Chapter Seventy-Eight: Guessing Her Intentions
So how could the prince prepare such a gadget in advance?
"This ......"
The dark guard thought about it, but still shook his head at Yun Zhuyue hesitantly and said: "Princess Qiyu, her subordinates are only one term of the secret guard, and they have no right to ask the master's behavior, and ask the princess to forgive her sins." ”
"I see...... Okay, thank you for giving me this clay puppet. ”
Yun Zhuyue smiled at him slightly, and he knew a little bit in his heart.
"You can take this pastry and eat it, there should be no danger around here, it's important to fill your stomach first."
After handing the pastry next to us to the dark guard, Yun Zhuyue sat back in his chair and played with the clay puppet thoughtfully, always dyed with a smile on his lips and eyebrows, which seemed to have a somewhat sweet feeling.
The dark guard originally wanted to refuse, but seeing Yun Zhuyue's appearance, he was embarrassed to come forward and disturb, so he silently retreated to the side to enjoy the pastry.
It seems that following the princess out this trip is not a chore!
I just don't know what happened to the master in the palace?
At this time, the royal palace.
A few days passed, and the court gradually pointed all the spearheads at Qi Moxi.
Although the emperor called Qi Moxiao back to the court, these people didn't seem to give Qi Moxiao face, and they all tried their best to splash the dirty water of Shenyue Valley on him.
Qi Moxiao didn't bother with them, and had another thought in his heart.
On this day, after Qi Moxiao went down to court, he quickly returned to the palace and called Cheng Ning for questioning.
I saw that he was still wearing a court robe, so he looked more stern, but his already handsome facial features were even more solemn: "Have all the people sent out in the past few days been taken back?" ”
"Not yet, we haven't found any news from the Three Princes' Mansion."
Cheng Ning hurriedly walked down, and before he could salute him, when he heard the master ask himself like this, he hurriedly explained to Qi Moxiao.
But this sentence fell into Qi Moxiao's ears, but it was not good news.
Slowly, his hand holding the chair gradually tightened, and he looked at Cheng Ning thoughtfully: "It shouldn't be...... As far as this king knows, Qi Ziyu is not a calm person. ”
As he spoke, he frowned, got up from the chair again, and paced: "It stands to reason that now that everyone in the court is targeting this king, it is the best time to get rid of this king, so how can Qi Ziyu not move?" ”
When Qi Moxiao of Sanhao Street said this method, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly stepped forward to report to him: "By the way, master, my subordinates found out about something today!" ”
"What's the matter? Say it! ”
In the past few days, Qi Moxiao has been searching for evidence, wanting to prove Shenyue Valley's innocence, but since the emperor is staring at him on the bright side, he must be cautious.
But even if he sent everyone out to keep an eye on the Three Princes' Mansion, Qi Ziyu was very careful and didn't show any flaws for him to find.
In this way, the clues in his hands were gradually broken, which was not a good thing for her.
If it continues to drag on, I'm afraid that there will be no way to end the case in Shenyue Valley!
At this time, Cheng Ning quickly reported: "Qing Changzai is already dead and is secretly secreted by the emperor. Executed, maybe the emperor knew something from him! ”
"Your Majesty?"
Qi Moxiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he slowly turned the jade finger in his hand.
He was thinking in his head.
If the emperor really killed Qing Chang, it means that Qing Chang is useless to him here.
Or maybe he asked for something from Qing Chang's mouth, just like what Cheng Ning reported just now......
If the emperor really knows something, then why did he stand still, and so far he has only allowed those ministers to muddy the waters in the court?
After these thoughts flashed through his mind, Qi Moxiao shook his head and suddenly looked at Cheng Ning: "You continue to stare at the Three Princes' Mansion, this king will go to the palace to ask to see the emperor!" ”
On this day, a strong wind blew in the city.
In the palace, the chief eunuch respectfully handed the emperor a cup of hot tea: "Your Majesty, you have been tired all day today, so let's have a cup of tea and rest first!" ”
"None of my concubines are as attentive as you."
The emperor said unhurriedly, but there was a bit of fatigue between his eyebrows.
The chief eunuch smiled and didn't dare to talk.
How dare he, a eunuch, compare with those concubines in the harem? It's just that the emperor is joking with him at this time.
If he really wanted to say it himself, he couldn't.
Just remembering the person outside the door just now, he hesitated, and still reported to the emperor: "Then again, Your Majesty, the prince just asked to see him outside the door, and it is estimated that he has been standing for half an hour......
"What is he doing here?"
It was enough to beat Qi Moxiao that day, and now the emperor doesn't want to see him.
So after hearing the words of the chief eunuch, his brows furrowed again.
"This ...... The old slave is going back to the prince! ”
The chief eunuch is the most observant, and just glance at the emperor's current look, you can know what he thinks.
If he hadn't received the benefits of Qi Moxiao, he wouldn't have mentioned him to the emperor here.
