Chapter 36: Finding a Way to Break the Impasse I want to create a new national master,...

Before Qin Yuqing and Lu Jingchuan set off, they saw the emperor walking in despite the wind and rain.

Eunuch Zhang ran after him, holding an umbrella: "Slow down, Your Majesty!"

The emperor's gaze fell on Lu Jingchuan who was standing next to Qin Yuqing. He subconsciously frowned in displeasure, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

"Aruan, I have issued an order to ban the Imperial Master Tower. You must proceed immediately." The Emperor quickly walked over to Qin Yuqing and said, "Remember to be careful. Your father will do his best to take care of you. Don't be afraid, your father is here."

Qin Yuqing looked at the emperor in shock. At this moment, he no longer had any of the emperor's majesty. His whole body was soaked by the heavy rain, and his shoes and the corners of his clothes were covered with mud.

At this moment, it would be a lie to say I'm not moved.

"Yes, father." Qin Yuqing felt her adoptive father's undisguised fatherly love for her at this moment. She could sense that her father did not believe those false stories and chose to trust her.

"And you, if I find out you've neglected Ah Ruan," the emperor angrily waved his sleeves and said angrily, "I will bury the Lu family with you."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lu Jingchuan felt the emperor's disgust towards him. He didn't understand. The emperor had praised him highly just this morning. Why did he change so suddenly?

However, thanks to the emperor's secret arrangement, Qin Yuqing and Lu Jingchuan entered the National Master Tower very smoothly and soon entered the meditation room.

The meditation room is spotless, without a speck of dust. Some symbols with strange patterns, strange-looking magical instruments, some ancient books, etc. are neatly placed on the table, which shows the importance of this place to the National Master Tower.

Qin Yuqing was standing by the table and chairs by the window. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of something suspicious. She squatted down to examine it carefully, her fingers carefully rubbing the damaged part of the table. "No, Lu Jingchuan, take a look."

Hearing this, Lu Jingchuan quickly walked to Qin Yuqing's side, followed her line of sight, and saw dark red marks on the corners of the tables and chairs. If the table top had not been damaged over the years, the marks would not have remained.

"Is this blood?" Qin Yuqing leaned in and smelled it. She could smell a very faint smell of rust mixed with the fragrance of soapberry. At the same time, when she got closer, she smelled the fragrance of soapberry on the cushion on the ground.

This means that this meditation room has been cleaned.

"Has this place been tidied up after the death of the Imperial Master?" Qin Yuqing looked at Lu Jingchuan inquiringly. Seeing Lu Jingchuan shaking his head without hesitation, she understood.

Judging from the current clues, in modern terms, this is the first crime scene. However, the fragrance of soapberry indirectly proves that the murderer sneaked into the meditation room and cleaned the entire meditation room after killing people.

It's troublesome. Since it has been cleaned up, there are not many clues left.

Qin Yuqing stood up again and turned her head to look out the window. Below the meditation room was a large flat lawn. This was what she had observed when she and the fourth princess Qin Qinqin were copying books in the National Master Tower when she first came here. However, due to the violent storm outside, Qin Yuqing could not see the specific situation below.

Qin Yuqing frowned. Whether it was the bad weather or the consecutive deaths in the past few days, it was very unfavorable for her. Under such a heavy rain, there would be no clues left outdoors, and all traces would be hidden under the rain.

That's too bad.

My thoughts returned to the scene. The body of the National Master was discovered by a young Taoist priest. This young Taoist priest was responsible for the National Master's daily life. Seeing that the meal delivered in the morning had not been eaten, the worried young Taoist priest bravely knocked on the door of the meditation room, but there was no response.

The young Taoist priest called out to the Imperial Master several times but got no response, so he pushed open the door of the meditation room and saw the Imperial Master with his head down and his hands clenched on the table.

When the young Taoist priest got closer, he found that the national teacher was dead. He was so scared that he screamed. This scream attracted more Taoist priests. From then on, the news of the national teacher's death spread, but the coroner had not yet determined the specific cause of death.

Qin Yuqing's right eyelid suddenly twitched, and his heart skipped a beat, as if something bad was about to happen. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck the National Master Tower, and the white electric light cut through the dark night sky.

"Lu Jingchuan, I have a bad feeling." Qin Yuqing stood by the window, her ink-black hair like a waterfall was blown by the wind, half of her body was hidden in the darkness, her voice was swallowed by the rainstorm, but Lu Jingchuan still heard it.

"National Master, you will be punished by the gods."

Once again, a flash of lightning streaked across the night sky.

"But we still have a chance." Qin Yuqing quickly sorted out all the known clues. Didn't the person behind the scenes want her to confirm the rumor? Then she could also create a new rumor for the person behind the scenes.

Even, a new national master was sent to the person behind the scenes, oh no, a pair of national masters.

"Alhan's twins." Lu Jingchuan immediately understood what Qin Yuqing was talking about. He had been too anxious these days and had actually forgotten about the twins.

Qin Yuqing nodded. The special nature of twins was known to the entire Great Yin, especially the fact that twins could communicate with the gods.

This is just perfect, she just needs the gods to clear her name.

Qin Yuqing took Lu Jingchuan and braved the wind and rain, walking against the tide in the dark night. After finally shaking off the tail following behind, Qin Yuqing stood in front of a courtyard, knocked on the door politely, and then pushed it open and walked in.

"I knew you would come looking for them. I have already asked them to wait inside the house. Sixth Princess, you owe me this time..." Park Qinghe, who was standing in the yard holding an umbrella and acting pretentiously, turned around while speaking. When he saw Lu Jingchuan beside Qin Yuqing, he suddenly fell silent.

