Chapter 279 Offering to the Queen

Li Qingxiao sat on the hall and looked majestically at Li Qingyu standing below, "Brother, I sent you to investigate Yao Guozhang the day before yesterday. How's it going?"

Li Qingyu arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I have been sorting out some court cases at home these two days. I haven't been there yet. After returning home, I will go there immediately."

"Well, I promised the noble mother-in-law to help you investigate thoroughly. The royal brother will have no worries." Li Qingxiao smiled and looked at Li Qingyu.

"The emperor's ninety-five, the king of a country, the emperor's brother naturally obeys the order." Li Qingyu said neither humble nor arrogant.

Yao Yulu was relieved to hear Li Qingyu's words in the apse. The eighth prince held the military power, and the emperor would also avoid him a little. If he turned his face angrily, he still had no hope to save his father. Unexpectedly, he would agree so happily. Yao Yulu couldn't help but feel sad. The eighth prince treated her Why doesn't she know the affection?

In the Wanyu Palace, Qiao Waner hummed the gold, silver and jewelry given by the emperor on the ground fiercely, still untiring and had to step on it a few more feet. Xu Qiuyang advised, "Sister Wan'er, this is an offering given by the emperor. Sister, don't do this."

Qiao Waner looked at her and said, "This is given to me by the emperor. I want you to ask more questions."

Xu Qiuyang curled his lips and said, "Wan Guiren, if you think I'm tired of you here, I will go back to the Taoyuan Hall and wait for the day the emperor's canonization. I'm still young and not be afraid to wait."

Qiao Waner changed her mind and quickly pulled Xu Qiuyang, who was about to leave. She smiled and said, "Sister, don't be angry. My sister is also anxious for a moment and her mouth is open. Don't blame me."

Xu Qiuyang was simple-minded. When she heard whether Qiao Waner accompanied her or not, she immediately turned back angrily and said happily, "Where did my sister say? My sister is a nobleman, but I should accompany her. My sister can't stand it, and my sister won't lose her temper anymore."

Qiao Waner nodded and looked at Xu Qiuyang's innocent face. Her eyes turned quickly a few times, and she immediately made up an idea.

When Yao Yulu returned to Xinghui Palace, Ning'er immediately greeted her, with tears in her eyes, "Little Lord, it's not good for me to make the little master suffer."

Yao Yulu patted her on the shoulder and comforted her, "Silly girl, this is my family. How can I blame you?"

"However, the little master doesn't have to fight with his life. What should we do in case of any mistake?" Ninger was afraid when she thought of Yao Yulu's stiff body.

"Silly girl, although I have no family affection for my father, I am tied to the general's mansion. With him, I can walk flatly. If my father is accused of rebellion, how can there be a complete egg under the nest?"

Xuanzi nodded and said, "What the little master said is, Ning'er, if General Yao has something to do, how can the little master not be implicated? Even you and I can't escape. It's just that the little master, your move makes it too dangerous. In case... we really can't imagine it."

Red silk was so thrilling to hear what they said. They were opening their mouths and were surprised, but they heard a generous voice sounding beside them, "Red silk girl, what are you listening to? Are you so fascinated?"

The red silk was shocked and quickly looked back. Li Qingyu was looking at her with a smile, with a joking look on his face. The red silk couldn't help but kneel down and bowed loudly, "See the Eight Kings, the prince, I have never seen the prince come. I lost my courtesy. Please forgive me."

Li Qingyu smiled and said, "Red silk girl, don't be so polite. I'm not a tiger. Ha ha, can your concubine be in the palace?"

Yao Yulu had already heard Li Qingyu's voice in the room. She quickly tidyed up the palace clothes, gently moved the lotus steps, came out, and bowed sideways and said, "Eight Lord."

Li Qingyu looked at the woman in front of him, and his tiredness had been swept away. Obviously, after some grooming, he nodded slightly: "Your concubine, the emperor has issued an order to ask you to investigate General Yao's intention to plot a rebellion with me. I will listen to you."

Yao Yulu hurriedly saluted, "Your Majesty, don't say such a thing again. I am just a weak woman. How dare you tell the prince? I'm only worried about my father, so I came up with this strategy. Please forgive me."

"Your Majesty, it's cold outside. Please come into the room and discuss it again." Xiao Xuanzi looked at them there politely and couldn't help persuading them. Yao Yulu and Li Qingyu came to their senses and couldn't help looking at each other and laughing into the room.

In Fengyuan Hall, the queen asked casually while holding the fire, "Qiu'er, can you walk around the palace these days?"

Qiu'er's eyes turned around and said, "Empress, a big thing has happened in the palace these days."

"Oh, what's the matter?" The queen was shocked, but her face was expressionless.

"The Jade Concubine drugged the fetus in the noble concubine's womb to become dementia and caused the noble concubine to have a miscise."

"Oh, Yao sisters, they all have ghosts, which is also expected. It's not a big deal." The queen was secretly happy and remained calm.

"The day before yesterday, the emperor received a secret report that General Yao intended to rebel."

"General Yao has made great achievements, and he will definitely disdain to be a minister again."

