The mad concubine of ancient martial arts who traveled through time

Chapter 267
"You, His Majesty looks cold on the surface, but is very kind in his heart. You must have displeased His Majesty by letting His Majesty see your little girl Feng Xiaolian." Lu Lingxuan reprimanded a few words in displeasure, Mu Xue Lin's tears flowed down from her eyes, and she called softly, "Aunt Zu... woo..."

"All right, all right! Don't cry! I'll go find His Majesty!" Mu Dipo stood up and strode out.Lu Lingxuan wanted Mu Xuelin to be favored by Xuan Shidu, but Mu Tipo was not optimistic about this matter from the beginning.Since she clearly knows that Xuelin looks like a certain person, this similar fake will only make Xuan Shidu disgusted.Mu Tipo understood this truth better than Lu Lingxuan.

"Stop! What's the use of going to His Majesty?" Lu Lingxuan stopped Mu Dipo. In her eyes, her son had caused a lot of trouble in the capital.If not, she wouldn't have to go through all the trouble to find Mu Xuelin.Mutipo replied carelessly: "Xuelin is my daughter, and Your Majesty is my son-in-law. Can't I, the head of the country, take care of my son-in-law for my daughter's affairs?" Then, Mutipo laughed and carried the bird cage he couldn't put it down. out. "Things that can't make a climate!" Lu Lingxuan cursed angrily, and then comforted Mu Xuelin: "Lin'er, don't worry, Your Majesty will forget about these things after a while. You go to build a good relationship with Feng Xiaolian, Walk around with the queen more. I will also talk to you about your majesty. Don't worry, with your grandma here, your majesty will not just ignore you like this!"

Because Mu Dipo is the son of Tai Ji Lu Lingxuan, there is no obstacle in entering and leaving Ruan Chen Palace.Xuan Shidu was reading the memorial before the case, when Mu Tipo showed a smug smile, strode in and knelt in front of the hall, and said loudly: "My minister, Mu Tipo, has seen Your Majesty!" "What's the matter?" Take it easy, Mutipo has never had any serious business looking for him.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I fell in love with the second young lady of Zhang Shilang's family at first sight, so I came here to ask His Majesty for a marriage!" Mu Tipo said loudly. With a "snap", Xuan Shidu slapped the table angrily, and said, "Ridiculous! No one in the capital knows about the fact that the second young miss of the Zhang family used a poem to express her love for the young master of the Li family. How dare you come here to ask for this?" a will!"

"Your Majesty doesn't know something!" Mu Tipo explained in a panic, "Mr. Li's family has several lovers in Liuxiang, Huajie, which hurt the heart of the second lady of the Zhang family. The story of the two people's love has been rumored to be a good story, but Ms. Zhang will not be happy. Although Mu Tipo has no talent and learning, she has a heart that can treat Ms. Zhang sincerely. I believe that Ms. Zhang will be much better with me than Mr. Li."

Xuan Shidu was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and asked a little confused: "You are not Miss Zhang, why do you think so?" Mutipo was full of confidence, and said: "Because women are fickle, and they can fall in love with each other over time. I am confident that I can protect Miss Zhang's glory for the first time, and I also believe that I can conquer her." Xuan Shidu's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he fell into his own thoughts.The smug look on the corner of Mutipo's mouth became even stronger, and she almost couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.

April is here, the weather is getting warmer, but there is a cool place in Ruan Zhuqi's room. "This flower is really strange. It has been blooming for so many days and there is no sign of decay!" Fu Qu looked at the "Seven-Color Glass" in amazement, admiring it endlessly.Ruan Zhuqi glanced at it, this flower is only beautiful at night, and it is really ordinary during the day, which can't arouse Ruan Zhuqi's interest.

"By the way, Elder Sister Xu, I heard from my father a few days ago that the prince might be coming back. Why is there no news these days?" Fu Que suddenly turned her attention away from the "Qise Liuli" and asked Ruan Zhuqi.Ruan Zhuqi frowned suspiciously, and suddenly there was a slight sound of leaves rubbing against each other. "Come out!" Ruan Zhuqi shouted loudly.

Qi Shu jumped down from a tree and knelt down in front of Ruan Zhuqi, holding a bowl of ice cubes in his hand. "Huh? Sister, I was going to ask, but I forgot about it just now. We don't have an ice cellar to store ice cubes in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. Where did sister get these ice cubes to grow flowers?" Fu Que pointed at Qi Shu's hand ice cubes.

"Well, it was sent by the palace." Ruan Zhuqi lied, then looked at Qi Shu's expression sharply, and said, "If you keep something from me, you don't have to stay by my side." Fu Que heard the words , looked at Ruan Zhuqi puzzled.There was a flash of struggle in Qi Shu's eyes. After thinking for a moment, he lowered his head and said, "Return to the master, the prince is in jail."

"What? You speak clearly!" Fu Que became impatient, and asked Qi Shu quickly.Qi Shu glanced at Ruan Zhuqi's expression, and continued: "The prince openly accepted bribes in the Jinyang army. His majesty issued an imperial decree this morning to send someone to arrest the prince and bring him back to Beijing for questioning." Accepting bribes!" Fu Qu jumped up anxiously, her eyes turned red.

"Fu Que, don't panic!" Ruan Zhuqi reassured Fu Que, and asked Qi Shu, "It has become common practice in the Northern Qi officialdom to accept bribes. Even if Qian Ao accepted bribes in Jinyang, Xuan Shidu would not send someone to arrest him He returned to Beijing. Is there any other reason here?" Qi Shu shook his head and said: "My subordinates have inquired about the master's considerations. But all sources only say that the prince has accepted bribes, and there is no other rumor."

