Chapter 57
After hearing this, Steward Qian turned pale with shock: "How...how is this possible? My lady has never had any relationship with the Imperial Army. Is there some misunderstanding here?"

Deacon Yan shook his head, and said helplessly, "I don't know what's going on here! You know we're just making incense, how can we know about the official affairs?" After thinking about it, he sighed: "Hey, we The owner of the pavilion has been taken away, I think you should go back and tell Master Qu about it as soon as possible, maybe he still has some ways, don't delay and let the young lady suffer in it."

After hearing this, Steward Qian left immediately and went back to report to Qu Chensong.

In the gazebo of the Qu family's courtyard, Qu Chensong was leaning against the red lacquered pillars, and Qin Shi was sitting beside him fanning a fan and holding a tea bowl for him to taste.

Steward Qian came running in small steps from a distance, but Qu Zhenzhen was nowhere to be seen behind him, so Qin sneered and said, "It seems that Steward Qian is not going to invite Miss Qu to go home."

After hearing this, Qu Chensong coughed twice, and threw the tea bowl on the coffee table, Qin Shi hurriedly stopped talking, not daring to speak.

In the past two days, Qu Chensong's body has gradually improved, but his heart has never been loose.He knew in his heart that as long as he was alive, he would not be able to escape the mission of the family. Even if he died of old age on the way to help the royal family find incense, he could not die of illness at home.

Therefore, he has already made plans to bid farewell to the queen mother and the emperor.But before that, he really wanted to see that stubborn daughter, whom he hadn't seen for many years, who was also his only prostitute.After all, after this time, he will probably never come back just like his father and grandfather.

Seeing Steward Qian coming alone, Qu Chensong only thought that Qu Zhenzhen was still angry with herself and was unwilling to step into this house, feeling a little annoyed in his heart.Unexpectedly, as soon as Steward Qian entered the gazebo, he knelt down with a plop and said, "Master, it's too bad, Miss is locked in jail!"

When Qu Chensong heard this, he stood up anxiously, and coughed as he got up, Qin quickly got up and supported him: "Steward Qian, please explain clearly, what's going on?"

Steward Qian repeated what he heard in Tianxiang Pavilion, and finally said cautiously: "Master, if you ignore Miss this time, no one will be able to save her!"

After hearing this, Qu Chensong didn't say a word, but let Qin Shi persuade him to go back to his room, changed into court clothes, and went to the palace.

I heard that when Qu Chensong begged to see the emperor, Empress Dowager Fan was doing her makeup in front of the mirror. Looking at her pretty face, she was secretly anxious.The one-year period is approaching, but the Zhuyan Pill has not been delivered for a long time. If this continues, I am afraid that this carefully maintained appearance will be destroyed.

Fan Shi was quite surprised when she heard the maid's report.After thinking about it for a while, he guessed that his condition was improving today, so he volunteered to come here.Immediately got up and said: "Go, let's go and have a look."

The search for incense by the Qu family began at the time of Taizu Emperor Mu Liancheng.But it is so secret, except for the emperor himself and the head of the Qu family, almost no one else knows about it, even the empress and favorite concubine can only hear about it occasionally, and they don't know the truth.

When Taizu Mu Liancheng and ancestor Murongrui were alive, they successively sent Qu Chensong's grandfather, Qu Linfeng, and father, Qu Yongzhong, to the sea to find incense.However, on the surface, it is all about looking for the jade seal of the former Kun Dynasty, and there is no mention of searching for incense.The Fan family only learned about it by chance when they heard about the former emperor Mu Tianji. It turned out that they were looking for jade seals on the surface, but their real purpose was to find incense, a kind of incense that can make people live forever, called "Death Fragrance" .

The reason why the Qu family was chosen was because it was reported at the time that Chuan Guo Yuxi and Que Shi Xiang were both in the East China Sea, which was a long way from Ziyang City.Qu Linfeng is Taizu Mu Liancheng's most trusted personal bodyguard, and their family has an inherited ability, that is, they are naturally sensitive to directions, and can tell the direction without relying on a compass. is very necessary.

However, despite this, the two generations of the Qu family have gone forever.It is said that some news about Yuxi and Que Shixiang had also reached Ziyang City, but they were not found in the end.Qu Linfeng and Qu Yongzhong, together with the soldiers who went out to sea together, also sank in the vast East Sea without any news.

When he arrived at the former emperor Mu Tianji's place, he didn't really believe in the theory of immortality, and he didn't have much interest in the jade seal passed down from the previous dynasty, so he never let the Qu family embark on that road of no return.The Qu family thought they could live a stable life from now on, but they didn't expect the Empress Dowager Fan's old story to come up again, and they couldn't avoid this fate in the end.

In the Zichen Hall, Qu Chensong was kneeling on the ground. Seeing that he was thin, Fan said with concern: "Patriarch Qu's body has been ill for a few days, and he has lost a lot of weight. Please get up!" After finishing speaking, he gave him a seat again.

Qu Chensong hurriedly thanked him, but he didn't dare to sit down, he just said: "Thanks to the Queen Mother and the Emperor for your concern, I am now well, and today I am here to ask for orders to go to sea to find something that should belong to our Da'an Kingdom."

The queen mother and the emperor looked at each other and smiled, both quite satisfied.Mu Junyan stood up slightly, raised his hand and gave a little support: "Qu Aiqing is so comforting, I am very relieved, get up quickly, and sit down to talk."

Only then did Qu Chensong cautiously half-sit on the chair, and respectfully said: "It is really an honor for Qu Mou to serve the Emperor and the Empress Dowager."

Fan said with a smile: "Patriarch Qu, I always knew that you are a person who is aware of current affairs, just take stock, if you need to prepare anything, just ask, after you go out, the emperor and the Ai family will take care of your family's food and clothing expenses, You can go at ease."

Hearing what the queen mother said, Qu Chensong quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you, the queen mother, for your care. Everything that my Qu family has is given by the emperor and the queen mother. How dare I bother to take extra care. My Qu family is serving the country. It's my duty, I really shouldn't make any demands." After saying that, he kowtowed deeply.

Qu Chensong didn't get up, but touched the ground with his forehead, and continued: "The old minister is going to leave in three days. Before leaving, I only have one merciless request, and I hope the emperor will approve it."

Looking at his solemn expression, Mu Junyan really couldn't think of what kind of request he would make, so he said, "If Aiqing has any request, just say it."

Qu Chensong raised his head and said: "I heard that my daughter is unworthy and involved in a case in Tianxiang Pavilion, and she has been imprisoned. I am worried about this trip, and I don't know when I will return, so I want the emperor to allow me to love my daughter." Selfishly, let me meet my beloved daughter before leaving." After saying that, he nodded his head and waited for the emperor's reply.

Mu Junyan and the Empress Dowager looked at each other in dismay. They didn't really care about the people involved in the Tianxiang Pavilion case, and they didn't know that Qu Chensong's prostitute was among them.

"You said that your daughter is also in Tianxiang Pavilion? And she was involved in it?" Mu Junyan couldn't figure out why the daughter of a wealthy family would go out to make incense, so he confirmed it again.

Qu Chensong bowed his head and explained: "Reporting to the emperor, it is because the old minister's family education is not strict. A few years ago, my beloved daughter ran away from home after a big quarrel with the old minister because of her marriage. She went to Tianxiang Pavilion to find an errand, and never returned. Home. The veteran also went to Tianxiang Pavilion today to look for her, and only then did he learn that she was imprisoned."

After Mu Junyan listened, he pondered for a moment and said...
