After Gonggong Zheng accompanied Master Huinian out of the hall, Haoxing Xiaoqi turned his gaze to Xue Youyou, who was still standing solemnly under His Highness, and a warm smile appeared on his face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Youyou, I haven't seen you for nearly ten years, your face hasn't changed, and you're still as beautiful as ever. It's a pity that I'm much older, and I don't look like I used to be—"

Xue Youyou suddenly knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said: "The criminal minister Xue Youyou, I have come to ask Your Majesty for my guilt!"

Haoxing Xiaoqi smiled slightly in surprise and asked, "Why did you say this?"

"It was I who took revenge and made the act of destroying the temple and robbing people, and even broke through this catastrophe. Xue Youyou knows that her sin is unforgivable, and she asks Your Majesty to surrender her guilt!"

Haoxing Xiaoqi slowly put away his smile, sighed and said, "Since Master Huinian did not testify in front of the palace today that you had participated in this case, it can be said that there is no evidence, why do you have to admit it?"

"Master Huinian is kind and kind, and he doesn't want to pursue this matter more, but after all, the case was committed by me, how dare I confuse it in front of Your Majesty!"

Haoxing Xiaoqi sighed again, "Your stubborn temperament has never changed! If I really want to blame you, how can I let Zheng Yong remind you to release you? Get up, Youyou, since Master Huinian never mentioned it, I just don't know, so this matter will be turned over, and I will never mention it again in the future." ”

"Yes. Xue Youyou thanked His Majesty Longen. After a deep bow, Xue Youyou finally stood up, but she still stood aside, without saying anything else.

Haoxing Xiaoqi lightly pinched his eyebrows a few times, and said a little tiredly: "Recently, there have been many trivial matters between the DPRK and the central government, which is really disturbing! Only when I see you today, my mood is much better." ”

Hearing the emperor say this, Xue Youyou didn't know how to answer for a while, and stood silent for a moment before saying respectfully: "It's a pity that I don't understand the affairs of the court, and I can't share your worries for Your Majesty." But if there is a need for the Loyalty Alliance to serve outside the court, as long as His Majesty orders it, Xue Youyou will definitely do it. ”

Haoxing Xiaoqi smiled slightly and said: "In recent years, the Loyalty and Righteousness Alliance has indeed shared a lot of worries for me, which has not only calmed the rivers and lakes a lot, but also made the activities of the hidden people in Dayu no longer rampant. You, the leader of the alliance, naturally contributed a lot, and it seems that I really didn't choose the wrong person back then. ”

"Thanks to Your Majesty's praise, I dare not be ashamed. ”

Seeing that Xue Youyou's attitude had always been very restrained, Haoxing Xiaoqi couldn't help but sigh lightly: "I haven't seen you for many years, and Youyou seems to be becoming more and more alienated from me! Didn't I tell you a long time ago that there is no need for you and me to be commensurate with monarchs and ministers in such a private summons?"

Xue Youyou still pursed her lips and hung her head silently.

Haoxing Xiaoqi sighed, with a bit of sentimentality on his face, "I remember back then, you always called me eldest brother, and together with Xiaoyu, you secretly called me 'old master' behind your back......"

Xue Youyou's expression finally changed a little, and he sighed and said, "But now that you are the emperor, and I am just your subject, how dare you still mess around like when you were young?"

Hao Xing Xiaoqi shook his head and smiled: "How can I not know your temper?! You have been blaming me in your heart for defending the king, that's why you are so angry with me! Back then-" He suddenly shook his head again, "Don't mention the things of the past! Today I promise you that I will never favor the king again, and I will never stop you from avenging your father, so good?"

Seeing that the dignity of this country actually made peace with himself in such a low voice, Xue Youyou's heart couldn't help but feel a little moved, and she said with a slight emotion: "I-I am not happy, but I don't dare to have the slightest resentment against Your Majesty! After all, King Ding is His Majesty's own brother, even if you have a little intention of protecting him, it is also human nature. ”

"Brother--" Haoxing Xiaoqi sighed slightly, "If you can't work with one heart and one mind, what's the use of being a brother? I have never been able to figure out why King Ding's heart changed drastically, and he actually colluded with the hermit people to bring great fortune? Today, after listening to what Master Hui Nian said, I understood the root cause, it turned out that King Ding had actually practiced that Heavenly Absolute Demon Skill that disturbed people's hearts! Fortunately, Master Hui Nian abolished his martial arts in time, so that he would not fall deeper into the demon and become irreparable. But now that he has been robbed from Jishi Temple by that Xiao Yu, it really makes me feel uneasy, and I am afraid that there will be another wave of trouble because of this in the future!"

"Please don't worry too much, Your Majesty's kung fu has been abolished, even if you want to do evil again, I'm afraid you will be powerless. And that Xiao Yu is just a powerless young man, even if he is a hermit, he will not have any chance to make waves in Dayu!"

Haoxing Xiaoqi nodded and said, "With you and the Loyal Alliance here, I am very relieved." But for Xiao Yu, you must not take it lightly. Now that he thinks about it, since he is a hermit, he must have been rescued from Prince Ding's mansion by his hermit accomplices. And not only did he not flee from this, but he has been deliberately trying to rescue King Ding, and there must be a great conspiracy in this.

