Chapter 117 Qi Shengxin
Xu Yuan was ultimately unable to defeat Shen Yichuan.
After Shen Yichuan left, she walked around the yard again.
The courtyard has two entrances and exits, and is equipped with two bedrooms, a tea room, a study and a kitchen.
There is a pear tree planted against the wall, and next to the pear tree, there is a small pavilion.
It may not be as good as the mansions of wealthy families, but in the capital city where every inch of land is valuable, this courtyard must be very expensive.
Apart from this, this courtyard is extremely close to the four major academies, and is not far from the Grand Tutor's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion. Its geographical location can be said to be excellent.
Xu Yuan sighed and thought for a long time but couldn't figure out how to thank Shen Yichuan, so he could only take a break and pack up his things.
She didn't have much stuff, so after putting it away one by one, she went out and bought some more things, and that was it.
As it was getting dark, Xu Yuan found a book to read and did not go to his bedroom to rest until the moon was above the willow trees.
Maybe because he had been busy for days, he fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed.
In the yard, the last light went out.
Gongzi Qin then quietly came out and entered the study. He turned the switch on the bookshelf, and soon the bookshelf moved to both sides, revealing a secret door.
She pushed the door open, walked through the secret passage, and came directly to another courtyard. When she saw someone, she immediately clasped her fists and said, "I greet the Third Master."
Bei Yao heard the voice and turned around to ask, "Is she asleep?"
"Mr. Xu has already gone to bed."
"Has there been any unexpected events in the past two months?"
Gongzi Tan shook his head and told him everything: "Mr. Xu is very smart and can endure hardships. He pretended to be a passerby all the way and did not attract the attention of others. However, it seems that more than one subordinate is following Mr. Xu secretly, there are others."
Beiyao thought for a moment and said, "It should be Ge Shuwang's people."
Making a wish now is the hope of the Geshu tribe.
Geshu Wang would not watch Xu Yuan get into trouble, so it is reasonable for him to send experts to protect him.
“Do we need to find out? And then…” Gongzi Qin made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"It's okay. As long as her life is not in danger, you don't need to show up."
"Yes." Young Master Qin nodded.
"You've worked hard these past two months. You don't have to stay with her tonight. Go to Xiaoxieyuan and rest."
Gongzi Tan said: "Yes."
After saying that, Gongzi Qin slowly retreated and happened to meet Chen Shan who had returned. The two men looked at each other and then quickly looked away.
Chen Shan entered the yard and said, "Third Master, everything is ready at the Buddha Temple, but what if Sun Wenjie doesn't come?"
"He will come." Bei Yao smiled. "The Wei Chenggong incident is a hot potato now. If he doesn't investigate it thoroughly, he will be guilty of dereliction of duty if the truth is revealed in the future. If he just keeps investigating the case, how long do you think he can survive? The best way is to throw this matter out. Among them, the safest and least likely person to participate is the Third Prince who has never left the capital, that is, me."
"Then Third Master..." Chen Shan hesitated.
"It doesn't matter. Compared to the throne, I prefer competing with my brother. Just like today at the court this morning, the prince was so angry that he couldn't even speak. Maybe he didn't expect that he would shoot himself in the foot."
Bei Yao looked up at the night sky and said, "It's just right. While the crown prince is under house arrest for a month, let's investigate this matter thoroughly."
Chen Shan didn't respond.
At the morning court today, a minister reported that the prince had lost the city defense map. Fortunately, it was found by Shen Yichuan, so he was able to escape danger.
The emperor was furious when he heard this, and immediately confined the prince to his home for a month as a warning to others.
It is said that after the prince returned home, he smashed almost everything in the study.
Chen Shan was silent. Outside the door, Chen He also came in. Seeing Bei Yao, he said, "Third Master, the Queen has gone to Jing'an Palace. I'm afraid Chen Hu can't handle it alone."
Beiyao cannot leave the palace, let alone leave the capital for a long time.
The reason he could leave so recklessly was because there was someone in the capital pretending to be him.
Although he was favored, few people set foot in Jing'an Palace
The emperor is busy with all kinds of affairs and won't care about him every day. The queen doesn't even want to see him, so Bei Yao is not worried about being exposed.
But today the Queen went again...
Bei Yao was silent for a moment, then said, "Return to the palace."
-
Xuyuan woke up to the sound of birds singing. The moment he opened his eyes, he felt as if he had returned to his previous life.
She was not reborn, nor did she send Zhang Yue to the military camp. Everything was just a pipe dream for her, and all her efforts were just fantasies.
He made a wish in silence for a long time before he calmed his uneasy heart.
Sishui County is located in the north, and it is so cold in winter that you can hardly hear the birds singing.
But Shangjing City is different.
Xu Yuan also discovered that the closer she got to Shangjing, the easier it was for her to recall things from her past life.
Those things were like nightmares, following her everywhere and keeping her awake every night.
After Xuyuan got up, he did not rush to eat, but went to the study. After finishing writing the letter, he took the letter and prepared to go out.
Tianqi has a messenger, and as long as he knows the address, he can send a letter, but the journey is far, and Xu Yuan doesn't know when his family will receive the letter.
Today, all she had to do was send a letter and then go to the academy to ask how to enroll.
In her previous life, she entered the Wenhua Palace and knew very little about how to enter an academy.
As soon as Xu Yuan opened the door, she saw a carriage slowly approaching. She paused for a moment, stepped back, and prepared to wait until the carriage passed before going out.
In the capital, those who can ride a horse are either rich or noble, and those who can ride in a carriage are also either rich or noble.
Xu Yuan has lived in the capital for several years, and some habits have long been engraved in his bones.
However, what she didn't expect was that the carriage stopped right in front of her house.
A servant came out, one of them stood upright and said, "Master, we're here."
The other one bent down and put the stool in place.
Xuyuan looked at it, somewhat confused.
A deep voice came from inside the carriage: "Okay."
No one came out, and Xu Yuan saw this and asked, "What's your name, sir? Why are you stopping at my door?"
After making the wish, the curtain of the car opened slightly.
The man sat upright in the middle of the carriage, looking down at him. Although his expression was gentle, his tone was not very good.
"Mr. Xu, my surname is Qi, and I am the brother of the woman you rescued yesterday."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan bowed and asked, "What can I do for you, Master Qi?"
When Xuyuan saw the man's appearance, he knew who he was.
Qi Shengxin, the legitimate son of the Prime Minister, and the elder brother of Qi Shengzhu.
There are two talented men of equal stature standing side by side.
One is Shen Yichuan, and the other one is Qi Shengxin.
Both of them are talented, the only difference is probably their personalities.
Shen Yichuan is more unruly and doesn't care about passing the imperial examinations, but Qi Shengxin is different. Qi Shengxin is kind-hearted and in the same year that Shen Yichuan decided to take the national examination, he also took it, wanting to compete with him.
In the end, Qi Shengxin lost.
However, compared to Qi Shengxin's talent, what people talk about more is another thing: he is affectionate and especially caring for his sister.
Hearing Xu Yuan's words, Qi Shengxin lowered the curtain and said, "My sister said that the horse was frightened yesterday, and fortunately Mr. Xu helped. She wanted to invite Mr. Xu to her house for a meal to express her gratitude, but she felt that since I am a woman, it would be inconvenient to invite him, so she asked me to come. I wonder if Mr. Xu can give her a favor?"
