Chapter 308
Seeing Huo Shijiu like this, Jiang Wu knew that he was genuinely angry, and it was no wonder that Huo Shijiu's feelings for the little emperor these years were not only the feelings of the emperor and his ministers, but also cultivated by watching the child grow up.If it were her, the child she brought up with her hands would have vicious thoughts repeatedly, and her character would gradually change, she would also lose her anger, and even feel that she had failed.

"Don't be so busy getting angry." Jiang Wusu stretched her hand over the black lacquered paulownia wood cloud pattern table, and held Huo Jiujiu's hand: "It's not up to you to control how the emperor likes to do things. You have tried your best gone."

Huo Shijiu patted the back of Jiang Wu's hand, nodded desolately: "I know, it's just in my heart... that's all, Miss Yang's safety is the most important thing now." Taking a deep breath, he stood up slowly with his hands on the armrest, Looking at Pei Hongfeng, whose face was flushed anxiously, "You can rest assured to wait for the news here, I will go to the palace to have a look now."

Pei Hongfeng was still thinking that if Huo Shijiu and Jiang Wu refused to help, what method would she use, whether to coerce or lure, if she threatened, would she be able to fight Cao Moran, if she was tempted, what would this powerful man lack.

With a thousand turns in his head, Pei Hongfeng only felt that he had moved all the brains he hadn't used for these years at once, but he never thought that he would be as happy as he promised.After all, Jiang Wu and Yang Xi are not very close, there is really no need for Huo Shijiu to affect the relationship between him and the emperor for an outsider.

Because it came so smoothly, Pei Hongfeng was a little suspicious.

Huo Shijiu could naturally see what Pei Hongfeng was thinking, and he didn't want to explain, so he called Cao Yu, and the two went out together.

Jiang Wu kept Pei Hongfeng by her side, calming her anxious emotions.

Although she couldn't guarantee that things would go well and that Huo Shijiu would be able to bring Yang Xi back, at least she told this girl not to be so nervous.

In the imperial study room, the little emperor felt that he had to lose patience.I never knew that there are such difficult women in the world. I thought that Jiang Wu was enough to cause headaches, but who knows that compared with soft and hard, the young richest man in front of me is even worse than Jiang Wu. Go one level higher.He couldn't understand, how could a girl who didn't have any hole cards and had no kung fu have the courage to lie to the emperor's words, but still prevent people from finding any mistakes to take her down.

Even the emperor can't impose a crime on her.That's all for others, Yang Xi's actions are too obvious here, so it's inevitable that it will be true.

Looking at the dignified woman standing with her head bowed, the little emperor searched in his mind for arguments that would allow Yang Xi to dig out his heart and lungs for him and Ningyuan to provide all the wealth of his family immediately, and for the money she would earn in the future to fully support Anbang's use of the country.But as soon as he looked up, he saw Jing Tong who was panicking down the corridor.

Seeing Jing Tong silently making a hand gesture, the little emperor's heart skipped a beat.

Huo Nineteen is here!
He was a little flustered, if Huo Shijiu asked, how would he answer?Could it be that he told his most trusted courtiers that, as an emperor, he was playing with common people's money?
But besides the panic, he also felt that even if Huo Shijiu found out, it wouldn't be a big deal.He wasn't doing it for himself. If he really got the money, it would be used for state affairs, and it wouldn't be used as a penny of his own money. He has nothing to be guilty of.

Presumably, if Huo Shijiu knew about it, he would agree with his approach and help him persuade Yang Xi, right?

Just as he was thinking, the voice of a servant saluting and greeting came from outside the hall, and then he saw Huo Shijiu, who was wearing a black arrow-sleeve gown with a white jade belt buckle, stepping in the door.

"Brother Ying is here." The little emperor smiled and said, "Sit down quickly. If there is anything to ask someone to come into the palace and tell me something, what are you doing here on a hot day? See You, you are all in black, and you are not too hot—Jing Tong, go and bring that iced sour plum soup to cool off the heat for Brother Ying."

"Your Majesty." Huo Shijiu bowed to the little emperor, and said with a smile, "Don't be busy, I will leave when I reply."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Huo Shijiu said: "Miss Yang is here with the emperor. I think the emperor wants to understand the people's sentiments, and wants to know who are the best merchants today, so that he can also understand the living conditions of the people. With such a humble heart, my minister I really admire and agree. It's just that it's not easy for Miss Yang to stay here for a long time."

Where did the little emperor think that Huo Shijiu came here to tell him this!He was still conceiving in his mind how to persuade Huo Jiujiu to help her win Yang Xi over, but unexpectedly, Huo Shijiu expressed his intention first.

"Why shouldn't you stay for a long time?" The little emperor raised the corners of his lips, "Brother Ying knows enough about my affairs, I just had a few words with Miss Yang here, and you arrived in time."

"The emperor is the ruler of the ministers, and the ministers will naturally do their best for the emperor's affairs." Huo Shijiu did not deny the meaning of the little emperor, didn't he just distort him and send someone to monitor him?If he really thinks so, even if he wears his mouth, the emperor will not believe it.

