So Youran
Chapter 23 Dangerous Chess
At this time, the envoy suddenly stepped forward and said, "I don't know if the life and death ring a few days ago can be untied? Do you need our princess to teach you?"
The emperor seemed to think of it suddenly and said: "I almost forgot, Qi Feng, where is the ring of life and death?"
Qi Feng took out the ring of life and death, clasped his hands together and said, "Your Majesty, my wife has already untied this ring of life and death, and it took less than a quarter of an hour."
There was another uproar in the court, and the envoy looked at Youran in astonishment.The emperor smiled and said: "In this case, Youran, you can explain it to them."
Qi Feng handed the ring of life and death to You Ran, who leaned sideways so that everyone could see it, and then began to untie it.Youran's ten fingers are long and slender, and the movement of breaking the circle of life and death is gentle, combined with the clanging of metal, there is an indescribable beauty.After a while, the ring of life and death split into two, and it really took less than a quarter of an hour.The emperor was overjoyed, the envoys were shocked, and the princess came to Youran happily and said: "You are amazing, the ring of life and death is a toy of our royal family, and it has never been spread. Only our royal family knows the way to untie it. Yes. Your Majesty, do you think she should be given to me?"
The emperor said: "If anyone who knows how to break the circle of life and death is given to you, I'm afraid your whole country won't be able to accommodate it."
As soon as the envoy made this remark, the envoy's face was not very good-looking, but the princess was about to defend herself when she suddenly understood the irony in the remark.Also fell silent.
The emperor said: "No matter what, I still want to thank you for the treasure you brought us. It really opened our eyes. Your Royal Highness is also tired, why don't you go back and rest earlier."
The envoy had nothing to say, so he could only leave the hall with the princess.
The princess and the envoy resigned, and before leaving, the princess still looked at Youran reluctantly.
As soon as Di Yueguo's people left, the empress dowager started to attack.
"The daring thief girl actually faked her death to deceive the emperor, come here and tie her up."
Qi Feng leisurely both knelt down on the ground.
The emperor said: "Slow down. Queen Mother, Mrs. Qi has just defeated Di Yue's provocation and defended the glory of our court. If you tie him up now, won't the people in Fanbang say that our court's rewards and punishments are unknown?"
The empress dowager said: "The emperor's words are wrong. Then Di Yue's envoys will inquire about the thief girl when they leave the other palace, and they will know that they are defrauding the emperor. If this matter is not punished, it is not to make people think that I am Is the law not strict?"
Xie Xiang echoed and said: "What the queen mother said is very true. The thief woman cheats her death, and she deserves to die if she deceives the king. But how can he be a weak woman alone?" At this moment, Xie Xiang could only bite the bullet and say leisurely woman.Otherwise, one's old background will be leaked.
Several ministers who were in touch with Xie Xiang also said: "I hope that the thieves will be punished severely, so as to serve as an example to others."
The emperor glanced at the courtiers below, and said lightly: "Qi Feng, what do you say?"
Qi Feng kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I think my husband and I are innocent."
The emperor said slowly: "You talk about it, if you say something bad, I will chop your head off."
Qi Feng said: "The fire that day was not an accident. Someone intentionally harmed Youran, and Youran was indeed almost killed. Fortunately, a friend with medical skills just came to visit and saved Youran's life."
"Since he was saved, why did he pretend to be dead?"
"Because when Youran was seriously ill, someone tried to murder him."
"Oh? Why would someone want to murder Youran?"
"I don't know about this either. Youran may have accidentally discovered someone else's secret. Because Youran doesn't remember anything afterwards, so I don't know what secret will make people kill him to silence him."
"Go on."
"I was worried about Youran's safety, and because Youran was seriously ill and needed to be recuperated, I announced that Youran had died of illness. But I dared not hide this from the emperor, so I told the emperor about the fraudulent death in the leave file."
"Thinking so, it seems to have told me."
"So the minister did not deceive the emperor."
The two monarchs and ministers sang together, talking happily to themselves, Prime Minister Xie's face was turning green with anger, but they didn't dare to interrupt, they could only listen in fear.
The emperor and Qi Feng seem to be chatting in the tea room.The emperor rested his chin with one hand and asked lazily, "Aren't you afraid that the thief will hurt Youran now?"
Qi Feng said: "Don't be afraid, because the emperor will make decisions for the ministers."
The emperor laughed and said, "You are really good at calculating."
The Empress Dowager sneered and said, "Since it's a secret, how could a weak girl bump into it? You're making an excuse for yourself. Besides, since you knew that someone murdered her, why didn't you report it to the authorities or pursue it?"
Xie Xiang's heart trembled, he didn't tell his sister all the things outside, but now something bad happened.
The Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs said with dissatisfaction: "Do you think that the Ministry of Criminal Affairs is incompetent and unable to handle your case?"
Qi Feng said: "It's just because the person who came to strike is not an ordinary person, and he is very skilled at flying over the roof and walls. If it weren't for the fact that there are a few more powerful guards in my mansion, I probably wouldn't be able to find it."
The Empress Dowager said, "Since we found out, why didn't we arrest him?"
Qi Feng said: "It's for fishing. I have arranged for people to wait where they are staying, waiting for them to contact the mastermind. Perhaps their contact information is too secretive, and there has been no movement so far."
The Empress Dowager said: "After all, you still have nothing to prove. Your Majesty, do you just listen to his passwords?"
The emperor pretended to sigh and said: "Qi Feng, don't catch your fish yet, you should hand in the bait." Then he turned to Wu Cai who was beside him and said, "Call the Chief of the Imperial Guard."
After a while, the armed chief guard came to the front of the hall.
