Chapter 9: The Scholar Counterattacks as Emperor (9)
After Qin Gong returned to the room, he put the qin on the table and sat motionless staring at the qin.
A few hours later.
Little 8 cautiously spoke: "Are you hungry?" ”
She didn't answer.
It felt that the host was not quite right, it stands to reason that its host was born to be cultivated as a killer, and now that she is just a dead person, she should not have negative emotions, but it thinks she is sad now.
It began to get frustrated, and went to the other systems to ask how to comfort its host.
Night falls.
Qin Zhi, who had been sitting at the table, stood up, took the piano on his back and left the room.
While waiting for the other systems to reply, Xiao 8, who was paying attention to her, immediately came to his senses: "I haven't eaten for a day, you can go to eat as much as you want, I'll change it for you if the money is not enough." ”
Qin Gong: "Give me the position of Concubine Shu." ”
Little 8: "...... Good. ”
Palace. Zhaoyun Palace.
Qi Wei's death hit Concubine Shu hard. She is vicious and a smart woman at the same time, so she was able to escape after murdering many concubines and princesses, and she still sat firmly on the throne of the concubine.
is a dignified prince, but he can't find his body, so he can only set up a well-dressed mound, which is simply digging out her heart!
During this time, she has been peeling back the cocoon to pursue the truth, and the murderer is the so-called "Qin Woman" She believes, but if her purpose is to do the right thing for heaven, she doesn't believe anything.
There must be someone behind her.
Concubine Shu waved away the palace people, sat in front of the dresser and looked at herself in the mirror with a haggard face, her bloodshot eyes flashed.
"I see."
The first Luo imperial merchant to die was snatched from the hands of Concubine Xi's cousin, and he has never dealt with it.
The second dead Hubu Shangshu Huang Wei and the third dead Wei Yuanchang were both the queen's people on the surface, but in fact Wei Yuanchang was the stake she placed under the queen's hands.
Before Wei Yuanchang died, he secretly hinted that there was important news to tell her, and she had been looking for an opportunity to contact her that would not be discovered by the queen's people, and before she could wait for that opportunity, he died.
"And then, it's my son."
Concubine Shu smiled maniacally.
The queen is not, she doesn't know Wei Yuanchang's identity, and it is impossible to cut off her two connections at once. Concubine An is not, her family is withered, and there is only a princess who has been married. And none of those in the lower positions can resort to such means.
The rest of the concubines are above the throne, only she and Concubine Xi.
The reason why she didn't lock up Concubine Xi immediately was because even though she was once prosperous and intelligent, her parents were dead, she had no brothers and sisters, and her only son had long since disappeared, and nine times out of ten she had died.
Concubine Xi seems to be at peace these years, and she can only rely on the sorrow of losing her son to obtain the mercy of the saints...... But what if she finds the missing child?
Smiling and smiling, tears overflowed from the corners of Concubine Shu's eyes.
Concubine Xi has not fallen out of favor over the years, but she has never had another child, Wei Yuanchang took the initiative to contact her regardless of the risk of exposure, and Yan Ming had something important to report......
"Seventh prince, Concubine Xi, good, very good!" She wiped the corners of her eyes, "Wei'er, don't be afraid, my mother will soon send the culprit down to accompany you!" ”
There was another figure in the mirror.
Concubine Shu turned her head suddenly, looked at the woman standing in front of her with the piano on her back, and sneered: "You came to kill me? ”
Qin Zhi picked up the piano expressionlessly.
"Did the Seventh Prince send you? Or Xi Guifei? ”
"......" Qin Gong didn't intend to answer, and put his fingertips on the strings.
How could Concubine Shu be willing to die like this, grabbed the jewelry box on the dresser and threw it at her, shouting frantically: "Someone-"
The palace people didn't come as fast as the sound of the piano.
When the palace people who were waved away arrived, there was the dead body of Concubine Shu lying on the ground, and they remembered the sound of the piano they heard before rushing over, and their legs weakened and they knelt on the ground.
……
Lights were lit up in all the palaces, and the Praetorian Guards and guards were on guard to prevent anyone from leaving the palace.
Xining Palace.
Concubine Xi looked at the figure that suddenly appeared in the room, and did not have the slightest fear, but laughed: "Don't be afraid, give me your piano, and I will help you hide it." ”
Qin Gong shook his head slightly.
Thinking that she didn't like others to touch her weapons or that she didn't trust her, Concubine Xi didn't think much about it, listened to the noisy voices outside, and said softly: "Follow me." ”
No one knew that Xining Palace actually had a secret passage leading to the outside of the palace. It was after Concubine Xi lost her son and found it, and after her father arranged for her to enter the palace, a person who seemed to be a palace maid but actually had many skills, and it took six years to get through little by little.
Qin Gong listened to Xiao 8's instructions to find Concubine Xi, and originally had the intention of asking her to help, so naturally he did not refuse, and followed her into the secret room.
"Is Yu'er okay?"
Concubine Xi's dignified voice was full of kindness, and Qin Shi was silent for a while before replying, "Very good." ”
How could it be bad.
Her eyes darkened, as the protagonist's luck deepened, and the loss would only be his pawns, where could he be bad?
Concubine Xi smiled for a moment, and then said softly: "It's just that I'm bitter for you." ”
Qin Gong did not reply again.
Concubine Xi didn't mind, just told her about herself in a slow voice. The collapse after losing Qi Yu, the comfort of his family, and later the death of his parents, he could only rely on the emperor's mercy in the palace alone.
He also said that the joy of recovering Qi Yu was his plan.
Qin Gong seems to have never heard of it, the secret passage is very long, but there will be an end in the end.
After she left, Concubine Xi hurriedly returned to the palace, Concubine Shu's death must have made the emperor angry, and he checked the palace, and he didn't know if he had found her palace, and whether the stand-in could cope with it perfectly.
The Imperial City was quiet in the middle of the night, and no one noticed a woman walking down the road with a piano on her back.
Back in the courtyard, Qin Gong went into the kitchen and gave himself a following.
Xiao 8 watched her miserable eating clear soup longevity noodles, very sad, and checked the replies of other systems one by one.
010: "Take her to eat delicious food, there is nothing that cannot be solved by one meal, if there is, just two." ”
037: "You mean the kid who delivers food to your host every day is dead?" Is it very sad that your host didn't even eat because of this? This is easy to do, and find her a kid who delivers food every day. ”
044: "I haven't comforted the host, I don't understand, don't ask, asking is to give money, give a lot of money." ”
006: "8, you're already a mature system, just the two of me, don't ask about this kind of trivial matter, the energy value of the reply is also the energy value, don't look for me for this kind of small problem in the future." ”
035: "Simple, erase your host's memory of that person." ”
……
Little 8 doesn't want to look at it anymore, none of those systems are reliable, and it is in vain that it spends so much energy to write to them for help.
But...... Looking at Qin Gong who was staring at the empty bowl in a daze after eating the bowl of noodles and drinking the soup, it gritted its teeth and continued to turn over the letter, and after a long time, it finally turned to a reliable one.
003: "Recently, the speed of the host's task completion has increased as if it had been knocked into medicine, and I have gained a lot of energy, so I will give you a good thing to comfort your host (Attachment: Three Points of Soul Water)." ”
