After a moment of silence, there was a conversation again.
"Our relationship is not like this. When I cooperated with Lord Gu, I appreciated his talent and admired you, a group of excellent kung fu masters."
The Emperor didn't investigate Bu Qingyi's rudeness. Instead, he put on a smiling face. Bu Qingyi noticed that he didn't call himself "I" any more in his words. This kind of closer relationship seems very deliberate.
Bu Qingyi said quietly, "without the sacred food, where can we spare time to study Kung Fu? At the end of the day, thank the Lord
"There's no need to be polite between you and me." The emperor sat down on the half couch, took a sip of tea, and then put it down. "I have a good chat with Mr. Gu. If it's not for my status, it's inconvenient to show my face to others. I really want to make friends with Mr. Gu. Miss Bu is one of the closest people to Lord Gu. He also told me a lot about Miss bu. Now I think about it, I always feel sorry. I can only feel that heaven is jealous of talents... "
The emperor's words were not finished, but his step in green clothes was so light that he seemed to interrupt casually: "it's not that the heaven envies the talents, but that the people are so weird. Strange, don't the Lord know? That year, the Lord of the cabinet was betrayed and attacked secretly, so he was injured and died. Pei Zan did all this. "
"Really? I just heard this statement from you before, but I didn't believe it The emperor sighed, "now I understand why you insist on killing peizan. But I'd like to ask more, do you have any evidence? Don't just listen to someone's rumors and blame innocent people without knowing the facts. "
The emperor's words were clearly to shirk responsibility, and the lines were full of hints such as "I don't know", "I don't believe", "it's nothing to do with me". However, bu Qingyi clearly remembers that when she first found the emperor to express her gratitude and resentment with Pei Zan, the emperor did not have such a false expression of surprise. The emperor definitely knew the relationship between Pei Zan and Gu Chaoxi's death.
King of a country, what to hide? What are you cheating on? What are you afraid of?
The more the emperor pretended to have nothing to do with himself, the more Bu Qingyi believed that Pei Zan's betrayal in that year was most likely related to the emperor.
He raised his hand and threw the half eaten apple to the ground. Bu Qingyi stood up and looked at the emperor with a cool smile: "today I just came to say hello and tell the emperor that I'm back. It's said that the emperor's dragon body is not safe. It's not funny to disturb him any more. Please have a good rest and take care of the dragon body. I'm still pursuing the truth that luanxuege was betrayed in those years. Once I find out that other people collude with Pei Zan, I will take revenge for the leader and luanxuege. At that time, please hold your hand high. Don't catch me like you did last time. I'm afraid it will be difficult to settle down when the Lord of the pavilion knows. "
"I said earlier that I would not interfere in your affairs in the world. This is what I made an appointment with Lord Gu. But if it comes to any court officials, I still hope Miss Bu can say hello in advance, so that I won't lose face. "
In the face of the emperor's very polite reply, bu Qingyi laughed it off, bowed his head slightly, and walked away.
As soon as Bu Qingyi left, the emperor immediately changed his face and called Shaojian Zhou into the bedroom.
"The intention! Mobilize the northern yamen forbidden army to strengthen the guard in the palace, especially around the imperial city wall. Be sure to send someone to guard strictly to prevent the thieves from crossing over the wall and entering
Zhou Shaojian Nuo said yes, but the emperor was still in a state of uneasiness. After walking in the hall for several circles, the emperor raised his hand again and said with a gloomy face: "try to contact the king of Dongyang and let him come to see me immediately!"
The emperor's tension and panic, even if he did not see it with his own eyes, bu Qingyi also knew it. After this contact, she was more sure that the emperor was definitely the one who knew about Pei Zan's betrayal. As for whether Pei Zan was the killer because of the emperor's instigation, it needs further investigation.
After all, it's about the emperor and the people of Xiping. She has to be cautious.
Bu Qingyi, who was full of complicated thoughts, didn't pay attention to her surroundings. As she was speeding along the deserted palace road, a small figure suddenly came out of the fork of the road. She didn't have time to react and collided with the small figure.
"Ouch..." The thin figure sat down on the ground and murmured.
Bu Qingyi saw that a young girl was knocked down. She squatted down and asked, "does it hurt? Is it hurt? "
"Foot, a twist." The little girl rubbed her eyes with one hand. Her tears were shining and her expression was rather aggrieved. "Sister, my feet hurt and I dare not stand up."
The child's skin is white, delicate and lovely, and his big eyes are naturally pure and tender. Even Bu Qingyi, who is not very good at taking care of children, has no reason to love him.
"Do you live in the palace? Which palace? I'll carry you back. " Bu Qingyi turned her back to the girl and patted herself on the shoulder.
The little girl took a cool breath and climbed up to the back of Qingyi. After thinking about it, she whispered: "I live in Rong Niangniang's Rosin garden Sister, do you know how to get to the rosin garden? "
Step green clothes just want to step out of the foot, a stiff in situ.Not to mention the rosin garden, even the road out of the palace, she barely remembered it. Finding the way has always been the worst thing for her.
The little girl let out an old sigh: "Alas, sister, you'd better go as I said."
