"Of course, if this matter is done well, I will reward you handsomely."

Empress An Qintian said word by word.

Xu Qiu bowed and accepted the order, then exited the Yangxin Palace and left quickly.

At this time, Eunuch Wang said, "Your Majesty, is it okay for him, a little son-in-law, to contact the head of the New Moon Pavilion?"

"What's wrong with that? The head of Xinyue Pavilion lives in the Qin Mansion. Behind the Qin Mansion is Qingluan Valley. It's impossible for them to cooperate. It's actually beneficial to us."

An Qintian was actually happy to see Qin Hyun-ya living in the Qin Mansion.

She and Qin Jianjia are naturally incompatible, so maybe they can still balance each other out.

Eunuch Wang added: "But I'm afraid this person is difficult to control. He is very arrogant."

"The one the Pavilion Master falls in love with won't be arrogant. However, if he messes up, I don't mind giving him the death penalty." Empress An Qintian was full of resentment, like a nagging woman.

After Xu Qiu left, her eyes were like a sharp sword, full of coldness.

When Eunuch Wang saw this, she felt someone was touching her weak spot.

An Qintian said to Eunuch Wang with a stern look in his eyes: "Let someone investigate everything about Ye Liangchen, including his affairs with the Prime Minister of the dynasty."

An Qintian was originally optimistic about Ye Liangchen.

He even hoped to support him to build a force to fight against the prime minister.

However, An Qintian was disappointed that Ye Liangchen was actually engaged to Gu Xiangxiang. Wasn't it obvious that he was standing in the camp of the prime minister and working together to undermine her, the empress? ...

Xu Qiu left the palace gate.

He muttered to himself, "It's not a good thing to be targeted by Yuqin Hyun-ah, but I also borrowed her name, so it's fair."

The Empress' favorite thing is to play the game of balance.

Whether it is the Qin family or the prime minister of the current dynasty, they are all playing the game of checks and balances.

The Empress's friendship with Crescent Moon Pavilion is, to some extent, also intended to balance the power of Qingluan Valley.

Qin Jianjia becomes a third-rank general, and her power will be further expanded, not to mention that she also represents Qingluan Valley. As for the prime minister of the current dynasty, the empress is also afraid of this guy. Old man Gu is a veteran of two dynasties, and he has won over many officials.

That's why the empress resorted to this desperate measure and sought the Crescent Pavilion as her backer.

At the same time, Yuqin Hyun-a also needed external forces to consolidate her position, and the two hit it off.

However, in the plot of the novel in the previous life, it was Ye Liangchen who picked the peaches in the end.

Xu Qiu didn't like that thing, so he planted the seeds of suspicion in the empress.

Regardless of whether Ye Liangchen is talented or not, he will not be valued in the end. In the court, talent is not the first priority, but standing in the right side is.

As for whether the empress rewards or punishes him, Xu Qiu doesn't care. Anyway, the right thing to do is to wait until he is fully grown and free, and the empress will tremble at his feet.

"Brother-in-law, is it okay for the Empress to look for you?"

At this moment, a crisp voice was heard outside the palace gate.

Xu Qiu looked up and found that Qin Yumo seemed to have been waiting here for a long time.

He asked in confusion, "Why are you here?"

Qin Yumo opened her red lips slightly, "Xiao Cui said that the emperor called you away. I was worried about you, so I came here."

Of course, what she was worried about was whether the empress would hand her brother-in-law over to Yuqin Hyun-a and make her brother-in-law a sacrifice.

She doesn't want to lose Xu Qiu.

After these days of contact, Qin Yumo has become completely dependent on Xu Qiu, and even has a secret crush on her.

After hearing her words, Xu Qiu turned his head to look at Xiao Cui who was hiding behind Qin Yumo. She stuck out her tongue as if she had made a mistake, to show that she did not mean it.

"Son-in-law, Miss San is also worried about you."

Xiao Cui said timidly.

Xu Qiu flicked her head.

Then he rubbed Qin Yumo's head with a calm expression, "Don't worry, I'm just asking some questions."

After saying that, he headed towards the guard post.

Qin Yumo followed beside him, grasping the corner of his clothes with her slender fingers.

