Chapter 7 Meeting the Prince

The little eunuch lowered his head and said: Mr. Xu first went to Princess Lin'an's Shaoyinyuan. The two of them said something behind the rockery for a long time. When they came out, Princess Lin'an's eyes were red, as if they had just cried...

Hearing this, Emperor Jing of Yuan frowned and interrupted: What are they doing behind the rockery?

The old eunuch glanced at Emperor Jing's expression and knew that His Majesty was unhappy.The princess and Xu Tongluo arrived behind the secluded rockery, and then the princess looked red with red eyes.

This is really fascinating.

To be honest.The old eunuch stared at him.

It's... it's because Princess Lin'an came out with a knife at that time.When Xu Tongluo saw him, he hid behind the rockery.It was still the slave who told the princess that Xu Tongluo was hiding in the rockery.The little eunuch quickly explained, trembling and dared not hide it.

The old eunuch immediately looked at Emperor Jing of Yuan. Seeing that Li Guang in His Majesty's eyes had already restrained, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said: You continue talking.

Then Lord Xu and the princess entered the hall, and the slave was driven out. His Highness and Lord Xu talked in the hall for two quarters of an hour.The slave didn't know the content of the conversation.When the little eunuch said this, he finally expressed his grievances:

It’s not a dereliction of duty, it’s just that Lord Xu’s attitude is too tough.

After saying that, he carefully glanced at Emperor Yuan Jing from the corner of his eyes.

He was disappointed, Emperor Jing of Yuan had no expression, so the little eunuch had to continue saying: Then Lord Xu took his slave and Princess Lin'an to see the body of Concubine Fu.

During the process, Lord Xu wanted to touch the body of Concubine Fu, but the slave tried his best to stop him, but failed and was kicked by him.

Otherwise, the little eunuch would keep it hard to deal with it. The little eunuch kept it in his heart and waited for some eye drops to give Xu Qi'an some eye drops.

Sure enough, Emperor Jing of Yuan frowned.

The old eunuch who had been with him for decades asked on behalf of his master: How did he test it?

I just touched it repeatedly for a long time.The little eunuch replied.

He dared not exaggerate because if Emperor Jing of Yuan was furious, he just needed to find someone to check and question Xu Qi'an. The lies were immediately exposed. The crime of deceiving the monarch would not be violated by the little eunuch.

The old eunuch asked: What's next?

Then... he left.The little eunuch said: However, Lord Xu and Princess Lin'an told him that there was something strange about Concubine Fu's death.

Is there something else?Emperor Jing of Yuan finally spoke again, sitting in a straight position, leaned forward slightly, staring at the little eunuch.

Lord Xu said that when falling from the building normally, his face should be facing down, not his back, but Concubine Fu did die with her back facing down.It is very likely that someone pushed it down.

The little eunuch gave Xu Baipiao's analysis and retelling it in its original form to Emperor Jing of Yuan.

He was pushed down and killed by someone... Emperor Jing of Yuan squinted his eyes, looked up at the ceiling, pondered for a long time, and said:

Go back.

The little eunuch retreated.

The old eunuch smiled and said: Xu Qi'an is indeed well-known. The three judicial departments investigated for many days and were helpless. As soon as he arrived, he immediately discovered the clue.The time to solve the case is just around the corner.

Emperor Jing of Yuan snorted coldly: It’s not that the Three Laws and Laws cannot handle cases, but they just don’t want to handle them.However, Xu Qian does have some skills.

He was still satisfied.

After a pause, Emperor Jing of Yuan said: I will pass on my oral order, and ask the cabinet to draft an edict to restart the matter of Xu Qi'an's title.

The old eunuch received the order to leave the bedroom, but did not go to the cabinet immediately, but instead found the little eunuch who came to supervise Xu Qi'an's case and slapped his hand.

Godfather?

The little eunuch covered his face aggrievedly.

When is it that you are still fooling with me?Do you think Your Majesty can't hear it? Do you know that you just walked away at the gate of hell?The old eunuch said harshly:

Your Majesty is irritated when you are about Concubine Fu. At this time, you are playing with your little eyes in front of His Majesty. It is purely because you have nothing to do today.

