Master of the World [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 60 Long Live My Emperor 25

The palace has become much more lively recently.

Lin Xun was having a headache about the matter of the Gu King, people were coming and going outside, footsteps kept coming and going, he wanted to go out to see what happened.

Just as he was stepping out, Su Qin happened to be walking towards him.

"Going out?" Seeing that he was a little lost, Su Qin asked.

Lin Xun: "Why are you suddenly making noise?"

Su Qin walked into the yard, Lin Xun thought for a while, then turned around and walked back.

"Did you forget?" Su Qin sat on the stone bench, and immediately a servant brought tea. He waved his hand, and the servant bowed his head and left, raising his sleeves to pour tea: "It's about the talent show."

Lin Xun was a little startled, remembering that he originally wanted to agree to make a deal with Chen Han to ruin the draft, but unfortunately later he accidentally learned that he was not Chen Han's parent and child, and this matter followed him to escape from Wuyou Villa Let it go.

"The draft was postponed for a few days, but it has not been cancelled." Su Qin said.

Lin Xun sat down opposite him, poked the porcelain cup casually with his fingertips, and Su Qinshun poured him a cup of tea as well.

Lin Xun raised his eyebrows: "I don't know how many daughters' families are envious of this kind of treatment."

"Ask whatever you want," Su Qin sipped his tea, "There's no need to go around in circles."

Pushing the cup to the side, Lin Xun leaned forward, and the distance between the two drew closer. He raised a smile, "Father proposed to hold a talent show, and let me sabotage it, but now he wants to start," he looked down at the cup in his eyes Ripples appeared in the middle water, "Could it be that his mind is like tea, it tastes one way when it's hot, and another taste when it's cold."

A low laugh came.

Su Qin: "Your Majesty must be very curious about what you said."

Lin Xun sat back and knew that this 'rareness' was not a compliment.

"The palace is going to hold an audition, because it can't bear the Queen Mother's side. The Holy Mother passed away when he was six years old, and since then he has been raised by the Queen Mother."

Su Qin said indifferently: "The first emperor wanted to abolish the crown prince twice, and the queen mother suffered a lot when she was young. The sage ascended the throne, but the queen mother never intervened in political affairs. Therefore, His Majesty always respects and honors the Empress Dowager."

Today's emperor, not to mention the Sangong and Six Courtyards, has no more than three concubines in total, and the number of heirs is the fewest in history. No wonder the Queen Mother is anxious.

Lin Xun: "This is a good thing, why do you want to sabotage it secretly?"

"Earlier, there was news from a secret agent that there were worm masters from outside the territory disguised to sneak into the imperial capital. If our estimation is correct, there may be a few women in this draft who have already been manipulated by worm masters."

Hearing 'disguise', Lin Xun thought of something, and took out a thin transparent thing folded in half from his bosom, Su Qin casually opened it with his fingers, and a 'human face' as thin as cicada's wings emerged.

"It was caught in the lake." Lin Xun said, "At first I thought it was a scary thing, but after thinking about it for two days, I thought it might be a human skin mask that had been soaked in water."

"You said that there are no more than three people in the world who know how to change faces. One of them is your master who has passed away for many years, and the other is a woman called 'Miao Niangzi' who died of a vendetta five years ago." Xun glanced at the mask on the table: "I don't know if a human skin mask is a form of disguise?"

Su Qin nodded: "There are usually two ways to change a person's appearance. One is to insert a golden needle into the face to reshape the shape, but the needle will move with the blood, and it must be assisted by extremely cold internal force. The second method is a bit tricky. It’s the fake face you see.”

Lin Xun tilted his head and thought for a while: "Lian Haoqian was also wearing a human skin mask before." He curled his lips: "Fake corpse?"

Su Qin laughed: "Do you know why Ms. Miao was hunted down?"

Lin Xun: "The bloody disasters in the rivers and lakes are not caused by you coming and going, fighting back and forth."

Su Qin shook his head: "Although Mrs. Miao said she did many evils, it was the facial makeup that really caused her death."

"Family score," Lin Xun repeated: "The music score sung?"

Su Qin looked at him, Lin Xun turned his head away, "It's a random guess."

"Human masks are composed of 170 human skin masks. Lady Miao spent seven years making more than a hundred masks, involving princes and nobles, as well as some important figures in the sect. At that time, someone paid a high price from Lady Miao bought one of them, and pretended to be an adult to assassinate the son of the owner of the Yanhua Pavilion. The owner of the Yanhua Pavilion couldn't find any enemies, so he angered Lady Miao, mobilized all his connections, and forced Lady Miao to death."

Lin Xun pointed to the mask on the table: "You mean this is also one of the human masks."

Su Qin nodded, picked up the mask with his good-looking fingers, rubbed it, and said casually: "The workmanship is quite meticulous. After Ms. Miao's death, the human mask disappeared. It is estimated that the person who got it picked a few useful ones. The ones that were left behind were discarded in the lake, and I didn’t expect that you would find them by coincidence.”

Lian Haoqian is already dead, and it is difficult to get useful clues from the human skin mask. Lin Xun put his thoughts aside, with a playful smile on his mouth: "I am afraid that many 'femme fatales' will be selected in this draft." '."

Su Qin did not deny it.

"It's not entirely a bad thing," Lin Xun said. "It's also good for observing people who are in danger."

Su Qin sneered: "Your Majesty does not know martial arts, and his health is not good. If someone has evil intentions, no matter how good he is in observation, what else can he do other than being held hostage and shouting for help."

