Chapter 143

When Qu Quan got out of the sack, the sky had already turned pale, and the noisy voices of the early risers could be vaguely heard.He supported his waist and got up with difficulty. Seeing those bearers and guards lying on the ground in disorder, he couldn't help cursing and kicking them awake one by one.Only then did I know that those people struck very hard and fast, and they had already been slashed in the neck by hand knives before they saw it.

The guards held their drowsy heads and got up cursing. Seeing that the young master had been beaten all over his body with bruises, they were so frightened that his head didn't hurt and his neck didn't ache anymore, and they hurried forward to serve him.

Although Qu Quan was full of anger when he climbed out of the sack, the cold wind blew and the anger gradually subsided. He recalled that those people's attacks were vicious and straightforward. Eat this dumb loss.

Liu, you are cruel enough!

But who am I, Qu Quan?

I am the only seedling of the Qu family, and my uncle is Eunuch An, the celebrity in front of the eldest princess!
Thinking that the beauty would be taken away first, and he would be punished with black sticks again, Qu Quan came up with a dirty idea, ordering his followers to immediately carry him to the Princess's mansion, enter through the side door, and go straight to Eunuch An's small courtyard.

……

……

"Oh? I thought it was a big deal. It turned out that Mr. Qu was beaten with a black stick."

With a sneer, Li Ci pulled out the double-strand gold hairpin from his solid hair, and carefully touched the lingering incense in the furnace.

She returned to Beijing yesterday, and before she had time to sit down to take a breath and consider how to deal with Ayu's restlessness, she was invited by the servants of the Princess's Mansion to Yanbo Pavilion to listen to Eunuch An and his nephew crying with snot and tears .

Although she knew that she was just a guard dog of the eldest princess, but Si Niangzi said the matter so lightly, Eunuch An's white powdered face was filled with grief, and he said with tears: "If you just eat flower wine in Huajie and Liuxiang, you will be killed." If someone hit a black stick, the old slave would naturally not come to beg His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess to give it to the slave, but that villain really went too far, to actually...give Quan'er's life..."

Having said this, I have choked up sobbing.

Li Ci glanced at the eldest princess, wondering what she meant.Unexpectedly, she looked like she stayed out of the matter, thinking hard with one hand the chess record and the other the chess pieces.

Looking at Qu Quan at the lower level again, his head was covered with several layers of gauze, which looked like a pig's head, Li Ci couldn't help laughing for a moment, and almost laughed out loud.

Fortunately, she still remembered that Eunuch An was there, so she quickly coughed twice to cover it up.

According to Qu Quan's description, it was probably Liu Erlang who used his sack to fight black punches in Anping.Although I don't know why my cousin would go to Pingkang to drink flower wine, but he also had a dispute with Qu Quan's Yuan Ye who wanted to earn a girl.However, it is human nature to protect one's weaknesses, even if there are all the witnesses and evidences, Li Ci will definitely make peace and keep the matter private.What's more, Erlang did a clean job without leaving any clues.

It's just that Qu Quan is Eunuch An's nephew after all, and he is the only seedling who inherits the incense of the Qu family. This time, someone took advantage of the darkness to cut off his lifeblood. If he doesn't give an explanation, Eunuch An will probably have resentment from now on.

Eunuch An has been with the eldest princess for many years, and he knows too much about what he should know and what he should not know.

Thinking of this, Li Ci had a measure in his heart, so he said with a smile: "Then according to the father-in-law, how should this matter be settled?"

Eunuch An said angrily: "Of course the officials will be sued for a strict investigation! Especially the leader who has the audacity to gather crowds to fight, he must be sentenced to exile!"

Li Ci nodded and said: "Elder-in-law's words are very true. Such a bad thing happened in an important place in the capital. We must investigate it to the end."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Qu Quan who was mourning again, and said: "Why are you so sure that this matter was done by the man surnamed Liu who snatched Duan Qing'er with you? Think about it carefully, you have offended me recently. who?"

