Xie Zhe looked back at the emperor in disbelief.

The emperor who had always watched the fire from the other side, leisurely and leisurely, also had an expression as if he had been struck by lightning.

He actually wore it around his neck.

Of course he knew why Xie Caiqing said that, but...

The emperor's expression changed unpredictably.

Here King Qi woke up from the initial shock.

Someone actually got there first!

He looked at Xie Caiqing who was clean on the surface but actually been touched by someone secretly, Xie Caiqing who pretended to be ashamed by others for others, Xie Caiqing who was wearing other people's things and belonging to others. Not his but also uncomfortable.

He wanted to smash the wall angrily, suddenly calmed down, and sneered: "Aren't you afraid that you are lying to me? It's okay to deceive others, but you think I'm a fool? Do you think you can escape by doing this?"

He stared at Xie Caiqing closely.

Although the person in front of him looked like a frightened white-haired rabbit, its fur was trembling violently, but its eyes didn't flicker at all, it didn't look like it was lying, it seemed that the embarrassment became more intense, and its face became more rosy, like the color after being soaked in lust.

He seemed to hold back his shame, and held the jade: "It's true. If you don't believe me, look at it. You may not know it. Caiqing's family is poor, so you can't afford this thing. If you don't believe me, you can go and find out."

King Qi's heart sank, he wasn't stupid, he knew how cruel his uncle was, no matter how obsessed he was, under the watchful eyes of Chang Lingwei in the Imperial City of Kyoto, he couldn't have acted rashly without inquiring clearly.

All these years his uncle didn't punish him, it's just because he knows who can touch him, and he can't touch anyone no matter how he likes, and he never caused trouble for his uncle.

Uncle has a lot to do every day, so of course he doesn't have time to fix him.

He had already investigated Xie Caiqing thoroughly, even the three generations of his ancestors, relatives and friends, and he came here only after making sure that he could handle it properly and that there was no risk at all.

But if it is true what he said...

With the light from the pagoda, King Qi carefully looked at the piece of jade in Xie Cai's hand, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.

Sheep fat white jade, let alone a thousand taels, the annual expenditure of ordinary people is only a few taels of silver, Xie Caiqing cannot afford to buy it.

It can't be fake either, the luster and fineness are among the best among suet white jade.

Those who give things are either rich or expensive.

Merchants in the district dare not take the idea of ​​Zhuangyuanlang, and Zhuangyuanlang can't possibly like it. That person dares to give such a valuable thing blatantly, and he is not afraid of being caught by Chang Lingwei for corruption. To the third grade or above.

King Qi felt a little apprehensive, the officials in this position are all old foxes, and they have a lot of abilities, it's really annoying.

It's a blank sheet of paper, as if it was given to him by God to slowly develop and develop. There is an inexplicable blemish on it, which is a price drop and an embarrassment, but let's stop here...

He can no longer find his appearance and body so attractive, and the taste is as ecstasy as can be imagined.

He looked at Zhuangyuan Lang, who was so ashamed because of the exposure of the scandal, his blood and anger surged up for a moment, and for the first time he felt competitive, and asked through gritted teeth, "Who is it?"

"...Caiqing, Caiqing can't say anything." Xie Caiqing held Yu tightly, turning his face away.

Xie Zhe quietly looked at the emperor whose expression had changed since Xie Caiqing said that sentence.

Even after serving for many years, he still has no idea what His Majesty is thinking.

That jade Xie Caiqing couldn't possibly know that it belonged to the emperor, and he probably wore it out of love and protection, and also because he was afraid of being seen by others and causing unnecessary suspicion, but... it was the emperor's personal belongings.

It's extremely clever to deceive King Qi in order to escape and adapt to the situation, but... why did he burn the emperor?

That... that kind of words.

His Majesty said nothing.

Xie Zhe was terrified, not sure if he was shocked or angry, or something else, he lowered his head, unintentionally looking at a certain secretive position, his expression suddenly froze, his eyes almost doubled in size, and his own complexion changed accordingly Unpredictable, he lowered his head blushingly, his eyes drifted, and his voice was like a mosquito: "Your Majesty... this... this... this..."

He is the closest.

But definitely not to him, he has served His Majesty for so many years, and he has not had this kind of blessing... blessing.

A blessing that is frighteningly large even through the clothes.

On the contrary, the emperor looked indifferent and lazily, and said with his lips: "I'm twenty-four, and people tease you with your eyelids and ears, and you still haven't responded, so there is something wrong."

"...Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise and mighty." Xie Zhe blushed a lot, he was also a man, and he was secretly ashamed of himself.

Suddenly remembering that Xie Caiqing was also a man, he felt a little scared, and took a step cautiously.

Xiao Yun pulled the hem of his robe.

As soon as Xie Caiqing said this, the emperor couldn't go out, and there was no need to go out.

As long as King Qi loses his temper and makes him faint, he is bound to throw a mouse trick, and it is impossible to pester him in a short time.

Xiao Yun was about to call Xie Zhe back, when King Qi spoke again.