If you ask you to supervise Xu Qi'an, you should supervise it well and do not bring personal goods. The people he contacts in the harem all do involve concubines, princesses and princes.You cannot have any prejudice or opinions, otherwise you will be disguising the nobles.

Your Majesty will judge what Xu Qi'an has done for himself. The young eunuch instilled his own private goods is to interfere with the emperor's family.

The little eunuch lowered his head and said tremblingly: My son understands.

The old eunuch snorted: Lord Xu drove you out for your own good. If you really listen to what you shouldn't have heard, the day the case is closed is when your head falls to the ground.

The little eunuch was stunned at first, and a few seconds later, he figured it out, his face suddenly pale, and a layer of cold sweat emerged from behind.

The grudge against Xu Qi'an's kick disappeared.

……

dusk.

Xu Qi'an sat on the back of a horse, his beloved little mare trotted. He squinted his eyes, faced the orange sunshine, and hummed lightly in his mouth:

What you walk is the way of the world; what you carry is the flag that is against the wind, you are not greedy for prostitution or be a good official, and the people have you in their hearts...

The little mare dada, entered the Jiaofangsi alley.

After entering the entrance of the alley, Xu Qi'an turned over and dismounted, threw the reins to the servant in Qing's clothes guarding the entrance of the alley, and threw a piece of silver over there.

The gate of Yingmei Xiao Pavilion was closed, but it was closed?

Xu Qi'an glanced at the afterglow in the west and thought to himself that at this time, the manager of the Jiaofang was open.

Slap sex...

He looked up and knocked on the gate of Yingmei Xiao Pavilion. Not long after, the door opened. As soon as a crack was exposed, the servant in the green clothes inside said:

Yingmei Pavilion no longer accepts drinkers, so the guests will go to the other courtyard...

When the gate of the courtyard opened, the servant in Qingyi was stunned when he saw Xu Qi'an and stammered: You, you are...

I am Xu Daguan from your wife.Xu Qi'an raised his eyebrows.

Demon Ah!

The servant in green screamed and ran away. His legs were fast, and then he found himself stepping on the spot, and Xu Qi'an was holding the collar of his back.

What are you calling out? I'm still alive.Xu Qian raised his other hand and asked, "I slap him two but loudly," he asked:

Is this official's slap warm?

The hot and hot touch was that the servant in Qingyi believed that Xu Qi'an in front of him was a living person, but he was wondering why he changed drastically and was wearing a mink hat.

You are back, Fuxiang's wife is crying every day, depressed and relieved, and everyone is much clearer.The servant in Qingyi hurriedly showed his master's favorability.

Although he was curious about the reason why Xu Qi'an was resurrected from the dead, he did not dare to ask.

I immediately went to inform her and said you were back.

You told her that the guest was coming and asked her if she could come out to drink.Xu Qi'an.

The servant in Qingyi hurried into the depths of the yard, stood in the courtyard outside Fuxiang's bedroom, and shouted: Madam, a guest is here, ask if you want to go out to drink with you.

Fuxiang did not answer, and the maid's scolding came from the room: My wife is unwell and will not drink with her.Who asked you to open the door? Do you want the dog paw?

Xu Qi'an coughed, "Fuxiang's wife doesn't accompany her guests, so I'll leave."

The room suddenly became quiet, and then the trembling sound of Fuxiang came: Xu Lang?

His voice changed greatly, and Fu Xiang didn't dare to confirm it for a while.

Xu Qi'an smiled and said: It's me.

The sound of ping-pong came from the room, as if it had knocked over something, followed by the maid's scream: Madam, slow down...

The next moment, the door opened, wearing a white long skirt, naked white jade feet, and the fragrance of black hair was casually dispersed. He pushed open the door and rushed out roughly.

One person stood under the eaves and the other person stood in the yard, and the picture seemed to be solidified.

Xu Qian said helplessly: It’s cold outside, go back to the house.

Fuxiang then whined, threw herself into his arms, and started crying sadly.

……

This is how things happened. Not only did I not die, I became a blessing in disguise and benefited a lot.

Xu Qi'an sat at the table, drinking the wine from the Jiaofangsi, and explaining to Fuxiang the whole story of his resurrection.

