After passing through the cannon fodder in the book, my brother turned out to be the male protagonis

Qu Yuan nodded and said: "Once a word is spoken, it is difficult to chase it."

The beggar swallowed and summoned up the courage to ask, "I wonder what the young master wants to know?"

"Just tell me what you know about the demons in Yuemin City." Qu Yuan said.

Hearing that they wanted to know such a thing, the beggars couldn't sit still, and they wanted to be the first to say something. Qu Yuan was afraid that something would happen if they continued to squeeze in like this, so he asked them to come one by one, and each person could only say one thing. Just say There will be money.

In an instant, the beggars were lined up one by one.

By the time Qu Yuan returned to Shangshu Mansion, it was already noon. As soon as he returned to the courtyard, he saw Fang Jingqiu waving to him, calling him to have dinner.

"Come on, come on, come and try it. The pig's trotters made by the chef of Shangshufu are amazing. I used to like them the most!"

Fang Jingqiu's eyes flashed and he pushed the pig's trotter towards Qu Yuan, asking him to try it quickly. Just when Qu Yuan was hesitating about how to eat this food, he looked up and saw Fang Jingqiu holding his arms without caring about his image at all. The pig's trotters are gnawing.

With a sudden thought, he also followed Fang Jingqiu's example and gnawed the pig's trotters. It turned out that what Fang Jingqiu said was true, and the pig's trotters in Shangshufu were really delicious.

After having enough wine and food, Fang Jingqiu patted his belly and sighed: "Sure enough, the food in the world is still delicious."

Qu Yuan told her the information he had collected, but when he saw the surprise on her face, he asked funnyly: "What's wrong, so surprised?"

Fang Jingqiu quickly calmed down his expression and said, "I was still thinking why you didn't come out when there was such a big movement this morning. It turns out that you went out to collect intelligence."

After reacting, Fang Jingqiu said slightly reproachfully: "Why don't you take me out with you!"

"The sun hadn't even risen when I went out. Qiuqiu, could you get up at that time?" Qu Yuan teased.

After being told that she was right, she scratched her head in embarrassment and said, "Then next time if you can't afford it so early, be sure to remember to call me!"

Qu Yuan smiled and nodded.

Fang Jingqiu originally thought that it would take less than a few days to complete this task, but in the blink of an eye, she had been staying in Yuemin City for almost a month, which made her a little irritable.

Not only was Fang Jingqiu irritable, but her aunt was also annoyed. Seeing that Fang Jingqiu had stayed in Shangshu Mansion for almost a month, she was afraid that Fang Jingqiu would never leave.

With Fang Jingqiu's temperament, how could her son inherit the Shangshu Mansion?

In the past few days, the third prince has become more and more displeased with the concubine in his residence. In the past month, he has seen Fang Jingqiu several times in the city, and the appearance of that girl has taken root in his heart.

It was obvious that Fang Jingqiu was not as good-looking as some of the concubines in the house, and her type was not what he liked, but as if she was destined, there was always a voice in his heart telling him: "You have to get her."

The third prince suspected that he was possessed by a demon. It happened that the emperor was going to the temple to pray for blessings, so he went with him, hoping to find a master to check for him. After all, there had been rumors of demons raging in the city recently.

Unexpectedly, he could still see Fang Jingqiu in the temple.

Fang Jingqiu heard that the emperor was going to the temple to pray for blessings, and thought that he should report their work progress to him, so he took Qu Yuan and put on a black cloak and went there.

When the emperor saw the two coming, he thought they had gotten rid of the demons, but he found no useful information.

Qu Yuan asked him: "The people in the city have not clearly felt the demon, but His Majesty has been talking about it. I wonder if you can tell us in detail?"

Speaking of this, the emperor's face turned red and hesitantly told them what happened.

The first time the emperor felt the presence of a demon was when he and his concubine were having an affair. In an instant, all the candles in the palace were extinguished. The concubine was so frightened that she screamed, and the steward guarding the door asked them what was wrong.

He just wrapped the two of them in quilts and asked the steward to light the lamp for them, but unexpectedly, as soon as he lit the lamp, it went out again.

This time, several people were completely frightened. The emperor lost interest and hurriedly packed up and left the palace.

For a period of time thereafter, every time the emperor stayed in a place, the lights in that place would always go out inexplicably.

Slowly, the emperor couldn't bear it anymore and sent a request to Tianyun Sect.

After listening to this, Fang Jingqiu couldn't help but feel speechless. This monster must be too evil. He would choose someone to act as a monster when he was in trouble. This made her think of a possibility.

"Your Majesty, have any concubines died mysteriously in the palace in recent years?" Fang Jingqiu asked.

The emperor thought for a while and said: "Yes, but only one died of dystocia."

Fang Jingqiu stood up in excitement, knocking the table out of place, and asked, "Who is it?"

"Concubine Jing is the mother of my third prince." The emperor was shocked by her.

Qu Yuan touched his chin thoughtfully, but Fang Jingqiu felt that the blood all over his body had gone cold.

Wasn't the third prince the one who tortured her to death in the original book?

She wanted to escape here just so that she would not be favored by the third prince in the future, but now the clues pointed to the third prince's mother and concubine, it was impossible for her not to contact the third prince.

At this time, Fang Jingqiu was in a dilemma.

When the two came out, Fang Jingqiu was in a daze and bumped into a man. Fortunately, Qu Yuan supported him and prevented him from sitting on the ground.

They gave the man a fist-cup salute, and without wanting to say anything, they walked around him and walked away.

The third prince had never met anyone who didn't salute him in this way. He was so angry that he shouted to the guards to arrest the two men in black cloaks.

When the steward heard the noise, he quickly came over to stop him: "The two adults are your Majesty's distinguished guests. Let's see who dares to touch them!"

Then he trotted to the third prince and persuaded him: "Your Majesty, third prince, calm down. If you have a lot of people, please let those two people go."

Fang Jingqiu couldn't hear what the third prince said later, but she was sure that the person she just bumped into was the third prince.

Qu Yuan has been paying attention to Fang Jingqiu since he came out. He found that his young lady seemed to be particularly sensitive to the third prince.

It can't be that the third prince bullied the young lady before in Yuemin City, right?

He thought that since the clue now pointed to Concubine Jing, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for him to investigate one more third prince.

Within a few days, Qu Yuan found out all the things about the third prince. Each of these things was more irritating than the last.

For example, riding a horse in the street and injuring people, raping women, and having concubines in the house, but there are always corpses coming out...

Qu Yuan felt that if he were a young lady, he would not want to deal with the third prince if he knew these things.

In an instant, he understood Fang Jingqiu's abnormal mood.

Fang Jingqiu has been investigating Concubine Jing for several days, but there has been no progress. People in Yuemincheng seem to be very secretive about Concubine Jing, and even refuse to mention her name.
