Chapter 181: You Threaten This King?
Although the lord of the six palaces is the queen, he is the emperor in the real sense.
Seeing that the queen and Concubine Lian had been fighting for many years, he knew what kind of atmosphere the harem was like.
Concubine Xian, who had been neglected for many years, regained her grace, and many people's red eyes were naturally indispensable.
Openly and secretly will sneer at Concubine Xian.
The emperor knew it, but Concubine Xian didn't say it.
The Emperor just liked her.
He grabbed Concubine Lian's hand, picked up a book and handed it to her, saying, "The seventh man has just come, and today he took office for the first time, and he found such important evidenceββ"
The Seventh Prince has now been crowned king, but in the emperor's heart, he has always been the sick man who does not know the world.
Thinking that the third prince and the fourth prince have been fighting for many years, they have never caught any handle from the fourth prince.
As soon as the Seventh Prince took office, he found such important evidence by mistake.
While the emperor was disappointed in the four princes and the three princes, he couldn't help but glance at the seven princes again.
Concubine Xian hurriedly rejected the book, and retreated in fear: "Your Majesty, forgive the concubine for being clumsy, it's okay to do needlework, if you want to say that you look at the book, the concubine also asks Your Majesty to be gracious and spare the concubine." β
The emperor's slightly narrowed eyes gradually became stained with a smile.
asked Concubine Xian to see if the performance was fake, but in fact, the temptation was real.
He also wanted to know whether Lao Qi's luck was a coincidence or premeditated.
Seeing Concubine Xian kneeling on the ground in panic, the emperor dispelled his last doubts, and got up with a smile to help Concubine Xian, "Why are you so nervous?" That's it, I won't force you anymore, go back and see if the autumn pear paste is stewed, I will go to Xian Yinxuan after I solve this matter. β
"Yes."
Concubine Xian respectfully blessed her body and walked out of the imperial study.
Before leaving, Gonggong Su did not forget to thank Concubine Xian, thanks to Concubine Xian, the emperor's anger subsided in an instant.
Concubine Xian walked out of the imperial study, and her hurried pace gradually slowed down, she stood still in place and exhaled a few breaths, before she looked back at the direction of the imperial study from afar-
β¦β¦
The Great Elder bowed down to King Duan in fear, "Your Highness, forgive the old woman for being stupid, since yesterday, the Guogong Mansion has been constantly looking for the old woman, and now His Royal Highness is looking for the old woman again, dare to ask His Highness, who is Mrs. Xie?" Has the old woman ever met her? β
Duan Wang's eyes like poisonous snakes were firmly fixed on the Great Elder's old face, and what he could think of turned out that Xie Yunyan could also think of.
"Although Kyoto is not as good as the rivers and lakes, there are many masters, especially Miao Jiang's Gu art that can kidnap people in the guards of the Guogong Mansion. The Great Elder thinks, apart from the people of Miao Jiang, who else would have such ability? β
The doubt in the Great Elder's eyes deepened.
She was really puzzled.
Xie Yunyan repeatedly sent people to test the circumstances, and she never thought that King Duan would come to find someone.
But Ning Shu, she has to decide.
As long as they can return to Miao Jiang smoothly with Ning Shu, even if Qi Guo sends thousands of troops and horses to attack Miao Jiang, she will have the strength to fight a battle relying on thousands of Gu worms.
Thinking like this, the Great Elder suddenly smiled, "As the world says, the master of the Qi Kingdom is Yunyun, why does His Highness insist that it was the old woman who took away Mrs. Xie?" Not to mention that the old woman doesn't recognize Mrs. Xie, even if the old woman does, the old woman has no reason to take Mrs. Xie awayββ"
She said very reasonably, and her expression was very calm, and King Duan couldn't help but wonder if he was thinking too much.
"This king advises the great elder, don't do thankless things, if you really find out the clues by this king, this king guarantees that Miao Jiang will become a puddle of ruins in an instant!"
As he spoke, King Duan glanced at the Great Elder deeply, and then took a step to leave.
The Great Elder suddenly said, "Your Highness, please slow down." β
She came to King Duan's side and blocked King Duan's way.
"Although His Highness's deal with Miao Jiang failed, my people in Miao Jiang have indeed stayed until now because of His Highness, and even lost Miao Jiang's Supreme Treasure Sheng Luan Cao. Could it be that His Highness's original promise was not counted? β
King Duan contemptuously raised the corners of his lips, "Promise? The Great Elder also said that the deal has failed, none of you who are asked by this king have done it, and the three princes will be dead set on the Holy Maiden if they fall in love, and everything is your exaggeration. This king also lost an imperial sister, does the royal sister's dowry feel that the great elder thinks that it is less than the amount of money promised by this king? β
The Great Elder was about to leave Kyoto tomorrow, and the Great Elder had no intention of currying favor with King Duan, and said with a greedy smile: "Princess Huairou is Your Majesty's decision, and it has nothing to do with Your Highness, right?" β
"In this case, the Great Elder must pay the price for this king?"
"Buying and selling is not benevolent, as long as King Duan pays fifty percent of the silver." The Great Elder smiled slightly, and the folds on his face piled up disgusting layers.
King Duan snorted coldly, "The Great Elder can't help but think too much, since the Great Elder doesn't want to leave Kyoto, then King Ben will immediately enter the palace to show his father." β
The Great Elder shook his head with a faint smile, "Your Highness doesn't need to scare the old woman, if the old woman can't leave Kyoto tomorrow, then the people who respond outside Kyoto may not be worried, in case they say something that shouldn't be said, and tell the original deal, the old woman is worried that King Duan's good days are comingββ"
"You threaten this king?" King Duan was really laughed at, his tone was surprisingly flat, if Lian Shangshu, who knew his temperament well, was present, he must have known that this smile was a precursor to murder.
However, the Great Elder stroked the snake's head crutch disapprovingly, "If Your Highness wants to think like this, the old woman has nothing to say." The old woman just wanted to fulfill her promise! β
"Good!" King Duan looked at the Great Elder with a smile without blinking, only said the word "good", and did not wait for the Great Elder to digest the meaning of this word, then turned around and brushed his sleeves away.
The Great Elder snorted lightly and went directly to the cellar where Ning Shu was.
"Originally, I was just guessing, but now it seems that my guess should be true." Ning Shu was tied to the chair, uncomfortable, so she had to twist around and rub the rope, let her body be as close to the back of the chair as possible, and said to the Great Elder:
"Does the Great Elder have any deal with King Duan?"
The Great Elder's mood was affected by Duan Wang's ambiguous attitude, and he put on a stinky face and did not respond to Ning Shu's question, and continued to patch up the skin on her face.
Ning Shu also raised her head cooperatively, quietly watching the Great Elder's movements, her eyes bent, "Let me guess, did King Duan ask the Great Elder to control the Third Prince by Miao Jiang's means?" To help him achieve hegemony? β
The Great Elder's movements paused, and he smiled dumbly as he saw that half of Ning Shu was disguised, and the other half still maintained his original stunning appearance.
"Mrs. Xie knows no less than Miss Longshan, if it weren't for the fact that Mrs. Xie's appearance is vastly different from that of Miaojiang, the old woman would really think that Madame is a native of Miaojiang."
