Chapter 172, domineering and exposed to the second highness
Xin Yi was naturally not serious, and when he saw this, he also chuckled: "I won't joke with you, the rumors you heard are wrong, although I also claim to be a god, but ...... I don't know what to say, but I can't afford it. β
"Why can't you afford it, everyone in the palace says so now!"
Xin Yi vaguely felt a little strange, after all, it had been two or three months since she last entered the palace, how could such rumors pop up out of thin air? "Who do you all listen to?"
A few little palace maids, you look at me, I look at you, no one can say why: "It's just that everyone is spreading it, we ...... We don't know the specifics. β
Who the hell is spreading this kind of thing?
Who would be so boring...... Or do you want to enter the palace by yourself...... What about borrowing the topic?
Thinking of this, Xin Yiwu tightened his eyebrows, and when he raised his eyes, he had already arrived in front of the imperial study. The palace people who brought her retreated one after another, and a new wave of palace people answered and led her to the door.
The little eunuch led by the leader hurriedly ran into the house: "Your Majesty, Miss Xinyi is here." β
"Xuan."
At this time, the eunuch ran out of the door and instructed her: "Girl, the emperor invites you to go in for a while." β
"Thank you." Xin Yi was blessed with him, and then he took a step into the threshold. The room was as warm as spring, so warm that it almost made her sleepy. She was led by someone, lowered her head and slowly walked into the house, folded into the inner room, took two steps forward and knelt down, leaned over and kowtowed: "The people's daughter Zhuo Xinyi knocks to see the emperor, long live the emperor Jin'an." The folk girl knocked on the second highness and asked the second highness to say goodbye. β
"Get up." Another year passed, and the old emperor's voice seemed to be getting older than before.
After hearing this, Xin Yi also kowtowed again, and then slowly got up and stood with his head down.
"Well, Zhuo Xinyi, I remember you, ...... earlier It's what you said about Shige's return to Beijing, unknown. Now that I have recruited Shige back to Beijing, you can tell me, now...... Is it auspicious or ominous? β
As soon as Xin Yi heard it, he knew that the second highness Shi Ge must have complained with the emperor, and took this opportunity not only to see her and recognize her face, but also to directly give her a dismount. Xin Yi was a little prepared for this, and bent over to bend down: "The emperor doesn't know that this destiny is not immutable. Just because it was ominous at that time doesn't mean it's always ominous. Just like this rain, the growth of grains depends on it, and if there is too much rain, floods can also cause disasters to lose their harvest. Therefore, this timing is the most important, at that time, the Second Highness could not return to Beijing, it was the wrong time, and it would cause calamity, but now after the Second Highness returned to Beijing, the four seas were peaceful, which was a sign of good luck. When she said this, she bent over again: "The people's daughter congratulates the emperor." β
When the old emperor heard this, maybe it was Long Yan Dayue, and he said 'um' with satisfaction.
"Sure enough, I can speak." Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice came, presumably it was the second highness Shi Ge. "It's not like a mundane thing."
She hurriedly lowered her head and smiled: "Thank you, Second Highness, for your praise." β
Shi Ge didn't say anything, but the room was quiet at this time. Xin Yi subconsciously looked up in the direction of his previous voice, but saw a young man in his thirties sitting on the chair next to him, dressed in gorgeous clothes, tied with a golden crown, and his facial features were sharp and angular. There is no expression on his face, so people can't guess half of his joy and anger. He also realized Xin Yi's gaze, and his eyes rolled to meet her gaze.
Xin Yi suddenly panicked, hung his head hastily, and was speechless for a long time.
"I heard that you are the junior sister of Dr. Mu."
"Yes."
"Sure enough, it is worthy of being a teacher." Shi Ge said lightly: "You said so much just now, I listened to the people of Qin Tianjian...... That's all I can say, and I'm tired of listening to it. I heard from my mother that the girl was very good at decoding divination, but I don't know if she can ...... Let me take a look? β
Speaking of this, the old emperor was also interested: "Oh? Speaking of which, I haven't seen you unsign with my own eyes, but I've only heard the concubines in the harem talk about it. β
It took so much effort for a long time, wearing a top hat and saying good things, and unsigning in front of the emperor...... Could it be that these two highnesses really want her to make a fool of herself directly? If you want to lift her up to the sky first, and then let her be counted as a deception at once...... From this point of view, the popular rumors that the group of palace people said just now are likely to be spread by His Royal Highness II.
But Xin Yi subconsciously, he always felt that these two princes were not so eager to kill her, right? She is implicated in the Mu family, and the relationship between Mu Fangjin and the Third Highness is very obvious, even if she wants to seize power, the Second Highness should not make these too obvious.
Feeling that the second highness Shige had such a sense of losing his fault and picking thorns and touching porcelain, Xin Yi also smiled and said: "It's just that the people don't know, what does the second highness want to measure?" β
"I've heard that the girl's unsigning is probably divided into several categories, so ...... I have a lost item, and I want the girl to measure the lost item, is it okay? β
As soon as Xin Yi heard this, he estimated that the two princes had already figured out their routines, and they couldn't help but secretly scream in their hearts, but now, even if they catch ducks on the shelves, they have to do it.
