Marriage Under the Heavens

Qin Jiu will not forget the last hysterical words of Su Wanxiang that day in prison.

She said: "Bai Suxuan, wait, you may do all this to make a wedding dress for someone else. You, and Bai Ruoqu's wicked son, you are not going to die!"

This sentence, Qin Jiu believes. Because, knowing that she was Bai Suxuan, Bai Xiujin could not wait to strip her alive. This sentence is definitely not a curse, but a truthful statement that she hates and angers.

Qin Jiu knew exactly who the other person was referring to.

Lian Yuren!

It can be said that Bai Xiujin did all this without the help of Tianchenzong, and she couldn't do it by herself. The person behind Bai Xiujian is Lian Yuren, the murderer of the Bai family, he is the planner behind the scenes. When Bai Xiujin came into contact with him, he knew something about Tianchen Sect. So, her words are worth intriguing. She seemed very certain that Qin Jiu would lose, which meant that she knew some plans of Lian Yuren.

Of course, Qin Jiu never dared to look down upon Lian Yuren, as long as he was still alive, she would never rest assured. So, in any case, Qin Jiu will try to get rid of him, but because the world is so big, she doesn't know where he is hiding. However, even if it goes into the sky, she will definitely find him.

In recent days, both the important ministers in the DPRK and the common people have focused their attention on the war between Bei Yeguo and Dayu, and they have long ignored the remnants of Tianchen Sect. But Qin Jiu never dared to be careless. She even guessed that Bei Yeguo suddenly fought against Dayu. It might also have something to do with Tianchen Sect. Although she didn't know the truth of the matter, she was certain. , Tianchen Sect and Beiye Kingdom are definitely in collusion. This can be seen from the Tianchen Sect smuggling weapons to Beiye Country.

On this day, Qin Jiu went to the Imperial Study Room to see durian early. Durian is extremely diligent, and when he goes to court every day, he has to call his ministers to the Imperial Study Room to discuss matters. Now, he can be said to be extremely busy, in addition to dealing with national affairs and people's conditions, he is also worried about the war in the North. When she arrived, the last group of courtiers had just retreated from the Imperial Study Room.

Seeing Qin Jiu's arrival, Durian maintained a serious face all day, and finally showed a smile. Perhaps only in front of Qin Jiu, did he show what a young man should have. The court lady was ordered to serve tea, and Durian screened all the court ladies and eunuchs.

Qin Jiu smiled and said: "His Royal Highness, I heard that every day there are courtiers asking you to ascend the throne as soon as possible. I don't know which day your Highness intends to set?"

Durian sighed sadly, "Sister, don't make fun of me. Call me Lian'er. The date is already set for February after the new year." Actually, Durian did not intend to ascend the throne so soon, but every day. The Minister Yiguo could not request a letter from the emperor for a day, and finally had to set a date.

"Now, Beiye Country is aggressively attacking, and the situation in northern Xinjiang is turbulent. Lian'er should indeed ascend the throne as soon as possible in order to stabilize the people's hearts." Qin Jiu said softly. After such a long time of training, durian is no longer the ignorant boy at the beginning, and has a certain means in handling state affairs. Although she was still young, she was relieved with the assistance of veterans of the DPRK and China.

"I know." Durian glanced at Qin Jiu and saw Yan Yan smiling at the corner of her lips, but there was a hint of worry in her eyes, so she asked, "My sister here doesn't have to worry about it. But I want something about my sister. Let me talk about it. I can see what the Seventh Uncle and the Second Emperor have for her sister. My sister may have some lumps in her heart for the Second Emperor. But for the Seventh Uncle, why don’t you keep it? Live in Uncle Qi. Now Brother Erhuang has gone to the frontier, and Uncle Qi has gone to Linzhou. There is only one sister left in Beijing, and I am not at ease in my heart. If the sister is willing, I can follow Linzhou. Nothing is impossible."

This is the first time Qin Jiu has heard Durian talk about her. He has grown up and started to worry about her. Qin Jiu smiled slightly and said jokingly: "Why, are you trying to get my sister out?"

Durian waved her hand hurriedly, "No, I just want to make my sister happy."

Qin Jiu smiled, "You reminded me of what you said. Perhaps, I should go out."

Durian asked, "Where is the sister going?"

Qin Jiu pondered for a moment and said: "Linzhou, or Northern Xinjiang, or maybe other places. I have been in Lijing City for a while, so it's time to go out for a tour." Coming today, it turned out that she wanted to Durian bid farewell, now that I have this reason, it's easy to say.

Durian actually wanted to ask Qin Jiu whether he was looking for Yan Su or Yan Yu, but she didn't say it clearly, so it was hard to ask. Qin Jiu asked durian a few more words before leaving the Imperial Study Room.

After a few days, in the evening of this day, Qin Jiu handed Loquat a letter, asking him to hand it over to Durian after she had left for two days, and then she left.

However, she did not leave Lijing City, but quietly entered the palace. Today, she can enter and exit the palace at will, but she has no official position. Durian was originally intended to give her an official position, but she refused.

