Ye Yungui turned to say: "Although this shop is very close to the altar, every year when business is good, it is also during the Flower Dynasty Festival, and after the Flower Dynasty Festival, there are not many people, I am afraid it will be difficult to make a profit." ”

Looking at Ye Yungui, Qiao Mingyue's face was calm, but her heart had already turned over a few times, Ye Yungui's words were obviously a little tentative, could it be that Ye Yungui had already discovered something?

"Lord Ye laughed, although this king is an idle prince, but he is somewhat poor, even if this shop loses money all year round, as long as the lady likes it, this king is also willing to support this shop." Qi Jingyun said proudly, and his words were also in line with his usual temperament.

Ye Yungui was blocked by Qi Jingyun like this, so naturally it was not good to continue this topic, so he chatted about something else, and seeing that the time was almost up, he got up and left.

Seeing Ye Yungui leaving, Qiao Mingyue smiled, sure enough, it was not a fuel-efficient lamp, especially Ye Yungui, who came here this time to celebrate her shop, it was obvious that he was here to talk.

Qiao Mingyue thought carefully, Ye Yungui would suspect them, was it because they had gone to the altar too many times during this time?

But fortunately, this time it can be regarded as a fool, as long as you are careful in the future, it doesn't matter, besides, Tuoba Gong is also worried about those treasures, even if she finds out that she is stealing treasures, she doesn't dare to make a big deal and stab the emperor when she thinks about it.

At this point, Qiao Mingyue is not worried at all, because Tuoba Gong is not a fool, and Tuoba Gong will not do this kind of lose-lose behavior.

After a busy day, the two of them returned to the palace in the evening, and as soon as they returned, they heard from the guards of the small courtyard that the eunuch beside the emperor had just come to King Jin and said that there were some things to discuss with King Jin.

Qi Jingyun glanced at Qiao Mingyue and saw that her eyes were full of exhaustion, so he whispered: "Don't wait for me to come back, you eat first, if you are tired, you can rest first." ”

Nodding obediently, Qiao Mingyue stood at the door and watched Qi Jingyun leave, and then she returned to the room bored and took a book to hold.

At night, the lights in the room were already on, the windows were open, the breeze blew in through the windows, the candles in the room were swaying slightly, and in the quiet room, there was only the sound of crackling candles bursting and Qiao Mingyue's occasional flipping of books.

Originally, I wanted to wait for Qi Jingyun to come back and eat together, so Qiao Mingyue didn't pass the meal, just sat at the table and read a book and waited for Qi Jingyun.

Who knew that looking at it, I couldn't stand the exhaustion, so I fell asleep like this.

In the emperor's bedroom, the emperor sat on a high seat, looking coldly at the few people kneeling below, while Qi Jingyun stood to the side, frowning slightly.

"Say, what did you find?" The person kneeling on the ground was the secretary of the Criminal Department and some officials of the Criminal Department, who were kneeling on the ground at this moment in sincere fear, and listened to the emperor's question, so he raised his head and respectfully answered the emperor's question.

"Back to Your Majesty, we found a jade pendant from the assassin's body, which was carved with the totem of the Great Zhou, and the minister suspected that the assassin might be a member of the Great Zhou." When he said this, Yan Li, the secretary of the Criminal Department, did not forget to look up at Qi Jingyun who was standing aside.

The meaning couldn't be more obvious, the emperor snorted coldly and reprimanded: "In addition to the jade pendant, are there any other physical evidence?" Yan Li shook his head when he heard this, and the emperor scolded him for a word, so he didn't pay attention to him anymore, and only turned his head to look at Qi Jingyun.

The voice didn't have the annoyance just now, but as usual, people couldn't hear the joy and sorrow, "King Jin, what do you think of this matter?" ”

The emperor didn't want to offend Qi Jingyun without conclusive evidence, after all, behind Qi Jingyun was the Great Zhou, even if the Great Zhou State was weak now, it should not be underestimated, if the two countries really went to war, it would definitely be devastating.

Therefore, the emperor did not personally say his suspicions, but called Qi Jingyun and asked him to listen to the words of the criminal department Shangshu himself, so as to test Qi Jingyun's reaction.

"Your Majesty is both wise and brave, such a simple blame naturally can't hide from Your Majesty's eyes!" Qi Jingyun said in a deep voice, his eyes were calm, and he couldn't see any waves.

The emperor stared at Qi Jingyun for a long time before asking him what he said.

Qi Jingyun smiled, paced to the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and looked at him condescendingly, "Lord Yan is in charge of the Criminal Department, there should be a lot of case files he has seen, and there should be countless cases he has taken over, but the way the adult looks like this now really makes people doubt the ability of the adult to be qualified for the position of the Criminal Department!" ”

Yan Li had long heard that Qi Jingyun, the king of Jin, was a gentleman of the royal family, and he only thought that he could be speechless in three or two sentences, but he didn't expect that Qi Jingyun was so eloquent.

He looked up at Qi Jingyun, not daring to show his anger, he could only make himself look calmer, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"What do you mean?" Qi Jingyun laughed out loud when he heard this, as if he had heard a big joke.

Looking at the somewhat ugly face of Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Qi Jingyun said slowly: "It's very simple, if the assassination of His Majesty is done by an adult, will the adult engrave the family totem of the Yan family on his body?" ”

Yan Li was stunned when he heard this, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it, indeed, no one would bring something that could show their identity with them when they did such a thing.

Assassinating the emperor is a big crime of the Nine Clans, if it succeeds, it may not be able to escape, if it does not succeed and fails, it is very likely to be caught, and then it will be forgotten if he dies, and the entire family will be affected.

No one would be so stupid, smiling, Qi Jingyun stood up straight and looked at the emperor who had been squinting at the top of the play, "Your Majesty, even Lord Yan can think of a question, how could a group of assassins with such a careful mind not think of it?" ”

The emperor retracted his scrutinizing gaze and nodded lightly, "What King Jin said makes sense, but this matter is a big matter, and before it is investigated, it is still necessary to wronged King Jin and the princess to cooperate with the investigation of the Criminal Department." ”

The emperor softened his voice, and his words were also very tactful, Qi Jingyun nodded, he was no longer the impulsive he was at the beginning, and he naturally knew how to weigh the pros and cons.

Now that he is in Nanzhao, the person in front of him is the most powerful person in Nanzhao, and he doesn't want to go head-to-head with the person in front of him before he can't guarantee that he can leave Nanzhao safely.

"It's nature!" Qi Jingyun bowed, and the emperor reached out to rub his eyebrows, his tone full of exhaustion.

"Okay, don't mention this matter until you find it out, I'm tired, you all go down!" Qi Jingyun saluted and turned to leave, walked out of the emperor's bedroom, and Yan Li chased after him.