The palace maid hurriedly took the lottery and handed it to Shi Ge, and at this time, the second prince Shi Ge raised his eyes and glanced at her lightly. If Shi Hong's smile on his face makes people feel gentle and elegant, then Shi Ge's cold face can only make people feel a kind of pressure.
Right...... The aura of hegemony emanating from him is probably something that Shihong can't completely match, and this may be the spirit that a man can only sharpen on the battlefield.
After a hurried glance, Shige picked up the lottery holder and pulled out the lottery.
The maidservant hurriedly picked up the counting slip that fell on the ground and handed it to Xin Yi.
Xin Yi took the lot, and was not in a hurry to look at it, but raised his eyes and asked Shige: "I don't know Your Royal Highness, although this sign is a lost item, can it ...... What kind of lost property is this? When and where was it lost? β
"Yes, Shigo, what kind of treasure is this? I really can't find it, so it's a big deal that my father will give you another one. β
After hearing this, the second prince immediately got up and bent down to bow to the emperor: "Thank you for your father's kindness, it's just ...... This kind of thing really means a lot to Erchen, and Erchen must find it back. β
"That's what she asked, you like that...... When was it lost? β
"More than ten years ago."
"Oh? That...... Where is it? β
"Back to my father, it's in Beijing."
The old emperor bowed slightly, stroked his beard and said, "I'm afraid this is hard to find." More than ten years have passed, if this thing is lost, can it still be recovered? β
At this time, Shige turned his attention to Xin Yi and said slowly: "It depends on how this girl unravels this lottery, to calculate whether it is possible for me to retrieve it?" β
Lost property?
Why should the good ones be counted as lost items? He didn't say what the hell was this lost thing. If you have to find her trouble, then you can ask Mouwang and the like, why is it a lost item?
This is clearly what it is difficult to be strong! The devil knows what he's missing!
Xin Yi pursed his lips and looked down at the counting stickβthe twenty-third sign.
I don't know what the conspiracy is, but if I make do with it first, I'll think about it in the long run. Xin Yi thought about it, and said: "His Royal Highness He Xier, this is the twenty-third sign, up." β
But Shi Ge listened, and his face was still unshocked, "Dare to ask, what is the explanation?" β
"This signature is:
Persuade the monarch to change and disobey, but only as a deaf ear.
Wuwu Fangtou picked it up, and asked carefully on the way. β
And when he was talking about the signing of the document, he saw the second prince Shi Ge's brows suddenly frown unnaturally, which was the only time Xin Yi had seen his expression change since he entered the door.
How...... Is this really accurate?
At this moment, as if there was something important, the eunuch hurriedly ran over and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Shangshu Ling Li has arrived and is waiting outside." β
Seeing this, His Royal Highness also got up and arched his hand and said, "Since my father still has important matters, the ministers will retreat first." β
The Emperor replied with an "um".
Seeing that His Royal Highness was gone, Xin Yi felt that he was naturally an outsider who could not stay for a long time, so he was also blessed: "Your Majesty, the people's daughter also retired first." β
Although Xin Yi didn't really want to go with His Second Highness, he had to take a step...... By the way, I passed by Li Shen and his father.
The general walked out of the door of the imperial study, but the Second Highness stopped first, turned her head to look at Xin Yi, this kind of action really made her very frightened, and hurriedly lowered her head and dared to stare at the tip of her shoes: "I don't know what else His Royal Highness has to order." β
"I didn't have any orders." His tone was very flat and unfazed, "It's just that I have a few words to say to you about the lottery just now." β
Xin Yi's hanging heart fell halfway. "Oh, I see." She hurriedly replied: "The lottery just now, His Royal Highness should feel that the time is right...... Or do you have something to say to the people's daughter? β
"Accurate, that's true. In the words of the signature, the girl really had two hits. β¦β¦ Lost is only a deaf ear, hum, yes, when I lost at that time, I didn't think so. β
"Then it seems that since His Royal Highness wants to find that thing back now, it will be easy." Hearing this, Xin Yi hurriedly added a sentence like a sycophant.
At this time, the Second Highness was staring at her eyes, until she couldn't help but pick her eyes to look at the person, and the moment she met her gaze, the corners of the Second Prince Shige's mouth suddenly hooked up with an untraceable arc: "Do you know...... What was it that I threw away? β
Xin Yi's Adam's apple moved unnaturally, hesitated for a few seconds, and then shook his head: "The folk girl doesn't know." β
"I don't think you would expect me to find it once you knew what I had lost." Shi Ge lowered his eyes, then bent his body slightly, leaned into her ear and whispered, "My lost item is ...... The crown prince. β
After saying this, he straightened up and walked away as if he had never done anything or said anything.
Only Xin Yi was left stunned in place, and then involuntarily shivered.
