When Liu Changning came in, the emperor was looking down at something. He was wearing a light-colored satin robe with a leisurely posture.

When the emperor heard her coming in, he didn't raise his head, but said, "Excuse me, give the eldest princess a seat."

Liu Changning sat opposite the emperor.

The emperor didn't speak, and she didn't speak either. The study was silent for a while, only the spices exploded in the incense burner, making a crackling sound.

Liu Changning quietly glanced at the emperor's face, seeing that he was frowning slightly, as if he was thinking, but he didn't seem to be in a bad mood. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty."

The emperor waved his hand, "Don't talk yet, I'll finish this paragraph."

Liu Changning said, "Yes."

I don’t know how many words the emperor said. Chang Ning sat for an hour, and when he heard the voice and raised his head, he happened to see the emperor take the tea from the eunuch, took a sip, and then raised his eyes, as if he had just seen Liu Like Chang Ning, he said, "Serve tea for the princess."

After a while, a maid came in with tea.

Liu Changning took it, dipped the corner of his mouth with tea and put it down, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor nodded casually and said, "Is Liu Fei asleep?"

Liu Changning was startled.

The emperor said: "It's a new tea from Jingzhou, why don't you try it?" His tone was gentle, as if Liu Changning was only here to drink tea late at night.

Liu Changning hesitated for a moment, and said: "Chenmei doesn't know if Xiao Jiu is asleep or not, I knew His Majesty would ask, and Chenmei should go to the imperial concubine to have a look."

The emperor smiled. For a man in his forties, he already had fine lines around his eyes, but they were not serious. He was still a very charming beauty when he smiled, and his appearance was not too much compared to those of the younger generation.Compared with the emperor, the first emperor liked the old prince more, so the prince and the emperor lived in the same mother, and they looked similar, but the prince was gentle, and he was raised by the empress dowager's side, with a calm personality. She looked too pretty, too girly.

"Liu Fei cried a lot when she went back." The emperor didn't pay much attention to the harem. In recent years, he only went to the empress once every three or four months. They don't care about it at all. If he intends to suppress the third and fifth princes, the prince will not be on such thin ice right now, "What's wrong?"

Liu Changning said embarrassingly: "Your Majesty punished Xiao Jiu before, and Xiao Jiu ran over secretly. The sister sent Xiao Jiu back when she saw it, and even frightened him a few words. Is this child still crying when he returns to the imperial concubine? ?”

The emperor put down the memorial and leaned forward slightly, as if he wanted to see his sister's face clearly through the candlelight.

Liu Changning suppressed the fear in his heart and said, "Your Majesty?"

"Xiao Jiu came over the wall. Rong Yinhuan thought there was an assassin and shot an arrow at him. Was he so frightened?" The emperor still smiled.

Liu Changning trembled, got up and knelt down, and said, "Sister Chen..."

"Yes or no?" the emperor asked softly.

Liu Changning said, "Yes."

The emperor smiled slightly, "That's right. Speaking of this matter, I would like to thank you, if you hadn't tampered with the wine in Yuan Zanbi, he wouldn't have run into Xiaojiu when he went out. Although I don't like Xiaojiu very much, Rong Yinhuan is also responsible for his death. Rong Yinhuanzhen is quite comfortable with it, and I don't want to change. Rong Junhou is your husband. Although he is dead, there is still some kind of sympathy. Yes. If there is a replacement, the factions will definitely quarrel endlessly. The imperial concubine will cry and cry with me every day to seek death and life," he sighed, his tone was still gentle, but Liu Changning shuddered when he heard it, "Your little plan will kill you." You have avoided so much trouble for me, how do you want me to thank you?"

Every time the emperor said something, Liu Changning's face turned pale.

"My sister dare not," Liu Changning said, "everything is my sister's fault, please forgive me." She kowtowed deeply.

The emperor looked down at her, most of her face was blocked by the bun, the emperor could barely see her expression, what he saw most was her luxurious head full of beads, shining brightly under the light, it hurt people's eyes , he said: "I remember you didn't like these before."

Chang Ning took a deep breath and tried his best not to tremble so obviously, "I used to be an unmarried girl, no matter how she dressed, as long as she didn't go out of style, no one would restrain her. Later, when she married a woman, the dress of a minister's sister was related to the face of the husband's family, so I dare not random."

