Patriarch Xie read the letter, and when the emperor came to greet him at dawn, he reported the events of Qingfeng Town to him.
The emperor quickly asked the eunuch which inspector was in charge of Qingfeng Town. The eunuch replied, "It's Lord Gu, who's in charge of this autumn hunt. He's been here for years, so he's very familiar with the local customs and people, and that's why he's been given this important responsibility."
"Then summon Lord Gu over. I want to question him in person."
Patriarch Xie quickly spoke up, "Your Majesty, I've already sent people to Qingfeng Town to investigate. While the situation remains unclear, it's best not to alert the enemy."
The emperor knew he had something to say, so he dismissed the eunuchs and turned to the Xie family head and asked, "Does this Lord Gu have any connection?"
Patriarch Xie pondered, "Gu Miao is Lin Yulang's relative. His Majesty single-handedly promoted him out of Lin Yulang's favor."
Only after this was mentioned did the emperor remember the connection.
"Your Majesty has indulged them too much, so what they are doing now is becoming more and more excessive. I hope Your Majesty will reconsider." The head of the Xie family stood aside with his sleeves folded, his expression solemn, and his profile was as solid as jade.
The emperor was embarrassed and angry for a moment, and sat in his seat sulking, becoming more and more disappointed with Lin Yulang.
"I know that Your Majesty does not want the situation to turn out like this. When you valued Lin Yulang, you thought he was really as elegant and pure as he appeared. But now that his true face has been discovered, it is not too late to mend the situation." The head of the Xie family said earnestly.
The lingering rain was still falling in Qingfeng Town, with gray tiles and white walls. Xie Xuanzhao, holding a red umbrella, walked with Liu Qinglan along the bluestone alley towards the government office.
"Since the county magistrate dared to conceal the truth, it shows that he is not a good person. If we go there alone, it might be dangerous." Xie Xuanzhao stopped at the corner of the alley not far from the government office, looked at the door guarded by the yamen runners, and said thoughtfully.
Liu Qinglan was puzzled. "Sister Beauty is the Queen. Once her identity is revealed, it will be fine."
"Words are not enough, and we can't underestimate the local tyrant. But one of my maids should have gone there." Xie Xuanzhao turned around and looked at Liu Qinglan. "Now that things have come to this, it's okay to tell you. Did you know that Yan Mo has a sister?"
Liu Qinglan nodded and said as a matter of course: "I know."
"?" Xie Xuanzhao was surprised.
Liu Qinglan smiled and patted his chest proudly, "I'm a fairy, so of course I know a lot of things. Don't worry, beautiful sister, I haven't told anyone, but that peach blossom fairy also knows it."
Xie Xuanzhao's mind suddenly flashed with many thoughts. She wanted to ask the little goblin what "sneaky" things he had done using his status as a goblin, but it was not a good topic to ask in this situation. She could only hold it in for now and wait until she got back to bed to interrogate him in detail. So she asked, "Who else knows?"
Liu Qinglan counted his fingers carefully, spilling out everything like counting beans. "The Peach Blossom Demon has a lover in the palace, the beautiful cook Xiao Taoxi. Given their relationship, it's probably okay for her to tell you. Oh, and there's also a black egg. It was a ball of infant spirit that Yu Cainv and Lin Yulang had raised. They wanted to use the fake pregnancy to establish a crown prince, but it turned out to be a good spirit. It fell in love with my sister and turned into an egg!"
Xie Xuanzhao didn't expect that this question would yield so much information!
She looked at the little fairy Liu who was talking incessantly in front of her at her leisure, and the expression on her face became more and more unpredictable.
Liu Qinglan caught a glimpse of the Beauty Queen's expression and knew something was wrong. He seemed to have said too much, so he took a few steps back guiltily.
Xie Xuanzhao held the umbrella in one hand and blocked her between himself and the bluestone wall with the other. Raindrops fell from the edge of the umbrella along the ribs, splashed on the ground, and broke into small water droplets.
"It seems that your demon world is very rich and colorful, and there are so many interesting things in the palace. But why did you tell me about it today?"
Liu Qinglan's eyes turned, and she quickly thought of a solution, "Sister Beauty didn't ask me either."
"..." Xie Xuanzhao was refuted by this and thought to himself that it seemed so. "Then I won't bother with you about the past. From now on, you are not allowed to hide these things from me. Especially when you encounter problems, you must discuss them with me. Do you understand?"
Liu Qinglan nodded seriously and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, he didn't ask anything about spiritual energy.
Xie Xuanzhao let her go and stared at the yamen for a moment. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong, so he turned his head again, scaring the little fairy Liu who thought she had escaped by luck.
Xie Xuanzhao looked at her, clutching her chest in anger, and smiled, "It seems you're still hiding something from me. I'm waiting for you now, so just tell me the truth."
Liu Qinglan, driven by a strong desire to survive, suddenly had an idea and decided to sell the sharp-nosed snake. She scratched her ears timidly and whispered, "Actually, my Feifei's parents have already reincarnated. That old woman is not my biological mother."
As expected. Xie Xuanzhao frowned, "Can I just recognize my mother casually? You are too ridiculous."
