Chapter Twenty-Three: Hypocritical Laughter

?

The royal car has entered Henan Road, and then it will be possible to arrive at the capital soon, and if you get off the boat from the capital, you can return to Xijing in time, but it is June at this time, and I heard that the emperor is preparing to spend the summer in the capital, and then return to Xijing in August.

The royal driver only made a short stop on the dock to replenish, but in such a short time, he still gave the second prince a chance to send someone to visit the Zheng family on the official ship, but his purpose was not achieved, and he was stopped by Yu Linwei, and the emperor scolded the messenger in anger and threw it into the river to feed the fish.

Alas, let me say what is good for enlightenment.

Zhongshu Ling has not been moved so far, he must know that he can't act rashly at this time, he should warn the second prince is, but the second prince doesn't seem to believe his grandfather, but is 'bewitched' by the Gu of enlightenment, and wants the second prince to be used by him willingly, and he can't be held accountable afterwards, what method did he use.

When I was thinking hard about the relationship between Qimin and the second prince, Jiang Shouquan came to see me in person, saying that the emperor was in a bad mood and asked me to take a look.

It's funny, I'm just a person who is disgusted by him, why let me go at this time, I don't want to hit the knife, looking for death.

However, he is angry for the second prince.

Even though the news reached my ears, I had to pretend I didn't know.

"The father-in-law is really joking, for the sake of the previous knock, the emperor is only afraid that there will be many complaints about the palace, how dare he go at this time, although Zheng Guifei is under house arrest, but the emperor has always loved the second prince and the sixth prince, the father-in-law came to invite the palace, it is better to invite the two of them!"

Jiang Shouquan looked like he had a headache and said: "Ouch, it was the second prince who made the emperor unhappy, no matter how stupid the servants were, they couldn't invite them, I'm afraid that the emperor would be even more angry!"

I pretended to be curious and asked, "No, the emperor has always valued the second prince, why would he be so angry!"

Jiang Shouquan sighed: "Alas, isn't it because of Concubine Zheng Guifei, the emperor explicitly forbade no one to visit, but the second prince didn't listen, and now the officials up and down are staring at the emperor's treatment of the concubine, thank God for not affecting the second prince, but the second prince ...... Doesn't this make the emperor lose face!"

Could it be that Qi Min is also active in the court, I don't know if I can take this opportunity to probe the emperor's tone.

With a silent 'color' on my face, I smiled at Jiang Shouquan and said, "So, let me prepare, and I'll go to the emperor to say goodbye later!"

Jiang Shouquan is very grateful, I asked Lixia to prepare some small snacks, changed into a dress to go, but I have lost a lot of weight since the beginning of the year, and I have not recovered until now, many clothes do not fit, this one on my body is still made in Yangzhou when I was in a hurry, although it is a folk style of half arm, fortunately, it does not look annoying, and the meal makes me look a few years younger.

In other words, I'm not old, I'm only eighteen years old.

I went to see the emperor with a small snack, Jiang Shouquan diligently helped me inform and invited me in, I smiled at him and approached Qiheng's side.

"Your Majesty, the concubine asked people to make some snacks, the emperor is tired, it is better to rest for a while, bird's nest snow clams and wolfberry mung bean cake, cool down and go to the fire, it is the best. I smiled and put the porcelain white kiln cup in front of him, and put the spoon and chopsticks on the ground.

Jiang Shouquan had a priori as usual, nodded to him, and then he took two bites symbolizing 'sex' and put it aside without moving.

"Is it not in line with the emperor's appetite, these minions are really, as soon as they leave the palace, they will be lazy, and the concubines will teach them a good lesson when they go back!"

"You all go out. "He ignored my chatter and ordered Jiang Shouquan and the others, the palace people all went out, closed the 'door', and then he raised his head, stared at me and asked, "You seem to be happy, I haven't seen your smile for a long time!"

My smile probably looked very gentle and charming, and when I heard him say this, I told him even more softly: "As long as the emperor likes it, the concubine will always smile at you like this!"

"I don't like it. He said coldly, "Such a hypocritical smile, let's put it away!"

"Oh, you don't like it, that's a shame. I still smiled and said, "Don't you know where that sincere smile has gone, I'm afraid, I can't get it back!"

He would rather I not laugh because that is my true emotion, and does he expect me to 'reveal' my true emotion to him.

But he didn't know, at least, I could still smile at him.

He continued to approve the folds, and I helped him grind them as I had done in the Yanying Palace.

He hadn't seen me since I was on the dragon boat, and I thought he would ask me in detail where I had been in the days since I was missing, but no, and it scared me even more, and I was afraid that he would secretly let people check on me, and if what I said was different from what he had found, he would know that I had lied.

I thought I should talk to Qi Min, although he said before that he would deal with the follow-up problems, but I was still a little worried, Qi Heng treated me now, and it was very different from before.

It turns out that the relationship is really mutual, what reason do I have to be tolerated by him.

Now, I put him in such a dilemma, I wonder if he will think about how to kill him as quickly as possible.

"This kind of thing is also worth playing, Jiangling Taishou is really full and has nothing to do. Suddenly angry, he folded the book aside.

I glanced at it casually, and immediately my eyelids jumped, and I quickly finished reading the content of the book, but after reading it, I was shocked and angry, and it was written that a family named "Yicui Building" next to the Huai River was burned, because it was daytime, there was no pick-up, but all eighteen prostitutes and 'women' in the whole building were burned to death.

Yi Cui Lou!!I was saved by Yi Liu there, and I was all burned to death, that, that Yi Liu...... Also dead,.

Who did this, I looked at Qi Heng, did he know anything, so ...... Holding the palm of Hui Mo, a cold sweat broke out.

But his face was as usual, and he didn't seem to pay attention to this matter at all, as if it was really nothing to him that a few prostitutes had died.

But there's my savior in there.

It's him, it's compassion.

I suddenly shuddered, and the aftermath that Qi Min said was nothing more than that!

I wanted to ask him about it, but I caught a glimpse of Qiheng stopping his pen and staring at me.

"Your Majesty, concubine...... "My face must be very unsightly, but I can't let him perceive my panic and anger.

But he said, "On such a hot day, you are shivering, are you very cold!"

"No, no, the concubine just suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and the concubine wanted to retire first. "I saluted him, and without waiting for him to reply, I turned and left, and he didn't stop me, and I went out of the 'door' and went straight to the floor where Qi Min was.
