So Youran

The study finally fell silent. Qi Lie leaned on the dragon chair, closed his eyes and meditated. After a while, Wu came back and said that he had been locked up. The imperial doctor had come to treat him. Qi Lie's wound was a little ruptured, but he was fine. .In addition, people have been arranged to take care of the maid's family.

The emperor listened quietly, Wu Cai finished speaking, and then he asked: "Your hands and feet are quite fast."

Wu Cai hurriedly fell to his knees and said, "Please forgive me for beheading this old slave first and then playing the crime."

The emperor didn't let him get up, and then asked: "How did you find out?"

Wu Caidao: "Earlier this morning, my hand came down to report that the Empress Dowager had closed the dance music workshop, and even dragged one back to the Empress Dowager's bedroom. The old slave thought it was strange, so he sent someone to keep an eye on the movements there, until the Empress Dowager came to the study and the Emperor gave the order With His Royal Highness, the old slave thought about what that person was doing. When the queen mother’s people took the woman outside to wait, the old slave took the opportunity to meet the woman alone. She was very frightened. I just told her to see the emperor. , to be honest, the emperor will let her make the decision. It is because the emperor is usually kind that the maid will believe it."

The emperor said: "Presumably you also falsely passed on my oral order, saying that you only met the court lady after interrogating her alone?"

Wu Cai knelt down on the ground and said: "The emperor is wise, this old slave really deserves death. Please grant me the punishment."

The emperor said: "You old fellow, if I give you the crime now, then all the previous things will have to be overturned and repeated. As the emperor, you will go back on your word and fall into the shoes of others for no reason. I still know your thoughts. The court lady suddenly shouted for grievances, and from the look on the Empress Dowager's face, I knew you had done something wrong. But fortunately, you have no selfish intentions, you just don't want them to wrong people, so let's take the credit for the crime."

Wu Cai hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty Long En."

The emperor said: "Get up quickly, there are still many things to do."

Wu Cai got up and stood beside him, the emperor said: "You have to watch over those two people, don't make mistakes, even though they are in the palace, there is no guarantee that they won't do anything."

Wu Caidao: "The old slave understands that a hundred guards have been arranged in the palace, and all the palace people have found out the details."

The emperor said: "You make arrangements, I'm going to see the group of desperadoes. Be quiet"

Wu Cai was taken aback for a moment, he was an old man after all, and immediately put away his expression and took orders.

Internal servant supervisor, the place where the servants who made mistakes are detained. Most of the servants who enter here will die here. Because all the servants are locked here, there is no special shackles on the door.But today, not only have baffles been added to the doors and windows, but there are also guards on three floors inside and three floors outside the door.The entire inner servant was surrounded like an iron barrel.

It is already the end of the day, the sun in winter is not very strong, and now it is impossible to take care of you in the house, and the whole housekeeper is extremely cold.There were seven people whose hands and feet were tied with iron chains, some were sitting on the ground, and some were leaning against the wall, but more than a dozen people did not make any sound.

The emperor was wearing a cloak at the moment to hide the color of the emperor's clothes. Under Wu Cai's guidance, he came down to the inner guard. When the guard saw Wu Cai stretched out his hand to stop him, Wu Cai took out his badge from his waist and said, "Your Majesty wants to interrogate you personally. The people in the house, send a few deaf ones to follow in and escort them."

The chief guard was about to kneel down, when Wu Cai stopped, "Forget it, don't disturb too many people."

The chief guard ordered twenty people from behind, and followed the emperor into the room.

As soon as these twenty or so people came in, they put knives on the necks of more than a dozen people, and the rest surrounded the emperor. After all, these were desperadoes and they should not be taken lightly.

Sitting in a cushioned chair, the emperor glanced around the room.Although these people are already prisoners, they have no fear at all, and they really see death as home.Qi Lie had to admire the people who could train them to be like this.

The emperor looked at it for a while before he said, "Is there a leader among you?"

No one answered.The guards with knives were approaching their necks, Wu Cai said, "Why don't you answer the emperor's question truthfully?"

At this time, several people had expressions. They didn't expect that the person who came was actually the emperor.

The emperor was not in a hurry, he asked them to watch him carefully, and he also looked back.After a while, a person near the corner said, "I am the leader of this group."

