Remnant King's Concubine

Chapter 114 The Return of the Hero
After Zhan Rong heard it, he quickly closed the lid, and said with a smile: "This one smells like roses, it's too strong. I think the emperor must like women's fragrance, so I recommend it. If the empress doesn't like it, you can try this—— She turned around and handed the powder box to the maid, and picked another box and brought it to Ji Liangruo, "This is the scent of camellia." Then she opened the lid.

Ji Liangruo lowered his head and saw the word "Huang" clearly written on the powder, his expression changed.She raised her head abruptly, seeing Zhan Rong blinking.

She quickly regained her composure and straightened her face: "This is not bad..."

Except for them, no one can see the words on the face powder.But the nearby maid noticed Ji Liangruo's expression was different, and immediately walked over quickly: "Ma'am, what's the matter with you?" As she said that, she wanted to get the powder box.

At this time, a voice came from outside the door, saying, "The emperor is here."

Ji Liangruo was startled, and the maid was also startled, and bumped into her and Zhan Rong accidentally, and Zhan Rong let go at this moment.

With a bang, the powder box fell to the ground, and the powder inside was shattered, leaving a cloud of smoke and dust on the ground.

When the maid saw it, she knew that even if the secrets of the incense powder had been destroyed, she hurriedly knelt on the ground: "My lord, please forgive me, this servant didn't do it on purpose!"

Ji Liangruo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "Get up. The emperor is here, seeing you kneeling, don't you know that you broke it? Be careful!"

The door of the sleeping hall had been pushed open, and seeing Qin Yunguang's figure appear, she didn't go any further, and knelt down on the spot.

Qin Yunguang yelled "Pingshen", walked in front of her, saw the powder box under her feet, and looked a little displeased: "What's going on?"

"Slave—" Seeing his expression frightened, she changed her words, "Just now Madam Zhou handed it to the concubine, and the concubine reached out to pick it up. When she heard that the emperor was coming, she was frightened and accidentally dropped it."

"My coming makes you so uncomfortable?"

"It was too loud, too sudden..." she whispered.

Qin Yunguang looked at her deeply, then turned his head and said to the eunuch behind him: "From now on, come to Lanyue Palace, no chickens and cats are allowed to bark!" He glanced at the dowry, and asked Zhan Rong, "Why do you only have these boxes? "

Zhan Rong immediately said: "As soon as the daughter of the people goes back, I will ask someone to bring some more dowry!"

"How much dowry is enough? Since the empress likes to use your Zhange, then send them all!"

"Yes, the girl obeys!" She couldn't help but curse in her heart: all?I can't use it up until I die, keep it for burial!
Qin Yunguang looked at her suspiciously: "Aren't you married? Why are you paying back the people?"

Zhan Rong was stunned for a moment, and said: "Civil women now represent Yi Zhan Pavilion, I forgot for a while..." She usually enters the palace as the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family.When doing business, it is not always easy to make friends with relatives, so I consciously retreat to ordinary people, forgetting to call myself a "folk woman".

Qin Yunguang snorted coldly: "It's the rules for you to exhibit the pavilion. You are so neither arrogant nor impetuous, humble nor overbearing, so I can't help but look at you with admiration. It's just that you don't look like a businessman and don't smell like copper at all. I'm afraid you won't be able to go for long. right?"

After hearing this, Zhan Rong didn't care about it: "You can't be rich for three generations, and you can count where you can. Besides, in the father's last words, doing business is based on conscience, and we are doing business for the daughter's family; all daughters in the world are good, they are all good. We should be proud of the petals from the heavens falling to the mortal world, and don’t worry too much about other things, otherwise we will be punished by heaven.”

"Heh..." Qin Yunguang couldn't help laughing, "Your family is quite open-minded. It's not like doing business, but doing good deeds. You can step back first, and you don't have to send the rest yourself. I will send you tomorrow." People go to Yizhan Pavilion to get it!"

"Yes." Zhan Rong kowtowed and stepped back.

Back at the Yizhan Pavilion, the entrance was deserted, unlike the bustling scene of the past.She couldn't help sighing, walked to the place where Xiaoyi died, squatted down, and saw that the blood on the ground had been washed away.

"Miss, you're back!" The shopkeeper ran out from inside, "The master wants you to go back to the mansion!"

"Yeah." She stood up and said to the servant girl, "Go back to Zhou's house and tell me, I won't go back for dinner tonight."

