This lunch, I ate frightened, inexplicable, although the rumored Emperor Qi is a gentle and benevolent emperor, but which of the ancient and modern emperors is a real benevolent person?

He couldn't just want me to see the couple's yearning for the lives of the people, right?

I bowed my head and groaned, and was led by the leading eunuch to the palace gate.

"Lord Shen Xiang, Your Majesty asked the servant to convey a word to you." The leading eunuch bent down and bowed his head, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty said that today's matter is a secret between you and Your Majesty, and you must not disclose it to others." ”

I smiled lightly and said, "If you want to ask your father-in-law to return to Your Majesty, I will say that I will keep Your Majesty's words in my heart." ”

The eunuch who led the way answered "yes", and then went back the way he came.

"Your Excellency." As soon as Bai Zhi saw my figure, he immediately walked towards me quickly, he looked at me worriedly, wanted to say something but didn't say anything because the timing was wrong.

Behind him was a large group of servants and officials, who could not keep up with him, so they could only trot over, and when they came to me, they saluted me one by one, half-panting, especially the old man with a white beard, who was surrounded by everyone, who could barely stand on his feet, and was supported by the little man behind him.

"I've seen Shen Xiang of Qinguo." The old man beckoned to me, and when I saw that he was dressed differently, I immediately leaned down and saluted back.

"This is the official book of the Ministry of Rites of the Qi Kingdom, Lord Wei Renwei." Bai Zhi also introduced to me.

"It turned out to be Lord Shangshu." I smiled and arched my hand at him again.

Wei Ren saw that although I became famous at a young age, I was not arrogant and arrogant, and my heart that had been hanging couldn't help but let go, and said to me, "Your Majesty has an order, and we must treat you well, all the things in the annex have been taken care of, and the people who travel with you, we have also properly placed them in the annex, I don't know if you want to go to the annex now, or do you want to take a walk in this Biancheng?" ”

I thought about it for a while, and said in a deep voice, "I am very tired from meeting His Majesty Emperor Qi today, so let's go back to the annex to rest first." ”

When Wei Ren heard me say this, he immediately stepped out of the way and said respectfully, "The carriage has been prepared, please Shen Xiang get on the carriage." ”

I nodded politely to him and took Bai Zhi back into the carriage. The coachman of the carriage asked me if I could leave now, and Bai Zhi answered yes for me, so the horseman raised his whip and drove the carriage to the annex, and as for the officials in front of the palace gate, they each got into the rest of the carriage and followed behind us.

"Bai Langzhong, after the prime minister left with Emperor Qi, you were received by the people from the Ministry of Rites?" I leaned my whole body against the wall behind me and closed my eyes slightly.

Bai Zhi replied, "Yes, at that time, Lord Wei Ren came to me and wanted to arrange me and everyone in the envoy team to enter the annex, but because the last general refused, he had to wait for you to come back no matter what, so Lord Wei Ren asked me to wait outside the palace gate with him. ”

"In the midst of this, did anyone see you alone?" I continued to ask him.

Bai Zhi also shook his head, "The last general has no chance to be alone with others, Lord Wei Ren has always followed the last general." ”

"Really?" I frowned in thought.

Anyway, I would never believe that Emperor Qi took me and Gu Yuancheng to the deserted garden on a whim, and I have investigated the deserted garden, although there is no strong murderous aura, but there are indeed a lot of secret guards densely arranged around it, and it would be too far-fetched to say that so many secret guards were just to protect Emperor Qi.

They shouldn't have been arranged by Emperor Qi to get rid of me, so there is only one last reason left.

"The emperor of a country, who does he need to guard against?" I couldn't help but open my eyes and mutter.

"What did you say, sir?" Bai Zhi also heard me mutter, but he didn't quite understand the meaning of my words.

I sat up straight, stared at Bai Zhihuan's eyes, and asked him softly, "Have you ever been alone with Wei Ren?" ”

Bai Zhi also looked at me, and his heart was stunned, so he came to his senses, "Yes, Lord Wei Ren and I left the palace alone, and the rest of the officials came one after another." ”

"What did he tell you?" I followed up.

Bai Zhi also recalled slightly, and said, "Although Lord Wei Ren and I went out of the palace alone, he didn't say anything strange during this period, it was nothing more than ordinary greetings, and let the last general be calm and wait for you at the palace gate with him...... By the way, he also asked me if you were really incompatible with Gu Xiang, and the general didn't answer him considering that it was about your reputation, but he seemed to have some opinions. ”

Sure enough, Emperor Qi separated me from the envoy team, just to take the opportunity to test the relationship between me and Gu Yuancheng.

I lowered my eyes and thought about my thoughts carefully, although all this made sense, but I always felt that something was weird, such as the relationship between Emperor Qi and Gu Yuancheng could be so good that he could be called a brother, if he really had any doubts, why not just ask Gu Yuancheng, with Gu Yuancheng's temperament, he would not say everything in 1510, and he would definitely find a way to dispel Emperor Qi's doubts.

