After the rebirth, the queen took the Meiqiang tragedy script

Chapter 38 Reunion

The vial of poison was contained in an exquisite celadon vial, so small that it was only as long as a finger.

Ye Qinghuai changed into her micro-clothes, put the vial close to her body, and then called Li Baoquan.

"Li Baoquan, go change your clothes and accompany me out of the palace." Ye Qinghuai instructed him.

Li Baoquan was taken aback: "Your Majesty is leaving the palace?"

"Yes, it's just the two of us. Hurry up and change your clothes, I'll wait for you here." Ye Qinghuai urged him.

Li Baoquan looked worried, but in the end he didn't say anything and went to change his clothes.

Not long after, he changed into a long suit and rushed back to Jingshou Palace.

Ye Qinghuai looked him up and down, nodded, and said, "Let's go. Come back before dark."

When she reached the gate of the palace, Li Baoquan hurried to catch up and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, it's not peaceful outside now, and the slaves don't have the skills. I'm afraid we can't protect Your Majesty. Let's bring two more people."

Ye Qinghuai stood her ground and said, "What you said is not without reason."

After finishing speaking, she walked towards the guard guarding the gate of Jingshou Palace, glanced at his saber, and said, "Take off your waist saber."

The guard was standing upright without looking sideways, but when he heard Ye Qinghuai's order, he was startled and quickly removed the knife beside him.

Ye Qinghuai took the knife in his hand, pulled it out to look at it, put it back into the sheath, and tied it to her waist.

"Lend me your knife."

After finishing speaking, she strode away without looking back, leaving behind the stunned imperial guards and Li Baoquan who hurried to catch up.

Grandpa Zhou was right.Some roads cannot be turned back.

From the day she was born as the fourth prince, there is no turning back.
-
Smoked willows and painted bridges, wind curtains and emerald curtains.Spring in Shengjing is always pleasant.

Ye Qinghuai and Li Baoquan asked for a private room next to the window in Baiweijuli next to the literary school, and the gate of the literary school could be seen through the window.

There are two Gyeonggi Guards standing at the gate of the Wen School, and Gyeonggi Guards are also patrolling the campus. Every student who enters and exits must show a badge to Gyeonggi Guards, and Gyeonggi Guards will produce a list for verification.

It does seem to be in order, and there is nothing wrong with it.But Ye Qinghuai discovered the problem at a glance.

"There are too few people in the literature school." Ye Qinghuai frowned.

Just when the servant came to serve tea, Ye Qinghuai raised her head and asked, "Brother, why are there so few people in the literature school?"

The boy looked at her vigilantly, but didn't speak.

Ye Qinghuai took out two pieces of broken silver from his pocket and put them on the table, smiled gently at him and said, "We are businessmen from Yizhou who came to Beijing to do pen and ink business, and students are my source of income. Don’t hesitate to teach me and give pointers.”

Only then did the boy feel relieved, and said: "Sir, it's not a good time to come to Beijing at this time, the capital has not been very peaceful recently."

While talking, the boy stuffed the broken silver into his waist.

"Oh? Why is it not peaceful?" Ye Qinghuai asked curiously.

"Wasn't Chunwei some time ago? After the list was released, several students from the literary school jointly signed a letter, questioning Chunwei's insider fraud, and now everyone has been arrested."

"Won't the imperial court investigate?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

"Check, I'm checking."

"Then what are you doing arresting students?"

"It is said to be an investigation from the sidelines. But some time ago, there was an explicit order not to discuss this matter. There are Gyeonggi guards everywhere in the literary school, and more than a dozen people are arrested every day. I heard that most of the classes have stopped. Some of their hometowns are in other places. All the students left Beijing and went home.”

While wiping the splashed tea, the servant said again: "I advise you, sir, if you want to do pen and ink business, let's get through the limelight. Now that there are few students, it's not easy to do business. Don't talk about it. If you accost me If someone who doesn't know the details is accused by someone with a heart and sent to prison, it's not worth it."

As he said that, he finished cleaning neatly with his hands and feet.

"Guest officer, take your time, and call the younger one if you have something to do." The servant smiled and left the wing.

Seeing the door close, Ye Qinghuai restrained the polite smile on her face, and looked at Li Baoquan sternly.

"It seems that this place is a place of right and wrong. Li Baoquan, go to the various academies in Beijing to see if this is the case. After the investigation, wait for me under the archway of Xiuzhengfang."

Li Baoquan replied: "I understand."
-
Xiuzhengfang, Wenxintang.

This street is far less lively than when Ye Qinghuai came last time.

Because Xiuzhengfang is the most fragrant place in Shengjing.Half of the academies and schools in Shengjing are set up in Xiuzhengfang, and the corresponding bookstores and ink studios are also lined up along the street.

Ye Qinghuai looked at the plaque inscribed by Wang Lisong on the top of Wenxin Hall with awe.

For some reason, every time she saw the plaque, she subconsciously held her breath and straightened her back.

The gate of Wenxintang was closed tightly, and the lantern hanging in front of the gate the last time I came was also gone, looking a bit bleak.

Not only Wenxintang, but the whole street is a bit bleak.

It seems that the matter of Chun Wei and the literary school has a great impact on the entire Shengjing school, even affecting the related shops.

Ye Qinghuai walked around outside the Wenxin Hall twice. The walls of the Wenxin Hall were so high and thick that she couldn't hear any noise from the outside, and she didn't know if there was anyone in the study hall.

