Chapter 79 Outer Room

It was a quiet night, and in the Hailing Palace and Orchid Garden, two standing figures were reflected on the window paper.

In front of Ruan Meiniang, a tall and muscular man in black stood respectfully with his mask half removed.

This person is none other than Ruan Hong, who failed to assassinate Gu Mingshu before.

"What happened last time...if not for the Emperor Ye who came out halfway to save her, it would have been impossible for her to miss."

Ruan Meiniang told Qin Yue that Ruan Hong was her brother, but this was not the case. His respectful and fearful attitude made it clear that he was Ruan Meiniang's subordinate!

"That's enough!" Ruan Meiniang's eyes were full of anger and her aura was overwhelming. She didn't show any signs of weakness in front of Qin Yue. "I only look at the results and don't listen to the process. If I fail, I will fail."

"My lord, please calm down and I will admit my guilt." Ruan Hong did not dare to defend himself and bowed to apologize. "My lord, what is your mission when you summon your subordinates this time?"

Ruan Meiniang's cold eyes were frosty and her breath was heavy, showing that she was extremely troubled.

"I want you to sneak into Xishan Temple and tamper with Princess Chu's medicinal diet. Remember, you must do it without leaving any trace and no one can find it out. If it makes trouble like last time, come to see her yourself." She said.

His tone was cold and his eyes were fierce.

Ruan Hong frowned and said with a troubled expression, "Xishan Temple is closely guarded, I'm afraid... it won't be easy."

Ruan Meiniang said harshly: "Did I call you here to report the problem? I asked you to solve the problem."

Ruan Hong lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.

Ruan Meiniang said: "Chu Jiyao is not recuperating in Xishan Temple, but is being imprisoned. The guards are naturally very tight. You must find a way to prevent Princess Chu's medicinal diet from going wrong."

Ruan Hong frowned and gritted his teeth in thought. He couldn't think of a solution for a while and could only respond in silence.

Ruan Meiniang glanced at him coldly with disgust, "If you can't get in, won't you start from the outside?"

Ruan Hong hurriedly cupped his hands and clasped his fists, "This subordinate is not talented, please let me know clearly from my master."

Ruan Meiniang moved slightly, picked off a piece of orchid grass leaf, and said quietly: "Even if the ingredients can be supplied in Xishan Temple, the medicine she uses must be purchased from outside."

Ruan Hong raised his brows and already realized what he was saying: "I understand, my master. Please wait for the good news."

After Ruan Meiniang gave some more stern instructions, Ruan Hong stepped out of the window, jumped into the air, easily crossed the wall, and disappeared into the night.

Also disappearing into the night was another person coming out of Prince Hailing's palace.

The person was wearing a black cloak, her face could not be seen clearly, her figure was quite charming, and she looked like a woman.

She was in a hurry and was cautious all the way. When the street forked, she would secretly turn around to see if anyone was following her and make sure she was safe before trotting forward.

The woman had a black cloth bag hanging on her shoulders, which seemed a little heavy. During the journey, her hands kept holding the cloth bag tightly, which showed that there was something valuable inside.

When she arrived at Xinrong Pawn Shop, she looked back and saw that there was no one around. Then she raised her hand and knocked on the door of the pawn shop, quickly stepped in, and the door creaked shut.

After a while, the door opened and the woman came out. The black cloth bag looked more bulging than before.

After leaving the pawnshop, she did not return to Hailing Palace, but went to Tongjifang.

She didn't realize that after she came out of the pawn shop, someone had quietly followed her in the night not far away from her. This person was light and light, leaving no trace in the sand, and he was as erratic as a god.

After twists and turns, the woman finally entered a small courtyard that was relatively remote but elegantly decorated.

After she knocked on the courtyard door and entered, she was immediately hugged by a man. She turned around and pushed the door shut with her waist and hips.

The man held her waist tightly and moved towards her with his mouth dishonestly, like a hungry wolf.

"Why did you come here? You miss me so much."

The woman pushed him and tried to refuse but then welcomed him, "That's Prince Hailing's Mansion. You thought it was a farmhouse. Wait for a while and let's talk about business first."

The man still didn't restrain himself. He said love words and pulled her into the inner room.

After entering the house, the woman took off the black veil on her head and saw clearly that she was Yun Qianxue, the concubine of the late king of Hailing Palace.

Holding her waist was her lover Qu Ming. He had a face like a crown of jade, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a tall and tall figure. He was very good-looking.