"Tell this king, who is it? This king promises not to say anything, you just need to tell this king, and this king will let you go immediately, otherwise..."

He leaned closer to Xie Caiqing's ear: "They will come up soon, does Zhuangyuan Lang want them to see your current appearance?"

Xie Caiqing's complexion was as white as paper, and she only clenched her lips tightly, as if she would rather be humiliated than speak.

Seeing his reaction, the jealousy in King Qi's eyes frantically surged, and his tone was harsh and sarcastic: "What's the matter, how powerful is he? Let Zhuangyuan Lang open his legs willingly to come to this king with him, and he would rather die than surrender? He was born with this king. Okay?"

"...Your Majesty, be careful with your words." Xie Caiqing had no way to retreat, still clinging to the wall stubbornly, as if wanting to stay away from him.

King Qi was furious, his smile became brighter, and he wanted to get closer: "Don't be an old man, I'm afraid he will kill you if you tell him? He is so old, can he get up? Or is he taking medicine? "

Xiao Yun seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Xie Zhe's heart skipped a beat, King Qi thought he didn't die fast enough.

Every time he said a word, Xie Caiqing lowered his head a little bit.

"Don't be afraid of him. He is a subject, and I am a prince. It is not good for him to get this kind of thing out. He is more afraid than this king. You tell this king, this king protects you, and this king will not treat you badly because of this." Your... tell me, he's—"

A slight cough came from not far away.

Zhuangyuan Lang's pupils shrank, King Qi felt guilty and turned his head abruptly.

Taking advantage of his turning back, Zhuangyuan Lang bent over his arm lying in front of him, hurriedly straightened his clothes and ran upstairs, ran to the corner of the stairs, suddenly bumped into a broad and hard chest, a staggered Reeling, being swept away by others.

Zhuangyuan Lang froze all over, suddenly raised his head, and met a pair of bottomless black eyes, his face suddenly lost all color.

Xie Zhe was shocked, his face darkened.

Xiao Yun's expression was as usual, and he calmly helped the person and pushed him away, keeping a distance from himself.

Over there, King Qi chased after him angrily: "How dare you—"

When he saw the person standing at the top of the stairs, his face was as white as paper, his legs were weak, and he was about to kneel down and beg for mercy. He managed to wake up, and forced a smile: "Uncle...uncle...uncle, why are you here?"

"See the county king." Xie Zhe said respectfully.

"Is Rong Yu here?" Xiao Yun said.

Zhuangyuan Lang hastily retreated a few steps, knelt down, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty forgive me."

Xiao Yun sized him up and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with Zhuangyuan Lang?"

Xie Zhe glanced secretly, saw that he was frowning accurately, and there was a bit of appropriate concern in his words, and boundless respect suddenly arose in his heart.

King Qi's heart stopped beating, and his legs began to tremble uncontrollably, not knowing whether his uncle and the commander had heard it.

Xie Caiqing remained silent.

During the long silence, King Qi slowly knelt down: "Uncle...uncle...uncle..."

"It was fine yesterday, why are you stuttering today?" The emperor seemed to be amused.

"uncle……"

Zhuangyuan Lang interrupted King Qi, and stabilized his voice: "Talihei, the humble minister fell behind, inevitably he was a little anxious, and he almost fell down when he walked, thanks to the arrival of the prince, he was disrespectful, Your Majesty forgives the sin. "

King Qi's eyes widened, as if relieved, his whole body was soaked in sweat unknowingly, as if he had died once.

Xiao Yun took a deep look at Xie Caiqing.

The person in front of him has changed from his previous dignified and reserved clothes, his clothes are messy, his lapels are wrinkled badly, the skin underneath is faintly visible, his belt is crooked, and there are marks of kneading and pulling on his hair.

A few strands of black hair fell from the corners of his temples and hung down the side of his face.

He was obviously bullied, and he didn't even calm down, but he lied without blinking.

An unexpected and expected choice.

"Is that so?" Xiao Yun looked at King Qi with a half-smile.

King Qi didn't dare to raise his head, and said in a trembling voice, "Yes—"

Xiao Yun said: "If not, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor."

King Qi suddenly fell silent, his whole body was shaking like chaff, and sweat was pouring down like rain.

These words... may have been heard, of course, it may be guessed because it doesn't look like it fell down...

His knees were bent and bent, straightened and straightened. In just ten seconds, he had already struggled back and forth several times, shaking his lips and saying, "Uncle..."

The emperor didn't look at him anymore, he didn't even bother to give him a look, instead he looked at Xie Caiqing: "Really?"

"Yes." Xie Caiqing pursed her lips tightly.

A huge stone weighing a thousand catties fell to the ground instantly in King Qi's heart.

Even if he is sensible, forgive him and dare not.

Xiao Yun was silent for a while: "That's it."

His eyes quietly fell on the hem of Zhuangyuanlang's clothes.

Zhuangyuan Lang hurriedly straightened the skirt, holding the piece of jade with his slender and soft fingers, guessing that he was just shaken from shock, his fingers trembled slightly, he stuffed it several times before stuffing it back into the skirt.