The emperor blinked and said: "Rong Junhou is dead, you can dress up however you like in the future."

Liu Changning was startled, and said in a hoarse voice, "Sister Chen is used to it."

The emperor said thoughtfully: "If he married you to Yuan Zanying that day, he would definitely not care about honor, disgrace or decency, and you can do whatever you like."

Liu Changning felt the water vapor slowly cover her eyes, and she tried her best not to let tears fall, "Your Majesty is wise."

She told Anping earlier that His Majesty was doing it for your own good. Back then, the Emperor refused to let her marry Yuan Zanying. She wondered if the Emperor also had such thoughts. Now it seems that she is indeed very wise.

"I'm not wise," the emperor shook his head. "If I were really wise, I should have given you a marriage back then. Yuan Zanying will be your son-in-law. If you're happy, he won't die."

The eldest princess gritted her teeth and did not answer.

In her opinion, it was really not good intentions for the emperor to mention these words for no reason.

"Or, if you marry him and he dies, you won't hate Yuanzanbi like this today." The emperor said regretfully: "Yuanzanbi is the son of a family, so it's only natural to care about the honor and disgrace of the family. Cong? Besides, what Yuan Zanbi did today was ordered by me, if you blame him, you might as well blame me directly."

Liu Changning immediately said: "Sister Chen dare not. Sister Chen made such a bad plan because of a momentary obsession, please Your Majesty..."

The emperor coldly interrupted: "It is indeed a bad policy. You are the eldest princess, even if you say you want to marry him, he will not be able to become an official. You put all the medicine on the wine glass, why can't you just find a poison? Kill him? Once and for all? Even if I knew it was you, would I still send my sister out for three trials to embarrass the royal family? Or you cooperated with the crown prince and the third prince in advance, or Qiao Yu. You have ten thousand ways to make Yuan Hairpin will die or be ruined? Why did you choose such a stupid way to put yourself in?"

The Lord of the World said in a mocking and pitiful tone: "The method is as vicious as Qiao Yu, and I am willing to give him the honor of the prime minister. The prince was framed by the third child, do you think I don't know? I know it very well, and I don't care about you." Thoughts are deep, I am afraid that you are stupid."

When the emperor mentioned the crown prince and the third prince, how could Liu Changning continue, and only said: "My sister is guilty."

"The crown prince is a crown prince, and the youngest will lose everything by playing some tricks. How can such a person inherit the throne in the future?" said the emperor.There was something else he didn't say.

In his opinion, the methods of the third prince are not clever, and people can tell at a glance that he did it.

The two sons are only fifty paces and one hundred paces.

Eunuch Xia looked indifferent, as if he was a piece of wood.

The maid standing beside Liu Changning was about to cry.

"Get up." He glanced at Liu Changning, and the princess's slender shoulders trembled slightly. In stark contrast to the entire magnificent study, she looked even weaker.

Liu Changning stood up with support, his knees were still shaking.

The emperor raised his eyebrows and said in dissatisfaction: "Stupid? I want you to sit down, do you know how to sit?"

Liu Changning's face was hot.

She and the emperor are not the same mother, but the former emperor's heirs died, exiled, and those who were in the fiefdom were in the fiefdom, and only she and Duke Huai stayed in Zhongzhou. For many years, the emperor treated her as a kind and honorable person. It was the first time for him to scold him head and face like this.

The emperor changed his tone and said: "You are the eldest princess, you must always remember your identity." He looked into the red eyes of the eldest princess and sighed helplessly, "Who are you going to kill in the future, tell me, I will kill you!" killed him."

The eldest princess shook her head and said, "Sister Chen won't do it anymore."

The emperor frowned.

If he were Liu Changning, he would have cried and said that he would kill Yuan Zanbi at this time. He was sincere, but Liu Changning thought there was something in his words.

"There's one thing I wish I didn't understand." The emperor said.

This is the purpose of the emperor.

Although Liu Changning acted as if she was terribly frightened just now, after all, she has been with the emperor for many years, and she has seen all sorts of turmoil, and her eyes were tearing up four times, and six parts were false.

"Have you met Qiao Yu?"

"Yes."

