Chapter 228: The Knife
Even with it, in the end, the emperor was shocked.
Even though the prime minister had immediately asked people to stop Qi Moxiao and his party, no one really dared to do anything with Qi Moxiao and them.
After all, although those people are wearing night clothes, they don't look like good people, but they look like they are really hard to mess with.
All of them are so strong in martial arts, can they come back alive if they go up half-hanging?
With such thoughts, none of them dared to move on.
Qi Moxiao asked Cheng Ning to take people to rob a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, anyway, these things were not obtained by the prime minister through formal means, and Qi Moxiao just helped him manage them.
Besides, after these things are in his bag, they can still benefit his army, so why not?
Seeing that everyone didn't rest well because of this fire, and even the emperor was going to bring someone over soon, Qi Moxiao hooked his lips and smiled, whistled, and quickly left with his own people, leaving no traces or clues.
Even if these people wanted to kill him at this time, they still couldn't do anything about him.
Qi Moxiao didn't care about the behavior of these people at all, but when he returned to the palace with these things, he had a smile on his face from beginning to end, and he didn't feel wronged at all.
Today, since the emperor dared to let Zuo Cheng do something to his wife, he would not mention that Yue'er spared these bastards.
With this thought in his heart, when Yun Zhuyue was about to go to sleep, Qi Moxiao finally returned to the room.
Yun Zhuyue waited for him all night, and when he saw that Qi Moxiao had finally returned, he was relieved, but he couldn't help but step forward to look at him, frowning, and said, "Where did you go?" Why do you sweat on your body? β
Qi Moxiao usually loves to be clean, and he looks refreshing at all times, and it is rare to sweat like this and smile so happily.
Qi Moxiao winked at her and made a playful gesture: "Speaking of which, this king got a lot of good things tonight, do you want to come and take a look?" β
Yun Zhuyue has always been interested in jewelry and the like, because they can be exchanged for silver.
Besides, after staying in the palace for a long time, she has seen a lot of good things, and over time, she has also exercised her clothes and has a sharp eye.
When Jian Qi Moxiao said this, he knew that he must have something good in his hands!
Suddenly, Yun Zhuyue's eyes lit up slightly, and he couldn't help but look at him: "Where is it?" Take me to see it! β
Qi Moxiao raised his eyebrows, and instead of going out with Yun Zhuyue, he snapped his fingers, and in the next second, the secret guards hidden outside came in with the treasures they had snatched back.
When Yun Zhuyue saw this scene, he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly asked him: "Lord Wang, where did all these treasures come from?" β
It's not easy to get these things!
At the very least, the back and forth won't be home so quickly.
Could it be that Qi Moxiao was outside tonight, and he was busy all night?
After this thought popped into his head, Yun Zhuyue felt more and more that he had guessed correctly.
However, although I don't know where Qi Moxiao got so many jewels back, these things are very valuable, even if all the previous stores are lost, with these things, they are enough for a lifetime!
Suddenly, Yun Zhuyue's eyes flashed with golden light, and for the first time, she saw the color of greed in her eyes.
Qi Moxiao pursed his lips and smiled, nodded to Cheng Ning, and Cheng Ning retreated with all those secret guards.
As soon as they left, Qi Moxiao told Yun Zhuyue what happened tonight.
However, when he said this, he didn't tell Yun Zhuyue why he wanted to burn the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time.
Although Yun Zhuyue didn't guess, he knew that Qi Moxiao was for his own good, so he was content.
Therefore, tonight, Yun Zhuyue was not very angry about Qi Moxiao not coming back to eat the food he cooked.
While praising Qi Moxiao, a great hero, he said: "Hmph, these guys bully the soft and are afraid of the hard, and they usually don't know how much people's fat and ointment they have looted, but it just so happens that these things are taken back this time, and the prince will use them in the future, and they will just benefit those people!" β
Although Yun Zhuyue usually does not participate in the affairs of the court, she can see what kind of situation is in the court better than anyone else, and she will not be naΓ―ve to think that Qi Moxiao is really a thief.
On the contrary, the person in the entire court who may believe in Qi Moxiao the most is her.
Seeing Yun Zhuyue talking to himself so firmly, Rao is Qi Moxiao couldn't help but nod to Yun Zhuyue at this time, with some emotion in his eyes.
Immediately, he pursed his lips, stepped forward with a solemn expression and said to Yun Zhuyue: "Yue'er, I showed you these things today, just to make you feel at ease, in addition, this king also wants to tell you that there are many people who covet you outside now, so you must be careful, don't look for those people's ways!" β
Qi Moxiao cares about Yun Zhuyue, and Yun Zhuyue knows this.
