Yan's foreign relatives, give Da Yan a little Xuanwu Gate shock

She first glanced at the sword Ling gave her that Yuan Congqian was holding, then looked at the body on the ground:

"My name is Qiu Fengshu, and I am the young master of Hanyuan Palace. I am the mastermind behind the attack on Yuan Mansion, and I will pay the price."

"Your last name is Qiu?" Yuan Congqian looked at her antlers.

Elafia, is the same race as the one that hates white.

Qiu Fengshu answered whatever was asked, without changing his tone:

"When I was a child, I killed the chieftain of the Water Village. The court wanted me to settle down in the Water Village and pacify the barbarians, but I had no interest in it and chose to come to the capital to be a female official. Later, Empress Yuan wanted me to go. Your aunt said that when the female official returns home from being posted abroad, she will help me find a son-in-law in Jiang Qi so that the Qiu family of Jiang Qi can continue."

She looks only a few years older than Yuan Congqian.

Living in the queen's bedroom and taking good care of herself, her skin looks even whiter and tenderer than that of a 15 or 16-year-old girl.

She grabbed the old man's head with her hands without hesitation and looked at his face:

"Yeah. I recognize him."

"But is it from the Taiwei Mansion?" Yuan Congqian asked.

Qiu Fengshu nodded and lowered his head:

"Yes and no. He is from the Simuitai, and was originally a eunuch. He took care of me for a while in the palace a few years ago. Later, the emperor dismissed the eunuchs, and they had nowhere to go, so he was sent to the Simuitai. His martial arts are a bit stronger than mine, so it's appropriate to send him to kill you."

Qiu Fengshu's speaking has become an art.

Yuan Congqian has already obeyed her.

Huangmen, a profession that has been abolished in Dayan.

Originally it was performed by eunuchs, but now female officials like Qiu Fengshu are employed to take over the task of serving the royal empress.

The previous generation of the Great Yan emperor did not do anything major. One of them was to build the Imperial College, and the other was to announce that the royal family would no longer employ eunuchs. Thanks to him, there are no new eunuchs being produced in the silkworm room of the Great Yan, which can be regarded as two major achievements.

The one who can overcome great difficulties is called Zhen, the one who does not hide anything and does not humiliate himself is called Zhen, and the one who gets rid of the bad habits that have lasted for thousands of years is posthumously named Emperor Zhen.

Of course, although it is a bad habit, Victoria and Ursus actually have a history of employing eunuchs in their royal courts, and it is the same in all Terran countries.

"Then why is it called Taiwei Mansion, but not Taiwei Mansion?"

"The current chief of the Simaitai is the Left General Fu Tingzhao. The Great General Fu Qianming is Fu Tingzhao's elder brother. Since Yuan Tianshi paid homage to the Tianshi Mansion in the capital, the official positions of Fu Qianming and Fu Tingzhao have risen rapidly. Whenever Yuan Tianshi goes to the border, one of them will follow him..."

Qiu Fengshu's eyes were cold as he walked to the man who originally belonged to the Taiwei Mansion and looked carefully at the broken part of his neck. "He was beheaded with a single knife. You didn't kill him. I can smell the herbal odor on him. He must have been sent to the silkworm room the day before yesterday."

Being sent to the silkworm room means being castrated.

It turned out that he was being hunted by two eunuchs whose bodies were twisted due to their disabilities.

So much so that one of them is a madman who treats Yuan Congqian's pistol as a toy and faces Yuan Congqian with it, which is quite similar to the scene in the Naruto mobile game where people stand still and touch each other's heads for fun; the other one likes to peel people's skin with his fingers, which is a twisted mentality... Peeling people's skin is not fatal, but it will be very troublesome and painful to treat.

Yuan Congqian stopped thinking about the two eunuchs and looked at Qiu Fengshu: "How is Hanyuan Palace going to deal with this?"

