At this time, at the south gate of the palace, two carriages were walking towards the depths of the palace.

Qi Muxiao sat in the carriage in front of him, dressed in official uniforms, with a serious expression, and Cen Sen next to him was silent with interest.

Cen Sen has been working with King Mu for a long time, and he knows that he has always been this indifferent appearance that doesn't know whether he is happy or angry, but when he came to him this morning, the monstrous anger in his eyes really shocked him.

Qi Muxiao instructed: "In a while, this king will go to meet the saint first." ”

"Yes, my lord. ”

Qi Muxiao and Cen Sen followed their father-in-law to the Yangxin Palace, at this time Emperor Qi was eating inside, and Emperor Qi heard his father-in-law tell King Mu that he was coming, so he ordered him to eat together.

When Emperor Qi saw him come in in an official uniform, his expression was heavy, and he didn't ask him the reason directly, but ordered a few vegetarian dishes and gave them to Qi Muxiao.

Qi Muxiao sat aside, took two bites and put down the chopsticks.

Seeing this, Emperor Qi said: "Xiao'er, why do you eat so much, you are not in good health, eat more." ”

Emperor Qi didn't have a little severance, just like the father of ordinary people, he cared about him, or maybe he saw Qi Muxiao Shaoshi, thought of another person, and couldn't help but care more.

Yao Xiyin used to put chopsticks in two bites, and this child followed his mother.

"Xiao Er came back from Huizhou so soon, and came here so early today, but for the sake of the Yin clan?"

"Back to my father, it was the Yin clan who provoked a monk on the coast of the East China Sea because of a land dispute, so there were a few murders, and the son had already sent the man away according to the contract, and the case was simple, so he rushed back in advance, and he just arrived this morning. ”

"You just came back and you haven't had a good rest?"

"There are still many affairs in the hospital that have not yet been dealt with, and I dare not slack off. ”

"Xiao Er is so diligent, very good, very good...... Then you entered the palace so early today, but something happened?"

"I also invited my father to eat first, and the affairs of my sons and daughters are not in a hurry. ”

Qi Huang nodded kindly and continued to eat, Qi Muxiao looked at the table of food without appetite, and sat there silently waiting.

Two moments later, Emperor Qi finished eating, and he asked Qi Muxiao to accompany him to Yongde Palace.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Father, do you still remember Luo Li, the new master of the Beihuang Hall of the Painting and Calligraphy Academy?"

"I remember, this Luo painter is young, his painting skills are outstanding, and he is deeply loved by me, and he accompanied me to paint a few days ago. I knew that she was recommended by Xiao Er, and Xiao Er put her heart into it. ”

Qi Muxiao stepped forward and bowed, took out two medicine bottles from his arms and presented them with both hands, "Father, the Lord of the Luo Hall was taken away in the place of wind collection last night, and he was also given three indiscriminate medicines, but fortunately, the sons arrived in time, and the Lord of the Luo Hall kept his innocence." The lord of Luotang was recommended by his son, and now that the lord of Luotang is humiliated, in order to protect her reputation, his son has to bypass the normal interrogation process and ask his father to call the shots. ”

"Is there such a thing?!" Emperor Qi gave Li Yongfu a look, Li Yongfu walked next to Qi Muxiao, took the medicine bottle, opened it and smelled it.

"Holy Lord, the soft fragrance presented by King Mu is a taste, and an aphrodisiac is ......"

Li Yongfu has been walking in the deep palace for many years, and he is very familiar with these indiscriminate drugs.

"Father, son, and two witnesses, and Cen Sen detained two of them and waited outside. ”

"Passing it in, I want to see what kind of person is so bold that he actually attacked my painter!"

Cen Sen led the two into the hall, and the two were so frightened that they trembled and couldn't give up.

Cen Sen respectfully knelt down and bowed to Emperor Qi, the two people next to him were from the countryside, they had never seen Emperor Qi, and when they heard that it was the emperor, they were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"Saint, these two people are servants of King Jing's other courtyard, and the two were interrogated by Lord Cen this morning, and they have truthfully confessed, and the person who instructed to rob the master of Luotang and the person who drugged them was Zhao Yujie, the head of Beiyan Hall. This is not the first time he has committed a crime, he was in the Jingwang Courtyard before-"

Qi Huang jumped for a moment, but he didn't have a seizure, and suddenly interrupted Qi Muxiao and ordered: "Adulterer, it's not a pity to die, these two people were directly dragged out and beheaded." ”

One person was so frightened that he peed his pants on the spot.

