Step on a branch

Chapter 76
In the private room, Zhao Qi sipped a cup of hot wine.

The brothers of the Weng family were always on call, and after some flattery, Zhao Qi felt at ease.

Good wine, good food, good brothers.

How comfortable!

If something is missing...

Missing a good song!

Zhao Qichong beckoned to Third Young Master Weng: "Ask someone to come up and sing."

Young Master Weng did it immediately.

After a while, a pretty little lady came in with her pipa in her arms. As instructed, she first played a section and then sang a few lines.

Zhao Qi squinted at her.

The little lady looks quite good-looking, especially the clothes, which make her fair and fresh, and her figure is lovely.

Sure enough, people rely on clothes.

For some reason, Zhao Qi suddenly thought of Qin Luan.

When he glanced at the long corridor, he really didn't think that the girl was Qin Luan, he just thought that it was some noble girl who had been summoned into the palace.

Unfortunately, Qin Luan went in another direction at that time.

If not, he would have to take a closer look, how can a local chicken change into clothes and make the maids in the mother and concubine's palace look good as if they were blind.

Weird!

The principal culprit muttered, another thought flashed across Zhao Qi's mind.

Coming out of Concubine Shu's palace, if she wanted to leave the palace, why would she go down the steps there?
Qin Luan was clearly avoiding him!

This cognition made Zhao Qi's mood suddenly complicated.

Should it be said that Qin Luan is sensible, or is she ashamed of herself, and she has no face to appear in front of him?
A native chicken with self-knowledge is not too annoying.

The song started again, Zhao Qi put Qin Luan behind him and listened cheerfully.

Girls are like this, they are soft and weak, and every frown and smile makes people feel pity.

Give me more rewards later.

When Zhao Qi returned to the bedroom, it was already halfway through the second watch.

Jin Shu'er got up to meet him, but the strong smell of alcohol came to her face, which made her frown involuntarily.

When Zhao Qi got closer, Jin Shu'er could smell some rouge on his body.

"His Highness said that he wanted to accompany mother and concubine to have dinner, why did it take so long?" Jin Shu'er asked.

Zhao Qi responded vaguely: "Talk with my concubine for a while."

Jin Shu'er bit her lower lip.

Zhao Qi was lying to her!
The rouge tasted very bad, how could it be that the empress would use it?
Holding back her anger, Jin Shu'er said again: "Your Highness, it was not easy to meet each other in the past, but now we have finally become husband and wife. Shouldn't you spend more time with me?"

Zhao Qi turned his head abruptly and said in astonishment: "That's my concubine mother, you even want to make trouble with me when I accompany concubine mother?"

Jin Shu'er shook her head: "You are clearly not..."

Zhao Qi directly interrupted Jin Shu'er's words: "Mother Concubine is Mother Concubine, you are you, Mother Concubine misses you very much, what are you so fussy about?"

After saying this, Zhao Qi waved his hand.

He drank a lot, and the cold wind blew on the road again, causing his head to ache all the time.

He didn't have the heart to reason with Jin Shu'er, so he just called a servant and went in to freshen up.

Jin Shu'er stood in the center of the hall, her eyes were red.

Zhao Qi not only lied to her, but also said things she didn't like to hear!
Mother concubine, mother concubine.

Every sentence is mother concubine.

It reminded her of her grandmother and mother.

younger brother, younger brother.

Every sentence is a brother.

"A younger brother is a younger brother, and you are you."

In this case, she heard those two people say it more than once.

In the eyes of her grandmother and mother, her younger brother was ahead of her.

Where is Your Highness?
His Highness ranked the concubine mother ahead of her again.

Why!

She told His Highness before, and His Highness also said that her grandmother and mother did something wrong, but now why does His Highness do something wrong?
Jin Shu'er rubbed her wet eyes.

She hates her brother.

She also hates the mother concubine.

Anyway, the concubine mother may not like her, the only thing she likes is the eldest grandson of the emperor in her stomach.

The hands rest on the belly.

Nothing is more important than the eldest grandson of the emperor.

She wants to let the emperor's eldest grandson grow up well first!

This night, the snow stopped from time to time.

It wasn't until the early morning that they really stopped.

Lin Fan was busy at the Chiyiwei yamen until noon.

Ever since that Yaodao was captured, his mouth has been very hard.

After repeated interrogations in the yamen, he refused to reveal Deng Guoshi's name.

Today I don't know why I figured it out, I admitted that I was ordered by someone, and I opened my mouth to bite Fu Guogong.

"Just as you guessed that day, Fuguo Gong was so angry that he found Pindao and asked Pindao to pick any young master from the Duke's Mansion." Yaodao spat, "How could Pindao know that it is so unlucky, pick him The one who arrived unexpectedly had a younger sister who knew the way. If not, the poor Taoist would not gnaw at this hard bone and go for someone else."

Lin Fan asked him to draw a charge and send this confession to the imperial study.

The emperor frowned.

Lin Fan said: "Just as the minister and the emperor reported that day, this person must be a spy!"

The emperor stroked his beard, thought for a long time, and said: "Why don't you hand over this person to the national teacher?"

Lin Fan's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "Isn't this inappropriate?"

"I'm not questioning your red-clothed guards' handling of affairs," the emperor said in a deep voice, "It is better to deal with cultivators. He is a spy with many secrets. If he can grasp all of them, he may be able to counter him."

Lin Fan lowered his eyes.

He stamped the "spies" on Taoist priests, originally to remind the emperor not to ignore foreign aggressions.

The emperor listened to it, but it was dealt with like this...

To be reasonable, it actually makes sense.

Industry specializing in surgery.

Let them, who have serious martial arts training, deal with Taoist priests who can use talismans, they really have nowhere to use them.

Only a Taoist like Qin Luan can restrain that Taoist priest.

However, the emperor mentioned Deng Guoshi.

The emperor trusted Deng Guoshi the most.

This move is letting the tiger go back to the mountain!
Lin Fan's thoughts turned quickly, trying to figure out some reasons for the emperor to listen.

Suddenly, there was a flash of inspiration.

It is said that if you follow the vine to find the melon, you can follow the tiger's footprints all the way to the tiger's lair when you let the tiger go back to the mountain.

When the opportunity is right, Huzi is close at hand.

"You are right," Lin Fan cupped his hands, "I will send that Taoist priest to Master Deng tomorrow."

The emperor said: "No one in Xiliang and Nanshu is honest! Once spies are sent to Beijing, there must be more than one person, and they cannot be allowed to succeed."

Lin Fan agreed.

"Sooner or later, I will take back all the lost land!" The emperor looked at Lin Fan deeply with great ambition, and sighed, "It would be great if Lin Xuan was still there. With his ability, why should I worry about losing the land? It was a pity back then, If it wasn't for his death, Xizhou City must have been taken down. As long as Xizhou is in hand, I can attack and defend, how can I let the people of Xiliang jump up and down for so many years!"

When Lin Xuan was mentioned, Lin Fan's breathing became heavy.

"Father's unfulfilled ambition," Lin Fan said, "I and all the officers and men will go through fire and water to fight for the Great Zhou."

The emperor nodded in satisfaction.

Lin Fan stepped back, looked at the gloomy sky, and pursed his lower lip heavily.

To this day, the emperor still talks about Lin Xuan from time to time, and he is never stingy with compliments when he mentions it.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Fan has doubts about his own life experience, but never doubts the cause of his father's death.

The emperor never wanted Lin Xuan's life.
