Qingfeng Yuan is really precious and gorgeous, and it looks like Lin Manyun is really being held in the palm of everyone's hands.
Too.
The second wife needs to act in front of outsiders, and in order to use Lin Manyun to achieve her own goals, these superficial skills are still done well.
Even Lin Manyun herself was carefully cared for by Qin Shuang, and she was so beautiful that she had ice-cold muscles and jade bones.
Just for the sake of being more beautiful and worth more.
"Miss!"
Not long after entering the courtyard, a figure rushed over.
His clothes were messy, his body was covered in scars, and he was in a miserable state.
The visitor is Xianyu, the maid who grew up with Lin Manyun, and the only person in the house who is sincere to Lin Manyun.
"Miss, are you okay?"
Xianyu first checked Shi Qinghuan's scars on her own body, and was relieved when she saw that she was really fine.
"Miss, please remember what the madam said. When the night gets dark, the old slave will retreat!"
Warning and threatening, an old nanny can still treat Lin Manyun like this, which shows what kind of life she lives on weekdays.
When Grandma Sun left, Xianyu's eyes turned red and tears fell, and she helped Shi Qinghuan back to the room.
"Miss, it's all my fault. I can't even protect the lady."
Xianyu's aggrieved look was heartbreaking. In the past few days, she had protected Lin Manyun on her own. It was very difficult, but she never gave up.
Shi Qinghuan was moved in his heart, stretched out his hand to take Xianyu's hand, looked at the scars on her body, and quietly touched her pulse.
Fortunately, they were just superficial injuries.
"Xianyu, bring the medicine box over here!"
"Is the lady injured somewhere?"
"I'm fine, go get it."
Xianyu nodded, but turned around and stopped halfway, looking back at Shi Qinghuan with a shocked face.
"Miss, you..."
Shi Qinghuan smiled gently and said, "After this incident, I suddenly woke up. I am no longer the Lin Manyun I was before. Xianyu, are you willing to work with me to seek justice for your young lady?"
A pun.
Xianyu didn't understand, her eyes were filled with tears and she was extremely excited.
"Is what the lady said true?"
"Of course it's true."
"It's great that the lady is awake!"
Xianyu rarely burst into tears like this. Shi Qinghuan smiled and touched her head, "Okay, go get the medicine box first and accompany me to the bookstore later."
The book pavilion was also a decoration placed by Qin Shuang in the courtyard, but Lin Manyun had never been there before.
Now that she was going to the bookstore, Xianyu was sure that her young lady was really well. After all, the young lady before she became stupid loved reading very much.
He nodded and hurried out the door.
After finding these things, Shi Qinghuan helped Xianyu apply the medicine, and then mixed some medicine to remove toxins and took it.
Medical skills are also one of the things she is good at.
After I felt my body had relaxed, I went to take a bath and change my clothes, and then I went to the bookstore.
I found the files that recorded important events in recent years and read them carefully.
"Xianyu, why are there no files from the Duke Protector's Palace from ten years ago?"
"Miss, are you talking about the Zhengyang Rebellion? This incident shocked the government and the public at the time, but later, for some unknown reason, the Holy Emperor issued an order not to mention this matter again, and all related books were burned."
"oh!"
Shi Qinghuan responded lightly, but his heart was in turmoil.
Cheng Yangfeng really did a great job!
What about the Holy One?
What role does it play?
Are they the ones who are deceived, the ones who know the truth, or the ones who condone it!
The moonlight was like frost, pouring down the window, softening Shi Qinghuan's cold feeling.
Dressed in flawless white clothes, with loose black hair and no makeup, she looks cool and dusty, elegant and beautiful.
Not far away, Xianyu could see that she was fascinated. Before, she only thought that her young lady was beautiful, but there was always something missing.
Now, she realized that it was the agility in her expression and the colorful aura around her.
Shi Qinghuan didn't notice Xian Yu's inspection. He was focused on the book. It took him two full hours to close the page.
As the night progressed, Xian Yu had already fallen asleep beside him, and Shi Qinghuan's expression gradually darkened.
The current situation in Kyoto is very different from that of ten years ago.
Now the court is divided into three parts, with King Feng Cheng Yangfeng, Prince Cheng Hexuan, and Zuo Xiang Bailigang standing in a three-way position, like water and fire.
Shi Qinghuan was surprised that Cheng Yangfeng did not become the prince.
But even if he is not the prince, his power in the court is no longer what it was ten years ago.
If you want Zhaoxue to take revenge, you must be cautious and step by step.
Shi Qinghuan knew a little about Prince Cheng Hexuan. The son of the Holy Emperor's favorite concubine, he was a young and talented man who had already shown his talents ten years ago. It was not surprising that he was named crown prince.
On the other hand, Zuo Xiang Bailiheng did not have much impression in Shi Qinghuan's memory.
After all, ten years ago, Bailiheng, the son of the former left prime minister, was only twelve years old.
