Datang traitor
Chapter 99
Changsun Wuji looked at Qin Yuan in surprise, and asked him to repeat what he wanted to do.
"Self-recommendation!" Qin Yuan deliberately enunciated the words clearly so that Changsun Wuji could hear them clearly.
After Changsun Wuji stared at Qin Yuan for a moment, he cupped his hands in admiration and said, "I've lived for so long, and I've never seen you with such a big face."
Qin Yuan smiled: "Then I have enriched my eldest grandson's experience today."
Changsun Wuji felt that Qin Yuan was mocking him for his lack of knowledge.
Changsun Wuji immediately cupped his hands and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, I have never seen a minister ask for favor. This is unavoidable—too humble."
In fact, the words that Changsun Wuji wanted to say in his heart were much uglier than the three words 'not self-effacing'. If it wasn't for the fact that he was in the court and wanted to maintain elegance and self-cultivation, he would definitely scold Qin Yuan on the spot.
Smelly shameless, give him beauty!
Li Shimin twitched his eyebrows, the surprise in his eyes had faded away, and he glanced at Qin Yuan with a smile.
Then, Li Shimin nodded, which seemed to echo Changsun Wuji's words.
"This is the first time I have seen a minister who can recommend himself like this." Li Shimin asked Qin Yuan where he had the courage to do such a thing.
"Your Majesty, there are too many people in the court who have the same thoughts as the ministers. The ministers are just expressing what they want in their hearts, and they are not deceiving the emperor at all." Qin Yuan quickly expressed to Li Shimin sincerely that his loyalty to Li Shimin is heaven and earth Can learn from.But it is inevitable that people want to go to high places, so naturally he cannot avoid vulgarity.
Of course, Qin Yuan didn't dare to say such things at any time, because the harvest of Qin Yuan's farm was sugarcane like yesterday and today.Qin Yuan knew that Li Shimin was in a very happy mood, to the extent that Li Shimin would not be angry even if he stepped on a pile of shit.That's why Qin Yuan dared to take this opportunity to recommend himself, because even if things didn't work out, Li Shimin was in a good mood anyway, and he had really made a contribution, and there wouldn't be any bad results in the end.
"In ancient times, there were virtuous people who did not shy away from relatives, but now there are ministers who do not shy away from themselves!" Qin Yuan said impassionedly to Li Shimin with his chest up.
Seeing Qin Yuan like this, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing out loud.
"The face is as big as a basin!" Changsun Wuji couldn't help but interrupted to scold Qin Yuan.
"What Qin Yuan said is true. How many officials do not seek fame? Only when rewards and punishments are clearly defined can everyone be encouraged to do things for the country seriously and steadfastly." Fang Xuanling seconded.
Changsun Wuji squinted at Fang Xuanling: "The meaning of listening to Fang Fu's shooting is to support Qin Yuan's self-recommendation as a first-class waiter?"
Fang Xuanling humbly bowed slightly to his eldest grandson Wuji: "I just think that rewards and punishments are very important for Yu Guo."
Fang Xuanling is still a good person, he knows how to read Li Shimin's meaning, he helps to recommend Qin Yuan, but he doesn't want to offend his eldest grandson Wuji.
Wei Zheng was not as thorough as Fang Xuanling, and he said directly: "Even if he doesn't recommend himself and is rewarded according to merit, Qin Yuan can also be worthy of the first-rank Marquis's favor."
Changsun Wuji glanced at Wei Zheng unhappily again, and suddenly found that there seemed to be no ministers to support him.Changsun Wuji looked at Wen Yanbo, the only one among the ministers present who did not express his opinion.
Wen Yanbo immediately felt that Rumang was on his back. He looked at Changsun Wuji, then at Qin Yuan, and then at Li Shimin.At this time, Li Shimin seemed to want to know what Wen Yanbo was thinking, and looked at Wen Yanbo.
The two monarchs and ministers suddenly looked at each other, Wen Yanbo quickly withdrew his gaze, bowed his head and saluted Qin Li Shimin.
"minister……"
Qin Yuan, Fang Xuanling, and Wei Zheng also looked at Wen Yanbo at the same time.
"A few days ago, I raised a little giant salamander. It was a small one with four short claws. It was clumsy when it got up, and its cry was as small as a baby's." Wen Yanbo said.
Changsun Wuji felt that Wen Yanbo was avoiding the problem, so he changed the subject so bluntly and took refuge.This is a good sign, it shows that Wen Yanbo is afraid of himself.Changsun Wuji felt complacent, and asked Wen Yanbo directly whether he supported his own ideas or Qin Yuan's self-recommendation for Qin Yuan.
Wen Yanbo told Changsun Wuji that he was expressing his attitude on this matter.
"Oh? Why didn't I hear it?" Changsun Wuji asked back.
