Chapter 30
Qiao Yuan has been in heat since she was a child, and her eyes and ears are all in heat, and she is only polite. Who would have thought that she would be ashamed all day long after marrying such a rough mud-legged person like Qi Cun.

Every time he came, the maids in the room consciously blushed and left.

Outsiders may not know what they think of her, and they may even think that she is... someone who seduces her husband to do dirty things in broad daylight.

The more Qiao Yuan thought about it, the more angry he became. He planned to go back to sleep, but his drowsiness was driven away by his own thoughts, so he turned around irritably.

Unexpectedly, Qi Cun was still asleep, and when she moved, he could sense it.

Qiao Yuan felt a warm body approaching, but because she still remembered that she was still angry, she didn't dare to get too close, and kept a distance in between.

There was a familiar smell on the tip of my nose.

Qi Cun is not like the aristocrat in Shangjing who likes to smoke all kinds of expensive spices on his clothes, his clothes only have a faint fragrance of saponins.

But he is full of energy, and after exercising, he will sweat a little, forming a reassuring smell.

Qiao Yuan seemed to be back in a dream in a trance, the moment Qi Cun picked her up, the irritability and depression in his heart did not dissipate, and instead a kind of indescribable sadness flooded his heart.

Trapped in the memory of the dream for a long time, she couldn't help asking: "Qi Cun, do you really like me so much?"

After a pause, they murmured: "In life, we should come back, and in death, we should love each other."

There was no reply for a long time, Qi Cun probed to see that it was just a raving of Qiao Yuan before he fell asleep.

……

Half a month later, the autumn colors are getting stronger, the temperature is pleasant, and the osmanthus is fragrant.

Qiao Yuan took Jin Shu to the flower pavilion to enjoy the flowers and fish.

Jin Shu served Qiao Yuan with sweet-scented osmanthus cake, but seeing a secret excitement on Jin Shu's face, he stopped talking several times.

"What's the matter? Which good man have you exchanged feelings with?" Qiao Yuan couldn't help but joked.

Jin Shu pretended to be angry and said: "Miss, how can you mess with the mandarin duck book?"

Jin Shu suddenly lowered his head, leaned close to Qiao Yuan, and whispered: "I have heard, I have heard that something big happened in Beijing recently, and there is a lot of turmoil outside now."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Qiao Yuan's curiosity was aroused. Since returning to the mansion, Qi Cun has not let her leave the mansion.

Xiaoyu's case has not been revealed for a long time, and there is no trace of the person behind it. Qiao Yuan thinks of Gu Zhong and what happened in her dream, and has no intention of going out for fun.

"The largest gambling house in Beijing, Yingou Gambling House, was sealed by the government, and it also implicated several other gambling houses, even Yunjin Pavilion. Everyone is rumoring that it is related to people in the palace." Jinshu Jinjin said.

Qiao Yuan took a sip of tea and threatened Jin Shu with a stern face: "Stop chewing these things, if someone listens to it, you will be punished."

Jin Shu's face immediately drooped.

Qiao Yuan burst into laughter: "You are as brave as you are, and you still spread rumors about something related to the palace. Go, go to the housekeeper and get this month's account book."

Jin Shu made a false alarm, was coquettish for a moment, and then went in obedience.

Not long after, I came back with some ledgers.

Qiao Yuan ate snacks while looking at the ledger, totally unaware that Qi Cun had sneaked up behind her.

Qi Cun smiled and sat down beside her.

He took the account book away and waved it to the servant to take it away. As soon as the servants left, Qi Cun hugged Qiao Yuan and sat on his lap, with one hand around his waist and the other squeezing Qiao Yuan's hand to play with.

Start a routine of asking her what she did that day.

It's nothing more than getting up at three o'clock in the morning, eating, entertaining Brother Ting, and taking a few steps in the house in the afternoon.

If you are interested, maybe you will embroider some handkerchief clothes and the like.

Qiao Yuan didn't know why Qi Cun was so interested in her ordinary daily life. Even though every day was the same, he still couldn't get tired of hearing about it.

