"Little father-in-law, please do me a favor and go to check the maids named" he'er. "

Xu Qi'an put down the pamphlet, turned around and ordered emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty to send his little eunuch to supervise him.

The little eunuch left obediently.

After he left, Xu Qian looked at the booklet again, page after page, and read it very carefully.

I can't stand the ancient books... There are few words, many strokes, and my eyes hurt when I look at them... It took Xu Qi'an an an hour to look at the whole year's income and expenditure records carefully.

He closed the book, looked at the old Eunuch in charge and said, "where is the toilet?"

The old eunuch replied, "backyard."

Xu Qian immediately went to the toilet, but did not take out his 8 = = = D, but took out the fragments of the book to find out the Confucian version of the magic book given to him by the great Confucians.

Tear off a page of Wang Qi Shu and burn it out.

His eyes shot two clear lights, then slowly converged.

After painting himself a look at Qi technique, Xu Qi'an returned to pianting and asked the old eunuch quietly, "I found that there was something wrong with the pamphlet. My father-in-law had to give me an explanation."

"Say it, my Lord." The old eunuch said frankly.

"In the 32nd year of Yuanjing, there should be pills in storage every day, right?"

"Four years later, we can't remember clearly." The old eunuch felt that the eyes of the Gong were introverted and deep, like a whirlpool, which made him very uncomfortable.

No lie..... Xu Qi'an continued to ask: "when checking the pamphlet, I found that the revenue and expenditure records of February 10 and February 20 of that year were vacant, and no pills were sent these days?"

The old eunuch still shook his head and said bitterly, "please tell me, we have forgotten this."

But he didn't lie. An old eunuch doesn't have a magic weapon to block the number of breath. When he is old, he is useless and forgetful. Xu Qi'an returns the pamphlet to the old eunuch and orders: "give me the record of the entrance and exit of the imperial pharmacy in five days. I'll arrange for assistance. "

Assistance means supervising the old eunuchs. The candidate Xu Qi'an has already thought about it, that is, the little eunuch sent by Emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty to supervise him.

, this little father-in-law is the eye liner of Yuan Jing, and any progress he will make will be reported to Yuan Jing in detail.

Lin'an gathered to Xu Qi'an's ear and said in a low voice, "do you suspect that someone has torn up the pamphlet?"

"When the old eunuch looked for the pamphlet, there was obvious dust on the cover. There were several fingerprints on it. The imprint was new. I'm sure it won't take more than five days."

Great!

His highness was more and more confident.

At this time, the little eunuch came to report in a hurry. His face was very ugly and he wanted to say nothing.

"You go down first." Xu Qi'an dismissed the old eunuch who was in charge of the imperial pharmacy.

The little eunuch still didn't say that. He took a careful look at Lin'an.

"I can't listen to you, either?" Lin'an was angry and his eyebrows flew up.

Sure enough, although mounting is not very clever, the unruly and willful princess is not short of disease at all, but she is more partial to me... Xu Qi'an frowned and said, "go ahead."

The little eunuch swallowed his saliva and brewed for a few seconds before he whispered: "he'er is from the Queen's palace."

For a moment, the Hall fell into a dead silence.

He'er is from the Queen's palace. No wonder Huaiqing's mood changes when she hears he'er's name. That is to say, the person who saved Huang xiaorou at the beginning is the empress. In other words, Huang xiaorou has been greatly favored by the queen.

And her role in this case is to murder fufeizi, the vanguard of framing the prince... The queen is in trouble.

"Huhu......"

in his imagination, he heard the heavy breathing of Lin'an beside him.

Worse than that...

"I'll go to my father."

He got up and left with a gnash of teeth.

Xu Qi'an quickly grabbed her hand and comforted her: "Your Highness, it's too early to make a conclusion now."

"It's not obvious that he'er belongs to the queen. Huang xiaorou has been greatly favored by the queen. The queen has always wanted to harm my brother, so that her son can succeed to the crown prince. There's plenty of motivation, isn't there? " Lin'an turned his head and glared at each other:

"now you're blocking me, do you still have a feeling of celebration in your heart?"

She refers to "job hopping". After all, she snatched Xu Qi'an from Huaiqing.

