Chapter Ninety-Nine: Fireworks in the Night
When it comes to fireworks in the prosperous era, everyone thinks that the best fireworks are in the palace, but no one knows how strong the connections of Kuchen, the master of the Bitter Sword Gate, are, if he says that this year's fireworks will not be sent to the palace, then the palace must have no fireworks to see, and as the only disciple of Li Changfu, and the fifth hero of the Bitter Sword Sect, the fireworks sent by Ye Qiuke, the prime minister of the southern country and the envoy of the envoy who everyone in the Chu country is feared, will naturally not be worse than those in the palace, it can be said that when this fireworks bloom in the night sky, many people have been awakened from their sleep.
I'm afraid that this palace is going to make a mess, and the people in the palace only know that Gongsun Yuting is peaceful to Ouyang Yu on the surface, and secretly wary of her, how can he expect that tonight he will offer the best fireworks to welcome her back? All the concubines and beauties are hating their teeth in their bedrooms at the moment!
At this moment, Gongsun Yuting was sitting in Yuchu Palace and listened to the secret agent report, he turned the jade ring on his wrist, closed his eyes and recuperated, while listening, he nodded, and after the man finished speaking, he opened his eyes, someone smiled in his eyes, waved his hand to let people out, he sat at the desk and didn't know what he wrote, the rice paper that had not dried was folded by him, turned around and knocked on the bookshelf behind the desk, the bookshelf slowly opened to both sides, it turned out to be a secret door, only to see a middle-aged man coming out of it.
Gongsun Yuting: Hurry up, be sure to get things done before the year.
Gongsun Yuting was serious and indifferent, he didn't even look at the man, he just handed over the letter in his hand, and the man always bowed his head respectfully.
"Yes!" The man took the letter from Gongsun Yuting's hand and quickly returned to the secret door.
Gongsun Yuting did all this and left the study of Yuchu Palace, as soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw a fire in the direction of Shui Weixuan, which illuminated the fireworks for half of the day, Gongsun Yuting was a little interested in standing in the courtyard and watching, he didn't know how many women in the palace were jealous of Ouyang Yu now, and they all thought that he was celebrating her!
"It seems that the news is right, Ouyang Yu and Yu Xuanlang already know each other, no wonder Yu Xuanlang, a disciple of Li Changfu who has never liked to participate in politics, will enter the palace, it turns out that he is here to help her, hum...... But this king wants to see if you have three heads and six arms."
Gongsun Yuting condensed the internal force in his palm, and broke a tree in the courtyard with one palm, and the huge sound attracted a group of guards, and the guards who didn't know why looked at each other, and they didn't know what was going on, Gongsun Yuting glared at them angrily, and now he was in a very unhappy mood, and he was worried that no one was angry.
A group of guards in the Yuchu Palace were accompanying Sun Yuting, the prince of Chu, to learn martial arts in the middle of the night, and Shui Weixuan was full of laughter and laughter, Ouyang Yu also brought Yan Feng and Mu Changfeng to the roof, and a row of people sat on the roof to watch the fireworks, it seems that Ye Qiuke has been preparing for some time, each fireworks are unique, not only beautiful and beautiful, especially in the night sky, the time to bloom is relatively long, which makes Qianyu, who watched fireworks for the first time, happy.
"Eighty-one, eighty-two" The courtyard echoed their loud voices, several people sitting on the roof were counting the fireworks in the air, Ye Qiuke said, as long as the number of fireworks released tonight is right, they will give each of them a gift, as long as he can afford it, no matter what he wants, he will never say half a word.
So, the three little guys happily counted the fireworks, in fact, about this game, Ye Qiuke is selfish, he wants to take a quiet look at Ouyang Yu, because he hasn't seen her for many years, he doesn't just miss her a little, otherwise why would he care about her thousands of miles away? came thousands of miles to save her life.
This fireworks reminded Ye Qiuke of the years in the Bitter Sword Gate, carefree, young and frivolous years, ignorant of the world, at that time Ouyang Yu was the most sticky to herself, she was the youngest junior brother, and several other senior brothers also doted on him very much, now think about it, if the senior brothers knew that their junior brother was a daughter, I am afraid, it would be difficult for her to even step out of the door of the Bitter Sword Gate.
At the end of all the fireworks, Ye Qiuke was watching Ouyang Yu fall into a trance, several children called him several times but there was no response, Ouyang Yu was blushing by him, Ouyang Yu wanted to send a few children down, but Qianyu and Mu Changfeng did not follow, and the gifts they said had not yet been received! How could you let him go so easily!
"Uncle Ye, what's wrong with you?" Qianyu shook Ye Qiuke's arm, but he still didn't react, and Qianyu was a little angry.
"Uncle, someone is stealing medicine!" Mu Changfeng also walked over and made a gesture to Qianyu to speak individually, only to see him leaning into Ye Qiuke's ear and shouting loudly.
"Stealing medicine? Who stole my medicine? Ye Qiuke finally woke up from the loss of his soul, hurriedly looked left and right, and found that the few people in front of him all looked like they were going to eat themselves, he was busy apologizing with a smile, and realized that he was out of shape, and secretly looked at Ouyang Yu out of the corner of his eye, but saw her covering her mouth and snickering, and suddenly felt less embarrassed.
"How do you know this trick will work?" Qianyu asked Mu Changfeng quietly, thinking about Ye Qiuke's appearance just now, he still couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.
