Chapter 292: Afternoon
After comforting Luo Twelve, Qi Yan looked at the little eunuch and said, "My father-in-law is tired of leading the way." ”
"Please." The little eunuch greeted Qi Yan very politely and led her to the emperor's study.
The emperor sat behind the imperial case, condescending, looking at Qi Yan who walked in.
Qi Yan stood below, deliberately making himself look a little at a loss, but the father-in-law on the side reminded Qi Yan: "Don't you salute when you see the emperor?" ”
"Oh, oh......" Qi Yan saluted awkwardly.
That salute was wrong, and it was not the salute that should be performed when the palace met the saint in person.
Even the little eunuch couldn't stand it: "Young lady of the Xie family, is your gift wrong......
"Alright." The emperor raised his hand, and the little eunuch quickly shut up.
"Get up." The emperor said, raising his hand towards Qi Yan.
Qi Yan stood up and looked at the Son of Heaven behind the imperial case.
He has not changed much from his previous life, although this Son of Heaven was brave and decisive in his youth, and he was in charge of the world, but the years are not forgiving, and the current Son of Heaven, even if he has this splendid palace, wrapped in that noble dragon robe, and the majestic imperial case in front of him, he can't resist his rapid aging. On closer inspection, all that seemed to be his crumpled skin was wrapped in his clothes.
"Qi Yan?" The name of the emperor's Qi Yan.
"It's me." Qi Yan replied.
The little eunuch on the side held back the action of holding his forehead, he really wanted to remind Qi Yan that the grass people without officials and lords could not look directly at the Son of Heaven with such a big stabbing when they saw the Son of Heaven.
The emperor didn't care about Qi Yan's "rudeness", and said, "You are Xie Fuyi's wife?" ”
Qi Yan nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"I heard that you are very affectionate?"
Qi Yan remained silent and replied vaguely: "It's just an ordinary husband and wife......"
"I also heard that Fu Yi is for you, you can do anything."
Qi Yan said directly: "Who did you listen to?" ”
"Bold!" The little eunuch on the side said, "The emperor asked you!" How do you ......"
"Shut up." The elderly emperor glanced at the little eunuch, "Are I talking to her, or are you talking to her?" ”
The little eunuch's face was pale with fright, and he didn't dare to say a word more.
The emperor turned to Qi Yan: "I came to you, but it's actually nothing......
Qi Yan rolled countless eyes in his heart, nothing is strange, nothing to dry people in the side hall, one time to dry for two hours?!
"Your Majesty, if it's okay...... Can I go? ”
The emperor looked at Qi Yan and was slightly stunned, then laughed and said, "Don't leave now, after a while, Fu Yi will come over, and when the time comes, let him take you out of the palace together." ”
"That's a good ......" Qi Yan nodded, looked at the dragon chair, and bowed his head again to correct the emperor.
"Your Majesty......," Qi Yan whispered, "Is it just standing here and waiting?" ”
Since he wanted to pretend to be ignorant and ignorant, Qi Yan simply pretended to be the end.
The emperor smiled, waved his hand at the eunuch behind him, and said, "You take Fu Yi's wife to the snow garden in the imperial garden to take a stroll and relax." ”
"Yes!"
…………
When the little eunuch led Qi Yan out of the imperial study, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, he had been serving by the emperor's side for some days, and he had never seen a person like Qi Yan, when he faced the saint, he was really ignorant and fearless.
Qi Yan looked at the appearance of the little father-in-law, smiled against his lips, and said, "Where is the imperial garden?" ”
"Didn't I take you there?"
"It's boring to be alone." Qi Yan said, "Can I bring the person who came with me?" ”
The little eunuch said, "The emperor didn't say let her go." ”
"But the emperor didn't say he wouldn't let him go?" Qi Yan spread his hands and said, "The emperor has a lot of opportunities, maybe he forgot to say it, then why don't you go and ask the emperor?" ”
The little eunuch's expression didn't bother to ask at all.
Qi Yan struck while the iron was hot: "It's just a visit to the Imperial Garden, anyway, my father-in-law has to follow all the way, one more person and one less person, it's nothing." ”
"But ......"
"Father-in-law, it's just me, I'm really bored." Qi Yan said, "Why don't I ask the emperor?" ”
"The emperor is criticizing the excerpts, you'd better not disturb."
"Then let Lao Gonggong be accommodating." Qi Yan said with a smile.
The little father-in-law thought of the emperor's attitude towards Qi Yan before, although this person was very rude, but the emperor didn't seem to care at all.
For those who can be lenient by the emperor, the little father-in-law will naturally not take the initiative to offend.
"Okay." The little father-in-law pushed the boat down the river and sold favors directly to Qi Yan.
