Chapter 214 The Last Chance
After Qin Xuanling left, she no longer wanted to sleep.
After washing up and having breakfast, she thought about the dragon bone and asked someone to prepare a carriage. She took her maid on the carriage and went straight to Wanxianglou.
As for how the emperor explained, she was very relieved. Qin Xuanling would definitely handle it very well.
Qin Xuanling read out the edict of the throne during the morning court.
The court officials were shocked at first, but when Qin Cang looked like he was crying, he even struggled to breathe, so he couldn't say anything like "Long Live the Emperor"... but he had another dispute over his brother and his son's inheritance of his father's business.
Unfortunately, Dashun really has no prince to be on the table now. The deposed prince is going to kill his father, and the third prince has broken his leg... When it comes to the second prince, all the civil and military officials in the court were silent, and they are all officials in the court. Naturally, they know what a great disaster it would be if a mediocre person took power!
So he had to shut up on the abdication of the throne and then think about it. Now, no one else can hold on to Dashun except the Regent. After all, the Regent is notorious, so no one dares to bully Dashun!
However, this decree was issued too hastily, so we always had to prepare time for the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, such as rushing to make the emperor's dragon robe, selecting auspicious days for ascending the throne, changing the country's name, and relocating the Supreme Emperor and the concubines of the Supreme Emperor, etc., so we are very busy.
As for the matter of recruiting a husband and choosing a son-in-law for Yun Xihe, Qin Xuanling waved his hand. State affairs were important. After the work was over, he would go to ask the princess for his opinion... So everyone was silent in a tacit understanding and put the matter aside.
I was so busy that no one wanted to do anything more!
As for those young talents who are famous in the bride recruitment conference, it will be easier to deal with. The talents selected from the six arts of gentlemen are simply useful talents delivered to the court!
Those who were willing to stay and waited, took the mission from the court; those who had other thoughts also received rewards, and left with satisfaction. For a while, there was no complaint.
Although there are many things, Qin Xuanling is still dealing with it in an orderly manner, but this whole day is trapped in the palace.
——
In the Honglu Temple.
Tuoba Kui sat on the chair and knocked on the armrest impatiently, "Why haven't you come yet?"
Akagawa immediately said, "As aged, he walks slowly."
Tuoba Kui looked bad, "This is my last chance." He was careless and thought Qin Xuanling would choose between the throne and his sister, but unexpectedly, he put the matter aside and stopped mentioning it.
But with his understanding of Qin Xuanling over the years, he knew that he would definitely have a trick... How could he wait until that time? If he didn't form an alliance, there would be no reason to stay in a favor. What's more, the longer the delay, the deeper the affection of his sister, the harder it would be to take her away.
elder sister......
"I have someone urge you to urge you." Akagawa was about to leave, but the person was already here.
It was an old man with a kind face, dressed in a palace outfit, and was Madam Gui next to the Empress Dowager.
She looked up at Tuoba Kui. The old nanny who usually gives Qin Cang a few slight face, actually knelt down immediately, his voice trembling, "...Justice..."
"Madam Gui, are you in good health?" Tuoba Kui raised his hand after asking, "Get up, you are a Dashun person, don't have to kneel down to me."
"..." Madam Gui was kneeling but did not move, "... Emperor Yongde had saved my life to my family. If it weren't for the Emperor, I would have died and had no place to bury me, so I would not have forgotten..."
Tuoba Kui smiled, "Mother's mother was just a simple task back then. It is hard for you to be with Empress Dowager Jiang for so many years, and you still remember my mother in your heart."
Madam Gui was silent.
"Madam, I know it all." Tuoba Kui's voice was gentle, "My mother had some conflicts with Empress Dowager Jiang back then, and you also know that my mother later died for a lifetime, and the pillow wind blowing by Empress Dowager Jiang in Qin Tian is indispensable..."
Madam Gui showed unbearable expression. Although she served Empress Dowager Jiang since she was a child... she was first grateful to Emperor Yongde earlier.
What does Tuoba Kui mean by saying these words now? Do you want to borrow her hand and do anything to Queen Mother Jiang?
Madam Gui coughed twice and murmured, "What happened to the Emperor's later... I also heard about it... This man has passed away..."
Tuoba Kui said, "No, the mother is not dead."
He said something incredible, but his expression was extremely serious.
Madam Gui only thought that he lost his mother at a young age and missed her too much, and did not take it to heart. She asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Tuoba Quai paused and said slowly, "Don't worry, I'm not trying to let you attack Empress Dowager Jiang. My mother carved a pair of peach wood dolls by herself back then, which was originally given to Qin Tian... but he gave the doll to Empress Dowager Jiang. It would be great if you bring the doll out and return it to me."
Madam Gui breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out that I just missed my mother too much and wanted to miss it a little...that pair of dolls...she had an impression, as if the Empress Dowager was very disliked, so she threw her under the bed and didn't let anyone clean up...
Madam Gui nodded, "Your Majesty is really a filial child, don't worry... It's just a pair of dolls, I'll take it here..."
"Well," Tuoba Kui smiled gently, "Then please ask the nanny soon. I'm afraid that it will be tomorrow, so I will go and say goodbye..."
"...Don't worry." Madam Gui's face became much more relaxed, "It will be delivered to you before dark." She has always had feelings for serving the Queen Mother for so many years. If she really wanted to deal with Queen Mother Jiang in order to repay her kindness, she would rather pay it back with her own life.
"Before darkness."
Tuoba Kui seemed extremely moved, and regardless of his superiority, he stood up and reached up and helped Madam Gui up with his phoenix eyes. "I am waiting for the good news for Madam."
After Madam Gui left, the smile on Tuoba Kui's face was still gentle, and he just sat there just to wait for darkness.

Yun Xihe waited for the dragon bone in Wanxianglou in the afternoon.
As soon as she opened the brocade box, she smelled a strong and strange fragrance, which was a breath that made people feel refreshed and energetic. The legendary dragon bone is the size of a palm, and the whole body is as bright as jade. No wonder it is a holy object, it is really eye-opening.
Yun Xihe had already learned from the letter that the merchant wanted Mrs. Shifang to consign the dragon bones, but now there is still a gap of two million taels of silver. She checked the silver in the account and calculated the shops under her. It was almost enough.
He instructed Xiaotao and Xiaotang to go to shops everywhere to pay the silver, and then send it to the silver notes, and return it to the shopkeeper under Ye Shifang.
After she returned home, she took the tools and began to deal with the keel - according to the amount recorded in the note, only half of the amount was enough.
She grind the bones into powder carefully, sieve several times, and ordered people to take a small stove, control the heat, put the medicinal materials that had been processed into the casserole, and watch them merge bit by bit.
In the gorgeous mist and clouds of the sky, the black snow pill was filled with fragrance under her hands and gradually formed. After a while, the sky gradually darkened and the sunset completely set.
Before the night came, she heard Qin Xuanling's slightly apologetic voice sound.
"Xihe, I'm busy today, I'm late."
