The punishment of the female imperial court

Maybe he was overworked on this journey and had to travel for days. After Boyi finished saying that, Yu Qiansi felt that his shoulders were much lighter. During the next five days of the journey, apart from diagnosing Wang Song's pulse and making medicine, he stayed in bed. In the carriage, he fell asleep in a dark place.

When the Holy Driver arrived at Longyuan, it was already dusk.

Yu Qiansi then put on his riding clothes in a daze and rode his horse to follow the troops of the Imperial Guard and the Criminal Division.

The imperial mausoleum is located in the southeast outside Longyuan City.

Even if the light is dim, you can see a steamed bun mountain in the distance, hidden at the end of the sky, as if someone has made a rubbing from the painting outside Longyuan. However, the person who made the rubbing was not very good at cutting it neatly at the top of the mountain, leaving behind a flat incision.

Boyi rode up to her and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Entering the realm of Longyuan is the sphere of influence of the Lan family. Don't forget what I said before."

Watch out for the Lan family.

Yu Qian looked around, nodded and whispered: "The terrain here is indeed somewhat interesting. The dead trees and bushes, the narrow paths and official roads, seem random and natural, but they all imply the arrangement of the Thirty-Six Tiangang Stars. When needed, just Moving different things can have different effects.”

It can even become a killing array.

Hearing this, Boyi's heart sank: "I heard that the ancestors of the Yi family, one of the four families, designed the drawings for Emperor Gaozu. I wonder if the Lan family will use them."

If the Lan family also knew how to use the formation, even with the masters of the Imperial Guards and the Ministry of Justice, they would probably find it difficult to match them.

Entering Longyuan, wouldn't it be like entering the palm of the Lan family?

Yu Qiansi didn't take it seriously. The Imperial Guards who were opening the way stopped, and the Holy Driver also slowly stopped.

It should be an hour's journey from the imperial mausoleum, why did it stop halfway up the mountain?

She waved her riding whip and walked around to the front of the team, followed closely by Boyi.

A group of people dressed in gray clothes stood on both sides of the road with altars offering incense.

The first man was a man in his twenties, with a broad face, deep eyebrows, and dark skin. He looked more like a woodcutter wearing the wrong scholar's long shirt.

"The twenty-seventh generation of the Lan family, the acting patriarch Lan Shu and the Lan family members are here to welcome the Holy Spirit."

"Acting patriarch?" Yu Qiansi stood on the horse and looked at the surrounding terrain: "This place is still some distance from the imperial mausoleum. The Lan family is ordered to guard the imperial mausoleum, how can they leave without reason?"

"I dare not deceive you. The former patriarch has not returned from his travels. Since receiving the holy order, Lan Shu has been consulting the classics and preparing to welcome the holy king. I just found out a few days ago that according to the ancestral system, an altar should be set up here. Sacrifice to the heaven and earth. I was about to leave after setting up the altar, but I didn't want the Holy One to come, so I could only stop and wait for fear of disturbing the Holy One in a hurry. "

Boyi approached Yu Qiansi and explained softly: "The Lan family can leave the imperial mausoleum after asking for permission."

I just don't know if it's still the same person I met when I was a child, or if he went to Yunyou with Jiang Jiqing's approval.

Yu Qiansi nodded towards Boyi, and Boyi turned his horse's head and went to the driver's office to inform him.

After a while, the palace people all lit up the big lamps, casting a warm light on this mountain col, like a snake snaking around.

Three clusters of whips sounded, and Yu Qiansi dismounted his horse together with everyone else, and stood with the imperial guards on the left and right, covering the entire road like a human wall.

Two palace servants held lanterns and led the way, followed by the emperor and his ministers.

When Jiang was clear, he walked slowly to the altar. The Lan family members bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, shouting long live the mountain.

"Be flat."

Lan Shu then stood up, walked around the altar, and handed three sticks of incense to Jiang Jiqing.

"Your Majesty, slave Lan Shu -" Jiang Jiqing took the three sticks of incense from Lan Shu: "Thank you for your hard work."

With a voice that could not hide the tiredness of Green City, Jiang Ji lightly interrupted what Lan Shu wanted to say, turned to look at his side, and said to Lan Shu: "Bring over three more sticks of incense."

Lan Shu then looked at Jiang Jiqing's side. In the shadow of the candlelight, a woman stood quietly.

It was Su Niang who was all wrapped up in a cloak.

The officials from the Ministry of Rites behind him were extremely horrified when they heard what Jiang Jiqing said.

Lan Shu also stayed in place, but when she saw clearly that the emperor's face seemed to be smiling but not smiling, with a hint of anger, she quickly knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty, this servant is scared. According to the great etiquette, only the queen of the palace can be with the emperor. "

This time, the courtiers unanimously spoke out and tried to dissuade him. Both the Qingliu Party and the Duke of Qi Party were wary of this woman of unknown origin. What's more, this woman is not even a concubine in the harem now, how can she be sacrificed with the emperor?
Especially the courtiers who have some relationship with Queen Zheng are not very good-looking.

Yu Qiansi was watching the wonderful scene with her arms folded. Boyi appeared quietly beside her at some point, shaking his head and sighing: "Why did he behave like this?"

Yu Qiansi raised her eyebrows lightly and smiled with interest: "I do think that this acting patriarch of the Lan family is somewhat interesting."

Boyi glanced at Lan Shu and understood what Yu Qiansi meant.

Lan Shu was thousands of miles away, how could he tell at a glance that the woman beside the emperor was not the queen?
Or is it that the Lan family already knew about the attack on the holy driver, and was even more aware of the emperor being rescued by a village woman?
No matter which one, it is not something that the tomb keeper should be concerned about.

The argument continued in the compartment, and Su Niang finally begged the emperor to take back his life with a trembling voice. Jiang Jiqing reluctantly lit the incense, paid homage, turned around, held Su Niang's hand, and returned to the carriage with a cold face.

"I don't know if your Majesty treats Su Niang sincerely." Seeing Jiang being so clear, Boyi's words became even more worried.

"You choose your own path." After Yu Qiansi mounted the horse, only the emperor who pretended to be affectionate was left with the corner of his eyes. Instead, he kept staring at Lan Shu, who was leading the way for the imperial guards.

"Bo Yi, are you ready for the person you want to find?"

Boyi knew that Yu Qiansi was talking about Tufuzi.

The terrain of the imperial mausoleum is complex, and ordinary local masters who wander around at will may be frightened.

He looked back and forth and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he rode closer to Yu Qiansi.

"Don't worry, I have some general knowledge of the situation of the imperial mausoleum. I have already found a suitable candidate before coming here. I think he will arrive soon. I will inform him after we make a plan."

Yu Qiansi nodded, and then realized that the candlelight in the dark night could not reach them riding horses.

"You weren't discovered, were you?"

If you want to find a native master, you have to go to the ghost market. But Yun Zhongjun looked at him with eager eyes last time and did not welcome people from the official family.

When Boyi heard this, he laughed happily, with a hint of naivety in his voice.

"I used someone else's identity to buy wedding stickers in Yunzhong City, so it should be fine."

"I know you're doing things properly, but you still have to be more careful, especially for the capable country masters."

Boyi said "Yes": "I have carefully inquired about this candidate. This person was adopted by a Kun Dao since he was a child. He was originally a businessman. Later, he went to help the Tufuzi for the sake of his daughter who was born with deficiencies at home. They opened the tomb just to ask for some money to treat their daughter. I allowed him to take away the precious medicinal materials in the tomb."

Most of these medicinal materials are rare tributes and have no royal marks. It is a rare opportunity for this person. (End of chapter)
