Chapter 247: Daoist Master Jinlian: Pushing Xu Qi’an out to take the blame

“Old slave of course know, Xiao Rou was formerly the crab pavilion, three years ago the Qingfeng Palace released three palace maids, the lack of people, I see her handsome, hands and feet, recommended her to go over .”

“You didn’t come out to meet the body when it was fished out?” Xu Qi’an suddenly asked.

“How dare I look, the old slave is too old to see death.”

“Oh, you go on about this Huang Xiaorou.”

Rongmao is old, the mood changes a lot, suddenly angry: “that dead girl is a cool, back then, if not recommended by the old slave, she can become a big courtesan beside the Fu Fei? So many years, never come back to see the old slave.

“Those men who don’t have a handle still know how to honor their godfather, heh, it’s when this woman is thin-skinned that it’s the most chilling.”

“Sister, don’t say that, you’re too old to dodge a boxer’s tricky angled attacks.” Xu Qi’an teased and continued:

“When this officer performed the autopsy, he found that Huang Xiaorou had suffered a fatal wound on her left chest, do you know what the situation is?”

Sister Rong thought for a long time and made a reminiscent expression: ”Injured . There was something like that, it seems like a year before Xiao Rou was transferred to the Qingfeng Palace, I don’t know how, she got up at night and stabbed herself in the chest with scissors.

“Fortunately, the palace maid who was in the same room with her realized it early and called for the Imperial Doctor, which saved her life.”

Xu Qi’an and Huaiqing frowned at the same time.

There were holes in the old Sister’s words; the scar went straight to the heart, a fatal wound. The cost of treatment could never be paid by a courtesan.

“As the saying goes, if you don’t die in a great disaster, you will be blessed later, Xiao Rou was lucky enough to recover a life, and the next year she went to the Qingfeng Palace, and no longer had to do the work of a handyman, and she was very handsome, and originally had a chance to be honored by his majesty.”

Xu Qi’an recalled Huang Xiaorou’s swollen face after her death, and the corner of her mouth twitched.

Regardless of who saved Huang Xiaorou, one thing could be confirmed, the hemorrhage left little time for her. How did that person behind the scene manage to save a palace maid in the dead of night?

Unless one keeps an eye on her.

If Yung Maa didn’t lie, then the problem is that

“What was the name of that palace maid?” Huaiqing asked the question one step ahead of Xu Qi’an, adding, “That palace maid who lives with Huang Xiaorou.”

“Back to Your Highness,” Sister Rong thought for a long time, not quite sure of her tone, “I think it’s called Ho’er?”

Obviously, Xu Qi’an saw Huaiqing’s pupils contract violently.

She knew that courtesan named He’er. Xu Qi’an made a judgment in her heart.

“I’ve finished my questions, do you two Highnesses have anything else to add?” Xu Qi’an looked toward Huaiqing and Lin’an.

Linan shook his head cooperatively, while Huaiqing looked preoccupied and didn’t respond.

Xu Qi’an was about to retreat and proceed to check out the Imperial Pharmacy when Sister Rong suddenly said, “This lord, the old slave has something to say to you.”

With that, Sister Yung got up and walked to the other side.

Xu Qi’an followed, and Rong Maa looked at the distant backs of Huaiqing and the others, withdrew her gaze, then looked at Xu Qi’an and said in a serious tone:

“This lord, there are just too many facts that can’t be hidden in the deep palace. As long as one foot is stuck in, it will keep sinking.”

“Sister Rong, I told you that you’re not simple, you’re like a firefly in the dark night, your florid white hair, the age spots on your face, and your big belly, all of them deeply amazed me.” Xu Qi’an marveled.

Just tell me any more secrets.

“Your Excellency speaks so well, and it is not because you are so handsome that I speak to you in this way.” The old Sister returned slowly to her chaise longue and stopped talking.

Xu Qi’an didn’t walk away, surprised, “No more?”

The old Sister shook her head, “The old slave doesn’t know much, and those who shouldn’t know about the affairs of the deep palace’s inner court don’t know.”

Hey, this old mom, wasting my feelings! I thought she knew something.

According to Xu Qi’an’s thinking, since the old ma’am had left him alone to talk, there must be an “unspeakable secret” waiting for him.

It turned out to be just a caveat!

Out of the Crab Pavilion’s courtyard, the red-skirted, brightly colored framed was still waiting outside, but the figure of Huaiqing was missing.

“Where is the Rapunzel?”

When the framed heard this, she was instantly unhappy and raised her eyebrows, “Opening your mouth is Huaiqing Huaiqing, forgetting whose people you are? This palace is waiting here, you rightly pretend not to see.”

In the sunlight, her round googly-eyed face was soft in color, and her cheeks were white and red, like a piece of translucent jade with no flaws in sight.

The edge of her eyebrows were raised, and her flirty peach blossom eyes swirled with indignation.

