After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Meng Qianqian fed the falcon two pieces of dried meat.

For the sake of the jerky, the falcon forgave the dog man's harshness.

Chen Long wondered, "Minister Xing doesn't look defenseless. I'm curious, how did Prime Minister Xun pass on the message?"

Meng Qianqian stroked the falcon's wings and said, "The pond is so big that there are always fish that slip through the net, such as the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice who was bribed at the Xun family yesterday, and the yamen runner who passed the message to you, brother."

Chen Long said: "The place where I was imprisoned was different from that of Prime Minister Xun, but perhaps you are right. The Ministry of Justice is so large that there must be people who have been bribed by him."

Meng Qianqian hummed, "Let's go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and wait for us! Brother Wu, go back to the Governor's Mansion first and tell our family that they don't have to wait for us for dinner."

Wu Ge'er asked, "Miss, are you going to be gone that long?"

Meng Qianqian said: "Maybe it will be longer than this."

Prime Minister Xun had just made a deal with Chen Long. If he passed the message out at this time, he would easily be caught by them who were guarding outside.

With the Prime Minister's vigilance, he would not act so rashly.

Wu Ge'er drove the carriage back to the Governor's Mansion.

The three of them waited outside the prime minister's residence for a whole day, and at night, a group of sneaky people finally appeared.

"It's Jin Yiwei."

Meng Qianqian sat on the tree trunk and said, "They changed out of their flying fish suits. Is this a secret operation? What are they going to do?"

"Bring back Luo San."

Lu Yuan said.

He stood behind Meng Qianqian, quietly preventing her from falling.

Chen Long was on another branch, looking in different directions.

Meng Qianqian asked curiously, "Only so few people went? Did they not take Bai Qingchen and the Miaojiang guards seriously?"

Lu Yuan said meaningfully: "Maybe they have support."

Meng Qianqian paused, then quickly understood: "Alright, let's take this opportunity to test out all the strength of the Xiangfu. When Xun Qi made a bet with me, he told me that there were four Twelve Guards in the Xiangfu. If he didn't lie, then this time, the fourth Twelve Guard will definitely appear."

Chen Long said: "Si Snake can handle it."

Meng Qianqian nodded. Si Snake was both brave and resourceful. In terms of overall strength, few of the Twelve Guards could defeat him.

Lu Yuan asked jokingly, "Stupid Dragon, who has better martial arts skills between you and Si Snake?"

Chen Long drew his sword: "Are you looking for death?"

Meng Qianqian whispered: "There's movement!"

The falcon perched on the roof suddenly flapped its wings and flew high into the sky.

In less than a quarter of an hour, it brought back five carrier pigeons.

The note tied to each carrier pigeon is the same, with strange totems drawn on it, which are obviously exclusive codes.

"You really guessed it."

Meng Qianqian said to Lu Yuan.

As for why there are five, it is actually easy to understand. Carrier pigeons may encounter unpredictable dangers on the way to delivering messages. In order to ensure the delivery of the message, a group of carrier pigeons are usually released at the same time.

Meng Qianqian tied the note back.

When tying the fifth note, a pigeon was missing.

Meng Qianqian said seriously: "Spit it out."

The falcon didn't move.

Meng Qianqian drew her sword.

The falcon vomited and reluctantly spat out the pigeon.

After Meng Qianqian tied up all the notes, she released all the carrier pigeons.

The falcon gave chase.

My grandfather’s falcon is very well trained. With its escort, the pigeons will surely arrive safely.

After just one flight, the falcon would come back to lead the way for them.

"Let's go back home."

Meng Qianqian said.

Chen Long said: "You guys go back first, I have something to do."

After saying that, he used his Qinggong skills to leave.

Meng Qianqian muttered, "Strange, what's going on?"

"gone."

Lu Yuan jumped down from the tree.

Meng Qianqian followed him and landed steadily on the ground. Seeing that he was going in the wrong direction, she couldn't help but say, "You're going the wrong way."

Lu Yuan said: "Something happened."

Meng Qianqian frowned: "Why are both of them busy tonight?"

-

Prime Minister's Study Room.

Xun Qi had been busy for a whole day and night, feeling dizzy and overwhelmed. He was finally ready to take a break, but suddenly, the door was pushed open.

"Who?"

Xun Qi frowned and sat up.

Lu Yuan walked into the house leisurely, curling the corners of his lips nonchalantly: "We meet again, Seventh Brother."

Xun Qi suddenly opened the curtain, his eyes fell on Lu Yuan's handsome face covered by moonlight, his eyes darkened: "It's you? Why are you here in the prime minister's residence in the middle of the night without sleeping? Since you betrayed your adoptive father, you don't still think you are the son of the prime minister's residence, right?"

"Sir?"

Lu Yuan sighed, "Xun Qi, you really are good at flattering yourself."

Two secret guards came with knives in hand.

Xun Qi said to the two of them, "You can't beat him, retreat."

"Yes."

The two men retreated.

Xun Qi put on a robe, stood up and walked to Lu Yuan, and asked coldly: "What do you want to see me for?"

Lu Yuan curled his lips and said, "As brothers, I want to remind you that you'd better find a way to recall those Jinyiwei you sent out tonight."

Xun Qi narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you following the Prime Minister's residence?"

Lu Yuan admitted generously: "It's obvious."

Xun Qi asked cautiously, "What tricks are you trying to play?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Let me guess. It was your foster father who asked you to send someone to get Luo San back. What do you think was his purpose in doing this?"

Xun Qi turned around and said, "I don't need to talk to you about anything."

Lu Yuan sneered: "Have you ever thought that if killing Luo San could solve the problem, why didn't your adoptive father kill Luo San? Because Luo San is his own son."

