After another seven or eight days, seeing that the Halloween Festival is approaching, the more this time, the more we can't relax.

These days, Shao Ziqing doesn't often come to visit Jiang Zuiyao, she knows that he must be busy.

Regarding other arrangements, Jiang Zuiyao didn't know anything, and she never asked, as long as she did her own task well, the rest had nothing to do with her.

As soon as noon passed today, the ginseng soup that remained unchanged as usual went to the imperial study as usual.

Seeing that the emperor drank the ginseng soup, Jiang Zuiyao was about to leave, but the emperor spoke: "It will be the Birthday Festival in a few days, and you will also go to join in the fun." ”

Jiang Zuiyao naturally did not object, and nodded: "Since it is Your Majesty's birthday, the concubine should go to join in the fun." ”

The emperor saw that Jiang Zuiyao was not in a hurry to leave today, and hurriedly came and said with interest: "I have asked the Internal Affairs Office to prepare a new set of clothes and new jewelry for you, and let you dress up to attend at that time, and let the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty see how blessed you look." ”

Where does Jiang Zuiyao care about this, but the emperor is different, in fact, some people suspected that the royal family has no heirs for many years, because the emperor is not good, but who dares to say it, but it will more or less reach the emperor's ears, and now that Jiang Zuiyao is pregnant, it is to break this rumor, of course the emperor wants to make a big splash and bet on everyone's leisurely mouth.

At this moment, a man wearing a dark green shirt and a sword at his belt walked in with neat steps.

This inevitably attracted Jiang Zuiyao's attention, this person could freely enter and leave the imperial study without being transmitted, and he could actually carry weapons in front of the emperor, he must not be an ordinary person. So Jiang Zuiyao was not in a hurry to leave, and sat steadily to see what the situation was.

The man walked up to His Majesty and said, "Your Majesty, the portrait has been found." ”

When the emperor saw this man, he immediately became serious, stretched out his hand and said, "Take it to me." ”

The man took out a neatly folded stack of rice paper from his sleeve, and the emperor took it and opened it to look at it, and asked, "This is the son of a rich merchant who defected to Rongguo to the Dangguo?" ”

！！

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Zuiyao trembled in shock, but fortunately, the emperor was staring at the portrait intently and did not notice her abnormality.

Jiang Zuiyao subconsciously swallowed and foamed uneasily, although she knew who the emperor was talking about, the whole person looked nervously at the portrait in the emperor's hand.

Fear, worry, uneasiness, nervousness, complex emotions were mixed together, Jiang Zuiyao's face was already a little pale, but she still had to pretend that nothing happened, but the fingers under her wide sleeves had begun to rub uneasily.

The person on the drawing paper is Shao Ziqing, if the emperor finds out, everything will be over!!

The man said at this time: "This is Rongguo's wanted portrait, there should be no mistake." ”

In this way, Jiang Zuiyao was even more uneasy, and she had even begun to plan a way back, how to save herself when the emperor found out that her brother was exactly the same as the man in the portrait.

After careful consideration, the emperor said: "This person has a mole on his face, but it is easy to recognize, pass on this portrait, but if he finds the whereabouts of this person, take it down at all costs and keep it alive." ”

In this way, Jiang Zuiyao was stunned. Have a mole on your face? Where is the mole on Shao Ziqing's face?

In this way, Jiang Zuiyao boldly asked: "What kind of person is it that makes His Majesty pay so much attention?" ”

The emperor said lightly: "Don't ask more about the court." ”

The harem concubines were not allowed to interfere in politics, and Jiang Zuiyao naturally didn't want to ask much, but she still got up and walked to the emperor's side, and asked curiously: "I want to see." ”

This is also a rare time for Jiang Zuiyao to take the initiative to talk to the emperor for more than ten days, and the emperor, who wanted to ease relations with Jiang Zuiyao, handed her the portrait and said, "Just look at it, don't touch it." ”

Jiang Zuiyao didn't stretch out his hand, looked at the person on the portrait, and his heart trembled slightly.

The one drawn on the rice paper is not Shao Ziqing at all, it can be said that Jiang Zuiyao has never seen someone.

！！

What's going on? Didn't you say that this portrait was a wanted portrait of Rongguo? How could there be anything wrong?

Jiang Zuiyao pretended to be indifferent and said: "I thought he was such a delicate person, but it was nothing unusual about his mediocre appearance." ”

The emperor smiled and folded the drawing paper, handed it to the man who reported the news, and said, "This is not a selection of Langjun, it doesn't matter what he looks like." ”

Jiang Zuiyao hid the doubts that she couldn't figure out in her heart, and there didn't seem anything unusual on the surface, but she had already twisted into a knot in her heart.

The man took the portrait and said, "Your Majesty, my subordinates have also found out one thing. ”

The emperor said, "Say it." ”

But the man didn't speak, but looked at Jiang Zuiyao very mindfully.

Jiang Zuiyao was uneasy again, could it have something to do with her?

But in order not to arouse the emperor's suspicion, he said: "The concubine will not disturb Your Majesty's handling of state affairs, and the concubine will retire." ”

The emperor immediately grabbed Jiang Zuiyao's hand and said, "Why do you want to leave again?" ”

Of course, Jiang Zuiyao wanted to stay, but if she did this, she would definitely arouse the suspicion of Emperor Qingguo, and she wanted to let Emperor Qingguo hold her hand, so that the emperor thought that she was unwilling to leave, but thinking about it, it was not okay to do this, after all, she had been indifferent to the emperor these days, if she did this now, wouldn't there be three hundred taels of silver here?

So Jiang Zuiyao hurriedly withdrew her hand, her mind turned quickly, and she said: "The concubine has something to ask for, but don't worry, Your Majesty is busy, the concubine will come back tomorrow." ”

As soon as the emperor heard this, he immediately became interested, where was he willing to let go of the opportunity to ease relations with Jiang Zuiyao, and said busily: "Since there is something, why wait until tomorrow." ”

Jiang Zuiyao looked at the man in front of him and looked very hesitant.

The emperor also saw Jiang Zuiyao's thoughts, and said, "Let's talk about something directly." ”

The man said tentatively: "It's about the cause of death of Concubine Mu's parents." ”

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Zuiyao's whole face changed, she really guessed correctly, it really had something to do with herself, her so-called parents were just fake parents arranged by Shao Ziqing to coax the royal family, could something go wrong?

The emperor saw that Jiang Zuiyao's face had changed so much, thinking that Jiang Zuiyao was frightened, after all, the news of the death of her parents had been concealed by the emperor, so he hurriedly said to the man: "This matter will be talked about in the future, you can step down." ”

Jiang Zuiyao came to her senses and hurriedly shouted at the top of her voice, "Wait! What did you say? Ben Concubine's parents died? ”

The emperor deliberately avoided saying: "Don't listen to his nonsense, this matter has not been clarified, and I will tell you when it is clear." ”

Jiang Zuiyao could give up easily, and refused to give up and said, "No! Since it is about the concubine's parents, how can the concubine wait? The concubine must hear clearly today, and if His Majesty refuses, the concubine will not be able to kneel for a long time. ”
