On the Self-cultivation of the Concubine

The yamen servant looked at the girl wearing a black veil in front of him in amazement, for a moment he ignored the big battle at the door, stepped forward and shouted angrily: "Who is coming, how come out of it?!"

The one who came out at this moment was the younger sister who was dressed in strong clothes and had long hair. She didn't even look at the servants, she walked straight to Xie Xuanzhao, and when she saw Liu Qinglan next to her, she paused.

Xie Xuanzhao signaled that it was okay, but let her say it's okay.

The younger sister just took off her veiled cap, and said in a cold voice, "Miss, I have already 'persuaded' Ma County Magistrate to open a warehouse to release grain and herbs, and he is in the hall right now."

Xie Xuanzhao nodded, and then looked at the guarded officials, "Master Guoshi heard about the plague in Qingfeng Town, and sent us to investigate. Now your county magistrate has given us full power to deal with it. You go to the town immediately. Go to the center, set up a shed to apply medicine, and maintain order. If something goes wrong, the whole yamen will ask the crime together, and no one can escape."

Those yamen servants looked at a group of solemn guards in front of them, how could they dare to question and resist, and heard that they were sent by the powerful national teacher. This national teacher is the emperor's uncle and the new head of the Xie family. He was really someone who absolutely must not be offended, so he immediately went to work in a hurry.

After they all left, Liu Qinglan excitedly waved her fist, "I really lied to you, hey~"

Xie Xuanzhao pressed her little fist funny, "Don't get too excited, let's go in and see the situation first." She looked at her sister again, "Go over there and supervise them, in case something goes wrong."

"Yes, miss." The younger sister nodded in response, and then turned over handsomely on the tree, stepped on the branches and jumped up to the eaves, and then passed all the way.

Liu Qinglan stood on tiptoe and watched with great interest, "It turns out that she, like us Philip, also likes to climb trees and walk on roofs."

"It seems that you have done a lot of things like stepping on the eaves in the palace." Xie Xuanzhao said quietly from the side.

"Of course, on the first day I..." Liu Qinglan immediately came back to her senses, with a dog-legged smile on her face, "No, it's nothing~"

Xie Xuanzhao looked at her small appearance, couldn't help but reached out and tapped the tip of her nose, "Naughty~ Forget it, I'll argue with you when I get back to the palace, let's get down to business first."

"Yeah, it's more important to do business." Liu Qinglan echoed with a serious face.

Those yamen servants are not treacherous people, they just listen to their superiors.So now I come to set up a shed to apply pesticides, but I don't dare to be negligent, and the work is still serious.

The younger sister sat cross-legged on the eaves, watching the orderly scene below, so she had time to ask the black egg in her pocket, "Why do I feel that the plague is the same as you?"

"..." Heidan didn't want to admit it, but he was a good boy, so he could only tell the truth, "Because we all belong to evil spirits and were born from the Demon Realm."

"Demon Realm?" The younger sister felt that her cognition had been refreshed again.

"There are demons and spirits, so naturally there are demons and immortals." Heidan said naturally, "It's just that after the war between gods and demons ten thousand years ago, everyone agreed to be their own boundaries, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, so basically everyone has nothing to do with each other."

"It's very complicated." The younger sister felt that the world of these demon spirits was more complicated than the human world.

"It's not complicated, it's just that the Demon Realm was destroyed, and our young master lost his trace. According to the divination, she is in the human world, so we took root in the human world. After thousands of years, we finally succeeded. That's why we grew up in the human world." of."

"Young master?" My sister became curious, "Your Demon Realm still has a young master?"

"Of course, but I heard that during the war between gods and demons, she was abducted by a god in the sky, and her whereabouts are still unknown." Heidan said with emotion.

"Then you are saying that these pestilences are being used maliciously just like you?"

Heidan jumped up and down, "It should be, because there are regulations in our Demon Realm that we are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the world, and they want to come and go without a trace, and now they defy the clan rules and come out to endanger the world, so it can be seen that they have been used by people. "

In the yamen, Xie Xuanzhao untied the long whip wrapped around his wrist, stepped on the chair, and looked at Ma County Magistrate who was tied to the leg of the table in front of him.

Magistrate Ma is not at all like a horse, but like a big fat pig, with a fat head and round belly after eating.Now I am so scared that I am incoherent and trembling.

"I... I also obey orders, it's all the idea of ​​Governor Gu, it has nothing to do with me~"

Xie Xuanzhao stroked the long whip in his hand slowly, "Deliberately release evil spirits and create countless innocent souls. Is this a sacrifice to the sky or against the sky?"

"... How dare a small child do such a thing!"

Xie Xuanzhao sneered, "You can stay in the prison and explain these words."

While interrogating, there were footsteps outside.

Liu Qinglan had already dispersed her army of insects and ants, so when the real palace guards came, there was no sense of disobedience.

Xie Xuanzhao and Liu Qinglan went out to welcome them, and the leader was the army commander of the Xie family. Seeing that it was his eldest lady, he tacitly did not reveal anything, but stepped forward and respectfully saluted, "We are waiting for you before your Majesty's order. Came to investigate."

Xie Xuanzhao nodded, "I'll leave this to you."

"Yes."

The army was orderly and filed in. Xie Xuanzhao then turned around and said to Liu Qinglan, "We have nothing to do here. Let's say goodbye to your master and then go back."

