Reborn Totalitarian Queen

Chapter 36 A good show

Shun Yu, who was standing beside her, tightened her expression and held her breath for a while.

However, Song Chuxi just mentioned it in passing, and knew in his heart that this matter was unreliable.

Seeing that she finally stopped crying, Duanmuqi breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back on the couch, and then said slowly: "The man was not caught, but now the whole city of Dayun is in chaos. Someone picked up a badge with the totem of the Beidi royal family on the street, and there was a lot of panic in the yamen, fearing that there would be secret visits by imperial envoys, and they also found the Song family and Duanmu's house, causing people to panic."

The real power in the Nantang area is in the hands of these two great families. As for the yamen established by the imperial court here, it is mostly a decoration, only responsible for tax collection and daily security in the city. The two masters make up their minds.

"What does this mean? Could it be that the marriage talks between the two families have collapsed, and the court is going to take advantage of the fire to loot, so is it going to attack our Nantang in advance?" Song Chuxi frowned, looking worried.

Duanmuqi narrowed his eyes to look at her.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Song Chuxi couldn't help being anxious. She crawled over and tugged at his sleeve, "What's going on? Don't be sloppy to me!"

Judging by her expression, she really looked ignorant of everything.

It is true that Duanmuqi did not suspect her of the matter itself.

Seeing that she was really in a hurry, Duanmuqi smiled and flicked his sleeves.

Song Chuxi was unprepared in advance, and was still holding on to his sleeve tightly. He was pulled down by him all of a sudden, and fell on him. His forehead hurt from being hit by his strong chest.

"What are you talking about halfway? You—" Song Chuxi muttered dissatisfiedly, trying to get up while rubbing her forehead.

But Duanmuqi didn't let her go, stretched out his hand, pressed her head back to his chest, and said leisurely: "Stay honest, you don't feel too tired to panic after such a toss every day. Anyway, I'm here, even if The sky in Nantang has collapsed, and the matter will not fall on your head."

Song Chuxi leaned on his chest, still obediently not moving, "I'm just curious—"

In front of him, she has always been well-behaved and obedient. Song Chuxi knew that what Duanmuqi wanted was her obedient obedience. He could tolerate her unreasonable troubles because she was calculating and cruel and ruthless.

This trip to Duanmu's house, Duanmuqi seems to be very tired, lying there with his eyes closed to rest his mind.

Song Chuxi tossed and tossed herself for a long time, and was also tired and in pain, so she fell asleep peacefully by leaning on him.

Shunying and Shunyu took the door and retreated tactfully. Everyone knew that the overly intimate behavior between these two people was inappropriate, but just like the rumors that have been circulating in the city of Dayun for the past two years——

The seventh son of the Duanmu family and the fourth young lady of the Song family live under the same roof, so how can there be any innocence between them?

Although such rumors did not reach the ears of the two of them face to face, it is impossible for Duanmuqi not to know that Song Chuxi is so smart, it is even more impossible for him not to guess.

It's just that he didn't mention it, and she didn't say it.

With such a commotion in Dayun City, Duanmuqi originally wanted to take Song Chuxi out to relax, so he lost his mind to get involved, so he ordered someone to pack his luggage the next day and returned to Hengwu Garden. Get busy and prepare for the New Year.

In Dayun City, there was a lot of noise for a while, but no one from the imperial court showed up. Just when the guards of the yamen were considering whether to hand over the tokens they had picked up to the imperial court, a murder case occurred in the yamen.

The yamen servant who kept the physical evidence was killed, and the token disappeared.

"This is really strange. Seeing the end of the year, people in the city are in panic." When Shunyu got the news and came to tell Song Chuxi, he couldn't help but sigh, "Miss, guess who will do it?" of?"

At that time, Song Chuxi was holding Xuerong in the yard to bask in the sun, lazily not wanting to open his eyes, so he replied nonchalantly, "It must be the one who lost the token!"

But in fact, she knew very well in her heart——

This matter has become quite complicated, and the effect is better than she expected.

Originally the token was stolen, the most likely reason is that Yin Shao discovered that Jiang Chenghai's token was missing and ordered someone to retrieve it secretly.

But he tried his best to suppress the rumors about this matter, but he was afraid that it would not be enough, so how could he kill people to expand the influence?

Thinking of this, Song Chuxi's lips curved into a smile unconsciously.

"When the incident happened, the other princes were all in the capital, and only Prince Yin Shao was inspecting the water conservancy on the Henan Road during that time. If there is a possibility of losing that thing in Dayun City, he is the only one. "At the same time, in Duanmuqi's study, Great Wall also reported the same news to him.

At that time, Duanmuqi was also leaning on the back of the chair with his eyes closed, and the smile on his lips was exactly the same as that of Song Chuxi, "If that thing belonged to him, then whoever sneaked into the government office to steal the token and kill people that day would be There should be two groups of people one after the other. It seems that there must be a good show in the capital."

What he said was certain, but it was completely baseless.

Great Wall listened with suspicion.

Duanmuqi smiled like a fox, and deliberately hung his appetite and stopped talking.

Tianjin.

Royal Palace.

Royal study.

After the beginning of winter, there was a heavy snowfall in Tianjing, and it was freezing cold.

Yin Shao had just finished his errands in Henan Province and returned to Beijing. Before he could return to his residence, he was summoned into the palace by an imperial decree from the emperor, and he knelt in the snow for two hours.

The emperor's imperial study room was brightly lit, and several ministers were left to discuss government affairs. After the second watch, those ministers left one after another, and the eunuch Ji Hai who was next to the emperor came to deliver an order, "His Royal Highness, Your Majesty, please go in!"

At that time, a thick layer of snow had fallen on Yin Shao's body, and his knees were numb and painful for two hours.

He stood up expressionlessly, but his steps were very steady, he wiped off the snow on his body, and followed Ji Hai into the imperial study.

The brazier in the hall was very hot, and there were two layers of ice and fire, almost stepping in for the first time, Yin Shao felt uncomfortable all over.

The emperor sat behind the large table, slowly sipping tea with a cup in his hand.

King Huai Yin Liang was at his side, and when he saw Yin Shao coming in, he quickly put down the teacup, stood up and saluted, "My brother has seen the emperor!"

"My brother, you don't have to be polite!" Yin Shao said lightly.

The eyes of the two people met for a while, and it looked plain, but there was an intense and subtle aura spreading in the air.

"My son, pay respects to the emperor!" Yin Shao stepped forward and knelt down in front of the emperor's case.

There was no special expression on the emperor's face. With a wave of his hand, he swept the impeachment memorial in the corner of the case down in front of him, and said calmly: "Look at it, and give me an explanation after reading it. I hope-you Can pass round!"
