Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 536 The Depth of the City
After the banquet was over, Liu Yunxiang and Su Rumeng left the house together.

"The third child is not here today?"

When she was in the back garden, all the male guests passed by, but she didn't seem to see the third prince, Qin Sheng'an.

"He didn't come, this year there is Qiu Wei, the emperor asked him to take full responsibility for this matter, to ensure the smooth progress of Qiu Wei." Su Rumeng said.

Every three years in Autumn, scholars from all over the world gather to select the talents of pillars. The emperor asked Qin Sheng'an to take charge of this matter. Firstly, it was a high priority, and secondly, he wanted him to attract talents and lay a foundation for himself in the future.

But Qin Sheng'an may not be able to handle this matter well, he doesn't have the ability.

"He goes out early and returns late every day, it seems that he really puts his heart into it, and I am happy to be at leisure."

Liu Yunxiang patted Su Rumeng's hand, "Sister Su, I know you are suffering, but you have to endure it, and you will get through it."

Su Rumeng held Liu Yunxiang with her backhand, "For Yu'er, I can only grit my teeth and suffer, but sister, if one day I don't survive, you have to take care of Yu'er for me."

"You have to grit your teeth, Yu'er can't live without a mother."

Su Rumeng's eyes were red, she tilted her head and wiped it with a handkerchief, then nodded and smiled, "I can only complain to you."

"I know sister Su's suffering."

Su Rumeng left first, and Liu Yunxiang was waiting for Yan Mu at the door, but he came out after a while.Later, Xue Changfeng was entangled by the fourth prince, Qin Shengrui. Qin Shengrui kept talking, and Xue Changfeng looked as if life would be better than death.

"Your Highness, I really have something to do. I can't play polo with you."

Qin Shengrui put his arms around Xue Changfeng's shoulders, "But you are the only one we lack."

"Are you looking for someone else?"

"We can't be seen by everyone."

"I... my mother just passed away, do you think I'm in a mood?"

Qin Shengrui slapped his forehead, "Oh, I forgot."

Xue Changfeng rolled his eyes, "I wish you all a good time."

"Don't, I'll buy you a drink tonight."

"My mother just passed away..."

"I'll go to your house to drink!"

This time, Xue Changfeng couldn't refuse, but he probably really didn't want to drink alone with the fourth prince, so he looked around and saw only Yan Mu.

"Your Highness Seventh, let's go together tonight?" Xue Changfeng looked at Yan Mu begging for help.

Yan Mu hurriedly waved his hands, "I dare not drink your wine again."

"Hey, you're still in good spirits, let me tell you..."

"Princess is waiting, I'll go first!"

Xue Changfeng didn't give up, he chased Yan Mu and shouted, but Qin Shengrui held him back.

"Not everyone deserves to drink with His Highness!"

"The Seventh Highness, he..."

"What the hell!"

Yan Mu heard it, but ignored it, not everyone deserves his eyes.

Liu Yunxiang was dragged into the carriage by Yan Mu, and through the curtain of the carriage, he saw Xue Changfeng being pinched around the neck by Qin Shengrui, and he was pinched away like a chicken.

"The fourth prince and Mr. Xue seem to have a very good relationship."

"Xue Changfeng just said that he and the fourth child have been companions, and they have played together since childhood."

"The fourth prince eats, drinks and plays, it's rare that Mr. Xue is not contaminated with this habit."

"It can be regarded as a white lotus that emerges from the mud without staining."

"what?"

"He said it himself."

Speaking of this, Yan Mu couldn't help laughing.

Under the urging of Qin Shengrui, Xue Changfeng could only pick up the bowl of wine in front of him in the west courtyard of Wuchang Marquis Mansion, and drank it all in one gulp.A few days ago, he and Yan Mu drank the same wine, so why did it taste bitter today.

"Is that right? Of course you have to drink in a big bowl, and you have to take a sip. This is a real man! Where did I tell you, oh, yes, Lao Kang's concubine looks too attractive. Ask him for it, but he still refuses! What kind of friendship do we have, he dares to offend me for a woman, in the future when you guys meet him, don't give him good looks!"

While talking, Qin Shengrui threw a peanut into his mouth, "That little lady, it suits my heart so much, I'll get it sooner or later."

Xue Changfeng couldn't help but want to say something fair, but he could bear it after thinking about it.

Qin Shengrui is a mad dog, whoever he catches and bites, then Kang Zijian is not a good guy, he doesn't need to cause trouble for him.

