Volume I, Chapter 12

The county magistrate looked at the two of them for a while, and then asked: I don't know what the relationship between the two is?

"The two of us are." Xuan Yi paused, momentarily embarrassed.

But seeing Ji Shan smiling skillfully, he replied in a pretty voice: He is my brother.

"Brother?" Xuan Yi and the county lord exclaimed at the same time.

"Miss Jia, this official doesn't understand, Ge Gongzi's surname is Ge, your surname is Jia, how are you two brothers and sisters?" The county magistrate's eyes were full of suspicion.

"Uh... Qi Shan was dumbfounded for a while, but her eyes lit up, and she said calmly: That's the case, my brother takes his father's surname, but I follow my mother's surname.

The county magistrate stroked the beard under his chin with one hand, and asked General Xuanyi Xinxin: Is this the case with Gongzi Ge?

Xuan Yi smiled: Yes, yes, she takes my mother's surname, and I follow my father's surname.

When the county magistrate heard Xuanyi's reply, he finally let go of the doubts in his heart and exclaimed: Seeing that Miss Jia looks so dignified and generous, if she enters the palace, she will be able to win the heart of the king.

As soon as Xuan Yi heard this, his gentle and handsome face instantly sank, and asked: Lord Zhixian, I want to ask, is there an official document for this emperor's draft?

The county magistrate was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: This official document, the imperial court will go down sooner or later, and we are just one step ahead of the draft preparations.

"Then since there is no official document, how do you know that the emperor is going to be drafted?" Xuan Yi asked, puzzled.

I saw the county master smile mysteriously, leaned forward, and whispered to Xuan Yi and Ji Shan: What about this county, there is a distant cousin who is on an errand in the Internal Affairs Office, a few days ago, he sent me a letter, secretly informing me that the Internal Affairs Office has begun to prepare to open six palaces for the emperor, let me look for a good candidate first, and as soon as the official document comes out, I can be one step ahead of others and send the selected beauties into the palace to fill the position of the twelve hairpins.

Xuan Yi frowned and pondered, all his thoughts lingering on the words of the county master.

But Ji Shan thought of something, frowned, and asked: You just said twelve hairpins, this emperor opened six palaces, isn't it one phoenix and twelve hairpins, what about this phoenix?

The county magistrate squinted and replied: The girl is right, do you know that the emperor has been looking for his father in the past few years?

Xuan Yi and Ji Shan nodded at the same time.

"Then do you know that the emperor went out to look for his father, and there was a girl with him?" the county magistrate continued to ask.

The corners of Xuanyi's mouth suddenly hooked up a good-looking arc, spread out the folding fan in his hand, and said calmly: I know...

Qi Shan thought for a moment, but still puzzled: What does this have to do with Yifeng?

The county magistrate laughed for a while and said: Miss Jia is so smart, why is she confused again this time. Think about it, what kind of woman can let the emperor take with her, and it will be three years?

"This must be someone that the emperor likes or even loves deeply", Xuan Yi followed the words of the county master, said unhurriedly, and a pair of slightly raised eyes fell on Qi Shan.

Qi Shan's face was slightly red, and she raised her eyes inadvertently, just met his half-playful gaze, and quickly dodged it.

The county magistrate clapped his hands and praised: It's still your brother who is reasonable. This woman who followed the emperor called Lin Jishan, originally had a marriage contract with the current saint, and I heard that she was both talented and beautiful, and she was deeply liked by the emperor, and she was a loyal martyr, since the position of this phoenix is absolutely him, and I heard it。。。。。 The county magistrate said and looked around, and continued to lower his voice and said: I also heard that this Lin girl has already given birth to a prince for the emperor, but because the emperor is a filial son, the emperor has not found it, so he has been dragging it out and not giving her a name.

"What," said Shan in a hurry, jumping up from her chair, stamping her feet, and pouting, "Is this just nonsense?"

Xuan Yi looked at Qi Shan, his handsome eyes narrowed, and said calmly: Qi . . . I said sister, it's just some gossip, why are you so angry.

"What gossip, it's easy to say, and you don't suffer." Ji Shan glared at him angrily, too, a woman who had not left the cabinet, but was misrepresented as having children for a man, and no one was happy.

Xuan Yi shook his head helplessly and glanced at her, so that Qi Shan could calm down.

The county magistrate on the side looked at Qi Shan, who was so anxious, but misunderstood the meaning, so he persuaded: Miss Jia, don't give up on yourself so much. Although the queen's position will not be obtained for a while, it will be a long time in the future, as long as you enter the palace, there will be opportunities. You say yes or no.

"Hmph." She pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Xuan Yi could only smile awkwardly and said: My sister, everything is fine, but she is a little tempered, and it will be fine after a while. By the way, there is something I don't know whether to ask or not?

The county magistrate also said directly: Ge Gongzi, excuse me.

The folding fan in Xuanyi's hand was closed, and he said slowly: That's the case, our brother and sister heard early this morning that the second son of the Lin Mansion died unexpectedly, and the murderer who killed Lin Shaoye was also brought back to the yamen, but why didn't he go to the court for interrogation?

The county magistrate's sycophantic face suddenly sank, and he said coldly: "Gongzi Ge, this is the government affairs of the yamen, shouldn't you ask?"

Xuan Yi stopped, and then smiled: Since this is the case, I don't think it's too early, and it's time for my brother and sister to leave.

