Chapter 331: Imprisoned
I thought that I could spend these few days in the palace peacefully, but unexpectedly, when Shen Ruogu accompanied the envoys to meet Shi Yao, something went wrong.
And it was because of this audience that her plans were completely disrupted.
"Envoys have been traveling for a long time, can you be satisfied with my hospitality?" Shi Yao leaned back on the dragon chair and glanced casually at the several envoys under him.
She has never taken this group of people to heart, and the words she blurted out were naturally perfunctory.
If it weren't for the firearm diagram in Qin Lingxiao's hand, why would she go to such great lengths to deal with the group of idiots in front of her.
She is patient, giving Qin Lingxiao room to choose, and the best solution is to force him to compromise and firmly grasp the initiative in her own hands.
As the king of a country, of course, she will not be led by a man, even if the two have interests to exchange, she does not want to be the most disadvantageous party.
"Thank you Empress for your hospitality, but then again, you must know the purpose of coming this time, you must know ...... in your heart" The envoy led by him glanced at Shi Yao cautiously with his spare eyes.
He knew very well that Shi Yao was an unpredictable person, and he had to be cautious in everything he said and did, so as not to be caught by the other party, which would be unfavorable to Qin Lingxiao when the time came.
"Tai Chi is not suitable for me, let's open the skylight and spread it out one by one." Shi Yao's straightforward words immediately made the other envoys look embarrassed.
They originally wanted to lobby Shi Yao, but in this way, there seemed to be nothing good to say.
In the final analysis, if you want to win people's hearts, you have to make some sincerity.
Shen Ruogu lowered her head from beginning to end, standing aside, trying not to let others notice her existence.
Originally, she was disguised and mixed into the palace, and if she was accidentally discovered, it was very likely that her head would move. Especially the woman who was sitting on top of the temple before her eyes.
Her hands, hidden under the wide sleeves of her coat, clenched into fists, for fear that something might be exposed.
However, things didn't go as smoothly as expected.
thought that she was silent throughout the whole process, and she should not attract Shi Yao's attention. Unexpectedly, she just saluted according to etiquette, and was arrested.
"I didn't expect that in this huge palace, all kinds of idle people would mix in, and I didn't take the royal laws and regulations into account at all!" Shi Yao snorted coldly, and her sharp eyes looked directly at Shen Ruogu, as if she wanted to see through her psychology.
Shen Ruogu's heart trembled, he never thought that he would be like this, and he was directly grabbed by Shi Yao by the pigtail.
Along the way, she has repeatedly perished through her disguise, surviving safely under the noses of those people.
But now, her true identity was directly exposed by Shi Yao in front of everyone, which means that her plan has fallen short.
Shen Ruogu originally wanted to pretend to be stupid, but at this juncture, it seemed that this method did not play any role.
In the face of everyone's whispering, she took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down and deal with it calmly.
"You...... Not our people! The envoy led by him was taken aback, and Shen Ruogu was fishing in the muddy water along the way, and he didn't even notice it. What's even more terrifying is that this woman in front of her actually deceived all of them and stood in this hall with them with confidence.
"Now that I've been discovered, I have nothing to hide." Shen Ruogu raised his head slowly, and his clear eyes met Shi Yao's intriguing smile.
Shi Yao brushed his sleeves with one hand, got up suddenly, and every time he took a step, he was invisibly putting pressure on Shen Ruogu.
"Did he borrow a hundred of your guts to let you stand in front of me in broad daylight?!"
Shi Yao was reluctant to mention Qin Lingjue's name, so he could only replace him.
Everyone present tacitly understood it, and all kinds of eyes fell on Shen Ruogu's body.
"It's nothing more than the palace here, I can come in at will." Shen Ruogu was not afraid of Shi Yao's pressure at all.
Since she was able to stand in this place, she was ready to confront Shi Yao.
"Good!" Shi Yao raised her hand and applauded, looking at her with contempt in her eyes: "You are so self-conscious, it will definitely make you suffer!" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand and motioned to the guards standing outside the door.
"Take her down and lock her up. None of you can release her without my orders. ”
The two guards with solemn faces stood on each side, wanting to directly pick up Shen Ruogu and carry him away. Before she touched her clothes, she was deftly dodged by the other party.
"I have legs to walk on, you don't have to." Shen Ruogu glanced at Shi Yao, whose face was becoming more and more gloomy, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
She has never been afraid of Shi Yao, she can only say that she was unlucky, and she happened to be caught by Shi Yao.
Seeing that Shen Ruogu was taken away, the envoys looked at each other, all thinking about how to continue their topic once this little episode passed.
At the same time, outside the palace, Rong Xiao overheard the rumors circulating among the people. Only then did I learn that Shen Ruogu was imprisoned in a secret prison by Shi Yao.
He looked at the hot wontons in front of him, and his appetite suddenly disappeared.
This time, he was ordered to come to assist Shen Ruogu, but he didn't expect to learn the news that Shen Ruogu had been arrested before anyone could get in touch.
"If the emperor knew about this matter, he might come here in person." He couldn't help but feel anxious, so he immediately took out some broken silver from his bosom, threw it at the front desk and left.
Rong Xiao hurried to the gate of the palace alone, but when he saw the two guards guarding outside the palace, he suddenly woke up as if he had been doused with a basin of cold water.
With his ability alone, he couldn't sneak into the palace and rescue Shen Ruogu smoothly. Not to mention, this door has not yet stepped in, and it is very likely that it will fall into the same situation as her.
"No, I can't be so reckless. Otherwise it will be self-defeating. He turned around and hid behind a large tree beside him, so as to avoid the suspicion of the two men.
Rong Xiao held his chin in his right hand and thought about it, and decided to meet with the secret agents who had been lurking in the city in advance before making the next plans.
"Subordinates, see Lord Rong." The spy who received the news for the first time had a secret meeting with Rong Xiao in a mansion.
"I'm here on a secret mission, so you must help me complete it." Qin Lingxiao had a cold face and told him about Shen Ruogu.
"My subordinates have a dark line in the palace, and I do know a little about this matter. I heard that it was the empress who recognized Shen Ruogu first, and I don't know what method was used. The spies were also puzzled by this matter, but the matter had come to this, and their first task now was to rescue Shen Ruogu.
"It must be completed in a short time, otherwise the emperor will blame us, and we will all be unable to eat and walk around." Qin Lingxiao took a deep breath and suddenly felt that his pressure had doubled.
