The snow on Laojun Mountain is getting heavier and heavier, and it is too dangerous to go down the mountain overnight.

Lu Chen and Qiao Jinniang rested in the side room for the night.

There was no spare room in the wing of the Taoist temple, so the chamberlains and guards who did not need to keep vigil went to the homes of nearby villagers.

Gu Ming walked for a while and saw a magnificent palace-like residence.

It is really strange to have such a mansion in the deep mountains.

Gu Ming knocked on the door, and the person who opened the door was a beautiful woman dressed like a fairy.

Gu Ming said: "We followed the master to the Laojun Temple to offer incense. There is no spare room in Laojun Temple. Is it possible to come to your place to stay for one night? We and our group must be very grateful."

"I'm sorry, my master has an eccentric temperament and has never been willing to meet outsiders. There is a village not far from here, where many pilgrims who come to offer incense stay. Why don't you go to the village and ask around?"

Gu Ming said: "Okay, thank you very much, girl."

After the beautiful girl closed the door tightly, Gu Ming ordered the secret guard: "Go and find out the origin of the master here."

There is no guarantee that there is nothing fishy about building such a large garden mansion in the deep mountains. It may be a villa where some prince talks about things.

The next morning.

I was woken up early in the morning by the sound of Taoist priests practicing.

After Qiao Jinniang woke up, she freshened up and went outside to watch the Taoist priests practicing. They were all wearing only thin Taoist robes, which made Qiao Jinniang feel a chill.

Lu Chen came over and put the big cloak on her body and said, "Last night there was heavy snow and the road was blocked. The guards have already gone to the snow path. I'm afraid they won't have to leave until tomorrow."

Qiao Jinniang said: "Okay."

It is inevitable that the mountains will be closed due to heavy snowfall.

From afar, Qiao Jinniang smelled a scent that was both stinky and fragrant. She heard that Qian Yi had taken a bath all night yesterday, but she probably hadn't been able to wash away the filthy stench from his body.

This is also deserved.

Gu Ming hurried over and said to Lu Chen: "Your Highness, I finally found the layman Qiuyue who wrote the forbidden book."

Qiao Jinniang heard layman Qiuyue say: "Where is she? Her writing style is neat and her words are unexpected. I must pay her a visit."

Lu Chen frowned: "Why are you visiting? She fabricated that Gu and Zhou Siming are in love with Long Yang, and she also wrote about the affairs of such men and women. It is a banned book, and it will be easier for her to go to jail."

Qiao Jinniang said: "The stories she writes are harmless. Nowadays, most of them are talented people and beautiful women. Her stories are very strange. She is not allowed to go to jail."

Lu Chen asked Gu Ming, "Where is she?"

Gu Ming replied: "Not far from Laojun Temple, she is hiding in the mountains. It turns out that her notebooks were printed by herself in the mountains. No wonder there are so many bookkeepers and government officials. She has never been found.”

"In that case, let's go and take a look." Qiao Jinniang said, "It's a pity that I didn't bring those books with me, otherwise I would have asked layman Qiuyue to give me a private seal!"

Lu Chen said: "Don't worry, when she goes to jail, it will be time to give you a seal."

"Don't." Qiao Jinniang said, "You can't burn bridges across rivers. Didn't you read it with relish? Qiuyue layman didn't write anything about plotting to usurp the throne."

Qiao Jinniang and Lu Chen arrived at Qiu Yuezhai. After knocking on the door, a maid came to open the door.

When the maid saw Gu Ming, she said, "Didn't I tell you yesterday that my master is reclusive by nature and doesn't see guests?"

Qiao Jinniang stepped forward and said, "I have read every volume of Master Qiuyue's masterpieces. I learned that Master Qiuyue lives here, so I came here to visit."

The maid frowned and said, "There is no Qiuyue layman here!"

Just as the maid was about to close the door, Lu Chen ordered the guards to open the door and said: "Jiu Qiuyue wrote more than ten forbidden books, and also wrote a story book about Long Yang's good stories based on Gu and Zhou Siming. His crime is unforgivable.”

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, he saw a petite woman coming in a hurry and knelt down and said: "My lord, your highness, your highness, I never used you as a prototype when I wrote. I already know that I was wrong." , Please, Your Highness, please don’t remember the faults of villains. There are seniors and juniors in my family, so I really can’t go to jail!”

Qiao Jinniang looked at the kneeling woman below and said, "So you are a woman?"

Qiu Yue nodded and said, "Yes, it's hard for a woman in this world to work, so I make a living by writing some storybooks."

