Suddenly, a look of worry flashed in Qi Moxiao's eyes, and Yu Guang glanced at Cheng Ning coldly.

Cheng Ning understood, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Yun Zhuyue, and said to Yun Zhuyue with a smile: "Princess, please rest assured, the prince will go back as soon as he goes, how can there be danger?" With his exploits in this court and his status in the court, even in front of the emperor, no one can stand him! ”

These words fell into Yun Zhuyue's ears, and she relaxed a little, and couldn't help but take a deep look at Qi Moxiao.

saw Qi Moxiao's fingertips move, obviously wanting to turn back, but in the end he didn't say anything, just walked in the direction of the palace with a tall and very silent posture.

Cheng Ning saw that Yun Zhuyue was stopped by him, so he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed behind his master.

The rhetoric just now was just used to deal with Yun Zhuyue, there was danger everywhere in this palace, and he had to follow Qi Moxiao carefully!

And something like that happened in the palace, and he was in such a hurry to recall Qi Moxiao, I was afraid that the emperor would have other plans.

However, they had just left from the gate of the mansion, and Yun Zhuyue, who had been left in the back garden by them, walked out.

I saw her gently come to the door, and after glancing meaningfully at these people, she thoughtfully withdrew her gaze from their departing backs, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

The emperor suddenly asked Qi Moxiao to go to the palace, could it be because of the prince's matter?

No, probably not, the misunderstanding of this matter has long been resolved.

Now there is only one thing that can make the emperor feel hot.

That's ......

Sinking Moon Valley.

When these three words came out of Yun Zhuyue's heart, her face sank a little.

It's just that when she stood still, she didn't chase forward.

Since there has been news from the palace that the emperor wants to see Qi Moxiao alone, it will be useless for her to follow the past at this time.

On the contrary, this kind of behavior may only anger the emperor.

No matter how hostile that person was to Qi Moxiao, she had to be cautious.

So, Yun Zhuyue retreated from the door casually, and waited quietly in his yard for Qi Moxiao to come back.

She couldn't do anything else at this time.

Who knows how many pairs of eyes are staring at them at this time?

The more critical the situation, the more they have to calm down and deal with the matter.

Not long before the Royal Palace.

Outside the palace gate, the little eunuch guarding the door saw Qi Moxiao's figure coming here from a distance, so he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Qi Moxiao: "The slave sees the prince!" ”

Saying that, he didn't go in to report, but led Qi Moxiao to walk inside: "Lord Qiqi, the emperor has been waiting for you inside for a long time, please follow the old slave in!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Qi Moxiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and then nodded to him quietly.

It's just that he is usually lazy, so this calm look at the moment does not make people suspicious.

Less acres, inside the palace.

Only the emperor sat on this huge dragon chair, but the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting around were nowhere to be seen.

It can be seen that when the emperor was waiting for Qi Moxiao to come here, he had already spent all these people.

Qi Moxiao saluted him respectfully: "The ministers see the emperor." ”

The emperor looked at the little eunuch with a faint look, and he immediately understood, so he respectfully retreated, guarding the door and not letting anyone approach.

And when the emperor saw Qi Moxiao, he also smiled slightly: "The prince doesn't need to be polite, please get up, I am looking for you this time, but there is one thing that I am quite puzzled about, maybe I can only ask you a thing or two." ”

As soon as these words came out, Qi Moxiao remained silent.

Although he stood up straight, his posture and look made it impossible to find fault in the slightest.

There are not many people who can calm down in front of the emperor, and Qi Moxiao is one of them.

Seeing that the emperor's words had just fallen, he stepped forward and came to Qi Moxiao, and glanced at him thoughtfully: "I don't know what the prince thinks of this matter in Shenyue Valley?" ”

"The matter of Shenyue Valley, the minister thinks that there are still many doubts, if they can't be clarified, it will be unfavorable to both the minister and the emperor."

The implication is that the two are currently grasshoppers on a rope, and no one thinks that anyone can pick them out.

But on the contrary, his look made people not see any disrespect.

The slender eyelashes obscured the light in his eyes, but it made it impossible to guess the look in his eyes.

After the emperor looked at him carefully, he burst out laughing, and then left in front of him, and sat back on the throne.

I saw him pat his thigh, and said to Qi Moxiao with a smile: "Okay! Then let the prince take over this matter! I thought it would be best for you to investigate the matter of Shenyue Valley! ”

Qi Moxiao's eyes sank a little.

This hot potato, he threw it into his hands, probably because he didn't want him to find out any truth in it......

Besides, who doesn't know that his princess is a native of Shenyue Valley?

Outsiders don't know, and they think that the emperor is giving them a good opportunity to do things in secret.

In fact, in this way, Qi Moxiao's every move was under the noses of the people behind the scenes.

Could it be that the emperor wants to use himself as bait?

Although it was only a moment's work, these thoughts passed clearly in Qi Moxiao's mind.

