Chapter 90: Queen's Palpitations (Subscription Request)
Inside the palace.
The prince received the Yunmeng fish sent by the queen. As for the lottery ticket, the queen would not give it to the prince. She could give him money directly, but she understood that if the prince received the lottery ticket, he would definitely plan to keep the first prize in his hands all year round. That would not be good as it would have a huge impact on Shen Qingzhou.
"My cousin is very generous to mother. He even sent someone to deliver such a rare treasure from thousands of miles away." Shen Qingzhou did not use the Ministry of War's expedited delivery of 800 miles. He had money and specially hired someone to deliver things to him 800 miles away, and the other party was very happy to do so.
"The Marquis of Shenwu is the most valuable guest of many merchants in Kyoto. Many people try their best to do things for him, as they can earn a lot of money.
I heard that a restaurant bought these fish from the southern lake for the Marquis of Shenwu, and sent them to the Marquis's residence in an emergency. They could earn at least five taels of silver for this one fish. "It doesn't sound high, but remember, it's just one fish, and you only brought one to Beijing?
The person who was speaking was a stunning beauty. Li Yunrui, looking at the fish, seemed to see a huge mountain of gold and silver. The income from lotteries was definitely not as good as that from the inner treasury, but lotteries were not used to make up for the national treasury. It could be said that the income from lotteries was entirely decided by the Six Gates or the Marquis of Shenwu alone.
"He doesn't feel wronged at all, nor is he afraid of being impeached by the censor again. There is no need to mention this matter again. I wonder if my aunt has any guesses about the assassination of Lin Gong." said the prince.
"Fan Xian is definitely involved in this matter." Li Yunrui naturally didn't know that Wu Zhu killed Lin Gong, but she couldn't hide it from her about who was involved. Originally, some things were planned by her. She was the real mastermind behind the Niulan Street assassination.
"Aunt, do you think this has anything to do with my cousin?"
"Marquis Shenwu, he must have known about Lin Gong's assassination, but because of the Queen, he naturally stood on the side of the Crown Prince, and there was no need to kill Lin Gong. The Crown Prince still suspected him."
"He once let Fan Xian enter the Six Gates to question Si Lili, and later Lin Gong was assassinated. Although this matter has a lot to do with Fan Xian, is it possible that he did it on purpose because of the conflict between him and the Fan family?" The prince did not finish his words, but the eldest princess quickly understood. He thought it would not be a frame-up.
"It is possible, but not very likely. Speaking of which, the Six Gates Palace is open, and the prince must go there," said the eldest princess.
"Of course I have to come forward to congratulate you. My cousin is young and frivolous. Alas." The prince felt uncomfortable when he thought that Shen Qingzhou might be demoted to the next position. They are all his own people.
The Six Gates were opened, and police chiefs from all over the country returned to Kyoto, which made all the major shops in the city very happy. It was as if they were local tycoons coming to the capital and they bought everything.
This is also normal. After all, Kyoto is the center of Qing Kingdom. There is no place comparable to it except Dongyi City and the Northern Qi Imperial Capital.
These captains of police were all wealthy men. They killed bandits and robbed their dens. Even if they had to pay tribute to the Marquis, they would keep quite a few of the loot for themselves.
Shen Qingzhou was paying attention to Fan Xian. He knew that he had entered the palace once, met Emperor Qing, and visited the Prime Minister's Residence, but nothing happened.
Shen Qingzhou was very curious. It turned out that nothing happened. It was just that Prime Minister Lin was not sure whether he knew about Lin Gong's attempt to assassinate him, and whether he had the motive to kill Lin Gong in return. He actually came out safely in this life. It seemed that there was another change.
In fact, it is very simple. Fan Xian is trying to pass the blame. He actually knows the murderer, but he won't say it. Instead, he puts the blame on Shen Qingzhou.
Even if there was a little doubt, Prime Minister Lin would not kill Fan Xian. He was a truly smart man. Even if he didn't know some things, he could still guess.
