A quick encounter leads to a lifetime of misunderstandings

"Of course the sooner the better."

"Okay, then my people will all obey your command."

"So simple? Everyone says you are a royalist, but it seems that is not the case."

"Loyal to the emperor? Huh, if I didn't want to be the emperor, I would have dealt with them long ago."

"Do you have a grudge against them?"

Lu Qiyuan closed his eyes in pain. It was a past that he didn't want to think of.

Seeing his sad expression, Murong Yan reached out and hugged him, "If you don't want to say it, don't say it."

He held Murong Yan's hand and intertwined their fingers, "I want to tell you something."

"I was originally the son of a brave general. My father was ordered to station in the border town. Not long after my father and mother got married, my family moved to the border town. I was born and grew up there.

Five years ago, the enemy invaded, and the emperor sent the late prince to the border town to participate in the war. It was called training, but it was actually a conspiracy. In order to accuse the prince of collaborating with the enemy, they did not hesitate to design and lose several unimportant cities. Because the former prince Wen Tao was proficient in military strategy, his position as emperor was threatened.

My father and eldest brother did not know that this was a conspiracy. In order to defend the city, they fought hard to resist, but in the end they died under the arrows of their own compatriots. My mother was so sad that she fell ill in bed. She managed to hold on for a while for me, but in the end she became overly worried.

I was left alone to live. In order to take revenge, I kept my name anonymous and got to where I am now. I wanted to kill them directly, but I thought it was too easy for them, so I became a knife hanging over their heads, causing them some discomfort from time to time. When I first saw their fear, I could feel the thrill of revenge. But after so many years, I feel tired of it.

Since Yan'er wants it, then I will help you win the throne. "

Feeling the sad aura emanating from him, Murong Yan kissed his cheek and hugged him tightly.

"Then make them miserable."

……

The next day, after the morning court, the emperor left Murong Yan behind.

"Master National Preceptor, can you take a look at the fate of the country in the next few years?"

"Of course, but I have to go back and deduce it, so I can't give His Majesty an answer right away."

"Don't worry, the Imperial Master will deduce it slowly. The main thing is to be detailed and accurate. If there is anything needed, just ask the palace people to handle it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Are you still used to living in the palace these days?"

"Your Majesty, everything has been arranged very well, and Wei Chen is living well."

"That's good. You can move into your mansion in a day or two."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

"Well, it's okay. You can go back."

"Yes, Wei Chen is resigning."

The Emperor: "Lu Aiqing, please come out. How have you observed in the past few days? Is there anything strange about the Imperial Master? I heard that she went to the residence of the Minister of Civil Affairs yesterday."

Lu Qiyuan: "Your Majesty, everything is normal. She went to Mr. Qin's residence yesterday to discuss deduction techniques."

"Well, it's rare that Lu Aiqing is willing to investigate someone in person. Is he interested?"

"Everyone has a love for beauty. The great masters of the country are like heaven and humans, and the humble ministers are naturally unconventional, but they can only appreciate it."

The emperor smiled and said, "The more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is, not to mention the extraordinary ability of the Imperial Preceptor. Please don't fall into it, dear. Continue to keep an eye on it in the future and report any abnormalities immediately."

"Yes, I should serve your Majesty."

When he went to court today, Qin Luofan handed Murong Yan a note, asking her to meet her at the restaurant where she last had dinner in the afternoon.

Murong Yan finished her lunch, took a rest, and then left the palace dressed as a palace maid with a plain face.

After arriving at a deserted place outside the palace, he put his own face on it, and then walked towards the restaurant.

"What does Luo Fan want from me today?"

He handed Murong Yan a baggage, "I'll put on a disguise first, and then I'll take you there."

What he gave Murong Yan was a set of men's clothes. Murong Yan looked at her bulging belly and fair and delicate skin. Anyone who is not blind can tell that I am a woman.

She changed the plan, and in the end they dressed up as a rich lady and bodyguard, with Murong Yan wearing a curtain hat and Qin Luofan wearing a mask.

The two went to the largest underground trading market in the capital. The entrance was inside the gambling house. After going around and around, they finally entered the market.

There were more people in the market than in the street market outside. There were some small stalls selling strange and weird things on the outside.

The innermost is an underground building, used for auctions, with three floors in total. The first floor is for displaying the auction items, similar to a lobby; the second floor is where ordinary people auction items, and it is also a place that can be reached as soon as you enter; The first floor is where some distinguished guests take pictures. It is a single room with excellent privacy, and of course you pay a lot of money.

Now the auction has started, I don’t know how many pieces have been auctioned, but the auction is for a kind of poison.

Murong Yan approached him, "Bring me here. Are there any special items for auction today?"

Qin Luofan was stunned for a moment when he smelled the sweet fragrance on Murong Yan's body, "I heard that several excellent-looking sharks are going to be auctioned tonight."

"According to the emperor's current practice of turning a blind eye, the buying and selling of sharks is all done openly. Why are you still here?"

"It's more rampant in the local area, but in the capital, the emperor still wants to have some face, so this is the place."

"You mean this deal is done by the royal family?"

Qin Luofan nodded and shook his head, "They just participate and protect these people. Every year, one-tenth of the Ministry of Household's money comes from here."

"Damn it."

"Not only the sharks, but also all kinds of people are bought and sold here."

"What do you want to do tonight?"

"I want to buy them all and send them back."

"Buying that much for just the two of us will attract attention."

"Don't worry, madam, I have arranged for many of my own people to be here and buy them separately so they won't be discovered."

"Yes, it's very thoughtful. It seems that our plan needs to be advanced a little further."

Soon it was time to auction off the sharks, and there were eight sharks with excellent faces, both male and female, in the cage below. They huddled in the corner of the cage with sad eyes.

As soon as they appeared on the stage, the audience cheered, especially some of the wretched men, who almost dropped their bellies.

People at the venue started the auction one by one based on the serial numbers hanging on their bodies. The auction of the shark took the longest and the auction price was the highest.

In the end, Qin Luofan's people only took six photos in total, and the other male and female sharks were taken by the buyer on the third floor.

"Daodao, look at the identity of the buyer on the third floor."

"The host is actually Jun Qing."

"Jun Qing? You don't let the male sharks go? But it's easy for him."

Murong Yan patted Qin Luofan on the shoulder, "Don't blame yourself, you have done a good job, I can do something about the remaining two."

On the third floor, Jun Qing was still thinking happily about the two great-looking sharks he had photographed, thinking that he would enjoy them first and then send them to win over the courtiers, when he suddenly sneezed and felt chilly.