This is really strange, and the assassination of the Thousand Lights Festival, although I recovered my vision in that assassination by accident, but putting aside Gu Yuancheng deliberately injuring himself, how did those people in the Blood Alliance get the news and know that Gu Yuancheng and I would appear there?

Is it to put eyeliner in the national mansion? It's impossible, they don't have the ability, so they keep their eyes on the outside of the Guogong Mansion? It is impossible, Gu Yuancheng will definitely not allow anyone to dare to spy on him.

"What are you worried about?" Bai Zhi also looked at me, "Our trip is only for the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries, as for the rest, we don't need to pay attention to it." "Just go and listen to the book

I was stunned and silent.

After a while, I asked him aloud, "Did Cen Xi tell you anything?" ”

Bai Zhi hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

I frowned.

"It's Lord Du Rong." Bai Zhi also saw that I had been staring at him, not speaking, and not pressing, so he couldn't help but feel furious in his heart, and reluctantly confessed, "Lord Du Rong secretly mixed in the envoy's team, and the last general was also found today when he took the initiative to find the last general." “

"What did he tell you?" I'll hold my forehead.

This Du Rong, if the emperor knows about his coming to Qi Kingdom, will he still have the life to return to Qizhou?

"Lord Du Rong said, you always like to be stumped by all kinds of things, so let me be sure to find the right time to remind you not to worry about other people's affairs." Bai Zhi also explained honestly.

"Don't worry about other people's affairs?" I gritted my teeth, "If only he could remember this sentence himself!" ”

Bai Zhi also saw my angry appearance, and chose to be silent with interest.

"Bai Langzhong." I reluctantly suppressed the anger in my heart, and looked at Bai Zhihuan in a deep voice.

"Yes." Bai Zhi still vaguely knew what I was going to say, and lowered his head slightly.

"The prime minister knows that you are a loyal and patriotic person, but the prime minister also hopes that you will understand that officialdom does things, and everything needs to be faced." I said to him, "Lord Du mixed in and out of the envoy team, I hope you can keep your mouth shut, Lord Du is a confidant and friend of the prime minister, if he is reprimanded by the emperor because of this, the prime minister will be unbearable, do you understand?" ”

Bai Zhi had always heard how the people around him praised the young prime minister, and he was not very convinced, until that day when he witnessed her parade in the capital from the attic, he faced Gu Xiang's layers of traps, and always responded calmly and calmly counterattacked, so he understood why the young master's master would praise her so much.

Now, he knows that he is the one who grabbed her handle, but in the face of her secret threat, he still can't help but feel chills in his heart, especially the way she looks at herself, which is obviously very ordinary, but it seems to be cold to the bone.

"Don't worry, sir." Bai Zhi also said respectfully, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already explained, in the Qi Kingdom, your words are words that must be obeyed." ”

When I heard this, I put away the pretentious expression on my face, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "It turns out that you are his person, I said it earlier, and I was worried about it for a while." ”

Bai Zhi also looked at me, and suddenly asked, "If the last general insists that he wants to report to the emperor, are you going to kill the last general?" ”

After a pause, I smiled and withdrew my hand, "This appearance has never been a person who kills people at will, not to mention that you are an official of the imperial court, and there are beautiful women waiting for you." You know, don't misunderstand what you are. ”

Bai Zhihuan finally understood the meaning of the person in front of him, he stiffened his body and did not speak again.

When I saw him like this, I couldn't help but wonder if I was talking too hard, and I really wanted to save my image in his mind, so the carriage stopped.

"Lord Shen Xiang, please get out of the car." Wei Ren's voice came from outside the carriage.

I straightened my robe, got up and got out of the curtain that Bai Zhishe had opened.

"Shen Xiang." Wei Ren smiled and said to me, "The annex has arrived, I'll take you in." ”

I tapped my head.

Seeing this, Wei Ren walked ahead of me first, and I followed him.

"My lord, I heard that you like some beautiful concubines the most, so I specially prepared a gift for you, I hope you can like it." Wei Ren said with a smile.

I was stunned for a moment, and then asked him carelessly, "Who did Wei Shangshu listen to?" ”

Wei Ren thought I was embarrassed, so he lowered his voice and said to me, "Don't worry, Your Majesty is not aware of this matter, and we will never damage Your Excellency's reputation in Your Majesty." ”

Listening to what he said so mysterious, I couldn't help but be curious, didn't the beautiful concubine he said only refer to beauties?

"It won't be Prime Minister Gu Cheng who revealed the news to Shangshu, right?" I stood still in front of the bedroom door and looked at Wei Ren suspiciously.

Seeing that I had guessed it, Wei Ren's expression on his face froze, and he raised his hand to say "rudeness", and left in a hurry with the officials.