Liu Qinglan grabbed her sleeve and said in a low voice: "I feel like something is wrong."

"What's wrong?" Seeing her speaking so mysteriously, Xie Xuanzhao couldn't help leaning over and approaching her.

Liu Qinglan pulled her sleeves and walked forward, "We can talk while walking."

After leaving the Yamen, Liu Qinglan looked around and said worriedly: "The rain has stopped."

The overcast clouds in the sky revealed a ray of sunshine, as if the jewels that had been dusty for a long time were suddenly opened one day, and the bright skylight came out, which was eye-catching.

Only then did Xie Xuanzhao know what was wrong with what she said, "Did someone tip off the news, so these evil spirits of the plague began to retreat?"

"I feel as if they have already completed their task, so they left now. We seem to be one step too late." Liu Qinglan was a little uneasy, "Maybe the master knows better, sister beauty, let's go over there quickly to see the situation .”

Huaidan was busy distributing the herbal medicines in the warehouse with the yamen servants. He came out of his busy schedule and knew that the court had sent someone to deal with the problem. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The losses that have been caused cannot be recovered, but how much can we make up for now? No matter how much. I was busy just now, but I didn't notice when these evil spirits retreated."

Xie Xuanzhao pondered and asked, "Then, do you know where these evil spirits are going?"

"Should go to the people who use them."

Liu Qinglan and Xie Xuanzhao glanced at each other, it wasn't Lin Yulang.And Lin Yulang was on his way back to the palace at this time.

"No, I'm afraid the emperor is in danger." Xie Xuanzhao pursed his lips, Lin Yulang was really going against the sky.

Although she and the emperor have always been at odds, there is no major complaint, not to mention that the ruler of a country suddenly has an accident, and the turmoil is not only the court, but also the people of the world at dawn.

This matter is not as simple as a plague.

"Qinglan, let's go back quickly, maybe we can stop one or two."

Saying goodbye to Huaidan in a hurry, Xie Xuanzhao and Liu Qinglan hurried back to Huaidan's residence and led the horse out.

On the way, I met my younger sister, who was in a hurry and said, "Miss, the evil spirit seems to be heading towards the palace."

"I already know that you will continue to stay here to supervise. After the guards have settled the matter properly, you will come back with them to prevent any accidents." Xie Xuan followed his orders and galloped away with a whip.

Liu Qinglan had already turned into her original form, curled up in her arms.

Listening to the heartbeat of the beauty queen, she felt that she was very nervous and flustered at the moment.

Liu Qinglan couldn't help stretching out her little paws to caress her heart.

Xie Xuanzhao freed a hand to smooth her hair, calmed down his breath, and then said: "I am from the same family as the emperor, and his mother and queen are also the daughter of the Xie family, and my aunt. It is a pity that he died when he was a child." He passed away, because the first emperor didn't like him and only favored noble concubines, so the Xie family proposed to let him go out of the palace and be born in his grandfather's house, so as to avoid the edge of the noble concubine. Finally, with the joint efforts of the Xie family, he successfully ascended the throne and became emperor. Consolidating the regime, I married into the East Palace, probably because of me, the emperor gradually became suspicious of the Xie family, if it wasn't for his elder brother's help, this situation would not be so peaceful for a while. I grew up with the emperor when I was a child, and I know his nature Not bad, but indecisive, greedy for masculinity, and now it would be too miserable to die at the hands of male favorites."

Liu Qinglan didn't know there were so many reasons behind this, and only now did she understand the relationship between the royal family and the Xie family. "I was picked up by the emperor from the mountains. He brought me into the world. He originally wanted me to deal with the queen's sister, but in fact he didn't want me to do anything outrageous. Instead, he thought it was like a child's prank. I didn't do what he said, but I got so many benefits from him, and now thinking about it, I feel really sorry for him."

Xie Xuanzhao touched her little head, "Little fool, he brought you into the palace. He didn't really do it for your own good. He just used you as a shield. Now he is in danger. We will do our best without any guilt. "

"So it's like this." Liu Qinglan felt much better all of a sudden, "Okay, let's do our best."

Last night, Master Xie persuaded the emperor earnestly, and the emperor finally made up his mind to solve the scourge of Lin Yulang with his own hands.

It's just that he suddenly thought that Lin Yulang had been with him for many years, it would be too unfeeling to order to kill him like this, and it would also chill the hearts of the beauties around him, so he urgently summoned Lin Yulang in the middle of the night.

Patriarch Xie sat on the window of the carriage, watching Lin Yulang get on the imperial chariot with indifference, knowing that things might change again, he could only sigh, helpless.

The emperor was indeed soft-hearted and indecisive.Sensing his murderous intent, Lin Yulang immediately crouched low and begged for mercy in a low voice, and then coaxed him gently and understandingly. Finally, the emperor's heart softened completely, and he began to undress and spend the night together.

When he woke up the next day, the emperor was holding the handsome young man in his arms, and he had no intention of killing.

Patriarch Xie rolled up his sleeves, looked calmly at Lin Yulang going down on the chariot, and thought to himself: I still underestimated Lin Yulang's pillow style, it seems that we need to be more cautious in the future.

The author has something to say: Patriarch Xie: This dishonest emperor has no choice but to support him.
