Witch, my Yuan Yang body has been cured again

"..."

Baishe heard the words this guy muttered to himself and didn't know what to say to him. He could only remain silent with mixed feelings.

......

Evening, north of the city.

The north of the city is a relatively quiet area in the entire capital, and is also relatively poor.

The literati and scholars who yearned for romance, romance, fireworks and willows almost eliminated this boring place in the north of the city from their concept of the capital.

The busiest time of the day here is the breakfast shop in the early morning, selling steamed buns, steamed buns, pickled vegetables and white porridge.

As dusk fell, a pawn shop opened its doors, attracting surprised looks from nearby residents.

I wonder which rich family this person is from, with such a good business sense!

Yi Yihan stood by the window of the study, flipping through the old, yellowed account book, staring into thought.

"Were these grants made by my mother, or was it Xu Lishu's mess?"

When she was planning to go out to check, the maid knocked on the door and said:

"Pavilion Master, King Rong is here to visit."

Yi Yihan was stunned for a moment, put the account book on the table, opened the teapot and took a look, then instructed the maid:

"Please come in, Prince Rong, and make another pot of good tea."

When Chu Bushe walked into this "run-down" business, he immediately felt that he was in a different world. The inner hall and courtyard were not big, similar to the clinic where he lived, but the style was very good.

There is a patio, a few stone tables and chairs, and a small patch of bamboo planted in the corner, which is elegant and quiet.

Seeing that Yi Yihan was generous, she gave Xu Lishu's "golden house" that she had obtained through corruption to him, but she didn't expect that she didn't care too much about her own living and transportation.

When Chu Bushe came to Yi Yihan's study and sat down, he was a little confused for a moment.

It's subtly a little awkward.

Originally, there was a trusting relationship between the two of them, one of service and being served. During the healing period, they had played with each other's feet several times.

It’s just that the last time they met, Chu Bu She’s statement of “drawing a clear line” made my mentality a bit complicated this time.

I don’t know whether I should keep my distance or just “remain friends” as I said before.

Fortunately, Ming Surou served as a bridge, and after a brief chat about her departure, Yi Yihan took the initiative to get to the point:

"If you are not looking for me, what is it?"

"Two things. The first thing is that I want to buy you a basic sword manual. I also want to buy you a good sword. It's best if it's old and broken."

Yi Yihan could easily handle such a simple purchasing request. He just told the maid and she would get it when Chu Bushe left.

However, to have a sharp sword that is damaged but still handy... this is something Yi Yihan couldn't quite understand.

Thinking of how Chu Bushe had previously generously given away his wealth in exchange for the Western Expedition Army's tokens and relics, Yi Yihan guessed, could it be that Chu Bushe had left himself penniless?

So they had to settle for the next best thing and buy inferior weapons.

Yi Yihan got up and went out, gave instructions to the maid, and then returned to the study:

"What's the second thing?"

"Regarding the information about Concubine Yin mentioned last time, do you have more detailed details?"

Yi Yihan still said what she said before. She was very strict about intelligence issues and said:

"This is just information for reference, and there is no actual evidence yet."

Seeing Chu Bushe nodded, Yi Yihan talked about the matter in detail.

The Yin family is not a traditional big family. More than ten years ago, it was just a merchant family selling wine. It was able to rise to prominence thanks to a pair of stunningly beautiful twin daughters. In order to curry favor with the royal family, they wanted to present the sisters to the prince, hoping to have a queen and a concubine in the future.

But this plan was naturally stopped by Empress Tianwu, who finally only suggested the marriage plan for her eldest sister Yin Nanzhi.

However, Yin Nanzhi had already secretly decided to spend her life with a knight-errant young man and was pregnant. How could she accept this sudden marriage?

But the emperor's order is hard to disobey. Telling this matter would be tantamount to fooling the emperor, and the Yin family would be wiped out.

The great cause that the Yin family had been planning for a long time almost became the boulder that dragged them into the abyss.

The elders of the Yin family were furious and placed Yin Nanzhi under house arrest, and seemed to force her to have an abortion.

Upon hearing this, Chu Bushe was surprised that there was such a story behind this, and he guessed:

"Could it be that the second sister of the Yin family replaced her elder sister and became the current imperial concubine? Could it be that Jinse is the fetus?"

Yi Yihan did not comment and said:

"I don't know. Since then, one of the Yin sisters disappeared out of thin air and there is no news of their whereabouts. Meanwhile, the Yin family was successfully promoted to the royal family."

Chu Bushe asked curiously again:

"How did Yuhua Pavilion find out this secret? The Yin family can't possibly reveal it, right?"

"This was revealed by the Yin family. After Concubine Yin came to power, Yin Kuan, the eldest son of the Yin family, tried to gain an official position through connections, but failed."

"Why? Is Yin Kuan not up to the task?"

Chu Bu She felt that given Concubine Yin's situation, she should appoint people based on personal connections and expand her own network of connections. At the very least, she could give a sinecure to one of her family members.

“Although Yin Kuan is indeed an idiot, that’s not the reason. Since entering the palace, Concubine Yin has not interacted with her natal family and even treated them coldly.

Yin Kuan was rejected by Concubine Yin and was very angry. He then sold the inside story of the Imperial Concubine replacing the prince with a cat to Yuhua Pavilion in order to get a huge fortune.

Later, this person died for no reason, and it might have been Concubine Yin who did it. "

"..."

Chu Bu She didn't know what to say. This person was truly a talent. Concubine Yin might just hate her natal family, but Yin Kuan really wanted to exterminate the Yin family!

Through the inside story mentioned by Yi Yihan, Chu Bushe made a judgment on Concubine Yin's condition.

