Chapter 513

On the second day, Xie Qian woke up and fixed his clothes before going out. At that time, it was already high tomorrow.

Xie Qian looked at the current sun and couldn't help feeling annoyed, it really was a mistake to drink.

Even though he thought so, there was no superfluous emotion in his eyes at all. When he saw the emperor, he was that unsmiling and cold-faced Master Tai Tuo again.

The matter of Xie Qian's overnight stay in the palace naturally cannot escape some well-informed people, and those people have to praise Xie Qian for winning the emperor's heart.

Even if Xie Qian wanted to return to the mansion, he still needed to tell the emperor.

It's just that when Xie Qian arrived, the emperor had already started reviewing the memorial. After seeing Xie Qian coming, he took Xie Qian to the side hall, where food was already prepared, "You have breakfast here first."

The emperor's voice was low and hoarse, and he couldn't hear any emotion, but those who were familiar with the emperor basically knew that the emperor was not in a good mood at this time.

Therefore, Xie Qian did not refuse, and he was kind and prepared to eat behind the eunuch.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xu Gui wants to see you outside."

After a while, there were eunuchs preaching, but seeing the air pressure on the emperor's body, their voices became smaller and smaller, and they could hardly be heard at the end.

The eunuch was obviously late and it was not suitable for him to speak, so he lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word, his body began to tremble.

"It's useless, didn't you see that the emperor is reviewing the memorial? There is no color at all, why don't you go down and answer!" Da Gonggong immediately said something to make the little eunuch who was passed on dismissed, and the little eunuch retreated immediately as if he had received an amnesty go down.

Xie Qian could naturally hear the movement of the main hall in the side hall, but because of Xie Qian's principle of coming, he was not born to ask about this matter. Sometimes it is not a good thing to know too much.

Although Xie Qian already thought so, he didn't say a word here, but it was a bit bad for the little eunuchs who have been serving Xie Qian.

They wished that Xie Qian would come forward to appease the emperor immediately after asking the reason.

The little eunuch breathed a sigh of relief when Xie Qian finished eating, so you should ask me what happened.

But to his surprise, Xie Qian still didn't say a word, returned to the main hall in silence, gave the emperor a slight salute, "Thank you for your hospitality yesterday, I'm here to bid farewell to the emperor."

The emperor glanced at Xie Qian, with no expression of joy or anger on his face, "Ai Qing can't go back for the time being, just wait."

Xie Qian didn't say anything, he just stood at His Highness after saluting again, without saying a word.

Eunuch Da, who was beside the emperor, had already found a chair with winking eyes, and brewed a pot of fragrant tea for Xie Qian beside the table.

Xie Qian saw that the emperor didn't have any important military and political affairs to discuss with him, so he sat quietly on the chair, took a sip of tea, and guessed what happened today, probably to deal with the prince...

"How about the tea?" The emperor glanced at Xie Qian.

"Which of the things here in the emperor's place has not been carefully selected, the tea is really good tea."

Although Xie Qian's answer couldn't tell the truth, no matter what, people couldn't catch the mistake.

"You old fox!" The emperor looked at Xie Qian sitting there solemnly, and didn't ask himself what happened, "You have really mastered this game of self-defense for so many years."

Xie Qian replied spontaneously, "The fact that I can reach this point is entirely due to the emperor's magnanimity."

Hearing what Xie Qian said, the emperor had a smile on his face for the first time today, and the people around couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after seeing the emperor smile.

"Concubine Xu Gui is still waiting outside?" The emperor was in a better mood because of Xie Qian's words. After thinking about the previous things, he still asked. Not much better.

The eunuchs around asked and heard the emperor ask again, and immediately replied, "If you go back to the emperor, the imperial concubine has been waiting outside for the emperor's summons."

Obviously, although they are here, they are still observing the objects outside all the time.

"Let him come in first." The emperor looked at Xie Qian who was about to hide from the side hall, and immediately waved his hand to stop Xie Qian, "You just need to stand here."

Xie Qian lowered his head and said, obviously the emperor was very angry because of this incident, and wanted to slap Concubine Xu Gui in the face in front of him.

Because Xie Qian has always been very tight-lipped here, in the eyes of the emperor, such a thing can be said to be irrelevant.

Usually when the emperor is so angry, Xie Qian himself rarely speaks up and says these things, and he always quietly waits for the emperor to finish his anger and prepare to deal with these things before saying these things.

Not long after, Concubine Xu was led to the main hall. Although Concubine Xu was not dressed inappropriately, Xie Qian could still see that Concubine Xu was panicked from her eyes.

Concubine Xu Gui was also taken aback when she saw Xie Qian, obviously she didn't expect Xie Qian to be here.

Before Concubine Xu Gui could ask the reason, Xie Qian had already saluted Concubine Xu to show respect.

Concubine Xu Gui hurriedly turned sideways to return the salute, and then performed a full salute and knelt on the main hall.

Generally, concubines don't need to perform the full salute when they meet the emperor when they reach the rank of concubine. Even Xie Qian didn't expect Concubine Xu Gui to perform the full salute directly.

But the emperor obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with this matter. Seeing Concubine Xu's salute, he didn't signal the people around him to help Concubine Xu up, "Why is Concubine Xu here today?"

Concubine Xu Gui kowtowed to the emperor, "Please punish me, Your Majesty."

"What do you think of Xie Aiqing?" The emperor looked at Xie Qian who had been resting with his eyes closed, and took a sip of tea.

"Left is nothing but the emperor's family affairs, how can an outsider, a minister, speak indiscriminately." Xie Qian, who was pointed at, calmly said the same thing as yesterday, but this time the emperor didn't give face, but replied the same. A sneer.

The emperor was obviously not very satisfied with Xie Qian's answer, but at the same time he also knew that it was absolutely impossible for Xie Qian to participate.

Although Xie Qian heard the emperor's sneer, he kept standing while answering the question. Although he didn't ask the people around him what happened, the emperor's expression and Concubine Xu Gui who came over to apologize in a hurry basically showed that the matter was wrong. The prince broke into a disaster.

"This country is my country, what happened is not my family's business?" The emperor was obviously dissatisfied with Xie Qian's words, so what he said was extra serious.

Before Xie Qian could explain, a group of people around had already knelt down...
