Book with Emperor

Chapter 35
Half of the officials in central Beijing were arrested, and the news that several officials from Nanlu Academy were sent to prison quickly spread. In the face of such big news, the news that the culprit, Dongcheng Wang Ningying, was arrested was ignored by people. .

On the contrary, after this incident, everyone in the capital knew about a person they had never heard of——Qin Guanyue.

The new young teacher first appeared without warning at the state banquet where His Majesty greeted the Empress, and then silently killed half of the famous officials in the entire capital, and even exchanged half of the blood for the court hall. , The means are not vicious.

Everyone knows that the direction of the wind has changed. Some people have begun to waver, but more people still choose to watch the fire from the other side. After all, the Nanlu Party is deeply rooted in the government and its reputation among the people is far-reaching. His Majesty's desire to suppress them is definitely not a temporary thing.

Sure enough, after Huo Qiu fell ill and returned home, students from several major academies in Beijing, headed by Nanlu Academy, wrote articles accusing Qin Guanyue of deceiving the public with his deceitful words. Zhang Xun and others severely punished Qin Guanyue.

Ning Zhao naturally ignored them, so several colleges gathered hundreds of students to sit around the gate of the imperial palace, which they had to pass through in the morning, and waited for the young master Qin Guanyue to intercept them when he went to court.

However, these hundred students sat at the gate of the palace hungry and cold for three whole days, and they did not wait for Qin Guanyue.

Howard House.

"What? Didn't wait?"

Huo Qiu sat on the bed with his coat on, and looked at Guangluqing Zhao Yiqin in front of him with a look of anger, "How is it possible?"

Zhao Yiqin smiled wryly, "Your Excellency, you don't know about recuperating at home. In the past few days, Qin Guanyue didn't go to court at all!"

Huo Qiu was so angry that his chest hurt.

Beijing Xishan Bieyuan.

Behind the huge mountain and river screen is a wide soup pool made of gold and silver. Pearls are inlaid where the faucet enters the water. A layer of white mist covers the warm water, and hot air mixed with sulfur smell blows towards the face.

Qin Guanyue soaked in the hot spring, closed her eyes, and looked relaxed.

Xiao Mingyang took off his clothes behind him, sat across from her, took a sip of the millet wine, and looked at her with a smile, "You've spent three days with me, don't you need to go to court?"

"take a vacation."

"You dare not go back?"

Xiao Mingyang moved to her side with a smile, "You turned the whole capital upside down by you, and you go here for vacation by yourself, don't you want to piss them off?"

Qin Guanyue opened her eyes and poured herself a cup of herbal tea, "I'm a weak girl, how can I go head-to-head with them, it's unnecessary."

Seeing her drinking tea, Xiao Mingyang was slightly dissatisfied, "Will you drink any wine?"

"Alcohol hurts the brain and hinders thinking."

Qin Guanyue glanced at her, "You drink less too, and be careful not to faint in the pool."

"Rice wine, it's okay, I could drink a catty of it for a meal in my previous life."

"……Where are you from?"

"northeastern."

"..."

"Ugh……"

Xiao Mingyang held his long hair, leaned against the pool wall, and sighed while drinking rice wine, "Xiangwei also has hot springs, but it's a pity that they can't be moved to my palace."

Qin Guanyue often heard her talking about the imperial palace before realizing that this was a genuine feudal emperor.

"Why have you never heard you call yourself me?"

"No need, it's troublesome."

Xiao Mingyang said casually, "And that kind of self-proclaimed self-respect, if you talk too much, it is easy to forget who you are, and then you really think that you are the only self-respect."

"That's it."

Qin Guanyue smiled, and said slowly, "Too many people only want to protect the people around them before sitting in that seat, but after sitting in that seat, they forget why they came here."

Xiao Mingyang tilted his head slightly, "Why do I think you mean something else?"

"Overthinking."

She was close, Qin Guanyue looked over with some disgust, but caught a glimpse of a knuckle-long scar on her heart, "How did you do it?"

"It was shot with an arrow a few years ago."

"..."

Qin Guanyue was a little surprised, never thought that Xiao Mingyang's identity would be life-threatening.

"What's your expression? I stole the throne. I was just an unfavored princess back then. You can't expect me to inherit the throne, can you?"

Xiao Mingyang sighed solemnly, "I'm not as lucky as you. Qin Tianjian is in Xinshou Village, and I've come here by hacking people level by level."

Qin Guanyue thought of those legends about Empress Xiangwei, and said, "I don't think I'm so lucky."

