Chapter 31: Sharp Blade, It’s Better to Hide from the Misses
Since Yingyi had informed Qin Yinyao, he took the horse from the stable openly and rode to the East Palace.
In the study of the Eastern Palace, Xiao Chen sat behind the desk, reading memorials and listening to the reports from court officials.
Yingyi is a secret guard who has the authority to meet the prince directly.
He went straight into the study and saw the ministers reporting government affairs in an orderly manner, and swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
After bowing, he stepped aside and waited.
Xiao Chen raised his head when he heard the noise, and when he saw Ying Yi, his eyebrows raised.
Putting down the red brush in his hand, he said: "Everyone is tired. Go out for a walk and stretch your body. We will continue the discussion later."
"Yes." Several ministers thought it was an urgent matter and did not dare to delay. They bowed and retreated.
"What happened to the young lady?" Xiao Chen leaned back and relaxed on the chair.
Yingyi almost burst out laughing before he even opened his mouth.
He coughed twice, suppressed his smile, and then said, "The eldest lady is fine. She just read Mrs. Cen's testimony and got angry."
"Are you angry?" Xiao Chen frowned: "Not angry?"
It is not good to keep the depression in your heart and chest, as it will harm your body.
"I lost my temper. I ordered my men to take the carriage to the City God Temple, called out the City God and his attendants, and gave them a good beating." Ying Yi reported truthfully, "I broke more than a dozen willow branches."
"This is the first time I've seen such a scene..."
Fortunately, the Yin Official was still the Yin Official after all, and his body was just covered in bruises and purples, not in patches all over the place. Otherwise, even if the secret guards had amazing self-control, they would still be scared to death.
Xiao Chen chuckled: "I'm glad that Miss is relieved."
"Go to the Imperial Hospital later and ask the director for some hand and skin ointment. Willow branches are rough, and the young lady must have scratched her palms after holding them for so long."
"Take some extra for backup, and besides..."
He glanced at the swords at his waist and said, "Take off your swords and replace them with soft swords to wear inside your waistbands."
Although the City God would not really watch the eldest lady hurt herself, but the eldest lady has such a bad temper.
Just in case, it’s better to stay away from these sharp blades.
Ying Yi: “…”
Don't exaggerate!
"Your Highness, the eldest lady sent a message from me." He said in a shameful voice, "The eldest lady said..."
The moonlight at night should be very beautiful. I am waiting for the moonlight and also for you.
Xiao Chen's eyes were startled for a moment, then a faint smile appeared on his face, and his whole body became much gentler.
"You have worked hard on this job, so I will reward you with half a year's salary." He said in a gentle voice.
Yingyi: “???”
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Please do more of this kind of message-delivering work in the future!
He loves it!
In the East Palace, good news came unexpectedly in the past six months.
The teleportation array on Si Tianjian's side started from the feet of Li Cheng and others and went straight to the front of the dean.
Looking at the dean's outstretched hand, several people felt sad.
"Dean, this was given to us by our junior sister..." Li Ming struggled desperately.
They had already divided it up, and what remained in the box was originally meant to be handed in.
But can the feeling be the same if you voluntarily hand it over and if you are forced to hand it over?
The dean scoffed, "Don't think I don't know. You've already hidden the ones you need. Hand over the rest."
"Xiao Ming, don't be too greedy. You must know how to make choices in moderation, so that you can achieve long-term success."
With a hook of his finger, the box hidden behind Li Ming was lifted up by a force and floated into the dean's hands.
He opened it and took a look: "The material for the City God's official robe, Qin girl is quite generous to you brothers."
"Master, what are you talking about?" Li Ming smiled flatteringly and stepped forward to massage the dean's shoulders. "This was originally given to you by my junior sister, specifically asked me to give it to you, Master!"
"It was the disciples who saw the treasure open their eyes and secretly missed it. This is the little sister's filial piety and sincerity to you, Master!"
The tone suddenly changed: "The disciples have all lost their minds. Master, please don't argue with us."
"You want to speak well of Junior Sister, but you also want the treasure?" The dean glanced at him. "How can you have both? You can only choose one."
Li Ming stopped massaging his shoulders and looked at Senior Brother Li Cheng for help.
The four brothers looked at each other and said, "Disciple will get it and return it to Master."
The dean was delighted: "A treasure like this is rare, and you're really willing to give it away just like that?"
"Of course I'm reluctant to part with it," Li Cheng said honestly, his face hurting. "But this is my junior sister's filial piety..."
Before he could finish his words, the dean silenced him with magic.
The dean sat cross-legged and shook his head, saying, "Xiaocheng, lying is not a good habit. Think it through before you speak to me."
Li Cheng was silent for a long time, nodded, and pointed to his mouth.
Silence spell—solved.
"Master, please forgive me." Li Cheng knelt on one knee. "Junior Sister has a pitiful life. As her senior brothers, we should protect her. But Junior Sister is still a member of the inner house. It is not convenient for us to visit her often, so as not to affect her reputation."
"As Dean Si Tianjian's master, if you could show some love and care to Junior Sister, her life might be easier."
This is the truth.
When they went to the Marquis' Mansion to do their work, Qin Yinyao had not yet recovered and was very thin.
Even though she changed into a new Luo skirt and looked in great spirits, her complexion could not be hidden from them.
In their eyes, that excellent spirit is like a new bud sprouting from a dead tree. It is vitality, and the last vitality.
The General's Mansion has done such great deeds. As the little junior sister is the only bloodline left in the world, they... can't bear it.
"And the disciples didn't lie. This is a gift from Junior Sister to you."
It's just to replenish the soul bottle.
They just concealed some of the truth.
"Oh, she's quite honest." The dean stroked her hair and said, "She's very talented and will have a happy life in the future. I'm kind to you, so I can accept your kindness..."
His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately changed his words: "Since the Immortal Official is here, why don't you show yourself to see me?"
Immortal official?
A ball of yin energy appeared and slowly transformed into a human form.
"I am a minor official in the City God Temple. I am here to deliver something on the orders of the Lord."
As soon as he finished speaking, a box that was also in the shape of Yin energy appeared and opened automatically. Inside were several soul-catching ropes.
"Li Cheng, Li Ming..." He called out the names of the five people and said, "One soul-catching rope for each of you."
The Soul-Catching Rope in the box floated in front of a few people, and the remaining one floated in front of the Dean: "This is Miss Qin Yinyao's request for the Sitian Supervisor. It is up to the Dean to deal with it."
The dean smiled meaningfully: "So, my little apprentice, who hasn't even become a disciple yet, has met the City God?"
The Yin official was overjoyed: "The dean is the palace... Miss Qin's future master? Could he possibly give Miss some instructions?"
The dean's eyebrows twitched: "Did Yin Yao cause trouble at the City God Temple?"
"Is it imprudent?" The clerk almost burst into tears. "It's more than imprudent, it's simply insane. The willow branches were so thick, and the beating was..."
Seeing the change in their expressions, the clerk immediately came to his senses: "Hey! I'm not being rude, I'm just visiting!"
