Chapter 34 Conspiracy
Zhou Fangyu didn't expect Qin Qixuan to let Fu Qian take care of her.
Thinking of the grievances she had suffered these days, Zhou Fangyu finally couldn't help but complain out loud.
"How is Qin Xixi better than me? She can't speak, wets the bed, sleeps all day, and is so lazy. Why does His Royal Highness favor her so much!"
"Even today on the Lantern Festival, His Royal Highness wants to protect her. Have you all forgotten that I am the noble lady that His Majesty is talking about?"
Pei Xuanyi frowned when he heard this.
"When did you let me make decisions for you? Are you using your status as a noble lady to suppress me, the royal grandson?"
Zhou Fangyu was also angry for a moment, and at this time she felt that her words were a bit hasty.
"I'm not..."
Pei Xuanyi didn't want to hear her explanation.
"You feel that being taken care of by Lord Fu Qian is unfair to you, and you insist that I take care of you?"
Zhou Fangyu's face turned pale.
Although Fu Qian is not as good as Pei Xuanyi, he is also the son-in-law of the emperor, and she naturally dare not dislike him.
After Pei Xuanyi pointed it out, Fu Qian's face turned ugly.
"Before you speak, look clearly at your identity. You are not qualified to speak to me like this."
Pei Xuanyi is obviously not very old, and his voice is very childish, but he has a terrifying ability.
Zhou Fangyu didn't expect that the emperor's grandson would be so indifferent to her status as a noble lady. She was speechless after being ridiculed by him. She could only lower her head and pretend to be pitiful.
Qin Xixi was also not used to Zhou Fangyu's behavior. The little grandson of the emperor just gave her a lecture, which made Xixi feel relieved!
[Zhou Fangyu now knows how powerful the little grandson of the emperor is. Let's see if she dares to act rashly again. Don't look at her as a child. She has used her knowledge from a thousand years later to help Zhou Fangze, and has also given Zhou Qing many sinister ideas to deal with her mother! The little grandson of the emperor must not treat her as a child.]
Pei Xuanyi heard Xixi's thoughts and disliked Zhou Fangyu even more.
She is too scheming, and her mind is all focused on how to cling to the powerful, just like her mother and brother.
Unwilling to say anything more, Pei Xuanyi took the luggage, hugged Xixi, and entered the first room.
This time it was Fu Qian who was unwilling.
He was the emperor's consort after all, and he didn't dislike Zhou Fangyu, so what qualifications did Zhou Fangyu have to dislike him?
But after all, Zhou Fangyu was a noble lady favored by the emperor. He picked up Zhou Fangyu with a sullen face and went into a room, unwilling to say a word to her.
It was late at night.
The candles in the alley went out unnoticed.
There was a rustling sound, and a gray-white floating object passed by, making sharp sounds while looking for prey.
It floated into an inn, and just as it was about to go in to find its prey, it screamed because of the scorching heat in the air.
Why is the person in this room so meritorious that he can be burned so uncomfortable from a distance?
Fear appeared in its cloudy eyes, and it hurriedly left the place with golden light in its eyes and floated to a deeper place...
It was here that it laughed, floated into the room, and saw its prey, which was also its own kind.
"Ah!"
Zhou Fangyu opened his eyes and saw the monster, and was frightened and screamed.
...
The next morning, several people prepared to set off again.
Naturally, no little ghosts dared to approach Pei Xuanyi and Qin Xixi all night. The two slept very well and looked very good, washing away the fatigue of the journey.
But Fu Qian and Zhou Fangyu were not so lucky.
Fu Qian's face was full of fatigue, and dark circles were heavily hanging under his eyes. It was obvious that he did not sleep well.
He said he was here to rest for a night, but it made him even more tired.
He was busy fighting with the little devil in the first half of the night, and he had to take his hands out to protect Zhou Fangyu. In the second half of the night, Zhou Fangyu kept crying and making a lot of noise, which made it impossible for him to sleep.
Seeing that Pei Xuanyi was in good spirits at this time, he was even more annoyed with Zhou Fangyu.
Even if they didn't get enough rest, the schedule did not allow them to rest in the inn for another night.
Fu Qian could only hurry on his way full of resentment.
Before they left, they handed a letter to the shopkeeper and gave him some silver.
He was told that if two young men came here to find them, he should give this letter to the two men.
The shopkeeper would naturally not refuse such a good thing since he didn't have to work hard and could get silver.
He also saw who was the most favored among the group, and he praised Qin Xixi for her plump figure, blessing, and pleasing appearance.