"Qiao Yu didn't help you? I thought he didn't want Yuan Zanbi to live properly."

When Qiao Yu returned to the main hall, he acted so naturally that he just saw Yuan Zan pen hit his head on the rock, and the imperial doctor came and went too slowly, so he didn't have any extra emotions.

The emperor appreciated it, but it was also a pity.

It's a pity that Qiao Yu's surname is Qiao after all, and he was not born to any woman in his harem. Otherwise, even if such a person can't be the prince, it would be better to make a whetstone for the prince, and the effect will definitely be much better than that of the third prince.

"Chenmei...Chenmei mentioned it, but Qiao Xiang was unmoved." Liu Changning turned his thoughts, and said: "Chenmei feels that the relationship between Qiao Yu and Yuan Zanbi is not bound by identity. Maybe they are very close." She didn't mention anything about Qiao Yu's plan to kill Yuan Zanbi, "From Qiao Yu's words, Chen Mei seems to be very unwilling to kill Yuan Zanbi."

The emperor nodded and said, "Is there any problem with your medicine?"

Liu Changning was speechless for a while.

Do you want her to explain the efficacy of the medicine in detail in front of the emperor?

"Should not."

The emperor handed the memorial to Eunuch Xia.

The maid took the teacup from Liu Changning's hand.

Changning opened the memorial.

It is said to be a memorial, but it is more like a secret memorial. The writing is quite simple, concise and to the point.

The memorial records when Yuan Zanbi will return to the mansion, and whether he has visited or not.

It also wrote when Qiao Yu arrived at the Yuan Mansion and when he returned to the mansion by himself.

According to the memorial, Qiao Yu stayed in Yuan Mansion for a full hour.

The princess looked a little weird for a moment.

The emperor said: "I used to think that Qiao Yu suddenly moved to the next door of the Yuan Mansion because he wanted to monitor the movements of the Yuan Zan pen at any time. Before that, I thought it was Qiao Yu making a big fuss." He recalled the content of the memorial, "Now it seems that I want to Worse."

If Qiao Yu was present, he would definitely cry out for being wronged. If he and Yuan Zanbi did something wrong, he would laugh at the emperor's suspicion, but the problem is that not only did he not sleep, but he was also borrowed 3000 taels own face.

……

Qiao Yu's complexion was not good when he went to court today, and many people went to greet Qiao Xiang and asked Qiao Xiang to take care of his health. There was a tendency that if Qiao Yu was not in the court, there would be chaos.

The emperor noticed that Qiao Yu's eyes were black and blue, especially on his porcelain-like face.

The Yuanzan pen is refreshed, no different from the past.

Qiao Yu pressed his temples hard, only to feel dizzy.

What Yuan Zanbi said was right, it was getting late, so he should go back to rest early.

The third prince looked at him worriedly.

Qiao Yu smiled at the third prince, and made up a perfunctory lie in his mind - even if he died, he couldn't tell the third prince that he was so angry that he didn't sleep all night.

If you get angry about such a trivial matter, won't it make people laugh when it spreads?

Qiao Yu was so absorbed that he didn't react until he heard the word Qiao Yu.

He came back to his senses and found that almost all the civil and military eyes of the court were on him. Before, there were only a few people who saw his complexion, but now almost everyone saw thick circles under his eyes.

Qiao Yu was even more irritable in her heart, wishing she could cover her face.

Yuan Zanbi seems to be looking at him, but also doesn't seem to be looking at him.

What face does Yuan Zanbi have to look at him!

Qiao Yu was furious when he came into contact with Yuan Zanbi's vague gaze. The two looked at each other. I always feel that Yuan Zanbi is looking into his eyes.

The poor minister talked for a long time, but Qiao Yu didn't listen to a word.

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Qiao Xiang, what do you want to say?"

Qiao Yu didn't hear anything, what could he want to say?

"I think it can be discussed again." He said seriously.

The minister was obviously very angry at Qiao Yu's indifferent reaction. Qiao Yu glanced over and saw that the other party was a middle-aged man in his 40s, his face flushed with anger. With?

"Qiao Xiang single-handedly investigated Fang's case. It seems to be watertight, but in fact there are doubts everywhere."

Oh, from the Fang family.

