The subordinate quickly brought up new dishes and chopsticks, and Qi Xiao motioned for the subordinate to go down.

"Come, princess, will you see if these dishes are to your liking?" Qi Xiao motioned for the princess to eat.

Qiyue nodded, approached the food on the dining table and said, "Well, I'm not a picky eater, I can eat anything." Then he sat down and picked up the food with chopsticks.

Qi Xiao also motioned for Mo Ran to eat, and Mo Ran looked at the princess who was going to marry King Yi a few days ago, but now she was sitting in Qi Mansion to eat, shook her head, and began to eat.

Qiyue felt that no one was talking, and this meal was not delicious, so she complained: "This meal is too boring, by the way, Qi Xiao, can I call you Qi Xiao?" ”

"The princess can call it whatever she wants?" The lower official will not say much.

As soon as the princess heard the word 'Xiaguan', she was not happy: "Can't you call me Qiyue?" And don't call yourself a subordinate. ”

"Princess, before you became Qi Xiao's wife, he was still the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, and you were still the princess of Dongyue Kingdom, your rank was higher than him, so he naturally wanted to be called a lower official." Mo Ran opened his mouth to speak and stopped, feeling that this princess is actually not bad in nature, and whoever thinks is good will be good to that person, and it is okay to say whatever it is behind closed doors in terms of etiquette, but not outside, and then said: "Moreover, this is in Qi Mansion, of course it is fine, if you call the princess your name outside, you will be punished." ”

Qi Xiao nodded and looked at Qiyue and said: "Yes, princess, in that case, before the emperor's holy decree, you can call it whatever you want in Qi Mansion, I still call you princess in Qi Mansion, I don't call it 'Xia Guan', but how to call it outside." ”

Qiyue nodded when she heard that it made sense.

"Since you agree, let's eat, the dishes are cold." Qi Xiao felt that the cold air emitted by Mo Ran's body could freeze people to death, so it was better to end this meal quickly.

"Father-in-law Sun, is the case of Qi Qiong at the last ancestor worship ceremony not closed, and the cases of the dozens of other dead people are still unclear, what is going on with this Dali Siqing?" The emperor suddenly turned to Qin Zhongqing's recital, which probably meant that the matter of the last ancestor worship ceremony did not give an explanation to the people, nor did he give an explanation to Huguo Temple, so he remembered.

"Back to the emperor, dozens of people died, the regent has already reported it, and it was you who pressed this case down, but Qi Qiong's Dali Temple really did not close the case, because the murderer could not be found, and I recently heard that Wen Ziran, the guest secretary of the Prime Minister's Mansion, also died of poisoning, and the daughter of Qin Shangshu's brother also died of poisoning, and the yamen received a report and found nothing, I don't know what the relationship between these three people is." Grandpa Sun reported the information he had recently obtained to the emperor.

"It's all poisoning? Can't find any clues? Could this be a ghost killing? The emperor stood up in shock, there is such a person in this world.

"Yes, so comparing Qi Qiong's case with these two cases, it can't be found out because there is too little evidence, and it's not to blame Dali Temple and Yamen." Grandpa Sun explained the reason.

"From now on, the murder case of Wen Ziran and Qin Jing will also be reviewed in Dali Temple, and the result will be obtained as soon as possible, I have the impression that when you say this, I was surprised when the regent brought the evidence, the murderer turned out to be ...... What does this mean for me. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, do you still need the regent to come to this matter?" Sun Gonggong wanted to say something, but the eunuch couldn't discuss political affairs, so he jumped out and pushed it to the regent.

"Well, please come to the regent, yes, there are also King Yi and Dali Siqing, the case was solved by the three of them, come to all three." After the emperor finished speaking, he took a sip of tea and sat down again, and took out the evidence presented by the regent from the box.

"Yes, the minion will pass the decree." Grandpa Sun bent down and exited the imperial study.

