because she was a woman, so there was no way she could help Li Qingwu detoxify.
After Qiu Che said these words, he actually didn't expect to get Li Qingwu's answer.
She regretted it as soon as she said it.
Without even looking at the other person's expression, he just gently brushed the other person's hand away and turned around to leave.
The figure on the back looks like someone running away.
As expected, Li Qingwu didn't say anything to persuade him to stay.
She had the same dream as a month ago.
After the dream he had last time, although he had forgotten most of it when he woke up, the face of the person in the dream still lingered in Li Qingwu's mind.
By some strange coincidence, she suddenly begged the emperor to go out of town for an outing.
And "just in time" Qiu Che returned to Beijing on the day of taking the exam.
Only this time, different from the first dream, this time the dream was longer.
It's also clearer and more logical.
But still short and flustered.
She was like this in the dream, and she was also drugged at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.
He also begged Qiu Che to help him without any dignity.
The difference is that the location is not in this strange courtyard, but in the royal garden of the palace.
Qiu Che in the dream also rejected her request.
But for some reason, when he looked at her, his expression turned a little unnaturally red.
Finally they rolled together.
It was a charming and chaotic affair. Li Qingwu's thoughts were so chaotic that he couldn't see clearly.
Later, it was the footsteps of the crowd.
It was the dark face of my father, and the resentful and disgusted eyes of my aunt.
It was the people around her who pointed at her.
The mirror-like scenes flashed by one after another, and each scene gave her a huge impact.
Then the scene was frozen with her kneeling in the main hall, kowtowing to the emperor.
The emperor on the dragon throne was surrounded by low pressure and looked extremely agitated.
The emperor really had murderous intentions - as his daughter who had been raised by him for more than ten years, Li Qingwu could see it.
She was like an unconscious wandering soul, floating aside, watching helplessly as she opened and closed her lips in the dream, and uttered: "My daughter asked to marry Qiu Che to silence everyone."
"I only ask my father, Spare Qiu Che's life."
The emperor was furious and cursed and punished her with two months of confinement.
Two months later, she wore a red hijab and sat on a sedan chair heading to Qiu's house.
In the bridal chamber, Qiu Che was dressed in a red groom's robe, with a jade crown on his hair, red lips and white teeth.
Yong Yu Ruyi lifted her hijab.
The dream ended abruptly when they looked at each other.
Qiu Che sat in the courtyard for nearly an hour, searching for news about "passing the relationship."
Fu Ling could not say anything good about her expression, nor did she ask her what she had done during the short time she had gone in.
Just squatting under the window sill in the yard, in a daze.
Then Qiu Che arranged to go back to the palace and ask for leave from the emperor, saying that Li Qingwu was not feeling well and had to leave early.
ââThis banquet will not end until the evening. Qiu Che just received an errand and got the privilege to leave early.
Yu Yan followed her and sent news to Qiu Che depending on the situation.
She has improved a lot in martial arts recently, and today is another banquet in the Royal Garden. The guards in the palace are not under martial law, otherwise Qiu Che would not have arranged for her to pick up Li Qingwu before, so he is not worried about her.
Yaotai has also left. As the leader of Hongxiu's moves, she must go back to take charge at night.
Yuming went back to Yeming City to guard.
However, a few new maids were still with her, helping her sort out the anecdotes about Nanyi poison that she had collected from Ye Ming City.
Near sunset, Qiu Che finally finished reading these books.
It's not complicated to say. Thirty years ago, the world was in chaos and all parties were fighting endlessly.
The late emperor was from a grassroots background, but because he knew people well and was good at utilizing them, he acquired two right-hand men, King Zhao and Prime Minister Wu, and single-handedly unified the four countries into Daxia.
There are only two left, namely the Southern Yi and the Northern Hungarian.
The late emperor made himself emperor and empress, and fought non-stop in the first few years.
However, the Northern Huns are all brave, good at fighting, brutal and unreasonable, while the Southern Yi people are famous for their poisonous poisons. They are all scheming and are best at using underhanded tactics.
It's like a hard bone that can't be chewed off or a fish bone stuck in the throat.
After a few years, not only did they fail to conquer the two countries, but they also emptied the already small treasury.
So after the Queen Mother came to power, she took the initiative to sign a peace treaty with the two countries and negotiated non-aggression within fifty years.
The two countries of Nanyi were also able to recuperate, and there had been no changes in the past ten years.
