Qi Lu was locked outside the palace door and was stunned for a moment. After all, it was the first time that the emperor pushed him out of the palace.

Although Qi Lu couldn't tell whether the emperor admired him or admired him, at least he admired him. How could he have imagined that the emperor would push him out so "roughly" and hit the palace door with a "bang!"

In fact, Ji Lin didn't mean anything against Qi Lu. It was too late for him to fall in love with the Taifu, but...

Ji Lin took Qi Lu's snack and immediately heard the sound of the clock. After midnight, a feeling of dizziness and weakness suddenly swept over him. Ji Lin closed the palace door in an instant and almost dropped the Chengpan in his hand to the ground. .

Ji Lin firmly stabilized his arm and put Chengpan aside. His whole body swayed, and he fell to the ground with a sound of "Bang!". He fainted without even getting on the bed.

Qi Lu was "unexplained" and left the dormitory in shock, heading towards the house where he was staying. He was thinking that the emperor was so anxious to kick him out, could it be possible...

The emperor hid a beauty in the palace, and he was anxious to have a romantic relationship with her. If that were not the case, why did the emperor drive him away in such a hurry? He must be hiding something shameful.

Qi Lu didn't know that the emperor was indeed hiding something "shady", but that thing wasn't hiding someone, but hiding... a little native dog.

Qi Lu didn't sleep well all night. First, he dreamed about some shameful things, and he didn't know why he did something very shameful with the emperor. Then Qi Lu actually dreamed that he turned against the emperor and refused to recognize anyone, and kicked the emperor off the bed. He kicked him down and threw the emperor out of the palace.

The sun shone on Qi Lu's face. Qi Lu blinked his eyes. It was rare to get up so early. I wonder if it was the sequelae of being kicked out by the emperor last night. Qi Lu had a "revenge" dream, and actually dreamed of himself. He's the big pig's trotter who refuses to admit his debt after eating.

Qi Lu couldn't sleep, so he simply got up and washed up. When Liuyang Jian came in, he saw that the Taifu had already finished washing. He was surprised and said, "Taifu, it's still early, what are you...?"

Qi Lu said: "I'm going out."

Qi Lu hurriedly went out, not to a nearby place, but to the palace where the Emperor was staying. He pondered all night and wondered whether the Emperor was hiding anyone. Qi Lu was not a person who liked to bother himself with guessing, so he naturally wanted to see it with his own eyes. Just take a look.

Qi Lu made an excuse and came to the palace early in the morning under the guise of asking the emperor whether yesterday's snack was delicious.

All the eunuchs were waiting outside. When they saw Qi Lu coming, they immediately said with a smile: "Master, are you here? The emperor is thinking of you!"

Qi Lu said strangely: "The Emperor is awake?"

If there really was some beauty hidden in the palace last night, the emperor would not have gotten up so early. He only heard the eunuch say: "Get up, get up early!"

The eunuch smiled and said, "The emperor is talking about this snack you made. That one is called... yes, fried lotus root strips. It is so delicious that the emperor can't put it down!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Lu felt relieved a little, but he still had doubts and asked tentatively: "Last night... was there anyone else in the emperor's bedroom?"

The eunuch was a little confused and said: "Others? This... I don't know, but the emperor has not allowed his ministers to wait on him at night these days. The ministers all serve outside the palace. But... there seems to be no one in the bedroom. Man, Taifu, you also know that although the ministers have not entered the palace to serve, they have to stay at night and keep watch here. If anyone comes in or out, they will definitely see it."

When Qi Lu heard this, he felt relieved, because what the eunuch said was true. Although the palace of Xue State was gorgeous, it was far less gorgeous than the palace of Master Luo. There was a back door in the palace of Luo Master.

, but there is no back door in Xue Guo's dormitory. If you want to pass through, you must go through the front door, but no one in the eunuch saw anyone else.

"A sneeze..." The emperor was adjusting his clothes and suddenly sneezed. He felt a slight chill on his back. He didn't know who was talking about him behind his back.

How did the emperor know that the person mourning him was Taifu Qi himself? Because of Ji Lin's unusual behavior last night, Taifu thought there was something wrong with him.

Ji Lin had no idea what was going on in his mind. He thought he had fainted while lying on the ground last night and had caught a cold, so he didn't take it seriously.

