Chapter 238: The Past Is Like Smoke

The emperor didn't know what his psychology was, so he didn't let others tell Xiao Tiece, but told him in person.

Xiao Tiece almost suspected that the emperor deliberately suppressed him, deceived him, and took the opportunity to see his reaction.

But when he thought that Ming Jiuniang had always been neat and tidy, never dragging mud and water, this suspicion began to waver again.

It must be because she heard that she and Song Shanshan were going to get married, so she simply left.

He was so uncomfortable that he didn't even want to ask if Ye'er had followed, and it was also because he was very sure in his heart that Ming Jiuniang would not be willing to leave Ye'er behind.

If he knew that Ye'er was still staying in Liaodong now, he would know that Ming Jiuniang was only leaving temporarily because of something.

But by mistake, he just misunderstood.

"Your Majesty," he began, "the guilty minister is willing to give up everything, and he will never assist the prince in the future, and will never enter the court as an official again, but only ask the emperor to spare the guilty minister, and let the guilty minister go to find Neiko and explain it to her." โ€

Xiao Tiece kowtowed heavily.

"Don't you blame her?" the emperor was surprised.

"This is originally the incompetence of the criminal minister, so how can she have the face to blame her? The criminal minister is just worried that she is a lone woman, and she doesn't know what will happen when she is outside. Until you make sure she's safe and sound, there's no point in dwelling on right and wrong. โ€

"If you ask the prince to confess his guilt, or report him for merit, I will let you go. "The emperor said.

Xiao Tiece was silent for a long time.

The emperor sneered: "The so-called deep love is serious, and it is nothing more than that." โ€

Xiao Tiece said: "The criminal minister doesn't want to wronged the prince to fulfill himself, if I really do that, the inner son will also look down on the criminal minister in the future." โ€

Ming Jiuniang: It's my business, I'm busy saving the Golden Eagle King, so I don't care if you and the prince fall in love or kill each other!

"Exile and escape, catch and kill. The emperor said, "You don't care about freedom yourself, don't you care about her?"

"Your Majesty," Xiao Tiece's face turned cold, "I like her, but I won't become hateful because of this." She gave birth to me, she died and I died, I can give her my life, but I can't be the kind of person she looks down on. โ€

Seeing that he couldn't shake him, the emperor waved his hand and asked people to escort him down, saying that he would give him two more days to think about it.

Xiao Tiece was in the room in the palace, watching the sunlight shine in through the open windows and lattices, leaving a mixture of light and shadow in the room, his brows frowned and fell into deep thought.

In the days when he was first brought into the palace by the emperor, he could detect birds following him.

At that time, he knew that it was Ming Jiuniang who sent a bird to inquire about him, and he felt an incomparably comfortable and satisfied feeling in his heartโ€”just like Ming Jiuniang had always been by his side.

So later, he also comforted himself, he refused the emperor's affairs with righteousness, and thought that those clever birds would also tell Ming Jiuniang.

But after hearing that Jiu Niang ran away, Xiao Tiece suddenly reacted, these days, the birds around him are almost extinct.

This discovery made him extremely uncomfortable.

The suspicion I had when I faced the emperor just now disappeared in a flash.

It must have been Ming Jiuniang who gave up on him, so those birds didn't follow him anymore...... It must be like this.

Xiao Tiece panicked.

There was only one thought in his heart, he was going back to find Ming Jiuniang!

He didn't know that because the Golden Eagle King was caught, his restraint on the birds was reduced, which caused many birds to be passive and slack off, but there were always one or two birds who came to see him from time to time.

In the evening, the eunuch brought food, although he didn't say much, but his attitude was still very polite.

After all, Xiao Tiece is the only one who can retreat under the emperor's roar.

Xiao Tiece's face was as calm as before.
