In the prison of Tingwei Mansion, Qin Zhi looked at the expressionless He and laughed: "Aunt He, you are really here, of course the villain means that he is going to be released from prison, no matter whether Qin Da Niu is caught in the end or not, the villain will not escape the fate of being implicated by him after all." And the queen hates villains to the core, and this palace villain will never dare to go back, and she has to have Aunt Lao to help find a place to live. ”

He Gu: "Then I also want to know why I want to help you!" ”

Qin Zhi picked up the piece of cloth and pointed to the pattern on it: "The Night Wolf Alliance, which was exterminated by the imperial court twenty years ago, has tattoos on its backs with these three-eye patterns, and this kind of thing is only known to elderly people like you and me. Aunt He, you have served the Queen Mother for many years, I wonder if the Queen Mother has seen your back? ”

He Gu gritted her teeth and said, "How do you know?" ”

Qin Zhi laughed again: "It seems that it will not work if you don't make it clear today." Okay, Aunt He, you can patiently listen to my story. The villain was born in a remote mountain, and there is no official for more than ten generations. A person from a background like a villain was destined to only deal with the scorching sun and loess for the rest of his life, but God treats the villain well, and the villain's uncle was in Luoyang as a guard for a brothel at that time, so he brought the villain who was not yet ignorant to Luoyang. ”

He Gu: "What do you do so much, pick and choose the key points!" ”

Qin Zhi still followed his own rhythm: "That kind of place doesn't talk about loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness, but only indulgence, hypocrisy, and incorruptibility." A child who grows up in that environment will naturally not be a decent gentleman. Later, the villain was sentenced to palace punishment for raping a woman and entered the palace as a eunuch. ”

He Gu smiled mockingly: "This punishment is a good way. ”

The corners of Qin Zhi's mouth rose slightly: "But it's really amazing to get used to this kind of thing, in the past, when the villain was outside the palace, he was merry and had no money, and slowly developed the habit of peeping at women bathing." Later, although he became a eunuch, this habit was retained like eating and sleeping. ”

Aunt He: "You...... Could it be that you ......? ”

Qin Zhi: "Aunt He, you may think that the harem is full of eunuchs and palace maids, and your honor has been ruined, so you neglect to take precautions." But the villain's habit is like animal instinct, and he doesn't care so much. Besides, villains can be regarded as countless women, in fact, except for Aunt He's face, you are also a top grade. ”

He Gu was annoyed and angry: "Shut up!" You shameless! ”

Qin Zhi: "Everyone is each other, Aunt He, you have been in the palace for decades as a Night Wolf Alliance killer, you don't just want to experience palace life, right?" Whether you are to avenge the court's extermination of your Night Wolf Alliance twenty years ago, or to avoid the pursuit of the enemy, it has nothing to do with the villain, as long as the villain can live the rest of his life in peace, he will be content, and your secret villain will always be taken to the coffin. With the Queen Mother's trust in you, it should be easy to do this little thing! ”

Hearing this, He Gu had found the answer to the question in her heart, and she didn't want to look at Qin Zhi anymore, so she dropped a sentence: "Wait for my news!" "Turn and leave.

After He Gu left, Yuan Rui also returned to Changle Wangfu early. Sun Qian was a little surprised to see him come back: "Brother Rui came back so early today!" ”

Yuan Rui: "I can't catch anyone, and I have nothing to do if I stay in the Tingwei Mansion, so it's better to come back and accompany you earlier." ”

Sun Qian: "My mouth is so sweet!" But today is really a good thing, not only Brother Rui, you came back early, but you also received a letter from Sister Yang just now. ”

Yuan Rui: "Oh? What did the letter say? ”

Sun Qian: "It's all trivial matters of my daughter's family, but the letter mentions that after the second brother received the appointment from the imperial court, he incorporated all kinds of forces in the rivers and lakes, and quickly gathered tens of thousands of troops, not only repelling the invading rebels, but also capturing a county occupied by the rebels as a stronghold." ”

Yuan Rui: "Your second brother is indeed talented in warfare, and the court is right to use him to quell the rebellion." ”

Just as Yuan Rui and the others were gossiping, Aunt He came to Danyang Palace with a heavy heart.

The Queen Mother retreated and asked anxiously, "How is it?" What does the minion know? ”

He Gu: "It's not good, he has seen the back tattoo of the slave maid, and knows that the slave maid was a member of the Night Wolf Alliance." ”

The Queen Mother gritted her teeth: "Then this person must not stay!" ”

He Gu: "The Queen Mother can rest assured, the slave has sprinkled soul incense in his cell, this incense is colorless and tasteless, and there are no symptoms of poisoning after death, the only drawback is that the effect is slow, and it will be fatal if you smoke it for two to three days in a row, but it is best to deal with people like him who are in prison." ”

The Queen Mother said worriedly: "Will it affect other criminals, too many people are easy to arouse suspicion." ”

He Gu: "Fortunately, there are no prisoners in the cages around Qin Zhi, and the soul incense sprinkled by the slaves and maids is only enough to release for two or three days, as long as the nearby cages continue to be empty for two or three days, there will be no problem." As for the incoming and outgoing jailers, taking a puff or two once in a while will not have any effect on the body. ”

The Queen Mother nodded approvingly, thought about it and said: "Mao Qingyu and other people who are close to him can't stay, find an opportunity to kill them all!" ”

He Gu took the order and came out.

In the Changle Palace, a person dressed in fancy clothes walked directly through the door without waiting for a notification, and the guards did not dare to stop him, because they recognized this person as the Great Wei Emperor Yuan Yao.

