From the moment Shitou left home, she knew that his spiritual power had been following him.

Not for surveillance, but for protection.

Although he is not a scholar without the strength to support himself, he will definitely not be able to escape when he encounters a martial arts master.

Even if there is dragon guard protection, she is not at ease.

From beginning to end, she didn't even utter a sound.

This year was really very lively. On the 30th night, an eldest princess appeared, and there was an assassination on the first day of the new year. After the second day of the new year, the nightmare of the high-ranking officials in the capital began.

It lasted until the twelfth day of the first lunar month, and then it gradually settled down.

On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Qin Yue came out of seclusion. It happened that the emperor came to visit, and Ji Mingtang and his father also came to visit.

Several people sat together and talked about what happened in the capital.

Old Man Huang's voice was a little muffled, as if he had been hit: "After I sent people to investigate this time, the principal culprit with evidence was executed, and more than 100 accomplices were exiled. They have great responsibilities, but they enjoy the benefits they bring every day. They can be exempted from the death penalty, but they cannot escape the living penalty. They are punished by me to farm the land."

Qin Yue chuckled: "Your court employment system should be changed."

"How to change?"

"The age limit for civil and military examinations is between fifteen and twenty-five. Anyone older will be ignored."

"Oh? Why?"

"A talented person can pass the test once or twice, at most three times, and he will definitely pass. A person without talent will never pass the test in his life. He is just burdening his family, scrimping on food and money, and accomplishing nothing in the end. It is better to die early." Their minds are looking for another way out.”

The emperor nodded slightly: "That makes sense, keep talking."

"If a person is an official, he will be an official for generations, and he will have a place in the court until he dies. You must know that as people get older, there are few people who are gentle, considerate and knowledgeable. One of them is their paranoia. They stand in the right place, and those young people The newcomers who are promising and full of enthusiasm have no place to use them.”

"Well, what do you mean?"

"If you retire at sixty, your family members who want to become officials must take the same scientific examinations as ordinary people. Don't expect to get something for nothing by relying on connections."

"But they have all made contributions to the court."

"Humph, the common people in the world will also know that your country has shed blood and sweat, so do you exempt them from taxes?"

The emperor was speechless. Qin Yue rolled her eyes at him: "Look at those courtiers of yours. When they took the imperial examination, they made lofty ideals. They said that they were serving the people of the world, but which one of them was not doing it for the money they talked about? For the people? I think it’s just for the money.”

Ji Mingtang curled his lips and said: "My mother-in-law is right, you have to contribute a lot!"

The emperor rolled his eyes at him, and Ji Mingtang immediately became honest.

"I will consider what you say."

"You must know that only by letting the blood of the court get rid of the old and replace it with the new can it be full of vitality. Those old things are a stumbling block that hinders the prosperity of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty."

"What you are talking about is still a bit difficult for me to handle, but I can try to take my time."

"It's up to you. There are too many idle people in your court. It is urgent to promote capable new people."

The emperor glanced at the stone and was immediately seen through by Qin Yue.

"Don't play with him. He is suitable to be a teacher. There is a mixed bag of good and bad people there. It will only make him unhappy."

Shitou also quickly expressed his position: "I am a villager in the mountains and I am not used to intrigues, so please spare me."

The emperor sighed helplessly: "Forget it, I will take care of Haotian for a little longer. When he ascends the throne, can those in your family do it?"

"No, no one from my Qin family except me is allowed to participate in court disputes. Anyone who violates this rule will be kicked out of the Qin family!"

"Hi~~Then what do they want to do?"

"A good man has his ambitions in all directions. He is not limited to the small world of the court. He does not necessarily have to be with you to be successful."

"Yes, your people are all dragons lurking in the abyss, and there will always be a time when they soar into the sky."

"However, there is one exception."

"Oh? Who is it?"

"The secret, you will know when the time comes."

"It really whets my appetite."

