Chapter XII
The inner hall of the government is brightly lit.
Listening to the report of the subordinates, a trace of anger flashed in Chu Yunxi's already cold eyes: "You say it again!" ”
"Your Highness, Your Highness." Lord Yao wiped the sweat from his forehead, and only felt that today's King Jing was extraordinarily imposing, "Then, those glasses are private salt." He didn't expect those people to be so bold and hide their private salt under their noses for so long. If someone hadn't accidentally poured water on it and melted some of the salt, they wouldn't have noticed it so quickly.
"Good, good, good, good Xiao Qi, you dare to play this king like this!" The palm of his hand slapped the table, and when he took it back, his palm was already red. Chu Yunxi didn't feel any pain, only the anger of being toyed with.
When Xia Fenglan saw it, she opened Chu Yunxi's palm and rubbed it carefully, with imperceptible distress in her eyes.
Chu Yunxi glanced down at Xia Fenglan, and somehow, most of the anger in his heart suddenly dissipated.
"Bring the glass up, this king wants to see it for himself." Chu Yunxi commanded.
"Your Highness." As soon as the order was finished, an officer and soldier came in and reported, "Lord Xiao Qixiao, the servant of the ministry, is outside asking to see you." ”
"Heh," Chu Yunxi sneered, "It's quite fast, let him go to the front yard and wait for this king." And he commanded that all men should keep watch around the court, and that they should not act rashly without the command of the king. ”
"Yes!"
In the gazebo in the front yard, a white figure is particularly eye-catching.
Xiao Qi, no matter what time it is, is dressed in white. The white-clothed scholar, elegant and modest, touched the hearts of countless girls in the capital.
Chu Yunxi looked at the white shadow in the pavilion, and his deep eyes crossed a ruthless look. She will never forget jì, in the snow, that ruthless back.
She will not let go of any of those who owe her.
"Yunxi, you're finally here." Seeing Chu Yunxi, Xiao Qi showed a gentle smile and reached out to touch Chu Yunxi's head.
"Presumptuous!" Chu Yunxi avoided Xiao Qi's touch, and said coldly, "What is your identity, the name of this king, can you also call it?" ”
"Yunxi, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Qi was a little surprised. When did Chu Yunxi see him with eyes full of admiration, what's wrong today?
"This king is the dignified King of Liuli Kingdom, what is your identity, but a small servant of the ministry, how can you call this king by his name. Neither weigh themselves. Don't forget, your position was given to you by this king! Chu Yunxi snorted coldly.
A hint of gloom flashed in Xiao Qi's eyes, he hated two things the most in his life. One is that he is said to have a low official position, and the other is that he is said to be in a woman's position. He thinks that his ability is not bad, but he is just unlucky and cannot be reused by the emperor. Chu Yunxi gave him this position, but it was himself who sat firmly in this position! It has nothing to do with her Chu Yunxi!
This woman, as she always was, was arrogant and arrogant, and looked like a benefactor, trampling his self-esteem under her feet. So he hates this woman, and he wants to tear up one of her pride, so that she can never raise her head in front of him again! Thinking like this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Xiao Qi's eyes, for this purpose, he could endure anything.
Glancing at Xiao Qi's expression, Chu Yunxi hooked the corners of her mouth, Xiao Qi knew her, why didn't she know this person? She knew exactly what to say to anger this person. But it's a pity that Xiao Qi still needs her now, and he definitely won't turn his face with her.
"His Royal Highness King Jing." Suppressing the hatred in his heart, Xiao Qi called respectfully.
"If only you could remember your humble status." Chu Yunxi didn't even look at Xiao Qi, as if a glance would lower her identity.
When Xiao Qi saw it, the two hands on his side clenched into fists, damn Chu Yunxi! Sooner or later, you will regret the insult you gave me today!
Chu Yunxi suddenly turned his head, and saw that Xiao Qi didn't have time to put away the haze, and raised his eyebrows, "What, you are very dissatisfied with this king?" ”
"Xiao Qi doesn't dare." Xiao Qi lowered his head and hid the love in his eyes.
"I don't dare, not no." Chu Yunxi looked at Xiao Qi with a smile, "Isn't it, one day, when you have the opportunity to rebel against this king, you will vent it on this king?" ”
Xiao Qi raised his head and crashed into those clear eyes, those eyes, which were so clear that they seemed to reflect all the darkness in his heart. Xiao Qi panicked in his heart, immediately lowered his head, avoided those eyes, and reiterated again: "Xiao Qi, don't dare!" ”
"I don't dare." Chu Yunxi sneered and said, "However, even if you dare, it doesn't matter. Because, as far as your ability is concerned, this king is not in his eyes. ”
Although Xiao Qi lowered his head, from his slightly trembling body, Chu Yunxi could see his hidden anger. That's the way it is, she wants Xiao Qi to know clearly that she, Chu Yunxi, is not a good stubble!