Fu Xiang sat on the edge of the bed, with her skirt forked, revealing a long, white python-like leg. There was a bruise on her fair skin on her calves. The maid helped apply ointment.

This was the time I ran too fast and hit me.

Fuxiang's mood is very complicated now, with both the joy of losing and regaining, as well as the sadness and palpitations that are difficult to hide, and his heart is always empty.

As soon as I think of Xu Lang's death, my heart is still empty.

It's okay, you'll feel very swelling later.

When the sun was completely set, a row of maids brought in a table full of delicious food, flying in the sky, swimming in the water, and climbing on the ground.

The two sat at the table and drank, with casual topics and no topics.

In fact, many scholars in the capital admire Xu Lang very much. Yesterday, the maid heard about your death from the Jiaofangs and the scholars sighed and said that the sky was the extinction of Xu Ning Banquet, which was the future of the Dafeng poetry world.

Speaking of which, when I faced thousands of rebels that day, I fought alone and exhausted, I did write a poem.Xu Qi'an held the wine glass.

The beautiful eyes are shining, and the face is full of bright smiles. I am extremely looking forward to it: I want to listen to Xu Lang's new work.

I always feel a little ashamed when I was a copycat... I am indeed an upright man... Xu Qi'an said this in his heart, but when it is time to show off, he will never be vague.

He was silent for a few seconds, and made his temperament calm, and slowly said:

The boy is chivalrous and has a friendship with the five capital heroes.The liver and gallbladder holes, the hair is towering, the conversation is in the middle of the conversation, life and death are the same, and a promise is worth a thousand gold.

Fu Xiang looked at him in a daze, the water rippling in his beautiful eyes was charming and blurred.

I savored this poem in my heart. Although it was a broken word, the scene of him facing thousands of rebels and waiting for death flashed through my mind.

She became more and more obsessed with this man and couldn't extricate herself.

Don't just stay idle, I tell you it has a purpose.Xu Qi'an tapped the table with his finger.

Purpose?

Fuxiang came back to his senses and responded with a confused look.

Help me spread, the Jiaofangsi is most suitable for promoting these glorious deeds.

Governor Zhang didn't even add his lyrics to the memorials, which was simply confused.This has caused the officialdom and scholars in the capital to have not read his excellent works until now.

How anxious they have to be.

……oh.

After dinner, the maid cooked hot water and prepared to serve Xu Daren to take a shower.

You retreat.Xu Qi'an sent the maid away and left Fuxiang alone in the house.

After Fuxiang was wearing a tulle and stepped into the bathtub, Xu Qi'an pulled off the mink hat on his head.

A large bare braised egg.

puff……

Fu Xiang couldn't help laughing, lying on the edge of the bathtub, laughing so hard that the branches trembled.

Is there anything funny? Although I have become bald, I have become stronger... Xu Qi'an glared at her.

His hair will probably take half a year to grow back.

……

Fuxiang’s breasts are not chests. When Xu Qi'an’s head cushion is on, it becomes a brain pad.

If Xu Qian turns over again, it will be called facial cleanser.

After taking a shower, the two of them lay on the bed, talking, Fu Xiang was a little stuffy and couldn't breathe, and she pushed the big bald head away from her chest with coquettishness.

puff!

Xu Qi'an popped up a qi machine and extinguished the candle.

The next day, under the service of the courtesan, Xu Qi'an said goodbye to the floating fragrance that was reluctant to leave but dark circles.

The maids of Yingmei Pavilion looked at Xu Qi'an's back and stepped out of the yard and whispered:

Mr. Xu is so amazing. I think the bed in my wife's room should be replaced.

It's Ah, it's just as it sits and it's almost broken up. Thank you so hard.

Go and boil water quickly, my wife wants to take a shower.In addition, when I prepared some loquat paste, my wife's voice became hoarse.

Leaving Yingmei Pavilion, the spring was chilly and the cold current that rushed towards Xu Qi'an cheered up and he walked towards the horse shed.

Suddenly, a hard lump was stepped on under my feet. I looked down and saw that it was a purse.

