The eldest princess is obsessed with rebellion, but there are six male protagonists
Chapter 17 Digging a hole
Su Fengyi had the Emperor's decree to protect him, so he didn't buy into Qiao Gui's words. He stepped inside and said with a smile:
"I didn't need to be summoned when I met Taizu, nor did I need to be summoned when I met the late emperor. Now that I am meeting the emperor, I naturally don't need to trouble Eunuch Qiao to be summoned. The emperor still owes me an order, and I will leave after receiving it."
Qiao Gui smiled honestly and gave an impeccable reason:
"How dare I stop Your Highness? It's just that the Emperor is exhausted and is taking a bath to rest. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for Your Highness to come in now.
I will go and tell Your Highness about the imperial decree. Please wait for a moment, okay?"
It must be said that Qiao Gui was really capable. In just a few words, he managed to appease the angry emperor and even stopped Su Fengyi under the pretext of bathing.
Anyway, the final imperial edict was written by Qiao Gui, so it was not necessary to see the emperor. Su Fengyi paused, sat down in the hall and said:
"In that case, please excuse me, sir. I will wait for your order here."
Lu Hong looked at her and followed Qiao Gui to find the emperor.
Su Fengyi waited for a long time. She sat and drank tea for half the afternoon, ate two snacks, and even had dinner. Qiao Gui finally came back with an imperial edict, smiling:
"Your Highness has been waiting for a long time. The Emperor has issued an edict. Please review it."
Su Fengyi took the imperial edict and opened it on the spot. It read:
Shen Hongxian was ordered to make amends for his crime and raise one million taels of tax within three months to atone for his crime.
The handwriting is Qiao Gui's, and the seal is the emperor's seal. It is a real imperial edict, no doubt about it.
No wonder it took so long to write these few sentences. Since the emperor had already promised to release the Shen family, Qiao Gui was powerless to change the situation, so he tampered with the deadline.
First, she separated the emperor from herself, and then, through constant persuasion, she changed the deadline that Su Fengyi had agreed upon with the emperor, which was to have endless descendants, to three months.
Qiao Gui is worthy of being the most powerful eunuch around the emperor, he has really good tactics.
Su Fengyi didn't get angry after seeing this, she just asked him:
"Three months? Didn't the emperor just say three months? Besides, Xuanfu doesn't have border trade, so where can we collect border taxes?"
Qiao Gui's face was full of innocence and fear of having done something wrong:
"Your Highness, calm down. I dare not speculate on the emperor's thoughts. How about I go and ask again?"
Behind Qiao Gui, Lu Hong, who followed closely, shook his head slightly.
Meaning: No.
This Qiao Gui is setting a trap again, right?
Su Fengyi could guess what Qiao Gui was up to.
If he were really asked, he would surely stir up some gossip like, "The eldest princess was very dissatisfied with the emperor's decree and got very angry."
Qiao Gui works for the Emperor, so Su Fengyi attacks him openly and covertly for his incompetence.
Su Fengyi has no real power, and it doesn't matter whether she is capable or not. Qiao Gui recognizes this and does not attack Su Fengyi's ability, but instead uses her attitude to make trouble.
Now is not the time to confront Qiao Gui head-on. We should delay it a bit and lower his guard.
Su Fengyi didn't get angry but laughed:
"Since it is the emperor's intention, I have no reason to be angry. It's OK as long as you don't regret it, Eunuch Qiao.
Let me ask you, if we haven't collected one million taels in three months, what will General Shen do? What about his accomplices?"
When Qiao Gui saw Su Fengyi laughing, he also bent over and smiled apologetically:
"Three months later, it will be the Autumn Period. General Shen, the previous sentence was execution after the Autumn Period. The same crime applies to the same person."
"Okay, then three months. Let's go."
Su Fengyi took the imperial edict, walked past Eunuch Qiao, and walked out of the hall.
When they passed each other, they both stopped smiling.
Seeing Su Fengyi leave so abruptly, Qiao Gui was really confused about what this eldest princess was up to.
To be fair, he and the eldest princess had never interfered with each other in the past. There was no conflict of interest between them, so there was no need for them to fight to the death. As long as the eldest princess did not become his enemy, there was no need for him to go against her.
Therefore, these three months were just a bait he put out to test the princess's true intentions.
It's only three months, and General Shen is not a god, so where can he find the one million taels?
If the princess really wanted to save people, she would naturally argue with the emperor.
Qiao Gui's original plan was to leave her alone for the entire afternoon. Given the princess's temper, she must be extremely angry after waiting for such a long time. And then, if he let her see that the decree had been changed, she would definitely explode with her explosive temper.
It’s better to explode!
When people are angry, they can say anything outrageous.
The furious eldest princess faced the suspicious emperor, with Qiao Gui adding fuel to the fire. Humph, the eldest princess must die today.
As a result, seeing the eldest princess's behavior, she didn't care much and her argument was just going through the motions. In other words, she didn't really want to save anyone?
Eunuch Qiao Guiqiao was completely confused by the eldest princess's actions.
Is this princess a friend or an enemy? What does she want to do?
……
Su Fengyi left the White Tiger Palace, looked for the little white dragon, mounted her horse and prepared to return to the princess's residence, but saw Lu Hong following out.
She waved her hand and said:
"I'm going back now. Don't see me off. You should stay with the emperor more now."
Qiao Gui is vying to be the number one person in the emperor's heart. He has been fighting with Lu Hong for many years. If you are not careful, you will be tripped up by him.
The emperor was young in temperament, and his mood was changeable. He was afraid that Qiao Gui would instigate him behind his back and cause trouble again.
Lu Hong followed out because he was worried about Su Fengyi's failure to accomplish her goal.
Lu Hong looked in the direction of Qiao Gui and shook his head slightly: "Qiao, doubt."
Su Fengyi understood that it was Qiao Gui's instigation that made the emperor suspicious of her saving General Shen.
Su Fengyi knew what he was thinking and replied:
"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements. He has to come to me in person to ask for help tomorrow."
That's all well and good, but Lu Hong was still confused as to why the princess had to save General Shen?
As he pondered the princess' daily routine, Lu Hong frowned slightly and said, "Shen, does it look good?"
Su Fengyi was about to leave, but when she heard him ask, she suddenly remembered something and waved her hand:
"Yes, it is beautiful. Haven't you seen it? Speaking of beautiful, I remember something. Come here."
Lu Hong walked closer, helped Su Fengyi hold the horse reins, and looked up at Su Fengyi who was sitting high on the horse.
Su Fengyi leaned over to his ear and whispered:
"Help me find someone in the palace, quietly, don't tell anyone else."
The sound of breath blew into his ears, and Lu Hong only felt his earlobe itchy. The itching spread from his earlobe to his whole body. Every part of his limbs was filled with the kind of itchy feeling that comes in waves, endlessly, as if all things are reviving in spring.
Lu Hong seemed unaware and his expression did not change. He just raised one hand towards Su Fengyi and handed his palm to her.
This is a habit they developed since childhood, writing on the palms of their hands to tell secrets.
Su Fengyi hesitated for a moment, but thinking that the princess in the original book often did this, she would seem deliberate if she was shy.
Moreover, the two of them had slept in the same rocking chair when they were young, and they were very familiar with each other. Apart from the difference in status, they were no different from real siblings in terms of feelings. Su Fengyi felt that there should be no problem in writing a word on the palm of her hand.
So she naturally stretched out a finger and wrote the two words "Xue Yu" on his palm.