A hundred years ago, Nanyi also relied on the so-called Gu magic to unify the Central Plains and became the overlord in those years. But later there was a backlash, and his status plummeted again -
after all, you can't rule a country by relying on voodoo magic.
The news about the relationship only exists in Nanyi rumors.
Qiu Che browsed through it all afternoon and only saw one mention of love.
It was a folk tale from the Southern Yi. It said that as long as the blood of the "Destined Saint" of the Southern Yi was mixed with rosemary incense, a love story could be made that would make the human body feel the pain of heartbreak.
Qiu Che thought of the intoxicating drug "Broken Bone Herb" that Li Qingwu took out in the past.
At that time, she was wondering, how could the other party have something from Nanyi?
So, does she really have some unspeakable relationship with Nan Yi?
What is this so-called "manifest destiny"?
While he was deep in thought, he heard a slight cough from inside the door.
Qiu Che is a martial arts practitioner with sharp ears and eyes. He always pays attention to the movement inside and heard it immediately.
Thinking about the silence inside shortly after she came out, Li Qingwu must have fallen asleep at that time and woke up again now.
Qiu Che put down the book in his hand and walked to the door. He curled his fingers hesitantly. After a while, he turned to a maid and said, "Go and ask Mr. Chen to come and bring over the tonic that he has been cooking.
" It's harmful to the body, not to mention this kind of tiger and wolf medicine.
Qiu Che couldn't do anything to help her, so he had to deal with the aftermath.
ââAnd, yes, Chen Huichun has not been sent back yet.
The reason is naturally that Qiu Che is afraid that something will happen to Li Qingwu again - even though Chen Huichun repeatedly emphasized that if it was really a love affair, it would be useless for him to stay here, but Qiu Che still politely forced him to stay.
Chen Huichun said at that time: "..."
The reason for being kidnapped seems to have been found.
It turns out that these female bandits all learned from the bandit leader!
The maid Fushen said: "Yes."
As soon as she finished speaking, a low voice came from inside the house: "No need."
The door in front of Qiu Che was opened.
Li Qingwu was wearing a long gown, his lips were still white, and his face was full of fatigue.
But it seems that the effect of the poison has expired.
She glanced at Qiu Che, opened her mouth, and finally uttered the title: "Master Qiu."
"Come in and chat."
Qiu Che sighed deeply, motioned the maids to continue sorting the books, turned around, hesitated, and stepped on Entered the house.
Li Qingwu sat down on the bed again, pulled on the gown that was used as a cloak, and closed his eyes as if he was a little weak.
The bed behind him has been made clean, and there is no trace of the previous mess.
Qiu Che considered it and spoke first: "Your Highness, you should have noticed that your situation is unusual. This is not an ordinary intoxicating drug... There is an 80% chance that it is Nanyi's poison to pass the love test."
Out of Li Qingwu Considering his reputation, and to avoid leaking it to too many people who knew, Qiu Che did not ask a second doctor to confirm the diagnosis.
But Chen Huichun said so, so it's pretty much the same.
Li Qingwu leaned against the head of the bed, his eyelashes twitching slightly: "...passing the relationship?"
"Yes."
Qiu Che explained succinctly, then lowered his head and said, "Speaking of this matter, I am still involved with the princess, personally. It's too complex to say anything - but if Your Highness is willing, I will find a man with a clean family background and good character for Your Highness..."
"Qiu Che,"
Li Qingwu suddenly spoke, interrupting her gently.
Qiu Che raised his eyes when he heard the sound.
"Let's get married."
Qiu Che almost broke the jade pendant buckle around his waist.
She was suffocated for a moment: "Your Highness... do you know what you are talking about?"
"I know." Contrary to her, Li Qingwu looked very calm. She nodded and said, "I said, I want to marry you. "
Qiu Che said with difficulty: "Has His Highness forgotten what we just said? Wei Chen... is a woman."
Li Qingwu said nothing.
She glanced up and down at Qiu Che, and it didn't look like she believed it, nor did she look like she didn't believe it.
Qiu Che was silent and reached out to wipe away his fake Adam's apple: "This is fake."
Then he quickly unbuttoned his clothes and took out two pieces of wood for shoulder pads: "This is also fake."
"The voice..." Qiu Che said, suppressing the man's voice again and using the female voice that he had not used for a long time.
Clear, bright and smooth.
Just like myself.
But there is no doubt that it is a woman's voice.
