Text Chapter 289 Life Experience
"But the emperor, if the minister marries the princess, it must wait until two years later, the minister is afraid of delaying the princess's youth, and the minister can't bear this responsibility, please ask the emperor, think twice." Xiao He has already understood that today's marriage is given by the emperor, and according to the current preparations, two years is enough for revenge.
"Since the royal sister's heart belongs to you, even if you have to wait for two years, the imperial sister will definitely wait." Mu Churan had a smile on his face, but his tone was very resolute.
"That minister, it is better to be respectful than to obey his orders."
"Hahahahahaha, then it seems that Xiao He is really the brother-in-law of this king." King An's hearty laughter resounded throughout the side hall, and in everyone's hearts, they had their own plans.
A "family banquet", each with their own thoughts, what they ate at this meal made Xiao He feel that these royal nobles were not eating rice, not the delicacies of the mountains and seas on the table, how could they feel that it was her who ate?
In the main hall of the Queen Mother.
"Let you check that Xiao He, how is the investigation?" There was inexplicable emotion written in Leng Qingxing's eyes, she was very dissatisfied with Xiao He's performance last night, and she actually came up with this method to delay the marriage, knowing that this was the most taboo for the royal family. It was possible to punish him on the spot, and he dared to say it.
"Empress Dowager Qi, about Lord Xiao He Xiao, the minister, has tried his best, the minister can't find any news about him before this year, he seems to be an extra person out of thin air, he has no past, no old friends, and even his housekeeper, he only entered the house after he was admitted to the top prize." The guard in front of him bowed his head in fear, after all, he was not capable enough, because in this world, there could not be a person out of thin air.
"Rubbish!" The guard didn't dodge, and Shengsheng took the teacup full of hot tea, and the hot tea was sprinkled on the guard's body, and the heat was thick. "You say, will there be a person who came out of thin air?"
"No...... No way. But...... Minister, I really can't find any clues, please ask the queen mother to confess, and the minister is willing to accept the punishment. ”
In just such a cup of tea, Leng Qingchen had already restrained his emotions, "Is it useful to punish you?" You don't have to check anymore, you go and follow Xiao He, follow him! If there's anything, tell me again. Leng Qingchen poured a new cup of tea, waved his hand, and asked the guard to retreat.
Leng Qingchen has been in this deep palace for many years, and he can naturally see his thoughts from Mu Churan's eyes, his son, the current emperor of the Yin Kingdom, even if he can smile at everyone, he can perfectly hide his emotions.
She can still see his purpose, since Qingwan likes Xiao He, and he appreciates Xiao He's ability, he must thoroughly understand his details, thinking that his emperor's son has privately sent someone to check him, but he has not gained anything, so he wants to use the name of marriage to contain Xiao He first. As long as Xiao He accepts his marriage, it is equivalent to telling the world that Xiao He is on his side as the king of a country.
"You say, why does a person appear in this world without warning?" Mu Churan smiled bitterly and complained to the little eunuch beside him.
The leaves outside are rustling, and the wind outside shouldn't be so strong, right? It seems that everyone can't hold back their curiosity, and they don't know who sent the person hiding in the trees outside?
Did the queen mother and the emperor come up to investigate themselves, or did other ministers in the court see that they had become a concubine and took refuge with the emperor, so they wanted to come to inquire about the news?
Xiao He couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning on his bed, turning over and over like stir-frying. No, time can't wait. At most, it's only two years.
Xiao He turned over and got up from the bed, took out all black clothes from the closet, took a hat, and ran out of the tunnel.
The underground casinos at night are crazy, with all sorts of frenzied gamblers losing red-eyed. Losing all his family, abandoning his wife and children, and constantly gambling, until he has nothing, he is thrown out by the people in the casino.
Casinos really can see the ugliest side of human nature.
The shareholder behind this underground casino is Xiao He. The underground casino helped her get a lot of gold and silver, and most importantly, this underground casino provided Xiao He with all the capital to pull the emperor off.
"Young Master," Xiao He didn't care about pomp, but important places must be heavily guarded, he crossed one level after another and walked into the innermost small black room. Sitting inside is her most trusted person, her father's regent's subordinate - Tie Xin, since the death of his parents, Xiao He doesn't trust anyone, but the person in front of him used a short knife to deeply engrave the words of revenge for the regent on his arm, the knife is to the bone, even if it has been many years, she seems to still be able to see the bloody scene of the year.
He is the only person in the world who knows that she is a woman, because of the words on his arm, he has no way to appear outside, he can only stand around the houses of various officials in the court and the central government in the dead of night, collecting their various ugly things, that is, even some honest old officials have done some ugly things that they don't want to be known about, this is Xiao He's capital.
