Rebirth of the prosperous male concubine

There is a small river running across the palace on the other side of the palace. The river is not too wide, and the water is just below the knees. It is such a small river that looks nothing special, with countless red lotuses growing beside it.At this time, some young girls were picking here and wanted to go back and make sachets. When they saw Qi Guanhan coming, they also saluted one after another, being well-behaved and sensible.

Qi Guanhan explained: "These are the next generation in the palace, some are my same generation, and some are my juniors. My mother was bullied by people who betrayed her heart, and then entered my Palace of the Other Side. Our Palace of the Other Side did not prohibit It is not forbidden for women to have sex with men outside. The only one is that they will never come back after they marry, and they are not allowed to let others know where the Palace of the Other Side is. At present, there are very few girls who have married, and they have followed the agreement and never returned. However, that’s why the Paradise Palace can always be safe like this.”

Jiang Yi smiled and said: "For women, this is really a safe haven."

Qi Guanhan said: "Not necessarily, there are quite a few in the next generation who don't understand my mother's painstaking efforts, and are unwilling to stay in the Palace of the Other Side, especially men, my foster mother will let them go, and they are still not allowed to come back. The girls in the Bian'an Palace also have to check their character and behavior, if they are not good, they will not take them in no matter how miserable they are."

Jiang Yi nodded, "Bi'an Palace can have the scale it is today, so it is natural to carefully consider what kind of people you want to accept. After all, as the palace owner, you have to be responsible for all the women in the Bi'an Palace, and you can't let people destroy their homes. .”

Qi Guanhan smiled and said, "That's exactly the reason."

Each of the girls picked two or three flowers and stopped taking them. After resigning, they left together with smiles on their faces.

Qi Guanhan said: "Although there are many red lotuses, the women in the palace cherish them very much. So generally, if they pick enough, they don't take more. And when they are made into sachets, they can be fragrant for more than a year, which saves money. of."

Song Qi touched the flowers and said with a smile, "If you know how to cherish them, they will last forever. It can be seen that these girls are all good-natured."

"That's right." Qi Guanhan said, "Brother Song can pick whatever he wants, don't be too polite."

"Okay." Song Qi agreed, and went to pick them.

He didn't pick the flowers directly, but took out some papers with a faint medicinal smell from his purse.Then dig out two plants with a dagger and wrap the roots with paper.

Qi Guanhan had never seen this kind of practice before, and asked: "Brother Song, is this going to be transplanted?"

"Yes, I want to plant it in Prince Xiang's Mansion." Song Qi didn't hide it either.

Qi Guanhan said: "It is very likely that it cannot be moved."

After all, this flower can only grow in the other shore palace.

Song Qi said: "Yes, but I still want to try it. This medicinal paper can preserve the original soil and water content of the flower plant, so it shouldn't be a problem to send it to Beijing. Try planting it when the time comes."

Since Song Qi wanted to try, Qi Guanhan didn't say anything more, maybe Song Qi had his own way?

After wrapping the flowers, several people went back.Qi Guanhan also asked someone to fill a whole bottle of Red Lotus Pill, and prepared to take it to Zengjia Village tomorrow.

After dinner, several people went back to each other and arranged to rest in the yard.

Jiang Yi discovered that his elder brother actually lived in Qi Guanhan's yard.In fact, he also felt that the relationship between his brother and Qi Guanhan seemed a little too good. After all, he had only known each other not long ago. It is normal for Qi Guanhan to treat his brother as a lifesaver. It won't be so familiar with people so quickly.

But Jiang Yi is still happy that his elder brother can make a new friend.In the future, it will be beneficial and harmless for multiple people to take care of it, and it will be the famous Palace of the Other Side.

After breakfast the next day, the group went to Zengjia Village.After feeding the antidote to the villagers, the villagers woke up one by one, and knelt down to thank the prince for saving his life.

But Fengqin and Fengye didn't accept this gift, instead they pushed Qi Guanhan to the front calmly and let him accept the gift from the villagers, this is justified.