Judging from his past actions, this Xiao Yu should be an extremely scheming person, who can guess people's hearts at a young age. He didn't make much effort himself, just using you and Master Huinian, he rescued King Ding from the Protector Temple, which no one had ever dared to offend. What worries me even more is that there may be someone else behind him. These hidden evil people will not give up on this, they should have a bigger plan, and they may even use the king to realize the hidden clan's ambition to destroy my great wealth!"

Hearing the emperor's words, Xue Youyou's heart was also shocked, thinking of the young man whose ambition was as strong as a mountain and his heart was as deep as the sea, he couldn't help but have some doubts. originally thought that the reason why he refused to tell the truth about the old case thirty-two years ago was simply that he didn't want to betray his master. But could it be that he was thinking wrong? What if he had any other conspiracy? Once he escaped, I am afraid that he would really stir up an even bigger storm from now on, as the emperor said, and then wouldn't he make another irreparable mistake?

As soon as she thought of this, Xue Youyou couldn't help but have a trace of hesitation, should she tell the emperor about the fact that she had captured Xiao Yu immediately? In this way, it would not only save the emperor from continuing to worry, but also save herself the trouble of asking for the Endless Pill Antidote.

But for some reason, after hesitating again and again, she finally didn't say anything.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the Loyalty Alliance will do its best to track down the whereabouts of Xiao Tianjue and Xiao Yu, as long as they have not escaped from the territory of Dayu, they will be arrested one day. ”

"That's your time, You're in for you. Haoxing Xiaoqi's tone of voice was extremely gentle, but in the blink of his face, an unpredictable light flashed in his eyes.

Xue Youyou wanted to quit, but Haoxing Xiaoqi didn't mean to let her leave at all, and still kept asking about trivial matters, as if he, the emperor, had nothing else to do today.

Until Gonggong Zheng quietly turned in, and whispered in the emperor's ear: "Your Majesty, the cabinet has handed over today's recital." ”

Haoxing Xiaoqi said lightly: "Then present it." ”

Xue Youyou hurriedly seized this opportunity and said: "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, Xue Youyou doesn't dare to disturb any more, so I will retire first." ”

Haoxing Xiaoqi nodded, and then glanced at Gonggong Zheng without a trace.

Gonggong Zheng, who understood it, hurriedly said in a respectful voice: "The old slave sends the master of the Snow Alliance." "Then he went out of the Xuande Hall with the snow and quiet.

Outside the main hall, Xue Youyou suddenly stopped, looked back at Gonggong Zheng with a wicked smile on his face, and frowned: "Father-in-law is so polite, isn't there anything else to tell Xue Youyou to do?"

Gonggong Zheng stepped forward, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Let the Lord of the Snow Alliance laugh! ”

"Oh?" Xue Youyou couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, "This is a coincidence, I still want to ask my father-in-law for the antidote to this Endless Pill!"

Gonggong Zheng's smile suddenly deepened, "The alliance leader's words are not understandable to our family. Since the alliance leader didn't use the Endless Pill on Master Hui Nian, why didn't he say that he would return it to our family, and in turn ask our family for the antidote?"

Xue Youyou just stared at Gonggong Zheng with a cold gaze, looking disdainful to explain.

Seeing that the other party's gaze was not good, Gonggong Zheng's face couldn't help but change, and his voice immediately softened: "Don't blame the Snow Alliance Master, it's our family who asks more." It's just that our family has never carried the antidote with us, can we allow our family to go back to the palace to show the emperor first, and then go and take the antidote and hand it to the alliance leader?"

Xue Youyou suddenly took a step forward, the distance between her and Gonggong Zheng almost shrunk to less than a foot, and continued to stare at him coldly: "No need! I just want to remind my father-in-law that it is best to bring the antidote with me at all times in the future, otherwise if one day, the Endless Pill in my hand is accidentally taken by my father-in-law himself, then won't you have to reap the consequences?"

After speaking, she sneered to herself, and turned around and walked away.

Gonggong Zheng dared to sink his face at this time, staring at the back of the snow for a long time, and a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes. Then he turned and went back to the main hall.

"How?" Haoxing Xiaoqi asked without raising his head, putting down the piece he was looking at.

"Your Majesty's expectation is right, Xue Youyou is indeed asking the old slave for the antidote to the Endless Pill. ”

Haoxing Xiaoqi frowned and said, "Looking at Fang Cai's situation, Hui Nian should not have been poisoned by the Endless Pill. In this way, Snow Ghost must have intended to use it on another person. ”

"Just now, she threatened to use it on the old slave......" Gonggong Zheng replied with a little fear.

Haoxing glanced at him, "I don't want to kill her yet, and you don't have to rush to make up charges for her." ”

"The old slave doesn't dare!" Gonggong Zheng was suddenly shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.

"You don't have to worry, in my opinion, Xue Youyou should be planning to use that Endless Pill on the body of King Ding or that Xiao Yu. And judging from her look just now, I'm afraid Xiao Yu has already fallen into her hands. ”

Haoxing Xiaoqi frowned and pondered for a moment before he commanded in a deep voice, "You immediately order Zuo Yusong, and let him take advantage of Xue Youyou's banquet in the Zhongyi League tonight to send someone to infiltrate Xiuyun's place to investigate, and if you find anything abnormal, report it to me immediately." ”

"Yes, the old slave will do it. Gonggong Zheng replied hurriedly.
