Chapter 86: The Struggle for the Throne (6)
In the main hall of the Summer Palace in Qiongyuan, Xiao Ji sat in front of the desk and dealt with official documents, and Manager Li came in from outside with a cup of imperial chrysanthemum tea oolong tea.
"Say, what's going on"? Xiao Ji's face was cold, and he rolled his eyes and glanced at Xiao Yandao standing under the table.
On the lower left side of the table, Xiao Yu and Xiao Chi stood side by side, and after a glance at Xiao Yan, he turned his head.
"Father, the son was drowning in a coma at the time, and he didn't know it", Xiao Yan said very calmly, as if this was really the case.
"Oh... Then why did Xuan'er and Can'er say that it was your people who hurt them"? Xiao Ji's eyes narrowed, looking at Xiao Yan, there was a penetrating deterrent.
"Erchen doesn't know why the Third Emperor Brother and the Fifth Emperor Brother think so", Xiao Yan still looked calm.
"Seriously"?
"Father, the sons dare not deceive", Xiao Yan's tone was calm, without the slightest nervousness.
"In this way, you go down first", Xiao Ji retracted his gaze, squinted at Xiao Yu and Xiao Chi on the side, and said, "You guys go down too."
"It's... Father", the three of them saluted together and respectfully retreated.
Seeing the three princes exiting the hall, Manager Li handed the tea to Xiao Ji and said, "Your Majesty, take a sip to moisten your lungs."
"Hmm...", Xiao Ji took it, took a sip and said, "Li Xiang, what do you think"?
"Your Majesty asks which one"?
Xiao Ji looked at Mr. Li: "What do you say?"
Manager Li smiled slightly: "Your Majesty is saying that in this matter, the words of these three princes are surprisingly similar, and they don't say a word about the people who hurt people, and they all shirk and say that they don't know, there must be something strange in this."
"Oh... What do you think is strange"?
"The minions are ignorant and can't think of it for a while, but...".
"But what"? Xiao Ji looked at Manager Li.
"The slave thinks that the Nine Emperors are not simple, and His Majesty can be so calm and calm when he asks so much, which shows that it is not ordinary."
Xiao Ji is noncommittal, for Xiao Yan, for some reason, he often feels that he can't figure him out, in front of himself, it seems to be a mirror, only seeing himself but not seeing the truth behind the mirror.
Seeing that Xiaoji was speechless, Manager Li knew that he had either guessed what Xiaoji was thinking, or it was just the opposite, but for the Nine Emperor Princes, he always felt that he was like a mystery, and he couldn't see it clearly and couldn't catch it.
As soon as Xiao Chi left the Summer Palace, he grabbed Xiao Yu and said, "Brother, brother Huang, I didn't expect you to hide from your father."
"Am I hiding? I'm just picking up the important ones"? Xiao Yu stopped and looked at Xiao Chi.
"It's... No, so... In fact, the royal brother has not changed at all, he is still the good royal brother with a cold face and a warm heart, integrity and kindness."
"I don't know what you say, I've always been me", a slight smile crossed the corner of Xiao Yu's mouth.
"This matter is over, you and I will not be involved again, and in the future, stay away from Xiao Yan and them", Xiao Yu walked a few steps and turned back to tell Xiao Chidao.
"Oh... Got it", Xiao Chi replied and followed closely.
Xiao Yu walked along, the expression of Xiao Yan just now appeared in his mind, too calm and too calm, facing Jun Wei, so calm, his heart must be very strong, besides, there is always a feeling that Xiao Yan is deliberately hiding himself, what is he hiding?
Xiao Yan left the Summer Palace, and went straight back to Lingcang Pavilion, he was indifferent, he didn't like to be served on weekdays, and no one would pay attention to him along the way.
Xiao Yan entered the Lingcang Pavilion, the maid and the eunuch immediately let go of the way and bowed their heads silently, and those who had a little contact knew that their Nine Emperor Princes were moody, and they had a picturesque handsome face, but they didn't smile, like a piece of cold ice, and no one should approach.
Xiao Yan didn't see Xiao Huang, and he was a little puzzled for a while, but he didn't have time to think about it at the moment, so he went back to his study, locked himself in the room, and thought about what to do next.
Muhua Palace Yuqiong Yuan, Concubine Zhong looked angry and unwilling, thin eyes and scarlet cheeks, red lips and bright teeth, jewelry, brocade clothes, and took the subordinates to breathe, and ordered someone to pick up Xiao Xuan from Shuhuan Pavilion.
A handmaid in orange clothes walked in, retreated left and right, and approached Concubine Zhong and said, "Niangniang, Your Majesty did not punish the Nine Emperor Princes."
"What? Sure enough, Your Majesty is still protecting those sluts' children", Concubine Zhong said through gritted teeth, her nails clutched red marks in her palms, and the fire of jealousy in her eyes became more and more intense.
"Niangniang, don't be angry, Your Majesty doesn't care, then we'll do it ourselves."
Concubine Zhong looked at the young but scheming maid in front of her, and sometimes she was a little defensive, but fortunately, she was still loyal to herself and became a celebrity in front of her, and some small things were up to her.
"What's your good idea"?
"Niangniang, it's better to...", Linglong whispered, her eyebrows fluttering.
"Well... Just do as you say, if you can, even An Rong's slut will be disposed of", Concubine Zhong had a sinister smile on her face, and agreed to Linglong's plan.
"Niangniang, don't worry, just wait for the good news of the slave maid", Linglong said and retreated.
On the other side, in the Youhan Pavilion of Muhua Palace, Concubine Li personally visited the seriously injured Xiao Can, and ordered the imperial doctor to treat him in person.
