After that, the maid added, "The Queen said that the Crown Prince's Consort's flying dance is very much her favorite. If the Crown Prince's Consort is free, please visit the Queen more often."
The Queen's words seemed to hint to Qin Wu that she knew something, but she didn't say it explicitly, and she even gave her a piece of information.
Asking her to go to the Queen's palace to sit down was an intentional test.
It is not easy for the queen to sit in this position.
The Queen Mother suspected that she was the one who did it, but she had no evidence. As long as she didn't admit it, she wouldn't be able to use her against her.
Qin Wu said calmly, "Thank you, Queen, for telling me this news. Everyone finally knows that the Crown Prince and Miss Qin were innocently murdered."
"Tell the Queen on my behalf that I will visit her when I am free these days to thank her for saving face for the Crown Prince."
The maid nodded slightly and left.
Qin Wu stood there for a moment, then pulled her fox fur cloak together and headed towards the Astrology Palace where the Imperial Master lived.
When the astrologer maid saw Qin Wu, she immediately recognized her.
...
...
"Miss Qin, our national teacher is currently in the Astrology Tower predicting the fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty next year. It will probably take another half an hour. Please sit down for a while..."
"Yeah." Qin Wu didn't want to see the Imperial Master, although she wanted to give the silver note directly to the maid to hand it over to the Imperial Master.
But if she were to transfer money on someone else's behalf, and the other party refused to pay and said they had not received it, she would have to pay back 500,000 silver notes. Where could she go to seek justice?
So, just give it to him in person.
Qin Wu had just picked up the tea and took a sip when a man wearing a moon-colored robe with wide sleeves and looking like an immortal and banished god walked in.
A gust of cold wind blew in from the corner of her robe, and Qin Wu shivered with cold.
"Greetings, Mr. Imperial Master." Qin Wu immediately stood up and greeted him politely.
Didn’t he say he was busy and we had to wait for half an hour?
"What do you want from me?" The man stood in front of her with his hands behind his back. His voice was low and magnetic, but it revealed an invisible sense of oppression.
Qin Wu lowered her head and responded obediently, "Thank you, Master, for lending me 500,000 silver notes."
Qin Wu took out the banknote from her bosom and handed it to him, "I don't need this banknote of 500,000 yuan, please take it back, Imperial Master."
After waiting for a long time without seeing any response from the Imperial Master, and he did not take the banknote from her hand, she looked up at him in confusion.
The Imperial Master was close to her, and the cool sandalwood scent from his body wafted faintly around her nose.
He was wearing a mask, so his face could not be seen. Only his eyes were as deep as an abyss. If one fell into them, one would be completely submerged.
"Master Imperial Master, I know that I have failed you and am a little ungrateful.
But I have already paid the Qin family the 500,000 yuan for the severance of the relationship, so there is no need for you, Mr. Imperial Master, to worry about it. ”
Qin Wu wanted to stay away from this man and not have anything to do with him. He made her feel uneasy and fearful.
Finally, the national teacher said calmly, "I just divined the stars and found that there will be a snowstorm near the end of the year, and the people will suffer a severe winter crisis."
"You will be the lucky star that resolves this snowstorm."
"Huh?" Qin Wu's face was puzzled.
What lucky star?
First it was the Queen Mother’s lucky star, and now it’s the lucky star that resolves the snow disaster?
What's the meaning?
No, in the previous life, he said that she was a disaster!
The Imperial Master added calmly, "This 500,000 taels is the subsidy I applied to the Emperor for to alleviate the natural disaster."
"The Emperor has also agreed to let you take over this matter."
"Now that the money is in your hands, you can make good use of it. You don't need to return it to the emperor."
Qin Wu, "..."
It turns out that the national teacher had this idea in mind, he wanted to trick her!
What kind of lucky star is this for the snow disaster? Haha, they just want her to spend money and effort on disaster relief and tire her to death.
What a vicious mind.
And everyone knows that when working for the royal family, one must be careful and cautious. If things are not done well, the person will be punished at the very least, or even lose his life at the worst.
These five hundred thousand are really money to buy life!
What if he somehow interferes and wants her dead? She won't even have the chance to fight back, right?
Millions of ways to refuse had already emerged in Qin Wu's mind.
"Master Imperial Master, I am a woman with such an important mission..."
Before she could finish, the Imperial Master interrupted her refusal and said, "You don't need to do anything. Just stay by my side. When I need you to pay, you can pay."
Qin Wu, "..."
If it was that simple, why call her? Couldn't any of his maids dare to do this?
So, if the disaster relief exceeds 500,000 taels, does she have to subsidize it?
In a while, it will indeed snow heavily, blocking the roads and causing a shortage of supplies.
Once there is a shortage of supplies, prices will skyrocket.
In her previous life, she established a Chamber of Commerce. Although she made a lot of money during that period, the subsequent supply was insufficient and almost destroyed the foundation of the Chamber of Commerce.
So when she was reborn, she had already instructed Gong Shang to stock up on various daily necessities.
Originally, the 500,000 yuan was to be used to invest in the store owners to stockpile goods.
But there was no other way. In order to sever her relationship with the Qin family, she had to move out the 500,000 first.
Now the national teacher said that 500,000 will be used for disaster relief. Doesn't disaster relief require all kinds of daily necessities to prevent people from freezing to death or starving to death?
Then she could use it to store food now, and then she could just have someone deliver it to her at the purchase price, and she wouldn't lose money at all.
In the end, Qin Wu accepted the task of the national teacher.
She knew very well that it was useless to make excuses, so there was no need to waste her breath.
Even if the Imperial Master wanted to harm her, it wouldn't be that easy.
At the palace gate, Yan Shiyi was dressed in black, and his androgynous handsome face was very eye-catching. He stood beside the carriage, waiting for Qin Wu to come out.
"Why are you here?"
"Sister, aren't you going to Prime Minister Qin's residence? I'll take you there."
"Okay." Qin Wu did not refuse.
Yan Shiyi got on the carriage first, then stretched out a hand in front of Qin Wu.
Qin Wu almost subconsciously placed her hand on his palm.
Only then did I notice that he was wearing a string of sandalwood beads on his bony wrists, which made his hands look even whiter and more beautiful.
In the moment of distraction, Qin Wu's body lightened and she was pulled into the carriage by Yan Shiyi.
He was a little unsteady on his feet, so Qin Wu immediately grabbed his collar.
He half leaned forward, and Qin Wu met his deep phoenix eyes. The cool sandalwood scent coming from his body disturbed her mind.
Qin Wu hurriedly let go of his clothes and immediately got into the carriage, keeping a distance from him.
Yan Shiyi didn't react much. He sat in front of the carriage and called out to Qin Wu inside, "Sister, sit tight. I'll take you to Prime Minister Qin's residence."
At the same time, Qin Xianggang took the palace maid who was caught by the Queen and drugged Qin Yinnuan and Qi Xiuzhe to the prefect for interrogation.
After all, only by letting the prefect try the case and letting the people listen in can the damage to Qin Yinnuan and Qi Xiuzhe's reputation be minimized.
However, just as Prime Minister Qin and his men arrived at the prefectural governor's gate, a group of refugees suddenly jumped out and caused trouble, blocking his way.
At the same time, the palace maid who was being escorted by the guards groaned, and before anyone could react, a flying knife pierced the palace maid's chest, and she fell to the ground and died.