Therefore, she didn't dislike Qi Mo Xiao's verbosity, but nodded sweetly to Nan Zhu: "Mmmm, I know!" β
Qi Moxiao breathed a sigh of relief slightly, talked to Yun Zhuyue for a while, and then prepared to rest.
However, tonight seems destined to be less peaceful.
Although the palace and the prime minister's mansion were a little restless because of the fire he set off, something bad happened in the palace.
"Oh no! Something happened to Aunt Xue! β
Just as Qi Moxiao and Yun were sleeping in their clothes and preparing to go to bed, a strange little maid suddenly rushed in from outside, and hurriedly said this to Qi Moxiao, with a very worried look in her words.
But after seeing the appearance of this little maid, Yun Zhuyue can be sure that she has indeed not seen this maid much.
However, this maid can enter her yard so easily, which shows that this person does have some ability.
For a while, Yun Zhuyue's eyes narrowed slightly, stared at her thoughtfully for a moment, then got up and glanced at her, and said unhurriedly: "What is something to say slowly, what is the hurry?" β
She could see this person clearly, although the candlelight was a little dim, but it was certain that she was indeed not from her own yard.
Otherwise, such a reckless person would have been left by Green Star a long time ago.
Moreover, Yun Zhuyue is not used to having strangers in his yard to serve him, even if he keeps vigil every night, he always asks Green Star to accompany him, but it has been so long since things happened, why haven't he seen Green Star yet?
With a look of doubt in her eyes, she looked up at the door.
But when he saw Green Star hurriedly walked in, he saw the little maid at a glance, and immediately stepped forward angrily to drag her out: "You Nizi really don't listen!" I said it all, the prince and the princess have rested, since Aunt Xue is not feeling well, go to the doctor, what's the use of you howling here?! β
There was a little anger in these words, it seems that this little girl just lived up to Green Star's kindness, and she also broke in rashly, causing her dereliction of duty, so Green Star was very angry with this little girl, and her face was not so good-looking.
Yun Zhuyue listened to what she said, and before she could say anything, the little maid was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to them: "Please let the prince and princess save my aunt!" My aunt has been having a fever since yesterday, and she's dying! β
She cried as she spoke, and it didn't seem like it was fake.
But, Aunt Xue?
It was the one who raised pigeons to send messages before, and Yun Zhuyue never cared much about her, because she was ready to wait for Qi Moxiao to deal with it.
It's just that I didn't expect that woman to die so soon!
Was it an accident, or was someone doing it?
In an instant, there was no sleepiness in his eyes, Yun Zhuyue frowned, turned his head to look at Qi Moxiao, and asked, "Lord Wang, this matter ......?"
Qi Moxiao was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect this to happen, and after hearing that the concubine in the woman's mouth was Aunt Xue, he shook his head and said to the maidservant: "It's useless to call this king and the princess over, it's better to take the king's token and ask for the imperial doctor." β
As he spoke, he generously gave his token to the maidservant.
The little maid was taken aback, she didn't seem to expect Qi Moxiao to be so generous, but after really looking at the token in her hand, she realized that everything that happened in front of her was true.
Suddenly, she pursed her lips, she didn't dare to stay here, but nodded to them, and when she left, she still had tears in her eyes, she didn't look pitiful, and said to Qi Moxiao as if she turned around three times: "Lord Wang, my master has been talking about you, if you are free, let's go see her tomorrow!" β
Aunt Xue has always been obedient in the house, otherwise Yun Zhuyue would not have kept her for so long, but this time something like this happened, which really made Yun Zhuyue a little sleepy.
After the maidservant girl left, Yun Zhuyue was still a little uneasy, and quietly called Green Star and instructed: "Take a look and see if Aunt Xue is really not good, or is it fake." β
Not long ago, a Luo Qiaoyan died in the palace, if another concubine died at this time, it was obvious that someone did it on purpose, and it was definitely not as simple as a coincidence.
Moreover, when Luo Qiaoyan died before, her suspicions had not been cleared.
If you continue to be in the limelight at this time, I am afraid that those people outside will inevitably say some rumors about yourself.
The most important thing is that the emperor and the queen are now thinking about how to deal with themselves, and they will definitely not let go of this good opportunity.
Knowing all this in his heart, Yun Zhuyue did not continue to entangle, but tried to let himself fall asleep.
Fortunately, Qi Moxiao was by her side, her arm resting on her head, soft, and exuding a good smell, and after a while, Yun Zhuyue fell asleep deeply.
After she fell asleep, Qi Moxiao glanced thoughtfully at the direction where Aunt Xue was, and a dark glint flashed in her eyes.