"It's also fake."
"As for the breasts -" She calmly put the wood back on her Adam's apple one by one, and returned to a man's voice while buttoning her clothes.
"You've seen so much, Your Highness, you won't even want to see this, right?"
Li Qingwu's blank eyes moved upon hearing this, and for some reason, the tips of his ears turned red.
Then he turned away his eyes and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito,
"I didn't say I don't believe it. You don't have to prove it like this."
"In this case, it would be better for Your Highness not to joke with me about the marriage." Qiu Che lowered his head and said, "I have I told Your Highness my biggest secret, but I beg Your Highness to forgive me in your heart."
"No need to forgive, it's not a joke..." Li Qingwu breathed out and paused when he saw Qiu Che lowering his head.
After a while, she said softly, "That's all, please sit down first."
"I would like to ask a few questions, but I wonder if it's not convenient for you to answer them?"
"Your Highness, please tell me."
"Is my poisoning this time related to you?"
" ...Yes."
"Who wants to harm me?"
Qiu Che said in a low voice, "It's my father and brother who made you have to marry me for a trick."
Actually, this should not be said.
After all, she owed Li Qingwu now, and saying this would give him another handle.
But she was afraid that if she didn't tell him, Li Qingwu would foolishly insist on getting married to her.
Tell her the truth, firstly, because she has the right to know the truth, and secondly, to let Li Qingwu retreat when faced with difficulties.
Li Qingwu frowned slightly: "Why?"
"The eldest princess was loved by all, and she was made the first-class eldest princess as soon as she was born... This is a well-known thing," Qiu Che said in a low voice, "The Qiu family has been in poverty for a long time, I My father really wanted to reach the sky in one step, so he decided to... hit you. "
Although this idea came out of the blue.
How could Qiu Chudong be sure that the princess would definitely marry him under this conspiracy?
Aren't you afraid that the emperor's anger will directly confiscate your home?
When Qiu Che was thinking about this question, Li Qingwu was strangely quiet for a moment, and then said nonchalantly:
"I understand."
"Second question," Li Qingwu hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Why are you pretending to be a man? Where is your body?"
Qiu Che's thoughts were interrupted and his eyes moved slightly.
She twitched the corner of her mouth: "It's just because my father favors boys over girls. In order to survive, I have to do it, but I don't want to make the same mistake again and again..."
"But in short, no matter what, even though I am forced to deceive you, I still have to do it." Don't worry, Your Highness."
Li Qingwu nodded, and then said in confusion: "But... you just told me this, aren't you afraid that I will tell you or use it to blackmail you?"
She disguised herself as a man to participate . Taking the imperial examination is a crime of deceiving the emperor.
Once the emperor finds out, he will kill the nine tribes.
Let alone the sixth-grade official position, I'm afraid I won't even be able to save my life by then.
"...Will the princess say it?" Qiu Che asked.
Li Qingwu blinked slowly: "That's impossible to say."
Qiu Che then sighed helplessly: "That's what my fate should be."
The two looked at each other and suddenly laughed together.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became much more relaxed.
Qiu Che thought Li Qingwu understood what he meant, and was about to speak again when he heard her say again: "So, what do you think about it?"
"What?"
Li Qingwu smiled: "Get married - us."
Qiu Che was speechless . After a moment: "Allow me to ask, why is Your Highness so persistent in getting married to me?"
Li Qingwu thought for a while and did not answer immediately: "Then why are you unwilling to agree?"
"I am a woman," Qiu Che smiled bitterly. , "You marry me, and if His Majesty discovers that one day I disguise myself as a man, you, as my pillow, don't find out... It's really unreasonable."
"If I am ruined, you will most likely come with me, Being despised by the world."
This reason is actually 30% true and 70% false.
There is indeed a reason for fear of being discovered, but in his previous life, Qiu Che pretended to be fake for ten years without being exposed, so he was not very worried about this issue.
The boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge.
More importantly, she didn't want Li Qingwu to follow in the footsteps of his previous life.
But of course this reason cannot be stated.
So she could only use the excuse of pretending to be a man to try to persuade the other party again.
"I am not a lover. If you marry me, you will get nothing. If you say you have a good impression of me... But now you also know that I am a woman, and the relationship in the family is so complicated. The future is destined to be bumpy, and I will not be able to give you what you want. Peace and joy."
She was really serious in persuading Li Qingwu to retreat.