"The noble concubine pleaded for General Yao, knelt outside the emperor's study for a day and a night, froze into an iceman, and saw the fragrance disappear." Qiu Er looked at the queen's face, and a trace of joy appeared, but it was fleeting. She continued: "The emperor warmed up the noble concubine with his own body, and now it is fine, and the emperor promised the noble concubine to participate in the thorough investigation of General Yao's conspiracy..."

Before the words fell, Qiu'er could only hear a sound. He quickly looked back and saw a handful of copper chopsticks falling to the ground. The Empress stood there with a pale face and muttered, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Fascinated by this little goblin?

Qiu'er didn't dare to speak. When the atmosphere was embarrassing, Qiao Wan'er suddenly came in and looked at the queen's worship, "Wan'er meets the queen."

"What are you doing here?" The queen immediately woke up, her eyes returned sharply, and stared at Qiao Waner, "What I told you to do, but you have done well now!"

Qiao Waner ploped and knelt down to the ground, "Mother, I don't know if the emperor has been seduced by the noble concubine. I forgive you."

"Hmm, blame yourself for your ability!" The queen snorted, "It's my eyes. Go down."

"Mother, give Wan'er another chance, Madam..." Qiao Waner immediately said anxiously, "I have a sister, young and cute, Madam..."

The queen looked at her, "You are really clever and can come up with this trick to make a beauty trick."

"Mother, I have no choice but to." Qiao Waner lowered her head and thought to herself, "Beauty tricks are still learned from the Empress." But he said, "Mother, my little sister is outside now. Will you see her first?"

"Hmm..." The Empress thought for a moment, "Call her in."

Xu Qiuyang timidly lowered his head and walked into the hall, staring at the hollow and gold-inlaid ground, listening only to a gentle voice above, "What's your name? Raise your head."

Xu Qiuyang gently raised his head and saw a lady sitting on it: with a golden silk eight-treasure bead hairpin, a string of five phoenix sunrise beads hanging on her chest, wearing a golden phoenix robe, a pair of phoenix eyes, two curved willow leaf eyebrows, sitting and can't see her body. I only felt that her pink smile was dark and powerful, and her eyes were not angry and her own anger. Xu Qiuyang panicked and hurriedly lowered his head again. "My maidservant is Xu Qiuyang. She is a newly elected beautiful girl in the palace. See the empress."

The queen nodded and said more gently, "Qiuyang, don't be afraid. I have always sympathized with everyone in the palace. Your parents are willing to send you to the palace when you are so young?"

When Xu Qiuyang heard the queen's question, her eyes turned red, and she couldn't help crying, "Empress, I have no parents."

"Ah!" The queen's body trembled, "Then how did you enter the palace?"

"Queen spare her life..." Xu Qiuyang suddenly woke up and said something wrong, and immediately kowtowed like garlic.

The queen waved her hand, "Don't panic so much. I'm not the cruel person. Let's talk about how you entered the palace. As far as I know, this pick girl is the daughter of the officials in the court. Since you have no father or mother, how can you enter the palace?"

"I am a maidservant, a maidservant in a first-class official's family, serving the lady." Xu Qiuyang thought for a moment and hid the official's name.

The queen nodded, "You girl has a conscience and won't say the name of the official. Well, you go on."

Xu Qiuyang kowtowed his head again and slowly said, "Although Miss is a daughter, she is ordinary. The adult's heart is often annoyed. That day, when he received the imperial edict to send his daughter to the palace, the adult was even more angry and pointed to the young lady and scolded. The young lady couldn't stand it and committed suicide. The adult was so painful and anxious that he thought of sending the maidservant to the palace to steal a beam and change the pillar.

The queen sighed slightly, "I don't know which day the rule is left. She has to choose a show girl to enter the palace every year. In this way, how many thousands of dollars have been hurt and how many lonely and widows have been added to the palace."

Xu Qiuyang heard the queen say so, but did not dare to defend, just bowed his head. The queen said again, "Since you enter the palace, I don't want to waste your adult's painstaking efforts. Would you like to find an opportunity to lead you to the emperor?"

Xu Qiuyang was overjoyed and kowtowed hurriedly. "If you can see the emperor, I will die and willingly. Qiuyang will never forget the kindness of the empress."

Qiao Waner looked at the queen's kind attitude towards Xu Qiuyang, and a burst of sadness surged up in her heart, but she changed into a smile and came forward and said, "Sister, don't worry, the queen is the most gentle and virtuous. Since the Empress has promised you, she will definitely do it, but when your sister is awarded the title of concubine, don't forget me. What a sister."

Xu Qiuyang took Qiao Wan'er's hand and said with a delicate smile, "Sister, don't say such a thing. Qiuyang is already satisfied to see the emperor. How can Qiu Yang's identity dare to be a concubine? My sister made fun of her."

"The plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky." The queen said coldly and waved her hand, "I'm tired. You can retreat first." Wan'er, please teach the rules in Qiuyang Palace.

"Yes, the slaves left." Qiao Waner pulled Xu Qiuyang, gave a deep salute, and slowly bowed out of the hall.