Qiao Yu raised his eyes, but the tiredness still remained in his eyes.

"What doubts?" He said, not as arrogant as before, low and tired.

Even if the emperor felt dissatisfied, he couldn't help but want to ask Qiao Yu a few digressions, how did he spend last night?

"The biggest doubt is Gu Qingzhou," the official said, "Your Majesty. Gu Qingzhou was buried in a mass grave after his death. As far as I know, the Gu family only went to worship once on the day of the burial, and never again. Show up, I sent people to look, the Gu family has already gone to the building, and the neighbors said they don't know where the Gu family and his wife have gone."

The emperor seemed a little impatient, and said, "What does this have to do with Qiao Xiang?"

"If Qiao Xiang is impartial, why is there no mention of this matter in the file? Don't you think it's very strange, Your Majesty?"

Qiao Yu lowered her eyes.

Others looked at him and felt that he seemed to be thinking, and the biggest possibility of thinking was how the official died.

The emperor was partial to Qiao Yu to the extreme, accusing Qiao Yu of having dozens of copies if not hundreds of copies in a month, as big as Qiao Yu's disaster for the country and the people playing power tricks, and as small as being eccentric and misbehaved, scenes like this would happen every once in a while. Once, the officials were very used to it, and just waited to see how the emperor would excuse Qiao Yu this time.

Only Yuan Zanbi could see that he was really sleepy.

Yuan Zanbi felt a little guilty when he saw his eyelashes trembling slightly.

He regretted it after he was fully awake, but he also felt a bit of contemptuous happiness.

"Oh? What's wrong?"

The emperor actually asked.

This is what most people think.

According to the emperor's usual temper, he should reprimand this official for framing Qiao Xiang, and there is no need to discuss it again in the future.

This matter is not strange, the emperor is strange.

Qiao Yu still lowered his eyes, looking like he was out of his mind.

"It's strange why the Gu family and his wife disappeared? Are they alive or dead?"

The emperor said boringly: "Aiqing, you don't have to tell the court if you have any doubts. Just ask the assistant officials."

The official said: "Your Majesty, I have evidence."

The emperor still looked uninterested, "What evidence?"

He took out a bag from his sleeve, held it up high, and said, "This is the evidence."

Eunuch Xia understood and handed the bag to the imperial physician to check inside and out before handing it over to the emperor.

The emperor opened the bag, and a bright yellow light dazzled his eyes.

"Gold?" He sneered, "Is Ai Qing trying to bribe me?"

Qiao Yu stared at the bag for a long time before remembering that it was the gold he showed the graveman when he ordered Gu Qingzhou's grave to be dug.

The official said: "It is indeed a bribe, but I did not bribe His Majesty." He looked at Qiao Yu, "It was given to someone else by Qiao Xiang."

Qiao Yu lazily said: "The truth sent out too much gold, my lord might as well just say who it was from the truth, I really can't remember the truth."

Qiao Yu is the only one who can be so confident in the court.

The official's face turned red and then pale, and he said: "It was Qiao Xiang who showed the grave people in a mass grave outside Zhongzhou City. Qiao Xiang went to the mass grave outside the city in person half a month ago, shortly after the Fang's case fell to dust. , and even gave the grave watcher a bag of gold, I don’t know why Qiao Xiang wanted to do it?”

Qiao Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Strange, why does your lord know? Did your lord go to worship?"

His words completely turned his face pale.

Xie Jujin couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "Mr. Qiao, please be careful with your words and deeds."

Qiao Yu nodded, "Since Prime Minister Xie has spoken, it's enough to listen to the truth."

The official said bitterly: "Then what are you doing there, sir? Why did you leave the gold?"

Qiao Yu said indifferently: "I think that the cause of Gu Qingzhou's death is doubtful, so why not ask someone to open the coffin for inspection? As for the gold, because the truth is willing, is there someone in Wei Law that does not allow officials of this dynasty to give away gold?"

The official said: "Your Majesty, I also thought that the cause of Gu Qingzhou's death was suspicious, and ordered someone to open the coffin, but there was no corpse in the coffin!"

As soon as these words came out, all four were shocked.

Xie Jujin said: "You know, if you lie today, it is a serious crime to frame the head of a hundred officials."