Li Qingwu stared into her eyes for a moment and realized this.
She thought about it, considered it for a moment, and said, "I don't want to marry you just because of you."
Qiu Che said that he was all ears.
"You said that in order to survive, you disguised yourself as a man to get to where you are today... My situation is actually not much better than yours."
Qiu Che blinked in surprise.
But she was surprised not by the content of Li Qingwu's words, but by Li Qingwu's sudden and frank attitude.
Where she didn't notice, Li Qingwu's grip on the cloak tightened and then loosened.
Then he said softly: "I'm not afraid of your jokes. I... am actually not as favored as the rumors say. My father does like me, but it's like he likes a delicate, well-behaved and obedient puppet." "
Once I don't go my way . Act according to his will, ranging from confinement to severe punishment..."
At this point, Qiu Che frowned slightly and subconsciously looked behind her.
Li Qingwu smiled again: "You can't see it... There are countless people who are good at torture in the palace. There are ten thousand ways to whip without leaving any trace."
"It doesn't hurt, but it is grinding - it is unforgettable."
"He needs it . He is just a perfect puppet... The reason why he wants to be perfect is because he has good face, and he must use the appearance of perfection and honor to win over the hearts of the courtiers and express his importance to them. "
Look, I treat my daughter who I love so much. I have given them to you, wouldnât it be too much if you are still not loyal to me?
"And I am just a more important chess piece in his hand."
Qiu Che was silent and exhaled with some discomfort.
In fact, judging from the attitude that Li Qingwu was sent to Jiangnan for ten years in her previous life, but the emperor only asked a few casual questions, she had thought that Li Qingwu might not be as favored as the rumors said.
In this life, when she heard Li Qingwu's words "I'm not very afraid" in the imperial garden, she became more certain of her guess.
But she didn't expect that the eldest princess, who was so glamorous in the eyes of outsiders, was strictly monitored even when she came in and out in private, and she had no freedom.
To put it bluntly, she is not even comparable to an ordinary palace maid.
"So, you want to marry me because you actually want to get rid of this control?"
Qiu Che paused for a moment and said politely, "But the Qiu family shouldn't be much better."
"Yes," Li Qingwu nodded neatly, "Actually To be honest, my father invited many officials and young ladies to this palace banquet, partly to choose a son-in-law for me, and partly to give you a marriage."
"Me?"
Qiu Che looked confused, "Your Majesty... Why would Your Majesty grant me a marriage if you have nothing to do? "
It's such a risk.
The words "Emperor Laoer" almost came out.
Of course, itâs to help you get married quickly, and thatâs how I feel about it.
Li Qingwu said silently in his heart.
But she didn't reply immediately. She just changed the subject calmly and continued: "I am already at the center of the dispute. If I don't marry you this time, I will soon be arranged to marry someone else." "Instead of marrying you,
I will be married to someone else soon."
Those old men who are over fifty years old are working as secret agents. It is better to marry you early... At least, you still have a face that can be pleasing to the eye."
Li Qingwu thought of something, smiled gently, and said slowly:
"Besides, the Qiu family has nothing. No, itâs just stepping from a familiar hell into another unfamiliar cage..." Li Qingwu paused and joked, "At least, can it make me feel a little bit novel?"
Qiu Che said helplessly, "Your Highness, this is a joke. But it can't be opened."
"Qiu Che."
Li Qingwu looked up at her, her long hair falling down from her temples, making her already thin face look even paler.
Qiu Che looked back.
"Losing consciousness and becoming numb is a very painful thing."
She said slowly, "I just want to live with consciousness."
Seeing Qiu Che stunned, Li Qingwu lowered his eyes again and breathed softly. Said: "Besides, since you are a woman disguised as a man and don't want others to know, it is impossible to get a wife. What if my father forcibly grants you a marriage?... We already know the basics. Getting married is not good for both parties. , both sides were silent for a long time, Qiu Che's chest heaved, and he whispered: "... Okay
."
Li Qingwu also raised his lips: "So, you agree?"
"...So I guess."
Qiu Che hesitated and said, "However, I still have to ask, are you sure that the princess wants to marry me just for cooperation?"
Li Qingwu pursed his lower lip and observed her expression: "You hope so, don't you? ?"
Qiu Che said nothing.
But the answer is already obvious.
Li Qingwu smiled and said calmly: "...That's it."
Qiu Che subconsciously skipped the word "then". When he heard the answer, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and nodded: "I understand."
