Snow Chihiro

=================

"A red sandalwood bird screen, 300 taels; a Jingdezhen blue and white glazed red long-necked bottle, 240 taels; a rosewood square chair, 80 taels..." The shopkeeper closed the booklet in his hand, with a kind smile on his face, "There are still some zeros. The bits and pieces don’t count.”

Xue Qianxun took out a stack of banknotes without changing expression, and gently retreated, "Don't make a fuss, just change it quietly."

The shopkeeper glanced at the denomination of the bank note, and said wittily, "Don't worry, girl."

It happened that Xiong Ju with a loud voice and Su Yin with sleepy eyes came from both sides. Seeing Xue Qianxun, Xiong Ju respectfully called the manager, but Su Yin asked the shopkeeper, "What was the noise outside last night?"

The shopkeeper apologized and said: "The guard at the door stumbled over the tables and chairs at night. I really feel sorry for all the guests. I must offer some fruit, wine and food to apologize to everyone."

Su Yin didn't care about the humility he said. He came down and hugged Xue Qianxun's arm affectionately. Xue Qianxun changed his posture calmly, glanced at Xiong Ju who was standing there and nodded knowingly , patted Su Yin, "Go and have some breakfast first, I'll take care of things."

She followed Xiong Ju upstairs, hesitated for a while and chose to go to the big man's room, but fortunately, there was an inn that was cleaned so that there was no smell of sweat from a brash man, Xiong Ju closed the door with his backhand, and said in a low voice: "Sir, if As you expected, there are indeed some problems with the Jingxi rudder in the capital."

Jingxi rudder is one of the four rudders under the rule of the Sun Moon God Sect. Because it is located in the capital, the supply of financial resources is quite important for news exchanges.A few days ago, Xue Qianxun saw that there seemed to be a problem with his accounts, and he couldn't stand Su Yin's stubbornness, so he brought some people to the capital secretly, but unexpectedly, he met Dongfang Li unexpectedly.Right now, she was in a very good mood, and she didn't care about Xiong Ju's cleverness, so she asked cooperatively, "What did you find out?"

Xiong Ju showed some white teeth proudly, and pulled out the chair for her with rough hands and feet, "I didn't see anything wrong at first, but I went to watch it myself last night, and saw that the co-pilot saw someone, I swear Far from hearing their conversation clearly, but after following that person, he discovered that he was actually a member of the official family."

It's not surprising to see officials and family members. Since ancient times, black and white have inevitably had some relationship. Although people in the world have always disdain to use the power of the government, they still have to have contact with the ruler. Xue Qianxun knows that his focus is not here. He poured himself a cup of tea.

Xiong Ju lowered his voice, "That man is... Jin Yiwei."

Jin Yiwei?Xue Qianxun paused her hand, raised her eyebrows, and Dongfang Li's intermittent words were still in her ears, "Drunk Qingfeng, Jin Yiwei." She was extremely sensitive to these three words, but shook her head, "Only check accounts , do not check people."

Xiong Ju glanced at her in surprise, but he still took orders honestly. He had been dealt with by this aunt several times, and he knew that this seemingly delicate woman was more ruthless than ordinary people.

The teacup in Xue Qianxun's hand turned around, and then gently put it back on the table, it was time to go over Dongfang Liang to contact the princess, that little beast that always exploded was a good medium.With a plan in mind, she got up and left, and returned to her room. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Su Yin who was nervous, "Where is she?"

"You don't like her? Why do you still care so much?"

Seeing her appearance, Su Yin knew that Dongfang Li was fine, so she felt relieved and pursed her mouth and said, "I don't want her to die." She is pure and kind by nature, but she is a bit playful, and she often plays pranks, but her hands have never been stained with blood . "Where did you hide her?"

Xue Qianxun closed the door, trapped the sandalwood in this room, and glanced over the empty bed, the room has been cleaned and tidied up, except for the replacement of the screen, there is no abnormality. "She has returned to Heimuya." The right envoy of the Sun Moon God Religion disappeared for a year and reappeared, and I don't know how many storms will be caused.

Su Yin asked in surprise, "Is she awake?"

Of course I woke up.Xue Qianxun secretly scolded her for being unreliable in peace, but she didn't show it on her face, she just nodded, "I woke up last night."

Su Yin was even more surprised. She had never heard of anyone who could resist the medicinal properties of Zui Qingfeng, and she woke up in only two days. The medicinal properties of this drowsiness have nothing to do with the strength of martial arts. Won't you go back with her?"

This question is naive, but Xue Qianxun still patiently explained, "Of course she can't show up in the capital, she is suspicious, and of course she can't go with me." She paused slightly, and her tone was full of teasing , stared at Su Yin and said with a smile: "Besides, I will stay to fulfill my promise."

Su Yin was puzzled, "What promise?"

"Of course...to help you get her." She was satisfied to see Su Yin's hands trembling slightly, and she stayed there, leaning on the bed and half lying down. She felt a little uncomfortable, so she reached out to touch it, and what she got out was a cold suet jade porcelain bottle.

Good bruise medicine.Her hands also trembled slightly, revealing a clear and shallow smile.

The next day.

