Chapter 40: Proceedings of the Palace
"Jiayi, you're too transparent." Vantage didn't know whether to praise or warn and said, "It's better to be confused." "People who are too smart, if they are not their own, must be eliminated.
"yes, it's hard to be confused!" Shi Yuqi didn't care too much. The ancients said that the heart of the king is unpredictable, and the companion of the king is like a tiger, but she doesn't want to care so much, she just needs to ensure that the Shi family and the Shi family army are safe and sound.
can barely be counted as the palace family, after all, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and the two families are interdependent. As for whether there are other reasons, it is unknown.
Before leaving, Shi Yuqi said a word to Emperor Hua: "Although the father and the emperor can rest assured, the sons will help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince without violating the oath." But if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince touches his father, or the survival of the Shi family, he is afraid that his sons will get out of control. Sons and daughters retire! "It's not sad or not, after all, she has never had much hope for Vantage.
Shi Yuqi returned to the princess's mansion, because she knew that Emperor Hua would send someone to follow her. If she went to anyone, she would be thought to be plotting something. In order not to cause trouble to himself and Huayuan Palace, Shi Yuqi couldn't go to Huayuan Palace's Mansion blatantly for the time being.
In order to keep the throne of the country, Vantage naturally would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one! Shi Yuqi has always believed in this.
When it was almost time, Shi Yuqi went out on the street lightly. I went around many places in circles, bought a lot of things, bought them all the way from the street to the end of the street, and finally entered Liuxiangju.
The secret guard was secretly monitoring Shi Yuqi, and Shi Yuqi had already left the secret passage, leaving Yu Ji to play her in Liuxiangju.
In the Huayuan Palace, Shi Yuqi came to the door with a gift, and the secret guard didn't know the person he was spying on, and the person who should have been under his nose appeared in another place, this place, or the Huayuan Palace, which the old emperor kept secret.
Gong Chenjiao watched Shi Yuqi walk in, and his cold eyes flashed with joy. Obviously, a certain persimmon thought that Shi Yuqi was coming to him. It's a pity that Xiao Jiao is destined to be disappointed, it's really pitiful.
Princess Huayuan naturally saw clearly what the brilliance in her son's eyes was, so she couldn't help but sigh and ask, "Why did the princess of the protector come here?" ”
"Jiayi see the princess. Don't hide it from the princess, Jiayi came suddenly this time to find the prince, and Jiayi has important things to discuss. If the princess doesn't dislike it, she will come up with ideas for Jiayi! Shi Yuqi smiled gently, secretly feeling tired. If she pretended to be so gentle every day, she felt that she could die.
"Looking for the prince?" Princess Huayuan looked at her son disappointed, and was also a little unhappy, but she also knew the priority of the matter, and when she was about to come over for dinner, Shi Yuqi was probably also in a hurry, "The prince is in the study, let's take the princess over!" When you talk about things, I won't get involved! "Princess Huayuan has always ignored King Huayuan's official affairs, because Princess Huayuan's upbringing since she was a child is male and female. King Hua Yuan didn't interfere in the backyard, and she didn't pay attention to the vestibule.
"Thank you, Princess, there is Lao Shizi." Shi Yuqi knew that King Huayuan would definitely tell the princess, so he didn't force her to go over. Maybe Princess Huayuan will be concerned when she hears what she wants to say.
Looking at the face that Xiao seemed to be looking away, Princess Huayuan couldn't help but sigh, it's all providence!
"Father, Ah Qi is looking for you." Gong Chenjiao knocked on the door, and after getting permission, pushed the door in.
"Jiayi has seen the prince." Shi Yuqi saluted one by one, his movements were free and easy, and he had the style of a soldier.
In the face of different people, it is natural to do what they like. Princess Huayuan has a soft temperament and likes gentle and gentle people, King Huayuan is a soldier, so he naturally likes people who are free and easy.
King Huayuan put down his pen and let Shi Yuqi sit casually. When the maid served tea, she asked, "Xiaoxiao is in trouble?" ”
Shi Yuqi heard him call him without seeing it, and he was not hypocritical, and smiled bitterly, "Uncle Gong is still so discerning!" ”
"Oh? Let's talk about what Uncle Gong can do to help you. King Huayuan looked at Shi Yuqi with interest. It's rare that Yuqi will come to him for help when he is in trouble, so he naturally has to understand the cause and effect of the matter.
Over the years, he has also taken care of Shi Yuqi, and he also knows that this girl has a strong temperament and refuses to accept help from others, even if she accepts it, it is accepted as a transaction.
Today, I came to Huayuan Palace, and it seems that this matter is a bit big.
Shi Yuqi did not avoid the palace dust, and said bluntly: "At the small ceremony yesterday, the emperor gave Xiaoxiao the words, presumably Uncle Gong was also surprised, right?" Shi Yuqi did not call him "Father", as for the reason, everyone knows it.
King Hua Yuan nodded, "The accident is certain, after all, the word Yi is the name of the royal family, but if you have anything to do with the royal family, most people have to avoid it, but I didn't expect the emperor to give you such a word." King Hua Yuan looked at the depression in Gong Chen's eyes and was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask.
