Chapter 169: A Painting Crisis

Today, on the first day of the first lunar month, the royal family should go to the temple in the palace to pray for blessings and incense, at least for half a day, there is no master here, it is really convenient for her to move around. That's the day, take a good look at the palace.

Kang Yufei just opened up with Qin Fu, saying that the emperor allowed her to walk around the palace at will, and Qin Fu agreed with a smile. It seems that there are still some substantial benefits to being looked down upon by the emperor. Kang Yufei simply had the cheekiness to ask for Qin Fu's token, and he easily got it.

So, she didn't stop and went straight to the Internal Affairs Office.

She knocked on the side for a while, making people mistakenly think that she had come to the Internal Affairs Office to rummage through things on the emperor's orders, and it would be much easier to get things done.

The officials of the Internal Affairs Office cooperated with her, and sent someone to lead her, and opened the doors of the warehouses one by one for her to take a closer look.

Her purpose really can't be too obvious, and she will look at every storeroom at will. Fortunately, although things are messy in this warehouse, the classification is quite clear, and a cursory look at it will clear that this magic weapon is basically stored in this penultimate room.

This warehouse is quite large, and when you look outside, you can see all kinds of boxes and cabinets of different sizes inside, which is very time-consuming to look at one by one. You'll have to find a good time to rummage through it again.

Kang Yufei took a closer look at this room, there were two windows in the room, but they were both locked, and it seemed that it would not work to enter from here. The roof is very high, and it is easy to come down from above, but it is more difficult to go up. If only there was a convenient way.

"There are so many things, I guess you have a lot of trouble sorting them out, there should be a roster or something, right?" Kang Yufei asked with a smile on his face.

The little eunuch who led her way was very vigilant, and her face was shocked, "Does my sister want to see this?" That needs to be reported to Gonggong Yin. ”

"Oh, no, no, just ask, I'm just here to take a turn, I think things haven't fallen on you, don't bother, I'll go back." Kang Yufei turned a disapproving look, turned around and prepared to leave.

The little eunuch led the way in front, and as soon as he stepped down the steps, he felt Kang Yufei's body on one side and fell towards him, he hurriedly reached out to help, but he didn't expect Kang Yufei to be so crooked, the whole person pressed over, and put him on the ground together.

Just this seemingly simple fall, Kang Yufei took the opportunity to smooth the key that the little eunuch had just hung on his waist into his hand, and took advantage of getting up, slowly turned his back, and pressed a solid seal on the ink that had been prepared.

"Oops." She held her waist and barely stood up straight, "I'm really sorry, I'm sorry." I didn't pay attention to it, and I stumbled. ”

The little eunuch also got up and patted the dust, "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way." Sister, did you fall? ”

"It's okay, it's just that my feet are a little sore, just go back and rub some medicine." Kang Yufei kicked his legs, bared his teeth and pretended to be in pain, and then threw the key in his sleeve to the ground, "Your key fell to the ground." ”

The little eunuch nodded and thanked her, and quickly picked it up.

After getting the key, I have a chance to find it again.

It was still early, and it was rare to have such an opportunity, so Kang Yufei thought about where else he could find it. You can go to the residence of the masters, but the sword is unlikely to be rewarded to the harem concubines, and the princess, in addition to the four princes who are not very welcome to the emperor, there is also a young fifth prince Jingyi, he can take a look, Princess Jingrong, it is best to take this opportunity to go, in case the province encounters it, this identity is not easy to explain. The two of them were not heavily guarded, and they didn't even have to show their tokens, just find some way to probe around.

It's been three poles in the day since I ran these two places, but unfortunately I didn't find anything.

She also wanted to go to Concubine Mei's courtyard again, but her rumbling stomach didn't allow her to do so.

Back at the Qingshui Pavilion, she was a little tired, ate some things indiscriminately, and fell asleep on the table unconsciously. When she woke up, it was already Shen Shi, and she didn't have time to move her paralyzed arm, so she hurriedly ran out.

As soon as I passed the side gate and walked along the corridor to the courtyard gate, I heard the emperor's voice sound, "Where is Zhao Jie?" ”

Kang Yufei stopped, but before he could turn around, he saw the emperor's angry face. She didn't understand why it had become like this after a few hours, and she had been so tolerant of her in the morning.

"You, come here."

This voice did not allow Kang Yufei to delay his steps a little. She hurried to follow and followed up with the study.

As soon as the door closed, it seemed to isolate the whole world outside, and there was only the suffocating sense of oppression brought by the emperor's dragon robe.

Kang Yufei slowed down her steps and walked to the desk, about to kneel. The emperor shouted in an angry voice, "Don't kneel, I told you not to kneel, is it that you never listen to what I say." ”

Kang Yufei's frightened body trembled, and she could only stand still. I have never felt so quiet, as if I could not only hear my own heartbeat, but also the emperor's very urgent and fierce heartbeat.

"Why ......" The emperor's voice gradually sank, as if he was restraining his anger and breathing. After a while, the voice sounded again, no longer in the state it was in just now, but there was a sense of exhaustion, "That painting, you, why did you give it to her?" ”

Draw? Kang Yufei didn't expect this painting to be discovered so quickly, and he didn't expect the emperor to be angry about it.

"That painting, the emperor previously allowed the slaves and maids to exchange for things."

The emperor snorted coldly, "Then how much silver did you exchange?" ”

"Changed, priceless."

"I forgot that you are used to quibbles, so you will think of a good explanation when you give it out."

Kang Yufei didn't expect the emperor to speak like this, and he didn't know whether to continue for a while.

"Tell me, what's your priceless treasure?"

Kang Yufei bit her lip and could only continue, "It's Concubine He's protection of the slave maid." Concubine He is in charge of the harem, if she can cherish and love the slaves, the slaves and maids will be much easier in the palace in the future. ”

The emperor laughed, but this laughter sounded particularly harsh, "You said that you think Concubine He can protect you, but I can't?" ”

Fortunately, these questions, when Kang Yufei thought of this set of words, she had already guessed in her heart, and she had already prepared the answer slightly, "The emperor is benevolent, and naturally loves the palace people in the palace, but the emperor has all kinds of opportunities, and he has the political affairs of the former dynasty to take care of, and some things and people in the harem need Concubine He's help, if the slave can be cherished by the emperor and Concubine He, then the days must be stable and comfortable." ”

"That's a nice thing to say." The emperor's fingers tapped lightly on the desk, making a dull sound, Kang Yufei couldn't guess the emperor's thoughts at the moment, and there was no way to deal with it, so he could only wait.

"What else do you want to say? Those who slap sycophants and scold me are all said together. ”

Kang Yufei was a little frightened, and lowered her head, "The slave doesn't dare." ”

"Don't dare? What are you not afraid of? You dare to fool others with what I gave you under my nose, do you think I will never find out? ”

Hearing this, Kang Yufei was very sure that the emperor was angry, but he felt that it was just a painting, and he also promised that he could exchange it for silver, so was he so angry? It's inevitable that there are some chicken intestines in a small belly. No wonder his father and brothers think he's a bad guy to get along with, and that's right.

"Look up and look at me." The emperor's voice gradually became louder, and his anger could not be contained.
