Chapter 369 Buried at the Qin Family Tomb
Qin Jinzhi looked at Jin Yuanbao with a meaningful gaze.
This gold ingot appears honest but is actually testing the waters step by step.
He's a smart person, though.
After seeing Zhao Yuanying's agreeing look, she said to Jin Mantang, "In that case, I, the princess, am naturally willing to grant this perfect match. Tomorrow I will go to the palace to request an imperial decree to bestow a marriage upon the two of you."
Jin Mantang's eyes immediately lit up, and he knelt on the ground, saying, "This humble subject thanks the princess!"
After the Jin father and son left, Zhao Yuanying looked at Qin Jinzhi and asked, "I'm getting married, are you going to give me a dowry?"
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow at Zhao Yuanying, "I haven't taken the money yet."
Zhao Yuanying scoffed, "Send me a hundred female warriors and a hundred bodyguards. They must be skilled; I won't take the mediocre ones."
Qin Jinzhi closed her eyes.
After she left the Zhao residence, the carriage stopped at Xue Huaiyi's restaurant.
Before she could even get off the carriage, the waiter ran over.
He reached out to help Qin Jinzhi up.
"Young Master, you've arrived. My elder brother is cooking in the back. Please have a seat."
Qin Jinzhi nodded and followed the waiter into the backyard.
Xue Huaiyi carried the dishes over, the same dishes as last time, the same seats, and the same two people.
This time, however, the person cooking had a much easier time.
Xue Huaiyi poured tea for Qin Jinzhi, then raised his wine cup.
"Thank you, young master."
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow as she ate her food, "Uncle Xue, why are you thanking me?"
Xue Huaiyi drank the wine, "Trust."
Qin Jinzhi chuckled lightly, "What, Uncle Xue, are you trying to get sentimental too?"
Xue Huaiyi laughed heartily.
Qin Jinzhi placed a letter on the table.
Xue Huaiyi opened the letter with some doubt.
Then his eyes gradually reddened, and he suddenly looked up at Qin Jinzhi.
"Princess, is what's in this letter true?"
Qin Jinzhi picked up a piece of meat and said, "He Shi and the real Xue Niaoniao should not be dead. I guess He Shi may have sensed the danger and faked her death with Xue Niaoniao. However, I have not been able to find out where they are now."
Xue Huaiyi took a breath. "No matter where you are, it's good to be alive."
Qin Jinzhi finished eating all the meat in front of her, then wiped her mouth.
"There are too few people here."
Xue Huaiyi's eyes lit up upon hearing this, "I understand."
Qin Jinzhi is about to fully utilize his people.
This trip to Cangzhou was also a test.
Qin Jinzhi trusted him and let him leave the capital.
This was also the final test of his loyalty, and clearly, his loyalty was seen.
Qin Jinzhi said, "You will personally handle the funeral arrangements for Twelve Snows of Yanyu Tower. I will be there."
"yes."
Qin Jinzhi stood up. "The dishes were cooked perfectly this time."
Qin Jinzhi consumed quite a bit of the meat and vegetables on the table.
Yun Que and Yun Jin waited in the carriage.
As soon as Qin Jinzhi got into the carriage, Yun Jin asked, "Princess, how did you know that Xue Huaiyi had not betrayed us, and how did you guess that there was a traitor in the Thousand Birds Bureau? I've been thinking about it for days."
After Qin Jinzhi sat down, she picked up a piece of fruit. "Before he left, he invited me to this restaurant to lay all the cards on my head. That day he said he cooked all the dishes he knew how to cook, which proves that all the people he could use were here. He left the capital with all his subordinates, so who would he send a message to in the capital?"
Yun Jin frowned. "His subordinates have all been taken away, so the only one in the capital who has contact with him is the Prince's Mansion. Therefore, the princess will naturally know the news that has been sent back."
Qin Jinzhi said with satisfaction, "You've made a lot of progress."
Yun Jin suddenly realized and said, "Since the news has already been sent back to the Prince's Mansion, why did Commander Xue deliberately avoid the Thousand Birds Division? The Thousand Birds Division is under the Princess's control. Commander Xue's unnecessary actions are just to pass on the message. But Princess, aren't there the Prince's other two adopted sons who can contact Commander Xue? What if he spreads false information?"
Qin Jinzhi smiled and patted her head: "Such complicated questions are not suitable for you."
Yun Jin smiled crookedly.
Yun Que smiled and gestured, "Our people have already figured out the situation in Cangzhou."
If Commander Xue has not betrayed the princess, our people will cooperate with him.
If Commander Xue betrays the princess, our men will kill him on the spot.
Qin Jinzhi smiled as she looked at their expressions.
How can you talk about trust without going through life and death together?
However, Xue Huaiyi successfully completed her test.
The news of He Shi and the real Xue Niaoniao was his reward.
Qin Jinzhi looked at Yun Que, "How's your throat?"
Yun Que pointed to the tiny needle marks on her neck and said, "Yuan Zheng has improved the prescription, so there's no need to worry."
The three returned to the Prince's Palace.
The next day, Xue Huaiyi arranged the funeral for Twelve Snows.
When Miaotangchun arrived at the entrance of Yanyu Tower, she found many little beggars kneeling and crying in front of the door.
He stepped forward angrily, shouting, "What are you doing! The person is dead and you're still causing trouble! Who ordered you to do this?!"
Although he had a grudge against Twelve Snow.
But death is like a lamp going out. He understood the suffering required to achieve fame. He was a famous actor, yet he couldn't even rest in peace after his unjust death.
Unexpectedly, the little beggar who was leading the group said, "Don't be angry, sir. We're not causing trouble. We just want to give our benefactor a ride."
Miao Tangchun was taken aback. Another little beggar said, "Our benefactor always helped us when he was alive. We are beggars and don't want to sully his Yanyu Tower."
Miao Tangchun's anger vanished. "I never imagined he would have such a kind heart."
He stepped inside and lit an incense stick for the Twelve Snows.
May he pass away soon.
Just as he was about to leave, someone outside the door suddenly announced his arrival.
"The Princess Who Protects the Nation has arrived!"
Miao Tangchun's pupils dilated in surprise; the princess had actually come to Twelve Snow's funeral.
He remained where he was.
Qin Jinzhi looked at the beggar at the door, crying and calling out to his benefactor, "May you have a good journey."
What a pushover!
Miao Tangchun saw Qin Jinzhi walk in dressed in pure black.
Qin Jinzhi stood in the mourning hall of Twelve Snow for a while.
A woman with red eyes was carrying a tray.
"This humble woman pays her respects to the princess. This is the troupe leader who searched for her desperately before his death, saying that he wanted to present it to the princess."
Qin Jinzhi looked at the prepared sweet potatoes on the tray.
He reached out, grabbed a piece, and put it in his mouth.
After a long while, Qin Jinzhi finally spoke, "It's delicious."
She turned around and said, "Twelve Snow has done a good job in finding this item. Seven days later, Twelve Snow will be buried in the Qin Family Tomb."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Miao Tangchun couldn't believe her ears.
The princess actually buried people like them, who were considered the lowest of the low, in the Qin family cemetery.
If the princess were to die, Twelve Snows would die alongside her.
The princess made this decision despite being engaged to the Pei family's son!
It turns out that Twelve Snow and the princess have such a deep friendship.
For a time, countless storytellers in their studios used the two as models.
He wrote one poignant love story after another.
It quickly spread throughout the country.
Just when everyone in the state of Jin knew about it.
The first batch of sweet potato seedlings has sprouted.
Many farmers were shocked by the speed at which the crops grew.
Qin Jinzhi, however, took the sweet potato to court.
