Super rare beast girl, run away! The emperor's uncle is coming!

Chapter 210 Citywide Search

Qi Huaijin raised his eyebrows and told him to bring two guards to protect the two of them. If anything went wrong, not only his uncle, but he himself would not be able to get through.

"Ah? Oh! Don't worry, Dad."

Qi Wenyuan touched his nose helplessly and glanced at Qu Jingyao and the other person.

Qi Huaijin gave a few more instructions before leaving.

Qi Yuyao, who got on the carriage, chattered non-stop like a bird that had been set free.

Qi Wenyuan sat opposite the two of them, curling his lips in a helpless smile.

"Yao'er, the shop will open in two days. My uncle has already sent invitations to all his friends. If there is anything else you need my help with, please let me know."

She curled her lips into a smile and nodded slightly: "Well, everything in the shop is almost ready, don't worry, little uncle."

The streets are quite lively today, with a lot of traffic, comparable to that of the capital.

When Qu Jingyao got on the car, she took Xiaohuo and Haidongqing with her.

"Yao'er, you actually have a Saker Falcon?" Qi Wenyuan blinked in surprise. What else did that girl not have?

The carriage soon arrived at the city gate.

"Fourth brother, why are there so many guards on the streets today? When did the number of people checking at the city gates increase?"

Qi Yuyao looked at the situation outside through the car window, muttering with displeasure on her face, "I finally got out, but it was so troublesome."

Qu Jingyao smiled and patted the back of her hand.

"I heard that something happened in the palace yesterday. The emperor ordered a city-wide search, and everyone entering and leaving must be questioned. In addition, Concubine Qi's mother's family was imprisoned early this morning."

When Qi Yuyao heard this, she covered her mouth in horror.

In contrast, Qu Jingyao was much calmer.

Qu Jingyao stuffed the letter into the bamboo tube at the feet of the Saker Falcon, stroked its body and whispered, "It's a bit far this time, but thank you for your hard work."

This letter was written to her family because she was afraid that her mother would worry.

At this moment, the voice of the commander of the Imperial Guards came from under the carriage: "Routine inspection, the emperor has ordered it, no matter who it is."

The driver said helplessly that the carriage contained the women of the palace...

Qi Wenyuan's brows knitted tightly together, and he reached out to lift the carriage curtain: "Let Commander Li check it out."

"So it's the Fourth Young Master Qi and your sister! This girl is..."

He scanned the carriage, not missing anyone. When his gaze fell on the veiled Qu Jingyao, he paused, raised his eyebrows and asked Qi Wenyuan.

"This is your sister's friend, who happened to be going to Chanfeng Temple to pay homage."

"Take it off the face."

Commander Li did not relax just because they were from Haoshan Palace.

Qi Wenyuan's face darkened as soon as he said this. Qi Yuyao's eyes flashed with nervousness. This Yao'er's face was very similar to her aunt's. If he found out...

"It's not that I'm uncooperative, sir. I just have a rash on my face and I'm afraid it will infect those around me, so I have to wear a veil."

Qu Jingyao's eyes were clear and her words were sincere as she observed the commander's expression.

It would be a lie for the people in the car to say they weren't nervous.

Just then, a commotion was heard nearby. The commander waved his hand impatiently and said, "You are still running around in this state."

He turned and walked towards another carriage.

Qi Wenyuan ordered the driver: "Leave the city first."

"Yes."

The driver cracked his whip and urged the horses to drive out of the city.

Qi Yuyao in the carriage patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. It was a close call. If he had really discovered Yao'er's appearance, it would have been really troublesome.

The carriage soon passed through the pipeline and entered the forest path.

Qu Jingyao released the Saker Falcon in her hand.

"Go, take this letter back to your brother, and be careful on the way."

Only after watching the Saker Falcon flap its wings and fly away did she feel relieved.

"Are you sending a letter to Sister Jingle? To reassure her."

Qi Wenyuan was still thinking about what happened to Commander Li before. The matter in the palace must be serious, otherwise Commander Li would not appear at the city gate.

Qu Jingyao said softly that she would leave as soon as the shop opened.

There are still many things she needs to deal with at home. Once everything is settled, she will bring her mother back to visit her grandmother.

"What? Yao'er, you want to leave, but I can't bear to let you go. If you leave, I..."

Qi Yuyao's face immediately showed reluctance.

Qu Jingyao was chatting with her uncle at this time. Among the gifts her grandfather had given her were many shops and farms.

She also looked at those farms, each of which was quite large. She wanted to find two relatively secluded places to grow some crops. Since she was not around, she could only ask her uncle to help with this.

"Planting things, Yaoer, what do you plan to plant?" Qi Wenyuan asked with a smile, wondering why this girl thought of farming.

Generally, these farms are managed by the headman and his subordinates, and grain crops are grown there. Every year, except for the crops supplied to the family for food, the rest will be sold or stored.

"cotton!"

Qu Jingyao uttered two words softly.

Qi Yuyao and his sister were completely confused after hearing this. What kind of flower is cotton? Why do we need to plant it on a large scale on the farm?

Qu Jingyao looked at their surprised faces and explained softly.

"Uncle, this cotton isn't a real flower. It can keep you warm and can be spun into thread to make cloth. Although the cloth it makes isn't as luxurious, it's much better than linen and is also softer."

“Are there any crops like this?”

Qi Wenyuan's expression became extremely serious. If this thing could really replace animal fur, wouldn't it be...

"Yao'er wants to open a cloth weaving shop in Yanchu, and sell this kind of cloth?"

"That's what I planned, but considering the current situation of the Haoshan Palace and its relationship with the royal family... I plan to plant them secretly. These things can be stored and stored until later..."

Qu Jingyao expressed all her thoughts to her uncle.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to my uncle first."

The driver outside pulled the reins and said, "Fourth Young Master, we have reached the foot of Chanfeng Temple. The carriage can't go any further."

"Well, stop the car."

Qi Wenyuan was the first to get off the carriage. At this time, there were many people going to the temple to burn incense, and the Chanfeng Temple was also very popular.

Later, Qu Jingyao and his servants got off the carriage and looked at the scenery of Yanshan Mountain not far away. It was indeed beautiful. In the distance, the mountains were stacked and towering into the clouds. The lush green was very beautiful at a glance.

Qi Yuyao looked at the purple bamboo forest in the distance and happily pulled her to her side: "Yao'er, look, there is a waterfall behind the bamboo forest. The scenery is very beautiful."

As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled her towards the stone steps up the mountain.

Qi Wenyuan followed the two men with two guards.

"Miss, please slow down."

Qi Yuyao's personal maid trotted after her master.

Qu Jingyao was dragged up the stone steps by her aunt. Not far ahead, a familiar complaining voice came...