Hearing the sound, Qu Quan raised his head and saw the beautiful woman in Chinese clothes who looked like a fairy and was noble and extraordinary. He was suddenly distracted and said: "The little one has kept himself clean these days. He listens to music at Duan Qing'er at Duan's mother's house in Pingkangli every day. Absolutely nothing went wrong."

"Then you saw him hit you?"

Li Ci spoke softly, but there was a bit of coldness in the smile, only those who knew her temperament would know what this smile represented.

It's a pity that Qu Quan didn't understand, he had always been greedy and lustful, and when he saw the beauty half of her body was numb, he said casually: "The strong people are very powerful, I was covered in a sack before I saw their appearance."

"So there is no evidence that it was done by Mr. Liu?"

Following his words, Li Ci continued calmly.

Qu Quan became anxious and shouted: "...I...I have proof! Someone can prove that it was Liu who led someone to beat me!"

Li Ci heard the words, smiled charmingly, and said, "Since there is a witness, why didn't you send it earlier?"

Seeing her charming smile, Qu Quan's eyes popped out, and Eunuch An pinched her thighs twice before recovering, and he hesitated: "That person's certificate is a lowly one, I'm afraid that she will tarnish the eldest princess's mansion, so... ...the man took it over a long time ago, but without permission, he dared not let her go to court..."

"Mr. Qu was beaten, so Eunuch An was beaten. If you can't support the slave, where is the dignity of the master?"

Li Ci spoke meaningfully, Qu Quan and Eunuch An were overjoyed when they heard the words, but the eldest princess snorted noncommittally.

So the female officer went down to lead the people, and the two noble ladies in Yanbo Pavilion waited silently, those who read the chess records looked at the chess records, and those who stirred the incense ashes stirred the incense ashes.While the Hao wrist was swaying, the dying sparks burned again, with the lingering lingering of dying, volatile crazily, exhausting the accumulation of a lifetime.

……

The silence of the half-pillar incense came to an end with the delicate voice of "Slave Shi Nuaner pays homage to His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess and His Royal Highness the Princess." Li Ci lazily put away the golden hairpin that was transferring the incense ashes, and a female history immediately took it over, and Offer nectar soaked in fragrant flowers.

Wet your fingers with jade flakes of bath beans, rub them lightly to get fine foam, and then soak your hands in the perfume. Every movement is as solemn as a ritual.She likes this kind of complexity, so the majesty of the superior is fully implemented.

Finally, after washing her hands, she casually wiped off the drops of water between her fingers with a champagne, and finally saw the woman kneeling on the ground, and said kindly, "Who are you and why are you here?"

The woman in Pingkangli had already been shocked by the etiquette. Seeing Li Ci's gentle words at this moment, she was flattered, raised her head, and said tremblingly: "My maidservant's name is Shi Nuan'er..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as she said her name, a female officer stepped across and scolded: "Bold! You are not allowed to answer directly in front of the noble!" Then she turned around and saluted Li Ci, humbly said: "Your Highness, don't agree with me!" It's uneducated."

Li Ci grinned and said, "It's okay, she hasn't learned the rules, it's normal to be ignorant."

The female officer responded obediently, but turned around and said sternly to Shi Nuan'er: "Your Highness is a large number, I don't care about your rudeness. When you reply, you must speak the truth. If there is any slander—"

Speaking of this, the female officer showed a piercing smile.

Shi Nuan'er ate two catties, nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and said: "This servant must know everything without saying nothing!"

Li Ci, who was convinced that Shi Nuaner was pinched in the palm of her hand, stood up, and with the support of the female officer, opened the bead curtain, walked down the jade steps, walked to Shi Nuaner's side, circled half a circle, and stopped suddenly, condescending Said: "Where were you when Mr. Qu was attacked yesterday?"

"Slaves...slaves are in Anping...Young Master Qu will give Mama Shi three thousand dollars to bring your servants to live in the mansion."

Li Ci nodded approvingly, and said: "...When Mr. Qu was put into a sack, can you see the face of the thug?"

Shi Nuan'er was doing the business of sending to Yingying, and her mind was the most sensitive. She already understood the meaning of Li Ci after hearing this, but it was Eunuch An and Young Master Qu...she couldn't afford to offend her!
So he hesitated again and again, and finally said: "It's dark, and those people are covering their faces, I can't see who it is."

