Qu Quan has never met Zhao Ren.

Although she had entered the palace many times when she was young, the second princess was already married at that time, and the married princess would be brought to the palace banquet, but because the foreign ministers and the family members of the harem could not meet, there was still no chance meet.But even though they have never met, they can still know how powerful that princess is at the corner of the palace wall.

Zhaoren is the second princess born of the empress. Because the eldest princess is weak-tempered and doesn't like Xuhua and not being close to her parents, she was selected as a good son-in-law early on to live out of the palace.All the grace and favor fell on Zhaoren.Every spring, the sea of ​​flowers in her palace is five times that of other palaces; every winter, the palace where she lives can always send the most abundant silver bone charcoal; She made an exception for all the pearls and brocades, and she chose first; the wedding banquet when she got married was a luxurious and luxurious dream that the people of Jinling City would never forget.

From a distance, Qu Quan saw the maids and guards lined up in front of the lobby, walking all the way, the extravagant scene was exactly like the king summoning all the officials at the Qionglin Banquet.As soon as I stepped into the threshold of the lobby, I saw a woman in a Chinese dress sitting on the main seat, holding a lamp from the Huangshan Maofeng in the mansion and blowing gently.Qu Quan took a look at her, and a two-palm-sized eight-treasure beaded phoenix hairpin instantly attracted her attention.Although Zhaoren had fair skin and a dignified and beautiful face, this phoenix stole the limelight.

The phoenix's eight treasures are competing for glory, and the pearls are dazzling, showing the incomparable status and glory of its owner, but in Qu Quan's eyes, although the phoenix head is exquisite and gorgeous, the phoenix wings behind it fly unrestrainedly, like a bird The crab with its fangs and claws is similar to the son-in-law who struggled in the hands of the Jinwu Guard until he had no image.

Qu Quan had an epiphany, perhaps, this is the legendary couple.

The slander belongs to the slander, seeing the princess is like a courtier seeing the king, and he still performed a courtier's salute honestly.

"Qu Quan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, visited Her Highness the Princess. I don't know if His Highness came to greet you, and I hope that the Princess will forgive me."

Qu Quan waited for a while, but there was still no movement from the seat, only the sound of the cup lid brushing gently against the rim of the cup slowly grinding Qu Quan's heart.Want to show off when you first meet?Qu Quan sneered inwardly, and stood up straight away.

"presumptuous!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of the collision of hairpins and rings, and the sound of cups being thrown heavily on the ground.Qu Quan glanced at the hem of the clothes that had been splashed with tea soup, and raised his head calmly, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I have suffered from the wind and cold a few days ago, and my condition is erratic. The doctor warned me not to catch the cold at all times. Recently, it has been raining continuously and the ground is wet and cold. It is fine for me to kneel for a moment, but if I fall ill because of this, I will delay the affairs of the Ministry of Justice. Tianyou will be doomed." At the end, Qu Quan coughed twice, for fear that others would not notice that she was ill.

Zhaoren looked at her serious wrangling coldly, and cooperated by the way, "Mr. Qu is still thinking about national affairs when he is ill. It can be said that he has devoted himself to everything." At this point, he changed the subject, "I just don't know, Mr. Qu really wants to do something for you." Do you share your worries, or do you want to fulfill yourself?"

This is a pun, but it is very interesting.Perfecting himself naturally refers to Qu Quan solving a strange case, supervising and beheading his son-in-law, and leaving behind an eternal reputation.Sharing worries for the emperor refers to exonerating the son-in-law's crimes, so that the emperor does not have to fight against the forces of all parties to kill his relatives righteously.In fact, the former Qu Quan didn't even think about it, he just laughed it off, but "sharing your worries for the king" is a fatal problem.

"Your Highness is over-reputed, and this humble minister is only seeking a job in his position, and dare not think too much about him." Qu Quan nodded slightly, cleverly avoiding the attacking sharpness.

