Chapter 010: Too Courageous
After returning to the princess's mansion, Qin Zhaoyue quickly ordered desserts and iced drinks, and immediately felt much better.
At this time, Qingfeng came to the classroom to report that the drugstore had been sold and the owner and his servants had all disappeared.
"And then? Nothing?"
Although it was to cover up the drugging, Qin Zhaoyue really wanted to know who was behind it so that he could be prepared in the future.
Qingfeng said bitterly: "I am incompetent and not good at investigating cases."
"Don't you have two? Where's the other one?"
Qin Zhaoyue remembered that she had two secret guards around her, and they were the Qilin Guards given to her by her mother when she came of age.
"Xiyu is not good at it either. We can try to sneak into the Duke's Mansion."
Qingfeng didn't even dare to raise his head. They were good at protection and assassination, but investigating cases was not their strong point.
The other party had already dealt with both ends, and without intelligence support, the two of them would have had no way to start.
Qin Zhaoyue sighed. It was obvious that Zheng Huiyin, that idiot, was being pushed to the front to take the blame. It would probably be a waste of time to investigate.
There are only two good people around me. If they get lost again, it will be more trouble than gain.
She waved her hand and said, "Forget it, what about Jiangxue's family?"
"After identifying the pharmacy, the family of four was locked up in the woodshed."
"Why keep it? Deal with it."
Qingfeng was silent. How should he deal with this? He had never done this before and didn't know where the princess's limits were.
"This...Jiang Xue was killed, and her parents and brothers were thrown on the farm?"
Tsk, Qin Zhaoyue curled his lips. Is this secret guard stupid? How could he be so ignorant?
"Why throw her on the farm? Give her brother a chance to grow up with hatred and practice peerless martial arts? And then come back as a king and kill me?"
The younger sister died tragically at the hands of the violent princess, and she was sent to a farm where she had no food to eat, no warm clothes to wear, and had to endure humiliation and live a miserable life. Isn't this a typical dilemma for the protagonist?
Uh... Qingfeng wanted to say how is that possible, martial arts must be learned from childhood. Jiangxue's brother is already twenty years old, his muscles and bones have already been shaped, where can he learn peerless martial arts?
"Your Highness, I mean to throw it on the farm. As long as we give some hints, those farmers will understand.
It won't damage the princess's reputation, and it will be handled cleanly without giving rise to gossip."
Qin Zhaoyue waved her hand and said, "What good reputation does this princess have? Don't bother me, just kill her directly.
You don't need to make it public, but you can quietly let the news out in your house, do you understand?"
"clear!"
There were many servants who took advantage of the princess's title and acted cunningly. It seems that this is to make an example of them.
Qingfeng agreed and went out to do his work immediately.
Killing someone to silence them is easy, that's his job, but how to leak the news in a calm and reasonable way? He needs to discuss this with Xiyu.
Qin Zhaoyue drank an ice drink with a very calm expression.
He is a traitor to his master. He is willing to ruin his master's innocence for a mere fifty taels. What's the point of keeping such a servant?
Since she had done it, she had to be prepared to be punished as well. She had no psychological burden at all.
Feeling relaxed both physically and mentally, Qin Zhaoyue called the manager again and told them to prepare the account books and use an abacus to check the accounts tomorrow.
There are still some industries under the name of the princess's mansion, including farms and shops, but the original body didn't care about those at all and couldn't find many memories.
If you want to get away with it completely, you can't just wait for the reward from heaven. The key is to have money yourself.
She traveled through time and space, had a high status, capital, and could easily make money.
With the help of personal maids, you can bathe, dress and wash yourself without having to do anything yourself.
This damn feudal society! It smells so good...
Lying alone in bed, closing my eyes and communicating with my consciousness, the book of merits appeared in my mind.
"Hey, didn't you say there was a bound gift? Where is it? Quickly take out my peerless martial arts!"
After waiting for a long time, this crappy golden finger didn't respond at all, bullshit!
The explanation is the sentence on the title page, but didn’t she suggest raising money for the disaster area? Why hasn’t her merit changed at all? Does she have to wait until the matter is settled?
