As for Concubine Ming's residence, Ming Lanruo left the room and went to have tea and dinner with Xu Xiuyi.
Scholar Yin took the book and read it for half an hour. She felt that every word in the book seemed to have changed into her appearance. She waved her fan at him and whispered with a smile -
"Little scholar... little scholar..."
The warmth of her soft palms seemed to remain on his chest, and the rubbing of his clothes felt like her hands were pressing on his chest: "Little scholar... you are so sensitive.
In the end I still couldn’t hold it back...
With a "snap", Scholar Yin threw the book in his hand aside with a "snap".
He gritted his teeth in frustration and cursed... Little vixen, you are really bad!
After a while, Scholar Yin stood up and said with a cold face: "Who is on duty?"
An agile figure rolled in from under the eaves, clasped his fists and bowed: "The ghost is staying here, what are your orders, Master?"
The hidden scholar pursed his lips: "Go to the well in the courtyard and prepare a bucket of cold water!"
Guisu was stunned for a moment, but as dead soldiers, they never questioned their master's fate and immediately accepted the order.
Not long after, Gui Su came in with a bucket of cold well water and then left.
The hidden scholar took off his clothes, stepped into the bucket, and stretched out his hand expressionlessly.
He thought that after returning to normal, he wouldn't have to do this anymore.
…
Half an hour later, there was a low knock on the door and Lao He's voice: "Master, it's me."
Scholar Yin opened the door. His originally delicate and fair face was slightly red, his lips were moist and red, and the ends of his hair and temples were also moist.
There seemed to be a layer of mist all over his body, like a beautiful young man walking out of the rain and fog in the south of the Yangtze River, but his expression was a little sad.
"coming?"
He and his father-in-law looked at their master and wondered: "Master, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." The hidden scholar said lazily, and then said: "I will often appear with this face during this period, and I may also stay here at night. If there is something important, just send the news."
He and the father-in-law were stunned: "But this is very inconvenient. The defense of Concubine Ming's residence is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. It looks loose on the outside, but in fact it is heavily guarded on the inside..."
"Don't worry about it. I will take care of it. How is the investigation going on with the Prince's Courtyard? What's going on with Shen Yuchen?" Scholar Yin calmly interrupted his father-in-law's conversation.
He Gongzheng said: "Our people lurked into the Prince's Courtyard to inquire. The woman has disappeared and no trace can be found for the time being. But based on the current evidence, it is certain that..."
He paused and then said: "That woman is Yun Ni."
There was no expression of surprise on Scholar Yin's face, he just said calmly: "Well, it's as expected."
"That woman is a hidden danger. She has too much information about the East Factory, as well as your... secrets, Lord Governor. I still don't know if she has leaked this secret to the prince!"
A ghastly killing intent flashed through the eyes of Eunuch He: "Yun Ni must die! Qin Yuchen must die too. You shouldn't have given him a chance in the first place. After he concealed all the dirty things she did for Yun Ni, you still let him
Stay alive!"
The governor gave them so much trust that he even wanted Qin Yuchen to take over as the commander of the North and South Town Fu Division.
The hidden scholar closed his eyes and tapped his fingertips on the table -
"Thirteen years ago, I just took charge of Beizhen Fusi and inspected Qilu. I was trapped in the rebel army of King Qilu. Qin Yuchen blocked the enemy's hidden heavy arrows for me. He and I supported each other before killing him.
Get out of the siege."
"Eight years ago, in order to subjugate the martial arts sects, I was trapped in Yunshan as the leader of the Demonic Cult in the Western Regions. Qin Yuchen personally led people to lure away the martial arts sects that were besieging me. As a result, he was charged with
Seriously injured."
"Five and a half years ago, King Jingnan made some changes. He went to the three provinces in the southwest, making King Jingnan completely sick. The palace of Jingnan has been quiet ever since."
The hidden scholar chuckled: "I once thought that he was a trustworthy right-hand man."
