Liu Fengmian sat aside as if he were invisible. Seeing that the brother and sister were talking about him, he straightened his clothes and intervened at the right time: "Brother Zheng and little sister will live in my house. I will definitely I will make you feel at home.”
Liu Fengmian thought that Zheng Quchi's eldest brother was also named Zheng, but he didn't know the complexity of the three brothers and sisters having two surnames.
Brother Sang turned to look at Liu Fengmian and felt that everything about this young master was exquisite and well-proportioned. His complexion was fair and well-proportioned, and he had an elegant and pleasant fragrance. He was not like the peasant craftsmen he was used to seeing in the countryside.
He was a little cautious and said sheepishly: "This is Brother Liu, if it's an intrusion for us brothers and sisters to go..."
"Don't bother me. If you can come and live in my house, the humble house will be so beautiful. Besides, we are related by marriage, so there is no need to be polite." Although Liu Fengmian looks gentle and weak, he is generous, so he I have made friends from all over the world, regardless of national boundaries.
Seeing that Brother Sang was still hesitating, Zheng Quchi understood that what an honest person like her brother fears most is trouble others.
She tugged at the corner of his clothes and looked at him with her big, warm eyes, watery: "Brother, I have enemies who have come to Shengjing. Now only Liu Mansion can protect you and Yaomei."
Brother Sang immediately understood her concerns and concerns. He was a complete girl-controller, and he made a decision without hesitation in any matter involving Zheng Quchi.
"...I listen to you, brother, go ahead."
Zheng Quchi immediately smiled when he heard this: "Brother, it won't take long. I promise, I will let you and Yaomei walk openly and freely in Shengjing. You can go wherever you want, but for this short period of time, Please be patient a little longer, okay?"
Brother Sang touched her head. Her hair, which used to be stubble and messy, was now combed smoothly. After all, she had grown up and got married, and was no longer the yellow-haired girl before.
"Zhizi, I don't feel uncomfortable at all. You also know that my legs are not convenient for moving around. If I can help you feel more at ease, I can listen to your arrangements."
"Brother..." Zheng Quchi grabbed his hand and said firmly, "When I finish solving all the troublesome matters, I will pick you up soon. You and Yaomei must wait for me."
He nodded and looked at her with dark eyes: "Okay, we're not going anywhere, we're just waiting for you to come back and pick us up."
——
After returning to the palace, Zheng Quchi went to see His Highness the Crown Prince immediately, but Rong Rong stood guard in front of the palace door, claiming that His Highness the Crown Prince was resting and it was inconvenient to see guests, and asked her to come back later.
Zheng Quchi raised his head.
How could he be resting at this hour when it was neither morning nor evening?
Zheng Quchi was confused, but he did not force his way in. Instead, he just stood outside the palace door and refused to leave. Rong Rong failed to persuade her many times and had no choice but to let her go.
But after waiting for about a cup of tea, Yuan Xingzhou called her in.
After the salute, Zheng Quchi drank tea and said cheerfully: "It's not a coincidence, Quchi. Did it disturb His Highness's rest?"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was behind the screen, lifting up his silken hair and arranging the crescent-white dark clothes he had just put on. After it was done, he came out and looked at her: "No problem, why do you want to see me?"
"Have you, Your Highness, taken care of the matters at Empress Ye?"
"For the time being, she will just choose to hold back. The real place where she will make a big move is during the Six Nations Trial."
"Oh, the incense in Your Highness's room is quite special. It lasts for a long time and stays on your clothes." She suddenly said while looking at the bronze crane incense burner in the room.
Yuan Xingzhou glanced at the incense burner, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said: "This is not a special incense, but it is more valuable because the material is precious and can soothe the mind. Therefore, it is sought after by the powerful in the court, and most nobles will use it to incense." Clothing calms the mind.”
"Really?" Zheng Quchi was startled.
Has this incense become so widespread? No wonder she smelled it on Liu Fengmian when he was near her.
"You haven't said yet, why are you here to see His Highness?"
Zheng Quchi immediately remembered the business and said seriously: "I didn't find anything suspicious in Queen Bo Ji's palace, but she was carrying a wooden hairpin with her that I thought was quite suspicious. She sniffed it every time she was emotional. After that, you can calm down quickly.”
"What color is the hairpin?" Yuan Xingzhou asked.
"It's reddish, with a texture like ruby. It doesn't have any special shape. It's just a pointed and slender one. At first glance, it looks ordinary. It doesn't look like something a queen would carry with her." She paid attention to her. Every place visited was described in detail.
After hearing this, Yuan Xingzhou gave her an affirmative reply: "Yes, that should be the Shenmu Meng. In addition to restraining the attack of poison, Shenmu Meng can also calm the mind and calm people's turbulent emotions. Unexpectedly, she In order to hide it from others, it was polished into a hairpin."
This time Zheng Quchi was no longer skeptical, but had a serious discussion with him: "If I get the Shenmu Meng, how should I use it to save Yaomei?"
Obviously Yuan Xingzhou knew a lot about "Shenmu Meng", he told her: "You only need to grind it into powder and feed it to your sister. Only a small amount at a time will restrain the deterioration of the poison in her body. But you still have to find the person who caused the poison in the end and completely eliminate the poison."
"Don't worry, I won't let this matter go." Zheng Quchi's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Well, where did you go when you left the palace just now?"
"Go to the Ordnance Supervision to do business." As she said that, she remembered that the borrowed gold seal of the three armies was still with her, so she quickly took it out and handed it back to him: "Your Highness, the gold seal of the three armies is returned to you."
"No need, you can keep it." Yuan Xingzhou glanced at it and said calmly.
"Should I keep it?"
No, Empress Ye almost broke her head trying to grab such a valuable thing, but he just changed hands and gave it to her lightly. What does it mean?
Yuan Xingzhou said: "With it, plus the Sixiang Army and the Wei and Wang families in your hands, no one in Shengjing dares to attack you easily. Even if Empress Ye wants to touch you, she will be cautious." Think about the consequences."
Unexpectedly, he temporarily placed the golden seal of the three armies with her for safekeeping because of her safety. This prince seemed so cold-hearted when we first met him. He was so world-weary that he planned to destroy the country of Ye as an assassin, but now he doesn't. It’s the same, everyone has learned to help others.
"But without it, I'm afraid it would be inconvenient for you to mobilize the three armies to participate in the Six Nations Military Examination, right?" Zheng Quchi frowned and asked worriedly.
Yuan Xingzhou wondered: "Who said I would use the three armies?"
Hearing this, Zheng Quchi showed an incredible look: "If you don't use the three armies, what will you use? You don't really intend to use those crooked melons and inferior jujubes selected by Queen Ye to fight against the other five countries, do you?"
Did she misunderstand that he was actually not active at all? He was secretly planning to let this fucking Ye country die from the beginning to the end, right? !
