"Rebirth: The Prosperous Male Concubine"

Chapter 55

  There is a small river running through the palace in the other side of the palace. The river is not too wide, and the water is just below the knees. It is such a small river that does not seem to be special. There are countless red lotuses. At this time, a young girl was picking here and wanted to go back and make sachets. When they saw Qi Guanhan coming, they also saluted, being well-behaved and sensible.

Qi Guanhan explained: "These are the next generation in the palace, some are my same generation, and some are my juniors. Mothers were all bullied by people with heartless hearts, and then entered my palace on the other side. Our palace on the other side did not prohibit it. When women give birth, they are not prohibited from interacting with men outside. There is only one thing. After they are married, they will never come back, and they are not allowed to let others know the location of the other side of the palace. At present, there are very few girls who have married, and they have followed the agreement and never came back. That's why the other side palace can always be this safe."

Jiang Yi smiled and said: "For women, this is really a safe haven."

Qi Guanhan said: "Not necessarily, there are many in the next generation who do not understand the painstaking efforts of their mothers. , Those who do not want to stay in the other side palace, especially men, my adoptive mother will let them go, but they are still not allowed to come back. And all women who enter the other side palace must also check their character and morality, if they are not good, No matter how miserable it is, I will not accept it."

Jiang Yi nodded, "The other side of the palace can have such a large scale today, and what kind of people should be taken in, it is natural to consider carefully. After all, as the palace owner, I have to be responsible for all the women in the other side of the palace. You can't let people destroy their homes."

Qi Guanhan smiled, "That's the reason."

The girls picked two or three flowers and stopped taking them. After retiring, they left together with a smile.

Qi Guanhan said: "Although there are many red lotuses, the women in the palace cherish them very much. So generally, if you have collected the required quantity, you won't take any more. But if you make a sachet, you can fragrant it for more than a year, which is a saving. Yes. "

Song Qi touched the flowers and smiled, "If you know how to cherish them, you can last a long time. It can be seen that these girls are of good character."

"Yeah." Qi Guanhan said, "Brother Song can just pick at will, you don't have to be too polite."

"Okay." Song Qi responded and went to pick.

He didn't pick the flowers directly, but took out some pieces of paper with a faint medicinal smell from his purse. Two plants were then dug up with a dagger, and the roots were covered with paper.

Qi Guanhan had never seen such a practice before, so he asked, "Brother Song, is this going to be transplanted?"

"Yes, I want to plant it in King Xiang's mansion." Song Qi did not hide it.

Qi Guanhan said: "It is very likely that it will not survive."

After all, this flower can only grow in the palace on the other side.

Song Qi said: "Well, but I still want to try it. This medicinal paper can preserve the original soil and water of the flower plant, so it shouldn't be a problem to send it to Beijing. I will try it when I plant it."

Since Song Qi wanted to try it, Qi Guanhan also Don't say anything, maybe Song Qi has his own way?

After wrapping the flowers, a few people went back. Qi Guanhan also ordered a whole bottle of Red Lotus Pill to take to Zengjia Village tomorrow.

After dinner, several people went back and arranged to rest in the courtyard.

Jiang Yi found out that his brother actually lived in Qi Guanhan's courtyard. In fact, he also felt that the relationship between his brother and Qi Guanhan seemed to be a little too good. After all, they had only known each other for a short time. Qi Guanhan regarded his brother as a savior, and it was normal to treat each other warmly, but his brother had always been a slow and warm person. You won't be so familiar with people so quickly.

But Jiang Yi was still happy that his brother could make a new friend. In the future, many people will take care of it, and it is also the famous Bi'an Palace, which is also beneficial and harmless.

After breakfast the next day, the group went to Zengjia Village. After feeding the antidote to the villagers, the villagers also woke up one by one, and thanked the prince for his life-saving grace.

However, Feng Qin and Feng Ye didn't accept this ceremony, and instead quietly pushed Qi Guanhan to the front and let him be honored by the villagers, which is justifiable.

The prefect gathered a few people who could explain the vernacular and asked them to explain the situation to Fengye and Feng Qin.

It turned out that before they were attacked, a group of ten people came to the village, saying that they were from the Jingzhong caravan and came here. To buy tea, you have to live in the village for a few days. This is a common occurrence, and several families in the village have also vacated their rooms to entertain, and everything is normal. On the day of the accident, they got up early to eat as usual, and went up the mountain to make soil for the tea trees when they were ready to eat, but before the meal was finished, those few people broke in, and without a word, fed the white worm to them. They are all tea farmers. Usually people fight against each other, but they can handle it, but compared with people who know martial arts, they are simply swordsmen, and they are fish and meat.

They don't remember what happened after that, and it was scary in retrospect until I woke up today.

"Do you have any clues for those fake businessmen?" Feng Ye asked.

One of the shorter men said: "Wang... Wangye, the night before the first day, I happened to hear that they seemed to be saying something we couldn't understand, not like our Dasheng words, I was still thinking, the people in Beijing People are knowledgeable and can say anything from other countries."

Feng Ye nodded, not caring that he was not respectful enough.

The Huo cult originated in a foreign country, and it is normal to speak other languages.

Li Zheng said: "My lord, I saw Caomin walking up the mountain a few times before. I thought they were looking for game, but they fed us poison that day and the people who broke into Caomin's house have never met Caomin. Could it be that they still have someone to meet them in the mountains?"

Although he is old here, his mind is clear.

Feng Qin asked, "Is that the mountain in the east?"

That mountain is the one that leads to the other side palace.

"Yes." Li Zheng replied.

This is equivalent to confirming the previous guess, the fire cult should be directed at the location of the other side palace this time.

Feng Qin immediately said to the prefect: "Organize troops and search the mountains!"

