177 Questioning

"Ami Buddha Sutra" Qi Ling immediately sent someone to the eldest princess's mansion to pick it up, but the autumn moon who came back not only brought Buddhist scriptures, but also brought an earth-shattering news!

The county lord of Qiling immediately stood up, pointed at Qiu Yue with trembling hands and said, "You say it again, what did the emperor's uncle's holy decree say?" ”

Qiu Yue didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "The holy decree personally drafted by Your Majesty says that the Five Kingdoms are about to congratulate, and Your Majesty remembers that the government is busy and postpones the three-year draft, just because...... Just because I belong to my heart, I am willing to wait for the day when the second dragon raises his head in the first month of February of the next year and take the beautiful woman as a concubine! ”

"What? Nadja as a concubine? Qi Ling felt even more incredible, "Are you saying that the imperial uncle already has a beautiful woman in his heart, so he doesn't want to spend a lot of time on the draft, just wait for the woman to be included in the harem immediately?" ”

Qiu Yue prostrate on the ground, not daring to nod or shake her head, so she had to say in a trembling voice: "The slave doesn't know, the slave doesn't know." ”

At this moment, whether she nodded or shook her head, as long as it was passed out, it was speculation about the holy will, and a glass of poisonous wine was afraid that it would be light!

It doesn't matter if the county lord of Qiling is a relative of the emperor, but her little maid doesn't dare to block her net worth and life.

Su Qi heard it in his ears, and looked at it in his eyes, he only felt that the heat in this summer was a little more boring, it was obviously a sunny day, but there was a feeling that people couldn't get out of breath.

Emperor Rende really dares to do it, he won't be drafted without saying a word, and he will also make a holy decree, he really almost broke his identity with such a sentence!

Qi Niang wiped the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, pulled Qi Ling's sleeve and said, "Okay." Okay, although she is said to be a face-saving minion in your eldest princess's mansion, she is just a slave in the final analysis, and her identity is there, how do you want her to talk about His Majesty's affairs? Even I wouldn't dare to shout like you, the Lord of Qiling. ”

Qi Ling knew the stakes, waved his hand and let the autumn moon go down, sat beside Su Qi, and said angrily: "Isn't it uncomfortable for me? You talk about the triennial draft, and now it is only the palace that is selected, but at this juncture, the emperor's uncle will not choose a word. Su Qi, you don't know. How much does the imperial grandmother care about this draft, the county and state elections in front of her, and the royal relatives and nobles who can be called in the country of Dayue have been set by her old man, and the grandmother will worry about this matter every day, I don't know how much hardship I have suffered......"

I was surprised to hear this Qi Niang. She asked, "Doesn't His Majesty the Emperor already have so many princes and princesses?" Why does the Queen Mother still care so much about the draft? ”

What's more, the emperor is in his forties. Although there is no physiological reproductive cycle. But in ancient times, both men and women were generally easy to get old, and the old man of the Queen Mother was sure that the emperor in his forties could still give birth to a son?

Qi Ling sighed: "You don't understand this, Your Majesty's draft is just a name." The most important thing is not for the emperor's uncle, the emperor's uncle now has hundreds of beauties in the harem, so how can he use to add more beauties? ”

"Why is that?" Qi Niang was even more curious when she heard this, and she was still secretly happy in her heart, if the purpose of this draft was not the emperor's old son, maybe she could also take the path of the queen mother to avoid the fate of being included in the harem.

Qi Ling poked his head over and said in a low voice: "Now you also know, although there are many princes of our Dayue Kingdom, how many concubines are there?" Although the eldest son of the prince brother has a sister-in-law, but he has been confined to another courtyard after being abolished at the beginning of the year, it is not worth mentioning, the second prince brother is disabled and often lives in seclusion, and now I am afraid that the imperial grandmother does not know where our second brother is hidden, the fifth prince drowned and died early, you know, the sixth prince brother is greedy for pleasure and travels all the year round, I heard that a few days ago he also worshiped a chivalrous man as a teacher, this matter can make the imperial grandmother angry, although the sixth prince brother is only over fifteen years old now, but after all, he is also an adult prince, The imperial grandmother has to pay more attention, and the younger brother of the seventh prince will not tell you when he is still young. ”

There were still two princes missing, and Su Qi looked at Qi Ling and smiled silently.

She knew that the Empress Dowager was worried about her grandchildren, but she didn't know whether to worry about the third prince Murong Qin finding a wife, or for the Xuanwu Yicheng who occupied the name of the fourth prince of the imperial capital.

Qi Ling looked at Su Qi's black and white eyes with a smile, and suddenly softened his heart and said: "Mu Jiu's girl always says how clever you are, I thought it was because that girl hadn't seen the world and made a fuss, but now it seems that I am afraid that what that girl said is the truth." ”

"Su Qi, I'll tell you the truth, this draft is ostensibly for the triennial election of the emperor's uncle, but in fact, it is for the third prince and the fourth prince to choose a concubine!"

