Queen Flower

After a moment of silence, Jiang Lan got up and looked outside the door, listened carefully to the noise outside, and returned to the bed.

"I'm going to trouble you for one night today." Jiang Lan lifted the quilt and lay down. There was nothing he could do. Now he had a letter and two patriarch orders. Immediately it will be found that she is the thief, and she can't keep things, and she is not his opponent. The safest way is to stay by Xia Henqiu's side, and let them not dare to attack even if they are suspicious. Perhaps, they can completely remove her suspicion.

Xia Henqiu nodded, this is safer, he can rest assured, but...

"Sleep in peace, I'll think about it again." Xia Henqiu sat on the chair and didn't move.

Jiang Lan didn't speak anymore. These days, his mind was heavy and he hadn't had a good rest. He suffered a little internal injury today, so he fell asleep quickly.

In the dim night, the moonlight is light and picturesque, and there is only the slight breathing of the person on the bed.

Xia Henqiu sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the woman who had fallen asleep. She seemed very tired, so she fell asleep very quickly, and she trusted him so much that she fell asleep peacefully in his room, on his bed, and under his quilt. .

There seemed to be a faint fragrance of lotus seeds in the air. He stretched out his hand to touch her face, but suddenly stopped when he was only an inch away. His fingers traced her outline through the air, and then withdrew his hand. Resolutely turned around.

The early morning light opened the dark sky, and soon the sky brightened.

Jiang Lan got up from the bed and saw Xia Henqiu sitting on a chair with a book in his hand. When he saw that she was awake, he put down the scroll and stood up, walked in front of her, and checked her pulse. It was okay, he was conditioned in time yesterday, and there was nothing serious.

Jiang Lan didn't know whether he sat all night or got up very early. Just as she was about to ask him, the door was opened.

When Xia Zi heard the sound inside, she came in and waited for Xia Henqiu to get up. When she opened the door, she saw Jiang Lan who was half lying on the bed. Xia Henqiu's hand was still on her wrist.

Xia Zi really felt that his eyes were blind for a while, or he was blind. He had followed Xia Henqiu for so many years, and he had never seen such a scene. There was actually a woman on the bed of his master, who seemed to be wearing his clothes, and this woman was Chu Qingcheng's wife.

Xia Zi almost knocked over the kettle in his hand, he couldn't accept such a scene anyway, he glared at Jiang Lan with contempt and disdain, and closed the door with his hand.

Jiang Lan looked at the angry Xia Zi, and didn't know what to say. This idiot, let him misunderstand to the end, so that it looks more like it. So she didn't say anything, got up from the bed naturally, even smiled at him, then left and went back to her room to change clothes.

"Young Master." Xia Zi set out the toiletries and glanced at Xia Henqiu resentfully. How could he do such a thing, he couldn't understand anyway, there are so many beautiful people, how could he like such a person.

Xia Henqiu covered his face with the towel, and then threw it in the washbasin. The water splashed Xia Zi, and he said lightly, "Don't think about it, it's not what you see."

"How is it out there?" he asked.

"Last night, there was a thief in the mansion. It seems that he stole something and set the house on fire, ruthless." Xia Zi said cheerfully, "It is said that the search was unsuccessful all night, and I don't know what valuables were missing. Today's atmosphere in the mansion Very depressing."

When Jiang Lan returned to Xia Henqiu, the servant also brought breakfast.

Although the servants did not speak, they looked nervous, and they seemed to be infected by the atmosphere of the whole house, and they all felt a little trembling.

For Jiang Lan, things have already been obtained, and now it is best to leave the Shen residence, but how can they leave smoothly without being suspected?

At this time, someone suddenly came in to spread the word, saying that there was an imperial decree, and Xuan Xiahenqiu received the decree.

Xia Henqiu immediately changed clothes and set off, and went to the front hall to receive the order.

When he came back, Jiang Lan knew that it was time to leave the residence, and she had been unlucky for so long, and the **** of luck finally began to favor her.

The emperor was grateful for Xia Henqiu's usual merits, and this time he made a good contribution to the country. He bowed to the essence of the country to the point of physical and mental strain, so he rushed five hundred miles and announced that Xia Henqiu was reinstated as a prime minister. Then go to Beijing to report work.

Jiang Lan felt great peace in her heart, not only because of the change of identity, it would be difficult for Shen Qun to take action even if she doubted her, but also because, with Xia Henqiu's identity as the prime minister, he could finally handle the case.

Xia Henqiu has recovered from his illness, so he replied to the person who declared the decree, thanking the saint for his kindness, and will return to Beijing immediately in the future. For a time, the Shen residence was crowded, and all the officials came to celebrate and shoot horses, and Xia Henqiu immediately decided to host a banquet at Liuxianju to entertain the local officials, thanking them for helping him when he was sick.

A group of people went out to Liuxianju, accompanied by Xia Zi and Jiang Lan.

Xia Zi waited by his side, and Jiang Lan took advantage of the name of Cai to have a secret conversation with Shopkeeper Luo.

"Find a person with strong body and go to the yamen to complain about grievances, saying that in order to get the Chu style, someone planned to murder Chu Qingcheng, the master of the Chu style, to make the matter a little bigger and let everyone know." Jiang Lan instructed the shopkeeper Luo, according to the ancient example , the people suing the officials are going to hit 30 big boards first. I don't know whether it is necessary to insinuate the suing, so let's be safe before talking about it.

Shopkeeper Luo immediately wrote down two copies of the letter and sent someone to do it according to the order.

Xia Henqiu's banquet was not over at this time, and a Chu-style complaint came from the yamen. The case has not yet been heard, and the common people already know everything. Xia Henqiu pleaded guilty and left.

Before he could say anything, shopkeeper Luo came in, knelt on the ground with a paper in his hand, and shouted his grievances, and the scene suddenly became embarrassing.

The matter involved Chu Qingcheng and Shen Qun, and Shen Qun on the side was very embarrassed.

It was as if Xia Henqiu heard about this case for the first time, and he seemed very puzzled, "People are angry? It turns out that the boss of the first business in the Celestial Dynasty is Lord Shen's in-law. It's not easy for Lord Shen to come forward in this matter, why don't I help you? Well. That's it for today, sorry everyone."

The officials were all flattering. If it wasn't for this accident, there would be no chance of him being able to sit on the same seat as the first-rank slaughter. He was a big celebrity in front of the emperor. Even if he stayed away from the capital for a year, he would not go back in the end. It can be seen that it is right not to be offended that day, otherwise, even if you want to flatter you now, you will not be able to find a horse to shoot. If he can get his support, it will be stronger than his ten years of hard work.

"Master Xia really serves the country and the people, bowing down to the essence, and he is indeed a role model for everyone."

"I heard that your lord judges the case like a god, and the lower officials admire it."

...

Everyone left, the banquet was over, and Xia Henqiu, Zhou County magistrate, and Shen Qun immediately set off for the yamen.