The servant girl was blessed and left in a small blue silk carriage, while she returned to the Zhanfu in her own large carriage inlaid with gold and jade.

After entering the courtyard and getting off the car, she saw the butler in the corridor, as if scolding the servant, she called out: "The butler——"

"Hey!" The butler immediately agreed, waved the boy away, ran over and asked cheerfully, "Miss, what do you want?"

"I'm having dinner at home today."

"Okay, okay..." The housekeeper nodded immediately, "I prepared meals for the young lady at noon, and if the young lady didn't come after the time, I didn't wait for the young lady. I asked someone to keep it for the young lady, but I didn't move after I went to see it! Miss, can you Have you had lunch?"

"Yes!" Zhan Rong turned around and walked into Zhan Jun's room, "You look like a big brother!"

"I'm concerned about Miss! Who told you that Miss never remembers to eat!" The butler said with a straight face.

"I know I'll always eat when I'm hungry, I won't die!" Zhan Rong went with a smile.Walking outside Zhanjun's house, I saw Jiulian's maid walking up and down the yard, seemingly tending flowers and plants, but she was keeping watch. Seeing her, she raised her voice and shouted inside: "Miss is here!"

As soon as the words fell, the study door was opened, and Zhan Jun smiled and said, "Hurry up."

She lifted her skirt and ran over. When she entered the door, she found several strangers inside. She asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

"They belong to the Second Prince." Zhan Jun said, leading her to the table, and said to those people, "This is my sister Zhan Rong, married to Prime Minister Zhou's son, who just came out of the palace."

The five people on the opposite side, one in coarse gray clothes, holding a long sword, about forty to fifty years old, bowed their hands to her: "I am Li Qingquan."

After hearing this, she couldn't help taking another look, Fushen said, "I've heard the name of Qingquan swordsman for a long time."

Li Qingquan didn't expect that such a rich lady would know him, so he was a little moved, and also smiled: "I made Miss laugh."

Next to him was an old man in Tsing Yi, with gray beard and hair. He looked no less than 70 years old, but his face was full of red and he was full of energy: "I forgot my name. Everyone calls me Layman in Tsing Yi."

The third one was dressed in black, with a hulking back, about thirty years old, and his voice was rough: "Fan Ji, one of the second prince's lieutenants, is here to accompany Li Daxia and Tsing Yi Layman to rescue the green forest hero in the underground palace, and welcome back by the way." Concubine Wang, General Wu and the others! Hearing that something happened to the fourth prince, it seems that we have to make a long-term plan!"

Zhan Rong nodded, and asked: "What green forest hero?"

"We'll talk about this later." Zhan Jun said, pointing to the fourth man, "You should know this man."

She nodded: "It's Mr. Mo." Qin Yunyao's guard - Mo Yan.

Mo Yan nodded, and asked solemnly, "I don't know how my prince and concubine are doing?"

"The concubine is still good, she has been made a concubine Liang by the emperor—"

Hearing this, Mo Yan's expression changed: "What?"

She continued: "My lord is locked in the underground palace, and there is no news for now." After finishing speaking, she looked at the woman next to her with a black veil, "Who is this?"

The woman Fushen said: "Three days ago, I paid homage to the Layman in Tsing Yi as my teacher to study astrology and horoscopes, and the master gave me the title of resentment."

"I complain..."

"It used to be Qin Yunjia..."

"Fourth sister!"

Before Zhan Rong could react, Qin Yunyang shouted and rushed over.He grabbed Qin Yunjia, wanted to take off the veil, and stretched out his hand in front of her, but hesitated.

He looked straight into her eyes: "Are you Fourth Sister?" Just now she only said that she was Tsing Yi's disciple, but she never said...

Qin Yunjia stretched out his hand to hold down the ruined half of his face, and tore off the black veil on the other side: "The other side is ruined, don't look at it."

Qin Yunyang looked at her excitedly: "You...you are still alive!"

"It was Li Daxia and Master who saved me," she said.

That day when she and Mo Yan left the palace, she had nowhere to hide. She remembered the thatched hut where she had stayed in the suburbs for two years after the fire, so she quietly searched for it, but there was no one there.She and Mo Yan stayed temporarily, and they were going to find Qin Yunhuang after finding enough money and carriages.

Three days ago, a group of men appeared in front of the thatched cottage, among them was the old man in Tsing Yi who treated his wounds, and the man who rescued him from the fire - it took five or six years for her to know that his name was Li Qingquan.