When Cen Sen heard this, he immediately knelt down and pleaded: "Your Majesty, Wechen found out that there are often women missing in this Songming Shanzhou County, and Wechen suspects that it is related to——"

Emperor Qi interrupted him, "Cen Sen, go down." I want to talk to King Mu alone. ”

Four guards came in at the door and dragged the two away, and Cen Sen sighed when he saw this and respectfully bowed back.

Emperor Qi withdrew from everyone, stood in front of the bookcase with his hands in his hands, and left Qi Muxiao with a side face.

Qi Muxiao stood aside, quietly observing the man on the stage who was related to him. This man who seems to prefer himself actually prefers King Jing the most. Dugu, the mother of King Jing, the second prince, was the favorite concubine of Emperor Qi when he was still the prince, and followed Emperor Qi for many years, but not long after he sat on the dragon chair, Dugu died early due to illness. Although King Jing served as an idle post in the Gongyuan, he later had the support of the Zhenxi general Feng Rinchuan and the Zhennan general Dugu Yishi of the maternal power.

The combined military strength of the two sides accounts for one-half of the Qi State, which is not trivial, but the Qi Emperor has always allowed King Jing to win over the forces in the army and did nothing.

"What does Xiao Er want?" Emperor Qi stepped down from the stage, walked in front of him, looked at him and asked, this sentence is more like a warning.

Qi Muxiao knelt down, pretending to be frightened and said: "The sons just want to seek justice for the lord of Luotang, and the other sons can not investigate, just ask the father and the emperor to issue a decree to protect her reputation." ”

Emperor Qi looked at him, his son had been back to the royal capital for more than a year, and he had been avoiding the matter of retiring from marrying a wife. At the beginning, he had to send him to cultivate, which was also a helpless move, but he turned out to be too pure-hearted, and even worse, there were rumors of broken sleeves in the market. Now I was surprised to hear that he could intercede for a woman.

"Yes, my father will grant you, and this decree will be as you will. As for those who commit adultery, Xiao Er still has to report to the criminal court for conviction according to the process, as the head of the inspection court, how many pairs of eyes are staring at you, and the punishment is reasonable. ”

"When Erchen's subordinates rescued the lord of Luotang, they encountered resistance from the other party and a fight broke out, and all the armed ones were all corrected by the guards on the spot, and they also asked their father to forgive their sins. ”

"Coupled with the two of them just now, Xiao Er is still not satisfied?" Emperor Qi saw that Qi Mu Xiao was silent, and continued: "Xiao Er has been back to the royal capital for more than a year, and this court matter should also be almost understood, right and wrong, not seeing is true, and it is not something you can decide alone. I will not hinder the matter of cultivation, but you are the prince of my Qi country, you need to be careful in everything you say and do, and it is really unwise to offend your brother for a painter. After a while, Emperor Qi relieved his mouth, "Okay, get up, I will give you a decree now." After Emperor Qi walked to the bookcase, the flying dragon and the phoenix danced for a while, and gave Qi Muxiao a yellow scroll.

"You go to the palace after you finish this matter, I have something to ask you. ”

"Yes, thank you father. As he spoke, he knelt down to Emperor Qi again, got up and walked out with the edict, and no one noticed the dead hand in his sleeve.

When Pei Huan and Luo Li rushed back to Songming Mountain, the sky was slightly bright, and the forest was full of fog.

Pei Huan was holding a sword and guarding the door of Luo Li's room.

Luo Li was already tired from tossing and turning all night, so he went in and fell asleep. In a daze, she was woken up by the noise outside the room.

Pei Huan said in a deep and stern voice: "The master of the Luo Hall was attacked last night, and he is still resting, two adults, please go back." ”

"Deputy Director Min, the people from the Mu Wangfu have arrived, what are you worried about, but what this guard said about the attack, we didn't hear it...... Isn't it, Deputy Director Min? You can live next to Miss Luo, didn't you hear any movement last night. ”

Min Yun saw that Pei Huan was not allowed to enter, so she gave up and turned to leave.

"This handsome man, it is cold at night for the hall master of Beiyan Hall, and this is the master of this hall, since the master of the Luo hall has been attacked, this matter is going to go in to visit the master of the Luo hall, in case the hall master is in danger of having something to think of, this will be troublesome. ”

Pei Huan held the sword in his right hand, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and remained unmoved.

"Brother Pei, I'm tired of letting him in, I'm awake. ”