Li Shimin, Qin Yuan and the others also didn't understand why Wen Yanbo suddenly proposed to raise a giant salamander. What does this have to do with his statement?
"The reason why I will raise giant salamanders is because I have seen the giant salamanders in Qin Siqing's house. I thought it was interesting, so I made a small one to tease. But when I grow up, I will not dare to continue to raise him. I will definitely release him. The reason why I have this idea is also because I have seen the giant salamander of Qin Siqing's family."
"What exactly are you trying to say? Why am I getting more and more unable to understand your words?" Changsun Wuji was very puzzled.
In fact, not only him, Li Shimin and others were also surprised, but it was precisely because of the strangeness that their appetite was whetted, so they looked forward to what Wen Yanbo would say next.Li Shimin signaled his grandson Wuji not to interrupt, so Wen Yanbo continued.
"When His Majesty rewarded Qin Yuan's new house, everyone thought that the house was haunted, because the house would make terrifying noises at night. Qin Siqing had the courage to see through the rumors of the haunted house and found the person who called the ghost. The source is the giant salamander. If you were an ordinary person, you would hear the hissing sound coming out of the backyard every night, and you would be scared out of your wits. When you see this giant salamander, you definitely don’t want to keep it. Hurt them a little, even the servants in the mansion later repaired the garden and asked to avoid their nests.
It was precisely because I had seen Qin Siqing treat the giant salamander like this, and found it heartwarming and interesting, that I got one out of curiosity.It is precisely because I have heard that the giant salamanders of Qin Siqing's family make scary calls in the middle of the night that I dare not keep the raised giant salamanders at home. "
Wen Yanbo then explained to Li Shimin that the reason why he said this was to let everyone know that Qin Yuan was courageous, resourceful, benevolent and kind-hearted, and he even treated a giant salamander like this, let alone people.He believed that Qin Yuan's temperament would not change because of his promotion and high status.
"Since that's the case, what's the point of rewarding such a person?" Wen Yanbo asked back.
This is an example, vivid and natural, more convincing.
Today, three ministers agreed to reward Qin Yuan, only Changsun Wuji opposed it, and the result is self-evident.
"According to the logic, it's not too much to confer a duke, as long as it's a first-rank marquis." Li Shimin deliberately teased Qin Yuan, he wanted to see if Qin Yuan knew that he could get a higher entitlement, would he be willing? I regret it, and continue to ask for it.
"One grade is just right, if it is too full, the water will overflow." Qin Yuan is content and happy, and one grade is enough.
"Okay, I will allow your self-recommendation. In the future, you must not let down the favor and trust of the widow." Li Shimin reminded Qin Yuan with a smile, remember to be humble and guard against arrogance and impetuosity.
Qin Yuan agreed one by one, and firmly stated that he would not.
"From now on, I will do my best to make my emperor happy!" Qin Yuan saluted and thanked Li Shimin loudly.
Li Shimin smiled with relief, now he is very willing to trust Qin Yuan.
Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng then negotiated with Li Shimin on the specific matters of sending troops to assist Tuli Khan.Afterwards, everyone withdrew from Liangyi Hall and left Tai Chi Palace together.
Both Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng smiled and congratulated Qin Yuan.Fang Xuanling only praised Qin Yuan, but didn't say much.Wei Zheng talked earnestly to Qin Yuan for an incense stick of time, and told him to remember to listen to the warnings from the sages, and to be conscientious, humble and prudent as always.
Qin Yuan obediently agreed, and smiled to ask Wei Zheng to rest assured.
After watching Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng leave, Qin Yuan heaved a sigh of relief and immediately felt at ease.He jumped to Wen Yanbo's side happily, thanking him for recommending himself in the court just now.
"What you said was really good, well-founded, and so convincing that it directly made His Majesty decide his mind." Qin Yuan glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji who hadn't left yet, and said deliberately, "It's not like someone who doesn't help That's all, I wish I could be dragged down. People, it's terrible, after eating so many cabbage, radishes, peaches, and cherries from me... I can't get back any sincerity and kindness."
"Don't talk nonsense, grandson Gong has already recommended you. He wants you to be well. In fact, I almost want to side with Grandpa Grandson, but I only speak for you because you are very eager." Wen Yanbo reminded Qin Yuan to be careful, "You have said it yourself that a big tree attracts the wind. You are so eager to ask for favors now, even if you deserve it, you will still attract criticism. The most indispensable thing in this court is jealousy and jealousy."
"That's right, you still don't appreciate my kindness and treat my kindness like a donkey! Do you really think that I will retaliate against you in court for such an ordinary matter?" Changsun Wuji immediately echoed Wen Yanbo's words, scolding Qin Yuan for not knowing good from bad.
Qin Yuan knew that Changsun Wuji wanted to take revenge on him, but it was not serious.He knew exactly what kind of person Changsun Wuji was, but it was just a poisonous mouth, not a bad heart.
