Chapter 157: Fake Fall and Knock Down the Marquis
Su Qianqian went to see the big rooster, which was hiding next to the emperor with a trembling look.
[You little beast, how dare you stab me in the back? Believe it or not, I will take you away again, imprison you for life, find you a group of hens, and let you reproduce until you die of exhaustion! 】
Su Qianqian threatened fiercely in her heart, but on her face she looked terrified and aggrieved:
"I am terrified! Perhaps it is because of my ugly face that I frightened the emperor's golden pheasant. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I dare not ask for any reward. I am happy to serve the emperor. It doesn't matter if you don't give me any..."
Emperor Gan De squinted his eyes at the little woman, who was extremely beautiful but had a deep mind, and looked simple and honest, pretending to be a pig but actually eating the tiger.
However, the actions of the Wuning Marquis Mansion have been quite to his liking recently, and it has been quite convenient for him to use them. Those shops have earned him more than ten thousand taels of silver, which is the good reputation of a wise ruler. Even if the golden pheasant was caused by this little woman, it is not a big deal.
"Madam Wuning, don't worry. I was just joking. The reward is my promise, and I will not go back on my word."
The emperor waved his hand, and the chief eunuch beside him immediately ordered someone to bring a tray of gold ingots, the golden ingots were so dazzling that they blinded people's eyes.
"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace!" Su Qianqian hurriedly kowtowed to express her gratitude, and also thanked the Empress. Finally, she smiled and winked at the big rooster, and left the palace with a humbly look on her face.
Unexpectedly, Qin Hanzhang was waiting outside the palace gate again. Seeing Su Qianqian looking triumphant again, with the eunuch carrying gold following behind her, the corners of his lips raised unconsciously.
After getting on the carriage, Qin Hanzhang asked about what happened in the palace. Su Qianqian only talked about the important things and explained that she had found a big rooster and the emperor rewarded her with a thousand taels of gold.
Qin Hanzhang naturally knew that the rooster was stolen and sent back by Su Qianqian. Although he didn't know how she did it, he felt amused and proud in his heart: there are probably not many people in Da Qi who can play tricks under the emperor's nose.
As the two were talking, they had already reached the alley entrance of Wuning Marquis's residence. Suddenly, the driver hurriedly pulled the reins, and the guards shouted, "Who are you?"
A child's voice came: "Master, someone asked me to deliver a letter. I want the person in the carriage to open it personally."
Qin Hanzhang lifted the curtain and saw a little beggar lying in front of the carriage, holding a letter tightly in his hand.
"Give it here." Qin Hanzhang stretched out his hand.
The guard took the letter from the little beggar, but the little beggar did not get up and leave. Instead, he stared at Qin Hanzhang until he saw him tear open the wax seal and unfold the letter paper. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and run away.
A guard then followed quietly.
"My lord, this letter..." Qin Shisan outside the carriage looked at Qin Hanzhang worriedly.
Su Qianqian had already tested it with the poison-testing talisman. If it was poisonous, she would probably be standing under the car now.
"It's okay." Qin Hanzhang lowered the car curtain. There were only a few words on the letter, but he could see them clearly: A burial place for 30,000 wronged souls, and a piece of pure land that has broken the Zhoutian circle.
Su Qianqian sat on the side and couldn't see what was written on the paper. Driven by curiosity, she wondered how she could find out the content without revealing any flaws.
Just then the carriage started again, and the carriage shook slightly. Su Qianqian felt that the opportunity had come, so she rushed towards Qin Hanzhang, shouting, "Oh..."
She got what she wanted and pounced on the letter paper in Qin Hanzhang's hand, and also knocked Qin Hanzhang down. She was caught off guard and embraced the soft and warm body in her arms, making him half lean on the seat. He stretched out his hands to protect Su Qianqian, his mind was blank, and he didn't know what to do.