"Ok?"

"..."

Qin Guanyue stretched out her palm towards her, Xiao Mingyang looked down, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

On that white and clean palm was a half-bloomed blood-colored red lotus, occupying the smaller half of the palm, lifelike, as if it would bloom at any moment, looking creepy and coquettish.

"Tattoo?"

"...It's poison."

"real or fake?"

Xiao Mingyang grabbed her palm with great interest and looked at it, "What kind of poison is it specially used for tattoos? Are there other patterns?"

"..."

Qin Guanyue withdrew her hand without a smile on her face, "I'll get you some later, and I'll feed you myself."

"It sounds expensive, so I don't need it."

Xiao Mingyang's expression turned serious, "How did you do it?"

"The conditions for becoming the first disciple of Qin Tianjian, in case I get Qin Tianjian but don't want to be used by them."

"them?"

"Emperor Daxi, head of Qin Tianjian, elder..."

Qin Guanyue fiddled with the pool water carelessly, "There are other people from the Ning family..."

"Is there a chronic antidote?"

"Once a month."

"otherwise?"

"It's about the level of twelve-grade pain in medicine."

"Qin Guanyue."

"Ok?"

"Get the antidote and come back to Xiangwei with me."

Xiao Mingyang turned his head to look at her, and said calmly, "You can do whatever you want, live whatever you want, and no one can touch you."

"..."

Qin Guanyue's lips moved slightly, and after a long silence, she smiled, "Okay, I will think about it."

Xiao Mingyang was very dissatisfied, pinched her chin, frowned and said, "I'm the emperor, wouldn't it be nice to follow me to eat hot food and drink spicy food?"

Qin Guanyue laughed, and waved her hand away, "Aren't you in a hurry to find your Shuojin map?"

"What's the use of being anxious, I can't find it in a hurry, who will let me leave Xiangwei."

Xiao Mingyang lazily leaned against the wall of the pool, "I dare not let you reveal the plan to me, what if you are involved and you are punished?"

"The co-author deliberately moved me just now, so you are waiting for me here?"

"So you admit that you were touched by me just now?"

"..."

Qin Guanyue squinted at her, "Do you still want to know?"

Xiao Mingyang blinked his eyes, "Think."

"Ning Ying was afraid of enlisting forces, so he took the risk to hide the ledger in the tribute and transported it to Beijing in order to save the way out. This shows that there are people in Beijing that he trusts, and..."

"This person has access to tributes, so he is at least a court official."

Xiao Mingyang's expression froze slightly, and he suddenly thought of something, "So you asked Lou Binghe to come and escort you on purpose?"

Qin Guanyue smiled, but said nothing.

Separated by a wall, two men sat silently in the huge pool, one in the south and the other in the north.

"..."

Lou Binghe turned his head to look at the boy with closed eyes beside him, and asked, "Who taught you martial arts?"

"..."

"Miyakoshi? Not quite."

"..."

"You have exquisite bones, you are a natural martial arts seedling, just like me back then."

"..."

"I was in the army when I was your age..."

Xiao Sheng opened his eyes and looked at him, "What do you want to say?"

Lou Binghe looked calm, "Just chatting."

"..."

Xiao Sheng glanced at him coldly, put on his clothes and went out.

He moved so fast that the green-clothed boy coming from the opposite corridor saw a white-clothed figure.

"Is someone here today?" the green-clothed boy asked.

The servant replied, "If you go back to the Second Highness, the Crown Princess came here with Empress Xiangwei today."

"Empress Xiangwei?"

The second prince, Ning Si, became interested in an instant, "How does the empress look? Is she beautiful? I heard that she has three thousand harem, did you bring one or two?"

"...The slave doesn't know."

"Don't worry, I'm just asking, I don't want to molest the empress."

Ning Si glanced at the direction where the white-clothed figure came out just now, "I'll go soak there."

The servant was puzzled, "There are already people there."

Ning Si was overjoyed, he knew that the princess was weak and couldn't soak in the soup for a while, the one who just went out must be the princess, and the rest...

He bent the corner of his mouth, pushed the door open and rushed in, still shouting, "Why is there no one here? Then His Highness is here to soak—"

His voice stopped abruptly, and he stared stiffly at the muscular man with big arms and round waist in the soup pool.

The servant behind hurried over, "Your Highness, this is the soup pond used by the general who accompanied the escort!"

Lou Binghe looked at him lazily, "The Second Highness wants to be together?"

Ning Si: "..."
