Chapter 69: Being deceived
Things have come to this point, where does Qingchang dare to continue to hide it?
Naturally, she thought it was important to save her life!
Immediately, Qing Changzai closed his eyes, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and explained to the emperor crying: "These things are all ...... It's all from Grandpa Cui to his concubines! ”
She finally told the truth of the facts, but the emperor frowned.
"Who is Grandpa Cui?"
Qi Moxiao's eyes flashed, and he stepped forward to salute him respectfully: "If you want to know who Grandpa Cui is, the emperor only needs to send someone to Cuizhuxuan to check." ”
He didn't let the emperor continue to ask Qing Changzai, it can be seen that this Qing Changzai can only say this at most, and he said the rest of the things he said just now.
But who is the person behind the scenes?
was able to make Qing Chang keep a secret for him, and keep it to this point!
In an instant, a flash of anger flashed in the emperor's mind, and the emotions he finally suppressed were a little gradually fluctuating.
But at this time, it is not interesting to continue to ask Qing Changzai, he has been exposed to that just now, but Qing Changzai still refuses to tell the main messenger behind the scenes, so it can be seen that there is only so much he can say.
So he turned his head and coldly ordered the people outside the door: "Come on, go and bring Cuizhuxuan's Cui Gonggong to me!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
This was an order ordered by the emperor himself, and after the chief eunuch answered again outside, he respectfully retreated and quickly went to do this matter.
He can get into the position of the head of the emperor's side, which shows that he has some means.
Almost in less than a quarter of an hour, he came back and forth between Cuizhuxuan and the imperial study.
Big big ~
Hurried footsteps came from outside, but it was the chief eunuch who stopped at the door of the imperial study, and replied to the emperor with a somewhat panicked expression: "Your Majesty, when the servants just brought people over, they found that the Cui Gonggong ......."
"What happened to Grandpa Cui?"
Seeing her speak, the emperor's expression sank, and he asked him impatiently.
But Qi Moxiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the chief eunuch thoughtfully, and gradually had an answer in his heart.
At the same time, his gaze fell on Qing Changzai quietly, but when he saw that Qing Chang heard the news, his face really turned white!
Sure enough, it seemed to confirm Qi Moxiao's guess, and as soon as he saw the change in Qing Changzai's expression, he saw the chief eunuch at the door and said to the emperor in fear: "If you go back to the emperor, then Grandpa Cui...... Fang was found dead in the pond of Cuizhuxuan! ”
"What?"
These few words fell into the emperor's ears, and it was determined that the emperor's fingers tightened unconsciously, and his eyes quickly looked at Qing Chang next to him!
At this point, what else does he not understand?
It's clear that someone has put his hand in her harem!
And he did things so tightly step by step, so leaklessly, that he didn't even notice that he, the emperor, was unaware, which shows that the other party's scheming methods are absolutely obvious!
If the other party's purpose this time was not to come to Shenyue Valley's case, but to him, the emperor, then he still had the life to sit here and ask Qing Chang if he was there?
It's just that in an instant, these complicated and terrifying thoughts flashed from the emperor's mind.
He is already a suspicious person, not to mention that he has to guard against the people around him when he is in a high position.
Qing Chang has reached this point, but he still refuses to tell him the truth.
Immediately, the emperor's face sank and stepped forward, so he slapped her with a slap on his face, and then said to the chief eunuch behind him: "Pull him out!" Until who is the person who bribed him in the interrogation! ”
What do you say that these things are stored in his palace by his brother?
The emperor is not a fool, how can he really believe such nonsense as Qing Changzai!
And Qing Changzai didn't seem to expect the emperor to be so ruthless, and actually said that he would pull her out if he pulled him out, and he didn't even give him a chance to defend himself.
In an instant, Qing Chang hurriedly came back to his senses from the news that he had just learned of Grandpa Cui's death, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and desperately kowtowed to the emperor and begged for mercy: "Spare your life, your emperor spare your life!" Ask the emperor to spare the concubines! It is said that a husband and wife have a hundred days of grace in one night, not to mention that for the sake of the concubine who has served the emperor for so long, can't you spare the concubine this time? The concubine promised that she would never dare again in the future! ”
The chief eunuch was about to step forward to grab Qing Changzai, but when he saw Qing Changzai suddenly say these words to the emperor, he spoke so fast that it was too late for the chief eunuch to stop him.
When he caught a glimpse of the emperor's increasingly heavy look, the chief eunuch in an instant, his heart tightened, and his face turned a little pale, he hurriedly stepped forward and slapped Qing Changzai on his face, his throat was sharp, but he scolded him very coldly and harshly: "Bastard thing!" The emperor's wife, but what can you say? But after a few days in the palace, you are getting more and more out of shape! ”
Don't look at the chief eunuch who looks white and clean, but he hits people very hard, because he knows where to hit will make people most unconscious.
And this slap was loud and painful.
In an instant, Qing Chang, who was originally struggling desperately in his hands and wanted to get close to the emperor, suddenly shrank back, and wanted to break free from the hands of the chief eunuch with some fear, but he didn't know what method the chief eunuch used, so he easily restrained her and pulled her out!
