Chapter 78: Undercurrent



Feng Shuang didn't dare to do anything to Qiao Yuge after all. She turned to look at the emperor and said, "Then what can your highness do?"

The emperor put away his pen, his expression returned to normal, and he said, "I have my own way. You stay down first and keep an eye on Prime Minister An. The palace is in chaos, and he hasn't made any move yet. I wonder what that old man is up to!"

Feng Shuang left after receiving the order.

The emperor still seemed not to notice Qiao Yuge, but turned to Eunuch Li and asked, "What's the situation with General Shu?"

Eunuch Li always looks kind and benevolent in his daily life. In Qiao Yuge's heart, Eunuch Li is a rare person in the harem who makes Qiao Yuge feel very comfortable to communicate with, and he is someone Qiao Yuge is willing to get close to.

Qiao Yege had always treated him as the emperor's old nanny, taking care of every detail.

But when the emperor asked this question, the expression on Eunuch Li's face suddenly became very serious, and he immediately asked Qiao Yuge to come over. In fact, Eunuch Li was never as foolish as he appeared to be. In fact, he was just restraining his edge.

"General Shu is now guarding the border. If the neighboring country does not take action in another month, General Shu will come."

The emperor raised his eyes, put his hands behind his back and sighed, "After he came, he found that the palace was in chaos and all forces wanted to rise. I wonder how he would feel."

Eunuch Li finally couldn't help it at this time, and said helplessly: "I think General Shu has already known the news and is thinking about how to stand on the side. We shouldn't have too many expectations of General Shu. When the wind and clouds are turbulent, who doesn't want to be able to settle down?"

The emperor curled his lips, seeming to agree with what Eunuch Li said, but he was a little unhappy with this approach.

These matters were discussed in front of Qiao Yege, who looked at the emperor in surprise.

Although Qiao Yege was confused by what the emperor and eunuch Li said at this time, Qiao Yege was meticulous and still sorted out the situation.

That is, the Queen Mother's family, the Yun family, Prince Yun and Xiao Yuli have probably joined forces, hoping to help Xiao Yuli get the position of emperor. Prime Minister An is the relative of Concubine An, and he can be said to have a lot of influence in the court. Not only does he have Concubine An and Concubine An in the palace, but Concubine An also has her son Xiao Liang.

The An family is just watching and has not taken any action yet. However, if they take action, they will become the emperor's biggest opponent.

As for General Shu, he is probably Shu Fei's relative. Although he is at the border, he is always paying attention to the developments in the capital. He is probably thinking about who to join after he arrives.

The emperor was alone and weak. Not only did he not have his mother's family to help him, he didn't even have anyone he could trust. He was surrounded by enemies on all sides and he was standing in the middle, precarious.

Qiao Yuge raised his eyes to look at the emperor. His expression was very calm, as if he was not worried about these things at all and did not take them seriously.

Is there any other solution for this young emperor?

But why does the emperor, who has so much on his shoulders, not shy away from Qiao Yege at all?

The emperor stood there, seeming to feel the gazes falling on him. When he turned his head, he immediately met Qiao Yege's beautiful eyes.

The emperor immediately smiled, walked in front of Qiao Yege, and looked at her with his head down.

His breath was blowing on my face, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he looked no different from the cynical man he usually was.

"You look so unhappy, and you look at me with pity. Do you think my life is hard?"

Although the emperor said this, he did not look tired at all.

Qiao Yege did not feel relieved at all because the emperor asked this question in such a relaxed tone. Instead, she felt a little sorry for the man in front of her.

She pondered for a moment, then asked, "Your Highness, why did you bring me here? I am Xiao Yuli's cousin. Do you think I won't tell you these secrets?"

The emperor did not leave, he just stood there.

With clear eyes, he laughed and said, "Silly girl, these are not important things at all. Anyone with eyes can see that. Even if you tell your cousin, what difference will it make?"

Qiao Yege listened to the emperor's words. Although they seemed like comfort, there was still some trust in Qiao Yege in them.

Even Eunuch Li smiled and said to Qiao Yuge, "Your Highness certainly believes Qiao girl. Qiao girl, you don't know, right? When the emperor was whipped by the whip, he was so angry..."

Eunuch Li wanted to continue speaking, but the Emperor gave him a fierce look at this moment. Eunuch Li suppressed the words on his lips at this moment, coughed lightly, turned around and walked out, saying as he walked: "I have something else to do, so I will leave first."

Qiao Yuge thought that Eunuch Li was a bit strange. Why did he leave so suddenly? Eunuch Li hadn't said anything yet. What was he so anxious about?

But before she could ask, the emperor said to Qiao Yuge: "Now you can finally understand why my mentality is not very good, right?"

Qiao Yuge chuckled, and it seemed that now that she was in front of the emperor, she no longer felt the nervousness she had before. Instead, she felt relaxed and could even joke with the emperor.

"Your Highness, I have seen that although you always try to commit suicide, you have never succeeded. Perhaps this is just one of your methods, right? To confuse the forces in the harem? To make those people think that you are a weak and incompetent emperor?"

Qiao Yuge thought that if the emperor didn't think this way, he probably wouldn't be looking for death all day long, right? When the emperor heard Qiao Yuge say this, he immediately laughed, and then said nothing, just sat down and began to look at the prince.

Qiao Yege yawned and fell asleep on the table.

Qiao Yege slept until the afternoon. When she woke up, the emperor was no longer in the imperial study.

She was covered with a robe that had a faint fragrance, which was the emperor's scent.

She held the robe in her arms and walked out the door.

Outside, the sun was shining brightly. When she arrived at Taixing Palace, she saw several maids sitting together, all speaking in low voices, as if they were listening to something.

These maids were all sent from various courtyards in the harem. Each and every one of them wished they had two more ears so they could hear more news and deal with their masters better.

Seeing Qiao Yege coming, these maids did not hide.

After spending many days together, they all knew that Qiao Yuge was not a annoying person, nor was he nosy, did not like to complain, and did not make things difficult for others.