"Qi Xiao, I should go back, since you and the princess may get married, let's get to know each other first." Ink Dye felt that he was not suitable here, so he stood up and prepared to leave.

"You stay a little longer, and you'll be fine when you go back." Qi Xiao also stood up and wanted to stop Mo Ran, but seeing Mo Ran's resolute look, he didn't say anything more.

"Princess, the folk girl is retiring." Ink Dye leaned out the door and left.

As soon as she left the gate of Qi Mansion, she was pulled into a small alley by Mo Xiang, and Mo Ran looked at her calmly: "Sister Mo Xiang, what's the matter?" ”

"The landlord said that the next task is to kill the prince, let me cooperate with you to complete it." Mo Xiang said the task coldly.

"What, Prince? Isn't the prince only 5 years old? So cruel? Mo Ran was shocked on the surface, but he had doubts in his heart from the beginning of killing Qi Xiao, but he couldn't help but listen to the landlord's words: "You let me delay for two days first, and then I will inform you when I'm ready, the landlord didn't say the time for this task, and he shouldn't ask for time." ”

Mo Xiang nodded and said, "Okay, get ready to inform me." ”

Mo Ran never suspected the Phantom Building before, but since he came to Yun Qin Kingdom, he has become more and more suspicious, especially when he saw Mo Yanyu's ethereal master, the intermittent picture that appeared was very different from what the master said, thinking of this, Mo Ran wanted to go to King Yi's Mansion to find Mo Yanyu and ask.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of King Yi's mansion, Mo Ran was told that Mo Yanyu had entered the palace by order.

Mo Ran nodded and was about to leave, but was stopped by Mo's mother: "Girl, girl." ”

Mo Ran looked back at Mother Mo and laughed: "Mother Mo, is there something wrong with me?" ”

"Girl, I only made ten pieces of cloth out of fifty pieces last time, didn't I just make a few pieces that I wanted to give to the prince, but I met you and gave it to you directly, don't you come in and sit?" Mo's mother invited, and Mo Ran reluctantly walked in and said: "Just so you can try a set first, the material of this cloth is suitable for the current temperature, yarn, I made a full-breasted skirt, and I picked a brocade silk fabric for the next cloth, and I plan to make a color skirt for the girl, the color skirt will lengthen the person's figure and make people look more slender." Then I won't bother the girl to try on clothes. ”

Mo Yanyu, Yun Yitian and Xia Qian met at the gate of the palace and each understood in their hearts what the emperor's decree was about, everyone knew it, and the three of them entered the palace together after greeting each other.

"Your Majesty, what are you looking for the three of us to do? Did you come to ask about the last ancestor worship ceremony? "Mo Yanyu made a preemptive move, because Qin Zhongqing had already revised the book and said that he had submitted the recital.

"The royal brother deserves to be the imperial brother, this is already known? That's right, today I'm here to ask you how you checked? "The emperor avoids the important and takes it lightly.

"Is it the case of Qi Qiong's father-in-law, or the case of more than 50 deaths?" The regent asked: "In the case where more than 50 people died, the minister has already submitted evidence, but the emperor ......."

"I know who did this, but she's my queen mother, the current queen mother, and I can't... Do so. The emperor said he was helpless.

"Your Majesty, it has always been said that the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, why is it not here for the Queen Mother?" Mo Yanyu started the atmosphere as soon as he heard it today.

"Brother Huang, although this is reasonable, but ......" The emperor was interrupted by Mo Yanyu before he finished speaking: "Your Majesty, since you don't make an order, of course we have no choice, but the minister believes that there will be no less retribution." What Mo Yanyu said was actually for himself.

However, this sentence touched the emperor, and the emperor paced a few steps on it and immediately turned around and said: "Father-in-law Sun, immediately decree that the queen mother is in the harem, trying to discuss the government in vain, and intends to hurt people's lives. The aunt in charge of the Queen Mother's side is now punishing all the palace maids and eunuchs involved in the Huguo Temple case to beat to death with sticks for provoking the Queen Mother to discuss the government and politics in vain and directly injuring people's lives, so as to set an example. "Grandpa Sun received the holy decree and immediately ran out to announce it.

