Moon Emperor

Chapter 216
Qi Longhuang withdrew her hand and straightened her sitting posture. She said seriously: "This is not a deal, nor is it forced."

"I will do all the things I said before. It's still the same sentence. I hope you will help me."

Su Yan took the initiative to change the topic, "Since you are willing to admit your mistake, then let's continue the unfinished topic."

"How much do you know about the events of the Su family back then? Who do you think is the most likely murderer?"

"I know a lot, but I'm missing the core part of the clue," Qi Longhuang frowned slightly when talking about this matter, and tapped her fingers on the table.

"As for the suspected target, there is indeed one. Originally, I planned to wait for you to take the initiative to force the Li family of Zhao County, put pressure on them, and see if I can force the person behind the scenes."

"But now I have changed my mind. You are better than I imagined. You are a chess player, not a chess piece. Let's change the plan."

"If you believe me, be patient, we'll wait for a chance."

"The time limit is within three months. If after three months, I still can't give you a satisfactory answer, then we will take the Li family first. You do it, and the Great Chu Dynasty will endorse it for you."

"At that time, you will have a legitimate reason. Even if you completely kill the Li family, others will not dare to refuse."

Su Yan sighed a little, this is the benefit of cooperating with the official, the same is to kill people, the previous scruples are directly eliminated.

There is only one remaining question:
"What if the murderer is still not found after killing the Li family?"

Hearing Su Yan's question, Qi Longhuang smiled slightly, "Don't underestimate me, I have been investigating this matter for more than [-] years, these three months are the last time to close the net, maybe it won't take so long In time, we will gain something, I assure you."

Seeing the female emperor's confident tone, Su Yan nodded, "Then listen to you, and I will wait for the opportunity you mentioned before I act."

"But before that, what do I need to do?"

Qi Longhuang reached out to hold Su Yan's hand, "Come into the palace to discuss world affairs with me?"

"Anyway, you can do whatever you like, whether it's romance, playing chess or drinking alcohol; during this period, you will see some people's desperate struggles. Of course, I will watch with you."

Su Yan is a little uncomfortable with the empress' overactiveness. Her hands are warm and delicate, with a touch of body temperature. Just being held by her can easily make people imagine
etc!Su Yan suddenly realized, isn't Qi Longhuang teasing him? ?
Obviously, this girl doesn't think she is a disadvantaged group, and she will take the initiative to ask for what she likes. Obviously, she has the intention to regard Su Yan as her prey now.

After recalling the memory, Su Yan immediately unceremoniously broke Qi Longhuang's hand away. He didn't want to be married back to the palace by this Majesty to become a queen.

Qi Longhuang was not angry either, but just looked at Su Yan with a smile.

Su Yan coughed, and greeted Lian Yue and the others: "Come and sit down, order food, order whatever you like."

Seeing this, Qi Longhuang also signaled her two subordinates to come and sit down together.

Since the top floor of the Phoenix Tower is an open building with ventilation on all sides, it can be regarded as a public place.

Therefore, the little actions Qi Longhuang made here have actually caught the eyes of some caring people.

Not everyone can see through Qi Longhuang's disguise like Ming Yun, but Shen Wushang and Xu Yan know each other.

The close ministers of the two empresses came out to hang out with an unknown "man" who looked like a disaster; then it was easy to guess who this man was.

When the spies from all sides saw this scene, their inner thoughts were actually more shock than other emotions.

Because Qi Longhuang has never behaved masculinely since she came to the throne, it stands to reason that she recruited three thousand heads and opened a big harem, and no one dared to say anything.

After all, the emperor let her be appointed, and this matter can only be regarded as a small detail.

But Qi Longhuang has never been close to any man, which even made Man Chao civil and military have secret worries.

Because in this era, if the emperor has no heir, once something goes wrong, it will be another big earthquake for the political situation.

Once a coup occurs, the cards will be reshuffled, and many people do not want their existing interests to be damaged.

Therefore, since ancient times, courtiers have not objected to the emperor marrying more women. As long as it does not delay state affairs, it is better to have more children and more blessings.

Many people expected Qi Longhuang to change, but when she really changed, it was a bit unbelievable for a while, especially because the identity of the other party was very special.

This makes people wonder that the current empress is not bad for men, as long as her standards and requirements are too high, ordinary people can't get into her eyes at all.

In the process of taking a seat, Lian Yue looked at Su Yan's hand, and somehow remembered something, her mood suddenly became a little low, and she was no longer the jumpy look she had before.

Xu Yan was very wary of Su Yan, but now that His Majesty was sitting with him, this Xu Ge leader couldn't step forward to forcefully separate them, so he had to sit next to them as much as possible.

When the remaining two people were also seated and before ordering food, Su Yan suddenly heard a crisp sound of metal knocking. This sound came from the bustling streets and alleys below, with a sense of familiarity.

Su Yan looked down through the railing subconsciously, and saw a middle-aged Taoist priest carrying a square wooden box turn around the street corner and walk towards the bustling crowd.

While knocking on the clapper in his hand, he yelled: "Grind the mirror, grind the mirror."

Huh?Su Yan couldn't help being very surprised, it was the mirror-grinding Taoist priest he had seen in Hangzhou City back then.

This back view, this voice, and this "shocking boudoir" sound, he assures that he is not mistaken, it is definitely the same person.

Has the other party also come to Luoyang?it's a coincidence
etc!Su Yan suddenly realized something was wrong, today was only the second day after he arrived in Luoyang, how could the Taoist priest grinding the mirror rush over so quickly? ?
Unless he can fly too.

After realizing this, Su Yan got up immediately, but during the short time he was thinking, Taoist Priest Mojing disappeared completely into the crowd.

Moreover, Su Yan's consciousness swept in that direction, but he didn't find the other party at all.

This shows that he has either gone far away, or has hidden his figure and aura.

The other people at the table were a little puzzled when they saw Su Yan standing up suddenly, but everything was normal when they looked in the direction he was looking at, and there was no suspicious person or abnormal situation.

"What did you see?" Qi Longhuang asked curiously.

Seeing this, Shen Wushang communicated with the East Factory spy who was hiding in the dark, in case he didn't notice the situation outside.

As a result, the spy did not find any clues, so they could only report the truth.

Even the master of Mingyun Zhai came over to Su Yan through voice transmission at this time and asked, "Bodhisattva, what happened?"

The astonishment in Su Yan's heart at this moment couldn't be overstated, even Ming Yun didn't notice that a Taoist priest who grinds the mirror suddenly disappeared while walking?
Or was it just a momentary hallucination just now.

After thinking about it, Su Yan didn't ask everyone if they heard the knocking sound or if they saw a Taoist priest, but just sat down calmly, "It's nothing, maybe I was wrong."