Forget it, this thing doesn’t seem very reliable.
When the disaster relief work is done, she'll have some credit, right? Then asking the Queen Mother for a few Blue Luan Guards shouldn't be a problem.
On the first day of the journey, he adapted perfectly, solved the biggest hidden danger at the beginning, and had a noble status and no worries about food and drink.
Although there are some minor flaws, the merits outweigh the flaws, and Qin Zhaoyue is still very satisfied.
In the hot summer, even at night, the evening breeze still brings a sense of dryness.
Although the ancients did not have air conditioning, their wisdom made up for the shortcomings of technology, especially for those who were both wealthy and prestigious.
The bed was made of golden nanmu wood, with three layers of shark silk curtains hanging above it:
The outer layer is Yuehua Lian woven from plain gauze, the middle layer is Hanyan Luo made from heavenly silk, and the innermost layer is Ningbi Shade woven from ice silk and peacock feathers.
Gilded dragons are coiled at the four corners of the bedposts, their claws tightly clasping a jade ball carved from a whole piece of Hetian green jade. The hollow ball is filled with mint crumbs.
The bed was covered with seven layers of cushions: a brocade mattress filled with Tianshan ice velvet, a jade mat infused with agarwood shavings, a mermaid pearl quilt woven with peacock feathers, and an ice silk blanket embroidered with eight hundred South Sea pearls in the shape of a star pattern...
It is covered with an exquisite mat made of whole pieces of green jade, and the quilt is made of plain gauze with gold embroidery. The snow wave patterns outlined by gold thread rise and fall with breathing.
There was not even a bit of warmth lying on it. Qin Zhaoyue couldn't even dream of living like this. With this quality of life, he couldn't even get by working for two hundred years.
He closed his eyes contentedly, an uncontrollable smile appearing on the corners of his mouth.
After a busy and tiring day, I'm really feeling sleepy now.
His eyes suddenly opened and his face was grim and ferocious.
She stretched out her jade arm and shook it for a while. A seven-treasure garland curtain made of red chalcedony and lapis lazuli beads hung from the edge of the bed. When touched, it made a crisp sound like a clear spring hitting stone.
Immediately, hurried footsteps were heard from outside. It was Tao Yao, the personal maid on duty at night.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
"Give me a softer pillow."
"ah?"
"Ah, what? A soft pillow, understand?"
Tao Yao was dumbfounded and hesitated for a few moments before agreeing and quickly ran out.
Qin Zhaoyue had a sour expression on her face. She didn't know how the other people who traveled through time could fall asleep.
She was using a whole piece of cold jade pillow as a pillow. After lying there for a while, she felt like her head was about to collapse!
After a while, two personal maids found a lot of cushions.
Qin Zhaoyue carefully selected the one with suitable height and softness before giving up.
I lay down again. Eh~~~I feel much more comfortable this time. I don’t have to worry about my head getting bruised. Let’s go to sleep!
Bang bang bang!
Qin Zhaoyue was in a daze and heard a series of clanging and banging noises outside.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, something's wrong..."
The silly maid Tao Yao rushed in and spoke out classic lines that were meant to make her die.
Qin Zhaoyue tried hard to open his eyes, but his eyeballs moved around and he just couldn't see the outside world.
Huh… Huh…
"Your Highness!"
"I'm not asleep!" Okay, now his eyes finally opened. "What's going on?"
"There's a fight outside."
"Who is it? Brother Zicheng has come into the city?"
Taoyao:?
She was so anxious that her round face was covered with sweat. "Someone rushed in, and our secret guards are fighting with them."
Qin Zhaoyue was now completely awake. She could still distinguish between sleepiness and her life.
Could it be that the mastermind behind her scheme has revealed himself? Is her plan going to end in death if it fails?
Her eyes darkened. This shouldn't be the case. How could a useless and powerless Sixth Princess be worth assassinating?
"Go, escape through the back window."
Qin Zhaoyue made a prompt decision. She was not favored by her mother, and the only two people in the mansion who could be considered masters were Qingfeng and Xiyu.