When Ye Qinghuai was hesitating whether to knock on the door, a voice behind her stopped her.

"Young Master He?"

Ye Qinghuai turned her head and saw Qin Baozhu standing at the intersection looking at Ye Qinghuai with a basket full of vegetables in one hand and three medium-sized wine jars in the other.

She was wearing a blue and white cloth shirt, and she held a square scarf of the same cloth on her head. She looked like a woman, but her big watery eyes rolled around, showing the cunning of a girl. look like.

Ye Qinghuai paused in her heart, then sank.

In fact, she was vaguely hoping that Qin Baozhu would not be in Wenxintang.Unexpectedly, she was the first to meet her.

This is inevitable.

Ye Qinghuai put her thoughts into her eyes, smiled politely, clasped her fists and said, "Miss Qin, long time no see."

Qin Baozhu also smiled at her, and was about to say something when she saw the knife in Ye Qinghuai's waist, her expression trembled, like a frightened white rabbit.

Ye Qinghuai followed her gaze to see her waist knife, she stretched out her hand to press the handle of the knife, hid the knife behind her back, comforted Qin Baozhu and said: "It's been a little rough recently, so I brought a knife for self-defense, to scare the girl Yes, sorry."

Only then did Qin Baozhu's expression ease. She looked at Ye Qinghuai with admiration in her eyes, and said, "I thought it was already remarkable that you could read. I didn't expect you to be able to wield a knife."

She walked up to Ye Qinghuai and asked, "Have you participated in Chunwei?"

Ye Qinghuai was slightly taken aback, and said with deep eyes: "I have participated."

"I went to see Chunwei's list, but I didn't see your name." Qin Baozhu straightened his face, lowered his voice, and said to Ye Qinghuai, "Don't feel bad, failing the list does not necessarily mean that you are not talented enough. This time Chunwei something wrong."

Ye Qinghuai suddenly raised her head to look at her, but saw Qin Baozhu nodded at her firmly.

She looked around and saw no one around, then weighed the vegetable basket in her hand, smiled at Ye Qinghuai and said, "Do you want to stay for a meal?"

Ye Qinghuai pretended to hesitate for a moment, then saluted and said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to follow orders."

Qin Baozhu didn't go through the main entrance, but led Ye Qinghuai around half a circle, and walked through the side entrance of Wenxin Hall.

It was a very inconspicuous small door, and the gray color almost melted into the brick wall.If it wasn't for Qin Baozhu leading the way, Ye Qinghuai wouldn't even notice that there was a door here.

"Help me get the wine." After speaking, Qin Baozhu handed three full wine jars to Ye Qing's arms, and freed one hand to fumble for the lock key on his waist.

The corners of Ye Qinghuai's eyes twitched, and he almost missed the three jars.

It's too heavy!

She felt that her waist was straining while holding it with both hands, but Qin Baozhu actually walked such a long distance with one hand.

Ye Qinghuai was suddenly worried.

After she was established as the crown prince, Emperor Shunping saw that she was thin, so he specially assigned two martial arts teachers to her, one taught her riding and archery, and the other taught her kung fu.At that time, Emperor Shunping had to check her martial arts lessons every day, and Ye Qinghuai practiced very hard.

Because of this experience of hard training in martial arts, although Ye Qinghuai doesn't think she has any talent in martial arts, it is more than enough to deal with a weak girl in the ordinary market.

But now, she deeply doubts that even if she has a long knife in her body, she may not be able to beat this "weak girl".

Qin Baozhu didn't notice Ye Qinghuai's expression. She pushed open the door, took three wine jars from Ye Qinghuai's arms, and stepped into the backyard.

Then she turned her head, looked at Ye Qinghuai who was stunned in place, and said with a smile, "Come in."

Ye Qinghuai followed her into the yard in a daze, rearranging her plans in her mind.

"There are a lot of people today, and Uncle Hu isn't here, so I'm the only one cooking, so I have to go quickly." Qin Baozhu put the wine jar on the ground in the courtyard, and said, "They are all in the front yard, you can go find them .”

After Qin Baozhu finished speaking, seeing Ye Qinghuai standing still, he thought she was afraid of life, and said to her: "Qin Yang went out with Uncle Hu today, and he was not in the academy. But Lin Yuxiu is here, you saw him last time His, he has been living in the academy."

It was the scholar with a handsome face and a sharp tongue.When we met last time, his every word was like a knife criticizing the court and the world as useless.Ye Qinghuai was quite impressed with him.

"Unfortunately, he also failed this time." Qin Baozhu sighed and said again, "It's really a pity for him."

After finishing speaking, she carried the vegetable basket into the kitchen.

Only Ye Qinghuai and the three wine jars on the ground were left in the yard.

She thought about it, and walked towards the front yard of the blue brick and Daiwa.

As she stepped through the gate to the second entry yard, she heard people talking.

Ye Qinghuai followed the sound and walked towards a lecture hall with a closed door. Through the cracks between the doors and windows, she saw a dozen men sitting around the room, young in their 20s and older in their forties. Years old, most of them are dressed in long gowns of literati and scholars.

Then she heard Lin Yuxiu's voice coming from inside.

"To survive in this world is not what I wish. Yuxiu wishes to recommend Xuanyuan with blood. If it can be exchanged for half a moment of clarity in the world, then the wish is enough."