"Thank you, father-in-law." Qi Yan smiled and stuffed a silver ticket for the little father-in-law.
In the palace, almost no one doesn't like silver tickets, and the little father-in-law accepted Qi Yan's silver tickets, and he was also a lot more courteous to people.
…………
The imperial garden of the imperial palace is incomparable to the Xie family, especially in winter, the snow garden of the imperial garden is unique.
Qi Yan and Luo Twelve are in the snow garden, full of unique beauty, and they are not in the mood to appreciate it.
The two glanced at each other, Qi Yan pointed to a pavilion not far away, and asked the little eunuch who followed closely behind, "What kind of building is that?" Quite chic. ”
"That's Tingxue Pavilion."
"Let's go in and rest." Qi Yan said.
The little eunuch nodded and led the two inside.
"Why is it so cold?" Qi Yan walked into Tingxue Pavilion, rubbed his hands, and sighed in his mouth.
"There aren't many people here on weekdays, so there's no fire."
"Is there a charcoal fire?" Qi Yan asked.
The little eunuch replied, "Yes." ”
"Then let's make a brazier." Qi Yan said, "Let's roast the fire and rest our feet." ”
"But ......"
"It's hard work for my father-in-law." Qi Yan said, took out a silver ticket from his cuff, and dotted the little eunuch.
After receiving the silver ticket, the little eunuch stuffed it into his cuffs, and went down to make a fire.
Just listening to the Snow Pavilion, only Qi Yan and Luo Twelve were left, and just when Qi Yan was about to speak, Luo Twelve shook his head at her, indicating that he had ears on his face.
Qi Yan took a deep breath and glanced out the window, it was empty, and he couldn't tell where the ears were hiding...... Mrs. Xie pressed her eyebrows and thought of another way.
"The emperor called me over......" Qi Yan said, and the person sat down in front of Luo Twelve.
Luo Twelve blinked, only to see Qi Yan pull her palm and write on it when she spoke.
"The emperor said that Fu Yi will also come, and when the time comes, let Fu Yi leave with us." Qi Yan wrote a "danger" in Luo Twelve's palm, and looked at Luo Twelve's eyes with questioning eyes.
"You say...... When will Fu Yi come back? ”
"How do I know?" Luo Twelve replied, and also pulled Qi Yan's palm, first pointed to Qi Yan's heart, and then wrote the word "chips" on her palm.
Qi Yan understood in his heart, what Luo Twelve meant was that the emperor was now using her as a bargaining chip to threaten Xie Fu Yi.
"I don't know how Fu Yi is now......" Qi Yan spoke, sighed softly, and wrote in Luo Twelve's palm, "Location"
Where is Xie Fuyi now?
Luo Twelve said: "You don't know, I don't know......"
As he spoke, he wrote the words "Prince's Mansion" on Qi Yan's palm.
Xie Fuyi is in the Prince's Mansion, so he is with Xiao He?
Qi Yan quickly analyzed the situation in front of him, and for a while he still couldn't figure out what Xie Fu Yi was going to do, he said that tonight, things would be settled, but he didn't specifically say what he was going to do......
Qi Yan just guessed...... Guessed, he might have to ......
"Squeak...... someone pushed the door in, and Qi Yan and Luo Twelve sat down with each other.
"Father-in-law, it's really ......" Qi Yan turned around, thinking that it was the little eunuch who came in, but to Qi Yan's surprise, the person who came turned out to be a person dressed as a guard, but the person covered his face with a high scarf and couldn't see his appearance clearly.
"Young lady of the Xie family, come with me."
Qi Yan sat still and said, "Is it the emperor's will?" ”
The guard didn't answer, but suddenly stepped forward and said, "Come with me, you'll know......"
As he spoke, he was going to take Qi Yan away.
At this time, Luo Twelve suddenly stood up, and a sword was pressed against the guard's neck, she shot too fast, Qi Yan beside her didn't see what was going on, and even the guard was extremely surprised.
"Say!" Luo Twelve said, "Who sent you?" ”
The guard was surprised and looked at Luo XII: "You...... You...... Who is it! ”
"Now I'm asking you!" Luo Twelve spoke, and the knife in his hand took a step.
"You'd better let it go now." The guard said, "I'm doing it for your own good............
"For our good, we are going to kidnap when we come up?!" Luo XII interrupted the guard's words and said coldly, "Say! Who is the master behind you! ”
The guard was held hostage by Luo Twelve, unable to move, the dagger in Luo Twelve's hand was against his neck, as long as he made a slight movement, she would not hesitate to cut his neck.
Qi Yan stood aside, his breathing was a little short of breath because of the tension around him, but he was also calm.
"Squeak......" Just then, the door was pushed open.
