Chapter 21: Tools Only

"It's really a big breath, I originally thought that Lao Qi's brain had improved, but I didn't expect to be a fool after all."

The four princes looked at each other with a sneering look on their faces.

He did this series of things very carefully, leaving no clue.

Zhao Tianxiang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is still his cronies, and he is completely tied to himself in this matter, and it is impossible for him to betray himself.

Trying to find out the clues in a day is like a dream.

The prince next to him also looked incredulous, he looked at Zhou Yang and thought that Zhou Yang was starting to be stupid again, and was about to speak for Zhou Yang.

However, Emperor Deyuan raised his eyelids, looked at Zhou Yang in front of him, and said lightly.

"Okay, since Lao Qi is so confident, then I will give you a day tomorrow, if there is no clue by the time of tomorrow night, then you can pack up your things overnight and go to Qindi."

After speaking, Emperor Deyuan glared at Zhou Yang fiercely, then turned around and left the imperial study.

It is obvious that Emperor Deyuan is very dissatisfied with Zhou Yang's limelight.

The emperor himself has been talking for three days, but he didn't expect this kid to come out and say that it would be okay for one day.

It is clearly a challenge to the authority of the emperor.

Seeing Zhou Yang's words, he actually made Emperor Deyuan angry and left, which made the four princes happy.

"Old Seven, why didn't I find out that you were stunned to such an extent before, even your father can be angry with you, you can be regarded as a little capable."

The fourth prince walked to Zhou Yang's side, reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"Then the royal brother will prepare to see you off tomorrow night."

"When the time comes, you must hold a beautiful practice banquet for the fourth child, Qindi is a bitter cold place, and you will suffer when you get there!"

As he spoke, the four princes let out a laughing sound and left the imperial study with the people around him.

The others also looked at Zhou Yang with a sigh on their faces, and then left one after another.

Even the crown prince sighed heavily.

I spent so much effort arguing with the four princes with a red face and a thick neck, just to buy time for Zhou Yang.

didn't expect this guy to really be muddy and couldn't support the wall, and he didn't know how to cherish the opportunity he finally won.

Everyone left, leaving Zhou Yang alone in the imperial study.

He just stood straight and looked at the empty dragon chair in front of him.

In his heart, he secretly remembered the things that had happened to him before.

"Father, you are really calculating!"

"Our mother and son have always been nothing more than tools in your eyes, and they have become victims of the training of the crown prince and the four princes."

"In that case, I'm going to give you a big surprise."

"One day, you will regret what you did today."

Although Zhou Yang thought so in his heart, he didn't show any abnormality on his face.

After standing twice in front of the dragon chair, he raised his hand at the dragon, bowed respectfully, and then turned and left the imperial study.

After Zhou Yang left, a small eunuch also appeared in the corner behind the Yushu room.

glanced at Zhou Yang's back, and then turned around and walked towards the harem.

In one of the palaces of the harem, Emperor Deyuan was lying on a soft couch.

A young palace maid was gently pinching his shoulders and beating his back.

In front of him knelt the little eunuch just now.

"Didn't Lao Qi have any unusual reaction just now?"

Emperor Deyuan closed his eyes and enjoyed the service of his concubine, and said as if talking to himself.

"Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince really didn't behave in any way just now, and when he left, he also bowed respectfully to the dragon chair."

"Looking at the appearance of the Seventh Prince, he has great respect for His Majesty's majesty, and there is nothing suspicious."

The little eunuch whispered.

He told everything that happened in the imperial study after Emperor Deyuan left just now.

Even the expressions on everyone's faces, the eyes are very careful.

"Okay, in that case, then you are responsible for keeping an eye on Lao Qi, and report any movement at any time."

"Slaves obey!"

After answering, the little eunuch also retreated lightly.

After the little eunuch left, Emperor Deyuan said as if talking to himself.

"Lao Qi's performance during this period of time is really impressive, but it's a pity that Concubine Xian ......"

"Otherwise, you can cultivate it well, and maybe you will have the opportunity to participate in the competition for this big position."

Saying that, Emperor Deyuan finally shook his head gently.

It seems that in his mind, Zhou Yang is no longer qualified to participate in the game of competition for the throne.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, Zhou Yang got up early.

No matter what the outcome of the next case is, but his own ending has been decided.

That is, after the end of this case, he will eventually be assigned to Qindi.

So I don't have much time left for myself, and I have to prepare well before that.

"How's the guy who got you going?"

While washing, Zhou Yang asked Zhao Wuyang, who was waiting on the side.

"According to His Highness's orders, a group of credible people have been screened, just waiting for His Highness's arrangement."

Hearing Zhao Wuyang's answer, Zhou Yang nodded with satisfaction.

"Then go and see, for a long time in the future, it will be impossible for this palace to return to this capital, and things in the capital can only rely on these people."

After cleaning up, the two changed into inconspicuous clothes, took two guards, set up a carriage, and headed for a remote courtyard in the capital.

When I entered this courtyard, it was full of dozens of people.

These people are men and women, old and young.

The oldest is in his sixties, and the youngest is only in his teens.

There are half-grown children, there are also men in the prime of life, young and beautiful young women, and old people who have gray hair.

Seeing Zhou Yang come in, these people saluted in unison and shouted respectfully.

"I've seen the Seventh Highness!"

The people in front of him all came to the capital from Qin with their mother concubine.

It's just that after his mother concubine entered the palace, she placed these people in various parts of the capital, and they settled in the capital and had children.

Originally, they could live their lives as plain as ordinary people.

However, the sudden assassination of Concubine Xian disrupted the lives of these people all of a sudden.

For so many years, Concubine Xian's life in the palace has not been satisfactory, but despite this, he has not forgotten these mother's families who followed him all the way to the capital.

often send people to support these people, even if their lives are not easy, they also do their best to help these people.
