The system extends my life, and all my husbands want me to be the empress

Zhang Qing took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and began to recount what he had seen and heard in Hongyue Tower over the past few years.

"Sir, I have been lurking in Hongyue Tower for these years and have seen everything clearly.

This Hongyue Tower is indeed a place where female prostitutes run their business. Madam Qin is very good at handling things, and the girls are all extremely charming. The male customers who come and go are very generous and are all willing to spend money on the girls.

However, I secretly observed that there are ten private rooms on the second floor of Madam Qin's house, and every time a guest comes, he goes to the private rooms to negotiate.

The guests always had a great time talking to each other, and it wouldn't be long before they gained a lot.

Over time, some ministers and wealthy businessmen would secretly meet at Hongyue Tower to discuss business.

This is the biggest profit of Hongyue Tower, and the fundamental reason why Hongyue Tower is famous in Kyoto City.

However, what these elegant guests did not know was that

Madam Qin after they left.

I wrote down the names of all the guests.”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, on which were densely written some names. Ouyang Qingyu took the paper and looked at it carefully.

What immediately caught his eye was: Princess An Ning, Lin Wanwan.

Ouyang Qingyu said calmly: "Some are unaware, but some are definitely aware. It is precisely because they are aware that they unscrupulously think that the other party is on the same boat, which is why they always have such pleasant conversations."

Zhang Qing continued, "The list in your hand is something I secretly wrote down, so it is incomplete."

Ouyang Qingyu asked, "Where is the list in Madam Qin's hand?"

Zhang Qing hurriedly said, "In the first private room on the second floor, there is a painting on the right wall titled 'Looking for a Soulmate in the Mountains and Flowing Water'.

There is a secret compartment behind this painting.

In the secret compartment is the list of distinguished guests.

Last time, I found out everything and asked Qin Jun to notify you to get the list of guests. I saw you in Hongyue Tower the next day.

My Lord, I look at you.

I have been waiting for a long time, but I have not seen you come to take the list as promised.

I thought..."

Ouyang Qingyu gave him a look that urged him to continue.

Zhang Qing lowered his head: "I thought you didn't trust me."

Ouyang Qingyu's face flashed a subtle complex expression, and he said: "The situation changed at that time, and the plan had to be adjusted. Besides, who doesn't trust their own arm?"

Zhang Qing's heart flashed with joy, and he raised his head quickly. Seeing Ouyang Qingyu closing the list, he praised: "You did a good job, Zhang Qing."

Zhang Qing's face was filled with joy, and he quickly said, "Thank you for your compliment, sir! It is my honor to serve you."

Ouyang Qingyu smiled and nodded, then said: "In view of your outstanding performance, I have decided to promote you. You will be Qin Jun's deputy."

Zhang Qing was so delighted when he heard the news that he saluted again excitedly:

"Thank you for your cultivation! I will definitely work harder and live up to your expectations!"

Ouyang Qingyu waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go down first."

Zhang Qing left the study room happily.

After Zhang Qing left, Ouyang Qingyu's face instantly became gloomy, and he gently wiped Qin Jun's neck.

Qin Jun immediately understood, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, he nodded, and then quietly left the study.

Qin Jun walked lightly and quickly, and soon caught up with Zhang Qing who had not walked far.

Zhang Qing left the residence of the Vice Minister of Justice and walked on the street. He was immersed in the joy of promotion and was completely unaware of the approaching danger.

Qin Jun went around a corner behind Zhang Qing and hid in the shadows. When Zhang Qing approached, he suddenly flashed out, the dagger in his hand flashing coldly in the dim light.

Zhang Qing heard the noise and just turned around. Before he could see who was coming, Qin Jun's dagger had quickly cut his neck.

Zhang Qing's eyes widened and the smile on his face froze instantly. He tried to make a sound, covering his neck with both hands, bleeding profusely.

Qin Jun watched Zhang Qing slowly fall down expressionlessly, then quickly dragged the body to a hidden place.

He carefully wiped the blood off the dagger, and left quietly after making sure that no traces were left.

……

The bustling streets of Kyoto are bustling with people coming and going.

In the most famous jewelry shop, "Baohuaxuan," Shopkeeper Zhao was busy greeting customers.

Qingqing got down from the gorgeous sedan chair, dressed as if she came from the palace, and she walked into the store with a dignified manner.

When the shop assistants saw her attire, they fell silent for a moment. Shopkeeper Zhao hurried forward, smiling, "Miss, what do you want to buy?"

Qingqing smiled and coughed twice: "Shopkeeper, remember this, when the future Crown Princess Miss Ye Sisi comes here in the future

Just let her buy on credit and don't charge her.

One month later, our Prince's Mansion will pay a hundred times the price."

A hundred times? Shopkeeper Zhao was startled at first, then his eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly.

Qingqing remembered Lin Wanwan's instructions and said no more. She walked out of the shop with a smile and headed towards the spice shop that was filled with fragrance.

Mr. Qian, the boss of "Rui Xiang Tang", watched Qing Qing step into the shop and followed her closely with his eyes.

Qingqing looked at Boss Qian and said in a calm voice imitating the princess' tone: "Do you know the future Crown Princess Ye Sisi?"

