Chapter 586 Squire Qu, the Emperor has sent you in
Liu Lanxin knew that it was useless to say anything at this time, so she could only stand up with tears in her eyes and follow the two guards to leave.
Two other guards came over, one for each of them, and took Noble Consort He and Empress Dowager’s people away.
Although Qu Mo Ying’s eyes were closed, she had been paying attention to the movements in her ears, and when she heard that those people had left, her watery eyes opened, so she wanted to see what was going on outside.
Pei Yuanjun laughed softly, his fingers sliding over the top of her cheeks, his head lowered, his voice right in her ear, “Since you’ve fainted, just fainted for a little while longer is all.”
Long fingers slid over her soft cheek, rippling with an inexplicable wariness.
Qu Mo Ying’s white face, immediately red, but since it is fainted, at this time it is inconvenient to get up again, can only grit his teeth and bear it, a move did not dare to move more.
Things happened too fast, so much so that her heartbeat is still intensified until now, before just vaguely feel that Liu Lanxin is dealing with herself, very bad to herself, but now it is certain that Liu Lanxin is indeed hostile to herself, and it is still great hostility, to destroy their own kind.
The moment of the party, the flash of electricity and sparks, seemed to be a real accident.
The cat saw Pei Yuanjun struggling hissing and biting in general, Liu Lanxin was afraid of the hand loose, the cat scurried out, crashed into the front of his own, he sat on the stool, not enough to get up, the people around him were far away, the only near only Pei Yuanjun, but he is such a person will not be able to reach out.
The end result, then, is that one’s face is scratched and very likely disfigured.
This cat was able to scratch Beauty Li’s face like this in her frenzy in the first place, and it was equally possible now, even if the cat pounced on her with more than just a single lunge of her own.
Liu Lanxin seemed to be flustered at that time, in fact, it should also be the water to push the boat, otherwise the cat is both frenzied, it is impossible to be frenzied to this point, and even more impossible to be right in front of their face, obviously she was facing Pei Yuanjun.
Just this kind of thing, is the need for evidence, as long as Liu Lanxin bite dead that cat is their own jump out, no relationship with her, this matter can not be forced on her head.
Auxiliary generals only have a daughter, loved as a treasure, in the absence of evidence, who could not possibly cure her crime, the incident was sudden, she is a smooth water, so their own situation at that time, even if they were destroyed, but also in vain, it is impossible to let Liu Lanxin to their own crime.
On the one hand, there’s no evidence, and on the other hand, there’s not enough status.
And right now, she just don’t want to come together again in front of the Empress, all the people involved, her identity is the lowest, is likely to suffer from the disaster of the fish, who she can’t afford to offend.
There are too many coincidences in this matter, it is obvious that someone is secretly laying out, and there is more than one, this cat is He Guifei’s …
Pei Yuanjun’s fingers lightly swabbed the top of Qu Mo Ying’s cheeks twice more before raising his head, “Help Fourth Miss Qu to rest inside first, and announce the Imperial Doctor to come over.”
Sister Yan and Yu Dong rushed forward and took Qu Mo Ying from Pei Yuan Jun’s arms, half-supporting and half-carrying her into the main house in the courtyard, which was now also the resting place where Pei Yuan Jun had come over to check on in past days.
After arranging everything, Pei Yuanjun resumed his seat, his fingers leisurely tapping twice on the desktop, and thought for a moment before ordering, “Go and ask Servant Qu to come over.”
“Yes!” A chamberlain hurriedly left and brought Qu Zhizhen over shortly afterward.
Qu Zhizhen these days into the palace, is in the repair of this long spring palace, every time is physically and conscientiously.
“Your Highness.” After Qu Zhizhen entered and saluted, his eyes unconsciously swept over the puddle of blood at the pillar on one side, his eyes suddenly twitched, he didn’t know about what happened here just now, and this courtyard wasn’t a place that he could investigate just because he wanted to.
It wasn’t just this one courtyard, ever since he had entered the palace, Qu Zhizhen had been very careful not to spy on people or things in the palace.
“Earlier you asked about the matter of the inner chamber of the main hall, this king feels that today’s weather is good, counting it as an auspicious day, so he can send someone to clean it up.” Pei Yuanjun’s eyes narrowed slightly, the bottom of his eyes deep as he looked at Qu Zhizhen and suddenly smiled.
Qu Zhizhen’s heart surged and he hurriedly said, “The king did not allow his subordinate to clean the inner palace’s main room before, but now it’s okay?”
Only after the inventory can it be restored again, things were originally quite smooth, but when cleaning the inner hall, it was stopped by Pei Yuanjun, who said that it was the place of the Yuan queen, it was not something that could be cleaned just because he wanted to clean it, and he always had to find a lucky day to stop Qu Zhizhen.
Pei Yuanjun said the words, Qu Zhizhen how dare to disobey, can only respond, so this inner hall has not been cleaned up, remains the same as that day.
But actually saying it was the look of the day is actually a bit of a stretch.
After the queen was sent to the cold palace, here everything is very low, many good things have long been gone, the rest of those who can not move, like beds and other things, as well as shelves heavy, very simple a few pieces, clean up is also very convenient, do not need an hour.
Such a simple thing but Pei Yuanjun called a halt, making the project hindered here, even if the other places are all ready in the end, this one is not ready, it is still not good.
“Your Majesty, my humble servant will go and take care of this matter right now.” Hearing Pei Yuanjun’s relief, Qu Zhizhen’s spirit was lifted.
