Before the wedding banquet was over, the guests were almost gone. After a while, only the Qiao family and the emperor were left at the entire wedding banquet.

From the time Qiao Mingyue brought him in until now, he didn't say a word, and now all the guests had left, and only the Qiao family and the emperor were left at the scene.

Everyone looked at the emperor, not knowing what he was thinking, and Qiao Mingyue and the others were even more weak-hearted. The air was quiet, and I could hear my own breathing.

Just when Qiao Mingyue was thinking about whether to say something, the emperor spoke.

"Madame Joe, didn't you die in the fire? Why is it here? The Emperor stared at Madame Joe closely.

Mrs. Joe was named, her face turned white, and she didn't say anything.

The emperor didn't think about making her answer, but turned to Qiao Mingyue and said, "Princess Jin, didn't you break with King Jin and be kidnapped by mountain bandits?" What's going on now? ”

Qiao Mingyue smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything. Just kidding, now anyone can hear the vigorous anger contained under the emperor's calm tone, who would dare to rush to find death. If the emperor was so angry that she was convicted of bullying the king, it wouldn't be fun.

So everyone bowed their heads and did not speak, ready to receive the thunderous wrath of the emperor.

Suddenly, he slapped the table, "Can anyone explain to me why you're here?!" The emperor was furious, he felt that these people were playing monkey tricks on him.

Several people were silent.

After a while, seeing that the emperor had calmed down a little, Qiao Mingyue smiled again and entertained him as if she didn't know anything, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you haven't eaten since you came from afar, right?" I don't know if our coarse tea and light rice are to your taste, so you can use some of them first, and we'll talk about other things later, okay? ”

The emperor snorted coldly and sat down in his original position, Qiao Mingyue hurriedly asked someone to change the table of food, and was busy handing him the dishes and chopsticks in person, and also picked up the chopsticks very diligently to arrange dishes for him from time to time.

Qiao Mingyue greeted the emperor while not forgetting the guards who followed, "Don't stand, sit down!" ”

The guards looked at the Emperor and saw that he had no objection, so they sat down at another table. However, they still kept an eye on the emperor's actions. When the emperor picks up the dishes, they will pick up the vegetables, and when the emperor stops chopsticks, they will also stop chopsticks. All their actions followed the actions of the emperor.

The emperor finished his meal without saying a word, and General Qiao and Mrs. Qiao also stared at his movements for a moment, and the nervous palms of the couple were full of sweat. Mrs. Qiao herself is not afraid, but she is afraid that she will affect Qiao Mingyue and Qi Jingyun.

When the emperor finished eating, the guards immediately stopped their chopsticks and stood behind the emperor.

"Qiao Mingyue stays, and the others will go out first." The Emperor said coldly.

Several people hesitated for a moment, received Qiao Mingyue's eyes, and although they were worried, they still went out.

It's just that Qi Jingyun doesn't have to worry about letting Qiao Mingyue and the emperor stay alone.

"Lady, I'll stay with you, the imperial brother won't disagree, right?" Qi Jingyun sat down very simply and said a little scoundrelly.

The emperor didn't speak, just sat there quietly, as if to say that if Qi Jingyun didn't go out, he wouldn't speak.

Qiao Mingyue looked at the emperor, tugged at Qi Jingyun's sleeve, and said, "The emperor said to let you all go out, what are you still doing here?" Get out quickly, the emperor must have something to talk about when he comes to me. ”

Qi Jingyun was dragged up by her, but he still hesitated and didn't want to leave.

Qiao Mingyue pushed him out without gentleness, "Okay, okay, you can go quickly!" ”

Although Qi Jingyun was unwilling, he was still driven out by Qiao Mingyue.

When Mrs. Qiao saw Qi Jingyun coming out, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it?" Do you know what they're talking about? ”

Qi Jingyun shook his head helplessly, "I don't know, I was in there just now, and the emperor didn't say anything." ”

Mrs. Qiao sighed, "What is this emperor looking for Mingyue alone?" ”

Suddenly, her face changed and she said, "The emperor won't be trying to punish her for her crimes, right?!" ”

Although they did not want to, they had to admit that this was indeed the most likely idea.

On the other side, Qiao Mingyue was also guessing the emperor's thoughts, she was very sure that the emperor must be very angry now, after all, if it was her, now that she found out such a big thing, of course it would be impossible to laugh it off. And she is guilty of deception, if the emperor is angry and sentences her to be executed, it will be bad.

It has to be preemptive.

After Qiao Mingyue made up her mind, she sat in front of the emperor, and without waiting for the emperor to speak, she took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, I already have a clue to the treasure map." ”

Hearing this news, the emperor was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain.

"Oh? Is the message reliable? The Emperor asked.

Qiao Mingyue saw that he was interested, and hurriedly said, "Of course it is reliable, the prince and I are here to find the treasure map." ”

"And now? How's it going? The Emperor asked.

Qiao Mingyue didn't hide it, "We found out that the treasure map is in Nanzhao, and we plan to go to Nanzhao after attending the wedding." ”

The emperor also understood that Qiao Mingyue was worried that he would be held responsible, but he had to admit that this trick was indeed effective.

Although he was angry that the Qiao family was bullying the monarch and didn't take him seriously, at the moment he needed Qiao Mingyue and Qi Jingyun to help him find the treasure map. And compared to the treasure map, none of their previous actions were so important.

"Okay, since that's the case, then I will send you and King Jin to Nanzhao to find the treasure map, remember, after finding it, you must send it back to me immediately, in addition, no one can know about this matter." The Emperor eventually decided to pardon them in exchange for a treasure map.

Qiao Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief, "Obey." ”

The people inside were talking, and the people outside were waiting anxiously, they were worried that Qiao Mingyue would upset the emperor, Qi Jingyun was even ready, if the emperor wanted to bring Qiao Mingyue back to the capital to punish the crime, he would fight with them.

It's just that when the two of them came out, they were really surprised.

The two came out one after the other, only to see the emperor smiling, changing his previous angry appearance, but looking amiable.

What's going on? Several people looked at each other, not knowing what was going on inside.

The emperor ignored the surprise of a few people, he smiled and said: "Then it's nothing, I won't pursue all the things that you have done before, today is General Xiao Qiao's big day, and I will send the congratulatory gift another day." ”

After speaking, he also raised his hand and touched Qiao Mingyue's hair.

Qiao Mingyue felt his movements, and instantly froze in place, she hurriedly went to see Qi Jingyun, and sure enough, Qi Jingyun was staring at the emperor's hand, her face was full of unhappiness, as if she was going to chop off his hand.

Although General Qiao and Mrs. Qiao didn't know what was going on, they were also relieved to see that the emperor did not punish Qiao Mingyue, after all, the crime of bullying the monarch is big and big, and it depends on what the emperor thinks, and now the emperor is willing not to pursue it, of course it is best for them.
