Chapter 21 Does she look like a bully?
As soon as the old eunuch Lin Gonggong walked to the palace gate, he saw the imperial master Xu Xie entering the palace with a sign asking for an audience.
He hurriedly saluted respectfully: "I have met Master Xu!"
Then he said to the little eunuch next to him: "Go and fetch a soft sedan chair quickly!"
"Yes!" the little eunuch responded and went to make arrangements.
Xu Xie said hurriedly: "Eunuch Lin, there is no need to be polite, I can just walk over."
Eunuch Lin smiled and said: "The emperor respects Mr. Xu. He said that Mr. Xu must use a soft sedan when entering the palace."
Xu Xie hurriedly raised his hands in the direction of Qianqing Palace and saluted: "The Emperor's grace is so great!"
Those who could obtain permission from the emperor to use soft sedan chairs in the palace were only three or two senior and respected ministers of the court.
And Xu Xie is the only one who can enter the palace using a soft sedan and handing a sign!
"Eunuch Lin is leaving the palace to issue an edict?" Xu Xie glanced at the formation behind Eunuch Lin.
The formation to deliver the decree was quite large, and was escorted by four imperial guards.
Eunuch Lin smiled and said, "Yes."
Xu Xie had retired from office and had always been very observant. It was not easy to ask too much about the content of the imperial edict. Anyway, he would know sooner or later what the imperial edict was, and the young eunuch happened to have brought the soft sedan here, so he said: "Then Eunuch Lin, hurry up and get busy! I’m going to see the emperor right now.”
The soft sedan chair was prepared near the palace gate, and two young eunuchs quickly brought it over. Eunuch Lin personally helped Xu Xie get into the soft sedan chair, and walked half the way to show his respect.
After Xu Xie's repeated urging, he asked the two eunuchs to escort Mr. Xu to the Qianqing Palace. Then he returned to the palace gate, got on the carriage and headed to the Jin Palace.
There was a person sent by Xu Moyan to guard outside the palace gate. When the man saw the team delivering the order, he was delighted: The old man is really powerful. The emperor issued the order so quickly?
He followed quietly and found that the edict-delivery team had actually gone to Prince Jin's Mansion.
He even heard the eunuch who delivered the decree say to the people in the Jin Palace: "The imperial decree has arrived! The emperor has granted marriage to King Jingjun, please accept the decree!"
The man hurried back to Hanlin Mansion to announce the good news!

After Qin Xi said goodbye to Princess Duanyi, he left Jin Prince's Mansion directly and then came to Ruyi Tea House.
In the private room, Mr. Yunxiu, dressed in white, sat there drinking tea in an elegant manner.
Qin Xi sat opposite him, flipping through the record books one after another.
Everyone has been recorded clearly at what time and where they have been in the past three days, what they have done, who they have met, what they have bought, how much money they have spent, and even what they have eaten.
Qin Xi saw a certain record about Qin Xia's mother and daughter, and a coldness flashed in her eyes.
She knew about the rumors and had nothing to do with them!
She closed the book and picked up another one to read.
Qin Xi read through dozens of notebooks, each with more than ten pages, in a quarter of an hour.
When she read the last book, she saw the daughter-in-law who was in charge of the caravan going to a Zhoutong blacksmith shop, and she turned the pages for a moment!
Zhou Tong?
She seemed to have heard the name Zhou Tong in her previous life!
If it is the same person, then who murdered the Qin family in the previous life!
She will soon be sure!
A flash of cruelty flashed in Qin Xi's eyes.
She calmly looked at the man opposite: "Where is Zhou Tong's blacksmith shop this time? Why didn't I know that there is a Zhou Tong blacksmith shop in the city?"
Mr. Yunxiu was a little surprised. She mentioned so many shops before, but she didn't say anything. Why did Zhou Tong Iron Shop attract her attention this week?
It’s normal for a woman to go to an iron shop to buy farm tools!
Is it coincidence? Or keenness?
He put down his tea bowl: "In the west of the city, there is the Zhou family's blacksmith shop, and the owner's name is Zhou Tong. There are several blacksmith shops in the city, and there happen to be two surnamed Zhou, one is Zhou Jia, and the other is Zhou Ji, so I will use the name of the owner to distinguish them."