The official knelt down, bowed long and said: "I know that people speak softly, but I really can't see someone deceiving your majesty like this and ruining the loyalty of the country."

Qiao Yu was expressionless.

He didn't lie to the emperor, and the Fang family can't be regarded as the loyalty of the country.

Yuan Zan wrote: "Your Majesty, when Gu Qingzhou died, everyone saw it for all to see. Afterwards, it has been checked layer by layer. It is absolutely impossible to make mistakes."

The emperor was not surprised to hear Yuan Zanbi speaking for Qiao Yu.

Besides, what he said was impartial. He was in charge of the exam. If the results submitted by Qiao Yu were overturned, he might be busy again.

The official said: "This bag is a gift from His Majesty to Haining satin. In the previous dynasty, only the Taishi, Taifu, Xie Xiang, Huai Wang and Qiao Xiang were given. His Royal Highness has nothing to do with this matter, and there is a record at the city gate that Xiang Xiang’s chariot went out of the city that day, and the money bag and gold were indeed gifted by Xiang Xiang, so the grave man also said that Xiang Xiang made him keep his mouth shut.”

Qiao Yu resisted the desire to yawn.

Yuan Zanbi suddenly said: "Where is the man who looks at the grave?"

The official said: "He committed suicide in prison."

Qiao Yu clapped his hands, "It's such a dead case. Since the witness is dead, he can say whatever he wants."

He seemed to have come to his senses, and he twirled the delicate embroidery surface with his fingertips.

That's right, they won't keep people alive, even if they torture them severely and send them to the palace, they are afraid of the possibility of overturning the case, so killing people is the most labor-saving and smartest way.

The dead can say anything.

The official knew that the consequences of ignoring Qiao Yu's provocation would be to piss him off, and said, "I still have a confession."

The emperor nodded slightly.

A confession was presented.

He glanced at it and found that it was no different from what the official said, so he gave it to Eunuch Xia to read it out.

Xia Gonggong said: "The grass people have been looking at the graves in the mass graves. On the third day of this month, they met a group of people. The leader of them was very beautiful. At first glance, he looked like a woman disguised as a man." After this paragraph, there were whispers in the court, and people kept looking at Qiao Yu's face.

When Qiao Yu went out, she was still debating whether to put a fan on her face, but now she regretted that she didn't have a fan.

"The nobleman never opened the coffin, but just looked around, and then gave the grass-roots a bag of gold, and warned the grass-roots not to speak out."

Bai Heyun whispered: "This is too stupid."

Xie Jing looked at him helplessly.

He expressed the feelings of many courtiers.

This confession is really full of loopholes, and the witness is dead, how can it be used as evidence?

But it was a coincidence, Qiao Yu asked the emperor to go to the exam, and Gu Qingzhou committed suicide on the spot. After the investigation results came out, Fang's vitality was seriously injured, and the crown prince and fifth prince who arranged the exam were also implicated.No matter how you look at it, it is Qiao Yu's handwriting.But now the Gu family has long since left, and with the evidence of the neighbors, it's more like Qiao Yu killed people or sent them away in order to conceal the truth.

He couldn't explain it, and couldn't explain it.

Although the testimony was stupid, it helped Qiao Yu to be convicted.

The most important point is that the emperor obviously doesn't want to favor Qiao Yu.

The emperor said: "What can Xiang Xiang say about this matter?"

Qiao Yu respectfully said: "The evidence is as solid as a mountain, and I have nothing to say."

How could he fail to see the emperor's attitude?It is no different to say more.

It's not that the emperor really didn't intend to use him, it was just beating him.

Qiao Yu frowned in thought, wondering why the emperor suddenly behaved like this.

Because... Liu Changning?

The emperor said: "Although the evidence is insufficient, you, Qiao Yu, are in charge, and you have made such omissions." The lack of evidence completely cut off the thinking of many people. If the emperor is furious, he may do more Qiao Yu might lose power by means of means, but the emperor didn't seem to intend to punish him.The emperor glanced at Qiao Yu, frowned and said, "I see that you look tired, I'd better let you rest at home for two or three months, and then think about how to do things." It seemed that he was quite dissatisfied with Qiao Yu's performance today.

