Chapter 413 Extra Welfare Chapter Deep Palace Empress & Beautiful Male Luthier (9)

"Why haven't you come yet?"

The old man with gray temples glanced at the direction of the flower drum from time to time, and when he saw that the pretty figure had not appeared on it, he sighed anxiously again.

Seeing his father like this, Yun Qian frowned in disbelief.Although the woman was indeed youthful in appearance, how could the majestic monarch with three thousand beauties be fascinated by a woman who covered her face?

When the woman came later, he would have to take a good look to see if the delicate face under the curtain was comparable to this dancing posture.

The woman, dressed in green gauze, approached slowly from the side aisle without any trace of dust.A few strands of blue silk are pulled slightly, a drop-shaped pearl hangs on the forehead, and a few delicate but not luxurious hairpins are pinned to it.

The dress at this moment is completely different from the charming dance clothes just now, clean and tidy but not coquettish, luxurious and glamorous like some strangers don't get close to.

Just as Yunxiao and Yunqian father and son were fascinated, the woman had already approached, and blessed her body coldly and perfunctorily: "An Xi has seen some distinguished guests."

The father and son came back to their senses, looked at the glamorous woman in front of them in a daze again, and didn't know what to say.

When the atmosphere was awkward, the shopkeeper came up and introduced with a smile: "This is the number one dancer of our Blissful Residence, and also my younger sister, named Anxi."

"An Xi?" Yun Xiao murmured and repeated, then looked at An Xi and laughed heartily: "Then that means you have a tacit understanding?"

The old man seemed very happy and excited. He raised his wine cup and gestured slightly to An Xi, "Okay, good name. What a beautiful lady with a good heart."

After sighing, he drank the wine in one gulp.

Yun Qian looked at the woman with an indifferent expression in front of her, and for some reason, her heart skipped a beat for some reason.

It's not that I've never seen such stunning beauty, but that kind of beauty is irresistible and involuntary, as if it is captivating.

It is said that the emperor is ruthless, but now... under the stunning beauty of the city, the emperor inevitably bows down and smiles at her.

An Xi really didn't like the appearance of smiling in front of the guests, so she went back to the room without saying a few words.

The shopkeeper knew his sister's temper, so he couldn't say anything.In front of Yunxiao Yunqian, he could only humbly say that the hospitality was not good, served good wine to express his apology, and then went into Anxi's boudoir to comfort his gloomy younger sister.

An Xi was sitting in front of the bronze mirror removing the headgear, when she saw someone pushing the door in behind her, she ignored it.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly put on a smile.He walked up to his sister and rubbed her shoulders flatteringly.

"Little ancestor, didn't I just ask you a few more questions? Why are you showing your face and leaving?"

"Did I shake my face?" The woman stopped holding the hairpin, and her face became even more ugly for a moment.

"No, no. I mean, you can't just leave in such a rude manner."

An Xi took off the jewelry on her head again and again, and replied casually: "I said I was unwell, and I left after saluting. I didn't think I was impolite."

The shopkeeper twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment.What she said was true, and it was true.But my sister, let's look like this, seeing everyone with drooping eyelids, looking like they have nothing to do with her, it looks really annoying.

I don't know if the guest will be angry because of this incident.

Before the man could say anything else, he was ordered to evict the guest: "Are you all right, I'm going to rest now."

The shopkeeper froze in embarrassment, looking as if he was being neglected and thankless.

He sighed and turned to leave.After taking two steps, I remembered something and turned around to look at the woman, "Don't go to the roof to watch the moon tonight, those people said they want to stay here, after all, they are outsiders, so it's not safe."

"But today is the full moon." An Xi whispered regretfully, as if remembering something, tears welled up in her beautiful eyes unconsciously.

"You can't go there either!" The man changed his previous weak and easy-going tone, and his tone was a little blunt.

Seeing that the woman was silent and stopped talking, he thought he had frightened her.After sighing softly, she stepped forward to comfort her: "Xi'er, I'm doing it for your own good. If something happens to you, how can I tell my parents..."

Before he could finish his sentence, An Xi interrupted him: "I see, I just don't go out tonight."

...

"Father, why did you suddenly decide to spend the night here?" Yun Qian frowned and asked the old man in front of her respectfully.

In fact, it can be regarded as asking the question knowingly, and I already have eight or nine guesses about the answer in my heart.

The emperor did this for that woman.

"Don't ask more about these things, go back and rest." Yun Xiao raised his head and retreated, without saying too much, as if he was trying to cover up something.

