Chapter 128: Bifurcation
"There is something from Jiutang." After listening to what Cheng Rang said, Pei Zhe was a little relieved, and then suddenly remembered.
"What?" Cheng Rang walked towards the mansion as he spoke.
"There seems to be something wrong with the barbarian woman that the six princes liked before." Pei Zhen frowned and recalled.
After Ren Chenlin and Xiao Yue broke up, it seemed that there was no connection on the surface, and Xiao Yue seemed to have returned to the barbarians, that is, she disappeared without a trace, but now, she still stayed in Thousand Yang City.
"Come on." Cheng Rang asked.
Pei Zhe told Cheng Rang that Ren Qizhi came to Qianyang City and was injured again, and after Xiaoyue saved Ren Qizhi, Ren Qizhi fled back to Saicheng again.
"Oh?" Cheng Rang raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't expect so many things to happen in the short time he was not in Qianyang City.
This matter was also sent by Jiutang today, and Pei Zhe couldn't understand it.
"I see." Cheng Rang nodded, and only asked Pei Zhi to check Xiaoyue's background and what she wanted to do, she approached Ren Qizhi, it was definitely not a coincidence.
"Yes." Pei Zhi hurried away, Cheng Rang seemed to be able to breathe a sigh of relief, and he suddenly missed Xiaocha a little.
However, there are too many things on hand in the past few days, and Cheng Rang can only speed up the processing.
But last night, he missed it.
"Master, everything is arranged." Cheng Ji looked at Xiao Cha, who was looking at the moon from afar, and said.
"Okay." Xiaocha looked like she had lost some weight in the past few days, and asked Cheng Ji:
"What about Koyu."
"I'm still in Suifu right now." Half a month has not arrived, and Xiaocha and they did not pick up Xiaoyou.
"With the name of Shuhang, Cheng Rang will not treat Xiao Yugo badly, let alone you." This time, Xiaocha finally left Chengji in Qianyang City.
"In the future, I will definitely go to the master." Cheng Ji seemed to be a little reluctant, a seven-foot man, still with red eyes.
"Okay." Xiao Cha nodded towards Cheng Ji.
"I'm still the lord of Pulau, nothing."
As far as Xiao Cha's identity is concerned, just leaving Thousand Yang City, there is no need to be so sad, not to mention that Xiao Cha is really going to have something important this time, and it should be nothing.
Cheng Ji was rarely around Xiao Cha in the past, and today, Cheng Ji didn't know what was going on, he always felt as if he couldn't see Xiao Cha, and he was inexplicably reluctant.
"After all, you still haven't been with me for so long." In the past two years, the friendship between Chengji and Xiaocha has become deeper after all.
"Nope." Cheng Ji stubbornly denied:
"I'm just not happy because I can't see Mr. Ling."
This time, only Chengji stayed with someone left.
Xiao Cha snorted and laughed, without debunking Chengji's awkward little excuse:
"If you like it, I'll send Mr. Ling to stay."
Hearing this, Cheng Ji suddenly shrugged his face again, and hurriedly said to Xiao Cha:
"Master, don't worry, it's good to have me in Thousand Yang City, I will definitely handle it properly for you, as for Mr. Ling, it's better to follow you."
"Appropriate?"
"Of course." Cheng Ji replied suddenly, still full of confidence, but then his tone dropped a little.
"Eighth prince, I will do my best, master, you can rest assured."
"Okay." Xiaocha felt that she seemed a little selfish like this, but there was no better way to deal with it.
"When this matter is over, remember to tell the cardinal sound that there is still a worry-free existence."
Princess Sanssouci has returned from the barbarians, and it has been long enough.
Xiaocha didn't see the final outcome of the matter, but she also arranged the final ending properly.
"The master is much more humane." Cheng Ji opened his mouth at this time and smiled at Xiao Cha.
"Me." Xiaocha seemed a little surprised and pointed to herself.
"When the master went to the Sixteenth Moon, it was still the same as before, but when he arrived in this Thousand Yang City, he always felt that the master's behavior seemed to have to be considered more."
This is the second time that Cheng Ji thinks so, but it is the first time he has told Xiaocha.
"Perhaps." Xiaocha's growth environment since childhood is different from others, the choices he has to face since he was a child, are a matter of life and death, in the city of Qianyang, he changed his identity and experienced many things that he had never done before, and gradually, Xiaocha also met many people who would not have been in contact with before, which may be the root of Xiaocha's change.
But when all this was explained by Chengji, Xiaocha was a little embarrassed.
"But this seat will always be scattered." Xiaocha's words unconsciously brought a bit of sadness.
Chengji comforted the small tea ceremony:
"But for the master, it can be regarded as a new harvest, and what has been going on has finally been echoed, isn't it a good thing?"
"I hope so." Xiaocha was even a little apprehensive about the next trip, and began to wonder in her heart whether she would really be able to accept everything at that time.
After all, taking advantage of the slight light in the sky, a carriage has long been waiting at the gate of Qianyang City, and the city lord of Langluo City will naturally be able to pry open the gate of Qianyang City and say goodbye to this place, Xiaocha thought that he would never come back, but in the end, there will still be a time for reunion.
Not now, though, but in the future.
This pair of beautiful people don't know what kind of twists and turns they will face next.
In this troubled world, there are still people who will continue to come out to obstruct it.
