Chapter 238 Don’t Say

There was very little space in the carriage, and the emperor gave people a very oppressive feeling at this moment.

When watching TV in the past, people said that you shouldn’t look directly at the emperor’s face, but An Jiu just stared at the emperor.

Of course, no one else would dare to do that.

It was the indulgence of the emperor and the tyrant that made her no longer feel the fear and vigilance she had when she first arrived.

"His Majesty……"

She had a vague guess in her mind.

She was probably the spy that the Chu people had placed in the palace.

"Your servant..."

The emperor shook his head and said, "Don't say it."

The emperor's eyes are actually very beautiful. They are very sharp when they are sharp, and they can draw people in when they are gentle.

An Jiu was a little dazed for a moment and forgot what he was going to say or do.

"I……"

The emperor made a gesture to keep quiet, then moved closer, with his nose almost touching An Jiu's. He said word by word, "Xiao Jiu, some small favors are just candy wrapped in poison, which will drag people into the abyss."

The sound of horse hooves clattered, and even when they arrived at Meihua Villa, An Jiu was still frightened.

She didn't understand. The emperor obviously hated the Chu spies so much, and these spies also killed his mother.

But knowing that he might be a spy, why did he keep it secret for her and say those things to her? And why did he believe her...

he……

An Jiu pursed her lips.

"Go away silly goose."

The emperor was not at all steady tonight. He looked like a lively young man in his early twenties, looking at An Jiu with a smile.

An Jiu jumped down from the carriage.

They entered the villa together and quickly changed their clothes.

The emperor found a corner and sat down.

There were not many people in the villa today, but those who came to buy were naturally sincere. For example, the jewels brought by the emperor. Some powerful nobles in the south were proud to own royal treasures and did not care about money at all. They bought the treasures one by one.

But in the future, they will all become knives stabbing them.

The emperor was very satisfied and asked An Jiu what he wanted?

How could the Chu spies dare to ask for anything?

The Chu spy shook his head.

"Your Majesty has given enough." The Chu spy replied in fear and trepidation.

The emperor chuckled.

The tyrant did not appear that night.

The emperor was very calm, because the tyrant did not appear every day before. It was only after An Jiu came that he came so frequently.

But Anjiu was very worried and had a bad feeling.

Jiang Sheng went to investigate Concubine Chun but found nothing. For one thing, almost all the members of the Jiang family were dead, and those old people who had lived with Concubine Chun before she entered the palace were either killed or sold after something happened in the Jiang family. How could he find them?

As for the palace...

Aunt Qu is one of them, but she was not brought in from outside the palace by Concubine Chun, nor was she Concubine Chun's personal maid. She was promoted later, so there were many things that Aunt Qu didn't know very clearly.

The emperor looked at the things sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and said, "Go and call Qiao Dong."

After a while, Qiao Dong arrived. Like Eunuch Li, he loved to paint his face, but not as exaggeratedly as Eunuch Li. He lowered his head, pinched his throat when speaking, and smiled flatteringly: "Your Majesty..."

The emperor glanced at him casually before asking, "Did the Ministry of Internal Affairs receive a new batch of silk?"

Qiao Dong nodded and said yes.

The emperor said: "Keep the best for me."

Qiao Dong didn't ask why. This was the emperor's business and he was not qualified to ask.

"In addition..." The emperor asked for some more things. At this time, Jiang Sheng came, and the emperor asked Qiao Dong to leave.

Qiao Dong walked out step by step, while Jiang Sheng inside said excitedly: "Zhang Wenyuan said everything..."

When Qiao Dong left completely, the smile on Jiang Sheng's face disappeared.

"Cousin, these people are all old foxes. He won't believe us if we say this."

The emperor said, "I didn't ask him to believe this."

What is that?

Jiang Sheng looked at the emperor, who said, "If he is the murderer, he must know that I am beginning to suspect him. He will take a risk and kill Zhang Wenyuan to eliminate future troubles, or do something that goes against common sense."

"But what if he doesn't do anything?" Jiang Sheng knew Qiao Dong. To be able to become the head of the Imperial Household Department, he must be a man who is good at dealing with people.

Will he fall into the trap obediently?

Emperor: "If he is not a spy of Chu, then it's nothing, but if he is pretending, he will definitely be exposed..."

Jiang Sheng understood: "Then I will send someone to keep an eye on him."

As long as Qiao Dong shows any sign of abnormality, we will definitely catch him.

An Jiu was full of doubts. Did the emperor actually suspect Qiao Dong?

But she was more suspicious of Han Yun...

The emperor seemed to see through her thoughts.

"What? Isn't he suspicious?" the emperor asked with a raised eyebrow.

An Jiu pursed her lips and finally asked her question.

"Your Majesty, why is it Qiao Dong?"

The emperor chuckled and said, "Han Yun doesn't have time. He is in the imperial mausoleum with Concubine Shu. There are some things in the palace that he can't do."

For example, when Prince Ruyang poisoned him, he needed someone in the palace to help him. The emperor used to think it was the empress dowager, but judging from the empress dowager's various reactions, there were many things she didn't know at all.

And Han Yun was not in the palace. How could he pass the message to Wang Decai and plot to harm the emperor?

And those palace maids that idiot killed before.

Someone has to carefully select and send the people over.

This person must have certain power and status in the harem, and must also have the means to do so.

Xiaojiu’s words yesterday were like a thread that strung all the beads together.

The emperor suddenly understood.

Why was it that the man's martial arts skills were so high, and he had countless opportunities to kill him, but he didn't do it, but instead pretended to be a ghost and caused so much trouble.

Just as Xiaojiu said.

That man thought of himself as a cat and was playing tricks on the emperor. He wanted to make the emperor suffer, sad, disgraced, and lose everything, so that he could achieve his goal of revenge.

After all, it is too easy to stab someone to death.

He had been lying dormant for so many years, not just to see the emperor die.

After listening to his analysis, An Jiu nodded in agreement. Thinking about it this way, Qiao Dong was indeed very suspicious.

"Your Majesty, will you punish him?"

The emperor shook his head and said with a smile: "Not yet, let's play the long game and catch the big fish."

…

The spring sun is shining brightly.

The weather is exceptionally good.

Concubine Shu had someone deliver the soup she had cooked herself.

Only after checking that there were no problems was it served to the emperor's table.

The emperor said that the palace servant who brought the soup said, "Concubine Shu is very thoughtful."

But he didn't touch the bowl of soup.

After dinner, he said he wanted to go see the Queen Mother.

An Jiu "..."

Go see the Queen Mother again?

It's almost like getting rid of the empress dowager's anger.

The Queen Mother was imprisoned and fell ill several times before she recovered.

She was walking in the yard when the emperor came.

There was a hint of smile on her face, but it disappeared after she saw the emperor.

"What are you doing here?" The Queen Mother glared at the Emperor unhappily.

The emperor looked at her and said, "The queen mother seems to be in a good mood."

The Queen Mother said nothing, but her eyes were full of resentment.

The emperor exhaled: "Queen Mother, in fact, you and I have been used by others."

The Queen Mother sneered: "Don't try any tricks."

The emperor sighed.

"I never play tricks. I came here today because I have something to tell the Queen Mother!"