The most important thing is Yes, she always felt that she owed Li Qingwu everything.
If the other party has determined that he has no other thoughts about her and is just eager to find someone to marry, then there is no harm in cooperating to get her out of her misery.
Think of it as making up for Qiu Che's repeated decision-making mistakes in the past.
"Since the goals are the same, it would be better for me to talk about some things first."
Li Qingwu paused slightly unnoticeably and motioned to her.
"With a period of five years," Qiu Che calculated and said, "After five years, if I don't have the prime minister, you and I will make peace."
"If I let you go free, I won't call you father... Your Majesty knows You can leave without worrying about your whereabouts."
"In the meantime, if you and I meet someone we like, we can also suspend cooperation and leave at any time."
Qiu Che said this, looked at her again, and asked. "How?"
Li Qingwu was surprised: "You... want to be the prime minister?"
Qiu Che asked: "Isn't it possible?"
Li Qingwu calmed down: "The power in the court is complicated now, and Prime Minister Wu has one hand to control the sky. You... are a girl, so you must Do you want to go through this muddy water?"
Qiu Che said again: "What about my daughter? I am not in the boudoir.
"
"So I say, Your Highness, you have to think about it," Qiu Che rubbed the edge of the jade pendant and said calmly, "Marry me, you will have nothing, and you will be in danger at any time."
Li Qingwu was speechless, and it took him a long time to turn around . Looking at his eyes, he whispered: "...Okay."
Qiu Che didn't hear clearly: "What?"
Li Qingwu then turned back to look at her. His clear, almond-shaped eyes looked at Qiu Che calmly and said seriously: "I said, okay."
"I will help you."
She couldn't understand . The sparks in Qiu Che's eyes.
But this is Qiu Che.
So the fire in the other party's eyes seemed to ignite Li Qingwu's heart that had been silent for many years.
It started to beat again and again.
ââIf this is what Qiu Che wants, it seems that it is not such a deviant goal.
She will help her and help this spark start a prairie fire.
Now that we have decided to cooperate, we naturally have to agree on how to face the next scene.
And how to get the emperor to agree to the marriage.
The two discussed it for a while. Before getting up and leaving, Qiu Che paused and spoke again: "What do you plan to do about the poison?"
Li Qingwu lowered his head to look at his embroidered shoes and sighed softly: "Let's just get by, ship." Go straight to the bridge... Anyway, no one will die for the time being. "
There is really no other way.
Qiu Che was speechless.
But he felt more and more guilty in his heart, and decided that no matter what, even if he couldn't detoxify, he would try his best to make the other party feel better when the poison attacks.
As she turned around, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
Ever since she confessed that she was a woman, Li Qingwu seemed to be more relaxed when facing her?
When I returned to Qiu's house, night had fallen.
The Qiu family father and son were still imprisoned in Dali Temple, but Mrs. Liu only received the news that the father and son had committed crimes and were being imprisoned.
When he heard that she was back, he came to her in a panic and asked, "Where are your father and brother? What happened? Why are they still in the palace when you are back?"
Qiu Che sat in Qiu Zhe's yard grandly, After picking up a pen to write a letter, he looked up at her and said calmly: "Then you have to ask your father and brother."
Mrs. Liu questioned: "Lie! You went with them! How could you not know what happened? What?â
Qiu Che said with a half-smile: âMadam, what you said is a bit arbitrary. I heard that this is a big case - and I am only a junior official, how can I know what is going on?â
Mrs. Liu frowned and looked at her for a few times, snorted coldly, turned around and left in a panic.
Probably just to collect money to find out the news.
After she left, Qiu Che finished the letter calmly, passed the letter away on a flying pigeon, then stood up and left the deserted courtyard.
On the way, he saw the servants passing by in a hurry, but his expression remained unchanged and he went straight to Aunt Wang's residence.
She remembered that eleven years ago, when the Qiu Mansion was flooded, it seemed to be in such a mess.
That was the beginning of her nightmare.
As a concubine since childhood, her father always had stricter requirements for her than his legitimate son Qiuzhe.
Sometimes Qiuzhe made mistakes and it was blamed on her. She didn't need to defend herself, and she would be scolded by her eccentric father.
Mrs. Wang always told her that she had high expectations and high hopes for her, so she was extra strict.
Qiu Che deeply believed it, and had always believed it so.