"Okay, let's forget about it." Qin Yuan sighed pretending to be magnanimous.
Changsun Wuji was upset, he said it as if Qin Yuan was giving him way because he was too fussy.
"Just do it, someday you won't be able to cry, don't come to me!" Changsun Wuji got into the carriage immediately, and ordered the driver to leave in a violent voice.
Qin Yuan took out a small bundle of sugar cane from the cart and ordered his subordinates to put it on Wen Yanbo's carriage.Wen Yanbo was already used to Qin Yuan giving him these snacks, so he accepted it naturally. After thanking Qin Yuan with a smile, he and Qin Yuan went back to their respective offices in a carriage.
Everyone in Dali Temple came to congratulate Qin Yuan when they heard the news that Qin Yuan had been ennobled as a first-rank marquis.
Qin Yuan couldn't stand these things, so he asked everyone to go about their business as usual, and there was no need to compliment him.
"You have the nerve to talk about others. In terms of compliments, no one in the entire Tang Dynasty can compare to you." Dai Zhou said with emotion.
Sun Fujia was so teased that he laughed straight away, and quickly seconded Dai Zhou's words.
"Be careful, and now the Yushitai is watching you again." Sun Fujia reminded Dai Zhou.
"Followed again?" Dai Zhou was surprised, "Mei Ziyan died last time, isn't it enough for them to calm down for a while?"
"It's because of Mei Ziyan's death that he cares more about it, so he doesn't stop. Now that Siqing is enfeoffed as a first-rank marquis, the scenery is boundless, and he will notice it even more." Sun Fujia has a classmate who is in Yushitai, so he knows Some of their internal news.
Dai Zhou became worried. It would be very miserable for the ministers to be targeted by those at Yushitai. From words, deeds, morality, political achievements to living at home, eating and drinking, they were all under the supervision of Yushitai.Last time, there was a captain who was upright and honest, but because of his informality, he did not dress carefully when he entered the palace, and he did not wear a fish bag around his waist. The censors said that he did not respect the king enough.Later, I made some small chores to illustrate, and finally demoted the official position of the captain by one level with "reasonable evidence".
"Now that I have said this, you two don't want to spread it. Qin Siqing knows the situation, so he can figure out how to deal with it. Don't sell me out." Sun Fujia agreed when he saw Qin Yuan and Dai Zhou After nodding, he continued, "My colleague told me quietly that now in Yushitai, there is a deliberate trend of flattery inside and outside the court hall because they are thinking about joining Qin Siqing."
"Oh, it's not easy!" Dai Zhou sighed the fastest, and then glanced at Qin Yuan, "You have this problem, why don't you change it?"
"What should I change? What's wrong with me? If I walk upright and sit up straight, I'm afraid of those ghosts who break my mouth? I deserve this rank, so I'll let them let them come!" This is the bottom line and will never be tolerant.
Qin Yuan yawned twice in succession. He was too tired to solve the case a few days ago, and now he was tired.
Both Dai Zhou and Sun Fujia persuaded him to go to rest.Qin Yuan is not in a good mood, because he has already reached the first rank, and his body is still like an ordinary person, there is no change in the gods, and he still feels so tired.
Maybe it's because the official imperial decree ennobling him as a Marquis of the First Rank hasn't come down yet?Hope was rekindled in Qin Yuan's heart, looking forward to the arrival of the imperial decree.
Wang Zhen came back to report to Qin Yuan that Princess Anping had already woken up.
"Now her whole body has been wrapped in a white cloth like a pupa, unable to move, but she has been struggling unwillingly, shouting to see Qin Siqing."
Wang Zhen asked Qin Yuan if he still wanted to see Princess Anping.
"Whoever she thinks she is, she can see me if she wants to. This case is closed. The rest of the matter will be handled by someone else, so we don't have to worry about it." Qin Yuan ordered Wang Zhen to just ensure that the soul-locking needle on Princess Anping's head is in place. That's good, don't worry about other things, no matter what Princess Anping says, don't bother.
Wang Zhen agreed.
Qin Yuan couldn't help thinking of Lu Qiaoer. He has been busy investigating the case these days and didn't pay attention to her, so he asked someone to invite Lu Qiaoer to come.
"Brother Qin finally remembered me. I was afraid that Brother Qin would forget me before it would be too late." Lu Qiaoer sighed.
"What's too late?" Qin Yuan asked.
"Aye wrote a letter, saying that my grandmother is seriously ill and misses me very much, and hopes that I will go back. I originally planned to take Shengyuan back to my hometown in the past two days, but now that I have packed my things, I am about to sell the house and get the money. Let's go." Lu Qiaoer said to Qin Yuan with a smile, "Seeing you today, I'm afraid it's a farewell. But it doesn't matter, I know that Brother Qin is in Chang'an City, and I may come back to play with Brother Qin in the future."
