The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 242 Human nature is inherently evil

After sending Qin He away, Qin Wan heaved a sigh of relief.

The biggest problem now is how to fool Ning Yi over there.

Qin Wan greeted Yaoxing, and it was already nightfall when they left the Qi family's mansion.

While worrying, Qin Wan shuffled towards Ning Yi's temporary hiding place.

"Liexiu, how do you think I'm going to coax Ning Yi back to Hancheng, and make him agree to my stay in Dongyi temporarily?" Qin Wan asked Xiang Liexiu.

Lie Xie has always maintained a stable emotional control, not showing his emotions or anger, but when Qin Wan asked this question, he couldn't hold back his frightened expression for a moment: "Ma'am? You haven't returned to Hancheng yet?!"

Qin Wan puffed her cheeks, ignored Lie Xian's rhetorical question, and continued to ponder how to explain to Ning Yi for a while.

But at this moment, a group of men in black suddenly poured out from the surrounding streets and surrounded Qin Wan and Lie Xian.

Qin Wan felt that she was just a non-existent vacuum cleaner walking around. No matter where she went, something would happen, it was really annoying to death!
Lie Xie drew out the dagger from his waist, protected Qin Wan, and looked at the group of people warily.

But it was obvious that these people had no murderous intent, they just blocked their way.One of them came out and said to Qin Wan: "Madam Qin, my master would like to invite you to Zoucheng."

When Qin Wan heard this, his eyes lit up. He saw that although this person appeared to be a man, he spoke softly and looked charming. He guessed that he might be an eunuch in the Dongyi Palace, so he asked, "The capital of Dongyi? Who is your master?"

"Madam Qin will know when she follows."

Qin Wan raised his eyebrows: "Then what if I don't go?"

"It might not be so easy for His Majesty Emperor Ning of Rong Kingdom to leave our Dongyi." The man said with a smile.

Qin Wan's expression darkened immediately after hearing this: "Threatening me with His Majesty Ning, have you thought about the consequences?"

The man saluted respectfully and said: "Don't worry Madam Qin, it will only benefit you and Princess Yaoxing if you go to Zoucheng."

When Qin Wan heard this, she felt that the eunuch was very powerful, so she raised Ning Yi and Yao Xing in a few words, intimidating and luring her, so that she had to obey him: "Since you threatened me with Ning Yi, And that Yaoxing lures me... It seems that I will not go with you. But have you ever thought that if I go with you, Ning Yi will not leave it alone."

The man beckoned, and a subordinate behind him took out a pen and paper and handed it to Qin Wan: "Then please write a letter to His Majesty Emperor Ning. Madam has always been able to handle the matter of leaving a letter. I don’t need to remind you how to write it, right?”

Qin Wan's expression turned cold at this time: "I didn't expect you to know me quite well..."

The man chuckled: "Mrs. Qin has a great reputation, and she can easily stir up the governments of other countries and subvert the imperial power of other countries. It is not difficult to find out about you."

Saying that, the man's subordinates handed over the pen and ink to Qin Wan, and then bent down directly, letting Qin Wan write on his back.The other person also came out and lit a small candle in his hand to illuminate Qin Wan.

"You're well prepared." Qin Wan smiled.

The man bowed his hands again and said: "It is my honor to be praised by Mrs. Qin."

Qin Wan spread the letter paper on the subordinate's back, and was about to write, but was stopped by Lie Xie: "Madam, my people are nearby, and these bastards can't stop you."

Qin Wan waved his hand and said to Lie Xie: "It's okay, after I finish writing the letter, you take it to Ning Yi and say that I voluntarily go with them. Of course, if I am really in danger, let him take 40 Bei Rong Jun came to save me, and if I die, let him crush the entire Dongyi."

……

At dawn, Qin Wan followed this man who claimed to be Ren Nandao to Zoucheng, the capital of Dongyi, in a carriage.

Contrary to Qin Wan's imagination, this ancient capital looked solemn and simple, lacking in gorgeous decorations and lively atmosphere.Pedestrians in the market wear simple clothes, even the rich, at most wear clothes with better materials, but without adding any colors and accessories.

Large tracts of ancient cypresses and Chinese firs are planted in Zoucheng, which are evergreen and upright, which makes people respect the city.

Qin Wan was a little curious as to why the expressions of the people here were so calm and peaceful.

Qin Wan thought of Yaoxing at this time, and smiled at the corner of his mouth. Yaoxing's elegant and easy-going temperament must be found in such a city.

The carriage swayed slowly, and came to a huge house.

Ren Nandao lifted the curtain and respectfully asked Qin Wan to get out of the car.

