Chapter 36: The Emperor Reveals New Secrets
36
After Xue Yinong took care of the imperial doctor, the matter had no choice but to give up. What is the purpose of Xue Qingqiu's stay, time will explain.
A few days later, Xu Fu β‘β‘ an iron arrow, the strength was very large, and the arrow was not a few inches deep. Regret heard the sound come out, and the hidden guards also appeared to protect them, and there was no one around.
Xu Shutong asked in the house, "Who?" β
Cun Xi glanced at the arrow, and pulled it out vigorously and handed it to Xu Shutong, Xu Shutong raised his eyes and looked at it, "Is it him?" He took the iron arrow, twisted the arrow, poured out a small bamboo tube, twisted the lid of the small tube, and there was a note inside.
See you tonight.
didn't say anything, Xu Shutong and Cun Xi already understood. The two waited until the evening and had dinner before going out for a walk. The secret guard was sent by Xue Yinong, and it was unlikely that they would not follow, so they had to give up, thinking that this matter might be known to Xue Yinong, Xu Shutong sighed there.
It's not a day or two to have a bad reputation, but I care about this thing at this time.
The coachman took them to Qingjun Pavilion, where there were really a lot of warblers and swallows, and many of them had already stood in the fence and shouted. Although the capital is large, but Qingjun Pavilion has unique characteristics, there are men and women here, and the guests here are also men and women, but the men go to the front door, and the women go to the back door.
Taking care of a woman's face is thin, and it is not very elegant to go to the green building. But there are also those ladies whose lives are not satisfactory, and they want to come here to find a little warmth.
And Xu Shutong walked through the front door, and she asked herself with a clear conscience. It's just that she got off the carriage and earned the attention of many male customers, where did this woman come from, isn't it the new top brand here? Seeing that the clothes are clearly dressed and not like them, there are many male guests who want to come over, but they are all blocked by Cunxi.
"What are you doing, don't you flash to the side, delay my wife's business, be careful of your dog's life."
If you dare to say such a thing, I'm afraid it will have a lot of origin. Many have shunned it. At this moment, a few black-clothed guards came out and protected Xu Shutong in the center.
One of them said, "Madam, the master has arrived." β
"Got it, lead me."
When he arrived at a private room, one of the guards knocked on the door, the door opened, he went in and said, when he came out, let Xu Shutong and Cun Xi enter, the door closed again, and the guards stood at the door to prevent outsiders from coming in and causing trouble.
As soon as Xu Shutong entered the door, he smelled a fragrance. Xue Qingqiu sat upright in front of a small table, smelling a cup of tea in his hand, and asked, "You are here, sit!" He glanced at the seat across from him.
Xu Shutong walked over, lifted his skirt and sat down. Xue Qingqiu asked her, "Do you drink tea?" β
"Don't drink it."
"Do you know what this king is asking you for?"
"I don't know."
Xue Qingqiu raised the cup and drank it all, smacking the taste in his mouth, and shouted: "Good tea, good water, good people, there are good things today, so please come over and listen to it together." It's been a long time since we've sat and talked so quietly, and every time we come and go, as if something is going to separate us. β
Xu Shutong slightly agreed, "The prince is a noble person. β
"It's not that this king is troublesome, it's that things always find people's reads sometimes;. Maybe this king is born with a lot of things that can't go well, things are always * folds, but there is a saying, after wind and rain to see the rainbow, God finally opened his eyes this time, let this king find such a person, God help me. β
Xue Qingqiu's words somewhat aroused Xu Shutong's curiosity. "Then congratulations to the prince."
"No, no, it's early! It's up to you to get it done. β
"It's weird, what does it have to do with me."
Xue Qingqiu almost sang a minor key and said slowly, but he shouldn't stay here for too long, "This king has mastered the emperor's secret." β
"Oh?"
"This king was thinking at the beginning, with your appearance, there is definitely no place that can't be fascinated by Xue Yinong, but now I think about it, this is the reason, Xue Yinong is actually not good at that."
Xue Qingqiu's words made Xu Shutong very curious, but when he said it to the end, she almost squirted out the tea in her mouth.
Especially Xue Qingqiu's words were conclusive, and she seemed to be very sure, which made her almost laugh. But on such an occasion and in such an atmosphere, she had to hold back the smile in her heart, and when the tea rolled into her throat, she held her breath, and coughed a few times before she gave up.
She smiled: "The prince is very sure, it seems that there must be some way out." β
"Not bad." Speaking of this, Xue Qingqiu was also proud, and when he found out Yu Changqing's situation, he had already made up his mind.
A few days ago, I came to the gambling house where Yu Changqing often gambled, and after a few turns in it, I 'bumped' into Yu Changqing, who lost his red eye.
"Let's go, pay back the previous silver first, otherwise, I will have to find the Prime Minister's Mansion, I think the Prime Minister is not an unreasonable person."