He lay on the ground all night last night. After dawn, he recovered from his appearance as a little local dog. He felt that his whole body was stiff and he moved his arms. The eunuch outside the temple loudly said: "Emperor, Taifu Qi is requesting an audience!"

Ji Lin fell into a coma last night, but returned after dawn. He was thinking about the delicious food Qi Lu made, so he got up together in the morning and ate all the midnight snacks as breakfast.

At this time, the eunuch announced that the Taifu was here. Ji Lin was very happy and said, "Please come in quickly."

Qi Lu quickly walked in respectfully from outside. He looked very respectful, with his eyelids lowered, but his eyes were darting back and forth, searching everywhere, as if there was really no second person in the palace.

Ji Lin smiled and said, "Master, you're here just in time. Have you had breakfast? Let's eat together."

Qi Lu didn't have breakfast, so he came "in high spirits" to catch the rapist early in the morning. He didn't catch anything, so he felt relieved and felt hungry immediately.

Ji Lin asked people to prepare a meal and invited Qi Lu to sit down. The two of them had breakfast together. Ji Lin also smiled and said: "Yes, the master came here late at night last night. Apart from the late night snack, what else did he have to do?"

?”

Qi Lu laughed dryly and said in his heart, yes, Lu was here to seduce the emperor last night.

Although he spoke so righteously in his heart, he said calmly on his face: "There is nothing else. I just remembered that I had not prepared meals for the emperor for several days, so I made some snacks, but...

The emperor seemed very busy last night."

Ji Lin was a little stiff when he heard him mention this. The emperor was indeed busy, busy turning into a little country dog. It was not because he didn't trust Qi Lu that he didn't tell Qi Lu about his transformation into a little country dog. It was because of this.

This kind of thing is too unbelievable and embarrassing. If I tell Qi Lu, what should I do to the emperor's face? Wouldn't it be a shame?

The more Ji Lin cared about Qi Lu, the less he wanted to tell Qi Lu such embarrassing things.

Ji Lin laughed and said: "Last night... I was too sleepy."

The two of them had their own thoughts. Ji Lin "bombed" Qi Lu away last night, but today he became extremely gentle. He gave up all the dishes that Qi Lu liked to eat and put them in Qi Lu's inheritance.

Be gentle and careful.

Qi Lu and the emperor had breakfast in the palace, and Xue Wei had also gotten up early. As the acting king of Xue State, although Xue Wei is not yet the legitimate Marquis of Xue, the top and bottom of Xue State cannot live without a king for a day.

They all need to be handled by Xue Wei.

Xue Wei was handling the government affairs of Xue State, and an eunuch came forward and said: "Master, there is news from the palace. The criminal minister Xue Hou wants to see the master."

The guilty minister Xuehou, isn't he talking about Xue Wei's father, Xuehou Shang?

Xuehou Shang and the prince had conspired with Xu Guo and had been imprisoned by the emperor in the palace. However, they had not yet been punished. When Xue Wei heard this, he knew that Xuehou wanted to beg for mercy. He narrowed his eyes and raised his lips.

He raised a slight smile and said, "Oh? It seems that I really should go for a walk around the temple."

Xue Wei asked people to prepare their horses and quickly left for Yuanyuan.

The prisons here are all important prisoners. Prisoners without a certain level will not be detained here. The most famous prisoners are the king and prince of Xue State. Of course, there is another very famous prisoner.

That is the state's prime minister, Rongju, and they are all imprisoned in this fort. Therefore, the outside of the fort is strictly guarded. Rows of soldiers and horses of the state of Xue are standing sonorously, lest anything go wrong.

Xue Wei walked over, and Xue Wei's soldiers and horses automatically moved out of the way. With great respect and caution, Xue Wei passed directly through the crowd and entered the cave surrounded by groups.

As the second son of the Xue Kingdom, and a concubine with no status, how had Xue Wei ever enjoyed such treatment? His father, Marquis Xue, and his brother, the Crown Prince of the Xue Kingdom, had never looked at Xue Wei in the eyes and almost did not regard him as a human being.

.

Perhaps many people will think that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and Xue Wei is always a son. He is the son of a prince, and no matter how poor his treatment is, he is still much better than an ordinary citizen. But this is not the case.