Qiu Fengshu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Why don't you know? Because the Queen hasn't said anything yet.

"These two people were sent by the Fu brothers, there is no doubt about it."

Yuan Congqian knew that Qiu Fengshu was not very smart, so he explained carefully: "Does the Queen intend to make it known to everyone in the capital city about the evil ambitions of the Fu brothers, or is she planning to hold back and force the Fu brothers to push someone from their faction to take the blame in exchange for benefits?"

Qiu Fengshu looked at Yuan Congqian with eyes as clear as the surface of a lake.

It's like saying: Do you think I'm the one who knows about this?

Yuan Congqian took a deep breath, trying not to let Qiu Fengshu provoke him: "No, sister, you came from the Queen, didn't you say you would report to the Queen and His Majesty first? Didn't the Queen and His Majesty tell you what to do next?"

"The Queen asked me to come here first to protect you."

"What then? Do I have to press the emergency communication terminal again to contact Hanyuan Palace?"

Qiu Fengshu thought for a moment:

"The Queen has ordered that from today on, I will come to Yuan's mansion to teach you calligraphy. As for what you asked about next, she said that the Fu brothers are unruly and domineering, so she has her own arrangements. You should just treat it as being attacked by bandits... After that, you will be asked to kill the Fu brothers with your own hands."

"Isn't this the Queen's instruction? Oh, forget it..."

Yuan Congqian felt a headache and looked at Qiu Fengshu as if he was looking at an alien.

When poor, one holds a grudge; when rich, one retaliates.

What kind of leader would allow such a subordinate to do things? And how could she step by step rise to the position of Shao Changqiu, one of the closest people to the queen? She is so good at talking, learning, singing and being loyal. Did she really get to the top by being stupid?

Judging from what Qiu Fengshu said, "The Fu brothers were probably arranged by the Emperor of Yan to check and balance Yuan Tianshi. The Tianshi Mansion actually needed a general and a left general to fight against them. As a result, when more water was added to the noodles and more noodles were added to the water, Yuan Kerang died suddenly at the border. Now no one can take care of the Fu brothers."

This is undoubtedly a lie.

The Emperor of Yan State is the real emperor. How could he not be able to control the Fu brothers who were promoted to the throne through him?

Chapter 20: Smell the Green Plum

It was impossible to sleep on the second floor of Yuan's mansion, so Qiu Fengshu called two female officials to come and clean up until late at night.

When the night watchman walked out of the watchtower, it was already the fourth watch.

The female officials were obviously skilled in martial arts. They picked up two bamboo raincoats weighing more than 600 kilograms in total and put them into bags. They held one in each hand, pushed open the window of the study and walked out. The other one carried three slightly curved long swords on her back, looking fierce and escorting them all the way.

Yuan Congqian was in the courtyard of Yuan's mansion, looking up at the window sill that had been stepped on by four people, and he was a little speechless: "Why do they all like to walk towards the window of this study?"

"I didn't. I went through the side door."

Qiu Fengshu stood beside Yuan Congqian, with a red silk fluttering in the wind, and no expression on her face.

Yuan Congqian opened his mouth, shook his head secretly, and whispered:

"The study is too bloody, and the smell has spread to the first and second floors. I will go to another small building in the courtyard tonight. I will have to ask the Queen to send a few experts another day. And I will hire the employees of Yuan Mansion tomorrow, and ask for a cook from Fuchunlou..."

He always felt that the defense of Yuan Mansion was ridiculously weak.

It's just that the mansion of the head of Anlefang was just across the street from Yuan's mansion, and the Imperial College was only separated from Yuan's mansion by a few walls. In addition, this was the inner city of a mobile city and the capital under the feet of the emperor, which made Yuan Congqian ignore the modern man's instinct of guarding the home.

This is what being a relative by marriage means. Every step is like walking on thin ice.

