Chapter 68: Murder with a Knife
Yue Bufan, who had just come out of the prison, saw Xiao Shujun and immediately knelt down: "Thank you for the life-saving grace of His Royal Highness King Qin." Yue will never forget. ”
Seeing General Yue kneel, the rest of the Yue family knelt down one after another.
"His Royal Highness King Xie Qin." Yue Bufan's daughter Yue Feng Lanjiao cried drippingly, and did not forget to kneel down with General Yue to thank Xiao Shujun.
"Hurry up, if it weren't for us, General Yue wouldn't be implicated." Xiao Shujun was still extremely cruel in his heart, and he didn't find the real culprit of the assassination, so he let the emperor take advantage of it, and General Yue was the scapegoat.
"Although Yue can't return to Beijing, the soul of Yue's army is still there, as long as King Qin speaks, Yue will not give up." Before Yue Bufan's loyalty, he was a mediocre emperor who did not distinguish between right and wrong, and Yue Bufan was unwilling. Now it was King Qin who saved him, and he felt that King Qin was suitable to sit in that position.
Xiao Shujun naturally knew what Yue Bufan meant, and was willing to assist him to sit on the throne. But Xiao Shujun didn't have this mind.
"General Yue has a good life with his wife and children, so if you need anything, just ask." Xiao Shujun changed the subject.
"If His Royal Highness King Qin regrets it one day, he can find Yue at any time." Yue Bufan was still unwilling.
Xiao Shujun was silent. Yue Bufan had no choice but to go on the road first, after all, the coming day was long, and Yue Bufan dared to conclude that Xiao Shujun had a regret on that day.
Seeing General Yue leave, Xiao Shuwei said: "Actually, what General Yue said is not impossible. The emperor is indeed ......"
"Don't say anything more about this kind of rebellion." Xiao Shujun hurriedly interrupted.
Xiao Shuwei had no choice but to shut up, but he was more or less upset in his heart for beating his second brother. If it weren't for Xiao Shujun's young age, with his talents, he should have been made the prince.
As soon as General Yue leaves, the military power he held before will fall to Concubine Li's father, the general who protects the country. Xiao Shujun was still vaguely worried.
"Min'er, the soup ...... that Qin asked you to send that day"
Min'er, who was serving Xiao Shujun to drink tea, heard Xiao Shujun suddenly interrogate herself, and panicked so much that she couldn't hold the teacup steadily, and the teacup fell to the ground.
"Your Highness, forgive your sins, that day...... On the way back, I was carrying the soup and accidentally fell and knocked over the soup. Afraid that His Highness would blame, he didn't dare to tell His Highness. "Min'er knelt on the ground, looking like I was pitiful.
"You see when I blamed you for such a trivial matter, and you didn't mean to, get up." has been with him for more than ten years, he understands her conscientiousness, and of course he will not doubt her because of this little thing.
Seeing that Xiao Shujun didn't blame herself, Min'er was secretly happy in her heart, Qin Kexin was nothing more than this in His Highness's heart, His Highness still cared about himself.
Min'er hurriedly cleaned up the teacup that fell on the ground, thought for a moment and said, "If Your Highness wants to drink soup, Min'er will make it for Your Highness." ”
She didn't want Xiao Shujun to keep thinking about the soup that Qin Kexin hadn't delivered.
Xiao Shujun nodded slightly, and agreed. If he were someone else, Xiao Shujun was afraid that he would ignore it, but he was still more tolerant of Min'er.
Seeing this, Mi'er was overjoyed. rushed to the kitchen to make soup for Xiao Shujun.
"In charge, I heard an embroidery lady say that the soup you asked Min'er to send to His Royal Highness King Qin that day was poured out by her, and it happened to be seen by the embroidery girl." Luo Ying reported to Qin Kexin. She is now Qin Kexin's most trusted person in this clothing bureau.
So that's the case, Xiao Shujun said that he didn't drink the soup that day, Qin Kexin didn't know why, and now it seems that Min'er was jealous of herself, so she poured the soup away. The woman's intuition had already made Qin Kexin discover that Min'er actually cared about Xiao Shujun, but she didn't care too much, and now it seems that she can't ignore it.
"That mercy is obviously aimed at you, don't take it lightly." Sakura is on the side.
"I see, you go down first."
Although Qin Kexin likes and trusts Luo Ying, Luo Ying always gives Qin Kexin an uncomfortable feeling. made Qin Kexin reluctant to get closer to him.
……
"Second Miss of the Su family, don't come unharmed." Xiao Ruoxue, who came to the palace for the banquet, met Su Lianrong, who was also here for the banquet, and thought of the scene they saw together before, and felt evil.
Hearing Xiao Ruoxue's voice, Su Lianrong didn't want to pay attention to it, but walked straight forward. I didn't want to be pulled by Xiao Ruoxue.
"Let go." Su Lianrong didn't like Xiao Ruoxue in her heart.
"I heard that Qin Kexin and His Royal Highness King Ning have been very close recently, you really don't plan to take action and let them develop?" Xiao Ruoxue is purely groundless, but Su Lianrong has been blinded by love, and she has rarely seen Xiao Shuwei recently, so she counted all her grievances on Qin Kexin's head.
Seeing that Su Lianrong was a little shaken, Xiao Ruoxue hurriedly added fuel and vinegar and said: "If Qin Kexin stays in the palace for a day, King Ning will get along with her for one more day, you should know what to do in your heart." Then he turned and left.
It was good to borrow a knife to kill people, because he didn't want Qin Kexin to stay in the palace and drink Xiao Shujun's eyebrows, so he wanted to borrow Su Lianrong's hand to drive Qin Kexin out of the palace.
