The man's words were conveyed to Yun Muzhou at the bottom of the steps. She looked over gratefully and met his gaze.
The man nodded to her and looked at Queen Mother Nan Lingxue.
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and showed a look of displeasure: "King Dong, you have just returned to the capital, and you still don't understand the ins and outs of the matter. The Ai family has its own arrangements for this matter!"
Moving King?
Only then did Yun Muzhou realize that the man in blue in front of him was Yuwen Fengdong, the third son of the late emperor. It was said that he had no interest in government affairs and was obsessed with the beauty of mountains and rivers. He stayed outside all year round and was at ease. It seemed that he had just arrived a few days ago.
He was urgently recalled to Beijing by the emperor.
Yu Wenfeng said excitedly: "Although my mother and I don't know the details, it is obvious that the young lady in front of me has no intention of entering the palace. My eldest brother has no shortage of women, let alone forcing others to do it."
After hearing what he said, Yuwen Fengning immediately became dissatisfied.
I don’t know what the third child is causing trouble with. If I had known it, I wouldn’t have brought him to the queen mother’s place today.
"King Dong, you and Yun Muzhou are not familiar with each other. How did you know that she was unwilling? Don't you know that women are always reserved at times like this? Don't do bad things out of kindness!" the Queen Mother warned Yu Wenfeng.
Yuwen Fengdong was speechless. He traveled out all year round. But he could still tell whether a girl was shy or unwilling.
He glanced at the emperor's brother and saw that he was determined to win, so he knew that they were forcing the girl.
I don’t know whose family this girl is, so unlucky.
Come to think of it, her family doesn't have much influence in the court. Otherwise, even the emperor and the queen mother would not dare to be so blatant.
If it had been anyone else, he would have stopped talking about this matter. But he couldn't bear to see them bullying a girl, so he spoke again: "Mother, even if the emperor wants to have a concubine, shouldn't he change the way? For example,
Are you asking for marriage, or are both of you interested in letting this young lady participate in the annual concubine selection ceremony?"
Yuwen Fengning's face completely darkened.
He said in a cold voice: "Third son, what do you mean by this? Can the queen mother still embarrass Miss Yun? The queen mother knows that I have always been on good terms with Miss Yun, and secretly admire her very much, so she asked this question. Let
When you say it, it sounds like I am bullying men and dominating women!"
King Dong hurriedly held up his hands and explained: "Brother, please calm down. I never meant this. I just think..."
"Move the King!" the Queen Mother shouted sharply.
She was so angry that her chest swelled and hurt. At that moment, she saw Yun Muzhou on the side looking like it had nothing to do with her, and she suddenly became furious.
"Yun Muzhou, there's nothing wrong with you here, please step back!"
Just as Yun Muzhou was getting what he wanted, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, and the common people, please retreat."
After finishing her words, she ignored Yu Wenfeng and walked out. When she got outside, she could still hear the voice of the Queen Mother angrily scolding King Dong: "King Dong, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense! Yun Muzhou is from Yunyao.
Granddaughter, tell the Ai family that with her status, who else can she marry besides the emperor? Who else can the royal family allow her to marry?"
Yun Muzhou paused, wanting to hear Yuwen Fengdong's answer.
Yu Wenfeng's voice came out. He said: "Mother, this is just your idea. Have you asked the emperor?"
Yun Muzhou smiled mockingly, Yu Wenfeng Ning was even more eager than the Queen Mother.
She quickened her pace and left the palace.
Outside the palace gate, she got on Chanyi's carriage and suddenly thought of something. She lifted the curtain: "Chanyi, go to the west of the outer city and find a medicine shop called Asakusa Hall."
"Yes, miss."
The carriage went all the way to the west of the outer city, and at the last position, we saw the plaque of Asakusa Hall.
"Miss, we're here."
Yun Muzhou got out of the car and looked at the afterglow of the setting sun shining on the small medicine shop, adding a few rays of tranquility and peace to it.
She walked up the steps, pushed open the wooden door of the pharmacy and went in.
A young man in his twenties was sitting at the counter, studying a medicinal plant. When he heard someone coming, he stood up quickly and asked, "Please come in, sir, and see what you need?"
"I'm looking for Whale Qiong," she said.
The man was stunned and checked several times, but found that he didn't recognize the person in front of him at all. He put down the medicinal materials and said: "I am Jing Qiong, what do you want, girl? Do you want to prepare medicine?"
"I..." Yun Muzhou paused and asked again: "Are you really Whale Qiong? I thought the person with this name should be a woman."
"I'm right. My grandfather gave me the name. What can I do?" The man scratched his head, feeling a little distressed.
Yun Muzhou looked at the drug store and found that there was only one man inside, so he directly stated his intention.
"My grandfather told me before that if I have something to do, I should come here to find a person named Whale Qiong."
The man's eyes lit up, he stood up and stared at Yun Muzhou closely: "Are you from the Yun family?"
"Yes." Yun Muzhou nodded with a smile.
A hint of sadness appeared in Jing Qiong's eyes, but he quickly covered it up. He said, "You can see what kind of medicine you want to buy. Although our store in Asakusa is small, it is sure to be honest and of high quality and low price."
When Yun Muzhou turned around, he saw someone coming outside.
This person is none other than Fei Xuan.
She suddenly became uneasy. Was Fei Xuan following her?
Fei Xuan came in from the outside, his eyes just glanced at her face, and then he looked at Jing Qiong: "Come with me and help me heal someone."
"I won't be visiting the doctor." Jing Qiong looked calm and sat back down again.
Fei Xuan said: "You can drive as much money as you want. You must go on this trip."
The man became angry: "Do you think I am someone who is short of money? I opened this pharmacy just to kill time. If I am happy today, I can close the shop and go out to hang out all day. Why, you didn't listen.
Did you say that I, Jingqiong, have a reputation for not doing my job properly?"
He said with an indifferent expression, "My Asakusa Church only sells medicine, not treats people. Don't even ask me to go there, even if you bring people here, I won't show them."
Fei Xuan looked at Yun Muzhou and sneered: "It's not you!"
He stretched out his hand and grabbed Whale Qiong.
Yun Muzhou was angry and pushed him away from the side: "Fei Xuan, are you still unreasonable? Haven't you heard that he only sells medicine and doesn't treat people? Someone in your family is sick, please go to the imperial doctor!"
Fei Xuan's eyebrows were cold and he smiled angrily: "Who is he to you? Why do you speak for him? Yun Muzhou, human life is at stake, don't mess around!"
Yun Muzhou was quite surprised. His first reaction was that something happened to King Han?
"Who is it? Your adoptive father?" she asked.
"No, don't worry about who it is. In short, it was Jiuxie who asked me to find this person." Fei Xuan said coldly.
Yun Muzhou looked at Jing Qiong: "Do you know a person named Jiuxie?"
Jing Qiong shook his head and said with absolute certainty: "I don't know him."
A trace of confusion flashed in Fei Xuan's eyes, but he quickly calmed down: "You really don't know Jiuxie? Even if you don't, you still have to go."