"Yes!" After the prefect responded, he hurriedly called for someone.

Half an hour later, all the officers and soldiers of Shifeng went up the mountain to search, taking the sound of arrows as their letter.

The mountain road was difficult, so Feng Qin didn't let Jiang Yi go, so Jiang Yi stayed in Zeng's village with Jiuyi who came down the mountain with him, and asked about Zeng's affairs by the way.

Jiuyi is a kind-hearted woman who is going door to door to check on the recovery.

Jiang Yi stayed at Li Zheng's house, where Li Zheng served tea.

Jiang Yi knew that this was a clear-headed person, and said, "We are here on an edict to pick up a tea-picker from the Zeng family as a concubine."

"Ah?" Li Zheng looked surprised, "Wang Wang Your Highness, I don't know which one the emperor wants to pick up? None of the girls in our Zeng family have ever been out of Shifeng, so why would the emperor choose girls from our village?"

Hearing Li Zheng's words, he seemed not to know. Jiang Yi said, "It's not a special choice, it's this Zeng family who had several encounters with the emperor many years ago."

"Oh? Caomin has never heard of it." Li Zheng had a blank expression on his face.

Jiang Yi couldn't help but wonder, isn't it a girl from Zengjia Village?

"Then did the girls from your village disappear for a few days and come back for no reason, or are they unmarried and have children?"

Li Zheng thought about it for a long time, and suddenly said: "There is such a person, called Zeng Yuner. This Zeng Yuner is also pitiful, her old parents died when she was twelve years old, leaving only her and her brother. His brother It's not a thing. After my parents died, they took all the money in the family and ran away. A year later, they were found dead in a small alley. People were beaten to death. This Zeng Yuner was shy and honest, and she didn't like to be in contact with people very much, so no one knew if she didn't go home. Later, she became pregnant. There are other people, so even if this is something that should be immersed in a pig cage, for the sake of reputation, we will hide it and pretend that we don't know."

"Because Zeng Yuner doesn't go out very often, naturally she can't meet people from outside the village. I really hid this matter. On the day she gave birth, my wife went to deliver the delivery. She gave birth to a very beautiful little boy, and my wife liked it very much. Later, she just gave birth, Zeng Yuner may have been before and after. I didn't take care of it, so I got sick. My old wife wanted to adopt the child, but Zeng Yuner's distant cousin came and took the child away. Looking at the girl's clothes, it was not ordinary. People, so we thought that this child is still young, so we can go back and be our own parents, and we can also enjoy happiness, and this is the end

.

Jiang Yi frowned, if this was the case, it would undoubtedly be even more of a needle in a haystack.

On the other side, Feng Qin found the firewood that had just been extinguished in an open space, and it was estimated that he would not go far. So the arrow was fired, and everyone began to converge on him.

During the meeting, Qi Guanhan discovered their whereabouts and immediately chased after them.

Feng Qin and Feng Ye rushed over after seeing the signal.

There are more than a dozen people on the other side, and their strength is not weak. When they arrived, they had not captured any of them alive.

Feng Qin and the others soon joined the battle.

With Song Qi there, the situation quickly reversed. In addition, this side is already in the boundary of the other side of the palace, Qi Guanhan is finally free, and he can change the formation in the forest, so that none of these people can escape.

During the melee, Qi Guanhan's purse was cut open by the opponent's sword, and the contents fell to the ground, with a dragon-patterned jade pendant lying impressively inside.

Feng Qin was stunned, and Feng Ye was also stunned.

Qi Guanhan quickly picked up the jade pendant and put it in his arms, then waved his sword towards him.

Now is not the time to be in a daze, Feng Ye and Feng Qin came back to their senses and continued to fight.

Nearly an hour later, all the members of the Huo cult were caught. Afraid that they would commit suicide, they blocked their mouths with cloth strips, tied them up, and escorted them back to the government for trial.

Back at Zengjia Village, Jiang Yi told Feng Qin and the others what Li Zheng said. And Feng Qin told Jiang Yi that Qi Guanhan had a jade pendant.

Jiang Yi looked surprised, but Qi Guanhan didn't say anything, as if there was no such thing.

Later, the group returned to the official residence. Even Qi Guanhan was brought back by them and was not allowed to go back to the other side palace.

Qi Guanhan didn't seem to plan to hide it any more, so he didn't come back with them either.

After closing the door, Feng Qin asked Qi Guanhan, "Is that jade pendant yours?"

Qi Guanhan smiled sarcastically, took out the jade pendant and slapped it on the table, "To be honest, if the emperor suddenly came to look for some prince, you might spend your whole life together. You won't know of my existence."

"Your mother is..." Jiang Du didn't know what to say, Qi Guanhan's mother was indeed a pitiful person.

Qi Guanhan sneered: "My mother's name is Zeng Yun'er, but she passed away shortly after I was born, so I don't have any memory of her, I just listened to what my adoptive mother said. The adoptive mother and my mother have known each other since childhood. After she was fortunately abandoned by the emperor, she was furious. She wanted to take my mother to the other side of the palace, but my mother was very weak at the time, and she might not be able to withstand the bumpy mountain road."

"After my mother passed away, my adoptive mother took me to the palace. I was raised by the other side palace and regarded as my own. This jade pendant was kept by my mother because I was afraid that when I grew up, I would not obey me and do something wrong. I hope it can be used to save my life. I have never used it as a life saver. It's just a relic of my mother, and I carry it with me, but I didn't expect it to be unfortunate for you to see it today."

Qi Guanhan's words showed that he was never proud of being a royal heir, but rather rejected it.

"Then... What are your plans for the emperor to find an illegitimate child?" Fengye asked.

Qi Guanhan didn't pay much attention to the tunnel and said, "If you take this jade back home, you can say that the Zeng family is dead and has no children."