After listening to the father-in-law in silence, he said calmly: "People's hearts are fickle. Brothers who have died before can destroy each other's whole family by turning their backs. Isn't this the first time you have experienced it?"
When Emperor Ming was young, he fought for the late emperor on the battlefield, and even risked his life to protect the late emperor in front of assassins. Therefore, the late emperor never guarded against his younger brother until his death.
What's more, Qin Yuchen and I are not brothers!
The hidden scholar laughed sarcastically and self-deprecatingly: "No matter how many times you experience this kind of thing, you can never get used to it?"
My father-in-law and his father-in-law’s voice became extremely cold, and they even changed their names——
"My young master, have you softened your heart? What did Miss Xiao Guanyin teach you back then? Don't forget her teachings, don't forget the sacrifices she and so many of us made to make you what you are today!"
The hidden scholar closed his eyes again, expressionless and said——
"Sister Guanyin once said that those who want to achieve great things can even kill their close relatives. I am not soft-hearted, otherwise I would not let you investigate what Qin Yuchen has done in southern Xinjiang."
He turned sideways, raised his hand to support his forehead, looked down at his fair and slender right hand, and slowly closed it into a fist——
"Only by finding out all Qin Yuchen's connections and things he has done, can he be buried in the East Factory and all the hidden connections in Jinyiwei be uprooted and eradicated!"
His hands couldn't be cleaned no matter how hard they were washed. I don't know how many people's blood had been soaked in them... His hands were full of blood, and he was born to be a conspirator.
How can you be soft-hearted?
He is a born bad guy, because he never planned to let go of his former brother from the beginning...
Even though he clearly remembered...the other party had gone through life and death for him so many times, and even saved him.
But the first time he knew about the other party's betrayal, all he wanted to do was to eradicate the situation!
What kind of imperial tricks, huh...
The little empress is right, he is so despicable, vicious, shameless, and cruel...
Not much better than Emperor Ming and the Crown Prince.
The scholar curved the corners of his lips and laughed softly. His whole body trembled with laughter, his eyes turned scarlet, and he burst into tears.
Very good, he confirmed again that he is a real beast.
Seeing this, the father-in-law heaved a sigh of relief, suddenly lifted his robe, knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply: "Young master, I just overstepped my bounds, but... you are going to do big things, and being soft-hearted is a big taboo."
The hidden scholar wiped the tears from his laughter and turned the pen in his hand casually——
"What about the little empress? Do you think I should kill her too? After all, she is my closest relative and my biggest weakness?"
He and his father-in-law shuddered and raised his eyes instinctively. The hidden scholar was clearly not looking at him, but his father-in-law and his father-in-law felt that their breathing was stagnant and they couldn't help but tremble slightly...
"Master, slave...slave...that's not what I meant."
"Get out!" Scholar Yin threw out the pen in his hand. With a bang, the brush was deeply inserted into the ground along with the strong energy!
Seeing this, my father-in-law sighed deeply: "Yes."
He got up, left the room and closed the door.
Looking at the door, he and his father-in-law gave a tired smile: "That little lady is different. If she is gone, you will probably no longer be a human being. How could I not know this?"
Just like what the miracle doctor Tang said, that girl is the only humanity left by the master, like the anchor of the ship.
What's more, based on how Xiao Guanyin saved her master and what she did in the end, it was impossible for them to touch her daughter, otherwise she would really become a beast like Emperor Ming.
…
The hidden scholar leaned on the chair for a long time without expression, and said coldly: "Gui Su, bring me some wine."
"Yes." Guisu served the wine as he ordered.
He glanced at it lightly: "It's not enough, try more."
Gui Su even filled ten bottles and couldn't help but worry. Then he saw him open the cap of a bottle, put it on the spout of the wine bottle, and took a big gulp.
The young scholar lay lazily on the table... covering his face with a book.
"Tsk, this world is really boring..."
…
When Ming Lanruo returned to her room in the West Cross Courtyard, she smelled the smell of wine...and the strong smell of roses.
It tastes like taking a lot of strong-smelling roses and soaking them in wine!