Ren Qixiu returned to the mansion, and Shuyin looked at Ren Qixiu's appearance that he didn't seem to be in high spirits, and couldn't help but be a little surprised:
"Didn't the prince hand over the chapter today, as far as I know, the Eighth Prince's Mansion has been searched."
It's okay if the emperor doesn't believe it, but after believing it and denying it, Ren Qixiu is the most uncomfortable, and he can't help but complain to the cardinal sound at this moment.
"This father obviously found the tiger talisman, but he still listened to the old man's words above the court and easily let him go, and even withdrew from the court without any punishment, but there are still people who still investigate how the king knows about this matter."
In this way, it seems that Ren Qixiu has lost another battle.
The cardinal frowned:
"How can these eight princes be so difficult?"
Fortunately, Fu Cheng is not here at the moment, if he hears such a question from Shuyin with an expression, he is afraid that he will laugh out loud, what kind of person is Cheng Rang, the eighth prince, isn't it clear to Shuyin.
"This king really can't figure it out, the piles and piles have not been smooth recently, could it be that he was lowered by someone."
In Ren Qixiu's words, he had reached the boundary of impatience, and there was no more cover-up, Ren Qixiu said simply.
"Don't worry, prince." Shuyin looked at Ren Qixiu's appearance, but he was afraid that he was really a little annoyed.
"What should this king do next, do you really want to let the wind turn around, so that my father will suspect me?" Obviously, the folds handed over by Ren Qi Xiu were mixed between true and false, but what the emperor questioned was a fake part that could not withstand scrutiny, and the emperor didn't see the really powerful one.
"Not really." Although Shu Yin wanted to directly destroy the person in front of him in his heart, he still stabilized Ren Qixiu on his lips.
"The prince might as well act as if he didn't know everything, the emperor was vague about this matter, if you bite it, I'm afraid it will cause the emperor to be disgusted." Shuyin just heard Ren Qi Xiu talk about the low-level courtier named Cao Yi, and reminded Ren Qi Xiu a little:
"This Cao Yi, I'm afraid that the emperor's people can be so trusted."
This is true, if it is really just an ordinary courtier, how can it be.
"What about me?" Ren Qixiu's eyes rolled and he thought of the other side.
Could it be that his distrust of Cao Yi just now above the court would still annoy his father, so he would not listen to his own explanation so much.
"The prince is still relaxed, the past is over, and next, it depends on what the emperor does." The cardinal voice said.
In the end, the emperor still has to make the decision himself.
That's true, but Ren Qixiu carefully analyzed the situation, he originally occupied the initiative, but he was forced to be passive by Cheng Rang's rhetoric, and it was still a little uncomfortable, not to mention, now that it is possible to burn the fire he lit on his head, Ren Qixiu is naturally anxious.
But the emperor just couldn't get used to Ren Qixiu's anxiety, if Ren Qixiu urged again, I was afraid that the emperor really wanted to check him.
The current dilemma made Ren Qixiu a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Shuyin made a new suggestion at this time:
"Since the eighth prince said that it is related to the prince, the prince might as well push the boat with the current, even if he can't bring down the eighth prince, the prince's fall from grace is a well-known thing, and the emperor doesn't have much patience for the prince anymore."
It's like a fork in the road, and the pivot is the other way to go.
After all, he didn't let Ren Qixiu retreat.
When Ren Qixiu heard such a suggestion, he was quite interested, no matter who it was, the crown prince or Cheng Rang, it would be beneficial and harmless for him to bring down whoever he was.
"Do you have an idea?" Facing Ren Qixiu's question, Shuyin smiled slightly, and whispered a few words in Ren Qixiu's ear, and Ren Qixiu's eyes gradually became full of light.
"Good, good!" Ren Qixiu praised again and again:
"It will work out."
Just as Ren Qixiu was triumphant, a person hurriedly walked up in front of the hall and reported to Ren Qixiu:
"Back to the prince, the emperor coughed up blood in the imperial study."
"What's going on?" Ren Qixiu suddenly stood up and asked with a serious face.
"When the emperor and the minister were discussing state affairs in the imperial study, they suddenly coughed non-stop, and even coughed up blood."
Listening to the person's report, it seemed to be a little serious, and the first reaction in Ren Qixiu's mind was that if something happened to the emperor, then now the crown prince Ren Tingyou would be able to succeed to the throne logically, and before Ren Tingyou was abolished, the emperor must not have an accident, absolutely.
"What did the Imperial Doctor say?" Ren Qixiu then asked.
"The imperial doctor said that the emperor is just a momentary temperament, and there is no big problem."
Listening to the man's report, it seemed that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Ren Qixiu didn't let go of his heart, what can make the emperor angry today, it's not what he reported, but isn't it okay in the court, why cough up blood when he talks about it.
"Who is the emperor talking to?" Ren Qixiu asked suddenly, which made the person a little confused, but fortunately, Ren Qixiu's subordinates were not all waste, and such details were actually noticed.
"It seems, it seems to be an official named Cao Yi." The man recalled in his mind the news that had come from the palace.
If it is an important minister, he must remember it clearly, but it is the unfamiliar name of Cao Yi, which makes people think about it for a long time.
"Cao Yi, it's Cao Yi again..."
Ren Qixiu silently recited this name in his heart, it seems that this person, he must find out.
