But now, Chu Jifeng's reputation is getting better and better, and it is not impossible to compete for the throne.

丽阳呵气如兰，道：“臣妾明白，外头人不知道皇上如何忧国忧民，可臣妾是知道的。 ”

The aroma is getting stronger.

"Only Concubine Ai understands me and understands me."

Emperor Qiwu's eyes were confused, and he only felt that the fragrance hit his heart.

Almost involuntarily, I want to kiss Fangze.

Gonggong An has been serving Emperor Qiwu for a long time, it's not that he hasn't seen such a scene, he is not as ashamed as other little eunuchs, but beckons and makes the palace people withdraw.

Gonggong An also walked out, and when he closed the door, he saw that Emperor Qiwu couldn't hold it down.

He lowered his eyes and told everyone in the palace to step away.

Still, there was a small wheezing sound from within.

The little eunuch couldn't help but look back a few times, and finally said in a low voice: "Master, this is the imperial study...... If the ministers find out, I'm afraid there will be trouble again. ”

Grandpa An stood in the cold wind, still straightening his waist: "So you'd better keep your mouths shut, if today's events get out, be careful of your heads!" ”

The palace people lowered their heads and replied resignedly.

I don't know how long it took, the neatly dressed Liyang opened the door, and Yingying walked out of it.

If you look closely, a lot of her makeup has been erased, and there are some marks on her neck, and the palace people only dare to look at it secretly, and they don't dare to look up again.

"Father-in-law An, the emperor is tired of dealing with government affairs and is resting, you can go in and serve later." Liyang said.

"Yes, mother, go slowly." Father-in-law An's voice was respectful.

Ah Luo hurriedly stepped forward to help the person, and Liyang seemed to be tired and walked a little unsteadily.

Leaving the scope of the imperial study, Ah Luo dared to ask: "Princess, have you got it?" ”

Liyang's face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "I got it." ”

Only then did she spread out her hand, holding a small fiery red ball in the palm of her hand, and a smile appeared on her face.

Ah Luo was also overjoyed, and said, "Great, the princess got such an important thing for King Ling, King Ling will definitely be grateful to you, and the lord of the country will be safe." ”

Liyang gasped, her headache intensified, and she was nauseous and vomiting, which was the after-effect of her use of this spice.

She stuffed the flame bead to Ah Luo and said, "Emperor Daqi is a suspicious person, this flame bead can't be taken back for the time being, you ...... You just find a place to hide first. ”

"Yes." Ah Luo took it, thinking about helping Liyang go back first.

Liyang shook his head and urged, "Hurry up, if we make the slightest mistake, we will all die." ”

Ah Luo had to hurry up, but fortunately there was no snow today, so there would be no footprints.

Liyang endured the discomfort and slowly walked back to Beichen Palace by herself.

At night, it snowed again.

From a distance, the palace is full of silver and white.

Liyang rested for a while, her face softened slightly, and Ah Luo brought her a bowl of blood swallows, wanting her to eat something.

Before he had eaten a few bites, the palace maid came in and said: "Niangniang, the emperor is here!" ”

The palace maid was panicked, and her face was pale.

Ah Luo twisted his eyebrows: "It's coming, it's coming, you need to be so flustered?" ”

"It's not...... The emperor also brought a lot of Praetorian Guards in......" The palace maid's voice trembled, and she looked at Liyang in horror.

Even if Emperor Qiwu walked in the palace, he would bring many Praetorian Guards.

You can go back and forth to Beichen Palace, the Praetorian Guards will only stop outside the gate of Beichen Palace, and they won't even step into the courtyard, what's going on today?

Ah Luo's heart chuckled, and he was really expected by his master.

Liyang put down the blood swallow, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of the hall, Emperor Qiwu had already strode in, his face was gloomy and cold, and there was a trace of anger.

Without waiting for Liyang to salute, Emperor Qiwu had already raised his hand and hit her in the face!

With a loud sound, Liyang's white and tender face directly became red and swollen.

Liyang was stunned, and then immediately knelt down, and her voice was choked: "I don't know what mistake the concubine made to make the emperor so angry......

The palace people in the hall also knelt down, trembling.

Emperor Qiwu glared at Liyang: "I love you so much, you actually betrayed me!?" ”

Liyang raised her face, her eyes flashing with tears: "The concubine has been wronged, the concubine has never done anything to be sorry for the emperor!" ”

Emperor Qiwu snorted and said, "There is an object in the imperial study, I will check it every day, but as soon as you come today, the object is gone, did the concubine take it?" ”

Suddenly lost the flame bead, how could Emperor Qiwu not panic.

After thinking about it, after he was happy with Liyang today, he fell asleep, so he suspected that he was in Liyang.

Emperor Qiwu was very fond of the Assassin of the year, and he hid the Flame Bead very well, firstly, because he did not want the Assassin to find it, and secondly, he planned to lure the Assassin into the bait to prevent future troubles.

Without the Flame Orb, it means that the assassin is still alive, and he may come back to take his life at any time! is dying, how can he be obsessed with the beauty of Liyang.

After hearing this, Liyang's tears continued: "After the concubine served the emperor today, she didn't take anything away, please let the emperor see it." ”

Emperor Qiwu stared at her and wanted to kick her, but she was as beautiful as a flower, and her crying appearance was even more pitiful. Search inside and out! ”

When the Janissaries heard the order, they immediately dispersed to search.

Beichen Palace is not small, but there are also a lot of Praetorian Guards, the beds and cabinets have been turned over carefully, and even the beams have to be checked up, during the search for more than an hour, Liyang still knelt stiffly on the cold ground.

She seemed to be very aggrieved, she still cried non-stop, her long eyelashes kept shaking, her body seemed to be a weak willow supporting the wind, Emperor Qiwu wrung her brows, and finally said: "Get up and sit!" ”

Liyang refused to get up and said, "The emperor suspects the concubines, and the concubines should kneel before they have cleared their grievances." ”

At this time, the Praetorian Guards finished searching, and Zhao Changde came in to report: "Your Majesty, I didn't find it." ”

Emperor Qiwu frowned: "Can you dig three feet into the ground?" ”

"I've already dug three feet into the ground." Zhao Changde said, glancing at Liyang, "Your Majesty, I feel that the thief stole the treasure and should have changed hands to others, the thief would not be so stupid, and he left the treasure by his side and was searched." ”

Emperor Qiwu bowed slightly, but it made some sense.

But now he can't find it, there is no evidence, it's not good for him to arrest Liyang and torture him to extract a confession, right? After all, she is the princess of Li Kingdom.

He turned to stare at Liyang, without a trace of the past in his eyes: "Liyang, I have loved you for a long time, but you have stolen the treasure of Daqi, even if you are the princess of Li Kingdom, you will inevitably be guilty of capital crimes." But if you hand it over, I will still treat you well, and I will not be angry with the Li Kingdom. ”

Liyang laughed secretly in her heart, the emperor was ruthless, how could she believe his words.

Her face was still sad, and she said: "Probably because the concubine is from the Li Kingdom, so the emperor will suspect the concubine." If this is the case, the concubine will prove her innocence with death! ”
