The Queen's Prime Minister Raiders

Yes, she fell asleep.

Qin Shu supported her, ignoring her sleeping position like a dead pig.

The carriage arrived in front of an alley, the driver got off the car and stood aside respectfully, Qin Shu took off her cone hat, picked up the sleepy Zhong Wan and walked into the alley.

There was only one house in the alley, Qin Shu kicked the door in, put Zhong Wan on the reclining chair in the yard like returning to her own home, and looked at the old monk inside.

Master Su Xin nodded, "I have seen Your Majesty."

Qin Shu didn't really want to talk to him, but she had to come.

She said in a deep voice at the threshold, "Will the medicine you gave A Wan back then harm her body?"

Master Suxin shook his head, "I've never tried it."

Qin Shu kicked over the threshold.

Master Suxin smiled wryly, "Your Majesty, the old monk was able to save Lady Zhong's life under the coercion of the former emperor, and His Majesty understands the difficulties."

Qin Shu didn't want to understand, it's not a day or two since the old monk didn't do good things, "Then why are you sending her back to Chang'an?"

"Your Majesty regards Mrs. Zhong as precious as a pearl, but in the hands of the old monk, she is a hot potato. I can't bear it, I can't bear it."

Su Xin recited a Buddha's name and began to chant sutras.

Qin Shu heard him read a passage, "If you want me to rectify the name of Buddhism, it's best to get acquainted."

Su Xin stopped talking immediately, "Mixed with another medicine, it won't kill you, it will damage your mind, but it won't hurt your body."

Qin Shu: "..." Why does it sound more serious.

For the sake of her own life, Su Xin threw out all her trump cards, "This is temporary, better, March to May, slower, decades."

Hearing this, Qin Shu was relieved. If she didn't hurt her body, she was just a little stupid. The symptoms were right.

After Qin Shu turned around, the old monk remained silent, "Your Majesty was still in the womb of Empress Mingxian, and the old monk asserted that the late emperor was destined to have no children. Can this be considered a fulfillment?"

As the sun was setting, Qin Shu stood at the door until it was dark, and finally said, "Forget it."

The old monk continued his efforts, "Then can Your Majesty listen to the old monk now?"

Qin Shu turned around again, folded her hands to see what the old monk was doing, "Is it marriage or children?"

Su Xin smiled, "Marriage is close at hand."

Qin Shu liked to hear these words, so she reluctantly looked at him a little more pleasingly, "Where are the children?"

"Since the marriage is in front of me, I naturally have no biological children."

Qin Shu sneered.

"Your Majesty's sons and daughters are shallow, and there are three sons and one daughter raised under his knees."

The third son was not surprised, Qin Shu looked at the old monk, where did the daughter come from?

Su Xin smiled mysteriously, "I'll know in the future."

All right, Qin Shu took Zhong Wan back to the car, the temporary house is not too big, it's better than exquisite.

Zhong Wan opened her eyes and woke up, only to find that it was already dark, "Why did I fall asleep?"

Qin Shu: "Sick seasick."

Zhong Wan nodded, it should be.

She got into Qin Shu's arms for a while, and acted like a baby, "Your Majesty, I want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

"Go shopping tomorrow." Qin Shu said lazily.

Zhong Wan rubbed her again, "Where's the nougat?"

Throw away all the added nougat, Qin Shu thought of this, feeling a little uncomfortable, "No."

Zhong Wan looked at her for a while, then smiled, "Your Majesty, I want to visit Xunyang County."

Qin Shu didn't hear clearly, or she couldn't believe her ears, "Where are you going?"

"Xunyang, the place where I was born is so close, there is no reason not to go back." Zhong Wan held her face.Being able to face it calmly is probably Qin Shu giving her courage this time.

Qin Shu narrowed her eyes slowly, feeling that Zhong Wan had undergone an indescribable change in the past few days, "Go."

Xunyang County is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River, where the nine waters converge. It has been a land of fish and rice since ancient times. Zhong Wan used his memory to find the house where he lived before.

Qin Shu's heart beat a little faster. Zhong Wan's biological mother lived here. In Zhong Wan's memory, she was seventeen years earlier. For a middle-aged woman, the gap of 14 years is enough for Zhong Wan to notice something. .

The old lady opened the door and saw Zhong Wan in front of the door. The frail old lady rubbed her eyes, looked carefully and hugged Zhong Wan and cried loudly, "Xiu Niang!"

Zhong Wan touched her nose in embarrassment, and called out to her, "Mother."

The old woman cried for a long time and did not stop. Zhong Wan took a deep breath, and secretly supported her back to the house. The old woman had no name, and she lived in the Lane of Fireworks and Willows when she was young. The benefactor gave her a flower name, Yingniang .

After helping Yingniang in, Zhong Wan was free to come out. She sighed, "Your Majesty, why don't you go back first?"

Qin Shu had two things in one mind, while studying carefully, while dealing with her, "Why do you want to go back?"

Zhong Wan was in a dilemma, people like her biological mother should not be liked.

"I'm not welcome?"

"No!" Zhong Wan jumped.

Qin Shu took a few steps back considerately, "I'll wait for you here, call me if you need anything."

Zhong Wan looked at her steadily and went back to the house.

Turning a blind eye to Yingniang's old age, Zhong Wan grinned, "Aniang, how are you doing?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I can live on by myself, but I don't see any news from you, so I thought..." Yingniang began to sob.

