Chapter 113: Dragon Order
Mu Baizhuo nodded, "The matter of seizing the heir back then was very thrilling, if it wasn't for the people of the clan colluding with the treasury eunuchs, how could they empty half of the treasury?" β
"Presumably the emperor has been very worried about this matter in the past two years, right?"
Mu Baizhuo picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, "That's nature." β
He asked, "Why are you suddenly concerned about this?" β
"Your Royal Highness, I think, if I ask myself to investigate the gold case, will I be able to enter and leave the palace often?" It occurred to her that perhaps, the gold was missing again, and that wasn't a bad thing.
Mu Baizhuo put down the teacup, leaned forward slightly, and reached out to probe her forehead, "Little Wuyu, you didn't burn it, how can you talk some nonsense!" β
"Why does His Royal Highness say that?" Nan Qiao looked at him puzzled.
Mu Baizhuo withdrew his hand, "This matter is related to the clan, I am afraid that I can't avoid it, what are you a noble girl blindly mixed with?" You're dying, aren't you? β
Nan Qiao vaguely understood his good intentions to dissuade her, but if she didn't participate in this matter, she was afraid that if she didn't see her brother very much, the plan would stall, not to mention, her mind was not really on the gold, just looking for an excuse.
Since the Feng family suffered a big loss in the paddock, the queen and the concubine have been looking at her brother unpleasantly, presumably her brother refused to summon her into the palace to meet her, just to avoid suspicion and get close to her, and did not want the Feng family to target her, after all, she is just a noble girl in Nalan Mansion, if the Feng family remembers something to move on her, it is bound to take a lot of effort to deal with it.
Besides, the identity of the noble daughter of Nalan Mansion has already made Ji Wuyu aware that something is wrong, if she doesn't solve it quickly, she is afraid that if it drags on for a long time, the more unfavorable it will be to her brother and her, since she is a relative of the Guan clan, it is better to use the gold case to muddy the waters.
"Thank you Your Royal Highness for informing me of the events of the year, and tomorrow, I would like to ask His Royal Highness the Prince to help me introduce me to the emperor, I am very grateful!"
"Xiao Wuyu, you have to think about it, this matter is really not something you and I can interfere in, I'm just afraid of you..."
She nodded seriously, and said in an unexpectedly calm tone, "I understand the kindness of His Royal Highness the Prince, and I am also bothered by His Royal Highness the Prince's recommendation." β
Mu Baizhuo frowned, and took a big sip of the tea on the table irritably, "Why are you so persistent, in fact, if you want to enter and leave the palace, as long as you go to the king of Hades, you don't have to be so troublesome." β
After a moment of silence, Nan Qiao said to herself, "I don't want to have anything to do with him, and besides, I can't say those words. β
Mu Baizhuo finally nodded slightly and sighed, and didn't say much.
The next day, Nan Qiao entered the palace with Mu Baizhuo early in the morning, and outside the imperial study, Nan Qiao stood in a regular manner, quietly waiting for the summons inside.
Sure enough, within a moment, a eunuch came out and announced her in.
Nan Qiao was officially meeting Yu Wenmo this time, and she was still a little nervous in her heart, she looked up at the gilded characters on the door, and exhaled secretly.
As soon as he entered, Nan Qiao didn't dare to look up, walked to the dragon case, and bowed down and shouted long live.
The person above just said flat, and she got up.
"Nalan Wuyu, have you seen that batch of gold?"
Nan Qiao still lowered his head, stared at the bright yellow and orange bookcase in front of him, and said, "The courtiers fell into Shili Lotus Lake by chance, and saw that batch of gold at the bottom of the lake. β
After speaking, she took out the ingot of gold from her bosom and offered it with both hands.
From time to time, the eunuch beside the emperor stepped forward and took the gold from her, and then presented it to Yu Wenmo.
Nan Qiao didn't know what the expression on Yu Wenmo's face was at this moment, but this moment of silence made her feel uneasy, even if she had practiced all the excuses and reasons several times before she came, to make sure that she would not show any flaws, but she was still inevitably a little uneasy at this moment.
There was a slight sound on the dragon case, and Yu Wenmo put down the ingot of gold, lifted his eyelids and glanced at the respectful woman below.
"It's indeed the gold I'm looking for, why didn't you report it to me at the time?"
Nan Qiao responded freely, "The courtiers grew up on the border since she was a child, and her knowledge was shallow, so she didn't know that this was treasury gold at that time, and she hadn't heard of any major gold cases, so she was a little at a loss for a while, and she didn't know what to do!" β
He thought for a moment and said, "Then why are you here to report to me now?" β
"The courtiers knew that there was gold at the bottom of the lake, and they couldn't sleep and eat all day long, but fortunately they befriended His Royal Highness the prince and showed him the gold, and later learned that this was the gold lost by the treasury, so she asked His Royal Highness the prince to report to the emperor on behalf of the courtiers." After saying these words, Nan Qiao's palms were slightly sweaty.
Yu Wenmo's voice was a little deep, "If you had come to report to me a few days earlier, maybe that batch of gold would not have been transferred!" β
Nan Qiao knelt down and fell to the ground, "The courtiers are guilty, delaying the best time to find the gold, the courtiers are willing to make meritorious contributions to help the emperor find out the whereabouts of that batch of gold as soon as possible!" β
Yu Wenmo was shocked by the second half of her sentence, the gold case is very important and involves a wide range of people, even Mu Baizhuo does not dare to get involved in this case, Nalan Wuyu, a little noblewoman, actually boasted of Haikou?