Sure enough, Qi Niang's heart was relieved.

"I don't need to say more about who these two are, it's natural for the three emperor brothers to choose concubines, the imperial grandmother has long had plans in this regard, the three emperor brothers have been weak and sick since childhood, and they have always been served by some mothers-in-law and old slaves, how can they be well taken care of by the new sister-in-law? The meaning of the imperial grandmother is that the princess of the three emperor brothers does not care about the background, talent, and appearance, these superficial things can be passed, the key is that the lady is pure, virtuous and good, and it would be better if she could understand some medical science, so the imperial grandmother liked several families in the south, and said that the ladies in the south were gentler than our northern......"

"As for the princess of the fourth prince Xuanwu's elder brother, hey, the imperial grandmother has a headache......"

Headache? How so?

Qi Niang was puzzled: "Our fourth son is known as a romantic person who accepts beauty when he sees it, what is the queen mother's worries, I am only afraid that the beautiful girls from all walks of life in Dayue will gather in the Dayue Palace, I am afraid that our four sons will pick dazzling eyes!" ”

Speaking of this, Su Qi thought about Xuanwu Yicheng's lustful face and hesitation in front of the beauties in the main hall, and she couldn't stop laughing.

The county lord of Qiling became more and more worried, she looked at Su Qi's naturally smiling little face, and her heart was even more anxious, she turned Su Qi's body, stared straight at the pair of black and white eyes that were as clear as autumn water falling into the lake, and asked seriously: "Su Qi, is it possible that Brother Xuanwu only has such an appearance in your heart?" He was about to get married, and this time he didn't casually carry a woman from the back door into the green garden of the Xuanwang Mansion. As long as he chooses, it will be the emperor's uncle's father who will give him a holy decree to marry, and when the marriage is completed in the near future, he will be carried in from the main gate of his Xuanwang Mansion in a serious manner, and Brother Xuanwu will marry the only princess in his life, and she will be the only queen of Northern Xuanwu in the future! ”

"Su Qi, you really don't have any other ideas?"

The last sentence, Qi Ling almost shouted.

Su Qi was stunned, she ...... What else can you think? Now that they are all people who can't protect themselves, is it possible that they can still find ways to escape this marriage for Xuanwu Yicheng?

What are you kidding, not to mention that she Su Qi doesn't have this ability. Even if she is there, I'm afraid that she is the one who sits on the side and drinks tea and watches the play. How can you be full of food and support to stir up the royal affairs?

What's more, the identity of Xuanwu Yicheng is so special!

Su Qidao: "Qi Ling, what can I think of a little lady?" In my opinion, the Empress Dowager couldn't do this better, although His Royal Highness King Xuan is the nephew of His Majesty the Emperor. But in the end, it is not surnamed Murong. No matter how much he is loved by the Queen Mother and His Majesty the Emperor today. But one day he will return to the north of Xuanwu Kingdom in the future, he is the only heir of Xuanwu, and he is also the only monarch of Xuanwu in the future. Therefore, if you want to get two countries together, it is best to marry! I want to come to the Queen Mother, what is worried about the choice of the imperial capital, which noble lady is right? Identity and status are naturally the more valuable the better, after all, in the future, he is to be the queen of Xuanwu, of course, the net worth, appearance, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting naturally have to be first-class good, just with the countless fiery eyes of His Royal Highness King Xuanwang, I am afraid that ordinary goods can't enter the eyes of our prince at all, isn't it more difficult? ”

"But if I want Su Qi to say that it is the most difficult, I am afraid that no one in the Dayue Kingdom wants to marry his daughter to His Royal Highness King Xuan!"

"The curse and killing technique of the Southern Barbarian ghost Liji has not been lifted yet, who would be willing to let their daughter suffer?"

"So, the Queen Mother can only look at each other through the origin of His Majesty the Emperor's draft, am I right?"

After hearing this, Qi Ling was so shocked that she didn't know what to do, she stared at Su Qi with wide eyes, but she couldn't say a word.

Qi Niang couldn't help but sigh and said with a smile: "Who doesn't know about the tragic destruction of the Xuanwu Kingdom back then?" I'm afraid that the art of cursing and killing is terrifying, and I only knew it after listening to people's discussions. ”

But Qi Ling wasn't thinking about this, she grabbed Qi Niang's sleeve and asked anxiously: "Is it because of the art of spelling and killing, so you don't want to see Brother Xuanwu like that?" ”

Forehead...... What is this talking about?

Qi Niang frowned.