Several people looked outside at the same time: "The sky is cloudy again. I don't know if I will see the moon."

"If it doesn't rain, it would be nice to have lights."

Speaking of this emperor, he felt a little secretly: "I have executed too many people this year, so I'm afraid the Lantern Festival won't be very lively anymore."

"I don't know if other places are hot or busy, but my street will definitely be lively."

The emperor disagreed: "I've seen that your street usually doesn't even have a stall, but it's still lively?" "You can come on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

"As you said, I will always come with the queen."

"what ever!"

The emperor felt uncomfortable again when he mentioned the queen. Since the palace banquet, the queen would have nightmares when she went to bed. She had nothing to do during the day. He thought about bringing the queen over early and asking Qin Yue to take a look.

Sure enough, at noon on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the emperor came with his beloved wife.

This time, the queen was respectful to Qin Yue.

Qin Yue checked her pulse, looked at her face, and frowned.

"You were not frightened by the scene that day, but there was a demonic barrier in your heart that has been pestering you. That incident was just a trigger."

The queen was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.

"After my death as an emperor, there is no reason not to kill people. Those palace people did wrong things and helped the concubine do evil things. I punished them very much. It is impossible to say that there is no murder case in hand."

Qin Yue stared at her: "You have killed an innocent woman, is this true?"

The queen's expression suddenly changed, and it took her a long time to speak slowly.

"Now that you know, I won't hide it from you. That palace maid is serving me. When I sleep at night, I have a habit of putting a pair of scissors under my pillow as long as the emperor is not around me. "

Qin Yue took over: "That day, you had a nightmare, and she kindly came to your bed to see you. Unexpectedly, you inserted a pair of scissors into her chest and died immediately, right?"

The queen was shocked: "You, how do you know?"

Qin Yue stood up and walked to the window, looked outside, and said slowly: "She once saved your life and was loyal to you. You have been uneasy because of this. The blood you saw that day reminded you of Got her, right?"

"I, this palace, I,"

Qin Yue took out a book from her sleeve: "This is a scripture that can save the souls of the dead. Set up an incense burner in your room and recite it devoutly every day. After seven or seven forty-nine days, see the results!"

The queen took the scripture with trembling hands and bowed lightly to Qin Yue.

"Thank you!"

"Ji Mingtang, take the queen to Wan'er, and then accompany her to see Xiaotie and the others."

"it is good!"

After sending the queen away, Qin Yue said to the nervous emperor.

"I hope this scripture will be useful to her, otherwise, I'm afraid it won't last three years."

"What, didn't you say ten years?"

"I'm not a fortune teller. I didn't know she would be so fast. I just feel that the death energy on her body is getting heavier and heavier."

The emperor sighed: "Is there really no other way?"

"I'm not proficient in this area. Why don't you find a qualified monk and show her that the Buddha is light and the death energy is evil. She should be able to restrain it."

"Then I will invite Master Yu Nian from the Royal Temple to come to the palace and show it to the Queen."

"Well, if you want to be more open-minded, treat her if she can be cured. If she can't be cured, treat her well and let her go through this period happily. There will always be a day like this, so just be honest and deal with her."

"As if you were dead."

Qin Yue smiled: "Don't tell me, I did die. If it weren't for the harsh treatment of the Yang family, I, Qin Yue, would not be here now."

"Oh?"

"Are you reborn from death?"

"That's it."

"No wonder, if this is the case, everything can be explained easily. I sent people to investigate secretly, but I have always been puzzled about this matter. Did you awaken the memory of your previous life? Is that why?"

"That's pretty much it!"

The emperor suddenly understood. He stared at Qin Yue with sharp eyes: "Those new gadgets you have are from your previous life, right?"

"Correct!"

"You have a Qiankun bag, right?"

Qin Yue smiled: "That one is too low-level. You have watched too many stories about Xia Xia Zhuan."

"Is that what's inside the sleeve?"
