The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.

Rows of candles lit in the study illuminate the room. In the huge imperial study, except for the emperor sitting on the dragon chair with a blank face, and the young man wearing a dark robe who was kneeling down, there was no third person in sight. Even the chamberlains who served by the emperor's side on weekdays were not in the imperial study.

There was not a sound in the large room, but it was so quiet that heavy breathing could be heard from the mouth and nose of the young man below. The Yellow Emperor was holding the secret report he had just received from this young man, and the emperor, who had always been in a high position and had never been moody, had an uncontrollable expression on his face for the first time. The young man stared at the ground without squinting, obviously not caring about the emotions of this Ninety-Five Venerable.

I don't know how long it took for the young man to hear the voice of the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, and he asked him, "Is this true?" ”

The young man bowed his head to the emperor, and then his cold and emotionless voice came from the imperial study: "The things presented to the emperor are all things that are obtained by the subordinates who have personally verified them. The subordinates assured the emperor that every word was true! ”

When he had heard this, the emperor was satisfied, and he waved his hand at the young man, and said, "All right, you can also go down and rest." Recently you can go out and rest for a few days. ”

The young man nodded knowingly, this was the reward given to him by the emperor. As the sound of unhurried footsteps disappeared, the emperor was completely left alone in the imperial study. It wasn't until after the young man left that he was still holding the secret report in his hand and was unwilling to let go. He laughed out loud.

The secret report handed in by the young man clearly wrote the details of the soldier squire, he was a spy from Beiyan, and it was because of the clue that the soldier was a spy of Beiyan, and finally found Qi Chengan. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qi Cheng'an, who came from Beiyan, was only then seen by the emperor that his conspiracy was clear.

In fact, as long as Qi Cheng'an is found out, the emperor can now send troops to capture Qi Cheng'an.

But in the end, the emperor put away the secret report he had received from the young man just now, and did not call for someone to arrest Cheng An. Slowly, impatient. This is the experience he has learned from being emperor for so many years.

Right now, Qi Chengan is right under his nose, and he has a way to make Qi Chengan unable to return to Beiyan.

The next day, all the courtiers noticed that the emperor of today was somewhat different from the emperors of the past. The emperor's heart was unpredictable, and they couldn't see what the emperor was thinking in his heart, so they all closed their mouths and carefully waited for the emperor who could make them die with a word.

When it was time for the last dynasty, the ministers stood neatly according to their previous positions, waiting for the emperor to speak.

The hall was very large, and the emperor had changed into a dragon robe, and he sat on the dragon chair with his back straight, and his eyes swept over the faces of each minister from left to right. At this time, the courtiers used all bowed their heads, and the more timid ones even trembled faintly.

"Your Majesty, is there a happy event?" The one who stood up to speak was the prime minister of the dynasty, who was over half a year old and white, and was an old minister who had been working with him since the current saint ascended the throne. He was not as afraid of the emperor as the other ministers. Sure enough, as soon as the prime minister's words came out, the emperor sitting on the dragon chair looked at him with a look of surprise. praised him: "Aiqing is really the person who knows me the most in this hall." ”

The prime minister saluted the emperor and replied, "The old minister doesn't dare." However, the emperor didn't care about his words anymore, and the prime minister's words successfully opened the beginning of what the emperor wanted to say, so he no longer hid it, looked at the ministers below, and said, "I just got a piece of news last night. ”

No one spoke, and no one dared to interrupt the emperor's words at this time, everyone listened carefully, "Do you Aiqing know who that soldier is?" ”

A minister came out and said the name of the squire of the military department, but the emperor shook his head and said, "Definitely." I just learned last night that the squire of the military department was a spy sent by Beiyan. ”

This caused an uproar. When there is even the identity of the squire of the military department, I think of Qi Chengan. The emperor sent troops to Qi Cheng's place to live and invited him in another voice.

Not long after, Qi Cheng'an, who was wearing a moon-white robe, was invited in from outside. He had an elegant temperament, and when he saw the emperor, he saluted without finding any mistakes, and immediately asked: "I don't know what happened to Your Majesty suddenly bringing Cheng'an here?" ”

Seeing his indifferent appearance, the emperor instantly became angry, he slapped the armrest of the dragon chair fiercely, and said angrily: "I just found out that the squire of the military department is a spy sent by your Beiyan, Qi Cheng'an, what other explanation do you have!" Come to our country, but have bad intentions! ”

The people in the hall didn't dare to make a sound, Qi Chengan looked at the emperor and laughed, and then he arched his hand towards the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, you found out that the squire of the military department is my spy of Beiyan, what does it have to do with me?" Besides, Your Majesty, you said that I have bad intentions, and dare to ask me if there are any bad things in these days when I came? ”

The emperor was countered by Qi Cheng'an. Indeed, it was found out that the squire of the military department had little to do with him Qi Chengan, and he had not done anything bad. The Emperor looked at him speechless. Qi Cheng'an's face looked completely lifeless, and he said to the emperor again: "Since there is nothing to do, then Cheng'an will retire first." ”

Out of the palace, Qi Chengan rode through a lively and bustling street, but was attracted by the voice of a woman in front of him. He blew up, and the next moment he ran over, and suddenly said behind her, "Sorry for the night, come have a meal with me." It's almost noon. Mu Xiwan was taken aback by him, and when she saw Qi Chengan, her face instantly turned bad, and she gritted her teeth and scolded: "Qi Chengan, you have such a big face." ”

"I'm not available, so you might as well find someone else." After Mu Xiwan finished speaking, he wanted to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Qi Cheng'an on a horse.

Qi Chengan looked at her and said with a smile: "Isn't it just a meal together, sorry for the night, what are you afraid of?"

Mu Xiwan only felt that this Qi Cheng'an was terrible now, and she never knew what crazy things he would do in the next moment under his gentle and elegant face.

Mu Xiwan glanced at her coldly, her face showed a look of displeasure, and she said unmoved: "I'm not available." ”

After that, Mu Xiwan ran away as if she was running away, and she was not until she could no longer see Qi Cheng'an's figure behind her, and she slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Reason told her that Qi Chengan must not have a good heart when he looked for her.
