Quick Wear: This Cannon Fodder is Delicate and Expensive

Chapter 313: Don’t Touch the Fox’s Tail (40)

After an unknown amount of time, the tightly closed shop door was opened from the inside with a creaky sound.

The night was like a black cloth. Shi Qi and Zhao Chang came out of the shop and got on the carriage.

In the carriage, Shi Qi looked at the thick box wrapped in cotton cloth and suddenly hesitated.

It's true that she wants to save her life in the court, but if this thing really involves the secrets of the royal family, it will not be a good thing for her.

"Sir, you have been looking for it for so long, why don't you open it and take a look? If you open it, you will know what happened back then." Zhao Chang asked.

Shi Qi came back to his senses, sighed softly, and slowly opened the box.

The box really contained the missing piece of paper, as well as two worn-looking notebooks.

Shi Qi picked up the yellowed testimony, which read:

'What I am going to say is a major event in the court. Now that I know I cannot escape the blame, I must expose it for the sake of the people of the Xuanyuan Dynasty. The current Queen Mother has bad intentions. She bribed the midwife and the rural women to give birth to a girl instead of a boy. Now the princess has been killed, and the Xuanyuan Dynasty has a lowly boy ruling the world! It is simply unacceptable! If you do not believe me, I have the Xiaomo Village maternity register and the midwife's notes as evidence.'

"I know I am powerless to fight back, so I have no choice but to plead guilty, tear off this page early, and hand it over to my old friend in the coffin shop. I hope the truth will come out one day..."

When Shi Qi saw the end, his heart was pounding and he was shocked.

'Give birth to a girl and change it to a boy...Give birth to a girl and change it to a boy!'

In other words... Xuanyuan Wuhen is not of royal descent?

In fact, the Queen Mother gave birth to... a princess!? In order to secure her position as Queen, the Queen Mother replaced the Crown Prince with a cat!?

This... this is a crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the clan!!

Shi Qi covered his mouth, afraid that he would scream out loud.

Zhao Chang saw that Shi Qi's face was pale, and asked with concern: "Sir, what's wrong with you? From the beginning... your face looks bad."

Shi Qi tried to calm down and shook his head: "It's okay, I just feel a little sorry that Lord Song, who has lived a life of integrity and honesty, has been dragged into this royal family dispute despite being wronged."

Zhao Chang was relieved: "Indeed, Lord Song is a well-known good official. It is really unexpected that he ended up collaborating with the enemy and having his entire family executed. Sir, give me this testimony and I will file it in the case file."

After Zhao Chang finished speaking, he wanted to take the box, but was rejected by Shi Qi.

"Let me have it first."

Although Zhao Chang was confused, he still nodded.

Shi Qi put away the box, calmed down, and sorted out his confused thoughts.

The male protagonist is still the male protagonist. He is born as a commoner but can be chosen to be the emperor.

The male protagonist has a very strong aura, so she is not worried about the impact of this matter being exposed on Xuanyuan Wuhen.

Furthermore, Xuanyuan Wuhen has been the emperor for the past few years. Although he is not good at politics and loves Qinyin, he is very good at governing the country and is famous for his benevolence and generosity. Except for Su Yi, the biggest political enemy, many people and officials respect him very much.

Even if everyone knew about this, they would only think that the Queen Mother had lost her moral integrity.

So, actually, the person that this box poses the greatest threat to is... the Queen Mother.

At present, it seems useless for her promotion. She can only threaten the Queen Mother to save her life at the critical moment.

Shi Qi sorted out her thoughts, put away the box, and lifted the curtains. The wind in the middle of the night was a bit bleak, which made her more sober.

I don't know how the child is doing over there.

"Hehe, sir, are you... thinking about the Immortal Lord?" Zhao Chang rolled his eyes and gossiped.

Shi Qi paused, blinked and looked at Zhao Chang, then subconsciously slapped him: "Hiss~ You kid, you are getting more and more presumptuous."

