Chapter 177: The Queen's Younger Brother
He took a few steps closer to the night, eager to block Shen Yuntian's mouth.
"What kind of voluntariness is voluntariness in your mouth? Did those girls come voluntarily, or did their parents voluntarily want to be so poor that they couldn't open the pot, and they could only watch people starve to death except to send the girls? If it is voluntary without a second option, it cannot be called voluntary at all. She sneered, "What you think, you can argue with the warden slowly." β
Anyway, the prison officer also beheaded him voluntarily, so what's wrong? The only thing that made Xiang Yeqian a little "regretful" was that Gu Yanchao didn't really interfere in the affairs of the academy except for leaving some important information here, so far, at most, Gu Yanchao can be charged with improper employment.
However, before Xiang Yeqi was sentimental for too long, Nan Shu ran towards her step by step and shouted, "Chivalrous girl-woo woo." β
Xiang Yeqi suddenly felt goosebumps on the ground, not to mention that Nan Shu continued to praise her lightly and heavily: "Thank you heroine for saving my life!" If it weren't for you, I really don't know how long I'd be staying in this place, and now that I think about it, I really didn't know how to raise it at the time, and I blamed you for aiding and abusing, but I didn't expect that - you are the real hero! Righteousness! It! Scholar! β
God knows how much Xiang Yeqi wants Nan Shu to keep her mouth shut, she held back her tears and smiled bitterly: "Miss Nan Shu exalted me too much, really, exalted me too much." You'd better go home with your parents first, and we'll see you again in the future. β
Nan Shu squeezed out a few tears in a moment, and staged a "life and death parting" with Xiang Yeqi, and after she left, Xiang Yeqi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If only he and Nan Shu were present, Xiang Yeqi wouldn't mind playing role-playing games with Nan Shu for a while, after all, it wouldn't be a difficult thing to make this kind of little girl who was a little unsmart happy. But Nanshu said these things in front of Bo Zhaoxu, which made Xiang Ye's scalp tingle......
It's like a person who has passed middle age, under the gaze of everyone, reading aloud the "bold words" written when he was a child, or some extremely hypocritical sour words.
She's also very face-saving, okay!
Thinking of this, Xiang Yeqi threw himself into Bo Zhaoxu's arms again: "You didn't hear anything. β
Bo Zhaoxu left some people in Luzhou to deal with the aftermath of the affairs of the Shang Zheng Academy, and he took Xiang Yeqian back to Beijing first, which is enough to prove that the cause of Bo Chengkan's death has another mystery, and the evidence has been handed back quickly, at least this time, Xiang Yeqi no longer has to hide from the wanted warrants everywhere.
She took the first step to visit the queen in the palace, only to see that there was still a trace of blood on the ground in front of her, which inevitably made people speculate about what the queen had experienced in the palace a few days ago.
"The fourth princess is waiting here first, the queen mother still has some things to settle down, and I will come to see you later." Aunt Fang smiled and found a place to sit for Xiang Yeqi, the queen mother's affairs were not found on her body, not only was she not punished, but she was even promoted to the head of the queen with the queen's light.
Not long after, Xiang Yeqi saw a handsome man walking out of the inner hall of the queen's palace, and she immediately gasped......
Did you bump into something you shouldn't see? After all, the inner hall is the place where the queen rests, and it is said that a healthy man, even if the eunuch accidentally breaks in, he has to add a scar the size of a bowl!
Xiang Yeqi hurriedly covered his eyes and pretended not to see anything, but the man stopped directly in front of her, and was even a little surprised.
"I didn't see anything, and even if I didβI wouldn't say it!"
She couldn't help but look at the man's appearance through the afterglow of her fingers, she could indeed be called handsome, but if she wanted to judge Ye Yan's selfishness, she was still more than three points inferior to Bo Zhaoxu.
"Will you take a closer look?"
The man's teasing tone made Xiang Yeqi chuckle in his heart, he didn't want to make sure that he had seen his appearance clearly, and then decided whether to kill his mouth, right?
"Just see."
Xiang Yeqi glanced at him to be bold for herself, and she pondered how to say that she should put on a posture that was not afraid of him, so that people would know that she was not easy to mess with!
But after taking a closer look, Xiang Yeqi found that the man in front of him looked similar to the queen, could it be that he had broken something?
"I seem to get it!"
Xiang Yeqi suddenly realized, "You are the younger brother in the mouth of the queen's mother?" I have been looking up for a long time, and the queen mother has mentioned you to me, but she has not mentioned that you look like her. β
The man was stunned for a moment, then hugged his chest and laughed.
"The fourth princess's eyesight is not as good as Aunt Fang's, it seems that the appearance of this palace is very convincing."
After listening to such a sentence again, Xiang Yeqi suddenly realized that the person in front of him may not be a man, because the tone of his speech is clearly a woman. It's just that she's found so sluggish, and it doesn't help.