He immediately saluted and sighed: "If you can do something for the emperor, the minister will naturally go to the soup and do not hesitate, but if the minister goes to investigate the matter of Shenyue Valley, I am afraid that the ministers of the court will misunderstand that the emperor has other thoughts about the minister." ”

If this was said by another person, I am afraid that the emperor would have pulled it out and beheaded 10,000 times.

But the person standing in front of him now talking to him was none other than Qi Moxiao.

If he didn't say these words to the emperor, it would make the emperor feel strange.

After all, if he could easily get Qi Moxiao to agree, he didn't need to ask someone to go to the palace to invite Qi Moxiao over.

Yes, he smiled and said to Qi Moxiao: "Don't worry, who is involved in the matter of Shenyue Valley, you and I know it in our hearts, if you can find out, this will naturally be counted as your credit, and the people in the court will naturally be self-defeating about you." ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Qi Moxiao's face, and his voice suddenly paused: "However, if you can't find out this matter clearly, then I can't return the princess's innocence, and if I should enter the palace Shenyue Valley at that time, the people in the court will not show mercy to that place like me!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Qi Moxiao's pupils shrank sharply, and his fingers trembled instantly.

He had been thinking about the countermeasures and words of intercession in his heart, but at this moment, they were all blocked by these two faint words from the emperor.

With such a combination of grace and power like him, so that he has no way to refute and refuse, I am afraid that it is a means that he has prepared in advance.

No wonder there is no eye and ear in this place, it turns out that he just doesn't want others to hear these words.

Slowly, Qi Moxiao pursed his lips and raised his eyes to look at the emperor, and even stood straight with his slightly bent body before.

"Your Majesty, the matter of Shenyue Valley is a big matter, and it is related to the lives of hundreds of people, I don't know what the emperor's important ministers have to take over the matter of Shenyue Valley, what does it mean?"

Seeing Qi Moxiao say this, the smile on the emperor's face became a little colder, "I think I have already told you clearly enough." ”

“……”

The man standing in front of him was the king of Jiangchuan in his court, not a fool.

How can you not even understand your own words?

It's just that he wants to pretend to be stupid and stunned, looking so embarrassed, but the emperor didn't give him a chance to refuse, but still turned around and walked back to the dragon chair and sat down.

"I've made up my mind, and I won't change it again!"

As soon as the emperor's golden mouth opened, Qi Moxiao took a deep look at him, and then bowed to him and left here.

Since the two of them had no room to negotiate any further, it meant that the matter of asking him to take over Shenyue Valley had already settled.

It's just that the emperor really wants the lives of those hundreds of people to die in his own hands?

The moment he went out, the expressionless look on Qi Moxiao's face returned to the laziness he had before he came in.

On the surface, people couldn't guess what he had just talked to the emperor about, as if he just went in to greet the emperor.

Since the guards were not allowed to bring knives to meet the emperor, and the emperor said that the only person he wanted to see was Qi Moxiao, so Cheng Ning waited for Qi Moxiao to come out at the gate of the palace.

He has been with Qi Moxiao for so many years, and he is very sensitive to Qi Moxiao's emotional changes.

Seeing that the coldness in Qi Moxiao's eyes was getting deeper and deeper, almost on the verge of a seizure, he hurriedly invited Qi Moxiao into the carriage and sat down, and then poured him a cup of tea: "Lord Wang, you drink tea to dissipate your anger!" ”

Qi Moxiao took a sip of this fragrant tea, and felt that the taste of this tea was exactly the same as what he had enjoyed in the Yun Zhuyue Mansion in the past, and his mood calmed down a little, and his face gradually returned to normal.

"How can this tea be in the car?"

Hearing this, Cheng Ning replied respectfully: "Back to the prince's words, the princess just asked Green Star to send it over, saying that it can calm down and have a good effect on calming the nerves!" ”

Peace of mind?

Could it be that Yue'er already knows what he came to the palace for?

For a while, Qi Moxiao suddenly felt that this cup of tea was also a little hot, and unconsciously put the teacup back on the table, and when he turned his head to look out the window, he commanded Cheng Ning in a very low voice: "Take it away." ”

"Huh?"

Didn't this prince like to drink this cup of tea just now? How did you suddenly seem to be a different person?

He's unpredictable!

For a while, Cheng Ning shook his head a little puzzled, and then brought these tea sets down.

It's just that seeing that Qi Mo Xiao Meiyu was a little entangled, which was very different from usual, he couldn't help but ask with concern: "Lord, when you just entered the palace to meet the emperor, but the emperor is difficult for you?" ”

Although their son is not a generous person, he will never bring the emotions he received in the palace to the outside!

Not to mention, they'll be going home later.

These words fell into Qi Moxiao's ears, he snorted, and lazily lay back on the couch and sat down: "It's not a big deal, it's just that being used as a chess piece to play with, and in the end, maybe you will be beheaded!" ”

Although he didn't mention who it was in his words, Cheng Ning could guess that he was probably talking about himself.
