"Your Majesty, Emperor. ......General Yao paused, Liu Liang gritted his teeth, knelt down, lowered his head and said, "General Yao said 'long live' to the king of northern Hebei." ”

"What?! Daring! The emperor was very angry when he heard the consequences, he grabbed the teacup in his hand and smashed it to the ground! The crisp sound of the cup smashing on the ground indicates how angry the person who threw the cup is.

"Brother Huang's anger is relieved!" The emperor was already annoyed and angry, Qi Mo hurriedly got up from the stool and knelt down to persuade. The emperor's anger is a big deal, and it is true to calm the emperor's anger first.

Gonggong Gui, who was guarding outside the house, heard the sound of broken cups coming from inside the house and the faint roar of the emperor, his eyes were closed, and he muttered in his mouth: "Ouch, I don't know what news His Royal Highness King Xian said, making the emperor angry like this, today's difference has to be carried by twelve points of heart." ”

"That's what he really said?!" As if he didn't want to believe that this was true, the emperor asked Liu Liang again.

"Back to the emperor, what the minister said is absolutely true. If there is half a lie, one day this cup will be shattered. Seeing that the emperor didn't want to believe it, Liu Liang swore to the emperor to prove that what he said was true.

"Yes, Brother Emperor. Later, Liu Liang wanted to look for more evidence in the palace, but unexpectedly, the people in the palace had a mess, and he was arrested by the king of Jibei, implicating Liu Liang who was looking for evidence in the study, but he was chased and killed by the people of the king of Jibei all the way, and he escaped with a breath of air, and came to Baishi County. ”

"The younger brother brought the person back to the academy, found someone to treat Liu Liang's injuries first, and when the injury was healed, he immediately came back to tell the imperial brother." Qi Mo knelt on the ground, explaining things sincerely and clearly.

The emperor was obviously angry, leaned back in his chair, and did not speak for a long time.

The emperor didn't speak, Qi Mo and Liu Liang naturally didn't dare to move, they kept kneeling, waiting for the emperor.

After a while, the emperor seemed to calm down his anger and said slowly: "I know, you have worked hard. I wrote it down. It's getting late tonight, I need to think about it, so you can go back first. Come back to the palace tomorrow. ”

"Yes. Brother Huang beware of the dragon body. ”

"The younger brother (minister) retired." Seeing that the emperor looked tired, Qi Mo and Liu Liang didn't say anything more, and retired and walked out of the imperial study.

"Brother Huang is in a bad mood this time, let the emperor be quiet by himself first, and then I will bother you to bring a cup of hot tea to Brother Huang." When Qi Mo came out, he knew that although the imperial brother inside had calmed down, he was actually still very angry in his heart.

Gonggong Gui stood at the door, also looking nervous, and when he saw him come out, he looked at him with concern. They are all on an errand with the emperor, and it is not easy to know that Gonggong Gui is not easy, so Qi Mo kindly reminded him.

As soon as Gonggong Gui heard this, the emperor's brain naturally turned fast with the person who was on an errand in front of him.

Such a point of instruction seems to be like a life-saving sentence.

Gonggong Gui hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, King Xian!" The slave only knew, and he would send it to the emperor after a while. King Xian has worked hard, so go back and rest early. ”

Everything that should be said was said, and Grandpa Gui also understood what he meant, so he didn't say anything more.

Qi Mo took Liu Liang back to the palace in the night. Leaving a black back within the palace walls.

After Qi Mo and Liu Liang went out, the emperor leaned on the stool and couldn't recover for a long time.

If it was anger at first, then there was some sadness in it.

Although he had guessed that the king of Jibei had the intention of rebellion, after all, the king of Jibei and himself, but the brothers of the same mother, guessed and guessed, and he was still very reluctant to believe that this matter was true.

If this matter is true, then the king of northern Hebei has violated the law of the country, is guilty of capital crimes, and is the mother's own son, and now he wants to turn his brothers against each other and kill each other, and his mother must be very sad when he knows it.

Besides, the Queen Mother is very old, and knowing such news is undoubtedly a heavy blow.

The emperor thought of Qi Mo again, and the difficulties in his heart were a little more and a little more gratified.

This eighth brother is not the biological son of the Queen Mother, he was born by the queen of the year, but he has no ambitions for the throne.

On the contrary, I have been idle since I was a child, and I only like to play in the mountains and rivers.

He leaned quietly on the chair, although he was his own brother, the emperor's authority was not to be challenged, and the throne was not to be coveted by others.

"Feng Degui!" The emperor already has a plan. Called to Gonggong Gui at the door.

It happened that Gonggong Gui pinched the time and made new tea for the emperor, and when he heard the emperor's call, he hurriedly went in with the tea.

Go in and put the tea on the emperor's table. Gonggong Gui stood aside respectfully: "Your Majesty, you are looking for a minion." ”

"Go and summon General Zhenyuan into the palace." He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and the emperor ordered him to go down.

"Huh. The minion will do it. Duke Gui took the order and retreated.

Qi Mo and Liu Liang also returned to the palace.

After not coming back for a long time, the housekeeper of the palace was so excited that he was even a little helpless when he saw Qi Mo coming back.

