The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

As for the marriage, he must make it clear in advance and draw the boundaries early on to prevent others from abusing their power to force others to marry or act as matchmakers, causing a lot of trouble.

Also, those vulgar women should stay away from him, lest he feel disgusted!

The Third Prince and the Duke of Liang were ready to persuade him and expressed their desire to form an alliance with him by marriage, but when they heard him say this, they stopped what they were about to say.

We will plan the marriage slowly later.

The emperor nodded slightly, "I grant you a mansion, you can bring your family to live in the imperial capital, and you don't have to suffer in the countryside anymore."

The ministers thought of Bi Hai Xuan, where more than a hundred people from the Wei family died and blood flowed like a river. It was a haunted house and officials in the imperial capital would not take it over. Only this newly promoted general, who did not know the truth, dared to live in it.

"Yes!" Qi Yuanshuo replied respectfully, "On the 18th day of the first lunar month next year, I will marry the Princess of Qinghe County, and then we will move to the imperial capital together after we have settled our affairs in our hometown."

Qi Yuanshuo knew what the old man meant. If a general wanted to command an army, his family members had to stay in the imperial capital as hostages.

But it's not nice to be a hostage, so it means you don't have to suffer in the countryside.

"That's very good," the emperor smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

Next, it was time for all the ministers to report to the emperor. Qi Yuanshuo stood in his seat, frowned slightly, and said no more.

The emperor's vigorous spirit only lasted for the time of an incense stick. While the ministers were reporting to him, he was yawning continuously, and his dark yellow face was full of fatigue.

Qi Yuanshuo looked at him quietly, with deep hatred in his eyes.

This high and mighty man is his biological father and one of his most hated enemies.

After taking advantage of his mother and the Wei family, he brutally killed them without a trace of friendship!

It won't be long before he will expose the false face of the woman he loves most and the wolfish ambition of his beloved son, and make him watch them die before his eyes!

Let him kneel at his mother's grave and kowtow until death!

He will not let any of Qi Yuanyu, Concubine Liang Shufei, everyone in the Liang family, and their accomplices go!

Sister Xiaohuai is right. To deal with these people with heart and lung erosion and no bottom line, there is no need to present evidence. Just make their evil deeds public, and then use your absolute strength to make people believe that they are the culprits.

Whoever has the power speaks the truth!

Qi Yuanshuo lowered his eyes and clenched his fists secretly.

After the court was adjourned, the officials walked out of the Golden Palace.

The Third Prince and Duke Liang followed Qi Yuanshuo, "Young General, please stay!"

Qi Yuanshuo paused, concealed the coldness in his eyes, turned around and looked at the two of them indifferently.

The Third Prince bowed to Qi Yuanshuo, his innocent eyes full of sincerity: "Young General is new to the imperial capital, I welcome you very much. I am very interested in your story of conquering three cities. I wonder when you have time to come to my house for a drink and chat?"

Without waiting for Qi Yuanshuo to answer, Duke Liang laughed and said, "The young general and the third prince are of similar age, so they will definitely get along very well."

Qi Yuanshuo also bowed to the two of them and apologized, "I'm really sorry, I've only been in the imperial capital for a month, the new mansion hasn't been renovated yet, and I'm busy with work. I don't have time to visit your mansion for the time being. I'm really sorry."

After saying that, he bowed to the two of them again, turned around and left.

After Qi Yuanshuo walked away, the Third Prince smiled coldly, "Humph, you are such an ungrateful person!"

Duke Liang said in a low voice: "Be patient, maybe this is just a show for others to see, after all, so many people are watching. He is just from the countryside, it is not easy for him to gain a foothold in the court. If we marry him, his position will be secure. I don't believe that he will not be tempted."

Hearing this, the Third Prince looked around and saw the Fourth Prince standing in the distance, looking at him with a mocking expression.

The third prince snorted, and strode away with the Duke of Liang.

Qi Yuanshuo was walking through the long red-walled palace corridor when suddenly, a staggering figure fell in front of him. At the same time, a foul smell rushed towards the door.

He covered his mouth and nose, stopped, and saw clearly that it was an old eunuch with gray hair, scars on his face, and a hunched back.

The old eunuch was holding a chamber pot in his hand, which rolled to the ground and rolled into the corner.

In the narrow alley where the old eunuch fell, there were several young eunuchs who were gloating over his misfortune.

The old eunuch must have been kicked to the ground by them.

Qi Yuanshuo stepped forward to help the old eunuch up, then turned to the young eunuchs and shouted, "Which palace are you from? If you bully the old and weak again, I will go to the emperor and sentence you to death!"

Several young eunuchs' faces changed, and they immediately ran away, quickly disappearing into a corner alley. The old eunuch stared at Qi Yuanshuo, his old face full of shock. Realizing his own loss of composure, he hurriedly lowered his head and saluted Qi Yuanshuo, "Thank you, General, for your help."

Seeing that he was dressed in tattered clothes and looked extremely thin, Qi Yuanshuo thought that he must be the lowest-ranking eunuch in the Xinzheku, Yexiang.

It was common for old and weak eunuchs to be bullied in the palace. Both the servants and their masters developed a snobbish and vicious character, trying to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy and trample on those who were lower in status than themselves.

Qi Yuanshuo took out a banknote and stuffed it into his hand, "Take it, buy some nice clothes and eat better in the future."

The old eunuch's eyes fell on Qi Yuanshuo's right hand. There was a very shallow scar at the second joint of the slender middle finger of his right hand. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see it at all.

"Uncle?" Qi Yuanshuo reminded.

The old eunuch took the banknote and knelt down hurriedly, "Thank you, General! Thank you, General! General, I will always remember your great kindness."

After saying that, he stood up and ran to the corner, picked up the stinking dung bucket, and ran into the alleys behind the high palace walls.

What Qi Yuanshuo didn't know was that the old eunuch's eyes turned red after he turned around.

He leaned against the wall, hid the banknotes into his waist pocket with trembling hands, and staggered towards the toilet room in the palace where feces was stored, carrying the toilet bucket.

There were several wooden carts carrying toilets parked in the toilet, but because of the stench, few people came.

There is a remote and narrow room in the northwest corner, which is where the old eunuch lives.

The old eunuch placed the chamber pot on the chamber pot cart and walked straight to the small room. After opening the door, he turned around and looked around vigilantly.

After entering the room, the old eunuch closed the doors and windows tightly. Still not feeling reassured, he propped a wooden stick against the door.

Then he moved the wooden table against the north wall and took away a plank, revealing a few loose blue bricks. He pulled out the bricks one by one, and soon a black hole appeared on the wall that was only wide enough for one person to pass through.

The old eunuch crawled into the cave, went down a meter or two along the wooden ladder, and arrived at a narrow basement.

The light in the basement is not too dark because there is a hollow ceiling on the top, which allows light to shine in.

Whoever dug this basement made good use of the terrain.