Mo Yanyu's plan is one step closer.

"Xia Aiqing, how is Qi Qiong's case investigated?" The emperor shifted his attention to Xia Qian.

"Back to the emperor, the ministers are incompetent, and they still can't find anything." Xia Qian was so embarrassed that he was about to cry.

"You can't blame Xia Qing for going back to the emperor, you can't find out how Father-in-law Qi got the poison in this case, if you can't find out who the poison came from, then you can only count it as suicide." The Regent stepped forward to speak.

"Then what's going on with the guest Qing of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the only daughter of the Qin family's old mansion recently? How on earth did they not find out the poison? The emperor then asked.

"Your Majesty, these two cases are not necessarily committed by one person, nor are they necessarily related to the case of Father-in-law Qi, according to the investigation of the minister, the guest secretary who died in the Prime Minister's Mansion is called Wen Ziran, and the imperial doctor in the palace has investigated that this Wen Ziran is ****, and he has been poisoned for more than a month, indicating that it is an acquaintance who committed the crime, and he often comes into contact with Wen Ziran; As for the only daughter of the Qin family, she died immediately after being poisoned, and she fainted outside the woman's boudoir with a Qin maid, who woke up with complete amnesia. However, the Prime Minister's Mansion has not entered a newcomer in the past 3 years, and the only daughter of the Qin family has never been in contact with anyone in the deep boudoir, so in the minister's opinion, one is a deliberate murder, and the other is just venting anger, so the murderer in these two cases should not be a person. Mo Yanyu returned by doing his own investigation.

After hearing this, the emperor also nodded: "It seems that this is true, but it still has to be investigated, Xia Aiqing, these three cases are handed over to Dali Temple to investigate." The emperor looked at Xia Qian.

Xia Qian sighed silently and arched his hand: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

When Qi Xiao was chatting with the princess about his family history, someone came to report: "Master, Prime Minister Qi invites you to come over to the house." ”

Qi Xiao nodded: "I see." The princess ......"

Qiyue knew it was time to go: "Father summoned to go immediately, and the princess took her leave first." ”

"Congratulations to the princess." Qi Xiao arched his hand.

After sending off the princess, Qi Xiao immediately went to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Dad, what are you looking for me?" Qi Xiao asked as soon as he entered the door.

"You're an official, and you're still like this?" Prime Minister Qi turned around and scolded.

"You also know that I am an official, but you dislike me as an official, don't you? Say, what's the matter? Qi Xiao knew what this father was like.

"I heard that the princess is going to marry you, you have to seize the opportunity to have more contact with the emperor of Dongyue at that time, and help your father open up the road again." The prime minister laughed as he spoke.

"I can't help you in this matter, it's not up to me whether the princess marries or not, and she is married to our Yunqin Kingdom, and it's not that I joined the Dongyue Kingdom, and I can't get in touch with Emperor Dongyue, and the princess has repeatedly said today that she doesn't want to be related to the Dongyue Kingdom, so even if she becomes my wife, I will respect her ideas, don't even think about it." Qi Xiao said something like this in front of the prime minister for the first time: "Then father, do you have anything else?" If not, the son will enter the palace. ”

"You, you rebel, why are you so disobedient?" The prime minister sat angrily on the chair.

"I was taught by you if I was disobedient, and I don't have a mother, didn't you teach me or who taught me? Well, in order not to make the father angry and to make the father's mood better, the son left first. After Qi Xiao finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Prime Minister Qi there to exhale vigorously, but Qi Xiao turned around and said something that startled the Prime Minister: "Dad, my mother has been gone for so long, no matter how much you repent, it is useless, so it is better to go outside the city less, so you don't have to be suspicious anymore." After speaking, Qi Xiao strode out.

Qi Xiao's words made the prime minister's eyes widen, it turned out that his son knew everything.
