Chapter 92

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Ximen Yao's rude and polite reply, although his manner was neither humble nor overbearing, and his conversation was elegant, but the queen mother always felt that there was some restless factor in him, the kind that made her fear and panic.

"I heard that Mr. Ximen helped the emperor last time and is about to leave Yanjing. The Ai family is looking for Mr. today. They just want to ask Mr. for something, and want Mr. to stay and help the new emperor. I don't know what Mr. will do?"

With a leisurely and charming smile, she leaned slightly crookedly on the side of the stone table, with an autumn-colored embroidered cushion under her elbows, lazy and charming.

Even though she is old, she is still magnificent. When she was young, she must have been a confidante. No man would be able to escape her tenderness. Even a wise man with a heart full of responsibility for the world would be no exception. , Ximen Key's eyes darkened a little, and he clasped his fists and said respectfully.

"You are being polite, Queen Mother. Ximen Key has no intention of helping anyone, but only wants to hide in the wilderness. This time, he came to the palace because he did not want to owe anyone favors."

"Thousands of fertile fields, so many beauties, thousands of households, isn't this wealth and wealth enough to keep Mr.? How many people dream of something, as long as Mr. speaks, he will be dressed in a robe, superior to others, and become a master." gone."

The breeze blows over the Xiaoye Pavilion, and the fragrant tobacco is burning in the furnace, swirling elegantly.

The Queen Mother's words were no less than gold ingots falling from the sky out of thin air, smashing them in front of Ximen Key.

It's a pity that this handsome and handsome man didn't change his face at all, and stood up straight: "The empress dowager is looking up, Ximen can't afford such a heavy responsibility, he has high expectations, Ximen is a little tired, and the tea is ready, let's go first Retire."

The queen mother squinted her eyes, and the narrow and cold light fell on the tall and straight figure through the slightly lifted eyelids, and it took a long time before she said: "Since you are tired, sir..." Turn around and order the flat on the side Aunt: "Let Xiao Linzi send eunuchs to send some larks over later, and don't forget to send a small can of old snow water."

"Yes, ma'am."

Ximen Yaoxin's long body leaped away, the light gauze brushed over his broad shoulders, adding a bit of coldness and determination, resolute and aloof, like a wounded wolf in the wild. There was a touch of crystal, and the person quickly left.

Aunt Ping walked out of the pavilion and ordered the eunuch to deliver the tea and snow water, then turned and walked into the pavilion.

I saw the queen mother sipping tea with a solemn face, and called out of the pavilion: "Coffee leaves."

A woman in palace attire, with a cold face, slowly clasped her fists: "What is your order?"

"Pay attention to Ximen Key, if he makes any movement, report it to Aijia immediately."

"Yes, ma'am."

Ka Ye is still a master of invisibility around the Queen Mother. She has been lurking by her side to do things for her, and her methods are very pungent. She is a killer cultivated by Ye Qingtian and sent to the palace to protect the Queen Mother. For so many years, she has been doing her best. won the trust of the Queen Mother.

"Go."

The Queen Mother waved her hand, and Ka Ye withdrew, only Aunt Ping was in the pavilion, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said lightly, "Madam, is there a problem with Mr. Ximen?"

"I hope he's okay, otherwise Aijia won't let him off lightly, but Aijia's intuition is that he is not as safe as he appears on the surface. Recently, there have been successive incidents in the palace. Aijia suspects that he has something to do with it. Otherwise, it would be too coincidental for him to come."

"Your Majesty is very worried, the wind is getting strong, let's go back."

"Hmm..." Aunt Ping stretched out her hand to support the Empress Dowager, and walked out, the eunuchs and maids kneeling on the ground outside the pavilion said, "Respectfully send off the Empress Dowager."

"Get up..." A cold voice sounded, and the person had already walked away.

As soon as Ximen Key came back from Xiaoye Pavilion, he saw a group of guards parked in front of Qingfeng Pavilion. The leader was actually Shangguan Lin, and beside him was a man in a red official uniform. At first glance, he was the commander of the guards in the palace. Standing neatly under the stone steps, waiting for him.

"Mr. Simon is back."

Shangguan Lin clasped his fists and spoke respectfully, but Song Yuan on one side was somewhat disapproving and raised his hand slightly. He couldn't like these charlatans and the like, and always felt that he was one with those liars.

"Lord Lin, this is it?"

"Last night, someone in the palace drugged the concubines in the harem. The emperor issued an order to search the harem to find out the suspicious person, so I came to disturb Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang Haihan."

"Oh, so that's how it is. You can search it. By the way, report back to the emperor and say that Ximen Key should go."

As soon as the Ximen key fell, Shangguanlin and Song Yuan were stunned. What does this Ximen key mean? He agreed to their search, but secretly threatened them by coming?
Song Yuan's complexion immediately turned ugly, pointing at the back of the stepping up the stone steps, he shouted angrily: "Do you think we dare not search?"

"Please..." Ximen Key said far away, calm and indifferent, as if he had no intention of embarrassing them.

Shangguan Lin was different from Song Yuan, knowing that Ximen Yao still held some weight in the heart of the emperor, so Song Yuan was reckless, and hurriedly took his hand to stop him: "Song Yuan, don't be rude."

The crowd watched Ximen Key walk into the main residence, Shangguanlin immediately ordered his guards: "Mu Li, go to Jingfu Palace and report to the emperor immediately, saying that Mr. Ximen is leaving."

If this man really left in a fit of anger, the emperor would definitely be angry, and they really lost more than they gained?
Mu Li took the order to ask for instructions.And all of them stood in front of the Qingfeng Pavilion in disobedience. Song Yuanjunyi's face was covered with frost, and he was very angry. Let him stand, he is fine, but let the prince just stand like this, then Ximen Key Why is he so arrogant, just because the emperor favors him?Then the prince is also the emperor's right-hand man.

"My lord, let's go in and search directly. Don't forget that Ximen Key is just a commoner in the world. Why should he be arrogant and arrogant? It's really hateful."

"Song Yuan, please be quiet."

Shangguan Lin was already in a bad mood, but when he was provoked by Song Yuan's words, his heart became even more angry. The cold air all over his body made him look coldly at the Qingfeng Pavilion with its carved beams and paintings, but his feet did not move at all.

However, the emperor soon came over in a sedan chair, and a mighty group of eunuchs and court ladies all stopped in the open space in front of Qingfeng Pavilion.

Everyone hurriedly knelt down to greet the emperor: "I have seen the emperor."

"The slave (servant) has seen the emperor."

"Get up..." Shangguan Yao waved his hand, the bright yellow golden crown shook dazzling lines, and his face was gloomy and unrecognizable. He was already in a cold mood today, but this kind of thing happened, and his tone became more and more gloomy: "What happened?"

Shangguan Yao asked Lord Lin in a deep voice.

Before Lord Lin could reply, a slender figure came out and stood by Menfei. He was dressed in a white brocade robe, and his narrow and deep eyes swept away the usual indifference, but revealed a faint coldness. His thick black hair was tied up with white jade hairpins, his thin lips were tightly pressed, and he spoke softly after a long time.
