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

Chapter 40
Qin Wan took out the exit card given by Ning Yi and waved it in front of the governor.

That Fu Yin immediately understood, trotted up to her, bowed and saluted, "My minister sees your mother."

Qin Wan said: "This man on the ground is a human trafficker, abducting and trafficking women."

Then she pointed to the girl and said, "This girl was almost sold to a song and dance club just now. Fortunately, she rose up to resist legitimate self-defense to protect her own rights from damage. She subdued the trafficker with her own hands, which is commendable."

Fu Yin looked at the man on the ground, then at the girl, and ordered to the officer behind him: "Have you heard what your mother said? What are you still doing, take this trafficker away and put him in prison."

Two officials rushed out, dragged the trafficker who was still half dead on the ground, and quickly took him away.

Qin Wan clapped her hands and gave Yuan Ying a compliment: "Good job, the speed of reporting to the official is very fast."

Yuan Ying: "Thank you, Madam, for your compliment."

Liuying was surprised and said: "Madam, so you have sent General Yuan Shao to report to the government a long time ago?!"

Qin Wan pinched her face and said with a smile, "Well, do you think I really don't care?"

At this moment, the girl plopped down on her knees in front of Qin Wan, bowed her head and kowtowed, "My lady's kindness in saving my life will never be forgotten by a commoner. A commoner is willing to swear to die to follow her, and she will do whatever she wants."

Qin Wan shook her head, put the five taels of silver ingot in her hand, and said with a smile: "You don't have to repay me, let alone be a cow to me. I didn't help you, nor did I buy you. Just a spectator who joins in the fun. With me today, if you encounter any difficulties tomorrow, you still have to face them yourself. Following me is not necessarily a good thing. You look at my fine clothes, but how do you know if I am living well? Sui Sui? As a girl, you can't wait to be saved by others, the world is like this, you have to rely on yourself whether you can live or not."

As soon as these words came out, not only the girl, but even Liu Ying and Yuan Ying froze in place in a daze.

Qin Wan looked at Fu Yin: "There is nothing else, I will leave the rest to you, my lord."

After finishing speaking, Qin Wan raised her hand to greet Liu Ying, who had become dumbfounded, called Yuan Ying, turned around and left, and went back to the palace.

The girl stood where she was, watching Qin Wan leave from afar, with more complicated emotions in her eyes.

On the way back to the palace, Liu Ying asked Qin Wan over and over again why she saved the girl like that. Qin Wan explained to her for a long time before Liu Ying finally understood.

The three got out of the carriage, and Yuan Ying took the initiative to send Qin Wan and Liu Ying back to the cold palace for the first time.

They still chose to take the small path in the Imperial Garden, Qin Wan thought that they could not meet Lin Rou again this time.

As soon as I turned around the rockery, I heard Lin Rou's voice "twirling like an oriole".

But this time is different from last time, Lin Rou is not a disciple of Baishan Sect, but Ning Yi.

When Qin Wan saw Ning Yi, thinking about the drunkenness that day, she immediately retreated.

But the speed of her retreat was obviously not as fast as Ning Yi's gaze.

"Wan'er." Ning Yi called out.

Qin Wan was stopped by Ning Yi, and immediately felt a little upset, thinking that he was walking around the garden with his dear junior sister, what did he ask her to do.

Qin Wan was complaining in her heart, and heard Ning Yi say another sentence: "Why did you leave the palace and only come back now?"

Qin Wan knew that she definitely couldn't hide, so she walked forward helplessly with her mouth curled.

Liu Ying and Yuan Ying respectfully bowed to Ning Yi behind her: "See Your Highness King Ning."

Lin Rou lost her arrogance this time, and turned to Qin Wan to bless her: "Lin Rou met my sister."

Qin Wan rolled his eyes and ignored Lin Rou.

"Did you eat?" Ning Yi asked.

Qin Wan said: "I'll go back to Lenggong to eat."

Ning Yi said: "It just so happens that I go back to Qingyun Hall for dinner with this king."

Qin Wan said firmly, "No."

Ning Yi frowned, staring at Qin Wan: "No disobedience."

Qin Wan was not afraid, and met Ning Yi's gaze without giving in: "I won't go, I'm almost exhausted after going out of the palace, and it's not that no one will accompany you to eat, so why call me."