"What about Ling Mei's draft in the palace?" The county magistrate doesn't want to lose this little beauty who can let him in.

Xuan Yi looked back at Qi Shan and smiled faintly, and said: This is a lifelong event related to my sister, and I have to go back to ask my parents for their opinions.

This reason did not make the county magistrate suspicious, so he said: The official is waiting for good news here.

Under the scorching sun, bustling and bustling, a pair of handsome men and beauties walked side by side.

Xuanyi held the closed folding fan and held his hands behind him. His eyes were calm and thoughtful.

And Ji Shan also followed her pace without saying a word, occasionally glancing sideways at the man next to her.

Suddenly, a daredevil, out of nowhere, jumped out of nowhere and crashed into Xuanyi's sideways, fortunately Xuanyi's own martial arts foundation was good, plus there was a Jishan pulling, just staggered forward a few steps.

And the one who caused the accident was not much better, and fell straight to the bottom.

Xuan Yi and Qi Shan glanced at each other tacitly, and hurriedly went over to help him up.

Qi Shan blamed unhappily: How do you walk, it's okay, Brother Xuanyi is fine, otherwise I won't be able to spare you.

The perpetrator rubbed the skin on his face, the corners of his mouth twitched in pain, and said: "Two, I'm sorry, I was in a hurry to ask for a doctor for our master, so I was so reckless."

Xuan Yi smiled and said: It's okay, it's okay, it seems that you are also a loyal servant.

The perpetrator sighed and sighed: What kind of loyal servant or disloyal servant, if the Xue family hadn't taken me in at the beginning, I would have starved to death on the streets. In short, the Xue family is a good person, but why is this good person not rewarded?

Xuan Yi and Qi Shan looked at each other suspiciously, puzzled: How do you say this?

The perpetrator looked up at the two of them for a while, and then asked, "Are you from out of town?"

Both nodded at the same time.

The perpetrator chuckled and said: No wonder, otherwise how could we not know the grievances suffered by our Xue family

"Xue family, Xue Lang... Qi Shan suddenly thought of something in her mind, and hurriedly asked: This little brother, what does the Xue family you are talking about have to do with the Lin family, to be exact, what does it have to do with the eldest lady of the Lin family?

As soon as he heard the Lin family, the little brother's face was more angry, and he scolded: If it weren't for their Lin family, our young master would not have been wronged, and our master would not have been sick...

Speaking of his master, the little brother remembered what he was here for, so he hurriedly said: "Two, I won't talk to you, I have to go to the doctor, I'm really embarrassed...

As he left with lightning speed, Xuan Yi couldn't wait to ask: Qi Shan, how did you know that the Lin family had a relationship with the Xue family?

Ji Shan's thick eyelashes slowly raised, and said: That's it.

After Ji Shan told Xuan Yi about the encounter with Miss Lin in the backyard of the Lin family last night, he nodded thoughtfully and said in a deep voice: It seems that it is no different from what Jiu Zui heard.

"Brother Nine Drunk?" Ji Shan asked puzzled.

"Oh, that's the case, last night, Jiu Zui also heard others say that the master of the Lin family was stabbed to death by his future uncle. Xuan Yi explained to Ji Shan with a smile.

Qi Shan's clear eyes moved slightly, and said leisurely: According to this logic, it should be Lin Xian'er's future husband who killed his father, and then was sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn. What is puzzling is how much hatred he must have since his future husband killed his father. But last night, when Lin Xian'er called Xue Lang, she didn't have any hatred, on the contrary, she was full of affection.

"Yes, and according to common sense, my brother died tragically, and as a sister, I should be sad and sad, but I found that Lin Xian'er didn't mean to be sad at all, it seems that this Lin family is really incomprehensible." Xuan Yi said suspiciously.

Qi Shan shook her head and was silent, the two were silent for a moment, and she asked again: Brother Xuanyi, why didn't you just ask the county magistrate about the matter at the county office?

Xuan Yi shook his head and said in a deep voice: We still can't figure out how the county order behaves, and we shouldn't startle the snake.

Ji Shan frowned and asked, "Then what should we do now?"

Xuan Yi smiled lightly: Go to Xue's house, we...

"Ahh Ji Shan suddenly held her lower abdomen, groaned, and her face turned pale.

Xuan Yi hurriedly supported her and asked with concern: Are you okay?

Qi Shan leaned on Xuan Yi's body, unable to speak in pain, and her flushed face was also a little more sweaty.

Xuan Yi frowned, hugged her tightly with one hand, and gently patted her back with the other, trying to make her as comfortable as possible.

Suddenly, Qi Shan slowly broke away from Xuan Yi's arms, and her face gradually became a little bloody.

Xuanyi gently stroked the half-wet hair on her forehead, and asked softly: Is it better?

Ji Shan nodded lightly and replied: "It's much better."

Xuan Yi raised his eyes to look ahead and said, "That's it, I'll send you back first."

Qi Shan took a deep breath and said weakly: No need, this is not a few steps away from the Lin Mansion, I'll just go back by myself, you hurry up and go to the Xue family and find out the matter.

Xuanyi knew that he had always been unable to resist her, so he could only confirm again: Can you yourself?

Qi Shan smiled and nodded heavily.

Xuan Yi hummed, took out a crimson ginger candy from his sleeve and handed it to her, and said softly: Remember to take it.

Qi Shan held the sugar in her hand and looked at Tianyou, who was gradually walking away, with a happy smile on her face.
