Chapter 87: The Scapegoat
As soon as Chi Xiaoman came out of the imperial study, he saw that Yu Chimu was already waiting outside, followed by Xiao Twelve, who was holding Xiaolian in his arms, but Xiaolian still hadn't woken up.
Alas...... What was Xiaolian thinking in her heart?
But if you can get out of here, you will always find a way.
"How?" Wei Chi Mu stepped forward, looking helpless, "I wanted to meet but was stopped, and no one was willing to inform me, obviously your father had given an order in advance and did not want to see me." Although he believed in Xiaoman's ability, he was afraid that Emperor Xuanyuan would deceive him, and if the emperor put Xiaoman under house arrest without saying anything, it would be bad. Thankfully, things didn't work out that way.
"My father really doesn't want to see you. Chi Xiaoman grinned, grimaced at him and said, "Who asked you to cheat his baby daughter, or Tianji Xing, so that he didn't recognize you as a son-in-law!"
"Is that really the case?" Wei Chimu nodded her nose with a smile, "Why don't I go and beg Lord Taishan to let you marry me?"
Knowing that she said this would be fine, even if Emperor Xuanyuan was dissatisfied with Xiaoman marrying him, he no longer held a resolute attitude of opposition.
"Well, I know you don't believe it. Xiao Man pouted and said: "You and I get married, my father just doesn't agree to it, so he has to accept it even if he is unhappy, but he is really unhappy, so you should not ask to see me, so as not to be bored." ”
In fact, she has no feelings for Emperor Xuanyuan's father, if it is her father in the twenty-first century, she will definitely ask Wei Chimu to build a good relationship.
This Xuanyuan Laozi...... It doesn't matter if the relationship is good or not! She doesn't know him well anyway.
"So what did you say when you went in? Your father agreed to let you go with me?" he was very curious about this, and every time Xiao Man gave him a big surprise, this time he couldn't see the conversation between Xiao Man and Emperor Xuanyuan with his own eyes. It really made him feel a little pity.
"Well, it's not just agreed to sign a non-aggression pact with Yasukuni. I also agreed to give me five years, and I'll tell you about it later in the festival. Then you just need to talk about the peace agreement between the Ning countries. Chi Xiaoman held his hand. Slowly in the direction of the front palace, he said as he walked.
Wei Chimu smiled: "My Xiaoman is really powerful, even a husband is a little jealous." ”
"You can't, you can do it with your ingenuity, but the premise is that my father is willing to see you, but at the moment it is probably impossible, Ning Guo's peace agreement, I think my father should hand it over to the crown prince to deal with." She thought so, after all, Yasukuni was not Emperor Jinglie himself.
"It doesn't matter who you give it to. I also intend to leave the matter of how to distribute the contents of this agreement to Cheng Shangshu and General Li. Yu Chimu said.
"Huh...... In my opinion, it is useless for the five cities of Ningguo to come to Yasukuni, the distance is not easy to manage, it is better to take more silver, enrich the treasury, and do more local construction. But let's see how Cheng Shangshu and General Li talk. When Chi Xiaoman said this, he suddenly laughed and whispered: "Do you remember when I said that I could take the opportunity to teach Cheng Shangshu a lesson?"
"Of course I remember, on the way here, I saw that you had been worried about Xiaolian. I didn't mention it to you. Have you already thought of a plan?" "In fact, back then, although he had a grudge against Cheng Shangshu, and he was even more angry that he even used his own daughter to calculate, but now. He no longer has the idea of retaliating against Cheng Shangshu, and Cheng Yin should also want to live well with the prince, after all, they both have children.
"Hmm. I think I can do this......" Xiaoman pulled his arm and told him to lower his body. Whisper her plans.
In the imperial study, Xuanyuan Yu was having a conversation with Emperor Xuanyuan.
Xuanyuan Yu said with some caution: "Father." The son has brought Liuxia back, can I ask my father to release the empress from prison?"
"Hmph!" Emperor Xuanyuan snorted heavily, "If it weren't for your mother's self-pretending wisdom and selfish desires, would Liuxia want to cheat her out of the palace? If she didn't leave the palace, how could she worry about her becoming a help to other countries now." ”
"Father, there is indeed something wrong with the queen mother, but at the beginning, Liuxia deceived the fact that the father and the emperor were the stars of heaven, and also deceived the queen mother and her sons, and the responsibility for this crime should not be attributed to the queen mother. ”
"You helped Liuxia leave the palace privately, and the responsibility is even worse than that of your mother, do you want me to imprison you too?" Emperor Xuanyuan said coldly.
Xuanyuan Yu pursed his lips and was silent.
The queen mother already had a dislike for Liuxia, and the murder of Liuxia's mother Concubine Yun was also conclusive, so the queen mother's guilt was ignored.
But his guilt, the cause of the incident is obviously that Liuxia concealed that she was a Tianji Star, and deceived him that she was not a Tianji Star, and even colluded with Master Yuan Zhi to testify in order to win his trust, so that he helped her leave the palace.
Now things have evolved like this, but he is the only victim who has become Liuxia's scapegoat.
This made him quite unhappy in his heart, but what could he do with Liuxia? Kill her? Not to mention that Jing and Ning would settle accounts with him, even his father would not let him go.