"Why is the queen dressed like this? I've never heard you like this before, but it's pretty good. Xiang Yeqi looked at the queen's outfit seriously and praised it from the bottom of his heart.
"This is how this palace dressed before getting married."
The queen wore a men's power suit, and her gestures were a lot lighter, and now she is cross-legged generously, so sassy.
"Well, don't mention that. I involved you in the business of the academy earlier, and I also wanted you to steal those evidence, and safety is important. Who would have thought that His Royal Highness would protect you so tightly that you almost razed the mountain! The queen teased, "But that's fine, there is such a big movement, even if he wants to stay out of the matter, he has to spare some energy to deal with the aftermath." β
"Accident, accident."
Xiang Yeqi also planned a plan to secretly infiltrate the Shangzheng Academy, sneak out of it, and send the evidence back to the capital after a series of terrifying experiences.
I knew that Bo Zhaoxu had this ability, but she didn't care!
"Before leaving Beijing, I heard that there were assassins in the queen's palace, I don't know how the queen's injuries are, have they been injured?"
"Sensei set the words of the main palace." The queen saw at a glance that Xiang Yeqi was not so honest, and said angrily: "You haven't heard any rumors along the way?" It's not like your style. β
"Isn't it too late, but if you have time...... she won't choose to go into the palace to ask the queen.
The degree of information in the Shangzheng Academy is very exaggerated, and even many masters have never left for more than 20 years, and when asked what is new about them, they are mostly silent for a while, and perhaps they can answer: "The new emperor has ascended the throne." β
The new emperor in their mouths is about to abdicate.
"It's really hard for you."
The queen got up and poured her a cup of tea, "In the past few days in Beijing, except for that incident, there has really been no big movement, but if you are a few days late, Your Majesty is afraid that he will appoint him Gu Yanchao as the regent, and the plan of the palace will not be delayed for a moment." β
"What?" Xiang Yeqi was a little confused.
"It is rumored in Beijing that His Majesty has been haunted by ghosts."
The queen snorted indifferently, and even she herself thought that this statement was very ridiculous, and it was worth making a mockery here.
"Your Majesty has not been to the court for three days, and the adults of the previous dynasty have grievances, but they dare not speak, so they have to enter the palace to beg Your Majesty to go to the court as soon as possible, but they bumped into Your Majesty drinking alone and seeking pleasure, but said that there was a rumor concubine beside him, but many adults came - no one saw the shadow of the rumored concubine."
She sighed a few times in surprise, if it was someone else, Xiang Yeqi might still be able to feel a little emotional, but the queen said this...... I'm afraid I'm reminding myself.
"This matterβit can't be arranged by the queen's mother, right?"
It is also a bit one-sided to say that it was done by the queen alone, "Those ministers should also be arranged by the queen." β
Whether the truth of this matter is that the old emperor is really haunted by resentment, or the old emperor is too much and hallucinates, it will make those courtiers disappointed in the old emperor, even if the old emperor makes any decisions that seem to be very reasonable, they will be considered by the courtiers to be "the old emperor's stupid words".
And in the whole world, except for the queen, Xiang Yeqi can't think of anyone who will use such a method, after all, in addition to the queen, there may not be a second person in the world who can find a woman similar to the concubine and make up such a play.
"Yes, it's what this palace did."
The queen admitted her "masterpiece" very frankly, and talked very affectionately with Xiang Yeqi, holding her wrists for a while, and teasing the hair and cheeks of Ye Yan for a while, as if this was his original appearance, and the queen who only knew what "general" and "etiquette" was, was just an illusion she used to protect herself.
Aunt Fang coughed twice outside the hall, but it didn't attract the attention of the two, she had to take a look at Bo Zhaoxu's cold face, which I don't know if it should be explained or notβthis sour smell is about to overflow through the bead curtain.
Aunt Fang coughed cautiously twice, and opened the bead curtain with her hand: "Queen Mother, Your Royal Highness has come to see you." β
Knowing that Bo Zhaoxu was only separated from herself, the queen had no intention of restraining herself, so she only had some thoughts: "Let the Fourth Highness come in, and the matter at hand has been taken care of?" β
"It's probably handled properly, I really envy the queen's mother, and she can still look so calm."
Bo Zhaoxu was not polite at all when he ate the vinegar of the queen's elder, such a subtle smell of gunpowder was by no means the first time that Xiang Yeqi smelled it between the two.
"After all, this palace is just a trivial matter, and it doesn't hurt the spirit, but His Royal Highness is here at this time...... Tomorrow's events should have been arranged. β
The queen asked, and Bo Zhaoxu nodded.
What will happen tomorrow, Xiang Yeqi still has some eyebrows, but how it will be, it depends on tonight.
β¦β¦
Listening to what the queen said, the emperor has been drinking alone in the palace for three days, all day long, nothing more than to paint a few pieces of flowers and birds without bones, into the night, just hug the woman who resembles the concubine to drink and have fun, the two talked all night, drunk to sleep directly, open their eyes and continue to repeat such days.