"You are welcome at any time! How much is your house? I will buy it. Recently, I just want to find a place to settle my crimes." Qin Yuan immediately handed over the matter to Fang Xi to handle.
Lu Qiaoer wanted to refuse, but after hearing Qin Yuan's explanation that it was just a coincidence and the reason for buying the house was indeed legitimate, Lu Qiaoer happily thanked Qin Yuan, offered the most reasonable price, and went through the transfer procedures with Fang Xi.When Fang Xi came to report back, Qin Yuan asked Fang Xi to prepare a carriage and take a team of people to escort Lu Qiaoer and Sui Shengyuan back to Anding Village.
"The people in the village treated me very well back then. This is a kindness. You can prepare some gifts and go, don't worry about the price."
After Fang Xi took the order to leave, the last group of people who investigated the Taoist temple in Shangzhou rushed back.
After a careful household registration check, the yamen agents finally found out the identity of Daochang Min of Jing'an Temple.She used to be a female official next to Emperor Sui Yang and was recommended by Princess Anping.Later, Daoist Min saw that the country was in ruins, so Daoist Min left with the twelve beauties carefully cultivated by the princess' mansion.
Qin Yuan speculated that after Princess Anping was reborn with the blood of the phoenix, she should have found the place where Daochang Min lived.
Since then, the two have been working together, and they don't know how to learn about the Yirenmeng, so they plan to use the Yirenmeng to deal with Li Tang.Because the Alien League is very mysterious and difficult to investigate, Princess Anping and Daochang Min must have spent a lot of thought to find the leader of the Alien League Zhou Yun through Sui Fengyun and approach him, but the plan failed.The two of them could only settle for the next best thing and continue to use Sui Fengyun.After working so hard for several years, they finally had the hope of using Yirenmeng to bring down Li Tang. In the end, because of his interference, the two failed again.Princess Anping jumped over the wall in a hurry and used her last move, but it still failed.
After Qin Yuan figured this out, he went to see Princess Anping and explained his guess to him.Princess Anping tried her best to hide her emotions while listening to Qin Yuan's narration, but Qin Yuan still judged from her reaction that the guesses he had made were almost inseparable.
"just kill me."
Princess Anping was lying on the ground with a dead face. Her whole body, except her head, was tightly wrapped in white cloth, and she could not move at all.This was a great humiliation to her, making her life worse than death.Thinking of the darkness and loneliness that she will face for hundreds, thousands of years or even eternal life, Princess Anping feels that life is worse than death.
"Please, kill me."
"Time is the best medicine to dilute everything." Qin Yuan only replied this sentence, turned around and left.
Princess Anping looked at his decisive back and asked Qin Yuan loudly: "Who are you? You are not an ordinary person. I am already like this. Don't you dare to tell me who you are?"
Qin Yuan continued walking, ignoring Princess Anping.
Three days later, Princess Anping was buried in a remote and deep place.There are not many insiders, and they are all reliable people, without any worries.After all, not everyone knows about Princess Anping's rebirth and immortality.The only person who knows the secret of Princess Anping's rebirth and the place of burial is Qin Yuan himself, not even Li Shimin.
After Princess Anping's burial is completed, the whole case will be completely concluded.
That night, Qin Yuan revived Zhou Xiaolu in his room.
After Zhou Xiaolu woke up, the moment she saw Qin Yuan, her eyes filled with tears, and she threw herself into Qin Yuan's arms and began to cry.
Qin Yuan smiled and patted Zhou Xiaolu's shoulder, and handed Zhou Xiaolu a handkerchief and a sugar cane.
Zhou Xiaolu looked at the sugar cane and was stunned.
"Eat it, you'll be happier if you eat it." Qin Yuan looked at Zhou Xiaolu's thin face, and suddenly remembered how miserable she was when she vomited blood before she died, and felt distressed suddenly.
Zhou Xiaolu took the sugarcane and laughed through tears, "I'm happy even if I don't eat it now. I didn't expect that I would come back to life. I thought I would just die like that, and I would never see Brother Qin again. How did Brother Qin know that I was sick? Did Qingqing tell you?"
Qin Yuan saw Zhou Xiaolu's sincere and puzzled expression, and Fang realized that people who were resurrected by his immortal blood did not remember what happened a while ago.
Qin Yuan nodded and told Zhou Xiaolu that it was indeed Gu Qingqing who told him that she was seriously ill.
"Brother Qin is causing trouble," Zhou Xiaolu said with a complicated expression after learning what happened next, as if he had thought a lot in a flash.
Qin Yuan stared at Zhou Xiaolu and didn't speak for a while.
Zhou Xiaolu touched her face, felt that it was still her face, and her body was also her own, so she asked Qin Yuan puzzled why he looked at her like this.
