Chapter Two Hundred and Two: No Time to Delay
readx;
It was very pleasant to see Qin Shaoyou's mission inside and outside the court.
This guy is a troublemaker, and it's great to throw it into the desert.
Besides... although many people pretend to be confused, they understand in their hearts what happened to the eldest princess’ marriage. Qin Shaoyou is looking for death.
The Wu family wanted Qin Shaoyou to take the Duke of Heng back. Although there was only a little hope, it would always be good to try it.
For Li, this is really a desperate situation. There is another village with a dark and bright future. This time, I did have the opportunity to completely defeat Qin Shaoyou, but because it is important to deal with the Zhang brothers, I let Qin Shaoyou go. I just wanted to find a better opportunity, but I was afraid it would not be easy.
Now, Qin Shaoyou went out of the gate. Isn’t this just because someone sent a pillow when he was dozing off? What a good thing.
Qin Shaoyou had almost finished his work, and had received the letter of nationality sent by the Ministry of Rites and was about to pick up the princess to set off.
Who knew that at this time, someone came to visit?
The person who came to visit surprised Qin Shaoyou. It was Di Renjie.
Di Renjie did not wear Liang Guan and public uniforms, which was obviously a private visit. Qin Shaoyou did not dare to neglect this. After all, he was the deputy prime minister and one of the most real and powerful figures in the court. Moreover, he received the strong support of Li, which was definitely a terrifying existence.
Di Renjie actually brought someone here, who is also an old acquaintance and the magistrate of County Liu.
Qin Shaoyou greeted them from the front door, invited them to the central hall, and asked someone to send Princess Tea. Di Renjie and Liu County Magistrate sat down. The Liu County Magistrate smiled and said, "Di Gong came from Jiangnan West Road. When he came to Luoyang, he knew this Princess Tea. I told him that Princess Tea is very popular in Luoyang now, but when it comes to the most authentic place of Princess Tea, it is this village. All the princess tea in the world has come from now on. Di Gong doesn't believe it, so he just lets him see it."
So the three of them laughed. Di Renjie took a bite of tea and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Good tea!"
Qin Shaoyou thought to himself, they...can't be here to eat and drink, are they trying to let me give them tea?
In fact, this is not the jealous heart of Qin Shaoyou. Think about it, Di Renjie has always been honest. Although he is in a high position, he lives a hard life because of his integrity. As for the magistrate of Liu Yuanfangliu, his official reputation is also good. Besides, he is the magistrate of Jing County, so he is afraid he will not dare to do anything randomly. After all, this is under the feet of the emperor, and so many censors are watching him, how dare he scrape the ground?
From Qin Shaoyou's perspective, these two people are damn poor people. They are fond of tea, but this princess tea is very valuable. Isn't this here to fight Qiufeng, what are they here to do?
Although Qin Shaoyou was not stingy, he smiled at Di Renjie's position. He and him would never get together. He gave him tea. Although human favors were done, what's the use? So he did not say very proudly, if Di Gong liked it, I had dozens of kilograms of princess tea here, and I would like to accept it. Instead, he laughed dryly, saying, "Envoy Liu has said it. I just don't know... what does Di Gong and Envoy Liu have to teach you?"
Liu Yuanfang smiled, but looked at Di Renjie.
Di Renjie's face was slightly dark, and he pondered: "It's true that he would not go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. I heard that the eldest princess is pregnant?"
Di Renjie is really straightforward. Most people don’t know that the eldest princess is pregnant. Even those who know it all say it privately, but he went straight to attack Qin Shaoyou and caught him off guard.
Qin Shaoyou was drinking tea. As a result, a sip of tea almost spit out, and immediately said righteously: "Why did Di Gong say this? Such words are simply... nonsense. I have never heard of such a thing. The eldest princess is a daughter-in-law, and how can she be pregnant when she lives in the palace? I think this must be a slut, and how can Di Gong believe it easily." Qin Shaoyou continued firmly: "No one in the world knows the character of the eldest princess, what a chaste person he is..."
Liu Yuanfang looked at Qin Shaoyou like a fool. After holding it in for a long time, she finally couldn't help it and said, "Emperor Qin, don't deny it. Everyone knows it inside and outside Luoyang City."
"Huh? Who said that?" Qin Shaoyou still wanted to deny it!
Liu Yuanfang smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness Taiping..."
“…”
Qin Shaoyou was stunned: "That tongue woman."
Liu Yuanfang said: "How can Qin Duwei..."
Qin Shaoyou felt that he was speechless and finally said powerlessly: "I'm afraid everyone heard it wrong?"
Liu Yuanfang said: "It was His Highness Princess Taiping who said in person. The King of Linzi and several masters heard it with their own ears. How could there be any mistake?"
