Chapter 263: Chen Zhi returns to Qi State
The people sent by the emperor to Qi State here have not found anything about Chen Zhi in the palace for a long time, and they can't help but wonder if the emperor's conjecture is wrong after a few days of fruitless investigation, but they only dare to think about this idea in their minds, after all, it is the emperor, who dares to question the emperor's order?
So these people stayed in Qi State for another two or three days, secretly searched several times, and finally reluctantly determined that Chen Zhi was not in the Qi State Palace.
The emperor was already thinking in his heart that he was waiting for someone to come back and report to him that Qi Guo had taken people away privately, so that he could attack Qi State openly.
In recent years, Zhao Guoguo has been rich and strong, and he has given the emperor great confidence and ambition to lead.
The emperor was originally in the imperial study to correct the folds, but when he heard the father-in-law say that the people sent to Qi had returned, he was excited for a while, but he said indifferently on his face: "Pass them in." ”
"Wow."
After a few people came in, they knelt on the ground, and the person at the head looked a little hesitant, but still said: "Back to the emperor, a few of his subordinates have been investigating in Qi Country in the past few days and have not found that Prince Chen has returned to Qi Kingdom. ”
The emperor frowned and asked in disbelief, "Are you sure you have found out?" ”
"If you go back to the emperor, whether it is the palace or Kyoto, your subordinates have searched little by little, but they have not found Prince Chen. His subordinates dared to guess that Prince Chen did not return to Qi. A drop of cold sweat dripped from the forehead of the man at the head, and he didn't dare to look up at the emperor's expression.
Although the emperor didn't believe it in his heart, it seemed that he had to believe it. These people are all people he has carefully cultivated, if they can't find Chen Zhi, it means that Chen Zhi really didn't return to Qi Kingdom. However, if Chen Zhi didn't return to Qi State, how did he leave if he wasn't picked up by someone from Qi State? Could it be that he escaped on his own? But thinking of Chen Zhi's usual performance, the emperor was a little unsure, in his heart, Chen Zhi belonged to the kind of prince who had no ambitions. It stands to reason that with his own ability, there is no way to escape by himself.
The emperor's fingers tapped the table with a downward stroke, and his eyes were contemplative.
The people kneeling on the ground listened to the "click" of their fingers hitting the table, and they all swallowed a mouthful of saliva, not knowing how the emperor would punish them.
The entire study suddenly became silent, except for the sound of banging on the table.
Although the emperor didn't know how Chen Zhi escaped and whether he helped, he was sure of one thing now, that is, he couldn't attack Qi State yet. Thinking of this, the emperor's eyes sank, Chen Zhi ran away before he could use this chess piece, but he didn't expect that he couldn't take the opportunity to play after he ran, alas.
"Your Majesty." The person at the head couldn't help but scream when he saw that the emperor was silent for a long time.
The emperor was thinking about things, and he was already a little irritable in his heart, but now he was interrupted rashly, and his voice suddenly became extremely cold, "What's the matter?" ”
Except for the head of the people. Even the other people's bodies trembled, and the leader raised his head, his palms full of cold sweat, "If you go back to the emperor, although your subordinates haven't found any trace of Prince Chen in Qi Kingdom, your subordinates have found other things." ”
The emperor raised his eyebrows with interest, "What's the matter?" ”
"Back to the emperor, his subordinates found that the royal family of Qi was not peaceful. Several princes are vying for favor, for the position of prince. Now it's time to get to the top of the day. The man seemed to think of something again, and continued: "The people in the royal family of the Qi State are already fighting each other, and the officials in the court are divided into several parties, so it seems that the current situation in the Qi State is very turbulent. The old emperor has no way to manage it anymore, and he has no ability to manage it anymore. ”
The emperor hooked his lips, the more chaotic the Qi country, the more beneficial it was to his country, thinking about it this way, maybe Chen Zhi's sudden departure was also related to the situation in the Qi country. But now he doesn't care about Chen Zhi anymore......
"From now on, I order you to pay close attention to the affairs of Qi Kingdom, and report to me nothing that you find, understand?" The emperor said coldly.
"Yes!" Several people took orders.
"Let's go down." The emperor waved them away. Then he pondered for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face, and the sandpiper and the clam competed for the benefit of the fisherman, and he himself was the fisherman.
On the outskirts of the capital of Qi State.
Inside the estate.
Chen Zhi, who had been looking for by Emperor Zhao Guo everywhere, was lying on the chair leisurely in red at this time, the man's good-looking peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, since he was picked up by his mother's people that night, he finally returned to Qi Country after several days of day and night, to his surprise, his mother did not let him go back to the palace, but arranged himself in this suburban garden.
He hadn't been bothered here for the past few days, except for a few people who took care of him, and he didn't see anyone else, and the men in black who had brought him back had also left after sending him here.
Chen Zhi still had a loose smile on his face, a gust of wind blew, the leaves fluttered on him, and the man picked up the fallen leaves, his fingers white and slender.
His eyes stared at the fallen leaves in his hand, and somehow suddenly thought of the woman. Holding a whip in her hand, she is obviously a young lady, but she doesn't have the appearance of a lady, she is very arrogant in her work, and she picks up the whip and prepares to do it if she is not satisfied. Chen Zhi chuckled and dropped the leaf casually.
I don't know why, when the man in black came to pick him up, he didn't want to leave. Didn't want to leave her.
Chen Zhi naturally knew about that rumor, the rumor about him and Lan Yao. He actually didn't particularly object to this, because this is a fact, but he didn't object to letting rumors run rampant, but it didn't mean that Lan Yao didn't care. Chen Zhi hooked his lips, his identity in Zhao Guo was a proton, so it would cause inconvenience to Lan Yao, and he knew it in his heart.
The man casually looked around at the surrounding scenery, thinking of the scene when he and Xiao Rin went to the suburban manor of Lan Yao not long ago.
The woman tried her best to suppress the shyness on her face, and said to him seriously: "I'll embroider a sachet for you." ”
But I don't know when this sachet will be handed over to me, and when will I meet her? Chen Zhi thought in his heart, no matter what he did now, he couldn't make his own decisions, if one day he could control his own destiny, then he would definitely go to her, and he would also find her at the ends of the earth.
Chen Zhi put down the complicated feelings in his eyes, but can he control his own destiny?
As smart as him, he naturally knows what his mother is so risking to take to Qi State, although he has not been in Qi Country in the past few years, he is also clear about what happened in Qi State.
It's nothing more than for the throne. Those brothers of his own worked hard and worked hard to deceive me for that position. If you don't come back and get involved, it will be a bit unrighteous.
