After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

Xiao Qirui knew that Yan Yu would definitely go to visit Xiao Chengji.

Xiao Chengji had to kneel down and copy scriptures at night, and no one was allowed to disturb or visit him during that time.

The emperor and everyone gathered in front of the campfire. He felt a little melancholy and always felt that this punishment was too severe for Xiao Chengji.

This child rode a horse all day, did not eat at night, and was still forced to stay up all night copying scriptures. Is this punishment too much?

A young eunuch came to the emperor at the instruction of Xiao Qirui and whispered to him: "Your Majesty, the Princess of Qin disregarded the rules and secretly took food and clothes to visit the King of Qin in the Duxuan Palace!"

The emperor's eyes changed, and he was once again glad that he had arranged a virtuous and sensible daughter-in-law for Xiao Chengji.

The young eunuch thought that the emperor didn't hear him because of the noise, so he raised his voice slightly and repeated his words: "Your Majesty, the Princess of Qin violated the ban and went to the Duxuan Palace to visit the King of Qin!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor kicked him away.

Seeing that the young eunuch had displeased the emperor, the other eunuchs and guards quickly covered his mouth and dragged him away.

Xiao Qirui's eyes flickered: "Father, what's wrong?"

The emperor raised his eyes coldly, and looked at him with a little more disgust: "Nothing."

Yan Yu knew that the Seventh Prince would report this to the Emperor, so he leaked some information to the Seventh Prince's people.

It is difficult to distinguish right from wrong in this world because things are judged by people, and human hearts are really too complicated.

Violating the ban is often a serious crime, but sometimes it is so light that it seems as if nothing happened.

There was a Buddha statue in the center of the Duxuan Hall. Yan Yuzhen didn't have the courage to let Xiao Chengji eat meat in front of the Buddha, so all he brought were vegetarian dishes.

She brought a dish of stir-fried mushrooms, a dish of stir-fried yam with wolfberry and black fungus, a dish of shiitake mushroom tofu, a dish of sea cucumber with chrysanthemum husk, a dish of bamboo fungus and coconut soup, and four or five kinds of vegetarian salty snacks and tea.

Yan Yu picked up a piece of mushrooms with chopsticks for him. Although they were fried in vegetable oil, the yellow mushrooms, matsutake mushrooms, cape mushrooms and chicken mushrooms tasted better than meat and were so delicious that they could make one's tongue fall off.

The tofu is just the right tenderness, and the secret sauce and mushrooms make it fragrant and tasty.

Xiao Chengji originally had no appetite, but when Yan Yu came over, he unknowingly ate a bowl of rouge rice, tasted some of the dishes, and drank a bowl of vegetarian soup.

Seeing that he had finished eating, Yan Yu handed him tea to rinse his mouth, put away the plates and bowls, and took out some snacks and fruits and placed them beside him: "The night is still long. If your highness is hungry, you can have some snacks. The tea in this pot will not get cold. It contains Xiaoxian tea. If you are thirsty, drink some hot tea."

Xiao Chengji doesn't like things that are too sweet, so Yan Yu brought some salty vegetarian snacks, each one is bite-sized and looks very exquisite. Even if you don't eat them, they look nice when placed next to the Buddha.

She was about to leave after packing up. The people outside had time limits on how long they let her in, and she couldn't let Yan Yu stay here with him all night.

Xiao Chengji didn't want Yan Yu to leave. Seeing that Yan Yu's eyes were still red and she looked very pitiful, he raised his hand and hugged her in his arms: "Be good, stay a little longer?"

"Hmph." Yan Yu pushed him away. "If Your Highness had been more attentive, there wouldn't have been so much trouble. If you want to copy scriptures tonight, do so. If you don't want to copy scriptures, just sleep here for a while."

...There's nothing we can do about it.

Xiao Chengji was not born to be a law-abiding person, and he doesn't look like an honest man at all.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Yan Yu for a moment.

Anyway, the person is already his, so it will be the same when he goes back tomorrow.

Yan Yu picked up the lunch box and walked out.

Outside, Ningxia and Ruidong were waiting for her with lanterns in their hands, and the eunuchs guarding the palace were also anxiously waiting for Princess Qin to come out as soon as possible.

After Yan Yu came out, he rewarded the young eunuchs with a lot of silver and took out a pot of wine and some snacks from Ning Xiati's food box: "The eunuchs have worked hard to keep watch at night, so eat something tonight. If the prince has any instructions, please let us know."

These young eunuchs were also very perceptive and agreed immediately.

No one in the palace would take the initiative to make things difficult for the King of Qin. It was well known that the Emperor doted on the King of Qin. Although the Emperor had not appointed a crown prince, there was still a great possibility that the King of Qin would inherit the throne in the future.

The Princess of Qin had never made things difficult for the eunuchs and palace maids. She was always friendly and generous when they met her.

Therefore, whenever the Princess of Qin asked them about something or asked them to do something, they would basically agree.

After Yan Yu left, these people carefully watched inside to see if His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin needed them to do anything.

The emperor's men also returned from the enclosure.

Although the Prince of Qin was punished, Concubine Jin also did not get any benefits. The emperor's attitude towards her was no longer as warm as before.

Concubine Jin had not yet realized how disastrous the consequences would be if she lost the emperor's favor in the harem. In her eyes, this was just a slight conflict and a little bit of awkwardness with the emperor, and in a few days everything would be the same as before.

Xiao Qirui reminded her at the right time: "Father is the emperor, Concubine Jin, you should not be too willful when facing father."

Concubine Jin said disdainfully: "Your father is so old, and I am still very young. He should be the one coaxing me and begging me to be close to him."

Xiao Qirui shook his head: "Beauties are a scarce commodity in your country, but not in the Wei Dynasty. Madam, the population of the Wei Dynasty is hundreds of times greater than your country, with vast territory and abundant resources. There are beauties every year, but there is only one emperor."

After hearing what he said, Jin Fei suddenly realized that the times now were different, and this place was also different from the past.

She suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Xiao Qirui smiled slightly: "But there is one thing your majesty said is correct, the emperor is old, but you are still young. Have you ever thought about what you will do after your father dies? Your father loves the King of Qin the most. What if the King of Qin ascends the throne——"

Jin Fei had never thought about such a long-term thing. When Xiao Qiru said that, she suddenly realized the crisis.

...She and the King of Qin have already formed a feud. If the King of Qin becomes the new emperor in the future, he will never give her a good way out.

Xiao Qirui looked straight at Concubine Jin: "Your Majesty?"

Jin Fei said hurriedly: "If it were you——"

Xiao Qirui chuckled, his voice as light as a cloud: "If I succeed, Your Majesty will enjoy wealth and glory from now on, and have everything in the world."

Jin Fei's eyes gradually brightened: "Really?"

"Of course it's true." Xiao Qirui said, "Only if the queen is willing to listen to my arrangements."

……

The night is as cool as water, the sky is full of stars shining brightly, and the ground is clear and cold.

Xiao Qirui stayed for a long time not far from the Qin Palace, with a starlight covering his body.

He has almost shed his boyish immaturity, and after going through all kinds of things, he has already taken on the outline of a mature man.
