Chapter Eighty-Nine: Stepfather Shen Yanbo
After listening to Qiu Tang's words, Si Shaolang couldn't stop her, so he had to let her kneel.
"Shao Lang, I already know everything. You followed the carriage of the troupe to the Holy City, and you were also entrusted by Doctor Si, Doctor Si and your great kindness, I Qiu Tang will never forget it in my life, but you also know that I entered the Holy City, firstly, to save my life, and secondly, to find out that my father and the whole family were framed and destroyed, and to avenge my father, and now if I want to take revenge, I can only enter the palace, all the roots are in that palace, I have to do it. Although Qiu Tang's voice was calm, he could hear the determination of a battle against the water.
"Okay, in this case, I will also fulfill Master's last wish, and do my best to protect you." Si Shaolang helped Qiu Tang up, his eyes full of strength.
"No, no." Qiu Tang hurriedly interrupted Si Shaolang's words, "Doctor Si has taken his life for me, if I put you in again, I will ......"
"This is what my master ordered me to tell when I went out of the city, no matter what happens, I must protect you thoroughly, Miss Qiutang don't say it again. If you make up your mind to enter the palace, then I will definitely help you. Si Shaolang said, took out a small paper bag from the bottom of the medicine box, and handed it to Qiu Tang.
"What is this?" Qiu Tang took the paper bag with a puzzled expression.
"You just have to stay here, wait for the Holy Lord to take you into the palace, and then find an opportunity to sprinkle the medicinal powder on your clothes, anyone who has come into contact with the medicinal powder will have a rare red spot, and the high fever will not go away, and the palace doctor is helpless, the palace will post the imperial list to ask for medical advice among the people, and at that time, I can enter the palace smoothly."
"Okay, yes, but do you have to enter the palace and wade through this troubled water with me?" Qiu Tang is still a little unbearable.
"You are a weak woman, if you don't have the help of others in the palace, it is difficult for you to not be bullied for a long time by relying only on the grace of the saint, so as long as you make up your mind, then I will definitely be by your side." Shao Lang took out a small bottle from the depths of the medicine box, which contained an amber liquid, "This is the antidote, before you sprinkle the medicine powder on your clothes, you must take this potion to avoid being harmed yourself." ”
"Shaolang, thank you." Autumn begonias bowed.
"Has Xu Sanye rested?" In the evening, Lu Pengju came to the door of the house where Xu Hanyun lived and asked the family standing at the door.
"It's Lu Ye, right?" Xu Hanyun's voice came from inside the room, "Come in." ”
Lu Pengju stepped into the house and arched his hand: "Third Master Xu, I'm sorry to disturb you." ”
"Sit down, you're welcome, sit down and say something." Xu Hanyun put down the scroll in his hand, stood up and sat down at the tea table, and invited Lu Pengju to sit down.
"Third Master Xu, I have an apprentice who has always wanted to enter the palace to see the world and serve the king, I wonder if you can ask someone to introduce you?" Lu Pengju said the rhetoric that he had thought about and organized repeatedly.
"This ......" Xu Hanyun was silent, he never thought that Lu Pengju would find himself for this kind of thing, but after all, he still had to rely on Lu Pengju to take care of the family, so it was difficult to refute his face, "It's not impossible to do this." Xu Hanyun pondered the wording, "It's just that last time my old servant, the one you met, the one called Lu Sheng, he did say that if you need his help, you can just say that it may be okay to find him in this matter, but he didn't tell me where to find him when he left." So ......"
"......" Faced with Xu Hanyun's words, Lu Pengju didn't know how much was true or false, so he couldn't answer, so he had to look at Xu Hanyun embarrassedly.
"In this way, you wait for me for a few days, and I will send someone to the palace to inquire and see where I can find Lu Sheng, and then I will call you back."
"Then it's going to trouble Third Master Xu." Lu Pengju saw that Xu Han agreed, so he didn't stay long, and gave his leave.
"Madam, I heard that Mu Lingyi gathered a group of thugs in the palace, and he either fought with the thugs all day long, or soaked in Fengqi Pavilion day by day, and sometimes he didn't go to court for a few days, and even asked people to send the excerpts to Fengqi Pavilion." Ke Xia reported to Yue Shumei the news of the Holy City that he had gathered.
"Let him go, it's useless to ask him anyway, it doesn't make a difference if he is above the court, he was allowed to ascend the throne in order to avoid the court from going to war against the Qimu clan, and now the imperial power is in our hands, he can do whatever he wants." Now the main problem is that Mu Linghong. Yue Shumei's face was pale, her eyes were bloodshot, and she couldn't see that she hadn't rested well in the past few days, "I knew that this Mu Linghong was so difficult, I should have solved him in the Holy City in the first place!" ”
The army of the Qimu clan led by Yue Shumei camped at a position a hundred miles away from Jing'an City, this inconspicuous Jing'an City had been attacked for more than a month, but it was not captured, Yue Shumei couldn't help but be a little annoyed.
"Madame's anger." Ke Xia knew how tenacious the resistance organized by Mu Linghong in Jing'an City was, so apart from such meaningless comfort, Ke Xia didn't know what to say.
"Did you find it?" Mu Lingyi now stays in Fengqi Pavilion as long as it gets dark, and he doesn't go anywhere.
"Back to the saint, after the old ministers in the court heard about Qiu Tang's life experience, they were very reluct......ant" Li Xusong was ordered by Mu Lingyi to look for Qiu Tang's father-in-law all over the city, but he asked all the old ministers in the court, but no one was willing.