Crouching trough, it sounds like I ate Huaiqing and you again. When it came to Emperor Jingdi of Yuan Dynasty, he would order me to be killed... Xu Qi'an looked at the little eunuch and said in a deep voice:

"this matter involves the queen. Just find out a maid in the palace, you will make a big fuss and impose the charge of killing fufei and injuring the prince on the queen.

"What if it turns out afterwards that the queen was wronged?"

"I don't care. I don't care. The prince is my brother," she said"Your Highness!" Xu Qi'an glared at her and accentuated her tone.

"Hum Lin'an converged his temper and said, "what do you say to do?"

The person who is familiar with her character is not present. Otherwise, she will be surprised. The unruly and willful second princess is so clever in front of a small gong.

"Continue to check. The princess will wait and see what happens."

Lin'an snorted again, obviously not satisfied with the result, but he didn't continue to play.

Xu Qi'an turned to the little eunuch and said, "today's harvest, my father-in-law must tell you everything. However, remember to be simple, just talk about the case and nothing else. "

The interaction between Lin'an and me also likes that you can omit... Xu Qi anxiously said.

The little eunuch thought of his godfather's warning on that day, and he was very moved. Although Lord Xu was not good tempered, he was very kind-hearted, and he knew to worry about such a small person as me.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xu. The slave only talks about the case. He won't talk too much." Cried the little eunuch.

The little father-in-law is very good... Xu Qi'an said, "well," and then said, "later, you go to the father-in-law who is in charge of the Royal pharmacy, and ask him for a list, which will be in and out of the Royal pharmacy in five days. I'll check with your guard secretly. "

"I understand."

Leaving the imperial pharmacy, the time is early noon (11:00), Lin'an said that he would go to his mother's imperial concubine to have a meal, and mercilessly abandoned his fiance.

Xu Qi'an had to eat with the eunuchs. The imperial dining room was for the masters, and the "dining room" for eunuchs and maids was called the small dining room.

In the middle of the journey, I suddenly heard someone behind me shouting: "Lord Xu..."

turning around, a blue robed Taoist came in a hurry and said happily, "Lord Xu, I finally found you."

He knew that Xu Qi'an would definitely go to the small dining room to have a meal. He purposely wandered around and was caught by him.

Those who can go in and out of the palace must be Taoist of Lingbao temple. Xu Qian arched his hand and said, "Taoist priest."

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be," the Taoist approached, respectfully also a salute: "Mr. Xu, Taoist head, please."

"This..." Xu Qian hesitated.

Luo Yuheng is the woman that emperor Jingdi of Yuan Dynasty likes. He is already entangled with his daughter. Don't let emperor Jingdi of Yuan Dynasty be displeased again because he is too close to the beautiful national teacher.

In addition, Luo Yuheng is a second-class strong man. Xu Qi'an doesn't want to get too close to the top strong man who is not familiar with him. In case he suddenly discovers the existence of monk Shenshu... Oh, so you Xu Qi'an is already in the shape of a monk!

Come on, seal it back to Sangpo. You will not be born for five hundred years. I will release it for you when a monk from the West comes to collect scriptures.

Of course, it's OK for the immortal monk Shenshu to survive for 500 years, but what about his promise of Qi'an? He can't borrow another 500 years from heaven.

"The national teacher is waiting for you. I'd like to invite you to have dinner with me." Said the Taoist.

"Good!" Xu Qian agreed.

It's mainly the woman Luo Yuheng... She, she's so attractive.

...

it's Xu Qi'an's second visit to Lingbao temple. Last time, he met Luo Yuheng in order to help Taoist Jinlian get pills.

The patriarch of the clan seemed to like him very much. At that time, he made a very suggestive remark. Unfortunately, Xu Qi'an was a gentleman and ignored her suggestion.

On the wall, there is a table with a dragon dance.

The most simple furnishings, there is no superfluous things.

Daotong brought a big barrel of fast rice, mixed with black rice, corn, millet and other grains, as well as three stacks of vegetables.

"Mr. Xu, please use it slowly. The Taoist priest will come right away." Daotong respectfully retreats.

Xu Qian didn't eat. He looked at the two bowls and chopsticks on the table and nodded with satisfaction.

If this meal is for him to eat alone, he will go back to the palace now.

"Zhi ~"

the newly closed lattice door was pushed open again, and the woman national teacher in the black Taoist robe came in, with her arms bent to brush the dust. The green silk was simply tied with a Taoist hairpin, and a few strands of forehead hair were hanging down, which seemed a bit charming.