Qin Wan walked out of the carriage with her skirt in her hand, and looked up at the plaque in the house that read "Yunxia Academy".

Qin Wan was a little strange, so he asked Xiang Ren Nandao: "Why did Mr. Ren bring me to this school where scholars gather?"

Ren Nandao said: "My master is waiting for Mrs. Qin in the academy."

Qin Wan thought to herself that the academy was filled with extremely sophisticated scholars, and there was no danger, so she got out of the car with confidence and followed Ren Nandao into the gate of the academy.

Qin Wan was very curious about who the owner of Ren Nandao's entrance was. While admiring the brown pillars, beige hanging curtains, and rows of bookshelves in the academy, she followed Ren Nandao to the living room in the academy.

Even if it is too early, some scholars can already be heard reciting books, and a few people passing by may argue in court.

Qin Wan pricked up her ears to listen. The theme of their debate was about "being a human being" and "governing the country". The fierce words made her very interested.

Arriving in the living room with plain decoration, but elegant because of its simplicity, Qin Wan saw the owner of Ren Nandao's mouth—a middle-aged man in his 40s who was dressed in gray blue. A pair of small scissors was trimming a pot of asparagus bamboo in front of the window. Hearing Qin Wan's arrival, he put down the scissors, faced Qin Wan respectfully, and saluted her with fists folded.

"Lin Yujun, Yunxia School's sacrificial wine, has met Mrs. Qin."

Qin Wan returned the salute sideways: "On the way here, I have been thinking about what kind of person would invite me to Zoucheng suddenly, so I never thought that it would be you, the largest public institution of higher learning in Kyushu. My lord, I'm sorry."

Lin Yujun politely extended his hand, invited Qin Wan to sit down, and ordered the waiter to serve her fragrant tea.

"This is Dongyi white tea freshly fried in the garden. Madam, please taste it." Lin Yujun was well-mannered, gentle and kind, and he knew all manner of manners, which made Qin An feel very at ease.

Qin Wan took a sip of the tea, it was bitter at first and then sweet, with a mellow aftertaste. Although she didn't like tea, she liked this tea quite a lot.

"I don't know why Lin Jijiu invited me here?" Qin Wan put down his teacup and said with a light smile, "I like to talk straight, I don't like to beat around the bush, and I don't like to have too many greetings. Strange."

Lin Yujun smiled lightly: "Mrs. Qin's character is upright and straightforward. Princess Yaoxing is lucky to have a friend like you."

When Qin Wan heard about Yaoxing, she immediately tensed up: "Who are you from Yaoxing?"

Lin Yujun said: "I am Yaoxing's first teacher. She has been studying calligraphy and calligraphy with me for nearly eight years since she was a child. She was sent to Leidaomen to learn martial arts by His Majesty until she was 12 years old."

Qin Wan saw the hatred in Lin Yujun's eyes when he mentioned the word "Thunder Sword Gate", and also saw the regret and guilt he felt when he mentioned Yaoxing.

Qin Wan probably guessed the reason why he invited him here, she let go of her resistance, and her tone became more respectful: "Since you are the teacher of Princess Yaoxing, I should follow Yaoxing and call you teacher. "

"Don't dare not dare. Although I am a teacher, I only taught Princess Yaoxing kindness, tolerance and righteousness, but never taught her the evil of human nature and the dangers of the world... I can't escape the responsibility for hurting Her Royal Highness, so I want to ask Qin Madame came here, thinking about what I can do for Her Royal Highness, in order to make up for my mistakes."

With that said, Lin Yujun stood up and bowed to Qin Wan as a big gift.

At this moment, Qin Wan understood where Yao Xing's indifferent, tranquil and elegant temperament came from, and it was definitely related to the teachings of Lin Jijiu since he was a child.

"That's right, Lin Jijiu," Qin Wan said in a cold voice, "Perhaps you really taught Yaoxing too much benevolence, kindness, morality and etiquette in this world, but you forgot that even though she is the head of a country, Princess, you can never escape the darkness of this world. You should be good at talking about the possibility of education and bad at talking about the necessity of education. You should have both. Your education is biased, and it is the injury that should be suffered by Princess Yaoxing Take the blame."

Lin Yujun, who was over forty years old, was slightly shocked by Qin Wan's cold reprimand, and he said with shame on his face, "Madam Qin really hit the nail on the head with her words, as the rumors have heard, without mercy."

Qin Wan smiled: "I think Lin Jijiu has not only heard that I don't speak well, but also that I'm quite vicious and decisive in dealing with people and things. Are you really ready to cooperate with me? "

Lin Yujun nodded: "I can't ask for it."