Xue Wei has been beaten and scolded since he was a child. Everyone in the palace knew that Xue Wei was an unpopular son, so even the palace people dared to bully Xue Wei. In addition, Xue Wei's mother died too early, and there was no one to protect Xue Wei.

In the palace, there was almost no food or water to drink.

Today, Xue Wei straightened his waist and walked into Yuanyan to visit his superior father and brother. How could he be unhappy?

Xue Wei walked in and immediately heard Xue Houshang's shout, shouting: "Wei'er! Is it Wei'er! My son, come quickly! Let Junfu out quickly! Hurry!"

Prince Xue was also imprisoned nearby. When he heard the footsteps, he immediately ran to the door of the cell, grabbed the fence of the cell with his hands, squeezed his head and looked out, stretched out his hand from the gap and grasped hard, but the result was huge.

Shouting: "Second brother! Second brother, please save me! Please save brother! Everything is due to the greed of the king and father and has nothing to do with me. Second brother, you know it well!"

Xue Wei walked past them, first passing Xue Houshang, and then passing Prince Xue. No matter how those two people shouted for mercy, Xue Wei did not even cast a single glance, as if those two people were worthless as grass on the roadside.

carry.

The Marquis of Xue and the Prince were both surprised. They thought that Xue Wei was here to visit them. The Marquis of Xue and the Prince used their savings to bribe the prison guards and asked them to pass on various messages, and then they brought the news to Xue Wei.

, I want Xue Wei to come and see them.

Unexpectedly, Xue Wei did come, but he didn't come for them. Xue Wei walked over without any distractions. Following the footsteps of "tap...tap...", Xue Wei walked to the dark room at the end.

Cell door.

There was a figure huddled in the cell, because it was already autumn, and although the weather was not very cold and the sunlight was strong at noon, every morning and evening, a dark and humid place like the cell was very cold. The man had his limbs curled up, holding his arms.

He hugged his knees, huddled in a ball, and huddled in the corner of the cell.

There were chains wrapped around his wrists, ankles, neck, and even his body, leaving only one shackle.

Xue Wei walked over, looked down at the embarrassed and weak figure, chuckled, and said, "How is Rong Xiang's stay here?"

That's right, the man curled up on the ground is none other than Xu Guo's prime minister, Rongju!

"Hula..." The chain suddenly moved. Rong Ju slowly raised his head. His face was buried in his knees. Hearing Xue Wei's voice, he raised his head slightly and took a cold look.

Xue Wei.

Xuehou and the prince watched Xue Wei walk over. Neither of them wanted to give up, shouting: "My son! My son! Please save your father!"

"Second brother! Listen to me! It's all your father's fault. I had no involvement at all!"

"You evil son! Fortunately, I love you so much, but you are so rebellious!"

"Anyway, you are already old. Even if you are born, you will not have many days to live. Father, if you don't take the initiative to take over everything, my son will be able to survive at least!"

"Nie Zi! Nie Zi - I... I will strangle you to death!"

"Second brother, please help me, please save me, please beg the emperor for mercy, second brother -"

Xue Wei listened to the shouting in his ears. Xue Hou and the prince were not in the same cell. At this time, the two people were almost fighting each other across the fence. The scene was really lively and exciting.

Xue Wei was in a good mood, and his smile was very gentle. The dandy expression on his face was gone. Instead, it was the joy of having control of power. The aura that was inconsistent with his handsome appearance was also gone. He no longer needed it.

Disguise, because now Xue Wei is no longer the precarious second son, but the acting king of Xue State!

Xue Wei ignored the noisy sound and said with a smile: "Rong Xiang looks bad. Could it be that these blind guards have treated Rong Xiang harshly?"

Rong Ju squinted his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Xue Wei, you are a bastard!"

Xue Wei smiled softly and said: "Rong Xiang said it as if Rong Xiang is not a villain who works hard and goes against the will."

Rong Ju stared at Xue Wei coldly. Xue Wei touched his chin and said, "You may not know something about your appearance. When you are angry, you are much more beautiful than usual."

Rong Ju gritted his molar teeth and seemed unwilling to talk to Xue Wei anymore. Xue Wei straightened his robe and said: "The emperor has sent people to reprimand Xu Guo. Counting the time, Xu Guo's reward should be coming soon.