"You seem to have lost the 'unchanging shock'." Qin Yuan looked at Zhou Xiaolu who was still expressive at the moment, and said.
"Really?" Zhou Xiaolu raised her eyebrows, looked back at Qin Yuan suspiciously, and then jumped off the ground to look in the mirror.Seeing her snow-white feet stepping on the ground like that, Qin Yuan ordered her to put on her shoes quickly.
"Really! I don't need to deliberately do it now, I have a lot of expressions!" Zhou Xiaolu bowed and looked in the mirror, and was pleasantly surprised to make various expressions to himself in the mirror, "Surprised, sad, sad, no I frowned happily, and stretched my face when I felt uncomfortable...it was fun!"
After Zhou Xiaolu tossed her face with various expressions, she turned her head happily and looked at Qin Yuan with bright eyes.
"Thank you Brother Qin for turning me into a normal person."
Qin Yuan still stared at Zhou Xiaolu's feet, ordering her to put on her shoes quickly.
"If you die from catching a cold, I won't be able to save you. To be precise, no matter what happens to you and you die in the future, I won't be able to save you again. This life is so cherished."
"I see, I was wrong just now, not wearing shoes." Zhou Xiaolu hurriedly apologized, ran back to put on her shoes, turned her head to look in the mirror, but was stopped by Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan picked up a book at random and asked Zhou Xiaolu to read it to see if her photographic memory was still there.
Zhou Xiaolu promised that after reading the book twice, he closed his eyes and recalled, and didn't remember the contents of the book at all.
"It's not easy to use a photographic memory anymore, it's pretty good." Zhou Xiaolu said regretfully, "But it's good that I can live, there's no need to worry about it, every day in the future will be like picking it up , I am taking advantage of it, so I am very content."
Zhou Xiaolu grinned at Qin Yuan and bowed to leave.
"What are you going to do?" Qin Yuan asked.
At this time, the black-and-white cat jumped in from the window and ran to Qin Yuan's legs to rub against them.
Qin Yuan hugged the black and white flowers.
"Naturally go back to Qingqing, she must be very worried about me."
Zhou Xiaolu saw the cuteness of the black and white flowers, so she came over and petted the cat twice.Zhou Xiaolu's fingers were slender and tender, and the black and white flowers felt very comfortable being stroked, so she squinted her eyes and snored.
"The cat just came back from outside, but its stomach is bulging. I don't know if it caught mice outside or someone fed it."
"Hey someone." Qin Yuan said.
"How lucky, so many people like you and give you delicious food, but we have to earn food for ourselves." Zhou Xiaolu playfully poked Hei Hua's head with his finger, making Hei Hua's head go crazy. The snoring was louder.
Qin Yuan ordered Zhou Xiaolu to rest in the room first, and Gu Qingqing would naturally come to see her tomorrow.
The next day, when Gu Qingqing entered the door, she saw Zhou Xiaolu teasing the cat with a wisp of chicken feather, and was overjoyed.
"Brother Qin really didn't lie to me, you've recovered after a few days of rest!"
Gu Qingqing hugged Zhou Xiaolu happily, with tears in her eyes.Then the two sisters started chatting, and finally talked about Gu Qingqing's marriage.Gu Qingqing told Zhou Xiaolu that she was almost engaged to the son of Zhang's family in the restaurant next door.
"Good thing, I will definitely give you a big gift to congratulate you on your wedding."
"This gift must be given, but you must give it according to my request." Gu Qingqing suddenly asked with a serious face.
"Self-recommendation!" Qin Yuan deliberately enunciated the words clearly so that Changsun Wuji could hear them clearly.
After Changsun Wuji stared at Qin Yuan for a moment, he cupped his hands in admiration and said, "I've lived for so long, and I've never seen you with such a big face."
Qin Yuan smiled: "Then I have enriched my eldest grandson's experience today."
Changsun Wuji felt that Qin Yuan was mocking him for his lack of knowledge.
Changsun Wuji immediately cupped his hands and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, I have never seen a minister ask for favor. This is unavoidable—too humble."
In fact, the words that Changsun Wuji wanted to say in his heart were much uglier than the three words 'not self-effacing'. If it wasn't for the fact that he was in the court and wanted to maintain elegance and self-cultivation, he would definitely scold Qin Yuan on the spot.

Li Shimin twitched his eyebrows, the surprise in his eyes had faded away, and he glanced at Qin Yuan with a smile.
Then, Li Shimin nodded, which seemed to echo Changsun Wuji's words.

Qin Yuan, Fang Xuanling, and Wei Zheng also looked at Wen Yanbo at the same time.
"A few days ago, I raised a little giant salamander. It was a small one with four short claws. It was clumsy when it got up, and its cry was as small as a baby's." Wen Yanbo said.