Boss Qian said with a smile, "In our line of business, who doesn't know the noble ladies in Kyoto? She even came to our shop to buy spices a few days ago."

Qingqing said with a high attitude: "Miss Ye, you are the future Crown Princess. When I buy spices from you in the future, just keep the account and don't worry.

In a month, someone will offer the prince a hundred times the price."

"Okay, okay!" Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Qian became greedy at the price a hundred times higher, so he quickly agreed.

Qingqing stood up and left again, heading to "Jinxiu Manor" and "Zhifen Pavilion."

She conveyed the same words to Shopkeeper Sun and Shopkeeper Li. Shopkeeper Sun of Jinxiu Manor widened his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.

When Mr. Li from the Zhifen Pavilion heard what Qingqing said, he nodded and agreed repeatedly.

After Qingqing got back into the sedan chair and was carried away by four sedan bearers.

The owners of the four major shops all walked out onto the street and gathered together.

Boss Zhao frowned and asked, "Everyone, is this credible?"

Boss Qian said without hesitation: "Of course, she is the future Crown Princess. I have received reliable information that she will be married on the ninth day of next month. Shouldn't you pamper your wife as much as possible?"

Boss Sun echoed: "Why do you care so much? If the prince refuses to pay, doesn't she still have her father?"

Boss Li hesitated: "But..."

Boss Zhao still frowned: "If you don't do it, don't tell anyone. That's a hundred times more business, and someone else will take it away."

Ultimately, it’s about interests.

The owners of the four major shops nodded and decided to go to the Princess's Mansion first.

They tried hard to trick Ye Sisi into buying the money, and they kept a secret account of the amount. After a month, they were expecting the prince to pay them a hundred times the amount.

……

In the Princess's Mansion, Ye Sisi was sitting in the main room with needle and thread in her hands, but she had no intention of embroidering.

She felt uneasy. Why was Lin Wanwan still alive, while her aunt Wang Yiner was imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice?

Just now, Ye Sisi asked Zilan to eavesdrop on the conversation between Ye Zhaobo and Wang Yinyi, and heard that her father was demoted three levels from the Imperial Censor to the Minister of Agriculture after the court session today.

In other words, even she, the censor, was demoted!

Suddenly, the maid Zilan ran in again with an excited look on her face. This time she was a little out of breath because she ran too fast.

"Miss! Miss! What great news!" Zi Lan's voice was full of excitement.

Ye Sisi raised her head, with an unhappy look in her eyes, glared at her and said:

"My aunt Wang Yin'er was arrested by the Ministry of Justice, and my father was demoted to the Minister of Agriculture. How can I be so happy?"

Zi Lan took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and said, "No, no, Miss, I overheard it again.

On the ninth day of next month you will marry the prince and become his consort!"

After hearing this, Ye Sisi's needle and thread in her hand became agitated and she pricked her finger, causing a little blood to seep out.

She ignored all that and widened her eyes. A smile instantly appeared on her face, with excitement and disbelief:

"Are you serious? On the ninth day of next month?"

"That's right, Second Miss." Zi Lan nodded vigorously and said hastily, "It's absolutely true, the master and the mistress are discussing this in the front hall.

Moreover, the master said that this was the order of His Majesty, and the date was set by the Minister of Rites himself, so it can’t be false!”

Ye Sisi hurriedly stood up, excitedly pulled Zilan's arm and asked, "Zilan, what day is it today?"

Zi Lan hurriedly said, "Today is the second day of July."

"Let's go." Ye Sisi hurriedly ran to the front hall.

Wang Yinyi, who was in the front hall, saw Ye Sisi coming. Her eyes suddenly became moist. She opened her arms and said with trembling lips:

"Great...Sisi, come here quickly!"

Ye Sisi took two quick steps and threw herself into Wang Yinyi's arms: "Mother."

Wang Yinyi touched Ye Sisi's black hair and said, "That's great! We're getting married. My Sisi is finally going to become the Crown Princess!"

After a long while, she finally calmed down a little, looked at Ye Zhaobo timidly and said:

"Master, can you think of a solution for Yin'er?"

Ye Zhaobo sat on the chair with a gloomy face: "At this time, are you still thinking about your damn sister?"

Wang Yinyi burst into tears: "Master, Yin'er is my biological sister after all."

Ye Zhaobo snorted coldly and said, "You have brought this upon yourself. If you insist on rescuing her, and if you want to get Wang Yin'er out of prison and block Ye Sisi's path to becoming the Crown Princess, don't blame me for not caring about the relationship between husband and wife."

"Master, you have such a cruel heart!" Wang Yinyi covered her face with a handkerchief and cried.

Seeing the disagreement between the two of them, Ye Sisi hurriedly said, "Father, this is all Lin Wanwan's fault. We can't just let it go like this."

Ye Zhaobo snorted coldly and looked at Ye Sisi beside him: "Lin Wanwan has become smarter and knows that it is easier to get things done by relying on her status as a princess.

But so what, after Ye Sisi's wedding, she is still a royal relative.

Some things are not urgent at all.”

Wang Yinyi cried, "You are never anxious, every time..."

Ye Zhaobo's face was gloomy. "A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Lin Wanwan has been in the spotlight recently. There must be people who are more worried than you and me."