At this time, Su Qianqian was only concerned with taking the opportunity to read the words on the paper, and did not notice that the place where she was lying was quietly changing. When she got up contentedly, she saw Qin Hanzhang's strange posture and strange expression.
"I'm so sorry, my Lord. I didn't sit still for a moment. Are you okay?"
Su Qianqian quickly put on a flattering expression to cover up her exaggerated fake fall.
"It's okay." Qin Hanzhang calmed himself down, sat up, and stretched his robe forward to prevent it from sticking to his body and revealing his whereabouts. Still feeling uneasy, he simply crossed his legs.
[Hey, I've never seen him sitting in such an unruly posture. It's true that he was dazzled by the flowers and learned bad things after returning to Xijing! 】
Su Qianqian made a judgment in her heart, but she didn't notice that a red cloud was rising from Qin Hanzhang's ears, and his Adam's apple was quietly rolling...
After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Su Qianqian took a sedan chair to enter Tinglan Courtyard, but Qin Hanzhang fled all the way to his own study and took a cold bath in the bathroom for half a day...
Su Qianqian changed her clothes and went into her own small study. She wrote down the sentence and quietly pondered what it meant. If this was a novel written by her mother, this poem must contain a mystery.
[Thirty thousand wronged souls. Nine years ago, the old Marquis Wuning led thirty thousand soldiers and was massacred by the Daliang people. Do the thirty thousand wronged souls mean that they had grievances, or that they were wrongly killed by the old Marquis Wuning?
The burial place is where the old Marquis Wuning died in battle.
And this piece of pure land should refer to the temple, breaking the Zhoutian... Could it be breaking the sky of the Great Zhou? No, no... How could there be a temple in the place where the old Marquis Wuning died in battle...】
Su Qianqian bit the tip of her pen and thought hard. Before she knew it, it was getting dark. When she thought she had come up with some idea, the lady had already asked the nanny to call her over for dinner.
She told the old lady and several old ladies what happened in the palace. Although they were not good at the tricks of the women in the harem, they also understood that this matter must be related to Concubine Xiao.
Su Qianqian just then remembered that the system had not finished eating the melon, and was interrupted by the Queen's words. The system remained silent afterwards.
[Tongzi, what’s going on with that melon? Why aren’t you talking? 】Su Qianqian asked curiously.
[You finally remembered me?] I saw that you were courting death, as if you were possessed by a drama spirit, so I quietly went to prepare for your funeral. I didn't expect that you would come back alive.
Could it be that the rooster put on an invisibility cloak and sneaked into the Queen's garden under so many eyes? Aren’t you afraid that you will be beheaded by the emperor and implicate me as well? 】
The system accused angrily.
[A person with great skills tends to be bold. The bold will die of overeating while the timid will die of starvation. Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk. You can’t catch a wolf without risking your lamb… Look at the 1,000 taels of gold you earned. It was worth taking a little risk. It’s all in the past. Can we continue to eat melons now? 】
Su Qianqian explained all the principles of adventure.
[Hehe, the big melon is right here. Because of jealousy, Concubine Xiao began to secretly place her own people in the Prime Minister's Mansion. After a few years, they all climbed up to the position of manager, and one of them even became the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion. This person was Lu Zhiqing's aunt.
Didn’t I say that in order to prevent Madam Xiao from entering the palace, Concubine Xiao had someone put incompatible drugs in Madam Xiao’s medicine? Not only did her condition not improve, it became even worse, and she even couldn’t get pregnant.
But one year, Madam Xiao went to another courtyard to recuperate, and coincidentally avoided all the people planted by Concubine Xiao, so she did not take the incompatible medicine. Her health improved, and when Prime Minister Xue went to visit her, she was pregnant! 】
When the system voice reached this point, the Qin family members exchanged glances secretly: A shrewd man like Prime Minister Xue was still being played around in their hands.
Even so, Mrs. Xiao's misfortune did not end. Soon she suffered another blow and almost lost her child! 】
The system's voice was full of emotion.
