Presumably this person is Emperor Xiankang of Xingluo Kingdom-Situ Yan.
Seeing him like this, the conversation with Emperor Jiawen was obviously unpleasant, and it was likely to be a disadvantage.
Otherwise, I would never show this expression in front of so many people.
At any rate, he is also an emperor, if it weren't for something unbearable, he wouldn't have this reaction.
Chu Liuyue felt a little curious for a while.
I don't know what Emperor Jiawen said or did that caused Situ Yan to hold back the fire like this.
Situ Yan passed by them.
Suddenly, Situ Yan paused and turned to look at Chu Liuyue.
"Are you Chu Liuyue?"
Chu Liuyue's eyes flickered.
It's really strange, this one actually knew her?
She bowed her head slightly and bowed her knees.
Situ Yan's eyes were like sharp steel knives, scraping from Chu Liuyue's body.
Chu Liuyue's heart moved slightly.
It seems that Situ Yan has no good impression of her...
Chu Ning stepped forward and quietly blocked Chu Liuyue's body, blocking Situ Yan's sight.
Situ Yan let out a cold snort, then turned and left.
When his figure gradually disappeared, Chu Ning looked back and asked with some worry:
"Yue'er, when did you offend this one?"
Chu Liuyue chuckled and shrugged.
"It's also the first time I saw him today. How could I have a chance to offend him? But... I had sinned against his jewel in his palm before.
Situ Xingchen?
Chu Ning nodded clearly.
Chu Liuyue looked at his suddenly relieved expression, and asked curiously:
"Aren't you worried?"
"What is there to worry about?" Chu Ning snorted, "How can his daughter be compared with my Yueer?"
He vaguely knew that Situ Xingchen seemed interested in Rong Xiu, but Rong Xiu wanted to marry Yue'er. Isn't it clear why Situ Xingchen's attitude towards her own Yue'er?
In Chu Ning's eyes, all the women in the world add up, and they are not as good as their own treasure, Yue'er.
Aside from anything else, Rong Xiu's vision is very good.
Chu Liuyue: "..."
How could she hear a hint of pride in these words...
"Chuning is here? Let him in!"
The voice of Emperor Jiawen came from Zhaoyang Hall.
Grandpa Min hurriedly said:
"Your Majesty, Miss Liu Yue is here too, saying that there is something important to report."
It was quiet for a moment.
"Then let her come in together!"
Chu Ning and Chu Liuyue glanced at each other, their expressions were awe-inspiring, and they entered Zhaoyang Hall one after another.
...
Entering the hall, Chu Liuyue saw Emperor Jiawen sitting on the head at a glance.
The expression on his face seemed to be better than the previous few days, and it was obviously that Situ Yan sighed.
"Liu Yue, you don't come to the palace often. Why are you here today?"
He had a relaxed tone, obviously he didn't take Chu Liuyue's arrival very seriously.
Chu Liuyue and Chu Ning exchanged glances, then took a step forward and said:
"Your Majesty, Liu Yue is here today, and it has something to do with Qijiao Alley."
Hearing the words "Qijiaoxiang", Emperor Jiawen's expression froze suddenly, and he sat up straight unconsciously, his eyes fixed on Chu Liuyue.
"what did you say?"
Chu Liuyue paused, then explained the matter.
However, her reason for going to Qijiaoxiang was changed to passing there by accident.
She didn't want Emperor Jiawen to know that she was also investigating this matter secretly.
Emperor Jiawen was startled when he heard the first sentence.
He didn't know how much effort it took to suppress his urge to lift the table, but the hand holding the chair was already violent!
And his face is even more blue and white, so wonderful!
Chu Liuyue had anticipated his reaction a long time ago, so he hadn't paid attention at all at this time, and only told the matter in a hurry.
"...Because the matter is so important, Liu Yue didn't dare to be expert alone, so she rushed over immediately."
Chu Ning immediately knelt down and pleaded:
"Everything is the negligence of the ministers, which caused today's situation. Please punish your majesty!"
Emperor Jiawen slowly supported his forehead with his hand, and did not speak for a long time.
Chu Ning and Chu Liuyue waited quietly.
In fact, the emotions of Emperor Jiawen at this time are very complicated, and his mind is even more messy.
I thought that the queen was dead and Rong Jin was abolished, and his true thoughts on this matter would gradually be investigated.
But now something happened!
His first reaction was to doubt Situ Xingchen.
After all, he was basically sure that Situ Xingchen secretly saw the queen, and learned a lot from her, and even got the key that was secretly engraved by the queen before his death, which helped Rong Jin successfully enter Sijin Peak.
She is ambitious, and it is not surprising that the lake does such a thing.
But the key is - the current Situ Xingchen is already trapped somewhere!
Then she obviously didn't steal this bronze cylinder.
And Situ Yan... it seems unlikely.
This time, because of the urgency, Situ Yan arrived at the fastest speed, and even only accompanied a few personal guards.
"The opponent is powerful, and obviously came prepared, you can't be completely blamed for this matter..."
Emperor Jiawen finally suppressed the waves in his heart and spoke slowly.
"You immediately take someone to Qijiao Alley, and check if you can find any clues. After checking, report immediately."
"Yes!"
"As for Liu Yue...Since you are the first to see this, I'm afraid I have to trouble you to follow along."
Chu Liuyue said:
"Your Majesty, rest assured, Liu Yue will do his best."
Emperor Jiawen nodded, then suddenly asked:
"By the way, this won't delay you too much time and energy, will it? Vice Admiral Mu's side...he is the first thing in everything, you know?"
Chu Liuyue responded, but chuckles in her heart.
Even if they are already devastated, they still dare not easily offend Mu Qinghe.
If Emperor Jiawen knew the two people who entered the imperial mausoleum, it was actually she and Mu Qinghe. I don't know what their expressions would be.
"I'm a little tired, let's go down first."
Emperor Jiawen waved his hand, and Chu Ning came out with Chu Liuyue.
Walking out of Zhaoyang Hall, Chu Liuyue suddenly asked:
"Daddy, can I go and take a look at the queen's palace?"
Chu Ning was taken aback:
"What are you going there for?"
Chu Liuyue pondered for a moment, then smiled:
"Maybe I can help Daddy find any useful clues."
Chu Ning shook his head solemnly.
"The queen's funeral is going to be held tomorrow. It is not suitable for you to go now."
He still wanted to make Chu Liuyue have a clean relationship with these things.
Chu Liuyue saw that his attitude was firm, so she didn't continue, and changed the subject.
The group went out of the palace together and went straight to Qijiaoxiang.
...
Away from the palace.
"Master, some people from the Northwest Army have already gone to the imperial capital."
Yu Mo whispered.
"At most three days, they can arrive here. Look..."
Rong Xiu's expression was faint, turning over a page.
"How many people came?"
"Not many, five thousand. But these are almost all elite soldiers in the Northwest Army, and they were killed on the battlefield. They can almost be an enemy to ten. Although the number of imperial guards is more, the two sides really fought. , Winning or losing is uncertain. Besides, there are reinforcements behind..."
The corners of the lips are slightly hooked.
"Rong Jiu won't fight an unprepared battle, let alone... this king wants him to win."