A little cinnabar in the center of the eyebrow highlights the sanctity like a fairy, making two different Charms a strange mixture.

"National teacher!" Xu Qi'an got up and arched his hand.

Luo Yuheng nodded and reached for a sign: "please have dinner, Mr. Xu."

"Master, please use eel."

They sat down, served a bowl of rice and ate it by themselves.

Xu Qi'an was not sure about the beauty's intention, so he considered not to open his mouth. He occasionally looked at her at dinner, which was very pleasing to the eyes.

At first glance, this woman is a 20-year-old girl. When you look at her, you will feel that she is a 30-year-old woman. As soon as you pat her ass, she will know how to change her posture.

But after a long time, it's clear that this is a very beautiful mature woman in her early 40s. Her plump figure and the amorous feelings that can't be hidden between her eyebrows and eyes are the killer of men.Xu Qian found the feeling when she first met her - her mother's friend, kind aunt, English teacher and so on.

"Is this woman practicing Taoism or magic?" Xu Qi'an frowned.

The above illusions, of course, are not caused by him. They must be caused by the practice of Renzong, which was endorsed and confirmed by Taoist priest Jin Lian.

None of the three sects of heaven, earth and man is normal. Because of their merits, they become demons. I don't know what happened to people, but there are also sequelae.

As for Tianzong, their way is the biggest problem.

Only when heaven is merciless can it last forever. People are merciless. What's the difference between them and dead things.

According to Xu Qian's understanding, the unity of man and nature is the rule of incarnation.

"According to Taoist Jinlian, Mr. Xu has taken the pill in Yunzhou?" Luo Yuheng spoke.

Why does Taoist Jinlian tell you this? Xu Qi'an is stunned: "yes."

"I want to borrow a bowl of blood essence from Lord Xu as a medicine guide to refine pills and relieve stubborn diseases."

What stubborn disease needs my essence blood to do medicine to lead? Xu Qi'an took a look at her, did not make a statement, but in the heart of the wording, how to refuse her.

In his previous life, he could only test blood type, but in this world, he could play a lot of operations.

The most impressive is the Sorcerer's incantation.

Luo Yuheng seemed to have expected his reaction. He put a chopstick of rice into his ruddy mouth and added: "this is the suggestion of Taoist Jinlian."

Xu Qi'an nodded, "I have to confirm."

Luo Yuheng nodded.

In front of her, Xu Qi'an takes out the fragments of the book. He just wants to send a book to ask. He remembers that he is a dead man and can't speak.

At this time, Luo Yuheng looked at the door and said, "he's here."

Xu Qi'an turned his head and saw an orange cat squatting on the threshold, looking at them with amber vertical pupil.

"Wait, you can't come to the Imperial City..."

The orange cat, with its tail up, is stepping on the soft and silent cat steps and leaping to the table.

Xu Qian gently slapped open, "eat, the idea of cat hair."

Orange cat had to squat on the ground, holding his head high, gentle mouth: "after the injury is good, you can go in and out of the imperial city at will, but the palace still can't go in."

The strength of Taoist priest is stronger than what I imagined... Xu Qi'an is not a rookie now. He wants to sneak into the imperial city without any sound. At least four grades.

Of course, martial arts are not included here.

With the characteristics of Wufu's system, even if it's a product, it can't sneak into the imperial city without any sound. It's likely to be found.

Of course, if you are a Wufu, you can just brush the copy of "Dafeng capital".

"The blood essence is..." although Xu Qi'an trusted Taoist priest Jinlian, he still hesitated.

It's like someone wants to use your computer. Although they are good friends or relatives, they will resist in your heart. After all, whose hard disk doesn't contain hundreds of G's wife.

"Borrow the medicine of Tuotai pill in your blood." Taoist priest Jinlian took a look at Luo Yuheng first. Seeing that she didn't have any expression, he continued:

"it's hard for people to practice. You've known that. Taoist priest Luo suffers from the burning of karma every month, suffering from seven emotions and six desires. "Tuotai pill can remove the old body, give people a new life, and temporarily relieve symptoms."

Xu Qi'an nodded slowly and said boldly: "no wonder I think the national teacher has extraordinary charm."

If Taoist Jinlian was not here, he would not dare to say that.

Taoist priest Jinlian responded: "the practice of human's patriarchal clan is deep and has the appearance of all living beings, which can let you see the most desired side of your heart... I mean love."

