Chapter 73
"My minister has seen Concubine Qian."

No matter how arrogant and domineering the Seventh Prince was, he had to bow his head and salute when he saw a woman in the harem, let alone the prince's biological mother, Concubine Qian Gui, who was the most important in the harem.

Concubine Qian Gui nodded slightly. She knew that her father had approached the Seventh Prince and wanted to seek his help, but he politely refused.

What qualifications does this idle prince have to reject them, just relying on the favor of the Holy One since he was a child?
Since ancient times, how many brotherhoods have disappeared in the face of the royal family's machinations. Concubine Qian Gui does not believe that the Seventh Prince's favor can last.

"Eunuch Huang, can you pass on the message for my concubine?"

There was a hint of arrogance in the brisk tone, Qian Guifei didn't really want to greet Xiao Yi very much, she just wanted to see the Holy Majesty as soon as possible.

"Back to the imperial concubine, I'm afraid..."

"What's the matter? Is it because my concubine can't even send a message now?"

Concubine Qian stared straight at her eyes, angrily scolding the servant in front of her.

"Back to your mother, that's not the case. No matter how brave you are, you will not dare to lie to your mother. However, today, there is really a holy decree, and even the prince will not be able to see him."

Huang's servant was about to cry, and looked at Xiao Yi with pleading eyes, hoping that the prince could explain something for him.

But who is Xiao Yi, his thick eyelashes didn't move, as if he didn't hear Huang's servant's words just now.

Huang's servant was thinking that someone could knock him out at this time, and seeing Xiao Yi's expression that had nothing to do with him - my ancestor, even if you don't speak, don't just stand there, you really want him old life.

"This concubine wants to see something. Who is the prince, is it more important than this concubine and the prince?"

Concubine Qian Gui raised her voice inadvertently, and the anger in her heart quickly spread to her chest.

Xiao Yi could tell now that Concubine Qian treated him so unreasonably and didn't take him seriously because she cared about him rejecting Prime Minister Qian's proposal and becoming a member of the prince's camp.

Childish, ridiculous!
"Young concubine, don't you sometimes feel that you want too much?"

Xiao Yi stared intently at the Tengzhu in front of him, and lightly threw out a very sarcastic remark.

"I don't know what the prince means, please explain clearly!"

Concubine Qian Gui roared at the top of her throat, her face was flushed, she was not ashamed but angry.

"It's nothing, this king is just thinking, if he can see you like this, I don't know how disappointed he will be."

The waiter Huang pricked up his ears and listened. Who was he referring to? Could it be that the Holy Majesty would be extremely disappointed when he saw Concubine Qian's rude attitude?
These two sentences of the Seventh Prince are really cloudy and obscure.

But there was always someone who listened and understood what he was talking about. Concubine Qian Gui's face, which was flushed a second ago, turned pale in an instant.

"He... why did you mention him..."

Only every time that person was mentioned, Concubine Qian Guifei became not like her usual self, with no sense of propriety.

"What's the noise outside?"

Suddenly, a deep voice sounded in the Guangming Hall, interrupting the dispute outside the hall.

Attendant Huang hurriedly knelt down to the people who came out of the hall, Concubine Qian also straightened her face but still looked stiff and paid her respects to the Holy Majesty.

"My lord, I'm here..."

"You go back first, Yi'er will come with me."

The Holy Majesty, who was awakened by the loud noises outside the hall, looked displeased, but his will made Concubine Qian feel ashamed, so she could only watch Xiao Yi follow into the Guangming Hall.

"Imperial concubine, please come back." Huang Neishi cupped his hands and bowed, bowing his head and saying nothing more.

The corner of Qian Guifei's mouth couldn't help twitching a few times, it was the first time she was driven back face to face by the Holy Majesty.Looking at the beautiful and elegant Bing Dilian on her body, she felt particularly glaring and ironic at this moment.