"Mother, can Can'er only lie down in the future and become a waste", Xiao Can's mood at this time was both hateful and sad, and he felt a little decadent.
"No, Can'er will definitely be cured, this is only temporary, Can'er, don't worry, it will be fine after a while", Concubine Li secretly ruthless while comforting Xiaocan, she must make Can'er become such a person to pay the price.
"Yes"?
"Of course, when did the concubine lie to you".
"Well, mother, all of this was harmed by their brothers, and I will definitely not let them go."
"It's them, but they look like they are submissive on weekdays, how dare they make trouble, it seems that life is too comfortable", Concubine Li was a little reluctant to believe it, but she still believed Xiao Can's words.
"Mother, you don't know, that guy Xiao Yan has a very hard temper, and he doesn't dare to do anything himself, but he has helpers, and besides, Xiao Yu and Xiao Chi actually stand by and watch."
"Hmm... Don't worry, the mother concubine will definitely help you out of this evil breath", Concubine Li clenched her hands tightly, and a hint of conspiracy flashed in her eyes.
The concubines of the palace, who were already fighting openly and secretly, made an edict from the edict, for the sake of the posterior, many people were already ready to move, and they were planning to form a gang, and now that the third prince and the fifth prince were injured, the secret actions began to intensify, and they were more unobstructed.
Xiao Yan pondered in the study for a long time, if he was just passively seeing the moves, now he is determined to start fighting back, considering that some people will never give up, I am afraid that the revenge has begun, and it is necessary to prepare in advance, the most worrying thing is the safety of Xiao Huang and the concubine, and he is at a loss for a while.
"Brother Jiu, you're back...", Xiao Huang said and pushed open the door and came in.
The corners of his eyebrows twitched, and he scolded him a little: "Huang, remember to knock on the door...".
"Oh...", Xiao Huang consciously retreated, stood at the door and knocked a few times: "Ninth brother...".
"Come in...".
Xiao Yan looked up and saw that Xiao Huang was followed by a little eunuch, who looked very familiar.
"How are you"? Flame stood up, a little surprised.
"It's me, I'm the little eunuch Xiao Yuezi", Yan Ziyue said and winked at Xiao Huang, who was looking up at him with a veiled face.
Xiao Yan squinted at Yan Ziyue, not to mention that there was no sense of disobedience when this eunuch uniform was worn on him, but this face didn't look like a subordinate's face.
"I don't believe it, you can check your body", Yan Ziyue didn't know how she thought of this, but she was sure that Xiaoyan would not be true.
"Okay..., Huang, you go out."
Yan Ziyue was dumbfounded, I didn't expect this guy Xiao Yan to play his cards according to common sense.
Xiao Huang was also surprised, and he regained his composure later, and he was really moody and erratic, and he turned around and was about to go out, but was grabbed by Yan Ziyue.
"You... It's true", Yan Ziyue said and looked at Xiao Huang for help, but Xiao Huang replied with a helpless expression.
"Otherwise, what do you think", what Xiao Yan thought was that it would be good to test, not only to avenge the revenge he had taken lightly yesterday, but also to find a way to confirm his identity.
"Huang, don't leave yet...", Xiao Yan squinted at Xiao Huang.
"Ninth brother...", Xiao Huang wanted to say something, but he was afraid of Xiao Yan's eyes, so he had to retreat stupidly, leaving Yan Ziyue with a sympathetic look.
"You dare", Yan Ziyue stepped back and looked at Xiao Yandao, who was approaching him step by step.
"Dare or not, you won't know right away", Xiao Yan said and had already made a move.
Yan Ziyue was helpless, moved slightly, turned around again and again to avoid, but was approached by the flame in an instant, and the two of them played a game of chasing me and hiding in the room.
Xiao Yan saw that Yan Ziyue's light skills were not bad, and she was agile, and she didn't lose to herself, so she didn't touch the corner of her clothes for half a day, so she was ruthless for a while and pounced.
Yan Ziyue saw that Xiao Yan was very cunning, blocking the door everywhere, aiming at the opportunity to dodge to the window, pushing open the window and jumping out, as soon as he landed steadily, he felt the wind behind him, flashed to the side, and glimpsed the somewhat gloomy face of Xiao Yan who was close at hand.
"I'm just joking, you don't have to take it too seriously", Yan Ziyue smiled and flattered.
"Oh... Why, you're so afraid of my medical check-up, it's very suspicious."
"Well... I admit it", Yan Ziyue looked at her and spread her hands.
"What do you admit"? Xiao Yan approached Yan Ziyue again, not wanting to let go of any of her subtle expressions.
"What do you think, I'm the one."
"You know what I think"? Xiao Yan Yan covered the whole of Yan Ziyue in his eyes.
"I don't know... Then you tell me wow", Yan Ziyue's flattering smile instantly shone like the sunshine of the sun.
Xiao Yan felt that the stranger in front of him was credible for some reason, and took advantage of his unpreparedness to grab Yan Ziyue's arm, forcibly pull her back to the study, and take the door with one hand.
"There's something to say, you let go of me first", Yan Ziyue felt that the force in Xiao Yan's hand hurt herself.
"It's okay to let go, don't you want to run, run again, I'll get caught, believe it or not, I'll just do you", Xiao Yan threatened.
Yan Ziyue glanced at Xiao Yan, and thought, do me, what are you going to do with me, I didn't compare with you, I don't believe you really have that ability, but... Don't underestimate the enemy, this guy seems to have some reservations.
Xiao Yan watched Yan Ziyue's expression change, probably guessed her thoughts, and said: "Don't believe it, otherwise you can try", when he said this, he made up his mind that if Yan Ziyue really dared, then see the real move