Changsun Wuji felt that Wen Yanbo was avoiding the problem, so he changed the subject so bluntly and took refuge.This is a good sign, it shows that Wen Yanbo is afraid of himself.Changsun Wuji felt complacent, and asked Wen Yanbo directly whether he supported his own ideas or Qin Yuan's self-recommendation for Qin Yuan.

People, it's terrible, after eating so many cabbage, radishes, peaches, and cherries from me... I can't get back any sincerity and kindness."
"Don't talk nonsense, grandson Gong has already recommended you. He wants you to be well. In fact, I almost want to side with Grandpa Grandson, but I only speak for you because you are very eager." Wen Yanbo reminded Qin Yuan to be careful, "You have said it yourself that a big tree attracts the wind. You are so eager to ask for favors now, even if you deserve it, you will still attract criticism. The most indispensable thing in this court is jealousy and jealousy."
"That's right, you still don't appreciate my kindness and treat my kindness like a donkey! Do you really think that I will retaliate against you in court for such an ordinary matter?" Changsun Wuji immediately echoed Wen Yanbo's words, scolding Qin Yuan for not knowing good from bad.
Qin Yuan knew that Changsun Wuji wanted to take revenge on him, but it was not serious.He knew exactly what kind of person Changsun Wuji was, but it was just a poisonous mouth, not a bad heart.
"Okay, let's forget about it." Qin Yuan sighed pretending to be magnanimous.
Changsun Wuji was upset, he said it as if Qin Yuan was giving him way because he was too fussy.
"Just do it, someday you won't be able to cry, don't come to me!" Changsun Wuji got into the carriage immediately, and ordered the driver to leave in a violent voice.
Qin Yuan took out a small bundle of sugar cane from the cart and ordered his subordinates to put it on Wen Yanbo's carriage.Wen Yanbo was already used to Qin Yuan giving him these snacks, so he accepted it naturally. After thanking Qin Yuan with a smile, he and Qin Yuan went back to their respective offices in a carriage.
Everyone in Dali Temple came to congratulate Qin Yuan when they heard the news that Qin Yuan had been ennobled as a first-rank marquis.
Qin Yuan couldn't stand these things, so he asked everyone to go about their business as usual, and there was no need to compliment him.
"You have the nerve to talk about others. In terms of compliments, no one in the entire Tang Dynasty can compare to you." Dai Zhou said with emotion.
Sun Fujia was so teased that he laughed straight away, and quickly seconded Dai Zhou's words.
"Be careful, and now the Yushitai is watching you again." Sun Fujia reminded Dai Zhou.
"Followed again?" Dai Zhou was surprised, "Mei Ziyan died last time, isn't it enough for them to calm down for a while?"
"It's because of Mei Ziyan's death that he cares more about it, so he doesn't stop. Now that Siqing is enfeoffed as a first-rank marquis, the scenery is boundless, and he will notice it even more." Sun Fujia has a classmate who is in Yushitai, so he knows Some of their internal news.
Dai Zhou became worried. It would be very miserable for the ministers to be targeted by those at Yushitai. From words, deeds, morality, political achievements to living at home, eating and drinking, they were all under the supervision of Yushitai.Last time, there was a captain who was upright and honest, but because of his informality, he did not dress carefully when he entered the palace, and he did not wear a fish bag around his waist. The censors said that he did not respect the king enough.Later, I made some small chores to illustrate, and finally demoted the official position of the captain by one level with "reasonable evidence".
"Now that I have said this, you two don't want to spread it. Qin Siqing knows the situation, so he can figure out how to deal with it. Don't sell me out." Sun Fujia agreed when he saw Qin Yuan and Dai Zhou After nodding, he continued, "My colleague told me quietly that now in Yushitai, there is a deliberate trend of flattery inside and outside the court hall because they are thinking about joining Qin Siqing."
"Oh, it's not easy!" Dai Zhou sighed the fastest, and then glanced at Qin Yuan, "You have this problem, why don't you change it?"
"What should I change? What's wrong with me? If I walk upright and sit up straight, I'm afraid of those ghosts who break my mouth? I deserve this rank, so I'll let them let them come!" This is the bottom line and will never be tolerant.
Qin Yuan yawned twice in succession. He was too tired to solve the case a few days ago, and now he was tired.
Both Dai Zhou and Sun Fujia persuaded him to go to rest.Qin Yuan is not in a good mood, because he has already reached the first rank, and his body is still like an ordinary person, there is no change in the gods, and he still feels so tired.
Maybe it's because the official imperial decree ennobling him as a Marquis of the First Rank hasn't come down yet?Hope was rekindled in Qin Yuan's heart, looking forward to the arrival of the imperial decree.
Wang Zhen came back to report to Qin Yuan that Princess Anping had already woken up.