The official was not reconciled, and said: "Your Majesty, what about the Fang family case?" He secretly investigated Qiao Yu's movements, and actually found something, but no one told anyone, not even the Fang family.His original intention was to raise doubts in the court, even if the emperor refused to agree, other aristocratic families would investigate. After all, Qiao Yu's gaining power was not a good thing for them.

It's just that the emperor neither agrees nor opposes, which makes it hard for him to get off.

Many people laughed at him as stupid in their hearts.

The meaning of the emperor could not be more clear.

Why did Fang find such an idiot?If the emperor hadn't pushed the boat along the way, it would have been a question of whether he could get out of the hall alive.

"The case of Fang's family has been settled," the emperor said a little annoyed, "Don't bring it up again."

Bai Heyun applauded the emperor from the bottom of his heart.

Fang did not overturn the case, but also dismissed Qiao Yu, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Even if he didn't know how Qiao Yu offended the emperor.

Qiao Yu handed over the wat board to Eunuch Xia.

The feeling of being calculated in his heart is getting stronger and stronger.

I don't know if today's event is in this person's plan, or is it a surprise?

Qiao Yu thought sleepily.

Afterwards, he didn't listen to what the emperor's courtiers said, and for the first time experienced the joy of being distracted when the Yuanzan pen went up to court.

Although he was leisurely, his face was always tired, as if he was very worried about being dismissed from office.

Duke Huai wanted to comfort him a few words before speaking, but saw that Qiao Yu came out of the main hall with a radiant look, so how could he still be tired in the main hall?

Yuan Zanbi was right in front of him, he was about to speak when Duke Huai said first, "Mr. Qiao."

Qiao Yu turned around, showing a pale smile, and said, "His Royal Highness Duke Huai." His tone was soft and his expression was sluggish, as if he was extremely worried.

Duke Huai: "..."

For a moment, Duke Huai was full of words and didn't know how to say them.

Qiao Yu called out again: "Your Highness?"

Duke Huai paused, and said: "Please don't be too sad, Mr. Qiao. Although those evidences are not iron-clad, Mr. Qiao is unable to explain any of them. His Majesty's behavior is already very biased."

Both Qiao Yu and Duke Huai knew in their hearts that this was a lie that could not be more false, but Qiao Yu still cooperated with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye: "Yes, I know that Your Majesty has His Majesty's last resort, so I will never harbor resentment over it."

Won't you harbor resentment?

He now only hopes that he won't receive the adult's obituary tomorrow, even if Qiao Yu is merciful.

The two chatted while walking, and unknowingly reached a secluded place in the palace, and everyone had already left.

Qiao Yu watched Yuan Zanbi leave helplessly, wishing he could grab him and let him listen together.

The little eunuch withdrew winkingly.

King Huai said: "Previously, His Majesty was extremely tolerant towards Qiao Xiang, which attracted the envy of the government and the public, but today he was dismissed because of some rumors, my lord. Do you know why?"

Qiao Yu's eyes lit up, then darkened again, and said, "Does His Highness King Huai know why?"

The two played against each other in a very boring way, both of them were obviously insincere, and they had to pretend to be serious.

It couldn't be that Liu Changning went to the emperor and sued him, besides, how could he explain this matter to the emperor?Everyone wants some face.

Duke Huai shook his head and smiled, "I don't know anything." He paused, "I'm afraid I have to ask Qiao Xiang what he has done?"

Qiao Yu was puzzled, "What have you done?"

He did too many unreasonable things, hundreds of them went through his mind at once, and he felt that none of them were worthy of the emperor's dismissal of his official position.

Duke Huai sighed, "Qiao Xiangguo really doesn't know? Or are you pretending to be stupid with me?"

Qiao Yu humbly asked for advice, "I really don't know."

Duke Huai said, "Did you dare to ask where Xiang Xiang was last night?"

It's okay if he doesn't mention it, the veins on Qiao Yu's forehead twitched when he mentioned it.

where was he last nightHe tossed and turned in bed last night, unable to sleep, wrote a few random words, drew a few pictures and burned them again, tossing and turning until the light of day went to court.

Shouldn't the court officials be allowed to lose sleep and go crazy?

Qiao Yu paused in thought.

He subtly understood what Duke Huai meant.