Even when she’s angry, she’s mostly cute.

“The Eldest Princess has finally left, and no one is disturbing our solitude.” Xu Qi’an exulted.

Framed sniffed, face slightly red, sheepishly looked at the guards not far away, whispered: “Dog slave, not allowed to talk to this palace like this.”

She was an unmarried princess who couldn’t withstand a sugar-coated attack and would be ashamed and embarrassed when she heard earthy love words.

“Your highness is too self-effacing, your highness is like a light in the darkness, so brilliant that the sun can’t even cover your splendor.” Xu Qi’an a sentence to change into a coat, and again got in front of Princess Lin’an to say.

Framed with joy and embarrassment and a little bit of helplessness, she didn’t know when she gradually couldn’t manage this little gong.

When he first took it from Huaiqing, he was still docile and obedient, swearing that he would break with Huaiqing and work for her wholeheartedly.

As time went on, she realized that she couldn’t handle this man; he was humble and respectful on the surface, but in fact, when she was alone, she was always at a disadvantage.

And in favor of this mode of getting along, it was surprising that she had never cared about it. You know, even in front of Huaiqing, she was a strange woman who strived for the best.

Thinking of this, the framer raised his wonderfully curved jaw and questioned, “Why didn’t you say anything when Huaiqing was there?”

How can I say this kind of words together in front of your face If it is Huaiqing, I have to say it in a different way: Your Highness is like a white and flawless snow lotus flower in the wind and snow, your beautiful face, long and straight jade legs, and your pompous 36D chest muscles . Deeply stunning to me.

Xu Qi’an sidetracked, “Where did the Eldest Princess go?”

“How does this palace know?”

Mounted seemed to want to roll his eyes, but taking into account the etiquette and cultivation, he forced himself to hold back and said, “Let’s hurry up and go to the Imperial Pharmacy, investigating a case is like putting out a fire, we can’t afford any delays.”

Xu Qi’an looked at her and guessed, “Are you worried about Huaiqing destroying evidence?”

Framed pretended not to hear, walking lightly in front, between the swaying of the skirt, the small peach-like buttocks were hidden.

“When God sprinkled wisdom all over the earth, this princess though, like Suzume, witted an umbrella . It’s true that dealing with her is simpler and easier than dealing with Huaiqing. But it’s just too bitchy to be defensible.” Xu Qi’an muttered in his heart as he accompanied the princess to the imperial apothecary.

Lingbao Guan.

Inside the sandalwood-scented quiet room, two women of extraordinary status sat opposite each other drinking tea, and the sunlight pierced through the lattice windows, casting neat squares of light spots on the floor.

Dusty rice floats in the beams of light.

Luo Yu Heng sat on a futon with her back against the word “Dao”, holding a duster in one hand and a cup of tea in the other, taking a sip and squinting her eyes in enjoyment, highlighting her curly and thick eyelashes.

“Tea grown by the Southern Gardenia is just different from mortal products. I wouldn’t be a god if I could drink a pot every day.” Luo Yu Heng lamented.

Sitting across from Luo Daojiu was a woman wearing an indigo complicated long dress, a gorgeous headdress, and a light veil covering her face.

Her face was hidden under a light veil, and only the outline of her cheeks could be vaguely seen, revealing only a pair of bright autumn eyes and two trimmed, delicate eyebrows.

“This tea only produces three jins in three years. Most of it is tributed to the palace, and I don’t have much in my hands.” The masked woman’s voice was soft and charming, full of the magnetism of a mature woman.

She lifted the light veil, took a sip, and turned to ask, “Is there anything interesting going on in the capital recently?”

Luo Yu Heng helplessly said: “the court battle you are not interested in, but the most thrilling aftertaste is not this? As for the case, from the tax silver case to the Sang Po case, you have heard it back and forth several times here is the capital city, which has so many cases to tell you.”

“Isn’t Princess Fu’s case still open.” The masked woman arched her eyebrows a bit and seemed to be smiling.

“This case is still that tongluo in charge of investigating, I’m not clear on the specifics.” Luo Yu Heng “tons and tons and tons” finished the tea in his cup and poured himself another cup:

“After all, it’s the Emperor’s family matter, if you’re interested, you can ask Princess Huaiqing.”

“It’s just a matter of not being happy about hitching a ride with the royal family.” The woman shook her head and continued, “I’ve seen that gong twice, it’s a bit annoying.”

“You’ve seen him?” Luo Yuheng froze.

The masked woman let out a “hmmm”, dipped her green fingers in the tea and drew a pig’s head on the coffee table, arched her eyebrows and grunted:

“Picked up my scented purse and refused to give it back.”

Luo Yu Heng nodded and said along with the topic, “This person is not ordinary, deeply appreciated by Wei Yuan and cultivated with all his efforts. In time, Da Feng will produce another high-grade martial artist with a promising future.”