Almost everyone has a handle in Xiao He's hands, except for ...... An Wang ......
"Do you know who has been spying on me in my house lately?" Xiao He lifted the curtain of the hat. Said to Iron Heart.
"Young master, don't worry, it was the old woman in the palace who sent me to investigate you, and I was still investigating your details a few days ago, but I don't seem to have gained much." The corners of Tiexin's mouth raised a faint smile, pure and beautiful.
Xiao He looked at Tie Xin's heart and suddenly became very comfortable, this is the most beautiful smile.
"That's because these stupid people would never have thought that I was a woman, and I had been checking from the men's side, and I didn't even find the daughter of the regent who disappeared five years ago!" Xiao He couldn't help but feel a little proud, he had been wearing men's clothes for so many years, and he almost forgot that he was a woman.
"Young master, you still have to be careful, not only the Queen Mother and the Emperor, but King An seems to be investigating you in private, but King An's guards are really too vigilant, and they can't get too close to him without him noticing, I'm sorry......" Tie Xin's eyes instantly dimmed.
He knew in his heart that if he couldn't grasp all the movements of all the people who were hostile to Xiao He, he wouldn't be able to guarantee his own young lady, no, it was the safety of the young master, as the prince's personal guard, he was raised by the prince since he was a child, and he had already neglected his duty and failed to protect the prince, and he couldn't let the prince's orphan suffer any more damage.
"It's okay, King An here, I'll pay careful attention to him, if you can, you can sort it out now, we'll be the first to start." King An, a king with a different surname, as the emperor's cousin, did not feel that he had special help for Mu Churan.
In addition to the emperor, King An is another person who makes her unclear, unknown, and dangerous.
"Young Master, please be careful, Iron Heart will definitely protect you." I will protect you even if I risk my life. Tie Xin's eyes are clear, he doesn't have too much scheming, in Xiao He's opinion, he is the most trustworthy person.
"By the way, young master, Yan Hao, the secretary of the ministry, for the emperor's promotion of you, I argued with Mu Churan to no avail, and I resigned and returned to my hometown." "Oh?" Xiao He raised his eyebrows with interest, "Is it because of my promotion......" Yan Hao is one of the trusted ministers left by the first emperor to Mu Churan.
Mu Churan was willing to give up an old minister of the two dynasties in order to bring disaster to the east and let the attention of the government and the opposition focus on me, so as to contain me.
"Heh, it seems that it's a good thing that the source is unknown," Xiao He secretly clenched his fists, the source is unknown, could it be that she wants to come from an unknown source?
"Mu Churan is willing to use his official position and marriage to contain a person who doesn't know the details, then let him be, and when I can really pull him off the throne, I will let him know my true details!" Xiao He obviously couldn't stay in the casino for too long.
"I'll go first, you go to the street to buy some clothes or something these days, take money directly from the casino in front, and in a few days, you can go directly to my house to be my guard." What is to be done in this place, almost, has also been done.
Xiao He returned to his bedroom from the tunnel, changed his clothes, and looked out from the window paper in the faint moonlight, the guards around the Queen Mother should be hiding in the trees, after all, other forces are still focusing on investigating their own details, only the Queen Mother has sent someone to follow her to her yard.
Yan Hao resigned, and the trusted secretary has not yet been appointed, and the appointment letter has been issued by the servant of the ministry. It is said that early tomorrow morning, Xiao He will go to the Ministry of Rites to report, become the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the future of Princess Qingjuan will be attached.
"Alas~" I don't know what to do in the future.
"Lord Xiao!" The Ministry of Rites is worthy of being one of the six departments, the scale is different, just one day after taking office, I saw the real slap of officialdom, looking at the boxes on the table in front of him, Xiao He couldn't help but hold his forehead.
"Someone!" Xiao He had a headache when he looked at these things, since he couldn't help but accept them, he could only accept them and send them back.
"The little ones are here."
"You register these gifts and send them back door to door, if you can't finish them today, you won't come back!"
The little guy was obviously taken aback by the newly appointed Lord Shangshu, the new official took office with three fires, and this first fire burned on himself, the little guy didn't dare to slack off, holding all the gifts on the table, and quickly rushed out of the door.
In Mu Churan's study, the guards were making a serious report.
"That is to say, Master Pony actually registered all the gifts he received and sent them back." Mu Churan's expression was not shocked, and he didn't seem surprised by this matter.
"Yes, Master Pony has already sent all the gifts back."
