Chapter 352 Choosing a Concubine
"Father, it's okay to say!"

The old man's expression suddenly became solemn, "Five years ago, when the dam was just started to be built, a strange thing happened here. Many men in the village who went to help with the construction never came back. Not only our village, but other The village is also..."

"Don't you guys report to the police?"

The old man looked distressed, "Reporting to the official? Young Master, how many officials do you think can care about the life and death of our common people like you?"

"Those men who disappeared never came back, it's been five years..."

"In addition, there is another matter. One night five years ago, when I was out fishing, I suddenly saw a group of people who didn't know what was buried at the bottom of the dam. I thought it would be better to have less than one thing, so I kept silent."

"In the past few months, I have been recalling the situation at that time, and finally came up with some tricks. Underneath, I reckon those men are hiding!"

"This situation is very important, Dad. I'll go back and deal with it first. You can do your work. I'll go first."

On the way back, Meng Lianyi kept thinking, if they hid those people under the dam five years ago, why didn't the flood wash out those corpses this time?Or is there something else hidden at the bottom of the dam?

For example, silver?

If things like silver are exchanged into bank notes on a large scale, I'm afraid it will attract suspicion. The best way is to hide it...

However, if they really hid so much money under here, how would they get it out?

Don't they use it themselves?

All of this lingered in Meng Lianyi's heart like a mystery.

"Lin Feng, find some people with good water skills and go to the bottom of the dam to check. I want to know if there is a hole in there!"

At some point, Lin Feng came behind her.

"Yes, son!"

"be careful!"

"Young master, please rest assured, the subordinates know!"

"By the way, is there any news from Aunt Piao?"

"Auntie Piao's side is fine. With the emperor in charge, he has captured many thieves. However, none of them have been caught. In addition, Auntie Piao wants to ask you, the murderer who killed Xiaohua was clearly I have already found it, why do you still keep her?"

Meng Lianyi had an inexplicable smile on the corner of her mouth, "Lin Feng, if you kill her, they still have to work hard to send one in. If that's the case, why not keep her? Maybe it will be of great help to us then. !"

Countermeasures and so on, throughout the ages, have always been used!

The corners of Lin Feng's mouth twitched. Every time the young master wanted to plot against someone, he would always show such an inscrutable expression, which made people tremble all over.

"Lin Feng, what happened to him?"

This was the first time she thought of asking about his situation.After not seeing him for several months, she missed him so deeply that even she herself found it inconceivable!

Lin Feng rubbed his nose, and said a little hesitantly, "I'm looking for young master, just to tell you about the emperor's recent plan!"

Meng Lianyi raised her eyes, with doubts in her eyes.

"My lord, three days ago, the emperor issued a decree to select concubines from all over the country. As long as there are daughters in the family who are waiting to be married, they can enter the palace!"

Concubine?

She chewed these two words playfully, and Lin Feng was sure that she heard the meaning of the young master's gnashing of teeth.

"Young master, do you want to go back?"

Lin Feng asked tentatively.

For so long, when had he seen such a ferocious expression on the young master's face?

"Go back? What are you going to do?"

"Since he wants to choose a concubine, it's up to him to go, why should I care about him!"

"What are you still doing here? Why don't you hurry up and do your business?"

Poor Lin Feng just became her punching bag.

Of course, he dared not speak out, so he had to run away.Those who don't run at this time are fools!

"Xuanyuan Qi, you are doing well! Is it right to choose a concubine?"

"Since you are so enthusiastic, I don't want to express it, it seems unreasonable..."

Although there was a smile on her face, the smile didn't reach her eyes, and her eyes were full of coldness.

……

"Lord!"

"How about it, did they find you?"

A man's deep voice sounded.

"Please rest assured, my lord, the subordinates have escaped the interrogation safely, and they have already executed one person."

"That's good!"

"You are an important pawn that I have carefully arranged for many years. You must not make another move unless it is absolutely necessary!"

"Yes, my subordinates know!"

"Go back, don't arouse their suspicion!"

In the black night, a woman's exquisite figure floated past, her lightness skill really should not be underestimated.

Not long after she left, two people walked out from behind a tree not far away, "Did you understand what she said?"

The latter nodded.

"Uncle Wang, closely monitor her every move!"

Wang Fu paused and nodded heavily.

Just because he recognized that woman as Sikong Piaoxue!

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, no matter what, I will not let her do anything wrong!"

Xuanyuan Qi patted his shoulder and didn't speak.

This kind of thing, the most embarrassing person is him.He has already said such words, how can he say more?
"Tomorrow is the concubine selection ceremony, the emperor should go back early to rest!"

Speaking of the Concubine Selection Ceremony, Xuanyuan Qi's expression darkened - he thought she should write a letter to scold him after hearing the news, but who knew that she not only didn't scold him, but even gave him a gift A dozen or so stunning beauties, in the euphemistic name of enriching his harem...

At that time, when he saw those women, his face turned green.

"It's all your bad idea. Now, I'm afraid she won't come back!"

Xuanyuan Qi was furious, the original intention of his decree was to force that woman back, who knew that she would be so happy that she would not want to leave?

Obviously things are almost the same there, but she just doesn't want to come back.And he, I don't know how many times he gave orders, but he just didn't see her come back...

For the hundredth time, he sighed that in this life, he had fallen on her body!
"Uncle Wang, do you think that if the emperor does not attend tomorrow's Concubine Selection Ceremony, will the scene be particularly spectacular?"