ââBecause seven-year-old Xiao Qiuche didn't know how she could face her father's stern face other than believing in this reason.
Until that unexpected leak completely broke this white lie.
Eleven years ago, she was seven and Qiu Zhe was eight, both of whom were about to enter school.
At that time, the Qiu Mansion had not yet been defeated, and it was the third year since her grandmother, Lin Xi, the previous generation leader of the Qiu Mansion, had just passed away.
According to Daxia law, if a relative dies in the family, the family members must observe mourning for three years before entering school or taking the scientific examination.
For this reason, Qiu Zhe delayed enrolling in school for three years until the end of his filial piety.
He made a fuss and refused to go to school, rolling on the ground and crying until he burst into tears.
Then he knocked over the candlestick.
At that time, Qiu Che was standing aside, standing next to Wang, listening to Qiu Zhe's cries, with a low eyebrow.
But I was thinking in my heart, why did my father let his brother enter school when he was five years old.
Why have I never mentioned it to myself?
Then Qiu Zhe pulled the tablecloth over with one hand, and when the candlestick fell down, it hit her wrist.
Mrs. Wang screamed and rushed to put out the fire for her, but the candlestick quickly ignited other items, and the flames spread to the sky, burning into a piece.
Qiu Chudong quickly picked up her two sons and ran out without even looking at Wang, who was left behind.
After the fire was out, Qiu Chudong was the first to check Qiu Zhe's injuries.
Seeing that he was okay, he turned to pull Qiu Che's clothes.
ââThen he saw Qiu Che's bra.
A seven-year-old child has not yet begun to develop.
But Wang had always been cautious and paid attention to everything. For fear of being discovered by Qiu Chudong, she wrapped Qiu Che in advance.
Qiu Che remembered that the father in front of him first looked worried, and then his expression solidified.
Then two nuns were sent to take off Qiu Che's clothes and check her body, regardless of Wang's cries.
The result is of course unpleasant.
When she suddenly learned that the son she had raised for seven years was a daughter, Qiu Chudong's face turned completely dark.
Qiu Che's head was held down by her mother and knocked to the ground.
Qiu Chudong was so angry that he immediately kicked the mother and daughter out of the house. Qiu Zhe was also there. Although he was ignorant and didn't understand what was going on, he clapped his hands and applauded viciously.
But in the end, this decision was blocked by Mrs. Liu who arrived belatedly.
She didn't know what happened, and Qiu Chudong also felt embarrassed that she had been deceived for so long, so he refused to tell her.
Mrs. Liu ignored the mother and daughter kneeling on the ground, and gently advised Qiu Chudong: Since Qiu Zhe refuses to go to school, it is better to send Qiu Che away.
Anyway, the two children haven't opened their eyes yet, they look very similar, and they are about the same age.
This makes everyone happy, right?
Qiu Chudong thought about it for a long time and finally nodded.
Qiu Che went to the Imperial Academy for eight years under Qiu Zhe's name.
But Qiuche and her daughter still did not escape punishment at that time.
She knelt on the ground and watched her mother being punished for her.
The long board fell on Wang's body one after another, and the skin and flesh were torn apart from the beating, which made the seven-year-old child feel cold in his heart.
At that time, Qiu Che looked at the scars on his wrists that were fluttering like butterflies, and thought blankly:
It was obvious that her brother had done something wrong, why was she kneeling here?
Why was it her mother who was punished in the end?
ââFrom then on, she awakened a trace of resistance.
From that time on, whenever things went wrong in autumn, early winter, or anything went wrong, the mother and daughter would be beaten or scolded.
He beat Wang into a sick young man who fell down when the wind blew, and scolded Qiu Che into a taciturn nerd.
During the years in the Imperial College, Qiu Che had always behaved mediocrely and did not want to attract attention because of Qiu Zhe's name.
In private, he read like crazy and tried his best to absorb all the knowledge he could.
Her body is rotten, her spirit is full and full.
At that time, Qiu Chudong probably didn't expect that Qiu Che would become the number one scholar in one fell swoop.
So when Qiu Che asked him for money to take the scientific examination, he had the casual idea that "if he passes the exam, he will get his salary, and Qiu Che's salary is his salary" and did not ask her whose name she filled in. .
It just so happened that Qiu Che also had some selfish intentions and wrote his real name when referring to it.
She wanted her father to see who the truly outstanding people were.
ââBut in the final analysis, itâs just childlike anger.