After entering the God Refining Realm, have you directly upgraded to picking up a purse... Xu Qi'an was a little happy, so he naturally bent down and picked it up, intending to put it in his arms.

He was suddenly stunned.

This purse is exactly the same as the one hanging on his waist, with fine stitches and embroidered with a pine and cypress tree, which was sewn by Lingyue's sister stitched it out with stitches.

Second uncle?

As the thought emerged, Xu Qi'an saw a young man in a Confucian shirt running hurriedly towards the horse tent. The young man had red lips and white teeth, his eyes were like stars, and his facial features were beautiful. He perfectly inherited his mother's excellent genes.

I really didn't expect this... Xu Qian said with sincerity.

The handsome young man's eyes kept floating around the ground, and finally floated to Xu Qi'an, and then he was stunned.

Xu Qi'an twitched his lips and raised his hand to say hello: Damn Ah.

...Xu Erlang looked at him and his lips moved: "Good...

The two brothers looked at each other silently. After a moment, Xu Qi'an took the initiative to break the awkward atmosphere, walked over, and returned the purse to Erlang:

Be careful, but fortunately I picked up the purse.

Xu Erlang took it calmly and nodded and said: Thank you, brother.

The two brothers couldn't find the topic for a while, so they had to walk side by side towards the horse shed, lead their respective horses, and walk out of the Jiaofangsi.

It was just dawn, and there were few pedestrians besides vendors and peddlers.

Yesterday I was with my classmates...

Yesterday with my colleagues...

The two brothers spoke in unison.

Xu Qi'an looked back at Jiaofangsi Hutong, looked at the little brother with a squint eyes and said: Where are the classmates?

Xu Xinnian looked ahead and said lightly: Where are the colleagues?

The brothers lost their topic again.

Xu Qi'an remembered that when he was released from prison and went home, Xu Xinnian died of social life because of the eternal night of Dafeng, and pretended to be in a coma in shame.

Looking at it now, he was caught on the spot in Jiaofangsi, but his face remained unchanged.

It’s not me who grew up alone, Erlang has become much thicker... Well, maybe he died in front of me too many times, and he got used to it... Xu Qi'an saw someone selling green oranges on the roadside, so he hurriedly held the reins: Wait a minute.

Xu Xinnian followed him and seemed confused.

Xu Qi'an bought a pound of green oranges and asked Xu Erlang to get off the horse. He peeled and wiped his clothes while saying:

The girls in Jiaofangsi have too much powdery smell. They cover up with green orange peel juice, and even the woman with a sharp nose cannot smell it.

Xu Erlang acted neatly, and seized the opportunity to activate the poisonous tongue attribute and mocked:

The eldest brother is very active, it is a pity not to study.

Xu Qi'an glanced at him, the second uncle taught me the method.

Xu Xinnian seemed to say nothing, lowered her head and carefully applied her clothes with green orange peel.

After finishing, Xu Qi'an handed the green orange to Xu Xinnian and said: I want to go to the palace to handle the case, you can bring the orange home.

Erlang frowned and said: Handling the case?What case do you want to handle?

I have heard of the case of Concubine Fu, and the emperor threw it to me.Xu Qi'an explained.

What are you involved in this shit case?

Yunlu Academy has a special channel of information, and what happened in the capital cannot be hidden from the Academy.

I can't help but refuse.

Xu Xinnian sneered: If you ask your father to give you a blow and then use the reason to recover from the injury, the case will naturally be ruthless.Besides, this case will inevitably be difficult to investigate.

Erlang is indeed suitable for the officialdom, and his degree of blackness meets the standard... Xu Qi'an smiled and said: In fact, it is best to investigate cases in the palace.

Because the palace masters are the old nest of Emperor Jing of Yuan, those fancy systems cannot be interfered with.The case of Concubine Fu is probably the most normal case he has ever handled since he came to this world.

Xu Xinnian nodded and looked at Qingju in disgust: Qingju is sour and astringent, and no one at home can eat it.

You can't waste it if you buy it, give it to Lingyin.

Good idea.

……

Dali Temple.

At the grand yamen, Xu Qi'an sat on the back of a horse and glanced at the three large gilded characters of Dali Temple.