Yu Changqing said: "Don't, uncle, grandfather, I beg you, raise your noble hand, I don't have it in my hand today, but it doesn't mean that I won't have it in the future, stay a line, and meet in the future." β
"Don't talk nonsense, get out, if you don't get out, I'm going to beat people, don't bring the silver within three days, unload one of your arms, and then one day later, I'll take off your other arm, see if the prime minister is reluctant."
Yu Changqing said in his heart: "Mom, black-hearted dogs, dogs look down on people, and when one day I am developed, I will feed you to the dogs." As he was walking, his head was not back, and he nodded his head and bumped into Xue Qingqiu.
Yu Changqing was thinking about who didn't have fucking long eyes, and robbed him of his way, and looked, damn! This real grandfather is here! He arched his hand and said, "It turned out to be the prince, it's a coincidence." β
Xue Qingqiu smiled: "It's a coincidence. I don't want to see you here again, is this in trouble? β
Yu Changqing still wanted to say a few words about slapping his swollen face and becoming fat, but the owner of the gambling house said, "No, he owes money and doesn't pay it back, and he is rushing back to get the money!" β
"How much?"
Hearing someone speak, the owner of the gambling house touched some meanings, and looked at this person's brocade clothes, which was not small, and he knew it in his heart, and saw that Yu Changqing called him 'Wang Ye' just now, it seemed that he was rich, and he said in a bad way, "It's not much, it's just tens of thousands of taels of silver." β
As soon as he said this, Yu Changqing couldn't wait to cut him out with his eyes, men have a good face, especially people who are more powerful than themselves, they are most afraid of losing face.
"Oh, that's not a big number, okay, count the reads on my account;." Xue Qingqiu let go of the words here, and the little guy who followed behind him immediately took out a stack of silver tickets, counted 1510, took Yu Changqing's deed of arrears and handed it to Xue Qingqiu, and Xue Qingqiu asked Yu Changqing to take it away.
"Lord Wang, this ......"
"My brother is in trouble, I can't see death without help."
Yu Changqing was moved to tears, and he was going to take him to the restaurant to thank him immediately, but Xue Qingqiu did not refuse. As the saying goes, three glasses of wine will be long. Yu Changqing didn't hide his words in front of his 'confidant' and 'benefactor', so he said how he heard Mama Mei talk to his old man that day, and he was very sure: "My eldest niece doesn't look bad, I didn't expect the emperor to be impressed, I dare to say that except for that aspect, who would be indifferent." β
Xue Qingqiu naturally had to vaguely deny a few words, in fact, his heart had already blossomed, Xue Qingyi had no queen, the Queen Mother spoke to Xue Dingshan, Xue Dingshan was old, and passed the position to his son, who knew that this only son was not good.
This shows that there is an arrangement in the dark. After a circle, the world is still his. How unhappy Xue Qingqiu was, but the happiness was in his heart, he refused to admit it on his face, and even warned Yu Changqing with a fake and serious Yan sΓΉ, "Brother, this king reads that you are speaking from the bottom of his heart, and I don't blame you, but don't say this to anyone again, otherwise you will lose your head." β
Yu Changqing was also frightened, and said: "Yes, yes, thank you for reminding the prince, if it is not the prince, I don't dare to say this." β
The two of them were full of food and drink, and they each returned to their homes. After Xue Qingqiu promised to go along, he returned to the post station and discussed the matter with Xu's staff, so he asked Xu Shutong to come.
Regarding the section on knowing Yu Changqing, Xue Yinong didn't say anything specific, just said that one person provided the news. Xu Shutong knew that he would not say, and of course he would not ask in detail.
"The prince came to me, what do you want me to do?"
"This king wants you to enter the palace."
"For what reason, since the emperor can't, why do you have to ......?"
Xue Qingqiu smiled and said: "Shutong, you seem to have forgotten that you will not only do this, Xue Yinong has such a hidden disease, he must not be willing to meet the imperial doctor, so if it spreads out, he will be embarrassed, why don't you use this as an excuse to treat him, maybe it will be cured, Longxin Dayue, how can he not spoil you." β
"But I'm not a doctor."
Xue Qingqiu said: "This king believes in your cleverness. β
"Yes, since the prince has thought about it, then so be it!" Just thinking of the real reason, Xu Shutong was afraid that he would not be able to cure Xue Yinong in his life, because the emperor was a woman. At the moment, she had no other choice, so she had to promise Xue Qingqiu first, "This matter should not be too abrupt, and suddenly ask for treatment for the emperor, I am afraid that she will doubt me, so I should wait for a suitable opportunity." β
"Okay."
The two drank tea and went out one after another, separating from the front and back doors. When I saw her come out, I hurriedly wrapped her in a cloak, and the two did not speak until they got into the carriage and returned to the house.
"The prince wants you to enter the palace?"
"Not bad."
"Then have you thought of a way to enter the palace?"
Xu Shutong smiled: "Even you have forgotten jì, the emperor promised me to enter the palace if I wanted to enter the palace.
