The punishment of the female imperial court

Chapter 205 Chess Pieces
Yu Qiansi was not afraid at all, and looked proud, just like that time in the Star Reaching Tower.

This is the truest appearance of the emperor now.

He is no longer the young child she once pitied, who lived in fear all day long in the dark night, nor is he a dispensable decoration in the court behind the throne.

"If Your Majesty ordered me to go and tell the young prince that Su Niang was to be kept, I would naturally not dare to resist. But even the faint king of the previous dynasty would not ignore the wishes of his courtiers and act arbitrarily. Before Su Niang's identity is unknown, she will never Don’t follow the Holy Spirit.”

Boyi looked at the somewhat unfamiliar Jiang Jiqing in front of him and was stunned for a moment, as if he had seen the emperor with an indiscernible expression on the throne ten years ago. Their eyebrows gradually overlapped, making him feel a sticky discomfort in his heart.

"Your Majesty, I would like to stay in the Seven Buddhas City to protect Su Niang. After Su Niang's identity is thoroughly investigated, I will take Su Niang to the imperial mausoleum." Boyi bowed and asked for orders.

But Jiang Qing was unmoved.

Boyi's heart gradually sank. Silence meant rejection. Jiang Jiqing thought that he had classified himself into the Duke of Qi's faction. To categorize it this way, is it because you simply don’t trust yourself? Still don’t trust the Feng family?

The twilight is dull and lazy, tired of this stalemate and drama, and slowly covers everything with the darkness, no longer paying attention to it.

Deming walked over quickly and reported: "Your Majesty, Master Guo has been asked to see you."

Jiang Jiqing withdrew his gaze and looked at the increasingly bright lights of Wanjia. Guo Xinyi usually had some unclear relationships with the Duke of Qi and the Cheng family's old party, and was wavering. He is the slipperiest old fox. When he comes to look for him at this time, he must have achieved his goal today.

He smiled lazily, raised his hand casually, and said, "Xuan."

When Deming took the order and left, Jiang Jiqing ordered Boyi to get up, but did not order the two of them to stay away.

Boyi had no choice but to take a few steps back and stand with Yu Qiansi.

Jiang Jiqing turned away from the two of them and only stared at the corner of the stairs with his head tilted. Yu Qiansi couldn't see his expression, but felt that the back looked comfortable. Like a satiated vicious dog, lazily basking in the moonlight.

"I pay homage to Your Majesty."

After a few simple and polite courtesies, Guo Xinyi went straight to the point: "Just now, the young prince summoned me to discuss how to place the girl in the family. Now there are still a few details that need to be discussed with His Majesty."

Jiang Jiqing smiled sarcastically when Guo Xinyi leaned over.

It is indeed an old fox. It was obvious that he was a peacemaker because of Wang Song's favor, but he did not forget to secretly praise Wang Song in his words. It’s true that no one can be offended.

Yu Qiansi's casual smile suddenly turned cold, and she raised her head and stared at the back of the emperor in regular clothes.

Jiang Jiqing didn't know if he noticed the eyes behind him, so he turned his head and pointedly said: "I know that my cousin must be a compassionate person."

Guo Xinyi only said that "having pity on the fragrance and cherishing the jade" was referring to the peasant girl, and she didn't dare to comment at all, so she casually mumbled it.

Yu Qiansi closed his eyes. If he didn't know that he had been tricked now, he would be hopelessly stupid. She smiled sarcastically to herself, bowed hastily, and said, "Your Majesty, please excuse me."

He turned around and left without even making an excuse. When Boyi saw this, he didn't care about anything else. He bowed absently and chased Yu Qiansi downstairs.

He looked at the angry figure running aimlessly in the night, and his eyes were full of pity.

He exerted all his strength to barely catch up with her. Seeing that Yu Qiansi was trying to dodge, he had to grab her arm, but he didn't dare to use force: "Aru, it's not worth getting angry at him." Yu Qiansi looked at the bright eyes in the dark night staring at her. She felt very tired for no reason and slowly dropped her shoulders.

"I originally thought that he knew who I was. If I pretended not to know the purpose behind his trip and pretended to be moved by the past, he would be even more suspicious of the young master's intentions. That's why I deliberately contradicted him. It’s a breath of evil.”

But she didn't expect that when she went to see Jiang Jiqing, the outcome was decided.

No matter how this meeting goes, the young master will definitely take action and ask Su Niang to accompany him.

Yu Qiansi felt unprecedentedly powerless and frustrated.

She had obviously been studying hard and calculating, but in the end, she still became a chess piece in the hands of the emperor.

Only then did she realize how ignorant and ridiculous she was, who had previously dismissed the court's calculations.

She thought that everything in the Criminal Division was obtained by her own intelligence, but now she understands that without the support of the big tree of Qi Guogong Mansion, she would not be able to use all her abilities.

"Looking on the bright side, you finally used your bad breath. It's better than finding out all this after you pretended to flatter me." Boyi covered up the pity in his heart and smiled.

"Don't worry, I will pay more attention to Su Niang along the way."

A few simple words today show that she has a lot of thoughts on her mind, and they are all about court matters. She must have had a very hard time these ten days.

But Yu Qiansi shook his head and disapproved: "You were trained in the northwest and fought against the enemy. You should know better than me what the wind and the crane can do to those who are facing battle."

Now Su Niang is just a cause for worry. No matter whether this person really has a problem or not, they have to stay vigilant at all times. If things go on like this, even those who fight with iron will not be able to bear it.

Jiang Jiqing was still young, so even if he broke his skin today, he still had to rely on the Duke of Qi to balance the forces of all parties. Jiang Jiqing also understood the truth, so he dared to let himself argue with him. The threats here can be put aside for now.

"I don't like to be passive." Only by knowing the purpose of the people in the dark can we prepare ourselves one step ahead of these people and wait for work.

Yu Qiansi looked at Boyi, how she should deal with it all depends on Boyi's trip.

Boyi also thought of this. He was busy with things today and finally had a moment alone for the two of them. He looked around and then said seriously: "Find a place to talk first."

"You mean, the Feng family has really lost someone?" Yu Qian caressed Yuli Qiankun, not forgetting to observe the surroundings.

At this moment, the two of them were sitting on the roof of the Main Hall of the Seven Buddhas Temple. The view was vast, and the monks in the temple were temporarily detained. With the sky as a curtain, it was a good place to chat about secret matters.

What Boyi told her was not much different from what he told the young master before. However, there is naturally no part where he secretly follows the thief and fights with the thief.

"I'm thinking the same thing as you. There must be some kind of agreement between the Feng family and a more secretive force. They must have some purpose in mind to mess up the situation when the adoptive father is making a deal with His Majesty."

Having said this, Boyi paused and said hesitantly: "Aru, I didn't know the Feng family's plan in advance. I only noticed something unusual when I suddenly saw people from the Feng family appearing in the side alley. You can trust me."