He was born to be the leader of the nobles of Da Yan, because he was a noble and relative of Da Yan who was more powerful than the urgent imperial edict posted on the wall. On the other hand, he had no right to refuse this fight in which the loser would be killed, so he could only throw himself into it.

only--

Yuan Congqian sighed inwardly.

Even if we hire guards, they won't be a match for the bamboo raincoat. The Taiwei Mansion and the Simatai have the power to call up military equipment. For example, the soul-losing talisman written in the national defense report is simply impossible to defend against. Swords and magic staffs are not regulated either. In the future, I'm afraid I'll have to hang out with your sister more often in the capital to keep myself safe.

Going up the small building, there is a female servant's residence, which is small and cramped, with unwashed clothes on it.

Putting aside the unsheathed sword given by Ling, Yuan Congqian sat on the bed, and immediately felt severe dizziness.

After being attacked tonight, he was extremely emotional and physically exhausted, relying entirely on the hormones secreted when in danger to hold on. Even though he was now a strong flying winged tiger, his body couldn't bear it and was exhausted.

Qiu Fengshu trotted up the stairs and looked at Yuan Congqian:

"My dear, it's time to go to bed."

"I know. Please trouble Miss Qiu to keep watch for me."

Yuan Congqian responded in a daze, but he didn't even take off his straight-hem robe and fell asleep. People who are often beheaded by their subordinates know that it is a good habit to treat people around you politely, especially your cooks, soldiers and guards.

In Yuan Congqian's already dark vision, Qiu Fengshu's gentle voice came:

"Yeah. Of course."

Yuan Congqian no longer had the energy to answer her.

The fatigue that had been pent up in Yuan Congqian's body was quickly released. His hands and feet had been frozen for several hours, and his right hand was numb. The outline of the movements of various parties in the capital, and the faces of unfamiliar people flashed before his eyes, and the slight tinnitus gradually subsided.

"We must find a cook, but we don't need dishwashing and laundry workers. Let's go check out Yuan's assets tomorrow. As I recall, in addition to the three food and wine shops in Anlefang that have Yuan's shares, there are four in Guangdefang and two in Jinghefang... Hmm, I can't remember..."

Shuffle. Thumb.

There came the sound of a belt being untied from brocade, and then the sound of a metal block being placed.

As Yuan Congqian was dazedly calculating Yuan's assets in the capital, his left side suddenly felt cold, and someone lifted up the quilt. The small bed creaked as if it could not bear the weight, and a pair of hot and delicate hands grabbed Yuan Congqian's left hand and placed it on a large piece of smooth and soft brocade.

Fatigue and confusion flashed through Yuan Congqian's mind at the same time.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a few strands of snow-white hair in front of me.

The long grey hair flowed down her delicate neck, and the girl's skin was faintly pink under the night sky. The red eyes that appeared from her hair were like the vast plains and foothills. It flashed with star-shaped ruby-like light, clearly reflecting Yuan Congqian's face.

The girl took Yuan Congqian's hand, put it under her ear, and seemed to be thinking about something.

"What are you doing?"

The first thought that flashed through Yuan Congqian's mind was that he suspected the girl was also a part of the general's plan.

Secondly, I felt that the distance between him and the girl was a little close.

The girl snorted, "Well, it turns out that the hands of the Queen's nephew are not much different from those of the Queen. Although I have never touched the Queen's hands, after touching yours, I guess the Queen's hands are like this too."

Qiu Fengshu almost finished speaking the second half of his sentence, so Yuan Congqian couldn't hear it clearly.

The brown-haired cat, who was already extremely sleepy, tried hard to open his eyes wide, so as not to be overcome by his feline sleepiness, and used all his strength to make a sound that he could barely hear: "Didn't you say that you would help me keep watch?"

His hands were constantly rubbed by the fine hairs, making them itchy, but he couldn't pull them away.

Qiu Fengshu blinked his ruby ​​eyes:

"I won't fall asleep, don't worry."

"I'm not saying if you'll fall asleep..."