The palace is different from the past, extremely peaceful. Emperor Qing's concubines still lived in the former palace, but they acted in a low-key manner. They all know that the crown prince will soon ascend to the throne, and they may be named as concubines. In any case, they can only live peacefully in the harem and die, and there will be no more glory.

Lin Zhaoyuan was still in charge of the harem. She had finished discussing this day and looked up at the sunset through the window. A woman slowly walked over at this time. Lin Zhaoyuan's eyes were almost dazzled by the crimson flower bronzing palace dress, reflecting the shining sunlight.

She hurriedly got up to greet her and said with a smile: "Why is Miss Qin coming to me today? How can she not even bring a maid?"

Qin Jiu turned his head and smiled lazily, and the coral beads on her bun swayed with her turn. "I have nothing to do today. I just want to go around at will. I didn't expect to walk into the empress palace. Thinking that the empress is still in charge in this palace now, I came over and took a look. Does the empress feel tired?"

Lin Zhaoyuan hurriedly ordered the maid to make tea and welcomed Qin Jiu into the hall. She knew in her heart that the most noble woman in this world is probably the one in front of her. Although, she does not have an official position, and she does not even know her true identity. Whether she can take charge of the harem now or not is just a matter of her word.

Lin Zhaoyuan chuckled softly: "Where Ms. Qin said something to share the worries for the prince, how dare I be tired!"

Qin Jiu smiled, "The prince will remember the heart of the empress. In the future, he will become a concubine. However, I have recently heard some bad rumors about the empress."

Lin Zhaoyuan was startled slightly, and then asked: "Miss Qin, please speak."

"I heard that Niangniang and Su Wanxiang seem to have some friendship. She said that she was able to go out of the palace to the Yunshao State Post Office to set the fire smoothly that day because someone from the Niangniang responded." Qin Jiu said, looking at Lin Zhaoyuan with a smile, "Actually I don’t believe these words very much. How can the empress have friendship with Su Wanxiang. I still remember that at the palace banquet that day, the empress also told me that Su Wanxiang’s Youxi might be fake, and it is now confirmed that it is true. , Since Niang Niang revealed this to me, how can she have friendship with Su Wanxiang?"

In fact, thinking about it conversely, it was Lin Zhaoyuan's specious disclosure of Su Wanxiang that day that made Qin Jiu suspect that she might be related to Su Wanxiang. She said this now, just to startle the snake.

Lin Zhaoyuan’s eyebrows and Concubine Jing are somewhat similar. If it is not a coincidence, it is because someone who knows Qing Emperor’s thoughts about Concubine Jing, deliberately planted Lin Zhaoyuan, so that she could gain the sacredness by virtue of her appearance similar to Concubine Jing. Do whatever you want in the palace again.

Lin Zhaoyuan's blood faded when she heard the words, but when she heard Qin Jiu's words behind her, her eyebrows stretched out quickly, and she chuckled: "Miss Qin, why should I have friendship with Su Wanxiang? This is absolutely nonsense. Fortunately, Girl Qin is a person who understands. Otherwise, I can't bear the charge of helping Su Wanxiang to set the fire. Come here, make tea for Girl Qin!"

The palace lady wearing a green skirt brought the freshly poured tea over. Lin Zhaoyuan personally stretched out her hand and put the tea cup in front of Qin Jiu, smiling: "This is the tea that I personally dried. Miss Qin has a taste."

Qin Jiu didn't ignore Lin Zhaoyuan's gently flicking fingers when serving her tea. She knew in her heart that Lin Zhaoyuan really started at her. Although she said that she did not doubt her, she was still afraid. What's more, in this harem, she will not be in charge for long, taking advantage of coming to her palace alone today to resolve herself decisively. This act is rather neat.

Qin Jiu raised his eyebrows and smiled. In an instant, the phoenix eyes turned bright, and the beautiful eyes flowed, "You're welcome, my mother. I didn't want to drink tea originally, but since the tea is dried by my own hands, I have to taste it." She picked up the tea. I put it to my lips and smelled it, and smiled enchantingly, "It really is a good tea, with a fresh and rich aroma."

As she spoke, she took a sip of tea slowly while smiling.

Lin Zhaoyuan smiled and said, "Miss Qin thinks it tastes good, so she drinks more."

Qin Jiu took another sip and slowly put down the tea cup, and said, "Don't mind my mother, I didn't sleep well last night, but I was a little dizzy."

Lin Zhaoyuan heard this, a trace of triumph flashed in her beautiful eyes. Qin Jiu saw it in his eyes, and he knew it in his heart.

She didn't know what kind of medicine Lin Zhaoyuan put in the tea. She had a detoxification pill given by Chu Feng Leng on her body. Common drugs won't hurt her. But she knew that if Lin Zhaoyuan was even a jade person, she would probably not kill her, but would capture her alive. Therefore, this cup of tea is probably a special drug, just to stun her so that it can be brought to Lian Yuren.

This is also the purpose of her deliberately testing her today. She is now trying to find Lian Yuren.

Now that he knew that this cup of tea was a drug, Qin Jiu went into a coma when he thought of this.

That night, an inconspicuous carriage left the palace, exited Deyou Gate along the street, and disappeared on the avenue on the outskirts of Lijing City.
