Chapter 95

Qin Yuxuan, who returned to the room, was tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

That woman... has a gentle majesty in her gentleness, obviously cultivated by her long-term residence, but she doesn't have the general aristocratic atmosphere, her gestures reveal a sturdy temperament, she looks like a general who was born in the army, But there has never been a noble person who is willing to take the martial arts. Where does the nobility in her come from?

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but put on his clothes again, called his personal servant into the painting and asked, "Do you know who are the guests who are here tonight?"

Although Ruhua was curious as to why the young master, who has always been so indifferent to everything, suddenly thought of asking this, he still replied: "Grandma Rong said that she is a businessman from Xijing who came to the capital to visit relatives, because the trip was delayed on the way. , the gate of the city has been closed, so I came to stay overnight."

"Businessman?" Qin Yuxuan was taken aback.

No matter how you look at it, the woman doesn't have the slightest trace of a businessman on her body.

"Young master, I also saw it just now. The young masters around the young lady are so beautiful! Especially her husband, although his face is covered, but his temperament is almost like a fairy." Ru Hua couldn't help but get excited, even though he He is a servant of the Xiangfu's family and serves Qin Yuxuan. He has met many famous sons in the past, but none of them are as refined as Mu Qingchen, as if he is not stained by a trace of dust.

She... actually already has a husband?Qin Yuxuan's expression darkened slightly, but there was an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart.

"Ah...Of course, our young master is the prettiest one!" In the middle of talking in the painting, he noticed the change of expression on his face, and quickly changed his words.

Qin Yuxuan couldn't help but burst into a "puchi" laugh: "Your son, I'm just a layman, how can I compare to a fairy."

"Young master is the most beloved jewel in the palm of Mr. Qin Xiang, how could he be a layman." Ru Hua said with a smile.In his heart, the young master is of course the best, beautiful, gentle, and generous.

"Okay, okay, I'm going to be silly! Go down, I don't need to serve you here, I'm going to sleep." Qin Yuxuan nodded his forehead with a smile on his face.

Ruhua has been with him since he was a child, and he never treats him as the person he is now. The relationship between them is very good.

"Yes, young master, you should rest early." Ruhua helped him to bed, and went to rest on the small bed outside, so that Qin Yuxuan could call him at any time.

Qin Yuxuan didn't know why, but he felt panicked, pulled up the quilt and covered his head until he couldn't breathe, then pulled it down, and then sighed faintly.

The jewel in the palm of the prime minister's mansion, this status is naturally extremely noble in the eyes of outsiders, but... Grandma's love for him is true, but after all these years of cultivating him, it is only a tool to protect the interests of the family.

It's just... it's just that the woman... seems to have a faint sense of familiarity, I didn't notice it just now, but now I think about her voice and smile, but I feel even more puzzled, as if I've seen it somewhere.It is impossible for him to meet women outside casually, so why does he feel familiar?
After much deliberation, he tossed and tossed until dawn before he fell asleep.

When he woke up, the sky was already bright, Ru Hua came in holding the toiletry set, and said with a smile: "Master, I slept well last night, if I were in the mansion, I'm afraid I will be reprimanded again."

"What time is it?" Qin Yuxuan was startled, and quickly lifted the quilt out of bed.

"Oh, son, please slow down!" Ru Hua hurriedly put down the water basin and rushed over to cover him, complaining, "Although it's early spring, the weather is still cold. What if I catch a cold? My son just doesn't like it." Love yourself."

"Okay, you're not done yet." Qin Yuxuan interrupted.

"I'm also concerned about the young master." Ru Hua pouted and muttered.

"Where are the guests from last night?" Qin Yuxuan asked as if nothing had happened while taking the silk scarf to cleanse his face.

"It's been an hour!" Ru Hua smiled, "My lord, don't look at how late it is, the city gate has opened early."

"Leaving?" Qin Yuxuan's hands froze, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

Already gone?After all... I don't even know her name...

"Young Master, Young Master?" Seeing that he was so startled in a daze, Ru Hua couldn't help calling out twice.

"Enter the painting, pack up your things, we'll move back to the mansion in these two days." Qin Yuxuan calmed down and said calmly.

"Oh?" Ruhua was stunned when he heard the words, "Didn't the young master send you to Bie Zhuang to relax? Why are you going back in a few days?"