Concubine Qian pulled off the hibiscus tulle from her shoulders, flung it vigorously on the face of the maid behind her, and stomped her feet back to her own palace.

In fact, since the prince's accident last time, the Holy Majesty rarely came to the harem, but he was more diligent in court affairs, and then supervised the prince's reading and listened to the prince's master's lectures.

Concubine Qian Guifei didn't see Sheng Sheng once a month. Although she had the prince as a guarantee, she had the queen mother and the queen in charge of the harem. The sense of crisis had never been eliminated.

Concubine Qian Gui wanted to take a gamble today, so she specially dressed up gracefully to meet the Holy Majesty, but she unexpectedly met a malevolent star at the entrance of the Guangming Hall.

Especially when Xiao Yi mentioned that person, long-standing memories flooded her heart, as if a sharp knife was cutting her flesh inch by inch. It had been a long time since she felt that her throat was being choked so that she couldn't breathe. a feeling of.

"Miss, are you alright?"

Walking in the splendid imperial palace, Concubine Qian Gui couldn't help but feel chills all over her body. Seeing that her complexion was not good, the maids beside her asked cautiously.

"How many years have I been living in this prison..."

Comparing the envied imperial palace to a prison, the maid immediately knelt down to Concubine Qian. If such rebellious words were heard by the Holy Majesty, it would be a crime of disobedience.

The satin skirt that dragged the floor made a rustling sound when walking on the fine gold and stone bricks. Concubine Qian always felt a little unreal when stepping on the ground. Looking at the high wall and gold bricks walking along the road, she vaguely remembered that she was being held by her father at that time. The first day of being sent to the palace.

At that time, she was only 13 years old, and she was selected as the show girl in the Prince's East Palace.

Now she ranks first among noble concubines, below the empress, and is the biological mother of the crown prince.

What's not to like?I have gone through so many changes, stepped on the blood of so many people to get to where I am today, and that person's sacrifice.

Was Xiao Yi really asking her just now, or was he asking her for that person?
"It's okay, let's go."

Lifting her hesitant steps, the breeze blew on her face, and there was a hint of coolness. Concubine Qian put the hibiscus flower gauze over her shoulders again, and instead of looking back and stamping, she walked forward without hesitation.

The road I chose at the beginning, I have to finish it with tears after gritting my teeth and swallowing blood, right?
Yi'er, Xiao Yi can't remember how long it's been since he heard His Majesty call him that.

Concubine Qian Gui should have been pissed off just now, when they were all young, the Holy Majesty often did the same, pulling Xiao Yi to whisper, making Concubine Qian Gui, who was still a beautiful girl at that time, very angry to death.

However, at that time, they were four people.

But now, the emperor and his ministers treat each other, and Xiu Nu has become a noble concubine.Four people also became three people.

"Cough cough..."

The Holy Majesty's unstoppable cough pulled Xiao Yi back from his thoughts.

"Brother Huang, can the imperial physician come to see you?" Xiao Yi asked with concern.

Huang's servant hurriedly put on the yellow short gown and brought in the medicine, but the saint just waved his hand to let him put it on the desk first.

"I've seen it, it's all right."

The Holy Majesty is too lazy to take medicine, he is busy with government affairs recently, he often forgets to eat when he is too busy, and he doesn't care about minor ailments like headache, brain fever and cough.

"My lord, you have to persuade the Holy Majesty, it will be harmful to the dragon's body if it goes on like this."

Seeing that the Holy Majesty would not listen to persuasion, Huang Neishi had to ask for foreign help.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. I'm fine. The reform is just around the corner, and there are enemies outside. I really can't relax for a moment."

The Holy Majesty called Xiao Yi to sit down and talk, and when he talked about major national affairs, he changed his playful tone and returned to his normal color.

"Actually, I'm here to step down from the post of governor-general."

The Holy Majesty waved his hand to make Huang's waiter retreat first, leaving the two brothers to talk alone.

"Are you here specially to join my army today?"

