Chapter 8 Discovering the Clues
"My dear concubine, you are making trouble now, and you have lost enough people, now it's time to go back to the palace with me."
Long Yuechen's title changed suddenly, and Xia Qiqi was stunned for an instant, and this ...... What is the meaning......
In the palace, it was still that dilapidated small courtyard, and Xia Qiqi and the others finally stood up with their waists after being thrown to the ground fiercely.
, she it, what kind of Emperor Laoshizi is, it's too cruel, she is so good that she is also one of her concubines, even if it is not good, this identity is still there, he is so cruel to her.
"Mother's ......"
I only heard a "clang", and the bamboo basket in the hand of a petite figure in the distance fell.
"Mother, why are you back?"
She just went to the other palace maids to ask for some food, and as soon as she walked outside the door, she heard a familiar voice, she hurriedly walked in, and after confirming it again and again, she finally determined that this person in a eunuch uniform was her mother. But...... Isn't the mother going to come back?
"Hee-hee! Yangchun, you've been doing well lately, I'm here to see you. ”
Looking at her maid, Xia Qiqi's face was embarrassed, obviously she said that she would not come back in the morning, but she didn't expect to be arrested in the afternoon, and that person was still the emperor of Rausch, this time, her face was embarrassed.
"Niangniang, didn't you tell Yangchun that you don't plan to come back after you go out?"
Yangchun quickly walked in front of Xia Qiqi and asked suspiciously.
"This ...... Well...... Yangchun, I thought about it, I still don't want to go out first, you see, you've been with me for so many years, and I'm still reluctant to leave you here alone, so I thought about it, let's stay with you, anyway, this palace is not small, and we don't have to be attached to the outside, right? ”
Xia Qiqi said with a happy face, but tears were in his heart.
This time she was caught by the Emperor Laoshzi, and the emperor would definitely send more people to take strict care of her, even if she wanted to get out, it would be difficult, it was better to wait for him to relax his vigilance, and then find a way to get out.
However, this palace is so boring, does she really have the patience to wait until that time?
This emperor is really, since he doesn't like her, and he doesn't have any husband and wife with her, why bother to bring her back, anyway, her home has been taken care of by him, and she is the only one, and it is impossible to calculate and frame him because of revenge.
"Well, Niangniang, I've thought about it, if you want to go out next time, the slave will definitely accompany you, if there is no Niangniang, the slave will stay here all the time, serving others, it's not interesting!"
Yangchun's eyes were resolute.
Although she and their mother, because they have been treated as chess pieces, they are a little irritable and indifferent, but in the end, it is still their mother, and if their mother wants to go out again next time, even if she loses this life, she will go with their mother.
"That'...... Well, by the way, I'm a little hungry right now, do you have anything to eat? ”
Xia Qiqi pinched a reason, she really didn't want to talk about this face-hurting thing anymore.
What kind of emperor is this, the first person to arrest her on the spot, she and him are incompatible!
"Yes, yes, the slave maid just went to ask some palace maids in the palace and asked for some food, if the mother wants, ......"
The latter words, Yang Chun didn't say it, she seemed to have forgotten that when she came over just now, it seemed that she had dropped the basket on the ground, and it was estimated that the food inside had also hit.
"Niangniang, if you want it, the slave maid will ask the palace maid for some more!"
Xia Qiqi looked at the basket lying on the ground in the distance, and the broken bowl next to the basket, and instantly understood why.
"Alright then, that's really hard for you, hehe."
Xia Qiqi scratched her head, a little embarrassed, she really couldn't adapt to this kind of slavery-like system. In modern times, although there are also servants in some places, she has never hired a servant, not that she has no money, in fact, her money, if it is ranked on the Forbes list, is probably in the top dozens.
It's just that she doesn't like this system from the bottom of her heart, so she has never done it.
……
In the quiet study, a man stood with his hands in his hands, looking at a certain point in the distance, and Wei Heng and Jing Yi were standing behind him.
"Why did you close those brothels? is also making money, they are all some weak women, how many of them are forced to do this kind of profession because they have no way, you are doing this, it is tantamount to cutting off their way of survival, aren't you the emperor? Why do you want to do that? ”
Thinking of the woman's indignant look, somewhere in my heart quietly moved.
He didn't expect that as Xia Fannan's daughter, he would say such a thing!
The Xia family's power in the court has been deeply rooted, and Xia Fannan is an old fox who knows everything well, and every step he takes, he is calculating, even his sons and daughters are counted by him.