Shi Yuqi didn't answer, but talked about what happened when he entered the palace today, "For this reason, Xiaoxiao went to the palace today, and I also asked the emperor what his intentions were." Shi Yuqi exhaled, "Uncle Gong is good to me, I naturally won't hide it from you, I'll just say it!" The emperor asked me, among the many princes, who would not care about sharing a name with me. Shi Yuqi said this, and couldn't help but be silent.
King Hua Yuan had a guess in his heart, but he hesitated and didn't say it. It's because after all, this is related to too many people, and if you guess wrong, it won't be beautiful. But Gong Chenjiao doesn't have so many scruples, and he doesn't have to be timid. Gong Chen's eyes narrowed, and he coldly spit out two words, "Prince." ”
Shi Yuqi turned his head to look at him, looking at him with an unhappy look on his lips, Shi Yuqi twitched the corners of his mouth speechlessly, but did not refute Gong Chen, and nodded lightly, "Exactly." ”
Hearing the affirmative answer, King Hua Yuan knew the cause and effect with a little thought. The two great families are big moves, but the wind blowing this time is that one's tornado, and how to survive it depends on the individual's ability.
Gong Chen's face turned black on the spot.
What does this phrase mean! What is the prince who doesn't mind sharing a name with Ah Qi!
Shi Yuqi felt cold for no reason.
The gaze of Gong Chenjiao staring at her on the other side was too obvious for her to ignore at all.
Shi Yuqi pulled the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, trying not to look at the palace dust, "The emperor told me that if the crown prince ascends to a high position in the future, he will naturally not embarrass me." But the Shi family is an absolute royalist, and it has been like this for hundreds of years, and they have never participated in partisan disputes between princes, but now the emperor wants me to help the prince seize the throne! If the crown prince ascends the throne and knows the secrets of the three clans, he will definitely have a grudge against me. At that time, the Shi family will be feared by the new monarch, and it will not only affect the 400,000 Shi family army, but also the Huayuan royal palace and the palace family army. This is the worst-case scenario, because she is not sure whether Long Yiheng will be able to maintain her original intention after reaching the high position.
After a pause, Shi Yuqi didn't know what the impact of the words behind him would have, so he lowered his voice, "The emperor is dissatisfied with the Shi family." ”
King Huayuan was shocked, if the spearhead was pointed at the Shi family, the next one would definitely be the Gong family! Although he had already guessed it, Shi Yuqi still made him a little unacceptable when he said it so bluntly.
"What do you think?" King Hua Yuan paused, and made a decision in his heart.
Shi Yuqi pursed his lips, with a serious face on his face, "When I left, I promised the emperor that I would help the crown prince without violating the oath and the interests of the Shi family." ”
This makes no difference to Shi Yuqi. Because she had been secretly helping Long Yiheng long before today.
King Hua Yuan did not comment on her choice, but said, "No matter what, protect yourself." ”
Shi Yuqi nodded, "Uncle Gong, I know that the matter is big, and you may not be able to help me much, so I just want to remind you to be careful recently." Stabilize the emperor on my side, and the emperor may make a move against Huayuan Wangfu next time. ”
"Don't worry, before you tear your face, the emperor won't be too much." King Huayuan sighed tiredly, "No wonder the world always says that the emperor is ruthless. "It's not just ruthless, ruthless people at least have hearts. Vantage didn't even have a heart.
Shi Yuqi didn't express his feelings, and after listening to King Hua Yuan's words, he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Uncle Gong, there is something I hope you can take out your hand to help Xiaoxiao." ”
King Huayuan groaned: "I have comradeship with Shi Ting, and I have the friendship of colleagues, you are his only bloodline, and I grew up watching, if you can help, Uncle Gong will naturally not refuse." King Hua Yuan didn't agree, although Shi Yuqi believed King Hua Yuan, but King Hua Yuan said this still made her feel at ease.
"Don't hide it from Uncle Gong, my mother is actually the daughter of Xiang Zheng, the former leader of the Martial Arts Alliance." Before you want to ask someone to do something, you naturally have to make it clear first.
King Huayuan showed a look of surprise at this time. There are many people with the surname Xiang in the martial arts, but there is only one martial arts alliance leader named Xiang Zheng! The old owner of Zhiyuan Villa!
"I suspect that there is something else hidden in the death of my father and mother. I was investigating this matter eleven years ago, and I am sure that this matter has nothing to do with the Shi Qing family! In the officialdom, Uncle Gong is more familiar than Xiaoxiao, and he also asked Uncle Gong to help Xiaoxiao investigate! Also, it was a year ago that the emperor promised me to kill the murderer of my parents for me, but in the past eleven years, not to mention that I have not found a single star, even Long Wei has found nothing. Shi Yuqi lowered his eyes, and his eyes were dyed with loneliness.
"What?! Shi Qing, this wolf-hearted thing! The Shi family was kind enough to adopt him, but he did this kind of thing! It's a loss of conscience! King Hua Yuan slammed the table, saying that he would definitely help in this matter, and he must be the mastermind behind the scenes! But in the end, if he was really involved, they couldn't do anything. The monarch was not unkind, even if he killed all the Shi family and the palace family, they couldn't refute it.
After the matter was discussed, the sky had already darkened, and King Huayuan asked Shi Yuqi to stay in the mansion for dinner.
