Chapter Ninety-Three: Face Saint

The eunuch introduced Gan Peilin into the inner hall.

I thought my father and brother were there. Unexpectedly, in the huge main hall, only the emperor was sitting alone.

"The courtier Gan Peilin visited the emperor." Gan Peilin made a big salute according to the rules, his forehead was attached to the gold bricks of the Golden Palace, and his eyebrows were slightly frowned.

Xuan Qi looked at her quietly, and said quietly for a long time: "No courtesy." ”

"Your Majesty." Gan Peilin got up slowly, still hanging his head and didn't look at the emperor's face.

The chamberlain had already placed what Yu Linwei had searched in front of the emperor.

Xuan Qi opened the brocade box and looked at the glittering light of the moonlight, and was sure that this was the right thing.

His face couldn't help but be much darker.

Gan Peilin saw that he had been silent, so he knew that this time he was afraid that he had stabbed the hornet's nest.

"Is this thing yours?" Xuan Qi suddenly spoke.

Gan Peilin could hear the heavy coolness in his voice, and hurriedly shook his head: "Back to the emperor, that brocade box is used by the courtiers to put the golden hairpin." ”

It was a clever answer, both telling the truth and showing that she didn't know what was inside.

"But there's no golden hairpin in it now." Xuanqi stared at her with her head down, and said in an unkind tone: "Raise your head." ”

Naturally, he did as he was told, Gan Peilin slowly raised his head, his eyes clearly touched his deep gaze, and his expression was a little unnatural.

Xuanqi directly took out the belly pocket: "This, have you seen it?" ”

Did he ask if he had seen it? Instead, is it yours!

It also shows that he recognized such a thing as the moon bend.

Gan Peilin pinched his palm hard with his nails, and his painful face was hot. "Courtier...... Haven't seen it. ”

After just one glance, she quickly lowered her head. The palm of his palm was pinched to death by himself, and he barely made a blushing heartbeat.

Xuanqi didn't see anything wrong with her face after all. I thought to myself, she was just a girl who had not left the cabinet, and she should not have any thoughts about these things.

"It's good that I haven't seen it." His tone was slightly better. "It's just whether this brocade box can be given to me."

Gan Peilin raised his head again: "Of course you can." ”

"I heard that a few days ago, there was an invasion of the imperial court in the place where you lived, did you notice it?" Xuan Qi changed his tone to speak to her. It's a bit approachable.

It's not because of Gan Peilin's beauty. Rather, he felt that he might be able to get something out of her mouth in this way.

"My brother once came to the courtier's star-picking building to search thoroughly, saying that there was a Qin prisoner breaking in. But for some reason, no suspicious person was found. Gan Peilin said with some grievances: "It's not the first time someone has broken into the Star Picking Tower. My mother had also caught a thief before. ”

"Oh?" Xuan Qi couldn't help but be curious: "Gan's Mansion is the residence of Da Sima, and the heavily guarded palace is comparable to that of the imperial palace. How could there be a bad guy breaking in three times or twice? ”

As soon as he asked his words, he saw Gan Peilin's clear and translucent eyes, covered with a thin layer of mist.

"The courtiers don't know." Gan Peilin bit his lip, looking helpless.

Xuan Qi was a little uncomfortable by her like this, as if her majesty had wronged her. "That's it. I just asked casually. ”

Gan Peilin lowered his head again. The emperor's reign did not last long, and his life did not last long. Thinking that he finally died at the hands of Ao Xuan, he felt a little guilty about him. After all, in the previous life, she really coveted his country, not only coveted, but also moved.

"What do you think of your big brother?" Xuanqi asked a somewhat strange question.

"......" Gan Peilin was stunned, and didn't know how to answer for a while. The emperor definitely didn't want to hear her say good things about Gan Puyang. But at this time, what she wants to keep is not Gan Puyang, but the entire Gan Mansion......

"What? Is it hard to answer? Seeing that she was silent, Xuanqi didn't want to give her more time to think.

"If you go back to the emperor, if it is just him as a brother, the courtiers feel ...... Not so much. Gan Peilin sighed softly, and continued: "But he has been practicing with his father every day since he was a child, and he has already practiced the archery technique of piercing Yang in 100 steps before he was even ten years old. For more than ten years, he has not wasted his skills for a day, and he has also set a good example for his courtiers. ”

"Huh." Xuan Qi was amused by her words. "You're such a smart girl."

Gan Peilin hooked the corners of his lower lip with some embarrassment: "The emperor praised it falsely." ”

"I still have a question." Xuanqi's face suddenly became majestic again.

There was still no trace of impurity in his clear eyes, and Gan Peilin looked at him quietly, waiting for him to speak.

That gentle appearance makes people look very comfortable.

"You seem to be very familiar with King Shengqing?" A cold light flashed in Xuanqi's eyes.

It was really just a flash, but Gan Peilin saw it.

"I thought that His Royal Highness King Shengqing would care about the people and things in the house for the sake of his second sister." Gan Peilin showed regret. "Princess Qingning is very compatible with the palace."

"Do you know Qingning?" Xuanqi was a little curious.

"The courtiers were good at making incense, and they once met the princess in the market. At that time, the identity of the princess was not known. Later, the princess revealed her wealth and attracted villains, and it was His Royal Highness who saved the beauty as a hero on the street, which contributed to this good relationship. Gan Peilin told the whole thing because she believed that the emperor could find out.

