"The minions have seen it...... I've seen the mother. Probably to cover up the embarrassment of not being able to call out the other party's title, Manager Zhao hurriedly got up and smiled apologetically, "The slave is trying to tidy up the yard and pick a beautiful fragrant 'flower' to send to Niangniang, I don't want to have good luck and meet Niangniang again." What, is Niangniang going to find the emperor? ”

Princess Changyun, who suddenly appeared, still smiled elegantly: "The emperor said that he was going to be busy with business, what should I do with him?" I just came to ask Mr. Zhao about something. ”

"Even if the mother asks, the slave must answer truthfully."

Princess Changyun nodded with satisfaction, and the curvature of the corners of her 'lips' narrowed slightly: "I heard that the emperor sent someone to arrest King Qinglian back, is this news true or false?" ”

Manager Zhao walked around, nodded and lowered his voice: "The news is true, it is true." The emperor was asking a few adults in the imperial study at this time, and King Qinglian was next to him—oh, by the way, there was also the prince of Dingyuan, who found out King Qinglian. ”

"What about the emperor's attitude towards King Qinglian?"

Hearing Princess Changyun ask like this, Chief Manager Zhao looked abrupt and chuckled twice: "Niangniang, don't worry, the emperor is not the first emperor, and he doesn't have the slightest thought about King Qinglian. After the mother left today, the emperor was very reluctant, you didn't see it, the emperor saw your back and saw that his eyes were about to fall out, and the slave had never seen the emperor look at other concubines like this, and the emperor could be described as love at first sight! I want to come to Niangniang in the future, I will be able to rise step by step, and there is great hope that he will lead the six palaces and ascend to the throne one day. ”

"Thank you first for Mr. Zhao's auspicious words." Princess Changyun didn't seem to have much interest in Manager Zhao's flattery, so she responded lightly, and left alone as in the morning, leaving Manager Zhao standing in the courtyard and sighing with emotion.

Red faces are not necessarily disasters, what is really terrible is these smart 'women' who do not have the 'color' of Tianzi Kingdom but can capture the heart of the emperor.

Today she is Princess Changyun and a third-class concubine, what about tomorrow? What about next year? Manager Zhao believed in his eyesight, and couldn't help but bend down to speed up his movements, carefully selecting the most beautiful 'flowers' and plants in the courtyard, and his expression was a hundred times more serious than serving Emperor Wen Jingyuan.

As a lowly minion, it is more important than anything else to choose a good master who has the ability.

In the evening of the same day, Emperor Yuan planned to work together to reduce the official positions of nine important ministers, including the general Pan Wei and the crown prince Qiao Hanzhong, and detained them in the prison overnight, and raided their homes for investigation.

In the quiet imperial study, there were only Wen Jingyuan, Wen Moqing and Yan Liwu left, and they 'rubbed' the bridge of their noses in a sleepy way, Wen Jingyuan didn't seem to be willing to pay attention to Yan Liwu, and looked at Wen Moqing with tired eyes: "I know that it will not be wrong to entrust it to you, in terms of ability, the princes of the first emperor are not as good as you, and it is a pity to let you be a prince with no name." ”

"Utilitarianism is tired, and the status is oppressive, compared to the intrigue of the previous dynasty, I would rather be a son with no name." Wen Moqing responded lightly, with a respectful attitude but no respect.

"Let's go, I don't force you, I know that you are not here, and it is useless to persuade you." Wen Jingyuan waved his hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally looked directly at Yan Liwu, "Her identity has not been determined yet?" ”

Wen Moqing shook his head.

"Things are a little strange, and I haven't been able to find anything or anyone who can prove her identity. Although Jun Bai insisted that she was the stand-in for the Qinglian King, she was betrayed by her own weak eyes, and she herself insisted that she had nothing to do with the Qinglian King, and it seemed that there was no sign of lying, and even I was helpless. ”

Wen Jingyuan stared at Yan Liwu for a long time, and just when Yan Liwu thought that he was about to be convicted, Wen Jingyuan suddenly spoke: "The identity of King Qinglian before he entered my Great Abyss, do you know the son?" ”

Wen Jingyuan's question surprised Yan Liwei, she thought that after entering the palace, she would directly face Emperor Yuan to ask for guilt, who knew that the first thing to stage was the farce of the nine ministers, and then Wen Jingyuan threw out such an irrelevant question, so that she couldn't figure out what kind of 'medicine' was sold in the gourd of the newly ruled emperor.

When you don't understand, the best response is to just listen and not speak.

Yan Liwu raised her head slightly to look at Wen Moqing, and happened to meet Wen Moqing's eyes, and she couldn't tell if his eyes represented anything, in short, she clearly saw Wen Moqing shaking her head lightly, as if signaling her not to talk 'messy'.

"I have traced it with Bi Sheng before, but I don't know much, and the origin of King Qinglian can only be traced back to the year she entered the palace, and it seems that the first emperor met her when he went to Anzhou to observe the people's feelings."

"That's right, I still remember that year because of the locust plague in Anzhou, the first emperor took Prime Minister Zuo to Anzhou together, but when he came back, there was an extra 'woman' in the carriage, who was the later King Qinglian." Wen Jingyuan nodded, and continued with Wen Moqing's words, "I also asked the people who traveled with me that time, but they all said that they didn't know how the First Emperor and the Blue Lotus King met, only that there were more people in the team overnight, and they were favored by the First Emperor, and the First Emperor had already fallen into an almost obsession at that time. ”

"In this way, the background of the Qinglian King is also a mystery?"