Said, orange cat face showed a humanized smile: "what do you see?"

Luo Yuheng raised his head without any expression and took a look at Xu Qian.

Xu Qian's expression suddenly solidified.

This reaction... The Taoist priest of Jinlian was stunned and immediately became interested. He asked, "you seem to have a deep feeling."

I thought I was black silk control, Royal sister control, mature woman control, Laurie control, sister control, and finally found that I was just a simple lecherous... My feelings for this sentence have never been so profound... Xu Qi'an gave a dry smile and gently digged off the topic:

"since Taoist Jinlian is the middleman, I'm willing to do my best."

Luo Yuheng nodded with satisfaction and said in a soft voice, "if you have any pills you want, you can just open your mouth and take them as the compensation of essence and blood."

Jinlian Taoist priest grabbed Xu Qi'an and said, "don't worry. Take your time. The human relationship of the head of the clan is not what ordinary people can get."

Luo Yuheng glanced at the fire.

......

Jingxiu palace.

Lin'an arrived at her mother's house with the bodyguard. She trotted into the house, her red skirt flying, and yelled: "mother's concubine, mother's concubine..."In the room, Princess Chen is secretly wiping her tears. When she sees her daughter running in, she says goodbye to her face and wipes the tears.

The deceitful Lin'an suddenly quieted down, walked slowly to Princess Chen, held her hand, and flashed heartache in her charming peach blossom eyes:

"mother Princess, the prince's brother will be all right, the qingzhe Ziqing, don't cry."

A while ago, she was in a bad mood. Half of it was because of Xu Qi'an's death, the other half was the experience of the prince, and Princess Chen was in tears all day.

As a daughter, watching her mother depressed, weeping day by day, her heart is very difficult, but powerless.

The maid of honor standing on one side whispered: "these days, the prince of the imperial family has come to see the empress. They say that the ministers outside are discussing the matter of setting up another prince.

"After listening to this, she burst into tears and didn't eat much for two days."

"What are you doing with Lin'an?" she said

She angrily called her uncles dogs.

"Lin'an, don't talk nonsense." Chen Guifei took her daughter's little hand and looked sad: "your prince brother is a commoner. Over the years, some people always say that he is not in the right position. If he is abandoned, she doesn't have to worry all the time."

This makes Lin'an angry. She knows that her mother's concubine is the Lord of the harem.

The grand palace maid sighed: "if only the truth of the case could be found out, but there has been no progress for so many days."

The facts of the case should be kept secret. Xu Qi'an stressed to the two princesses several times.

But now, seeing that her mother is getting thinner and her eyes are red and swollen, Lin'an can't help but shout: "who said there was no progress, Xu Qi'an has investigated the case almost."

As soon as Chen Guifei's eyes brightened, she gazed at her daughter: "is the case coming to light? That, that Xu Qi'an is really going to find out? "

Excited, he clenched Lin'an's hand.

"Mother, you hurt me."

Now that he had opened his mouth, he would no longer hide it, saying, "the mother Princess is the crown prince framed by the queen. It must be her."

Chen Guifei's face changed: "Lin'an, no nonsense."

"Don't worry, concubine. Lin'an has solid evidence..."

at present, she tells Chen Guifei the whole story of the case.

"If it was her, would her majesty have put her in the cold and made my son Prince if she hadn't been a woman?"

after many years of fighting for the throne, she began to cry

Chen Guifei's words sounded like thunder in Lin'an's ears.

What did she hear?

Queen does not keep women's way? Father emperor wants to abolish empress?

When did this happen? She didn't know.

Lin'an thinks of the queen who is gentle but lacks a smile. Although she is very angry that she has framed the prince's brother, Lin'an doesn't believe that she is a woman who doesn't abide by women's principles.

However, after accepting this amazing news, many details that we didn't pay attention to in the past have been explained. For example, the queen has been living in seclusion and does not care about the affairs of the harem.

For example, I haven't seen the queen smile since Lin'an remembered. For another example, the queen is indifferent to Huaiqing and the fourth prince, and she has no love for herself and the prince's brother.

"Mother, what's the matter? The queen is not a woman... Who is that man? " Lin'an excitedly grasped Princess Chen's hand, burning with anger.

As her father's favorite daughter, she should be angry when she heard the news.

