Shocking Mountain Moon

Chapter 84 Hu Si's Idea

Xue Han's word "again" made Qiu Heng raise her eyebrows.

It seems that when they met at the city gate, he was sure that she was injured.

"Why does Lord Xue ask this again?" The girl tilted her head, looking confused.

Xue Han said bluntly: "I smelled blood from Miss Qiu Liu, and that time too..."

Miss Qiu Liu is a person with secrets and is frequently injured, forcing him to investigate.

Qiu Heng had been trying to stay strong and endure the shoulder injury since she entered the palace. Now, being interrogated by the "culprit" who hurt her last night, it was hard for her to look happy.

"Lord Xue, do you really want to know the reason?" She took a step closer to Xue Han.

Xue Han couldn't help but tense up.

I have never been so close to a woman except the girl in front of me.

Although she was famous for making perfume, she seldom used it on herself. Yet today, there was a faint fragrance on her body, light but lingering.

It turned out to be a koi scent pendant - Xue Han lowered his eyes and discovered the scent pendant hanging around the girl's waist.

Such a fat fish...

After this thought flashed through his mind, Xue Han suppressed the strangeness in his heart and said calmly, "Yes."

Qiu Heng smiled: "Then what is the position of Lord Xue in wanting to know the reason? Is it the concern of a friend, or the suspicion of the imperial envoy?"

Xue Han looked at the smiling girl and answered, "It's both."

"Then it seems that we have to tell the truth." Qiu Heng lowered her eyes slightly and spoke softly, "Master Xue, don't you know that women do this every month?"

Xue Han was stunned, but from Qiu Heng's reaction he had a feeling that it would be bad if he continued asking.

He wisely suppressed his doubts and decided to find the answer himself.

As they were talking, the two arrived at the carriage.

"Lord Xue, please stay." Qiu Heng got on the carriage, lifted the curtain, and waved to Xue Han.

Xue Han watched the carriage go away and returned to the Imperial City.

Hu Si just happened to come back and was called over by Xue Han.

"What are your orders, sir?"

"Ask you something."

"My lord, please tell me."

"The woman smells of blood, but she's not injured. Why is that?"

Hu Si was stunned by the question: "Sir, have you been deceived? What else could this be but an injury?"

Seeing Hu Si's matter-of-fact look, Xue Han felt like he was being stupid.

Like him, Hu Si lost his mother early and had no wife, so he didn't know any more than him.

Seeing that Xue Han took this question very seriously, Hu Si suggested, "I think the doctor must know. My lord, you are very familiar with Doctor Xu, why don't you ask him?"

Xue Han thought this was a good idea and immediately left the city to go to Xu Bo.

When Xu Bo saw Xue Han, his beard blew up: "Why are you here again?"

"I have a question I would like to ask Uncle Xu."

Xu Bo stretched out his hand: "Give it to me."

Xue Han didn't react: "What?"

"Didn't you say you would bring me some snacks? Where are the snacks?" Uncle Xu asked bluntly.

Xue Han was stunned.

Oops, forgot.

"Forgot?" Xu Bo asked unhappily.

I knew this brat was just trying to coax him by saying he brought snacks.

Xue Han hurriedly tried to save the situation: "It's not that I forgot, it's that the snacks I wanted to bring to Uncle Xu were not available at the snack shop, so a friend made them at home. I came here on short notice today and didn't have time to prepare them."

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Xu Bo felt a little surprised when Xue Han said that they were snacks from a friend's house.

This kid has a friend who can share snacks with him? How rare.

"A woman was not injured, but she smelled of blood. Why?"

Xu Bo's expression became strange: "Are you sure she is not injured?"

Xue Han nodded.

Uncle Xu stared at the serious young man for a long time without saying a word.

"Uncle Xu?"

"That's true." Xu Bo smiled maliciously, "When a girl is 27, her menstruation starts on time, so she can have children."

Menstruation - Xue Han was struck by lightning, and his face turned red like a shrimp. Xu Bo smiled and said, "This is a natural thing. There is nothing to be embarrassed about."

Xue Han was not comforted.

He chased Miss Qiu Liu and asked twice!

"Uncle Xu, I have something urgent to attend to, so I'll leave first. I'll come to see you another day." Xue Han fled in a panic and was still in a daze when he returned to the Imperial City Division.

Hu Si popped out from nowhere and asked, "Sir, have you found out?"

Xue Han glanced at him and pointed at the door: "Get out."

Hu Si was confused and walked out while muttering: "Why are you so angry when you don't share what you have learned?"

Xue Han picked up the book and covered his face with it. The scent of ink entered his nose and he sighed softly.

Qiu Heng returned to Yongqing Marquis's Mansion to see the old lady.

The old lady had been waiting anxiously, and when she saw Qiu Heng was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't even get into any trouble.

"How was the conversation with your elder sister?" the old lady asked after letting Qiu Heng sit down beside her.

"I didn't talk to my elder sister for a while before I went to see the imperial concubine."

The old lady's relaxed smile faded away, and her voice rose unconsciously: "Did you go to see the Imperial Concubine?"

My God, the Imperial Concubine is famous for her unpredictable behavior. A minister once lost his job because of a word from Imperial Concubine Yu.

"What did the Imperial Concubine say?"

"She asked about the champagne and asked me to make her a pair of champagnes."

"That's it?" The old lady's heart relaxed.

"Then His Majesty came."

The old lady swayed and asked, "Did you see His Majesty?"

Qiu Heng nodded: "The Imperial Concubine suggested that I go to the palace to build an incense pavilion——"

The old lady covered her heart: "And then?"

This restless girl, tinkering with those broken incense sticks every day, now she has gotten herself into trouble!

Concubine Yu is such a vicious woman, no wonder people call her a witch behind her back!
The old lady cursed in her heart and her face turned black.

"When His Majesty heard me declare my identity, he did not agree."

The old lady first breathed a sigh of relief, then wondered, "What's wrong with you revealing your identity?"

When you hear that it is a declining baronial mansion, you won't have to worry about anything anymore.

"Your Majesty thought my name sounded familiar, so I said I was Qiu Liu, the one who sued Han Wu's son."

The old lady closed her eyes and waved her hand: "Go back to your room and rest."

Leave her alone.

"Granddaughter resigns."

After Qiu Heng left, the old lady sighed to her confidant, "What should we do with this girl?"

The confidant nanny smiled and said, "Although Sixth Miss's behavior is unusual for a boudoir, the result is good, so you can rest assured."

The old lady fell into deep thought: It seems so...

In the palace, the eunuch asked Emperor Jingping which concubine he would visit tonight.

Emperor Jingping opened his mouth to mention the imperial concubine, but for some reason a beautiful face flashed through his mind.

Since my younger sister is like this, I think my older sister will not be bad either.

"Let's just say Beauty Qiu."

The eunuch thought he had heard it wrong, and confirmed carefully: "Is it Lady Qiu from Hibiscus Palace?"

As far as he could remember, the current emperor had only favored Concubine Qiu a few times when she first entered the palace, and he never paid any attention to her again after that.

"Is there any other beautiful lady Qiu in other palaces?"

"Slave, I'll make arrangements now."

The eunuch went to Furong Palace in person and informed Concubine Qiu that Emperor Jingping would come over in the evening.

Even after the eunuch had left for a long time, Concubine Qiu was still in a daze.

"Congratulations, beautiful lady." The palace maids gathered around and congratulated her.

Lady Qiu slowly came back to her senses and smiled coolly.

"Let's all get ready."
