Chapter 257: The First Opportunity

Rao is Xie Ke had already prepared, and his heart couldn't help but tighten.

The wrath of the emperor is often slaughtered for thousands of miles...... No matter how bold Qi Lu is, in the face of imperial power, he can only be captured.

I don't know when the news will reach Qi Lu's ears, presumably after the young man knows about it, he will definitely be in a dilemma.

If you want to return, you can't return, and you can't return without a reason. How can Qi Lu do errands wholeheartedly? How could he calm down?

At this moment, Xie Ke even felt that the reason why King Yu insisted on walking together seemed to have a deep meaning...... In that way, after the East Window incident, King Yu will be able to control Qi Lu...... "You are so bold, you dare to have different intentions?" Emperor Renhe said angrily.

He was really angry, Xie Ke may have said it unintentionally, but he was the listener's intention. At this time, Emperor Renhe was glad that Qi Lu had married a heartless wife. Because of what Xie Ke said, Emperor Renhe didn't know anything. He didn't even know that Qi Lu had left Hele Town when he went to the north? It was close to the fiefdom of the King of Xiang, and when Xie Ke talked about the theft of grain, Emperor Renhe first thought of the King of Xiang.

Although the grain was raised by Qi Lu himself, he was guilty of deceiving the king. But food is used for disaster relief, and the emperor thinks that this kid Qi Lu is very generous.

I was afraid that I would not be able to do my errand, so I brought my own food.

Since he has gone to Hele, I think the king of Xiang will have heard of it, but it is the food used for disaster relief, and the king of Xiang will not let it go?

Then again, what did King Xiang do when he grabbed so much grain? Emperor Renhe didn't feel that he was in Hele, except for King Xiang. Who else has the ability to swallow so much food in one bite...... Later, the grain was recovered, which can prove that this was done by the king of Xiang.

I'm afraid that the king of Xiang will make a calculation, for fear that Qi Lu's kid will make trouble desperately.

So in the end, the big thing was turned into a small thing, and the food was quietly returned...... Naturally, the reason why the emperor thought this way was because Xie Ke simplified and simplified the matter of finding grain.

In the story Xie Ke told, she was a burden from the beginning to the end. Not only was it useless, but it even dragged Qi Lu back. However, the emperor was obviously very satisfied with the value of Xie Ke's existence. At least during Xie Ke's narration, the emperor listened quietly until Xie Ke talked about Qilu's courtyard and buying grain privately. The emperor was furious.

And what is this anger?

Xie Ke snorted coldly in his heart. But on the face is sincere fear.

"Your Majesty, did the courtier's wife say something wrong?"

Emperor Renhe waved his hand and motioned for Xie Ke to continue...... In his cognition, Xie Ke naturally didn't say anything wrong. Not only is it not wrong. And it's very 'right'. But it's really for him to answer his questions. Emperor Renhe's anger was completely aimed at Qi Lu and his intended King Xiang, but he did not have the slightest anger towards Xie Ke.

Thinking about this, Xie Ke really didn't do anything to provoke the emperor's anger.

What she said today can be said to be very popular with the emperor. And I don't have the opportunity to hear it on weekdays. So the emperor said as pleasantly as possible: "It has nothing to do with you, I'm just angry that Alu kid actually hid from me to buy property privately, Xie, you continue to say, what is the matter with entering the palace today to ask for a meeting?" ”

Finally came the main event.

Xie Ke slowly exhaled a breath, and then explained Li Zhan's matter with horror.

She didn't lie about this, she was telling the truth...... Especially those who buy and sell officials, Xie Ke's words are high and low, and he is obviously scared. In short, from beginning to end, in front of the emperor, she was a mediocre woman who didn't know what to do and didn't say anything in a panic.

This also echoes Xie Ke's image in the emperor's heart.

The emperor has always felt that Qi Lu marrying Xie Ke is just a picture of Xie Ke's beautiful face.

Now it seems that it really responds to the sentence 'in vain'. The face is naturally beautiful, and it looks really pleasing to the eye, but it is a straw bale. Qi Lu's 'secret' was bluntly revealed by her, presumably Qi Lu's kid would never have imagined that he would marry such a useless wife.

When the emperor thought of this, he was secretly happy.

As for Xie Ke's so-called buying and selling of officials, he is naturally convinced.

If someone else came to intercede, the emperor really had to think about it, but when Xie Ke said this, the emperor had no doubts. In his opinion, Xie Ke was simply panicked, and when he received such news, he was so frightened that he thought of entering the palace to intercede when he was desperate.

That Li Zhan is really a scoundrel.

With Aluna's eyes, he can look at a country wild woman, so Li Zhan dares to call himself the lord of Alu Yue, he is really bold. As for buying and selling officials, that kid doesn't bother to do it.

His Qi family is not short of silver, why take risks to do that act, naturally Li Zhan is greedy, acting under the banner of Qi Lu, and in the end he can't justify himself, so he brought silver to the capital to 'blame' Qi Lu. The emperor's heart turned, and he had already given his own thoughts on this matter.

But for now, he naturally won't say anything more to Xie Ke.

Just let her go back to the house and wait, someone will tell her when there is news...... Xie Ke trembled and thanked him, and then respectfully retired.

