First Class Concubine

Chapter 80 Night Detective
"What can you say about this hairpin?" In the snow courtyard, the night was filled.It's so late, Lechen is still in the future.Qijing was a little restless, so she called someone over to talk with her.

"Return to the county lord, this hairpin was given by the first emperor." Mama Ma followed in today, and when Qijing asked, she immediately talked with eloquence: "I have to say that the things that the first emperor bestowed back then are not worth a thousand dollars." There are also eight hundred. But this hairpin has a different meaning."

Qijing leaned on the couch: "Oh, what's the difference?"

"It is said..." Mama Ma deliberately lowered her voice: "It is said that before the emperor ascended the throne, there was a person he had a crush on. He wanted to marry the family, and even designed this hairpin by himself, and planned to give it to a girl... As a result , I got the hairpin, but the girl died of illness and disappeared... Afterwards, this matter was over. Only after Concubine Xu entered the palace, for some reason, she gave the hairpin to Concubine Xu."

Qijing was speechless for a moment: "So, is there any special meaning for Concubine Xu to give me this hairpin?" She thought about it, but it was meaningless except to incite hatred and respond to others.

Can a hairpin determine the next emperor?Like the phoenix hairpin of the second princess?What a joke, now that hairpin may sink in which river bottom.

"If you say it has special meaning, it really doesn't have any. It's just that this hairpin has another name, which is: Zhongqing. When you look at this hairpin and look across it, does it look like a clock?"

Nanny Qi suddenly interjected: "Master, this hairpin should be put away properly. It should have been a good gift from the former emperor. What's more, this hairpin has been in the hands of Concubine Xu. When Concubine Xu got it, but once Even the sun does not dare to wear it. After all, what woman in this world is so blessed by the emperor?"

Qijing's heart moved and he understood.

So, Concubine Xu brought out this hairpin just to provoke people and provoke hatred by the way.

Not only did the empress dowager's hatred hold back, but if the emperor's thoughts were to succeed today, he would feel hatred if he saw this hairpin.Whether it is an emperor or an ordinary person.It is not a happy thing for one's biological father to fall in love with another woman.

You Qi heard that the Supreme Emperor was very displeased with the present because he doted on a certain concubine back then.Before becoming the emperor today, he suffered a lot.

The emperor is the Ninth Five-Year King, could he wrong himself?Even if it is a little bit of unhappiness, the slightest bit of unhappiness will cause immeasurable consequences.

"Concubine Xu, why did you give me this?"

"I don't know." Nanny Qi backed away again, and Nanny Ma rolled her eyes, but she couldn't say anything at this moment.

Qijing sent them away, and asked Li again: "Tell me about this Concubine Xu."

"Yes, master." Although Li knew everything, she really knew very little about Concubine Xu.By Le Chen's side, she is just a person who is good at intelligence.But the level is low, and I don't know much.

"Concubine Xu was once the granddaughter of the Taifu under the rule of the former emperor. After entering the palace, she was favored by the late emperor. But not long after, the Taifu passed away, and there were only some less outstanding uncles and brothers in the family. The Xu family fell. Involved in another accident, and then lost the favor of the late emperor. From then on, she fell silent in the palace... Only one daughter was left, who was married to Xiyi by the emperor, and never came back..."

"So, why do you think she gave me this hairpin? Is she trying to tell me that the favor of the emperor's family is unreliable?"

Li didn't dare to answer this, but said cautiously: "Maybe, it's just to annoy the Queen Mother. After the Xu family fell, Concubine Xu had a hard time in the palace for a while. It was because she was attached to the Queen Mother that she was able to save her only daughter... But after the emperor ascended the throne, he immediately married her daughter to Xiyi, and she was infertile all her life. Even though she is a princess, she is living in a foreign country, so I'm afraid her life is not going well... Concubine Xu, maybe she has resentment in her heart."

I still find it weird, after all, the emperor has so many daughters-in-law, why should he rush her through this?She is still young, she hasn't really married into their royal family yet!
Makes no sense.

If she can't figure it out, she gives up. She has experienced the experience of the last days, and her logical thinking is different from that of normal people. These ancient people are even more twists and turns. She can't keep up with the rhythm.Sigh, the human heart is indeed the most difficult thing to understand.

…………

Using cultivation as an excuse to make people stay far away.The night grew deeper and deeper.

It's the third watch, and Lechen is still in the future.

Qijing was worried, but couldn't think about it.Although she didn't live in a daze when she came here, the world she can touch is not too spacious.Especially with Le Chen's matter, she was willing to help him, but he didn't want to make her too tired.

He is willing to tell her about him.But what to do every day, where to go, but will not tell her.

Just like at this time, she was worried, but she didn't know where to go to find him.

Once a habit is formed, it is always uncomfortable to break it suddenly.

She is used to someone hugging her to sleep, and she is used to having a human-shaped heater with a constant temperature beside her on winter nights.Not at this time, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

After thinking about it, he simply got up.Changed into black clothes, avoided other people, and went to the Thousand Children's Court next door.

