Her orchid fingers like jade onions slowly supported her delicate head, her autumn eyes were like the stars in the sky, her gaze was on Xu Qiu, but her dark eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her jade lips gently opened and said: "It's a pity, even if I plead for the people, in the face of absolute strength, all kindness is nothing."
Yuqin Hyun-A talked to herself.
It seems like he has something in mind.
I don't think highly of this kind of fool who pleads for the people.
I just find it interesting. After all, fools like Xu Qiu are rare, especially in the officialdom of Daqian.
But, while she was observing Xu Qiu.
Xu Qiu also noticed that someone was staring at him.
Since he became a third-rate warrior, the sensitivity of his five senses has greatly improved.
What's more, with the help of Yuan Yang Gong, even if Xu Qiu is only a third-rate warrior now, he is three or four times stronger than an ordinary third-rate warrior. Even if he fights against a second-rate warrior, he can still fight for a draw.
And the Yuan Yang Gong is running all the time.
That is to say, his strength will increase every day.
It only takes more than forty days to break through to become a second-rate warrior.
Xu Qiu turned his head and looked behind him. At the other end of the street, he looked at the woman in the sedan chair parked on the side of the road.
[Isn't this the head of Xinyue Pavilion, Youqin Hyun-ya? ]
Xu Qiu narrowed his eyes and looked over, feeling a little surprised that Youqin Hyun-A showed up in the capital so soon.
Right now.
Youqin Hyun-ya looked at Xu Qiu and was slightly surprised: "This guy is quite perceptive. He noticed me so quickly."
She couldn't help but become somewhat interested in Xu Qiu.
But the next moment, he heard Xu Qiu’s voice.
"Hmm... ? Is this a voice transmission over a thousand miles?" Youqin Hyun-ya was puzzled, with doubts filling her soft brows.
Even though they were so far away, she could hear it clearly.
However, it was strange that Qin Hyun-ya could sense that Xu Qiu was only a third-rate warrior.
"Thousand-mile sound transmission?"
The maid next to her was puzzled.
From beginning to end, she never saw Xu Qiu say a word.
Xu Qiu just looked over quietly without opening his mouth.
Yuqin Hyun-a became increasingly curious about Xu Qiu and was planning to send her maid to investigate Xu Qiu.
Suddenly, a team of royal guards came hurriedly.
The leading lieutenant bowed and clasped his fists to Youqin Hyun-ya in the sedan chair, and said respectfully: "Master, welcome to Daqian. Our Queen has been waiting for a long time. I hope you will do me the honor of going to the palace. The Emperor has prepared wine for you."
The Imperial Guards had already received news that Qin Hyun-a had entered the capital.
However, because of Qin Hyun-ya's secretive whereabouts, no one noticed where she was.
If it weren't for Qin Hyun-ah who liked to wander around and visited the entire capital city, the Imperial Guards would not have been able to discover her.
"Well, lead the way."
Yuqin Hyun-A said expressionlessly.
At the same time, the curtains of the sedan chair were lowered.
He had to suppress his curiosity about Xu Qiu.
Soon, she followed the Royal Guards to the palace.
Seeing Youqin Hyun-ya leaving, Xu Qiu didn't care much, but continued to familiarize himself with the work flow.
After that, he returned to the guardhouse, gave some instructions, arranged a special kitchen for old man Qian, and Xu Qiu changed into ordinary nobleman's clothes and prepared to go to the palace.
Xu Qiu did not forget to get some medicinal herbs from the palace.
After all, only the imperial palace has all the nourishing medicinal materials, and the palace of Daqian collects treasures from all over the country.
Arrived at the gate of the imperial city.
The guards who originally wanted to refuse Xu Qiu entry suddenly stopped him when they heard that it was the token from the Seventh Princess.
He immediately said respectfully: "Sir, please wait a moment."
Then he went in to pass the message, and about a quarter of an hour later, a palace maid in orange and yellow brocade clothes came out in small steps.
When she saw Xu Qiu, she said in a soft voice, "Mr. Xu, please come in. My princess has been waiting for you for a long time. She has been talking about you before, but you are only here now."
There was a hint of resentment in her tone as she spoke.
It was obvious that he was expressing his dissatisfaction with Xu Qiu for coming to see the seventh princess, An Xinyu, only now.
"Sorry, I just got off work and now I have time to meet the Seventh Princess." Xu Qiu was a little polite. After all, he would need the help of the Seventh Princess An Xinyu later.
"I hope what you said is true."
The palace maid said with a hint of arrogance.
After all, she was the seventh princess's personal maid, so her status in the palace was not low.
Even the eunuchs had to call her respectfully when they saw her.
Led by the palace maid, Xu Qiu passed through the heavily guarded imperial palace, the red walls and yellow tiles, and the harem garden, and finally came to a magnificent garden.
However, as soon as he entered the Moon Arch Gate, Xu Qiu saw the Seventh Princess standing on the tree.
She was just about to pick loquats from the tree.
Under the tree, a group of panicked palace maids kept shouting, "Your Highness, the Princess is in danger. Can I help you pick the flowers?"
"Seventh Princess, take care of yourself!"
The palace maids were extremely panicked. If the princess made any mistake, they would probably lose their heads.
At this time, the palace maid who led Xu Qiu into the palace saw her seventh princess on the tree.
He also ran forward in panic and said to the Seventh Princess An Xinyu who was on the tree: "Seventh Princess, why are you on the tree?"
When An Xinyu saw her, she asked in confusion, "It's Xiao He, where's Xu Qiu?"
Xiao He pointed awkwardly to the side, where Xu Qiu was looking at her under the tree.
"ah?!"
An Xinyu discovered that she had made an ugly scene and was actually seen by Xu Qiu. Her face immediately turned red and she was at a loss as to what to do.
She grabbed the hem of her skirt for fear of being exposed, and at the same time she frantically grabbed the tree trunk, trying to get down immediately.
However, because her skirt was too long, An Xinyu stepped on the hem of her skirt due to nervousness. In an instant, she lost her balance and fell from a high place in the tree, in a direct free fall.
All the palace maids turned pale when they saw the scene before them, and cried out in shock: "Princess!"
They all raised their arms to catch their princess.
Unfortunately, the palace maids were like ants on a hot pan and were completely unable to hold An Xinyu back.
An Xinyu saw that her head was about to hit the ground.
The next moment.
A figure appeared before her.
Then his broad arms held her in his arms accurately.
An Xinyu went from free fall to a princess hug.
When she came to her senses, she found that Xu Qiu was holding her and protecting her in his arms. After Xu Qiu made sure that she was safe and sound, he ruthlessly and gently put her on the ground.
An Xinyu had never had such an experience before. Her heart couldn't stop beating wildly, like a deer running around in its heartbeat.
Her pretty face was flushed with shame, even her ears were red as if blood was dripping out.
Even her breathing became rapid.
Xu Qiu looked at An Xinyu, whose eyes were a little dull, and waved his hand in front of her eyes, "Seventh Princess, are you okay?"
"Ah..." An Xinyu screamed after reacting, then patted her skirt and said like a lady, "It's okay! It's okay... Thank you for what you did just now, otherwise I, the Seventh Princess, would have fallen into a pig's head."
