Chapter 375 (1/2)



375 Xu Qi ‘an, I made a contribution again (2)

Xu Qi ‘an laughed along, but he sighed in his heart.

He’d planned to pretend he didn’t know anything and leave jingxiu Palace first. Then, he’d tell Wei Yuan what he’d found so that he could capture lang ‘er as quickly as possible and catch noble Consort Chen off guard.

But because of the relationship with Lin ‘an, he inevitably hesitated. Although he calmed down, he would not hesitate to expose noble Consort Chen.

Unexpectedly, noble Consort Chen’s rank was not low. It could be expected that as soon as he left, lang ‘er would die of illness. In this way, noble Consort Chen would no longer have any flaws.

“Noble Consort Chen is a qualified consort … Lin an is such a stupid girl, one do not know if it is a blessing or a curse to grow up in the palace.”

Recalling noble Consort Chen’s earlier operation, she was indeed astute and called him over to test him regardless of the consequences. In the end, she really did find out.

Her subsequent honest words seemed to be sincere, but in fact, she was fearless, because she knew that as long as she got rid of lang ‘er, she would be flawless, and Xu Qi’ an would not be able to take lang ‘er away unless he wanted to die.

Since he had already been discovered, he might as well be more generous and say it out loud. He could even win my trust … Then. he threw out a beautiful girl as bait. If I was a lecherous person, I might have taken the bait …

With monk Shen Shu’s protection, I might not die on the spot, but I’ll also expose myself. Emperor Yuan jing, that dog, will definitely seal me in sang po. The outcome will still be the same, and I’ll die with him.

After leaving jingxiu Palace, Xu Qi ‘an declined the invitation to play Gomoku, saying that he still had important matters to deal with.

young eunuch, I have finished dealing with the matters in the palace. Later, when you report to the Emperor, there are some things that can be said and some that can not be said. I will give you a few words of advice. Xu Qi ‘an said in a deep voice.

The young eunuch put on a serious expression. Lord Xu, please speak.

“You have to tell the Emperor everything about the jingxiu Palace. “You have to put it this way: after asking the beautiful scenery Palace’s maid lang ‘er, Lord Xu’s expression was extremely unsightly, as if he did not want to stay any longer. He did not even drink his tea.

“But before Lord Xu could leave jingxiu Palace, she was suddenly asked to stay by the Imperial consort and was invited to the rear courtyard … The Imperial consort dismissed everyone and spoke to Lord Xu for a long time in the room. The servant was left in the courtyard and was not allowed to enter. Although he could see the two people in the room, he could not hear what they were talking about.

“The conversation is over. Lord Xu has left the palace with a heavy heart.”

After Xu Qi ‘an finished speaking, he took out five silver notes from his pocket, as well as the five silver taels he had extorted from the eunuch guarding the jingxiu palace gate, making a total of ten silver taels. He handed them to the young eunuch without any anger.

The little eunuch opened his arms and waved his hand,”Lord Xu, please don’t.”

After keeping the silver, he carefully thought over Xu Qi ‘an’s words. He felt that there was not much of a problem, so he nodded.”Alright, this servant will do as you say.”

Xu Qi ‘an immediately left the palace. He borrowed huaiqing’s horse from the palace guards and galloped back to the watchman’s office.

After being informed by the guard, he entered the noble spirit building and came to the tea room on the seventh floor.

Wei Yuan wasn’t in the tea room. Instead, he was on the observation deck. He was sitting on a large chair with his hair down. A black-robed official was combing his hair.

Wei Yuan waved his hand. come here and help me comb my hair.

The clerk in black handed the comb to Xu Qi ‘an and left the tea room.

“Duke of Wei, why are you combing your hair at this time?”

Xu Qi ‘an held the comb and combed her hair from head to toe without any knots. She thought to herself, ” it’s quite light.

“In Buddhism, hair means the strand of worry.” Wei Yuan was basking in the sunlight. He squinted his eyes and said gently, ”

“Comb your hair, and the past will be written off.”

What did that mean?

Wei Yuan was acting a little strange today. What did he mean by writing off the past?

“There’s no point in combing hair. I’ll give you a massage.” Xu Qi ‘an said.

“I’ll try!” Wei Yuan laughed.

Xu Qi ‘an put the comb in her arms, spread her fingers, and pressed on Wei Yuan’s head, gently pressing on his acupuncture points.

Wei Yuan’s breathing gradually slowed down. The warm sun shone on the two of them. The scenery was beautiful. Xu Qi ‘an squinted as he looked out. He felt like he had returned to the human world, far away from the infighting in the palace.

“Not bad.” Wei Yuan laughed.

Of course, this is the magical skill of the barbershop. I’ll make you a hair washing chair later … “I have something to report,” Xu Qi ‘an coughed and said.

“Speak,” he said.
