Chapter 721: I want to be quiet

Halfway through the funeral of the Ninth Princess, Emperor Ming Kangdi was finally out of the customs, and the first thing he did after leaving the customs was to invite Wei Wuxian to ask questions.

Facing Wei Wuxie's familiar old face, Emperor Ming Kangdi felt inexplicably a little nervous for the first time, leaned back on the dragon chair, cleared his throat and asked, "Wei Wuxie, during the period of my retreat, nothing special happened outside the palace, right?"

"Nope. "Wei Wuxian has already begun to think about how to report the death of the Ninth Princess to Emperor Ming Kang.

"That's good. Emperor Ming Kangdi was obviously relieved, lest Wei Wuxian would see it, so he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Wei Wuxian lowered his head and remained motionless.

Emperor Ming Kangdi put down the teacup and frowned: "Something else to say?"

Wei Wuxian lowered his head: "Your Majesty, although nothing special happened outside the palace, but inside the palace-"

The corners of Emperor Ming's eyes twitched: "Say, what happened in the palace?"

"The Ninth Princess has passed away. ”

Ming Condi didn't react for a while.

Wei Wuxian stood in an orderly manner, not saying a word.

At this time, taking the initiative to open your mouth is to find death, so let the emperor slow down.

After a long time, Emperor Ming Kangdi asked, "Is the Ninth Princess the one with a better appearance?"

This retreat has progressed a bit, reaching the realm of selflessness in the unity of heaven and man, and many mundane things are not well remembered.

Wei Wuxie's expression was a little wonderful for a moment, but fortunately, because he lowered his head and would not be seen: "Your Majesty Shengming, the Ninth Princess's complexion is overwhelming." ”

"I remembered that her mother was a concubine. Emperor Ming Kangdi came back to his senses and frowned even deeper, "How did the Ninth Princess die?" ”

"The slave maid asked the imperial doctor privately, and the ninth princess should be ...... Died of poisoning ......"

Emperor Ming Kangdi's eyes shrank, and he quickly asked, "What about Champion Hou's fiancée?"

Wei Wuxian had to admire their emperor, who seemed to ignore mundane matters on weekdays, and reacted quickly on key matters.

"Champion Hou's fiancée is very well, and she went out to buy books in a famous study in Beijing yesterday. ”

went to the famous study to buy books, which means that now everyone in the capital knows that the fiancée of the champion Hou is very good, so the previous emperor's idea can only be frustrated.

Speaking of which, that Li San girl is really a smart person.

Emperor Ming Kangdi rubbed his eyebrows, obviously thinking of this as well, and suddenly felt congested.

"You just said that the Ninth Princess died of poisoning, so was she poisoned by someone, or did she commit suicide by taking poison?"

Wei Wuxian bowed his head and said, "The poison in the Ninth Princess is the same as the bottle of poison that Concubine Li got from Niangniang. ”

Emperor Ming Kangdi understood what Wei Wuxian meant.

"Is she crazy?"

Wei Wuxian bowed his head and did not answer.

The ninth princess was not crazy, but she was too bold to dare to fake her death and escape from the palace.

In those two days, he sent someone to quietly investigate, and the primary target was Loei, who let the ninth princess go to Loei with a mission, and after coming back, there is a good chance that the third girl Li was killed by taking poison and cheating.

Unexpectedly, Loei was surrounded by people from Champion Hou, because he was investigating privately and could not reveal the identity of Dongchang, so he could only stalemate with the other party. There is still no whereabouts of the ninth princess, and it is even more difficult for him to report to the emperor.

The emperor has long been eager to clean up the champion Hou, but at present, the big beam is inseparable from the champion Hou, even if the emperor is dissatisfied, he has to give himself a step down, if he makes this matter clear before he catches the ninth princess, this is not to add to the emperor's blockage.

The emperor is not happy, where can he have a good life as a person who serves closely.

Wei Wuxian made up his mind, if he caught the ninth princess, he would bring it back to the emperor, and provide a charge for the emperor to settle accounts with the champion Hou Qiuhou in the future, if he couldn't catch someone, then the matter would be concluded with the death of the ninth princess, in short, he couldn't make trouble for himself.

"I'm really angry!" In front of his henchmen and eunuchs, Emperor Ming Kangdi had nothing to hide, so he grabbed the teacup and threw it to the ground.

The teacup was split in an instant, and the palace people guarding the door quietly retreated a little farther away.

"Wei Wuxie!"

"The slave is here. ”

"Could it be that during the days of my retreat, there was not a good thing inside and outside the palace?"

If he retreats once, he will either die of a close person, or he will be beaten to the outskirts of Beijing by the Tartars, what does this mean?

Could it be that he is afraid that he will soar into an immortal and leave the foundation of the beam alone?

But he didn't think that he would be free alone after becoming an immortal, but he was ready to sit down for a long time, after all, it was passed down to him by his ancestors, and he didn't rest assured that he would hand it over to anyone.

"Yes, yes. Wei Wuxian saw that Emperor Ming Kang was going crazy, so he hurriedly comforted.

Emperor Ming Kangdi barely calmed down and squinted at Wei Wuxie: "Then tell me, what's the good thing?"

Wei Wuxian racked his brains and pondered, the cold sweat was about to come down, and under the forced gaze of Emperor Ming Kang, he flashed and said, "One of Prince Rui's concubines is happy." ”

Emperor Ming Kang's face eased when he heard this: "Oh, King Rui, is there a queen?"

He now has a total of two sons, King Rui and King Mu.

If his path of immortality is not completed, this position will still be passed on to one of his sons in the future. Anyway, he and his two sons haven't seen each other much, and King Rui is older, so he naturally prefers to grow up in terms of etiquette.

It's just that King Rui has never had a queen, which is really reassuring. King Rui's concubine is happy, which is indeed a good thing.

"Wei Wuxie, you go and draw up a gift list to reward King Rui's concubine. ”

It is a rare joy that deserves to be commended.

"Yes. Wei Wuxian breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally took the affairs of the ninth princess smoothly as the emperor, is it easy for him, a eunuch with a pen?

"Go, I want to be quiet. ”

He had to think about the big thing of retreat.

King Rui has been in a good mood recently, for no other reason, after the expiration of the one-year period said by Doctor Li, he began to work hard, and found that he was much stronger than before, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is very powerful.

It's nice to be a man, if not for the sake of the offspring.

King Rui thought that it might not be long before he heard the good news from the other concubines.

"Lord Wang, Grandpa Wei is here. ”

King Rui was shocked when he heard that Wei Wuxian was coming.

Wei Wuxian is not an ordinary eunuch with a pen, or the admiral of Dongchang, what is he doing in Rui Wangfu?

He hasn't done anything out of the ordinary these days.

"Lord Wang, it should be a good thing that Grandpa Wei came this time, and the student saw that the few little eunuchs he brought were holding brocade boxes. ”

King Rui's hanging heart was put down, and he hurriedly greeted him.

"Congratulations to the prince. "Wei Wuxie has more smile lines in the face of King Rui than before," the emperor heard that the prince had good news, and specially ordered our family to come and congratulate the prince. ”

My father still remembers me!

King Rui was simply stunned by this good news, and said happily: "Joy, joy." ”

Wei Wuxie: "......" is too much, isn't this a knife in the heart of a rootless person!