"I will prepare breakfast for you in advance. Also, the calligraphy class is at noon. If you are late, I can hit you with my sword."

Qiu Fengshu said softly.

Yuan Congqian could hardly see any change in expression on the girl's face.

Only when his hands stopped moving and he could rest his head on the girl's head, did she smile, "Well, that's good. I have antlers on my head, and I can't get used to sleeping with them. It's more convenient to use my hands as a pillow."

All the hot air she exhaled gently hit Yuan Congqian's arms and nose.

The winged beast flapped its wings, startling the leaves and shaking the treetops.

It was the first time for Yuan Congqian to be so close to a woman of the same age. He kept closing his eyes and opening them again. Qiu Fengshu was just as she said, she was keeping watch for Yuan Congqian in bed and would not fall asleep. Every time he opened his eyes, Yuan Congqian could see her eyes staring at him through her hair.

Qiu Fengshu has the faint fragrance of plum blossoms on his body.

He didn't notice it at first, but when Yuan Congqian reacted, the quilt was already filled with the scent of plum blossoms from the girl.

Before Yuan Congqian fell asleep completely, he vaguely felt the girl's right hand, with a fragrant smell, tucked in the quilt for him.

Finally, the girl's serious voice:

"...The Queen said, little child, cover yourself with the quilt..."

Chapter 21: Government-built Western Pharmacy

Yuan Congqian slept soundly next to Qiu Fengshu.

The faint scent of plum blossoms made him sleep deeply, as if his body wanted to vent all the fatigue accumulated in the past few days. Yuan Congqian woke up at about noon without realizing it was a dream. A girl with azaleas in her pupils was sitting at the table, looking at him with her hands on her face.

The girl's official seal and sword were not properly put on, her clothes were loose, and there were cold remnants of hot-dried noodles on the table.

"An hour ago, the Queen came to look for her husband."

"What did she say?"

"I didn't do anything, I just touched Langjun's face."

Qiu Fengshu stretched out her slender and soft jade fingers and gently touched Yuan Congqian's face: "That's it."

Yuan Congqian did not express his opinion. He got out of bed, walked to the courtyard downstairs, and washed his face with cold water.

"My dear, are you going to the Imperial College?" The girl followed him, her red silk ribbon flying, "Or are you going to the Imperial Guards' Mansion to seek revenge?"

When she came down, she was fully dressed and was carrying the sword that Ling had given to Yuan Congqian.

Judging from her tone, both things were just ordinary.

"Neither of us are going. We have more important things to do today." Yuan Congqian wiped his cheek.

The order said that the dozens of employees, stewards, and servants of the Yuan Mansion should stay in the dream for a few more days. In other words, it was to remind him not to reveal the truth and just pretend that she had never been there. The Yuan family of the capital had many industries arranged in the inner city, and Yuan Congqian had to complete the transition of the owner as soon as possible.

Once the merchants realized that the Yuan family was not worthy of their support, those who were willing to settle the silver and money according to the Yuan family's share and buy back the ownership of the building were considered to be merchants with conscience. The more likely possibility was that they would make false accounts, take advantage of the young children of the Yuan family, and burn all the dividends that should be paid to the Yuan family this year.

Zhuque Street, Guangdefang, Yunque Pavilion.

Guangdefang is close to the imperial palace and government offices, and is the most expensive place in the inner city of the capital. Yunque Pavilion, whose business scope includes tobacco, alcohol, horse racing, storytelling, opera, and female sumo, has made several generations of Li Shishi famous. It can be said that it makes a fortune every day and is the biggest cash cow of the Yuan family.

The room Yuan Congqian came to was called Mo Duoqing, and a poem was engraved on the door: "I saw you on Huanhua Creek, your eyes were bright, your eyebrows were light. Green clouds were high, and there were small golden dragonflies. I asked him if he was here? He smiled and said: Mo Duoqing."