The Thousand Kindergarten was specially set up by Su Youliang to adopt orphans.

When Qijing mentioned this matter before, although he felt strange, he didn't feel relieved.What was found was nothing special.

It is said that Su Youliang is because he has never had a son.So, want to adopt some orphans.One is to accumulate blessings; the other is to take the opportunity to train some manpower.

What is known is that so far, the Su family has adopted 36 children.

Although Qijing also felt that the courtyard was a bit weird, he didn't care too much.

One is that she is not interested in the Su family's things, and the other is that she doesn't want to stare at these things.If people adopt them, they adopt them and give these children a chance. Isn't that a good thing?

Human beings are already in such a difficult situation. If she goes to make a fuss, it will really be a mess. How will these children settle down?
But tonight, she was extremely depressed.Looking left and right, she was not willing to do those things she was used to.I couldn't calm down when I was practicing, and I just thought about what happened that day, so I came here.

This yard is not big, because it is only a relief place, so it is not exquisite, but more importantly, it is practical.

The utilization rate of the space is very high, the house is connected with the house, and the vacant space is a vacant lot.The steps are very tight... Presumably, it should be the playground for those children.

Qijing's mental power scanned the situation in the house, and the whole person flew into the courtyard and stopped outside the door of a room.

As soon as he landed, he heard a rough voice, yelling viciously: "Damn you bastard, you dare to sue the master, see if I turn around and send him to the palace, let him be a eunuch for the rest of his life."

Another voice comforted: "Okay, what are you fussing about with those children. They are all pitiful..."

"They are pitiful, isn't I pitiful? These bastards..."

"Okay, go to sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow and send them into the mountains. I don't know yet, how many people will come back!"

"Hmph! What are you afraid of? If there is a shortage, you can always make up for it. These days, there are a lot of things that sell children and daughters. Two taels of silver, you can get a bunch of them back..."

Under the mental strength, the situation in the house, Qijing can see clearly.

Two people should be the ones who take care of these children.

The one who looks fierce is the one who speaks in a foul voice.The other looked like a scholar, speaking slowly.But obviously, neither of them is a good person.Even though the scholar said he was pitiful, there was no pity in his eyes.

Suddenly, Qijing's mental power moved, and she moved her body at will. In an instant, she was on the roof, quietly looking at a window in the yard.

I saw a few children, each carrying a package, climbing out of the window.

Qijing raised her eyebrows. It seems that these children are really not doing well here, and they are so bad that they want to run away.

However, both of them have kung fu, and there are two guards hiding around here.They want to escape, it is very difficult!

Qijing Wangtian finally decided to help them.

Not exactly kindness.However, at this stage, if it can make Su Youliang unhappy, she is always happy.

Came to the guard in a mysterious manner, and knocked him lightly, knocking him unconscious.The two in the room are also handled in the same way.

Those children have all turned out at this time.They hid in the corner, huddled up, and carefully observed their surroundings.Like a little mouse hiding in a hole and about to come out to look for food.

After counting the seven sceneries, there are as many as nine.

She couldn't help worrying about them secretly, among the nine, the oldest was in his teens, and the youngest was only a few years old.They couldn't even walk in an orderly manner, so they wanted to escape...the success rate was too low.

Not to mention how far they can run.Their goals are too big, and, in such a short period of time, many mistakes have occurred.Footsteps, panting too loud.What's more, one of them was carrying something on his body, and when he moved, he made a crisp sound.

"What are you doing?" The abrupt voice made Qijing sweat all over.Turning around bitterly, staring at the person who had already hugged her: "It scared me."

In the end, she was even more aggrieved than she: "You were too attentive, and you didn't notice me coming. I've been standing here for a long time." The more I said, the more I was aggrieved: "Besides, if I don't come back so late, you don't worry about me, why don't you worry about me?" Out to have fun. I didn't find you when I came back."

Qijing lifted his feet off the ground, put his arms around his neck, and kissed his forehead to comfort him.Then he pointed to the children in the yard and said, "These are the children adopted by the Su family, but now these children want to escape. Although I don't know what happened, I always feel that... something is wrong!"

Le Chen was very clear, and his voice was a little heavy: "Human hunting."

"What?" Qijing had never heard this word before.

"Hunting, you know?"

This is naturally known.

"However, some people think that just hunting wild prey is not exciting enough. So someone came up with the idea of ​​getting some people as prey. At the beginning, they were some domestic slaves, and they would not die. At most, they would be injured... ...But later, they felt that it was not enough, so they brought in prisoners on death row. It doesn't matter whether they are life or death... And now, there are all kinds of things."

"So, the so-called adoption from the beginning was just to let them go to die?"

"It stands to reason that Su Youliang is a civil servant, and he rarely participates in such activities, and he wants to gain his reputation. There is no need for it at all... But since he did it, it must be—someone ordered him to do it."

Qijing's eyes lit up: "That is to say, if we search from here, we can find the person behind him?"