"It's hard to buy a storybook for ten taels of silver, and you still make money to live. The jade in your courtyard is like flowers, and the corals are like fake trees. Even the fairyland is not so luxurious." Lu Chen said, "Come on. People, take her away and seize all the banned books."

Qiao Jinniang repeatedly advised: "Don't. At the worst, let her donate the money she earned from banned books to those lonely and widowed old women. She only looks about seventeen or eighteen years old."

Qiu Yue kowtowed to Qiao Jinniang repeatedly, "Thank you, Madam, for your mercy. I will definitely repay Madam well in the future."

Seeing Qiao Jinniang, Lu Chen defended her with determination: "You can no longer write banned books in the future."

"Yes, I am sure. I will write a storybook in the future and let His Highness have a look first."

Qiao Jinniang said happily: "It's a good relationship. It's hard to buy one of your books for ten taels of silver on the black market, so that's a deal."

Qiu Yue said continuously: "Since you two have come to the humble house, please come inside. I will prepare a small amount of wine to entertain you and the military masters."

Qiao Jinniang entered the house all the way and felt that it was too much to call it a humble residence. She thought that the East Palace was considered a luxury, but it was a bit inferior compared to the luxurious residence of Qiuyue layman.

There is gold foil on the jade floor, and a layer of gold powder is stained on the shoes as soon as you take a step.

The porcelain cups for serving tea are rare craftsmanship.

Even the tea is the rare Yuqian Longjing in Lin'an.

Looking out of the window, there was a lake in the mountain. Qiao Jinniang smiled and said, "The life here of Qiuyue layman is better than that of the gods."

Qiu Yue smiled and said: "I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it."

Qiu Yue poured good wine for Lu Jing and Qiao Jinniang.

Qiao Jinniang said as soon as she smelled it: "This wine smells mellow and strong. It is a rare and good wine."

Qiu Yue said: "It's just a small amount of wine. Madam would like to give you a jar when the time comes."

Qiao Jinniang saw a stack of white paper lying next to the wine table and said, "This is your new storybook, maybe you can show it to me?"

Qiu Yue offered her hands repeatedly, her hands shaking nervously.

Qiao Jinniang flipped through some and saw a line of poetry in it. Qiu Yue crossed out one line and then changed it, "Here you wrote that things are right and people are not the same, everything is done. If you want to speak, the tears will flow first. Why cross it out?"

Qiu Yue said: "I felt that this poem was inappropriate, so I crossed it out."

"This is a good poem, and it is most appropriate to use it here. It is quoted so well, it would be a pity to cross it out." Qiao Jinniang said, "It is better to use it."

Qiu Yue whispered: "This is absolutely impossible."

"Why?" Qiao Jinniang asked curiously.

Qiu Yue looked embarrassed and said: "It's just that you can't use left and right. This is not a poem written by me, so naturally it can't be used."

Qiao Jinniang said: "But in your previous script, you also wrote a lot of poems written by others, so why can't you use this sentence?"

Qiu Yue didn't know how to explain it and was very embarrassed.

Lu Chen glanced at Qiu Yue with sharp eyes and said, "The Crown Princess defended you, but you still want to hide something? It seems you still want to go to jail?"

Qiu Yue knelt on the ground with a thud, "Your Highness, I, I didn't hide it on purpose, I..."

Qiu Yue was so frightened that she fainted.

Qiao Jinniang couldn't help but complain to Lu Chen: "Why are you scaring her?"

Qiu Yue's maid repeatedly asked a Taoist priest from the Taoist temple who had medical skills to give Qiu Yue two injections. Then she slowly woke up and saw Qiao Jinniang standing beside her bed.

His voice was gentle: "Don't be afraid. His Highness is just scaring you. Do you have anything to hide? Why don't you just say it? His Highness will think you have something to hide and will put you in prison."

Qiu Yue said slowly: "If I tell the truth, you and the prince would not believe it either."

"I believe it."

Qiu Yue said: "I wonder if the Crown Princess has read the book I wrote about Destiny of Rebirth."

Qiao Jinniang said: "I've seen it. It was a woman's soul that came back to another woman through a corpse."

Qiu Yue pursed her lips and said: "Although this matter is extremely ridiculous, it did happen to me. I came from a different world. After I came here, I was somewhat similar to the world I lived in thousands of years ago. However, There are some differences too.

Some people from thousands of years ago are here, and some are not.

The sentence just now, "Things are different and people are different, everything has to stop, I want to shed tears before I want to speak" was written by an ancient person in my original world who was known as the most talented woman in a thousand years.

I wonder if this talented woman will be born hundreds of years later?

But I absolutely dare not use her poems or take her name. As a writer, what I hate most is others stealing my own hard work. Therefore, I will never steal other people's hard work. "