Under the light veil, she bristled and said without much care, “How high can it go? With the King of Zhenbei around, the martial artists of the Great Feng can’t even raise their heads. He’s just a gong.”

Luo Yu Heng smiled, that tongluo had good natural talent, both appreciated by Wei Yuan and chosen by the Earth Sect to be the Earth Book holder, but there were countless heroes in the world, he was just one of the rather outstanding ones.    ”I do appreciate his ability to solve cases, so many big cases, ups and downs, interesting process.” The masked woman said.

Luo Yu Heng was about to speak when her cheeks were suddenly colored with a layer of intoxicating redness, she frowned, put down her teacup, and said in a low voice, “Nan Jardenia, you go back first .”

The masked woman glanced at her, nodded slightly, got up and walked to the door, suddenly turned back and said helplessly, “If you really can’t do it, you should take it from Emperor Yuan Jing, or find a man or not, every month the evil fire burns your body, I’m really afraid that you’ll turn into a slut.”

Luo Yu Heng ignored her and frowned tighter.

The masked woman opened the door to the quiet room and stepped out from under the eaves of the house, following the path paved with lapis lazuli and leaving the backyard.

“Whew.”

Luo Yu Heng exhaled a mouthful of searing breath and propped himself up on the coffee table.

She stumbled out of the quiet room, her stunning face covered in flushing, her eyes watery and flirtatious.

Plop.

Luo Yu Heng leapt into the small pool in the backyard.

Ice-cold pool water engulfed the beautiful Taoist nun’s mature and plump body, Russia, the pool surface “click” even sound, knotted thick ice.

The cold flow spread all the way to the surrounding wigwams and gazebos, covering their surfaces with a thin, translucent layer of ice crystals.

After another quarter of an hour, the pool water gradually melted, wisps of steam came out, then a bubble tumbled to the surface, “wave” sound broken.

“Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle.”

More and more bubbles churned up, the steam grew thicker and thicker, and the entire pool of water boiled over.

The process lasted for two quarters of an hour, the water level dropped by a dozen centimeters, and the boiling pool finally returned to silence, but the hot and humid air currents hovered over the backyard for a long time.

Luo Yu Heng drilled out of the water, her dao hairpin falling off, her black hair plastered against her fair cheeks, her eyes brimming with beauty.

“Meow~”

Soft cat calls came, an orange cat tumbled in from the outer wall, leaping up the wigwam behind Luo Yu Heng with an athletic stance and squatting there obediently.

“Evil fire burning your body will melt the foundation of the dao, Luo Yu Heng, you can at most last three more years.” The orange cat spat out a gentle, vicissitudes voice.

“Why is senior brother here.” Luo Yu Heng was soaking in the water, his starry eyes half-open and half-closed.

“To show you the way.” The orange cat said, “The Szetian Supervisor’s delimitation pill can relieve your symptoms, now it’s lust, next there’s greed and hatred . There’s good for you.

“Ai, of the three sects of the Dao, only the Heavenly Sect is not burdened by the rolling world. Perhaps the Heavenly Sect’s philosophy is the right one.”

Luo Yu Heng opened his eyes and laughed coldly, “The Heavenly Sect is desperate for love and righteousness, assimilating with heaven and earth, there is no sadness or joy, no love or hate, and even if one feathers into immortality, one will still lose one’s self. This is the evil path.”

After a pause, she frowned and said, “And how could I not know that the Deliverance Pill could alleviate the symptoms, but the Supervisor Zheng has always disliked my Human Sect, and would definitely not give away the pills.”

The orange cat said unhurriedly, ”Xu Qi’an has taken the Fertilization Pill, and the effect of the medicine has not yet dissipated, so I took a bowl of his essence blood as a medicine guide. Although the refined pill is not as good as the Fetal Deliverance Pill, it can also solve the pressing problem.

“He will more or less sell the poor Taoist a few points.”

Luo Yu Heng was silent for a moment, “You’d better take care of yourself, the strand of demonic nature you split off has taken up most of your power, with just the remnants of your current soul, I’m afraid it’s delusional to want to exterminate the demon.”

The orange cat said smilingly, “At that time, it will still be necessary for senior sister to help. Of course, by the time I have the confidence to ambush the demons that day, the Earth Book Fragment holders, most of them have already grown up, and Senior Sister only needs to press the battlefield from the sidelines.”

Luo Yu Heng frowned, “Senior brother should know that unless I step into the first grade, in my state, if I am entangled in karma, I will most likely only perish.”

“So, the next thing is for me to help senior sister step into the First Grade.”

Luo Yu Heng snapped her head back, her beautiful eyes burning and gazing, staring at the orange cat without speaking.

“Why doesn’t Senior Sister double-cultivate with Emperor Yuanjing?” The orange cat raised its paw as if it wanted to lick it, but reason overcame habit.