"So what if you're in Biezhuang? It's not like the same people who don't go out of the gate." Qin Yuxuan sighed softly.

Entering the painting also fell silent. The rules of the big family seem to be extremely honorable, but in fact they are not as good as the situation of some small families.That exquisite and gorgeous cage locked the wings of the bird yearning for the sky.

On the other hand, Su Hailing had already put aside last night's incident, and said goodbye to Grandma Rong early in the morning, and headed for the capital.

It was just when the city gate was first opened, and there were already some people under inspection in front of the checkpoint.

"What's going on?" Situ Ye said while looking out the car window, "In the past, the gate checks in the capital were not so strict."

"The empress is critically ill, the situation is imminent, so the capital is naturally more nervous." Su Hailing smiled nonchalantly.

"Where did you come from?" A haughty voice came from outside the carriage.

"We are from Xijing, and we came to Beijing to find relatives." Meng Ruyan said, taking out a road to lead him there.

The officer took the guide with a big stab, and slipped a small bag into his sleeve calmly.

"Haiyue Villa?" Looking at Lu Yin, a gleam of greed flashed in those narrow eyes, he coughed twice and said again, "Who is in this carriage? Let me see if there are any contraband .”

Meng Ruyan cursed greedily inwardly, covered her hands with her sleeves, and quickly stuffed another bag of silver, while apologetically laughing, "General, there are male relatives in the car, so it's not convenient to show up, so you can do it conveniently."

"The general was ordered to check on the passing people here." The officer, a small captain, was elated when he was called "general", secretly weighed the weight of the money in his hand, licked his lips, and said, "But... look In the name of Haiyue Villa has always been my great Yongliang people, let me give you a face! Let it go!"

"Thank you, General." Meng Ruyan clasped her fists together and drove the carriage through the city gate.

"Cut, what is it!" Situ Ye spat in disdain.

"Forget it, it's not always the same these days." Su Hailing smiled, but didn't care at all.

But Situ Ye was also a heartless person. After getting angry, seeing the streets of the capital after three years of absence, his mood quickly recovered.

"Where are we going to stay?" Mu Qingchen asked in a low voice, "There are too many people in the inn, so it's not very safe."

"I have already made arrangements." Su Hailing said, leaned out of the carriage, handed a small note to Meng Ruyan, and ordered, "Go to this place."

"I didn't know you had property in the capital?" Situ Ye raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "Buying property here is not something you can do with money."

"It's not my place." Su Hailing said.

Situ Ye was taken aback for a moment, but before he could react, he heard Mu Qingchen's affirmative voice: "It must be the stronghold of Xuanming Palace."

"My Qingchen knows best." Su Hailing smiled lowly.

Mu Qingchen gave her a blank look.Continue to close your eyes and meditate, and ignore her no more.

Meng Ruyan drove across a few streets and stopped in front of a silk shop.

"Here we are." Su Hailing carefully helped Mu Qingchen out of the car.

"Hey, miss, young masters, what do you want to buy?" The shopkeeper is a middle-aged woman who is slightly fat and has a smooth smile. , so many princes and nobles have picked materials from me, and the colors and patterns are all excellent!"

"Shopkeeper, my husband is going to make some clothes. I heard that your tailoring skills here are also the best." Su Hailing smiled, and while talking, flipped his hand, revealing a black jade pendant, but it was at the beginning of the year. Yushi Mei Junhan gave her a token.

"Please come inside." The shopkeeper's eyes flashed, and then he let the guests inside as if nothing had happened, and while personally lifting the curtain leading to the inner room, he ordered loudly, "Little Si, park the carriage in the backyard. I will take these distinguished guests to the master in the back hall for a measurement."

"Don't worry shopkeeper, when did I make a mistake!" The little girl behind the counter replied with a smile.

Behind the curtain is a small hall for distinguished guests to rest. The shopkeeper touched a wall, and the wall slid away to both sides without a sound.Only then did a few people realize, where is this wall?It's actually more than three meters thick, and when it's opened, it becomes a short passage!
"What a delicate mechanism." Mu Qingchen couldn't help but admire.

"My lord, please. Miss, please." The shopkeeper faded the businessman's sophisticated smile, and led them in. The wall closed behind him, and even a small crack could not be seen.