Zhao Chang covered his head and said aggrievedly: "That's right, you just have a crush on each other. I'm not stupid. I've seen the Immortal Venerable secretly come to the sect government to see you several times. Every time I found out, he said he came here to watch the butterflies dancing. Where are the butterflies in this sky..."

"I think it's almost certain that the Immortal Master likes you. The way the Immortal Master looks at you, wow ~ just like my male cat looking at a female cat, so sweet... Ouch! Why did you hit me again?" Zhao Changchang saw that Shi Qi was not angry, so he added, but was hit by Shi Qi again.

Shi Qi's mouth twitched and he withdrew his hand.

If you give this child a few days of smiles, he will think it is March.

"Children should stay out of the adults' business." Shi Qi recalled the classic lines of the adults and said, supporting his arms.

But Zhao Chang, this kid, was so arrogant that he came close to Shi Qi again, with a curious look on his face: "My dear, please tell me, do you... like that Immortal Lord too?"

"Although this immortal master has some abstruse Taoist magic, he is still of the second rank and has a bright future. Unlike that Taoist priest in immortal clothes, he doesn't even have a proper official position." Zhao Chang murmured.

Shi Qi listened to Zhao Chang praising the kid, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Look at your eloquence, it would be great if you could use it to investigate a case."

Zhao Chang curled his lips, shook his head and smiled: "Hey, since you are smiling, I will assume that you two like each other."

"Oh, I miss my lover~"

Shi Qi was originally feeling a little heavy-hearted, but after being teased by Zhao Chang, he felt completely better.

"Haha, well, if you keep talking nonsense, you'll be punished by copying the files when you get back."

The carriage went deeper and deeper into the alley, and the laughter became increasingly distant, gradually blending into the darkness.

……

Meanwhile, the Royal Palace.

Su Xiaoxiao had just finished applying the medicine and lay down. Just as she was about to close her eyes, she suddenly saw a figure flash by outside the window, acting stealthily.

He stood up warily and reached his fingers under the pillow.

"Who? Come out! Stop playing tricks there!" Su Xiaoxiao picked up the knife under the pillow and said sternly.

The figure outside the window paused, then opened his mouth.

"Queen, it's... it's me."

Xuanyuan Wuhen said, opening the window and poking his head out, looking quite cute: "Is the Queen asleep? I... have a bit of insomnia. I heard that the Queen is proficient in the zither. Do you want to... have a competition with her?"

In fact, he was just taking a walk and somehow ended up here with the Queen.

When Su Xiaoxiao saw that it was Xuanyuan Wuhen, she quickly put away the knife and immediately lost her sleepiness.

"Your Majesty, why...why didn't you inform me when you came? So that I could prepare in advance." Su Xiaoxiao stood up and quickly opened the door.

Xuanyuan Wuhen blinked and saw the woman limping in a nightgown with slightly messy hair. She no longer looked unapproachable as before, but instead had a more casual beauty.

"Why bother with etiquette? What's wrong with the Queen's foot? Why didn't you tell me that you were hurt?" Xuanyuan Wuhen frowned slightly and asked with concern.

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned, and her heart was warm: "It's just... It's okay, just a minor sprain. Doesn't the emperor want to play the piano? I'll go get it now..."

Su Xiaoxiao was about to pick up the piano when Xuanyuan Wuhen grabbed her wrist. The next second, she felt her feet leave the ground.

When I came to my senses, I was already in Xuanyuan Wuhen's arms.

"You're already injured, why are you still playing the piano? Be good and don't move."

Su Xiaoxiao's face turned red and her body stiffened.

Xuanyuan Wuhen felt the stiffness of the person in his arms and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I'm just rubbing your ankle, nothing else, so don't be afraid."

Su Xiaoxiao listened to Xuanyuan Wuhen's steady and powerful heartbeat, her face flushed, and her legs curled up nervously: "No...I'm not afraid."

She wanted to do that...

Xuanyuan Wuhen didn't even give her a chance!

The moonlight is sultry.

Inside the room, the woman on the bed was lying on her side shyly, and the man beside the bed was wearing a royal robe, massaging the woman's ankles with a serious look and gentle movements.