Pei Yuanjun smiled and nodded, “I’m grateful to Servant Qu, hurry up and go check it out, check it out more clearly, I heard that Empress Yuan was leaving something behind that day.”
“Yes!” Qu Zhizhen was so jittery that he didn’t dare to listen to this as idle talk.
Turn back to bring people to clean up the time, check especially clear, really in the bed under the bed to get a small box, a very small box, just tightly affixed to the bed under the board, with nails, if not to turn up the bed board, the whole bed are upside down, but also really will not find this inside a small box.
Not a big brocade box, with dragons and phoenixes carved on it, at a glance you know it’s from the palace.
The dust that had turned up at the bedpan, and the extent to which the nails had rusted, made it clear that the box had come from a long time ago, and was definitely not a present-day item.
Got such a thing, and also from under the bed of Queen Yuan, Qu Zhi Zhen was shocked, hurriedly and carefully wrapped the brocade box in a piece of brocade, did not dare to look at it carefully, and came to Pei Yuan Joon with the support.
The guards at the door didn’t let him in, only told him that Pei Yuanjun had gone to the imperial study, and that if he found anything, he could just send it directly to the emperor.
Qu Zhizhen did not dare to be slow, and turned to the imperial study with the brocade box in his hand in a hurry.
“Servant Qu, the Emperor has declared for you to enter.” After being reported, a chamberlain came out to announce him.
Qu Zhizhen entered the imperial study, respectfully kneeling and crouching on the ground, presenting the brocade box in his hands.
Li Quan came down from above, took it with the same care, placed it on top of the imperial case in front of the Emperor, stepped back two steps and stood to the side, bowing his head and not moving a muscle.
The room was quiet, so quiet that you could only hear the Emperor’s ragged breathing, and Qu Zhizhen was more and more afraid to raise his head.
It took a good half a minute to hear the Emperor’s voice from above, “Where did this come from?”
“It was taken down from underneath the phoenix couch in the inner room of the main hall of the Changchun Palace, it was nailed there with nails at the time, and if it wasn’t for this major cleanup, it’s unlikely that it would have been discovered.” Qu Zhizhen hurriedly said, one by one, not daring to leave out a single point.
“Under the phoenix couch …” The emperor’s voice is dark and deep, almost with a few hoarse tremors, his fingers reach over and gently touch on the top of the brocade box, the bottom of his eyes obscure, his body slightly trembling.
It took a good half a second for his hand to feel the lock on it, it was locked, there was no key.
This brocade box he has seen, is he gave to the queen of yuan, is when the queen of yuan into the palace to send out the gift, to the two of them have a special meaning, even if the past so many years, the emperor is still a glance to recognize.
“Is there anything else?” It took a good half a second before the Emperor asked again.
“No more, the other for the minister have been Charlie clear, there is nothing else.” Qu Zhizhen shook his head affirmatively, he was also afraid of omission at that time, purposely checked one more time, mainly because the Utopia County King is not a person who is good at fooling around, want to get a good word from him, he has to do a better job to be able to do so.
“You go down!” The Emperor’s voice was exhausted.
“Yes!” Qu Zhizhen stood up and backed up in a low voice, backed up to the door before turning around to leave, the atmosphere in the imperial study is too dull and depressing, to be outside the door Qu Zhizhen only breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and wiped his hand on his forehead, only a moment of time, the top of the forehead has already seen the sweat, the undershirt at the hidden sweat stains.
“Servant Qu actually came earlier than this king?” Only just wiping away the sweat stains on his forehead, the voice coming from his side scared him, hurriedly turning his head to see a line of people marching over from the side, one of the first people with wide sleeves and jade belts, his handsome face with a hint of an elegant smile, wasn’t it the Utopia County King Pei Yuanjun, who had asked him to clean up earlier?
It was too late to consider why Pei Yuanjun had come to the imperial study first, but instead came later than him, Qu Zhizhen hurried forward and saluted, “My humble servant has met His Majesty!”
“Got something?” Pei Yuanjun didn’t care much as he glanced with his eyes toward the imperial study with a lazy smile.
This is also really not afraid of the emperor, Qu Zhizhen can not help but nervous again, Utilitarian County King is not afraid, he is afraid of, the voice unconsciously lowered, “Fang has seen the emperor, found a small brocade box, but also presented to the emperor in front of the same.”
“Very good, a person who can do things.” Pei Yuanjun nodded appreciatively.
“Many thanks to Your Highness for valuing me.” Qu Zhizhen bowed his head.
“Then I would like to thank Servant Qu for continuing to go about your business, and after the Changchun Palace is restored, this king will definitely ask the emperor to give you a big credit.” Pei Yuanjun laughed.
“Many thanks, Your Majesty, this was originally what my humble servant should have done.” Qu Zhizhen hurriedly said.
Pei Yuanjun’s eyes stared at him, making him inexplicably a little nervous, both in front of the crown prince, Qu Zhizhen felt that he could keep his heart still like water, only in front of this utopian county king, the aura was too strong, every time he let himself cope with the imperfections, and his heart panicked for no reason.
Even if nothing happens, I feel bottomless.
“Then Servant Qu should go and get busy, this king is going to see the emperor.” Pei Yuanjun waved his body in disbelief and turned around to come towards the entrance of the Imperial Study Room.
A chamberlain was already waiting there to guide him inside …