Qin Shaoyou: “…”
He couldn't come back for a long time. I'm going, is this still a human being?
He had to smile bitterly, but looked at Di Renjie: "It's just...Duke Di... This princess is pregnant, it's His Highness's business, what does it have to do with us?"
Di Renjie said seriously: "This matter is of great importance. You have to ask clearly, but you don't know whose child is in the eldest princess' belly?"
Qin Shaoyou said angrily: "Duke Di asked me, who will I ask?"
Di Renjie sighed and said, "But Princess Taiping said that the child in the eldest princess's belly...is related to you."
"What?" Qin Shaoyou said furiously: "This is a crime that wants to be accused. It is simply a deer as a horse, and it is not different from black and white... Nothing is simply a nonsense. Di Gong, it is necessary to spread such false rumors. Is there no king's law? Humph!"
Di Renjie has been observing Qin Shaoyou, but he didn't know the truth or the false. Of course he came to spy on it. After all, this was something that Princess Taiping said. Although it may not be reliable, it may not be groundless. This matter is of course very serious, so Di Renjie came here to confirm it personally. Now Qin Shaoyou denies it, which makes him a little undecided. Qin Shaoyou acted like seeing off guests. Di Renjie had to smile and said, "If that child is not Qin Duwei, Qin Duwei is also young and restless, this matter will always be a result. Well, I have been bothering me a lot and say goodbye."
Di Renjie took Liu Yuanfang out, and Qin Shaoyou was too lazy to send them away. This time, Qin Duwei was really heartbroken. It would be fine if he was wronged. The problem was that Lao Wang next door was not himself.
Di Renjie left Zhuangzi, held his hand and walked slowly towards Luoyang City with his slow horse. Liu Yuanfang caught up with him and was silent.
After a while, Di Renjie suddenly said, "Yuan Fang, what do you think?"
Liu Yuanfang said: "It is difficult to tell whether it is true or not. It is now hard to tell whether it is true or false. But now it is already very popular. Someone must take the blame."
Di Renjie nodded, smiled slightly, and said, "For some people, it doesn't matter who they are. What's important is who they want this person to be."
Liu Yuanfang glanced at Di Renjie deeply and said, "Is Di Gong such a person too?"
Di Renjie smiled faintly, looked at the setting sun in the sky, and said without hesitation: "Let's go."
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Qin Shaoyou was really scared while being sad. He cursed in his heart that Widow Li was not a thing, but he didn't say anything and was ready to clean up the details.
Running away is a must. This matter has spread, so it must be another ups and downs. The royal family has put the greatest pressure on it. In fact, they don’t care who this is, the most important thing is who they want to attack.
Now Widow Li said it was her. Although there was no evidence to investigate and was just groundless, it just happened to be the taste of Li's surname. God knows whether they would seize this matter to make a fuss.
So... Luoyang City has become a place of right and wrong. If you don't run away, God knows what trouble will happen.
There was only one reason to leave. He had already been ordered to go on a mission. Qin Shaoyou wanted to stay for a few days, but now it seems that he could not stay anymore. He quickly ordered Zhuangzi to prepare and ordered Fang Jing to prepare to set up the camp. He rode a fast horse and rushed to Luoyang to pay homage to the emperor.
………………………………………………………………………………
I guess... Wu Zetian is not aware of this rumor yet. It should be the news that Widow Li just revealed. Some close ministers wanted to report the report, but were afraid that the emperor would be furious, so they simply pretended to be confused and waited for the censor to write a letter before saying it. The censor wanted to submit a memorial, and finally there was a process. Because of this, Wu Zetian was very strange about Qin Shaoyou's arrival.
"Your Majesty, I have thought about it, and I can't delay the mission. I am ready now, and I only need the east wind. I beg you to take the eldest princess out of the frontier immediately, and I hope your majesty will be able to make the right choice."
A hint of surprise flashed through Wu Zetian's eyes: "Qin Qing, won't this seem hasty?"
Qin Shaoyou said honestly: "Your Majesty, it's not that I am hasty, but that I am doing extraordinary things at an extraordinary time. Now, the eldest princess is pregnant, and the Turks are not aware of it. Once any rumors spread, I am afraid that I will have many dreams. Besides, I will go to the mountains and rivers far away, so it is better to leave early. This matter should not be done in a big way, so it's better to be low-key. It's the best time to leave at this time."
Wu Zetian pursed her lips and still felt something was wrong. After all, it was the princess who got married. Such a big thing seemed to be missing something. But after careful consideration, he finally coaxed Qin Shaoyou to serve on a mission, and it was rare for him to care about it. This matter was a killing two birds with one stone for Wu Zetian, but it took huge risks for Qin Shaoyou. Therefore, it was natural to listen to his arrangements. Therefore, he nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then you can set off, Wan'er, you go and prepare."