As the daughter born to his main room, how could Xia Lisheng escape his calculations, and he had already investigated that Xia Lisheng's existence was purely cultivated by Xia Fannan for him, how could a daughter of an anti-minister have such a heart to consider others, sure enough, she can still be very suspicious!
It's just that if she is always pretending, but her clean and clear eyes are unforgettable, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has also learned a lot about understanding people's inner things from the outside, so he has already mastered the true face of people, but this woman is now asking him why he wants to close the brothel, which is something that cannot be done as a daughter of an anti-minister who only has interests in her eyes!
For a while, for Xia Qiqi, Long Yuechen actually had a feeling that he couldn't see through, this feeling made him very unhappy, there was always a feeling that it would be beyond his control, he had watched people for more than ten years, and this was the first person who made him feel in the clouds!
"Jing Yi, what was that woman like before?"
Long Yuechen's voice was a little angry.
He had long known Xia Fannan's intentions, so he sent Jing Yi over very early and had been secretly investigating Xia Lisheng, but he had heard about Xia Lisheng before, but it was different from the current Xia Lisheng, which made him very puzzled.
"I don't know what the emperor is referring to......"
"Xia Lisheng!"
Long Yuechen's voice raised unconsciously.
"Oh! I have been observing her before the humiliation, and found that she is the same as other ladies, chanting poetry all day long, playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her personality is also relatively gentle, but sometimes, she will have a little temper, but this does not affect her gentle image in everyone's minds. ”
When Jing Yi said this, his heart was also beating wildly.
When he went out with the emperor today, he naturally saw Xia Lisheng's performance.
Today's Xia Lisheng is very different from the previous Xia Lisheng!
This is what he summed up. It's just that when he observed Xia Lisheng before, Xia Lisheng was not like he is today, lying and teasing, and coming in everything.
But Xia Lisheng, who has two different personalities, doesn't look like she's acting, the two personalities, no matter how you look at them, are very real, so that he is a little confused for a while, which Xia Lisheng is her true face!
"Gentle?"
Long Yuechen sneered.
"And who is that person today?"
How have you ever heard that a gentle and virtuous woman will steal other people's money bags, run to a brothel to find a woman, and even the emperor dares to refute it today!
"This ...... I don't know this lowly position! ”
Jing Yi already had a dense cold sweat on his forehead.
Today, their emperor's temper is a little big, which makes him tremble in his heart now, for fear that if he accidentally says the wrong thing, the emperor will punish him at that time.
"Don't know? Didn't I ask you to observe her before? ”
"Your Majesty, the ...... of humble duties"
Jing Yi said something good for a while, his eyes looked at Wei Heng hard, Wei Heng noticed Jing Yi's gaze, smiled helplessly, took a step forward, and said to Long Yuechen.
"Your Majesty, according to the humble opinion, this matter is not Jing Yi's fault, today is indeed the performance of this Miss Xia is a little strange, the folk have long rumored that Miss Xia Lisheng of Prime Minister Xia's family is proficient in calligraphy and painting from the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, singing and dancing poetry, hand to capture, peerless appearance, is also incomparable, but today's Miss Xia is obviously different from the past, so this is likely to be a trick!"
When Wei Heng said this, he was also beating a drum in his heart, and he didn't dare to guarantee that Long Yuechen would believe what he said, after all, if it was a trick, then this Miss Xia was really too powerful, and people who could interpret two completely different personalities to the fullest were definitely some masters in this world, but how could a woman who lived in the boudoir learn this kind of thing!
"Blindfolding......
When Long Yuechen said these three words lightly, he fell into deep contemplation again.
……
On this day, Xia Qiqi lay on the table with half a leg missing, looking at this dilapidated small courtyard.
This courtyard, after she was captured by Long Yuechen, was cleaned by her and Yangchun together.
The yard was cleaned up, but the tatters remained the same.
That Long Yuechen is also really, after arresting her back, he didn't care about her, but secretly sent a bunch of people to spy on her, she didn't care, it's just that this person is too stingy, how can she say that she is also his concubine, although she said that she was demoted to a cold concubine because that father was an anti-minister, but in the end she was still a concubine.
He didn't even care about her, and didn't let her move out of here, as soon as she stepped out of the boundary around this big courtyard, there were immediately people dressed in black who came to "invite" her back.
How did she endure it.
In her previous life, although she was bound by the organization, at least she would have the opportunity to travel the world and have her own private space.
But when she got here, not only did she not get freedom, but even if she wanted to do something, she had to take into account the secret guards lurking around her, which made her, a person who has always admired freedom, how could she not be anxious!