"Master Qu, why should you be humble?" Because of continuous heavy rain, the sky was as dark as night, so Shang Shufu lit many candles in the room.The candlelight shines in Princess Zhaoren's eyes at this moment, and it is not difficult to find the undercurrent hidden in her eyes, "I think that Mr. Qu not only does his job well, but also has a heart for the people. He is a rare and good minister."

"What I receive is the favor of the emperor, what I am bathed in is the grace of the emperor, and the tools I rely on are given by the sage. Naturally, I have to do my job to serve the court. What I wear is silk woven by a mulberry girl, and what I eat is old farmers. The five grains that are planted are taken from the people for living and use, so naturally we should care about the people and seek to benefit the common people." Qu Quan nodded and smiled, doing good deeds like others.

After finishing speaking, three crisp clapping sounds followed.

"Well said, Mr. Qu is worthy of being the pillar of the Great Xia." Zhao Ren's beautiful eyes sank, "It's a pity, as far as I know, Mr. Qu is not pure and clean."

Qu Quan smiled: "What do you think Your Highness said?"

"The case of Concubine Shu caused a sensation in the government and the public, thanks to Mrs. Qu's good means." Zhaoren stopped talking nonsense with her and began to express his intentions directly, "Concubine Shu of the holy family Zhenglong died with a cup of dove wine, and the old Ministry of punishment fell overnight. It was destroyed and clarified. The emperor has always been worried about this matter, and although he believes in Lord Qu, he has been secretly investigating." Her eyes rolled, seemingly innocent, "I happened to hear some rumors, if I accidentally conveyed If it is given to the royal father, Mr. Qu is afraid that he will not be able to be loyal to the country anymore, so he will plead for the people."

This is to secretly remind Qu Quan that she has found some clues that can bring down Qu Quan, and she is clearly putting pressure on her.

However, Qu Quan was not only unafraid, but even more smiling, "What does Your Highness want me to do?"

Zhao Ren couldn't see Qu Quan's expression at this moment. She was overjoyed when she heard the words, and a smug smile appeared on her face, "It is said that women suffer from three kinds of hardships: losing their father when they are young, losing their husband when they are young, and losing their children when they are old. They are all ordinary women." The hardships I have suffered, the golden branches and jade leaves of this palace, naturally need to ask for a loving husband and wife, and the white prime minister will take care of them."

"My son-in-law is currently in the prison, and I'm afraid I've lost a lot of weight these few days." Qu Quan's tone was very sincere, "Your Highness, the princess might as well go and deliver some food to the son-in-law."

Zhao Ren nodded in satisfaction, knowing that Qu Quan was on the right track, much easier to deal with than Wei Yueyan's stubbornness.But if you think about it carefully, how many of the ministers of the DPRK and China who have visited in the past few days were not threatened and lured, but they were easily won by reasoning with affection?It seems that a group of vassal ministers are all hiding some shady activities, and they all have some extravagant hopes hanging on high branches that cannot be reached.

"Master Qu's suggestion is very good, I will go to deliver some food to the son-in-law soon."

Qu Quan showed her sincere eyes, and suggested: "Your Highness, you might as well wash your hands and make soup yourself, I'm sure the son-in-law will be very happy."

"You don't need to be reminded by Mr. Qu." Zhaoren looked a little impatient.

Qu Quan sighed and nodded, "My minister heard that although Her Royal Highness loves the son-in-law deeply, she has never cooked for the son-in-law. The son-in-law woke up from the bed one night and told His Highness that he had a delicious meal in his dream. Forgetting the recipe, he dragged His Highness with a clouded bun to the kitchen overnight, and really made a fish soup. His Highness was so happy with the meal, that he promised to make a dish for the son-in-law in the future. Right now, the son-in-law is being punished Soon, if His Highness still refuses to cook for the son-in-law, I'm afraid there will be no chance in this life."

"You, how did you know that?!" Zhao Ren was like being killed by lightning, but she didn't realize that Qu Quan's words obviously violated her meaning. At that time, the husband and wife had fun in their boudoir.Even few people in his own mansion knew about this kind of thing, so why did this foreign minister who couldn't beat him know it clearly?