Yun Qian didn't dare to ask more questions, and returned to her room after saluting respectfully.

In the room, he turned his back to one of the trusted guards, and ordered: "Go and find out the details about this brother and sister and the Bliss House."

It's not that he is suspicious by nature, but this visit.Don't be careless.If something happens to Yunxiao, the biggest beneficiary will be him, the crown prince.Even if he didn't do anything at all, I'm afraid it would be difficult to convince the public.

Therefore, protecting Yunxiao is also protecting oneself.

Yun Xiao has been in power for decades, so he naturally understands this truth.I want to use the hand of the current prince to get rid of those who have evil intentions, and also use this to test the strength of the prince.

In the face of this absolute power, there has long been no family affection to speak of, and they have always only used each other and calculated.

Even if they are blood relatives, they can only become prisoners of power and become as humble as dust, not worth mentioning.

...

Half an hour later, the guard who just went out to inquire about the news sneaked into the room from the night.

Yun Qian was sitting at the table drinking tea, when he saw someone kneeling respectfully in front of him, he put down the teacup in his hand, and asked in a cold voice, "What did you find out?"

"Return to Your Highness. The two brothers and sisters of Ji Le Ju are orphans, their parents died young, and they came here in exile ten years ago. The elder brother has not married since he was [-], and he runs Ji Le Ju. Although this Ji Le Ju is in the border town, it has a great reputation. Because of one person."

"But that dancer?" Yun Qian raised her eyes curiously and asked.

"Returning to Your Highness, it is the dancer girl. The prodigal sons of the border towns often see her coming to the Bliss Residence for fun, and even people from the Yuanzhong come here admiringly."

Following the guard's words, the man standing aside smiled slightly and murmured subconsciously: "Such a beautiful woman, it is inevitable that she will attract attention..."

"Your Highness, if you feel that there are people in the Bliss Residence who intend to do something wrong, why don't you send them all..."

Before the guard finished speaking, he was interrupted by the man raising his hand.

"No need, step back." Yun Qian said indifferently.

The guard didn't dare to ask any more questions and retreated.

...

Late at night, the faint sound of insects continued to come.Holding a lantern, the woman slowly walked out of the Blissful Residence in a robe, walked around to a small hill in front and sat on the ground, and began to look at the bright full moon.

The moon in the border town is much larger than that in the original, and there are many more stars in the sky.Countless stars linger in the sky, and Shenshang looks at each other from a distance across the white Milky Way belt, like a lover who is separated forever.

An Xi just rested her chin and looked at the moon quietly, watching whether the clouds and mists were blocking it and drifting away again.Looking at the shadow on the moon disk, I don't know if it is the reflection of the osmanthus tree of the moon palace fairy, or the misty clouds.

"The moon on the fifteenth day is really round, mom and dad, how are you doing on the moon?" An Xi said, she couldn't help but stretched out her hand to touch the moon in front of her, but a cool feeling came from touching it. wind.

She is close in front of her eyes but far away in the sky. She knows that she will never touch the moon and never wait for her parents.

The gentle and smiling male voice came, which startled the woman.She retracted her hand resentfully, and shivered: "Did your parents go to the moon?"

An Xi looked back, only to see a man in a fine attire slowly approaching and sitting beside her.I don't care about the muddy loess slope, which stained the valuable silk and satin on my body.

Seeing that he didn't put on the airs of a rich man or the royal family and aristocrats that his brother said, An Xi was not as repulsive as Bai Ri.She nodded, and looked at the moon unconsciously, with a serious and sad expression.

"Well, my mother told me before that people go to the moon after death. They will always look at those who miss them in the sky."

Yun Qian watched the woman stretch out her hand to cover the moon, looked up at the silent sky, and suddenly sympathized with her, wanted to comfort her but didn't know how to speak.

"Your parents, how did you leave?" Yun Qian glanced sideways at the woman and asked lightly.

An Xi shook her head bitterly, her small face was full of sadness: "I don't remember clearly, I only know that my brother and I came home after having fun that day, and saw my parents being carried out under a white cloth. Relatives and friends said My father and mother were seriously ill and left suddenly."

"Then how did you get here?" the man asked again.

The woman didn't hide her words, and said eloquently: "I was kidnapped and sold to the border town. My brother found me after a lot of hard work. He used the money from selling the property to open a restaurant here called Wangyue Restaurant. Later, the restaurant was in a downturn, so my brother changed it. It has become a band, where dancers are invited to dance for people to have fun, and it has become the current Bliss House."