The red walls and yellow tiles are resplendent and resplendent, with silver guns and armor, and are heavily guarded.The silence outside the Forbidden City, the people who come and go are extremely silent and cautious.Xuanwu Gate is the back door of the Forbidden City, and it is also an important access control for daily access to the harem.

At this time, it was just after the afternoon shift, and the soldiers stationed were full of energy and stood upright, even those who missed the door.But after all, it is the time when the sun is at its peak, and there are not many people coming and going, so there is no need to pay too much attention.There was no one in this room, but two people came over there one after the other.The one walking in front was a girl in emerald green clothes, and the one behind followed her with her head bowed. She was clearly dressed in a flying fish suit, but she was very respectful to the person in front.

It wasn't until they got closer that they saw the appearance of the two of them. The girl was handsome, but the young man was ordinary, but her brows were resolute and a little imposing.The leader guarding the side gate looked intently and smiled, "Yo, it's Miss Qing."

The girl in green shirt nodded when she heard the words, "Your Highness sent the servants out to do something." She took out a token, and the word Xi on the dark gold token was very eye-catching.The commander hurriedly said: "Girl, please come in." Since the princess who was living among the people returned to the palace a few years ago, she has become the most favored figure in the Forbidden City. The prince needs a little more.What's more, Her Royal Highness is also unusual, and she has a lot of tricks, even better than a man.

Qingji pointed to Jin Yiwei again, "This is the person the princess wants to see."

The commander showed a embarrassed look, how can others come and go at will in this harem?What's more, it's a man, but fortunately, this is a Jinyi guard, who has always been a royal guard, and it is an unwritten rule to enter after leaving a criminal record.He looked at the young man, and the young man took out his badge with satisfaction, "Yang Jia, a hundred households in Beizhen Fusi." He drew Ya on the notebook, and followed Qingji into the Forbidden City. Do not lift.

Princess Xiwu is very popular, and Emperor Hongzhi specially designated Xiwu Palace for her, which is located in the west-central part of the Forbidden City, facing the East Palace far away, highlighting its special status.Qingji was quite familiar with this road, and took Yang Jia along the way, and it took less than half an hour to arrive.

"Miss Qing is well." The little eunuch who cleaned the palace rushed to greet Qingji when he saw Qingji. This girl is His Highness's confidant maid, and she must not offend her.Fortunately, Qingji has a good temper, and the two nodded in response, "Where is Your Highness?"

The two young eunuchs looked at each other. Didn't Miss Qing accompany His Highness just now?However, they didn't dare to say too much, and replied respectfully: "His Royal Highness is taking a rest at Xiyun Pavilion."

Hearing this, Qingji turned her head and said to Yang Jia: "My lord, please go with your servants." She led the way, her figure was swaying, and she arrived under the pavilion in a short time.Looking up, there was only a lone thin person on the pavilion. She was dressed in fine clothes, leaning against the railing, beating the rhythm with her palms, humming a leisurely tune.

Qingji stopped at the foot of the pavilion, watching silently, until she turned around, then turned around and climbed up the stairs. "Your Highness, Yang Baihu has brought you here."

Dongfang Xi paused for a moment, waved her to get up, turned her head to look at Yang Jia who was standing upright under the pavilion, and looked helplessly at Qingji. "Let's talk in the palace." Qingji had just been summoned out by her, why would she bring a Jin Yiwei here out of nowhere?Thinking about it with my knees, I knew it was that girl who ran in again, but I didn't know who the person below was. Since I came here through Su Yin, there must be something wrong.

Seeing that she recognized her, Su Yin blinked playfully, and said respectfully, "Yes, Your Highness."

She greeted the young Jin Yiwei, and followed Dongfang Xi all the way past. It was obvious that although Dongfang Xi had entered the palace not long ago, she was already very powerful, and all the palace people passing by stood with their hands down.She entered the Zhaoyang Hall but didn't stop, and signaled Su Yin to close the door with her eyes, while she twisted the mechanism to reveal a half-person-high hole.She bent over to go in, although the entrance of the cave was small, but the down section was very empty, she turned to a stone room on the left and sat down, beckoning to the Jin Yiwei to tidy up.

The young man did not refuse, smiled slightly, and sat down opposite her. "I haven't seen you for a long time, but His Highness still looks the same."

This voice had the flavor of a southern woman's Yi Nong, it was very sweet and gentle, Dongfang Xi didn't expect it to be her, and looked up and down before saying: "It's Miss Xue who came in person."

Xue Qianxun smiled softly, and glanced at the stone room. The inside was clean and tidy, and the tables and chairs were smooth. It was obvious that the one in front of her often came here, and it seemed that Her Royal Highness was not so peaceful in the palace. "There is something important, otherwise, I would not dare to bother His Highness lightly."

The important matter that allowed her to enter the palace in disguise and avoid A Liang could only be related to one person, Dongfang Xi also became slightly nervous, she lowered her head slightly to cover her emotions, and tried to ask calmly: "Did you find him? "

"It should be that she appeared, but it seems not as good as expected."

"How is it bad?"

Xue Qianxun stared at her, "She was drunk by Qingfeng."