He really couldn't watch the little emperor being so arrogant and reckless, making mistakes again and again.

"You are very dedicated, but you are talking about why Miss Yang didn't stay for a long time?"

Huo Jiujiu said slowly: "After all, the daughter of a merchant, the emperor kept her for too long, and the emperor's statement will be damaged."

The little emperor choked, unexpectedly Huo Shijiu would think of this.He only thought about Yang Xi's money, and when he looked at Yang Xi's purple color, he was not much better than the beauties in his palace, not to mention that his background was not noble enough, and he himself was not humane, so he didn't think about it at all.Now that Huo Shijiu mentioned it, he felt the atmosphere and embarrassment. He thought that Huo Shijiu knew what was going on with him, so he still said such things.Didn't he come to tease him on purpose.

"I still have something to say with Miss Yang. As for whether my reputation is damaged or not, is it possible that there are still people who dare to question me behind my back?"

"Naturally no one would dare to question the emperor, but as the emperor, he must take care of the world's opinions." Huo Shijiu really wanted to teach the emperor well, but Yang Xi was here, he didn't want to do this in front of outsiders, and Seeing the little emperor's appearance of exploiting people's fat and people's fat and righteousness, I really want to ask him what is the difference between this and those corrupt officials below. out of the palace."

Ignoring the little emperor's reaction, Huo Jiujiu turned around and gave Cao Yu a wink.

Cao Yu understood immediately, and first signaled Yang Xi to follow him.

Yang Xi's back was already drenched with sweat, and now she was following Cao Yu, only to realize that her body was tense when she was talking to the little emperor just now, so she let out a sigh of relief and followed quickly.

The little emperor pursed his lips and stared at Huo Shijiu, and was about to ask him what he was thinking, but Huo Shijiu didn't even look at him, turned around and left with his hands folded.

"Your majesty, he, he..." Jing Tong pointed at the direction Huo Jiujiu left, his fingers seemed to be trembling due to the atmosphere: "Jin Ninghou is too rude!"

The little emperor was hesitant at first, but when Jing Tong said it, he couldn't hold back his anger, and he slapped the table and got up and chased him out.

Huo Shijiu and his party hadn't gone far, the little emperor was followed by a large group of palace people, and soon saw their backs.

The little emperor said: "Go, call Jin Ninghou!"

"Yes." Jing Tong saluted with the servant, trotted to chase Huo Shijiu, and shouted: "Jin Ninghou, the emperor is looking for you."

Huo Shijiu paused, and said in a low voice, "Mo Ran takes Miss Yang out first."

Cao Yu was very worried: "But the safety of Lord Hou..."

"I'm in the palace, what can the emperor do to me? You wait for me at the gate of the palace. Just listen to the news." After Huo Shijiu finished speaking, he turned back and walked towards the emperor.

Cao Yu stayed with Yang Xi, and left first as if flying.

The little emperor looked at Huo Shijiu who was coming towards him, and smiled angrily: "Brother Ying, what does this mean? Why, are you looking at that Miss Yang, and are you afraid that I will eat her? Or are you already secretly talking to me?" What agreement did Miss Yang have, worried that I would rob you of your livelihood?"

Huo Shijiu almost fell backward in anger.

"I don't remember teaching the emperor to behave like this. When you say such cruel words, do you really think so from the bottom of your heart, or is it out of anger?"

The little emperor also felt that what he said was a bit harsh, but he was unwilling to let go.

Huo Jiujiu lowered his eyes and said: "If the emperor really thinks that way, I can't do anything about it. You are as clear as a mirror in your heart. Although we have nothing to do, we still have to spend a lot of money to deal with the British princess." , but there is a way to be born, so how to steal the hard-earned money of the people so cleverly, and how is it different from those local people with "skin" and "overlord" in their names? Where have you read the sage books of the emperor over the years? Have you gone? As a king, if you take the lead like this, wouldn’t the whole court be lawless under the influence of others? How will you manage corrupt officials in the future?”

Huo Shijiu said so much in one breath, looking at the little emperor's face flushed with heat or anger, for a moment he felt that he was too tired to speak.

"That's all, I'll take my leave." Say it, turn around and leave.

This is the second time today that Huo Shijiu forcibly left without the emperor's permission.But this time, the little emperor couldn't show his face to keep him.

Although Huo Shijiu didn't save him face, but after thinking about it calmly, what he said was not wrong.

He felt that the distance between himself and Huo Jiu seemed to be getting farther and farther.Is it the psychological effect of his own guilty conscience, or are they really unable to go back to the past?

On the carriage, Yang Xi wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.Cao Yu stood outside and frowned, looking in the direction of the palace gate.

Yang Xi's voice came through the thin layer of window screen in summer.

"Thank you very much."

Cao Yu didn't turn his head back: "You don't need to thank you, Lord Hou brought you out this time at the risk of offending the emperor. If you want to thank you, you must thank Lord Hou later."

"But if it weren't for your face, Marquis Jin Ning might not be willing to enter the palace to save me."

"You're thinking too much." Cao Yu said lightly, "Even if it wasn't you, the Marquis would have taken care of this kind of thing. He can't stand the emperor acting like this."