"Now her whole body has been wrapped in a white cloth like a pupa, unable to move, but she has been struggling unwillingly, shouting to see Qin Siqing."
Wang Zhen asked Qin Yuan if he still wanted to see Princess Anping.
"Whoever she thinks she is, she can see me if she wants to. This case is closed. The rest of the matter will be handled by someone else, so we don't have to worry about it." Qin Yuan ordered Wang Zhen to just ensure that the soul-locking needle on Princess Anping's head is in place. That's good, don't worry about other things, no matter what Princess Anping says, don't bother.
Wang Zhen agreed.
Qin Yuan couldn't help thinking of Lu Qiaoer. He has been busy investigating the case these days and didn't pay attention to her, so he asked someone to invite Lu Qiaoer to come.
"Brother Qin finally remembered me. I was afraid that Brother Qin would forget me before it would be too late." Lu Qiaoer sighed.
"What's too late?" Qin Yuan asked.
"Aye wrote a letter, saying that my grandmother is seriously ill and misses me very much, and hopes that I will go back. I originally planned to take Shengyuan back to my hometown in the past two days, but now that I have packed my things, I am about to sell the house and get the money. Let's go." Lu Qiaoer said to Qin Yuan with a smile, "Seeing you today, I'm afraid it's a farewell. But it doesn't matter, I know that Brother Qin is in Chang'an City, and I may come back to play with Brother Qin in the future."
"You are welcome at any time! How much is your house? I will buy it. Recently, I just want to find a place to settle my crimes." Qin Yuan immediately handed over the matter to Fang Xi to handle.
Lu Qiaoer wanted to refuse, but after hearing Qin Yuan's explanation that it was just a coincidence and the reason for buying the house was indeed legitimate, Lu Qiaoer happily thanked Qin Yuan, offered the most reasonable price, and went through the transfer procedures with Fang Xi.When Fang Xi came to report back, Qin Yuan asked Fang Xi to prepare a carriage and take a team of people to escort Lu Qiaoer and Sui Shengyuan back to Anding Village.
"The people in the village treated me very well back then. This is a kindness. You can prepare some gifts and go, don't worry about the price."
After Fang Xi took the order to leave, the last group of people who investigated the Taoist temple in Shangzhou rushed back.
After a careful household registration check, the yamen agents finally found out the identity of Daochang Min of Jing'an Temple.She used to be a female official next to Emperor Sui Yang and was recommended by Princess Anping.Later, Daoist Min saw that the country was in ruins, so Daoist Min left with the twelve beauties carefully cultivated by the princess' mansion.
Qin Yuan speculated that after Princess Anping was reborn with the blood of the phoenix, she should have found the place where Daochang Min lived.
Since then, the two have been working together, and they don't know how to learn about the Yirenmeng, so they plan to use the Yirenmeng to deal with Li Tang.Because the Alien League is very mysterious and difficult to investigate, Princess Anping and Daochang Min must have spent a lot of thought to find the leader of the Alien League Zhou Yun through Sui Fengyun and approach him, but the plan failed.The two of them could only settle for the next best thing and continue to use Sui Fengyun.After working so hard for several years, they finally had the hope of using Yirenmeng to bring down Li Tang. In the end, because of his interference, the two failed again.Princess Anping jumped over the wall in a hurry and used her last move, but it still failed.
After Qin Yuan figured this out, he went to see Princess Anping and explained his guess to him.Princess Anping tried her best to hide her emotions while listening to Qin Yuan's narration, but Qin Yuan still judged from her reaction that the guesses he had made were almost inseparable.
"just kill me."
Princess Anping was lying on the ground with a dead face. Her whole body, except her head, was tightly wrapped in white cloth, and she could not move at all.This was a great humiliation to her, making her life worse than death.Thinking of the darkness and loneliness that she will face for hundreds, thousands of years or even eternal life, Princess Anping feels that life is worse than death.
"Please, kill me."
"Time is the best medicine to dilute everything." Qin Yuan only replied this sentence, turned around and left.
Princess Anping looked at his decisive back and asked Qin Yuan loudly: "Who are you? You are not an ordinary person. I am already like this. Don't you dare to tell me who you are?"
Qin Yuan continued walking, ignoring Princess Anping.
Three days later, Princess Anping was buried in a remote and deep place.There are not many insiders, and they are all reliable people, without any worries.After all, not everyone knows about Princess Anping's rebirth and immortality.The only person who knows the secret of Princess Anping's rebirth and the place of burial is Qin Yuan himself, not even Li Shimin.
After Princess Anping's burial is completed, the whole case will be completely concluded.
That night, Qin Yuan revived Zhou Xiaolu in his room.
After Zhou Xiaolu woke up, the moment she saw Qin Yuan, her eyes filled with tears, and she threw herself into Qin Yuan's arms and began to cry.