The emperor looked at that person, that person looked particularly thin among this group of people, and he was only about 20 years old, but he had a vicissitudes of expression, tightly pursed lips, and indifferent eyes that did not match his age.

Wu Cai made a signal, and the guards brought the man in front of the emperor, and forced him to kneel down by pressing his head.The emperor stretched out his hand to stop it, and said: "Do you know that I have been waiting for a long time to see you."

A look of surprise flashed across the man's face, but he didn't speak.

The emperor didn't care, and continued: "I think you are all orphans. You were trained as killers since you were young and worked for them. I heard that some of you were poisoned to death when you were caught. If our people hadn't prepared in advance, You are dead now."

The man snorted coldly and said: "The person who is arrested should be a dead person. If he can escape for a while, he will not escape for a lifetime."

The emperor said: "If I say, let you escape forever?"

The man looked at the emperor suspiciously.

The emperor said: "Although you are all doing shady business, I know that you are not vicious by nature, but have been trained. But your loyalty to the organization, whether it is forced or from the heart, I admire. .Since you said that you will die no matter what you are arrested, then you were already dead when you were arrested, and now you have been reborn."

The man asked, "What do you mean?"

Wu Cai said angrily, "Bold, how dare you speak out against me?"

The emperor said: "It's okay, I think I traveled outside for a while before I ascended the throne, and it seemed very kind to call you and me at that time. On the contrary, I have never heard this word again in this position. I want you people to be my Your guards, you don’t have names in the palace, and the outside world won’t know of your existence, your task is to fulfill my orders to you and protect my safety.”

The man said, "It's just changing from one master to another, what's the difference?"

The emperor said: "It's different. You don't have a name card. It's temporary. When the time is right, I will let you see the light of day, give you a name, and even an official position. Let you stand under the sun dignifiedly. But the premise is that you must to live through this time."

Several people looked at each other, their expressions became lively.The leader said: "I heard books when I was young, and the book said that some emperors killed donkeys and crossed rivers to tear down bridges. How do I know that you are not such an emperor?"

The emperor smiled and said: "This is a bit troublesome. I can't prove it before the time comes. You can only choose to believe it."

The man said, "What if we don't believe it?"

The emperor said: "Then I will wait until you believe me. I have been waiting for so long. I don't care about waiting for a few more days."

The man was silent, and after a while he said, "I want to discuss it with them before making a decision."

The emperor stood up and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your news. If you have made a decision, tell the people outside."

Putting on his hat, he turned and left the room.

After leaving the courtyard, Wu Cai bowed his head, and the chief guard He explained: "If today's incident is leaked, no one in this courtyard will survive." Then he followed the emperor and left.

Leaving the internal guard, the emperor turned to the direction of Chunyi Pavilion. It seemed that there were not so many guards here. Wu Cai asked someone to open the door. When he entered, he saw that every door and window was guarded by a guard. When he saw the emperor , have bowed down.Qi Feng and Youran also came to see the emperor.The emperor found a seat and sat down before letting them flatten.

The emperor looked at Qi Feng and said: "Now that the arrow is on the line, you'd better have a countermeasure, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep you."

Qi Feng said: "There are countermeasures, but it will take some time."

"Oh? How long do you need?"

"Five days at most. Maybe sooner than that."

"Okay, I will give you time, but this time we are desperate, if we can't uproot it, there will be endless troubles."

"The emperor, the true dragon and the son of heaven, will surely save the day."

"You don't need to flatter me at this time."

"Your Majesty, you know that I always tell the truth."

"Okay, I believe you." The emperor stood up, took a quiet and leisurely look at the side, and turned to leave Chunyi Pavilion.

After leaving the Chunyi Pavilion, the chief guard was waiting outside. The emperor looked at his expression, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "After the second watch, let the chief come to my study."

After the head of the guard led the order, Wu realized that the leader had agreed to work for the emperor, but for some reason, the emperor's expression turned dark.

As the sky was getting dark, Qi Feng leisurely and the two of them were still sitting at the table. The palace sent someone to deliver food, bowls and chopsticks, and the guards had inspected them. They looked very carefully and made sure that there was no problem before letting them eat.After the meal, the guards left the room and went outside to guard, leaving only two people staring at each other.Although the room in Chunyi Pavilion is spacious, it only has a big bed, and it is inevitable to sleep on the same bed at night. Speaking of the two of them, Qi Feng rested beside him when he was leisurely and high fever, but facing a coma A healthy person and a sober person are, after all, different.