Yuan Yao shouted as he walked: "Yuan Rui! Yuan Rui! ”

Yuan Rui hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "How dare you bother the imperial brother to come to find the courtier brother in person, if there is anything, you can pass the courtier's brother into the palace to meet him." ”

Yuan Yao shook his head and said: "I sneaked out, and the Queen Mother wants to match me with that crazy woman, I am really annoyed, you also saw that crazy woman cut off people's fingers that day, if I don't stay away from her, maybe one day she will also cut off her fingers." ”

Thinking of the events of that night, Yuan Rui still had palpitations, but he said: "Maybe the queen has been ostracized since she was a child, so she occasionally behaves abnormally." ”

Yuan Yao didn't want to discuss Hu Bizhu with him anymore: "Don't talk about her, you are lazy today, I went to the Tingwei Mansion only to find that you had returned to the mansion, so I ran away in vain." I'll punish you for walking around with me! ”

Yuan Rui thought for a while: "I heard that there are a lot of Hu merchants in Sitong City recently, bringing many novelty objects, why don't we go and see it?" Yuan Yao was immediately aroused, and pulled Yuan Rui to lead the horse.

In the Sitong City in the south of Luoyang City, there is a Siyi Pavilion that is specially designed for the people who belong to the countries to live, and the Hu people of the Western Regions who are merchants live here, so among the three major cities of Luoyang, there are the most Hu people and Hu merchants in Sitong City, and it is also the most lively one. The two of them walked aimlessly in the noisy Sitong City, and suddenly Yuan Yao stopped moving, and his eyes were locked on a girl in front of him. The girl was impeccable in both appearance and figure, and the pear vortex smiled gracefully. Yuan Yao's mind suddenly went blank, and he only wanted to get four words-amazing! In a trance, I saw that the girl was walking towards her, it couldn't be so coincidental, she was also attracted to me? Yuan Yao couldn't help but think about it.

The girl came to the two of them, but said to Yuan Rui: "Does His Royal Highness King Changle also visit the market?" The voice was soft, and it sounded like heaven in Yuan Yao's ears.

It turned out to be an acquaintance of Yuan Rui, and Yuan Yao couldn't help but have red ears when he thought about it just now. Only then did Yuan Rui notice the girl, who turned out to be Cui Mingyou's sister Cui Jiaren: "Beauty! Such a coincidence. I'm accompanying ......" I didn't know how to introduce Yuan Yao for a while.

Yuan Yao came back to his senses and took the initiative to introduce himself: "I am Yuan Yao. The girl was shocked and wanted to salute, but Yuan Yao hurriedly put his finger to her lips and signaled her to keep quiet.

After some greetings, Cui Jiaren said goodbye to the two and went back to Cui's house. Yuan Yao looked at her back for a while, and muttered, "There is such a fresh and refined woman in the world. ”

Yuan Rui approached Yuan Yao: "The imperial brother knows that this woman has had the opportunity to become the queen of the imperial brother." ”

Yuan Yao was puzzled: "How do you say this?" ”

Yuan Rui: "Her name is Cui Jiaren, she is the daughter of Taichang Cui Xuan, after the imperial brother was elected in a big way, Cui Taichang also sent her to be elected, but unfortunately, the imperial brother thought he was not good looking, and he was defeated!" ”

Yuan Yao's mouth was so shocked that he couldn't close it for a long time: "How can this be true!" Could it be that all these reasons for defeat were published in my name? ”

Yuan Rui: "Although everyone knows what the truth is, after all, this queen is the queen of the imperial brother, is it not in the name of the imperial brother, is it in the name of Gonggong Zhang and Gonggong Li?" ”

Yuan Yao was a little flustered when he heard this: "Then will Miss Cui misunderstand?" She doesn't think I dislike her, does she? ”

Looking at Yuan Yao's appearance of gains and losses, Yuan Rui couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, Brother Huang, another day, Brother Chen will find an opportunity to ask Miss Cui out, and Brother Huang will explain it to her in person, okay?" ”

Yuan Yao: "Then please." ”

For most of the next time, Yuan Yao was in a fugue state, occasionally saying to himself: "Beautiful and beautiful, the name is like it." It wasn't until the two of them left the market that Yuan Yao woke up like a dream: "Traveled all over Sitong City so quickly?" ”

The next day, in the prison of Tingwei's Mansion, a jailer was taking turns to deliver food to the prisoners. When it was Qin Daniu's parents' turn, another jailer's urging voice came from afar: "Lao Zhang, are you okay?" Lord Zhou has instructed that the portrait of Qin Daniu should be pasted all over the major markets and entrances and exits of Luoyang City today, and it will be too late if you don't hurry up. ”

Lao Zhang responded impatiently: "I know, Lao Huang, don't rush, the more you urge me, the slower I get!" That being said, Lao Zhang still sped up his movements. I didn't expect this old Zhang to be really self-aware, as soon as people urged him, he was messed up, and one accidentally spilled food on the ground. Seeing this, Lao Huang hurriedly came over to help clean up, put a bunch of portraits in his hand on the ground next to him, and kept complaining: "I can't do a little thing, and now it's a waste of time." ”

Qin's father and mother in the cage looked helplessly at the food all over the ground, worried that the two prison guards would directly pick up the food that fell on the ground and give it to them in a hurry. Slowly, Father Qin's gaze shifted from the meal to the portrait on the ground, and he squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time: "Didn't the two adults just say that what they wanted to paste was the portrait of my son Qin Daniu?" And who is on this painting? ”