"Bitch!"

Qu Quan scolded angrily, but Li Ci just glanced at him casually, his eyes were not angry and pretentious, Qu Quan shrank back immediately in fright.

Turning around again, he said softly to Shi Nuan'er, "Why did Mr. Naqu insist that it was Mr. Liu who beat him?"

Shi Nuan'er was stunned. She looked around and saw Mr. An's face was ashen, Mr. Qu winked, while the lady in front of her smiled with a bottomless darkness.

I……

In the end, she made a difficult decision.

He took a deep breath, raised his head, and said, "Because Mr. Qu once called Liu San to ambush Mr. Liu's carriage in Anpingli when he was drinking with his servants. So in Anpingli, he met a black stick." Yes, Mr. Qu took it for granted that Mr. Liu took revenge."

"There is such a thing, why didn't I hear my father-in-law mention it?"

Li Ci pretended to look at Eunuch An innocently, and Eunuch An was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, shaking like chaff, and said repeatedly: "Your Highness, forgive me! Your Highness forgive me!"

However, Qu Quan, who was kneeling next to Eunuch An, was used to pretending to be a tiger, and he was ignorant and ignorant of the relationship between the royal family and relatives.Seeing that my uncle is humble at this moment, he also bowed his head, but he couldn't help muttering: "He stole my limelight, so I can find someone to beat him with a black stick, can't I?"

"Little beast!"

Mr. An is so shrewd. Even if he didn't get Li's instructions, he vaguely guessed Mr. Liu's identity after this pass, and immediately slapped him on the face, saying: "The important place in the capital, how can you do anything wrong! Mr. Liu will be safe and sound." , is your blessing. To be able to take a beating and settle the matter is the merit of the ancestors of the Qu family!"

Qu Quanwu was slapped across the face, feeling extremely wronged in his heart, he said, "Uncle, what are you afraid of him?"

Eunuch An was so angry that iron could not be made into steel. While pleading guilty to Li Ci, he hinted that he would bring this scourge down and strictly discipline him.It's a pity that Li Ci sees that Qu Quan is narrow-minded, and has formed a deadly feud with Liu Erlang. It will be a disaster to stay in Beijing sooner or later, but thanks to his cleverness, he gave her a ready-made excuse instead.

Then he ordered Shi Nuan'er to go down to receive the reward, and said to Qu Quan: "It is indeed wrong for you to lead someone to hit the black stick, but it is also retribution to get hit with the black stick. At the Liu family, I will make an apology for you."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

At this moment, Eunuch An just wanted to take this troublesome ancestor down quickly, no matter what Li Ci said, all he had to do was nod.

But Li Ci was planning to completely cut off the root of the trouble for Liu Erlang, he walked around with a smile in his mind, and said: "I heard that Mr. Qu was kicked to cut off the root of his descendants?"

Qu Quanwei made things worse, and told Eunuch An that he had cut off the roots of his descendants.Now, looking at Eunuch An’s humility, knowing that the son surnamed Liu has a lot of background, he has already regretted it, and was about to deny it, but there was a soft voice: "Emperor Wen’s tomb has been repaired, and Agan is selecting eunuchs to guard the mausoleum. Qu Quan, you have a dirty mind and should have been severely punished, but now that you have cut off the root of your descendants, then go to the imperial tomb to guard the tomb for Emperor Wen."

You want me to be a eunuch!
Qu Quan collapsed, he forgot the etiquette, stood up and shouted: "I—I don't want—" But Mr. An's eyes were sharp and his hands were quick, he covered his mouth and nose, and scolded: "Shut up! Thanks!"

Then he knelt down, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness the Eldest Princess."

The eldest princess ignored him, turned around and said to Li Ci: "I heard that many things happened in Yinzhou, you have to talk to me about it."

"It's natural."

The two joined hands and left forever.

Eunuch An glared at his disappointing nephew, bent his waist and trotted along to keep up.

Qu Quan was left alone, and fell to the ground, neither crying nor laughing.

 Eunuch An, you can always leave the palace again, hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
