It had been more than a quarter of an hour since he returned to the study. Qi Xiuyao stood by the window and never said a word.
"Shadow One."
"My subordinate is here."
"It's time to move on to Xiangsi Garden. It's time to give something in return."
Qi Xiuyao stared far ahead, with a sneer on his lips. The light in his eyes flickered and dimmed.
"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."
On the surface, Xiangsi Garden is a brothel, but in fact it is an intelligence collection office, controlled by Qi Xiujin.
He used this place to collect some clues about many ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government, and won over those ministers who were originally neutral or who were not in his camp.
It can be said that Xiangsi Garden is not only one of Qi Xiujin's important sources of financial income, but also an important place for him to win over and control people's hearts.
But he didn't know that the real owner behind Xiangsi Garden was the useless prince whom he despised the most.
If Qi Xiujin didn't insist on jumping out to find a sense of presence at this time, Qi Xiuyao didn't want to move this chess piece at the moment.
But since he jumped out, there was no way he would be injured and bleeding.
Night, Jinwang Mansion.
"boom--"
"What did you say? Say it again!"
After listening to his subordinate's report, Qi Xiujin stood up abruptly from the huanghuali open-carved rose chair and stared at the person kneeling on the ground with a cold expression.
"Report to the King... Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the fact that you used the Acacia Garden to collect the privacy of the major court officials was spread by unknown people, and... and the privacy thieves collected were sent to the ministers' mansions, and those adults
There was a fire in the backyard, and now it is a mess. The ministers are having a headache at this time. You..."
"enough."
The more Qi Xiujin listened to his subordinate's report, his face became more and more ugly. His face was gloomy, the corners of his eyes were scarlet, and finally he threw the tea cup in his hand towards Liangping on the ground as if to vent his anger.
Liangping didn't dare to hide, and allowed the cup to smash his forehead with blood, and then rolled to the ground.
"My subordinate is guilty, please punish me."
"You are indeed guilty. I asked you to take care of Xiangsi Garden, but you actually made such a big mistake for me. Do you think you have lived too long?"
Qi Xiujin walked up to Liangping and bent down, staring at him with cold eyes and speaking in a dangerous tone.
Then he raised his foot and kicked Liangping hard, "I order you to find the person who shot the cold arrow behind you within three days, no, within one day, otherwise you will come to see him."
"yes."
"Get out of here!"
Lianghei got up from the ground and excused himself, holding his chest.
"Trash, trash, trash, they are all trash. If you dare to plot against me like this, don't wait for me to find you out!"
As soon as this incident comes out tonight, even if those ministers will not immediately draw a clear line with him, this thorn has been buried in their hearts, and sooner or later they will be distracted from him.
The matter has become such a big deal, and the ministers who have been trying to mess with him all day have caught him by the hair. He will have a headache in the morning tomorrow.
He had always done this in a very subtle way. After all, if word spread that a prince made money from a brothel, he would inevitably be impeached.
But now it has become known to everyone, and the minister's privacy has also been spread out.
Qi Xiujin knitted his eyebrows tightly together, clenched his back molars, and made an extremely irritated sound from his mouth.
He took a deep breath, then called his maid to put him into official uniform and went to the palace late at night.
Changle Palace.
"Master, King Jin has entered the palace."
"Um."
Qi Xiuyao was lying on his side on the bed, holding a storybook in his hand and reading it with gusto. He didn't even raise his eyelids when he heard Ying Yi's report.
He only had this little ability, and he would always do misfortune in front of that person.
In the past, that person could turn a blind eye, but this time he deliberately made the matter so grand, it was destined that he would not be able to get away with it easily this time.
Ha~
Night, General Protector's Mansion.
Yu Shuyue, who was sleeping, suddenly opened her eyes. Her chest was rising and falling, and she slowly woke up with sleepy eyes.
"Is that true?" she murmured to herself.
Just as she imagined in the evening, the reason why she dreamed might really be related to His Highness the Crown Prince, because just now, she had another dream.
But this time, it was a brand new dream.
However, she could clearly see the faces of those people in the dream, so why couldn't she remember them at all when she woke up?
She couldn't help but reached out and tapped her head gently, trying to recall the specific details of the dream, but she only had a rough impression, and she couldn't get more specific.
"Miss, but I have another nightmare? How come I prayed to Buddha and it still didn't work."
After hearing the commotion, Shaoyao and Ziyuan entered the room and lit the lamp. They felt heartbroken when they saw Yu Shuyue sweating profusely.
"Nothing, help me grind it."
"It's so late, you-"
"It doesn't matter, I can't go to bed right now anyway."
Yu Shuyue wanted to write it down while she still had some impression of the dream, otherwise she wouldn't know if she would still be able to remember it tomorrow.
Shaoyao found a coat and put it on her, and the aster beside her began to grind it for her.
In a short while, Yu Shuyue wrote those two names on the paper, what the host said during the day, and her own name.
When she picked up the pen again to write, she hesitated a little. Finally, she rolled her eyes, raised a smile on her lips, and picked up the pen again.
"Miss, do you want Yuanyuan?"
Zi Wan, who was grinding on the side, saw that her lady had drawn a small and cute lion head and couldn't help but ask.
Yuan Yuan was the lion that Yu Shuyue had raised outside the Great Wall. She was going back to Beijing at that time. Yu Shuyue didn't know what it was like to go to the capital. She was afraid that Yuan Yuan, who was used to being free outside the Great Wall, wouldn't adapt, so she temporarily fostered her in the Liu family.
"Well, I do miss that little guy."
But the lion head painted by Yu Shuyue is not the little one raised by her family.
She used a few more lines to connect the lion's head, the two names in the dream and what the abbot said.
After doing this, sleepiness came over her, and Yu Shuyue let out a sleepy yawn, and finally returned to bed again.
This time, I slept until dawn and was not troubled by dreams anymore. This chapter has been completed!