The magistrate gathered a few people who could explain the vernacular and asked them to explain the situation to Feng Ye and Feng Qin.

It turned out that before they got the poison, a group of ten people came from the village, they said they belonged to the Jingzhong caravan, they came here to buy tea, and they would stay in the village for a few days.This is a common occurrence, and several families in the village have vacated their houses to entertain them, and everything is normal.On the day of the accident, they got up early to eat as usual, and went up the mountain to cultivate soil for the tea tree after eating, but before the meal was finished, those few people broke in and fed the white worm to them without saying a word.They are all tea farmers, and they can cope with the conflicts among ordinary people, but compared with people who know martial arts, they are like human beings and they are fish.

They didn't remember what happened afterwards, and they didn't feel terrible until they woke up today.

"Do you have any clues for those fake businessmen?" Feng Ye asked.

One of the shorter men said: "My lord... my lord, the night before I left, I overheard them talking something that we didn't understand. It didn't seem like our Dasheng language. I was still thinking, the people in Beijing... People are knowledgeable and can speak other countries’ languages.”

Feng Ye nodded, not caring that he was not respectful enough.

The fire cult originated from a foreign country, so it is normal to know other languages.

Li Zheng said: "My lord, Caomin saw them walking up the mountain a few times before. I thought they were looking for wild game, but the people who fed us poison that day broke into Caomin's house and Caomin had never seen them before. Thinking about it this way, would it be wrong?" Could it be that they still have someone to meet them in the mountains?"

Although Zheng is old here, he is clear-headed.

Feng Qin asked, "Is that the mountain to the east?"

That mountain is the one that leads to the other shore palace.

"Yes." Li Zheng replied.

This is tantamount to confirming the previous guess, the fire cult should have come for the location of the other shore palace this time.

Feng Qin immediately said to the magistrate: "Organize people and search the mountains!"

"Yes!" After the magistrate responded, he hurried to call for someone.

Half an hour later, all the officers and soldiers of Shifeng went up the mountain to search, taking the sound of arrows as a letter.

The mountain road was difficult, Feng Qin didn't let Jiang Yi go, so Jiang Yi stayed in Zeng's Village with Aunt Jiu who came down the mountain together, and asked about Zeng's affairs by the way.

Aunt Jiu is a kind-hearted woman who is going door-to-door to check on the recovery situation.

Jiang Yi stayed at Lizheng's house, and Lizheng entertained him with tea.

Jiang Yi knew that this place was a clear-headed one, so he said, "This time we came here on order to pick up a tea picker from the Zeng family as a concubine."

"Ah?" Li Zheng looked surprised, "Your Highness, I don't know which one the emperor is going to pick up? None of the girls in our Zeng family have ever been born in Shifeng, so why would the emperor pick girls from our village specially?" ?”

Hearing Lizheng's words, he didn't seem to know about it, Jiang Yi said: "It's not a pick, it's because this Zeng family had a relationship with the emperor a few times many years ago."

"Oh? Caomin has never heard of it." Li Zheng looked at a loss.

Jiang Yi couldn't help but wonder, isn't it a girl from Zengjia Village?

"Then have any girls in your village disappeared for a few days and come back for no reason, or are unmarried with children?"

Lizheng thought about it for a long time, and suddenly said: "There is indeed such a person, named Zeng Yuner. This Zeng Yuner is also pitiful. Her old parents died when she was twelve years old, leaving only her and her brother. His brother It’s not a thing either. After the parents died, they took all the money in the family and ran away. A year later, they were found dead in an alley. People were beaten to death. This Zeng Yun'er was shy and honest, and didn't like to get in touch with people very much, so no one knew if she came home or not. Later, she became pregnant for some reason. We are in the countryside, and her family has no Someone else, so even if this is something that should be soaked in a pigsty, for the sake of reputation, we have kept it a secret and pretended not to know."