An Xi choked up unconsciously as she spoke.Tears fell slowly, and slowly began to cry.

Yun Qian wanted to comfort her by putting her hand on her shoulder, but before she could touch her, she heard someone shouting, "It's not good! Master was assassinated!"

The man withdrew his hand in an instant, got up hurriedly and went back to Blissful Residence.An Xi came to her senses when she heard the voice, quickly wiped away the remaining tears on her face, picked up the lantern beside her and followed.

...

In the room, Yun Xiao was lying on the bed covered in blood, breathing heavily.His white beard was stained with blood from his mouth.

The guards stood aside and escorted nervously, but no one dared to step forward because they didn't have medical skills.

Yun Qian came back in a hurry, went to the bed and held Yun Xiao's hand. Seeing his lips parted and closed in pain, unable to speak, he hurriedly said, "Hurry up and call for a doctor! The assassin must be left alive!"

The shopkeeper who was sleeping soundly woke up when he heard the scream, and wanted to enter the door, but was stopped by the guards.

"Guests, honored guests, what's the matter with you? But what happened?" The man in nightgown, with blue stubble on his face, was blocked by the guards and looked at Yun Xiao lying on the bed, and there was a man kneeling alone. Yun Qian in front of the bed asked with a smile that didn't make sense.

Yun Qian waved his hand, motioning for the guards to let him go.

Only then did the shopkeeper enter the room.As he approached, he saw Yun Xiao who was covered in blood on the bed and had a knife stabbed into his abdomen, and frowned in surprise.

"This...this...how did this happen?" The shopkeeper was incoherent for a while, and a little fear slowly welled up in his heart.You must know that if these people hold the responsibility to him, then in their identities, the people in Ji Le Ju will be doomed.

Even if they leave without pursuing the matter, it is inevitable that the assassin will turn back and kill everyone in Ji Le Ju.

Alas, why did he provoke such a group of people?I knew I shouldn't be greedy for a bag of gold.

Even though I was distressed, there was nothing I could do. After all, it was useless to regret.

"Let's save people first, I know some medical skills. If you trust me, you might as well let me bandage up your father."

Following the shopkeeper's words, the guard who had just gone out to invite a doctor trotted into the room, knelt on the ground and clasped his fists without saying a word: "Small ones are useless, there is no medical center within five miles."

The shopkeeper interjected helplessly: "Oh, there is no medical center outside the border town, unless you want to go to a nearby city, which would be ten miles away."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qian glanced sideways at the old man on the bed.Seeing that Yunxiao was in unbearable pain, he frowned helplessly.

Forget it, now a dead horse can only be treated as a living horse doctor.

"There's the shopkeeper over there. If you can help my father tide over the difficulties, you will be rewarded with a lot of money in the future." Yun Qian said, lightly tossing the hem of her clothes and kneeling in front of the shopkeeper, bowing her eyes.

Yun Qianqiu regarded him as his own brother, and didn't say that he didn't accept his etiquette. Instead, he smiled generously, and then helped him up.

"What's the point of being a guest? Besides, I am speculating with you. For the sake of my brother, I will do my best." After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he turned and left, as if to get the medicine box.

An Xi didn't know when she stood outside the door and didn't come in.It wasn't until the shopkeeper turned and left that he and Yun Qian found her.

Without saying a word, the shopkeeper pressed her shoulders and pushed her away.

"Girls, don't join in the fun with everything." My brother persuaded me earnestly.

Pushed by him, An Xi couldn't stop walking.She glanced back at Yun Qian in the room, seeing his sad and anxious expression, she couldn't help asking her brother curiously: "What happened?"

The shopkeeper stopped pushing her, and lowered his eyes, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

"Don't ask if you shouldn't."

"But..." An Xi wanted to say something but was interrupted by the man: "Okay, it's late at night, go back and rest early."

The shopkeeper's tone was concise, without the slightest sloppiness.It sounded neither cold nor cold, nor mixed with emotion, nor was it the usual pampering, easy-going and considerate towards An Xi.

An Xi knew that if she asked any more questions, her brother would get angry.So he didn't continue to ask any more questions, and obediently returned to his room with a lantern.

After taking the medicine box, the shopkeeper rushed to the room where Yun Xiao was located without stopping.He is not very skilled in medicine, but it is more than enough to bandage the wound in an emergency.

"I'll help your father treat the wound briefly to stop the bleeding. Before tomorrow morning, you go to the city to find a doctor." The shopkeeper said.