"The emperor spares his life! The concubine didn't dare! The emperor spares his life! ”
The heart-rending cry for mercy came from outside, faintly falling into the emperor's ears, but it made the emperor even more irritable.
But Qi Moxiao's eyes flashed, and he didn't pay attention to the affairs of his harem, but just stepped forward respectfully, saluted the emperor, and asked: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the case about Shenyue Valley must still be a little strange, as can be seen from Qing Chang's in this matter." ”
"In order to prevent someone from turning over the case of Shenyue Valley in the future and slandering the emperor's innocence, the minister implores the emperor to let Shenyue Valley go!"
His heartfelt words were extremely sincere, and his expression was extremely respectful to the emperor.
If it weren't for him this time, I'm afraid the emperor wouldn't know that his harem had made such a big mistake.
And judging from the current situation, what makes the emperor more concerned is not the case of Shenyue Valley, but who can silently extend this hand to his harem!
This harem is the inner house of the palace, although he knows that there are some spies in it, but these eyes have always been under his supervision, and no one can avoid his eyes and act secretly behind his back.
But today's Qingchang thing seemed to give him a resounding slap in the face, shattering all the control he thought he was in on the ground!
The emperor didn't care about what Qi Moxiao said at all, and because he was thinking about other things, his expression was a little dull and complicated.
Seeing that Qi Moxiao's voice had just fallen, he raised his hand and waved at Qi Moxiao with some impatience: "Just do what you say." ”
Judging from his tone, he didn't want to bother with this matter anymore.
As soon as these words came out, a flash of joy flashed in Qi Moxiao's eyes, but his expression came and went in a hurry, so he didn't let the emperor notice it.
If he continues to stay here, the emperor will probably regret it at any time, because he knows the emperor's character too well, so Qi Moxiao did not say anything, but silently saluted him, preparing to leave here and go back to tell Yun Zhuyue the good news.
But he had just turned around to leave, but the emperor suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and raised his head faintly to stop him: "Wait, where is the prince going?" ”
The unhurried voice came from behind, and Qi Moxiao suddenly chuckled in his heart when he heard it, and turned around to look at him helplessly: "The emperor shouldn't want to regret it, right?" ”
Seeing this, the emperor suppressed the anger in his heart just now, and instead got up from the dragon chair and walked towards him: "I just said to do what you want, but I didn't say to let Shenyue Gu go. ”
He pondered for a few seconds, and then suddenly sneered, feeling the incomparably absurd around him.
At this moment, he was very unhappy in his heart because Qing Chang was in the harem and was reached in by a black hand behind the scenes.
Therefore, when he looked at Qi Moxiao, he naturally didn't want Qi Moxiao to have too much fun.
It's just that this Qi Moxiao has been bored in his heart recently, and no one knows anything better than him.
So before Qi Moxiao could say anything to the emperor, it was like the emperor had already made a preemptive move, and he was the first to open his mouth and said to him with a smile: "But don't worry, since I said that kind of thing just now, I naturally won't do anything to Shenyue Valley again." ”
As soon as these words came out, Qi Moxiao suddenly looked at him with some suspicion, and the vigilance in his heart still did not let go.
Did the emperor stop him just to say this to him?
No matter how you look at it, according to the emperor's character, this seems a little strange.
After all, how could the emperor become so reasonable overnight......
Just as Qi Moxiao was gradually thinking about countermeasures in his heart, he saw that in the next second, the emperor really said to him: "It's just that what I promised you is only temporary." ”
"If you want to save Shenyue Valley once and for all, clear your suspicions, then you'll have to find more evidence! And this matter needs to be investigated again. ”
The emperor said to Qi Moxiao with a dignified posture, but there was a fox-like sly smile in his eyes.
Although he was indeed angry just now, after calming down, he had something else in his mind.
The mastermind behind the scenes made him put pressure on Qi Moxiao by controlling Qing Changzai, and he was obviously coming at Qi Moxiao.
In other words, if the other party's plan does not succeed this time, he will use a move against Qi Moxiao!
And since the emperor is not the object of the game among the masterminds behind the scenes, why didn't he use Qi Moxiao to find out the masterminds behind the scenes?
Thinking like this in his heart, the emperor's gaze at Qi Moxiao was even more meaningful.
However, at this moment, Qi Moxiao looked at the emperor's face in front of him, and only these few words came to his mind for a while: Old fox!
But such a result is better than letting him quickly encircle and suppress Shenyue Valley during this period of time, and finally rescuing Shenyue Valley for him and clarifying his grievances!
So Qi Moxiao didn't show any rebuttal, but just bowed down respectfully to him: "Yes, the emperor, the ministers obey the order." ”
Just these words fell into the ears of the emperor, and the emperor knew that he had listened to his words.
So, he continued, "It's just bad news, I have to tell you." ”
"What?"
I thought that the emperor's temporary change of words just now was already bad news, but I didn't expect him to turn around and say such an unclear thing to himself at this time.
For a while, Qi Moxiao frowned slightly and couldn't help but look at the emperor's back......
After a while, Qi Moxiao walked out of the imperial study.
Cheng Ning was outside the palace, and when he saw Qi Moxiao's figure again, he greeted him happily, and asked a little impatiently: "How is it, master?" Is Shenyue Valley all right? Has the emperor already let go of Shenyue Valley? ”