"Old Xue, do you think this old Kang can't be hated?"

Xue Changfeng didn't want to say anything against his will, so he poured Qin Shengrui a bowl of wine, "Fourth Highness, I toast you."

Qin Shengrui picked up the wine bowl, "Then we can make a deal about playing polo the day after tomorrow."

Xue Changfeng said helplessly: "Okay, it's settled."

Although Qin Shengrui called them brothers and sisters, he always liked to use his status to suppress others, so he had to agree if he didn't agree.

The two drank a few bowls, and they were both a little drunk.

At this time, Jiang Yunying came and brought him some wine soup.

"Cousin, Your Highness Fourth, it's getting late, you can rest after drinking the wine-knowledge soup."

Xue Changfeng nodded, "Cousin is still virtuous, that bastard Yan Mu also said...cough, anyway, cousin is good, cousin knows."

As he spoke, he stood up and shook his body.

"Cousin, you are drunk."

Xue Changfeng waved his hand, "It's not enough, cousin, you go to rest first, I'll go to the toilet."

Xue Changfeng was a little anxious, he told Jiang Yunying, and hurried out.

Jiang Yunying looked at the Fourth Highness who was sitting on the other side. Obviously, he was also a little drunk, with his head down, and was in a daze.

She looked at him quietly, her eyes getting deeper and deeper, and when she thought of something, her expression showed a hint of sternness.

"What time is it?" Qin Shengrui asked.

Jiang Yunying hurriedly restrained her expression, and said softly: "It's Hai time."

"It's time to go home."

"Your Highness, let's drink the wine soup first, I made it myself."

Qin Shengrui raised his head and saw Jiang Yunying, his muddy eyes suddenly lit up, "Who are you?"

"Xue Changfeng is my cousin."

"Oh, so you are Lao Xue's cousin who is as beautiful as a fairy. I have come to the Hou Mansion a few times and wanted Lao Xue to take me to meet you, but he refused repeatedly. He really didn't give me face."

Jiang Yunying frowned and smiled, as bright as a peach blossom, "Your Highness praised you for being as beautiful as a fairy."

This smile hooked Qin Shengrui's soul, "Lao Kang's concubine's room is not one-tenth of yours."

"Your Highness, drink this bowl of hangover soup first, so as not to have a headache later."

Jiang Yunying picked it up and wanted to send it to Qin Shengrui, but Qin Shengrui didn't pick it up. He stared at Jiang Yunying and said jokingly, "I drank too much and my hands are weak. You can feed me."

"Your Highness, this is not good." Jiang Yun looked like he was being bullied, his eyes misted, but he looked even more charming.

Qin Shengrui couldn't help it, and grabbed Jiang Yunying's hand, "Hey, feed me."

Jiang Yunying twitched her hand, but didn't pull it out, pretending to be angry, glared at Qin Ruirui, and then shyly fed the soup into his mouth.

Qin Shengrui only drank half of it, pretended to be dizzy, and asked Jiang Yunying to take him to the room to rest.

Jiang Yunying looked at the ugly face of Qin Shengrui's sharp-billed monkey cheeks, gritted her teeth, made up her mind, then helped him up, and went to the flower hall next door.

Liu Yunxiang only found out after a few days, when everyone knew about it.

Qin Shengrui was drunk and insulted Jiang Yunying, and Xue Changfeng punched Qin Shengrui in a rage.Later, Marquis Wuchang came forward, and he went into the palace to discuss with the emperor. The emperor, taking into account the face of Marquis Wuchang's mansion, decreed that Jiang Yunying should be given to Qin Shengrui as his side concubine.

Jiang Yunying came from a low family background, and she took the position of concubine only because of the Wuchang Marquis Mansion's decision.

After listening to Liu Yunxiang, he could only sigh that Jiang Yunying was confused. Although Qin Shengrui was the fourth prince, he was by no means a good man.

In the past few days, nothing happened in the yamen, Yan Mu was very free.

"How's the progress of the dismemberment case of the maidservant in Dingyuanhou's Mansion?"

Yan Mu shrugged, "The case has been closed."

"what?"

"I caught a bandit nearby, tortured him to extract a confession, and he confessed."

"Is that the case closed?"

"Ah."

Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows, "Did Qin Feishi miscalculate?"

"There is one more thing."

"what?"

"The sixth girl of the Dingyuan Hou Mansion is missing."
