Chapter 36: The Monarch and the Minister

He Mian'er's father, He Qi, entered the palace overnight, thinking it was a sin of great disrespect. It's just that for the sake of this only daughter, he can't care about anything.

Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the gate of the palace, I found that the palace gate was wide open, and the huge palace was brightly lit. When the little eunuch at the door saw He Qi, he immediately ran over in small steps and said to him: "Lord He, you are really well-informed, Your Majesty is worried that no one will discuss." ”

He Qi was very flustered in his heart, and followed the little eunuch into the palace without knowing anything, only to see that the emperor was like him, sleepless late at night, and was so anxious that he paced back and forth in the palace.

"Your Majesty!" He Qi did not delay at all, and fell directly to the ground as soon as he saw the emperor. He knew that it was a bit ridiculous to ask the city patrol envoy to send someone to investigate overnight for the sake of his daughter.

He has always been impartial and law-abiding, and has never trespassed in the slightest because of personal matters.

It's just that he has already thought about it on the way to the palace. If you can save your daughter, what if you give up this old face.

"He Aiqing, why are you like this?" When the emperor saw He Qi like this, he was really a little surprised.

After all, this person is in the high position of the imperial doctor, and he has always been used to opposing himself in the court, which is rare.

"I only hope that Your Majesty can quickly transfer the envoy to patrol the city, so that it can work." He Qi knelt on the ground and looked at the emperor with a pleading expression.

This time it was the emperor's turn to be surprised, this He Qi can be said to be hand-eyed. He had just learned about the disappearance of the fourth prince.

This front foot has just sent someone out to investigate, and the back foot He Qi has already begged to come to the palace.

The emperor suddenly narrowed his eyes, he knew that the prime minister was a relative of the prince, and he unconditionally supported the prince.

The captain in charge of military affairs was quite close to the three emperors. However, he didn't know that the Four Emperors seemed to be obsessed with academics and only read sage books, and they could actually win over He Qi, who had always been neutral, to escort him.

All of a sudden, countless thoughts passed through the emperor's heart, and even murderous intentions.

"Aiqing invited, the widow has entrusted someone to invite Guo Baokun, the envoy of the city patrol, and the palace has also sent a lot of people to search." The Emperor said quietly.

This time it was He Qi's turn to be surprised, "Your Majesty, the little girl can be so valued by His Majesty, it is really a blessing that she cultivated in her previous life." ”

Before He Qi's words of praise were finished, the emperor realized that something was wrong, "You didn't come here for the disappearance of the fourth prince?" ”

He Qi's eyes widened, and he lost his voice: "The fourth prince is also missing?" ”

The two of them stared at each other with wide eyes, and then realized that something was wrong. After some conversation, the two realized that two people were missing in the Puhui Nunnery.

One is He Qi's only daughter, He Mian'er, and the other is the fourth son of the current emperor - Chen Jingzhi.

Since the emperor of the Great Xiao Kingdom came to the throne, his heirs have been thin, and he can only get two princesses and three princes. The two princes were frail and sickly, and died at a young age. A few years ago, the emperor found another son from the people and entered the temple.

The fourth prince does not hold an official position, has no title and no mansion, and his biological mother does not know where he came from, and he does not often enter the palace.

Everyone in the court guessed that this person must not be loved by the emperor, so he did not have the heart to cling to life, and this fourth prince was a bit mysterious of seeing the head and not seeing the end.

The emperor listened to He Qi's explanation, looked at his expression carefully, and was indeed at a loss, and seemed to have no idea about the disappearance of the fourth prince.

Only then did he put his mind at ease, his face softened slightly, and he asked, "Didn't your daughter be married to the general's mansion by a widow, why did she appear in the nunnery in the north of the city?" ”

The emperor really didn't know all these things. After all, the state affairs are busy, and the foreign country has to sign an agreement with the northern Tartars, and everyone in the palace is jealous, so that the emperor will not have a headache, and a certain family in Beijing will take a concubine, and naturally no one will pass it into his ears.

The emperor's question made He Qi embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

After all, although his daughter loved Xu Yunqing in her heart, Xu Yunqing already had a marriage contract at that time, so he never took it to heart.

I just want to make a fuss with my daughter, and it will stop after a while.

Unexpectedly, I don't know which one killed a thousand knives, but he actually told the emperor Lao'er that what kind of Shuangshu entered the mansion, and he had excellent luck with the emperor.

caused the emperor Lao'er to make an order, directly marrying his daughter into the general's mansion as a concubine, and pushing her into the fire pit.

In the past few years, whenever He Qi thinks of this, his heart is full of resentment, and he has no good face for the emperor Lao'er.

It's just that no matter how much he thinks about it in his heart, he doesn't dare to show it in the slightest on his face.

Leaned down at the moment, lowered his head and sighed: "This is also the evil fate of the previous life, the little girl is stubborn, I am afraid that I will not accept the discipline of the general's mansion, so I went down to the hall, but I failed to live up to the good intentions of the saint." ”

This time it was the emperor's turn to be surprised, that Xu Yunqing had just sent the rebel son of King Chen away on the front foot, and he actually had the leisure to go to the concubine room on the back foot.

And as far as he knows, in the past few years, the dilapidated general's mansion has only been supported by He Qi's daughter, how could he leave people as soon as he came back?

At the moment, he snorted coldly and said: "This Xu Yunqing seems to be really confused, he doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, he can't distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and he has no brute strength, I'm afraid that it is the official from the fourth grade, he can't bear it." ”

That being said, Xu Yunqing's will soon be reinstated, after all, when he signed an agreement with the northern Tartars, he had to be present with this brute force martial artist.

He Qi never thought that the emperor Lao'er, who had always been unpleasant, would coincide with him in this matter.

He has long had a grudge against Xu Yunqing, thinking that what this person did was inferior to a beast, and he was extremely indignant at the moment.

The direct talk was about the thirst in his mouth, and the waiting little eunuch brought in a pot of tea, and it only stopped, but he was still unsatisfied.

The envoy who patrolled the city lived quite far away, and the two of them scolded Xu Yunqing bitterly, but they remembered what was going on.

"Your Majesty, who did it this time when the four princes and the little girl were robbed by the strongman?" He Qi was extremely uneasy in his heart, after all, such a thing happened at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and now he has not seen the extortion letter from the robbers, which is really a little unpredictable.

The emperor squinted, pondered for a moment and said, "Since you captured Jing'er, you are coming at the widow." ”

He Qi immediately continued: "Under this whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." What kind of person is it, who eats the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dares to embarrass the saint? ”

He Qi's words made the emperor fall into deep thought. Yes, now that the world is peaceful, who would dare to openly kidnap the royal family?

"Isn't it, the anti-thief Chen Wang Yu's sin?" He Qi patted his head, thought about it, and exclaimed.
