The trees are shadowy and mottled.

Yi Xiaoqiao looked down at the stone road under his feet and kicked a fixed and complete stone with his toes.

"Mrs. Qiao, I'm talking to you. Didn't you hear me?"

Yi Xiaoqiao slowly raised his head: "emperor, how hurtful your words are. When did I encourage your concubine to deal with you? I don't carry the pot when you say that."

Qian Yu picked an eyebrow: "if you didn't provoke me, why did concubine Chan come to question me?"

"Then ask her. What's the use of asking me? I'm not a roundworm in her stomach." Yi Xiaoqiao blinked: "maybe she wanted to question you for a long time. I just gave her a step this time, and she came down by the way. I can't blame me, can I?"

Qian Yu smiled coldly: "sharp teeth and sharp mouth."

"Emperor, you won't kill me for your concubine?"

Qian Yu glanced at her, implying a threat.

Yi Xiaoqiao quickly compromised: "the emperor forgives me. My words are unscrupulous."

"It seems that the lesson I taught you last time is not enough!" Qian Yu raised her eyebrows.

Yi Xiaoqiao sensitively realized the threatening taste from his words. She stepped back two steps: "emperor, you don't really want..."

"Step back."

Yi Xiaoqiao brightened his eyes, hurriedly blessed himself, turned and left.

"You come back." Qian Yu grabbed her by the neck and pulled her back.

Yi Xiaoqiao was dragged back several steps and almost fell on him. Fortunately, she reacted quickly, which saved her life. She turned back and looked at Qian Yu in embarrassment: "emperor, what are you doing? Our men and women don't give and receive. If anyone sees me, I'll be killed by your concubines."

"Stop talking nonsense and come with me." Qian Yu dragged her straight to the lake.

Yi Xiaoqiao was startled: "emperor, think twice. The drowned man can't reincarnate and will be a fierce ghost. If you come back to the lake in the future..."

With a look in her eyes, Qian Yu successfully stopped Yi Xiaoqiao's words.

Yi Xiaoqiao pursed his lips: "Emperor..."

"Stand up." Qian Yu pushed her under the tree and stood, "don't you just want to see me? What are you doing pretending to be a ghost!"

Yi Xiaoqiao's eyes flashed, smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise. It turns out that you have seen through my careful thinking."

"What's the matter? Let's get it straight."

"In fact, it's nothing. Last time I met the girl who looks like me, I checked something."

Qian Yu looked back at her: "Oh? What did you check?"

"It's not a shady thing, but it's just a little news. I know they're looking for a sect called blood lotus sect."

Qian Yu frowned, "what do you mean?"

"Isn't the emperor afraid that those people will shake your country? So I think..." Yi Xiaoqiao smiled: "I want to make a deal with the emperor."

Qian Yu looked at Yi Xiaoqiao and looked at her from head to foot. When Yi Xiaoqiao felt cramped, he took back his eyes: "what? You have been moved by Mu Yian?"

Yi Xiaoqiao leaned idly against the tree trunk and stroked the leaves in his hand: "if you don't, it's impossible."

Qian Yu glanced sideways at Yi Xiaoqiao: "women are really useless."

Yeah, she's just so useless.

Her feelings for mu Yi'an were a little complicated. Later, Yi Xiaoqiao was summoned to the palace by the emperor, and had to ask Mu Yi'an to marry Yi Zhen because of his previous deal with the emperor. At that time, Mu Yi'an looked at her so sad and disappointed. She wondered whether Mu Yi'an would push the boat with the current, or if she would really marry Yi Zhen if she saw her clearly.

But mu Yi'an didn't. He returned to the house and wanted to kill Yi Zhen with a sword.

He knew that the emperor could not resist orders. He also knew that Yi Xiaoqiao's being coerced by them today was not only a life-threatening problem, but also because Yi really existed. He did not choose to make Yi Xiaoqiao sad, but chose to solve it from the root.

Since it was a peach blossom, he cut it with his sword.

Although Yi Xiaoqiao doesn't know how much he is sincere and how much he is acting for the emperor, Yi Xiaoqiao is very grateful that he didn't anger himself and didn't hurt himself.

Mu Yi'an is desperate to catch up with her. She knows his reluctance and clearly feels his reluctance to give up. Therefore, Yi Xiaoqiao is more and more soft hearted, sad and firm.

"Say it." Qian Yu said with a cold face.

"I hope the emperor can give me the antidote."

"Oh?"

"I will help the emperor find out the leader of the blood lotus sect."

Qian Yu suddenly turned back: "you are now in prison and can't get out of the palace. How can you find the leader?"

Yi Xiaoqiao looked up at him with his eyes as clear as water, reflecting his shadow and showing an indifferent smile.

Qian Yu was shocked and seemed to understand something in a moment: "is it..."

"It is said that the leader is a woman and is now hiding in the palace."

"Impossible!" Qian Yu waved vigorously, "there is no one in the palace."

"Has the emperor seen the leader of the blood lotus sect?" Yi Xiaoqiao asked with great interest.

"No."

"Since the emperor hasn't seen her, he doesn't know what she looks like. Since the emperor doesn't know, how can he be sure she's not in the palace?"

"Have you seen it?" Qian Yu asked.

Yi Xiaoqiao shook his head: "no, but I got a tip that she was in the palace."

"The blood lotus sect comes from xitui. It intends to subvert the national foundation of the state of Qian. It must be for the emperor. Emperor, your safety is the most important. You'd rather believe it than nothing."

Qian Yu was silent, and his eyes fell on the rippling lake. After a long time, he came back and said with a smile: "your words are too high sounding."

"Huh?"

"You haven't seen it, and I haven't seen it. How can I know that the person you find is the one I'm looking for?"

"I will naturally find out the evidence for you." Yi Xiaoqiao said definitely.

"Well, if you can find her, I'll give you the antidote."

Yi Xiaoqiao smiled and blessed himself: "thank you, Emperor. It's a blessing for the dry country that the emperor is so wise and powerful."

Qian Yu looked at Yi Xiaoqiao. His eyes narrowed slowly. For a long time, he turned back and said, "if you deceive me, I will kill you, not only you, but mu Yian."

Yi Xiaoqiao's heart trembled. She knew that Qian Yu was serious, otherwise he wouldn't say such threatening words. In addition, Qian Yu seemed to have a natural hostility to Mu Yian. That hostility seemed to be deep into the bone marrow, so Yi Xiaoqiao had no doubt that he would really do so.

"Don't worry, Emperor. I will find her." Yi Xiaoqiao's eyes were burning: "before that, I hope the emperor can give me as much convenience as possible."

"Don't worry."

Qian Yu didn't look back, but answered faintly.