“He doesn’t have enough qi.” Luo Yu Heng said.

This was the first time she had stated her reasons for not dual-cultivating with Emperor Yuan Jing.

The orange cat nodded slowly, “So you just borrowed his chi to suppress the karmic fire without going any further. And then what? Senior sister must have a follow-up plan, right?”

Luo Yu Heng nodded, “Wait for the new ruler to take the throne.”

The new ruler took the throne Orange Cat drifted off, suddenly frowning, “With the Da Feng’s weakening national strength nowadays, it will only get worse from generation to generation, and among Emperor Yuan Jing’s heirs, there is no Zhongxing Lord, which you know better than I do.”

Luo Yu Heng smiled, “Zhongxing doesn’t necessarily depend on the king, with Wei Yuan, the empire’s stitcher, as long as he can survive the purge and take control of the new king after Emperor Yuan Jing’s death, the empire will eventually sweep away the disease and flourish.”

“So you intend to wait for the recovery of the country’s power in the future, and then double-cultivate with the new ruler” The orange cat first nodded, then shook her head, “There is no hurry in this matter, the reason for the weakening of Dafeng’s national power is not simple, and the involvement behind it is so big that it’s a bit finicky to think about it.”

Luo Yu Heng frowned, “In terms of far-reaching layouts, Senior Brother does not lose to Wei Yuan.”

“Poor Taoist is also guessing, things are still unclear.” After finishing, the orange cat added, “By the way, Li Miaozhen is coming to the capital.”

“Just call number four back, as a disciple of the Human Sect, it’s his duty to deal with the Heavenly Sect’s Holy Maiden.”

“This they are all members of the Heaven and Earth Association, it’s not good to let them kill each other.”

Luo Yu Heng threw him an arrogant backward glance.

It’s okay to push Xu Qi’an out to make peace when the time comes. The orange cat thought darkly.

The Imperial Pharmacy.

The old eunuch in charge rummaged through a bookcase and handed a booklet to Xu Qi’an, who had come to investigate the case, his voice shrill:

“The Royal Apothecary’s income and expenditure records are cleared once every five years, so if you come back a few years later, you won’t be able to find out.”

In the side hall, framed held a bowl of tea, his soulful eyes turning as he stared at the booklet.

Xu Qi’an thought she wanted to see it, so she said, “The princess came to find it?”

“I don’t care to look at these things, my head gets big when I do.” She said crisply.

Xu Qi’an just don’t understand, Chu Caiwei that stupid girl, how did she and Huaiqing become bosom friends? According to reason, shouldn’t it be that things come together, people come together.

Chu Caiwei is obviously with Linan, and the orange power is only great.

“Your Highness is too intelligent, it’s just that the talent is elsewhere.” Xu Qi’an said as he flipped through the pamphlet, “My family has a younger sister who is also as smart as the princess, but her talent is not in reading.”

“Where did you put it?”

“Put it on the back of the cookbook.”

“.”

This pamphlet records the income and expenditure records of all the pills of the Imperial Apothecary in the thirty-second year of Yuanjing.

According to Huang Xiaorou’s injuries, there were only a few pills that could save her, so it was easy to find them. Just need to ask the imperial pharmacy to understand what “bring the dead back to life” pills, follow the name of the pills to find, it is easy to find.

However, Xu Qi’an searched for a cup of tea and realized that he surprisingly did not find any clues.

“In the thirty-second year of Yuanjing, a total of three hundred and sixty-four types of elixirs were sent by the Heavenly Superintendent and the Spirit Treasure View, totaling a count of seven hundred and eighty-nine bottles. Among them, there were only three Grade A elixirs, which were rewarded by His Majesty to foreign ministers in Yuan Jing’s thirty-second, thirty-third, and thirty-sixth years.”

Xu Qi’an closed the booklet, looked at Lin An, and said, “There was no Dan pill found to save Huang Xiaorou.”

Upon hearing this, the clever Lin An thought for a long time, “The elixir didn’t come from the Imperial Pharmacy?”

Xu Qi’an shook his head, ”Looking at the Great Feng, the only ones who can refine pills are the Spirit Treasure Guan and the Si Tian Supervisor, so the pills must have come from these two places.

“Huang Xiaorou is a palace maid, and if there is no one behind her to save her, she will surely die. But who in the Harem can reach out to the Si Tian Jian and Ling Bao Guan for pills without going through the Imperial Pharmacy?”

There is only one answer: Emperor Yuan Jing!

It can t be him, the imperial pharmacy is Emperor Yuan Jing s, the entire palace is his, the imperial pharmacy is the institution where he draws out his pills, there is no reason for him to bypass the imperial study, just like my payroll card is used to deposit my salary, there is absolutely no need for me to open another bank card and secretly hide my pocket money Xu Qi An thought of a possibility.
