Considering himself unlucky, Qi Xiaoxian had no choice but to put Li Jing on his horse, dismount and lead him back to the Qing Division. And he commanded his men to go to the southwest of the city, and to inquire about the provenance of the pile of corpses.

By the time I got home, the night was already soaked. After thinking about it, he still brought the person to the Qing Officials Division.

After instructing several subordinates to place Li Jing's body, Qi Xiaoxian went to the military aircraft office without stopping.

At this time, the imperial city was closed, it was about to reach curfew time, and there were almost no people on the streets, except for the patrolling soldiers.

Qi Xiaoxian rode a horse, which was naturally conspicuous. Along the way, people kept stopping him, and after seeing his face clearly, they were sincerely frightened and respectfully let him go, so that a lot of time was delayed along the way.

The emperor is in the queen's palace at the moment, and the two are having dinner together.

The father-in-law Chang beside the queen suddenly said: "Please forgive your majesty, the commander of the Qing official Si Qi asked to see him at the military plane." ”

"It turned out to be my brother-in-law, please invite him to this Rouyi Hall and have dinner together."

The emperor was suddenly interrupted, but his face did not show displeasure.

The queen was a little frightened, worried that something was going on, and wanted to ask a few more words, but the palace rules were very strict, and the rules of the past dynasties were that the harem was not allowed to discuss politics, so she stopped talking.

That father-in-law Chang had already gone out to ask for someone at the military aircraft department.

Qi Xiaoxian waited for a long time at the military aircraft before he saw a eunuch coming over from a distance and said, "The slave is late, please forgive me." ”

The sky was dark, Qi Xiaoxian opened his eyes wide, and only then did he see clearly that it was Chang Gonggong beside his sister, but for some reason he came to invite him. Don't dare to slack off at the moment: "Where is it?" Father-in-law Chang is busy with official business all day, so you can pay attention to take care. ”

The words made the heart of the Chang father-in-law bloom, and he said proudly: "Your Majesty invites Commander Qi to go to the Rouyi Palace for dinner." ”

Qi Xiaoxian was taken aback, the Rouyi Hall was the palace where the queen lived, and if she went by herself, her sister would have to avoid suspicion. Where will there be a convenient discussion in the Military Aircraft Department?

But I don't know what the emperor means.

Thinking like this, I felt a little apprehensive in my heart. That father-in-law Chang was already leading the way in front, and Qi Xiaoxian had to follow.

The two of them came to the Rouyi Hall one after the other, and after Qi Xiaoxian knelt down, he saw that an extra pair of chopsticks had been added to the table, and his sister was also there.

Qi Xiaoxian glanced at her with some confusion, but saw that she was also at a loss.

Halfway through the meal, the queen left the seat under the pretext of playing with the little princess, leaving only the emperor and Qi Xiaoxian.

Qi Xiaoxian opened his mouth several times to tell the emperor about Li Jing's killing, but he never found the opportunity. Whenever he wanted to speak, the emperor pulled him "Uncle Guo is long, Uncle Guo is short", Qi Xiaoxian was forcibly toasted a few glasses of wine, and his face was suddenly a little red.

He wondered in his heart that although he didn't drink much on weekdays, he would never drink a few glasses of wine.

Everything today is so weird. Qi Xiaoxian's heart jumped, and suddenly the sweat on his head flowed down like a waterfall, and he wiped it with his sleeve.

The table was now in disarray, and the food and wine were swept away. Qi Xiaoxian looked at the emperor who was also red-faced and drunk, and he was secretly uneasy.

comforted himself that the emperor was drunk today, and it was not suitable to discuss the case, so he wanted to leave.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, your ...... I can't drink enough, and I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness. Qi Xiaoxian stood up and saluted the emperor respectfully.

"Commander Qi! Why go back today? Could it be that the thousands of high-rise buildings in my palace can't live in you overnight? The emperor seemed to be drunk, and the words in his mouth became more and more ridiculous.

Qi Xiaoxian was obedient to the meaning, it turned out that he looked down on the emperor, and his heart tightened at the moment, and a violent uneasiness surged into his heart, and he quickly knelt down to confess.

The queen had long felt that something was wrong with the emperor today, and after making an excuse to leave the table just now, she had been observing outside, asking the little palace maid to report the situation of Qi Xiaoxian and the emperor at any time.

But I don't want the emperor to drink wine, and he becomes more and more unscrupulous, where is there still the appearance of a bright monarch on weekdays?

Seeing that his brother and husband seemed to be arguing, he pretended to come out casually and quipped: "Ouch, how old are you, why are you still a child, is it a quarrel over the amount of alcohol?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the huge palace suddenly fell silent, and those little palace maids had already knelt on the ground and trembled, and they didn't dare to come out.

The queen was stunned. If it were usual, those little palace maids would have already laughed out loud by themselves, where would they have such a frightened look at this time?

A flash of fear floated into the queen's black eyes.

"Queen, where are you at noon today?"

The emperor suddenly raised his head. The tone is very calm, not at all like a drunk person. At this moment, his face was serious, but there was infinite regret and hatred in his eyes.

The queen didn't know why he suddenly asked like this, and she didn't dare to look at him. "Plop" knelt down: "Back to Your Majesty, the concubine will accompany the little princess to play in Fenghua Garden at noon today." ”

"Where was the queen when the little princess was napping?" The emperor didn't give up, but still asked.

Qi Xiaoxian's eyelids jumped, and he quickly raised his eyes to glance at the emperor and the queen, the queen was at a loss at the moment, but there was no panic in her eyes; The emperor's face was serious, his eyes were dark, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

In a trance, I heard the queen reply softly: "When the little princess was taking a nap, the concubine was reading in the Rouyi Palace. ”

The emperor suddenly laughed, clapped his hands and said, "Okay! What a good one in the Rouyi Palace! You good brother can prove it! ”

Qi Xiaoxian and the queen were both confused, and they didn't know what the emperor was talking about. But he didn't dare to snub him.

The queen opened her mouth, but she couldn't make a sound, her eyes were dyed with a layer of horror, and she turned her head to look at Qi Xiaoxian.

Qi Xiaoxian is already a head and two big at this moment. Everything that happened today is too weird, and he believes that someone must have guided him to develop step by step to the present.

Qi Xiaoxian glanced at it, and suddenly met the pleading and blank gaze that his sister had cast, and his scalp suddenly went numb, so he had to reply: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister can't testify." ”

Suddenly, there was another burst of laughter, Qi Xiaoxian was inexplicable, and turned his head to look at his sister.

I wondered what happened to her and the emperor, which led to today's situation. saw that although she was forced to calm down, her whole body was trembling slightly, and her face was even more crying.

Qi Xiaoxian was a little distressed for no reason. As the saying goes, "a companion is like a tiger", and there is nothing wrong with it. Looking at the appearance of the queen now, people can't help but sigh.

While wondering, the queen shouted: "Grandpa Chang! All the palace maids in the Rouyi Palace, all the palace maids and eunuchs that the palace has seen at noon and afternoon today, are called to this palace. ”