"Dangchang!" The little eunuch holding the brazier was frightened by the situation in front of him, and the brazier in his hand fell off his hand.
"Oops! Oops! Then came the screams of the little eunuch being burned.
"Father-in-law!" Qi Yan hurriedly rushed over, held the little eunuch and said, "That person wants to hold me hostage, you call the guards quickly!" ”
"This ...... This ......," said the little eunuch, "what is this?" Xiao Yang's guard, what's going on? ”
Xiao Yang's guard......
Qi Yan frowned, and couldn't help but look at the person who was held by Luo Twelve, the scarf of the Xiao Yang guard had already been torn off by Luo Twelve, and Qi Yan suddenly felt that the other party seemed to be a little familiar...... However, for a while, I couldn't remember it again.
"What's going on?" Just when Qi Yan was puzzled, a voice came from behind him.
Qi Yan looked back, only to see Liu Yi coming over, knowing that this person was Xie Fuyi's enemy, Qi Yan was on guard, but his face was not obvious.
"Young Lady Xie." Liu Yi looked at Qi Yan and said, "The emperor summoned you." ”
After passing on the emperor's words, Liu Yi frowned and glanced at Luo Twelve and Yang guards in the room.
Yang Guard said with a smile: "I competed with this girl in kung fu, but I didn't expect that I was not as good as her......"
As he spoke, Chong Luo Twelve glanced at him: "You still don't let go." ”
Luo Twelve hesitated for a moment and let the man go.
Yang Guards changed their previous appearance, and said enthusiastically to Qi Yan: "Young lady of the Xie family, the emperor has summoned you, you should go quickly." ”
Qi Yan hesitated.
Yang Guard said again: "Just by the way, I'll show you the way?" ”
Qi Yan was confused, he didn't know which song he was singing, and the little eunuch beside him, his expression was exactly the same as Qi Yan's.
Luo Twelve seemed to know a little more than Qi Yan, and said to Qi Yan: "The emperor has summoned, go quickly." ”
"Oh, good, good ......" Qi Yan nodded, let that Yang guard lead the way, and walked out of the imperial garden.
Luo Twelve walked next to Qi Yan, Qi Yan was confused, much like asking Luo Twelve what happened, how could she let her shake hands with the Yang guard of unknown origin and make peace?
Although he was puzzled, Qi Yan also knew in his heart that this was not the time to ask questions.
She remembered what Luo Twelve told her before entering the palace: "Let it be"
"Huh......" Qi Yan exhaled a turbid breath, temporarily put aside his messy thoughts, made himself look natural, and walked into the emperor's imperial study.
At this time, in the imperial study, there was a person standing, who had a straight back, his chin tilted, and looked at the emperor who was high above.
Qi Yan just walked in, saw the other party's back, and was stunned for a moment.
It turned out to be Xie Yiyi...... Why Xie Yiyi?! Didn't she leave the capital with Luo Zai? Why is it here now?!
Qi Yan suppressed the turbulent waves in his heart and stepped forward.
"Do you know her?" The emperor pointed at Qi Yan and asked Xie Yiyi, who had a calm face.
Xie Yiyi looked at Qi Yan, his gaze did not fluctuate, and said, "Yes." ”
"Oh?" The emperor smiled and said, "How did you meet?" ”
"Open a bookstore." Xie Yiyi looked at the emperor with a very cold attitude.
The emperor didn't pay attention to it, the whole person seemed to be still interested, and said: "So, you also know Fu Yi?" ”
"Xie Fuyi?" Xie Yiyi said, "I've heard of it, but I don't know it." ”
The emperor was noncommittal, and suddenly looked at Qi Yan: "You come." ”
"Me?" Qi Yan pointed to his nose, "What did you say?" ”
"Do you know Xie Fuyi?" The emperor smiled and said, "Or ...... Are Fu Yi familiar with Xiao He? ”
Qi Yan was shocked, but there was no big change on her face, she said, "Is the emperor asking about the Xie family's business?" I don't know ...... very well."
"Xiao He." The emperor said, "Don't tell me, you don't know Xiao He. ”
Qi Yan stiffened the emperor's gaze, just the right amount of doubt: "Xiao He? Last name: Xiao ...... Is it a relative of the emperor? ”
The emperor squinted, a pair of eyes, staring at Qi Yan: "He is my eldest grandson." ”
"Oh...... It turned out to be His Royal Highness the eldest grandson. Qi Yan's tone was flat, and he didn't have any special reaction, if he had any reaction, he might be a little puzzled: "Your Majesty, I don't know, what are you asking me ......for?"
She scratched her hair and said, "I'm not very smart, Your Majesty...... If you have anything to say, you can tell me directly, is it okay? ”
