Chapter 137: Listening to the root of the wall is risky
The Nine Emperor Princes rode their horses and staggered by the carriage.
He resisted the urge to look back several times, but he was keenly aware that there was a line of sight that had been nailed to his back.
This was the second time he had heard that Liu Zhan might be using his own banner to persuade King Jing.
But he really couldn't figure out what kind of entanglement there could be in addition to the fact that King Jing and his mother were both from the previous dynasty.
can even make a king with a different surname who has the ambition of recovering the previous dynasty willing to let go of his hidden far-reaching plans and be willing to succumb to Liu Zhan.
He also charged for him and put down rebellions large and small.
Once the seeds of doubt are planted in the heart, they can't help but take root and sprout and grow wildly.
Qiao Wanshu originally thought that the Nine Emperor Princes would take her somewhere to investigate the case.
Unexpectedly, the carriage was round, and he actually went back to the palace directly.
"Imperial Palace, do you want to go back now?"
Qiao Wanshu stretched out her little hand and pointed out the window.
The thought of returning to that lifeless palace so soon made her feel depressed.
"Well, I'm going back to deal with some things, and if you feel bored, I'll find more people to play with you."
The Nine Emperors also felt a little apologetic.
But he still has business to deal with, and he really can't keep accommodating Qiao Wanshu's thoughts.
Qiao Wanshu understood this.
After all, the Nine Emperor Princes are ambitious people now.
And he's surrounded by wolves, and his situation is nowhere near as good as it seems now.
So most of the time you have to plan for him, which is normal.
Seeing that Qiao Wanshu didn't speak, she just turned her eyes to the window again, looking very well-behaved and lovely.
The guilt in the heart of the Nine Emperor Princes suddenly came to their heads.
"Or ...... I'll take you to the West Market first, see what fun and delicious food, buy some back? ”
Qiao Wanshu's eyes lit up, but then she shook her head and said, "Don't, go back." I want to go see Flowey. ”
Although she also wanted to go to Xishi to play, when she thought of the absent-mindedness of the people who accompanied her, and she couldn't wait to go back to the palace to deal with official business, she had no interest.
If you want to play, just play well, play to your heart's content.
There is always someone staring and secretly urging, which will make people feel disappointed.
Seeing that she really didn't want to go, the Nine Emperor Princes didn't want to play some trick to get away with it, so after thinking about it, they gave up.
After returning to the palace, the Nine Emperor Princes immediately gathered their henchmen and went to the study to discuss matters.
Although these things are related to the crown prince's case, they still involve the privacy of the Nine Emperor Princes, so they didn't take Qiao Wanshu with them.
Seeing that the Nine Emperor Princes had settled her in the wing room in the palace, Qiao Wanshu understood, this was to let her avoid suspicion.
Pretending to be honest in the room for a while, Qiao Wanshu couldn't sit still.
She was eager to hear what the Nine Emperors and his henchmen had to say.
"Mulberry branches, go, look at the flowers!"
Qiao Wanshu casually made an excuse and asked Sang Zhi to carry her to the yard.
With the excuse of cherry blossom viewing, I slowly moved in the direction of the study.
Although the Nine Emperors also lived in the palace, there were no strange gardeners in his palace to serve the flowers and plants, so in addition to the pines and cypresses and bamboos, there were some plum and peach trees.
The other flowers and plants have withered, and only the plum blossoms are still bullying the frost and snow, and they are blooming extraordinarily fresh.
Although Qiao Wanshu wanted to listen to the root of the wall, she had no choice but to have a guard pass by outside the study at any time.
She also thought about it, why don't she hide over there by playing hide?
But this idea was quickly rejected by her.
Although there was no conclusive evidence, she always had a feeling that the Nine Emperor Princes seemed to know that in her small body, there was another mature soul.
If not, then his attitude and dialogue with her would be too strange.
[Forget it, this method doesn't work, so I'll think of other methods.] It's a big deal, if I knock on the side or something, I don't believe that I can't hear it. 】
Qiao Wanshu comforted herself a little in her heart.
However, what surprised her was that Sang Zhi actually found several secret sentinels when she approached the study.
[Good guys! Mulberry Branch's skills are not bad! With her, I don't have to worry about having no helper if I want to find out who I want to find out in the future. 】
Qiao Wanshu was happy in her heart, and she couldn't wait to go to General Chen's mansion immediately and kiss her grandfather on the face.
The arrival of the mulberry branch is simply timely rain for her!
"Miss Qiao, it's cold, you still have to be careful not to catch a cold."
A grandmother came over with a soft and warm fox fur again, wanting to drape Qiao Wanshu.
"Thank you, Mama, the fox fur on my young lady's body was specially prepared by Mrs., and it won't be cold."
Sang Zhi's vigilance was very high, and he easily refused to let Qiao Wanshu touch unchecked things.
"Miss Qiao is suffocating in the house, isn't she? Why don't the old slaves let those palace maids come and play with her for a while? ”
Although the old lady touched a nail, she obviously didn't plan to give up, and made another suggestion.
This time, Sang Zhi was not good at making up her own mind, she turned to look at Qiao Wanshu inquiringly.
"To play, to play! Hide-and-seek! ”
Qiao Wanshu was worried that she didn't have a chance to get close to the study, so she had a sleepy pillow.
It's just that whether she can successfully hear the root of the wall, she is not sure in her heart.
Mama quickly summoned the palace maids in the Nine Emperors' bedroom and asked them to play with Qiao Wanshu.
As a personal maid and guard, Sang Zhi naturally will not be too far away.
Qiao Wanshu took the opportunity to hide and successfully took a few steps closer to the study.
It's just that she can get close to the study, and once Sang Zhi takes a step closer, a guard will appear out of nowhere and stop her.
After several temptations, Qiao Wanshu slowly lost interest.
[It seems that it still doesn't work, if it's just me, if it's close, it's close. But with the mulberry branches, she was stopped, and I had to retreat away. 】
[It's really a mulberry branch, and a mulberry branch is a failure.] 】
Qiao Wanshu was thinking about it, and was hugged by someone unexpectedly.
"Miss Qiao, the slave has found you!"
It turned out that she was only concerned about being distracted, but she forgot that she was still in the game, so she was caught by the palace maid who was pretending to be a ghost this time.
"No, don't count, you still have to play! One more time! ”
Qiao Wanshu had no choice but to play an energetic little girl.
But this time, she unexpectedly heard some gossip.
Although the rule of hide and seek is that if you are caught by a ghost, you must pretend to be a ghost.
But because of Qiao Wanshu's tricks, she got another chance to hide.
This time she hid in a bush, and under the cover of the bushes, she slowly approached a rockery.
Just when she was about to touch the rockery and hide inside, she suddenly heard someone talking behind the rockery.
"I said, have you heard, that King Jing, who almost never enters Beijing, not only entered the capital, but also secretly had a private tryst with a woman."