Xun Qi's face changed: "What did you say?"

Lu Yuan said calmly: "If you don't believe me, you can wait for Luo San to come back and ask him in person, but I don't know if it will be too late by then."

Xun Qi asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"

Lu Yuan's smile faded, and he said seriously, "The Jinyiwei is not only going to bring back Luo San, but also to give a message to Lao Liu. One of you and Lao Liu has to stand up and take the blame."

Lu Yuan left.

Xun Qi stood alone in the night for a long time.

The news that Lu Yuan brought was too shocking.

He had thought that the relationship between Luo San and his adoptive father was not simple, but he never expected that they were actually father and son.

If that were the case, my adoptive father would never kill Luo San.

Do we really want to push him or Sixth Brother out to take the blame?

"No, my godfather wouldn't do this to me and my sixth brother! Lu Yuan is lying! He's lying!"

Xun Qi took a deep breath and suppressed the endless surging blood in his chest: "It doesn't matter even if my adoptive father wants me to take the blame. My life originally belonged to him."

Outside the courtyard, Meng Qianqian said to Lu Yuan, "Xun Qi doesn't seem to be afraid of death."

Lu Yuan said: "Everyone has weaknesses. Luo San once said that he is not afraid of death."

Meng Qianqian asked: "What is Xun Qi's weakness?"

Lu Yuan said: "Xun Liu, similarly, Xun Liu's weakness is also Xun Qi."

Meng Qianqian suddenly realized: "No wonder they are always inseparable. I didn't expect that some of the Prime Minister's adopted sons are so close to each other."

Lu Yuan said: "Next, it's time to tell Xun Yu about Luo San's life experience."

Meng Qianqian said: "What do you want to tell Xun Yu for? Use Xun Yu to eliminate Luo San? He just lost power, and now an illegitimate brother shows up, he will definitely want to kill him, but I'm afraid Xun Yu doesn't have the ability to do so."

Lu Yuan said calmly: "He doesn't have the ability, but he will be restless. If he doesn't have a good life, then I will have a good life."

Meng Qianqian nodded: "That makes sense!"

……

The young couple poked and provoked here and there, making trouble in the prime minister's residence for the whole night, and ended the fight tonight by making Xun Yu so angry that he vomited blood.

Meng Qianqian fell asleep immediately and woke up when the sun was already high in the sky.

Lu Yuan is not here.

Banxia said, "My son-in-law has gone to court."

Meng Qianqian was surprised: "He...didn't sleep?"

Banxia shook her head: "The son-in-law accompanied the young lady for a while and then left."

Meng Qianqian murmured, "I didn't sleep the night before. Even a body made of iron can't stand it. Banxia, ​​ask Wu Ge'er to go to the palace and ask your husband to come back early after court."

"Eh!"

Banxia agreed with a smile.

Meng Qianqian went to Tinglan Courtyard to accompany the old lady and Baoshu for a while. The servant reported: Someone from the Wang family has come.

It’s Steward Wang from the Censorate.

The news of Lu Yuan being captured by Prime Minister Xun caused a sensation in the capital. After returning home, Censor Wang had no intention of telling Madam Wang, fearing that she might have a miscarriage. However, this morning, Madam Lin and Madam Xing came to visit her and she accidentally let the secret slip.

If the two ladies hadn't stopped her, Mrs. Wang would have come in person.

Meng Qianqian smiled slightly: "When you go back to Madam, tell her that I am fine, so that she and Sister Rouer can rest assured. Madam, how is she?"

Steward Wang smiled and said, "I've become a little sleepy and eat more than before. I often wake up hungry in the middle of the night and always want to eat something that's not available in the mansion, especially something sour."

Meng Qianqian said, "I pickled some sour apricots and pinellia, go get them."

"Yes, ma'am."

Pinellia is gone.

Steward Wang said with a smile: "I would like to thank Madam Lu on behalf of my wife."

Meng Qianqian warned: "Just don't be greedy. Even though you are pregnant with twins, you still need to be restrained in eating. You can't let your wife eat as much as she wants. If the fetus is too big, it will be difficult to give birth."

Steward Wang said excitedly, "I was waiting for you to say this! The doctor also warned her, but Madam didn't listen. But Madam will definitely take your words to heart! Oh, and Madam's niece sent some tangerines, and Madam asked me to bring them to Madam Lu, Miss Baoshu, and the old lady to taste."

Meng Qianqian smiled and said, "Madam is thoughtful."

"Manager Wang, sour apricots!"

Banxia handed a jar of sour apricots to Manager Wang.

Steward Wang took it with both hands and said politely, "Thank you, Miss Banxia."

-

The Governor's Mansion is particularly lively today.

As soon as Manager Wang left, Madam Yan came to the door.

Meng Qianqian went to the flower hall to meet her.

"What wind brings Lady Yan here?"

Madam Yan said with a complicated expression: "Did you intercept the carrier pigeon from Qianji Pavilion?"

Meng Qianqian said: "I don't understand what Madam Yan said."

Madam Yan tightly grasped the handkerchief and said, "Do you know that you are doing something very dangerous?"

Meng Qianqian said coldly: "You are from Qianji Pavilion, right? When the merchant was retaliated against by Qianji Pavilion, were you involved?"

Madam Yan pursed her lips.

Meng Qianqian picked up the teacup and said, "You participated? Then you are my enemy. I won't believe a word you say."

Madam Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "I have no ill will towards you, and what happened back then was not my will. If you are really her, listen to my advice and don't let Qianji Pavilion find you."

Meng Qianqian stared at her with sharp eyes without blinking: "What is your relationship with Shang Jiu?"
