After Yan Shiyue returned home, the shadow guard came to report and brought two kinds of incense and an ointment.
Yan Shiyue opened them and smelled them one by one, none of them were what she wanted...especially the ointment, which had an indescribable smell.
Yan Shiyue dry-retched a few times: "Alright, alright, take it off quickly! Ugh!" She ran to wash her hands frantically.
After washing a few times, she felt a warmth behind her. Huo Qijing hugged her from behind and held her hand: "I'll wash you."
She wanted to pull her hand away, but he held it tightly, carefully rubbing the palm and back of her hand, and asked, "What's wrong?"
She said, "I can't explain it, but I just feel something is wrong. I smelled the same smell of medicine on Ku Bing and Xiao Guan. Why do you think this is? It's impossible that Ku Bing is also working as a Xiao Guan part-time?"
Huo Qijing nodded and didn't ask any more questions. After washing, he pulled her around and held her in his arms: "Okay, it's clean now."
She still felt a little uneasy, so she pouted her lips, put her arms around his waist, and rubbed it hard.
Huo Qijing's eyes soon became strange after being rubbed by her, and he kissed her: "Ayue, go to sleep."
The next day, after the morning court session, the Minister of War stopped her. She had never met him before, and only knew his last name was Zhou. So she asked, "What's the matter, Lord Zhou?"
...
...
Minister Zhou smiled and said, "Prime Minister, can you please spare me a moment to talk?"
It must be another matchmaker. Yan Shiyue was very troubled, but it was not easy to refuse, so she stood still and listened to him. But this Minister Zhou talked a lot and showed off his knowledge. She urged him for a long time before he got to the point and said that his sister admired Xu Wenqu? ?
Yan Shiyue said speechlessly: "If it's Mr. Xu's business, then go find Mr. Xu! Why are you looking for me?"
Minister Zhou said with a smile: "Master Xu has been staying at your house for a while, so I..."
Yan Shiyue waved her hand and said, "Mr. Xu is my elder. I can't interfere in his affairs. You should go find him." She wanted to leave.
"Prime Minister, Prime Minister!" Minister Zhou smiled and stopped her. "I didn't dare to disturb you, Prime Minister. It's because my sister, ever since she saw Xu Zhuangyuan riding a horse and parading in the streets that day, has been a little... ahem, she can't forget him. I don't dare to say this, I just hope to make my sister's wish come true. But I can't communicate with Lord Xu. Can you please put me in touch with him, Prime Minister? I just want us to sit together and chat for a few words..."
Yan Shiyue said seriously: "Master Zhou, look at me."
Minister Zhou was stunned, not daring to look directly at him, and only smiled and said, "What does the Prime Minister mean?"
Yan Shiyue said, "Do you think I am a matchmaker? Or someone who likes to meddle in other people's business? I really don't mean to sound harsh. Mr. Xu is an adult. Why should I get involved in something he doesn't like? I don't know your sister, and I'm not familiar with Mr. Zhou. What do you mean by obsession? To put it bluntly, isn't it just wishful thinking? I'm going to embarrass my husband for your wishes. Do I look so confused?"
She didn't wait for him to say anything else, and just bowed: "Excuse me."
Minister Zhou said anxiously, "Yes, yes." He bowed and gestured to the attendants beside him.
Yan Shiyue entered the Ministry of Revenue. Not long after, someone came in hurriedly to report: "Prime Minister! The third son of the Yan family and the second son of the Gui family had a fight with someone in the Imperial College and were injured!"
"What?"
Yan Shiyue was startled, and walked out with big strides, asking: "Where is it? Is it serious?"
"They said he was sent back to the Duke's Mansion! Mr. Su is treating him!"
Yan Shiyue nodded, quickly got on the horse, and rushed back home.
Su Ji had already bandaged the two men. When he saw her come in, he said, "They are not serious, just superficial injuries. It's just that Yan Sanlang's injury is on his head, which is more scary."
Yan Shiyue nodded, went over to turn Yan Shitu's head to take a look, and was about to look at Huo Qiyang when Yan Shitu grabbed her arm.
He said with a sad face: "Yuer! I've had enough! I don't want to stay in the Imperial College anymore! I'm not cut out for it! Can you see anyone my age still studying in the Imperial College? I don't want to study anymore! I want to learn martial arts! I want to learn martial arts from A Jing! And join the Yulin Army!"
Yan Shiyue patted his shoulder helplessly.
In the Yan family, Yan Chengyuan is the commander of the imperial guards, Yan Shiwei is the commander of the border guards, and now Huo Qijing is the commander of the Yulin Army... Logically speaking, no one can take the path of a military officer anymore.
Although it might be possible to do it by asking Emperor Mingyan, it would definitely attract attention and Emperor Mingyan would be in a difficult position.
And Yan Shitu has a childish temper...
Yan Shiyue suddenly had an idea: "Third brother, how about this, if you don't like studying, you can go to the Dali Temple or the Ministry of Justice! Become a Dali Zheng or something, run errands for others, investigate cases, and try cases, isn't it interesting?"
Yan Shitu was stunned: "Investigate the case?"
She nodded, broke away and went to look at Huo Qiyang.
Huo Qiyang sat cross-legged on the couch, remaining silent until she came over. Then he said, "Sister, I think something is wrong."
"What's wrong?"
Huo Qiyang said, "That Wen Cheng is usually a low-key and introverted person who treats people kindly. Although I didn't see why he and the third brother quarreled, when I went over, I saw that his words were merciless. It didn't seem like an ordinary quarrel. I always felt that he was deliberately provoking me, and his attack was heavy. Moreover, he hit me and refused to give in. This is unreasonable."
Yan Shiyue asked: "Wen Cheng?"
"Yes," Huo Qiyang said, "He seems to be... the nephew of Elder Lin's wife."
"Lin Fujian?"
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard someone outside report that Madam Lin had arrived.
Yan Shiyue frowned slightly, motioned Huo Qiyang to ask her stupid brother in detail, and then came out.
Wen brought a young man with him, who also had a bruised face and nose, and looked much more serious than Huo Qiyang and the others. As soon as he came in, he apologized repeatedly, saying, "Cheng'er, why don't you apologize to His Highness!"
The young man came over and wanted to kneel down.
Yan Shiyue raised her hand to block it: "No need."
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong; when a person is abnormal, there must be something wrong. It is obvious that this young man is not a reckless person. There is no emotion on his face at this moment, and he does not look like someone who has fought impulsively.
She said to the young man, "I ask questions, you answer, don't lie."
The young man glanced at Wen, but he was not flustered, and said, "Your Highness, please speak."
She said, "Look up and look me in the eyes."
The boy hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised his eyes.
Yan Shiyue looked at him and asked directly: "Who told you to do this?"
The young man was startled.
He was panicked for a moment, then quickly came to his senses and said, "No, no one ordered me to do it. It was Yan Shitu..."
Yan Shiyue interrupted him directly: "Okay, I don't have anything else to ask. Please go in."
Wen and the young man looked at each other in panic.
Yan Shiyue didn't give them another chance to speak, and just turned around and left.
In fact, she was just deceiving him, but his reaction told her that there was indeed someone behind it!
And Wen's reaction also told her that she knew about this matter.
In other words, the young Wen Cheng beat someone up, and then the Wen family brought him to the door to apologize. This was a series of events, so there was no need to guess who instigated it, it must have been Lin Fujian.
But, she still didn't know why! Why did they suddenly want to deal with her?