"That's because the situation is critical. If I didn't say that, she would be driven away." Liu Qinglan said bluntly, "In fact, she is a sharp-nosed snake and a fairy. She has no bad intentions."
Xie Xuanzhao's expression remained calm, "I'm more worried about Yan Mo now."
At this moment, Yan Mo was in a state of extreme tension.
That day she was teaching Lulu how to paint when the old woman suddenly appeared on the carriage and looked at them with a surprised and sad expression.
Yan Mo slowly loosened her grip on Lu Lu's hand, her face filled with shock. "Old woman, you're back. Where are the Empress and your daughter?"
Jiang Wenwen was shocked by the scene of the two people holding hands just now. She couldn't recover for a long time and stared at Lulu.
Lulu felt that this person's eyes were full of hostility, and she hid behind Yan Mo timidly.
Jiang Wenwen was heartbroken upon seeing this. She covered her chest and looked at Yan Mo, who looked puzzled, and complained sadly, "You unfaithful woman!"
Hearing this, Lulu couldn't help but stick her head out to look at the beautiful and gentle Miss Yanmo, and then at the old woman with white hair and wrinkled face in front of her. She felt that the world had become so magical. She asked, "Are you two having an affair?!"
At that moment, Yan Mo wanted to suppress this chatterbox Lulu.
Jiang Wenwen nodded vigorously, "So why don't you withdraw quickly and stop interfering in other people's relationships."
Lulu covered her mouth in shock and exclaimed, "Wow!" It turns out that this world is really so magical.
Yan Mo held her forehead with a headache. What a mess! She was about to say something when Lu Lu quickly retreated with a puzzled expression, leaving the carriage to them.
Jiang Wenwen sat on the ground, wiping her tears with a handkerchief. "I'm going to ignore you, hum."
Yan Mo: ...
She could only roll up the blueprint on the table, pack up her writing brush and ink, and put them all in the box. She said thoughtfully, "Old woman, I think there's some misunderstanding here."
"Then this is not a reason for you to secretly raise this little beauty." Jiang Wenwen looked at her secretly.
Yanmo thought this must be a romantic debt caused by her sister, but how did she offend such an old man? This world is really magical.
While waiting for the return of the Queen and Concubine Yue, Yan Mo could only endure humiliation and try to survive between Lulu's indescribable expression and the old woman's willful entanglement.
After Xie Xuanzhao finished worrying about her maid, she still felt something was amiss. She pondered, recalling the first day she'd met Liu Qinglan, her subsequent obsession with her, her secret drinking of her water, her meticulous attempts to steal her personal belongings, and her unprovoked fawning. She'd previously assumed this beautiful woman had fallen in love with her at first sight and was deliberately teasing her.
Now that I think about it, with the Willow Fairy's understanding, she shouldn't be able to understand things so early.
So, why was she approaching him? There must be something fishy going on.
Xie Xuanzhao thought as he stared at the beautiful girl beside him with an unpredictable gaze. Liu Qinglan, bathed in the unpredictable gaze of the Beauty Queen, touched her ears and the tip of her nose nervously, feeling guilty and afraid to look at her anymore.
Xie Xuanzhao thought to himself, "I'll interrogate you properly once we're in bed," and said calmly, "I suddenly miss the days when we first met."
"Why...why?" Liu Qinglan thought carefully, it was just his own history of suffering, there was really nothing good to recall. He could still vaguely feel the pain from the hit on his calf by Grandma Gao!
"Why? You should know better than me." Xie Xuanzhao narrowed his eyes, his narrow eyes long and narrow, and looked at her with a smile.
Liu Qinglan immediately questioned herself, reflected deeply for a moment, and then resolutely changed the subject, "Beautiful sister, I suddenly thought of a way to bluff!"
Xie Xuanzhao paused, "What?"
"We're outnumbered now, but just waiting isn't a solution. We might as well form a team and storm the government office with a bang!"
Xie Xuanzhao was surprised, "How did they conjure up a team?"
"It's easy. Just summon the insects and ants. I can transform them into human form, but they have no thoughts and only have the appearance. They can only follow us and pretend to be human. There is nothing more." Liu Qinglan said, and turned into a paper man.
Xie Xuanzhao looked at the lifelike human figure in front of him. Although he always maintained a rigid expression and could not speak, it was enough to support the scene.
So she nodded appreciatively, "This is a very good idea, Qinglan, please conjure up a few more, and then we can go into the government office."
"Okay." Liu Qinglan used his magic power and in just a short while, he created a team of palace guards ready to go.
So the two of them led this neat and orderly team to the yamen.
The yamen runner was so frightened by this scene that his legs went weak. He was about to go in and report immediately, but he saw a stranger walking out.
The author has something to say: Beauty Queen: It seems like I discovered something extraordinary.
Willow Fairy: No... no, I really love you. What spiritual energy? That's all just empty talk~~~
The beautiful queen smiled and said: It’s okay.
Xiao Liu cried with emotion: Meow~ I knew that the beauty queen is the best!
Queen: Don't worry, I will take back as much spiritual energy as you have taken from me. So, you should quickly calculate how much you have taken from me.
Xiao Liu is paralyzed. I'm afraid this debt can never be repaid-_-||
