"I know, what? You want those four major restaurants?"
Qin Yun said solemnly, "Your Majesty, your subject suspects there is a problem with the four major restaurants!"
"Tell me about it!"
"Before, I secretly disguised myself and went to Chunyue Restaurant! The first floor was the same as any other restaurant, with no anomalies and normal business, but the second and third floors were rather difficult to speak of!"
Qin Yun lowered his head in embarrassment when he mentioned the second and third floors!
But Xie Qianmo's focus was on, "You disguised yourself and went to Chunyue Restaurant?"
Qin Yun nodded without much thought. "Yes! Your subject is the top scholar of the dynasty. If I were to appear before the common people, they would naturally recognize me!"
"Furthermore, if I went to Chunyue Restaurant openly, I wouldn't get the results I wanted!" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Xie Qianmo agreed. "You make a lot of sense!"
"Just now in the hall, you knew the cloth store of shopkeeper Wang like the back of your hand. Did you also go in disguise?"
Qin Yun nodded. "Of course I had to disguise myself. How else could I investigate cases? These old foxes are all very cunning!"
Xie Qianmo did not reply.
He suddenly remembered something Leng Ye had said!
A few days ago, Qin Yun had injuries to his knees and elbows. Before the injury, Leng Ye had been lurking in the Grand Scholar's residence. Apart from two maids going out, Qin Yun had not left his room at all.
The very next day, Qin Yun took a small piece of gold-threaded fabric and came to him for verification.
So... did Qin Yun's disguise and going out mean dressing as a woman?
If she really disguised herself as a woman, no one would have thought it was her.
Although he had many questions, Xie Qianmo did not voice them.
He felt it was best to observe first.
"If you want to investigate the four major restaurants, Chunxia Qiudong, feel free to do so. I support you!"
With Xie Qianmo's support, Qin Yun felt a hint of sweetness in her heart.
"Your Majesty, your subject has one more matter. I don't know if I should speak of it."
Xie Qianmo curved his lips. "You want to talk about Li Fengsheng?"
Qin Yun looked at Xie Qianmo with wide-eyed shock. "Your Majesty, how did you know?"
"You've actually wanted to deal with Li Fengsheng for a long time, but you just haven't had a suitable opportunity."
Qin Yun lowered her head. Was it that obvious that she wanted to deal with Li Fengsheng?
Xie Qianmo: It was very obvious, it was all written on your face!
"Can you tell me why you are targeting Li Fengsheng? I had someone investigate you, and there is no enmity between you."
When Qin Yun first started targeting Li Fengsheng, he had begun to be curious and had sent someone to investigate Qin Yun and Li Fengsheng.
According to the information found, the two had no previous interactions, nor any enmity.
Yet, every time Qin Yun looked at Li Fengsheng, she wished she could strangle him.
This was something he had always found inexplicable.
Qin Yun gritted her teeth and said stiffly, "Li Fengsheng is not a good person at all!"
"But he has not engaged in corruption or harmed the common people. Of course, he has his flaws, some are opportunistic and like to put on a show, but these are not capital offenses!"
"Qin Yun, you are not someone who makes trouble without reason, nor do you hate someone for no reason. Can you tell me why you hate Li Fengsheng so much?"
Hearing Xie Qianmo's words, Qin Yun's heart turned cold.
She had investigated for three years in the court.
Li Fengsheng, that scoundrel, had indeed not embezzled or taken lives carelessly.
But this did not mean he was a good person.
Qin Yun protested against Xie Qianmo's words, but she didn't say them, only feeling uncomfortable in her heart.
Three years ago, the Xiang family in Yangzhou!
She would not forget Li Fengsheng and Li Tingting's deception!
Li Fengsheng had defected to Prince Duan at that time.
Even though Prince Duan had not appeared during this period, she still remembered that person's ruthlessness.
The Xiang family was the wealthiest in Yangzhou!
Three years ago, Prince Duan, in order to contend for the throne, lacked financial resources and used Li Fengsheng as bait.
What a pity!
Although the Xiang family was gone three years ago!
Prince Duan, Xie Wuyou, did not become emperor, and was eventually intercepted by the obscure Xie Qianmo.
It was truly heaven's blessing!
"What are you thinking about? You look so worried!" Xie Qianmo pointed to his chest. "It's time."
Qin Yun immediately snapped back to attention.
She focused her attention and removed the needle for Xie Qianmo.
During the needle removal, Xie Qianmo did not disturb Qin Yun.
As soon as Li Fengsheng was mentioned, Qin Yun's emotions became unstable.
She even often zoned out.
What was going on between her and Li Fengsheng?
Xie Qianmo really wanted to know. Perhaps only the person in front of him could provide the answer, but if she didn't say, he couldn't force her.
After the acupuncture session, Qin Yun didn't say much and prepared to leave.
But Xie Qianmo embraced Qin Yun from behind.
"Your Majesty, you haven't put on your dragon robe yet. This is not appropriate for us!" Qin Yun pushed Xie Qianmo a few times, but the difference in strength made it impossible for Qin Yun to budge him.
"I just want to tell you! No matter what you do, I will support you and protect you from behind! I am your backup. Do what you want, and if anything happens, I will cover for you!"
Such a heartfelt declaration left Qin Yun standing there stunned.
The scoundrel was truly good to her.
So good that she wanted to give herself to him.
However, she couldn't reveal her true identity yet.
As long as Li Fengsheng and Prince Duan were not dealt with, she would continue to wear her false disguise.
After she achieved her revenge!
She would then confess her guilt and express her gratitude.
At that time, whether Xie Qianmo killed her or spared her, she could accept it calmly.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your affection towards your subject!" Qin Yun raised the corner of her mouth slightly, genuinely thanking Xie Qianmo.
"Why thank each other? Don't forget, you are my secret Imperial Husband. It's only natural for me to help my own Imperial Husband."
Hearing Xie Qianmo start being ambiguous again!
Qin Yun hastily said, "Only half an Imperial Husband. Your Majesty, don't push your luck."
Xie Qianmo tightened his embrace. "We've slept in the same bed. What are you shy about?"
Qin Yun added another blow. "We just slept, Your Majesty. Don't talk nonsense."
Xie Qianmo bit Qin Yun's earlobe in defiance. "Tell me, when can we... stop just sleeping! I want to do something substantial!"
Qin Yun understood Xie Qianmo's meaning instantly!
In her mind, images of men doing "that" with each other flashed.
It seemed a bit awkward.
Even though she wasn't a man!
As the saying goes, "male and female work together, and labor is not tiring."
But in Xie Qianmo's eyes, she was a man.
In any case, she couldn't play the game between men.
She would stall for as long as she could.
Until the day the truth was exposed, she would fiercely resist Xie Qianmo's urge to go all the way.
"Your Majesty, I will become your true Imperial Husband when I am ready."
"What is there to prepare? I am ready anytime!"
Qin Yun's forehead began to sweat.
"Your Majesty, your subject still has many things to do! When the time is right, I will agree to all your requests, but... now is not the time!"
Xie Qianmo turned around and looked affectionately at the extremely handsome man in front of him.
The affection in Qin Yun's eyes made Xie Qianmo very satisfied.
If he hadn't been sure of Qin Yun's feelings before, at this moment, Qin Yun's feelings were all written on her face.
This kid wasn't completely indifferent to him either.
Their eyes met.
At this moment, Qin Yun's hand involuntarily hugged Xie Qianmo's waist.
The rare tenderness made Xie Qianmo instantly lose control.
He lowered his head!
And deeply kissed Qin Yun.