Just like before, he guessed that it was the grand master in the palace who killed Lin Gong, but he did nothing.
However, something happened in the middle of the process. The prince led his men straight to the Supervisory Office, wanting to bring the Northern Qi prisoners captured by the Supervisory Office. Originally, they were supposed to take Si Lili, but now Si Lili is in the Six Gates, so he naturally cannot go. This is to put the blame on Shen Qingzhou. Everyone knows that he and Shen Qingzhou are relatives, which makes people laugh at him.
It happened that the dean returned to Beijing. Shen Qingzhou knew that the prince was not an ordinary person, so he guessed that the prince did it on purpose. Lin Gong was his disciple, and when something happened, he must have an attitude.
A few days after these events, the opening of the Six Gates officially began.
The day when the Six Gates were opened.
"Greetings, distinguished guest." At the Marquis of Shenwu's mansion, the sky was slightly brighter, and there was a distinguished guest in the mansion, and the butler was welcoming him. "Where is Zhou'er?" The queen opened her cherry lips, and her black cloak covered her whole body, but the butler did not dare to neglect her, because this was a super distinguished guest.
"The Marquis is still sleeping." said the butler. The Marquis did not know that this person was coming. Logically, he should have informed him, but the Marquis said at that time that this distinguished guest was the only one who did not need to be notified.
"Take me to see him." The queen had a headache. How could you sleep through such a big event?
Of course Shen Qingzhou could sleep. For a grandmaster, apart from other grandmasters, is there anything else he needs to be cautious about?
"My lord, a distinguished person has arrived." Shen Qingzhou already knew when someone came into the yard. He really didn't want to greet him. Naturally, he knew how rare it was, and he also knew who could come here without notifying.
The queen came to Shen Qingzhou's mansion for the first time and looked at this unique courtyard. Apart from a weapon rack and the amazing hammer, which was Qingzhou's weapon, there was nothing else.
The queen thought that she should quickly find a wife for Shen Qingzhou, as it would be too monotonous to have someone in the courtyard.
Suddenly, the faces of the queen and her maids changed drastically. A white object fell from the sky. After it stood firm, they saw it was an extremely handsome white horse. But something was not right. The horse was definitely not in the courtyard just now.
When the white horse saw the queen, it suddenly rushed towards her. The housekeeper was anxious because the horse usually ignored people.
"Bailong, don't scare your aunt." Suddenly, there was one more person in the yard. The queen, who was still in shock, felt like she was in a warm embrace.
Looking up, he felt relieved. Shen Qingzhou was helpless. He was not wearing a coat. If Bailong had not suddenly taken action, he would not be like this.
"I've met the young master."
"Aunt, don't be afraid. This horse is called Bailong. It is probably because it often smells your scent, so it is quite excited." Shen Qingzhou explained.
Shen Qingzhou has already made preparations. If he is forced to leave in the future, Bai Long will definitely break into the palace and take the queen away, and his breath must be remembered.
Nowadays, the only one who can ride the white dragon is the Queen, and Si Lili can only witness it once.
"You wait and help the young master change his clothes." The queen directly instructed the palace maids. She came this time because it was Shen Qingzhou's big day and she had to be there. It was inconvenient for her to go to the scene, so she came directly to the Shenwu Marquis' Mansion.
"Yes."
The white dragon ran and jumped away, and in front of the queen, he jumped directly onto the wall and ran on the wall, which was truly surprising.
Shen Qingzhou really needs help with his clothes today, he's wearing formal attire today.
The queen was waiting in the hall. Shen Qingzhou was not there at the moment. She looked expressionless, but her heart was beating fast.
What does Zhou'er mean? Why can his mount often smell his scent? He and Shen Qingzhou don't see each other every day.
She was thinking in the wrong direction. Could it be that her son's feelings for his aunt were reappearing at this moment? He also called her aunt.
