Chapter 27 The Prejudice of the Emperor of Chu
Ye Qingyu informed the Emperor of Chu that the treasure map had been collected and they were only waiting to choose a day to set out to find the treasure. The Emperor of Chu was delighted to hear this, as it was said that this treasure was left by the previous dynasty and contained countless rare treasures.
"The search for these treasures is of great importance and must not be leaked. Do you have any trustworthy companions? You can choose any of the palace guards!" The King of Chu attached great importance to this matter.
Ye Qingyu thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Emperor, my nephew has a close friend in the martial arts world, and he can go with me!" He thought to himself that this was a good opportunity to let Emperor Chu and Qing Yi get acquainted. They would meet sooner or later anyway, and he could also gain some credit for Qing Yi.
The Emperor of Chu frowned slightly, a look of doubt on his face. "Are my friends from the Jianghu reliable?" The Emperor was puzzled. How could the Jianghu know about national affairs? In his opinion, the Jianghu people acted unruly and it was hard to guarantee that the news would not be leaked.
"Do you still remember the person who helped me detoxify three years ago? His name is Qing Yi. He saved me by introducing the poison into his own body, which also caused his internal energy to be trapped and he almost went crazy..." Ye Qingyu was filled with guilt when he thought of this incident. He felt sorry for Qing Yi. The King of Chu suddenly realized that it was this person who saved Ye Qingyu three years ago. He had long wanted to summon this savior, but he heard that his body was damaged while saving Ye Qingyu and he had been recuperating. Could it be that he has recovered now?
"A few days ago, the Martial Saint returned from his travels and helped him to channel his internal energy. Now he has recovered as normal and came to the capital with me this time." Ye Qingyu said.
"Oh? Then bring him to see me. I have long wanted to meet this hero." The Emperor of Chu was very curious about what kind of person this Qing Yi was who was willing to risk his life to save others. He thought to himself that he must reward this person well.
"Uncle Emperor, he grew up in the Western Regions and has a lively personality. I'm afraid he doesn't understand the rules of the palace..." Ye Qingyu made arrangements in advance to prevent Qingyi from breaking the rules and being punished after entering the palace.
"Western Regions? What is his relationship with the leader of the Western Regions Demon Cult?" When Emperor Chu heard the word "Western Regions", the name Mo Qitian instantly appeared in his mind.
He knew about the entanglement between Chu Shi and the leader of the Demon Cult, Mo Qitian. When the late emperor learned about it, he was furious and it really caused a lot of trouble.
Ye Qingyu looked calm as he uttered two words: "Master and Disciple." After that, he watched the changes in Emperor Chu's expression.
The Emperor of Chu looked solemn and silent for a long time before he finally spoke slowly, "Bring him to see me."
"Yes." Ye Qingyu responded.
"Okay, go back to the bedroom and have some rest first, then come back for the dinner. You can stay in the palace for the next few days." The Emperor Chu's gentle voice was full of care for Ye Qingyu.
"Uncle Emperor, Qing Yi also knows something about the jade shop incident. Can he join me in investigating it?" Ye Qingyu did not leave immediately, but continued to ask.
"You trust him so much?" Emperor Chu raised his eyebrows slightly and couldn't help but look at Ye Qingyu.
"Trust." Ye Qingyu did not hesitate.
"..." Emperor Chu fell silent again, looked at Ye Qingyu's firm and clear eyes opposite him, then sighed and said, "Forget it! I'll leave this matter to you, and you can decide everything. But I still want to remind you that the people of the Western Region Demon Cult are barbaric and cunning, so don't be fooled by appearances." The tone of Emperor Chu revealed his disgust and prejudice towards the people of the Demon Cult.
"Thank you, Uncle Emperor, for reminding me. He is a trustworthy person." Ye Qingyu stubbornly emphasized Qing Yi's character. He secretly wondered why the Emperor of Chu had such an opinion of Qing Yi, whom he had never met. Perhaps it was because of past events, and whether the Demon Lord or Mo Qitian had left a very bad impression on the Emperor of Chu.
Ye Qingyu bid farewell to the Emperor of Chu and returned to her bedroom in the palace to rest, waiting for the Emperor's dinner. This dinner was similar to a family dinner, attended only by the princes, princesses, their husbands, the Empress and the two imperial concubines in the capital. After a round of greetings, there was a feeling of joy.
Before the banquet, Ye Qingyu asked to see the Queen in advance. After some greetings, he also told her about his practice of Bodhidharma's magic.
After hearing this, the queen felt very sorry that the marriage could not be facilitated, but the emperor did not say anything, and she could not force the young prince of the northwest to give up martial arts and marry and have children. The queen's thoughts could not be made public, so she could only take it one step at a time.
The next day, Ye Qingyu bid farewell to the Emperor and returned to the palace. He was always thinking about Qingyi. After all, Qingyi had just arrived in the capital and was unfamiliar with the place, so he would inevitably feel bored. Although Qingyi would not be restricted in the palace without his father, it still felt a bit rude to leave him there like this.
Ye Qingyu and Qingfeng walked into the mansion together. Manager Lin had already come out with a group of people to greet them.
"Young prince, you are finally back!" Steward Lin finally welcomed the little prince back.
"Well! Is there anything wrong in the mansion?" Seeing the look on Manager Lin's face, Ye Qingyu guessed that something might have happened in the mansion.
"No big deal... It's just that Mr. Qingyi..." Manager Lin hesitated, his eyes revealing a hidden meaning. Qingfeng, who was standing by, heard this and wondered: Could it be that Mr. Qingyi has already caused trouble since he arrived?
"Speak!" Ye Qingyu understood instantly and walked straight into the front hall to ask Steward Lin to report. However, just as Steward Lin was about to speak, Ruyi rushed in with a group of maids, crying.
"Master, master, you have to make the decision for us!" Several women knelt down in unison, crying.
Seeing this, Ye Qingyu suddenly felt a headache and started to wonder in his heart: Could it be that Qing Yi provoked them?
Ruyi was three years older than Ye Qingyu and had been serving him since he was in his teens. Ye Qingyu was also quite affectionate towards her and had always served by his side as the head maid.
However, ever since the King of the Northwest designated Ruyi as his concubine, Ye Qingyu was reluctant to let her serve him closely. But considering their years of friendship, it was not easy for her to just leave, so as not to embarrass her.
"Ruyi, what's wrong with you? Get up and answer." Ye Qingyu asked calmly. With Qingyi's style of doing things, it was not surprising that he would cause some trouble.
Ruyi's face flushed crimson as she angrily said, "Master, the man you brought back is simply... a complete scoundrel and a scoundrel!"
But before she could finish her words, there was a loud "bang" and the teacup in Ye Qingyu's hand fell heavily on the table. Suddenly, everyone present became nervous. Manager Lin's heart trembled, and Ruyi and others knelt down again in fear. They all knew that the young prince was angry.
