The study was quiet, and not the slightest sound came out.

If he hadn't known that the king and General Yuan were inside, he would have thought that there was no one.

In the imperial study, Yuan Kai leaned over and stood silently with his head bowed.

In the space where the two of them were alone, Emperor Chen had put away the anger he had just shown in front of everyone, and stared at Yuan Kai below with a calm face, but there was a bit of fierceness in his eyes.

"Yuan Kai, are you very confused, why would I leave you alone?"

"Your Majesty has his own considerations, and the minister does not dare to speculate on the holy will at will."

Emperor Chen chuckled, but his tone sank, "Yuan Kai, are you doubting that all this is my arrangement." ”

"Your Majesty, please be clear, the minister has never had such an idea!" Without thinking about it, Yuan Kai quickly blurted out these words.

Even if he had doubts, how could he easily admit it in front of the king?

But now that His Majesty has clarified the situation with him, does it mean that he also knows?

After his words fell for a long time, the sound of beads rubbing against each other sounded in the hall again, very subtle but a little harsh, especially in this quiet hall, there was a faint echo of it.

If you listen to this voice for a long time, it is easy to indulge in it.

Yuan Kai sensed that he was a little absent-minded, and quickly came back to his senses, pressed his fingertips on his palm, and forced himself to ignore the sound.

Emperor Chen glanced at him, the movements in his hands stopped, the voice disappeared, and the hall returned to calm.

"Yuan Kai, I can protect you, but your private hands and feet have to be hidden." Chen Huang's casual voice sounded, but Yuan Kai's heart was shocked.

He, got it?

"Your Majesty, the minister is loyal to you and has no selfish intentions, please enlighten Your Majesty." He bowed respectfully, and the panic that flashed in his eyes was well concealed.

Chen Huang waved his hand, his tone was a little impatient, "Okay, step down, you will stay in your Yuan Mansion for half a month, and reflect on it." ”

"Yes, I obey!"

After he exited the imperial study, the bright yellow figure slowly got up from the dragon chair, walked to the wall behind him carved with the golden splendor of the five-clawed golden dragon, and pressed his palm to a certain place on the wall.

With a squeak, the wall parted in half, like a closed door suddenly opened.

At this moment, a figure walked out of it.

"Did you hear it all?"

"Naturally, His Majesty Emperor Chen has taken great pains!"

Emperor Chen turned his head to look at him, the silver-white bat mask on his face was particularly conspicuous, and the corners of his mouth were lightly hooked into an evil smile on the lower face that was not blocked by the mask.

"Now that you've heard the message you want, can you go?"

"Your Majesty, what's the hurry? No, I haven't met the famous General Luo Qi yet. ”

Emperor Chen frowned, his eyes were vigilant, and he said in a cold voice, "What else do you want?" ”

The masked man chuckled lightly and slowly approached Emperor Chen, "Why be so wary of me, we're allies, aren't we?" ”

As he spoke, he picked up the beads that Emperor Chen had just placed on the table with his right hand, and followed Emperor Chen's usual movements, turning them gently.

Seeing the displeasure in Emperor Chen's eyebrows, he shrugged his shoulders, put the beads back indifferently, and patted the dust on his hands that did not exist.

"That's it, Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, I'd better not disturb Your Majesty." With that, he jumped out of the window in a flash, extremely fast, without attracting any attention from the guards outside.

Emperor Chen looked at the now empty imperial study, and his eyes deepened little by little.

Sooner or later, you will all die at my hands......

……

Luo Qi saw Manager Li in the pavilion of the teahouse with people in the direction of her Luo Mansion, she saw that the sky was a little dark, and estimated that Yuan Xian should also leave, but just in case, she still intercepted Manager Li halfway.

Although Manager Li was puzzled that General Luo had come out of nowhere to intercept him, he didn't say much, anyway, he just came to announce her into the palace, and it would be better to walk a little less.

When Luo Qi followed Mr. Li into the palace, he happened to meet Yuan Kai who was returning at the palace gate, and the two glanced at each other, exchanged a few words, and separated after saying hello.

Manager Li watched the two of them get along, decent, and didn't communicate much, because he lowered his head, so he didn't notice that the two of them were in the process of greeting, Luo Qi stuffed something into Yuan Kai's hand.

When Luo Qi walked to the front of the imperial study hall, the sky had already darkened, and the palace maids walking around the palace were already holding the illuminated palace lamps in their hands.

After Luo Qi entered, he saw the emperor standing with his back to her, and for some reason there was no candle flame in the hall, and the only light source was the palace lamp outside the hall projected through the half-open window.

Luo Qi didn't seem to notice this, and saluted the figure in the hall as always, and his voice was as calm and indifferent as usual, "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" ”

"Flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Luo Qi straightened up slightly, and the person in front of her never turned around, but she was not in a hurry.

On patience? Even compared to the king of a country, her patience is not inferior in any way.

Over the years, she has fought on the battlefield, and she has a lot of patience in observing the enemy and speculating on his intentions.

Even though the atmosphere in the hall was tense and depressed, Luo Qi still maintained a just right light smile on his face, and he was not affected at all.

After a long time, Chen Huang turned around, looked at Luo Qi and smiled.

"It's really the Luo family, don't be surprised. General Luo is not curious, why did I come to you? ”

"The minister just saw General Yuan at the palace gate, presumably His Majesty summoned him, this is a matter of the army?"

After the words fell, the applause rang out, Chen Huang clapped his hands, and a trace of praise flashed in his eyes, "It really deserves to be the world-famous female general Luo Qi." ”

"Your Majesty has overdone it."

"I have two things to do with you, and one is in the army." He paused, "I have decided to leave all the affairs in Yuan Kai's hands to you. ”

Yuan Kai's business? Isn't that just a matter of disarmament fee reduction?

Now let her take over, it's really a good calculation.

The king has spoken, and she naturally refuses as a courtier.

Although various thoughts flashed in her heart, the expression on her face remained the same, "Minister, obey the order!" ”

Chen Huang stared at her for a long time before gradually approaching her, "There is one more thing, Luo Qi, you have been investigating the duckweed battle back then?" ”

His voice was faint, but to Luo Qi, it bombarded her brain like thunder.

She slowly raised her head and met the eyes that were no more than a foot away from hers.

Emperor Chen came to her at some point, and he was looking at the expression on her face intently, not letting go of the slightest change.

"Your Majesty, what you want to talk to your ministers about is the battle of duckweed?" She didn't respond to the fact that she had been checking it, because she knew that since Emperor Chen took the initiative to mention it, he must also know.