"Uncle likes to collect the world's strange medicines, whether it is poison or antidote, or other drugs, as long as he is interested, he will collect them in the pharmacy, the door of the pharmacy is layer after layer, and the lock is specially made by a locksmith, I heard the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion say that except for my uncle himself, I have never seen anyone enter the pharmacy, so I ......" Mu Changfeng was snickering like Qianyu, and did not give Ye Qiuke face at all.
"So this trick must work!" Qianyu quietly wrote these down in her heart, thinking about her plan to apprentice.
When the three children reached out to Ye Qiuke for gifts, Ye Qiuke was about to play a scoundrel, just now the three of them snickered at him, he remembered it! Originally, as long as you count the number of fireworks correctly, you will have a gift, but I didn't expect the answers of the three people to be the same, but now there is an additional condition, what a scoundrel!
Qianyu felt that Ye Qiuke was not just a scoundrel, his martial arts were still very high, and Ye Qiuke would not announce another condition until the next day, so everyone went to rest after late at night, and the three of them were reluctant to drag their feet back, and before leaving, they repeatedly told Ye Qiuke, for fear that he would wake up and forget.
The night of relaxation quietly passed, when the cold winter morning light shone on the entire palace, the group of the Criminal Law Department also went to Shui Weixuan, the palace ladies who got up early in the morning to clean the yard were frightened, why did their own mother just come back at night, what happened again? Ouyang Yu hadn't gotten up yet, since she entered the Pure Water Pavilion, Gongsun Yuting had abolished the palace rules of asking the queen for peace every day, and Ouyang Yu only learned from the palace ladies after she came back.
A few palace ladies in the courtyard looked at the people of the Criminal Law Department with big eyes and small eyes, I don't know whether to pass the word or not at the moment, the queen slept very late last night, and now I am afraid that this hour is a good dream, I can't disturb it, but I can't let the people of the Criminal Law Department wait!
"Don't worry, let's wait for the queen to wake up" The people from the Criminal Law Department saw that they were going to enter the house to spread the word, so they hurriedly stopped it, and the group stood in a row and stood directly outside the door of Shui Weixuan.
The first thing Ouyang Yu saw when she came out was to see two rows of people standing neatly on both sides of the Shui Weixuan Gate, all in the same official uniform, seeing this formation, she was stunned for a while, thinking to herself, could it be Gongsun Yuting who asked them to come? When did Shui Weixuan become so lively?
"I don't know what happened to the Criminal Law Department when he arrived at Shui Weixuan today?" Ouyang Yu didn't ask for warmth or beat around the bush, and asked straight to the point.
"Yesterday, two boxes of fireworks were lost in the palace treasury, Qi Zhongsi ordered us to investigate everywhere, and today I just found Shui Weixuan, so I forgive the former queen and mother" The leader of the Criminal Law Department returned respectfully, he kept saying that Qi Zhongsi, but he abandoned it, and did not take out Qi Yan's search warrant, Ouyang Yu couldn't help but be suspicious.
"Oh? Why didn't Qi Zhongsi come over in person? Ouyang Yu raised his eyes and swept the two rows of people outside the door, although they were from the Criminal Law Department, they were not Qi Yan's subordinates, and they didn't know who led the team.
"Qi Zhongsi can't pull away from something today, so he ordered me to wait, I'm offended" The man who looked like the leader beckoned, only to see a person come in behind him and hand over a search warrant.
Although this handwriting is familiar, it is not Qi Yan's handwriting, it is...... Gongsun Yuting? Ouyang Yu's sharp eyes swept to the words on the rice paper, she recognized Qi Yan's handwriting, and naturally recognized the authenticity, but she didn't expect it to be written by Gongsun Yuting himself.
Ouyang Yu had doubts in her heart, she wanted to ask for clarification, thinking that he might be setting some trap, so she had to give up, she couldn't obstruct the work of the people in the Criminal Law Department, it was just two boxes of fireworks, no matter how it didn't alarm the king! Is it just because last night Shui Weixuan had a big night fireworks?
Ouyang Yu: In this case, you don't have to beat around the bush, why did Shui Weixuan let off fireworks at night, but it wasn't the palace that the treasury lost didn't know, if you want to ask, the palace will accompany you on a trip.
"Under the Criminal Law Division, Zong Sheng wanted to ask Niangniang a few more words, but he didn't know ......" The person in the lead didn't stop when he heard Ouyang Yu say this, but wanted to ask something more.
Ouyang Yu: Just ask!
Ouyang Yu is a person who understands, and the person who knows the times is Junjie, she still recognizes this reason, and she has already prepared in her heart, she is trying to hear what Gongsun Yuting wants them to ask!
Zong Sheng: Was Niangniang present when Shui Weixuan set off fireworks last night?
Ouyang Yu: This palace is here!
Zong Sheng: Does the queen know how many boxes of fireworks have been placed?
Ouyang Yu: Too many, too many!
Zongsheng: What...... What the?
Zong Sheng looked at Ouyang Yu in surprise, I'm afraid, he didn't expect Ouyang Yu to answer like this, he secretly glanced at the search warrant in his hand, which was written in black and yellow on it, and there were two boxes clearly written.
Ouyang Yu: Shui Weixuan set off fireworks all night last night, I'm afraid it's not a secret, there is no need for this palace to hide it, so the Criminal Law Department can go and investigate.