"Don't, don't ask..." Chen Guifei knew she had made a slip of words and shook her head tearfully: "this is your Majesty's taboo. Don't spread it out."

......

"I don't like to be ungrateful. Please tell me what you want." Luo Yuheng doesn't plan to fulfill the Taoist priest's wishful thinking.

Auntie, I don't want to fight any more... Xu Qi'an cried wildly in his heart.

He couldn't help looking at orange cat for advice on what he didn't think of for the time being.

Orange cat pondered for a long time, and said: "Renzong dominates Kyushu with swordsmanship. You might as well give me a piece of swordsmanship."

"But I use a knife." Xu Qian made a warning.

"Who says swordsmanship can't be done with a knife?" Jinlian Taoist priest asked with a smile.

also, as long as the core essence is extracted, it can be used in the knife method. Just like I can play the world with a knife, it can match the lion's roar to make enemies.

Xu Qi'an nodded slowly.

Luo Yuheng raised his hand and wiped it lightly on the table. Three thin books appeared.

The national master's pleasant voice said: "I have three pieces of swordsmanship here, namely" heart sword "," Qi sword "and" imperial sword ".

"The heart sword needs to be supplemented by the cultivation of the spirit, with the spirit as the sharpening stone, constantly sharpening the sword day by day. It can't cut the flesh, it only cuts the spirit. "Hearing this, Xu Qi'an subconsciously looks at orange cat.

The orange cat's sharp claws popped up and said: "don't provoke Mr. Xu."

Xu Qian immediately withdrew his eyes.

Luo Yuheng continued: "Qi sword is the opposite of heart sword. It's a first-class way to attack and kill. When you practice to a higher level, the Qi of the sword is continuous and invincible."

Xu Qi'an couldn't help but say: "the sword Qi is three thousand li, one sword light cold nineteen States?"

Luo Yuheng couldn't help looking sideways. His beautiful eyes, like a clear water, stayed on Xu Qi'an for a long time. He praised him and said, "it's true that Mr. Xu's poetic talent is peerless. This sentence is full of heroism and has thousands of atmosphere."

It's not what I said. It's what a great writer, who specializes in water manuscript fee, said one word at a time...

"as for the Royal sword technique..." Luo Yuheng waved her hand gently, the doors and windows opened in an instant, and a sword light burst out of her sleeve, whistling around the courtyard.

Quick as thunder, quick as fish.

Xu Qian exclaimed: "imperial sword is really immortal means, so I choose heart sword."

Luo Yuheng was stunned for a moment and nodded: "good."

Although the Royal sword technique is flashy and cool, and the lethality is not low, Xu Qi'an thinks that the heart sword is more suitable for him.

The reason is very simple. His cutting of heaven and earth is extremely extreme: nothing in the world can be cut continuously. If there is, run for your life.

Therefore, when he was practicing, his first consideration was not to increase means, but to perfect heaven and earth.

Or after the Buddha lion roars, this idea becomes more stable.

With control skills and physical damage, what is lacking most now is the output of Yuanshen field.

Luo Yuheng took back Qi Jian and Yu Jian Shu, pushed the sword score of Xin Jian to him, and said, "if you have any doubts, please come to Lingbao temple to find me. I can help you three times

"Thank you, master." Xu Qian sincerely thanks.

Then, Luo Yuheng took out a jade bowl from his sleeve. His slender jade finger held the bowl and pushed it to Xu Qian.

The bowl is not big. It's three times as big as the teacup. Xu Qi'an is more calm. He thought it was the big bowl Xu Lingyin used to eat.

After getting the blood, Luo Yuheng ran to alchemy while it was hot.

In the quiet room, only orange cat and Xu Qi'an were left.

"Taoist priest, you help me shield other people. I want to talk about Li Miaozhen in private."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Qian plans to tell No. 2 about his resurrection.

Xu Qilian's response is to Jin'an's request

"What's the problem?" Xu Qian frowned.

"Li Miaozhen said that she would come to the capital after the Spring Festival. At present, the situation in Yunzhou is expected to wait for the end of suppressing bandits. Anyway, she will come soon. Why hurry for a while?" Jinlian Taoist said.

He is still waiting for Li Miaozhen to know that after Xu Qian's resurrection, he angrily tries his best to find him, so as to disturb the situation and ease the contradiction between the two outstanding disciples of heaven and man.

"Yes, too!" Xu Qi'an nodded.