Lin Xun: ...

Inexplicably, he felt that what he said was particularly reasonable and possible.

"Although I am good at poison," Su Qin said solemnly, "but strictly speaking, Gu insects are not poisonous. It is impossible to find out who among them is the one controlled by the insect master simply by looking at them during the draft."

Lin Xun quickly gestured a few numbers with his hands.

Su Qin: "Thirteen thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight twenty-four dollars."

Admiration flashed across Lin Xun's eyes: "Good eyesight." He looks like a philistine businessman, but he has the good looks of a vice-noble son: "There is a saying in ancient times: take people's money and help them eliminate disasters."

Su Qin: "Do you have a way?"

Lin Xun said calmly: "Lend me some people who can quickly spread the news to the whole city, and secretly contact the bosses of the clothing store and the rouge and gouache store. I need them to help me secretly."

Thinking of Lin Xun's previous "deeds", Su Qin didn't immediately agree.

Lin found no trace of anxiety, drank tea calmly, and waited for his reply.

After a long time, a faint "good" word came, Lin Xunzheng lowered his head to drink tea, and could vaguely see his faintly bright eyes.

Su Qin's work efficiency has always been very fast. In the evening, the manpower Lin Xun needed had appeared in front of him. He asked a few words, and several people expressed their understanding before leaving.

When Lin Xun was preparing for some things, Chen Han got typhoid fever in the summer, except for the early court, he was in his bedroom.

As the draft day approached, the few concubines in the palace felt a sense of crisis at the same time.

Especially the queen, even though she was more alert and calm than ordinary women, she was still furious and smashed a lot of things in the afternoon.

Looking at the broken pieces on the ground, she closed her eyes, and her mood recovered for a moment.

She and the emperor's young husband and wife, when the first emperor was alive, the emperor who was still the crown prince was not favored at that time, they shared the troubles together.

But since when... everything has changed?

Did she connive at her mother's family wantonly meddling in government affairs, drugged the other concubines in private to cause infertility, or did she not hesitate to poison Concubine Lian before?

A court lady outside the house ran over with small steps, bowed her head and whispered something in the queen's ear.

"really?"

The palace maid kept nodding her head: "Concubine Zhuang, Concubine Ye and the others have made some noise a long time ago. I heard that they asked the master to make new clothes yesterday."

The queen hesitated.

The palace maid said: "This kind of thing is popular among the people now. I have heard that many delicate women can't find a good family at all."

The queen was a little moved: "Let Ben Gong think about it again."

……

It seems that overnight, the folks in Chen country have an aesthetic style that regards fat as beauty, and countless talented painters are vying to praise fat beauties.In the teahouse restaurant, there are also people who discuss every day: "Have you heard that the daughter of the old Zhang family married the son of Li Shilang?"

"It is said that Mr. Li fell in love with her at first sight. I have seen the daughter of the old Zhang family. She is plump. I used to laugh at her for being fat. Now..."

Even in the clothing store, the good-looking clothes are sold in plus sizes, and the small sizes are just some ordinary styles.

When everyone talks about beauty, people's mentality will gradually change.

The skin is fair, the water is clear, and if you can bear to look at it, you are blessed. Many girls are scrambling to gain weight, especially some ladies who are going to participate in the talent show. In order to make themselves more beautiful and attractive, they are working hard one by one Raised in vain and tender.

Of course, Chen Han didn't know about this sudden change in folk customs. His body was just right and he needed to rest. After morning, he would review memorials and read books in the bedroom.

When Jiang Yu came to see him, she couldn't help frowning: "You should go for a walk."

Chen Han made an 'hmm' sound, but did not act.

Jiang Yu folded her arms and leaned against the pillar: "Are you worried about the draft?"

Chen Han didn't raise his head, and continued to immerse himself in his own work: "It's a waste of money."

After being silent for a while, Jiang Yu said slowly: "You should find someone who can hurt people and know how to feel warm and cold, the queen..." Jiang Yu shook her head and didn't continue to mention the queen's matter: "You can pay attention to this draft, you don't need to be too shrewd , the family background is more ordinary, and the character is softer."

Wen Yan Chenhan put down the memorial in his hand and looked towards the window. The peach blossoms that were blooming in full bloom were a little sluggish. In a blink of an eye, another season was about to pass. He gently pulled the corner of his mouth, looking for a gentle and considerate woman who was weak and supportive. Not bad.

He is too unwell and is relatively thin. It is better for the other party to be thinner, so that he can pamper him with confidence.

There were heavy footsteps outside the door.

Chen Han, who was immersed in subtle thoughts, thought they were guards, but he didn't know that they were a few palace ladies who walked past the palace.

……

"One thousand, one thousand one hundred..."

Lin Xun was counting the silver in the room, and what Su Qin sent was scattered silver and an IOU. He pressed his eyebrows, shook his head and sighed, forgetting that Su Qin was not rich.

Looking up, he happened to see the maidservant who brought him snacks, wearing a shirt with a low neckline, with a plump figure, Lin Xun got up and walked outside the house with deep eyes.

The body inhabited by Gu insects will only continue to eat away at the flesh and blood of the person, and correspondingly, the body of the inhabited person will become thinner and thinner.

Now that it is popular to regard fat as beauty, a large part of people can be eliminated in the draft, and it is not difficult to find out among the remaining few who are manipulated by insect masters.

In the minds of all parties, a grand draft is about to kick off.