"I see." Xuanqi's face calmed down again. "A few years ago, I remember that when Gan Mansion held a banquet and hospitality, your mother Gan Xu's delicacies were excellent. It's a pity ......"

Gan Peilin didn't know why he suddenly said this, so he lowered his head quietly and didn't say anything.

"That's it." Xuan Wei waved his hand: "Don't talk about this." I'll have you sent home. ”

"Your Majesty." Gan Peilin couldn't help but be anxious.

"How?" Xuan Qi stared at her slap-sized little face: "Anything else?" ”

"Can you let the courtiers go home with their father and brother?" Gan Peilin said with a worried face: "Grandmother is not in good health, and she is uncomfortable on the way back from praying for blessings. I think if my father and brother can go back to serve together, my grandmother will feel more at ease. ”

"Nature." Xuanqi nodded without hesitation. "The carriage is waiting for you outside."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gan Peilin saluted happily and gently withdrew from the hall.

Only then did Xuan Qi throw his belly pocket back into the brocade box, and said to the eunuch on the side: "Did that slut recruit you?" ”

The inner chamberlain shook his head again and again: "She refuses to say." ”

"Then make her suffer." Xuanqi's cold face revealed murderous intent. "It's still a blessing for Da Sima, if he doesn't have a good son, he just gives birth to girls who stand out."

The eunuch didn't know how to answer, so he could only bow and leave.

Gan Peilin was sent to the carriage by the little eunuch, only to find his father sitting in the carriage with a straight face.

"Father." Gan Peilin hurriedly saluted.

"Peilin, why are you here?" Gan Yuntian couldn't help but be surprised, and reached out to pull her up.

"The daughter was brought into the palace by Yu Linwei, and she was summoned by the emperor." Gan Peilin said with some concern: "Yu Linwei found something in the Star Picking Tower. ”

"What's that?" Gan Yuntian's heart tightened.

"Yes...... It's ......" Gan Peilin said with some embarrassment: "A belly pocket, embroidered under the moon." ”

"Belly pocket?" Gan Yuntian was stunned again. Originally, disaster fell from the sky, and he didn't understand what was wrong. Hearing Gan Peilin say this, he suddenly had doubts in his heart. "Is there anything special about that belly pocket, you think about it."

"It seems to be the one that was fashionable in the imperial city a while ago." Gan Peilin lowered his head very stiffly.

The carriage has already begun to go.

"Father, big brother, did he go home first?" Gan Peilin deliberately pretended to be surprised.

Gan Yuntian snorted coldly: "He wants to go back, I'm afraid it's difficult." ”

"But the emperor promised Pei Lin to let my father and eldest brother go back to the house with me. My grandmother was unwell and needed to be cared for. ”

"Your grandmother is not well?" Gan Yuntian couldn't help but be anxious: "What's the matter?" Didn't you go to pray for blessings? ”

"Isn't it okay for my father to ask my grandmother to tell me something?" Gan Peilin was also confused. "I was about to go home when my grandmother saw the man and fainted."

"Not really." Gan Yuntian was suddenly detained by the emperor's people, and he was just stranded in the palace. I haven't even seen anyone around me.

"Father, what the hell is going on?" Gan Peilin looked a little scared, and his little face turned pale and pale. She didn't look in the mirror at that time, otherwise she should have praised herself for being so good at acting. It's like a real worry.

"What a rebel, a rebel!" Willing to shiver in the weather.

Gan Peilin saw him so uncomfortable, not only was he not sad, but he still had a trace of joy. This is the good son he arrogantly came out of, and he can ask for hundreds of lives in Ganfu to accompany the funeral in an instant.

"Don't be angry, father, your body matters." In Gan Peilin's misty eyes, there was a little bit of perseverance.

"What did the emperor tell you?" Gan Yuntian held Gan Peilin's wrist: "Don't drop a word, tell your father." ”

"Yes." Gan Peilin nodded, cautiously repeated the emperor's words, and watched Gan Yuntian's face become as black as the bottom of the pot.

It wasn't until he got out of the carriage and entered the mansion that Gan Yuntian said to Gan Peilin: "Don't mention the matter of the face saint to anyone again." ”

"Yes, father." Gan Peilin nodded again and again.

Gan Yuntian walked a few steps and stopped: "There have been many accidents in Xingxinglou, all because of lax vigilance. The Father will give you some more men. ”

"Thank you dad for your care." Gan Peilin saluted and thanked again.

"Let's go back." Gan Yuntian waved his hand. When she left, she called the butler over. "During the days when I was not in the house, did Madame treat the eldest lady harshly?"

"This ......," the butler wanted to say but did not dare to say, "not really." It's just that the eldest lady likes to be quiet, so she reduced the manpower of the star building. ”

"How many people are there in Su Ri to serve the eldest lady?" Gan Yuntian wanted to know to what extent. "Just say it."

"In addition to the crispy core, there are only two mothers-in-law who do rough work." The housekeeper didn't dare to look at Gan Yuntian's face: "Later, King Shengqing sent the servants over, and the old lady transferred some ...... after returning home."

The clenched fists clenched, and Gan Yuntian's face turned blue: "Tell Mo Shi to go to the study and wait." ”

With that, he strode towards the Zen Heart Temple.