After finishing speaking, Qin Wan pointed to Lin Rou.

Seeing this, Lin Rou immediately said: "Brother, let my sister have dinner with you, and Rou'er can just go back to the residence and eat some soup cakes."

When Qin Wan heard it, her eyes rolled to the sky.Why is Lin Rou pretending to be pitiful here, and going back to eat soup cakes, saying that she is so miserable, the tea smells like tea, really shameless.

Since Lin Rou wanted to act like this in front of her, she had to let Lin Rou act to the end no matter what.

Qin Wan raised the corner of her mouth and said, "Ah, it's great that you want to go. If you don't come together, I can go to Qingyun Hall to have dinner with His Highness King Ning."

When Lin Rou heard this, her face instantly turned green, and then her eyes turned red with grievance: "Looks like Rou'er really offended my sister last time, and made her hate Rou'er so much that she didn't even want to eat at the same table with Rou'er." .Sister, Rou'er is young and ignorant, senior brother and brother Zixian have already outraged Rou'er. Now Rou'er knows she was wrong, please forgive me."

Qin Wan sneered: "Miss Linrou, if you offend me, you offend me. If you have the ability to offend me, don't you have the ability to be hated by me? As long as you are promising and dare to confront me on the face, I respect you in my heart." You are a female man, but seeing you apologizing like this now makes me look down on you."

Lin Rou: "You...!"

Qin Wan said: "What me? Isn't it? I can tell you that you are an annoying little girl in front of you. Do you have the ability to scold me?"

Lin Rou clenched her fists, and was about to say something, but she glanced at Ning Yi beside her, and swallowed hard again.

Qin Wan smiled: "Tsk tsk, a gentle and good girl can't argue with others, she must be patient and peaceful, she can't get angry, and she can't swear with shrews in the palace. I want to maintain your perfect personality in front of His Highness Prince Ning It's not easy, don't let me force you out of your original shape."

Lin Rou was so angry that she was trembling all over, unable to say a word: "..."

Seeing that Lin Rou was so angry with her, Qin Wan felt relieved, and turned to Ning Yi and said, "Come on, please let me go to your Qingyun Palace to eat something good, I don't want to eat some soup cakes, I want eat meat."

"Okay." Ning Yi smiled helplessly, took Qin Wan's hand and walked towards Qingyun Palace, leaving Lin Rou behind without even looking back.

Liuying and Yuan Ying watched Lin Rou stomp her feet in anger, held back a smile and turned around to follow King Ning and Qin Wan, walking towards Qingyun Hall.

On the way, Qin Wan smiled and asked Ning Yi: "Aren't you angry that I hate your little junior sister so much?"

Ning Yi asked back: "Why should I be angry?"

Qin Wan said: "But I was about to make her cry. She is a good junior sister who has known you for seven years and five months. Even if you don't like her, you have to have some old feelings, right? I heard that you even cast her specially for her." A sword."

Ning Yi said: "The sword was forged by me boredly. She saw it and insisted on it, so I gave it to her."

Qin Wan: "I see."

Ning Yi said: "But if you like it, I can make a weapon just for you."

Qin Wan frowned and shook his head, "I don't know martial arts, what do I need weapons for, don't want them."

Ning Yi asked, "Then what do you want?"

Qin Wan thought for a while and said, "I gave away that pointed hairpin outside the palace today..."

Talking all the way, the two arrived at the small hall of Qingyun Palace.

At the dinner table, Qin Wan ate and told Ning Yi about the traffickers they met outside the palace.

She spoke eloquently and quite proudly. Although she didn't add any details, she told Ning Yi all the details.

At first Ning Yi only thought she was sharing interesting stories, but gradually she heard the clues, the more she listened, the calmer her face became, and finally she even put down her chopsticks.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Ning Yi's expression was wrong, Qin Wan asked.

"Come here." Ning also summoned his servant: "Immediately send someone to investigate. The details of the person who sold women in the downtown market today, including the woman who was sold, must be checked carefully by this king."

The servant hurriedly retreated after taking the order.

Qin Wan blinked and asked puzzledly: "Do you think there are problems with both the trafficker and the girl?"

Ning Yi said: "If you think about it carefully, do you realize that this whole thing is very strange?"