He finally saw the power of the Heavenly Machine Star today, no wonder it caused an uproar in the competition between the three kingdoms. She can quell the war with just one word, and I am afraid that she can raise it with just one word.
The future of the Three Kingdoms is unexpectedly controlled by a woman...... It's ridiculous, but it's also helpless.
"I'll talk about your mother's affairs later, and I have to teach her a lesson, so that she can reflect on her mistakes. However, I will not move on to the point where you have redeemed your merits and brought back Liuxia, and her position as queen will not be moved. Emperor Xuanyuan said with a compassionate look.
"The son thanked his father. Obviously, he was unwilling, but Xuanyuan Yu had to thank him deferentially.
"In order to strengthen your crown prince, I have something to do with you. Emperor Xuanyuan looked at him sharply and said, "I will give you a month to come up with a set of methods to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and if I can satisfy you, I will release your mother's imprisonment." ”
It is not difficult to come up with a method of raising and training soldiers, but it is difficult to achieve the results after implementation, and he believes that his father will also hand over this matter to him to deal with in the future. Once the results are not good...... I'm afraid that I or the queen mother will be unlucky again.
But if you don't receive the order, you are disobeying the holy will, and now you are not happy, so you have to say: "The son of the minister receives the order." ”
Emperor Xuanyuan smiled thoughtfully.

Returning to the place where the envoy from the former palace lived, Yu Chimu ordered Ji Minzhi and Xiaolian to be settled next to his and Chi Xiaoman's room, Chi Xiaoman was quite satisfied with this arrangement, she knew that this was for him to facilitate her to visit Xiaolian.
Chu Qianqian was naturally quite happy to see Yu Chimu come back, but she was not very happy to see Chi Xiaoman come back unharmed.
However, she also knew that if Chi Xiaoman was forced to stay with the emperor of the Shengxing Dynasty, Yu Chimu would not come back alone.
She was really jealous of Chi Xiaoman, jealous that she could get Yu Chimu's love.
"Lord Wang, Xiao Twelve has also been rescued, is it possible to return to Yasukuni?" Now in this place, not only the eyes of the emperor of the Shengxing Dynasty, but also the people of Cheng Shangshu, she should be very careful when she speaks, and she does not dare to call Wei Chimu the pavilion master.
"I have to stay for a few days, and the matter of the peace treaty between Ning Guo and the Shengxing Dynasty has not yet been discussed. Yu Chimu said lightly: "You have worked hard all the way, let's go down and rest first!"
"Lord ......"
"Qianqian, the prince is so considerate, why don't you go and rest quickly, do you still want to serve us to go to bed and rest?" Chi Xiao looked at her with a smile and said.
Chu Qianqian glared at Xiao Man viciously, "Who is going to serve you." After speaking, he was reluctant to leave, turned his head and mustered up the courage to say to Wei Chimu: "Lord Wang, let Qianqian serve you and rest." ”
"Your current status is the princess's slave maid, and it is enough for this king to have the princess to serve. Yu Chimu said coldly.
He felt a headache for Chu Qianqian. He naturally understood her intentions, in fact, Chu Qianqian was also quite beautiful, but he felt very strange, I don't know when it began, except for Chi Xiaoman, other women could no longer enter his eyes.
Qianqian stepped back. Chu Qianqian bit her lower lip and swallowed the bitterness in her heart. Yu Chi Mu didn't even look at her, at least the pavilion master still trusted her very much before, so she could become the hall master of the Shadow Pavilion Law Enforcement Hall.
But now everything has changed, and only Chi Xiaoman is left in the eyes of the pavilion master. It's all because of Chi Xiaoman's appearance, which ruined her Yiqiē, and she is still guilty, and even lost her position as the hall master.
She must ask Chi Xiaoman for this account back!
She fled in anger. Chi Xiaoman looked at her back and sighed. She knew that keeping Chu Qianqian by her side would always be a disaster, but she agreed to keep her by their side for a year.
Although she can be a villain for a while, let Wei Chimu order Chu Qianqian to return to the main altar, but she will despise herself if she does so.
She hates the most untrustworthy people, and how can she be like this.
"What's the matter? She's upsetting you? Or I'd better let her go back to the altar." Yu Chimu cupped Xiao Man's face and stroked the wrinkles between her brows.
"No, she may still be useful along the way. Chi Xiaoman let go of his eyebrows and smiled.
Wei Chimu could see that her smile was not sincere, and he knew what she was worried about, but he didn't know what he was worried about.
He was glad that she would be jealous of herself.
"Okay, then listen to you, leave her first. He looked at her with a smile and said, "After a few days of traveling, the lady should be tired, let the husband serve the lady rest, okay?"
Chi Xiaoman was a little shy by his lustful gaze, and said coquettishly: "You are not allowed to show such a squinting expression to other women." ”
Yu Chimu smiled, the jealous Xiaoman was really cute. He hugged her tightly and said, "In this life, I only have you in my eyes." ”
Chi Xiaoman hugged him back. With a smile on his face, he buried his head in his arms.
Alas, women love to listen to sweet words, and sure enough, they are no exception. (To be continued......)