Henry Zhang's heroic and handsome eyebrows frowned, very dissatisfied with Xiao Yi's idea.

"Brother Huang was joking. I agreed to be the governor at the beginning to help Brother Huang punish corruption. Now that several big tigers deserve to be punished, they should be punished to death. Now it is time to hand over this position to someone who is quite capable and reliable. "

Henry Zhang saw that he was not joking at all, and knew that this idea had been around for a long time.

"If you really want to help me, you shouldn't have this idea."

Henry Zhang retorted with a solemn face, and said in a deep voice.

Xiao Yi knew that the Holy Majesty was angry, and it would be useless to continue arguing. Things that Henry Zhang believed were generally difficult to change. He planned to work hard, and would always find a suitable person to take the post of governor for him.

He couldn't tell the Holy One that he took advantage of this position to save people, right?

The Holy Majesty can't spit out a mouthful of old blood. I have seen arrogant and unreasonable people, and I have never seen such willful ones.

"After all, I don't have much time. It's helpless not to be able to relieve the emperor's worries, let alone occupying a false name to disturb Chao Gang."

Playing the tragic card really diverted Henry Zhang's attention.

"How is that doctor? Isn't he a miracle doctor? How can he not be cured? If he can't be cured, he will be pulled out and chopped up!"

Henry Zhang said nervously and angrily that he was not ignorant in the palace, and news of Xiao Yi's illness a few days ago naturally reached his ears.

"Thanks to her, I can stand in front of the emperor today. However, she didn't say that it can be cured, so..."

"So what, waiting to die? I will never let you die before me!"

It is rare for the Holy Majesty today to show his emotional side and say such words. Fortunately, no outsiders were present at this time, otherwise it would be rumored that the Seventh Prince was the culprit.

Xiao Yi sighed helplessly, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said calmly: "It's been so many years, why is Brother Huang still like this? Life and death depend on fate, wealth and honor. Isn't it?"

"Don't talk about frustration. If you are willing to live like this, why do you want to track down that person's whereabouts. Do you think he is not dead yet?"

There was a hint of anger in the tone, and Henry Zhang's originally peaceful expression also showed cracks, his dark eyes showed fierce determination, and he stared at Xiao Yi closely without letting him go.

"Brother Huang, you don't believe he's dead, do you?"

Xiao Yi raised his eyes and stared back at Henry Zhang, and the words he spoke with his thin lips were full of inquiry.

Henry Zhang was taken aback for a moment, caught off guard that he would ask such a question.

"When he was buried, you and I were both present, can there be a fake?"

"Of course the corpse can be faked. Don't you think the burial was rushed at that time? There are many suspicious things."

Xiao Yi's certainty made Henry Zhang's head start to ache. He originally thought that Xiao Yi was just making trouble for no reason, but now he could hear from his tone that he should have found a lot of doubts.

"Even if he is not dead, so what if someone finds him? Do you want me to confess to him and pay him his life?"

Henry Zhang's voice was getting higher and higher, and his uncontrollable expression seemed a bit ferocious. He stood up in a hurry and almost brought down the dragon chair behind him.

"no……"

Xiao Yi replied softly, he didn't want to irritate Henry Zhang anymore, after all, the Holy Dragon's body is important, and if there is a mistake, it is related to the safety of the country.

"Stop it, he's already dead, the one who died in front of us, have you forgotten?"

Henry Zhang's right hand began to tremble, how could he forget the situation that day, he cut the sword to the man's legs with his own hands.

Xiao Yi's face was pale, and he inadvertently showed a desperate and sad expression. He looked at Henry Zhang's out-of-control right hand and was amazed.

It turned out that it was the same with Henry Zhang. Xiao Yi walked to his side, pressed the trembling right hand regardless of the difference between the monarch and his ministers, and a hoarse voice sounded: "Brother Emperor, I was wrong. I won't look for it again in the future, He's dead, that's right."