Wang Fu was taken aback, and looked at him in disbelief, "Your Majesty, don't you?"

"Hmph, in the Concubine Selection Ceremony, I didn't say I would choose a concubine for myself. Aren't there still a few princes and grandchildren in the palace who are not married? Whoever takes a fancy to whom!"

Wang Fu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Your Majesty, what you're doing is too much nonsense!"

It was a rare time for Xuanyuan Qi to be arrogant, his nose almost went up to the sky, "I am the emperor, of course I have the final say. Don't they dare to have any objections?"

"Then the emperor wants to?"

"I miss her!"

He figured it out, since she doesn't want to come back, it's the same for him to go looking for her!

Wang Fu knew about Meng Lianyi's identity.It is precisely because I know that I am worried, "Your Majesty, don't you shy away from her identity?"

"In my eyes, she is just her, no matter who her parents are!"

"I once thought about giving up, but she appeared in my life again. At that time, I told myself, this time, I must keep her by my side!"

"I know what she is afraid of in her heart. It doesn't matter. I will prove it all with actions. She looks quiet and indifferent, but she is actually hurt in her heart. After many years, the wound looks healed on the surface, but it is actually in a place that cannot be seen It's festering, but she doesn't care."

"Uncle Wang, I call you Uncle Wang because I treat you as a family member. I hope that during my absence, you can look after those people for me, and kill Wushe when necessary!"

Wang Fu was terrified, "Your Majesty, how can I be so trusted by you?"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely be careful. Your Majesty, I hope that when I come back this time, my Xuanyuan Kingdom will have a queen!"

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Qi smiled and held his forehead, as if thinking of her surprised expression when she saw him.

Wang Fu had never seen Xuanyuan Qi like this before.

It seems that this time, his emperor is really tempted!

"Uncle Wang, I'll leave the affairs of the palace to you, and I'm going to bring her back."

"It's so strange. I clearly haven't left yet, but I'm very excited, as if I saw her stunned expression! Now I understand that liking someone is such a gratifying thing!"

Wang Fu looked at his leaving figure. For so many years, he has been burdened with heavy burdens and never lived for himself. This time, it is the first time in his life that he will be self-willed. I hope everything is worth it!
"Your Majesty, it is very rare to have such a person in everyone's life. Don't be like me and regret the mistakes you have made until after things have changed!"

The most unsatisfactory thing in this world is that she is clearly in front of your eyes, within reach, but she is so close to you, that she has already become a person of two worlds!

During the concubine selection ceremony, the emperor disappeared, and the whole court was shocked.

It didn't take long for this matter to spread to Meng Lianyi.

At first, when she heard the news, she breathed a sigh of relief; after she realized it, she was furious—as the king of a country, he broke his word and slipped away, how will he convince the public in the future?
All along, he has always been an emperor in a well-regulated way. He should go to court early, and he should approve the scriptures. He never discounted the scriptures. Why is he so capricious this time?
Until ten days later, when she saw the man who was tired all over the world but still looked at her with a smile, she knew all the answers in her heart.

Seeing him, she tried to find her voice, "Why are you here?"

Xuanyuan Qi's yuppie smile was enough to captivate her heart, "You are here, so I am here!"

At that moment, she felt that a flower of time bloomed in her heart, which was warm and touching.

Regarding his words, she chose to sum it up in one sentence, but she still couldn't stop the turmoil in her heart.

……

On the hillside, they stood side by side, Meng Lianyi breathed the fresh air, and looked at him sideways, "How is it, how does it feel to walk away?"

"It's rare to be willful once, and it feels good!"

Three black lines slid down Meng Lianyi's forehead, listen, is this what the king of a country should say?
"To tell you the truth, this is the first time I have left the palace and come to Jiangnan!"

For some reason, she actually felt a little distressed!
Thinking about myself, for so many years, I have been wandering in the rivers and lakes. Although the life is a little hard, it is extremely comfortable.As for him, facing those difficult courtiers every day, staring at the excerpts that can make people crazy, how lonely his life must be... Lonely!
"This time, I will accompany you to see the scenery of Jiangnan!"

A strange light flashed in Xuanyuan Qi's eyes, but his voice was still so pleasant and clear, "Shuixiu Mountain has clear eyebrows and a long way to go. When I come back, I lean against the small pavilion window. The spring breeze doesn't understand the rain in the south of the Yangtze River. Smile and look at the rain alley to find guests to taste."

"I would like to see how beautiful the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is!"

She laughed softly and stretched out her hand, as if embracing the whole green mountains and green waters, her eyes were full of pride and ambition, "In this life, the day I want to live the most is to go boating on the lake overnight; build a thatched hut, plant a pond Lotus flower, enjoy the laughter in the world; hold one hand, laugh at the end of the world!"

He knows that she is different, as long as she is willing, it is enough to turn all living beings upside down.It's just that she seems to be more dazzling like this.

Facing her, he stretched out his hand to hold her shoulder, "A Meng, I came here not because you are my Xuanyuan Guoshi, nor because of your outstanding achievements, but because you are you. Mountains and rivers, I am willing to come, to the place where you are!"

"you……"

"You don't have to rush to reject me, just listen to me. I know you, long before you think you know each other." Looking at her surprised face, he lovingly touched her little face, smiling touchingly, "Then When you were young, you were like a mischievous elf who loved to tease people. I grew up so badly, but it was the first time I was teased. It seems difficult to forget you!"