After saluting respectfully, he was about to retreat, but the emperor suddenly changed his tone and stopped him and said, "Forget it, let him in." ”
Why did you suddenly change your mind?
The chief eunuch's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything, just bent down to the emperor and retreated.
Less, outside the door.
Seeing the door of the store being pushed open, Qi Moxiao stepped forward with a somewhat gentle expression: "I don't know what the emperor said?" ”
When he asked this, he handed a silver ticket to the chief eunuch.
The chief eunuch was flattered and hurriedly smiled at him: "It's just a message for the emperor, the prince is really serious this time!" ”
Having said that, he quietly accepted the silver ticket.
After getting the silver ticket, he nodded to Qi Moxiao: "Lord Wang, please go in, the emperor is waiting for you inside!" ”
Other than that, he didn't say anything else to Qi Moxi.
Qi Moxiao's eyes narrowed slightly, but he walked in with his hands behind him.
In the dormitory, when the emperor was drinking tea unhurriedly and Qi Moxiao came in, he just put the teacup back on the table.
"The ministers see the emperor!"
He respectfully saluted the emperor, but the emperor only glanced at him lightly, then returned his gaze to his fold, and asked in a salty tone: "Why did you remember to come to me suddenly?" ”
"Your Majesty, I don't know how the matter of Shenyue Valley is investigated?"
Qi Moxiao did not beat around the bush, but went straight to the point and said the purpose of this trip.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the people on the dragon chair or playing the folds changed instantly, and there seemed to be a flash of fierceness in them.
But in the midst of the changing situation, he smiled instantly.
"I didn't expect me to let you not do it, but you still want to meddle in this matter, which shows that you really care about Shenyue Valley."
These words of unknown meaning fell into Qi Moxiao's ears, but they made him look as usual.
I saw that he blessed his body slightly, and saluted the emperor again: "The minister just wants to give Yue'er an explanation, and he has to come to ask the emperor to ask, if there is any offense, please ask the emperor for forgiveness!" ”
This person has always been gentle, and he never shows any pride in front of the emperor.
But at this moment, he has repeatedly touched the emperor's bottom line for a woman.
Suddenly, the atmosphere gradually sank.
The emperor glanced at him thoughtfully, and his fingers with some wrinkles gradually tapped on the table, and his tone was a little deep: "Whoever I let investigate this case is qualified to interrogate." ”
"Could it be that what I taught you before was taken as a deaf ear?"
"I don't dare."
The emperor is here to put pressure on himself again.
But Qi Moxiao didn't take it to heart, just lowered his eyes to him as usual and said, "I heard that Qing Chang in the palace is dead, I wonder if the emperor can know this news?" ”
"You're well-informed."
He suddenly changed the subject, and the emperor also said in passing, but did not admit it.
"The emperor never kills useful people."
Qi Moxiao said, his eyes moved, and his tone was a little sincere: "How innocent are the people of Shenyue Valley?" Qing Changzai deserves to die, but the case of Shenyue Valley has not yet been clarified, please give the emperor some more time to the minister, and give the minister two days, and the minister will definitely find evidence to clarify the grievances of Shenyue Valley! ”
Going around and around, Qi Moxiao still circled the matter back to the case of Shenyue Valley.
The emperor suddenly became a little impatient, and after rubbing his eyebrows, he closed the fold heavily and smashed it back on the table!
Smack!
The dull sound fell to the ears of the human ear, and it sounded like thunder.
Qi Moxiao's eyes flashed, but he didn't answer.
He has to wait for news from the emperor now.
Now he hasn't found anything, but it can be seen from the recent actions of the court that the emperor can't help but want to make a move on Shenyue Valley.
Besides, since this matter is related to his princess, then he can't stand idly by!
The footsteps gradually became far and near, and the emperor walked down the stairs, staring at Qi Moxiao for a moment with a pair of sharp eyes: "I really don't know whether to say that you are infatuated or that you are stupid!" ”
If ordinary people listened to the words that the emperor said before, they would know that he was suppressed in his heart, and he would not dare to continue to talk to him about the affairs of Shenyue Valley.
But this Qi Moxiao knowingly committed a crime, and he continued to talk to him, trying to beg for mercy for Shenyue Valley.
Think about what a peerless person Qi Moxiao was in the past?
Now he has made such a major change because of a woman, which makes the emperor's gaze on him a little stranger: "Do you think it's worth it to offend me for a woman?" ”
"The minister doesn't dare, please calm the emperor's anger!"
I saw Qi Moxiao kneeling on one knee and lowering his eyes slightly, making it impossible to see the look in his eyes.
But although his tone was deliberately tinged with a little fear and hesitation, the emperor could tell that he didn't take his words to heart at the moment.
But if he really did something to this person, the emperor couldn't bear it.
So, he frowned and scolded Qi Moxiao: "Hurry up and go back to your palace!" I don't need you to go to court these days! Let's spill all that yellow soup out of your head first! ”
He was disgusted that Qi Moxiao's mind was not clear.