Wen Moqing and Wen Jingyuan chatted lively, and the mood next to them became more and more relaxed - Wen Jingyuan made it clear that he didn't think she was the Qinglian King, otherwise he wouldn't have said so much in front of her, and listening to his tone, he seemed to be very curious about the identity and life of the Qinglian King, and he had the posture to track it down, in other words, Wen Jingyuan's possibility of ordering her to kill her was not high.

It's just that why Emperor Yuan, who has just ascended the throne, wants to know about King Qinglian's past so much? Didn't Wen Moqing say that her role to Emperor Yuan was to stabilize the people's hearts with death?

Looking at Wen Moqing again, there was a vague trace of complex 'color' in those deep eyes.

Wen Jingyuan only cared about speaking, and did not notice the subtle changes in his words and sorrows, but his face became more and more solemn: "Moqing, you are the most optimistic one among the younger generations, I have a special task, are you willing to complete it for me?" ”

"Naturally, I will not give up on the things that are within my account, and I am afraid that I am too young to take on the heavy responsibilities of other things." Wen Moqing was 'groaning' for a while, and did not directly agree.

"If I can't bear it, who else can I go to?" Wen Jingyuan buckled down a high hat, and without waiting for Wen Moqing to speak again, a token was thrown on the bookcase, "This is the pass token of the seventeen counties of Kyushu, take it, no matter where you go, you will be there in person, even if it is a serious minister, you must not disobey." ”

Wen Moqing took the token silently, tucked it into his waist, and raised his sword-like eyebrows slightly: "It seems that I have to take this task." ”

"It's related to the world's society, you have to take it, and you have to take it if you don't." Wen Jingyuan first hardened and then softened, and after giving the order with a cold face, he 'revealed' a smile and patted Wen Moqing on the shoulder closely, "I really can't find other credible people, thinking that you are a chivalrous warrior for the country and the people, I have to find you as a last resort." ”

"What is the significance of the emperor's so-called relationship with the world? As soon as King Qinglian dies, the world will naturally be stable, isn't it? ”

It should be said that the scapegoat is a sure thing to die, right? Yan Liwu glanced at Wen Moqing without saying a word, and his body was uncomfortable for a while. She is very disgusted with Wen Moqing and Wen Jingyuan's way of going around and around in circles, but she can't open the 'door' to see the mountain and have something to say directly. It was torture to listen to so much nonsense when she was weak and cold.

A reluctant cough interrupted the conversation between Wen Moqing and Wen Jingyuan, and the two looked back at Yan Li, and their 'fine' but pale faces made Wen Jingyuan a little puzzled: "What's the matter?" ”

"Poisoning. In order to prevent anyone from escaping in Qinglian Palace that day, I poisoned the water source in advance, and then she was abducted when she was in exile, and I was like this when I found her. Wen Moqing replied extremely fluently, without any stuckness, and almost took it seriously when she heard her words.

She was indeed robbed by Yan Tiedart, but where did the poisoning come from? And the poison she had in the Qinglian Palace before had already been resolved, even if she hadn't cleaned it up, it wouldn't have been possible to attack it too late, right? Yan Liwu really couldn't figure out how Wen Moqing didn't blush and heart didn't beat when he lied, and just wanted to stop coughing to embarrass him, but in a flash of inspiration, he thought of a certain question-

Was her sudden weakness really due to fatigue?

Suspicious eyes looked at Wen Moqing, but there was no response as expected, Wen Moqing turned around to avoid Yan Li's worrying gaze, and didn't even give her the opportunity to see the clues through her eyes. This performance made Yan Liwu more sure that his inexplicable weakness and fainting were not accidental, and the bad things Wen Moqing did to her were probably not just as simple as causing her to hit her forehead.

Wen Jingyuan naturally didn't know the twists and turns, and seeing that Yan Li was coughing badly, he couldn't help but take a deep breath: "I have to find a doctor to show her, I don't want her to die so soon." ”

"No need, I've found a way to suppress the poisonous 'nature', but I need to take the 'medicine' three times a day, and I can't miss it once, and the 'medicine' has been prepared and received."

"So you're going to take her away?" Wen Jingyuan narrowed his eyes, a few slender wrinkles at the end of his eyes were squeezed together, and stared at Wen Moqing for a long time, "Moqing, I hope you can understand what you should do and what you shouldn't do, rare talents, I don't want to lose them in vain." ”

"The emperor is too worried."

Wen Jingyuan has a full imperial posture, but Wen Moqing can't find a trace of the taste of heavy ministers and good people. Not to mention awe, if it seems that according to his words, he is unwilling to give charity to Emperor Yuan even with the least respect, maybe he is one of the very few people who dare to fool the king of a country.

"If the emperor has nothing else to order, shouldn't he talk about what I want to do?" seemed unwilling to stay in the palace longer, Wen Moqing urged Wen Jingyuan bluntly.

Wen Jingyuan glanced at Yan Liwu, nodded, and took out a letter from under a large stack of bookcases and pushed it in front of Wen Moqing: "This is presented by the owner of a pawnshop in Anzhou, which describes what he saw and heard one night more than six years ago. One of the things I want you to do is follow this clue to find out who the Qinglian King is and why she approached the Emperor. ”

"The emperor thinks that King Qinglian is close to the first emperor because he has a plan?" Wen Moqing unfolded the letter and read it hastily, a flash of luster flashed in his eyes, "Please forgive the emperor for talking too much, I want to know, what is the reason why the emperor insisted on letting me investigate after the Qinglian King 'disappeared'?" ”

Wen Jingyuan was silent for a long time, took a deep breath, and at the same time as the low voice sounded, he slammed his fist on the bookcase.

"The 'woman'...... King Qinglian took the 'jade' seal of the heirloom country, and now he is missing. ”