For some reason, although Qin Xixi slept well at night, she felt a little sleepy as soon as she got on the car. She closed her eyelids and fell asleep again.
This sleep was certainly not an ordinary sleep.
Qin Xixi hadn't had a dream for a long time, but at this moment she dreamed of Qin Qixuan and Zhou Fangze at the same time!
Dreaming of Qin Qixuan was understandable, after all, he was her dear elder brother.
But dreaming of Zhou Fangze...
must not be without reason.
Looking closely, isn't this a team escorting food and grass?
She actually dreamed about her elder brother and his friends!
In the dream, Qin Qixuan and Zhou Fangze finally arrived at the team transporting grain.
As soon as Qin Qixuan arrived at the team, he stated his purpose and wanted to carefully check whether the grain was safe.
However, the officer escorting the grain greeted them with a smile.
"My lords, the grain is well protected by our soldiers and there is absolutely no possibility of any mistakes. If you are really worried, why don't you have lunch with us first and then continue the inspection."
Qin Qixuan subconsciously felt that something was wrong. He wanted to refuse, but Zhou Fangze agreed before him.
"We have been rushing all night and are a little tired. Thank you for your hospitality."
He didn't understand why Qin Qixuan was in such a hurry.
What's the problem with the food? There are so many people watching over it.
He originally wanted to find a place to have a good rest that night, but Qin Qixuan refused to agree.
Naturally, he couldn't stop and let Qin Qixuan monopolize the limelight.
As a result, he could only follow Qin Qixuan and hurry up. The horse was almost exhausted, and finally arrived at the grain and hay.
At this time, someone was willing to entertain him, so there was no reason for Zhou Fangze to disagree.
Moreover, this kind of drinking party is also a good opportunity for him to accumulate connections in the officialdom in the future.
Qin Qixuan is really a fool, Zhou Fangze was a little disdainful.
Qin Xixi watched them from the side, but couldn't speak out to remind them, so she could only worry.
[These officials are obviously not well-intentioned. Zhou Fangze, why are you so stupid? Officials who refuse to let others check the grain and hay at this time must have problems! 】
Zhou Fangze was chatting happily with the officials, while Qin Qixuan followed them into the private room without saying a word.
What time is it? The disaster victims are eating tree bark out front because they are hungry, but these officials still have time to have a drink and eat in the restaurant!
Qin Qixuan felt that they were really hopeless, and at the same time, he was convinced that there must be something wrong with the food.
Unfortunately, it would be difficult to save the food by just the two of them, so they had to find a way to let Pei Xuanyi and the others know and come to help quickly.
【These officials who escorted the food have been bribed to burn the food! They dared to burn the food directly, so why wouldn't they dare to detain two students who have not yet held official positions! 】
Qin Xixi was afraid that her elder brother would be hurt, and she tried hard to shout to him, but he really couldn't hear her. Qin Xixi wanted to wake up again and let the little grandson go to pick up her elder brother, but she couldn't do it. Helplessly, she could only continue to watch the development of the situation.
She saw with her own eyes that the fat official put drugs in the wine glasses of her elder brother and Zhou Fangze, trying to make them unconscious!
The official handed the wine glasses to the two of them with a smile.
"You two have worked hard to come here. Wang will offer you a glass first."
Zhou Fangze said that he didn't feel comfortable, and was about to drink with him, but was stopped by Qin Qixuan.
"We have some serious business to attend to later. Drinking will only cause trouble. It's better not to drink."
Zhou Fangze was a little annoyed by Qin Qixuan. Just when he was about to retort, he heard Qin Qixuan whispering to him.
"There's something wrong with the wine. You can take the opportunity to escape and pass the message to Huangsun and others to let them come quickly."
Although Qin Qixuan didn't trust Zhou Fangze very much, there were only two of them at the moment, and he had no other choice.
Zhou Fangze was shocked. There was something wrong with the wine?
What about the rations... His face turned pale.
Seeing this, the officials on the opposite side also frowned.
"It seems that you two don't want to drink?"
Qin Qixuan sneered, signaling Zhou Fangze to find the right opportunity to run away.
"I would like to ask you, gentlemen, what are you thinking when you repeatedly prevent us from checking the grain?"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Wang Yao sneered and immediately ordered his men to catch them.
Unexpectedly, under the cover of Qin Qixuan, Zhou Fangze still escaped.
Wang Yao's expression changed, "Hurry up and chase him! Don't let him run away!"
