Chapter 272: Stay
When the news reached the palace of the king of Chu, Qi Yu was sitting in the pavilion with Meng Qi in his mansion drinking tea.
The two handsome men looked at each other, and the cold atmosphere had been circulating between the two of them for almost a cup of tea. Qi Yu took the initiative to find Meng Qi to drink tea, but the two of them didn't say anything and sat quietly all the time.
In the end, it was Meng Qi who took the lead in speaking: "His Highness came to me for something I was hiding. ”
Qi Yu didn't speak, just picked up the tea cup in front of him and took another sip, with indifference in his eyes.
In desperation, Meng Qi had no choice but to speak again: "Your Highness, rest assured, since Meng Qi has decided to let go of the past, he will inevitably let go completely, and besides, His Highness is not very clear about the relationship between me and the princess?" ”
"Do you think the princess knows, your father is the king of the Western Regions who strongly advocated sending Miao Ya to Han Zhaoguo and kiss, guess what she will do according to her temperament?" Qi Yu put down the tea cup in his hand, his eyes were cold.
The affairs of the Western Regions were complicated, and he didn't want Zhou Huan to get involved.
Previously, Meng Qi did have a grudge against the people of the Western Regions, but those people were not his parents, just cronies. As for why he was hunted down by the people of the Western Regions, it was just a struggle between branch factions.
"Don't worry, I feel disgusting with this identity myself."
was abandoned by his father when he was young, and he came to Han Zhaoguo just to live, it was the master who gave him the opportunity to live, and it was Zhou Huan who gave him the so-called warmth. Although Zhou Huan didn't know, he was her uncle's eldest son and her cousin.
In the face of Meng Qi's answer, Qi Yu's eyebrows seemed to have two more satisfied looks. "That's just right, Han Zhaoguo raised you."
Actually, Qi Yu is more like saying: Han Zhaoguo raised Zhou Huan.
But Zhou Huan cares about these people, if he doesn't keep it for her, I'm afraid it will still give him a headache in the future.
Thinking like this, Qi Yu's complexion became more and more.
"One last thing!" Qi Yu suddenly spoke.
He raised his head and looked at Meng Qi quietly, and then Meng Qi also raised his head and met Qi Yu's eyes without hesitation, "He values you very much and thinks you are his most important brother, so he ......"
"Are you ready?"
Qi Yu knew Chu Xingchen's temper, and he also knew that he had been a person who would not let go of the truth since he was a child, so he had to put a little effort into being a brother.
A smile appeared on the corner of Meng Qi's lips, "Of course." ”
Although it is not said to be valued or criticized, that is not an important thing. What matters is who is standing next to you in the face of all this.
Seeing that the smile on the corner of Meng Qi's lips was getting worse and worse, Qi Yu asked suspiciously, "Why are you laughing?" ”
Meng Qi nodded, picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip with an unfathomable look, and then pursed his lips and said, "Chu Xingchen said, you are the person who cares about him the most in this world. ”
Hearing this, Qi Yuleng froze in place.
After knowing each other for so many years, Chu Xingchen rarely praised him in front of others.
In order to save himself, Chu Xingchen wanted to study medicine wholeheartedly. On the night when Qi Yu was cured, Chu Xingchen rarely hugged Qi Yu and cried all night.
Since then, the two have become what they are now.
"He left when he was young, but he is actually the kindest person in his heart."
After saying that, Qi Yu suddenly felt that this didn't seem to be like what a person like himself said, so in the end, he just coughed awkwardly, preparing to take a sip of hot tea to hide his embarrassment.
As a result, Chu Xingchen suddenly rushed over from a short distance.
"What? Can't wait all this time? Qi Yu laughed and teased.
Who knows, Chu Xingchen's face was ugly, he clutched the things in his hand tightly, and then pursed his lips and said, "Something happened in the palace." ”
Meng Qi immediately got up and looked at Chu Xingchen, "What's the matter?" ”
"The emperor didn't appear for a long time this morning, and later sent someone to see it only to find that the emperor had been poisoned, and the only people present were ......"
"Qingqing!"
The teacup in Qi Yu's hand fell to the ground in response, counting the time, and she hasn't come back now, I'm afraid it's ......
"I'll go to the palace." Qi Yu ignored the wet under his feet, and immediately prepared to go to the palace.
Zhou Huan definitely wouldn't poison the emperor, so she should have been misunderstood, or maybe it was a trap. The more he thought about it, the more Qi Yu felt that there seemed to be a slight fog barrier in front of him suddenly.
Chu Xingchen behind him immediately stretched out his hand and grabbed Qi Yu, "It just so happened that Master Shen was also there in the morning today." ”
"Master Shen?" Meng Qi was the first to speak, "The day of the emperor's poisoning is the annual day when Shen Taishi is in the court, I am afraid that this was done by Concubine Ming, after all, the people of the Western Regions." ”
As soon as he clicked it, Meng Qi spoke, and Qi Yu on the side also had his own thoughts in his heart.