"What?" Dongfang Xi turned pale, she had heard of Zui Qingfeng's name before, how could someone like Dongfang Li endure the loss of martial arts?On the contrary, Xue Qianxun was relieved seeing her like this, and seeing that her shocked and nervous expression did not seem to be fake, she can probably conclude that this matter was not done by her.

She lied to Dongfang Xi here, Su Yin on the side couldn't hold back, couldn't bear to see Dongfang Xi's nervousness, and said, "Don't scare sister Xi, Brother A Li has recovered, and now he has returned to Heimuya."

Hearing her words, Dongfang Xi calmed down, turned his mind, frowned and said, "Tell me what's going on." She poured herself a glass of wine, and the familiar smell that wafted made Xue Qianxun slightly startled, and then He also calmly and detailedly described the events of the past two days, only concealing Dongfang Li's identity and her presumptuous part.As she spoke, she paid attention to Su Yin's expression, and saw that the little girl rested her chin and looked at the frowning and thinking person, obviously she was very affectionate.She sighed in her heart, the word love is the most difficult and bitter, yet thousands of people are going forward one after another, even though they know the abyss, they will not stop.

What's more painful is that there are people who stand behind and ignore the person who fell into the abyss for her, and want to jump down for the person in front.

Those with the surname Dongfang are always willing to produce such a person.

"You suspect Ah Liang?" the man surnamed Dongfang asked with a frown.

Xue Qianxun took out a piece of paper from her bosom. On that piece of paper was a prescription with the names of more than twenty herbs. She pushed the prescription to Dongfang Xi, "This is the prescription he brought back from Jinyiwei. Because The so-called thirteen kinds of prescriptions are Su Yin's excuses..."

Dongfang Xi turned her head to look at Su Yin, and the girl hurriedly lowered her head in a panic. She didn't make a sound, but her face turned ugly. Fortunately, Su Yin saved Dongfang Li, otherwise even if it was her, she wouldn't ...will not show mercy.

Xue Qianxun pretended not to see their small movements, and continued: "So when Mr. Liang got back the prescription, we were a little skeptical. According to Yin'er, although this Zui Qingfeng has a great reputation in the Jianghu, there is a real truth in it. There are very few people who know the secret, and even the Su family has no prescription. I think Jinyiwei may not have it even though it is strong."

"But Ah Liang came back with a prescription."

"Exactly. At that time, I showed Yin'er the prescription. She couldn't see the reason for it for a while, but she also knew that it was not very good. The medicine's properties are quite contradictory. If it is prepared according to the corresponding medicine, it will naturally be contradictory. "Xue Qianxun paused, with a bit of hostility on his face, "So I sent a book to Mr. Ping, a famous murderer doctor. He said that if you follow it to make an antidote, your meridians will be cut off. I'm afraid you will be paralyzed in this life. bed."

That would be worse than killing her.Dongfang Xi also clenched the wine glass in his hand, cracked it with a crack, the drunk flowed out along the crack, and formed a puddle on the table. "But it may not be Ah Liang." He is her senior brother, and she doesn't want to doubt him. "Perhaps Jin Yiwei had expected it."

Xue Qianxun stretched out her hand, and gently opened her clenched fingers. The broken porcelain made a light bloodstain on Dongfang Xi's delicate hand. She sighed. Although she didn't know the story of the three brothers and sisters, she just Looking at the emotional entanglement, one knows that the relationship between them is very deep, "I don't want to doubt Mr. Liang. It's just that Mr. Ping told me that if one of the 23 medicines is replaced with another medicine, and then the corresponding medicine is formulated The antidote is the medicine of great tonic. From my point of view, one of them is probably to save people, while the other is to harm people.”

"He doesn't have this ability, he only knows martial arts since he was a child."

Xue Qianxun said sincerely: "I also hope that he doesn't have this ability, so please Your Highness to find out who has the ability." This year, under the contact of Dongfang Liang, she saw part of the power of this Highness Princess , I also know that the intelligence of Taixu Palace is strong, and all the "youjian" in the world are under her control, restaurants, inns, brothels... It seems that this part of power is not all mastered after she became a princess , Xue Qianxun didn't know how this woman who was a little younger than herself did it, but this did not prevent her from giving birth to sincere admiration.

"You think highly of Bengong."

Xue Qianxun said loudly: "Among the people Qianxun knows, only His Highness has this ability." And only she will do her best for the same person as herself.

Dongfang Xi smiled lightly and didn't answer. Only she knew that eighty percent of the credit for her being today was on one person, that little boy who drowsily hugged his young self and told stories.She put down this warm memory again, thought about the things in front of her, and waved her hands, "I see, it's not suitable to stay in the palace for a long time, you two should go back first."

Xue Qianxun looked at Su Yin when she heard the words, and she saw the child wink at her pitifully, and coughed softly. It seems that she should do something to fulfill her promise after finishing her own business, "Miss Su's disguise The technique is really superb, why doesn't Your Highness let her stay by your side to help with the investigation?"

Su Yin?Dongfang Xi still doesn't know what she's thinking?She turned her head to look, and the child looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with a calm and honest look, which made her twitch his lips.

Either way.