But this hesitant action was acquiesced in Qi Ling's eyes, and the fire in her heart ignited at once, and she said sharply: "Su Qi, in vain, Qi Ling still looks at you differently, I can't imagine that you are also so cheesy, what is wrong with Brother Xuanwu, especially for you, so desperate to jump off the sunny and rainy hibiscus pool, in order to find you, he flew directly to the general's mansion with light skills, and even ignored the obstruction of everyone in the general's mansion, insisted on entering the ink pear orchard to find you, do you know that the ink pear garden was ordered by the emperor's uncle, and idle people are not allowed to enter." , Otherwise, they will be severely punished, when I came to your Lanting Courtyard today, I heard that Brother Xuanwu had been kneeling in front of the palace for more than an hour, and the imperial uncle didn't say a word this time, do you know that if the imperial uncle is really angry, Brother Xuanwu is only afraid that he will suffer! But you ...... But you still said such things, as if you didn't care about yourself, do you know that Brother Xuanwu likes you so much, do you know that he even interceded for you in front of the imperial grandmother, do you know that he has always sent a master to protect you by your side? ”

"Su Qi, do you have a heart?"

Qi Niang was stunned after hearing this, but then she only smiled bitterly.

Dare to love her, Su Qi is not grateful to Xuanwu Yicheng, Dade just has no heart, right?

Why?

Just by virtue of that guy's design, he came to the imperial capital, and he pushed himself to the mouth of the cliff step by step, just by virtue of that guy's love words?

But she couldn't tell Qi Ling about this, no, she didn't want to tell anyone other than Ah Qin.

Because, even if she said it, it would be useless......

Su Qi sighed, turned his back, and looked up to see the northern maple canopy covering the sky and the sun, leaving only the dappled light and shadow in front of the window.

On a summer afternoon, it's quiet......

She whispered, "...... I am the woman who raised her head and raised her head at the beginning of February......"

On that day, she didn't know how Qi Ling rushed out of Lanting Courtyard, and she didn't know when Granny Chensu entered the inner room, and later recalled, she only remembered that she stared at the mottled light and shadow of the window for a long time, but there was a sad smile in that corner of Xuanwu Yicheng, and the lonely figure......

She thought, this is fine, in the future, the two will not owe each other, and each will not be at peace...... He Xuanwu Yicheng married his princess to be his king, and she Su Muli wanted her plan to avoid the shackles of the palace as a concubine......

It's just an acquaintance, that's it......

When Qi Niang arrived at Xizhimen, the afternoon sun was still so dazzling, she couldn't wait for Chu Qing's support, and she got off the sedan chair and went directly into the small study in the east.

Sure enough, Murong Qin was cooking tea.

Su Qi's heart was relieved, and his eyebrows and eyes were dyed with a little comfort.

He sat down on the opposite side, picked up the cold fragrant tea and poured it down.

The fragrance of hibiscus and the freshness of green tea suddenly swept away the boredom of the past few days.

She sighed and said: "It's still your Xizhimen life, the little woman has been running out of breath lately, I can't imagine that Ah Qin is still so free." ”

Hearing this, Murong Qin's hand shook, and then he calmly carried the purple sand teapot to Su Qiman, but he smiled and said nothing.

How long did it rain yesterday, he stood in the rain for a long time, until Chu Qing wrote that Ah Qi had rested in the eldest princess's mansion, and he was helped back to the inner room by Shao Gong.

As soon as he heard that his father had called Qi Niang to the General's Mansion alone, he Murong Qin's heart was as uncomfortable as turning over the river and the sea, and he couldn't sit or stand, but he Murong Qin couldn't do anything. Later, when he heard that his father had returned to the palace alone, his heart was relieved.

He didn't know how deep his father's love for Ah Qi and her mother was, but even so, after he learned how Xuanwu Yicheng allowed Su Qiming to return to the imperial capital justifiably, he became timid about it.

The three bright and flickering holy decrees, plus the Flame Division's official ship escorted all the way, and now there is Mo Guifei's pursuit all the way, if he can't see the inside story of this, it will be in vain for him Murong Qin to get the name of the ghost talent of the rivers and lakes!

Father's love is not called love, it is an obsession, an obsession that cannot be obtained!

How dangerous Qi Niang was yesterday, how could he not know?

So after learning that Qi Niang had disappeared, he couldn't help but rush directly to the gate of the courtyard......

If it weren't for more than a dozen secret guards blocking the front, if it weren't for Shao Gong holding his legs and crying, if it weren't for him Murong Qin struggling, I'm afraid that it wouldn't be his Xuanwu Yicheng who broke into Moli Garden!

Shao Gong's words are still in his ears, "...... The lord is going here to throw away the one hundred and five lives of the Huo family, to discard the great cause of washing away grievances, and to discard our heartfelt servants of the Lord...... Pity those one hundred and five unjust souls, they are still lonely souls, wild ghosts, they are not allowed to be reincarnated, they are not allowed to enjoy the incense of the world, they are not allowed to recognize the Lord and return to their ancestors......"

At that moment, he only felt that the heavy rain hit his heart like the ice and snow in the sky, cold and biting......

Later, Shao Gong let go of the hand that was holding his legs, and the secret guards knelt aside and didn't dare to stop him, but he, Murong Qin, felt that his legs were as heavy as lead, and he couldn't get up anymore, so he could only watch the sky gradually darken......

He thought that he might not be able to do Xuanwu Yicheng in his life, so he could do whatever he wanted...... (To be continued......)