"I was in last night...I went over to have a look last night because Mr. Yuan was unwell, and I was in Yuan Mansion for an hour."

Duke Huai sighed lightly, and said, "Don't Mr. Qiao know the identity of Mr. Yuan?"

What he said was simply a statement.

He, Qiao Yu, is just a knife of the emperor. To put it harshly, a dog is also fine.

He was using it to deal with the aristocratic family, how could he get too close to Yuan Zanbi?

King Huai said: "This is just my guess." He looked into Qiao Yu's eyes, "It seems that someone with an identity like Qiao Xiang shouldn't get too close to Mr. Yuan."

Qiao Yu paused, and said: "I understand, thank you His Highness Duke Huai for your suggestion."

The two talked a few more irrelevant gossips, and then separated.

"The emperor is too narrow-minded to dismiss me because of such a thing." Qiao Yu complained: "If the truth and Yuanzan pen have anything, it would not be a loss, but unfortunately there is nothing." He thought for a while, It seems that the word pity is not right, "But there is nothing, it can be said to be a disaster without any reason. The truth is very puzzling, why only hit the truth and not the Yuanzan pen?"

He recalled the way the emperor looked at him when he was in court, like a helpless old father looking down on his children, which made Qiao Yu regret that he didn't take advantage of others' danger and just do something directly.

Duke Huai's ambiguous eyes also gave him goosebumps.

Yuan Zanbi was drugged. He stayed in Yuan Mansion for an hour. Couldn't it make him keep himself clean and not afraid of temptation, and not do anything?

Bah, shit!

Next time, he would just sit down and tell the emperor frankly that it is true that the minister and Yuanzanbi had an affair, and that Yuanzanbi had saved my life. If it's up to him, please Your Majesty not to punish Lord Yuan, after all, it's human nature to have sex.

Han Tan was sitting upright, as if he didn't hear Qiao Yu's words at all.

Qiao Yu said: "It's impossible to make people more jealous just because Ben is better looking than him."

Han Tan still didn't speak.

Qiao Yu was dissatisfied and said: "Threesomes must have my teacher. Do you think Yuanzanbi is very handsome and want to imitate Yuanzanbi?"

Han Tan said: "My lord, do you want to go back home?"

It's not that he wants to imitate Yuan Zanbi, but that he doesn't know what to say at all.

"Go home." Qiao Yu said boringly.

He was not afraid of going to the Yuan Mansion when he was on the cusp of the storm, which would make the emperor even more dissatisfied with him, just because it seemed that the Emperor and King Huai knew that he stayed in the Yuan Mansion for an hour last night, and if he went back today, it would seem too unrestrained and too reserved. Can't wait.

Even if he wanted to see Yuan Zanbi, Yuan Zanbi had to come to see him.

The emperor let him rest for a month at most, and then he had to find some reason to reinstate him.

Qiao Yu frowned slightly, but at the thought of not having to get up early for at least a month, her brows relaxed again.

While playing with Yuli, he sighed: "If it is not involuntary, who would want to intrigue in court?" He draws a long tone, unable to tell whether it is yin and yang or something else, "It is enough to be an ordinary rich man."

Han Tan: "..."

Just as Qiao Yu was pushed into the room, he suddenly said, "How long have I been chatting with Duke Huai?"

Han Tan said, "About half an hour."

Qiao Yu called the housekeeper, and said, "During this time, has anyone said that they want to see the truth?"

The butler nodded and said, "Yes."

Qiao Yu smiled complacently, and put on an expression that was as expected, and everything was under the control of the truth, and said, "What did Yuan Zanbi say?"

The butler was taken aback, "Master Yuan?"

Qiao Yu was leaning well on the wheelchair, but when she heard this, she got up slightly and said, "Isn't it Yuanzan pen?"

The butler said with a serious look: "There are five companies that have sent invitations to you, and they are..."

Qiao Yu pressed his temple.

The butler immediately picked the important one and said, "His Royal Highness the Third Prince would like to meet with you."

"The truth is like this, does he still dare to see the truth?" Qiao Yu said.

The housekeeper said: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince would like to invite you to the mansion outside the city for a briefing."

Qiao Yu frowned, "Said the truth was overly worried and fell ill."

