Chapter VI Stratagem
It was half an hour before the returnees of those who had gone to report the report.
After Xiao Qi entered the palace, he first went to His Majesty's bedroom, and as before, he could only kowtow through the screen to say goodbye. After asking the imperial doctor a few words, he went to the East Palace.
The East Palace was brightly lit at this time, I don't know if it was to wait for him, or if I had just met some important person.
After Xiao Qi entered the hall, he knelt on the ground and saluted, "Brother see His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
The crown prince Xiao Tingxu is two years old, he looks like a father or a mother, and he follows his mother's uncle, with thick eyebrows and a broad face, and is a little rough. When he saw the person coming, he put the hand holding his forehead back on the desk. He said coldly: "King Qi, what happened to entering the palace late at night?" ”
didn't let Xiao Qi get up, he could only straighten his back and come slowly, "The younger brother went to visit Lord Zaifu Du who was sick today, and found a suspicious person near Qufu, who wanted to be captured and tortured alive, but who knew that the person knew that he was invincible and stubbornly resisted, and finally bit his tongue and committed suicide. After the search, it was found that it was the Zhenbei Army! The younger brother felt that the matter was very important, and he came to report it! ”
Xiao Ting's eyes were instantly sharp when he heard this, "Did he say anything?" ”
Xiao Qi shook his head: "No!" ”
Xiao Ting seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and scolded: "It must be the remnants of the rebellious ministers and thieves, where is the corpse now?" ”
"The prison of the Criminal Department, the younger brother is afraid of negligence, so he has been handed over to the Criminal Department!"
The Criminal Department is now under the jurisdiction of Xu Qi, Xiao Ting nodded, and motioned for Xiao Qi to get up.
"Your Highness, in addition, Sui Feng also heard from the city defense that there are always people who have been born into the city recently, although the investigation is correct, but these people will go to one place, which makes people have to be suspicious!"
Xu didn't expect that there would be something to do, and his face was a little impatient, "Do you still need to mention this kind of trivial matter to this palace?" If you think it's suspicious, you will be arrested and interrogated strictly! ”
Xiao Qi rubbed his hands together and said respectfully, "Your Highness, don't be annoyed, it's just that that place is really special, and it shouldn't be like this, for fear of causing panic." Moreover, the younger brother also came to ask for sin today! ”
As soon as he heard Xiao Qi say that he was guilty, Xiao Ting raised his eyes, as if he was interested, "What is the crime?" ”
"The younger brother is good at making an advocacy and brought Qu Lanyue back to the mansion!"
After Xiao Qi finished speaking, there seemed to be a sudden silence, and even the attendants beside the prince paused, waiting for the prince to be angry.
Sure enough, Xiao Ting's face was gloomy when he heard this, and he raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "King Qi, is this going to be against the queen mother?" ”
"Brother Huang is wrong! This move is just a delaying tactic! Recently, there are always people in the DPRK and China, and this is a critical moment in front of us, and we must not cause any more troubles! Xiao Qi twisted his eyebrows and said eloquently, but he really wanted to be plotting for Xiao Ting.
Xiao Ting sneered lightly, "I'm afraid that the emperor's brother is not for his own selfish desires?" ”
"The younger brother knows that this matter will definitely cause suspicion among the royal brother and the queen mother, but after thinking about it, the younger brother still thinks that this move is a both! In the Fuchun Courtyard, the people coming and going were chaotic, and it was always bad to arrest and interrogate, which caused panic in the hearts of the people. You and I both know it's bait, but if there are too many fish in the fish pond, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to catch the one we want! Speaking of which, Xiao Ting's exquisite look was calm and composed.
"In this way, it's the heart of the villain of this palace!" The corners of Xiao Ting's mouth twitched, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
"Tell me about it!"
Xiao Qi told him what he was thinking, and he didn't know who the details were, what they heard was that King Qi was drunk and guilty, and he even interceded for the guilty ministers, which angered the queen and fined him thirty rods to go back to the house to think about it.
Xiao Qi's intercession for the minister and the beating spread in the palace not long after, Xiao Qi's mother panicked when she heard it, and came to intercede for Xiao Qi crying. looked at Xiao Qi, who was beaten so much that he couldn't get up, crying and shouting, unorthodox, and the queen scolded him back to his palace to think about it, and he couldn't make a decision.
Everyone dispersed, and a person walked out of the main hall of the East Palace, "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think?" ”
Xiao Ting sneered, with fierceness in his eyes: "This palace is thinking about how to get rid of him, since that's it, let him live for a few more days!" ”
When Xiao Qi was carried back to King Qi's mansion, it was already dawn, and Xu Ling'er here learned that Qu Lanyue had been taken to the mansion and was about to trouble her, when she suddenly heard that Xiao Qi was scolded by the queen's staff, she suddenly looked like a rootless driftwood, without direction.
As soon as he saw Xiao Qi, he cried beside him and wiped away his tears, "Lord Wang, you are confused!" ”
Xiao Qi comforted her, "Don't worry, this king is fine!" ”