Qi Feng suddenly smiled and said: "After we got married, we have never been so close. I would like to thank the emperor for his blessing."

Youran blushed slightly, now that she was under the watchful eyes of the public, she might reveal her true gender at any time, this is indeed not the time to be rigid.

Nodding leisurely, she helped Qi Feng take off his coat, and after a brief wash, the two of them lay down one by one.Qi Feng had an injury on his back, so he could only lie on his side, while You Ran was lying on his back a little stiffly. Although after this day's tossing, the two of them did not feel sleepy.Although Youran didn't look sideways, she could feel Qi Feng's gaze on her, and her heart beat faster and faster.Qi Feng unscrupulously admired Youran's profile, but Youran suddenly turned around and looked at him, his eyes did not turn away at all.It made Qi Feng a little at a loss, and a red glow flew over Junyi's face.Seeing the embarrassment, You Ran couldn't help laughing.

Leisurely pulled up Qi Feng's hand and wrote: "Are you sure?"

Qi Fenghui wrote: "Do your best to obey the destiny. The worst result is that the fish dies and the net breaks. It's just a burden on you."

Leisurely smiled and wrote: "I jumped in by myself, there is nothing wrong with it."

Qi Feng wrote: "Do you regret it?"

Leisurely looked into Qi Feng's eyes and wrote: "Instead of living a mediocre life, it's better to go through such a vigorous life. What's more, I will walk with you and have no regrets."

Qi Feng clenched Youran's hand tightly, and the two of them talked a thousand words, but turned into silent gazes into each other's heart.

There was no mention of the spiritual communication between the two over there. At the second watch, the head of the guard brought the killer leader who had changed into a guard to the emperor's study.

Wu Cai came out of the study, and everyone else withdrew.Qi Lie looked at the leader who was still arrogant, and waved his hand to signal everyone in the room to leave. The chief guard and Wu Cai were stunned. Even though the man had agreed to the emperor's solicitation, it didn't mean he wouldn't turn against him. Isn't it dangerous to be alone?The emperor understood the concerns of the two, but still insisted on letting them go.Reluctantly, the two had no choice but to back out, but kept their ears up, in case something changed.

Watching the two retreat, he couldn't help re-examining the Ninth Five Lord in front of him. Is he sure that he won't hurt him, or is he confident that he can't hurt him?

Qi Lie asked: "You haven't told me your name yet. You will always have to address me in the future."

The man said: "We are all orphans, born without a name, only a title."

Qi Lie said: "Since you are going to leave them, how about I give you names?"

The man said: "Whatever."

Qi Lie said: "I saw that all of you are tall and straight, like pines and cypresses. Why don't you call them Qingsong after you are the leader?"

The man said: "Qingsong can."

Qi Lie said: "I will draw up the names of other people. I have one more thing I want to ask you when I call you today." Qi Lie took out a box from the cabinet next to it, opened it, and took out a note from it .Handing the note to Qingqing said, "Look, what's written on it."

He opened it easily and looked at it and said: "The fifteenth day of the fifth month of Ding Chou's year, Jingyue Temple, the person wearing the golden cicada, failed."

Qi Liedao took out the second one and handed it to Qingsong, Qingsong explained: "On the fifth day of the first month of the Wuyin Year, the Lantern Festival, the person wearing the golden cicada will be successful."

Qi Lie snapped the box shut, stared at Qingsong, the hair on his head jumped.The chief guard and Wu Cai rushed in when they heard the movement, Qi Lie said angrily: "Go out, don't come in without orders."

The two of them retreated quietly again.

Qi Lie stared at Qingsong and asked: "Is it written on it who hired it?"

Qingsong said: "I won't write it here, but there will be one at the chief's place."

Qi Lie sneered and said, "It seems that I'm going to invite him too."

Qingsong remained silent, Qi Lie sat down and said, "Aside from you and I, there shouldn't be a third person in the palace who knows about this note, right?"

Qingsong said: "Unless they are hired, there won't be any."

Qi Lie smiled and said, "Are you guys good at acting?"

Qingsong didn't answer.Qi Lie said: "You don't need to be good at acting, you can do fake plays for real. Come here, and I'll tell you how to do it."