Suddenly, Qiao Yuan turned around, supported his shoulders with both hands, and asked, "What happened recently?"

Qi Cun raised his eyebrows: "Indeed."

"Many officials in the court were suspected of secretly setting up gambling houses. Among them, Yingou Gambling House was even reported in a letter to be controlled by a senior official of the court. His Majesty was furious and ordered me to find out the truth." Osmanthus on the shoulder.

"Then daddy and elder brother?" Qiao Yuan was startled.

Qi Cun reassured: "They are fine, but I was ordered to investigate, relatives and officials need to avoid suspicion, and take a rest for a while, and when the case comes to light, they can be reinstated. It won't take a few days, but there are still some important officials who are under review."

Qiao Yuan nodded, her anxious heart falling.

The sweet-scented osmanthus flowers are blooming so beautifully. I’ll pick some to make some wine with you. The sweet-scented osmanthus wine is so sweet that it’s suitable for you to drink. "

After listening to Qiao Yuan, he was instantly interested and forgot about it.

Compared with the tranquility of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, the palace is now dark and turbulent.

After the Longhu Mountain earthquake, the eldest prince's legs were disabled. After learning that he could not recover, his temper became crazy, and the queen washed her face in tears all day long.

Grand Prince's Palace.

"Boom! Boom!" One after another, the eunuchs and maids outside the door lowered their heads, their bodies trembling with the sound of porcelain shattering, their heads lowered even lower, as if they could hide themselves like this.

After a while, the sound stopped. Xiao Anzi carefully pushed the door open and saw a mess in the hall.

After waving her hand, the palace maid outside the door walked in quietly and neatly, quickly cleaning up the messy ground.

Xiao Anzi walked into the inner room and saw the eldest prince Li Dian sitting in a wheelchair with blood dripping from his hands.

I knelt down and made peace, and it took a while before I got the answer.

Hastily stepped forward, and cautiously said in a flattering voice: "Congratulations to the eldest prince, the matter is over, and now the second prince has pushed Gu Zhong and Hubu Shangshu out to take the blame in order to protect himself. Now the Marquis of Zhenbei has sent someone The ransacking of the house will only wait until the court tomorrow, although the two of them are not guilty of death, but their future is ruined, they must be dismissed from office, and those who secretly support the second prince in the court..."

"Good! Good! Good!" Li Dian shouted three times impatiently.

It was rumored in the palace that His Majesty intends to make the eldest prince Li Dian the King of Yong'an.

The queen and the eldest prince believed that there must be something fishy about this matter, but since there was no evidence at all, they could only secretly doubt the second prince Li Min.

Even if there were no clues pointing to Li Min, but he became the biggest beneficiary of the earthquake, the eldest prince was filled with hatred and had already laid the blame on Li Min.

Then the eldest prince unexpectedly bumped into Li Min's men meeting privately with the owner of Yingou Gambling House.

To this end, offer a strategy, even if Li Min cannot be killed off the horse, it can still make him lose his right hand and right arm.

The second prince Li Min wanted to deal with various officials and gather information, all of which needed a lot of money, and his own salary alone was far from enough, so he could only take risks and invest in a gambling house privately.

The laws of the Daji Dynasty have been repeatedly stated. Officials in the DPRK who participate in gambling will be punished with an additional level of crime. First-time offenders who set up gambling in the form of fun will be punished with a cane. Habitual gambling will be punished with a felony. Those who set up or take refuge in private will be dismissed from their posts and are not allowed to redeem. , never renew.

Not long ago, the Minister of Punishment wrote fourteen secret documents one after another to report to His Majesty the officials' involvement in gambling. After careful investigation by the court, more than twenty officials were involved.

Among them, there are those involved in gambling, those who set up gambling workshops, and those who protect gambling. The officials and officials protect each other and deceive the emperor.

His Majesty was so angry that he withdrew from court for three days and ordered the Marquis of Zhenbei to be the imperial envoy and assist the Ministry of Punishment to thoroughly investigate the matter. For a time, everyone in Beijing was in danger.