What a naΓ―ve!
A suspicious gaze swept over Nan Qiao's head, "Nalan Wuyu, do you know what you're talking about?" β
Nan Qiao didn't dare to raise his head, but his voice was loud, "Although the courtiers are not smart, but the courtiers have always had good luck, and they can touch gold in any lake, if they are encountered by the courtiers in the cave one day, they will definitely report the location of the gold to the emperor as soon as possible!" β
"Hehe..."Yu Wenmo's laughter came from above, "It's the first time I've heard that if you're lucky, you can come across gold, but then again, you're really lucky, the gold case that has been without clues for two years is finally because you have some clues, and King Pingding, who has never been close to women, took the initiative to ask me for marriage, even Concubine Nan, who lives in the deep palace..."
Yu Wenmo didn't continue, but when he heard the end, Nan Qiao couldn't help but shudder, Yu Wenmo said this, did he doubt his brother!
Or something else?
At the moment, she couldn't guess anything, now that she had installed the south wall, it was impossible even if she wanted to turn back, so she could only continue to move forward, she said with a little girlish innocence, "Is the emperor a quasi-courtier helping to find the whereabouts of that batch of gold?" β
Yu Wenmo waved his sleeves, "In this way, I will allow you to assist King Pingding in finding the whereabouts of this batch of gold, and if there is danger in the case, he can take care of you, you get up!" β
Nan Qiao frowned, sure that he didn't get up, "Your Majesty, in fact, the courtiers want to find the whereabouts of the gold by themselves, and they don't want to bother the prince." β
Not only Mu Baizhuo was surprised, but even Yu Wenmo looked at the kneeling girl on the ground very puzzled,
"Nalan Wuyu, do you know the danger of this case? Besides, I have married you to the king of Pingding, and it would be better for you to solve the case with him! β
"The courtiers know, but the courtiers still have something to ask the emperor."
"Tell me about it!" Yu Wenmo's voice was lighter than before, obviously with some interest.
Nan Qiao said directly, "If his courtiers find gold for the emperor, the courtiers want to ask the emperor to take back the marriage between the courtiers and the king of Pingding!" β
Mu Baizhuo on the side was already dumbfounded, and then he shook his head and sighed secretly. No wonder Xiao Wuyu had to enter the palace to see the emperor, and he also wanted to get involved in the gold case, it turned out that he wanted to dissolve the marriage contract in this way.
It's a pity that Mu Baizhuo guessed half right!
Yuwen Mo is worthy of being the Ninety-Five Supreme, seeing Nan Qiao say these amazing words, in addition to looking at her a few more times, his face is still majestic, and after a moment of silence, "It's interesting!" But the decree of my marriage has been given..."
Nan Qiao didn't know whether Yu Wenmo should or not, and he didn't dare to act rashly, so he only heard Yu Wenmo ask Mu Baizhuo again,
"Xiaobai thinks this matter, do I allow it or not?"
Mu Baizhuo almost choked on saliva, the emperor obviously threw this hot potato to him, if he said yes, then the king of Hades would definitely break his bones, if he said no, Xiao Wuyu was here, and he might not be able to find him how to settle accounts afterwards, but the emperor asked him and he couldn't choose not to answer, so Mu Baizhuo gritted his teeth and glanced at Nan Qiao on the ground, and compromised,
"Back to the emperor, finding that batch of gold is the top priority at the moment, the clues that finally appeared before, all because of the second lady's excellent luck to come across, according to the minister's view, the second lady helped trace the whereabouts of the gold is not inappropriate, but the dissolution of the marriage contract, the emphasis is on the two lovers, the second miss herself said, if the gold is found by her... But the gold case has not been solved for two years, and the second lady must not be so easy to find, so it is better to... Whoever finds this marriage contract first will listen to whomever it is, and the other party must not have any objections, the emperor... What do you think? β
Mu Baizhuo finally finished grinding these words, he was really embarrassed to death, neither side could be offended, but both sides were offended.
Yu Wenmo only chuckled after hearing this, "That's very good!" His voice raised a little, and he said with a sense of majesty, "Nalan Wuyu listens to the order, I give you the dragon order, and order you to secretly find the gold, and after the matter is completed, I will have another reward!" β
"Thank you to my emperor, long live my emperor!"
After kowtowing, Gonggong An put the dragon order in her hand, and after thanking her again, Nan Qiao and Mu Baizhuo withdrew from the imperial study.
Although Mu Baizhuo took her to trap her, he also did her a great favor, "Your Royal Highness, thank you for today's events!" β
Mu Baizhuo explained, "Little Wuyu, in fact, I... The emperor suddenly asked me, I wanted to be on your side, but when I thought of Hades..."
Nan Qiao patted him on the shoulder, "It's okay, now that I have the dragon order in my hand, I can enter and leave the palace, as for the rest." β
"Xiao Wuyu, don't underestimate this dragon order, it is not only as simple as being able to enter the palace, although it is not as big as the role of the gold medal to avoid death, but it symbolizes that you are a person who directly obeys the emperor's orders, and the role is not small. Mu Baizhuo explained the role of the Dragon Order very carefully, as if he was afraid that Nan Qiao would not know how important this thing was.