"Miss, what Lord Xiao said is right, since Qin Kexin doesn't think about sisterhood first, then you don't have to worry. Find a way to drive Qin Kexin out of the palace. Su Lianrong's personal maid said.
Su Lianrong still hesitated, after all, she was kind by nature, and she was best friends with Qin Kexin before.
But in the end, emotion prevailed over reason, and in order to get Xiao Shuwei, she could do whatever it takes.
"Dad, my daughter wants to ask the palace clothing bureau to make clothes for my daughter." Su Lianrong began to plot to drive Qin Kexin out of the palace.
"The Bureau? That's for the royal family, and we're afraid we'll not be blessed to enjoy it. Su Qifeng was puzzled, he was so dignified, his daughter never lacked silk and satin, why did he want to let the Clothing Bureau make clothes for herself.
"Dad, it is said that after the new head of the Clothing Bureau, the clothes made are thousands of times better than before, and my daughter has loved beauty since she was a child, and she really wants to get a piece of clothing bureau clothes. You are in a high position, and if you make a small request to the emperor, the emperor will definitely agree to you. It's not good. ”
"Okay, good daddy, try it." Su Qifeng favors his two daughters the most on weekdays, especially the youngest daughter. Naturally, I can't stand her being coquettish to herself.
"Great, thank you, Dad. It is said that the clothes made by Qin Zhangshi of the Clothing Bureau are a must, why don't you tell the emperor and ask her to make them herself? Also, there are so many rare opportunities, or use the high-quality fabrics from the Western Regions......" Su Lianrong pretended to be excited, making Su Qifeng really think that he just loved beauty.
Realizing that her request was a bit too much, Su Lianrong smiled embarrassedly.
"I really can't help you, so why don't you make one for your sister by the way?" Su Qifeng saw that his daughter was happy, so he didn't care about asking too much, but wanted to make him happier.
Seeing that the matter was halfway through, Su Lianrong's harmless little face leaked a hint of sinister pride.
……
"Steward Qin, this is the high-quality cloth and needlework sent by Prime Minister Zuo's Mansion, which is said to be worth a thousand gold. Prime Minister Zuo heard that you are a good handicraft, so he asked the emperor for instructions and asked you to make different clothes for the two daughters of the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”
Qin Kexin looked at the fabrics and needles in Luo Ying's hands, which were all high-quality fabrics that were rare in the palace. Prime Minister Zuo actually named himself to sew clothes, and his intuition told Qin Kexin that it was not easy at this time.
"Okay, put it here, tell Prime Minister Su, and after seven days, I will send the clothes to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Do what you have to do, and other things will come to block it, and the water will cover it. It is the way of doing things that Qin Kexin has always adhered to.
has nothing to do with anything else, just looking at such precious and rare fabrics and needlework, Qin Kexin's professionalism told him to complete these two clothes well.
Qin Kexin knew that Su Lianrong liked pink, so she used a lot of pink in the design of clothes.
"You're so meticulous, are these two clothes important?" Yu Chiyan appeared behind Qin Kexin out of nowhere. frightened Qin Kexin, who was concentrating.
"Working together in the Clothing Bureau, I hardly ever see you, what are you busy with all day?" Qin Kexin has always been very puzzled, although Xiao Shuwei is in the Siyi Bureau, he has never done an errand in the Siyi Bureau, but his tasks are often completed by someone to help him, although he is in charge. But it's hard to say anything.
"What, miss me?" Only Qin Kexin and Yu Chiyan were together. Yu Chiyan put away the amorous image of a woman, and listened to the voice without looking at her appearance, she was a provocative guy.
But seeing that Wei Chiyan, who said this, was still a woman's face, Qin Kexin felt awkward.
"This is a unique fabric in the Western Regions, whose clothes use this?" Seeing that Qin Kexin didn't answer his words, Wei Chiyan's eyes fell on the fabric in Qin Kexin's hand.
"Is this fabric rare?" Qin Kexin only knew that this fabric looked valuable, and he didn't know anything else.
"This is the silkworm fabric from the Western Regions, the silkworms in the Western Regions are very rare, and it will take twenty years to make this cloth in your hand." After all, Yu Chiyan has been operating Jinyufang for many years and is well-informed.
However, there are some subtle differences between this fabric and the silkworm fabric I was fortunate to see before. But Wei Chiyan didn't care at the time.
"It's such a rare fabric, just make good use of it." Qin Kexin said.
Yu Chiyan nodded in acquiescence, and didn't feel anything wrong.
"Lonely men and widows are in the same room, don't you avoid suspicion?" Xiao Shujun's voice suddenly appeared.
The two turned around, and Xiao Shujun, dressed in black, was already standing at the door.
"Lonely men and widows? You...... You actually know ......" Seeing that his secret was exposed, Wei Chiyan was a little panicked.
Qin Kexin had long known that Xiao Shujun found out that Xiao Shujun found out that Hongyan was a man, and it was not surprising.
"This king is not interested in whether you are a man or a woman, and what is the purpose of staying in the Siyi Bureau, but you had better stay away from Qin Kexin." Xiao Shujun is jealous.
Wei Chiyan was slightly relieved to notice that Xiao Shujun didn't have much malice towards whether he was a man or a woman, but he just didn't want his man's body to get close to Qin Kexin.
"His Royal Highness King Qin is very idle, and this small clothing bureau can let you come in person." Wei Chiyan didn't mention Qin Kexin at all. I felt that Xiao Shujun was inexplicably possessive of Qin Kexin.