I saw that the place where they were standing seemed to be a study room. Although the decoration was simple, it was fresh and elegant.

"The deacon of Xuanming Palace, Le Qing, has seen Miss Su." The shopkeeper said with a solemn face.

"Deacon Le doesn't need to be too polite." Su Hailing nodded and said, "Perhaps Palace Master Mei's letter has arrived?"

"The palace lord has ordered that all the power of the Xuanming Palace in the capital will be at the young lady's disposal." Yue Qing replied.

"When will he arrive?" Su Hailing asked.

"The palace lord has already entered Dayong, if there is no accident, it will only happen in these two days." Yue Qing thought for a while before saying.

"Well, what is this place? Is it safe?" Su Hailing asked.

"Miss, don't worry, this is an ordinary residential house, and the head of the household is a native of the capital, so there will never be any suspicion." Yue Qing said with a smile, "This is the backside of the silk and satin store, and the gate is already on another street. It will not link these two places together, it would be good for the young lady and the young masters to live here for the time being."

"Deacon Lao Le is bothering you." Su Hailing said with a smile.

Le Qing didn't dare to say anything, opened the door of the study again, and called in two fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls: "These two girls, with a faint fragrance and full sleeves, were trained in the palace, and there is no problem with their loyalty. They are also good at working hard, if you have anything to do, you can tell them to do it. Information about the situation in the capital has already been placed in the study, and if you want to read anything, let them find it."

"Deacon Le is very thoughtful." Su Hailing nodded, "Is there no one else in this house?"

"There is also a housekeeper named Hongsao." Le Qing replied, "Outsiders only know that Hongsao is the owner of this place. When they learned that the young lady is going to Beijing, Hongsao released the news two days ago, saying that a relative is coming to the door. Come on, Miss will not attract anyone's attention if she lives here."

Su Hailing couldn't help admiring secretly, the people Mei Junhan trained were really shrewd, everything was arranged and done properly, she didn't need to worry about it anymore.

"I'll go back to the shop first, so as not to arouse suspicion." Yue Qing smiled apologetically, and went back from the wall.

"Miss, do you want to rest first?" An Xiang stepped forward and asked with a smile.

"Qingchen, you are tired, let Mu Xin accompany you to sleep for a while." Su Hailing turned his head and said.

"En." Mu Qingchen responded.

"Dark fragrance." Su Hailing called out.

"Yes, young master, this way." An Xiang smiled and led the way ahead.

"What about you?" Su Hailing looked at Situ Ye again.

"Let me go out for a stroll." Situ Ye looked at the bright sunshine outside and smiled.

"Don't be recognized by others." Su Hailing frowned.

"Don't worry, I will change my appearance so that no one will recognize me." Situ Ye said, waved his hand, and walked straight out.

Su Hailing shook his head, knowing that he wanted to go home and have a look around, so he let him go, anyway, with the medical skills of evil doctors, disguise is not always a problem.

"What do you want to see first, Miss?" Ying Xiu asked obediently.

"Give me the documents of the ministers first." Su Hailing went to the desk and sat down.

"Yes." Yingxiu came to a row of bookshelves, skillfully removed a wooden box, took out a few volumes and put them on the table, "Miss, it's all here."

"En." Su Hailing picked up a copy and opened it, only to see that the neat and clean handwriting recorded Qin Xiang's life clearly.

Although Haiyue Villa has also developed to the north in the past two years, the capital is not an ordinary place after all, and excellent hidden stakes cannot be laid casually. On the contrary, it is not as good as Xuanming Palace. Although most of the power is in Southern Chu, the centuries-old sect However, the accumulated contacts are far from what Haiyue Villa, which was established in recent years, can compare with.

Ying Xiu stood quietly by the side, and did not speak without orders.

The early spring sun shone warmly through the window, and this cold winter was finally over.

Su Hailing looked at it for a while, and when he saw that it was written about the night banquet at Fenghexuan three years ago, he couldn't help but think of Haoyue again.

At this moment...he should be in the capital too, right?

And Murong Zi, I don't know what happened to the matter that she was asked to do. Now this is the place of Xuanming Palace, it is not convenient to contact her for the time being.After all, Murong Zi's loyalty has yet to be tested.
