Chapter 17: The Beauty Scheme

And now.

Horay actually thought...

- Killing the king.

It's too daring!

"Brother Huo, I haven't been here tonight!"

Knowing that Huo Lei not only had the intention of rebellion, but also the intention of killing the king, Wang Yu did not linger for a moment, and did not even dare to be with Huo Lei, so he hurriedly shirked the responsibility and left Huo Mansion in a hurry.

Li Qi saw that Wang Yu was in a hurry, and he also left after Wang Yu.

"Hmph, two rats!!"

Seeing Wang Yu and Li Qi leave in a hurry, Huo Lei put his hands behind his back, and his face was cloudy.

Following.

Song Que just woke up.

Di Jie came to the Qianqing Palace to face the saint.

"Your Majesty, this is the confession of more than 20 officials, please read it." Dick Jie presented a thick wad of paper full of words in both hands.

Song Que took it and flipped through them one by one to watch.

After some checking, he looked at Di Jie, whose face was tired, and Song Que was puzzled:

"I remember that there were more than 30 officials who were sent to prison for encroaching on farmland, and how could they only have 20 confessions?"

"Back to the emperor."

Di Jie arched his hand and explained: "The minister interrogated thirty-three people this time, and twenty-six of them were willing to confess, and the remaining seven people, no matter how soft and hard the minister was, they refused to confess. ”

Song Que was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that among the officials who were imprisoned.

There are still hard bones.

"After a night of trial, I've worked hard for you, go back and rest early." Song Que was very satisfied with Di Jie's ability to do things: "By the way, it's not to go back to Xu Mingui's mansion, I will give you a mansion, right next door to Xu Mingui!" ”

"Thank you!!"

Di Jie's face was full of excitement, and he quickly knelt down and bowed to Song Que.

"Stand down."

Song Que waved his hand at him.

Not long after Di Jie left, several eunuchs walked into the Qianqing Palace with thick folds.

Put the fold on the dragon case, the eunuchs didn't dare to disturb, saluted Song Que, and finally retreated very interestingly, leaving only Song Que alone to review the fold.

Looking at the mountains of twists and turns on the dragon case, Song Que felt a big head for a while.

However, if he wants to take off the hat of [tyrant], he must be diligent in government affairs and deal with more state affairs.

All morning.

Song Que is carefully reviewing the folds.

In the end, it was after the eunuch An Dehai reminded him that he should have lunch, and Song Que realized that he had sat in front of the dragon case and approved the twists and turns for a morning.

Finish lunch.

According to the rules of the palace, the emperor has to [Emperor] for an hour.

Dimei.

To put it bluntly, it's a lunch break.

Song Que took off his dragon boots under the service of the palace maid, just when he was lying down, ready to close his eyes and enjoy his lunch break.

"Your Majesty, Taifu Huo Lei is asking to see you outside the palace."

An Dehai walked in and said to Song Que, who was preparing to sleep.

"What is he here for?"

Song Que sat up, a hint of confusion on his face.

Yesterday, a large number of officials were arrested and imprisoned, Huo Lei, as a generation of powerful ministers, if he wants to say that he has not received the wind, Song Que does not believe it, it stands to reason that if Huo Lei receives the news, he should close his door to avoid provoking criticism.

How could he take the initiative to come to the palace to face the saint?

Thinking of this, Song Que asked An Dehai: "Is he just coming alone?" ”

"Mrs. Huo also brought a woman with a veil this time." An Dehai replied truthfully.

Woman?

Song Que's eyes narrowed, and he smelled a hint of conspiracy.

After thinking for a moment, Song Yuan nodded and said, "Announce him to come in, by the way, the women who came with him also called in." ”

"Yes."

With Song Que's consent, An Dehai withdrew from the palace.

Not for a while.

Horay walked in with a woman.

"Chenhuo Lei, see the emperor."

As soon as Huo Lei saw Song Que, he hurriedly made the courtesy of the monarch and the minister.

"Let's be flat."

Song Que raised his hand, but his gaze fell on the veiled woman beside Huo Lei.

Seeing this, Huo Lei's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, and he was even more happy in his heart, and hurriedly introduced the woman who came with him: "Your Majesty, this woman is the goddaughter of the minister, named Yue Shan, and she has just passed this year." ”

After the introduction, Huo Lei said to Yue Shan in a deep voice:

"Shan'er, quickly kneel down and worship the emperor, you can't lose your etiquette in front of the emperor."

Yue Shan, who was wearing a veil, nodded very obediently, looked at Song Que with a pair of clear eyes, and saluted him: "Yue Shan, the daughter of the people, see the emperor." ”

"No need to be polite."

Although she couldn't see Yue Shan's appearance clearly, from her graceful figure and clear eyes, Song Que could judge that the woman's appearance was definitely not bad.

"Your Majesty."

Yue Shan slowly stood up.

The politeness has already been finished, Song Que did not forget the matter, and asked Huo Lei: "Huo Lao Aiqing, you brought your goddaughter to see me, what is the so-called matter?" ”

"The old minister came to see the emperor this time to ask the emperor for something."

"What's the matter?"

Song Que guessed Huo Lei's intentions in his heart, but he still pretended not to understand anything on his face: "It's okay to say something directly, Huo Lao Aiqing, hard work is high, as long as it is reasonable, I will be satisfied." ”

Huo Lei said: "The old minister wants to ask the emperor so that the little girl can serve you." ”

Sure enough, it's a beauty trick.

Serving left and right, that's all.

Huo Lei's actions confirmed Song Que's conjecture, but he was not in a hurry to debunk it: "Huo Lao Aiqing, I have eunuchs and palace maids by my side, if you let your goddaughter serve me again, wouldn't it be overkill?" ”

"Your Majesty, the little girl can serve you, that's her blessing, how can she be overused?"

Horay arched his hand and said.

"You don't count." Song Que vetoed Huo Lei's remarks and looked at Yue Shan, who was wearing a veil: "Let me ask you, are you willing to serve me?" ”

Facing the emperor's inquiry, Yue Shan paused for a moment, and then said: "The people's daughter is willing, and being able to serve the emperor is a blessing that the people's daughter can't cultivate in a few lifetimes." ”

Song Yi nodded and agreed, and said, "In this case, then let Yue Shan stay and serve me." ”

Hearing this, Huo Lei was overjoyed, Song Que accepted the beauty he offered, and the plan was more than half successful, and then, everything depends on the means of his daughter.

"Shan'er, quickly thank the Holy Grace."

Horay hurriedly reminded.

"Folk girl..."

Yue Shan was just about to salute, but was stopped by Song Que: "Thank you for the gift, take off the veil and show it to me." ”

Hearing that Song Que was going to take off his veil, Yue Shan seemed a little repulsed, and he didn't make a move, and Huo Lei, who was beside him, saw this situation, his eyes were fierce, and he said in a deep voice:

"The emperor asked you to take off your veil, didn't you hear?"

Huo Lei's vicious words shocked Yue Shan's delicate body, and she hesitated slightly, but finally took off her veil and took off her veil.

With the veil removed.

Yue Shan's heavenly appearance appeared in front of Song Que.

Deep eye sockets, high nose bridge, clear eyes, long and thick eyelashes, full of exotic style, different from the elegant beauty of a woman in the Central Plains, Yue Shan's beauty has a kind of wildness and aggression.

"You're a woman from the Western Regions?"

From Yue Shan's facial features, Song Que could see at a glance that the other party was not from the Central Plains.