The level of security in the son-in-law's mansion is second only to the imperial palace in the entire Jinling City. There are even ten secret guards specially approved by Emperor Yulong to patrol in the night. How can a small Minister of the Ministry of Punishment come from such a skill to detect such a hidden place? thing? !

She looked at Qu Quan in horror, pointing at Qu Quan's chilling face with trembling fingers covered with dyed Danko, probably because the terror Qu Quan brought to her had a certain period of dormancy, and she could still say it just now When he spoke, he couldn't even say a word at this moment.

Seeing Princess Zhaoren, who had always been high-spirited, become like this, Qu Quan secretly laughed inwardly.In fact, her spy is not a fairy, and she can't enter the palace of Princess Zhaoren's son-in-law, which is second only to the imperial palace in terms of security.The reason why she knew about this was that last year when Jiji helped her to deliver birthday gifts to the princess mansion, she accidentally got heatstroke-of course, no one knows if such a mysterious thing as heatstroke is true or not.The princess of the consort's mansion was domineering and domineering, and even a group of little maids were used to being delicate and considerate, so they took the collection back and took care of it for a noon.Jiji drank the soup to cool off the summer heat, and was about to thank the little maids. He happened to overhear what the two little maids were talking about in the corner of the corridor. All the people in the Consort House?If the maids and hidden guards on duty said they didn't know, they must be trying to save their own lives.

However, Qu Quan would not be so stupid as to tell Zhaoren about this kind of thing. She appreciated the huge contrast between Zhaoren and Zhaoren with satisfaction, and did not dare to go too far, so she had to kindly give the princess a step down. People are envious."

"Master Qu, what are you pretending to do with me?" Zhaoren's voice suddenly became low, like an ice pick that slammed into Qu Quan's body, and the latter was startled when he heard this.

"Your Highness?"

"Master Qu is a smart person," Zhaoren sneered, "but how can a smart person do stupid things?"

Qu Quan didn't reply this time, the smile on his face had faded away, only the corners of his lips still stubbornly maintained their upward curve.She understood the meaning of Zhaoren's words, since coercion and profiteering failed, she naturally had to understand it with emotion and reason, and this emotion, this reason, was exactly where her Achilles' heel lay.She raised her eyes suddenly, and for the first time seriously looked at the princess who was the king's favorite, she felt awe-inspiring.

Zhaoren may not be as rumored by the outside world, under the shell of arrogance and domineering, there lives a careful soul.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Zhaoren knew that he had hit the lifeline, and then said: "Everything Mr. Qu has done is in line with the actions of a powerful minister. Everything is just to gain the favor of my father, glory and wealth. Mr. Qu, please What you want is the power under one person and over ten thousand people, what kind of upright big blue sky are you!"

Qu Quan bowed his head and did not answer.

Shaking his head, Zhaoren walked down from his seat slowly, and walked up to Qu Quan, "Mr. Qu was named on the gold list when he was young, and the snow and injustice case has been walking on thin ice all the way." She suddenly laughed as if thinking of something, "Actually, the injustice case is just a case Gong speculates that the evidence he just said was just a lie to Mr. Qu. Mr. Qu is thoughtful and rigorous, and there is no flaw at all. Mr. Sir has been planning for himself for several years, and all the rivers and waves have passed. If the ship capsizes in the gutter—" Thin red lips pressed against Qu Quan's ear, breath wrapped around the ear like a poisonous snake, and the words he spit out were deadly venom, "That's really a pity."

Qu Quan turned around almost at the same time as she finished speaking, her face was so tight that she pinched Zi Luo on her skirt in her hands, and blood was about to drip from her eyes. If you look closely, you will find that Qu Quan Tsuen was trembling at this moment.

"Master Qu, how do you feel?" Zhaoren smiled brilliantly behind her.

Qu Quan squeezed out a few icicles from his throat——

"see a visitor out!"

The Ziluo between the fingers broke at the sound.