Young Master Yunxiu looked at Qin Xi and said with a smile: "Do you need me to send someone to help you keep an eye on Zhou Tong's blacksmith shop? My old friend's price is ten thousand taels!"
Qin Xi suddenly woke up, calmed down completely, and looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "No need! Mr. Yun just needs to keep an eye on how my people interact with him."
She believed that if he found something wrong with Zhou Tong, he would send someone to keep an eye on it without her telling him!
Because she knew that the master behind the Yunxiu organization should be a certain dragon son and phoenix grandson. She didn't know who it was specifically, but she knew it was not the prince.
After she came back from rebirth, why did she immediately spend one hundred thousand taels to find him and keep an eye on those people?
It is important to find out who is behind the scenes, but the most important thing is that she needs to use the master behind the Yunxiu organization to deal with those people, and even collect evidence to ensure that her family is innocent!
Yunxiu: "..."
Seen through!
This time he did find that there seemed to be something wrong with Zhou Tong Iron Shop, and he had sent people to keep an eye on it secretly.
I wanted to take the opportunity to make some money from her, but I didn't expect that she was so sharp!
Alas! It’s so difficult to make money in this world!
Mr. Yunxiu continued: "I also discovered that someone deliberately ruined the girl's reputation. Do you need help? Only ten thousand taels!"
Qin Xi: "..."
Does she look like someone who was taken advantage of?
"My little lady appreciates Mr. Yun's kindness, but my reputation is really worthless."
Mr. Yunxiu: "..."
If reputation is not valuable, what else is valuable?
Isn't she afraid that her reputation will be ruined and her engagement with the little prince will be ruined?
Mr. Yunxiu couldn't help but wonder: Is the price too high? It's true that the richer the person, the stingier he is!
He quickly changed his words: "Of course, ten thousand taels is the price for others, and Miss Qin's friendship price is five thousand taels!"
The corner of Qin Xi's mouth twitched, "No need! Is Mr. Yunxiu collecting information here?"
Yun Xiu raised his eyebrows, was he trying to make money from him? He gently fanned the folding fan with his right hand, "I wonder what information Miss Qin has? For example, the minister has an extramarital affair, or has an illegitimate child. Such information is only worth a tael of silver."
"
"The information about Xirong is worth ten thousand taels per piece!"
Xirong spy? Master Yunxiu paused: "Oh? What does Miss Qin know?"
He put away the folding fan and stretched out a finger: "We can only accept a hundred taels at most for information!"
Qin Xi: "Ten thousand taels! No negotiation."
The corners of Yun Xiu's mouth twitched, one piece of information was ten thousand taels!
Isn’t this intelligence that subverts Xirong?!
She dares to open her mouth even more than she does!!
"One hundred and fifty taels! It can't be higher! After all, we don't know whether the information is true or false. We still need manpower and material resources to confirm..."
"We'll work together again if we have the chance! Farewell!" Qin Xi raised his feet and left directly.
The back is clean and neat!
Mr. Yunxiu: "..."
Does she know that he really wants to know information about Xirong?
Or does she know who she is?
"One thousand taels, no more!"
Qin Xi didn't look back.
Mr. Yunxiu: "..."
Seeing that people are about to walk out of Ruyi Tower!
"Miss Qin, wait a minute! Come back and talk about it!"
Qin Xi turned around instantly and smiled: "Okay!"
Mr. Yunxiu: "......"
Great, he lost!
I always feel like I’m at a huge loss!

When Qin Xi returned to the Qin Mansion, her engagement was annulled by Prince Jing, and the news that Lin Ruyu was beaten by Qin Xi and Guo Ziying had already begun to spread with jealousy!
The Qin family went to Prince Jin's Mansion because of Qin Xi. Mr. Qin paid special attention to it and sent people to guard it outside, so he knew about it immediately.
Therefore, as soon as Qin Xi returned to the house, he was invited to Songhe Courtyard by the Gu family's maid.
In Songhe Courtyard, Mr. Gu, Mr. Qin, Mr. Li and Qin Miaoer were all there.
Gu Shi was so angry! She knew that Qin Xi failed more than failed!
Even a good engagement cannot be kept!
Forget it!
He even dared to beat Lin Ruyu in the Jin Palace, deliberately sowing discord and ruining Ruyu's reputation!
If Ruyu is also divorced by the Jin Palace, she will not be able to spare her!