For the survival of her family, she replaced her sister Yin Nanzhi and became the wife of the crown prince. Yin Nanzhi's child was born safely and was fostered by Princess Yu, who was named Jinse.

But this sister Yin Nanzhi...may have been killed by the Yin family.

Otherwise it would be difficult to explain why Concubine Yin was so close and doting to Jinse, but so distant and indifferent to her natal family.

......

......

Outside the capital, Tianning Palace.

This was the summer palace bestowed by Empress Tianwu on her daughter-in-law Mi during her reign. It is also the current empress's summer palace.

A strange swordsman with red eyes and a wooden box on his body appeared here, and a faint aura of death emanated from his body.

He wanted to walk behind the beaded curtain, but was stopped by an old eunuch.

"Stop."

The swordsman took out the wooden box, which was his sword box, and there was a package inside it. He put the package in the old eunuch's hand.

"I have completed the task entrusted by the Queen."

Behind the pearl curtain, one can vaguely see a beautiful woman with graceful curves, sitting outside the window, gazing at the mountain scenery.

Her voice was emotionless, giving people a sense of indifference and alienation from the world:

"'Devil Heart Sword' Shi Xian, you are here to visit me. What is your purpose?"

Shi Xian's emotions suddenly surged, the blood in his eyes became more intense, and veins on his forehead bulged like earthworms. He knelt on one knee and clasped his fists in respect.

The old eunuch next to him frowned when he saw his hand, but seeing that he was still calm and not acting rudely, he said nothing.

"I want to know the identity of the current imperial concubine, the whereabouts of the children born in the Yin family in the past, and what the truth was in the Yin family back then!"

Queen Mi drank her tea and said slowly:

"The current Concubine Yin is naturally the second sister of the Yin family. This was tacitly approved by Empress Tianwu later. Otherwise, how could a pregnant woman become her daughter-in-law?

Making those who would bring shame to the dignity of the royal family disappear completely became what Concubine Yin had to do after she came to power. Empress Tianwu later took good care of her, and now the Empress's faction is supporting Concubine Yin. "

The swordsman's face turned pale, and his pupils looked bloodshot. He murmured in astonishment:

"Completely disappear... something that Concubine Yin had to do after taking the throne? Nan Zhi and her child were all taken away by Concubine Yin..."

"Mo Xin Jian, why don't you investigate the cause of death of Yin Kuan, the eldest son of the Yin family?"

"I have checked and found that Yin Kuan died at home after drinking poisoned wine on his own. It seems that the wine was given by the palace... This means that Nan Zhi and her child were...

The Yin family's younger sister is not that kind of person, how could she kill my elder sister! "

"That's the sister of the Yin family you knew in the past, but now she is a vicious concubine that even the palace maids are afraid of. Haven't you asked about her?"

Shi Xian was silent for a while before he said hoarsely:

"The Queen has not fooled me?"

"I have said everything I should say, but whether you can understand it thoroughly or whether you have misunderstood it is your business."

Chapter 58: Mother-in-law Sword

"I would like to ask one more question... I hope the Queen will grant your consent!"

The strange aura emanating from Shi Xian became even stronger. His body was shaking in anger, and his clenched teeth made a harsh grinding sound.

"explain."

The queen's voice came from behind the pearl curtain.

"When will Concubine Yin... leave the palace!"

"Since entering the palace, Concubine Yin has only visited the Yin family a few times, even during festivals. The last time she left the palace was when Empress Tianwu passed away.

But no matter how high her position is, if something happens, she has to leave the palace no matter how reluctant she is."

Upon hearing this, Shi Xian clenched his fists and asked urgently:

"What's going on!"

He was so emotional that he instinctively leaned forward, as if this would help him get closer to his goal. The old eunuch looked displeased and raised his hand to forcibly block the half-crazy man, preventing him from touching the bead curtain.

Shi Xian's body was shaken back five or six steps and he almost fell down.

He glared at the old eunuch and was about to explode, but the queen's voice calmed him down:

"An important elder of the Yin family has passed away. No matter how reluctant Concubine Yin is, she must fulfill the filial duty left by the saint and return home to pay her respects."

"An important elder of the Yin family passed away..."

The man with bloodshot eyes muttered in a trance, and then he was overjoyed, with ecstasy in his eyes. Without saying goodbye, he turned and left, already knowing how he was going to act.

The old eunuch shook his head and scolded on behalf of the queen:

"What a rude and despicable peasant!"

If such vulgar words came from the mouth of the queen, it would be beneath her status. The eunuchs around her sometimes acted as "mouth substitutes" and helped their master to say what she was not convenient to say.

Queen Mi suddenly said:

"Eunuch Cao, the effect of your finger just now is much worse than before."

If eunuchs want to drive people away, they have to do it just right. If they don't, their master will be offended. But they cannot kill people directly when driving them away.

In the past, Eunuch Cao's finger could send people directly from the inner hall to the door. This tested his estimation and control of the enemy's strength, and even more so his control over strength.

And Eunuch Cao had only managed to push Shi Xian back five or six steps, which was considered a miss.

The old eunuch bowed and apologized:

"It is my fault, please forgive me, Queen. The stone string has the Heavenly Demon Killing Induction, and the strength it can exert is inconsistent with the Qi it emits. I misjudged it."

Empress Mi naturally saw this, so she did not blame Eunuch Cao. She gently waved her hand to let him stand up, and sighed:

"This Heavenly Demon Killing Induction is really a rare item. Shi Xian's talent back then was mediocre, but how could the Heavenly Demon Killing Induction be of such great help to him?"

After Eunuch Cao stood up, he said:

"This is a demonic skill. Shi Xian has become half-human and half-ghost through his practice. He even has two extra arms. I'm afraid he will become completely insane in a few days."
