Qianqing Palace.

The emperor sat on the soft collapse and looked at the folds, and suddenly saw Gao Qishou come in, "Your Majesty, the queen is here." ”

"Got it."

He quickly closed the folds, and Gao Qishou willingly stepped forward to put them away and put them on the bookcase in the middle room.

When Su Youyi walked in from outside, there was nothing on the table except for a cup of tea.

Probably felt a little deliberate, Gao Qishou hurriedly ordered someone to bring tea and snacks up, Su Youyi only glanced at it, "When did the emperor start to love cardamom cake?" ”

"What?"

The emperor didn't react for a while, and when he looked down at the table, he understood what Su Youyi was talking about.

Gao Qishou did it too deliberately, in order to show that the emperor was eating dim sum, he was confused for a while with cardamom cake that the emperor usually doesn't like to eat.

This is really a self-defeating one.

Su Youyi's gaze looked inside beyond the curtain, and soon saw the folds piled up like a hill.

Presumably, those folds were placed on the table in front of her.

The emperor is deliberately avoiding her contact with political affairs.

Su Youyi felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, this feeling of not being trusted was the first time she had tasted it since she entered the palace.

is already the queen, but she is no longer the emperor's most trusted person.

Sure enough, what she said was that being a queen is better than being a favorite concubine, and the favorite concubine will not make the emperor so jealous.

The emperor was sloppy, "It's nothing, it's just that I haven't eaten it for a long time." By the way, how is the repair of the East Fourth Institute? ”

"Everything is in order, the concubine has gone to see it in person, and the craftsmen don't dare not care."

Su Youyi picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, with a somewhat bitter taste.

After all, she still couldn't hold back, and asked, "The concubine now lives in Kunning Palace, and she is close, and she often hears some rumors in front of her. I heard that the DPRK and China. Something big is wrong, but is it true? ”

Presumably she already knew about Ji Yushen, but she asked again.

The emperor's expression suddenly became lonely.

He is hiding, she is hiding, and the two have experienced life and death, why are they not as close as before?

There is always a smell of each other.

After a while, the emperor said: "It's still a legacy left by Li Ge Lao." The bodies of a group of dead soldiers were turned out in the suburbs of Beijing, and it was found that the housekeeper of the Ji Mansion sent someone to bury them. Li He of the Li Party entered the palace to report Ji Yushen, saying that those people were once raised by Li Ge's old man, and later returned to Ji Yushen and did a lot of evil things. ”

Su Youyi nodded slightly.

With her cleverness, she quickly realized the problem, "Since it is Ji Yushen's subordinates, why did they all die overnight, or did the housekeeper of the Ji Mansion bury them?" ”

"It's said to be a murder."

He used two in a row, and it was said that Su Youyi had to be suspicious.

But all the dead soldiers are loyal to the main family, and even in order to complete the task, they do not hesitate to sacrifice themselves to protect the main family when they are exposed, so they are called dead soldiers.

How much can't Ji Yushen think about it, so he will take the initiative to kill his own dead soldiers?

She smiled, "It's just that since he is a dead soldier with strong martial arts, he must be the strongest killer under his hands." To kill such a group of more than a dozen people, how many masters with higher martial arts should be used? With Ji Shoufu's current ability, how can he recruit people who are stronger than the dead soldiers recruited by Li Ge Lao when he was in his heyday? ”

He had nothing to say to her.

There was a hint of stagnant embarrassment in the air.

The emperor frowned, "You don't know what I'm thinking, so why do you ask aggressively?" ”

These words are tantamount to admitting that those dead soldiers were killed by the emperor.

First, to relieve the defense force around Ji Yushen, and second, to use these corpses to make a fuss and let Ji Yushen go to prison.

Su Youyi knew that the emperor had murderous intentions towards Ji Yu, but what she didn't expect was that the emperor would be so anxious-

Li Gelao's matter had just come to an end, and he was impatient to make a move on Ji Yushen, which showed how jealous the emperor was of Ji Yushen.

She smiled reluctantly, "The emperor is so anxious, is he worried that Ji Yushen will still move in the previous dynasty, or is it ...... Because of the concubine? ”

The emperor did not respond to her words.

Su Youyi was stunned, "It seems that the emperor can't let go of my past with him after all, otherwise with his current situation in the court, there is really no need for the emperor to kill him." Keeping his life can fulfill the emperor's virtuous name, but the emperor would rather not have a virtuous name than his life. ”

The emperor's gaze suddenly sharpened, "Are you interceding for him?" ”

He hasn't wanted Su Youyi to know about Ji Yushen these days, not because he was worried that Su Youyi would get in the way, but because he was worried that she would intercede for Ji Yushen.

What he couldn't see the most was that Su Youyi pleaded for Ji Yushen.

It only made the jealousy in his heart more tangible and clearer to swallow his reason.

Su Youyi knew this, but she couldn't help but speak.

Even if the emperor was angry, she had to say what was in her heart, "Your Majesty, Ji Yu is guilty of not death." Although he had murderous intentions against the emperor, he was lost after all. The emperor should also know in his heart that if he really has a heart of disobedience, he will not completely stand still when the emperor is seriously ill, right? ”

"That's because you are in the palace, there is a prince under my knees, and there are virtuous ministers in the court, and he doesn't dare."

Su Youyi smiled self-deprecatingly, "How can the concubine be virtuous?" It is true that the emperor has princes under his knees, but they are all young. It is not false that there are virtuous ministers in the court, but none of them can suppress Ji Yushen's edge. The concubine found a prescription for the emperor to cure the epidemic, and he could have done it secretly, but he never moved. Your Majesty, you are really. Do you think he wants to hurt you? ”

"Enough!"

The emperor was furious and knocked over the teacup with a flick of his sleeve.

Gao Qishou stood aside and fell to his knees with a puff of fright.

Xiao Yizi and other people waiting outside the hall also heard the movement inside, and they all held their breath and did not dare to make any movement, for fear of touching the emperor's moldy head.

This is the first time that the emperor has been angry with her.

Su Youyi didn't feel scared, but felt that the emperor was annoyed and angry.

She slowly stood up from her seat and knelt down slowly, "The concubine angered the emperor, and she deserved death." ”

This is also the first time she has said such polite and respectful words to the emperor.

Something seems to be quietly changing.

The emperor lowered his eyes and looked at Su Youyi dressed in a gorgeous dress, her eyebrows and eyes were still vaguely the same, but she didn't have the smile she used to have.

In its place, only stubbornness and high spirits were served.

The anger in his chest came out, "The queen has been too tired to manage the harem recently, and she has lost her honor in front of the emperor, so she should go back to Kunning Palace to recuperate, and you don't have to come to Qianqing Palace if you have nothing to do!" ”

The understatement of "you don't have to come to the Qianqing Palace for nothing" is the biggest humiliation for the queen.

The emperor had never treated Su Youyi like this before.

Su Youyi slowly stood up, "Thank you for the emperor's grace, the concubines have always been lazy to walk around, so it's okay." The concubines have been too tired recently, and it is inevitable that they will lose their manners in front of the emperor, so as not to offend, the emperor will not go to Kunning Palace. ”

Gao Qishou, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled.

The emperor didn't allow Su Youyi to come to Qianqing Palace, so she dared not allow the emperor to go to Kunning Palace, this is too bold, right? !
