Since even the king has spoken, Qi Shuguang had no choice but to say yes and sat down in the pavilion.

However, Yuwen Lan originally thought he could escape, but the moment Qi Shuguang sat down, he heard Yan Shu's scream again -

[Ahhh, the idol is sitting down! He is sitting at the same table with the boss! They are drinking tea together!!!]

However, right after the scream, she became sad again and cried in her heart, [Wuwuwu, they have it so hard! Is this the first time in this life that we sit at the same table? Wuwuwu, it's so heartbreaking...]

Yuwen Lan, "..."

Why is there so much thinking in his head?

Tsk, is it not good to have such a big ups and downs in emotions?

Fortunately, after a while of sobbing, Yan Shu finally calmed down. Seeing the maids bringing tea to Qi Shuguang, she hurriedly said, "By the way, didn't you bring some snacks today? Why not take them out and try them together?"

The maids agreed, and then took out the food boxes and placed several snacks on the stone table in the pavilion. There were Chongyang cakes, chestnut cakes, lotus seed cakes, osmanthus cakes, etc., which looked quite pleasing to the eye.

Especially the Chongyang cake, which was made of glutinous rice flour, mixed with red beans, preserved fruits, etc., and steamed. It looked white, glutinous, sweet, and very tempting. Especially

... ahem, this is a snack from the snack room of Ci'an Palace, and outsiders can't buy it even if they have money.

Yan Shu said, "Today is the Double Ninth Festival, we must eat Double Ninth Cake, everyone come and have a taste."

Well, mainly because her idol Mr. Qi must not be polite, it's a rare opportunity!

However, after the voice fell, the emperor and the queen mother both picked up the Double Ninth Cake, but Mr. Qi still didn't dare to move.

Yan Shu felt a little regretful, but she couldn't speak again.

Fortunately, at this moment, her cool and handsome queen mother spoke again, "This Double Ninth Cake is made by me, sir, don't you give me the face to taste it?"

Yan Shu, [What!!! This was made by the queen mother herself??? Mr. Qi can't miss it! ! ! ! 】

Then, Mr. Qi was choked again, and he had to say, "Madam, you are too polite. How dare I?"

But the Queen Mother smiled under her veil and said, "Since we are sitting at the same table, how can we eat while you don't? Don't be polite."

Yan Shu, [Ahhh, the boss is so powerful! What you said is so reasonable! Mr. Qi, please don't be polite anymore ahhhh!!!] As

soon as the voice fell, her idol Mr. Qi had to say yes, and also picked up a piece of Chongyang cake and ate it with the three of them.

Yan Shu finally felt relieved, and then she tasted the Chongyang cake carefully.

Yuwen Lan's ears were quiet, and he finally tasted the cake.

But before he could swallow it, he heard Yan Shu flattering the Queen Mother, "This cake is dense, soft and glutinous, sweet but not greasy, and the red beans and preserved fruits are added just right. Madam's craftsmanship is also great!"

The Queen Mother laughed and said, "You girl are used to coaxing people!"

Yan Shu said shamelessly, "No, no, I am speaking from the bottom of my heart. Otherwise, ask the master, is this cake especially delicious?"

Yu Wenlan, who was caught off guard by his name, "..."

Just flatter yourself, why do you have to drag him to flatter?

But since he was already named, he could only say, "It's really good, mother's craftsmanship has always been very good."

After saying that, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, the Queen Mother actually made this Chongyang cake by herself, could it be for Qi Shuguang to eat?

But on second thought, she didn't know she would meet today, so it didn't seem to be the case.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but test Qi Shuguang's heart, but heard him sigh silently, [The cake is delicious, it's rare that she makes it by herself, it's probably for His Majesty, right? Now the mother is loving and the son is filial, it's not in vain for the hardships he went through in the past.]

Yuwen Lan secretly raised his eyebrows.

Well, he admitted that he had never heard any weird words in this person's heart. Of

course, he was not the only one who could hear Qi Shuguang's thoughts now. Then, Yan Shu's voice also came into his ears, [Wuwuwu, the idol has always been thinking about the Queen Mother, sighing for the Queen Mother, is there another such good man in the world? ? ?]

Yuwen Lan, "..."

Can he not be called a good man?

Why does he always have to be ranked at the back when compared with Qi Shuguang?

Perhaps because of the inexplicable unhappiness in his heart, he asked Qi Shuguang, "Why did you come to Dangui Mountain today?"