"In that case, I'll go to the palace, and I'm not worried about her alone." Qi Yu still decided to enter the palace, what happened in the palace, the emperor must know something. Seek the magic TXT
Meng Qi behind him nodded, "Since it was poisoned, then Concubine Ming must have also appeared, I'll go and find it with Bai Zhao." ”
"When did you get acquainted with Baizhao?" Chu Xingchen subconsciously spoke, and then suddenly realized that the current scene was inappropriate, and then shut up.
"Chu Xingchen, find a way to meet Master Shen." After saying that, Qi Yu immediately turned around and left.
There are some things that his current identity is not suitable to say, but Chu Xingchen's identity is the most suitable.
Chu Xingchen, who stayed in place, looked at Meng Qi in wonder, and then Meng Qi reluctantly spoke, "You say, what would a shrewd person like Master Shen choose in the face of a daughter who is no longer useful, or the fame of the entire court and the opposition?" Especially if his reputation is damaged, it is very likely that the emperor and ministers will abandon him because of this. ”
Hearing this, Chu Xingchen suddenly understood, and he nodded, "Understood, I will have a good chat with Taishi Shen and let him make the right choice." ”
"Okay." Meng Qi nodded, ready to turn around and leave, "I'll go find Baizhao now." ”
After taking two steps forward, he suddenly stopped, "Chu Xingchen, thank you." ”
Thank you for everything he has done for so long, and thank you for taking care of Zhou Huan.
Then Chu Xingchen suddenly walked to Meng Qi's side, and then sighed and said, "Speaking of which, you don't believe it, I think all this is a lot better because of you." ”
Hearing this, Meng Qi stretched out his hand and patted Chu Xingchen's shoulder, and then pursed his lips and smiled: "Don't worry, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has already said that he will always support me." ”
After speaking, Meng Qi strode away, while Chu Xingchen behind him was messy in the wind.
This......
Wait, shouldn't you say this to him yourself?
Qi Yu, this bastard, this kind of benefit has to be robbed!
After Qi Yu decided to enter the palace, he did not waste time at all, and immediately entered the palace.
At the door of the emperor's upper study, a group of guards who were under black pressure at the moment couldn't even fly in. Seeing Qi Yu coming, the first person to react was Lord Zhou, the commander of the guards.
"Your Highness." Lord Zhou used to be Qi Yu's old department, and it was important to respect the stupid Qi Yu.
Qi Yu nodded, "What about the princess?" ”
"This ......"
Faced with Qi Yu's direct entry, Lord Zhou seemed a little caught off guard. When he hesitated, the door to the study was suddenly opened, and an old man with thin body and white hair and long beard appeared in front of Qi Yu.
"Your Highness, don't be impatient." The person who spoke was none other than Taishi Shen, the father of Concubine Ming, and the elder of the Three Dynasties of Han Zhaoguo, who was in a high position.
"Taishi, I want to see my father and Qingqing." Qi Yu suppressed the mustard in his heart, and just said as calmly as possible.
Shen Taishi and Ming Guifei are both related to the people of the Western Regions, Qi Yu didn't think that this Taishi with a deep city government would deal with it so easily, just as he was thinking about it, Shen Taishi took a step back.
"Your Highness, please."
Although Qi Yu wondered in his heart, he didn't have time to think about anything because he was in a hurry, so he had to hurriedly step in. Then, Master Shen nodded at Lord Zhou, and the guards surrounded him bustling again.
"Father." Qi Yu hurriedly saluted the emperor, but looked at the room and found that there was no Zhou Huan.
Taishi Shen on the side looked like he knew it in his heart, and said slowly: "Your Highness, the Seventh Princess is suspected of poisoning the emperor and has been imprisoned. ”
"Imprisoned?" Qi Yu frowned and looked at Taishi Shen, and approached step by step, "Qingqing has injuries on her body, how can she bear it in that place in the prison!" ”
"Your Highness?"
Taishi Shen was surprised by the anger in Qi Yu's eyes, he was well versed in strategy, he was used to seeing countless people playing tricks, so in an instant, he had a strange guess in his heart. "Your Highness, Your ......"
"That girl is fine, it's next door."
Suddenly, the emperor on the bed interrupted Shen Taishi's words with his mouth, and by the way, Qi Yu quickly quieted down.
"Father?" In order to cover up Fang Cai's gaffe, Qi Yu immediately pushed away Taishi Shen and knelt down in front of the emperor. "Qingqing won't, no, father."
In order to hide his identity, Qi Yu could only open his mouth like this, but he believed that the emperor understood what he meant.
But who knows, the emperor raised his weak arm and pointed to Taishi Shen not far away. "Taishi Shen is also thinking about my safety, and, Old Seven, I only believe in evidence."
"But!" Qi Yu argued, but he didn't know where to speak.
In the end, Taishi Shen, who was still on the side, took the initiative to speak: "Your Highness, although the princess helped the emperor stabilize his condition, the poison was still in the emperor's body, and only the princess was present at that time. ”
The implication of Shen Taishi's words is already very clear, that is, Zhou Huan was arrested, and everyone has stolen goods, and now the only way is to clear his own charges.
But why would Taishi Shen help him?
"Then I'll go see Qingqing." Qi Yu didn't have time to think about anything for the time being, because he was worried about Zhou Huan and still felt that seeing Zhou Huan was the most important thing, so that he could determine what was going on.
