The second marriage of the emperor's favorite princess

As an archaeologist, if she has a map in her hand, she will not get lost.Not even without a map.It's just that she was too unlucky to be pointed the wrong way, and finally found out that she had gone wrong when she drove to this wilderness.

Qiu Xuan didn't say anything, just asked her to get in the car, took the whip, rolled up his sleeves and started the return journey.Because he was busy on his way, he didn't wash his face or arrange his clothes after waking up, with a few strands of messy hair hanging down in a bun.Although she is still handsome, she lacks energy. As expected, people rely on clothes.

"Qiu Xuan, looking at you like this, you really look like someone who eloped."

Qiu Xuan glanced at her sideways: "You don't look like that. If you say I eloped, could it be that I eloped with this unlucky horse?"

"You look sloppy, why do you say that the horse is unlucky?" [

"Isn't it unlucky? How much more has it traveled?"

Bai Lian laughed and said: "Understood, it's all my fault, please have a good meal after the meeting."

Being with Qiu Xuan is always full of joy.Along the way, Bai Lian was in a good mood. The humiliation he suffered earlier and the pain of losing his child were also relieved. It always felt like traveling.

But good days always come to an end, and soon, they arrived at a small town.In the ancient city, there are only a dozen shops and more than 100 people.When Bai Lian got off the carriage, it was the old and mottled city wall. There were some old people sitting at the door, chatting about the past.

"It's here." Qiu Xuan sighed, and Bai Lian nodded.

That Eunuch Jin can really find a place to retire. Although it is a city, there are almost no passers-by, and it is surrounded by mountains. It can be said that he is in a semi-hidden state.

Qiu Xuan walked up to those old people, saluted and said: "Several old people, do you know where Mr. Jin lives?"

Those old people pointed to the east of the city and said, "Old Jin lives in the east of the city, who are you from him?"

Qiu Xuan smiled and said, "It's a relative from far away, who came here specially to visit."

"What a beautiful child, Lao Jin also has such relatives."

These old people sighed at the appearance of Qiu Xuan and Bai Lian. These people may have never been in contact with the outside world in their entire lives.Qiu Xuan came to pull the carriage and walked towards the east of the city.

The city is not big, and soon they came to a small courtyard, the courtyard door was open, inside were old tables and stools and a three-room earthen house.

Is this the place where Gui Lao, the most proud eunuch of the late emperor, lived?In Bai Lian's initial imagination, even if it wasn't magnificent, at least it was a big mansion.But this one in front of him is clearly an ordinary family.

Qiu Xuan shouted at the door: "Is Mr. Jin at home?"

A little girl ran out, looked at Qiu Xuan and Bai Li'an, and asked a little timidly: "Who are you? What do you want from my grandfather?"

Qiu Xuan showed his small canine teeth, and his smile was very friendly: "Tell your grandfather that Qiu Xuan is visiting."

The little girl hurried into the house again, and not long after, an old man with white hair came out, looked carefully at Qiu Xuan, and said with a smile: "What kind of wind brought Master Qiu here?"

Only then did Qiu Xuan lead Bai Lian into the yard, bowed and said, "Mr. Jin still remembers the junior?"

The old man nodded and said: "The youngest person in the Snow Country is number one in the national examination. When you played chess with the late emperor, the old man even held the lamp. Who is this?"

Bai Lian bowed and said, "Hello Mr. Jin, this junior is Qiu Xuan's wife."

Qiu Xuan looked at Bai Lian, who winked at him.Now that I have acted as a couple all the way, let's just continue acting.

"It's really a talented girl, Mrs. Xian, please come in. Xiaoyue, bring tea."

Jin Quan, Eunuch Jin, a big celebrity around the late emperor, now only lives in a simple hut, with a little girl waiting by his side.

Xiaoyue saw that she was a child here, and she was very shy when she saw strangers.Bring tea up, pour it into tea bowls and deliver it one by one, without daring to look up.Eunuch Jin asked her to go out to play, and there were only three of them left in the house.

"This old man lives in seclusion here, intending to find it silently. No one knows about this place, how did Master Qiu find it?"

Qiu Xuan glanced at Bai Li'an, then put down the tea bowl: "Eunuch Jin, to be honest, I sent someone to find out the whereabouts of Eunuch."

"Oh why?"

"Because there is a very important matter, I have to ask my father-in-law."

Bai Lian has been watching their conversation, she is more curious than anyone else, but in this era, in order not to cause unnecessary complications, it is better to let the men talk.

Jin Quan pursed his lips, his face was no longer so relaxed: "It is... what is it?"

Qiu Xuan stared closely at his eyes, and the little tiger teeth also retracted: "Eunuch Jin should be very familiar with the sheepskin maps in the rockery of the palace, the secret caves in the wilderness on the outskirts of the city, and thousands of government officials."

There was such a moment of fear and suspicion on Jin Quan's face, which was enough to prove that he really knew about the organ people, so it is very likely that he put the sheepskin map into the rockery.

But, why, what is the secret behind all this?

Jin Quan saw Qiu Xuan's piercing eyes, he knew he had guessed it, closed his eyes and sighed, Jin Quan looked at the bright sunshine outside the house.

"It was Your Majesty who called you here?"

Qiu Xuan shook his head: "Your Majesty doesn't know what's going on, it's me, I want to find out why, and then consider whether to tell Your Majesty."

Jin Quan looked at Qiu Xuan in surprise. After a long time, he sighed again: "If this is the case, I advise you to forget about it and be your great scholar. If you don't know, you will have a good life But if you know, not only will you and your family’s lives be at stake, but your own heart will also suffer.”

Qiu Xuan and Bai Lian looked at each other again, and then Qiu Xuan looked at Jin Quan and said, "I came here to find out why. No matter what the result is, I don't regret it. Eunuch Jin, go ahead."

Jin Quan sighed for the third time and took a sip of his tea. He looked down at the curling steam coming out of the tea bowl for a long time.

"Back then, I was greedy for life and afraid of death, so I hid the late emperor's last wish. But in my heart, perhaps I still hoped that someone would find out, so I sealed the sheepskin map in the rockery. After so many years, I didn't expect to be discovered by someone. That person, unexpectedly It's still you, Qiuxuan. You are a loyal and upright child, how do you make a decision when you know the truth? After all, both of you are your masters."

Qiu Xuan frowned tightly: "The late emperor's edict?! Shouldn't the late emperor's edict be passed on to the emperor?!" [

Jin Quan smiled, very sadly: "There are two copies of the late emperor's edict, and the one announced by the emperor is not one of them."

Bai Lian covered his mouth, but still couldn't help exclaiming: "You mean, the edict announced by the emperor is a fake?!"

Jin Quan looked at Bai Li'an, his wrinkled face couldn't help twitching, and tears welled up in his eyes that were no longer bright.

"Yes."