In memory, Zhong Wan was very close to her, but now facing Yingniang, she was only strange and uncomfortable, without any feeling of intimacy.

After Yingniang finished crying, Zhong Wan immediately got up and was about to leave, "I'm leaving, Aniang is fine."

Yingniang hiccupped, choked by Zhong Wan's unrestrained gesture, and asked cautiously, "Leave now? Stay for a few days?"

Zhong Wan looked back, "Just look at it, but I can't stay."

Yingniang began to cry again, "Are you still blaming me, aren't you? When the Zhong family called and took you away by force, what could I do?"

Zhong Wan still had some sympathy when mentioning other things, but this matter was not good, Zhong Wan stroked her bangs on her forehead, "Have you used up the five hundred coins?"

Yingniang paused, then burst into tears, "I gave birth to you and raised you, and you still have to argue with me so much! Mrs. Zhong's family only said that you were going to enjoy the blessings, but she didn't expect that she would be so vicious. You sold that kind of place!"

Zhong Wan blinked vigorously, holding back her tears, "Didn't you also sell me to the Zhong family? What's the difference? After seeing you, my wish is fulfilled, so I'm dead from now on."

Yingniang rushed up and hugged her, crying endlessly, "When I was young, there was a war in Yangzhou, and I was exiled to Xunyang with your father, where I became a concubine. When you were a child, there was a famine. The Zhong family refused to take me in, but only took money. But I want to take you away, you have been away for many years, and I miss you every day, so why don't you ask me to look at you more?"

Zhong Wan smiled miserably, "I know, I was young at that time, and I also knew that there was absolutely no reason to watch you starve to death. Are you well-fed now?"

Yingniang knew she was wrong, so she faltered and said, "I've been alone until now, and no one knows when I die in the house."

Then I can't control it anymore, Zhong Wan pushed her fingers away one by one, and left resolutely.

When Zhong Wan saw Qin Shu standing still in front of the door, she suddenly became enlightened.Jumping up to her, she smiled and said, "Where's my sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"

"There will be when you go back, let's go."

A quarter of an hour later, Zhong Wan entered a courtyard with two entrances, "Your Majesty, where did you get so many courtyards?"

"The Qin family's." Qin Shu replied, these things were thrown away before, and Qin Zhuoyu slowly gathered them back later.

Zhong Wan was amazed, "Did the late emperor give you a dowry?"

Qin Shu looked up at the ceiling and decisively chose to shut up and enter the bedroom.

Osmanthus fragrans are fragrant everywhere during the season, and the freshly baked osmanthus cake is even more delicious. Zhong Wan has not stopped eating after eating the whole plate.

Qin Shu came out of the study and held her hand, "Too much is not appropriate."

Zhong Wan pursed her lips, put down the pastry and clapped her hands, "Got it."

Qin Shu didn't sit down, she seemed to be hesitating for something, Zhong Wan had never seen her look like this before, so she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

A letter was presented in front of her, and Qin Shu said, "This is the residence of Zhong's family, the former imperial merchant. I remember that this imperial merchant specializes in silk and satin, and often hangs around the Jiangnan and Jianghuai areas."

Zhong Wan maintained one action for a long time, without moving the letter, she looked up at Qin Shu. She did not doubt that Qin Shu knew everything about her past, but she still underestimated herself after the fact.

It's a bit embarrassing, Qin Shu is the proud girl of heaven, on the contrary, she is just an insignificant ordinary woman.

Zhong Wan touched the table and threw the remaining half of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake into her mouth, "Why is your Majesty looking for this?"

Qin Shu pressed her hand again, and said seriously, "It's okay to say I did it on purpose, I want you to face it, and then I found out that it's nothing."

Zhong Wan felt that something was in her eyes, she rubbed her eyes, and the more she rubbed, the more itchy she said, "Your Majesty, I want to ask something, maybe I've damaged my brain, and I can't remember many things clearly, I remember Mistress Zhong betrayed me I entered somewhere, I don’t remember where it was.”

Qin Shu grabbed her hand with an expression that obviously refused to let her speak.

Her eyes became more comfortable, Zhong Wan pushed her hand away, "Your Majesty wants me to face it, do you mind telling me about this?"

12. Real age

Qin Shu was sure that Zhong Wan had discovered the discrepancy between her memory and reality. She didn't know if it was a good thing, but when faced with Zhong Wan's question, she wrote a few words on Zhong Wan's palm.

After repeating it silently for several times, Zhong Wan finally recognized the words, it is one of the best brothels in Chang'an City.

Zhong Wan covered herself in a panic, "Is she out of her mind?"

After all, she is the daughter of the Zhong family, what do you think when she is sold to a brothel?However, the Zhong family is only well-known in Jiangnan, so no one knows who she is in Chang'an City.

Qin Shu Ruo Ruo Wu avoided her face, "The Zhong family's family is in trouble, and they are short of a sum of money and have not been able to repay it."

Zhong Wan sighed, accepted the explanation, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, "Could it be that you owe money to the court?"

Qin Shu shook her head, Zhong Wan patted her heart, "I mean, what a coincidence..."

"At the beginning of the new dynasty, father didn't like extravagance, so he withdrew about [-] to [-] percent of the imperial merchants. Several relatively large imperial merchants in the previous dynasty wanted to operate in Beijing and gave them a lot of money, but what they said in front of father