But Qi Shuguang hurriedly said, "There has always been a custom of climbing mountains on Double Ninth Festival in my hometown. I heard that Dangui Mountain is not high, so I wanted to come and see it."

After the voice fell, Yuwen Lan did not hear any other thoughts in his mind.

Instead, he heard Yan Shu hum quietly, "You actually asked my idol like this!!! Did I come here on purpose to meet the Queen Mother!!!" My idol is a middle-aged man in his forties after all. Can't he climb low mountains because he can't climb high ones?】

Yuwen Lan, "..."

He was just asking, why is he so angry...

Then, the Queen Mother sighed, "He is not young anymore, probably like me, his legs and feet are not very good.】

Yuwen Lan, "..."

Well, it's true, just like the Queen Mother, Qi Shuguang is not young anymore, and it is possible that he can't climb the high mountains.

But let's not talk about it, time flies, I remember when he was working in the court, he was full of vigor and vitality.

I didn't expect that so many years have passed since we met again.

Yuwen Lan didn't say anything else, just took another piece of osmanthus cake and ate it.

After taking two bites, she thought it was good, and handed another piece to Yan Shu, saying, "Try this, it's fragrant and delicious."

Yan Shu took it and took a bite, and immediately flattered the Queen Mother again, "This is also made by Madam, right? It's very crispy and has the fragrance of osmanthus!"

The Queen Mother laughed again, "Then you are praising the wrong person, this is made by Dian Xin Fang."

But Yan Shu remained calm and continued to flatter with a thick face, "Dian Xin Fang, isn't it also prepared and taught by you? How can it be compared with other places?" The Queen

Mother laughed again.

Even Qi Shuguang at the side couldn't help but smile.

Yuwen Lan, "..."

Well, it turns out that this is how the Queen Mother likes her.

But seeing the Queen Mother so happy, today's trip was not in vain, fortunately.

~~

Seeing a few people chatting and laughing, two cups of tea had already passed.

There seemed to be not many tourists going up the mountain, and few people came to the courtyard.

Yuwen Lan was thinking whether he should set off to go down the mountain, but suddenly a few people came into his sight.

The leader was probably a mother and son. The son was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and the mother was probably less than forty years old. Behind them were a servant and a maid.

The strange thing was that judging from the expressions and behavior of the mother and son, they did not seem to be from a small family, and their clothes were not as conspicuous as those of a large family.

Moreover, several people had a smell of dust on them.

Yuwen Lan could not help but take a few more glances.

At this moment, the young man said, "Mother, take a rest."

His accent didn't sound like he was from the capital.

After he finished speaking, he looked around and saw someone in the courtyard, so he pulled his mother to sit on a stone pier nearby.

The maid then took off the bag on her shoulder and took out a water bag from it. It looked like she was going to serve the two of them water. Unexpectedly, after taking out the water bag, she actually took out two bamboo cups from the bag.

Before pouring the water into the cup, she deliberately poured out some water and rinsed the cup before officially pouring the water into it and serving it to the mother and son.

This kind of posture...

Yuwen Lan raised his eyebrows. It seemed that they were not ordinary people.

Of course, there were few people in the courtyard at this time. In addition to him, others also paid attention to these people.

But the Queen Mother said, "Why does that woman look familiar? I seem to have seen her before."

Hearing this, Yan Shu also took a look and confirmed that she had not seen the mother and son before, based on her experience of attending palace banquets for more than half a year.

But indeed, judging from their behavior, they should not be ordinary people.

Just as she was about to ask the system, she saw that the young man looked around the courtyard and suddenly set his eyes on her idol, Mr. Qi. After a pause, he suddenly came forward and greeted her, saying, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Qi Shuguang?"

Huh?

Yan Shu was stunned. This young man actually knew her idol?

As soon as she finished speaking, her idol Mr. Qi also stood up and said, "I am Qi Shuguang. May I ask who you are?"

The young man suddenly became very excited and said, "I am Ren Kaiji from the Marquis of Yanping Mansion. Do you remember me, sir?"

Marquis of Yanping Mansion?

When this was said, several people in the hall were stunned for a moment. The maid Hongyu hurriedly whispered to the queen mother, "I remember that, that person seems to be the wife of the Marquis of Yanping." The queen mother

glanced at her and nodded, "I remember it too."