According to historical records, Baili Ling was originally a dandy who only cared about romance and had no intention of pursuing an official career. He even made the old left prime minister angry many times.
But just a year ago, something unexpected happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion. The old Prime Minister Zuo fell seriously ill and Bailiheng almost died.
After waking up, he seemed to be a different person. Not only did he save the Holy Emperor during Chun Lie's assassination, but in just one year, he killed decisively and single-handedly secured the leftist power. The position of prime minister has reached the point where he can compete with the prince and Cheng Yangfeng.
A character indeed.
But... Shi Qinghuan always felt that something was strange.
"Miss, have you finished reading?"
Xianyu's voice brought Shi Qinghuan back from her thoughts. She nodded, then took out her pen and ink and wrote a letter.
Xianyu was dumbfounded by this sight and hurriedly walked to the table, but only saw Shi Qinghuan put the page with a picture of a phoenix holding an orchid in its mouth into an envelope.
"Xianyu, I need you to help me deliver this to the shopkeeper of Wufangzhai tomorrow."
"Wufangzhai? Miss, do you want to eat their fruits? But we have always been under surveillance and cannot leave the house!"
"Don't worry, I'll be able to go out early tomorrow morning, and Qin Shuang will pick him up in person."
Xianyu's face was full of doubts, but in the end he didn't ask in detail.
I just feel that the lady is really different from before.
After letting Xian Yu go down to prepare, Shi Qinghuan turned to look out the window. The night was thick and silent, like the deep sea that was about to surge.
Shi Qinghuan spent the whole night reading, and it was only in the early morning that Xianyu ran in with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Miss, the second lady is really here! How did the lady know that she can leave the house today?"
"The death of Mr. Xu will definitely alarm the Dali Temple. The fact that there was a woman in the house of Mr. Xu at that time cannot be concealed. It's just that we can't find out that the woman is me. At this time, rumors will spread. Qin Shuang naturally has to do something to remove the suspicion, and taking me out is the best way to be a loving mother and a filial son."
Xianyu suddenly realized.
As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Shuang led people into the hospital in a large force, "Man'er, will aunt take you out for a walk today?"
"Really?"
Shi Qinghuan turned into that innocent and innocent look again, and Xianyu couldn't help but marvel at it.
"Of course, aunt will take you to buy nice clothes and delicious cakes, okay?"
"Very good!"
"But you have to promise aunt that you won't talk nonsense after you go out!"
"Uh-huh."
Shi Qinghuan agreed obediently, and Qin Shuang looked at Xianyu again, threateningly saying, "Remember what Grandma Sun told you last night, and keep an eye on your young lady."
"yes."
Qin Shuang waved her hands with satisfaction, and the maids quickly started to help Shi Qinghuan dress up.
In a short time, Shi Qinghuan became extremely beautiful, and Qin Shuang was very satisfied.
Before leaving the house, Shi Qinghuan put on a veil.
Lin Manyun's face has been hidden in the boudoir for more than ten years, and almost no one in Kyoto has seen it. It is a place that she can take advantage of in the future.
So now, this face cannot be exposed to the public.
Qin Shuang didn't stop her. Lin Manyun was slim and graceful. Wearing a veil like this made her even more mysterious. It could also hide her stupidity, which was the best of both worlds.
In this way, the two people, who had their own thoughts, got into the carriage together.
All the way directly to the most prosperous area in Kyoto.
Qin Shuang took Shi Qinghuan through the market in a swagger, and kept chatting with other ladies, trying his best to show how much he loved Lin Manyun.
Shi Qinghuan also followed obediently, which made Qin Shuang very satisfied.
So when Shi Qinghuan was drooling looking at Wufangzhai's pastries, Qin Shuang took advantage of the situation and sent Xianyu over.
Everything fell into place, and just when Shi Qinghuan was worried about Xianyu, shouts rang out not far away.
"Lord Zuo Xiang returns to the city and clears the way!"
Bailiheng!
Shi Qinghuan's heart trembled, and her surging curiosity prompted her to step out.
The sound of horse hooves was drowned in the noise of the people. The horse was galloping. The figure on the horse was as majestic as a city and high-spirited.
Mo Fanyang was scattered in the strong wind, entangled in the black cloak, and disappeared in Shi Qinghuan's sight, and he didn't even have time to see his face clearly.
But even from a distance, Shi Qinghuan could feel the cold and harsh aura on his body.
Something familiar.
"Man'er, what are you looking at? Come in quickly!"
Just when Bailiheng felt the hot eyes behind him and looked back, Shi Qinghuan was dragged into the store by Qin Shuang.
His eyes were untouched, and he only saw the light blue clothes beside the sandalwood door, which were lifted by the breeze.
This deliberate performance ended after Bailiheng returned to the city.
Shi Qinghuan's cooperation today put Qin Shuang in a good mood. When he returned to the house, Shi Qinghuan saw that the timing was right and he made the first chess piece.
"Second Aunt, I am so happy today. You are so kind to me. Let me tell you a secret. It was the secret that the old man told me!"