So the talented "Qiu Che" was born.
That one decision made by mistake completely changed her subsequent life.
It is no longer her who needs to work hard to replace her brother, but her brother who needs to work hard to replace her.
But to this day, Qiu Che still can't figure out whether it was Mrs. Liu's sudden conscience that made her mean, or whether she just pushed Qiu Che out because she doted on her children too much.
After all, Mrs. Liu's harsh and sarcastic attitude toward their mother and daughter in the eleven years that followed was not fake.
The human heart is truly an unpredictable thing.
When thinking of this, Qiu Che stopped.
She saw Yu Yan carrying the concubine-colored sack, standing in front of Aunt Wang's courtyard, and said solemnly: "Master, everything is fine."
Qiu Che's thoughts were suddenly interrupted.
She moved her gaze upwards and said with difficulty: "How come you...still keep this sack?"
Yu Yan scratched his head: "Isn't it pretty? And there have been a lot of kidnapping jobs recently. I thought it would be useful. Don't waste it, keep it."
Qiu Che looked at the sack without any movement, and then at the jade inkstone with a confident face that even had the words "please praise" written on it: "..." He
was speechless. .
Forget it, as long as this girl is happy.
When Wang woke up, she found herself in a strange courtyard. She was frightened for a long time. It wasn't until she saw Qiu Che that she finally felt at ease.
She said with an angry tone: "You child, your father and brother don't know what happened. How can you mess with me at this critical moment? Go back to Qiu's house quickly..."
"Mother," Qiu Che paused and changed "Mother."
Wang was confused and saw something wrong with her expression: "...What's wrong?"
"What if Qiu Chudong and I have to choose one?"
Qiu Che's throat rolled, but his tone remained calm, " What if I, him, and Qiu Zhe will fight to the death?"
"Who do you choose?"
Wang was shocked for a long time and held her hand: "Silly boy! What nonsense are you talking about? They are your father and brother. , you are a girl, and your fame will go to your brother sooner or later..."
Qiu Che interrupted her: "Do you even think so?"
Wang was stunned: "Otherwise, you can't pretend to be a man all your life? "Why don't you get married and have children?"
"It's precisely because I'm a girl that my journey has been so difficult,"
Qiu Che said indifferently . I want to be powerful and powerful... I want to destroy their family."
Wang became excited: "Stop talking nonsense!"
"Since you know this road is difficult! Why do you insist on it? It's the crime of bullying the emperor -"
"I've tasted the feeling of being trampled on once, and I don't want to do it again."
"Dignity is a privilege only for those in power."
Qiu Che said every word, very lightly and unusually. He said firmly, "I would rather die on the way to the top than be stepped on by ants."
"Mother, you must choose one today."
"If you choose me, don't go back."
"That place is no longer me. Home."
Wang looked at her in shock, as if she had just met her.
After a long time, she took a step back and fell on the bed.
She murmured: "You...you, please let me think about it."
"Let me calm down."
Qiu Che nodded: "I just remind you, don't forget your past just because you have been in the cage for a long time. She is also free. "
The former Wang was also a girl from an innocent family.
After being seduced by Qiu and Chudong, she was forcibly married and taken into the house as a concubine. At an age when they shouldn't have their feet bound, because of some special habits of Qiu and Chudong, a pair of foot bones were broken.
Wang, who had just arrived in the mansion, was looking for life and death all day long and did not want to stay.
But a pair of three-inch golden lotus trapped her feet.
It seemed like this had trapped her for the rest of her life.
After a moment, the door that had just been closed suddenly opened again.
Qiu Che appeared behind the door: "Oh. By the way, mother."
Wang looked over blankly.
"There is a happy event that I forgot to tell you."
Wang: "Huh?"
Qiu Che: "You are going to be a mother-in-law."
Wang: "Oh."
The next second, Wang came back to her senses and her heartbeat stopped. Pat: "...Huh?!?!"
What am I going to do, you say it again? !
But after Qiu Che announced the news in a bad way, he closed the door again and left.
In the afternoon after the palace banquet, Qiu Che was summoned by the emperor.
She changed into official uniform and entered the palace with Fuzi.
I met two maids of honor on the palace road. After greeting each other, they passed by each other.
Fuzi introduced her with a smile: "Master Qiu, those two are the two girls from the Queen's palace, named Lianyi and Yingyu... The Queen is worthy of being the head of the harem, and she is well-mannered. Not only the eldest princess His Highness is well-educated and well-educated, and even the ladies-in-waiting under his command are courteous. "
Is that so?