Yan Shu thought to herself that it was impossible. This child has already introduced himself as the Marquis of Yanping Mansion. That's his mother, so there is a 95% chance that she is the wife of the Marquis of Yanping.

However, listening to this name, the Marquis of Yanping Mansion is most likely in Minyue. Why did the mother and son come all the way to the capital?

Yuwen Lan was also surprised. Moreover, this person from the Marquis of Yanping Mansion actually knew Qi Shuguang?

But Qi Shuguang finally reacted and said hurriedly, "So it's the prince. Why are you here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man suddenly said with a sad face, "This is a long story... Sir, wait a moment, I will go to report to my mother."

Then he returned to his mother's side, and Qi Shuguang hurriedly followed.

And then, his mother also stood up and spoke to Qi Shuguang very excitedly.

Because they were a little far away, the few people in the pavilion could not hear clearly. They could only glimpse that the lady looked very excited and seemed to be about to cry.

But this made people more curious.

Fortunately, not long after, Qi Shuguang came back to the three people and reported, "Your Excellencies, I have been traveling to Minyue for a few years and was fortunate to be invited to the Marquis of Yanping's mansion to give lectures to the prince. I just saw the wife of the Marquis of Yanping and the prince come here."

After the voice fell, the Queen Mother asked, "Why did they suddenly come to Beijing?"

But Qi Shuguang said, "From what you two said, something unfair happened in your family. The Marquis of Yanping wanted to kill his son and his wife. You two had no choice but to come to the capital, and you wanted to ask the nobles to uphold justice."

What?

Killing his son and his wife?

When this was said, everyone was shocked.

Yuwen Lan ordered the guards, "Keep the gate open for now, and don't let anyone in."

Then he ordered Qi Shuguang, "Ask the mother and son to come forward and talk."

Everyone went their separate ways.

Soon, the gate was secured, and the mother and son from the Marquis of Yanping's mansion came to the pavilion with a look of surprise and knelt down to pay their respects.

"I, the wife of the Marquis of Yanping's mansion, Tao, and my son Kaiji, come to see Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, and Concubine Yi."

She was already crying as she spoke.

Before Yuwen Lan could say anything, the Queen Mother said, "Please stand up first. Why did you two come all the way to the capital? What happened?"

The wife of the Marquis of Yanping cried, "Thank you for your grace, Queen Mother. I came here without being summoned because something terrible happened at home. My mother and I are going to die! My husband was sick a while ago, so we asked someone to invite a Taoist priest to exorcise evil spirits. But the Taoist priest said that our son Kaiji was a disaster star, and my husband believed it. As soon as we opened the door, At first, he scolded his son all day long. When I wanted to stop him, he scolded me as well. Later, he even wanted to set fire to Kaiji. I had no choice but to lead Kaiji out of the mansion. But I asked for help along the way, and no one in Yanping dared to intervene. I had no choice but to come to the capital and ask the nobles to make a decision for me and Kaiji! "

After the voice fell, the queen mother frowned and said, "How could this be true?"

Everyone's eyes widened, and they were very unbelievable in their hearts.

- How could the Marquis of Yanping kill his son? And he was the legitimate son, the prince canonized by the court!

The mistress of the Marquis's mansion was forced to run to the capital to complain?

It's too absurd!

Yan Shu thought the same thing. Unbelievable, she had no choice but to check the system, [Everyone, is this true or false? ]

But the system said, "What the lady said is really not exaggerated. The Marquis of Yanping had a disease called "fire dragon wrapped around the waist" a while ago. This disease is difficult to cure. No one could cure him after looking for famous doctors. It happened that he heard that there was a famous Taoist priest, so he asked someone to invite him back. The

Taoist priest took a look and immediately said that there was an evil spirit in the house. He performed a ritual for him, and the Marquis of Yanping's disease got better. 】 【But as soon as the Taoist priest left, his disease recurred, and the pain was worse than before. The Marquis of Yanping had a concubine, who took the opportunity to bribe the Taoist priest and invited him back. Unexpectedly, this time the Taoist priest told the Marquis of Yanping that the evil spirit in the mansion was his legitimate son, meaning that he wanted the man to take the title of prince from the legitimate son and give it to the illegitimate son. 】