"When will Qian Ao return to Beijing?"

"the day after tomorrow."

Fu Que and Ruan Zhuqi looked at each other, and walked towards Hu Luguang's study at the same time.The door of the study room was open, and through the window, Hu Luguang could be seen sitting in front of the desk, frowning.Ruan Zhuqi and Fu Que walked in quietly, but Hu Luguang didn't seem to see them. "My daughter has met her father." Ruan Zhuqi and Fu Que shouted in unison.

Hu Luguang came back to his senses and glanced at Ruan Zhuqi, his expression became very complicated. "Daddy..." Ruan Zhuqi was about to ask, but Hu Luguang shook his head and waved his hands, and said, "Liu Xu, don't ask anymore, General Gao has already pleaded guilty." Ruan Zhuqi was stunned, and there was no time to respond. "How is this possible!" Fu Que blurted out.

"It's a fact. General Gao has pleaded guilty and will be escorted back to Beijing soon." Hu Luguang's tone was full of regret.Ruan Zhuqi felt unbelievable, Qian Ao would not do such a thing, why did he admit it?After thinking about it, Ruan Zhuqi gritted her teeth and asked, "Does Daddy know how His Majesty will deal with Qian Ao?"

Hu Luguang glanced at Ruan Zhuqi with complex eyes, clenched his fists, and said, "I don't know, but if you go to the palace to beg the empress, there may be a chance." Ruan Zhuqi nodded suspiciously, and said: " In this way, I will trouble my father to make arrangements for Liu Xu, and I don't know when I will see the queen."

"My father has already agreed with the queen, there will be a palace carriage to pick you up tonight. Please tell your mother, stay with your mother for a few days, and wait for the news!" Hu Luguang stood up and looked at Outside the window, his back was facing Ruan Zhuqi.Ruan Zhuqi was a little puzzled. All this sounded too weird, and she felt like she had been pushed into a trap, but Hu Luguang and Hu Lulan would not harm her.With doubts, Ruan Zhuqi still accepted Hu Luguang's arrangement, no matter what, helping Qian Ao was the most important thing.

After dinner, a familiar carriage stopped at the gate of You Xiangfu.The car door opened, and Xuan Shidu appeared in front of Ruan Zhuqi dressed in civilian clothes.Xuan Shidu jumped out of the car, made a gesture of invitation, and said to Ruan Zhuqi with a smile: "At the order of the queen empress, I am here to pick up Miss Liu Xu to join her in the palace. Miss, please!"

Ruan Zhuqi looked at Hu Luguang suspiciously, but Hu Luguang acted as if he didn't know Xuan Shidu at all, and said to Liu Xu: "Liu Xu, you can follow this little brother to see your mother, and I will wait for you at home for my father." news." Ruan Zhuqi was even more puzzled, hesitated for a moment, said goodbye to Hu Luguang, and got into the car with Xuan Shidu's support.

As soon as the car door was closed, Xuan Shidu brought down a pot of freshly boiled water from the small stove, and asked Ruan Zhuqi like a servant: "Miss, here are Biluochun, Tieguanyin and Pu'er, what kind of tea would you like to drink?" Ruan Zhuqi Ignoring his tricks, he directly asked straight to the point: "What's going on? The matter of Qian Ao accepting bribes must not be true. You have to trust him."

Xuan Shidu's face changed slightly, he seemed displeased, but he still said in a gentle tone: "I don't believe it, but he admits it. Xu, what do you think I should do? I am the Son of Heaven, and he is always the one I played with since childhood. Big brother Qianao, I can't ignore the king's law for selfishness. You said it, I hope I can have a sense of responsibility, so this time you want me to let brother Qianao go?"

Ruan Zhuqi felt a little unbelievable, and argued: "Even if you want to be concerned about the country and the people, and you want to rectify your messy Northern Qi court, you shouldn't take Qian Ao first. Anyway, Qian Ao is yours." I don't know how you will deal with those real corrupt officials in the future, but this move is tantamount to cutting off your arms..."

"Then Xu also thinks that without Yan Qianao, I can't defend the Northern Qi Dynasty?" Xuan Shidu's complexion became extremely gloomy, and the fact that King Lanling's meritorious deeds became the master had already become his. The stalk in my heart.Maybe he doesn't care what others say, but he will. In Ruan Zhuqi's heart, he is no match for Qian Ao.

"Although I am mediocre, I am not a fool. If Yan Qianao is really innocent, I will find out and clear him up." After Xuan Shidu threw down this sentence slightly angrily, he never spoke again.After Xuan Shidu handed Ruan Zhuqi into the hands of Hu Lulan, he left without saying anything.It was late at night, after Hu Lulan arranged Ruan Zhuqi's residence, she asked her not to mention Qian Ao's matter for the time being.Ruan Zhuqi was even more surprised, she was clearly asked to beg Hu Lulan, why did she not let her mention this matter, so why did Hu Luguang arrange her to enter the palace?

The wind and rain at night, coupled with restless emotions, made people sleepless.Ruan Zhuqi got up from the bed, opened the window, put on a light coat, and sat quietly by the window.The rain is as thin as a cow's hair, beating gently on the leaves in the wind, making a rustling sound.The voice was originally extremely subtle, but it was amplified infinitely by Ruan Zhuqi's ears.The rustling sound spread into Ruan Zhuqi's heart bit by bit, and after the original irritability was amplified, it gradually calmed down again.