Qin Yuqing walked forward with a smile. She looked directly at Pu Qinghe in the rain and said, "Yes, in order to thank the head of the Pu family for his help, I, the Sixth Princess, specially brought an old friend to you." As Qin Yuqing spoke, she turned sideways. There was no emotion on Lu Jingchuan's cold face.

"It's been a while since we last met. You brothers have a lot to discuss." Qin Yuqing walked towards the house. "I'm sure General Lu must have something to ask Patriarch Park about the Wenshan assassination. Don't you agree, Lu Jingchuan?"

There was no expression on Lu Jingchuan's face, which looked as if he would freeze to death. He nodded and made a gesture of invitation when he heard Qin Yuqing's words.

"Let's go to the room and talk. Don't catch a cold at this critical moment." After saying that, Qin Yuqing entered the room and closed the door.

Xiao Wu and Xiao Lu had already heard about what happened in the capital. Xiao Lu handed a bowl of ginger soup to Qin Yuqing and said, "Sixth Princess, please drink this ginger soup to drive away the cold."

"Thank you." Qin Yuqing didn't waste any more time talking to the twins. She asked directly, "Are you willing to be the imperial tutor?"

The little deer said without thinking: "As long as my brother is willing, I am willing."

Xiao Wu tilted his head to think. He knew time was of the essence, so he didn't want to beat around the bush with Qin Yuqing. "Okay, but I have a request."

"I will help you find out your background." Qin Yuqing knew what Xiao Wu was worried about. They were Alhan people and had Alhan blood in their bodies. If Park Qinghe's words were not false, these twins might be extremely important to Alhan.

"If your sister wants to leave, you have to take her with you." Xiao Wu spoke again.

"That's exactly what I meant." Qin Yuqing had a premonition that the capital would only be the beginning of her life in this novel world, and what happened outside the capital would be the real beginning.

"Brother, Xiaolu doesn't want to leave you." Xiaolu was okay with this and immediately hugged Xiaowu's arm and acted coquettishly.

"To be honest with you, Princess, my sister is the one who carries the oracle. When you leave Beijing in the future, my sister will be your best helper." Xiao Wu did not try to coax Xiao Lu at first, but laid out his final trump card and explained it to Qin Yuqing.

"Okay, if the deer is willing to follow me, I will definitely take good care of her." Qin Yuqing had no reason to refuse, and she also wanted to see what the oracle meant.

Also, she wanted to know who left the words for her and what the relationship between her and Lu Jingchuan was.

Seeing that his brother had made up his mind, Xiaolu was a little unhappy and sulked, patting Xiaowu's back hard: "Bad brother."

Qin Yuqing watched the interaction between the twins with some amusement. She was an only child and had never experienced the feeling of brothers and sisters. In this cannibalistic dynasty, let alone family affection, it was good enough to be able to survive.

"Sixth Princess, please tell me, what do you need me and my sister to do?"

Qin Yuqing thought for a moment, her eyes falling on the red maple leaf on the bookshelf not far away. A new idea came to her mind, and she asked, "What is this?"

"These are leaves I picked up from the mountains a few days ago. Aren't they beautiful? It's a pity that only a few leaves look like this."

A few days ago, Qin Yuqing roughly calculated the time. It was the end of winter when she entered the book. She didn't expect that autumn would come so soon.

"Is there a map?" Qin Yuqing asked while gesturing. She suddenly had a bold idea. She originally thought it was severe convective weather, but now it seems that there might be other possibilities.

"Yes, wait a moment." Xiao Wu took out the map of Dayin.

Qin Yuqing looked at the location of the capital. There was only one sign to the east. "Where is this?"

"This is Yuyang, a coastal border city." Pu Qinghe and Lu Jingchuan supported each other and walked into the room.

Qin Yuqing looked at the red and purple cheeks of both parties and said with a sigh, "Have you established a good relationship?"

Lu Jingchuan pushed Pu Qinghe away and walked to Qin Yuqing and sat down sullenly.

"Instead of teasing us, why don't you think about what to do next?" Park Qinghe dragged a stool over and sat down nearby. "My subordinates have reported that there are rumors in the capital that the Imperial Master died as a punishment from the gods."

"I guessed it." Qin Yuqing was not surprised by this. On the contrary, the person behind the scenes was merciful and did not spread rumors immediately after the death of the National Master. This would have caused her to die faster.

Perhaps the person behind this likes to play cat and mouse?

But some mice might also be able to catch cats, right?

Qin Yuqing looked at the map and thought for a moment, then turned to Lu Jingchuan and asked, "Do you know that this Imperial Master is a kind person?"

"Not entirely." Lu Jingchuan was indeed Qin Yuqing's most satisfied partner. "But, according to the law, he should be executed."

"Then I feel relieved."

"What are you two talking about?" Park Qinghe looked at the equally puzzled twins with a confused look on his face. "Do you two understand?"

The twins shook their heads honestly. In their eyes, the Sixth Princess was extremely terrifying, especially her IQ, which was almost like a demon.

Qin Yuqing picked up a pen and scribbled on the map, looking at the storm outside the window from time to time. The rain had slowed down a bit at this time, and the clouds in the sky could be vaguely seen. The clouds were like white feathers floating quickly, and their thickness was constantly increasing.

"I will create a new national master and let the new national master give a new oracle." Qin Yuqing understood in her heart that this plan had too many uncertainties, but she no longer had time to think of a careful plan. The person behind the scenes was waiting to use this trick to kill her.

"Time is running out, listen to me."

"We have to make sure that every step is correct."

"After the task is completed, there will be a generous reward."