【Doesn't the Marquis of Yanping dislike his son? At first he beat and scolded him, and later he wanted to set fire to his son. How could the mother tolerate this? She took her son and ran away. But the Marquis of Yanping was very powerful at that time, and no one dared to control him. The mother and son had no choice but to come to the capital. Today is the Double Ninth Festival, and I wanted to come to worship the gods, but I didn't expect to meet your idol. It's also good luck to say that Qi Shuguang is honest, otherwise others may not believe it. 】

Her idol is indeed honest, but Yan Shu still couldn't believe it when she heard it, and said, 【Is the Marquis of Yanping an idiot? How could he believe such nonsense? 】

System,【On the one hand, this person may be a little stupid, and on the other hand, this disease is really uncomfortable. This Marquis of Yanping has been pampered for so many years, and he must not be able to bear the pain. It is hard to guarantee that he will not have wild thoughts and seek medical treatment in desperation. After all, the Taoist priest’s first treatment worked for him, and it is hard for him not to believe it.】

Yan Shu thought about it, and the "fire dragon wrapped around the waist" seemed to be the herpes zoster in later generations. This disease is indeed not easy to cure.

But why did the Taoist priest get better as soon as he exorcised the ghost?

The system made a sound,【Because this Taoist priest really knows medical skills.】

Yan Shu,【??? What, the Taoist priest knows medical skills? Since he is so powerful, why doesn’t he become a doctor and treat people properly? Why does he pretend to be a ghost?】

The system explained her doubts,【You can get more money by pretending to be a ghost like this! 】

Yan Shu was still puzzled, 【??? What does a monk want to do with so much money? Does he want to build a mansion and enjoy himself quietly?】

The system said. 【Then you are narrow-minded. This Taoist has great ambitions! By the way, this Taoist is an acquaintance of the Queen Mother.】

Yan Shu, 【??? An acquaintance of the Queen Mother? Who is it?】

System, 【It is the "White Crane Immortal" who helped the old emperor to cultivate immortality.】

Yan Shu's eyes widened, 【What??? It is the stinky Taoist who put medicine in the sleeping hall of Qianming Palace and made the emperor unable to do it?】

System, 【Yes, it is him.】

Hearing this, Yan Shu almost vomited blood, 【That swindler actually ran to Minyue? The emperor's people didn't find him? 】

As soon as the voice fell, Yuwen Lan beside him was also severely beaten.

Yes, he had heard from Yan Shu's inner voice just now that it was the White Crane Taoist who was causing trouble this time.

——Since he discovered the truth, he has been sending people to look for him, but unfortunately he has not found him. Who

would have thought that this person actually went to Yanping? Yan Shu was also confused at this time, but before she could ask the system, she heard the Queen Mother say, "How could the Marquis of Yanping be so foolish? He let a ghost play with him like this?"

But she saw the wife of the Marquis of Yanping nodded and cried, "I dare not deceive you. This Taoist has accumulated many believers in Minyue in recent years. Some people even built Taoist temples for him and worshipped him, making him look like a god."

"What?" The Queen

Mother frowned immediately.

For a moment, she couldn't help but think of that stupid man back then.

Yuwen Lan also frowned.

Has this White Crane Master already achieved such a level?

Why haven't his people discovered it?

Yan Shu also hurriedly asked the system, "What's going on? Isn't the emperor trying to catch this White Crane Master? How can this man still be so powerful? Didn't the Jinyiwei find out?"

But she heard the system say, "Because since he ran away from the palace, this man changed his name and is now called Yuan Chong Master. Not many Jinyiwei had seen him back then, so of course it was difficult to catch him."

It turned out that he changed his name.

Yan Shu was still puzzled, "What kind of tricks does this man have to have followers!" 】

But the system said, 【Doesn't this person know medicine? And his medical skills are quite advanced. He has made himself look like an old immortal in recent years, with long hair and a youthful face. Those rich people who have money and free time love to pursue immortality. Isn't it easy for him to fall? This Yuan Chong has been wandering around in Fujian and Yue in recent years, making a lot of money. In a few years, he has accepted many disciples and established a Taoist sect called "Baiyun Sect".】

Yan Shu still didn't understand, 【What did he want to do with all his money? Is it just to enjoy the pleasure of being worshipped?】

System, 【No, in fact, his real purpose is to support the rebellion of the Red Lotus Sect.】

Rebellion?

Yan Shu was shocked.

Damn, this Red Lotus Sect is no small trick.

This is a nightmare that has troubled every dynasty for hundreds and thousands of years!

No, this matter is getting bigger and bigger!

She has to tell the emperor quickly.