Qin Yuan smiled and patted Zhou Xiaolu's shoulder, and handed Zhou Xiaolu a handkerchief and a sugar cane.
Zhou Xiaolu looked at the sugar cane and was stunned.
"Eat it, you'll be happier if you eat it." Qin Yuan looked at Zhou Xiaolu's thin face, and suddenly remembered how miserable she was when she vomited blood before she died, and felt distressed suddenly.
Zhou Xiaolu took the sugarcane and laughed through tears, "I'm happy even if I don't eat it now. I didn't expect that I would come back to life. I thought I would just die like that, and I would never see Brother Qin again. How did Brother Qin know that I was sick? Did Qingqing tell you?"
Qin Yuan saw Zhou Xiaolu's sincere and puzzled expression, and Fang realized that people who were resurrected by his immortal blood did not remember what happened a while ago.
Qin Yuan nodded and told Zhou Xiaolu that it was indeed Gu Qingqing who told him that she was seriously ill.
"Brother Qin is causing trouble," Zhou Xiaolu said with a complicated expression after learning what happened next, as if he had thought a lot in a flash.
Qin Yuan stared at Zhou Xiaolu and didn't speak for a while.
Zhou Xiaolu touched her face, felt that it was still her face, and her body was also her own, so she asked Qin Yuan puzzled why he looked at her like this.
"You seem to have lost the 'unchanging shock'." Qin Yuan looked at Zhou Xiaolu who was still expressive at the moment, and said.
"Really?" Zhou Xiaolu raised her eyebrows, looked back at Qin Yuan suspiciously, and then jumped off the ground to look in the mirror.Seeing her snow-white feet stepping on the ground like that, Qin Yuan ordered her to put on her shoes quickly.
"Really! I don't need to deliberately do it now, I have a lot of expressions!" Zhou Xiaolu bowed and looked in the mirror, and was pleasantly surprised to make various expressions to himself in the mirror, "Surprised, sad, sad, no I frowned happily, and stretched my face when I felt uncomfortable...it was fun!"
After Zhou Xiaolu tossed her face with various expressions, she turned her head happily and looked at Qin Yuan with bright eyes.
"Thank you Brother Qin for turning me into a normal person."
Qin Yuan still stared at Zhou Xiaolu's feet, ordering her to put on her shoes quickly.
"If you die from catching a cold, I won't be able to save you. To be precise, no matter what happens to you and you die in the future, I won't be able to save you again. This life is so cherished."
"I see, I was wrong just now, not wearing shoes." Zhou Xiaolu hurriedly apologized, ran back to put on her shoes, turned her head to look in the mirror, but was stopped by Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan picked up a book at random and asked Zhou Xiaolu to read it to see if her photographic memory was still there.
Zhou Xiaolu promised that after reading the book twice, he closed his eyes and recalled, and didn't remember the contents of the book at all.
"It's not easy to use a photographic memory anymore, it's pretty good." Zhou Xiaolu said regretfully, "But it's good that I can live, there's no need to worry about it, every day in the future will be like picking it up , I am taking advantage of it, so I am very content."
Zhou Xiaolu grinned at Qin Yuan and bowed to leave.
"What are you going to do?" Qin Yuan asked.
At this time, the black-and-white cat jumped in from the window and ran to Qin Yuan's legs to rub against them.
Qin Yuan hugged the black and white flowers.
"Naturally go back to Qingqing, she must be very worried about me."
Zhou Xiaolu saw the cuteness of the black and white flowers, so she came over and petted the cat twice.Zhou Xiaolu's fingers were slender and tender, and the black and white flowers felt very comfortable being stroked, so she squinted her eyes and snored.
"The cat just came back from outside, but its stomach is bulging. I don't know if it caught mice outside or someone fed it."
"Hey someone." Qin Yuan said.
"How lucky, so many people like you and give you delicious food, but we have to earn food for ourselves." Zhou Xiaolu playfully poked Hei Hua's head with his finger, making Hei Hua's head go crazy. The snoring was louder.
Qin Yuan ordered Zhou Xiaolu to rest in the room first, and Gu Qingqing would naturally come to see her tomorrow.
The next day, when Gu Qingqing entered the door, she saw Zhou Xiaolu teasing the cat with a wisp of chicken feather, and was overjoyed.
"Brother Qin really didn't lie to me, you've recovered after a few days of rest!"
Gu Qingqing hugged Zhou Xiaolu happily, with tears in her eyes.Then the two sisters started chatting, and finally talked about Gu Qingqing's marriage.Gu Qingqing told Zhou Xiaolu that she was almost engaged to the son of Zhang's family in the restaurant next door.
"Good thing, I will definitely give you a big gift to congratulate you on your wedding."
"This gift must be given, but you must give it according to my request." Gu Qingqing suddenly asked with a serious face.
