Just when the eunuchs downstairs were waiting impatiently and were about to rush upstairs to find Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao, who was refreshed, finally walked down slowly, and seeing his face full of spring breeze and relaxed expression, fools know what he did upstairs and his two confidantes just now!

Then several eunuchs immediately rushed over and knelt and bowed to Xiao Yao, and then, like bodyguards, quickly surrounded Xiao Yao in the middle, for fear that Xiao Yao would suddenly run to other places again, and finally rushed out, boarded the carriage that had been prepared for a month, and rode away quickly in the direction of the palace, leaving only a group of people who ate melons and ridiculed Xiao Yao for being a womanizer who ignored the emperor's summons!

came to the palace, and the eunuch who went back in advance to report was already waiting outside the palace with Gao Gonggong at this time, Xiao Yao got out of the carriage, Gao Gonggong immediately greeted him, and then took Xiao Yao straight to Chen Xu's imperial study!

"Xiao Gongzi, you are finally willing to come! Your Majesty has been very bored and worried these days, and I want to have a good chat with you, but you are such a big shelf, no matter how we invite or ask, you just refuse to show up, so that we slaves will be scolded by Your Majesty every day! Gao Gonggong pretended to complain and said, in fact, he was relieved now, as Chen Xu's personal eunuch, he clearly knew how anxious Chen Xu was to see Xiao Yao!

"Father-in-law Gao has wronged Shiro! During this time, Shiro was really unwell, and he was afraid that if he saw His Majesty, he would infect His Majesty, so he hid outside the city to recuperate, and then made some gadgets by the way! You see, as soon as I am in good health, I will come to see Your Majesty! Xiao Yao still used this reason that no one believed in as an excuse, and said perfunctorily.

"Hehe, if you are as energetic and strong as Xiao Gongzi, then we ordinary people are terminally ill! I heard that Xiao Gongzi and two confidantes were in the room for several hours just now! It seems that in the eyes of Xiao Gongzi, His Majesty is not as important as these beauties! Gao Gonggong said in a strange voice.

"I know that Your Majesty is in a bad mood during this time, so I let Gonggong Gao suffer! It just so happened that Shiro came out of the general casino, and he still had these tickets with him, and I didn't need them anyway, so I might as well give them to Gao Gonggong, so that you can go to the general casino to be happy when you are on vacation! Xiao Yao naturally heard that Father-in-law Gao had resentment in his heart, so he took out a stack of tickets for the general casino and gave it to Father-in-law Gao, since it can be solved with money, there is no need to waste his time and bring unnecessary trouble to himself!

Sure enough, Gonggong Gao was not polite, he handed down this ticket worth a lot of silver, and his face seemed to have eased a little, but his voice was still gloomy and said: "Our family is grateful to Xiao Gongzi for his kindness, but His Majesty is really in a bad mood during this time, and even sometimes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks to see him, and His Majesty doesn't want to see him, so Xiao Gongzi still has to pay attention later!" ”

"Shiro knows, thank you Gonggong Gao for reminding me!" Xiao Yao saluted and said.

After Gonggong Gao brought Xiao Yao into Chen Xu's imperial study, he turned around and went out, and closed the door, leaving only Xiao Yao and Chen Xu in the imperial study!

"Xiao Shilang, are you finally willing to come to see me? Xiao Yao Xiao Yao, you are happy and happy, do you know that in this month, I can't sleep and eat every day! Hum! Your shelf is really not small, I don't even pay attention to me, I sent someone to summon you into the palace, but now it has been a full month before you are willing to come, this is a protest! If it is on the battlefield, this is a great sin for delaying military aircraft! Aren't you afraid that I will condemn you? Chen Xu looked angry and threatened Xiao Yao. 596

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger! A few days ago, Shiro was indeed a little unwell, so he went to the workshop outside the city to recuperate, so he couldn't come in time to meet His Majesty, please forgive Your Majesty! And now Shiro is not a soldier either, so it is not my turn to delay the military situation at all! Xiao Yao said with a smile, not at all afraid of Chen Xu's threats from the emperor!

"Sharp teeth! Do you dare to say that you are uncomfortable in front of me now? Rest? Fart! Don't think I don't know, you're hiding from me! I didn't want to see me, so I deliberately pretended to be sick, and then ran to the general iron workshop to do something I don't know, that ancestor Yuan spent a lot of money on the account of the general business bank this month, and it was all called privately, without my consent at all! Do you think you'll be able to hide it from me? Any one of these crimes, I can behead you according to the law! Chen Xu still looked angry, pointed at Xiao Yao and scolded.

"Hehe, now that Your Majesty has scolded him, is he in a better mood?" Xiao Yao knew that now Chen Xu was just venting the resentment he had accumulated during this time, so Xiao Yao was completely thinking that Chen Xu was farting and didn't pay attention to it at all!

When Chen Xu was almost scolded, Xiao Yao still smiled and said, "Actually, Shiro didn't enter the palace to see His Majesty for a month, mainly because he didn't want to embarrass His Majesty!" After all, our army has been hit so hard, it is like a slap in the face of His Majesty, if Shiro would have entered the palace to face the saint at that time, in case His Majesty thinks that Shiro is here to mock His Majesty, then maybe His Majesty will immediately behead Shiro to show the public, then Shiro will really have a grudge and nowhere to redress! ”

"You, you..." Hearing Xiao Yao admit so directly that he deliberately didn't come to see him this month, and he also revealed his scars as soon as he came up, which made Chen Xu suddenly so angry that he couldn't speak!

"Your Majesty is discouraged! If you get angry with the dragon body, it won't be good! After all, in reality, we only lost a battle, the main force of the army is still there, and when the time comes, we will continue to attack Xuzhou and take Huaibei, and we will still rely on the leadership of His Majesty's wise and martial arts! Xiao Yao still smiled harmlessly, and then continued: "And I believe that this month, Your Majesty has also investigated the reasons for the Xuzhou fiasco, right?" ”

"Do you also think that there are people in our Chen court, who colluded with the Qi State and betrayed the battle plan of our Northern Expedition army?" Chen Xu had already scolded all the resentment in his stomach just now, and now he had regained his calm, and then looked at Xiao Yao with an unwilling expression and asked.

"Even if Gao Changgong has the muskets and artillery that he took from me, but he can use such a targeted strategy to crack the attack of our 50,000 army, then he definitely knows our attack plan in advance, and even every move of the eastern and central armies at that time is under his control! So there must be someone on our side doing their job! Xiao Yao said affirmatively.

"You're right, just like the investigation results of the Criminal Department, if there were no traitors on our side, it would be impossible for Gao Changgong to defeat our two-way army so easily!" Chen Xu said fiercely, then suddenly stared at Xiao Yao and asked coldly, "Then who do you think is the traitor lurking in our court?" ”

"Then who does Your Majesty think this traitor will be? Could it be that Your Majesty is now suspecting that this traitor who colluded with the Qi State and betrayed the battle plan of our army is me Xiao Shilang? Xiao Yao asked rhetorically!
