Chapter 17 Wooden Box

After the matter came to an end, Shen Xun told Su Song about it, and Su Song sent someone to inform the county magistrate that Qi Yunxi's male and female favorites were no longer useful, and asked the county magistrate to let them go home.

Qi Yunxi suggested going back to her yard to pack some clothes, and after Su Song agreed, she pulled Shen Xun and ran away.

"Hey, I didn't ask you to... Never mind."

Susong is in a mess.

Whatever.

As long as we can reach Youzhou safely, that's enough.

Su Yang looked at Su Song suspiciously. What was wrong with his master? Why was he so indulgent towards these prisoners?

In the team, Qi Yunzhou approached Zhong Danyue and said, "Yue'er, I told you that Jiang Xinming is not a good person! Don't think about him anymore."

"That won't do," Zhong Danyue shook her head, "I have to think about him all the time."

Qi Yunzhou's face fell, "Why?"

Zhong Danyue sewed the last stitch skillfully, then wrote Jiang Xinming's name and date of birth, and inserted the needle into the sewn figurine without hesitation.

"Because," she gritted her teeth, "I'm going to poke him in the face every day, and when I find him, I'm going to tear him into pieces!"

Having failed her sincerity, even if I were to grind my bones and scatter my ashes, it would be hard to get rid of the hatred in her heart!

In a carriage thousands of miles away, Jiang Xinming hugged Qingrong. Just as he was about to move over to kiss her, he sneezed loudly.

"A-choo!"

Qing Rong quickly asked with concern: "Sir, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Xinming patted her shoulder and said, "It's okay, Rong'er, we're almost there, don't worry."

Qing Rong nodded and said with a smile: "Rong Er is lucky to have been favored by you, that's why we are where we are today."

"Thanks to your intelligence, we were able to find what the monarch wanted in the Princess's residence."

Jiang Xinming laughed heartily, feeling extremely happy when he thought of his bright future.

"Yue'er, let me help you!"

Qi Yunzhou asked Zhong Danyue to wait for a moment. He left in a hurry and came back soon.

"Yue'er, here."

He stretched out his hand and handed a box of silver needles to Zhong Danyue, "Use these to prick your entire body!"

Just as Zhong Danyue was about to ask where the silver needle came from, she heard King Hu roar, "You little bastard! Give me back the silver needle!"

Qi Yunzhou told Zhong Danyue: "Yue'er, you tie it first, I'll go hide--"

After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.

Zhong Danyue: “…”

Is this still the tyrant Qi Yunzhou she knows?

Not far away, Susong took out two balls of cotton with an expressionless face and stuffed them into his ears.

So annoying!

The Princess's Mansion.

Shen Xun and Qi Yunxi used the excuse of packing clothes, but actually entered the dark room in Qi Yunxi's house and put everything inside into the space.

"Wow! This is amazing!"

Qi Yunxi watched with starry eyes, and saw Shen Xun wave his hand, and a large pile of things disappeared.

"Huh? Yunxi, what is this?"

After Shen Xun put away his things, he found that there was a wooden box hidden in the corner that had not been put away.

She opened it and saw that there was nothing inside.

Qi Yunxi took a look and shook his head, "I don't recognize them. The secret room is full of treasures I like. This wooden box is ordinary. Maybe it was accidentally brought in when transporting things?"

She likes shiny jewelry, and the gray wooden box is the kind that she wouldn't want even if it was given to her for free.

"Forget it," Shen Xun threw the wooden box into the space, "Just take it with you, it doesn't take up much space, and you can use it for burning firewood in the future."

This time, Shen Xun did not take advantage of the situation. One reason was that all the things in the Princess's Mansion were taken away by the county governor. Another reason was that after the palace was emptied, Prince Su had been investigating. If the Princess's Mansion was emptied again, Prince Su would definitely think of her.

After meeting up with the team, Susong breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally we can continue on our journey.

He was about to give the order when he heard someone shout, "Wait!"

Su Song was mad: "What happened again!"

A girl in a turquoise dress trotted over and stuffed a small bundle into Qi Yunxi's hand.

Shen Xun remembered that she was the concubine's daughter who begged for Qi Yunxi's mercy.

She said quickly, "Princess, this is a token of our appreciation. Please keep it for your journey. Consider it a token of gratitude for your cultivation of us."

After saying that, she ran away without waiting for Su Song to scold her.

Qi Yunxi looked over with her bag in her arms, and the scholar, the girl and the others waved at her.

She suddenly smiled, trotted a few steps to Qi Yunzhou, and boasted: "Brother Tyrant, look, I am loved by the people!"

Qi Yunzhou curled his lips and went to Zhong Danyue for comfort.

Zhong Danyue walked to Shen Xun again and handed the bundle to her, "Xun, please help me keep it."

Shen Xun responded with a smile. She took a casual look and saw that there was gold, silver, and jewelry inside. It was obvious that it was collected by many people.

Considering the number of male and female favorites Qi Yunxi has, it is not surprising. Just putting a little in each of them will fill up the bag.

Chen Xun was busy with Qi Yunxi these two days, and Xie Lan didn't dare to disturb her. Now that he finally had some free time, he gave two cans of peeled chestnuts to his wife and daughter.

Shen Xun gladly accepted it, and Qi Yunxi thanked him and also accepted it.

Xie Lan said, "We're family, no need to thank me."

Qi Yunxi thought about it and said bluntly: "Then I want another can."

This girl, you’re welcome, and she really is!

Xie Lan said helplessly: "Okay."

There's plenty of time anyway, I'll peel two more later... Never mind, three cans.

Qi Yunxi was satisfied. She said to Shen Xun, "Xun, I still want to eat that hard candy from last time."

Shen Xun took out a handful of lollipops and said, "Eat less, be careful of tooth decay."

"Uh-huh!"

It turns out that this is what it feels like to act coquettishly with your parents.

"Why is this jade pendant only half?"

Xie Lan inadvertently glanced at half a jade pendant in the bag. He took it out and saw the word "Xi" engraved on the jade pendant.

"This is?"

Qi Yunxi took a look and said, "Let me think... Oh, this is a jade pendant I gave to someone before. It was originally in two halves and can be put together."

As for why it’s half… maybe the other half is lost.

Qi Yunxi didn't think much about it.

By the way, who is this jade pendant for?

Forgot.

In Qinghe City, Qi Yunxi's former male and female favorites gathered together.

The girl who delivered the gift looked at the half jade pendant that the scholar was playing with and asked curiously, "Why are you keeping this half jade pendant? Could it be that you are thinking of someone by looking at it?"

The scholar chuckled: "What the hell! I kept it so I could have a token of my loyalty when I go to seek refuge with the princess in the future."

Others were puzzled, "They were all exiled. Are you going to Youzhou?"

The scholar said mysteriously, "The secret cannot be revealed. Considering our friendship, I will remind you if I leave."

"If you want to leave, let's go together. If you don't want to leave, forget it."

After saying that, the scholar left, leaving behind a group of men and women full of questions.

"What does he mean?"

"Who knows? Maybe he's become stupid from studying too much."

Everyone left one after another, leaving only the girl alone.

She sighed. She had fallen out with her elder sister and it was impossible for her to go home. The world was so big, but there was no place for her to stay.

Actually, come to think of it, being in the Princess's residence is pretty good. At least the things the Princess had people teach her are something she'll benefit from for the rest of her life...