"I know, you're talking angry now." After a long time, calming the anger in his heart, Xiao Qi opened his mouth and said, "You are blaming me." ”
"Blame you?" Chu Yunxi raised her eyebrows, "What do you blame?" ”
"Blame me, I can't marry you." Xiao Qi said.
"Why should this king blame you?" Chu Yunxi raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Qi, "Feng Lan is ten million times better than you, and the most fortunate thing about this king now is that he didn't choose you." ”
"It's okay for you to be angry and annoyed, but don't get along with yourself." Xiao Qi took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said, "Do you know that corruption and bribery in officialdom are not uncommon now. Thirty cars of glass, I don't know how many people are red-eyed. If you ask people to send the goods to the government for inspection, there is no problem, and they can find out the problem. In this way, you first have people send the goods to the government to transport them out, so that nothing goes wrong. ”
Chu Yunxi narrowed her eyes, she was taught a lesson like that, Xiao Qi hadn't learned to be obedient yet, and was still thinking about private salt. even tried to blame the government for the matter. looks good for her, is she really a bully?
"Joke!" Chu Yunxi sneered coldly, "Lord Xiao, is this king blind?" Not to mention that she herself has sent a lot of people to watch the movements here, although Lord Yao is not a clean official, he is better than being timid. He dared to accept small bribes, but he didn't have the courage to touch big things.
"I'm just, worried about your ......"
"Xiao Qi, don't always take this king for a fool." Chu Yunxi said, "You really can't find out when this king can't find out, do you use private salt to pretend to be Liuli?" ”
"...... you" Xiao Qi was stunned, but he didn't expect that after a while, this matter had already been investigated.
"Speaking of which, this king doesn't know that you can come up with such a bad trick." Thinking of something, Chu Yunxi hooked the corners of his mouth, looked at Xiao Qi, and said, "For this matter, this king really wants to thank this king's royal brother, if it weren't for his reminder, this king wouldn't know that Liuli is private salt." ”
"Your Highness...... Who is it referring to? Xiao Qi was slightly stunned, and had a faint conjecture in his heart.
"Who else?" The corners of Chu Yunxi's mouth hooked up a meaningful smile, "As soon as the imperial brother heard that his father was going to send this king to the heavenly prison because of the matter of private salt, he immediately pointed out a clear way for this king. ”
Sure enough, it was King Jin. Xiao Qi's eyes darkened, and he was resentful of King Jin's betrayal.
"Yunxi, I was wronged in this matter ......of private salt" Before Xiao Qi finished speaking, he was slapped neatly by Chu Yunxi. Chu Yunxi hit very hard, and after a while, Xiao Qi had obvious slap marks on his face.
"Xiao Qi, it seems that you haven't remembered the words of this king." Chu Yunxi said, "The name of this king is not worthy of being called by you. In this matter, whether you are wronged or the mastermind, this king doesn't care. Now that the evidence is conclusive, you can't escape, Xiao Qi. ”
"Cloud ...... His Royal Highness King Jing. Xiao Qi lowered his head, hid the deep hatred in his eyes, and said, "Give Xiao Qi a little time, Xiao Qi will prove his innocence." ”
"Early tomorrow morning, this king will enter the palace." After Chu Yunxi finished speaking, he turned around and stopped looking at Xiao Qi, "You, you can get out." ”
"Xiao Qi retired." Xiao Qi whispered a word and retreated.
Walking to the gate of the courtyard, Xiao Qi turned around and took one last look at the person in the pavilion, Chu Yunxi was always like that, arrogant and unstoppable, looking down on anyone. Even from that distance, he could still feel the momentum in her.
Chu Yunxi, you wait, sooner or later, I will make you kneel and beg me!
"Your Highness, why did you let him go?" Waiting for Xiao Qi to leave, Xia Fenglan walked towards Chu Yunxi, "Take him now, he has no chance to retract his confession." Give him half a night, enough for him to think of a countermeasure. ”
"Don't worry." Chu Yunxi raised the corners of his mouth, evoking a mocking smile, "For such a little time, they can't eat dogs enough, how can they have so much time to think about other things." ”
"Your Highness has long known who is behind the scenes?" Xia Fenglan asked. She knew that the matter of private salt involved a lot, and there were many ways to do it, and it was absolutely impossible to hide it from the government for so long with just a small official book.
"In this palace, there are many people who want the king's life, but there are only a few people who really have the ability to do it." Chu Yunxi smiled self-deprecatingly. And among these people, there is exactly one who is her closest person.
Seeing a trace of sadness in Chu Yunxi's eyes, Xia Fenglan took two steps closer, stretched out her hand, hesitated, and gently grabbed Chu Yunxi's hand.
Chu Yunxi looked down at Xia Fenglan, although Xia Fenglan tilted her head and didn't look at her, but from the hands of the two of them, she could feel what Xia Fenglan wanted to say.
Your Highness, you still have Feng Lan.