Emperor Renhe sat alone in the pavilion for a long time, at this time on weekdays, he had already met with the courtiers in the main hall to deal with the court, but after listening to Xie Ke's words, he couldn't say whether the mood was good or bad at this time, in short, the five tastes were very mixed. "Do you think Alu has a different heart?" Emperor Renhe whispered to the chamberlain beside him, the chamberlain looked a few years older than Emperor Renhe, looked loyal, and looked honest, but the entire Great Wei Emperor, no one would think that this person was simple.

This man's surname is Lin ......

He has been with Emperor Renhe since he was a child, and before Emperor Renhe ascended the throne, this person served as his bodyguard. After Emperor Renhe ascended the throne, this person entered the palace and became the chief attendant of Emperor Renhe, which was more than 20 years, and it can be said that this Gonggong Lin was the most trusted person of Emperor Renhe in the entire Great Wei.

"The minion doesn't think so. The so-called cunning rabbit still has three holes. The second son just bought some private property in Hele, and in the eyes of the slave, it was really nothing. Lin Gonggong said with a smile.

Emperor Renhe nodded.

In fact, he also felt that he was making a big fuss, but in his heart, there was a feeling that Qi Lu's kid was becoming more and more uncontrollable. "Having said that, I am always unhappy that Nalu kid is acting behind my back." Gonggong Lin smiled and persuaded softly. "Your Majesty has always regarded the second son as a child of his own relatives, and the child has grown up and has his own mind.

Some things want to hide from the elders in the family, which is normal.

When the father naturally feels left out, it is normal to dislike it in his heart.

But His Majesty also heard it, and the second son didn't hide it from the Xie family...... Xie is another person who has no sense of vigilance.

Didn't you tell Your Majesty about this today? So thinking about it this way, the second son has no intention of deceiving at all, if he really has a different heart, even the Xie family, presumably the second son will also have to hide it. ”

Emperor Renhe nodded again, and his anger in his heart was a little dispelled because of Qi Lu's concealment of his affairs in Hele Estate.

"The slave thinks that the matter of buying and selling officials that the second young grandmother said must be strictly investigated.

The slave believes that the second son will not be like this, the second son has been favored by His Majesty since he was a child, it can be said that the wind is windy, and it will rain and rain...... How will you collude with that and the Joy Keeper? The slave thought about this matter, maybe it was really as the second young grandmother said, it was the greed that called Li Zhan, as long as Your Majesty found out what Li Zhan was like and proved that the second young grandmother was not lying, the case would be solved.

Moreover, Li Zhan has been detained for a few days, but there is no news from Gyeonggi Wei.

If they had picked the opportunity of the day.

The slave thinks that someone wants to plot against the second son. The second son is a bold man, and it is unknown what powerful son he may have offended unintentionally. His Majesty has spoiled the second son since he was a child, and when the second son is not there, His Majesty has to take care of the second son. Gonggong Lin's obvious partiality not only did not make Emperor Renhe angry, but made Emperor Renhe look at Gonggong Lin with a smile.

"You, every word is biased towards him." "Where is the slave in favor of the second son, the slave obviously said what His Majesty wanted to say......" Gonggong Lin said respectfully, Renhe Emperor smiled loudly, and then said a word.

He wanted to see if someone was really plotting against Qi Lu......

As soon as Emperor Renhe entered the palace, there were attendants singing outside, and the head of the Gyeonggi Wei asked to see him. Emperor Renhe looked at Gonggong Lin on the side, and the master and servant exchanged a knowing glance, and then Gonggong Lin spoke slowly.

"Call."

***

Xie Ke didn't wait until the sedan chair entered the Qi family's gate that he finally slowly spit out his tight breath. She was really afraid that she would be called back again by the emperor halfway through.

What she said seemed to be Qi Lu's secrets, but since she stayed in Hele for the time being, and several people were looking for her inside and outside Hele Town. In fact, Qi Lu's purchase of property in Hele is no longer a secret. It was just revealed to the emperor earlier that she had exited it.

Presumably, at this time, the emperor must have racked his brains thinking about the loss of food and the delivery of food.

As for the felony of buying and selling officials, presumably because she caught the first opportunity, the emperor would definitely not investigate it......

Xie Ke got off the sedan chair, and Lin Changyuan hurriedly stepped forward. "Young grandma, how are things?" Xie Ke nodded. Lin Changyuan let out a heavy breath. "Thanks to the young grandmother's decision, otherwise if Your Majesty investigates this matter, it will finally prove that the second master is innocent, but it will have to be a good toss. For the second master of the Qi family, it is really a disaster. ”

“…… Changyuan, you go and check King Yu carefully. See which ministers he has close contacts with, and see if he is secretly cultivating power. ”

King Chayu?

What Xie Ke can think of, Lin Changyuan can also think of. He also thought of King Yu. On weekdays, King Yu is very low-key, and in the capital, his reputation is not as good as that of some ministers' sons.

This time, he took the initiative to stand up and ask for a decree, and even went to the most serious places in person, regardless of the danger.

Indeed, it is very different from what it has done in the past...... What good is it for him to insist on going through this experience? (To be continued.) )