Dali Temple is in charge of the trial of criminal prison cases, which is equivalent to Xu Qi'an's Supreme People's Court in his previous life.It is known as the Three Justice Departments together with the Censorate and the Ministry of Justice.

Usually when encountering major cases, the emperor will ask the three courts to fight and try them together.This shows how powerful Wei Yuan, who was in charge of the Killing Renren Yamen and the Censorate, was.

Emperor Jing of Yuan used only him to check and balance the civil and military officials.

Similarly, it can be seen how lucky Xu Qi'an is. He happened to join the fighter and was appreciated by Wei Yuan.From a Changle County Kuaishou to a person who can walk sideways in the capital.

Go and find the Minister of Dali Temple and ask him to come out to meet his official position.Xu Qi'an showed off the gold medal and said to the yamen runners on duty at the yamen:

If he didn't come out, the official would go to the palace to complain to His Majesty, saying that he deliberately made things difficult for him and obstructed the case.

The yamen runner hurried in.

A quarter of an hour later, the Dali Temple Minister brought two Shaoqings and a group of Dali Temple officials to greet him.

Mr. Xu, if you have any mistakes, you will welcome you.The Dali Temple Queen came out with a smile.

Xu Qi'an stepped on the horse's back and greeted him enthusiastically: Oh, why did you disturb Lord Pei from here in person? The subordinate is ashamed, ashamed.

Xu Qi'an asked the Dali Temple Minister to come out to meet him, just to make him look ugly and to slapped his face.

One of the nine ministers went out of the yamen to meet a small gong, and he was so embarrassed... Everyone had a holiday, and they could not make good use of it when they were wearing small shoes.

It should be, it should be.

The minister of Dali Temple led Xu Qi'an inward and said: Lord Xu is coming back just in time. You must be the case of Concubine Fu.However, I have to remind Lord Xu that this case is dangerous, so don’t get into Ah.

This is gloating.

The Fufei case was dealt with as a offender.It cannot be done to offend Emperor Jing of Yuan.

At least I get a viscount, what's the point of offending the old emperor... Xu Qi'an smiled:

It’s okay, before getting caught in, you must take those annoying old guys away.Anyway, if you have a gold medal in hand, the power to kill first and then report is useless.

The Dali Temple Minister squinted his eyes, Lord Xu was really good at joking.

Lord Xu came to Dali Temple this time for the prince?

That's right.

……

Xu Qi'an met the prince in the prison room. The so-called prison room was actually a clean and tidy room. The layout was not luxurious, but the sparrow was small and had all the internal organs.

The prince was locked in the room and could not leave until the case was found out.

He is worthy of being the Prince Ah, and being in jail is different from ordinary people... Xu Qi'an said with sincerity.

After the closed-door officials retreated, he clasped his fists and said: I am a humble official position and I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

You are here to try this palace. Did your father ask you to preside over the trial of this case?The prince sat at the table and looked at Xu Qi'an.

The Three Laws evaded and refused to interfere in this matter. They could only find me, the hob, anyway, I have offended enough people.Xu Qi'an shrugged, sat down at the table, and poured himself a glass of water.

The prince saw all his actions.

Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to describe the events of that day in detail.

The prince nodded slightly, and said for a moment, slowly: When the Japanese Palace finished lunch at his mother's residence and the snow had not melted yet, I took the guards back to the East Palace. On the way, I met a palace maid next to Concubine Fu. The palace maid said that Concubine Fu invited the palace to come over and talk.

I followed her to Qingfeng Hall, which was Fufei's bedroom.After entering Qingfeng Hall, the palace maid led me to the attic and asked me to wait in the outer hall, saying that Concubine Fu was changing her clothes.

I was drunk too much and was very thirsty, so I drank the tea on the table to quench my thirst, and somehow I fell asleep in a daze.

Then he was awakened by screams. Unexpectedly, Concubine Fu fell to his death, and this palace became the biggest suspect.

Xu Qian asked without any expression: Didn’t there be any palace maids in the attic at that time?

There is no outside hall, I don’t know inside.

Where is that palace maid?

Missing.