After hesitating for a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother-in-law, if the head of Xinyue Pavilion wants you to go over, will you leave the Qin family?"

Hearing this, Xu Qiu turned his head and looked at her.

Her face was full of worry, and there was not much color in her eyes. At some point, she grabbed the end of Xu Qiu's clothes with one hand.

"Don't worry, she won't leave me."

He could clearly feel that Qin Yumo's dependence on him was becoming stronger and stronger.

Not only did she treat him as a father, but she also treated him as a husband.

Zhuque Street not far from the city gate.

"La~"

A burst of suona sounded.

Xu Qiu and Qin Yumo glanced over curiously.

I saw the side door of a mansion opened, and the matchmaker carried the bride covered with red cloth into the sedan chair.

There were not many people in this wedding team, and it could be described as shabby. Apart from a large sedan chair carried by four people, there were only six people left beating gongs, drums and holding flags.

Qin Yumo muttered to himself, "These are all official residences. How could it be possible that the mistress of the mansion is getting married? There are so few people. Only taking a concubine would be like this."

Xiao Cui reminded, "Miss San, this is the Tong Mansion."

"It turns out that Tong Wanxia is getting married." Qin Yumo suddenly realized.

The news of Tong Wanxia and Ye Liangchen's adultery had already spread widely, and almost everyone in the capital, whether in the aristocratic circles or the common people, knew about it.

It is also known that Tong Wanxia divorced Liu Baiwen and became Ye Liangchen's concubine.

This is the most respectable thing the Tong family can do.

But it still makes people sigh.

At this time, the wedding team seemed to be trying their best to hide themselves. The suona was played simply a few times and then put away. The same went for the other musical instruments. Only two maids were crying. At the same time, they walked to places with few people, as if they were afraid of being seen.

But there were still a lot of people watching.

When Qin Yumo saw this scene, a smile appeared on her pretty face again.

"You deserve it. You did it yourself. You left your good husband at home and committed adultery with him. Now you can only be a concubine."

She put her hands on her hips, looking like she had just had her revenge.

Especially that night, if her brother-in-law hadn't saved her, her innocent reputation would have been ruined.

Therefore, Qin Yumo hated Tong Wanxia to death.

However, when she turned her head to look at her brother-in-law, she found that Xu Qiu was staring at a woman.

The woman had a pretty face, and was wearing a brocade and embroidered jacket, a fox fur coat around her neck. She was well-mannered and elegant, and it was obvious at first glance that she was a lady from a scholarly family.

She hid in the corner of the street, keeping her eyes on the wedding procession until it went away.

"Brother-in-law..." Qin Yumo was furious.

I was just about to remind my brother-in-law that he is a married man and not to peek at other women outside.

Then Xu Qiu’s voice was heard.

[Gu Xiangxiang, the daughter of the prime minister, why is she here? ]

Qin Yumo changed his words immediately, "Brother-in-law, what are you looking at?"

"The daughter of the Prime Minister of the dynasty, Gu Xiangxiang."

"Why is she here?" Qin Yumo repeated Xu Qiu's thoughts.

"She is engaged to Ye Liangchen. Perhaps she wants to see Tong Wanxia because of Ye Liangchen's decision to take a concubine."

Xu Qiu explained simply.

He knew the plot and also knew Gu Xiangxiang's character.

[The naive heroine is well protected by the Prime Minister of the dynasty. She doesn’t know much about the world, so she was deceived by Ye Liangchen. Now that he wants her to take a concubine, she probably can’t accept it. However, I think Ye Liangchen convinced her.]

[She is really pitiful, blind]

Qin Yumo originally had hostility towards Gu Xiangxiang because the Qin family was framed by the prime minister of the time, so he hated the whole family.

But when she heard what her brother-in-law said, she felt sorry for Gu Xiangxiang.

Qin Yumo opened her red lips slightly, "She only looks heartbroken, she doesn't look like a bad person. If she were a jealous woman, she would have a resentful expression at this moment."

"Surprisingly, your observation is indeed good." Xu Qiu raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at his sister-in-law.

[This guy has improved a lot and is no longer as stupid as before.]

Qin Yumo: “…”