"Because Zeng Yun'er doesn't go out often, naturally she can't meet people from other villages, so I really kept this matter a secret. On the day she gave birth, my old wife went to deliver the baby. She gave birth to a very beautiful child, and my old wife still I like it very much. Later, when she was just confinement, Zeng Yuner may have been ill before and after. My wife wanted to adopt the child, but Zeng Yuner’s distant cousin came. So we took the child away. Looking at the girl's clothes, she didn't look like an ordinary person, so we thought that the child was still young, and we could enjoy the blessings when we went back to raise him as our own. This is the end of the matter. We didn't see that girl again. Girl come back."

Distant cousin?

Jiang Yi frowned. If this was the case, it would undoubtedly be a needle in a haystack.

On the other side, Feng Qin found a firewood that had just been extinguished in an open space, so he probably couldn't go far.So the arrows were fired, and everyone started to converge on him.

During the rendezvous, Qi Guanhan discovered their whereabouts and immediately chased after them.

After seeing the signal, Feng Qin and Feng Ye also rushed over.

There were more than a dozen people on the other side, and their strength was not weak. When they arrived, they hadn't captured any of them alive.

Feng Qin and the others quickly joined the battle.

With Song Qi around, the situation quickly reversed.In addition, this side is already within the boundaries of the other shore palace, Qi Guanhan finally has nothing to do, and can change the formation in the forest so that none of these people can escape.

During the scuffle, Qi Guanhan's purse was sliced ​​open by the opponent's sword, and the contents fell to the ground, among which lay a dragon pattern jade pendant.

Feng Qin was stunned, and so was Feng Ye.

Qi Guanhan quickly picked up the jade pendant and put it in his arms, then swung his sword at each other.

Now is not the time to be in a daze, Feng Ye and Feng Qin came back to their senses and continued to fight.

After nearly an hour, all the members of the Huo Cult were caught.Fearing that they would commit suicide, they gagged their mouths with cloth strips, tied them up, and sent them back to the government under strict escort for trial.

Back in Zengjia Village, Jiang Yi told Feng Qin and the others what Li Zheng had said.And Feng Qin told Jiang Yi about Qi Guanhan's jade pendant.

Jiang Yi was surprised, but Qi Guanhan didn't say anything, as if nothing happened.

Later, the group returned to the government.Even Qi Guanhan was brought back by them, and they didn't let him go back to the Paradise Palace.

Qi Guanhan didn't seem to be planning to hide any more, so he didn't come back with them either.

After closing the door, Feng Qin asked Qi Guanhan: "Is that jade pendant yours?"

Qi Guanhan smiled ironically, took out the jade pendant and slapped it on the table, "To be honest, if the emperor hadn't suddenly come to find some prince, you might never have known of my existence for the rest of your life."

"Your mother is..." Jiang Du didn't know what to say, Qi Guanhan's mother was indeed a poor person.

Qi Guanhan sneered and said, "My mother's name is Zeng Yun'er, but she passed away not long after I was born, so I have no memory of her. I only heard her from my stepmother. My stepmother and my mother have known each other since childhood. After she was abandoned by the emperor, she was furious. She originally wanted to take my mother to the Palace of the Other Side, but my mother was very weak at the time, and she might not be able to withstand the bumpy mountain road."

"After my mother passed away, my adoptive mother took me to the Bian'an Palace to raise me as her own. My mother kept this jade pendant for fear that I would disobey and do wrong things when I grew up. I hope I can use it Save my life. I never took it as a life-saving thing, I only regarded it as a relic of my mother, and I carried it with me. I didn’t expect it to be seen by you today.”

From Qi Guanhan's words, it can be seen that he has never been proud of being the heir of the royal family, on the contrary, he very much dislikes this matter.

"Then... What are your plans regarding the emperor looking for an illegitimate child?" Feng Ye asked.

Qi Guanhan said indifferently: "You take this jade pendant back and say that Mrs. Zeng is dead and has no heirs."