At this time, the flashing of swords and the sound of sabers outside at least showed that the two of them had not formed a crushing momentum. If they didn't leave now, when would they leave?
The maid protected her and ran straight to the back window, but just as she was about to show her head, she saw a black shadow flash by.
Taoyao was still very loyal. After being stunned for a moment, he immediately used his body to block the princess.
Qin Zhaoyue was also startled, but when he looked closely, he saw that the other party was just standing outside the window and did not take any action.
And the mask covering her face looked quite familiar. It was exactly the same as the one worn by the Qingluan Guard who escorted her to the Prime Minister's residence yesterday.
"Are you the Qingluan Guard? Sent by His Majesty to protect me?"
The first thing Qin Zhaoyue thought of was that her mother also suspected that there was a mastermind behind the incident, and she silently sent her personal guards to secretly protect her safety.
I never expected that, she usually dislikes everything, but when her daughter is in danger, she is still very worried. This is the glory of motherhood!
Broken Ink: ...
"No, I was ordered to take His Highness to the morning court."
Qin Zhaoyue: What the hell?
Soon, the fighting in the yard stopped.
Inside the bedroom, Qin Zhaoyue was dressed, with maids and secret guards standing on her left and right, and she was facing four heroic Qingluan guards.
She was shaking her legs unhappily, without any royal dignity, but anyone could see that she was in a irritable mood.
Nonsense, how can I not be irritable? I was woken up before dawn, and I'm not allowed to be a little irritable?
Three o'clock in the morning, three o'clock! Are they devils?
"So, you Qingluan Guards broke into my mansion, and the secret guards mistook you for assassins and beat you up?"
"yes."
"Hey, you're so shameless and say 'yes' to me. Are you crazy? You're jumping over the wall instead of sleeping, right?"
The leading Qingluan Guard felt a little guilty, his eyes evasive, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "His Majesty has ordered that His Highness be bound and brought to the morning court."
Qin Zhaoyue:!
It's poisonous, right? There are so many talented officials, why would they need a useless princess like her?
Qin Zhaoyue fell down instantly. The sleepiness came so violently that his eyelids began to droop as soon as they touched the pillow.
"Stop it... or all your monthly salary for this year will be deducted."
The sword was unsheathed with a clang, and two secret guards stood in front of the bed. Even the maids were united in their hatred of the enemy.
The princess was definitely not threatening me. She really meant deducting my monthly salary.
Looking at the four vigilant people in front of him, Qingluanwei had a headache.
Especially the two people who missed the escort mission yesterday, who also wondered why the captain didn't knock on the door before entering the house and had to climb over the wall. She didn't expect that she would be such a Sixth Princess.
His Majesty has given an oral order, so can I just not go?
The leading captain of the Qingluan Guard, Sui Mo, sighed. She knew that this was not an easy task.
"Your Highness, His Majesty has said that those who do not attend court will be exiled to the frontier."
Qin Zhaoyue leaned his body inside twice and covered his head with the fur blanket.
Even after traveling back to the princess's body, she still has to go to work, and even before dawn?
No way! There's no way I can even get into this crappy class.
Just be exiled, and pack your bags when you wake up.
Qingluan Guard: ...
What should I do? This person is too bold, openly defying the order.
Unfortunately, this person was of noble status, so they couldn't use force. The three people behind him could only look at Sui Mo helplessly.
Sui Mo really sighed this time, thinking that it was impossible to persuade him.
"You two, are you really going to stop me?"
Qingfeng and Xiyu's faces turned green. They were from the palace guards, the Qilin Guard.
The Qingluan Guard is in charge of the inner imperial city, and the Qilin Guard is in charge of the outer imperial city. To be honest, they were all old colleagues.
However, from the masks covering their faces, it can be seen that the leader is still a centurion with an official position, and his official rank was much higher than theirs.
Even so, the two did not give way.
From the moment they left the Qilin Guard, they had only one master.
Forget about the Qingluan Guards. If the princess orders us to do so, we will have to brave the sword and the sea!
"Give up, we will never give in."
"All right……"
Sui Mo handed his sword to the men behind him and immediately began to unbutton his clothes.
“You…what are you going to do!?”