Yun Qianxue put the cloth bag on the table, held Qu Ming's hands in her hands, and asked with a frown: "Why, why do you have to take the imperial examination for a good person?"

Qu Ming looked at Yun Qianxue dotingly and said sternly: "As a man, I should get a good name in my life. I don't want to be famous forever, but I want to return to my hometown in glory."

Yun Qianxue suddenly turned cold when she heard this: "Returning to your hometown? You eat and use me, and now that your wings are hardened, do you want to return to your hometown?" She slammed his hand away, "Qu Ming, I tell you, you are dreaming!

I can..."

"Xue'er, Xue'er, listen to me!" Qu Ming held her hand anxiously, "It's not what you think. I was thinking that we can't continue like this in the future. I want to marry you, but

I can’t teach you to live a hard life with me.”

Yun Qianxue's expression softened slightly when he heard this: "That's about the same. We have a lot of money, how can we live a hard life? Don't worry so much. Look at Qin Yue, whose literary and martial arts talents are rare in the world, but as a result, he is not idle at home now."

Over the years, she has indeed made a lot of money from the Hailing Prince's Mansion. It is probably no problem for the two of them to live in fine clothes and live well for the rest of their lives.

"But he is the King of Hailing now. He also has power." Qu Ming sighed: "If you have money but no power, you will eventually be looked down upon by others. If you have too much money, you might suddenly be accused of unwarranted charges.

The house was ransacked."

Qu Ming pulled Yun Qianxue closer to him and said sincerely: "I want to give you stable happiness and a status, but how can I keep letting you support me? Believe me, wait for me

Once you are admitted to the Imperial College and gain fame, I will take you out of the capital and fly far away. At that time, whether you want me to be a good official and benefit the people, or whether you want to go sailing with me, I will listen to you."

In Yun Qianxue's mind, two images appeared at the same time: she and Qu Ming, living in a high-rise courtyard with fine clothes and fine food, and full of children and grandchildren; they were riding horses in the rivers and lakes, becoming a couple of gods and gods who did not care about the world.

She looks forward to the freedom of being free in the world, but she is still a little afraid. After all, she is reluctant to wear gold and silver and travel in carriages and horses.

Yun Qianxue leaned beside Qu Ming and said coquettishly: "It's all your fault that you spent all your money on land and still bought it so far away. Now it's better. I want to smoothen the relationship and get a job, but I can't get the money."

Qu Ming held her hand in his arms and said, "Xue'er, this is also for our future planning. If you don't buy it farther away, why don't you buy it next door to Prince Hailing's Mansion?"

Yun Qianxue turned him around and snorted: "You're not serious! If I can't come up with the money, what will you do?"

Qu Ming tightened his hands and said with a smile: "I made a miscalculation, but you are the steward of the Hailing Palace, how can you not be able to come up with this small amount of money? You are my support, I will always believe in you

Your intelligence and abilities."

Yun Qianxue got angry when she mentioned the power of management, "Don't mention it. Ever since Gu Mingshu married into the Hailing Palace, my aunt asked me to hand over the power of management to her. Now I have to look at her face to eat good food."

Qu Ming looked surprised, "Wasn't the princess neglected by King Hailing? On the day of the wedding, the concubine who was a geisha in a brothel stole the spotlight from the main concubine. This caused a sensation in the capital. Does your old concubine like her?"

"It doesn't mean she likes her. My aunt originally wanted to make things difficult for her, but who would have thought that that damn girl quickly became more organized after causing such a fuss in Prince Hailing's palace." Yun Qianxue became more and more angry as she spoke.

Qu Ming raised his eyebrows and comforted him with a smile, "You're just a junior, how dare you bully my Xue'er like this. I'll take you away when I gain fame. From now on, it will be a long journey. Out of sight, out of mind."

"How long will it take?" Yun Qianxue's mouth was cold, but her heart was warm, looking forward to the future.

"After entering the Imperial College, I will definitely study diligently. When you are nominated on the list in the next spring, I will ask an official to take you away. Don't worry, I will take you to live a happy life soon."

Qu Ming's blowing and comforting words made Yun Qianxue happy, and she no longer refused, and finally she was willing to be intimate with him.

When the clouds stopped and the rain stopped, Yun Qianxue put on her clothes and headgear, left a black cloth bag, and left in a hurry.

Qu Ming did not give her a gift, but bare his chest, opened the cloth bag and looked at it. He curled up his lips and smiled evilly, "What an easy woman to coax! With so much money, I can show off my talents again."