Missing Ah... Xu Qi'an's eyes flashed with sharp light, his arms were on the table, staring at the prince: How did the prince know that the palace maid was missing?

For a moment, the prince was shocked by the sharp momentum of this little gong.

Although this palace is in prison, it has its own way to inquire about the outside world.The prince said with a cold face.

He was angry at the moment of shock he had just now.

Contacting the prince's calm performance when he saw him, Xu Qi'an believed his words.

Does Concubine Fu usually have any interaction with the prince?Xu Qi'an asked.

Of course not.

The prince denied it immediately that as the Eastern Palace, it was impossible and should not have any private interactions with the emperor's concubine.

Then why did Concubine Fu send someone to invite the prince, and the prince went to the appointment without even thinking about it?Xu Qi'an hit the nail on the head.

This palace...was drunk too much and was not thinking well.The prince's face was a little unnatural.

Bah, it's not just a greedy person.

In fact, Xu Qian, as a man, understands the prince's psychology very well.Concubine Fu is a beautiful woman with good looks and temperament. The prince may not have no reverie in the past.

It happened that I drank too much that day, and it was also a wine to strengthen the aphrodisiac and nourish the kidneys... People who have experienced drinking slightly drunk know that in that state, people are very floating.I dare to do things I don’t dare to think about now.

I don’t dare to say anything I usually blurt out my mouth as soon as I touched it.

It happened that Concubine Fu invited her, but she didn't even invite her. She moved her mind and passed...

It sounds like someone is setting up a trap for His Royal Highness.Xu Qi'an analyzed.

Of course, someone framed me, and Lord Xu thought so.The prince breathed a sigh of relief.

No, no, no, the case handling cannot be so subjective.I just elaborated on one possibility, and there is another possibility.Xu Qi'an held the table again, leaned over and approached the prince, and said word by word:

That day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince drank too much and was distracted. He couldn't help but think of the long-coveted Concubine Fu.Anyway, Your Majesty is addicted to practicing Taoism and is not close to women.His Royal Highness, the prince, became disgusted from his heart, and turned to Qingfeng Palace, trying to defile Concubine Fu.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Fu was zhen and unyielding, and refused to obey her. During the dispute, you accidentally pushed her out of the attic and accidentally fell to death.Then you send someone to secretly get rid of a palace maid and pretend that you were being blamed.

Nonsense!

His Royal Highness slapped the table and stood up in anger: Xu Qi'an, you dare to slander me, you dare to slander me.

Your Highness, don’t worry, this is just a guess from humble officials. The truth remains to be verified.Xu Qi'an smiled and complimented.

Tsk, the prince’s scheming is still not deep enough. Do you care too much about location?How can you become an emperor in the future at this level?

The prince and Lin'an are not extremely smart people.Xu Qi'an became increasingly suspicious that Emperor Jing of Yuan made the eldest son of the concubine the crown prince, which had no intention.

After the prince calmed down, Xu Qi'an asked again: The sorcerer from Sitianjian has visited Your Highness.

This matter involves this palace, Fufei, and Dafeng's Kingdom. Do you think your father would believe in the sorcerer of Si Tianjian?The prince sneered and asked.

Xu Qi'an nodded. After staying in the capital for so long, he could see some tricks.

Although Sitianjian needs to rely on the royal family and the luck of the dynasty, this can be seen from the recognition of Chu Caiwei's promotion to the sixth rank of the people in the capital.

But the First-Pin Supervision Office is too strong, so Sitian Supervision is not a pure vassal, and it is more like a cooperative relationship with Dafeng.

When it comes to the case of the crown prince, Emperor Jing of Yuan may not be as trusted as Si Tianjian.And Si Tianjian may not be willing to interfere in such a mess.

The humble official also needs to check the body of His Highness the Crown Prince, and I hope His Highness will cooperate.

Xu Qi'an grabbed the prince's hand and checked his wrists, arms, and then his neck... without claw marks or scratches.

The humble official will find out the truth as soon as possible. If the prince is wronged, he will naturally give you a cleansing.Xu Qi'an stood up and clasped his fists.

etc!

His Highness the Crown Prince stopped him and said in a deep voice: Are you too close to Lin'an?