Qiu Che thought of the ridiculous scene he encountered in the imperial garden, smiled slightly, and said nothing.
Fuzi's enthusiastic attitude and the title of "sir" all the way made Qiu Che understand that her plan was successful.
Sure enough, as soon as he stepped into the imperial study, he heard the emperor's voice laughing with his hands in his hands: "Wonderful! How wonderful!"
Qiu Che's face remained as usual, pretending to be ignorant, and bowed his head and said: "I see you, Your Majesty."
" No gift! Come on, give me a seat!"
Li Shi stood up immediately, and while getting off the dragon chair, he held her hand happily and said with a hearty smile, "Ai Qing, you gave me a big surprise. "What do you think I should do to reward you?"
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"
Qiu Che was startled at first, and then looked confused. "Weichen doesn't quite understand."
The acting was really natural, without any trace.
Li Shi said "You're still pretending", then he picked up the memorial that had been viewed countless times from the table and handed it to her: "This is what you presented a month ago - it's what you said at the banquet "Isn't that what I handed you?"
Qiu Che reached out and took it, read the contents of the memorial before nodding, "Yes. But didn't your majesty see this memorial?"
Her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant. This sentence obviously made Li Shi a little embarrassed.
The other party coughed and his smile faded a little.
But his tone was still cheerful: "That's not important - if Aiqing had told you this was what was written in the brochure, how could it have taken so long? I won't be angry because you haven't been on duty for so long!"
Li As he spoke, he patted her shoulder happily and said, "What you said in your memorial is all what I think! My dear, you are really a roundworm in my belly! Hahahahahaha!"
Qiu Che thought in his heart. Lazy rolled his eyes.
The old emperor will try his best to put gold on his face.
If she hadn't mentioned it, would Li Shi have thought of these ways to balance the relationship between aristocratic families and officials?
What about roundworms... Are you praising people or scolding them?
But his face was full of respect: "Your Majesty, you are serious."
The emperor and his ministers discussed the legal issues again. Qiu Che always only focused on the surface, "attacking the big families", and calmly persuaded the emperor to give himself Delegate more.
What she wants is not only to check and balance the family and the prime minister, but also to modify more.
Only when the emperor nodded, could she let it go. When someone made a comment, she could reply with "Your Majesty allows it." Who dared to have an opinion against the emperor?
As expected, Li Shi was surrounded by her. He laughed to himself when he was happy in the conversation, and then he patted the table and said, "Okay! Ai Qing is such a talented person! My talented person!"
"Your Majesty, thank you."
The emperor stroked his beard and thought for a while, then said something surprising: "Since my beloved has so many thoughts on the matter of amending the laws, how about I leave this matter to you to investigate?"
Before Qiu Che could reply, he touched his chin again and thought. Said:
"It will be wrong for you to be a sixth-grade Hanlin Academy editor, and it will not be convenient for you to travel to and from the palace... I originally wanted to promote you. Why not, if you accept this job, I will grant you the privilege of freely entering and exiting the palace. ââIf you do well, I will promote you to the fifth rank of Shidu, how about it
?
Qiu Che also did this job in his previous life, but the timeline was three years later.
She advanced the time for Daxia's legal reform, and her promotion time was also accelerated.
From the sixth grade to the fifth grade in one month, it is really unprecedented.
But this also means that she is one step closer to the top of Qingyun Road.
Qiu Che didn't shirk it. If she wanted to enter the court, she couldn't be afraid of attracting attention. The emperor's attention was actually her life-saving card.
So he immediately showed surprise and knelt down to thank the emperor for his kindness.
But after thanking him, he didn't stand up immediately. Instead, he showed some desire to speak but then hesitated.
Li Shi noticed something, raised his eyebrows with a smile and asked, "What, my dear, do you have anything else to say?"
Qiu Che hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Back to Your Majesty, I have one more thing, I hope Your Majesty will do it for you."
Li Shi's heart was pounding. Jump, I have a bad feeling for no reason.
He coughed: "What's the matter? Just tell me."
"Wei Chen fell in love with Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess at first sight."
Qiu Che looked a little shy and lowered his head as if he was embarrassed, but his voice was loud and powerful. , "I want to... ask the eldest princess what she means."
"If your highness has no objection, please ask your majesty for a marriage."