Under the command of the little girl, bu Qingyi walked on the strange path in the palace, turning around and around. After walking for nearly half an hour, he still couldn't find the rosin garden.
"The rosin garden is in the most remote corner of the palace. It's far away, but one more cup of tea is sure to arrive." The little girl fell on the back of Bu Qingyi and vowed.
After walking for a long time, bu Qingyi didn't feel tired, but was a little bored. Seeing that the little girl was not afraid of life and was very good at talking, she chatted with the child.
"Since you live in the palace, you should be a little princess?"
The little girl put her arms around Bu Qingyi's neck and said sweetly, "well, the Lord is my father, but he won't let me call him father. My name is Lu qingnuo. I'm nine years old. My father said that I was still young and didn't give me a title, so my sister just called me Arnold. "
Lu qingnuo Do you promise lightly? How does the name sound like a whiff of resentment?
"Arnold, why do you live so far away from your mother? I see that the other concubines' palaces are near the palace of the emperor's bedroom. "
"Arnold doesn't have a mother. She jumped into the well when Arnold was three years old." Arnold moved on Bu Qingyi, but his voice was still so lively. He didn't seem to be sad for his mother's death.
Bu Qingyi had a bad feeling: "who are you living with now?"
"That's what I said just now! Well Everyone called her Rong pin. Rong Niangniang is very good with my mother. She is always taking care of me. But dad doesn't like his mother or Rong Niang. It seems that he doesn't like Arnold very much, so he lets Arnold and Rong Niang live in the farthest rosin garden. In this way, we can't see each other at ordinary times, and dad won't be upset! "
Arnold childishly told a very cruel thing, listening to bu Qingyi frown.
It is said that a woman married into the palace is to enjoy happiness, but who has ever thought about the state of mind and life of those unsavory concubines? For example, Arnold's mother and daughter and the concubine were abandoned in the corner of the palace, as if they were allowed to live and die on their own. How could such a life compare with ordinary people?
Arnold's mother didn't know what she thought, but after suffering for Arnold, she didn't know what fate she would face when she grew up.
"By the way, my sister hasn't told Arnold. What's your name, sister?" Arnold's tone with a trace of excitement, seems to like Bu Qingyi very much. Bu Qingyi told Arnold her name, which made Arnold more excited: "ah! So you are sister Qingyi
"Do you know me?" Bu Qingyi slowed down and was slightly surprised.
"Of course, brother Jinwang always talks about sister Qingyi with Arnold."
Bu Qingyi took a breath: "King Jin You have a good relationship with King Jin? "
"Well, brother Jinwang is very kind to Arnold. Arnold likes brother Jinwang as much as sister Qingyi." Arnold nodded hard, and immediately there was more grievance in his tone, "but Arnold hasn't seen Jinwang brother for a long time. Has sister Qingyi seen him recently?"
Bu Qingyi certainly knows that Lu Jingyi is missing. But she didn't know how to speak to Arnold. After all, she was still a child. At Arnold's age, she shouldn't have too much darkness and misfortune in her mind.
"King Jin is always busy. Maybe he just doesn't have time to see you." Bu Qingyi lied quietly, a little guilty.
"It doesn't matter if you don't have time to come, as long as brother Jinwang takes care of himself." After a pause, Arnold said, "when sister Qingyi sees brother Jinwang again, can she bring a word for Arnold? Brother Prince, brother anwang, brother Weiwang and brother Yongwang are all looking for him. Everyone is worried about brother Jinwang. "
Bu Qingyi's steps suddenly stopped: "how do you know they are looking for Jinwang?"
"I listen to the brother guards in the prison. I often go to the prison to play. Sometimes I eavesdrop on them. Sister, don't complain, or they won't let Arnold play in the future."
The prison is a gathering place for information inside and outside the palace. Including Lu Jingyi, all royal families send their confidants to the prison to collect and exchange information. Arnold's brother guard should be a confidant sent to the prison by the palace. What they said in private should not be false.
However, the unexpected news obviously conflicts with the information that Mogui inquired about. If Lu Jingyi was really secretly imprisoned by King Yong, then king Yong should have no reason to send his confidants to the prison to inquire.
Or is this the scheme of the yongwangfu to confuse the public?
Bu Qingyi's heart was clouded with doubts.
"Arnold, why are you running around again?"
When Bu Qingyi was thinking in the dark, a woman came near quickly and took Arnold from Bu Qingyi.
"Rong Niang Niang, this is Qingyi elder sister. Brother Jinwang often mentions that. Sister Qingyi, this is the lady who takes care of me. " Arnold introduced enthusiastically.
Rong bin politely greets Bu Qingyi and urges Arnold to go back quickly. Although Bu Qingyi had doubts in his heart, Rong bin didn't say much about it. Besides, there was no need to take a child's words too seriously.Bu Qingyi said goodbye to them with a smile, turned around and walked a few steps away. Suddenly, a whisper came from behind.
"The easier it looks on the surface, the more complex it is actually."
Bu Qingyi suddenly turns back, and Rong bin is pulling Arnold's little hand to go far away. At first glance, there is nothing unusual.
On reflection, it's unusual.
