Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

Qingwen looked angry and amused. She also saw the eunuch holding Wu Qi glance at him with disgust. If the emperor hadn't been there, he would have wiped his hands with Wu Qi's clothes.

"I'm not worthy? Why am I not worthy! Can these few words of yours prove that your family is innocent? You dare to assassinate me. How can you not commit a crime if you have no king or father?"

The emperor's face was full of interest. Since he became the emperor, even his ninth brother did not dare to behave in front of him. Now that he saw such a little fool, he still thought it was really fun.

As for the execution of three generations of Wu Qi's family and Qingwen's father, Zhang Xinyan's family, he was also from a clean family. He just blocked the road and was knocked out by his men.

As an emperor, it is impossible for him to do everything towards justice, and everything he does is just for balance. As long as they serve the country in general, there are still cases where some individuals cannot be taken care of.

Seeing Wu Qi, he just felt that there was another chess piece.

He had already thought about where to put it, so he didn't take Wu Qi's offense seriously. If you can lift it up, lift it up. If you can't lift it up, it will be easy to destroy it.

"Since you say that your family is innocent, I order you to be punished and serve meritoriously. You can vindicate your family. If someone really causes your family to die in vain, I will definitely punish the three of them!"

"It just so happens that Chang'an Prefecture is also your family's old territory. I can order you to go back to investigate the case and work with Zhang Shanshou to find out the real collaborators. Do you dare?"

"No, don't kill me?"

Wu Qi was stunned for a moment. He couldn't come back to his senses. How could he be alive? Didn't he scold the emperor? But thinking that the opportunity to rehabilitate his family was right in front of him, he immediately became energetic.

After wiping his face with his sleeve, he felt that the chief eunuch had let go of him and was now hiding behind a pillar and quietly wiping his hands with a handkerchief.

"I and my cousin's family are also innocent!"

The emperor had now received the whole story from the secret guards. Even the soldiers buried by Wu Qi and Qingwen had been dug out by them. Naturally, he also knew that there was a little girl accompanying Wu Qi. I got up, but I still haven’t found where the person is hiding.

"Yes! You are allowed to go and investigate together! But if it is found that your family has indeed committed a crime, you must come back to punish it!"

"What do you need to say? If I really find out that my family is guilty, I won't even use your sword, Lord Emperor. I will wipe my own neck and make my family the next to no one!"

After Wu Qi said this, he woke up from the excitement of wanting to vindicate his family. He arranged his clothes, put on a serious face, knelt straight and saluted again: "The common people accept the decree!"

When the emperor waved him out, he got up and walked out. After taking two steps, he suddenly thought of something and immediately stopped and turned around.

The emperor and the eunuch beside him were startled, thinking that he was going to kill him. The great eunuch had already moved his kung fu to his palms, but saw Wu Qi kneel down again with a pop.

The emperor also laughed angrily at his actions, thinking that he was going to make some harsh demands, but in the end he heard Wu Qi say stupidly:

"Your Majesty, what you said just now is wrong!"

"Which sentence?"

The emperor said impatiently.

Wu Qi replied seriously: "The emperor said that Chang'an Prefecture is my family's old territory, which is wrong! Chang'an Prefecture will always belong to the country, and it belongs to you, the emperor. Our family has been guarding there for the country and the emperor for several years, but it does not belong to our family!"

"Pfft... Hahahaha! Daban! Look at him, where is his stupidity? He is obviously very smart! Okay, I know! I will send my trusted secret guards to escort you. Even if your family is guilty, you will be allowed to stay. If you are found guilty later, your wife and children will be innocent!"

"I, that's not what I meant..." Seeing the emperor smiling happily, Wu Qi knew that he had made a mistake. Fortunately, there would be good rewards. If he was really found guilty, he would marry his cousin and let her and her children live well.

“The common people thank the Lord for His grace!”

After Wu Qi had eaten, drank, and slept, he left the palace gate just before dawn. The eunuch who sent him out was speechless. I was so scared at first, but then I fell asleep and couldn't wake up.

He wrapped the imperial edict and some prepared cakes in a bag and gave it to Wu Qi, which earned him a silly smile.

"You kid! Foolish people are blessed! This is the first time our family has seen you like this!"

But in any case, Wu Qi was indeed lucky. The emperor appointed him as an imperial envoy and sent a group of soldiers to escort him to Chang'an Prefecture.

Seeing that he had gone far away, the eunuch went back.

"Dad! Is this fool really lucky?" The little eunuch walked to the palace, feeling extremely envious in his heart.

The eldest eunuch looked at him sideways and saw the plan in his eyes, "We don't know if he was stupid or not, but if you, a little kid, were stupid, we don't know how he died!"

"Listen to dad's advice, don't judge people now but later. Hey, when you reach our age, you will understand that nothing is better than living!"

Wu Qi, who was leaving, had already arrived at the city gate. He looked at the flow of people, but found no trace of his cousin Qingwen.

He was looking forward to her appearance, but he was not looking forward to her appearance. But it was better to show up, otherwise, he would not dare to go on the road alone.

After waiting for a while, the military attache following him urged him forward. Wu Qi felt disappointed and reluctantly urged the horse forward, but he couldn't help but suspect that Qingwen had left.

In fact, he had already felt that his cousin had changed. She no longer needs herself, and is much stronger than herself. In other words, it was never that his cousin needed him, but that he couldn't live without his cousin.

I don’t know what to do now, maybe it’s right for my cousin to leave.

Just as he was about to move forward quickly, he suddenly heard Qingwen's voice behind him.

"Cousin, wait for me!"

Wu Qi turned around, his mood suddenly brightened. He dismounted directly to meet Qingwen who was carrying a big bag, and said happily: "Where have you been? Why are you here!"

"I sold our horse. I thought it would be better to bring more things when we go to Chang'an Prefecture so far away. Brother, you have a new horse, that's great!"

"Look, there are not only horses, but also these people! The emperor appointed me as an imperial envoy. This time we went to Chang'an Prefecture to investigate the injustice of our family. I can vindicate our family members!"

Wu Qi showed off his achievements with all his teeth and claws, looking at Qingwen with eyes full of friendship. From glory to defeat, from defeat to glory, his cousin accompanied him. He silently said in his heart: "I will never let you down in this life!"

Qingwen looked at Wu Qi's moved face and thought that he understood the risks of his trip.

What can a young man whose family was destroyed do with a little girl? Besides, how can anyone check whether their own family is guilty?

Even if they are surrounded by the emperor's people, they will not be hindered from cheating for personal gain! So the emperor would not be so stupid at all. He just wanted to arrange a cannon fodder on the surface to attract firepower.

This trip seemed to be protected, but in fact it was more dangerous than the two of them traveling alone. That's why Qingwen prepared this big bag of things, just to cover herself on the way to get things from the space.

Seeing Wu Qi's face moved to tears, Qingwen also felt a little embarrassed by him. We are all a family, why should we be so polite!

"Brother, I told you, I will always be with you!"