The emperor said: "You send someone here quickly, Qi Feng, where is it?"
Qi Feng said: "Yangshu Lane, the fifth house after entering."
The emperor continued: "Go there and check if there is any suspicious person inside. If there is, bring it back. If it's just ordinary people, watch it first."
The Chief of Guards went down.
Xie Xiang only hoped that Mu Ping did not leave any clues for those people.Originally, Youran Qi Feng's crime of deceiving the emperor could be taken down in one fell swoop, but he unexpectedly notified the emperor in advance.This path will not work.A new charge had to be found.
The queen who had been silent all this time said: "It's a coincidence that Youran can learn Di Yue's dance, and she can learn it within three days. It's really impressive."
The Empress Dowager's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "Maybe she is a genius."
The emperor said: "I'm also very curious. Could it be that Youran really has such a talent? Or maybe my dancing girl is mediocre and can't complete this task?"
Qi Feng said: "The emperor's dancer is naturally the best, but I occasionally know that You Ran has practiced dancing, so there is no harm in having one more person to practice."
The emperor frowned and said, "Wu Cai. Did something happen to the dancer in the Wule Square?"
Wu Cai stepped forward and replied: "Indeed, the dancer who was about to go on stage suddenly suffered from abdominal pain and passed out."
Xie Xiang said: "It seems that someone planned in advance to prevent the dancer from playing, so that You Ran could replace her. This person is really guilty of a heinous crime. He actually used important matters related to the national system as his own escalator to Pingyao."
The Minister of the Ministry of Officials said: "Master Qi is the person in charge of this incident. He has always been self-denying and devoted to public affairs. I guess there must be other secrets."
The Queen of Heaven said: "I think it is that a hero is saddened by a beautiful woman. He can risk his life for this seductive woman. If Youran wins glory for the country in this dance competition, it will be a great achievement and he can be exempted from any punishment." gone."
Qi Feng said: "The matter of my wife's fraudulent death has been reported to the emperor, and she did not commit the crime of deceiving the emperor, so where is the punishment? If it is not necessary, how can I let You Ran show up in public and attract people's suspicion?"
The emperor said: "You knew in advance that the dancer would fall ill, so you brought Youran here?"
Qi Feng said: "No, it was just that they were ordered to practice that day. They were troubled, and I didn't know what to do. I happened to know that Youran can dance in Diyue. Today I was going to watch the dance of the dancer. If it is better than Youran, then Youran I will go back to the house quietly, if not, I will play again leisurely. It's just that the dancer suddenly fell ill was unexpected."
Xie Xiang hurriedly said: "In my opinion, it's better to investigate this matter carefully, otherwise it will be condoned and fostered."
The emperor said: "Wu Cai, how did your investigation go?"
Wu Cai said: "Back to the emperor, the dancer had breakfast with everyone this morning, just because she was nervous and drank more water. The tableware and food have also been cleaned, and nothing was found inside. Just now the people below said , the dancer has already woken up, and the imperial doctor said it was because of nervousness that caused stomach and intestine spasms. There is no sign of poisoning."
The emperor said: "Since it can't be found out, it means that no one designed it in advance? Then Qi Feng is now innocent but has merit."
Qi Feng said: "I don't dare, I just do things for the emperor, I have to be [-]% sure. This is what I should do."
The Empress Dowager said: "Your Majesty, don't trust me. The dance music workshop is under his jurisdiction. Can people know if he has to do something?"
The emperor said: "According to the Queen Mother?"
The Empress Dowager said: "In my opinion, everyone in the dance band should be tortured, there must be something strange in it."
Qi Fengdao: "As the empress dowager said, the whole dance and music workshop is under the jurisdiction of the minister. If the disclosure was made in the place under the jurisdiction of the minister, the minister can hardly absolve himself of the responsibility, and I ask the emperor to punish him."
The emperor said: "You deserve it quickly. People are asking for credit, but you are asking for punishment."
At this time, someone from outside reported that the Chief of the Imperial Guard returned the order.
The emperor called the chief guard to come in.
The head of the guard came in with a box in his hand.Said: "Your Majesty, when I took people there, the people there seemed to have gotten wind of it and had already fled. The tea in the room was still hot, and it seemed that they had just left. After searching carefully, I found this. There were some notes in it , looks suspicious."
The palace man took the box to the emperor.The emperor looked carefully at the contents inside.His face darkened.
After being silent for a while, the emperor said: "Qi Feng, remember your punishment for now. You discovered these people first. I don't care what method you use, but I will uproot them. Find out whoever the leader has contacted with them." , I will give you a token, and you can call the police of the Ministry of Punishment. I will give you a one-month deadline, and if you can’t find out by the end of the year, you will be fined along with this time.”
Qi Feng said: "I obey the order."
The empress dowager wanted to say something, but the emperor stood up without waiting for him to say, "Go back to the palace." She could only leave the other palace with the empress.
After bowing down, all the officials left one after another, only then did Qi Feng support Youran to stand up.
Looking at Youran's somewhat pale face, he couldn't bear to say in his heart: "It surprised you, I was too arrogant, and I hurt you."
Leisurely shook her head lightly, but still didn't dare to speak, and let Qi Feng help her leave the other palace.
The emperor seemed to think of it suddenly and said: "I almost forgot, Qi Feng, where is the ring of life and death?"
Qi Feng took out the ring of life and death, clasped his hands together and said, "Your Majesty, my wife has already untied this ring of life and death, and it took less than a quarter of an hour."

Only our royal family knows the way to untie it. Yes. Your Majesty, do you think she should be given to me?"
The emperor said: "If anyone who knows how to break the circle of life and death is given to you, I'm afraid your whole country won't be able to accommodate it."
