Chapter 86: Arriving in the capital
"In this way, the prime minister will definitely use his hands and feet when a foreign country visits Beijing to destroy the relationship between the foreign country and us," Xiao Ji's eyes were more contemplative.
That being said, this is a long time, and it is possible for the prime minister to make trouble at any step, and they can't prevent it at all.
"Well," Xiao Zhenheng nodded, "But I believe that the emperor has also received the news now, and he is playing tricks with the prime minister." ”
"In this case, the prime minister has no time to take care of us?" Cheng Shuiyao's eyes lit up and she thought about this matter from another direction.
"Not necessarily," Xiao Zhenheng shook his head, "The prime minister is a very thoughtful person, and he will not ignore our existence, but compared to us, the affairs of the ministers are more important, so the attention on us may be relatively reduced." ”
This......
Cheng Shuiyao was refuted by Xiao Zhenheng, and after thinking about it along Xiao Zhenheng's train of thought, he realized that what he said was right.
"But no matter what, we can't delay any longer," Nie Yuanheng spoke, directly clamping the horse's belly, and once again increasing his speed.
Now that the arrangements of the prime minister and the royal family have begun, if they do not return to Beijing, they may miss a lot of important things.
The other two naturally guessed Xiao Ji's thoughts, did not complain at all, and followed Xiao Ji all the way back to Beijing.
However, because there was enough fake news before, the prime minister's side kept one step behind them, and they arrived in the capital smoothly all the way.
The Xiao Mansion has been sealed, so the three of them can only temporarily settle in a small mansion that is not known to outsiders.
Fortunately, it's cleaned every day, so it's not too difficult to live in now.
"What's next?" Cheng Shuiyao hurriedly washed up, and couldn't take a break, so she directly pulled Xiao Ji and began to discuss countermeasures.
"Of course, it's going to form a three-legged situation." Xiao Ji dried the letter he had just written and handed it to Cheng Shuiyao.
The content on this paper is simple, but extraordinarily public.
Cheng Shuiyao glanced at it, and the expression on her face suddenly became surprised, "Are you crazy?" You're still in exile, isn't it a little inappropriate to tell the emperor that you're back? ”
"What's wrong?" Xiao Ji asked rhetorically, and stood up leisurely, "We have all found out, my father's matter is pushed by the prime minister behind his back, and it has nothing to do with the emperor who actually ordered it, so it can be seen that the emperor has not intended to kill my Xiao family for the time being, so he probably won't pay attention to my return to Beijing, and besides, the emperor is now fighting against Cheng, and I give him this letter, which can be regarded as a surrender to him, and the emperor will not ignore the help of our Xiao family." ”
"What if it ......" Cheng Shuiyao hesitated for a moment, stared at Xiao Ji's expression, and considered speaking, "What if the emperor wants to get rid of the Xiao family first, and then deal with the prime minister wholeheartedly?" ”
"Don't worry," the Xiao family glanced at Cheng Shuiyao with confidence, "I have my own way to force the emperor not to move us for the time being." ”
Cheng Shuiyao frowned when she heard this, and she always felt that there was something she didn't know.
But although he couldn't figure it out, Cheng Shuiyao still recognized Xiao Ji's idea, and he sent someone to send the letter to the emperor.
In the palace, the eunuch carefully presented a letter. 、
"Who sent this?" The emperor glanced at the letter, and only thought it was the news sent back by the spies he had sent out, and asked a question in a routine manner.
"Returning to the Holy Lord, yes...... General Xiao Xiao. The eunuch swallowed, but did not dare to hide anything.
"General Xiaoxiao?" When the emperor heard this title, he was subconsciously stunned for a moment, and then he realized who the eunuch was talking about, and hurriedly spoke, "Xiao Ji sent it?" ”
"Exactly," the eunuch nodded, not daring to say more than half a word.
"How dare this kid send a letter to me?" The emperor was a little surprised, and hurriedly opened the letter and looked at it, only to see four big characters written on the paper in a particularly heroic manner.
I am back.
This......
The emperor looked at this word, and he was almost angry.
"Watch out for the dragon!" The eunuch hurriedly ran over to smooth the emperor's breath, with some worry in his eyes.
"This kid is in the capital now," the emperor relieved himself and gritted his teeth, "you hurry up and send someone to find him, I want to see what this kid is going to do!" ”
"Yes!" Seeing that the emperor had nothing to do, the eunuch did not dare to say anything more, and left the hall in a hurry.
"Xiao Zhenheng, Xiao Ji ......" The emperor silently recited the two names, his mood gradually calmed down, and he began to think about the Xiao family's intention to return to Beijing.
Now it is an eventful autumn, Xiao Ji does not hesitate to risk cutting off his head to come back, what is his intention?
Could it be ......
The Emperor had a guess in his heart, sighed, and returned his attention to the recital in front of him.
In the small mansion where everyone in the Xiao family stayed, Cheng Shuiyao and Xiao Ji were lying in the courtyard basking in the sun, but they suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Here we are," the two opened their eyes and looked at each other.
Xiao Ji got up delicately and opened the door, and was not surprised to see Gonggong Chen in civilian clothes.
This person can be regarded as an old minister by the emperor's side, and he is responsible for many important things on weekdays.
"General Xiaoxiao, you must know what the miscellaneous family is doing here, the miscellaneous family won't say much, the carriage has already parked at the door, please," Gonggong Chen smiled, making it impossible to recognize his feelings.
"Yes," Xiao Ji nodded, gave Cheng Shuiyao a look, and then followed Gonggong Chen away.
Gonggong Chen glanced at Cheng Shuiyao, and had already made up his mind about her identity.
When Xiao Ji was exiled, he brought his newlywed wife, and although he was in the palace, he had also heard of it.
However, looking at the current situation, Xiao Ji is very attentive to his wife, otherwise how could he take the risk of bringing a woman to the capital?
Gathering his mind, Gonggong Chen put on a smile again, raised his hand to help Nie Yuanheng sit down in the carriage.
The coachman did not dare to stay for a moment, and drove directly in the direction of the palace.
Cheng Shuiyao cautiously closed the door and gestured to Xiao Zhenheng in the room.
Things are going according to Xiao Ji's plan, and the rest of the things will depend on the game between Xiao Ji and the emperor.
Cheng Shuiyao blinked slightly, lay back on the recliner, and continued to enjoy the daylight.
In the palace, Xiao Ji entered the Heart Cultivation Hall with ease, and saw the emperor sitting on a high position at a glance.
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live," Xiao Ji saluted meticulously, and his movements were smooth, without the slightest mistake.
The emperor didn't even give him a look, he was still staring at the twists and turns in front of him, as if he didn't know that there was another person here.