"The prince is back! Have you eaten? Why don't you go and take a bath first to wash away the fatigue on your body? ”

Concern is chaotic, because the housekeeper is a servant of Qi Mo's maternal grandfather's family, and Qi Mo was only about ten years old when the former queen died.

When he was released from the palace to live by himself, Qi Mo's maternal grandfather gave Chen Yu, that is, the housekeeper of the palace, to Qi Mo, and this was more than ten years.

Steward Chen looked at Qi Mo like his own child, and he did regard Qi Mo as his own child in his heart. The former queen went early, and it was not easy for Qi Mo to live alone in the cannibalistic place in the palace for so many years. He felt more sorry for this child than anyone else.

"Uncle Chen, you are really ......" Qi Mo saw Chen Yu's incoherent appearance, and his heart was slightly moved.

"Uncle Chen, don't worry, I'll go take a bath first, and then eat after I wash." After driving for so long, I had to wash my tiredness first, and as for eating, I was really a little hungry.

"You also go down and rest and eat something." Qi Mo was not a person who treated his subordinates harshly, so Liu Liang followed him all the way, and he first asked Liu Liang to go down to rest and eat by himself.

"Oh yes! The hot water house has always been prepared, just waiting for the prince to come back. I went to the kitchen and told them to prepare food for the prince! ”

Hearing Qi Mo say that he wanted to bathe first, Steward Chen hurriedly asked the maid to prepare the things for bathing.

He went to the kitchen to personally supervise Qi Mo's meals.

"Go down, all of you, and the king himself will come."

Although he is a noble royal child, Qi Mo is not used to being served when he is taking a bath.

Soaking in the bathtub, recalling what happened in the palace just now, what Qi Mo didn't say was that he suspected Song Lingyue.

First, if you tell the emperor about this, with the emperor's character, whether she is undercover or not, the possibility that Song Lingyue will survive in the end is not very high.

Second, he admitted that he was a little selfish, Qi Mo still didn't want to believe that Song Lingyue was an undercover agent of the king of northern Hebei, he had been with Song Lingyue for so long, her behavior really didn't look like an undercover agent, and she was stupid, where was there such a stupid undercover agent?

Qi Mo is attitude towards Song Lingyue has changed, and even he has not noticed it.

The blisters were almost warm, and Qi Mo finally finished washing.

After bathing comfortably, Qi Mo put on the clean clothes prepared by the maids, called someone to clean up, and strode to the main hall by himself.

When Qi Mo was about to finish washing, the food was put on one after another, because it was already a little late, and Steward Chen was worried that Qi Mo eating too much would not be conducive to digestion, so he didn't put on a big feast.

Instead, I made some light food, four or five light side dishes and meat, and a rich porridge, although it was not much, but it was very exquisite.

The chef of the palace was found by Qi Mo himself, unlike the chef of the palace, he cooked his own set of cooking, and the meal he made was very much in line with Qi Mo's wishes.

It's just that he didn't know why, he suddenly missed the food made by Song Lingyue.

"Lord, are you okay?" Steward Chen frowned when he saw him and asked cautiously.

"Uncle Chen, you have a heart. The food is very much in line with the king's heart, and it is hard! ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard, it's rare for you to come back. I've been looking forward to it, and I'm finally looking forward to bringing you back once. In Baishi County, you must not be able to eat and live well, alas, the prince is really hard. Speaking of which, Steward Chen felt a trace of sadness in his heart.

"It's not as sad as you think, I'm also doing things for the imperial brother in Baishi County, and the food and accommodation are fine. Don't worry too much. Knowing that Steward Chen cared about himself, Qi Mo comforted the old man.

After all, I have been with myself for more than ten years, and this is also a piece of the old man's heart.

Hearing Qi Mo say that he was fine, Steward Chen looked at Qi Mo except that he seemed to have lost some weight again, and his complexion was quite good.

The next day, Qi Mo was summoned to the imperial study again.

"Brother Huang, your face is tired, you must take care of your dragon body." Qi Mo said to the emperor with concern.

"I know. I had already summoned General Zhenyuan to discuss the matter last night. Call the two of you over today," the emperor looked at them and said word by word, "What I mean, you should go back to Jibei Prefecture, continue to keep an eye on the king of Jibei, keep a close eye on his every move, and contact me immediately if there is anything abnormal." ”

"Forgive my brother for saying too much, I don't know what the emperor and the general planned last night?" Qi Mo asked.

Qi Mo opened his mouth to ask, and the emperor changed his posture and said in a deep voice: "I called General Zhenyuan over yesterday. It is for this purpose. I thought about it, and I didn't want to confront the fourth brother so quickly. ”

"You also know that the second brother and I always came out of the belly of the same mother, and if the queen mother saw her sons killing each other, she would be uncomfortable."

"The ancients had clouds, and filial piety came first. What's more, the ancestors also ruled the country with filial piety, how could they disobey the ancestors when they came to me? Therefore, I am not willing to touch him as a last resort. ”

"It's just that since the king of northern Hebei is now worried about my position, the emperor's authority cannot be challenged. I have already discussed with General Zhenyuan, and from today onwards, my army will have to be drilled and drilled. ”

"However, in terms of training the army, in terms of expenses, I am ready to reduce the expenses in the palace and supplement the army."
