and whispered:

"It was Concubine Chen who went to your majesty’s bedroom and cried and accused the queen of framing the prince. His majesty thought about his relationship with the concubine, and then went to Fengqi Palace to question the queen. The slave was also called for questioning by his majesty at that time. The minion didn’t take the initiative to report back then."

How did Chen Guifei know the progress of the case?

Needless to say, she must have been told by Biaozhu that the smelly girl had made a breakthrough when she saw the case and was further away from the prince, so she happily asked her mother to share her joy, which is inevitable.

While chatting, a woman in a lotus green palace dress crossed the threshold and entered the side hall.

She has beautiful features, fair skin, twenty-four-five years old, and her eyes are round apricot eyes, just like Chu Caiwei, but not as big as the latter.

Chu Caiwei's big eyes always remind Xu Qi'an of the wife of a paper man in the second element.

With the rounded oval face, sweet and lovely, the title of cute girl with big eyes is well deserved.

The lady of the court entered the side hall and gave a salute, saying: "I have seen Master Xu."

"Sister Lang'er." Xu Qi'an smiled in return.

Lang'er stood in the side hall and nodded slightly, "What does Master Xu want to ask? Niangniang is still waiting for the servants and maidservants."

Xu Qi'an immediately said: "I'm sorry, but the humble job is also on purpose."

After a pause, he stopped talking nonsense, and asked straightforwardly: "Sister Lang'er went to the Imperial Pharmacy a few days ago?"

Lang'er nodded.

"What are you going to do?"

"Since the prince's accident, the empress had washed her face with tears and was lethargic. She had a headache that day, and the servant girl went to the imperial pharmacy to get some refreshing medicine." Lang'er answered calmly.

"Did you tear up the income and expenditure account book of Imperial Pharmacy?" Xu Qi'an asked.

He was so swift and agile to the other court ladies and eunuchs on the list. There is hopeful Qi technique, which is equivalent to a Baixian Bailing polygraph, which is better than monitoring.

Although Wang Qi technique has many restrictions, it can be shielded by magical weapons, and it is not useful for warlocks, nor can it be used to accuse officials of Grade 4 or above.

However, for these **** ladies, the Qi-watching technique is not restricted, and Xu Qi'an is only used for assistance.

I will make sure you are a werewolf first, and then I will investigate you. This is much simpler and more convenient than looking for clues.

Lang'er was stunned. She didn't seem to expect how simple and rude Xu Qi'an was. She shook her head: "No."

Huh, it's the truth... Xu Qi'an, who applied the vision technique, sighed in disappointment.

It seems that his judgment was wrong. The person who tore up the account book did not enter the Royal Pharmacy within five days, but earlier. As for sneaking into the Royal Pharmacy, this is unlikely.

Because Yuanjing Emperor’s imperial pharmacy stored precious panacea, the dog emperor’s small vault was used for alchemy, and the imperial pharmacy was not too much to describe as a treasure house.

Since it is a treasure house, it is naturally guarded outside, not just sneaking in.

"Two possibilities. The person who tore up the account book entered the Imperial Pharmacy within five days. Or, there was a traitor in the Imperial Pharmacy. Later, I will ask the maids and eunuchs in the Imperial Pharmacy... ...."

Thinking of this, Xu Qi'an got up and said, "I'm done asking, but the case is not over yet, and I may visit in the future."

He was given a vaccination first, and saved the money.

After hearing this, Lang'er's eyes showed obvious impatience.

Xu Qi'an hurriedly said: "Look back and send some small gifts to Sister Lang'er. The mung bean cake at Guiyuelou in Beijing is a signature dessert."

He knows that Lang'er likes to eat mung bean cake, Lin'an told him on the way to Jingxiu Palace.

"No need," Lang'er shook his head, with alienation and a little resistance, and said lightly: "Slaves don't like mung bean cake."

Have you hated it... Oh, this woman seems to be as old as a wolf, and she has such a bad attitude towards a rare beautiful man like me.

Is the effect of Borrowing Pills not good enough~IndoMTL.com~ Or is it because Huajing has never been a guest, so I don’t know men?

"In this case, the officer will not bother..."

Xu Qi'an suddenly froze.

In the vision provided by Wang Qi technique, Lang'er's mood is very stable, and she doesn't lie.

Not lying? !

PS: Thanks to the leader "Hahaha_123" for the reward, and thank the leader of the "tail of the mountainside" for the reward. Thank you two bosses.

PS: I wish the college entrance examination smoothly, as the old saying goes, it's not a good time to grind the gun. Another thing is to have a stable mentality. When I took the college entrance examination, my mentality was as stable as an old dog. At that time, I was not so sensible, I just wanted to finish the exam quickly and spend the summer happily.

Think about it now, if I had just started to grind my gun, I might have entered Tsinghua University and Peking University. Hahahahaha...