"Qiu Tang, don't worry, I'll personally go and find it for you!" Mu Lingyi turned his face to comfort Qiu Tang.
"Holy Lord, if it is a concubine who can learn from heaven and earth, why rush for a while." Qiu Tang's face was full of shyness, "If you really can't find it, Qiu Tang is willing to wait for the saint in this Fengqi Pavilion for the rest of his life." ”
The delicate voice and the flowing eyes of the autumn waves fascinated Mu Ling Yichun's heart: "Don't worry, I will definitely find it for you, and I really won't let you be wronged here." You can rest assured. Mu Lingyi hugged Qiu Tang into his arms and comforted softly, "Li Xusong, you go, go and invite my teacher Shen Yanbo." ”
Shen Yanbo is an old minister of the two dynasties, loyal to the Mu family, is the crown prince appointed by Mu Jianyu for Mu Lingyi, this person is loyal and honest, erudite, and has the mind to accommodate the sky and the sea. When Li Xusong came to invite him, he was reading under the candle, and Li Xusong entered the house and saluted: "Mrs. Shen, the saint invites you to go to Fengqi Pavilion to listen to the music." ”
Shen Yanbo knew that his apprentice Mu Lingyi who he taught himself was not a gentleman, let alone a naughty boy who was nostalgic for women, Mu Lingyi invited him to Fengqi Pavilion to listen to music, there must be something more important besides listening to music, so Shen Yanbo didn't say a word, got up and changed clothes, and told his wife to take care of the family, so he followed Li Xusong and hurried to Fengqi Pavilion.
"Teacher!" Seeing Shen Yanbo coming, Mu Lingyi hurriedly got up and performed the gift of master and apprentice.
"Holy!" Seeing this, Shen Yanbo hurriedly dodged sideways and returned the courtesy of a monarch and minister.
"Teacher, please be seated." Mu Lingyi handed over his eyes and ordered Xu Xu to go out, and closed the door, inviting Shen Yanbo to sit down on his left, "Teacher, the student invited the teacher here today to ask the teacher to fulfill one thing." ”
"There is something in the Holy Command." Shen Yanbo arched his hand.
"Before I ascended the throne, I inspected the city-state for my father, and met a stunning woman in the mausoleum, and the musician in the palace found a good pipa and gave it to her, and also gave her nine Qingluan Bu Shao, after returning to the palace, I never forgot this girl, I thought that fate was over, but I didn't want to reunite in Fengqi Pavilion." Mu Lingyi briefly said the previous incident, "I am fortunate to inherit my father's country, but I am depressed because of the old ministers in the court, but fortunately, with the guidance of this woman, I found the way forward......"
"The Holy One might as well have something to say." Seeing that Mu Lingyi was talking a lot about this, that and that, Shen Yanbo was a little confused.
"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point." Mu Lingyi took a deep breath and made up her mind, "I want to ask my teacher to be her stepfather, and after a year and a half, I can admit her to the harem." ”
"This ......," Shen Yanbo paused, "Since the Holy Admiral praised this woman like this, you might as well invite the old man to meet and make plans." ”
Seeing Shen Yanbo loosen his mouth, Mu Lingyi was overjoyed: "Qiu Tang, come out quickly, I've seen Lord Shen." ”
When Qiu Tang heard this, he turned out from behind the screen, floated over, and stopped in front of Shen Yanbo, and bowed: "The little girl has seen Lord Shen." ”
Shen Yanbo nodded slightly, he was very satisfied with Qiu Tang's etiquette, this woman was generous, not half the frivolity of a Qinglou woman, but a kind of dignified and beautiful official eunuch family. Shen Yanbo secretly pondered: "Get up." ”
"Thank you, Lord Shen." After Qiu Tang thanked him, he slowly got up and stood aside with his eyebrows lowered. She knew that whether she could enter the palace smoothly or not, Shen Yanbo was very crucial.
"How old is Miss Qiutang?"
"The little girl has wasted her time for fourteen years." Qiu Tang replied obediently.
"Have you ever studied?" Listening to Qiu Tang's words, Shen Yanbo sensitively realized that Qiu Tang should have studied seriously with his master.
"Blessed by God, I had the opportunity to study in private school with a gentleman for two years."
"Then why did you end up in this fireworks willow alley?" Qiu Tang, who is well-behaved and has read books, aroused Shen Yanbo's compassion.
"When I was young, my family was robbed, and my mother hid me in a rice jar to escape, and then I lived with my adoptive mother, who was not in good health, so I had to sing to make money to survive." Qiu Tang said, with red eyes, "Later, my hometown suffered a natural disaster, I fled to the holy city with my adoptive mother, and then my adoptive mother was not in good health, so I had to beg my dream mother to take me in, sing music to make some money, a while ago, my adoptive mother also died of illness......"
"Poor child......" Shen Yanbo couldn't help but shed tears.
"Teacher...... Look at ......" Qiu Tang's words made Mu Lingyi's eyes red, he never thought that Qiu Tang would have such a miserable life experience.
"Child," Shen Yanbo wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and pulled Qiu Tang's delicate little hand, "Come home with me." From now on, you will be my Shen Yanbo's righteous daughter. If you have any difficulties in the future, tell me. ”
"Thank you, Lord Shen!" Qiu Tang's hanging heart finally let go.
"It's still called Lord Shen?" Mu Lingyi saw that it was done, and couldn't help but joke on the side.
"The father-in-law is above, please be worshiped by the little girl!" Qiu Tang suddenly understood, knelt on his knees, and kowtowed three times.