The housekeeper said: "Yes. There are also several adults who have sent calligraphy and paintings. Do you think you should accept them or return them?"

Qiao Yu said angrily: "Let's quit. The truth is that these days when I'm at home, no matter who it is, I will refuse."

The housekeeper nodded to indicate that he had written it down, and said, "Then what if it belongs to Mr. Yuan?"

Qiao Yu was silent for a moment, and said: "If it's a greeting card written by Yuan Zan, who do you think the person who sent the greeting card is? No, but I have to invite him in for a cup of tea. If Mr. Yuan comes by himself," he paused, showing a beautiful smile, "find all the servants in the house, beat him up before throwing him out, bye I remember tearing it up and throwing it in his face."

The housekeeper was stunned, "Really?"

"It's true." Qiao Yu said: "There is a truth about what happened, so you just let go and do it."

After finishing speaking, he screened his subordinates away, wanting to go back and rest for a while.

Qiao Yu seldom slept well since the case of Ning You. One of the methods of torturing prisoners in the quiet room was to prevent them from falling asleep. He was injured again. What's more, I don't know when he developed the habit, which makes him sleep less and lightly, and less sleep is tantamount to murder for money.

Qiao Yu closed his eyes, and his breathing gradually became steady.

Vaguely, he seemed to see his mother.

From the eyes of the servants of the Qiao family, Mrs. Qiao was a very strange woman. Mrs. Qiao was beautiful and gentle, and treated her generously, but one thing was unpredictable. Although she was well-educated, she never taught her son any serious things. As long as what Qiao Yu did was harmless and shocking, she would turn a blind eye.

The servants of Qiao's family looked at Young Master Qiao who was almost spoiled, and thought that this child might be born of Master Qiao and the concubine. Mrs. Qiao was obviously spoiled, but in fact she wanted to make Qiao Yu a useless person.

With such a mother, Qiao Yu naturally lived up to everyone's expectations and grew up to be a self-willed and arrogant child who played all day long.

If he hadn't had such a temper, he wouldn't have seen the kite fall into the next yard and his first thought was to ask the people in the next yard to pick it up for him.

"Young master, come down quickly, young master." The maid at the base of the wall wiped the cold sweat from her head, and persuaded Qiao Yu who was climbing up the ladder, and scolded the person who carried the ladder for Qiao Yu in order to please him. With a bloody spray, "If the old lady finds out..."

The eight or nine-year-old child turned his head and said nonchalantly, "If you don't tell my parents, will they know?"

The child's body was delicate and fragile, and the maid saw him stepping up the wall neatly, and was terrified for a while, and almost fainted.

Qiao Yu lay on the top of the wall, the kite was indeed not far away, but there was no ladder on the opposite side, so he couldn't get down.

There was an open window not far from him, revealing a face that was mostly covered by books.

Qiao Yu shouted, "Hey, that, that kid!"

Hearing the voice on the other side, he didn't raise his head, let Qiao Yu shout, and only raised his head after reading the page intently.

Qiao Yu saw a pair of quiet eyes.

These eyes were different from what he usually saw, quiet and indifferent, not like a child's eyes at all.

Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment, then said after a while: "Hey, pick up the kite for me."

The child gets up.

Qiao Yu looked at him without blinking.

The child closed the window.

Qiao Yu was stunned more than once this time, and only felt annoyed when he was done. Few people don't take what he said seriously, but this person didn't even pay attention.

The maid whispered: "Master, come down quickly."

Qiao Yu snorted, and using both hands and feet, he quickly climbed down from the ladder. When there were still five steps of the ladder near the ground, he jumped up and landed on the ground.

The maid almost fainted from fright.

Qiao Yu patted the ashes on his body, and said, "Don't tell my mother."

The maid nodded with a pale face.

Not long after, a group of cronies came to Qiao Yu with swords, axes, and axes made of bamboo. Young Master Qiao was elated and forgot about this disappointing incident.

In one afternoon, Qiao Yu swept away thousands of troops, left in high spirits, and returned home excitedly carrying the spoils - a cricket in a bamboo cage back home. As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw his mother sitting in the main hall drinking tea .

Qiao Yu ran over with a playful smile and said, "Mother."

Madam Qiao put down her teacup and ordered the kites on the table.
